Third person's P.O.V

Yasu slowly opened her eyes and blinked blinded by the bright sun. After her eyes adjusted to the light she rose from the lying position slowly since all her body hurt like hell. Yasu looked around searching for Kimimaro cause he was the one she was with before fainting, after don't finding him she quickly searched her kimono's sleeves looking if the scroll was still her. She felt relief when she found it and happiness for Kimimaro who just like her didn't attack a defenseless person. After looking around herself more she found a letter near her head. It read:

Hello, Rumi-san,

I hope you are feeling better now. Unfortunately I had to leave you behind because of my master. I probably will get punished for failing the mission but I can't help myself and feel a warm feeling in my chest for not taking the scroll from you while you were unconscious. You had opened my eyes and from now on I will try staying by my masters side without taking other peoples lives away. By doing that maybe I will be able to help you, even if only slightly bit, to reach your goal- to obtain peace in our world. Thank you very much for all you did for me. I will never forget you and will stay in your debt till the day I die.

Hope you will heal soon

Kimimaro

Yasu smiled to herself after she finished reading the letter. She got up from the ground and started traveling to the Yumegakure again.

*Two days later in The Land of Sound's headquarters of Otogakure*

Kimimaro stepped into the hideout caring his still unmoving teammates on his shoulders. Kabuto soon came to meet him. Without saying a word he motioned Kimimaro to follow.

“Orochimaru-sama, Kimimaro had returned”he announced after stepping into a room, which was Orochimaru's office, and leaving Kimimaro behind the door.

“Good”Kimimaro heard a slithery voice, which belong to his master, say. Kabuto showed at the doorstep and opened the doors wider letting Kimimaro with ninja still on his shoulders step in.

Kimimaro walked in to a room and while kneeling on one knee bowed to Orochimaru while dropping the other two ninjas from his shoulders to the ground.

Orochimaru looked at the with a hint of surprise at the condition his underlings were in. Not once had Kimaro returned looking so beat up. Actually he usually didn't even get a scratch.

“Please forgive me, Orochimaru-sama, but I failed my mission” Kimimaro said while bowing even lower.

Now Orochimaru along with Kabuto was really taken by surprise. Kimimaro was one of Orochimaru's most faithful and strongest underlings he never had failed a mission before and this one wasn't even the hardest he had gotten before.

“Why?”Orochimaru demanded an answer.

“The person who was appointed to the mission of delivering scroll was simply just stronger than me both mentaly and physically” Kimimaro didn't look even bit sad, angry or scared for losing a fight and failing the mission.

“Who was he?”

“It wasn't he”Kimimaro said and Orochimaru gestured him to explain”It was a female, a girl to be exact. I believe she was no older than twelve”

“How? How could you lose to a female so easily and to a small girl nonetheless!”Kabuto shouted angrily.

“As I said before, she was stronger than me, maybe not stronger but at least equal with me”Kimimaro stated calmly.

“Who was she?”Kimimaro's master asked with interest and a creepy smile on his face.

“From that I learned she is a Konohagakure's genin, Yasu Tsukino”

“Marvelous! Only a genin and so strong already... I want her”

* In Yumegakure*

“Thank you for delivering it, Yasu-san” The chief of Yumegakure and the head of Tenro clan, Enzo Tenro thanked the young kunoichi. He was a large bulky man with gray spiky hair. Enzo's attire consisted of a gray sleeveless kimono shirt with a collar lining of dark blue fur. His forehead protector was shaped like a face-guard and had a three Z's. He wore a red scarf around his neck with round stone ornament attached and brown pants with leg warmers to match fur.

“Your welcome, Enzo-san “Yasu smiled at him.

“Can I ask you to stay for a few days in our village and rest from the journey cause I can see you had encountered some ninjas on the way and had a though fight?”

“ I would me more than glad”Yasu answered.

Yasu spent two days at the village enjoying herself and it took her five days to return back to Konohagakure. This time, fortunately she didn't encounter much trouble just a few bandits who wanted to take advantage on her but she made sure they would never try anything like that ever again.
