Ahoy! This is my first fic, which I'm unsure, yet eager to get out there:3
Oh ya, disclaimer. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, not making money, don't own anything 'cept plot, bla bla bla.
Warning: I swear like a sailor, so does this story. Are we clear? Also, this is Naruto, there's going to be violence..
Okay so enjoy!;D
"That's the third mission this week you have failed to carry out successfully, Kira!" Tsunade yelled angrily at me, slamming a stack of papers down onto her desk. I kept my head down, eyes fixated to the floor. 'I should at least try to feel bad about it' I thought, yawning mentally in my head. A curtain of my crimson red hair covered my eyes so she couldn't see the almost-humour in them. I fiddled with the hem of my jounin jacket, unconsciously tugging and pulling at it.
"Oh, and look at these!" she continued to yell, throwing three pieces of crumpled paper in my direction with more force than any normal person would have. I caught the balls with ease, smoothing the paper out and scanning over the words carefully.
"50,000 yen for the destruction of a local bar in between the villages of Iwagakure and Takigakure! She cried.
"I didn't mean for it to be completely destroy-"I began.
"80,000 yen for destroying a historic clock tower in the village of Ishigakure"
"I was thrown into it! It came down on its own accord."
"100,000 yen for the burning down of a dozen houses in Kusagakure"
"It was just a forest fire that got out of hand!"
"And look at all these complaints!" She complained, pulling a file out from absolutely nowhere and reading the contents of it. The name Kitamura Kira was on it in thick, red font.
"Ordering a full course meal then leaving without paying"
"I left my wallet at home..."
"Stealing kegs of sake from the local bars in Konohagakure"
"What, you expect me to go shopping for it?"
"Knocking out several civilians because they were 'annoying you' as you put it"
"They deserved it, rotten little-"
"Breaking in and sleeping in strangers houses"
"I can't remember where my house is!"
"Punching an important clan leader in the face!"
"That was ages ago! But it was worth it, he was an asshole." I looked up, grinning apologetically and scratching my head sheepishly.
"It's not funny, Kira!" Tsunade snapped, slamming her hands down onto her desk and rising to her feet, wiping off any fake grin that was plastered on my face.
I tried to avoid looking into Tsunade's eyes and focused on looking around the room. I noticed that her little secretary wasn't in sight so it meant that it was a fully confidential meeting.
I guess this is it. I thought dully before turning back to face the evil wrath of Tsunade. There's a saying for this, isn't there? You reap what you sow. I think that's right. Yup, I guess that if I hadn't of done any of that stuff in the first place I wouldn't be here, looking death straight in the eyes... and by death I mean Tsunade.
"I don't know what to do with you anymore, Kira..." Tsunade began.
"Then don't do anything! I can take care of myself, Tsunade. I'm a jounin, ex-anbu member in case you didn't notice." I butted in, pressing my hand onto my right shoulder where my anbu tattoo was inked into my skin.
"Yes that's the problem! What happened, Kira? You used to be one of the best, advancing in everything there was to advance in! You suddenly quit your job as an anbu member and become... well that!" she exclaimed, gesturing at my body.
Ha-ha... yes. What happened again? Oh, I remember now. It was when-
"I guess I have no choice" Tsunade interrupted my thoughts.
"Hmm?"
"I'll just have to dismiss you fully as a ninja altogeth-"
"Tsunade-baa-chan!" An obnoxious voice interrupted Tsunade as the door flung open to reveal a small blonde-haired kid dressed in an eye-hurting orange coloured suit, and the bluest eyes I'd ever seen.
An anger mark appeared on Tsunade's forehead whilst she held up her clenched fist and muttered 'Naruto'
I guess that was who the boy was... wait a minute...
'Was she just about to dismiss me as a ninja?' I thought, shocked. I clenched my fist, feeling anger rise up inside me. How could she?
I was interrupted from my thoughts as the Hokage punched the orange-wearing boy into the floor.
"Can't you see I'm having an important meeting?!" Tsunade screamed, almost frothing from the mouth. I inwardly shivered. Scary.
"I'm so sorry, Hokage-sama. He just ran straight through the security you have outside. I couldn't stop him." A lazy voice said from outside the door.
'Now I know I've heard this voice before' I thought, smirking to myself.
