Hello all, I'm not sure when I'm going to get around to my Dragonball Z story again. I've recently been doing a few writing courses to help myself focus on one particular story. Because let me tell you I have about a dozen floating through my mind. I can't concentrate on completing them one at a time because they all fight to come out. There has yet to be a winner BUT! Never fear! This one has been nagging the most, though it is a relatively new idea.
Hope you all enjoy my first chapter!
Disclaimer I Do NOT Own Naruto or Sky High. Azami is mine though.
WARNING This story contains Yaoi (MaleXMale), Course Language, MAYBE Yuri (FemaleXFemale) and Sexual Themes
Rain was soaking her long brown hair, deforming the curls as the storm whipped them around. It was raining was all she could get through her head, how fitting. Standing there she was being buffeted by the wind, watching as her house along with her parents burn before her.
No sound escaped chapped lips, frozen from shock. Her dad was meant to be indestructible, the great Warren 'Hothead' Peace, best friend of the renowned Will Stronghold. But, standing there with everything she'd known and held dear shattering before her eyes she couldn't help but to think.
What else have I been told that held no substance? What other untruths did I gladly let others pull over my eyes? My parents are burning inside the house I grew up in, they were dieing, and all I can do is stand here, watching.
It was then that everything seemed to still for but a moment, before suddenly exploding outward.
I wasn't sure if I was lucky or not to of been caught in the combustion. All I could think of was the last time I saw my parents, it was only a few minutes ago. They were having a fairly large argument, of what I can no longer be sure before ordering me to leave the house.
I always said that one day dad would spontaneously combust. I never actually expected it to happen...
She awoke, curled around a newborn babe with downy blond hair and the most beautiful azure eyes. Wondering how the child was so large she reached a hand to stroke the three whisker marks upon its cheeks.
Gasping in shock she found that, no, the little one was not mammoth sized but instead, she herself had seemingly decreased in years. Having used to be a tall seventeen year old, she found she was now approximately ninety centimeters. That means I am around four again she sighed.
Taking a closer look at the babe in her arms she noticed the blanket had come loose. Going to tighten it, lest the poor thing get sick, she found a tattoo imprinted upon its abdomen. Eyes widened and breath shortened as she realized where she was. Holding the boy against herself she slowly rocked him to sleep.
She remembered suddenly how she was brought here, how the heat of the flames had engulfed her flesh. Crystalline tears leaked down her lightly tanned face, mourning the loss of her beloved parents.
Not even an hour could of passed since she had started crying. Little Naruto had been good, sleeping through her fits of silent heart wrenching sobs. She knew where she was now, how could she not? Only one babe had a sun inscribed about his belly-button.
And only one babe had blue eyes, blond hair and whiskers scarred upon his face. She had somehow, between loosing all that was precious to her and being incinerated by her dad's implosion found herself in one of her, many, favorite animes.
Naruto.
Drying her golden brown eyes from the tears magnifying them she was startled by the appearance of, who appeared to be, The Third Hokage. Time seemed to still as her thoughts turned chaotic. She could only think at that moment was, that she was being given another chance at life.That someone was merciful enough to allow her to be 'reincarnated' per se in a world she was familiar with.
To be frank, she was glad to not of stayed 'dead' she confided in herself. She could in a way start fresh, and maybe cause worldwide mayhem. At the least distort the Naruto-verse time-line. Change a few things here and there. Her parents death would take time to get over but she felt as though there was something for her here.
Something waiting, just beyond her reach, but she was willing to wait. She was a seventeen year old girl in a four year old body that knew the future of this land afterall. Well a general idea of the future after her meddling anyway.
Dragging her mind back to the present she watched as the Sandaime took slow and measured steps towards herself and Naruto. She held the little one tighter to her chest, noticing that he was starting to fret.
"What is your name little one?" an old, slightly wheezy voice asked. Directing her attention back to the newly reinstated Hokage, she pondered a moment.
To fit with her new life, a new name would be best. After all, everyone here is Japanese, and knowing it as her second language she was definitely blessed.
"Azami" she finally said. It had always been a favorite name of hers, meaning 'Thistled Flower'.
In her opinion loosely translated as 'Beautiful but Deadly'. "Where are your parents?" Ahh, how can I explain this one? She thought. Deciding to go with the truth, well a cryptic version anyway she whimpered "They burned in the rain."
Since she was somehow, chibified Azami intended to atleast try to act her physical age.
"Would you like to come with me Azami? Naruto too" Sarutobi smiled. She swore that if she didn't know how inherently good he was, she would of thought him a pedophile. "I have a place you can stay, there are alot of other kids there that have also lost their mummies and daddies too."
To go to an old decrepit orphanage filled with mean caretakers or not?
Hang on, what about Naruto? She voiced her concern aloud.
"Of course he will be going with you, his mummy and daddy have gone away for awhile aswell." Tears started to prick her eyes as images of her house burning fluttered across her vision. Taking deep breathes Azami calmed herself.
