Don't Call Me Kitten Book 1 Of 3 *Naruto* COMPLETE

Alone

                 "Okay Moody, where do we begin?"
I level my gaze with the man's and wait for him to reply. He stares me down, his eyes challenging me to back down. He doesn't break the stare but tells me to lift my shirt sleeve. I cock an eyebrow but comply. He sighs in frustration before telling me to come up to the desk. I mutter under my breath that he could have said that in the beginning, but get to my feet and head over to him. He roughly grabs my wrist and pulls my arm closer to him. I watch as he looks it over intently, searching for something, but I have no idea what. I finally voice my question and he mutters that I don't have the 'symbol' before asking what clan I came from.
"I told you already, Hanari."
"You don't have the Hanari symbol. All members of the clan have the symbol on their forearm. Who are your parents?"
"My mother was Koemi Hanari, I was never told who my father was. We didn't stay in the compound when I was a child, so I never got the symbol. My mom had one." I explain.
                       He nods and releases my arm just as someone knocks on the door. I turn to see who it is and a strange, almost wooden looking man comes in, holding two vials and a syringe. My eyes flash to Hoshigaki to gauge his reaction but he doesn't seem too perturbed by the man's arrival. I face Moody again and he tells me that Sasori, who I assume is the strange guy, is going to test some of my blood. After that, Kisame is supposed to take me to a room for the night, and I'm to report to their training hall in the morning. I nod and hold out my arm for Sasori to draw my blood. I don't understand the point of collecting my blood but I figure it's best not to argue with these people right now. I feel the slight sting of the needle breaking the skin and a moment later it's gone. Moody nods at me to dismiss me and I collect my bags before following Hoshigaki out into the hall.
"What purpose did taking my blood have? What are they using it for?" I ask quietly as he leads me through the halls again.
"I'm not sure, it's best not to question it."
I nod and fall silent again, focusing on the path we're taking. Sadly, we take one more step before he comes to a stop before a wooden door. I should've paid more attention on the way over here.
"This will be your room, mine is next door in case you need anything. On your other side is my partner, he keeps to himself so he shouldn't be a problem. Don't bother the one across the hall."
"Who is that?" I ask, staring at the door across from me.
"Don't worry about it Pipsqueak. I'll come get you in the morning for training."
"Hey Hoshigaki-sama, call me Koneko or something, okay?"
"Then call me Kisame, Hoshigaki-sama makes me sound old."
"You are old." I retort, causing him to scowl.
"Goodnight, Koneko." He turns and goes into the door to my right and I turn back to the door behind me.
"I guess this is me..." I mutter quietly before stepping inside.
                      The room, my room I suppose, is simple, a bed, a dresser, a desk, and another door off to the side. I peek through the other door and find a small bathroom with a shower. A small grin crosses my face at the thought of fresh water and getting the blood and dirt off of myself. I drop my bags onto the bed and remove my boots, weapons, and jewelry. I tuck all of them into a dresser drawer, just in case someone comes in they won't find them immediately. I pull out a clean set of undergarments, a tank top, and a pair of cotton shorts before locating my soaps in one of the bags. I take everything I've pulled from the bags and walk into the bathroom, locking the door behind myself. I shower, careful of my collarbone and the bruising around my eye, then dress.
               When I return to the bedroom, I'm relieved to find that no one is in here. Being in this place has made me partially paranoid. There's a lock for the bathroom door, but not my own door. Makes sense. I put my bags in the corner of the room by my bed so that they're out of the way, then sit down to braid my hair out of my face. My eyes wander around the room, the reality setting in that I'm not home anymore. That I don't have a home anymore. I never truly belonged in Konoha and certainly didn't have anyone there that cared about me. I doubt people will even know that I'm gone. I'll miss training tomorrow but I've skipped before. Shikamaru and Kakashi-sensei were the two people I communicated with the most, but that was a rare occurrence. I've always been alone but I had Deidara to make me feel less alone even though it was very seldom I got to see him. That obviously ended up being garbage. I'm fully alone, always have been, always will be.
