A/N:
Hellooo~~
This is my first fanfic EVER. So I really hope you enjoy
the story. It's an idea I've had in my head for a while and I
just thought: 'What the hell, let's just write it' I hope you
like reading it as much as I liked writing it.
So here's the
first chapter!
Enjoy~~
My name is Bella.
Bella Swan. I'm 17 years old and I live in the Hidden Leaf Village
named Konoha.
I have lived here as long as I can remember, though
I know I'm actually from a different world.
Nobody in this village knows where I'm from though. Not even me. I woke up here with no memories at all, though I've always known I'm not from here. I don't even look the same than most of the people here. Not that it bothers me, or anyone else. They all accept me the way I am, thankfully.
I have been raised by Kakashi Hatake. He is the one that found me the day I arrived here. And he has raised me since then. I was about 2 or 3 years old when he found me, thus the reason I have no memories of my former world at all.
But Kakashi, he's something else. He's a ninja. And a good one at that. He's one of the best, in my eyes anyways. He also thought it would be best to train me as well, the moment I could walk and talk properly. Which was around the age of 4. He taught me everything he knew. Also the reason I'm one of the best ninja's at my age. I've fought a lot. And killed a lot as well. I must admit, I hate killing. But it is as Kakashi has told me, it is either kill, or be killed. I go for being alive, thus I end up killing. It's part of my life I guess.
So here I am. Standing in the office of the 5th Hokage, the Godaime, Tsunade. After the third Hokage died, she took his place as a leader from this village. She's been good to us, thankfully. Good to me, as well, knowing I'm not exactly from around here.
"Did you pay any attention to what I just told you, Bella?" I started to laugh sheepishly. "Ah, sorry no. I got caught up in my thoughts. I'm sorry." I told her. Tsunade looked at me with a smile. "Your thoughts, hm? Are you with me now, Bella?" I bowed, "Yes ma'am!" She chuckled.
"Okay, listen up. I just received news that the Akatsuki entered the Fire Country a few days ago. We, however, do not have any information as of why they are here. I want you to go look for them and find out why they are here. They are currently located somewhere in the west of this country" I nodded. "Okay, who are my team members?" I asked her. She looked at me doubtfully. Wonder what's with that look, I thought. "Well Bella," She paused. "I'm not sending anyone with you, this is a solo-mission"
I looked at her wide-eyed. "W-w-what? A solo-mission? Involving the A-a-akatsuki? Are you mad? They'll probably kill me! Who are they anyways?" I half screamed. Tsunade chuckled again, at my reaction. "The 2 members of the Akatsuki are.." She paused again. Oh, please, not another pause. "Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha." I stopped breathing.
Itachi.
Itachi.
The one person I once considered my best friend. The one who coldly murdered everyone from his entire clan. Well, not everyone. He let his little brother live. No one knows why. Not even me. And I thought he actually shared everything with me. Guess not. I truly hate him now. For using me the way he did. He was a good friend, that was sure. And I was a good friend to him. That made me wonder his action even more. I did noticed him become more.. distant. Never dared to ask why. Guess I didn't have to, a week after I first noticed, he killed them all. "-lla. BELLA!" I snapped out of my thoughts to see a angry looking Tsunade look my way. "I'm sorry, " I said, while I looked down shamefully.
"I've
been yelling your name for the past 10 minutes now, are you okay?"
She looked at me with pity. Tsunade probably knows exactly what I was
thinking about. She knows the entire story about Itachi and me. Who
doesn't, really. I thought grimly.
"I'm okay, don't worry about it. It's nothing I can't
handle." I told her. She gave me a look that said 'Are you really
really sure?' I just nodded. Tsunade sighed and gave me a
scroll.
"Everything you need to know is in that scroll. Don't
lose it. If anyone finds out what's in that scroll, we're in
trouble." She told me. I nodded. "Got it, don't lose the scroll
or I'll be in trouble" I nodded again. I tucked the scroll in my
pocket, keeping it close to me. "When do I leave?" Tsunade
sighed. "You leave as soon as possible. Go home, inform Kakashi,
pack your belongings and report when you're done. After that, you
leave." I nodded and said, "Yes ma'am!" I turned around and
left her office.
I walked down the street, drowned in my thoughts, automatically avoiding everyone who is about to bump in to me. I walked straight home, at a normal pace. I knew I had to leave as soon as possible, but I just had to think things through. And simply walking, took about 15 minutes to get home.
When I finally got home Kakashi was laying on the couch reading one of his dirty books. "You still read those dirty things?" I asked him, tossing him a shoe. He, of course, caught the shoe, jumped from the couch and tossed the shoe back, all in a matter of less than 5 seconds. I avoided the shoe with much ease, thanks to all my hard training.