A man appeared through the doors of the Hokage's office. The usual jounin outfit, spikey, grey, gravity-defying hair, and a mask covering a good portion of his face. Not to mention the naughty orange book held between his fingers.
Kakashi fucking Hatake.
"Naruto, you can't just barge into the Hokage's office. She's having an important meeting with..." He looked up, meeting my gaze.
"Kira?"
"Sup Kakashi?" I asked, smiling.
He was frozen. I could probably guess his thoughts, actually. Something along the lines of 'Where's she been for the past few years?'
At this moment blonde haired jumpsuit boy decided to re-appear from the hole in the ground and turn to face me.
"Kakashi-sensei, who's she?"
Ha-ha yes. Who am I, indeed?
The country of Amegakure was always a good meeting place. Nobody really thought much of it. It wasn't one of the larger villages which had a great number of shinobi living in it, yet it wasn't the smallest of the countries. Not to mention it was connected to the 3 larger countries of Konohagakure, Sunagakure and Iwagakure which made it great for travelling to and from. Yes, Amegakure was a pretty good meeting place in Pein's opinion.
"Have you located the girl?" Pein's deep voice echoed throughout the cave, his eyes narrowing on the group of shinobi surrounding him, astral projection flickering slightly.
"We believe-"Started a gruff voice.
"No. No 'I believe' or 'I think'. This is vital. Do you know?" Pein's sharp tone cut off the speaker.
"Well it's hard to locate her. She wears no hitai-ate. Even if she does, we have yet to see it." Another voice stated, almost sheepishly.
"So? Do you know where she is?" Pein's voice got louder as he spoke. He was getting impatient.
"She is taking refuge in the country of Konohagakure. We also believe that this is her home."
A different figure stiffened slightly.
"Itachi. Do you know of her? This Kitamura Kira?
Pein's astral projection passed him a card with a photo of a pretty red-haired woman, with violent, violet eyes.
The figure now known as Itachi looked up at his leader, his blood-red eyes boring into Pein's Rinnegan ones.
"...Yes." Itachi spoke monotonously.
Pein sighed, squeezing his eyes shut before opening them again.
"Itachi, Kisame. Collect her. Bring her back here. I don't care how long it takes, just don't waste time." Pein declared, his eyes shifting from Itachi to Kisame.
"Yes Leader-sama" the two shinobi spoke in unison.
Then they were gone.
Pein's eyes scanned over the other shinobi as if he was reading them.
"Dismissed."
Then there was nothing.
"Kitamura Kira, nice to meet cha, kid!" I exclaimed, grinning widely, sticking my hand out for him to shake.
Might as well make a good impression..
"Uzumaki Naruto! I'm going to be the next Hokage, dattebayo!" he replied, shaking my hand with more force than necessary.
I have a feeling that being even friendly with this kid is going to be hard work. I sighed inwardly.
I turned back to Kakashi, who's 'eye' was still glued to me. I'm guessing his mouth would be agape if he didn't have his mask on...
"What, no hello?" I asked, fake pouting.
Suddenly, I was engulfed into a bear hug by said shinobi. I grinned, squeezing him back with the same force.
Then he let go, looking into my eyes. He looked kinda angry. No wait... he doesn't. He looks fucking furious.
"Where have you been? Do you know that it's been four whole years since I've heard from you? You basically disappeared off the face of the earth!" Kakashi's hysterical voice made me wince. I felt kinda bad about leaving him. He was my best friend. Still would be if I would have bothered to keep in touch. Damn, I'm a terrible friend.
"You know, here and there. Around..." I trailed off, scratching my head as if I was remembering something.
"I've never actually seen Kakashi-sensei hug somebody before." Naruto's small voice reached my ears. I turned to him, grinning once again. Wow, I grin a lot. I'll probably need mouth surgery after all this grinning and shit.
"Well he's my best friend, I'd be quite upset if he didn't hug me!" I yelled, placing my hand on the top of Kakashi's head, messing up his already-messy hair. Haha, I love Kakashi's hair. It's the best.
"WHAT?! HIS BEST FRIEND?!" Naruto basically screamed his head off.
What a loud kid.
"I'd like to think so, yes. Although I don't think he likes me at all right now..." I pondered, taking my hands out of Kakashi's hair and placing them on the back of my head, as if holding it up.
