Hey Guys! This is my first fic, so sorry if it's not good in the first and second chapter or so.
Synopsis: When patrolling with his team-mates, Naruto meets his child hood friend. Where's she been all these years? Why hadn't she come back? What happened after the 'incident?'...
Disclaimor: I don't think Masashi Kishimoto would be on But I don't own Naruto
Aiku is one of my OC's! Her profile is in my profile.
A Day Like No Other
She jumped from tree to tree, not noticing how fast she was going. "Where the hell am I?" she screamed in her mind. Recently, she had woken up under a tree and she had a large head wound in the back of her head. It was still bleeding like crazy. "Come on Aiku! Think, think!"she mumbled. Aiku looked at the trees. "What a beautiful green..." she thought. "These look like...Konohagakure trees.." her eyes widened. "Konoha!" she yelped in excitement and shock. She bit her lip as she remembered what had happened last time she was in Konoha. She was only three at the time...
"HAHA! Stupid Naruto loser. We don't wanna be your friend. Who would want to be friends with a LOSER like him?" a taller six year old boy pointed at the teary-eyed Naruto.
"I-I just wanted a friend.." he choked on his words as tears streamed down his eyes.
Aiku pouted. Everyday she saw this Naruto kid get picked on, and he didn't stick up for himself. He was five for godsake! Aiku furrowed her eyebrows as she say the taller boy about to land a punch on the smaller boys fore-head. He'd gone to far.
"Touch him and i'll kill you." She said in a dark voice. The taller boy blinked. Was this three or four year old challenging him?
"What're you gonna do about it kid?" He turned to her fully and started to walk towards her.
"Didn't I just say it? I'll kill you if you touch him." she said with a glare.
"How's a loser like you even going to hurt me?" he snickered. He raised his fist and sent it barreling towards her fore-head. When the taller boy didn't hit anything, he opened his eyes. The girl had caught it.
"What the--" she cut him of by kicking him in his knee-cap. She stuck out her tongue and walked towards Naruto.
"Are you ok?" she held out a hand to help him up. He took it skeptically.
"..Are you trying to make fun of me..?" he blinked.
"No,no. I want to be friends!" She waved her hands in-front of herself to show it was a mistake.
"..really?" he asked. "Why me?" he blinked in confusion.
"Why not you?" She smiled widely. He smiled a foxy grin back at her.
"I'm Naruto, what's your name?" he asked.
"I'm Aiku. But I don't like my name. Do ya think you can make a nickname for me?" she smiled.
"Sure! How about...um...Rara-chan?" he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"What does the Rara stand for?" she asked in confusion.
"Ramen!" He smiled his trademark fox smile. She flicked him in the head playfully.
"Think of a better one!" She stuck her tongue out.
"Ok,ok. What about...Susu-chan?" he shrugged.
" What's the Susu stand for?" Aiku bet it was the beginning of some food he loved. She giggled.
"Suna! For Sand..or something." He laughed. "So do you like it?" he asked anciously .
"Well it does have a nice ring to it.." She wanted to put him in suspense as she scratched her chin." I love it!" She giggled and hugged him.
"Come on Naru-chan, let's go play!" She dragged him off to go play.
After that day they would never leave each others side. They'd sleep next to each other. The orphange wasn't a nice place, and that's why they had to stick together. It would keep either of them from going insane. They didn't care about age difference. The both of them were actually very smart for their age. Even though they weren't ninjas yet, they had already made up a jounin level jutsu. This jutsu took a lot of chakra, and it was a very complicated one. It's called "Mind communication no jutsu". For this jutsu there was two stages. The first stage was talking to your 'partner' in your mind. The second stage was that you could read your 'partners' mind. They hadn't mastered the second stage, but were getting close.
It had been about a year since Aiku and Naruto had met. One day Iruka decided to take Naruto out for ramen, and said he needed to talk to Naruto alone. Aiku understood Naruto needed some alone time without her. She decided to take a walk while she waited for Naruto. The orphange didn't care, they were glad that the two demon kids were out of their presence. She walked a bit too far and found herself at the gates of Konoha, with two sleeping guards. Aiku looked towards the sun. It was setting and had cast a veil of orange over the large sky.
"Good evening." Someone said behind her. Aiku blinked.
"um..good evening to you..too..uh..sir." she stumbled over her words and turned around.It was some weird stranger, who looked like a regular civilian. He had a crazed look on his face, like a 'physco killer' look. He smiled maniacally, and help up a kunai.
"E-excuse me sir...w-what are y-you doing?" She asked, biting her lip to keep her from screaming.
"Do..you..really want to know?" He stepped towards her, and she stepped back and hit the gates. "Kuso.." she screamed in her head.
