The Legend Of Hinata: Flute Of Time

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from Naruto or The Legend of Zelda's plot. My sister owns the name Melimae, so don't use it until you talk to me.

It was about 8 in the Kokiri Forest. No one really knew if it was day or night, just that it was 8. They wouldn't have cared either. The villagers were little kids, all about 8, who could live forever as long as they didn't leave the forest. None of them ever did, so there was a lot of children, called Kokiris, running this village. They all lived in trees and built houses in remains of any trees in the village. The children's guardian was the Great Deku Tree, who protected them from the outside world. The Deku Tree allowed each Kokiri to have a fairy...all but one. This one was Naruto Uzumaki. These fairies and the Kokiri didn't want him to have one because he had a evil fox sealed in him. The Deku Tree believed that if Naruto was able to control his evil, he could have a fairy. "Besides," the Tree thought, "the world and I are in need of his help." He sent for a fairy named Melimae. "Melimae, it's time. Go to teh fairy-less boy!"

Now as the Tree sent Meli to Naruto, Naruto was having a horrible nightmare. He was standing in front of a weird castle he'd never seen before, and he was in the rain. As he stared, a horse sped past with a girl on it. She looked about 8, with short black-blue hair and pale purple eyes shaken with fear. Naruto watched this girl be taken away by an older looking woman when he saw the younger girl throw something at him, barely missing his head. It flew past, a small melody playing. Just as he turned to see what it was, a terrifying black horse ran over. This huge horse had an evil looking man riding it, and he was wearing all black. The man stared at little Naruto and knocked him flat out, laughing evilly. He saw the shadow of the man chase the girl...then lost total conscious-ness and blacked out.

Melimae was now in Naruto's house. "Wake up, lazy punk!" Naruto stirred, but soon began to whimper in his sleep. Now Melimae was mad. "WAKE UP, DUMMY!" She began to hit Naruto by flying into him. "Mm...? Are you...my fairy...?" Naruto asked, almost half aware of what he was saying when he opened his eyes. "Yep! Now get up, the Great Deku Tree wants a word with you!" He yawned and rubbed his eyes, then wandered over to the mirror in his room. His cheeks still had the whiskers etched in them, his blue eyes were still unsettled as always, his tunic was the same green it always was fro Kokiris, and his hair was spiked like it was every morning. Naruto sighed, reached for his matching green hat, and pulled it over his hair.

Naruto was still eating his breakfast when Melimae tipped it over. "Naruto, hurry! The Great Deku Tree is waiting!" The boy glared at his fairy. "I don't have to listen to you, especially since I don't even know your name." He carefully pulled on the leather boots and leather bracers he had for as long as he could remember. "So if you need me, I'll be with Kiba, training." Naruto began to climb down the ladder to his house when Sakura appeared, her pink hair behind her. "Naruto, I saw the news! You finally got a fairy?" Naruto groaned. "Yeah, and it's a pain in the butt." Meli came. "Hi, Sakura!" Sakura's big green eyes widened. "Melimae, is that you? Long time no see! Naruto, listen to her. Meli is a very smart fairy." She rushed into her house, right next to Naruto's. They were friends from birth, and they did almost everything together.

Meli was frantic now. "Naruto, we've wasted enough time already! GO SEE THE GREAT DEKU TREE!" He rolled his eyes, but walked to the trail to the Deku Tree. Once he got there, who else would appear but Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke was the tallest Kokiri and the girls liked him for his black hair and eyes. "Naru, YOU got a FAIRY?!" Naruto groaned, but nodded anyways. "And the Great Deku Tree wants him," Melimae said. "WHAT?! I can't believe it!" "Believe it, SASSY!" Naruto and Sasuke hated one another. They never got along, not even when they were with Sakura. Sasuke had a crush on her, but not a big enough one to befriend Naruto. Sasuke looked mad, but started smiling. "There have been monsters out there. You need a shield and sword." "WHAT?!" Naruto was outraged; it was near impossible to find a sword in the Kokiri Forest. He wanted to quit right then, but Meli stopped him.

