As soon as I had seen Maya fall to her knees I couldn't help but rush to her. I grabbed her arms to keep her from hitting her head of the thick ground.
Hedeki had been right behind me. "Is she alright?" He asked concern taking over.
I sighed "Yes, she just needs some rest."
He ran the back of his hand along her cheek. "This is from back then. I'll never forgive myself for letting them hurt the two of you; the way they hurt me." A few tears ran down his face. He was clearly upset by it.
"You couldn't do anything to help us. You were locked away in that casket." I said trying to comfort him, "Um, could you take her to my house? I believe you know where that is. I think she would be comfortable in my room." He nodded his head and made off towards my house. 'Now, what am I going to say to Kakashi? That's my brother, he came to get Maya and I? Ugh! He still doesn't know that I have my memory back. Ugh, this is going to be one explaination that I wish Iruka or Gai were here to explain. They're better at this than I am.' I thought as I walked back out to the training area that the others were at. "Stella-sensei? Where's Maya?" Neji asked calmly. "She was a little dazed. I had someone take her to my house. I'll take you to see in a little bit. If you want." I winked at him and walked off snickering. I walked over to where Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Tenten were training. It was the bell test, for the twentith time in the few years that we had known each. I laughed as I noticed him use the head-hunter jutsu. I thrusted myself at the earth where he was hiding; and I revealed him to three genin.
Although, I threw kunai at their feet and said "The two of us need to talk." They left us to talk and in time Kakashi had come to understand the situation. I smiled and gave him a kiss. "I need to go. I promised Neji that I would take him over to my place to check on Maya. They seem to have taken an interest in one another." I jumped off his chest and ran back out to get Neji. Together we went over to my house; where everything seemed a little out of place since I got my memory back. I showed Neji up to where my room where Maya was resting. Hedeki had the window open and the curtains were blowing slightly. I had cream-coloured curtains. I loved to waked up to them blowing in the summer breeze. Neji sat down on the edge of the bed beside Maya. I walked to the bedside; and her eyes began to flicker. She groaned protestantly and rolled over.
"I think she might be conscious now." I said softly. "Maya? Maya, can you hear me?"
She groaned and pulled the blanket over her head and pulling her knees to her chest. "Just a few more minutes, my head is killing me." She said.
"I guess I'll have to tell your boyfriend to leave." I giggled.
"Ugh? What?" She tossed the blanket off, then pulled it back up to her chest. She sat up, squinting in the light coming through the window. The sun was beginning to go down. Neji gripped her arms and kissed her forehead. I smiled because I could tell for a long time that they liked each other.
"Lets go, Hedeki." I said waving for him to follow me; and we walked out of the room to give them a little time to themselves. I trusted that they wouldn't do anything that they would be good. "Hedeki. I need to know something." I said as I lead him into the kitchen. "What is it that they did to you?" I asked sharpening my gaze on him.
"Like you; they gave me different animal parts. Only, I have those of reptiles and one bird. A komodo dragon, chamilion, and raven." He said, lifelessly.
"It's OK. I think it's cool that you got reptiles. I got a wolf, fox, and cat. What a trio. We're nothing more than absolute chimeras; who were seperated for so many years." I laughed a little before continuing, "Hedeki. If your here to ask Maya and to leave with you. I don't think you'll ever win against us. We're decided. We don't want to leave; and I don't think even asking Maya will make a difference." I said as I went into the living room to meet Maya and Neji. "Hey, instead of going back out to train; why don't we go out and get something to eat? How about fish?" I asked, jokingly.
Maya shot me a gaze "That wasn't funny!" She screamed at me.
"Hey, I was only joking! Calm down!" We argued the rest of way to the ramen hut.
It wasn't until that night that I had felt something weird about the waterfall. I looked up to where it was and felt uneasy. I rushed over to Kakashi's house; which was closer to the ramen hut than my house was. "Kakashi?" I asked as I entered his house. I looked around and saw him on his bed fast asleep. 'Wow, doesn't he ever take that off while he's sleeping? Does he even need to breathe at night? Hm, I'll just leave a note; then scurry home.' I thought as I crept across his bedroom. 'Hm, Kakashi- I need you to meet me at the waterfall, before training. I'm sure there's something there. I felt it, it's the first time, here that I felt this way.- Forever your love, Stella. P.S. Don't leave your window open. It hasn't been safe around here for awhile.' I thought as I wrote it. Then I covered Kakashi with his blanket and kissed his forehead before crawling out the window and closing it tightly. Then I hurried home to close my window; only to accidently fall on my side as entered through the window. 'Ow.' I thought rubbing my sore butt. It had been a long night for me; and I just wanted to unwind myself. If only Hedeki wasn't still trying to convince me to leave the village. "Sorry, brother or not. I'm not leaving the one I love or my little sister; and she feels the exact same. So, your welcome to come live here; if your willing. Otherwise, you can go back to the cottage." I said keeping defensive.
He sighed "Alright, if the two of you feel this strongly. I'll be moving into Konohamaru in a few days." He jumped out the kitchen window as I took a sip of tea 'Doesn't he use a door? I wonder if he's even able to.' I thought.
