Chapter One
My Reflection
"AW COME ON!" echoed through the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Everything rattled at the high pitch scream; this didn't affect anyone. Of course the villagers were used to it by now. After living for 12 years with one Naruto Uzumaki, it was nothing new.
Naruto was mad and it was evident. His faced was flushed, he eyes had a fire in them, his hands were clenched so tight they were on the brink of breaking skin; if you looked close enough, you could almost see his body covered with a red aura.
What caused this anger in Naruto you may ask? Well once again, Naruto asked Kakashi to show him some new jutsu's, to defeat Sasuke of course. And once again, Kakashi said no. If he weren't his sensei, he would have socked him by now.
"What do you mean you won't teach me Kakashi-sensei?! Come on, I need to get stronger, teach me pleasssssssse!" Naruto exclaimed, standing there face to face with his teacher. Sasuke and Sakura were there of course, both obviously irritated that Naruto was keeping them up with such a dumb question when they all already knew the answer. Kakashi rubbed the inside of his ear with his pinky finger, pretty sure that his ear drum was destroyed. "Listen Naruto, try to understand, its not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that-"
"Let me guess, because Sasuke is more advanced then I am, I wouldn't be able to take it?" Naruto said, not really in a question form, irritation clearly in his voice. Kakashi rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "well…yes…"
Naruto 'humphed' at this, folding his arms in defeat as Kakashi placed his hand on his shoulder, "look, maybe when you get a little stronger…" Hearing this, the others knew that the conversation was over, and they went their separate ways, and that meant Sakura following Sasuke home. With a small good bye, Kakashi disappeared, leaving behind a still very upset Naruto.
"Stupid Sasuke…" Naruto muttered under his breath as he walked down the street kicking a small pebble along the way, "what's so special about him anyway?" Sure he was popular, smart, strong…ok he's perfect to everyone. //Still…to ditch me like that-//
"NARUTO!!!"
Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by his name being called, but when he turned to see who called him, all he saw was the underside of a frying pan. "OW! What was that for?!" Naruto exclaimed, rubbing his nose //I think I'm bleeding!// he thought. He looked up to see a local store owner, and if looks could kill, Naruto would be dead, brought back, and killed again. "What's the big idea with skipping on your bill Uzumaki?!"
"Wha-? Skipping on my bill, what are you talking about?" Naruto asked, staring at the owner in total confusion. "Don't play dumb! You came in using that stupid jutsu of yours to disguise yourself, ate, and then ran out!" the owner yelled, wagging the frying pan in Naruto's face accusingly. Naruto placed his hands out in order to block getting hit again, "hey, you've got it all wrong, it couldn't have been me, I've been training-" "You're not getting out of this, I let it pass when you came in in disguise, but I expect you to pay that bill!" then, the owner stomped back to his shop.
//In disguise? I was training all day, it couldn't have been me// Naruto thought to himself. //Could it be that it was someone who looks like me? I don't have any family, but its possible that this person has similar looks to me// Naruto looked out with determination on his face. //I gotta clear my name!// and with that Naruto dashed down the street.
Many hours went by and Naruto couldn't find any evidence of another person in town that looked one iota like him. //Could they have left?// "Get back here you!" Naruto heard, he turned back to see the same store owner screaming to someone down the street. "Get back here Uzumaki and pay this bill!" Naruto was sure that his look alike had just passed him, so he turned around and dashed after them.
"Would you like to join me for dinner Sasuke?" Sakura said in a sweet tone, hanging onto an annoyed Sasuke's arm. Sasuke liked Sakura, as friend, but this whole 'dating' thing wasn't going to fly with him. "No thanks, I have to train later," Sasuke said simply, trying to get his arm back, but it seemed she wasn't about to let go. "Awe, come on Sasuke please?" Sakura asked; Sasuke rolled his eyes. //If I could just have a distraction-//
"Hey get back here!"
Both Sasuke and Sakura turned to see their team mate Naruto rushing past them, obviously chasing after someone. "Naruto?" Sakura asked in confusion, Sasuke was hearing the Halleluiah Chorus in his head as he ran off.
