So that was why she was living here in a dango shop? Well, no one would think that a rare kekkei genkai wielder would be living in a place like this. But still...

'If everyone in your clan changed their names, then why didn't you?' I asked. The angered expression on Moriko's face relaxed upon hearing my question. She answered with a sadder look in her eyes 'Because, it is the only thing I have.'

'What do you mean?' She shrugged 'I don't have any memories of my past.'

'What?' I asked, shocked. 'Amnesia. The doctor said that I had suffered injuries to my head in the past. Because of that I can't remember anything. But I can still remember my name, age and... birthday.' 'Birthday? So you don't remember anthing else, but your birthday.'

Her expression immediately regained the annoyed expression from when she was called me a "goat" inside the house 'I remember my birthday because it was among the last things that happened during the "incident"! So stop looking and talking to me like I am an idiot, you stupid goat!'

'Okay, I am sorry.' I apologised quickly, acting as if I hadn't heard her call me a goat. This girl... she'll be the end of me. Saying whatever she felt like loudly- the very type of people I who annoy me. But she also hid away a lot of things, seeing how she mentioned an "incident" now. So maybe she isn't that type. I avoided inquiring about this "incident", as she began looking even more uncomfortable.

She calmed down after I apologised a little more. I looked at her. There something so familiar about her--- the way she looked when she was looking away as she spoke, or when in deep thought. Her black hair and eyes which contrasted with her slightly fair complexion. Then a faint memory came back, which had been lost so long ago-- Riko. My first and only childhood crush, which I had long gotten over and was now just a forgotten memory.

It seemed Moriko had felt my long gaze at her, as she turned to me. I quickly looked away.

I wasn't wrong, he was staring at me. It didn't bother me much, since it was different from the stares that I am used to. It was not filled with hatred or fear, or with a curious, questioning my abilities and existence. But his was with a curiousity which wasn't very inquiring or forceful, but as if he wanted to know about me. And it also felt rather warm. It was something which Ume and Kyuu gave me when they first found me.

The same went for that jonin this guy came with. But there was something very familiar about him. And despite our initial meeting, I felt rather comfortable around him. That silver-white hair and those dark grey eyes. Wait- could he be...

'Hey, you never told me your name.' He didn't show it much, I could tell that I had startled him with my question. 'It's Kakashi Hatake.' he said calmly. Then as if my subconscious mind had been witing for it, 'Kashi?' I asked him. This startled him even more. 'R-Riko?' he asked startled.

I just continued to stare at him, shocked as realisation dawned on me that this was the same boy I had met and developed a small crush on barely 2 years ago...

*Flashback to 2 yrs before*

I am feeling so mad! Tokemi had promised that she would go with me to the village fair today. And she just had to get stuck with family business today only. She knows that I cannot go to the fair by myself. The villagers would just keep a distance from me while throwing those looks at me, or even push me away. But whenever I was with Tokemi, I could still muster the courage to keep walking ahead. Besides, they believed that Tokemi could keep me from "getting out of control". Maybe they weren't so wrong, it did feel like my powers were under control whenever I was with Tokemi.
