This first chapter is dedicated to my good friend Ellen. She has encouraged me to write this and thinks its going to be great. Ayame is based on her because I wanted to give something back to her for being there for me.

I do not own naruto or any of the characters tied with it. I do however own the rest of the characters. xD

The last time I had felt like this was when my parents had said that I was to become a ninja. I had déjà vu. Walking down the street, my head band tied around my neck, I felt a soft breeze shift against my skin. A loud giggle came from next to me. Looking towards my team mate, Ayame, she started to giggle more.

'What?' I ask her, irritated by her laugh.

'You look so serious. It's as if someone has died!' she said composing herself.

It could be true; someone could have lost their life. But I didn't want to argue with her today.

Kasumi appears on my left and I see that she too thinks completely differently to me. Her smile was broad and clear, her hair tied up in a bun on her head, her eyes twinkling brightly.

'So is it true then?' she asks as if my scowl wasn't even there.

'What's true?' Ayame responds.

'That we are going to be relocated to a faraway village called konoha?' Kasumi asks, her dark green eyes brightening.

I sigh and look at her. 'There is a possibility that we could be relocated, but that would surprise me. Our town needs us to be here. Especially recently. We all know that the town was collapsing under the pressure of having too many ninja around, and people have been moved. But in my opinion, I don't really mind.

Suddenly, a hand came up to cover my eyes and I squirmed away from the grip. 'Daichi, get away from me. Or I'll tell mother that you didn't finish your chores.' I say dangerously.

'Wow. What's up with you Emi?' Daichi responds light heartedly. I just glare at him and continue to walk on, striding ahead of him. Kasumi begins to tell him what happened.

'I don't get it. They wouldn't move us would they? Not without permission from our parents?' he says after she finally finishes.

'Calm down everyone.' Says a voice from behind us all.

'Sorry isamu sensei. But it's hard to get over. Are we really leaving our town behind to relocate to another town far from here?' I ask quietly.

'We'll just have to find out Emi. Let us head towards the hokage's office and see what he has to say, then we shall decide what we think of the situation.' He says in his deep, courageous voice.

We all walk into the hokage's office and stand infront of the high desk at which he sat. He looks up at us, his aging eyes seeing wisdom and truth in everything.

'Now, I understand that you have heard of the relocations. And it is true, you will be relocated. But unlike the other teams I sent away, yours is the most important. You may be relocated there permanently, depending on how our town copes without you. The town that you will be going to has been a large help to us and we owe them quite a lot. This was the only thing they asked of us; that you are sent to them. Unlike our town, there town has had a fall in the amount of teenagers passing the exams that make them ninja.' He says, without pausing to see our reaction. 'You will leave tonight' he adds and then orders for us to leave.

I was shocked. My whole life, I had been stuck in this town. This town and the area around it, was all I had ever known. The others seemed just as shocked as me, but soon they were eager. They wanted to get better, they wanted to learn. And so did I. I wasn't going to be a grumpy teenager over this; I was going to use this experience to help me become a better person.

A new place? With new rules? Without being known by anyone? This was going to be one adventure!
