FoxCat here with one of my Naruto fanfics! Okay so this is my own twist to Naruto. I always wondered how the Naruto gang would react to some interesting twists, such as Naruto having an older sister who trained with Itachi. What happens when Naruto along with the Konoha 12 get thrown for a loop or two or three? Total chaos and happiness! Yeah so this is Naruto FoxCat style!
Naruto sat sulking over his bowl of pork ramen. 'I just finished yet another useless mission. Man where the hell are you Sasuke?!' he thought as something hit his left shoulder.
"One bowl of miso chicken, please." A sweet female voice filled the silence.
Naruto looked over at his right to see a strawberry brown hair kunoichi smiling at him. She was dressed in her ninja outfit: a yellow green one strap top, green shorts with a pink skirt that was spilt in for parts over them, and her light green leg warmers. It was a cool spring night so the Kunoichi was wearing her green trimmed white arm warmers instead of her elbow guards. Like most other Kunoichi, she wore her headband in a more fashionable way, around her neck. Naruto weakly smiled at the Kunoichi. It was Sakura's older cousin, Kimiko Haruno.
"Hey, Kimiko. Didn't expect you to come for ramen." Naruto greeted her.
"It sounded good." Kimiko shrugged her shoulders as she snapped her chopsticks apart.
"I heard your last mission was a success, yet here you are sulking over a third eaten bowl of miso pork ramen, which if memory serves me right is your favorite."
Naruto looked down at his bowl realizing that Kimiko was right. He had only eaten a third of his bowl and it was still his first bowl!
"I guess I've been thinking about Sasuke again." Naruto sighed as he stirred his ramen with his chopsticks.
"Look I know you are depressed at the fact that we have had no new leads on where Sasuke is, but that is no reason to stop eating!" Kimiko scolded Naruto.
Naruto gasped at Kimiko, who sounded just like Sakura. "But!" Naruto started only to have Kimiko shove a mouth full of her ramen into his open mouth.
Naruto choked trying to swallow the ramen. He coughed a bit as he managed to get the chicken ramen down. Next to fish or vegetable ramen, chicken was one of his least favorite flavors of ramen.
"Geez, couldn't you at least get pork or beef, before you shove it down my throat?!" Naruto fumed at Kimiko, who was laughing inside.
"Wanna trade bowls for the next one?" Kimiko asked playfully as she stuck out her tough at him.
"No I'm going to eat this bowl all by myself! Thank you very much, but I can feed myself after all I'm eighteen!" Naruto yelled at her as he started shoveling the pork ramen into his mouth.
"Well at least that got you to eat." Kimiko muttered know exactly why Naruto was really sulking.
It was his birthday and no one had remembered or so Naruto thought.
"Hey, Ayame did Naruto pay for his bowl yet?" Kimiko asked as she was finishing up her bowl.
"Nope not yet."
"Then here." Kimiko gave Ayame enough money for both bowls.
"Uh, thanks Kimi, but you really didn't need to do that." Naruto commented as he picked up his bowl and drained the broth from it.
"What? It's your birthday isn't it?" Kimiko shrugged her shoulders as she left.
"You remembered?!" Naruto's bright blue eyes widen as a smile broke out on his face.
"Yep." Kimiko nodded her head.
Naruto jumped out of his stool and tackled Kimiko with a huge hug. The force of Naruto's hug caused Kimiko to loose her balance and the two fell to the ground.
"Oh thank you so much Kimi! You have no idea what this means to me!" Naruto started thanking Kimiko over and over.
"What's with you, Naruto?" Kimiko managed to ask him through her laughter.
Naruto let go of her and sat up on his knees. Kimiko lifted herself up onto her elbows and bending her right knee. Her deep aqua green eyes showed her kindness and her sorrow as she looked into Naruto's eyes. His smile had faded and he looked like he was on the verge of tears.
"No one else remembered…" Naruto whispered. "Not even Sakura, Kakashi-Sensei, or Iruka-Sensei."
Kimiko gave him a sincere hug as Naruto cried into her shoulder. 'Surely that wasn't true could everyone else forgotten? Okay well her teammates were a bit flaky at times, and well so was Lee. No one really wanted to know much about Shino. Kiba and Shikamaru are close friends with Naruto, so is Choji. Ino is a dumb blonde at times, but Sakura is Naruto's teammate and Hinata adores Naruto. Neji is Neji and Tenten I don't even know if she even knew Naruto's birth date.'
"Kimiko-chan can we do something stupid?" Naruto asked the green clad Kunoichi snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Are you serious? What the heck is wrong with you Naruto? You actually asked permission to do something stupid." She questioned the newly eighteen year old Genin.
"Please just the two of us. It's my birthday and you're the only one I want to be around right now." Naruto begged her.
"Fine what do you have in mind?" Kimiko sighed knowing that this would bite her in the butt later.
"I don't know. Paint the Hokages' faces again? Or get drunk? Or dye Akamaru? Or make out? Or…" Naruto stopped to think.
"First off haven't you painted the Hokages once? Second I don't know if I'm a natural born drunken fist user or if you are ether. Third how would we get Akamaru away from Kiba? Fourth don't even go there!" Kimiko started rejecting Naruto's ideas.
"Heh, guess you're right. I just hate the fact that I'm alone on my birthday once again." Naruto started crying again.
"Come on let's get you home before you completely break down." Kimiko got up and lend Naruto her hand to help him up.
Naruto followed Kimiko back to his apartment. "Thanks again for the ramen." Naruto thanked her as he walked into his place.
Kimiko sighed almost starting to cry herself as she headed for her home. Naruto walked out to his balcony and watched Kimiko as she walked home.
'Why? Why was Kimiko the only one?' Naruto thought as he felt refreshed by the cool spring breeze.
"Heh I remembered, brat." Naruto groaned what did that stupid fox want?
'Of course you do. Today is the eighteenth anniversary of you being sealed up inside of me. Pisses you off doesn't it Kyubi?' Naruto snapped back at the nine tailed fox.
"No I find it hilarious that all but one of your stupid friends remembered your birth." Kyubi chuckled.
Naruto closed his eyes to shut Kyubi out.
"Hey Naruto!" Naruto jumped out of his daze as he looked around down below him to see Rock Lee standing there waving at him.
"Hey Bushybrows." Naruto half heartedly greeted his green jumpsuit friend.
"I know it's late, but are you up for a birthday spar?" Lee asked him.
"Alright you too!" Naruto yelled as he jumped down from his balcony. "I thought Kimiko was going to be the only one who remembered."
Lee stared at his blonde haired friend in disbelief. "Are you serious? Not even Sakura-chan remembered?"
"That's right." Naruto nodded pushing back the tears.
"Mind if I join you boys?" the two turned to see Kimiko standing there.
"Fine by me." Naruto had no problem with it.
"Excellent! Let's go to training ground 15!" Lee youthfully shouted as he gave Naruto and Kimiko thumbs up and his sparkling smile.
Kimiko laughed and shrugged her shoulders as she ran after Lee.
"But that's where the memorial stone is." Naruto muttered as he ran after his two Taijutsu loving comrades.
"Come on Naruto!" Lee had stopped and waited for Naruto to catch up to him. Kimiko had also stopped.
"Hey, I'll race ya boys okay? Shinobi versus Kunoichi, which means two to one. All things go!" Kimiko asked the boys.
"Alright! Anything goes?" Lee asked her.
"Yup!" Kimiko nodded.
"Yeah you're on! Loser buys the winner ramen!" Naruto yelled as he ran pass Kimiko.
"That's what you think!" Kimiko yelled as a kunai brushed Naruto's blonde spikes.
