Hey people! This is my first Naruto fanfic so be nice. It's no big deal, just wanted to put it up. I feel bad because Naruto is always emo and beat up and whatnot. He always seems to get the short end of the stick and the fact that I hate Sasuke. So I wrote one on a more happier note…I guess. My OC is Kira. She's half human/half magician from another dimension. It may seem like it'll be a Naru/OC, but it won't I assure you. She's a feel-good character to encourage Naruto.

With You Forever

Naruto, Sakura, Sai, Yamato and Kakashi were coming back from yet another failed attempt to bring Sasuke back. Naruto was frustrated and mad at Sakura. 'She blew our chance. Why does she always let her emotions interfere?!' She could tell Naruto was frustrated, she was too. 'I blew another chance…why do I always do this? I just can't help these feelings I have for Sasuke-kun.' It was a silent way home. The tension was suffocating the other three. Sai was disappointed because he couldn't help Naruto. Yamato and Kakashi were frustrated because they were so stubborn.

Naruto let out a sigh. It was a passing thought, but it surprised him. 'I wish Kira was here. She always makes me feel better or at least tries.' Naruto let out a gasp, but then smiled at the thoughts of his time with Kira flooded his mind. Everyone was surprised to see such a relaxed smile on Naruto after failing to bring Sasuke back. It worried them.

Kira is petite with long black hair. One of her eyes is blue and the other one is whitish blue. It was blinded during one of her battles. She's a little different from normal people. She is born of magician blood. Although she's only half magician, she's still considered pretty strong for a Halfling. Naruto bumped into her during his training with Jiraya during the two and a half years. Even though she didn't know him, she would always try her best to cheer him up when ever he was sad or not feeling well. She always smiled for him and even though he didn't know her, he felt comfortable around her. She was so accepting and nice to him; he didn't need to try as hard to get acceptance; she fully acknowledged him.

What made their relationship deep was the fact that she didn't treat him like a child or a baka, like all his other friends. In fact, he would be calling her baka. She had more energy than he did; he knew she wasn't always like that though. He knew she wasn't someone you should mess with. She was cute and bubbly, but looks were very deceiving. Just to prove his point, she's 170 years old. During his training, she helped him out with reinforcement magic, the basics of control an element that humans are able to use, and demon magic. Jiraya told him that he knew her father who is known to be death, but she thinks he's alive.

Anyways enough about her, back to the scene. Naruto wasn't injured very badly physically, but emotionally he was crushed. 'He replaced me and Sakura.' It was like Sasuke really didn't care. Tsunade was a little worried about the report that the team had given her. 'I beginning to believe that there is no more hope for Uchiha Sasuke. What will you do now Naruto?' Naruto and the gang were getting patch jobs done. They were a little nervous about Naruto's silence. He didn't even try to cover his frustration. Kakashi frowned, he didn't like his student like this. 'He totally crushed his spirit.' Kakashi didn't like what Sasuke did to Naruto.

Tsunade was doing paper work when there was a knock on her door.

"Come in." Tsunade looked up, there was an unfamiliar presence with him.

"Yo Tsunade!" Jiraya was there with a petite Kira, who was smiling happily. Tsunade looked at her with a tilt. Kira gave Tsunade an enthusiastic bow.

"Hajime mashite! Kira desu! Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu Hokage–sama!" Kira smiled happily as if it was her birthday and she was having the time of her life. Tsunade was taken aback by the greeting, but smiled. 'How cute?'

"Ah. Jiraya, what bring you here?"

"I have information and I bumped into Kira, she's the daughter of Atticus. Remember Atticus?" Tsunade's eyes widened. "She came to visit Naruto." Kira got excited.

"Wah! I get to see him! I'm so happy! Thank you Jiraya-san!" He smiled a fatherly smile.

"You're welcome Kira. By the way, how did the mission go?" He turned serious; Kira tried but couldn't, she was a little worried though. 'I wonder if Naruto's okay.'

"They failed, but thankfully no big injuries. It seems Uchiha got a new team." Kira slightly frowned, she didn't like that name very much.

