Introduction:

Hey! I'm Uzumaki Narumi; just you're average 8 year-old girl. Well average if you don't count liven in a ninja village, my whisker marks, everyone in the village hating me for who knows what, and oh ya, sometimes falling into trances. Well it never did happen outside my apartment. I never told anybody about my trances, not even Ojii-san (he's the Hokage by the way). The first time it happened in the open was at the academy.

Narrator:

Narumi was taking a quiz at the end of the day when she felt it, a single tingle, a subtle vibration. She quickly took out an orange notebook from her pocket while thinking, "No, not now." The classroom flipped and the desks disappeared into darkness. The darkness transformed into a dead-end alley. In the air, a bunch of random numbers drifted and swirled around Narumi, and back into darkness. She could hear shouts of Demon Lover echoing off the walls. A kuni rushed towards her. Narumi tried to scream and dodge, but found she was unable to do either.

"Narumi!"

In a single blink the classroom came back into place. Narumi swayed a little and had to grip her desk to keep balance. Her sensei, Iruka, knelt down beside her and asked with worry in his eyes, "Are you alright Narumi -chan? You look a bit pale." Narumi gave him a forced smile and an automatic I'm fine. But she wasn't fine, not by a long shot. Especially when she looked at the numbers she had written during the trance.

1+5+2+6=14

1+6+5+8+4+7+2=23

2+1=3 [By the way ALL numerology problems in this fanfiction will be made up. Not real]

Narumi figured out a couple months ago what the numbers mean. It means someone she knows, weather friend or foe, is going to die. She quickly deciphered the problem in front of her. It was her Nee-chan, Rin, she was going to die. Realizing this Narumi paled a bit more. "I think you should lie down in the nurse's office, the while I go see Hokage." Iruka told the sun-kiss blond girl. The girl shook her head and tried to tell him. "I'm fine Iruka-sensei. It happens every once and a while, but I have to see the Hokage right now."

Iruka's fear and worry grew after that statement. He feared that it was the doing of the demon and worried when she said it happened every once in a while. "Hokage-sama needs to hear this. Maybe it would be better if Narumi -chan was there when I explain" Iruka thought before sighing in defeat he told her while kneeling to her level, "Narumi -chan get on my back so we can get to the Hokage Tower faster." Narumi complied after putting her small notebook back into her pocket.

"Mizuki, why did you have to take today off?" Iruka thought before announcing, "The quiz is postponed 'till tomorrow. Study period right now, you may leave when the bell rings." With that Iruka ran to the Hokage Tower in two minutes flat. Iruka set Narumi down before the Hokage Office. They greeted, "Hokage-sama/Hi Ojii-san!" The old Kage smile warmly, while Iruka scolded Narumi, "HE'S THE HOKAGE NARUMI! TREAT HIM WITH RESPECT!" Sarutobi reassured him, "It's alright Iruka, but what are you two doing here? Couldn't be for a simple hello, the academy hasn't even let out yet." Iruka answered, "Correct Hokage-sama. You see Narumi -chan here went into a kind of trance. I couldn't help but fear it was because of a certain tenant."The Hokage nodded understanding, while Narumi had a look of confusion. "Tenant? What are you talking about? This happens from time to time. Oh and I need to see Rin-nee."

"Narumi-chan, if this trance has happened before why didn't you tell me? And why do you need Rin?" The Hokage asked the girl like a granddaughter. Narumi shifted uncomfortably. "The trances aren't something I'm exactly proud of. They're really scary. They mean someone I know whether I like them or not, is going to die. According to the trance it's nee-chan, maybe if I warn her I can save her." Iruka put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Hiruzen thought for a moment. "I'll send for Rin if you tell me about these trances and get a checkup at the hospital. I'll have Jiraiya check the seal then."

Narumi smiled and answered, "Deal Ojii-san. I guess I'll start explaining the trances. It always happened in m apartment, on top the Hokage monument, or in the forest. You know where no one else but me is there. Well, besides this time. The first one was when I was about 4, just after getting kicked out of the orphanage. Anyway the trance always starts with a small vibration, then the room flips and everything blackens out. The darkness transforms is depending what the trance is on. Like this time it turned into a dead-end alley. After that random numbers flout around me and go back into darkness. The final thing is I see how a person is going to die; it would run towards me usually. If it was by kuni it would speed towards me from out of the darkness, and if it were something like a fire jutsu it's the same deal. The only thing is that I snap out of the trance before it hits. During the trance I would write down number problems. I didn't know what the numbers meant for about a year to a year and a half. See I was running from a mob when I took refuge in a book store. Bukku, the man who runs the store was really nice. He said I could look around and I went and looked at the math section to try to figure out the trances. I went back there 25 different times until I discovered it was a type of numerology. To be specific it was Chaldean's system of numerology. The vibrations from the equations tell me who is going to die. Though there can be different people with the same vibrations. This time they are the same as nee-chan's vibrations. I have to warn her if it is her. May I go warn her now?"

