Control

Lord Kazekage

You followed the female guard down a long narrow hallway that branched off in two different directions. One hallway was to the left and the other was to the right. The guard turned down the left hallway and you quietly followed behind her. As you walked down the hallway you passed many doors until the guard stopped at a door larger than the rest.

She knocked on the door and a male voice sounded behind it, "State your name and business."

"It's me Kikue, I have a young girl here who wishes to speak with you...she said her mother was Emiri."

It was quiet for a few minutes before the unknown individual spoke again.

"Send her in." 

Kikue then quietly opened the door and held it open for you. You took a shaky breath as you slowly walked into the room. You then jumped as the door slammed shut behind you.

"It's okay. There's nothing to be scared of. No harm will come of you here." A voice said, effectively capturing your attention. You turned your head to the voice to see a man with salmon-pink hair and dark eyes. He was calmly sitting at a desk. Around him were several piles of neatly stacked paperwork.

"Well come over here and sit down." The man said gesturing to a chair in front of his desk. Slowly you walked towards the man and took a seat in the chair. The man quietly observed you, taking in your disheveled appearance. You were dirty and small cuts and scraps littered your body.

"You can call me Lord Kazekage." The man said causing you to nod in acknowledgement.

"What's your name?"

"My name's (YN)." You said as you subconsciously began fiddling with the hem of your shirt.  Unbeknownst to you, this drew attention to your hands and wrists which were discolored and slightly scabbed. The man quietly stared at them, a look of sympathy in his eyes before he offered you his untouched water. He silently watched as you greedily drank all the water in the glass before continuing with his questioning. 

"All right. Now, you said that your mother was Emiri correct?" 

You looked down at the mention of your mother before slowly nodding your head.

"Hmm well I can see the resemblance, you're small like she was and you have her eyes." The Kazekage said causing you to look up at him with a faint smile.

You didn't like being told you were small but you loved it when people said you were like your mother.

"Now...tell me why you have come here, I assume it wasn't in good circumstances judging from your physical appearance." The Kazekage said as he looked you over once again. 

"T-there was a fire... it burned down the village. My family..." You started before stopping to take a deep breath to calm yourself.

"My family didn't make it..." You said as you closed your eyes to keep the tears from resurfacing.

"Before Mommy died she told me to come here. She said you would help me." You added as you opened your eyes back up once you felt like you were no longer going to cry.

The man nodded as he stared down at you with a thoughtful look.

"Well, your mother was right to send you here. After all, I owe her for her helping me in the past." The man said voicing his thoughts out loud before giving you a nod.

"Alright, I'll help you (YN). I'll allow you to live in Sunagakure. You will live with your mother's brother, Hakuseki."

"Thank you Lord Kazekage." You said as you bowed your head in respect. You didn't have anywhere else to go so you simply accepted his words.
