I do not own Naruto.

I am going to rate this M because of later chapters.

Bold is dark Zetsu talking, Italics are thoughts.

Enjoy.

Chapter 1: Naming

I'm so tired that mission was a hard one. At least Tsunade-sama gave me a week off to rest up. I just have to stop by the market to get some groceries and then I'll head home. "SAKURA-CHAN!" Hearing the call Sakura turns to the voice. Smiling gently Sakura greeted her teammate, "Oh hey Naruto-kun."

Once Naruto had caught up with her they began walking down the street. Finally Naruto spoke up, "How was your mission?" Smiling once again Sakura answered with a shrug of her shoulders, "It went well. I'm just tired now."

With a bright smile Naruto told her, "Okay you go home and get some rest and I'll see you later." With a nod of the head Sakura agreed telling him bye, "Okay Naruto-kun bye." Naruto said bye as well while throwing his arm around her shoulders in a one armed hug of which she returned.

After leaving Naruto Sakura made her way to where the Haruno clan's main house was. After she entered the front gate she looked up to see a box sitting on her front steps. With a shrug of her shoulders once again she made her way to her home. Once there Sakura sat down her groceries on the step next to the box so she could look to see what was in the box. When she opened the box she saw eleven kittens staring at her with wide eyes. With a squeal Sakura picked up the box and put it in her house then went and got her groceries and put them away.

After putting away the groceries Sakura made her way back to where she left the box of kittens sitting by her front door. With a sigh she decided to start naming them starting with a little tabby that started to rub onto her hand that was hanging in the box.

Smiling brightly Sakura spoke to the kitten, "Ok you are too cute let's see if you are a boy or girl. Ok you're a boy let's see what to name you." The kitten was a tabby with brown eyes. Starting at the kitten and tapping her chin with her index finger Sakura continued to think of what to name the kitten she held. Once she came up with a name she pulled him to her face with a smile, "I know what to call you; your name will be Tora because you look kind of like a tiger." Tora purred at his name and Sakura sat him down with a pat on the head.

She then turned back to the box to pick up another kitten. That is until an orange kitten jumped out the box and started to rub on her leg while purring. With a giggle Sakura decided to name that one next, "Ok I guess I'll name you next. Another boy ok let's see you're very loving." The orange kitten looked at her with his green eyes. With a sigh Sakura said, "There is only one name I can think of for you Suki meaning love." The kitten purred and once she placed him on the floor he went and sat down beside Tora.

Sakura turned back to the box and immediately spotted a beautiful kitten that had blonde fur. She pulled that one out of the box while saying, "Ok your next you have got to be a girl with that pretty blonde fur and those big blue eyes. Oh I guess I was wrong you are a boy." The kitten just glared at her. Sakura huffed at the kitten, "Hey don't look at me like that. I think I'll name you Kin meaning gold because of your fur." Kin just hoped down and went over by the other two.

Reaching back into the box without looking Sakura grabbed another kitten hearing a hiss she turned to look at the kitten she grabbed. Glaring at the kitten Sakura said, "Ok you're a boy too and don't hiss at me. I'll name you Gin meaning silver like your fur." Gin just glared at her with his violet eyes. Sakura put him down next to the other three.

She looked in the box and picked a blue kitten with light blue eyes up out of the box, "Wow a blue kitten didn't see that coming. A boy as well I'll name you Mizu meaning water because your fur and eyes are the same color as water." Mizu just went over to the others.

Sakura picked up the kitten that seemed to be arguing with itself. It was another boy she examined him for a bit. This kitten was split right down the middle half white and half black with golden eyes. Finally coming to a decision she told the kitten, "I'll name you Heki meaning split because you seems to have a split personality." Heki smiled and jumped down with the rest.

Sakura then picked up the solid white kitten that had purple eyes. It was another boy she announced, "I'll name you Yuki meaning snow because your fur is as white as the snow." She sat Yuki down with the rest of the kittens.

Sakura went to pick up the one that's brown with black strips and green eyes and it hissed and tried to scratch her. "Alright you that's enough of that." She then proceeded to pick him up by the scruff of his neck. "You're a boy too so I'll name you Aoi meaning green because of your eyes." Aoi just glared at her when she sat him with the rest.

Sakura looked back into the box; she had three more to go. Picking up a blood red kitten with light brown eyes, she saw that it was a boy as well. "Another boy I'll name you Chi meaning blood because your fur is blood red." Chi just went to sit by the others.

She picked up the last two kittens, both of which were black; however, one had red eyes while the other had black. They both just glared at her. "Ok both boys. You're going to be Yoru meaning night because your fur is dark as night and those red eyes are just so pretty. You are going to be Kage meaning shadow because your solid black including your eyes." She sat them down with the rest of the kittens and stood up.