Naruto looked at the shopkeeper, then over at the shield on the shelf. "Do you have any others?" Naruto asked hopefully. The boy shook his head. "Nope, that's the last one." The shield was wooden and had a red leaf painted on it. Naruto looked at the price...40 Rupees. "Man Melimae, that's most of my money," Naruto growled at the fairy. "Just get the stupid shield," the fairy said, getting sick of the boy's complaints. Naruto growled again, but slammed 40 Rupees onto the counter. "Thanks, Naruto. Here's your shield. It will burn if put near fire...but that's a no-brainer," the clerk said, handing Naruto the shield. It was light and just big enough to carry on his back if he tied the string it was on really tight. He became curious as he stepped out of the shop and whipped out his shield. It complied instantly and he began to play around with it. "Naruto, the sword," Melimae said in a dark voice. "Meli, it's near impossible to find swords here," Naruto said, pulling his shield back over his shoulder. "Too bad," the fairy answered.

Naruto searched all around the village, went into the Lost Woods (got lost), and even looked in the bushes, but didn't find a sword. "I give up!" Naruto screamed in disgust. "Wait Naruto, there's something here!" Meli was floating by a hole. "I've never been in there. Maybe there's a sword there," Naruto said, waiting for his blood to stop boiling over, then crawled in. On the other side was a maze that had huge boulders rolling in it. Naruto didn't see them until a boulder rolled over him. He began to run frantically, but the boulders followed him. Eventually, he reached a big chest the boulders didn't go near. Naruto shoved it open and literally jumped into the chest. "NO WAY! A SWORD!" He pulled out the Kokiri sword and sheathed it behind the shield. He then pulled it back out and swung it around a bit. "AL-RIGHT!" There was one thing...he forgot about the boulders. "OH GOD!" He ran as fast as he could, but ran in a circle. "MEH?!" After running in circles for an hour, Meli said, "Face it Naruto, we're lost!" Naruto looked around. "But that's really bad! No one knows we're here but the Know-it-alls, Shikamaru and Neji!" He began to run even more frantically, but got even more lost until he heard a song Sakura liked to play on her flute. "Sounds like Sakura knows we're here too." Naruto shrugged and followed the song, avoiding the boulders and crawling out of the maze.

Naruto ran back to where Sasuke was. "Get outta my way, Sassy!" Naruto shouted, shoving Sasuke to the side. "You aren't going anywhere until you get a shield and a sword!" Naruto glared at Sassy, pulled out his sword, and cut off the tip of his hat. "Let...me...through. DO IT, OR I'LL CUT OFF YOUR SHIRT SO YOU CAN BE ATTACKED BY THE GIRLS!" Naruto yelled menacingly. "OH MAH GAWD, DON'T YOU DARE! GO!" Sasuke said, moving aside. Giant plants immediately tried to eat Naruto as he walked toward the tree. He shrugged and slashed through the stems, killing them instantly, until he was face to mouth with the Deku Tree. "Meli, you are a good fairy." She giggled. Tension suddenly formed in the clearing. "I am going to tell you a tale, Naruto...Once, a long, LONG TIME AGO, there were three goddesses, Nayru, Din, and Farore. Well, back in the beginning of time, they had to fight a man of PURE EVIL, and after defeating him, they created the Triforce. The Triforce was a powerful object, capable of destroying the world if one wanted to. For some odd reason, the Gerudo man, Ganondorf, wants that power to do exactly that. You must protect the world, and after you help me here, you must go see Princess Hinata, the girl from your dreams."

Naruto nodded. "So...how do I help you?" The mouth opened in front of Naruto. "You must fight the monsters in me to get the Kokiri Emerald. It's crucial." Naruto took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and walked into the Deku Tree.
