The Daughter of Kurama (Discontinued)

Chapter 6 - Tora

A few hours later...

I try to lift my heavy eyes. When I did I slowly got up and look around, but it was dark. I was still in what I presume is the hidden leaf's forest at night. I sigh. Good no one was trying to kidnap me. I got up as I took a wobbly step. My legs were asleep and my feet were numb. Not a good combination when you have to go to sleep immediately. My eyes droop of the idea of sleeping. Although my mind was active in the Tailed Beast Psyche Plane, my body was the only thing that had rest. So I was what you literally called mentally tired. I slowly walk towards my apartment and upon doing so I realized a bit too late that my chakra was still at its full potential. I look around and sigh in relief. There was no shinobi in sight whom were stalking me. When I try to use my chakra to scan my surroundings. I found out that I was dead wrong.

"Come out! I know that your there!" I yelled.

I wait patiently as I see an anbu appear in front of me.

Whoever it was had a masculine body so I presume that he is a boy. He had straight brown hair in a small ponytail. His mask was that of a bird with red markings all over his mask.

"So sorry miss. Habits die hard and it became an instinct when sensing a powerful amount of chakra." The Anbu pauses and takes a good look at me.

"Sorry miss but may you be Etsuko? You look fairly similar to her." the Anbu asks politely.

I tilt my head in confusion as I was wondering what he was talking about. When I take a look at myself I realize that I was still wearing my kimono from the Tailed Beast Psyche Plane. I then immediately start feeling my head for any signs of my ears. I sigh in relief. Apparently when I used the jutsu to make my ears and tails to disappear in the Tailed Beast Psyche Plane, it also affected me on my body here. The Anbu looks at me weirdly at my sudden actions. I laugh awkwardly as I clear my throat.

"Yes I am Estuko, Etsuko Haiku to be more precise. I'm sorry to have startle you with my chakra. I'm still trying to control it." I said slowly.

The Anbu looks at me and says. "Well I'm sorry Etsuko-san but I must take you to the Hokage to see if you are truly Etsuko." The Anbu said in a monotone voice.

I sigh as I already knew he was going to say that. He walks away, showing me the way back to the Hokage Tower. When we finally arrived at the Hokage's office did the Anbu let me rest. I could hear what they were saying due to my now heighten senses of a hanyou being awaken. The conversation went like this.

"What is your reason being here Hawk." Said the Hokage.

Hawk replied. "There is a young girl around her teens that was in the forest. She says she's Etsuko and that her surname is Haiku. I'm not so sure its her for her sudden increase of chakra so I brought her here for inspection."

The Hokage mumbles something which I presume was his dismissal of Hawk to go back and scout the area.

"You may come in." His voice called out.

I open the door slowly as I grin at the Hokage.

"Hello Hokage-sama! And before you can speak. Yes, its me and do I really have to explain to you my appearance and my chakra? Its kind a personal." I said nervously.

The Hokage stares at me as he says in a serious voice.

"No Etsuko. You have to tell me how your chakra levels became so high, also about what was written in that scroll, you still haven't told me what was in it and by how you're acting it makes it hard for me to give you my full trust." He said gruffly.

I wince at that.

"So... What do you want to know first? The scroll or my chakra?" I ask nervously.

"Chakra. It won't hurt to wait a bit on the scroll, after all I have waited two weeks." He stares at me accusingly, a puff of smoke escaping his pipe.
