A/N: Konnichiwa readers! I randomly had the urge to write a story … hehe ^_^ I hope it's okay, it took me a bit to figure out some things and I kept leaving it for a while and then coming back to it. And to clear up a few things for you guys; this story is way different (sort of) from Naruto Shippuden. It's my own story, thus my own plot and own situations. I got some of my ideas from situations with my friends. If I accidently used someone's idea, I did not mean to, I made this story up randomly on the spot because I wanted to write something. Please enjoy. I love reviews and for this story, only this story ^_^, I will accept flames. I hope it's good!
Disclaimer: I do not, whatsoever, own Naruto. I wish I did because then I would be rich! Man that would be nice, I would move to Japan with family and friends and … I'm mumbling again … sorry. But I DON'T own Naruto!
"Mom, we are going to be late for dinner!" I shouted from the living room. My mom, Jill, and I were supposed to be going to a volleyball dinner to celebrate an awesome season, but she just had to call her boyfriend before we left.
"Kate, we'll be there on time, don't worry. What? Oh, I'm still here Tim…"
My dad, Steve was an FBI agent, but then one day at work, he was killed by a raging psycho. They caught the guy and put him to death for murdering an FBI agent and over twenty more victims. He died two years ago and my mom was depressed for a long time, but then she met Tim and she slowly got better. Tim was an alright guy, he has some quarks though; he is a professor at a college and takes his job too seriously. I am a regular teenage girl who has a bright future ahead of her. I have shoulder length, black hair with a hint of blue, my eyes are ice blue, I am about 5'5, and I am 16 years old. I live in Chicago and I have a unique hobby, anime. I started watching anime and reading manga about a month after my father died. I became depressed, but put on a brave face for my family and friends, but they knew I would break sometime, but before I could, my best friend helped me.
It was a month after my dad had died and I was slowly getting worse with my depression and I knew my family and friends could tell. My mom tried to help me, but she was having a hard time herself. Some days I wouldn't go to school, but pretended to for my mom. Instead I would go to the park and watch the clouds. They relaxed me, but the relaxation wouldn't last long because I would think of how my dad and I would watch the clouds to pass time during my breaks while mom was away for work. I wasn't talking much at school any more and my friends tried to help, but their help was useless.
One day I had stayed home from school, and my best friend also skipped school. My mom was away on business and the door rang. I got up and looked out the window; it was my best friend Max. I opened the door and waited for her to tell me what she wanted because I wasn't in the mood for a pep talk.
"Kate, we need to talk. Please." She said. She looked as if she was about to cry. I let her in and made us some Chai tea. Once it was done, I gave her a cup as we sat on my couch.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, but this has gone on for too long. I know that losing your father is hard on you and your family, but that doesn't give you a right to wallow in self-pity. Your father would have wanted you to live your life to the fullest and to be the best you can be. Kate, please, I know it's hard, but you need to move on with your life." She said looking at the wall to my right. I didn't know how to answer her. I was wallowing in self-pity, but didn't I have the right to!
"Max, you don't know what it feels like to lose a loved one," I half yelled at her, "Don't I deserve to be depressed about it?" I asked her. She looked at me then and I saw her worried face.
"Of course you do, but even though you have the right to be depressed, you also have the right to show Life's who's boss and rise to the occasion. Kate, you know I care for you and I don't mean to mean any offense, I just want you to be happy again. Here this is something I found and I think you might like it. Keep it, I've already read it. I've got to go get my homework that I missed. Thanks for the tea; I hope I see you at school tomorrow." Kate said as she gave me the book and left. I opened the first page, but instead of finding the beginning of something called 'Naruto', I found something that said, "Wrong way, read right to left. This is the back of the manga." I turned it over and began to read.
"MOM! We are going to be late, stop talking to Tim!" I yelled up the stairs. I heard her say goodbye and I saw her walking down the stairs.
"Okay, okay, we can go now." She said as we left. When we got there, my friends were all there and I sat next to them as my mom sat next to the other parents. The coaches gave speeches and handed out awards. My friends and I talked throughout the whole thing and when it was over, we said out goodbyes.
"Hey mom, I'm going to be in my room most of the night watching Naruto. If you need anything, let me know okay?" I said waling up the stairs.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow if you don't come back out of you room. Let me know what happens to Hidan okay?"
"Hai!" I replied. I had gotten her to become involved with the anime like Max and I were. Of course, she wasn't totally thrilled by anime, but she understood my interest in it and let me be. I walked into my room and turned on my computer and went to my favorite website to watch anime, . It was the best and it had dubs on it! I started to watch Naruto Shippuden and watched it for about ten minutes before my screen went white.
"Ugh! Really? It was getting intense. You baka of a computer!" I screamed at my computer. It was at the part where Shikamaru was about to torch Hidan! It was the best part! But no, my computer had to go white! I waited for it to go back to normal, but then I heard a sound…huh? I got closer to the screen to see black swirls start to form.
"This can't be good." I said as I was about to call my mom into my room, but I suddenly got sucked in to my computer.
