AN: Wooooo so this is my first fic and it's probably gonna suck reALLLY bad but it would be awesome if you guys liked it so yeah. Enjoy the story c:

Ch. 1

Azure eyes were looking through the car window, watching the world go by.

"I can't believe I'm going back. It's been so long. I wonder how everyone's changed. I bet they won't even remember me."

Deep in thought, the boy didn't hear his mother calling him.

"UZUMAKI NARUTO ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" His mother yelled.

"Sorry, I was just spacing out." said seventeen year old Naruto, still looking out the window. He deeply sighed and turned to his mother. "What were you saying?"

His mother shook her head and smiled softly. She just couldn't stay mad at her little angel.

"I was saying that when we get to the new… -er, I mean our old house, I want you to help Minato unpack and put everything away. I want the house looking perfect the moment I wake up the next day." She said, almost too gleefully.

Minato is Naruto's father and best friend. They looked like they could be twins. Both had spikey blonde hair, and bright blue eyes that had people falling head over heels for them. The only difference between the two, (besides the age difference), were the six whisker-like scars on Naruto's face, three on each cheek.

The older blonde looked over to his wife and smiled. She was still rambling about how everything should look and where everything should go in their new, or should he say old house. He was still wondering how he was so lucky to have found her. She was the most gorgeous woman he's ever seen. Long, scarlet hair that reached past her waist and beautiful, violet-blue eyes that stood out against her fair skin. He couldn't help but fall in love with her the moment he laid his eyes upon her.

"Come on Kushina, be easy on Naru, he's probably tired beyond belief. It's been a long day. Why don't we rest and unpack tomorrow when we're fresh and full of energy." Minato said to his wife, praying to whatever god who heard him first, to get not only himself, but his son out of doing house work for at least a day.

Kushina rolled her eyes and looked back at her husband. "You're lucky you're pretty, you know?"

The so-called pretty one chuckled and looked over at his wife, "Yeah, I know."

While their bickering went on, Naruto couldn't help but smile. He loved his parents. He really did. Everything they did was for him. He could trust them with anything; tell them anything, because he would know they would understand. Ever since that day, he knew they would love him no matter what.

(flashback)

-6 year old Naruto-

"Mom, Dad, why am I a girl?" Naruto asked, looking innocent as ever.

This question took his parents aback. What was he trying to say?

"Well sweetie, because that's the way you were born." his mother replied to him, with a confused look on her face.

"But I wanna be a boy. Girls are icky, I like boys better! I feel like a boy even though I look like a girl, but I don't know why." Naruto pouted while looking down, his bright blonde locks falling in front of his eyes.

Minato kneeled down to his daughter's height sighed. "Naruko," he called him by his birth name "is that what you really want? Because, if you say 'yes' then you can't change your mind."

Naruto looked up at his father. There were many emotions going through his cerulean eyes, the two most dominant being love and understanding. It made Naruto feel more confident, knowing that his father would accept him as a boy. He looked over at his mother and instantly looked back down to the floor. She looked angry and confused.

"Naruko, what do you mean you don't want to be a girl? You ARE a girl. You can't just not be a girl.", Kushina snapped. "You're my little princess, nothing more, nothing less. I can't accept what trying to say. It just doesn't make sense."

Naruto flinched at his mother's tone, but stood his ground nonetheless. "But mom, I don't want to be a girl. I feel all weird wearing dresses and having long hair. It looks ugly on me and I don't want to be ugly. Won't you love me just as much if I was a boy?" Naruto whimpered. He was on the verge of tears. If he knew his mother would react this way, he would have kept his mouth shut. He didn't want her to hate him.

Kushina was at a loss of words. She didn't mean to react so harshly against her daughter, especially knowing that Naruto felt ugly as a girl. "Naru listen," The redhead said softly, "it's just this is a lot to take in. I'm sorry for getting so mad at you. I don't want you to think that I won't love you if you were a boy. It's just that I've always seen you as my little princess. But I guess just have to get used to get used to my princess being a prince." She smiled softly and hugged her daughter. "If you want to be a boy that bad, I guess I'll just have to accept it. My love for you will never change no matter what."

Naruto looked at his mother with big eyes and then back at his father. He couldn't believe it. His parents were okay with his confession and actually supportive of him. He didn't think that something like that could be possible. "I love you guys so much" he whispered, then hugged them both as tight as possible.

(end flashback)

Naruto was so deep in thought that he didn't realize that they were already pulling up to the driveway of their new home. It looked exactly as it did back when he was little. It gave him sort of nostalgic feeling, looking up at the house.

The moment he got out of the car, he was tackled to the ground by a mop of red hair who was none other than his older brother, Kyuubi.

Kyuubi and Naruto looked nothing alike. He was 4 years older than him, and had red hair, just like his mothers, only his was more of a maroon than a scarlet color and spiked up just like Naruto's. He had violet-blue eyes just like his mother too. But that's where their differences stopped. They might not look the alike, but Naruto and Kyuubi were two peas in a pod. They were both loud, and energetic with massive amounts of stamina that came from who-knows-where. They were also the biggest trouble makers in the world, and if put together, would only cause disaster. The two brothers were also very close, and told each other things they wouldn't ever tell their parents.

"Kyuuuuuuuuuuuu, I can't breathe." Naruto whined.

His brother stared laughing and got up. "I missed you so much otouto!"

