Naruto Onitenshi Ch. 1

A New Sister

One day konoha was attacked by a great nine tailed fox. One clan stepped up to stop the great beast, and give the fourth hokage time to seal the fox into his new born son, Naruto. This clan was the Onitenshi clan, but this battle cost the clan dearly. All but one of the human members of the clan died, but thanks to their sacrifice the only casualties of that day were the Onitenshi and the fourth's family. The last survivor was a young girl, one year of age, named Amiko Onitenshi.

Four years later

"I'm going to the park, if that's ok?" A five year old with a bird on her head, asks a large man sized barn owl.

"Oh course kinsei-sama." The owl bows it head, as the girl huffs sadly and leaves.

She wasn't really in the mood to go play with other kids, well deal with their parents. She wasn't treated badly, quite the opposite really, everyone treated her with great respect. Respect she hadn't earned, respect for the sacrifice of a family she never knew, respect for a title that a child her age should never have. Even to her clans flock, she is their leader, their kinsei-sama, not a the hatchling she should be, they listen to her when she should be listening to them. That is more pressure than she ever wanted to carry, and no reason to carry it.

That's why when she gets to the park instead of heading to play with the other kids she climbs a tree and watches the sky. The bird on her head moves to her lap and she starts to stroke it's feathers.

"you little beast, where's my money, I should be charging triple for you, ya little monster." The pounding on the door, continues for a few more minutes, until the landlord gets tired and stomps away. Every so often the landlord gets drunk and tries to get more money out of Naruto, even though the third pays his rent. This happens to be one of those days, so Naruto decided to sneak out the back window and go for a walk.

Like usual the villagers all give him dirty looks, not that he knows why, he tries to ignore them but it's hard to ignore everyone, then he sees the park and there aren't to many parents around so he runs over and starts to play.

The parents who are there pull their children away and start heading home, but there are still four or five children left to pay with. Naruto plays happily for two hours until the rest of the parents come and pick up their kids. Naruto watches them go wondering why his parents abandoned him, then goes and sits on a swing, wondering what it would be like to have someone one worrying about you.

Then all of a sudden a girl just a little older than him jumps out of a tree and starts stomping over to him. He is so shocked he doesn't move, when she stops in front of him glaring at him. He does however flinch when she grabs his arm and starts pulling him away from the park.

"Hey where are you taking me?" Naruto demands.

No response.

"Who are you, what do you want?" He starts tugging his arm trying to get free.

Still no response.

He starts to get scared, and then finally gets his arm free. This finally gets a response.

The girl turns around, still angry. "You pissed me off. looking all sad, you aren't supposed to be sad, so you pissed me off. Now I am taking you home and making you happy, like your supposed to be." She grabbed his arm and started dragging him away again, but this time he was so in shock he didn't fight back.

That is until they got to a large and very traditional style compound, like the various clans have, and he remembered that parents don't like him. This got him very nervous, but as he looked around there were no adults, hell there weren't any humans, just a lot of birds, of various sizes, shapes and colors. Some looked like normal birds others were the size of humans, some even had ninja gear or bandages warped around them.

For the first time he took a good look at his... abductor? She is rather small to the point it was hard to tell she was older than him, and very lean like she didn't get enough to eat yet some how still looked health. She has pale skin and long dark blue hair and big round brown eyes, and she is wearing a dark blue crop top and black ninja pants. The bird that is now on her head is also weird looking, it is dark blue the same color as her hair and with some black and white feathers here and there. the bird also has a strange Beck he had never seen before and a very long tail.

"So where are you parents at?" Looking around nervously.

"Dead... yours?" she ask in a somber tone.

"... they abandoned me when I was a baby." he says looking down at the ground.

She turns and looks at him. "I wonder why they had to leave someone like you."

"What?" He glares up at her. "Because they didn't want me, because no one ever wants me."

"I want you here with me right now." He looks at her shocked, then she turns and starts walking again. "Besides I doubt they didn't actually want, I mean your like Sunshine incarnate.. when your not being all sad and stuff. Who told you your parents abandoned you anyways?"