"..y-yes?" she wasn't sure if she was asking him or herself. He smirked and answered simply.
"This." He shoved the kunai into her small abdomen, and she let out a scream and fell to her knee's.
"So you're a screamer?" He chuckled evily, and picked her up by her hair, holding her above the ground. She let out a yelp of pain.
"Naruto!" She screamed.
"Calling for back-up, eh?" he raised an eyebrow at her. Tears streamed down her face. Her tummy hurt, she was scared,she had a huge head-ache and she just wanted to cling to her Naru-chan.The man grabbed her by the arm,and started to jump over the gates.
"Naru-chan!" she screamed again, and she saw a flash of yellow a couple of yards away.
"Susu-chan!" He yelled and ran towards her.
"hm..no you don't." The man smirked and jumped fully over the gate, running with incredible speed. All Naruto saw was the guards STILL sleeping, and a trail of dust and dirt in the wind.
"Susu-chan.." he sobbed into the dirt.
Aiku got smacked back into reality when she smacked into a huge tree. She hit the ground with a small 'thunk'. She grabbed her head. " Aughh..." she moaned. She reached over her shoulder and grabbed the hilt of her sword and pulled it out of its sheeth. " Atleast my sword's ok..." she mumbled. She heard voices. Aiku quickly hid behind a tree, and poked her head out to see who was talking. She heard whining and moans of boredum.
" But Kakashi-sensei!" someone whined.
"No buts. Your next mission will be to clean my apartment and that's final!" The 'Kakashi guy' as she "dubbed" him said in a firm yet bored voice.
"It's a mission, dobe. Anyway, why don't we focuse on the task at hand?" "Geez, who put a stick up that guys ass?" she thought.
"SHUT UP SASUKE-TEME! DON'T CALL ME DOBE!" Aiku winced. She was definatly not used to the loudness.
"Come on Sasuke-kun!" Aiku rolled her eyes. "Sounds like a fan girl." She shook her head in disgust.
"Wait--" The 'Kakashi guy said.
"What, did you forget to bring the latest addition of Icha Icha?" The 'loud mouth' asked sarcastically. Aiku heard a small 'swoosh' of wind from behind her.
"Boo." she heard a low voice say from behind her."Fuck" she thought.She turned around to see a silver haired man, Icha Icha Paradise book in hand, and his visable eye currently in an upside down cresent.
"um..Hi?..heh.heh.."Aiku rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.
"Hello to you to." He smiled and gave her a gentle push, and pushed her out into the clearing.
"Who's that?" 'fan girl' said. Kakashi shrugged.
"Dunno." Aiku rolled her eyes. This guy looked really lazy. She blinked. This was a really awkward situation. "Play it cool. Like you own the world! Yes! That's it! Act bitchy." Aiku bit the inside of her cheek to stop her from laughing.She took one big breath, and put her 'I'm a bitch so don't mess with me /i'm really smug' face on. It was basically Sasuke's face when he got a reaction out of Naruto for calling him dobe. Aiku looked over the three kids.The girl had pink hair and jade eyes, and a REALLY big fore-head. "Pink hair? That HAS to be dyed." she chuckled softly and look at the next kid. He had raven hair and onyx eyes. He had a smug look on his face. "If I could i'd cut that smirk right off your UGLY face." For some reason, Aiku automatically hated this kid. And then, she looked at the last boy. Ocean blue eyes and bright blonde hair. Aiku furrowed her eyebrows. Did she know this kid. She looked over him again. Then it hit her like a flying brick in the middle of nowhere. "Naruto..?" she gasped quietly.
"You know this chick Naruto?" the 'stick up his ass' kid said.
"Hell if I know. Do I know you..err...lady?" Aiku rolled her eyes. She started doing hand signs, which made each of them get in their fighting stance. Naruto's eyes grew wider with each kata she did. Aiku mumbled a quiet "Mind communication no jutsu". Aiku smirked. His jaw dropped and he had the most stupidest look on his face. And now, to top it all off.
"Boo." She said in his mind. Naruto cupped his hands over his mouth in shock. Sasuke,Sakura and Kakashi and 'wtf?' faces, and Aiku was trying as hard as she could not to laugh. Aiku's eyes looked a bit glazed over, but other then that it looked like she was standing there.
"Tell your little friends that we're going to have a conversation alright? I'm gonna go see Kyuu Kyuu-kun." Before Naruto could so no, she had alrighty delved into the depths of his dark mind.
In Naruto's mind -
Aiku blinked as she ended up infront of a dark cage. She smirked. Kyuubi was going to be pissed if she woke him up. And that was her mission. She quietly cackled maniacally and took in a deep breath.