//Thank you!//
"Sasuke wait up!"
"Hey, hang on!" Naruto yelled out. He could tell he was getting closer because he could see a yellow blur in front of him. //Just a couple more feet- wha?!" Naruto was stopped by a giant cart going past him, cutting him off from the culprit, who he saw stop. //Screw this!// Naruto thought, backing up a bit and then dashing to jump over the cart. When he successively landed, he grabbed the person by the hand, "gotcha!" Naruto said triumphantly. When he lifted his head to see the person, his eyes flashed absolute shock.
Standing in front of him was a young girl about his age, his height, even his skin tone. Her hair went down her waist and was the color of the sun, her bangs wild and stopped below her eyes. As to her eyes, they were a vibrant blue, much like Naruto's. But what frightened him was that like him, she had the same three whisker-like marks on both sides of her face. If it weren't from them being different gender, it would be like looking in a mirror!
Naruto saw the surprise in the girl's eyes as well. "You look just like me," they said at the same time, both jumping in shock. "Sorry," they did it again, but Naruto shook his head when he remembered why he tried to catch her. "Hey, you tried to skip out on a bill!" Naruto barked, the girl jumped when she heard that. "Oh I'm sorry, its true, but I was so confused and I got fluster sigh I'm sorry," she said sadly.
Naruto felt bad for yelling at her when she tried to explain what had happened; he smiled and placed his hands on her arms, "hey don't worry about it, we'll just explain what happened k?" The girl looked at Naruto; he got the impression that not very many people were nice to her. "All right then, let's go," Naruto said, but before they could go anywhere, they were stopped by Kakashi. The girl got scared so she hid behind Naruto.
"Well, hello there Naruto," Kakashi said happily. "Hey there Kakashi-sensei," Naruto said, forgetting about his fight with his teacher earlier. "I couldn't help but notice all the commotion that was being caused, do you want to explain to me what's going on?" Kakashi asked, walking over to him. Naruto rubbed the back of his head and let out an uneasy laugh. "Yeah, well, there was just a misunderstanding, yeah, that's it!" Naruto tried to explain.
Kakashi blinked when he noticed someone behind his student, "who's your friend there?" Naruto looked over his shoulder when the girl slowly appeared to Kakashi. Naruto saw the same look he had earlier on Kakashi's face when he looked at his female look alike. "H-hi," she muttered softly, letting off a small wave. Kakashi took a second before letting the shock leave his face. "Don't worry Kakashi-sensei, we're going to take care of it," Naruto explained, taking the girl's hand in an attempt to leave.
"Actually, I think you'd better come with me you two," Kakashi said, blocking their way. Naruto felt the girl's hand tighten around his; he looked to see the slight fear in her eyes //what is she afraid of…I wonder?// Naruto thought, but he smiled. "Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei is cool!" the girl looked at him and nodded.
//Why are we here?// Naruto thought as he shifted on the couch. He thought that Kakashi was going to take them back to his place and tell him what happened, apologize to the owner and be on his merry way.
Instead, he found himself in the Hokage's office!
//I was just a misunderstanding, what's the big deal!// Naruto growled at his thoughts. The girl sitting next to him kept him from his thoughts; she sat there shivering. She couldn't have been cold, mainly from the heavy jacket she wore, because it was a hot night. No, her shivering came from fear, but of what? Naruto couldn't figure it out.
He was so deep in trying to figure this girl out, he barely noticed Kakashi arrive with the 3rd Hokage. Both look-alikes looked up at the old man, who gasped slightly when he saw the two sitting there. After a second, his appearance changed to its normal ways; he let out a sigh.
"Ok then, first things first, young lady would you please stand up?" the 3rd Hokage asked. The girl's hands clenched before she managed to stand up, staring at the man with her big blue eyes. The Hokage smiled, aware that she was scared, in an effort to calm her. "Now then my dear, would you please tell me your name?" he said softly. The girl blinked.
"My name? Oh, it's Cho. Cho Uzumaki."
Dun, dun duuun! I hope everyone liked it. It's been awhile since I wrote a fanfic and this is my first Naruto one. Please review and let me know if you like it!
