| MEMORIES |

•2• Ninja?

"Do you remember anything? (Y/N)-chan? Anything else?"

(Y/N) walked next to Kakashi, slightly leaning onto him for support as she tried her best to walk. She turned to face Naruto, who had an excited look plastered on his face.

It had been a week since she had woken up, and she couldn't recall anything other than her name. (Y/N) opened her mouth, to respond when a picture of Irises entered her mind. She somehow found herself answering, "Irises?"

A confused look appeared on Naruto's face as he repeated, "Irises? You mean the flowers?"

(Y/N) nodded before she muttered, "They're important, somehow."

Silence filled the group as they walked towards Kakashi's apartment. "Do you..." everyone turned to Sasuke, surprised at his voice. "Do you really have no memory? Or are you faking it?"

"Oi Sasuke! That's enough!" Kakashi scolded before he placed a hand on Sasuke's head. "The Hokage had given her permission to stay here, there's no need to be suspicious." Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest before he let out a low scoff.

(Y/N) stared at the black-haired male for a few seconds before she turned to face Kakashi. "You guys are ninjas? Right?" Kakashi turned to look at her, yet had no chance to speak. 

"Yep! We're genin! Look! Look!" the (h/c) haired girl turned to Naruto, who was pointing at the headband he wore on his forehead. (Y/N) admired in silently for a few seconds before a memory flashed into her mind.

The female suddenly found herself in a field, staring at a patch of Irises. "(Y/N)!" she turned to the sound of the voice to find a boy, looking around the age of seven years old running towards her. Once he was close enough, he stopped running and began walking towards her, panting. "Here," he placed a headband on her hands before he continued, "You left so quickly sensei couldn't give it to you." (Y/N) looked down at the headband yet it soon vanished into thin air.

Letting out a groan, (Y/N) leaned onto Kakashi as she held her head with her hands. She began scratching the back of her head as she closed her eyes, hoping to ease the pain. She could hear muffled voices yet couldn't distinguish who they bring to. After a few seconds, the pain stopped, and she opened her eyes to find a pair of worried blue eyes staring at her.

"(Y/N)-chan, are you alright?" instead of answering the blond, she stuttered in a low tone, "I think I'm a ninja."

"Alright, (Y/N), just stand here, alright. Don't move." (Y/N) nodded her head and stood silently. She watched as Kakashi took a few steps backwards before he stood facing her. She glanced at the three twelve-year-olds, who stood a few feet away from them, watching in silence.

Taking in a deep breath, (Y/N) turned to Kakashi, who reached into his pocket. Her eyes widened when he took out a pair of kunai knives. 'Relax, he wouldn't—' to her surprise, the male threw it towards the female, causing panic to fill her veins.

She instinctively closed her eyes as she felt her hands move on their own. Taking in a deep breath, she exhaled longer than she intended.

"You really are a ninja," the female waited a few seconds before opening one eye to find Kakashi in front of her, staring down at her with a small smile. A hand was placed on her head as she felt him ruffle her hair. "Good job."

"Ah (Y/N)-chan!" suddenly, the female was on the ground, with a blond male on-top of her. She felt him rub his cheek against hers while he spoke in a loud tone, "I thought Kakashi-sensei was going to kill you!"

Suddenly, the blond was ripped from her as she felt a hand pull her up. "Don't be stupid, Naruto. It was a test of instincts. If she was truly a ninja, her instincts would've come out and she would've defended herself. If not, I would've caught the kunai knives in time." Kakashi then turned to (Y/N) and apologized, "I'm sorry for scaring you."

(Y/N) shook her head before denied the apology. "No, no. I should thank you for helping," the (h/c) haired female stuttered, causing a small smile to appear on Kakashi's lips. He placed his hand on her head and slowly ruffled her hair.

"Now that we know you're a ninja, you can join us for missions! Right Kakashi-sensei?"

A questioning look was placed on Kakashi's face before he assumed, "If the Hokage's alright with it; I guess it would help you unlock memories of your life."

Naruto jumped up and let out a sound of excitement as he pumped his fist in the air. "Now let's go eat ramen!"

• • •

"Itadakimasu!" The blonde yelled out before he began stuffing the food in his mouth, making the older female next to him giggle.

(Y/N) turned her head to the ramen in front of her. "Itadakimasu," she muttered lowly as she picked up her chopsticks, broke them apart and began eating.

It was only her and Naruto. Sasuke cancelled, saying he had better things to do, and since Sasuke wasn't going, neither did Sakura, which left Kakashi, Naruto, and her. However, Kakashi claimed he had to fill out some paperwork, and left, leaving only the two of them.

Minutes later, both finished their bowls, (Y/N)'s first, and Naruto's third. "I'm stuffed!" Naruto exclaimed as he patted his stomach. He turned to face the (h/c) haired girl next to him, only to find a concerned look on her face.

"Huh? (Y/N)-Chan? What's wrong?" He asked, concern written all over his face.

"Naruto," the girl asked, a low blush of embarrassment spread across her cheeks, "Where will I sleep?"

The blond let out a sound of confusion before he responded casually, "That's easy! I found you so you stay with me!"

A blush of embarrassment spread across her cheeks as she opened her mouth to thank the blond when a certain silver-haired-male interrupted her. "Wrong. She'll be staying with me."

Note:
Kakashi did not do the paperwork; he read his favourite series, Makeout Paradis.
