[A/n) what I was thinking when I wrote this part.

This is what I was thinking as I wrote this, and I figured you might want to know too.

A Naruto Story

Chapter One

She walked with a purpose. Nobody had seen the girl before, but they didn't do anything about her coming into the village. The band around her neck wasn't recognizable to anyone in the village, not even the jonin or the ANBU black opps, but ninja from other villages were common during the chuunin exams.

When she spotted her target, she moved faster. He was the main reason she was here, and the chuunin trials were simply a bonus.

Gaara spotted her moments before she got to him. She was now ten feet away from him; nearer than most people got before he crushed them into oblivion.

"What do you want?" he asked, annoyed. She took a step closer and sand rushed up around him, ready to pummel her if she got to close.

"I said, 'What do you want?'" he said again, not raising his voice but making himself clearly heard.

The girl started walking towards him, her hand raised before her. The sand around Gaara started moving toward her at an unnerving rate, then stopped. It recoiled, as if scared, then Gaara saw why.

The girl's hands were wrapped in flame, a fire that was blue as the sky, and Gaara knew that if his sand got too close to the fire it would turn to liquid glass. She came within inches of him and put out one hand. The girl grabbed him by the front of his shirt then pulled him close.

"You're hot," she said and she kissed him. After that, it was over. The girl pushed Gaara to the ground and walked away, waving her hand.

Temari came around the corner and gasped when she saw her brother lying on the ground, a look of total shock on his face.

"Gaara-sama? Gaara, are you ok? What happened?" she shouted as she ran to him. Kankuro was right behind her and said, "Yeah, Gaara-kun, why are you laying on the ground like that?" then helped him up.

Gaara was silent for a moment then, pointing after the girl, said, "That girl pushed me."

"I'll kill her!" Temari snarled, pulling out her fan, but Gaara put his hand on her arm.

"No," he said quietly, "I want her to myself. Kankuro!"

"Yes, Gaara-sama?"

"Find that Kabuto-san. I want to find out more about this girl."

The girl walked back through the village and found a rock under a tree to sit on.

"I know you're there," she said, looking behind her to see the boy that had followed her. He was somewhat tall, with a bowl-style haircut and a green jumpsuit. Definitely the definition of 'White and Nerdy'. [A/n: hey, it's not my fault Weird Al rules…)

"What is your name?" the boy asked bluntly.

"Isn't it custom in this village to give your own name before you ask someone else's?" she asked, turning back around to face the tree.

"Very well, yes. My name is-"

"Rock Lee," the girl cut in. "You're a two year genin who uses only the art of Taijutsu, making it impossible to use the Sharingan Eye against you and helping you defeat enemies from such clans as Uchiha and Hyuuga, if you ever have to or want to face them."

The boy stared at her for a moment, speechless and in shock before regaining his composure.

"Yes, that is right. So your name would be…?" he inquired, so she answered.

"I'm Katra, and that's all you'll need to know about me, seeing as we won't fight each other."

"I hardly think that knowing your first name alone would be adequate knowledge if we are to be boyfriend and girlfriend," the boy replied matter-of-factly.

"What?" Katra scoffed. "And what makes you think that you're going to be my boyfriend?"

"The fact that I asked you before anyone else, I think," Rock Lee replied without hesitation.

"Well, for your information, I'm married," the girl told the boy, showing him the wedding ring on her finger. The boy's jaw dropped.

"But you cannot be married!" he said, disbelievingly. "You are too young!"

"How do you know that in my home land it's not legal? My husband is sitting home right now, hoping that I come out of this alive and there you are, saying he doesn't exist. His heart must be breaking," Katra said, tears coming to her eyes.

"I am sorry," Lee said, then hurried off in the direction of his home.

Looks like we did it again, dad, Katra thought, looking at her father's ring on her hand. If only you were here to see it, huh?

Katra Minehawa's father had died the year before, and now she was on her own. He had been training her since she was strong enough to pick up a shuriken, and even then, she had known ten hand signs.

She looked like a typical twelve-year-old. She was somewhat tall, and she was a bit skinny for her age, but that didn't stop her from being strong. Two of the most unusual things about her were on her head. Her eyes were a kind of pink color, one that no one in recorded history had ever had. The other thing was her hair.

Her hair was a whitish blonde that you normally didn't see on kids over the age of two, and had two large pink streaks in the front, with seven smaller streaks in the back. The weird thing about it was that her hair grew naturally that way. It had always been that way, as long as she could remember, and even longer than that, according to her dad.

Well, Katra thought, looking at the sun, it looks like it's about time to head over to the first chuunin exam, doesn't it?

[A/n: Ok, Katra isn't married. The ring was her father's, and he gave it to her on his deathbed. You're not supposed to find out until later in the story, but nobody seems to understand this… Sheesh!)

