Okay my first story in my Naruto Fanfiction Challenge! Woot! All pumped up! Yeah, it ain't gonna last, but oh-well! This is a Yahiko/OC fanfiction, so be amazed!

Here's la summary! Sugar, spice, and everything nice, these are the ingredients…oh wait…never mind! Haha, here's the summary:

Jiraiya brings three orphans—Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan—from the Village Hidden in the Rain back with him to the Hidden Leaf Village, where he introduces them to his younger sister, Arina to whom they'll form an unbreakable bond that might just be strong enough to meet their shared goal—peace.

"Alright, if you guys wanna come so badly," Jiraiya said. "Then pack up your stuff. I'm heading out in one hour whether you're here or not."

The three scurried off towards their living quarters.

An hour later, the Leaf Sannin and the three orphans were off. "What's it like in your home?" Nagato asked.

"It's very different from here," Jiraiya answered. "It hardly rains, but its temperature is so fantastic. Not too hot not too cold! And the women there are H-O-T, hot!"

"How long will it be until we get to Konaha?" Yahiko asked.

"We should get there in three days at least if we keep up this pace," the man replied, walking down the road, the three children in tow. The rain was pouring down without a sign of stopping, as usual.

"It's still raining," Yahiko said, looking around at his now-soaked peers. "It's like it's crying never ending tears. it always rains here, and I hate it. It's like our whole country is a big crybaby. I'm going to change it and protect everyone!"

"That's great Yahiko," Jiraiya said, looking back at them, smiling. "I believe that you can do it, too."

*Three days later/Arina's point of view*

I was sitting in my room, thinking. I've been doing that a lot lately. Since my parents died, I've been alone. Well, I still have my older brother, but he's never around. He's always on some mission. He's all I have left though.

That's why I was so scared when Tsunade and Orochimaru came back to the village from Ame without him three years ago.

I was waiting by the gates, looking to see if they were coming yet. They were supposed to be here by now, I thought, grumbling. There are faint figures by the forest, but I couldn't make out who they were or how many there were, but soon two very familiar faces came into view.

"Tsunade!" I cried, racing over to her, fear evident in my eyes. I didn't bother calling Orochimaru. He gives me the creeps. "Where's my brother? Where's Jiraiya?"

"Don't worry, Ari," Tsunade smiled. "He said he was going to stay for a while. He was taking care of some war orphans." After she said that, she glared at Orochimaru. I wonder what he did.

"Oh…" I looked down, upset that my brother wasn't here with me. Even more so knowing that he willingly chose some other kids to hang out with when his only sister was home alone, waiting for him to come back. I forced a smile. "Are you guys going to train?"

"After we report to the Hokage," Tsunade said, returning my smile genuinely. "Why?"

"Can I come? Jiraiya said that when you guys got home that he would train me," I said. "Would you mind if I trained with you guys? Tsunade, can you teach me one of your jutsus?"

"Um, sure, if you want," she smiled.

I turned to the other Sannin. "Orochimaru, could you teach me one of your snake related techniques?"

"Not at the moment, brat," he hissed. "Maybe some other time."

"Okay," I smiled, sadly. "Tsunade, can you show me how to punch like you?"

"Yeah, for when you meet guys like Jiraiya your own age, I presume?"

"Yeah," I giggled.

"Then meet me at the training grounds in fifteen minutes. And don't think for even a minute that this will be like a trip in the park. This will be a grueling excessive exercise that'll take years of pain and suffering to master. Hours of long hard work with no breaks. Sweat and blood."

"Understood!" I smiled broadly. "Do you want me to run laps while I wait for you?"

"Yes, and after every lap do two hundred and seven push-ups. Now sprint to the training grounds!"

"Yes, I will with my youthful power of…No, never mind. Yes, I will! I will use my brother's image to pass out and excel his skill! I will be as strong as you, Tsunade-sama! One day!"

I can punch like Tsunade now, and she said that she had nothing left to teach me. Tomorrow I'm starting my training with Orochimaru-san.

