Hello everyone! Lulu here with a new Naruto fic! Enjoy and review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto... Unfortunately;)
In her sixteen years of existence, Igidiri Yukina never thought she would pass away so fast. It seems like only seconds have past since her entering high school, making friends, watching endless animes, and dealing with the death of her brother. She wonders how she died, but doesn't have the energy to move or think. She lies on a seemingly endless pit, floating nonstop on top of the hole.
Suddenly a bright light appears and purple butterflies flood into Yukina's vision. A faraway voice resonates, "The chosen girl from the 56th world in the universe. 'Tis time for thy reincarnation. With thy death as instigator, we shalt bring thee to thy place of belonging. Now, sign the contract that shalt determine thy fate. Now, sign!"
Who is that, Yukina thinks. She feels so tired, and her eyes are so heavy. Butterflies suddenly glide over to her right hand, and with their wings, prickle her her pointer finger. As drops of blood begin to dribble out from her fingers, the butterflies' wings are dyed red. A piece of paper appears from the darkness and the butterflies paint letters onto it. Yukina squints as she makes out that it is her name that they wrote on the paper.
The voice comes back, "Thou art ready. Be ready to depart. But hark, we shalt give thee a treasure. It canst be of help to thou if used righteously. Now 'tis time to say farewell. Be strong, the chosen." As the voice echos further and further away from her, Yukina begins to lose her consciousness as she drifts into deep sleep. She doesn't notice that the gift the voice gave her, a delicate silver whistle, was placed around her neck in silver chains.
Yukina wakes up with a start. She feels like all her bones and muscles are displaced as she attempts a stretch. When she looks down at her hands, she notices with bewilderment that her body has shrunk! The hands are those of six or seven year old children! She quickly scans her surrounding, wondering what exactly has happened to her. She is apparently near a lake. Children chase each other and adults talk merrily to each other. Problem? Their clothes. They are way too old fashioned and strange. No one is wearing jeans! Where the heck am I? Yukina mentally screams. She tries to remember what happened to her, but the only things she remembers is her death and the voice. The evidence that the voice indeed existed is around her neck, the whistle. She touches it and immediately lets go. She feels something like an electric current go through her and frowns. Now that she is a child in an unknown place, what can she do? Yukina decided to take a risk and look around the place where she is now.
As she walks down the road, she reaches a children's playground. Since the sun is setting, no one seems to be there. Hold on, there is only one person there. A small blonde boy with blue eyes is sitting on an old swing by himself. His lonely figure and whisker marks startle Yukina quite a bit. He can't be who she thinks he is, right? The boy chooses this time to look up at her. His ocean blue eyes bears into her violet ones. "Who are you?" he asks with surprise tinged in his voice.
"Ugh...Oh, me? I'm Igidiri Yukina. Wha- What about you?" Yukina asks in spite of her nervousness.
"Eh? You don't know me?" the boy's blue eyes widen and for some reason lights up, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto! I'm gonna be the Hokage one day!" Okay, Yukina thinks, I think I know where I am now. But is this really possible, she mentally screams. She's in the world of Naruto! She suddenly remembers the voice talking about her world being the 56th. So that means there are more worlds out there? Taking Yukina's silence as shock due to hatred Naruto sadly says"So you're like the rest of them, huh. You hate me as well."
"What? Wait umm, Naruto! I was just, ugh, thinking!" Yukina snaps out of her thoughts and offers the blond a smile. "So Naruto-kun, why are you here at this hour? It's pretty late for a child like you."
Naruto looks confusedly at her, "But you're the same age as me... But yeah. I was just really sad today. This place is always empty at this time, so I come here to not be bothered by anyone..."
Yukina watched the anime Naruto back in her world and remembers how unfortunate Naruto's childhood was. She feels sad for the poor kid, because at this time he is probably hated by most of the village. Suddenly, an idea forms in her mind. "Say, Naruto, who do you live with?"
"I live by myself," Naruto says as he looks down at his feet. His reaction leaves Yukina somewhat baffled. The energetic and hotblooded being so down; is that even possible?
"Say, Naruto, can you help me? Since I just arrived in Konaha, I need a place to stay. But like you, I am also alone, so can I live with you. I promise I'll help you with your chores!"
"Not Konaha, it's Konoha!" Naruto corrects automatically. He blinks after he takes in what she asked of him. "Since we're both alone... I guess it's the duty of the future Hokage to help a person in need." He says triumphantly with a pat on his chest. But he also glances at her to see her reaction to his dream. Most people reject or laugh at his dream to be Hokage. But this girl, who is alone like him... He hopes she can understand him.
"Thank you, Naruto! You're the best!" Yukina laughs at Naruto's antics. "Let me be your right hand man, no woman, when you become Hokage, ok?" Naruto, while shocked at hearing her say she believes in him, grins at her happiness. This girl from another village doesn't seem to hate him, like his own villagers.
"Wait, that means you want to be a ninja, right?" Naruto asks as he leads the way back to his home.