"May I go see him, Hokage-sama?" Kira asked calmly for once. She nodded and guided her to where Naruto was.

He was Kakashi's room with his team. They were visiting to see if their sensei was okay. They were still feeling blue. Then they heard the door knock. Naruto recognized the presence and opened the door, only to be tackled into a hug by the one person he missed.

"NARUTO! I found you! How have you been? Are you okay? Have you been eating properly? Did you get any injuries?..." Everyone was taken aback by this presence. Sakura felt a little tug on her heart seeing Kira clinging to Naruto and seeing Naruto say nothing about it.

"K-k-kira." Kira stopped rambling random questions and looked at him.

"Hmm?" Then she realized. "Oh gomen. I'm pretty heavy aren't I?" She got off and sat indian style next to him as he sat up. She smiled.

"But it's really good seeing you again." He smiled back.

"Ah."

"Okairinasai Naruto!" Kira grinned.

"Tadaima." Everyone looked back and forth. Kakashi giggle and everyone looked at him disturbed.

"Oi Naruto, aren't you going to introduce you friend there?" Kakashi asked with a suspicious smile.

Naruto dusted himself off and help Kira up by lending her a hand. Sakura saw how gentle he was with her and felt a little jealous. Naruto was different, he wasn't hyper or angry anymore; he was just normal.

"This is Kira. She's a friend of mine; we met during my training with Ero-sennin." She gave them an enthusiastic bow.

"Hajime mashite! Kira desu! Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu minna!" Kakashi smiled. 'What a bright girl?' Sai smiled a small smile. 'I guess you can say this is a good way to lighten this dead mood.' Sakura smiled nervously. 'She's so hyper, but cute.' Yamato chuckled. 'What a cute little lady?' Then they saw Naruto bonk her on her head lightly.

"Baka, you don't need to yell. They can hear you with just your whisper." Kira pouted.

"Demo…demo…I want to make a good first impression with your friends." Naruto let out a sigh and smiled.

"You're so weird." Kira's pout turned into a cute frown with puffy cheeks.

"I am not!" She stuck out her tongue. Then she realized where she was and quickly caught herself.

"Oops…sorry everyone for making a ruckus…I'm not weird…really, I'm not!" She started rambling again. Everyone gave her a nervous smile with sweat drops. Naruto rolled his eyes and bonked her on the head to make her shut up. She looked up at him with a smile.

"Thanks." He just nodded with a smile and jaws dropped. They've never seen this side of Naruto before.

"I'll introduce you to my friends. This is Sakura, she's my teammate." Sakura was kind of sad because she was only just a teammate to Naruto, which was a new concept to her, but she still smiled and gave her a small wave.

"Hey Kira-chan." Kira's eye brightened. She looked up at Naruto.

"She called me Kira-chan!" Naruto rolled his eyes, 'Not everybody knows you're 170 years old, Kira.' but smiled. Sakura got worried.

"I'm sorry did I say something wrong?" Kira quickly shook her head and took her hand into hers.

"Thank you so much. You made my day, no one has ever called me Kira-chan before! Ureshi desu (I'm happy)!" Kira giggled. Sakura smiled. 'She certainly a cute little girl.'

"Okay enough Kira geez…calm down. Okay that's Sai. Another teammate."

"Hajimemashite." Kira shook his hand with a smile.

"That's Yamato-taichou."

"Haimemashite Kira-san." She shook his hand too.

"And that's Kakashi-sensei."

"Yo Kira-chan." Kira grinned and shook his hand too.

They got to know each other better and found out a new side of Naruto. Their first impression of Kira was…airhead. She was totally out there and clueless; however Kakashi and Yamato could tell there was more than meets the eye, but didn't say anything.

"So where are you from Kira-chan?" Sakura asked innocently.

"Umm…I guess you can say I'm a wanderer. I just travel here and there, not very stationary teehee!"

"Ah sou…it must be hard." Kira gave her a reassuring tap on her shoulder.

