the first part and the one later on.
There is More Than Two
Chapter 1
A girl sat on her window sill staring at the full moon hanging in the winter sky. Her hair reflecting the shine of the moon to anyone standing behind and her gray orbs seemed to light with a silver glow. She sat there as she thought about her dreams for the future and past and how it could have been different, maybe less painful. As her clock, that stood on her nightstand behind her in the dark room, struck midnight she got up from her place and crawled into bed. With one last glance at the sky outside and then closed her eyes to sleep.

Konoha Village
It was a dark and stormy night. The winds blew with a ferociousness not known to happen but once in a lifetime in a place such as this. The forest whipped and thrashed in the storm as the branches did a harsh and abrupt dance in the wind. The sky was clouded over with cloud with the look of rain coming, but if you looked closely you could see a glow that was the only evidence of the full moon that night.
In the distance if you looked closely you might be able to see the column of light extending from the earth to the clouds, in the middle of the forest. Fortunately one person did see this, one that was not in joining the sleeping minds of the residents of Konoha Village.

Naruto was awake on this one night, sitting at his window watching the storm blow through the village. He watched the storm as he reflected on the reason everyone in the village seemed to hate him, the reason he was sitting here alone this very minute. From this window he could see across the top of the forest to the miles of cloud that covered the sky. As he looked at the darkness he saw a light in the distance. It looked like a column of white electricity going vertically down to the ground.
Naruto was instantly afraid for the forest that offered him shelter from the village when he was younger and still to this day. He quickly got up grabbed his orange jacket and was out the door to check if a fire had started from that lightning touch in the forest. As he ran out his door and out of the building he wondered if he should get someone to help with the fire. He instantly dismissed this idea as a flash of what he had been pondering earlier came back to him; nobody would be please with him waking them up this late. With that he set off toward the forest.
After about 5 minutes of the trees rushing past him in a blur of dark figures, Naruto got his first whiff of smoke like something was or had been burning. He knew he was near the spot where the lightning had touched.
He then jumped to the middle of a clearing that he had not noticed before on his trips through the forest. Around him the ground was black like there had been a fire, but there were no flames nor was it raining. In the middle of the clearing there was what looked to be remnants of a tree. It looked as if something had gone and split a hole down the middle of the trunk. All that was left was the stump of the tree jutting out from the center.
Naruto walked closer to get a better look and what he found amazed him. In the center of the tree where it looked like the force had come from was a girl. She was lying on her side with her knees pulled to her chest with her arms wrapped around them. She seemed to be wearing a tank top and baggy pants, almost like something you would wear to sleep. She also appeared to be asleep or knocked out. The rise and fall of her chest stated otherwise.
Naruto was at a loss, he had no idea what to do. Should he take her back to the village or was she an enemy and would be better left here? She didn't look like an enemy much less a ninja, but even Hinata didn't look like a ninja much either and neither did Haku.
He sat and contemplated this for a few minutes. Even if she was an enemy by the time she woke up he will most likely have taken her to the Hokage or Kakashi. But what if she was an enemy and was too strong for even him. Then again not anyone was able to beat him, the great Uzumaki Naruto. It was settled then he would take her to his apartment and after she woke up in the morning, he would take her to see the Hokage. No problem.
After this he scooped up the girl and carried her to his apartment in the village.
No sooner had he stepped in his apartment than it started to rain outside. It was like the rain had been waiting to get inside before it let soaked the village. Naruto shrugged and carried the girl to his bed and set her down, he noticed the Goosebumps on her arms and pulled the blankets up and over her body. He then promptly grabbed a chair and sat down next to the bed to watch and make sure nothing happened. By this time the clock read it to be around 2 in the morning and exhaustion settled in for Naruto and he fell asleep right where he sat.
~6am in the morning~
Naruto woke with a start. It took him a few seconds to remember why he was asleep in a chair and looked toward the bed. The clouds out side had disappeared and the sun was peeking up over the horizon. Now in the better light Naruto got a better look at the girl.
She looked to be about his age if not younger. She had blonde hair currently put up in a messy bun. She had a thin face that was easily dominated by her lips in their cherry red color and by the size you could tell her eyes would be when opened.
When Naruto was brought out of his thoughts of how he thought she would look when she awoke it was already 8 am. Naruto panicked when had it gotten so late. He was going to be later that Kakashi-sensei usually was, but what could he do he couldn't just leave a potential enemy alone in his apartment. He would have to wait here for her to wake up. There was no use trying to wake her up he knew from experience that when someone was tired there was no waking them up until they decided to.
Naruto quickly rushed to the other room the change clothes and start to boil water for something to eat. After he was done he grabbed his food and went back to his bedroom and sat on the chair eating his ramen.
~9am~
Before long there was a knock on the door and Kakashi stepped into the tiny apartment.
"Hey, Naruto the least you could do is tell us you weren't ." Kakashi started to say but with a look into the room he stopped. He had a surprised look on his face as he took in the scene.
"Well, I see you have been busy," he lifted his eyebrows suggestively.
"Wha. No, I was just watching her," Naruto said with a blush staining his cheeks, "I found her in the forest last night. I don't know what to do with her. She hasn't woken up yet."
No sooner were these words out of his mouth then the girl on the bed groaned and rolled to her side that was facing Naruto and his teacher. Slowly her eyes slid open to reveal large gray orbs. A gray so deep it seemed you could see little storm clouds floating around inside. Her eyes widened as they took in her surroundings and she sat up on the bed.
"Well I guess that takes care of that little problem," Kakashi stated.
"Where am I?" the girl asked. Her voice was slightly lower in tone to most of the girls of the village with a slight melodic tone to it.
"You are in Konoha Village," said Kakashi.
"And pray tell where is that?" the girl asked timidly.
"Konoha Village, my dear, is the ninja village in the center of the fire country," answered Kakashi.
"I am in the Fire country?" she said a little surprised.
"Yes, and might I ask where you are from?" he questioned.
"Um.well I guess I am from the uh.Stone country, I think," she said with confusion.
"You mean you don't know?" Naruto suddenly said from the side. The girl gave a start she hadn't really noticed him until now when he spoke.
"Uh.no? The stone country just sounds familiar to me," she said sheepishly.
"Interesting," Kakashi said with a thoughtful look.
"So. what are we going to do with her Kakashi- sensei?" Naruto asked.
"I guess we should take her to the Hokage only she can say what to do with her," Kakashi replied.
"Well, let's go. I have been sitting here all night watching over her."
"Oh, I'm sorry," the girl said in what seemed to be horror, "You shouldn't have to wait for me. You should have woken me up. I'm sorry," said with what looked close to tears.
"No, no it's ok. I'm just tired of sitting," Naruto quickly reassured her, while Kakashi looked on with a worried face. She seemed so scared that Naruto would be angry with her for making him wait so long. What could have happened to her to make her act like an animals prey, so quickly to please?
"First before we leave, Naruto, do you think she can borrow some clothes of yours until she gets some warmer clothes. Its sunny outside , but its still very cold." Kakashi asked.
"NO, I mean no I fine. I'm used to cold weather with not much clothing i'll be fine," she said eagerly.
"Alright, calm down. It's all right. What's your name then? We'll settle for just that before we go," said Kakashi calmly.
"Oh, I'm sorry my name is Karasu."
