Chapter 1: The Black Haired Girl

A blond haired boy sat in a tree resting. He was thinking about his day, so far, it was all right. It was a sunny, hot, quiet day, no one was playing around like he usually did, but instead they were training. It was a usual thing for everyone, well now it was. Ever since they had gotten teams all they did was train. The boy jumped down from the tree and walked over to the bridge where a pink haired girl stood, waiting for their teacher. "He still isn't here?" The blond asked as he put his hands behind his head.

The pink haired girl shook her head. "We've been here ever since six in the morning, and now it's…" she looked at her watch and glared at it. "It's twelve in the afternoon. I'm going to kill him." She crossed her arms and muttered something about teachers, but then looked at the blond and asked, "For once you were here early, is there an occasion?"

"It's my birthday," the blond replied as he sat down on the railing of the bridge. "I'm turning thirteen today."

The pink haired girl smiled. "Happy birthday Naruto!" She said as she came up to him and hugged him. "It's just I don't have anything for you." A frown engulfed her smile. "I'm sorry."

Naruto shrugged. His blue eyes were upset, but then they smiled as they usually did before she saw it. "It's alright." He told her as he hugged her back and then let go. "I don't really mind, Sakura. I don't do anything special anyway."

Sakura's smile appeared again as she pulled away from him. "I know!" Sakura said. "Sasuke and I will take you to eat somewhere, okay?"

Naruto waved his hands in front of him in protest. "You don't have…"

A grunt was heard from behind Sakura. A black haired boy with brown eyes glared at Naruto. "We will take you," he told Naruto in an icy voice. His eyes changed, into shingarin. "Because it's your birthday."

Naruto kept himself from shaking. He still couldn't stand it when Sasuke's shingarin appeared. He could still remember the day that Sasuke and him fought. He couldn't stand it and didn't want to see it ever again, yet he never told Sasuke he couldn't stand it. "Fine, I'll go."

A puff of smoke appeared behind Naruto, off the bridge and on the water. "I'm surprised to see you three," a silver headed man said. His mask covered up three quarters of his face to where only an eye showed. "Didn't I tell you three that I had a mission? I swore I told you three. Anyway, I guess since you three are here you can go train…"

"YOU"RE LATE!" Sakura and Naruto yelled at the same time. Sasuke covered his ears, but nodded all the same.

"You come here and tell us that we can go a head and train since we're here. We came here at six in the morning like you told us to and now it's twelve thirty!" Sakura told their teacher. She was in his face yelling, and didn't even notice the thing in his arms.

"What's that?" Naruto asked out of curiosity.

The silver haired man looked down at the thing in his arms. "This is Sasha," he replied as he uncovered her head. She had black hair and was very pale, almost as white as a sheet. "We found her in the woods being attacked by Orochimura. I was taking her to the hospital, but this was as far as I got."

Sasuke looked below their teacher's feet and asked, "You realize that you are standing on nothing, right Kakashi?"

Kakashi looked down and shook his head. "Didn't notice it," he replied, and then he simply shrugged it off. "It could be her."

Naruto held out his arms to take her "I'll take her to the hospital, you need rest."

Kakashi simply handed Sasha over to Naruto, and then fell in the water below him. "I should have held on to her to get out. I'm such an idiot."

Sakura snickered. "That's what you get for not telling us to not come." She said. "I'll come with you, Naruto, to take her to the hospital, then we can go eat."

Sasuke nodded. "I'll come too."

Then all of them left Kakashi in the water. They're getting along, he thought as he got up and started walking home. But what if Sasha ruins their friendship. I did tell her that I would teach her everything that I've taught them and what I know. I hope it doesn't break them apart.

At the Hospital

The nurses took Sasha, or at least tried, but for some strange reason every time they tried taking her away from Naruto they got shocked. Finally they let Naruto put her in a bed, but all of them were too scared to put any IV's in her, so the Hokage came down there and healed her. Next thing they knew, she woke up.

"Where am I?" She asked as she rubbed her head. She looked around and then jumped out of the bed and pulled a knife out of her belt. "What am I doing here?" She demanded as she grabbed one of the nurses and held the knife to her throat.

"…'' Everyone didn't know what to say. They were so shocked they didn't know what give an answer, well yet.

"Tell me now or else this…woman gets it." She pressed the knife to the nurses' neck. "Tell me now!"

Sasuke didn't seem surprised. "Only a coward would take a hostage." He said as he leaned against the wall. "Not like I care what you do to the nurse."

The nurse gasped. "Please help me!" She said as she started to struggle. "Let me go!"

Sasha held on tighter and then turned her around and punched her in her stomach. She caught the nurse, but glared at her. She then handed the nurse to the Hokage and pulled her hands back quickly when he almost had her. "I'm gone." She said as she slipped her shoes on and started to walk out when Sasuke and Naruto got in front of her.

"You aren't going anywhere," they both said angrily. Both of them had their arms crossed and had a very cross look on their face. "You didn't have to do that to the nurse." Naruto told her as he closed the door. "What did she do to you?"

Sasha crossed her arms too. "I don't think it's any of your business, now is it?" She replied coldly. She closed her eyes and sighed. "Just move."