So right now I'm alone. I guess I could go see what anyone else is doing, but I don't want to be gone if Jiraiya-kun comes back and I'm not doing anything important. If I'm not training then I'm waiting. That's all I've done the past three years.

I heard a door open downstairs. I shot up, instantly on alert, grabbed a kunai, and dashed down the stairs, only to come face to face with my brother and three strangers. "Nii-san!" I cheered, running up to him and wrapping him in a bone-crushing hug.

"Hey, girly, how have you been?"

"Fine," I chirped, releasing him, smiling up at him.

"What've you been up to?" he asked, smiling.

"Tsunade was training me," I smiled. "She taught me some new jutsus, and how to punch like her!"

Jiraiya's face fell. "Hnn, remind me not to get on your bad side now."

"Oh, and Orochimaru-san told me that he would teach me some of his snake jutsu! But he said that he can't start training me until tomorrow because he's busy with something important now," I smiled. "Who're the people?" I asked, looking at the three strangers.

"Oh, them?" Jiraiya said, smiling as he looked from me to the others. "Didn't Tsunade tell you what I was doing in the Village Hidden in the Rain?"

"She said that you were looking after some war orphans," I shrugged. "Are these them?"

"Mmhmm," he said in agreement. "This is Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan."

Why would he just tell me their names? That does me no good if I don't know which one is which. Gosh!

"I take it that the girl's Konan," I said. "Which one's Yahiko and which one's Nagato?"

He gestured for the two boys to step forward. One boy, with orange spiky hair and brown eyes, stepped forward. "I'm Yahiko," he said. "This is Nagato," he gestured to the other boy with long, shaggy red hair that covered his eyes. "And you already know that that's Konan."

The girl with blue hair with a flower in it smiled at me and offered me a shy wave. I grinned. "Hi, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan! I'm Arina, but you can call me Ari for short. Or just call me Arina, I don't care which."

"It's nice to meet you, Arina," Konan said in a small voice.

"You're really pretty," I smiled at her. "Jiraiya, are they going to be staying with us?"

"For a little while, yes," he told me. "Is it okay if-"

"Can Konan room with me?" I asked, jumping up and down. "Please? Please? Please? Please, please, please?"

"Um, sure, I guess…" he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Yay! It's going to be so much fun! I can do your hair! And we can talk! And give each other makeovers! Wow! This is so exciting! I haven't had anyone room with me…since…Alex…" I said, my smiling fading at the end.

"Ari?" Jiraiya asked looking at me worriedly.

I smiled up at him. "Don't worry, Nii-san! It's okay! Come one, Konan! I'll show you to my-" I broke off. "Wait! Not yet! I have to clean my room! I'll be right back!"

I giggled as I ran up the stairs. I faintly heard Jiraiya tell our three guests to follow me, leading the way to my room, where I stood, thinking. "What's wrong, Ari?"

"Huh?" I looked at him. "Oh, I just have to remember my passcode," I said, grinning. I turned to look at the three. "Konan, this is mah door! It's beautiful! Isn't it? I love my door!"

"You spelled 'life' wrong," Nagato said, staring intently at the door.

I deadpanned and Jiraiya laughed. "It doesn't say 'life'!" I yelled, pretend ing to be mad, but couldn't help the grin that spread across my face or my uncontrollable giggles. "It says 'Liefie.' I love my Liefie! Gosh!"

"Oh…what's a Liefie?"

"It's a German term of endearment, goshness!" I smiled. "Come, won't you please intrude into my room?"

"Uh, your passcode…" Jiraiya reminded me.

"Oh, yeah…That's it! oh-six-two-seven-nine-six! Haha, I forgot it was Alex's birthday," I smiled sadly, opening my door. I turned around in my room.

Jiraiya came up beside me. "You're room isn't a mess," he said.

"Yeah, it is! Look at all the crud on the floor!" I grinned.

"Ari, the only thing on your floor are blankets and pillows, and I see you redecorated again."

"Yeah, but it's a mess!"