"We'll have to catch up sometime. I can see you have a lot of questions. Meet me tomorrow at the Ramen place, kay?" I asked, smiling.
He nodded. I turned back to Tsunade.
"What did you want to say, Ho-ka-ge sa-ma? I asked, stretching the syllables out. She grumbled a few colourful words whilst picking all the paper carrying bills that I- She owed people.
"Nothing. Get out of here. Go." Tsunade snapped, pointing towards the door which was wide open due to Naruto's entrance. I turned and headed for the door.
Bingo! With Naruto and Kakashi there she can't dismiss me as a ninja I thought happily to myself, walking out the door with a skip in my step.
"Oh I almost forgot!" I said, turning back to face Naruto.
"Nice to meet you, Naruto Uzumaki!" I exclaimed, winking at Naruto, watching him turn a few shades red.
"Uh... yeah. You too!" He replied hastily. I laughed, walking away from the three shinobi.
Well I almost got dismissed as a ninja, met a new friend, met and old friend, and got away without paying zilch for my bills that I owe to several different countries. Yeah, life is good.
Walking down the windy streets of Konoha, I stopped as I realized something.
"Where the fuck am I staying?"
"It sure was nice of you to let me stay here, Kakashi! At least I don't have to sneak into other people's houses to find refuge every night." I exclaimed happily.
"What?" Kakashi asked, eyeing me suspiciously.
"Nothing" I waved him off, dropping several shopping bags full of groceries and clothes onto the floor, as I released my grip on the handles.
Just like Kakashi to play the nice guy, giving me somewhere to stay and all that. I thought, rolling my eyes. Kakashi is so great.
"Your bedroom is down the hall and to your left. You can put all your stuff in there. Unless you'd like to share my bed?" Kakashi asked, eyes lighting up at the thought.
'SMACK'
"Apparently not then..." Kakashi grumbled, helping me lift all the shopping bags into the spare bedroom.
The bedroom was nothing special. Walls were white, floor was brown. The usual colour of a bedroom without any decoration.
It's missing something... I thought dully. My eyes scanned the room, trying to think of what could brighten the room up in any way, shape, or form. My eyes lingered on the window, showing the peaceful village of Konoha from indoors. But that wasn't it. I was more focused on the window ledge...
I snapped my fingers. Got it.
I took a summoning scroll out of my black rucksack which was hanging loosely off my shoulder. Making some hand signs, the scroll poofed to show a small, green cactus, neither too big nor too small. I smiled, placing it onto the window sill muttering a quiet 'Perfect'. I loved cactus'. They provided me with this sense of... comfort.
I turned back to Kakashi nodding a thank you. He just did that stupid one-eyed smile thing back. Kakashi left the room, closing the door behind him with a small 'click'. As soon as the door clicked shut I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding, flopping face-down onto the squishy double bed.
Okay so let me introduce myself.
My name is Kitamura Kira. I can't remember what it means, so don't ask. I have the worst memory ever. I am 18 years of age. Current Jounin, ex-anbu, of Konohagakure. I was an only child to my parents who are diseased. Diseased as in dead. Yup, pushing up daisies. Don't worry though, they served the village nicely and died fighting. I think. I was only 9 at the time, so I don't really remember.
I have long, dark red hair which is slightly wavy although I keep it up a lot of the time. Today is an exception since the Hokage likes it down, and whatever makes the Hokage happy, saves my ass from getting kicked. I'm about 5'7 which is pretty average for someone like me. My eyes are a violent purple, with the occasional specks of blue in. I'm not going into a description about my body, forget it, although I'd like to think that I had a healthy shape going on.
My attitude was quite bitchy when I wanted to be, but all in all I was quite a decent person. I never really got attached to anything. Not people, places, anything really.
Except one person.
I gritted my teeth, shaking my head. No. I wasn't going to think about that. I promised myself.
Sighing, I picked myself up from the bed, before getting under the covers and falling back down again. Wow, i was exhausted. Ah who cares, I was up all night anyway sorting all my stuff out and trying to find my apartment. Yeah, it's still 'missing'.
My eyes finally caved into the exhaustion. I feel into a dreamless sleep almost instantly.
Yay, I did it! I conquered my... uh.. not fear, per-say, nervousness? And uploaded this.
Please rate, review, comment, and tell me what you think! Constructive criticism is welcomed, of course. Just none of that nasty stuff.