"Ohhh KYUUBI-KUN!" she squeeled just like she used to when she dropped into his cage. The Kitsune's eye twitched. He knew that voice. How could he forget that voice. Aiku giggled.
"How's it been Kyuubi?" she said as she slipped through his cage bars without struggle. Aiku sat down next to his large paw and leaned against the bars.
"I've been better." He rolled his eyes. Kyuubi took a deep breath. Looked like he was going to be up for awhile.
"Where've you been?" he asked. The smile was wiped off her face, as if she didn't even know how to.Kyuubi raised his eyebrow's.
"Elaborate." she mumbled. He growled quietly.
"Where've you been all these years?" he asked again.
"..Village hopping."
-- In the clearing, a.k.a outside of Naruto's mind--
"OK, WHO THE HELL IS THAT CHICK!" Sakura yelled. Everyone's eyes twitched.Naruto chuckled.
"What? Jealous that you have some compition for me?" he snickered.
"Naruto!" She punched him in the back of the head.
"Ouch! Ok ok. She's a..childhood friend of mine."he said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh re--" Sakura started but Sasuke cut her off.
"What was that jutsu?" he asked bluntly.
"What jutsu?" Naruto tried to pretend he didn't know what Sasuke was talking about. Plan failed.
"Don't play dumb dobe. Even though you aren't acting, you know what that jutsu is. What is it? Forbidden?" Sasuke wanted an answer. Naruto rolled his eyes, and remembered that Aiku said she was going to see Kyuubi.
"I'll tell you in a second, i'll...be right back...or something." Naruto did the kata's and fell into his own mind. He looked around and saw her sitting inside the cage talking to Kyuubi.
"Alright,alright, don't worry guys, the party's here.Now you can start." He flashed a cheeky grin and slipped through the bars himself. Kyuubi and Aiku rolled their eyes in unison.
"As I was sayi--" Kyuubi got cut short but Naruto.
"So what were you doing in the middle of the forest?" he blinked.
"I..actually don't know..I remember smashing into a tree,falling and then I saw you guys and a listened in for awhile, the that Kakashi guy caught me."she shrugged.
"So how old are you now..Naru-chan..?" she snickered as he sent her a glare.
"Twelve. What about you?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Eleven. AND I'm ANBU Level, but I have no village." She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Lucky bastard.."He mumbled and sent her another glare.
" I heard that!" she pouted and saw her fingers twitch. They were just itching to grab her sword.
"We should dispell the jutsu, I think my team-mates are getting suspicious." he shrugged.
"Yea,Yea whatever. By Kyuubi-kun!" She hugged one of Kyuubi's many fluffy tails and dispelled the jutsu. Kyuubi looked at Naruto.
"She's your best friend." Naruto stuck his tongue out at him and dispelled the jutsu also.
"Susu-chan," He snickered. "Are you planning to stay in Konoha?" Naruto ran one of his hands through his hair.
"Wasn't planning to..but since I have nothing else to do..." she shrugged. "Why not!" she said smiling. The rest of Team 7 had an ' what the HELL did I miss?' look on their faces. Kakashi finely decided to take his head out of the Icha Icha clouds and speak.
"...isn't she like an enemy or something?" obviously, Kakashi was having a..non-jounin day. He didn't even pay atttention. What, did he have A.D.D or something? Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"So, what was that jutsu?" Sasuke said in a cool voice. Aiku rolled her eyes. "Prick" she thought.
"Well it--" she cut off Naruto with her ' I'm a bitch don't mess with me ' voice.
"It's a jutsu Naruto and I made up when we were younger." Aiku crossed her arms infront of her chest. Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Then I bet it woudn't be of any use in battle." Sasuke said as he smirked.
"Then you make up a jutsu you PRICK!" she said while grabbing the hilt of her sword.
"Bitch, don't talk to Sasuke-kun like that!" Sakura yelled as she held tightly onto his arm, making it immobile.
"Aiku.." Naruto hissed. "Don't touch them he said so only she could hear. She sent him a glare.
"Aww...but Naru-chan"she snickered. " I havn't got to cut anyone with my sword yet!" Aiku playfully pouted.
"What's the fun of going somewhere new when you can't kill people?" she mumbled in an aggravated voice. Naruto rolled his eyes and flicked her in the head, but when he pulled his hand back, there was blood on his fingers. He raised an eyebrow.
"Susu-chan...are you alright?" he asked in a serious tone, which made his team-mates look confused. They'd never seen Naruto so serious.
"Pshhh...yea i--" with those words she slipped into darkness. "Ohh..shit." she thought.
