Plot

A story about a girl with long wavy crimson hair, Celeste who had lost her parents at a very young age not having memories of her parents but to only remember the love they had given her. Celeste then came across meeting a boy of the Uchiha clan who too had lost both parents as she did and eventually became close friends. What will life hold for them? And Challenges they face...

The Beginning

Sasuke had thought this girl is like every other girls he had come across who would stare at him, follow him around with admiration and fantasize they would one day be married to him. Though he was proven wrong when this girl did not act like everyone else when they see him. He had lost his family by his own brother who had killed him while he was away to only come back to his parents lying dead on the floors of their home with his brother just standing amongst their body, sword in hand. As for Celeste, she understands how its like to lose parents as Sasuke did but the only difference is, she did have someone else who took her in as her own when she was but a baby. A woman who had known her parents before they were killed in the time of war when the Ninetail was released, as her parents were part of the Senju Clan just like the woman who is now her mum to protect the clans but a promise she has kept with Celeste's parents if there is anything to happen to them they would want their trusted friend to look after her as a parent.

Because of her not having to be like any of the other girls, being around Celeste wasn't all that bad, he can deal with her being around him even becoming friends when both her and her friends from the Senju Clan had saved him from a situation he had always been having problems with. They soon grew a close friendship the more the four spend time together especially attending the same Ninja Academy. They would practice together by being each other's sparring partners at their spot.

When the girls and the other students in the Academy tend to see the group hanging with Sasuke they felt the sense of jealousy, especially the girls when they see Celeste hanging with Sasuke. There had been times when Sasuke would be picked on for the fact that the boys that aren't chick magnet as Sasuke has been. But the three kids who was once strangers and now close friends who will always back him up. Which is why he doesn't tend to feel like he's not alone but of course he wouldn't ever dare to show it to anyone.

When Naruto had come into the picture where he would despise Sasuke because of his popularity as well how he seem to show how great he is which leaves poor Naruto into embarrassment. It was sad really and the fact that everyone would tease him or stays away from him because he was a strange kid that would cause so much mischieves for everyone else and a trouble maker. No one really understood why or how he ended up like that..other than having no one but himself, maybe because he doesn't have parents like both Sasuke and Celeste but unlike Sasuke he remembers and known of his parents while both Celeste and Naruto never did. Even though Sasuke himself thinks he's just a nuisance but for Celeste he can see how hard he tries to prove himself to everyone and he is not a nobody, is something that he admires. She may not know a lot about their pain being completely alone but it doesn't mean they have to be forever and that is something she believes in, where no one is alone completely because even if she hadn't known her parents other than the stories her adopted mother told her, they are always in her heart as much as she wish they were still alive to feel their warm touches.

One night while Naruto had been left alone to practice, trying to become stronger to prove to everyone how he can be just as good as Sasuke is. Celeste would watch him in the distance to observe him. Watching him until he lost all his energy to keep going even though seeing him still try and try again. It worried Celeste, at first she wanted to go up to him to give him some encouragement and a bottle of water so he doesn't dehydrate but that maybe would have shock the boy not only because it would be someone for the first time having to come up to him or even watched him practice but also the person she hands with whom he is rival with. The thought lingered in the young crimson haired girl paused herself from taking a step forward. She was about to leave Naruto to continue his hard work when she noticed a girl in the distance, if she recalls the navy blue bob cut short hair girl is from the Hyuga clan who too has been watching Naruto train on his own. She could tell just by observing the young Hyuga that she admires the boy deeply maybe even idolizes him. From what she could remember the girl is very shy amongst the other kids but she tries to join with all the other kids.

Celeste turned her attention to look back at Naruto seeing the boy on the ground dehydrated from constant use of his chakura with no break. Celeste closed her eyes giving a small sigh as she pulled out a bottle of water from her bag and approached the Uzumaki boy. It would have probably shocked the Hyuga girl to realize she was around and is going up to Naruto but silently like a mouse at every step she takes towards him until she crouched down besides him and placed the bottle of water against his forehead which surprised the blonde boy causing him to sit straight up from where he laid and turned to face Celeste.

"Wh-What are you…" Celeste heard Naruto knowing what he's trying to say so she lifted the bottle of water while she rests her chin against the palm of hand leaning against her knee. Watching Naruto wrap his mind around what is happening, looking to her then to the bottle, back to her then back to the bottle before he reached out and grabbed the bottle in hand, pulling the bottle towards himself. He stares at the bottle of water with unsureness in his face "Why...why are you doing this for me..?" he asked in disbelief.

Celeste smiles some before closing her eyes and stood up, looking down towards him while he stares up at her but then looked away, avoiding eye contact.

"Never give up..Naruto" is what she had said and then left him to continue training once he had gotten fluid in his system to continue. It caused Naruto feel like he can do anything no matter what others may think but those words would play in his mind when his at a breaking point, it was like a boost of endurance.

After leaving Naruto to his training Celeste made her way through the forest again, turned her attention to the young Hyuga girl which caused her to jump and feel awkward not knowing what she do or feeling embarrassed. Celeste just gave the girl a nod in greeting and then left the forest to return home as her mother would probably be worried about her. As Celeste approached home when she noticed someone in the distance at her home waiting for someone. As she got closer, she sensed the familiar chakura signature coming from this young person.

"Sasuke" she said as she got closer towards him. She sees him turn his attention towards her with a curious yet serious look on his face before he had asked her a question.

"Where had you been..? Everyone was wondering if you were coming to the hangout spot" Celeste stared at him as he asked the question but she gave a small smile as she scratched her cheek with a light short giggle which caused Sasuke to raise an eyebrow towards her wondering what was funny to her. Sasuke felt clueless which is a bit annoying that he doesn't know about something but what does he know about girls except for them having to be loud and annoying "Girls…" Sasuke mumbled to himself as he turned around and started walking off. Celeste blinked a couple of times noticing he was walking away. "Are you coming? I will walk you home…" he said. Celeste heard what he said wondering why is Sasuke walking her home. What she did not know is behind his pride he feels embarrassed. He himself does not have a clue as to why he would offer to walk her home when she's capable of walking herself home. Celeste held a big smile on her face and rushed over to his side.

"Thank you Sasuke-kun" Celeste thanked him as they walked together to her household.
