Finding My Way
Chapter 1
Warning to my Readers: The OC in this story is obviously labeled as a "Mary Sue". I know she is. I actually wrote this story about five years ago, so that should give a very legit explanation. I put up this story merely for enjoyment purposes…and mostly because I had started the second part of this story and thought it a waste if I didn't ever share this story; I still worked hard to make this and just hope everyone who reads finds it an enjoyable time waster ^_^
Disclaimer: As usual, I do not and will not ever own Naruto or Masashi Kishimoto's characters. The only thing created was my (very Mary Sue) OC.
Please Enjoy!^-^
Summary: Ayona Kurusaki has always been the top ninja in her class, even better than Sasuke. Not only is she super smart and super skilled in the ninja ways, but also very talented. She can master a technique accurately after just practicing a while, and has photographic memory. A girl like that is admired by many. You'd think she would be happy, but not Ayona. Ever since she could remember, she would always feel that something was wrong with her life, and that she never really "belonged". So, Ayona decides her lifelong mission to find where she feels she truly "belongs." What she has no idea is about her past.
Note: I used different points of views in this story. I will specifically say if the viewpoint has changed, but it's automatically my OC's viewpoint if not specified. Arigatou! Now, enjoy!
I sat there, looking up at the long walls and huge opened door. I didn't know where I was nor how I got to be here. I tried thinking back, remembering where I came from. My mind came up blank. All I could remember was my name: Ayona Kurusaki.
I stood up. I was no more than a few inches over three feet. My body was tiny. I was wearing a green-blue scarf. My outfit was a red knee-length dress with a small pink heart at the chest. Underneath, I wore baggy blue jeans, and white tennis shoes were neatly tied on my feet. Around my waist was a small red bag, using the strap like a belt. I carried a black backpack, which was almost as tall as me.
It was tantalizing how I knew what my belongings were and what was contained in it. I was more odd how I could suddenly sling that black humongous bag over my back and waltz right through the entrance of the village. What was even more incredulous about myself was that I just knew things and have the feeling of knowing.
As I walked through the expansive arched gate, two men sat inside a small summerhouse-like structure stared at me. They were also peering behind me to see if I had any companions. I blinked and stared back at them. They had congused looks and gave a samll smile towards me. One of them stood up and came over. He knelt while he talked to me.
"Hi, Little Lady," he greeted with a smile, "Where are your parents?"
I shrugged. I didn't remember having any parents. The other watcher came over an looked down at me. I kept a straight face and stared back. He had a friendly face, and some kind of toothpick stuck out of his mouth.
"I haven't seen you around before," the toothpick man said. "Where are you from?"
I gave another shrug.
The two men looked at one another with confused faces. The one who greeted me first then stood up.
"Well, he started, "I guess we should take you to the Hokage."
"Ho-ka-ge?" I pronounced.
The words sounded familiar, yet so unknown.
"Yeah," the toothpick man grinned, seeing that I had finally spoken. "He's the leader of this village. This is Konohagure; the Hidden Leaf Village."
As he said this, pointed to the silver-plated logo attatched to his bandanna wrapped around his head.
"Konoha," I stated blankly. Again, the same wierd feeling flowed through me.
The toothpick man took my hand. He waved at the other guy, saying that he would return. I followed silently and walked.
We arrived at the Hokage's mansion, went in and up the stairs. The toothpick man then knocked on one of the many doors in the corridor. A voice told us to come in and we entered.
"Good morning, Hokage-sama," the toothpick man bowed respectfully.
The toothpick guy then pushed me forward in front of him, gently. For some reason, without telling my body to, I bowed and hard myself say, "Ohayou gozaimasu, Hokage-sama!"
It was then I realized how my voice really sounded like. It was of a young, little girl!
An ancient instinct at the back of my mind told me that this wasn't "right." I felt that I was much older than I supposedly was and that I wasn't suppose to be in the place I was in. I could see in the reflection of the window my being and my looks. My instinct then told me that my body was how I suppose to be...but then again, it wasn't...
I soon noticed the purple ribbon keeping my long, light brown hair tied. I felt its silk and its texture. Suddenly, for a fraction of a second, I regained all my memory, though it was all too quick for my mind to feed in all the events. So, I forgot again.
My mind a body snapped back to the present. I was standing straight and had finally realized that the toothpick guy was explaining something to the Hokage. I didn't listen but figured that it was about me.
The Hokage was staring at me the entire time. It gave me chills at the back of my spine, like he knew "something" was different about me. He then nodded.
"She seems like she has no parents nor any recollection of her past," he said. "Leave her here."
The toothpick guy bowed. As he did, he looked out from the corner of eye and winked a goodbye to me. He exited the room. I stood there.
Usually, when people are left alone, mostly occurring in little kids like me, they would usually feel a fright or nervousness, right? For me, I felt nothing. Though, I had a very reassuring reason that the Hokage could be trusted, but that reason would have to be pondered a little until I knew what the reason actually was...
I saw him as he stood up, walked over to me, and put in hand on my shoulder. He lead me out of the office to one of the rooms down the hall.
As i passed by, I saw one of the doors half open. I took a quick glance and saw a baby sleeping soundly in a crib. He looked about a year old.
Two rooms down that room, we arrived and stopped. The Hokage looked down at me and smiled. He opened the door. Inside, there was a twin sized bed. Across from it was a desk which held pencils and a lamp. To a corner was a full-length mirror and another corner, a chest of drawers and a small nightstand with a lamp stood next to the bed.
"Well, Ayona," the Hokage started, "if you don't mind, you can stay here. I see that you're alone and probably don't remember anything. This," here he gestured toward the room, "this is your room. The kitchen and dining room is downstairs. Tomorrow, I'll arrange it so that you can go to the ninja academy here."
Again, he looked down at me and smiled.
"Arigatou gozaimasu desu," I told him, and gave an unexpected smile.
He left me and I entered inside my new room. I discovered that there was a bathroom connected and that the window next to the mirror had a beautiful view of the village.
I stared into the morning horizon. I had no idea how I came here or who I really was. I all I knew at the moment was that I would be lining in this world for a while.
