Okay, I know I have enough stories in progress to make some people's heads spin, but I've been wanting to do this one for a while, so suck it! Besides, my muse for other stories is lost for a while...
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that is Naruto related; I only own the plot and my own characters (BTW, I'm not going along with either the anime or the manga; it's going to be kind of a high school thing...)
Have fun reading!
Broken
Chapter 1
I sighed, wondering when the hell I would get out of this stupid class. My math teacher, Ms. Brike (pronounced bree-kay), was trying to get the class to pay attention to quadrilateral formulas before Christmas break. Yeah, that's not going to stick in our heads for long. I glanced at the clock, using the pause in taking my notes to see if we were any where close to getting out.
The bell rang just as I looked up, seeing 3:20 flashing back at us happily. "Have fun! And remember your study guide!" I don't think that all of us caught what Ms. Brike said, but I didn't want to fail, so...
I was grinning from ear to ear to one of my best friends as we both walked out of our classes. She stretched, sketchbook in hand, as she said, "Well, it's about time!"
"I know, right?" I shifted the messenger bag to my other shoulder, eventually getting out my own sketchbook. "So, what are you going to do over Christmas break?" I asked, turning to one of my unfinished pictures. I grinned, seeing the almost finished wolf on said page.
I could see Catharine, the friend that I was walking with, shrug her shoulders. "We're probably going to go to Michigan; not much else to do anyways." I nodded, looking out of one of the windows that looked out over the bus lot. I searched for my other friends, but I didn't see them. "Hey, I gotta go; my sister is picking us up today."
"Alright," I said. "Say hey to the others for me, would you?" We waved at each other, quickly going to where we needed to go. I pushed through the crowd, looking for my escort home. I came upon a squealing set of girls, surrounding my poor escort. "Oi, move it!" I yelled, pushing past some of the girls and guys there hugging my scared Husky, Blank. "Get away from him!"
I sighed, finally glad that they cleared the way so that I could go home. I looked down at my hyperactive Husky, grinning in reply to his grin. "Well, want to go home, boy?" He made this 'woo-woo' sound, jumped around me, and trotted off, probably expecting me to follow. "Be glad I love you, you stupid adorable husky." I said to myself, running after Blank.
It was always so much fun to run around with my friend, especially on the weekends when I have no where to go and I have no homework. "Come on, Blank, hurry up!" I said, looking back at him in the middle of the road. He yipped, running next to me, seeming to grin up at me. I then heard several honks coming from the left of me, so I turned, like the idiot I am, and was hit head on by a semi.
I lied on the street, Blank sniffing me and whining, trying to get me up. It was getting hard to breath now, and each breath that I succeeded with, hurt me immensely. "Call the ambulance, hurry!" I could hear someone yell that, somewhere far off in the distance, but it didn't seem to be important.
Everything was fading in and out now, including Blank, in which scared me greatly. I'm not going to die, am I? I love Blank too much to leave him in the streets again, not after everything he did for me. With that thought, I started to struggle.
It only made things worse. I felt myself give out a moan of pain.
'You will live.' Darkness crept into my increasingly fading vision. 'Go to sleep, my pup, for things will be better in the morning.' Her voice was so kind, so sweet...
The black finally took a hold of my tired body, leaving the rest of the world to wonder if I was alive or not.
"So, what are we going to do today?" I said, completely bored out of my mind an hour after school was let out for Christmas break. My eyes slid over to Akamaru, who was trotting along next to me, when he stopped, cocking his head to the side. "Hey, guys wait," I was walking with my friends (Shino, Choji, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Neji, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Ten-Ten, Deidara, Itachi, Kisame, Pein, Sasori, Kakuzu, Konan, Zetsu, and Hidan) at the moment. "I think Akamaru found something..."
"Is it interesting?" Naruto asked. He was bored and messing with his iPod, looking for something interesting to listen to.
"I don't know, why don't you-"
'Help us.' I swear that everyone froze upon hearing that woman's voice. Silence before, "I'm not the only one who heard that right?" Naruto said, a little shaken up. Akamaru barked and dashed off into an alleyway a little ahead of us. 'Help us, please.'
"Akamaru, wait!" I started to chase after my dog, hoping to high heaven that he wouldn't get hurt. I heard my friends sigh and several footfalls following me. Once I turned into the alleyway, I could see Akamaru's tail dash down another corner, almost making me growl in frustration. 'Hurry, please.' Who are you is what I wanted to ask whenever I see this person first hand.
