Forbidden Reincarnation Chapter 1 – The beginning of a Taboo meeting.
I'm seeing it once again. A red garden of wondrous word to describe it. Where am I?
Don't worry… I'm here to protect you…
Yes… It's that gentle voice.. Calling out to me like a lullaby. Who are you?
I'm …
That's all I could hear before everything swirled into redness. In the end, my only question is… Why is that voice so… familiar?

Somehow, without particular reasons, he came to a conclusion. He hated winter. Why you ask?
"It's just plain boring!" The blond head replied his course mate with a bored tone.
"Why? It's a season of love and cuddling!" Sakura said dramatically or so in Naruto's point of view.
"Are you sure there is no sex advantage included?" Blue eyes eyed the girl with suspiciously.
"Of course not!" She answered immediately.
"Then can you tell me how did Kiba always ended up on the bed naked after the cuddles with his girl friends?" He asked in a faked innocent.
Sakura was paralyzed by Naruto's question.
He smirked and inched closer to Sakura, "Aha! No reply. Means that I'm right. Right? Sa-ku-ra-chan"
"SHUT UP! Argh! It's no use talking to you about this. Change topic!" She pouted with a glare at Naruto.
"Tch… What topic now? I want to go home…"
"I want you to go out with me today!" She said with a 'you must' tone.
"Why and for what?" Naruto frowned.
Then Sakura began to giggle softly to herself.
"Well.. I heard that there is a famous fortune teller at the 9th District.. And you know how dangerous that place is…." She trailed off looking at Naruto with a sweet smile.
"Don't worry. They won't choose you to rape." Naruto grabbed his bag and turned around. Just before he step out from the class, he felt and intense murderous aura emitting from behind.
"Oh.. Shit… I'm in deep trouble." He took a deep breath and turned around with a smile.
"Sakura-chan…?"
Sakura was smiling at him with an obvious vein popped out as she cracked her knuckle.
"Kind to repeat what you have said? I think I have a hearing problem these days."
Naruto gave out a sheepish smile, "Oh.. I said.. Let's go. I'm very glad to escort your highness to the 9th District as your beauty with sure get you in trouble."
"Very good. Shall we go then?"

"Give up on it, Sakura." He said with a tired tone.
"NOOO!! I got to find her. I can't waste my time in vain!" Sakura exclaimed as she look around.
"Geez… I just don't understand you girls.. Why do you believe so much in this kind of thing? Besides, you are wasting more of your time if you keep on looking."
Sakura stopped and looked down on the floor sadly, "But but… I really want-.." Suddenly, she trailed off and ran across the road.
"Sakura!!" Naruto quickly ran after her.
"Why did you run?" He said after taking a deep breath.
"I found it!" She squealed happily.
Naruto raised an eye brow, "Huh?"
"The fortune telling shop, you idiot!" She gave him an irritated look.
"Oh… Good for you then. Now get in and get everything done quickly. I'm tired." He gave out a small yawn.
"You are useless…." Sakura muttered before turning around on her heels and opens the door of the shop but then she stopped which cause Naruto to bang into her a little.
Naruto hold his nose as he tried to rub off the pain, "Now what?"
"Erm… Why don't you go in first?" She gave him a sheepish smile.
Naruto gave her a frown, "Huh? Why?"
"Don't ask so much. Just get it!" She got behind of Naruto and pushed him into the shop. Then just when she tried to open the door to get in, the door just would not budge.
"Huh….? What? Hey! Why it's locked!!? It was okay a minute ago!!!!" She was practically kicking and punching the door until she saw words materialized on the door.
No use kicking or punching.. One customer at a time.. Wait for your turn…Miss Sakura…
Sakura felt a shiver running across her spine.
"Did words just materialized…. My name.. AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Without hesitating, she turned around and ran off, forgetting about Naruto.

