Memoir Girl

Disclaimer: I don't own the Naruto Characters but I own the original characters that star in this story and the plot.

ZuZu's Authors note: This is my first story on this site, the profile and name LovingTheOgre is shared with myself and Sera, who had written tons of these fics and since it's shared I decided to just post one up. This was a bit of a challenge mind you, as Sera had given me a sort of plot that I tweaked to make it a bit on the romantic side, and since I myself am not a big fan of Sasuke and Naruto themselves, it proved to be quite difficult though they are rarely in the story.

Present day Japan

Yusura Uzumaki was an average girl living with her widowed mother Yoshi Hiroto-Uzumaki and older brother Kazuma in Miyo Bay-Shizuoka Prefecture. She did what normal girls did and enjoyed the peaceful life and did as she was told most of the time. Kazuma would often pull his blonde hair out while Yusura complained, whined and hollered in a non-to feminine shout about his annoying-ness which the seventeen year old held in the desire to whack his Ramen-Loving, stubborn loud sister on the head.

However everything changed the day of her sixteenth birthday while she was visiting the main branch of the Uzumaki in Tokyo with Kazuma and her mother at her side.

"Why the heck are we comin' all the way from Miyo just to see a bunch of old men? They better have ramen." The blonde girl sad rather loudly into her brother's ear. Her blue eyes were shut, her arms crossed and her mouth in an annoyed thin line.

"Shut up. You should be honored. The Uzumaki main house aint exactly thrilled about us but extended an invitation to celebrate the day of your birth." He poked his sister's tanned whiskered cheek. "You should be excited not wishing for ramen."

"Aw shut up Kazuma! You're just being an idiot besides who needs the main house anyway? All they are is a bunch of old saggy whiskered cheeked freaks who suppress anyone who has actual balls in the family to stand up to them like pop." She smirked. "I'll give 'em hell and avenge father's honor, believe it!"

"Again with that stupid catch phrase, I swear you're a real idiot sister."

Yoshi, their mother, sighed loudly. Her children were just so loud sometimes. Lifted her hands in a slightly protective way and gave them a worried glance, which the driver let out a sigh of relief. He hated loud people in his cab.

"Yusura there is no reason to be so loud now is there? Why don't you calm down and let the joke die ok?"

"Joke? I wasn't joking."

Yoshi looked at her son.

"Kazuma, as Yusura's older brother I'm counting on you to make sure she doesn't get into any trouble. The elders wouldn't appreciate it."

Kazuma nodded.

"Yeah sure easy for you to say mom. Yusura's just gonna be so loud."

"Yeah well, at least I show human emotion all you do is study study study! Ya green eyed freak, that what you are!"

"Oni!" (ogre)

"Ao!" (which can mean either blue or green…which is used for green hear.)

"That's enough already!" Yoshi shouted at her two children. They stopped yelling and hitting, Kazuma had the girl in a head lock, Yusura's fist in mid air a hairs width from his nose. (How they managed to get into that position in a cab no one will ever know) Yoshi coughed. "That's enough you two. Now, when we get there you both better behave."

Her eyes landed on Yusura.

"Especially you young lady. Try and pretend to be somewhat feminine, I would hate to hear them criticize how I raised you both. It's bad enough we'll be treated like pariah when we are there but this is what Nobu would have wanted bless his soul."

Yusura sighed.

"Mom why do you think they invited us? I thought they didn't like us since pop didn't marry into the family." (yes inbreeding is in the Uzumaki family)

"I don't know. Last time I saw or spoke to anyone from the main house was when Kazuma was born."

"Really?" Kazuma asked perking up. "What was it about?"

"They asked that Nobu and I not give you an 'N' name as it was an Uzumaki tradition…I guess since you were half Uzumaki they figured you were less important."

"That's stupid." Yusura said from beside her brother. She uncrossed her arms and gripped her brother's arm tightly. "Just for that Ao, let name all the kids we have in the future with N names. Boys and girls alike!"

Kazuma smiled widely.

"What will our future spouses say?"

"Nothing. They have no say, believe it!"

Yoshi smiled sadly at her children before looking out the window at the passing building and people. She hadn't been in Tokyo since Kazuma's birth, though she knew she shouldn't be surprised by the change the streets now had taken. The people appeared different as well as the air in Tokyo. She couldn't put her finger on it, though she decided it was because she had been gone for seventeen long years.

"Wow! It's HUGE!"

Brought from her musings Yoshi looked up at the house that came into view. Yusura was astonished by it's beauty while Kazuma muttered about rich bastards.

"This is it kids." She said with a smile on her face. "Welcome to the Uzumaki Main house."

Authors note: So the characters are a bit strange aren't they? Well now to go over certain aspects that might be a bit familiar to you and some little things you might not have even noticed.

1) Yusura's catch phrase and her earlier description of having closed eyes, sour face is Naruto's. From the bit of the Anime that I have seen and looking through some pictures from the manga that Sera owns he often looks like this so I incorporated his personality into her. Believe it! Was just too fun to pass up, however I was debating whether or not to use Believe it! Or Dattebayo! Believe it! won.

2) Kazuma's not like Naruto is he? He's kind of whiney and slightly, if not completely stuck up. His eyes are green too so that's a clue to who else these two are related to. If you hadn't guessed that they were Naruto's descendants then there is something quite wrong with you. .

3) The Uzumaki Clan or Main House or what Yusura refers them to as 'Saggy Whiskered Cheeked Men', are Naruto's descendants as well who carried on the Uzumaki blood line which is why they and Yusura and Kazuma have whiskered cheeks and have blue eyes and blonde hair save Kazuma who has green eyes. The Uzumaki clan also practices in inbreeding to keep the bloodline pure and are rather old fashioned and keep to their rules. Their very strict as pointed out in disowning the heir to the main house Nobu Uzumaki for marrying an outsider.