"Hey, Bells. How's it going? How'd go with the Hokage?" He asked while walking to the kitchen. "Tea?" I nodded "Yes, please. And it was okay. I got a new mission assigned today. And I have to leave as soon as possible. So after that tea I'm going to have to pack my belongings and head out." Kakashi nodded while pouring me some tea. "Okay, when will you be back?" I sighed. "I have no idea. It's a solo-mission too. I'm send to do some exploring in the west. So, don't expect me back too soon, I guess." I told him. He looked at me with a sad smile. "You're being send away a lot lately. I miss having you around here." I laughed softly. "You're always gone when I'm at home. Always doing missions with your team. So don't give me that. You're home just as much as I am." He laughed along with me. "Touché. You're absolutely right about that, and I'm terribly sorry for that. Ah, you should go know, I think. Go pack your things. And don't leave without saying goodbye." He told me while I was getting up. "I won't, don't worry. I was raised properly you know." I said with a wink. He just laughed at that.
I went to my room and got my backpack. I started to pack the things I would need the most. Spare clothes, energy bars, a can filled with water, some jutsu scrolls, kunai, shuriken everything I might need. I started to get nervous just after I packed. What will I say to him? I didn't know how to answer my own thoughts. I let out a heavy sigh and stood, putting the backpack on my back. I walked out of my room towards the living room. I looked at Kakashi. He looked back with a surprised look on his face. "Wha-" I jumped at him knocking him from his feet, giving him a hug. "Ow!" Kakashi kept looking at me. "Is it that bad, Bella?" He asked quietly. "I can't tell, Kakashi, I'm so sorry. I can't tell you anything. But promise me, not to grieve too long if I were not to come back anymore. I just can't shake this feeling something is going to go wrong. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you anything. But I think you should know, that it could go wrong." I was almost in tears now. Kakashi kept hugging me, "It's going to be okay. And I promise not to grieve long. Not too long anyways. I promise." I wiped my eyes. And I stood again. Giving him one last hug. "I have to go now. Take care, okay? Don't beat up your team too hard. Nor yourself." He nodded returning the hug. "Will do, sweet Bella, take care." He let go of me and I left.
I ran towards the office of the Hokage at a great speed. I reached the building within the minute. The moment I entered the office, Tsunade looked at me with concern written all over her face. "Are you okay?" I stopped in front of her desk "I'm okay, really, don't worry about me." She nodded and wished me good luck. I nodded and I left the building.
I
ran through the streets of Konoha. It was quite busy on the streets,
with everyone doing their groceries. I jumped on the nearest roof and
ran towards the west-city exit. The exit
neared and I ran right through. I kept up my pace and kept running
and running. It was probably around 3 pm that I left, looking at the
sky it was probably around 7 pm now. So
I've been running for about 4 hours now.
I looked around. Still no one in sight.
Then I saw him. Itachi. He was just standing there, with his partner.
Who was looking extremely happy, wonder
why? I stopped a few yards away from
them. Just looking at them.
"Glad you could join us." Itachi
said. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "You were expecting
me?" I asked him. He chuckled with a small smile at his lips. "You
could say that. I made a deal with Tsunade, in a way." I looked at
him in shock and almost yelled 'you did what?' But luckily I kept
my cool. "Why would you make a deal with the Hokage," I demanded.
He just laughed. He laughed?
"Why are you laughing?" I asked him. "Because, dear Bella,"
He started. "Because, I've found a way to bring you back to your
own world." My eyes widened. "W-w-what? You.. What?" Itachi's
eyes softened. "You deserve to go home, Bella. You deserve to know
where you came from and you deserve to be there." I didn't know
what to think. Go home? Me? "I was home, Itachi. Just before I left
to come here." 'He shook his head with a sad smile. "You knew
all along you weren't from around here. Why not find out how that's
like?" I just stared at him with my mouth open. "Find out what
it's like? Will I ever be able to go back here? If of course, I
will take your offer?" I asked him. "I don't think so. I don't
think you're supposed to come back here at all, Bella." I sank to
the ground. Not come back here? Never seeing Kakashi again? I guess
it was a good thing I told him goodbye after all.
I think I sat here for at least 10 minutes, weighing my options. What to do..What would Kakashi say? He would say I should do it, I'm sure of it. I opened my eyes and stood again, looking at Itachi. I nodded once and he nodded back at me, using some weird symbols. Then something happened I never expected. A portal of some sort opened right in front of me. I hesitantly walked towards it. Touching the entrance with my fingers. "It's alright, just walk through, Bella." Itachi told me. And I did just that. Everything started to spin. I started to get extremely dizzy because of that. I closed my eyes and then I felt something beneath me. Grass. I heard birds chirping all around me. I'm in a forest?
When I opened my eyes, I saw something that literally took my breath away.