Ninja hmmm, Yukina thinks, that means she will have to face blood and death. No matter what, she was dead once. This life should be used to protect those who she loves and create memories that can compensate for her lost ones. "Yeah." She says brightly, "I hope one day I'll be a great kunoichi!"
"You're so nice, Yukina-chan," Naruto comments sheepishly. At Yukina's surprised look, he explains, "You're the first person other than Jiji and Iruka-sensei to be so nice to me."
"Oh Naruto. You're so cute!" Yukina giggles at how adorable the mini Naruto is being. "I'll be there for you," she promises to protect him from the evil of this world. I hope I can prevent the events that happened in the anime, Yukina vows silently to herself. As the two reach the front of the apartment block Naruto lives in, men in civilian clothes appear and surround them.
"You fox beast! You damn kid! Today's my wife's anniversary. Her death anniversary. You fucking killed her! Today is the day I'll avenge her death!" the ring-leader, Yukina believes suddenly takes out a knife and slashes at Naruto. His men follow suit and gang up on the two 6 year olds.
"Naruto-kun didn't do anything. Get back to your senses! Why are you blaming this innocent boy?!" Yukina reacts by pulling Naruto behind her and bravely talks back to the civilians despite her shaking voice. This is the first time to see an actual knife pointed at her, but she steels her resolve as she realizes she will face worse if she is going to be a ninja.
"It's okay, Yukina," Naruto says sadly and attempts a smile, "I heal fast, so don't worry about me and get out of here! I don't want you to be hurt because of me..."
"This boy is anything but fucking innocent!" the leader raged on, "Only if we kill him, I will feel better for my wife's death. Come on, guys. Kill him!"
Yukina froze. She doesn't want to run and abandon Naruto, nor does she want to get slashed by the knives the men had. Her hands nervously fiddle with her neckless. The neckless! Yukina is relieved to remember what the voice told her. This gift may help her! The problem is how to use it! Who cares, she thinks, there's no more time! Yukina takes a deep breath and blows into the whistle. "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." the whistle sounds. Nothing happens for ten seconds and the men look at her with confusion.
"I said slash 'em up!" The leader reminds the other men and they once again prepare to attack. Suddenly, purple butterflies appear and their wings slash at the men. Their razor sharp, knife-like wings slide cross the men's faces and bodies. The men shriek and scream and try to fan away the butterflies, but no avail. After some are killed by their knives, more come and slash at them with their wings. "Fuck you kids!" the leader screams as they hurry away from the front Naruto's apartment, "Just you wait!"
The butterflies disappear after the men leave. Both Yukina and Naruto let out big sighs as they watch the men's retreating backs. "Are you alright, Naruto-kun?" Yukina asks.
"Are YOU alright, Yukina-chan?" Naruto asks with wide eyes, "You're hurt!" he exclaims.
Yukina looks at him in confusion. But when she touches her forehead she realizes that some of the men's blood from their cuts are sprayed onto her face. "I'm okay Naru-chan!" she smiles.
"Naru-chan?" Naruto asks, confused.
"Yeah! Now that we are living together, we're a family! Don't be so formal!" She laughs. If Naruto's biggest dream is to have people he can love, why not make it come true for him now!
Naruto first looks shocked, but then grins, "Yeah! We're family, Yuki-chan!" They smile at each other, "But let's wash your forehead first." The two enter Naruto's apartment and Yukina washes the men's blood off of her face. This is the first time she purposefully injured someone. And what's with the butterflies? "You know, Yuki-chan. You were so cool out there! How did you get those butterflies to come out?"
"I honestly don't know, Naru-chan," Yukina frowns, "Sorry, I feel really tired after the fight, can we go to sleep?" Naruto nods understandingly and shows her where the bed is. He offers to sleep on the futon on the floor tonight, and Yukina doesn't object. Today has been a tiring day, she just wants to sleep. "Goodnight, Naru-chan," she mumbles as she settles on Naruto's bed. Screw manners. She is too tired for that. She'll just take Naruto's bed tonight.
"'Night Yuki-chan," an equally sleepy Naruto murmurs back.
Meanwhile, on top of Naruto's building. An ANBU with a dog mask shushins back to the Hokage Tower and requests to talk with the Hokage. He is the person that Naruto thought he had lost when he ran to the playground. He was watching in the dark, since his job is to protect Naruto. Just when he wanted to save Naruto and his companion, the girl released summons. Butterflies are unnatural to be used as summons. He wonders what family she can be from. She doesn't seem to be from the Fire country from what he has heard from her conversation with Naruto. He has to report to the Hokage.
Once he is let in, he tells the Sandaime about the girl he saw today. He relays to him about the suspiciousness of the girl being a spy from another country and the fact that she saved Naruto. The Hokage sighs. Namikaze Minato's son is going to be just as surprising as his father. He dismissed Dog after he finishes. Once alone, he thinks that he is going to have a chat with that girl soon.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Please review! That would mean a LOT to me! Thank you:)
