Team seven gathered in the Hokage's office, depressed faces lined in a row. Tsunade turned to them. "We all know why we're here," she stated. She pulled out a small book.
"That's Keira's song book!" Sakura and Naruto gasped.
"Yes. And I'm planning on looking through it," she declared. Sakura flinched slightly. Should she stop Tsunade? They were invading Keira's privacy... Tsunade attempted to open it, but couldn't.
"Oh!" Sakura exclaimed, "She mentioned once that no one would be able to open it because she had to run her chakra through it for it to open," Sakura explained.
"Hm... Perhaps if we overload it with chakra..." Tsunade proceeds to run her chakra through the book, and it fell open. She rifled through it, and everyone peered at it, catching glimpses of words of songs.
"Fake your laughter; burn the tear; sing it loud--"
"All of my days are spent; within this skin; within this cage that I'm in--"
"Feels like we're just waiting, waiting; as our hearts are just breaking, breaking--"
"I find it kind of funny; I find it kind of sad; the dreams in which I'm dying; are the best I've ever had-"
She's just reminiscing; blood sweat, one thing's missing; she's been breaking up inside--"
"You know there's more then what you've heard; there's so much more then empty conversations, filled with empty words--"
"Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead; yesterday is a promise that you've broken--"
"There's a song that's inside of my soul; it's the one that I've tried to write over and over again; I'm awake in the infinite cold--"
"Nothing to run from; is worse than something, and all your fears; of nothing--"
"I'm still looking for a home; in a world where I belong--"
"She turns like the ocean; she tells no emotion--"
"Do you love me enough to let me go?"
The Hokage stopped it on one of the last filled in pages. A song was there.
"Enough To Let Me Go"
Oh, I'm a wandering soul
I'm still walking the line
That leads me home, alone
All I know
I still got mountains to climb
On my own, on my own
Do you love me enough to let me go?
To let me follow through
To let me fall for you , my love
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Back from the dead of winter
Back from the dead and all our leaves are dry
You're so beautiful, tonight
Back from the dead we went through
Back from the dead and both our tongues are tied
You look beautiful tonight
But every seed dies before it grows
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
To let me follow through
To let me fall for you, my love
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Breathe it in and let it go
Every breath you take is not your to own
It's not your to hold
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
To let me follow through,
To let me fall for you, my love
Do you love me enough to let me go?
Everyone stared. "She wants us to let her go?" Naruto asked, voice breaking.
"That's certainly what it sounds like," Tsunade admitted.
Sakura felt the pages. She's speaking of Gaara here, she thought. "Back from the dead, and both our tongues are tied," .... Back from when they didn't remember each other... From when they hated each other... I'll have to send Gaara this song, let him know what's happened.
They flipped the page over. On it was her writing, but it wasn't a song. It was an entry. It read:
I'm going to be leaving. I don't know for how long, or how far I'll be traveling. But I'll be leaving. I know that Sasuke is at least considering leaving... But I can't believe he actually will. Maybe it's because I don't want to believe what's right in front of me...But I want to leave, so I can figure out where I come from.
I know that I'm an experiment of Orochimaru's, but I want-- no, I NEED to know more.
For example: I don't even know when my birthday is. My f*cking birthday! Every kid knows at least that much!
I want to know who my parents were... How I grew up... What makes me this way... I need answers!
And so I'll be leaving. I don't even know when.
But I know I will be.
-Keira
"We'll, that's that," the Hokage said sadly, closing the book.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked., rubbing at her eyes.
"Keira Boukyaku is officially a rogue ninja from the leaf," She declared.
"What? No! I don't believe it!" Naruto argued.
"It's all here. She might as well have confessed. She admitted to planning on l leaving the village without the Hokage's permission. You can't do that," Kakashi asked. He was wondering how he could have failed his team so badly.
"B-But she didn't think we would see this... are we jumping to conclusions?" Sakura asked, but she was ignored.
Tsunade began writing on a piece of paper. "Keira Boukyaku: Rogue nin from the leaf. Appearance, dark brown hair, lighter highlights. Yellow eyes. Height: 143 centimeters. Age:"
"We don't know for sure," Naruto whispered. "She doesn't even know,"
"Age: 12-14. Rank:"
"I would put her at a B or A rank," Kakashi advised.
"Seriously? Amazing... Rank: A." She completed the form. "Better safe than sorry," She admitted. "That will be all. You're dismissed!"
They all began to troop out, shell shocked. A depressed aurora hung around them There it was, solid proof that Keira was planning on becoming a rogue nin. They felt betrayed, hurt, disbelief ran through them.
They almost didn't want to remember her anymore.
No one saw the note on the back of the page.
"Ask Hokage for permission."
