In a hospital sat a older women. Her name is Ami she just like the children she takes care of was a orphan. When she grew older Ami had decided she would help others like her, children that didn't have parents either by choice or circumstance.
Two years ago Ami had received a peculiar child in her care. Little Shiko had been the most silent child she had ever raised in her 20 years of experience. Not only that but Shiko would always look around and Ami could have sworn listened in on conversations. So in all little Shiko was a special child.
'Why did this happen' Ami thought as she sat next to Shiko holder her hand. ' the doctors said that Shiko had used chakra to fight and in the end used to much almost killing her' coming out of her thoughts Ami turned toward the door as it slowly opens. "Hokage-sama!!" Ami stood up to great the man that had walked in the room.
"Good afternoon miss Ami mind if I sit down we have much to discuss about last night's events" the hokage smiled at the caregiver. "Of couse Please come and have a seat hokage-sama" Ami moved a chair over so they could be face to face. "Do you know happened last night" Ami was asked after a small moment of silence "i dont know much hokage-sama, all i know was Shiko-cham was late getting home last night and when news came about her being in the hospital I came straight away. Could you please tell me what had happened" Ami answered pleading to be told of what had happened to her ward.
Leaning forward the hokage began the retelling of the events that they had found out. "From what we have found Shiko was attacked by four people. the first two that were the main aggressor in the confrontation theres names were Mika Namasu and Yurmi Machi, They both had just started in the academy" the hokage said with shame in his face. "Wait! They were academy students why would they attack Shiko-chan" interrupted Ami with anger in her eyes.
"That's were the other two kids come into the picture, Akio Nanasu and Eiji Machi both the youger Brothers of Mika and Yurmi. Moving on somthing you must know Miss Ami is that all four were killed last night." Ami's eyes widening at the words "but how it couldn't have been Shiko-chan shes to small, shes a child how would she be able to do such a thing." Staring at the young girl both adults contamplated her question.
"I dont know the full truth of what happened but I would like to find out. When she wakes up we'll have another talk including her as well." The hokage said Leaning back into his seat "of course theres one last thing i wish to speak to you about before I must leave miss Ami." Refocusing on the man infront of her Ami gathered herself, there would be time to sort out her thoughts when she's alone.
"Shiko has shown ability far beyond her years and her current chakra pool is about what a mid sized genins should be, what im trying to tell you is that as her legal gardian could i have permission of enroll Shiko in the academy early." The hokage asked looking Ami in the eyes with sincerity. "Isn't she really young to be going to the academy hokage-sama" Ami asked back with growing concern.
"Yes she is but I have a plan when she's able to graduate from the academy I will put her with a mentor rather then a team so we can watch her progress. Shiko has to much talent to waste and i believe she could become a amazing shinobi in the future but im getting ahead of myself we will ask her when she wakes up if she'd like to go to the academy how does that sound." Finished the hokage getting up from his seat. "Of couse hokage-sama lets wait for Shiko-chan to wake up before we decide anything." Ami stood up and bowed as the man started to leave.
Reaching the door way the hokages white coat swayed slightly as he turned around to impart a few more things on the caregiver. "One last thing Miss Ami what she has done might get out and if people find out she should be ready for the way people might end up treating her." With a final sad look at the girl, the yellow haired man left the room with a click of the door. 'Oh shiko what have we gotten into here' Ami thought while running her hands through the girls soft black hair.