"Don't worry I can defend myself! If not then I'll call out 'Naruto!' and he'll come flying to my rescue, ne?" Naruto snorted.

"Baka, stop saying stupid things." Kira stuck out her tongue and mockingly bowed down at him.

"Hai sumimasen." Kakashi and Yamato couldn't help but to chuckle. 'This will be quite interesting.' Sakura's jealousy didn't go away as she hoped. 'Why do I feel this way?' Then Sai asked.

"So who will you be staying with Kira-san?"

"With Naruto!" They all looked at her.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Sakura asked. Kira nodded.

"Why? What's wrong with that?" She asked innocently.

"Well for starters, Naruto's a pervert." Kira looked at Naruto.

"Masaka…but if he is, don't worry I can take care of myself." She gave them a "Rock Lee" thumbs up, but they still looked nervous. 'I better check on them later today.' Kakashi noted to himself…well he wasn't the only one thinking that.

Naruto walked Kira to his apartment. He told her to take off her shoes. She was calmer when nobody was around with just him. She turned to him with a sweet smile.

"I missed you, Naruto." He looked up at her and smiled.

"Ah." They didn't know, but Kakashi, Yamato, Sakura and Sai were spying on them from a far.

"I'm sorry if I caused you too much trouble."

"Don't worry about it. They seem to like you." Kira slightly frowned.

"I heard about your mission today. It didn't go so well?" Naruto nodded his smile faded.

"He rounded up a new team. His expression was so empty." Kira gave him a smile. He looked at her annoyed.

"Oi, could you, at least, look sad or sympathetic?" he grumbled.

"But I'm so happy."

"Why?"

"Because you're opening up to me. You're sharing your fears and hopes and experiences with me. I'm really happy! Even though you don't know me very well, you're willing to share the deepest part of you with me. You're acknowledging me and my presence, as someone you can trust; to me that's very precious." Naruto's eyes widened and he let out a smile chuckle.

"Bakayaroga." 'Why is it that you always say the things I want to hear?' "De, how have you been? Get into any trouble?"

"Nothing big, just same old same old. My family's weird." She let out a heart-full laugh.

"Again? Why do they want you so badly?"

"Oh, they just want me gone, but no worries. I'm good at running away." Kira gave him a victory sign and giggled. Naruto let out a sigh.

"Can't believe you're an even bigger baka than me." Kira stuck out her tongue. Then Naruto became serious again.

"How's your heart?"

"It's gone." Naruto's eyes widened with anger and punched the ground.

"You let him take it!?" Kira just continued to smile.

"No he overpowered me, like always. I just need to get stronger until I'm able to get my heart back." Naruto let out, yet another sigh of frustration. Kira had also lost her heart to the same person that had blinded her. She reminded Naruto of Gaara, they were both lonely people, and bad things always happened to them. He hated that.

Kakashi and the gang were confused and worried. They looked at each other a bit relieved that they didn't have to worry about anything happening but felt that the two might be in danger. They continued to listen. 'I better ask about the Kira character to Hokage-sama.' Kakashi thought. He had grown attach to his student. He enjoyed his time with him; he reminded Kakashi of Obito. And his progress growing faster and faster. He just wished it was because of more positive occurrences. He continued to listen.

"Hey you sneaky little weasel, you changed the subject!"

"Technically I'm a fox baka; if you're going to insult me, do it right." Kira patted his head and smiled.

"That's right, you're a fox. I forgot. Anyways how is your…friend?" Naruto could hear the awkwardness. He knew she didn't like Sasuke much for what he did to him. He chuckled.

"Don't hate him too much baka. He's just being stupid at the moment; I just hope he doesn't stay stupid." Kira pouted.

"But still, he hurt you so much. I don't like to see my favorite person hurt."

Sakura tensed, while everyone was a little surprised. No one had ever really said those kind of things to Naruto.

"Do you think Kira-san likes Naruto-kun?" Sai asked innocently.

"Maybe." Yamato shrugged. Kakashi giggled.

"This is better than Icha Icha Tactics." They all frowned at him and rolled their eyes. Naruto went on.

