Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or song fragments.

Summary: A young Naruto stumbles upon a young songstress who introduces him to the greatness of music. The expressiveness and lethal weapon it can be, might just have sparked a new interest. A smart but not godlike Naruto. Harem!

Harem: Anko and Yugao and there will be others. There may be more later on but there won't be a large number hopefully. There will be lemons but I will let you know when they are coming up and if you wish to skip them, you won't lose any valuable information.

The Foxtrot: The Worlds a Ballroom

A small blond haired child was slowly limping down a dark, deserted alleyway towards his shit heap of an apartment. After yet another mob attack, Naruto was looking a little rough with his blood caking the sides of his left arm and leg. He sustained a blow to the head that made his world spin ever so often and was leaking blood slowly down his face. This wasn't the first time it happened, in fact it happened so many times from random people that he lost count to how many times he was brutally attacked from year to year. Some were more violent then others and luckily there weren't any shinobi in the last mob attack and he was able to walk back to his home. The thought of the apartments beat down halls and smoke stained walls made the boy inwardly chuckle when he compared his home to others that hes seen.

Why they assaulted him? He didn't know why an he didn't care anymore. He felt himself getting stronger with every failed attempt to take his life or any near death state they put him in. He wanted to be a ninja so getting stronger was required even if this kind of training was unwanted, as long as he survived or wasn't crippled it was still training. He wondered what the villagers would do if they found out the 'demon' was getting stronger because of their attacks.

As he limped from ally way to ally way he heard a voice off in the distance that was coming from a park. It wasn't really much of a park, just a few trees and a pond in a big opening. Without anything fun to do other then sit in his apartment and mope about how his life sucked he decided to see where the voice was coming from. His injuries were already starting to heal so other then the blood smirked on him you wouldn't even know he was attacked in a few minutes. The further he went towards the voice the more the voice became angelic and it seemed to put him in a trance that compelled him to seek out the singer. He felt obligated to follow the trail as the voice got louder and louder.

As Naruto emerged from in between the buildings, the sound lead him to the park that was near the marketplace in Konoha. Now being this close to the marketplace was dangerous since whenever he walked by a store owner always yelled at him for stealing and he would end up on the receiving end of 'righteous punishment'. At this late in the night there wasn't many people out and about so he felt somewhat safe to simply walk through the park but he was always looking about for the random drunk who escaped from one of the bars. He followed the trail of gravel through the park and kept following the voice towards the pond. The voice singing was so clear, he was almost asking himself if he was going crazy finally and that this shit was all in his own head. It honestly wouldn't surprise him if the hit he took to the head earlier effected him a little more then he thought. As Naruto approached the pond deep in thought about his state of mind, he failed to realize the singing had stopped.

A small slender hand touched his shoulder causing him to gasp and stumble forwards before getting his barring and spinning to see his attacker. He prided himself on his great senses for his age and he couldn't even pick up one little hint that a person was behind him. He looked at the offender and notice it was only a little girl and not a drunk. The girl was a few inches smaller then himself and had straight black hair the cascaded down to her lower back. She was thin with piercing, dark green eyes and a swirl of brown throughout them that gave off an exotic vibe. She had perfect features as for as he could tell, her skin looked like it glowed in the moonlight. She was extremely cute compared to most of the kids his age even if he didn't go around checking out girls, she just stood out more then others. She just looked at him and tilted her head a bit and smiled. It wasn't a halfhearted and forced smile he was use to getting whenever he was with the old man but a real genuine smile meant for him and only him. He was pretty sure she was from another village or else he would have noticed the girl before.

"Uhh...Hi...I'm Naruto... and who may you be?" Naruto stuttered out. He couldn't help but be edgy around anyone he didn't know. Keeping a sizable safe distance from her he held out his hand. Common manners where to be followed when introducing himself to another, or so the old man said.

"Heya! I'm Moka, thought most call me the songstress because I love to sing." She shook his hand with vigour and pouted as Naruto couldn't help but grin. She was even cuter when she pouted and her bubbly nature was a rare amenity he rarely gets from others. The only other person he actually gets to see such a personality was from the secretary in the old mans office. Just as the thought crossed his mind he blushed slightly that was luckily unnoticed, her voice wasn't any less heavenly out of song.

"What were you doing before? I couldn't help but come follow your voice. You can sing really well."

"Well duh, there's a reason I'm called the songstress. Though I think I used a little too much chakra for practice if you heard it. No one was in the park when I started and I didn't plan on making it loud." She scratched the back of her head as hid eyes widened. If she used chakra then she must be a ninja but she only looked to be about his age and she couldn't be in an academy.

"You're a ninja? How can you use chakra at your age?"

"I'm not a ninja yet, as you can see I don't have a headband but yes I can use my chakra. There are a lot of ninjas out there that were trained from early age. My mother decided it would be best if I could protect myself, but I'm still learning the basics. Chakra can be molded and used in so many different ways. I'm learning how to control people and their senses but my mother can call and control things and well as enhance other ninjas fighting skills." Moka was in complete lecture mode but it wasn't wasted on the blonde as he absorbed it all like a sponge. He never would have guessed there were ninja that used music to fight with since it didn't seem lethal.

