(A/N This is my first fan fiction, so I have no idea how this site works. I hope I did this right. If I didn't I'll figure it out for later chapters)

"Damn it, un..."
A young, blonde haired boy quickly pulled a shard of glass out of the bottom of his foot, grunting as he saw the blood leak out, and quickly bandaged himself.
"Looks like it's just one of those kind of days, un."
He sighed and stood up, pushing away the dull pain in his arch. He walked to the river and got some water, dipping his bloodied hands to get them clean, and then brought the cold water to his mouth.
He walked away from the bank, found the nearest tree, sat down, and leaned back, looking at his surroundings even though he was sure he had lost the ANBU already. He looked upriver to the west, and saw the sun just coming up. He sighed once more, leaned his head back against the street, closing his eyes against the persistent dawn.
When he thought about why he was running, the burning orphanage left behind in the village he tried to find a "home" in, he sighed. When realized he didn't like this latest town, he tried to leave. They said he couldn't, so...he sighed again. He didn't like how his day was going, and it wasn't even noon.
As he sat there for hours, waiting for his body to have enough energy to begin another journey, to another town, in another country, he didn't open his eyes, and didn't think about anything at all. He finally opened his eyes, and upon checking the sun got up, wincing, to start walking again.
He walked through the forest, passed small farms, a river, and many towns. None of these places suited him, and he didn't stop once. The sun finally reached twilight, and he had reached yet another forest. He stopped, and decided to rest for the night. Bandits or roadside criminals may attack him if he didn't walk in the lighter hours of the day. He leaped onto a tree branch, and settled there for the night.

She followed the strange boy, sketchbook out and drawing his journey, place by place. Him by a river, in a main street of a town, glaring at a cow. She giggled in her tree as she looked at the last one. He was sleeping in the tree only a yard or so away from her, balanced like an earthquake would barely shake him awake. He had such strange clothes, same as everyone in this place. She was so happy, and decided not to sleep but to draw him once more.
She wished she could talk to him, but leaned against it, knowing he would hate her. She laughed, finished up the sketch, and decided that if she tried to walk again tomorrow, she may as well sleep enough not to faint. She curled up on the thick branch, and soon fell asleep, setting her phone's alarm for a little before she thought dawn would arrive and the boy would wake up.

His eyes snapped open after hearing a strange noise, which was silenced quickly. He lay there for a time, and after he thought it safe he leaped down from the tree. He was so tired, but walked to the river for water anyways. He drank, hoping the water would fill his aching stomach.
All it did was make his stomach pains worsen, and the water felt like glass in his stomach. He winced, sighed, and tried to walk again, only succeeding with stumbling a few feet, hitting a tree, being crushed by a very large object falling from above him, and becoming successfully pinned to the ground beneath him.

She was so tired...there was a ringing noise, but she soon punched a few buttons and curled back into herself. It was cold, early, and her feet hurt. She went back to sleep, still balanced on the branch.
When she woke up, she was half way past the trunk falling out of a tree. Not the best wake-up call you could ask for. She crashed to the ground, surprised that it didn't hurt at all. She lay there for a few minutes, soon realizing the ground was breathing.

(A/N Ha ha ha! Cliffy! Mhua ha ha!...yeah. it'll get more interesting, I swear! Also, I might not be able to figure out chapters, so bear with me please. If I mess up this document, I'll make something called "Sequel to Deidara's Northern Lights", and that will be the other chapters if this doesn't work. Also, I'll only write more chapters if I get some reviews, so please do! I thrive on them!)