"Are you kidding me?" I snapped out of it when I heard Ino's voice voicing her anger. I looked to see two dog-like animals; one breathing heavily with scratches and bruises everywhere, the other one seemed to communicate with Akamaru. Akamaru nodded, then trotted back over to me and yipped softly. I knelt down in front of him. "What is it boy?"
He grabbed onto my sleeve and tried to drag me over to the injured dog-like creature. 'Will you help her?' I looked around, but didn't see anybody whom the voice could belong to. It was when I stared at the standing dog-like creature that I finally understood.
"You're the one who's been asking us to help?" The creature nodded her head. "Are you asking us to help her?" I said, nodding my head to indicate the near-dying animal near her. She once again nodded. 'Call me Blank, and please hurry,' She looked down at the pup in what seemed to be an affectionate gesture. 'She needs help.' I carefully picked up the injured pup and got help from Shino.
"So, can we all hear?" I asked the following creature. I honestly didn't know what else to call her, for I've never seen her type of creature before; bright blue eyes like Naruto's eyes, a large strong build, and gray, black, and white fur that indicated her breed was used to cold regions. 'Yes, you all can, but I can direct my thoughts to one person if I wish.' Okay, one question answered.
"What are you?" Sakura asked, looking curiously at Blank. I was actually going to ask that question next... 'In your world, I am known as a demon.' Everyone jumped away from her at that. She seemed to roll her eyes before continuing with, 'But in her world, I am a friend and a playmate, a pet, and she calls my breed a husky in her world.'
"You're not going to kill us, are you?" Shikamaru asked as we arrived in front of the animal clinic. He was nonchalant about it, but I knew him really well, so I knew that he was wary of the demon named Blank. She seemed to give us a look that seemed to say 'idiots.' 'Why would I want to? You have done nothing to me nor my pup, and I'm pretty sure that we would both like to keep it that way.'
Lovely, a hidden threat. "Will she be alright?" Naruto asked, looking at the table that the other female - also a husky, I'm guessing - was laying on. One of the doctors came up to her with a needle and inserted it. The female emitted a whining type of noise before settling back into her darkened sleep. The doctor came back in and looked directly at Naruto as he asked that question.
He sighed and took off his glasses. "Be glad that you found her in time. I'm pretty sure that if you didn't, the poor thing would've died from blood loss and maybe a concussion. She seems to be fine for the most part though, so be proud of yourselves here." He smiled softly and went through one of the other doors when someone called for him.
Everyone slightly relaxed (those that show emotion, anyways) at the news, most of them wondering why they cared about the mystery animal.
"Is she your actual child?" Itachi asked, eyes scanning the entire room. Blank shook her head. 'Literally, no, but she is my pup in a figurative sense.' There was a pause, and then, 'I want you all to take care of her.' All of us looked at Blank, probably wondering if she was kidding or not. 'She does not know your world, and she needs help to understand that she's not... herself anymore, in the physical sense.' What the hell does she mean by that?
"Where are you going?" Gaara's deep voice alerted me to the... disappearing Blank? What? 'Home, technically, but I'll always be watching.' Then she just vanished. I scratched my head, wondering at all of the craziness.
"This is weird." Temari shook her head. "A... husky? Is that what she called herself?... Comes out of nowhere, asks for our help and also asks us to watch over her 'pup.' I could also swear that she used 'our world' in answer to our questions." She sighed.
We're in for one hell of a ride, I thought to myself, rubbing Akamaru's head. "This is a waste of my time." I looked to see that Sasuke was getting up, but was quickly tackled by a gray and blur before he could even make two steps. Sasuke was lying on his back, staring up at the previously unconscious husky eying him as if he was some piece of meat.
"Great, the stupid dog tackled me." A loud growl came out of the pup at Sasuke's comment. She batted him in the head and then jumped off, sitting down next to Gaara, glaring at the Uchiha. "Ow..." He said, rubbing the bump on the side of his head. He glared right back at the husky, probably wondering in how the hell she was able to move that fast.
So, my muse is kaput at the moment, so this is something to help me along; that, and the idea wouldn't leave me alone so it's now here on fanfic *sigh* I swear my brain comes up with these things way too much...
But I enjoy it ^.^
Please review! I would like opinions on how I did with this Naruto fanfic XD