"It's only been six months aniki" said the blonde, while getting up and dusting the dirt off his clothes.

The redhead then looked at his younger brother with a hint of excitement running through his eyes. "That's still a long ass time Naru! We have to hit up the clubs as soon as you unpack. You also have to meet my friends. I told them all about you and they really want to meet you!"

"Dude, Kyuu, how are we going to get into any clubs when I'm only seventeen. I don't even have a fake I.D., let alone mom and dad would KILL you if you took me to a place that sold booze."

Kyuubi just chuckled at his brother, "You're such a buzzkill now. What happened between those six months after I left?"

For only a moment, Naruto's eyes darkened, which didn't go unnoticed by his brother. He replied quickly without looking at his brother. "Nothing happened, I just realized that maybe I should be careful of my actions and not doing anything that might screw up my future."

This made the redhead confused on many levels. He had a look of concern written all over his face. "Hey, Naru, seriously though, what happened? You know you can tell me anything right?"

"Yeah, I know. Can I tell you later though? I'm super tired and I just want to get some sleep." The younger boy yawned.

"Yeah sure, no probs otouto. Hey, why don't you come over to my place and crash there? Then we can come back here, I'll help you unpack, and then we can go meet my friends. OH! We can also register you for Konoha High. How does that sound?" asked Kyuubi, with some hope lingering in his question.

Naruto grinned at his brother, "Yeah, that sounds awesome nii-san. I'll go tell mom and dad." And with that, the blonde ran into the house to grab his things and tell his parents of his plans.

Ten minutes later, Naruto ran out of the house and opened the door to Kyuubi's car. It was a fire-red 1969 Chevy Camaro, it was his prized possession and as he called it, his "baby girl". As they pulled out of the driveway, Naruto struck up small conversation. He couldn't deal with silent car rides.

"So how have things been going since you moved back here Kyuu?" asked the blonde.

"Everything's actually been going really good. I mean, I'm glad that I'm back here. Suna just wasn't as great as Konoha even if we lived most of our lives there. Wayyyyyyyyy too hot for my tastes" replied the redhead.

"Yeah, we didn't really have a choice though at the time. We were still really young and it was because of dad's work that we had to move. I kind of liked it there though, or I guess I only liked it because of Gaara. I'm sure gonna miss him." Looking out the window, Naruto sighed. Konoha didn't change much from what he remembered, besides the fact that it's been 12 years since he's been back.

"Yeah, you guys were best friends huh? Did he know you were transgender, Kit?"

"Yeah he did. He kinda found out the first day we met, but he didn't really care and I guess that's how our friendship blossomed."

"I'm glad you were able to make friends back in Suna. The people there were different from the people here. Remember that Uchiha kid? And that Haruno chick? They're dating now. Super different from when we were kids too. Uchiha's turned into some sort of bastard-man-slut and Haruno thinks she's the hottest bitch in town just 'cos they're dating. It's funny 'cos he'll probably dump her in a couple of weeks. I know you guys were best friends till the end back then, but things have changed. I know you've changed a lot too."

Naruto was shocked at hearing what his brother had just told him. Sasuke was a man slut and Sakura was a bitch? AND they were dating? He couldn't believe it. He sat there quiet for a moment before turning to his brother to ask him a question. "Wait, what do you mean that I've changed a lot too. The only thing that's happened was that tattoo I got back in 7th grade. Mom and dad weren't too happy about it. After that my rebel days ended. And how do you know about Sasuke and Sakura? Are talking to Itachi again or something?"

Kyuubi just sighed at his brothers endless questions. "As if your rebel days have ended. I saw some Mary J in your bag, and some ciggs too. You know mom and dad won't like that. And yeah, me and Ita are talking again."

Naruto was quite. He didn't know how to answer his brother at first. "Well I, uh, um. GAHHH I don't know Kyuu. Mom and Dad know about me smoking. They were mad at first but they can't do anything about it anymore. The therapist actually thought that the marijuana might help me a bit so they don't really care. And am I going to see Itachi tomorrow when meeting your new friends? Will Sasuke be there too?"

By this time, Kyuubi had driven up to his apartment and turned off the car. "I wish you told me you started smoking. I hope you stop though. You used to tell me everything. Is there anything else you're hiding from me? And no, Itachi's busy tomorrow and I don't know about Sasuke. You'll probably only end up meeting Deidara, Sasori, and Hidan."

Naruto got out of the car and stalked up to his brother's apartment. "No, I'm not hiding anything else from you. Wait no, actually there is something." The younger brother inquired.

"Well what is it?" Kyuubi questioned.

"The only reason we came back to Konoha is because I got kicked out of school for fighting, other than that, you know everything." The blonde teen answered.

Kyuubi opened the door to his apartment and flicked the lights on. "Oh. So what started the fight?"

Blue eyes darkened and Naruto's hands clenched into fists. "I don't want to talk about it." Then he headed into the kitchen to make some food. His brother loved ramen just as much as he did so he didn't have to worry about starving when staying at his place.

The redhead just stayed quiet and went to his room. "Hey Kit, you sleepin' in my room or on the couch?"

Naruto came out of the kitchen with a cup of instant ramen and looked at his brother. "I'll crash on the couch I guess." Then he went back to slurping up his ramen.

Later that night, Naruto couldn't help but think about Sasuke and Sakura and what would happen when they saw each other again.