"Babydawl, if anyone should be complaining about a messy room, it should be the one that hasn't cleaned his room in over three years!" he exclaimed. I smiled at the use of the old nickname.

"Hey, uh…" I turned facing the three who were staring intently at my door. "Watcha looking at?"

"This is a nice sign," Konan said. "Did you make it?"

"Yeah~" I drew out the word. "Why?"

"What gave you the inspiration?"

"Uh…the internet…?" I shrugged. "Anyways, this is my room; you'll be staying in here with me Konan!"

"Does anyone else live in here with you?" Yahiko asked.

"No, why?"

"Well, there are two beds."

"Oh…I used to have a friend who used to live here with us, but…she's gone now…so, that's why there are two beds." I walked over to the first bed next to the computer table, jumping on it, stuffed animals and a multitude of pillows jumping up on my sudden onslaught of weight. "This is my bed, that one's yours," I smiled, cheekily as I pointed to a bed with zebra pattern blanket with a purple border and matching pillow cases.

"Thank you very much," she said, graciously.

"Don't mention it," I waved away her comment. "Jiraiya, when are you going to teach me how to do that knew jutsu?"

"Maybe tomorrow, I'm tired right now," he said with a yawn.

"Oh, well, then maybe some other time, because Orochimaru said he was going to help me tomorrow, so oh well!"

"Orochimaru…" Yahiko said, thinking. "That snakelike man asked to kill us-"

"He what?" I screeched. "No, no! I'm gonna go have a conversation with him. I'll be right back."

"Arina, it's fine," Jiraiya said, trying to calm me down. "We stopped him."

I opened my mouth to retort, but closed it soon after. A moment later, I opened it again. "Are you guys hungry?" I asked.

"Hmm, I'm starved," Jiraiya exclaimed, patting his stomach. "How about you three?"

"Some food would be nice," Nagato said.

"Do you want me to get my fishing pole," Yahiko asked. I gave him a strange look. "What?" he asked, suddenly defensive.

"Can I lick your face?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. Now he gave me a strange look. "Never mind, just forget I asked. Me and my strange mind."

I started skipping. "Brooootherrr! Can we take them to get some ramen!"

"Well, I don't see why not! Come on guys!"

"Jiraiya-sensei, I don't feel comfortable having you treat us-"

"But I'm not!" he exclaimed. "My sister is! And don't try dissuading her! Once she has her mind set on something, forget about trying to talk her out of it!"

By the time they all caught up with me, I was already at Ichiraku's Ramen Shop. A man named Teuchi had opened it last year, and I was excited about bringing Jiraiya there for the first time. Teuchi has a three month old daughter name Ayame; she's the cutest little thing! So sometimes he has to close the shop when he has to take care of her.

Luckily today wasn't one of those days. The seats were all filled, and Teuchi, being the only worker, looked overwhelmed. "Hey, Teuchi!" I called out to him, causing him to almost drop the four bowls of ramen he was carrying. Luckily for him, I'm the fastest girl in town, not including Tsunade-Chan. "You need some help running the place today?"

"But, Arina, it's your day off-"

"No problemo! I cheered. "See, I'm a nice person so I will help you with my youthful powers! Hah, no I'll just help you."

"Where'd you hear that youthful stuff, Arina?" Teuchi asked me.

"Some weirdo named…uh…Might Lee or something," I shrugged. "He kept cheering at me while I was training with Tsunade-sama to 'use the power of youth and youthfulness to complete all my goals.' It was really creepy."

"Well, what did you do?" Jiraiya asked me.

"Me? I told him youth was for babies. Then he said that the power of youth was strong within him, so I told him that he didn't have any youth because he was, like, thirty or something."

Jiraiya laughed heartily. "That's my sister! So when'd you get a job here?"

"Well, when it opened, I was all like 'Cool, ramen!' then when Teuchi said that employees get free ramen; I was all like 'Ah! Please give me this job!'"

He laughed again this time along with Yahiko. Konan smiled a bit too. "So watcha want me to do, boss?" I asked, fully focused.

