Sup peoples. I thought up this one a couple days ago and what do you know? I'm submitting it. FYI, this is my first ever fanfic. I welcome constructive criticism, but flamers be warned: you will be incinerated by the very inch of your life if you dare try to bash my characters or me. K? On with everything else. Oh, and also, first reviewer gets thrown into my next chappie somehow! (Hold on, is that a reward or a threat?)
Disclaimer: sobs…I WISH I owned Naruto, but those mean lawyer peoples won't let me. I do, however, own Nari and Tosame.
Relationships: None so far, but I'm working on it.

It was a moist, foggy morning in the heart of the forest surrounding Konohakure. A mysterious figure walked almost silently through the trees. When I say almost, I mean to say it sounded as if a herd of angry, homicidal orangutans were attacking a rather large, constipated rhinoceros. But enough about the author's misuse of adjectives. The man carried two large suitcases and wore a tattered brown cloak. Another person, a teenage girl to be specific, accompanied the mysterious figure. That very same girl was the source of the noise and the source of the cloaked figure's headache.
"So when are we gonna get to the village, huh? Huh? Do they have lots of shops in the village? Where am I going to stay? Do you live in the village? Is your house an apartment or a house house 'cause…" Most bodyguards would have gone into a nervous breakdown by then, but it just so happened that this bodyguard new his client well. "Nari, you have to be quiet now. We're approaching the village gates. We want to keep a low profile until we reach your brother's house, okay?" the man in a tired tone.
"Don't worry," Nari said in a semi-whisper, "I'll be so quiet it'll be like I'm invisible or something. I've always wanted to have the power to be invisible! And if I'm really really quiet then it'll be just like I'm invisible only people can see me!" The man sighed. Why was he the lucky person to escort her to Konoha? Why couldn't someone else take this girl? The little voice in the back of his head reminded him that he knew his charge's brother, and that was whom he was delivering her to.
"WOW!" Nari shouted, completely forgetting to keep her voice down, "THAT IS ONE BIG GATE!" This signaled the bodyguard to come back to reality and make sure the girl got to her new home safely. "Isn't that a HUGE gate Tosame? Isn't it? Isn't it?" "Yeah, I guess it's pretty big." He replied. The guard asked for their names and business in the village in an almost robotic manner. Tosame simply walked up to him and whispered something in his ear. The guard nodded and glanced at the girl before saying, "You may pass."
The gates swung open, letting the two travelers in. "Wow, this place is really cool! Do you live in this village? What village are you from? You still didn't answer my question earlier about the shops. Do they have any good shops around here?" "I wouldn't know. I haven't been here in a while." Her companion replied. As Nari continued to babble on about something or another, Tosame led her through Konoha's bustling streets until he came upon an apartment building that caught his eye. "This way." He said as he steered a still talking Nari into the elevator.
Once the elevator halted and they got out, Tosame grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the door marked 287. "Ooh! Ooh! Can I ring the doorbell pretty please? I love to ring doorbells! Doorbells are so fun to ring can I ring it pretty PLEASE?" He sighed, but before he could say anything the door opened. "Can I help you?" asked a man with soft brown hair and a scar on his nose. "Iruka!" The girl yelped. Instantly she glomped onto her brother. "N-nari?" he asked, slightly unbelieving that his fourteen year-old sister was right in front of his very eyes. "I thought I'd never see you again big brother!" She began to cry while Iruka shot her escort an inquisitive look. (A/N If you stop that last sentence after escort, you get the idea how Iruka feels right now.) "Well, I'm off." Tosame said, turning around.

Was that any good? To those who thought so, good for you, cause it's only getting better from there when Iruka has to go off on a long term mission and can't take care of Nari. Who's the lucky—unlucky, what's the difference?-- person who gets to watch her? Find out next chapter! (Which I'm planning on releasing tomorrow or the next day, whenever I get around to it.)
