"Her? She's hinata. A girl from one of the outside villages... She was supposed to act as my escort from one of the ninja villages. But honestly, who would send s uch a precious little thing as her out into the cold cruel world without protection? It's almost a crime. So I decided to bring her home and adopt her.

How have things been here? I'v been gone so long getting crafts from other villages... It's good to be home."

" good good old man Yama died last week so his so is the chife now. And I finaly made Top fighter. How where this with you?" Gia asked


Hinata was scared of the huge man and hid her self under a planket.

"Oh. I'm so sorry to hear... I'll have to give him my condolences. My trip was fine, I managed to avoid being attacked or raided the entire time, so I guess it was a lucky trip." She said, nodding, as she reached her hand over to softly tickle Hinatas legs through the blanket.

Hinata kicked and giggled wildley. " she cute so why did you chosse her as your child?" Gia asked

"Why? Why not? Like I said, they were foolish enough to send her out on her own to 'protect' me... Obviously she needs better care and attention."

" You forget I was a Fighter when i was 8 years old." Gia said

Hinata looked at Amanda " upy." Hinata said holding her arms up.

"But you were much larger and stronger than she is when you were 8. This poor dear is scarcely taller than a baby." Amanda said, before smiling as she slipped her hands under Hinatas arms and raised her up.

She held her close to her chest, one hand idly patting her bottom. "Honestly, it always amazes me how small the rest of the world is. Its a wonder they survive on their own at all."

Hinata huggd Ananda sucking her paci.

" Hmmm ya your right but don't forget there are some of them that can best even us in Battle." Gia said

"If they're trained and we're not. Our shinobi are just as powerful as theirs, thats no arguement.

It's been a real pleasure, but I think I should get my little one home and down for a nap, as well as get all my goods cataloged and get the papers filled out to have her properly accepted into the village." Amanda said with a smile, as she hugged Hinata and lowered her gently back into the cart so she could continue back down and into the massive village.

" Mommy who was that?" Hinata asked shivering.
