I felt drowsy, like I had been… Gone, for a long time.

A bright shine of… Something, intruded my eyes… Were they called eyes? I think they were…

I looked up, nothing, but green, I didn’t know where I was.

I glanced around me, trees, I was in a forest, I think. I held my head, it hurt, a lot.

What is… Hurt?

What am I… Saying?

I tried to get up, my legs were shaking and I leaned on a tree for support.

Where was I?

I looked down on myself, I had long black hair, I was clothed in a cloak, and just a cloak. I was bare footed, my feet treaded on the hard stones on the ground.

I looked up at the sky confused.

What was this?

Where was I?

I froze, I didn’t under…stand…

Step by step, I walked towards a nearby… Thing. With a blue runny substance. What was it? I looked into it, I could see a girl with black hair and black eyes looking at me.

Who was this?

I wanted to talk to her, to ask her where I was.

I opened my mouth, ‘… I-I-I…’ I couldn’t say anything, I didn’t know what to say, I forgot what to say.

I reached out to touch her, she did the same thing, I blinked, she did the same, I put down my hand, and she did the same. I sat on the ground. This girl did the exact same things I was doing, I looked at the blue substance again, and then looked up, it was the same thing, but a bit abstract in the blue.

Then I realised.

That girl, was me.

I got up and started slowly walking in a random direction, leaning on the trees for support. Were they called trees? I don’t know anymore.

“Okaa-san! Grandpa! There’s a pretty girl here!” I heard a deep voice say loudly.

I winced, loud wasn’t something I was used to, I… Don’t think so…

A woman with long dark blue hair, an old man and a boy, looked at me strangely.

The woman came towards me, I panicked, I stepped back and tripped, falling onto the ground and opening my mouth to say something. But I couldn’t.

“Oh you poor thing, are you okay? Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.” She smiled. I gulped, she put a hand on my head and I flinched, but she stroked my head and I slowly leaned into her touch. “What’s your name?”

I opened my mouth, “N-N-Na…me…?” I stuttered.

She nodded, “Do you know your name?”

What is a ‘name’? I shrugged at her.

She looked at the other people, “I think we should keep her in our house, maybe ask around, someone might know who she is.”

“Great idea Tsunami. Come on Inari, we have to get more fish.” The old man said to the boy, he nodded determined and they walked away.

Tsunami, that’s what the man called her, she held my hand and brought towards a house, I looked up at it, it wasn’t huge, but not small either.

“Do you remember anything?” She asked me.

I blinked and lowered my head. What was ‘remember’? Could I eat it?

She sighed, “I’ll take that as a no.”

So I can’t eat it?

We entered the house and she made me sit down, a few minutes later, the boy and old man came it.

“We got a few more fish Okaa-san.” The boy grinned.

“Good, I’ll start cooking while you two help the girl out.” Tsunami said. She got up and I watched her leave.

The boy sat in front of me, “What’s your name?”

I blinked at him, there was that word again, what was ‘name’?

“I’m guessing you don’t know it. Can you understand me?” He asked, more fascinated with me. I nodded slowly, he clicked his fingers. “So she can understand me, but she doesn’t remember anything. Okaa-san! I figured it out!” he shouted.

I flinched and covered my ears, he yelped, “Sorry! I didn’t know!” I nodded slowly and took my hands away from my ears, he sighed in relief.

“Inari, stop annoying the girl.” The old man sighed.

I looked at the exchange between them and blinked.

I glanced down at myself and saw a silver glimmer, I reached into my cloak and took it out.

“Woah.” Inari breathed out.

“That looks familiar…” The old man said.

It was a necklace with a red and white fan, I didn’t know why I had it, but it was already around my neck.

I looked around the room, my eyes fell on a picture, with a silver haired man, pink haired girl, blonde boy, black haired boy and the people that were with me now.

I blinked and stood up slowly, I nearly tripped and Inari caught me, I looked at him and he grinned. I steadied myself and walked towards the photo, I held it in my hands and studied it.

“Those were dark times. Those ninja’s saved our village, it was about 4 years ago, we even named the bridge after the blondie.” The old man said.

I looked at each of them, I didn’t know them, but I looked at the black haired boy, he had the same fan symbol on him, I blinked and staggered back to my seat.

“What’s wrong? Do you know them?” Inari asked.

I shook my head, I didn’t.

But I pointed at my necklace and the black haired boy, and tilted my head in confusion.

“Uwaaahh! It’s the same symbol!” Inari said in awe.

“I knew I recognised that somewhere!” The old man said.

“Recognised what?” Tsunami came in the room with a big pot. She put it down and took out two long wooden sticks.

“Remember Sasuke? That symbol that he had, so does this girl! It’s on her necklace.” The old man told her.

Tsunami looked at the photo and at my necklace, she smiled, “What a coincidence, do you know him?”

I shook my head no, I didn’t know any of them.

Inari shrugged, “Maybe she brought it from the same shop or something, you know, before she lost her memory.”

The old man shrugged, “Maybe.”

Tsunami gave everyone, including me, two of those wooden sticks and put her hands together.

“Itatakimasu!” They all said together.

Then they all started eating with the sticks, I looked at them and blinked, how was I supposed to eat with sticks?

Tsunami paused, “You don’t know how to eat with chopsticks?”

Chopsticks? Was that what they were called?

“Haaah?! She doesn’t know how to eat with chopsticks?!” Inari said confused.

The old man sighed, “Inari, she lost her memory, I doubt she remembers anything.”

Tsunami eventually taught me how to eat with chopsticks, the food slipped between them a few times, but when I finally got the food in my mouth, they all smiled and clapped.

“Oh, we forgot to introduce ourselves! My name is Tsunami.” She smiled.

The old man then said, “I’m Tazuna.”

The boy gave me a sign with two of his fingers, “And I’m Inari!”

I nodded, “A-A-A…ri…ga…t-t-ou…” I stuttered.

They looked at me shocked.

“No… No problem.” Tsunami smiled.

“Yeah.” Tazuna nodded.

“You’ll be staying with us for a while anyway.” Inari grinned.

Tsunami glared at Inari, “No thoughts Inari, I know you’re at that age, but you’re not allowed yet.”

I tilted my head to the side in confusion, what was she talking about?

Inari blushed heavily, “O-O-Okaa-san!!!”

Tazuna howled in laughter and I popped another one of my pieces of fish in my mouth.

Tsunami smiled, “It’s natural for a young 14 year old boy.”

Tazuna grinned, “Yeah Inari, its natural.”

Inari’s face grew red, “Jii-san!!!!! Okaa-san!!!!!”

Tsunami laughed and her attention fell on me, “What shall we call her? Since she doesn’t remember her name.”

Tazuna shrugged, “I’m not sure.”

Inari put a hand to his chin, “How about… Mitsuko?”

Tsunami paused, “That’s… A good idea. What do you think? Otou-san?”

Tazuna smirked, “I think Inari has a crush.”

Inari’s face grew red again, “Stop saying that! I’m just suggesting a name!”

I tilted my head to the side.

Mitsuko.

Mitsuko.

Mit-su-ko.

I like it.

I nodded my head, Tsunami looked at me, “You like it?” I nodded again.

Tsunami clapped her hands, “Okay, it’s settled! Your new name will be Mitsuko!”

I felt my lips twitch upwards and they all stared at me shocked.

“She… Smiled.” Tazuna blinked.

I bit into another one of my pieces of fish with a smile.

I wouldn’t mind staying here for a while.
