Blur.
What Narumi saw now just blur. Her eyes can't see properly. Narumi remember that she was dead. She sacrificed her life for her friends and her precious people. She should seal Kaguya to the moon with her sun seal and moon seal in Sasuke. But, Sasuke died early before time to seal Kaguya came. So she used her forbidden seal.
Shiki Fujin.
The same seal that made her lost her father after seal Kyuubi into her. The same seal that her lost her grandfather figure in Sandaime Hokage after seal the deceased Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage. Then, she used it to seal Kaguya and lost her life forever. But then, should she meet with her parents isn't? But why she is here?
Look! Her eyes is so beautiful! She is absolute beautiful. Her hair is beautiful too like a sacred fire a symbol of courage.
That's what she heard. Look like she is born again and get new parents. Perhaps she is reborn into another dimension? Is this her second chance to life? Eh? Why she can't remember her previous parents name? She can remember their appearance but why she can't remember their name?
Ne, tsuma! What is her name?
Hm? How about Narumi?
Narumi? Yes! That's a beautiful name, tsuma. Ugetsu Narumi. How do you think about that?
Perfect! Ugetsu Narumi. Asari? This is Narumi your younger sister.
Really, oyaji?

After that, she just can see black.
Looks like she will had a new adventure after all.

Eight years later.
Now Narumi is nine years old. She grown up to be pretty little girl. She has finely textured red hair that seems burning with fire that reached her hip which mostly left unraveled. Part of her hair in right-left side of her tied in braid style with white ribbon. Pony in her forehead and thick chin-length hair. Her face shows some signs of naivety and displays elegance. Also a slender physique, soft skin, and tosca eyes like sea.
Her appearance is she always wear kimono dress. Long-sleeved white kimono combined with white kimono skirt to ankle, capped with a sleeveless red kimono but combined with a knee-length red kimono skirt with cleavage on the right-left side, black obi on her abdomen with red ribbon on the front, white knee-length stocking with red ornaments for decoration and white leather shoes with red embroidered on the bottom.
Narumi is biological daughter of Ugetsu family. But they are doesn't know why her appearance is so different with her family. Ugetsu family themselves has a son who has slightly difference a year with her. His name is Asari. Now Asari is ten years old.
Asari appearance is blue and white robe with a tall black hat - was worn by noblemen at the Imperial Court of Japan during the Heian era. He has black hair and dark eyes. He has an interest with sakuhachi, which is a Japanese flute. Other than that, he has an interest with sword.
Fortunately, their father can use sword even though just a little. So their father teach Asari in sword. They don't know that their little girl watch them practice with sword and imitate it. Just basic though. Then when Asari and Narumi (secretly) master it, they begin to develop it further.
Narumi has a friend from Korea. His name is Kim Eun Woo. But Narumi called him Unwo-kun. They become playmate. Eunwoo come to Japan with his family. Then when Eunwoo will comeback from Japan, Eunwoo give Narumi Haegeum as a gift. Haegeum is traditional stringed instrument from Korea.
Asari has sakuhachi as his interest instrument and Narumi has haegeum as her interest instrument. Asari often play with his flute and Narumi often play with her modification fiddle. Sooner later, they begin memorize the note on their instrument.
They not forget to practice with their sword. Asari do practice with one style while Narumi practice with two style. Asari do practice with bokken or wooden sword while Narumi do it with her flame.
Yes, flame. Narumi found that she can make flame. Orange flames to more precisely. She accidently made flames when she wanted to save little fox that in high branches of tree. Later when she found out, she began practice with it. She find her resolve on her sixth birthday and her flames burn with amazing purity.
But, one day…
Asari walked on the forest that not far from his home. In the morning after breakfast and helping mother, Narumi go out from home to play. Now Asari want to practice with his sword but not found a place to practice. Then he heard swinging sound and that make him stop. He hiding in the behind tree. Secretly, Asari take a look and surprised himself.
SWING. WOOSH. SWING. WOOSH. CLAK. CLAK. CLAK.
Asari can see Narumi swing her twin orange sword with amazing speed. Asari can see that Narumi so relax and look like dancing with her strange twin orange swords. Asari decide to come out from his hiding place. "Imouto, de gozaru?"
"Eh?"
Her strange twin orange swords gone and she is froze when she hear his brother voice. Narumi looked back to where Asari stood. Narumi face looked troubled while Asari remain calm.
"What are you doing earlier, de gozaru?"
"Emm…practice with my twin swords, aniki."
"And the strange twin orange swords is, de gozaru?"
"The strange twin orange swords is my swords, aniki."
"But, why the swords is orange, de gozaru?"
"I don't know, aniki. You know, I can make orange flames and yellow flames like this," said Narumi nervous with both her hands make orange and yellow flames. Asari inspected it with silent.
"Its beautiful, imouto. Can I do it too, de gozaru?"asked Asari excited. Narumi relaxed after hearing his answer. Then dispel her flames. Asari chuckled to himself when he saw his little sister relaxed.
"What? You afraid maybe I will be angry with you, de gozaru?"
"Of course, aniki!"
"And why is that, de gozaru?"
"You always patience person, aniki. So I don't know what will make you angry. I think what I'm doing will make you angry."
"I see. Then, don't do it again, de gozaru. Can you do it, de gozaru?"
"I will, aniki!"
"Then, can you teach your aniki to make that pretty flame like you imouto, de gozaru?"
"Yes, aniki! You must concentrate, aniki. Find your resolve then feel your flames."
"How does it feel, de gozaru?"
"I don't know, aniki. When I feel my orange flame, all I feel is like cocoon with warm blanket. Then on my yellow flame, I feel like cocoon with light blanket. Maybe yours is different, aniki."
"Hm…okay, I think I get it, de gozaru."
"Then, find your resolve, aniki."
"Resolve, de gozaru?"
"Yes, aniki. Like your will when you want to use flame."
"What is yours then imouto, de gozaru?"
"Ah I-I ca-can't tell you that, aniki!"
"And why is that, de gozaru?"
"So you will not imitate me, aniki. Sometimes, imitating not work because it doesn't fit with your belief."
"I see, de gozaru. I understand, de gozaru. Arigatou imouto, de gozaru."
"Your welcome, aniki. Then I will rest a bit while I watch you. How about that, aniki?"
"Sounds like good idea, de gozaru."
Narumi walked to a place under a shady tree. Then she sit in there. Asari himself try to concentrate well so that he can make pretty flame like his sister. Narumi herself eat some of her bento that she made before for her. But she will leave some of it because her brother maybe hungry later. Then Narumi feel sleepy when she look at her brother. Her eyes seems widened for a second and back to normal.
Narumi surprised because her brother seems success called his flames. His flame is so pretty. His is blue like water and had effect calm other people. Narumi smiled slightly because it seems her brother find his resolve because right now his flame burn brightly.