She couldn't break down yet.
Hidden in the tree's where the Sandaime was questioning the child, Kakashi sat staring at the peaceful baby in the girl's - Azami's arms. He had arrived shortly after the Kyuubi was sealed in-time to see the then unconcious little girl curl around the screaming babe.
About to jump down to remove the wailing bundle, he froze, shocked when it calmed almost immediately in her arms.
Standing up and walking over to the Hokage Azami doubted her legs would hold her much longer. It seemed that her capabilities mimicked her physical age unfortunately. "Okay" she said woozily, starting as a man she didn't notice was there lifted her up.
Azami held fast to Naruto not allowing them to take him from her. She had decided to raise him, and no-one and she meant no-one was going to stop her. She barely stayed awake as Hatake Kakashi, she found the unknown man to be carried them all the way to the orphanage.
As she was laid down on the tiny, lumpy bed in a small musty room Azami curled back around Naruto and let herself drift off to sleep.
The sun streamed through the window, laying its warm tendrils upon the beds occupants. Of course at that particular moment the eldest, though not by much was awoken by Naruto, who needed a nappy change. If the smell emanating from the diaper was any indication.
Sitting up she noticed that at the foot of the child sized bed there was a table with a teddy printed bag underneath. Azami crawled off the mattress and, while making shushing noises peered inside the bag. It was her lucky day it seemed. The bag was filled with the necessities she needed to care for Naruto.
Spreading out the changing mat she picked up Naruto, who was still fussing and laid him on the table. Gathering a few supplies she carefully pealed back the tape holding the nappy together and blanched. "What on earth was your mother eating?" she exclaimed, hurriedly removing the diaper.
Tossing it in the bin she cleaned and then powdered his bottom to help stay rash free, before applying a new nappy. Azami grinned cheerfully now that Naruto was no longer crying and picked up the baby bottle from the bag.
Azami had a feeling that the caretakers would not be happy to supply her with anything other than what she currently had to care for the 'Demon Child'. "Che, stupid, ignorant people."
She didn't think she had ever been more glad to have powers. That her dad controlled fire and her mum ice. When she was younger attending Sky High, a school for Super Heroes she had found that she could control, not only the same elements as her parents, but also water.
Then again, fire plus ice does equal water.
The smile on her face suddenly faded. What if she no longer had her powers here? Deciding to check she called upon a fireball. "Awesome, it worked" she cackled. Distinguishing the flames she banished the memories of her parents death to the back of her mind. Azami couldn't deal with that right now. Not when Naruto needed her.
Opening the baby bottle she conjured water, filling it, before mixing in the right amount of formula. Azami closed the lid and pinched the nipple shut giving it a few good shakes before heating her hand around the bottle. Stopping before it became hot she dribbled a little onto the back of her hand.
Satisfied with the temperature Azami picked up Naruto, and, after situating him in her arms carefully, placed the teat to his mouth. Peacefully Azami watched as his little mouth suckled greedily for more milk. She sat herself down carefully upon the bed resting against the wall as she peered thoughtfully out the window.
If the Kyuubi was sealed yesterday that made today October 11th. Almost 9 months since Gaara was born she speculated. Gaara...Naruto...Gaara..Naruto. Gaara and Naruto? Ooo, her yaoi senses were tingling, Azami cackled mentally.
Okay then, how was it? Interesting? Totally Dead Boring?
Reviews of all kinds INCLUDING criticism are most welcome. Both help me to grow as a writer and are much appreciated.
Now then! Getting off the mushy subject its time for
DUN DUN DUN!!
PAIRINGS!
The only pairings in concrete are (In order of Seme X Uke)
Gaara X Naruto
Kakashi X Iruka
I am leaving it upto you, my Readers to decide the other pairings. You will be able to vote for different pairings once per chapter, so yes you can repeatedly vote for the same person each chapter if you so choose. But that means you can also vote for more then one pairing per chapter, as long as a character isn't used more then once.
Yaoi and Yuri pairings are welcome. As are Male X Female pairings. (Is there a word in Japanese for it?)
You can also vote for Incest.
ALL Characters are available to take consideration including Akatsuki members and other Missing-nins for pairings. Orochimaru however is NOT up for dibs except for being paired with Kabuto because in my opinion they are too ...unique... to be paired with anyone else. (No offense Orochimaru and Kabuto lovers)
Dear Readers, you are also able to vote whether or not Itachi slaughters his clan and whether or not if Itachi does kill them Sasuke runs off to Oro-pedo.
OR If you like, you can vote for Itachi to kill his clan but stay a Konoha shinobi and Sasuke NOT hate him. Anything you want really. Including Uchihacest, like stated above. If you go with this one, please give idea's on how Itachi kills his clan without being labeled a missing-nin. It would be helpful :)
Sayoonara minna-san!
Doozo yorashiku.
