Jessica: Well, it's official. I'm restarting this story. Why? Because over the course of the year, I had forgotten about my story. Well, a while ago I was cleaning out my computer and deleting old stories when I came across this and blushed with embarrassment when I realized how long it was and how angry some people probably were. Well, I decided to re-read my story, maybe write new chapters when I realized…WHAT A FREAKING AMATEAUR I WAS BACK THEN. All the mistakes, I hurried through it, more comedy than action, ugh, I was disgusted with myself. However, because a lot of people actually liked it, I decided to rewrite it into an even better story. So, this is how it is. And as for anyone who is wondering, yes I have my two best friends still, but Jake and I broke up. So, if you have read any of my previous stories, before 12-5-09, this is why the both of us are not lovey dovey as we were before.
Alice: Yeah, it was kind of awkward when they broke up, I swear!!! But kind of a funny awkwardness. Well, he'll still be over here, but realize he is actually busy with his clubs and new girlfriend.
Me: He's a man-whore…
Alice: Jessica!!
Me: Well he is!! And to everyone who is new at my stories, yes, Alice and I are actually typing on the same computer and taking turns saying whatever. And some stuff you may read actually has happened in real life to us (like several pranks, blah, blah), and I am a huge gigantic fan of the Akatsuki (though not a fangirl) and the Bijuu. Now, let's proceed with the story.
Alice: You know that when Jake sees that you called him a man-whore he's going to be mad and will retaliate, right?
Me: I look forward to anyone who challenges me! Now, who will do the dissy?
Alice: Why not Dei? You did have him do the dissy on the original story…-and made him sound like he was a pokemon coming out of a pokeball- -_-'''
Me: Why write down your thoughts when everyone can just read them? And I was high on mountain dew back then! By the way, still addicted like crazy to the stuff.
Alice: Anyway, just get da dude!
Me: Just like old times I'll go and summon him the same way! COME ON OUT-
Deidara: Finish that sentence and I'll blow you up, un! And why the hell are you bothering us NOW, when we haven't seen or heard from you in, like, a year?
Me/Alice: I/She was lazy.
Deidara: -sweat drop- Ok, anyway, Jessi doesn't own Naruto, and trust me readers just now reading this story, Jessica would DESTROY our world and contaminate it with that nasty stuff called Mountain Dew…
Me: Hater…
Torn Destinies ~rewrite~
By: Jessica, co-written by Alice, and sometimes Jake
Started: 12-5-09 (Hey, this is around the same time I started the other story!)
~~Prologue~~
"On a beautiful night, when you could see the stars, and soft clouds would tease you and hide the moon only to allow you to see it once more. This night, this beautiful night, was also the most terrible night to ever appear to this village…This night…Kyuubi happened…"
Chapter One: The Past
You could hear the screams, and the captains shouting orders to protect the village. The smell of fear, death, and blood hung in the air. Panic was weaving itself into every soldier, chaos was wreaking havoc alongside its physical counterpart: The Kyuubi no Kitsune, the strongest of the fearsome Bijuu. And not only was panic covering the battlefield, but inside a certain hospital as well.
"It's ok! He's almost out, you're almost done honey!" encouraged a very worried Minato Namikaze, also known as the Yondaime Hokage of the Leaf. He looked outside and saw the Kyuubi edge a little closer to the village and became even more worried. He winced when his wife squeezed his hand, and gave him the scariest glare he could ever see: the death glare of his wife giving birth. She gave another scream and started shouting once more.
"DAMMIT, MINATO! HOW ABOUT NEXT TIME YOU GET PREGNANT, PUSH OUT TWO BABIES, AND BE TOLD THAT A DEMON FOX IS ATTACKING THE DAMN VILLAGE! THEN YOU CAN KNOW WHAT ITS, LIIIIIIKE!" Kushina Uzumaki screamed, wanting to strangle her husband. She cursed the day they didn't use protection. However, Minato's eyes bulged.
"W-wait a minute! TWO babies! I thought we were only having one!"
"DAMMIT, MINATO, YOU WERE ONLY PAYING ATTENTION WHEN THE DOCTOR SAID A BABY BOY, DIDN'T YOU? YOU DIDN'T HEAR THE BABY GIRL PART!!! OH MY GOD!!!" Minato started freaking out when the baby boy was suddenly out and the doctor gave him to a nearby nurse to wash off the blood and such. However, it didn't look good when the doctor suddenly got a grim expression with the next baby.
"Uzumaki-chan, you need to push hard, because this baby is being born backwards. If we don't hurry up with the process, she will suffocate." Kushina had a worried expression on her face and Minato winced when she squeezed his hand harder as she pushed harder. Finally, ten minutes later, the process was done and the baby girl was out. However, she wasn't breathing, and her tiny heart had stopped beating. When Kushina didn't hear a cry, and saw the doctor with a sorrowful expression she started crying herself.
