The Daughter of Kurama (Discontinued)

Chapter 2 - Kurama

Augghhh....

I stand up

Where am I?

*Snap*

Who's there?!

"Hello there dear"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes slowly open. I just had the weirdest dream in my life! I get up and look around. Apparently I'm in the woods that look eerily familiar. Why does everything look, I do know, cartoony? Hand drawn?

"Hey. What are you doing there on the ground? Did something happen to you?" Says a familiar voice. I turn my head where the voice is coming from.

"Wait what?" I reply in a confused, croaky voice. "What happened to you?" Replies the man with grey/white hair. "I-I don't remember I-I am so sorry!" I flinch, curling myself into a ball, expecting to be hit.

There is a pause as the voice states, "I'm not going to hit you. Am I that scary?" Something about that voice is familiar, so familiar yet I can't seem to place a finger on it. Maybe if my vision gets better. I slowly sit up, still staring at the figure. When my vision doesn't clear up, I rub my eyes. "Ah, sorry. I just can't see very well right now. So I thought you were a bandit or something." I reply, opening my eyes again.

"Ma, if you don't answer that question I guess that's fine. But you really should not sleep on the ground, I thought you were dead." I open my eyes again, squinting and blinking multiple times. "Sorry. I didn't mean to." I say softly, even though I have no control how I ended up here. As I rub my eyes a little bit, when I open them I can finally see the figure clearly. And what I see in front of me made me freeze and make my heart pound. Holy shit it's Kakashi. There was no mistaking it, his signature spiky light grey hair, his headband covering his eye, and a Icha Icha book in one hand. I am seeing Kakashi Hatake in the flesh. Kakashi sighs. "It's fine for you to take naps outside, just not far from your home. There are bandits in the land of fire you know." He scolds. I blink. "Uh. Sorry?" I apologize again because just how am I supposed to respond with my situation?

Kakashi just brushes me off. "Which reminds me, just how far are you from your house? And why are you alone? You're obviously not a ninja by your outfit and lack of hitake." He raises his half visible brow. "I-I don't know?" I answer nervously as I rub my temples. "My head still hurts. I think I might've hit my head." I whine.

"Hm. Concussion maybe?" Kakashi asks as he looks at me curiously. "Maybe?" I answer back uncertainty. Kakashi just nods a little.

"Well I'm no medic so I can't really do anything about that. But do you know what happened to you?" He asks. I immediately start breaking into a cold sweat. Shit, what am I supposed to say exactly?! I don't even know how I got here! I don't know anything! "Um. No? Last thing I remember was walking and then feeling like I was burning before falling and hitting something and getting knocked out." I say nervously.

Kakashi hums as he tilts his head. "Ma, you might have had a heat stroke. Then hit your head when you fell down. It would explain your vision and headache." Kakashi nods. I look at him, slowly nodding. "That would make sense." I mutter.

"Can you answer my previous questions? I know you aren't in the best condition but still. A young child like you in the woods alone and unarmed is asking for trouble." Kakashi states. I nervously look to the left. "Ah. Um. I don't exactly have a home." I wince at how poorly executed that was.

"And your parents or guardians?" Kakashi demands. I shrink within myself. "Uh. They are all in a far away place now." I cringe. Even though it was technically true considering that everyone was basically in another dimension.