"What do you mean, 'no information'?!" Gaara asked angrily.

"I mean, 'I've never heard of her in my life.' I've never seen her, I've never seen the symbol on the headband she was wearing, and I have absolutely no information on her." Kabuto was kneeling in front of Gaara, looking through his whole deck of cards, trying to find 'the girl with the pink eyes and streaks in her hair.'

"Are you sure she didn't mention a name, or a hobby, or something?" Kabuto asked, frustrated. His deck had never failed him before, and he wasn't planning to let it do so now.

"Well, her hands did catch on fire. Will that help?" Gaara asked nonchalantly. Kabuto's jaw dropped.

"Uh, yeah! There are only two ninja in this deck who can do that, as far as I'm concerned; Minehawa Ichigo and his daughter, Katra. Ah! Here they are." Kabuto showed them to Gaara and smiled.

"Uh, Gaara-sama?" asked Kankuro.

"What?!" he hissed.

"Which one's the girl?"

[A/n: Ok, there's controversy (if you can call it that) about this part, too. Kankuro saying, 'Which one's the girl?' doesn't mean that Katra looks like a guy, or that her dad looks like a girl. It simply means they are both very alike in features. That is all.)

"Hey, um, Dad? Do you have any idea as to where we're s'posed to go?" Katra said to the ring on her finger. She new her father wasn't alive, but it was habit, and the ring comforted her. Just then, she noticed a few kids about her age walking towards a larger building.

"…Believe it!" the boy with the blonde hair said as he passed her.

"Naruto-kun!" said the girl with the pink hair. Ha! Katra thought, So there are other people in the world who have pink hair. And you never believed me, did you, Dad?

"What, Sakura-chan?" said the boy Katra now knew to be Naruto.

"If you don't shut up, the whole village will hear our strategy!" Sakura said, hitting the boy on the head.

"What a loser," said a boy with black (or was it blue?) hair and a laid-back demeanor. There was something about him that she recognized, but she just couldn't put her finger on it.

Sakura jumped to his side. "You're absolutely right!" she giggled and looked at him with adoring eyes.

Oh, please! Katra thought. Gimme a break! If he doesn't see that she likes him, he's stupider than her! Then again, I'm the one saying 'stupider'…

Katra crept up behind the trio then, in a very loud and obnoxious voice, said, "Hi!"

Almost immediately she got the reaction that she had wanted. Well, mostly anyway.

Naruto and Sakura jumped, pulled out kunais and screamed. That was exactly what Katra had wanted. But the boy with the dark hair merely slouched and said, "Pathetic."

"Hi!" said Katra again. The pink haired girl, Sakura, and the blonde boy, Naruto, spun around to face her.

"What's up? I'm Minehawa Katra," she said with an innocent smile. Sakura let out a sigh of relief to see that it was just another girl, but Naruto said, "Who are you?!" quite fiercely.

"Baka!" Sakura said to Naruto. "She just told us her name!" She hit her comrade on the head for a second time.

As all of this went on, Katra searched her mental database to remember something about the two standing in front of her. She had already figured out what was peculiar about the boy with the dark hair.

"Hey, you're Uchiha Sasuke, aren't you?" she said, running to stand next to him. He simply looked at her, then nodded his head.

"Is this the way to the chuunin trials?" she asked him, still ignoring Naruto and Sakura (who were fighting like an old married couple). Sasuke looked at her for a second, then said, "Go away," and walked off.

What use is it saying 'Go away' if you're just gonna go away yourself? Katra thought. She looked back at the fighting duo, then remembered why 'Naruto' was a name she recognized. She walked over to him, then bowed her head.

"I am greatly honored to meet you, Uzumaki Naruto-sama," she said without the least bit of humiliation. Both Sakura and Naruto's jaws dropped.

"Hey, Sakura-chan?" he whispered to the pink-haired girl. "Why is this girl bowing to me?" Sakura looked about to shoot her.

"Listen, um, chakra-san or whatever your name is, Naruto isn't special, ok?" said Sakura, looking at her with distaste.

"Not special?!" Katra hissed, looking surprised at the exasperation in her voice. "Naruto should be looked upon with the utmost respect. His body houses the great and powerful Nine-Tailed Fox. It was the fourth Hokage's wish," she said, bowing her head again.

"And you know this… how?" Sakura said with astonishment.

"I'm smart," Katra said simply. "And, by the way, my name is Katra. Kah-chruh. Not too difficult, is it?"

Kaida: Well, I hope you all liked this. looks at clock HOLY $#!!!! Well, I have to get to bed!!! '

Katra: Duh! If your father was home right now, your ass would be beat!
