Hello and welcome to the starting of Konoha High School. I'm excited to see how this will turn out and the people that will join this adventure. Let's start this and see how it progresses.
It was the new school year for Naruto and his friends. They were excited because this was going to be the starting of their final year in high school. Naruto, for one, was the most energetic. He woke up three hours earlier than his regular time so he watched the sun rise from his window. As he stared off into the sun, he began to feel awkward somehow. He could already say that something was going to happen today, but whether it'll be good or bad wasn't determined.
Deciding to dismiss the thought, he got up and did his normal school morning routine; he bathed, ate breakfast, got dressed, and headed out. As he left, he took a deep breath and began walking with a smile on his face. He just continued telling himself that this was the last year for him. Taking a pause, he notices one of his friends in the distance. He ran toward him while calling his name.
"Hey Sasuke!"
Sasuke turned around and notices his best friend running towards him. "Yo Naruto. What's got you all happy?"
"Nothing much. It's just that it's finally our last year in school."
"Something told me that you were going to say that. Oh yeah, that also means that the championships are soon here."
"I completely forgot about that! Where would I be without you?"
"I guess on a bench watching us play."
Naruto and Sasuke were on their school's basketball team and helped get their team to the championships. Although the training was, and still is, tough, they enjoy the game either way. It wasn't long before they went inside the school and met up with their friends. After a long summer vacation, they were glad to see each other. Two girls, in particular, were glad to see Naruto and Sasuke. They just stared at them when they entered the class.
"Look who the wind brought."
"I know and they didn't even notice us."
"Just give us time," Naruto and Sasuke said in unison.
Ino and Sakura sat side-by-side and their boyfriends gave them a warm kiss. Ino took off with Sasuke to who-knows-where, leaving Naruto and Sakura together. They have been dating since late tenth grade and they are still going strong. The whole class carried their own conversation until their homeroom teacher came in. Kakashi Hatake was a mysterious one since, for some odd reason, he always wears a mask covering his nose and mouth.
Just when he was about to start class Sasuke and Ino entered. Naruto went to his seat with Sasuke sitting next to him. Naruto asked if he was alright since he was breathing hard. Sasuke got out a book and pen, and wrote his message as he tried to catch his breath. The message said: I'll tell you when we get out of here or when I'm sure my breath is stable. Naruto dropped the subject and waited to hear what happened.
"Now class, we have a new transfer student. Could you please come in and introduce yourself?" Kakashi stated.
The door opened slowly and all eyes were on the door. Soon enough the person's presence was known. It was a girl with long, flowing red hair, fair skin, and, for some reason, cat-like ears. She kept her eyes closed as she introduced herself in a soft tone in which no one could hear her. Naruto became stiff as if a cool breeze stiffened his spine. Sasuke quickly took notice of Naruto's expression and returned his attention to the front.
Kakashi asked her to say her name a little louder and with her eyes opened. She slowly opened her eyes and they were almost blood red and her pupils were silted. She introduced herself as Kyuusha. To Naruto, it felt as if someone shot him in his stomach. He felt as if he should know her but the question was, where? He forced himself to remember but he stopped seeing her go to her seat. As she passed him, her hair brushed against his forearm.
He knew now that he felt that at some point in his life, but he was having a hard time remembering. With the formalities out of the way, Kakashi went on to start the lesson. At their break Naruto was lost in thought. He had to remember who this girl was. Walking usually helps him to focus so he was walking around inside of the school. While passing a room, he hears someone calling for help. When he reached, he saw a group of five guys bullying someone.
"What are you guys doing?" Naruto asked making him known.
"Beat it or else," one of the guys said.
"Or else what?"
"We'll beat you."
"Why don't you try?"
With that invitation, he ran towards Naruto with his fist in the air tightly balled. Naruto stood there and kicked him in his chest. Two others surrounded Naruto from the left and right. They both ran towards him and they each took a hard jab to the neck by Naruto's elbow. Naruto faced the remaining two and they ran off dragging their friends. Naruto closed his eyes and breathed out. He walked towards the person and realized it was Kyuusha.
"Hey, are you ok?" Naruto asked while helping her up off the floor.
"For now, at least," she responded, "Thanks."
"Don't mention it. If it isn't too much of trouble, do you mind telling me why they were picking on you?"
"You don't remember?!"
"Remember what?"
"This is the second time you saved me, Naruto."
"The second?"
"Yes. I thought you would remember me and our connection."
"C-Connection?!"
"Come on, stop playing dumb. You and I have a connection so deep; no one could ever understand us."
"What do you mean?"
"All these questions, yet little answers. I better show you."
Before Naruto could speak, she already had him in a kiss. Then he saw and remembered everything. It all stopped when she broke the kiss. He stared at her and couldn't believe he could actually forget something like that. He closed his eyes and tried to accept what he saw. Kyuusha stared at him and was confused as to why he's just remaining silent. Little did she know, he was about to fully awaken. Naruto opened his eyes accepting everything that happened.
"How long was it that we last saw each other?" Naruto asked.
"I would have to say seven years."
"Thanks for answering my questions and restoring my memory."
"Anytime Naruto."
And that's the end of chapter 1. Who enjoyed my first surprise? If you want to know what awakened inside Naruto, what the past held for both Naruto and Kyuusha, and how their friends will react, then come on this crazy adventure. I'll see you all in the other one.
