A/N:

Lol sorry I was late, school happened and made my life a living hell. Chapter may or may not be crappy.

A hooded figure walked towards the gates of Konohagakure. She stopped a few feet away. Looking up at the sky, a small smile crept onto her face.

Home at last...

She walked the last few feet and stopped in front of the gates.

"Halt. Who are you and what is your business in Konoha?"

Izumo demanded. She looked up, hood casting shadows over the top half of her face, concealing her identity.

"My name is unimportant. I wish to have a private audience with Hokage-sama."

She said. Izumo and Kotetsu looked at each other. That voice...it sounded so familiar. A calculative way of talking, like she was carefully selecting each word they said. Soft yet clear, with a tone that was oddly haunting, one that made you want to commit her words to memory.

Just who was she?

"Sure, kid. Follow me to the Hokage tower."

Izumo finally said. They walked side by side towards the center of the village. The hooded figure looked around as they did.

Kids were playing in the park, running around, or with their parents. She recognized the dango shop that she always loved to go to with Itachi, Ichiraku Ramen where she first met Naruto, and the Nara compound, where she had first Shikamaru.

This place really hasn't changed a bit, has it?

Her eyes raked the crowd, searching for two people. As she turned around the corner, she saw one of them.

Uchiha Sasuke.

He was directly in front of her. She looked up, gray eyes flashing for a moment. His eyes widened. He stopped. Time seemed to move in slow motion as she brushed past him. As she walked away, he came back to his senses and continued walking, slightly dazed.

Those silver eyes...that couldn't have been her...could it?

"Hey, kid, who are you? Your voice seems so familiar, but I can't remember your name."

Izumo asked.

"I believe you know me quite well, Izumo-san. After all, you were the one who told me to come back and visit, weren't you?"

She said with a small, teasing smile on her face.

His eyes widened.

°°°

"Sayonara, Izumo-san, Kotetsu-san."

The little silverette said. I chuckled. This kid, she was already saying full sentences at 9 months old.

"Remember to come back and visit, alright?"

I said with a slight teasing tone.

"Sure! You have my word on it!"

°°°

He grinned, getting over the momentary shock.

"Man, you really have gotten taller. I thought you were 14 when you arrived at the gates."

She let out a small laugh.
