chapter 3

I was tied up in a roll of rope as Kenji dragged me by a rope as long as a dog leash.

I sighed, "You know, I'd actually prefer to walk."

He didn't respond until I began to squirm in the ropes.

"I don't know how you know all of these things about the village and the ninja there, but until we discover how you are a threat to the populace."

I laughed. Me? Little me who couldn't even throw a kunai in a straight line?

Trust me I'd tried with pencils before. And paper wads. And several other random objects. I have no aim.

Kenji just ignored me as the gates to Konoha came into view.

I gasped. Holy cow I was in KONOHA of all places! SO COOL!

The mountain with the faces of the Hokages were still constructing Tsunade's face, so I realized it was somewhere before Shippuden.

I wiggled inside the rope as he stopped at the gate and the all too famous gate keepers asked, "Who's she?"

I gasped, "You're Kotetsu! Wow!"

He gave me a funny look and Kenji stated, "I need an audience with the Hokage immediately."

Kotetsu nodded slightly and asked, "What about her?"

Kenji cut the ropes and shoved me straight into Izumo.

Kenji smirked. "Welcome to fathers for a day, kohai."

I smiled up at them and cooed, "I know all about you! You guys were so cool in the chuunin exams!" I knew my eyes were all lit up and sparkly.

Izumo asked, "Who are you?"

I smiled, "My name is Morgan, nice to meet you!"

Kotetsu asked, "How do you know who we are?"

I smiled. "I saw the Chuunin exams…" The lie was close enough to the truth!

Izumo rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "So um… our shifts up and we're stuck with you so… what do you want to do?"

Good old people who don't know how to turn down a pretty face and a soft giggle…

I wiggled in excitement. "Can we go see the Hokage mountain?!"

They both nodded and looked like they were about to jump off when I shouted, "I'm not a ninja, thank you! I can't do that!"

They both anime fell and sighed, "I guess we're walking…"

I smiled happily to myself as I was led around the village.

I suppressed my glee at seeing all of the houses. It was my dream come true! I was inside Konoha! WAY COOL!

Kotetsu heard my stomach growl and smiled kindly. "I guess a quick detour from the mountain is fine. I'm about to die of hunger too!"

He laughed and Izumo sighed, "I guess it's my turn to pay…"

We cheered at him as I followed the more carefree Kotetsu into… OMG… Ichiraku Ramen!

I wanted to die of happiness.

The old guy asked me what kind I wanted and I replied, "Uh, miso?"

Kotetsu laughed and ordered his own as he ruffled my hair. The three of us were getting along so great now!

That was until a certain unhappy Anbu member appeared again and threw me over his shoulder.I waved to my two new friends. They waved back with goofy grins. They were way too cool to only be minor characters…

Blame the fan-girl in me for this, but as soon as the Hokage building came into view I squealed.

Kenji sighed. "Calm down or Tsunade will be strict with you."

I giggled as he walked up the stairs with me. I waved to a few startled looking kids and winked.

This was so fun!… Even though I was kidnapped in Konoha by an extremely bossy Anbu ninja.

Kenji knocked on the door and set me down. At her command I darted into the office.

I bowed like a million times. "Lady Tsunade, what an absolute honor to meet you!"

I gasped when I saw Sakura next to her. I hadn't been that big a fan of hers but you'd be surprised what meeting the actual person is like compared to just hating them from a distance.

I wanted to hug her and scream like the fan girl I was.

The woman behind the desk seemed confused. "So this is that 'suspicious girl' you told me about? She just seems like a normal teenager to me."

Kenji sighed, "Tell her what you know about Konoha."

I laughed, "You became Hokage after Naruto and Jiraiya went looking for you, a little after the attack on Naruto by the Akatsuki, and Sasuke was hospitalized because of a Sharingan side effect. At first you didn't want go with them, and you challenged Naruto to see if he could finish his Rasengan in three days. He did it, though it wasn't perfect during the battle when Orochimaru and Kabuto came to request your help in-"

I was cut off yet again by someone's hand over my mouth.

I gulped. Uh-oh…

Tsunade laughed, "You've done your research!"

I smiled. "Yeah, I guess…"

Sakura looked confused, "How do you know so much?"

I looked away and tapped my chin in thought. I needed an excuse NOW.

With relief I stated, "I really don't remember… when I woke up I had no memory of being in the Land of Fire."

Sakura frowned, "Amnesia?"

Tsunade nodded, "Must be. Well then, we have no choice. Sakura, can you find a place for Morgan to stay a while? Preferably with someone."

I was SO ecstatic.

Sakura led me out of the door and down the stairs to where my two new buddies were waiting for me.

"Kotetsu! Izumo!"

They waved happily and Sakura asked, "Can either of you take her in a while?"

Both looked sorry, "I just don't have the room…" Kotetsu stated scratching the back of his head.

Izumo stated, "My distant family is visiting, so maybe after they leave."

Sakura nodded her thanks and the group of four including me walked down the street attracting attention.

Of course three ninja and a girl in weird clothes would attract attention… DUH.

So Sakura walked up to an estate I thought looked familiar. I gasped as Shikamaru's dad opened the door.

Ten minutes later the situation was explained and he nodded, "We have room. She can stay with us a while."I wanted to cheer. Even though Shikamaru was kinda dull, I was excited!"

Sakura and my two older friends left and I was ditched with Shika's dad alone until either Shika or his mom got back from doing stuff. We sat in awkward silence as we waited for them to arrive.

After a while the man asked, "Want to play Shogi?"

I sighed slightly and stated, "I don't know how to play…"

He gave me a funny look and said, "I can teach you."

-1 hour later-

He laughed, "You lose again!"

I sighed, "Checkers is so much easier!"

He looked confused. I smiled, "I can teach you."

We ended up using rocks we found in the yard and drawing the board on paper. Aren't we creative?

I was using the black rocks and he was using the white ones.

He laughed, "I win!"

I sighed, "How is it that even on my terms you win?"

He laughed and ruffled my hair as a confused boy's voice asked, "Who's she?"

I turned and saw none other than Shikamaru himself. I gasped and stood, "Wow! You're Shikamaru Nara!"

His dad sighed, "And what does that make me?"

I laughed nervously and replied, "Shikamaru's dad?" He face-palms and I laugh.

Shikamaru asked, "Well you know me but who are you?"

His dad laughs slightly and stated, "Your new sister!"

Shika looked annoyed and turned to walk away until his dad shouted, "Morgan has amnesia and can't remember anything about herself other than her name."

Shika looked interested, "Really?"

I nodded hesitantly and his eyebrows rose, "Interesting…"

His dad stated, "You two will be sharing a room until Morgan can find her own place!"

We both anime fell. "WHAT?!"

~Tsunade POV~

I watched as Sakura led Morgan away.

"Kenji?" I asked. The man nodded as he waited. "I want you to research that girl. I have a feeling you'll find something."

Kenji nodded, "I have this feeling I've seen her face somewhere before."

I nodded, "Exactly… I feel the same."