"The adults around the village told me, there always being mean to me for some reason." he Looks down, hoping she doesn't judge him for his weakness, but also unable to hold it all in any longer. So who better to tell then this strange girl that abducted him from the park.

"Oh well don't listen to them, none of them know anything about what is really going on." Finally she stops and enter a room that looks to be a dinning room or maybe a meeting room. "Sit down."

Naruto does as his kidnapper tells him. "So where is everyone, this is a clan compound right? Shouldn't there be a bunch of ninja around?"

She sit down at the head of the table. "Well yeah there should be, but their all dead. This is the Onitenshi clan compound, and I am Amiko Onitenshi the last of the Onitenshi clan. It's nice to meet you, what is your name?"

"Oh" the blonde puts on the biggest smile he has. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I am going to be the next Hokage, dattaboyo."

She smiles "cool I can't wait to see that."

"You believe me!" He asks astonished. No one has ever believed he could do anything before.

"Well yeah, I don't see why you couldn't be Hokage, besides I think it would be pretty cool to have a sunshine Hokage.. no wait the solar Hokage, I like that one." They both start laughing, and joke for a few hours about all sorts of stuff, from Naruto's pranks to Amiko sneaking out of her private lessons, and to the birds of her clan trying to learn how to do the jobs the non-existent human members of her clan should be doing.

"Do you want to go get dinner with me, my treat?" Amiko asks.

Naruto starts to look nervous again. "Oh well um I don't"

Amiko sighs and doesn't let him finish his sentence, she grabs his arm and starts pulling him out the door. "Oh come on, it's just dinner. Hey everyone we'll be back after dinner." She yells back into the house, to the reply of some chirping. By the time they leave the compound he has resigned himself to having to deal with some adult around the village and then losing his first friend when she finds out how much of a freak he is.

And sure enough she goes to one of the restaurants he has had a problem with before.

The owner looks over at them as they walk in, "oh no" he rushes over and tries to get between her and Naruto. "My Lady Onitenshi you must get away from that demon before he hurts you."

Naruto looks down sad, as he expected, he would lose his first friend.

"No he is my friend and I will not get away from him, even if he hurts me!" Or not.

Naruto stares in awe and shock at what just happened. Not only did she not hate him she stood up for him.

"But my lady, that thing could hurt you." The man try to urge her, but to no avail.

"He is not a thing he is my friend, and if he is not welcome here then neither am I. Let's go Naruto, I am sure we can find a better place to eat then this." Amiko grabs his hand again, and start to pull him along, much to the displeasure of the owner.

A few blocks away she finally starts walking at a normal pace again, and he had to know. "Why did you do that?"

"Do what?" She asks, still obviously annoyed.

"Defend me, be my friend, you heard him I'm a monster, so why?" Tears started to well up in his eyes. She turns around and looks at him.

"we have the same eyes." She says looking down. "Well the same look in them. I have never done a single thing to earn anyone's respect yet they all give it to me. I am not a leader, I'm a five year old, but no treats me that way. And it is so lonely, so when I saw you today at the park and you were so happy playing with those kids, kids that treated you like just another kid, not something your not, because your not a monster, you glowed like the sun. And when they left and I saw the pain of loneliness in your eyes, I knew then you are just like me." By the end they were both crying and neither one ashamed.

After they calmed down they kept walking and eventually ended up in front of a ramen stand, whose owner surprisingly treated them nicely and like they were both just another couple of kids, which was refreshing for both of them.

Several bowls of ramen later, then are walking home... well to Naruto's place. When they stop in front of a grubby little apartment building, Amiko's mind is made up.

"Do you want to be my little brother?" She smiles at him hopefully.

"Your little brother? You can do that?" Will she ever stop shocking him.

"Well yeah, I am the head of the Onitenshi clan. We have plenty of room and money, and then neither of us will be alone anymore. What do you say?" She explains.

He jumps into her arms and screams "YES" hurting her sensitive ears. They then head into Naruto's apartment, pack the little stuff he has, only taking them one trip, and head home together for the first time.