Meanwhile, in the shop Naruto was trying hard to pull the door open but yet, it the same condition as Sakura; it just would not budge. After pulling for 5 minutes, he gave up.
"Argh! I give up. Might as well enter and look for other exit."
It was dark and gloomy in the shop.
"No wonder she pushed me in first… Hehehe.. She might look brave but she is afraid of the dark.." Naruto gave out a quiet snicker and then continued in.
Passing along, he spotted some black candles, occult books and.. SKULLS?
"Wait! Are that even real skulls? It looks real to me… Hmm…" Naruto frowned as he tried to investigate the skulls without touching it but soon he gave up because there is no way to check it without touching the skull which he very much avoid that.
Then he proceeds into a room and found a black coffin situated in the middle with crosses all around. At that moment, Naruto found himself sweating cold sweats.
"Need not be afraid. Come in…" A voice called out to him through the vile.
Naruto avert his eyes away from the coffin and saw a blurry figure seated behind a small table through the vile. He swallowed back his saliva a moved stealthily passed the coffin to the other room as if the coffin would open up and drag him into the depth of hell. When he was out from the room, he let out a deep breath that he had unconsciously been holding up.
"Was it that scary?" The voice chuckled when she saw him looking relieved.
Naruto turned to the owner of the voice and was amazed beyond words. He used to think that fortune teller was some old creepy lady who was just lying around to get some money for living but seems to him, now it was not a bad idea to follow after all.
Sitting behind the small round table was a girl with long pretty hair. She wore normal casual clothes but all were dark colored. Nothing light and that brought out the color of her pale skin. Before Naruto noticed anything, his mouth was gaping in awed.
"Have a sit, Mr. Uzumaki…" She said softly and gently. Naruto nodded and sat down as if he was in a trance. Then suddenly he noticed, how did she know his name?
"Wait a minute.. I haven't even introduced myself, how did you know my name?" Naruto asked in disbelieve.
She smiled at him, "I know everyone of my customers.. I know who will be entering my shop today… And your presence is predicted. However, your friend won't be entering."
He frowned, "Why? She's just outside."
"You'll see…." The fortune teller gave out a creepy chuckled which made Naruto had some fear for her as well.
"Okay…."
"Oh.. How rude of me. I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Haku. That's all…"
Naruto nodded quietly.
"Now what do you want to know? Or I presumed you have no intention to enter this shop at all." Haku trailed off.
He thought for a moment before nodding.
Haku smirked, "Then I'll begin with a few questions."
The blond nodded and stared at him.
"So…"
"Wait… Don't you need a séance?" Naruto interrupted suddenly which caused Haku to felt a little irritated.
"….. No I don't need one… I create one. That's what real fortune teller does." Haku replied.
"Oh… I see…"
"Can I start now?" Haku said politely as she tried to hide her irritation.
"Yeah.. Yeah.. Sorry to interrupt." Naruto scratch the back of his head with a sheepish smile.
Haku gave out a satisfied smile and closed her eyes; fully concentrating. The room was extremely quiet. No disturbance from the area surrounding it. It's just as if the whole place is being barred with another dimension way different that the one he knows.
"Do you believe in reincarnation?" She asked after a moment of silence as she opened her eyes along with the question.
"No.."
"Why?"
"Because life goes on and ends when it stops. There is no such thing as reincarnation."
"Even if true?"
"Then where is the proof?"
"You are."
He stoned for a moment, wondering whether he heard the right thing or not.
"Huh? Wha…" Naruto frowned at Haku with his mouth gaping in awed once again. "What do you mean by that? Are you joking around?" He stared at Haku as if trying to look for a hint of lying in her eyes but there is none.
"You are still connected to your past. A deep connection…." Haku said seriously.
"I don't understand what you are saying…"
"You don't need to understand now. You just need to remember.." Haku paused for a moment as if wondering should she tell him or not. "Someone is waiting for you…" She trailed off sadly.
Everything seems to stopped with time. Naruto gave out a chuckled suddenly.
"Stopping playing a fool on me, sister. Anyway, thanks for the piece of advice. I hope that the person you mention is someone drops dead gorgeous lady. Tee hee.. I had to go now. It's kind of late. How much is it?" Naruto smiled at her politely.
"It's okay.. I wasn't helping much.. It's free.." Haku returned the smile.
"Oh.. Cool.. Then I guess I'll go now.. Bye!" Naruto turned around to leave but then Haku called out to him.
"Oh, Naruto?"
Naruto stopped and looked back, "Yeah?"
"I'm a guy."
Naruto froze in horror. "What!?"
Suddenly everything around him swirled. Naruto found his vision blurred up as Haku began to disappear from his sight. Just before everything went black, he heard Haku muttered softly but audible to him.
"Good bye and good luck. Don't forget the past…"
XXX
"How was it?" A figure asked Haku.
"It was okay.. It is him.. I saw parts of the past in him…" Haku replied sadly. "How sad…"
"Enough.. I don't want to hear anymore." The figure turns around to leave.
"Say… He's an idiot. Are you sure he can remember?"
The figure stops and turned around with a smirk, "Yes, I'm sure. He's my dobe after all." With that, the figure continued his way out, leaving Haku all alone in the shop.
"Only you can save him, Naruto…"
XXX
He smelled a dumpster when he regained conscious. "What the… Eww… It's so smelly…." He took a look around and found himself in a dark alley.
"Say… Wasn't I at that weird fortune teller shop…? How did I end up here???"
Naruto sighed in frustration when he realized that no one would answer him. He stood up and dusted his body before picking his bag up.
"I guess I'll go home and get some rest.. It's been a weird day for me…"
XXX
Naruto yawned for the umpteenth time in the morning. It was not a good night of sleep for him last night.
"Are you okay, Naruto?" Sakura asked with concern at her tired friend which was returned with a glare.
"Yeah right.. That's from someone who dumped me aside and ran home." Naruto said sarcastically.
Sakura gave him a small laugh, "What…. I was afraid.. You know how creepy that place is…"
Naruto just stared at her, "Am I hearing that from a girl who is never afraid to stalk someone?"
"Shut up!" Sakura blushed furiously at Naruto's comment.
The door opened and a man with a scar across his nose entered the class.
"Settle down." Immediately, all his student in the class sat down in their respective sit quietly. He smiled with satisfaction.
"Seems like we got a new student. Come in, Uchiha."
A raven haired boy entered the room with a cold demeanor.
"Name is Uchiha Sasuke. Propose of entering this college is because out of boredom. For a more personal reason, I'm chasing after a certain blond." He flashed Naruto a dangerous look that only Naruto noticed when he said 'a certain blond.'
"Those eyes seemed awfully familiar…"