"Give me my baby, give her to me!" the doctor went to protest but when she saw her expression he granted her wish. However, both him, and the nurse that just walked in with the first baby, witnessed a miracle as she cried a few more tears, only these tears were a calm blue, and the tears dripped onto the face of the baby girl. Kushina held her closer to her heart and muttered a few words, her already draining strength sapping some more. Suddenly, the newborn babe started crying, crying because death had been peaceful and now she was awaking in this new and chaotic world. Kushina smiled as she held her daughter and her husband held their son.
"So, what will be their names, Kushina dear?" asked Minato.
"Mitsukaiko, for she is an angel child, pure and living. May anyone who sees her and know her, see her for who she truly is…a survivor." Kushina replied, as she looked at her daughter, and her baby blue eyes.
"And the boy?"
"Naruto, for he will protect his family, and anyone who dares to anger him will truly meet a maelstrom, and for after your grandfather, a true ninja…" the young woman soon felt the pulls of death gripping at her mind. "My love, make sure they are safe. I can feel death pulling me into its icy waters. Make sure…to tell them in…your letter that I love them…I love you, Naruto, and Mitsukaiko, and I will see you soon on the other…side…Minato…my love…" with that, her body went limp, her eyes closed, and her heart stopped beating. Kushina Uzumaki was no more. Eyes wet with tears, he took his daughter from his wife's dead body and turned to the doctor.
"Please, gather my sensei, Sarutobi, and Kakashi. They need to know of my plan…Also…Naoru-kun, make sure these two are checked up by either you, Sora-chan, or Sarutobi's personal doctor. I would trust no one else." Naoru, the doctor, nodded and disappeared, went to gather the three requested people and returned with them shortly after.
"Sensei, what was so important you had to take us away…" Kakashi cut off when he saw the two babes sleeping in the blonde man's arms. "Are those two your…?" Minato nodded and then proceeded to tell their names and his plan. Of course they rejected, Sarutobi even offered himself to seal the Kyuubi into himself, but Minato would have none of it.
"No, it is my village. My right, my responsibility to protect this village. Just a last minute favor, would you? Make sure the village treats these two as a hero. I know…the villagers will most likely want to kill the two, but please…don't tell them of their parents to get them to accept the two. I have enemies that will want to assassinate the two. I also want the two, if they both decide to become a ninja, to be put on the same team under Kakashi's tutorage. Jiraiya-sama, you are welcome to stay and help teach if you want." Minato offered, a twinkle in their eye but the large man offered a different idea.
"We all know they won't be accepted here, even if their parentage did somehow get out. Why I don't I take them away from the village?"
"I would have no problem with that, except for the fact you lead a dangerous life, Jiraiya. Not to mention I don't want these two to grow up as perverts." He added in a deadpan voice. There was a roar that shook the hospital and Minato hurried up. "When they are deemed worthy, tell them of us and give them this…" giving them a letter they had not seen him write, he smiled sadly. "and also allow them to live in our estate when they turn genin, and give them our scrolls when they are Chunin or when Kakashi deems them worthy. Good luck, my friends." With that, he leapt out of the window and summoned Gamabunta, a large toad that was the boss summon. He ordered him to go forwards and meet Kyuubi head on. Cheers were erupted when they saw their hero, but were confused as to why he was carrying two babies with him. Two shinobi in particular knew their friend and immediately knew what he was about to do. And before anyone could say "ramen" their leader was dead, the Kyuubi gone, and the two babies were screaming at the pain. Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Sarutobi went to collect the newborn Jinchuuriki and tell the village of their leader's, and the two babes' sacrifice. As planned though, no one accepted the fact the two babies were good and demanded their destruction. Both Naruto and Mitsukaiko started crying, feeling all the hate around them. This got some to feel guilty, but not all. Sarutobi sighed, and both of the men behind him were angered.
And this would be how it would be, for the next eight years…
Me: lol, I should put it rated M for the beginning. Some boys can't handle that pregnancy. And little kids who are probably reading this are probably like, O.O….or maybe some are wondering what IS protection… XD
Alice: THOSE POOR KIDS! O.O Hey…this is kinda like that movie we had to watch in Health class…except a few changes.
Me: I DON'T OWN THAT VIDEO EITHER!!!
Alice: didn't Jake and a few others, not just boys, faint during that movie and/or puked?
Me: Yep…I don't ever wanna have kids…
Alice: Yeah, if they're trying to discourage us from having kids…Society won…Ugh, that was a gross video…SHOULD THEY EVEN ALLOW MOVIES LIKE THAT IN SCHOOL?
Me: Well, our Health class teacher is a demented, psychotic, BITCH. HEY! She's kinda like Anko now that I think about it!! Anko is awesome!
Alice; But our heath teach isn't?
Me:…Well, she's awesome too, except she forces us to watch those videos…Ewwww, in the movie, the baby actually died and most of the girls cried and the guys cheered that the movie was finally over.
Alice: Anyway, we have to wrap it up. Reviews gladly accepted…
Me: Flames are not. I will have Kisame put them out with Suiton jutsus!!! Grrrr!
