Chapter 1

Happyfish: I do not own NARUTO!

'Thinking'

"Talking"

"Singing"

"Talking in magical animal form"

Sakura knows that she is small and weak for her age, she is a one hundred and twenty year old demoness and she has not gained another tail in all that time she only has one tail. While the rest of her brothers and sisters, both younger and older have at least four or five tails.

It is a cause of great shame upon her clan because they are a fast power increasing clan and she was supposed to be the next head of family since she was the firstborn girl under the full blue moon.

'I shall leave my family and my clan and seek my destiny else where, who knows maybe I will grow more power eventually and grow bigger… at least my family will not have to hide me any more when important demons come around.' Thought Sakura. 'Good bye forever and hope to see you guys never again!'

With that last thought she ran out of her home and went deep into the forest away from the kitsune village of her birth. Sakura had never been outside of her village before and did not know of the dangers and the wonders that lay in wait for her to find.

She had been traveling for hours and she had decided to go hunt for something to eat, she quickly caught the trail of a fawn and went after it. After some careful stalking she captured and killed her prey and went to settle down somewhere to eat and rest for the night.

She found a beautiful green meadow with trees that ringed the place; she shifted into her two legged form and cut, prepared and started to cook the meal using her meager magic. She prided herself in making a good meal that always made others happy and they always praised her on the meal, even if they did not know that it was her who had made it.

What she did not know was that there were two more powerful, and male kitsune that had smelled the delightful meal cook over the fire. They wanted some one to talk to and some food, one was wanting to food more while the other wanted to talk more.

Both ran an easy pace to where she was and in little over an hour she sensed two powerful kitsune, one of them had nine tails the other had four. The four tailed male demon looked kind of wolf like and he was pure blackish blue and had the infamous red eyes of his clan.

Sasuke transformed into his human form and came out of the darkness and into the light of Sakura's fire.

"Hello." He said in his soft voice. "My name is Sasuke what is yours?"

"My name is Sakura." She replied. "What is it that you want?"

"Just some company and maybe some of that delicious smelling food that is roasting on the fire." Answered Sasuke.

Sakura looked at him suspiciously. "And what else would a four tailed kitsune want from little ol' me?"

"I won't harm pink chan." Said a new voice. "And I doubt that he will."

"My name is Sakura stranger." Said Sakura. "Come into the firelight."

"Why should I when I know that you can see me perfectly well one tail." Said Naruto.

"I suppose you want to also try and have some of my food as well as my company?" Asked Sakura.

"Yes, I would like to talk to some one it has been a while since I have talked to some one. I have been traveling alone for a while now." Replied the blonde nine tailed kitsune.

"It is strange for you to go wondering around with no one with you." Said Sakura to both of them. "And I would like to know your name."

"I am called Naruto." Repleid Naruto as he finally stepped in to the firelight. "It is also strange to see a one tailed kitsune wondering alone, especially a female."

"Are you insinuating that I can not defend myself?" Asked Sakura with a demonic hiss.

"No." Said Naruto. "And I do believe that you're dinner is going to burn if you keep it in the fire for so much longer."

Sakura removed the fawn and she said. "And any ways I only caught a small fawn, it is enough to last me for a couple of days, but it will only last for the night if we split this equally."

She had a point, and also they did kind of barge into her camp unannounced.

"How old are you?" Naruto asked. "I am one hundred and twenty years old."

"I am the same age as you are." Replied Sakura.

Both of them looked to the quiet raven haired one and he stated. "… I am one hundred and twenty as well."

'Just my luck.' Thought Sakura glumly. 'Kitsune my age are at least three times more powerful than I. Maybe I am the runt of my clan.'

"You seem troubled." Said Naruto perceptively. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Why should I talk to some one I have only met and known for only a minute or two?" Inquired Sakura.

Naruto nodded amicably. "That is true."

"Perhaps if we are all going in the same direction we should travel together." Stated Sasuke mildly.

"Where are you going?" Asked Sakura to the pair of them.

"To which ever way I fancy." Said Naruto. "I am just searching for adventure and to learn and hopefully get stronger and wiser. What about you two?"
"I have no particular destination in mind as of yet and I am not needed any where… well anywhere where people would care about." Said Sasuke. "So I suppose I could travel with you, after all I could use some one to talk to on this sojourn of mine."

Sakura thought about what they had said and she knew they were right and also she thought. 'What harm could it do to travel with them?'

"I suppose I could travel with you two, but we need to set down some rules and learn more about one another." Said Sakura.

"It is only fair." Said Naruto and Sasuke.

So as Sakura divided the meal into three equal portions they got to know one another, the one thing that all three of them avoided talking about was their pasts. It was an unspoken rule that they had made with out consciously knowing, or saying it aloud.

After the fire was put out they went to sleep, they shifted into their true forms and then Sakura laid down and curled into a ball, neatly tucking her tail between her paws. Sasuke slept beside, only a couple feet away curled in a partial ball and he watched as Naruto easily curled his gigantic form around them in a ball.

Sasuke was the last one to fall asleep and as he did he had one last thought on his mind before he went in to the land of dreams and that one was. 'I hope that they do not find out that I am of the "mighty" Uchiha clan.'

This is probably going to be a multi chapter fic and I am going to post in on my account. my name is in the beginging of the story and that is the end of chapter one.
