~ Fresh Start In Konoha ~ [Part 3]{Hayabusa}

“HAYABUSA!!!” he heard the screams of his younger sister. His face went from glowing to angry red. He had prepared to go say hi to Kokoro.
“WHAT!?!” He yelled. Kasumi came up to him, with her hair flying with the wind. That scream in the pitch that she used usually meant something bad was happening. He feared for the worse that may have happened back at the house that they were appointed. Or maybe one of the children were hurt some how. But, the expression on her face told the exact opposite of anything that had come to his minf.

“YOU HAVE TO COME QUICKLY!!!” She said. Something was off though. Her face lit up with joy and excitement. She grabbed his hand and attempted to pulled. Hayabusa refused and pointed to the shop.
“But… look…” he said. She stopped for a moment and looked at what he was pointing to. She looked back at him confused.
“What?” she asked him. He pointed once more.
“It’s Kokoro…” he said.
“Kokoro?” she said. Then she exclaimed. “KOKORO! The girl from our village when you first started working that disappeared without being able to say good bye?” she asked him very cautiously.
[100|200|2]

“Yes…” he said. She looked at him.
“That’s great, Hayabusa… but think about this… what I have to show you is of equivalent, if not more, importance.” She said trying to pull him.
“How can you be so sure? What is it?”
“You’ll see! COME ON, Hayabusa. The shop is named ‘Kokoro’s’. Chances are, she’ll be there when you get back. “ she said. Hayabusa knew she had a point. He stood there for a minute before looking back at Kasumi and sighing.
“Is it really THAT important?” he asked.
“Hayabusa… it is just as important as our new house.”
[100|300|3]

This shocked Hayabusa. Something as important as his family getting shelter and food? He sighed.
“Ok… I will go by your judgement.” He said.
“Great!” she said, as she pulled his arm and they ran through the village together. As they passed everyone, he felt the exciting aura coming off of her. This was the first time he felt this from her since his thirteenth birthday. This had to had been very good in some way for his younger sister to be acting the way that she had been acting now. The ran for no more than about ten minutes.
[100|400|4]

They halted at the gate, walking outside slightly. Kasumi stood there with her hands folded with the look of an excited school girl waiting for one of her idolized famous actresses or music star. She stood there like a statue. For a minute straight, Hayabusa finally sighed.
“Kasumi…” he began.
“Shhh!” she exclaimed. “Just wait!” she said, then went back to the excited enthusiastic glance that she had had before Hayabusa had interrupted her. Another 5 minutes went by, and he waited before finally, once more, interrupting her glance by, once more, calling her name in a very impatient tone.
[100|500|5]

“Kasumi…” he said. Once more he was silenced by him. It came to the point where he just sat on the benh for ten minutes straight. Finally he stood up and he observed her face once again. It was a look of depression and concern.
“Kasumi… I think I’m goin to…” he began before she began to mumble something of her own.
“He… should be here by now…” she said. Hayabusa listened closer.
“What was that, sis?” he asked.
“He was only five minutes out when I went to get you, he should’ve been here fifteen minutes ago…” she said.
[100|600|5]

“Who?” he asked. But, she just stood there. “Who should be here?” he said, putting his hand on her shoulder. But, before she answered, or did anything else, she broke off into a sprint and began running towards the main path from the outside world. “Wait… WAIT! KASUMI!” he yelled. He sighed and went after her. She yelled as she went.
“SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT!” she yelled from far ahead of him. “I can feel it…” she said. Hayabusa stayed close behind, and not only 5 minutes of running, did they meet their destination, and Hayabusa would reveal this mystery.
[100|700|7]

There had been a man with a wagon and four horses. The wagon had a broken wheel that seemed forces. There were four men there. One had been the owner, being roughed around and assaulted by another. Another one had been taking crates out of the wagon violently looking for valuables, and the last had been releasing one of the prized horses of the man. Hayabusa’s eyes widened as did Kasumi’s. Kasumi ran in first, preparing to help the man. Hayabusa ran after.
“HEY!” she yelled. The three looked up. One of them looked at the one assaulting the man.
[100|800|8]

“Han! We have problems!” he yelled. The man came out of the wagon and, to Hayabusa’s surprise, it had been the same man he had busted earlier. Hayabusa stopped and cracked his knuckles.
“I guess you never learn, huh?” he said. The man had widened eyes. The other two looked at him, then to Hayabusa.
“You mean this is the chump that beat us out of 50,000 ryo?” he said. Kasumi looked at Hayabusa as if to ask what they were talking about.
“This guy…” Hayabusa said to her, pointing to the mean from earlier, “is a crook and theif.”
[100|900|9]

“He had stolen from Kokoro’s father. I chased him down and retrieved the money.” He explained. She gave a nod such as to imply that she understood now.
“Not this time…” one of the new men said. He dropped the man he was assaulting and pulled out a katana. The man in the background loaded up many boxes on the horse that was almost lose and began to climb the horse. He looked at Kasumi.
“I got this…” she said. Hayabusa nodded and ran towards the wagon and the horses there.
