Chapter 1: Happy birthday to you?

As the blonde jumped out of his bed, and ran to his bathroom, he couldn't wait till he goes to school. Naruto was finally 15 years old, legal to get a girlfriend. He felt fresh and in charged. He took a shower, gotten dressed, and brushed her shagged blonde hair back, just to look cool.

"Show time!" he said to himself, looking at himself in the mirror. Then he ran down stairs to meet up with his grandmother, Tsunade.

"Monrin', Grandma!" Naruto greeted.

"Well, good morning, Naruto," his grandmother said. "How are you?"

"Do you know what today is?" the blonde asked.

Tsunade laughed. "Now, how could I forget about my grandson's birthday?"

Naruto smiled. "Yea! You remembered!"

The grandmother pulled out a box with wrapping. "Here."

Naruto took the box opened it, only to frowned. Well, it's a whole lot better than a box of condoms he gave me last year. "What is it, Grandma?"

"It's a mummified demon claw," the old woman said. "It has been passed down the Uzumaki ancestors for many years."

Naruto only frowned and dropped the box. "I'm going to school." He ran out the door, crossed the plain. He skipped to the stairs, but then paused. He saw the Uzumaki shrine doors opened.

Naruto skipped to the small house. Why the doors are open? It has been abandon for years. As he gotten to the doors, he looked inside, looking if someone was in there. There wasn't but only a sound. In front of him, there was an old well. It looks like at least 100 years old.

Hm? Naruto went to the well, and then sat on it. He smiled. Then, where is the sound coming from?

All of a sudden, hands came around the boy and pulled him into the well. Naruto froze in fright, and then gasped. He was in the grasped of a monster that looked like a centipede. It licked his cheek.

"Aw….You have the power." The monster said.

What?

"Give it to me!" the monster ordered.

Naruto started to freak out and smacked to monster. "No! Get away!"

His hands started to glow red and it burned the monster. The monster fleeted and Naruto had landed, panting. He looked at his hands. How did I do that? He looked up and saw the sky. He climbed out of the well, and looked around. He found himself in a meadow of grass.

"Whoa" he said to himself. "What is this?" He said to walk around. Where's the shrine? And my house? Where's everything?

Then he came across a big tree. On the tree was a dark-haired boy with cat ears.

A boy? Naruto walked up to the tree to get a better looked of the boy. The dark-haired boy looked beautiful and appears to be sleeping.

"Hey,' Naruto said to the boy. "Are you okay?"

"Hey! You get down from there!"

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Naruto was in the hands of 3 men that were carrying him. What?! What's going on!?

-----

Naruto was taken to a village, tied up. Villagers stared and gossiped about him. Naruto frowned. This was supposed to be a good day. It's my birthday, for crying out loud!

"Make way for the priestess, Ino!"

Coming towards the blonde, there was an elderly woman coming his way. She didn't frown but stared at him.

It can't be! The woman thought. I just can't be! She had gotten closed to the boy. "Let me get a closer look, boy!" She touched his face and neck.

Naruto was getting pissed off. What the hell?!

The woman sighed. "I'm sorry. We all thought you were a demon. You just happen to look like my sister, Sakura. We found you in Sasuke's Forest."

"It's fine," Naruto said. "Now, can you untie me?"

The 3 men that tied him before had untied him. Naruto felt freed.

"Come, boy", Ino said. "You must be hungry."

"I guess," Naruto said.

---

Naruto was full. "Ah! Thanks, lady! That meal was great!"

Ino was annoyed. "My name is Ino!"

"Whatever!"

"Where are you from?" Ino asked.

"Um….Tokyo?" Naruto said. Where ever that is…..

"Strange place. Never heard of it."

Naruto sighed. This birthday sucks.

Then, bloody screams came from outside Ino's hut.

"What is the meaning of this?" She gotten up and went outside.

Naruto followed. Once outside, he gasped, feeling his meal coming back up his throat. There was a dead horse, crying in pain, in front of the hut. When he looked up, he saw the same monster that pulled him in the well. It was back!

"Oh no!" Naruto said under his breath. "It came back for me!"

"You must run, boy" Ino said. "You must run away from here."

But where? Naruto looked around. Then, he saw glowing light in the forest he came from. There? Should I go there? He ran towards it.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Ino called out.

"The light", Naruto said. "I'm going to the light!"

Meanwhile, the dark-haired opened her eyes and smiled. "Well, Sakura. It seems that you're coming this way, eh? Heh. I hope you have 9 lives, because I'm ready for you."

In his view, he could see her; the blonde girl running towards him, in tears and sweat. The boy smirked, and then frowned. Wait! That's not Sakura.

There was a blonde boy coming towards him in tears and sweat, being chased and a centipede demon.

Damn! How did I mistake a boy for her? I must be out of my mind.

"Hey!" the blonde said. "You're awake! That's good. Maybe you can help me."

But, why does he looks so much like her?