"Wow, that's so cool! Do you think you can teach me something like that?" he begged with his knees on the ground and his hands together like he was praying to the gods to make her say yes.

"Well my mother and I are leaving in a few weeks but I'll be glad to have some company if you think you got what it takes to learn by ear. I'm still a beginner myself so I can't really teach you all that much." Truth be told, she wanted to spread the word of the power of music but most just laugh it off as a sad attempt. Music just didn't have the same appeal a shiny new kunai had. "Meet me here tomorrow morning and we can start then, I have an extra flute you can start with if you'd like but that's about all I can do for you."she gave another little pout at the end but it readily disappeared and a smile took its place when she thought about spreading the joys of music, and with a boy no less.

"For sure! I'll see you tomorrow then!" The blonde raced off to his home as fast as he could. His small wounds all completely healed but he noticed he was still in his bloody clothes. Why didn't that scared the girl off and how could she act so calm about seeing a person like he was?

Just as was planned, the two practised day after day and by the end of Moka's stay, she was astounded that he was able to pick up and play so well. He just listen to whatever she played and he was able to copy it in a few try's but without using chakra. It seemed like it was born to be an musician which made her kind of sad and happy that he might past her. He wasn't able to use his chakra to enhance his skills yet but that would have to wait until the academy for that aspect. For what it was worth, she was sure he wouldn't just see music as a passing phase and forget about it later on. She picked up a lot about Naruto's personality when as she spent time with him and he wasn't the type to be half-ass on something.

The few weeks they had, they spent every day together and both enjoyed the time they spent together immensely. Either playing music in a secluded area or going out to eat, mostly at someones favourite ramen shop because that was the only place he was served at normal price. The two had their fun as all kids should by playing music with the infamous genin killer: Tora the beastly cat. As they played, the cat always heard the music and wondered over to the pair and just sat there, actually moving its head back and forth while listening to the music. Naruto of course had a massive laughing fit the first time he seen it and Moka couldn't stifle her giggles either. Playing music had its perks and being a wild animal tamer as Naruto put it was one of them.

Naruto was glad for the most part to have a friend but whenever the two went to get food, the villagers would glare at him and the girl with him much to his disapproval. One time he even heard a few calling her the "demon's bitch." After hearing that, he instinctively ran up to the man who said it and gave him the hardest punch he could muster. The villager didn't see it coming and was knocked off his feet and forced into the wall.

Without any hesitation, Naruto grabbed the neck of his shirt and whispered in his ear the only thing he can think of. If they said he was this demon, why not use it to scare the man? "Next time to say anything about her, I'll feed you to the demon your oh so scared of... got it?" Man was scared? Check. So were the other villagers around them watching the event unfold and the 'demon' attack another.

Later that day he and Moka were called to the Hokage tower to explain his actions. Once he did the old man just burst out laughing muttering phrases like "He deserved it." One the old man got over the laughing fit he did give him a lecture about how he wasn't a demon and not to lightly joke around it or attack anyone. Provoking them wouldn't do any good and instead just come to him and he will handle it. Anyone who breaks the decree would be severely punished and in some cases killed depending on the amount of information they spouted out.

As Naruto and Moka left, they went to his apartment to grab two small cups of instant ramen, which the girl found just as delicious as himself and could almost eat as much of it as he could and by the time they finished their meals, it was getting dark outside.

Naruto noticed the time and spoke up. "Hey Moka-chan, its getting dark out so we should probably get you home. Come on I'll walk you home." Just as he turned to the door and started walking, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and a body pushed against his back.

"You know since I'm leaving tomorrow... do you think I could stay here tonight?" her voice was low and quivering compared to her normal strong willed voice that Naruto came accustomed to. He knew she was worried about leaving tomorrow and he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"You can stay here if you want. I'll use the couch and you can have the bed, ok Moka-chan?" he replied slowly into her ear. After giving her a big hug she looked up and smiled at him, giving her nod as she walked towards the bedroom.

Stopping as she passed under the door frame, she turned back to him. "Thanks Naruto-kun. I'll see you tomorrow, and maybe I'll make you pancakes."

Naruto stood by the gate watching the two figured get smaller and smaller. After there goodbyes were said and Moka and her mother started walking away, he stood and watched to two walk down the dirt path. He was feeling down and was going to miss her immensely because he won't be able to spend time with the girl he came to admire so much and talk to him but he couldn't help but smile at what she said when she left.

"Don't worry Naruto-kun, we'll see each other again and you better be really good with that flute when I come back or I'll have to beat some sense into you because its our job to show the ninja world what music can do."

The smaller figure off in the distance turned around and gave a big wave to him. As he waved back new goal came into his mind. He was going to give his all into music and keep up with Moka. He wouldn't just focus on a flute or singing, he wasn't to use a wide range of instruments and be sure to surprise her when she comes back.

"I won't let you down Moka-chan. Let's let our music take the world by storm, we'll make the world our ballroom."