The Hokage answered, "Hai Narumi-chan, but first," Narumi mentally groaned, "I'd like to place this as an S-class secret. Only the Hokage and Narumi may share this secret. And Narumi, I'd like you to report to either Iruka or I when you get a trance. Narumi nodded and replied, "Hai Ojii-san. Can we go now?" The Hokage smiled at her. "Hai," The aged Kage answered. "Iruka can you take Narumi to the hospital, it should still be Rin's shift. I have some evil paperwork to complete." After a respectful yes from Iruka, the two said their good-byes to the Hokage before leaving the Hokage to his paperwork.

On the way to the hospital Naru was debating with herself how she was going to tell Rin. (What, it's not like I could say, "Hi nee-chan, I get these trances from time to time that let me know that someone I know is going to die. And oh ya And I just had one on you. Well good-luck, see ya latter, don't die on me." Ya that is just asking to send me to a mental institute.) Narumi had to find a better way to tell her. Before Narumi knew it they were at the hospital. She took a deep breath. "It's now or never I guess." Iruka and Narumi both walked into the hospital. They walked up to the receptionist, who through a hatful glance to Narumi before forcing a smile on her face. "How may I help you?" She asked in a very sickly sweet tone. "We came to see Rin-san." Still continuing to fake smile she told him, "She's doing an emergency surgery on a team member that just got back from a mission. Maybe you should just come back later."

"Can't," Iruka said, "Hokage's orders." She frowned slightly at this; she couldn't go against the Hokage. She quickly put her fake smile back up. "Of course, you can sit outside the emergence room. I'll show you where." She escorted the two to an emergency room with benches in the hallway. "You may see Rin-san once she is done," With that the receptionist walked back to her desk. Iruka and Narumi sat down on a bench. It seemed like an eternity for Narumi, thought it was only 30 minutes. She had this fear that Rin, her nee-chan would reject her if she told. But what other choice did she have?

Anyway Rin walked out of the emergency room to be hug attacked by Narumi, who screamed. "NEE-CHAN!" Iruka smiled at her antics before walking over to them while Rin asked her little sister, "Naru-chan what are you doing here?" At that moment Narumi's blood ran cold. After a minute she shook it off and answers timidly. "I have I secret nee-chan and I need to tell you it. You see I get these...trances from time to time. In the trances I see how people are going to die. During the trance I write down several number problems. The vibrations of the problems tell me who is going to die." Narumi pause before continuing. "I had a trance today and the vibrations were the same as yours. I came to warn you to be careful." Rin looked at Narumi in disbelief. "You're joking right. This is just another prank." Iruka shook his head. "No she's telling you the truth. I saw her when she was in the trance." Narumi looked at Rin with pleading eyes, "Nee-chan, please be careful. I don't want to lose you." Rin asked Narumi', "Do you know when it will happen?" Narumi shook her head. "I don't but it usually happens in a few days to a few weeks after the trance. Will you be careful, please you have to." Rin ruffled Narumi's hair playfully. "I promise to be careful Naru-chan. I won't be dying on you so easily." Narumi pouted at the nickname but felt better hearing her promise. They said their good-byes before departing from the hospital.

A Week Later:

Narumi was called to the Hokage's office. When she entered there was a look of sadness written on the old man's face. Narumi knew something was wrong. In a gentle voice the Hokage told heR, "Narumi-chan, last night Rin was attack by a mob and was, killed." Tears started to form in Narumi's eyes. "NO!" She yelled while shaking her head. "YOU'RE LYING! SHE PROMISED SHE'D BE SAFE! SHE PROMISED!"

"I know it is hard to except Narumi," the Hokage said trying to calm her, "but it will only get harder if you keep dining it." Naru wiped the tears in her eyes. "H-Hai." She looked up at the old Kage. "Ojii-san, when is the funeral?"

"One week from today. Are you going to be okay Narumi-chan?" He answered/asked. She nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Better go find something for the funeral. Ja ne Ojii-san." Narumi rushed out of the Hokage's office.