"Take orders and serve, please?"

"You got it, dude!" I gave him a thumbs up. Taking the four bowls of ramen that the man was holding I walked over to the countertop. "Who ordered a miso?"

Three people raised their hands, so I shrugged and handed them the three bowls of miso ramen. "Chicken Vegetable?"

Four more people raised their hands. I sighed. "Who ordered it first?"

And that's when the fighting broke out. In short, the men both said that they ordered it first, and soon started throwing punches. "hey!" I yelled, trying to get their attention. "Hello~"

My eyebrow started to twitch. Why must they fight, I thought, slightly angered by their Neanderthal-ish behavior. I placed the bowl on the table behind me and jumped over the counter. Grabbing both men by the scruff of their neck, I smashed their heads together. "Look," I growled. "One of you had to have ordered it first, okay? So that means that one of you were lying. Now does someone want to tell me who that was?"

"I'm telling the truth," both men shouted in unison.

I growled audibly. "Get out."

"What? You wouldn't kick out paying customers, would you?" one of the men—who had spiky brown hair and green eyes—said with a sly smirk.

"Yes, I would. Because you're causing a ruckus and scaring away other customers," I growled. "So buzz off."

"You can't make us leave," the other one—a ginger—said.

"Oh, can't I?"

"No, you can't." the man said. "Because you're a girl. And I'm a jonin!"

"Look, I don't like violence," I growled. "I don't enjoy fighting, but I need you to leave and if you don't comply then I'll have to use force."

"You and what army, girly?" Jiraiya stepped forward with the three in tow behind him, but I gave them a glance that Jiraiya read perfectly, don't get involve; I can handle this myself. He nodded and backed off.

"I'm a one-man army," I smiled. "If you want a fight, you found one." I let them go and—after gaining their balance—they immediately charged at me. I dodged the ginger man, and grabbed the foot of the other who had tried—and dare I say—failed to kick me.

With his foot firmly in my left hand, I turned my attention to the ginger who was, yet again, charging at me. I smirked, guiding some chakra into my fist, pulling it back and letting it fly into the face of the man who—in turn—flew across the street and through the building that just so happened to be my gymnastic school.

The struggling of the man whose foot I was holding brought my attention back to the fact that I had more than one opponent. I twisted his foot at a ninety degree angle. His face contorted in pain. "Does it hurt?" I asked, my eyes—undoubtedly—turning red as I lost control of my cool-headedness.

He grunted. "What was that? I couldn't quite hear you," I snarled. "I asked you a question. Does. It. hurt?"

"Yes!" he screamed. I twisted his ankle further, hearing the bones breaking slowly. I laughed-

"Arina!" Jiraiya yelled. I blinked, looking at him, my eyes wide and my mouth slightly agape. I turned back to the man, dropping his foot. I gasped. Backing away slowly, I started murmuring before I hit into the wall of the gymnastics' building and fell to my knees.

I was completely frozen. Jiraiya came up to me, leaving the astonished-looking three behind. "Arina, come down."

I looked up at him, tears of blood streaming down my face. "I didn't mean to, JJ. I didn't mean to. I can't believe I…lost control…again. I'm sorry…I…need to find Tsunade."

I smiled through my tears, approaching the man who was still lying on the ground. "I am truly sorry for causing you so much pain. It was out of line, and I apologize. You don't have to forgive me, but I just…I'm sorry."

I walked over to the counter where Teuchi was standing. "I'm sorry for causing such a disturbance, Teuchi."

He nodded in acknowledgement. I walked up to the orphans from Ame. "I'm sorry you had to see that, guys," I laughed nervously.

"I didn't see them touch you," Nagato said. "Yet you're bleeding. Are you okay?"

"Huh?" I looked at him. "Well, I'm surprised you could see anything at all! No, they didn't touch me. I was crying, and-" I gestured to my face, where blood still stains my cheeks. "This is what comes out. It's no biggy. I have to go now, tell Teuchi to just put it on my tab. Eat your hearts out!"

I waved goodbye skipping away.