Five years later.
Now Asari is 15 years old and Narumi is 14 years old. Asari grown up to be stunning handsome young man in Japan. Later, he gain fangirls in Japan and many boy of his age admire him. While Narumi grown up to be most stunning beautiful young woman in Japan. Later, she gain fanboys in Japan and no matter civilian or noble, they are fall for her beauty. While many girl of her age jealous of her looks.
But they don't want to bullied her because she knows as Kayuriensō. Ka from kanji fire and yuri from kanji lily then we can find Kayuri as red lilies. Why red lilies? Because of her red hair and her stunning goddess beauty yet she looks dangerous because of her abilities in weapon. Of course when she is 10 years old, she ask her father to teach her to riding horse. Now she is can riding too. Asari has a hazelnut horse name Ameo and Narumi has a white horse name Akara.
Narumi mastered her sword about a few months ago. For her orange flame, she can make it as various type of weapon. But she preferred sword at the most. Of course, her second weapon is spear and bow but the arrow make with sword. For her yellow flame, she can make it a various shape like halo and slightly cannon.
As for her sealing, she just reach above average level. She can't seem concentrate to be able reach at master level early because she's not focused on her sealing. She seems to tomboyish because of her skill but when you look her appearance you will not believe it. Because she has a wondrous beauty that scarcely felt real. One thing that seems good with her looks was her cooking skill.
Her red hair passed her hips and part of her hair in right-left side tied braid style with white ribbon in the end. Her kimono is just same as many years ago just in different size.
Asari is mastered his sword too about a few months ago. For his blue flame, he can make it as his weapon for a while because he has no sword yet. His appearance is not changed a bit. Maybe the different is in his size now he is tall young man even if he is just 15 years old.
Now, she and her whole family facing problem…big problem…
Narumi sitting in her bedroom that seem close to the living room. Her ten fingers were playing with her long skirt kimono. As a sign that she is nervous now. She can heard there were her father and mother's voice and her brother's voice talking with an unknown persons.
"Now, what do you want from us?" this was her father's serious voice.
"Just want to know, Oji-san. Where is your daughter now?" a mocking voice which full of arrogant tone talking. But Narumi don't know he is.
"That's none of your business right, de gozaru?" this was a surprised for her. Since when was her cheerful and easy going brother can become so cold like this.
"Ah, easy, easy there, Asari-san. I just ask, right? I was curious though."
"Please to the point, Shinonome-san," this was her mother pleading.
"Okay, okay, oba-san. I want to take your daughter's hand for marry with me. How about that, hm?"
There was silence between them. Narumi held her breath for a while because of his statement which wanted to marry her. She know that she has a wondrous beauty that scarcely felt real and she has already reject many of propose to married her.
"No."
"What?"
"I said my sister will not marry you or any man out there. I can say this because her decision was also my decision, de gozaru," Asari said with serious and firm voice. Beside him, his father and mother sigh in relief mentally because their son said the reason.
"B-But-"
"No but, Shinonome-san. This was our final decision, de gozaru!"
"T-Then, one day, I will make her begged to me to marry her! Watch my word carefully, Asari! I will get your sister to marry me!" a rage voice made her slightly trembling in fear. She was afraid that he will make drastic deeds like kill her family. But then again, she has feeling that he can do it too. A moment, she feel that she can out from her bedroom. She walked to the living room and shifting the door.
"Aniki?" this seems to break the serious atmosphere in the living room. Asari is smiling now. Of course her father and mother too.
"What's wrong, Narumi-chan?" her mother pulling her to her embrace. She isn't reject it instead she pulling her mother in her embrace too. Later, her father and brother hug her and her mother.
"Was I'm going to marry Shinonome-san or not?"
"How much you hear that imouto, de gozaru?"
"Em…kind of all of it."
"You know, ojou-san. It's kind a rude to eavesdropping on another conversation, you know that already right, de gozaru?"
"Yes, aniki. Sumimasen deshita."
"Hai, hai. And the answer for your question earlier was not, imouto. De gozaru."
"Ah…yokata." Now is her time to sigh in relief. She don't want to marry a person like that. She will choose her love herself. Asari who saw this grinned and ruffled her beautiful red hair. "What? Are you thinking that I will let you marry a man like him, de gozaru?"
"Maybe?"
"Ah! My heart is hurt. My imouto think so low about her big brother. De gozaru!"
"Hmmph! It's because you always act so carefree and easy going like that, aniki! I think you are not notice his behavior at all!"
"Maa, maa. Hai, hai, Hime-sama. I beg your apologize, de gozaru."
Narumi giggling slightly because her brother apologize in joking way, "Hai, I will accept your apology, aniki. But don't do it again! Are you understand?"
"Yes, I'm sorry."
And they didn't know that this was the last time they hug together as a complete family.

