Cat in the Leaf
Prologue:
Chirping birds were the alarm for all light sleepers in a quiet village, nestled in a forest. The first rays of sunshine began to glow down on the sleeping people, slowly awakening them. A white dove flew quickly through the air, a note attached to its left leg. Gracefully it landed on the window sill of a peculiarly rundown and abused apartment. Pecking on the glass it waited for the resident of the household to answer. Slowly, a half asleep boy yawned and walked down the hallway to the window. The boy scratched his blonde head sleepily, and opened the window. Looking at the bird with half asleep eyes he reached out and fed it a piece of toast taking the note with him. He quickly glanced over the note, eyes widening and the sleep within his eyes disappearing, then yelled out. "Their coming!" the blonde cheered in happiness.
Chapter 1.
Naruto whistled happily as he walked down the street. The song was Misery by Maroon 5. People glanced at him wondering where he got all these weird songs. If only they knew. He did an odd dance as he walked making people look at him with even more confusion. Spinning around he continued walking to Team 7's meeting place. Today I'll beat that emo teme Sasuke! He thought even happier, if that was possible. Sasuke and Sakura glanced at their team mate with confusion; he was still humming his song. The emo duck ass haired Uchiha turned around and glared out at the water. Slowly a tick mark appeared on Sakura's head and she went over and yelled. "Naruto! Stop humming that stupid song!" she yelled. Naruto glanced at her in confusion and curiosity.
"What'd you say Sakura?" he asked tilting his head thoughtfully at her. This angered the pink haired girl and she swung her fist down at him. Naruto's eyes widened at this, and then he grabbed the edge of the rail and flipped himself over the edge, landing in the water on his feet with perfect balance. "Um sorry Sakura? That was on instinct I guess" he said shrugging as he did it. Sakura glared at him before huffing and turning around, most un-lady like may I say. Naruto climbed out of the river and onto the bridge when a puff introduced their sensei.
"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura yelled before stopping, noticing that Naruto was day dreaming and not paying attention. Naruto turned to his sensei and said simply.
"Sorry Kakashi-sensei but I have plans for today so I can't join in on todays D-rank mission's bye" Naruto then promptly puffed away making everyone realize he had replaced himself with a shadow clone.
With the real Naruto…
Naruto hurried through his closet until he came upon an ordinary bag. Smirking, he pulled out an orange t-shirt with tan shorts. His smirk crumpled as he threw those on the grounds and began searching through the bag, until he finally got to his favorite clothes. Pulling out a black t-shirt, he looked at the cat on it, its fur was bright orange and its eyes were a red orange. Then he grabbed his black knee high shorts, and his black sneakers with orange bottoms and laces plus black socks. Putting on everything, and glancing at the beaded black and white bracelet on his left hand, he headed out. Naruto cheerfully started whistling Misery again. I wish I still had my iPod... the boy thought to himself sadly. Suddenly he bumped into someone and looked up taking a second look he asked "Kyo?" The carrot topped teenager glanced down at him. "DAMN CAT! DON'T RUN INTO ME!" he yelled at him. Naruto glared and yelled back, "WHY DON'T YOU WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING YOU DAMN CAT!" Suddenly a pale boy with equally grey pale purple hair said "You should both calm down…" Naruto and Kyo turned to the boy. "SHUT UP YOU DAMN RAT, YUKI!" they both yelled together. Yuki sweat dropped, and turned to the teenager beside them. "Haru, can you calm them down?" he asked. The white haired boy shrugged and turned to the blonde and carrot top. "Both of you should shut up before we draw a crowd" he said. Naruto glared at him. "Is that a threat?" the blonde questioned. Kyo rolled his eyes, thinking this was getting out of hand. "Why, do you want to fight me?" Haru yelled as black Haru took over. Naruto glared as fighting spirit roared in his eyes like a raging fire. "HELL YA!" he replied and they both took off running to the nearest training ground. Kyo rolled his eyes and turned to Yuki and the rest of the group. "Might as well follow them" Shigure rolled his eyes. "Troublesome children "the author muttered. Then the group took off after them.
When they found them Naruto and Haru were in a fight, both matching each other blow for blow. Naruto gripped Haru's leg holding the teen in the same place, and reached his fist at him, going for a punch. Haru made Naruto release his grip and rolled back, before they charged again. Kyo rolled his eyes at their antics. Naruto suddenly jumped up and kicked Haru in the chin causing the man to fall. The small blonde next to Yuki yelled out. "GO NARUTO! KICK HARU'S ASS!" the little boy yelled to up Naruto's spirits. The other blonde nodded in acknowledgment, and stopped seeing he defeated Haru. "Who wants to go to the nightclub on the other side of town? I haven't sung in a while..." Naruto looked at them all. Haru nodded; now back in white Haru, wanting to hear how the blonde's voice had developed. "ALRIGHT!" Naruto yelled and lead them towards the nightclub.
Not long after…
Naruto slowly approached the stage and climbed up the steps and tested the microphone before saying. "I'm going to sing a song for my family over there" he gestured to the group of people that took up two tables. "This song is called Misery by Maroon 5" he said before beginning to snap the beat and let his iPod (that Kyo brought for him) play the rhythm. And then he called out in an amazing melodic voice.
"Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So scared of breaking it that you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters I will never send
Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up, I'd rather let them be
So let me be, and I'll set you free
I am in misery
There ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Your salty skin and how it mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be completely intertwined
Not that I didn't care, it's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel; it's what I didn't show
So let me be, and I'll set you free
I am in misery
And there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
Now I'm gonna get you back
You say your faith is shaken, and you may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused, so far away from you
I'm getting there; I don't care where I have to roam
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah?
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah?
Why do you do what you do to me yeah?
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah?
I am in misery
And there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back" he finally finished as the crowd stood in awe, and suddenly started yelling for him to sing more. People clapped, whistled and yelled for more, he turned to see what his family said, they started nodding. Naruto thought and headed for his iPod changing the rhythm and began singing.