"Stop saying stupid things, baka." And he bonked her lightly on the head again. Kira stuck out her tongue and bowed down.

"Gomen nasai." Kira giggled as Naruto smirked. Tears were falling from Kakashi's eyes. 'So cute.' They all looked a little worried.

"Kakashi-sensei?"

"Senpai?"

"Oh the drama, Kira-chan is trying to coax Naruto! This is just like Icha Icha Tactic. When Kyoya isn't too sure about his feelings, but Izumi's presence just tug at his heart, but he's already engaged with the supposed love of his life, Kikyo." Sweat drops.

"I don't get it." Sai commented.

"Leave senpai to his imaginations guys." Yamato shook his head.

Back to Kira and Naruto.

She walked over to Naruto and wrapped her arms around his head and gave him a sisterly hug. Naruto blushed slightly. Everyone gasped at Kira's bold move. Then they heard Kakashi say, "Subarashi.(brilliant.)" Sweat drops all around.

"I know it seems hopeless, when you look into his eyes, but you know, through my travels I've learned something."

"What's that?"

"There's more than one way home." Naruto's eyes widened as Kira pulled back and faced him face to face and smiled sweetly.

"Even though your…ehhm…friend…chose a different path to take on his journey of life, ultimately both of your destinations are the same. Even if that path seems wrong to you, have faith that he knows that too and that he'll return home again." Naruto let out a small chuckle.

"Don't lose faith, huh?" He looked at her for a moment and pulled her into a hug. Kira gasped.

"Why is it that you always say the thing I want to hear? Why…?" Kira just smiled.

Everyone was shocked! OMG! Kakashi couldn't contain himself. 'Yes Naruto! Be the man!' Sakura's fist was trembling slightly, but her breathing was steadying. Everyone noticed her but didn't say anything. Naruto like the warmth from Kira, but he let go.

"So, why are you here? You're not in the position to just pop up for a visit." He smiled his usual smile

"Oh you're so smart. I'm actually here to teach you more new tricks and help you out with your little friend inside you. I heard you were having problems controlling that power and the fact that I missed you a lot. I bumped into Jiraya along my way and he let me come with him."

"Ero-sennin?"

"Yeah, he's probably here because he has new information on Akatsuki."

"Akatsuki? How troublesome." Kira saw his frustrated face and decided to cheer him up.

"Hey I got a new recipe for you! Come on, let's make it together. I'm hungry." Naruto's eye brightened. He never really liked being in the kitchen, but cooking with Kira was something he always enjoyed. She didn't like his eating habit of only ramen and force it upon him; he gradually got use to eating healthier. Then they got cracking.

They talked about random stuff; it was basically Kira rambling about her adventures and Naruto quietly listening. The spying group had never seen this part of Naruto before and quite frankly they were jealous because Kira, a virtual unknown, had cracked Naruto's shell and she'd only known him for two years and a half. Each of them were eagered to interrogate Kira; one by one they thought of ways to get her away from Naruto. For now they continued to spy, but they had to admit, Kira had one of the most exciting lives they have ever heard.

"And then…" KNOCK KNOCK. Naruto was busy with the rice so Kira decided to get it. She opened the door and saw three new faces. It was Lee, Neji and Tenten. They were certainly surprised to see her. She bowed enthusiastically.

"Konbanwa Kira desu! Yoroshiku! Are you all Naruto's friends too?" Lee was happy to see such a happy person. 'What a youthful person?!'

"Yes. I'm Rock Lee."

"Hyuuga Neji."

"I'm Tenten. Nice to meet ya." Kira shook their hand one by one.

"You guys are just in time. We finished a new dish, would you all like to join us?"

"Eh?! Naruto cooks!?" Naruto came out of the kitchen and saw them.

"Hey guys, what's up?" They were certainly surprised at how calm and relaxed Naruto was.

"Naruto-kun, who is your new youthful friend?" Lee asked.

"I'm his fiancé!" The spying group fell from the tree they were spying from.

"EEHHHH?!!?!?!?!?"