If not even she is better than their mother. But their mother is so proud of her because of her skill in cooking. Asari and their father talked to each other.
"Asari?"
"Yes oyaji, de gozaru?"
"Can you promise me one thing, Asari?"
"What is it, de gozaru?"
"Protect your sister Narumi for us, will you Asari?"
"Eh?"
"I don't know, Asari. I just feel like… like… I and your mother will leave you and Narumi forever."
"Why would you think that, de gozaru?"
"JUST PROMISE ME, ASARI!" this was his surprised because his father never shouted like that. This make him serious just for a moment. "Yes, oyaji!

Asari has bad feeling this night.
'I hope my feeling is wrong.'
"Dinner is ready!"
In the kitchen. Narumi enjoy make dinner for them tonight with help of her mother. Her mother Shiori look at her daughter with proud and sad smile. Proud of her for being such an amazing young woman like her now and sad for unknown reason but she has feeling that she and her husband will leave their children alone. But she know that after that they will have rely to each other.

"And also…"

When the day come, make yourself blossom again and become a full blossom beautiful spider lily. Very amazingly beautiful yet look dangerous."

Asari and their father smile as they look to Narumi. She has a beautiful smile and in her hands she has a dinner that newly made. In the behind, their mother bring the rest. Asari and Hashira sit like a good boy because they are already starved. Narumi and Shiori laughed because they can see that they are hungry as well. After, all the food is neat in the table, Narumi and Shiori sit beside Asari and Hashira. They begin to grasping both of their hands to greet for eat in Japanese.
"Ittadakimasu!"
They begin to eat in peaceful way. Then they do dishes together. What they don't know was that this was the last time they do dishes together as a complete family.
All things went to hell after that.
*****IsaSaphira1804*****
Now, Asari riding his hazelnut horse Ameo with a few of his clothes and of course his flute while Narumi riding her white horse Akara with a few of her clothes and of course her haegeum. And food too. They both begin to riding very fast so that they will not be overtaken by their parent's killers. Tears freely flowing from Narumi's eyes.

I think this will be enough for chapter 1 right? I'm sorry if grammar not right or you confused with my English. At least, I try to write it with my hard work. This is my original story! I inspired from a love story between Minato and Kushina. Then, I've a weird obsession like make a main male character gender bender. Thus, female Naruto as Narumi born with appearance like Kushina then Giotto as Minato in this story.
So…
What do you think?
