Long ago in the Hidden Leaf Village there had been a terrible tragedy. A fearsome beast known as the Nine Tailed Fox had come forth to wreak havoc on all who stood in his way. Many Shinobi risked their lives to try and fend off the creature, only to had been slaughtered in its' wake. Only one Shinobi had been able to make a move against the fearsome beast: the Fourth Hokage. Using the rest of his chakra that he sealed the fiend within his newborn son, Naruto.
With his final breath he had wished for his son to be seen as a hero and praised for his sacrifice as he laid in the arms of his dying mother. However, unlike what his father had planned for his only child, many people had only saw the child as a monster. All but the Kajiwara clan had turned the young boy away. The youngest daughter of the Kajiwara was the one who made the first move. While the clan at first had not problem with them, she was the one who welcomed him in.
Her name was Eureka Kajiwara, a young female of age twelve. Just like the many others of her clan, she was unnaturally pretty. Some would say that they were all almost doll like. Her hair was a mint greenish shade of aquamarine, it went to her lower back while her bangs went to her chest but were pushed to the left of her face. She kept her hair hanging in large waves with only a hibiscus flower hair clip holding her bangs out of her face, keeping her porcelain skin in view..
Her eyes were slightly slanted and were lilac in color. More often than not, her eyes held a cold look to them, it added to her creepy doll like looks. She dressed in a black pair of black leggings, an elastic no sleeved shirt with the bottom going slightly below her hips and had a black hoodie attached to it, and a pair of black ninja sandals. For others, it was strange that someone like her to be friends with someone like Naruto. While he had his serious moments, he was nothing short of a goofball, not to mention he was the most hated person in Konoha.
She wasn't hated, but she wasn't loved either. The villagers respected her and her family, and that was as far as their feelings for the Kajiwara's would go. Eureka acted like royalty, not in a sense of being rude or believing she was above everyone but more so how she held herself. She was quiet and polite, she was an excellent student, and above all, she was graceful but her tongue was sharp and she had mercy on few to none when it came to her words. She and Naruto sat in the front rows of the class, having a decent conversation as always.
"Do ya think if we ask, your mom will make ramen tonight?"
Naruto lived with her, and every thursday they'd let him pick dinner since they wanted him to always feel welcomed into their family. To no one's surprise, he always chose ramen for the night's course. Of course, Eureka got to pick the desserts.
"Mother has yet to turn you down, I'm sure she'd have no problem making it this time as well. Maybe tonight for dessert we could have some of Grandmother Gekuna's red bean mochi?"
Naruto's eyes lit up at the idea of it. He loved Gekuna more than anything in the world! Sure there was Ora, Eureka's mother, and sure there was the rest of the Kajiwara family, but no one told stories like Grandma Gakuna!
"So long as she tells us more stories!"
Before Eureka could reply to him, the door had slammed open and two girls appeared, being as noisy as they always were. Lilac eyes turned from her friend to the two girls huffing and puffing at the door like mad, blonde and pink hair blown by the wind they made while running.
"First!"
They shouted in unison, and Eureka couldn't help but roll her eyes. They weren't children, rushing to school was no race, though she knew very well why they had rushed: Sasuke Uchiha. Eureka herself wasn't too fond of him, he was without manners in her opinion, but girls went wild for him.
"What do you mean?! Obviously I was here first billboard brow!"
"Nu-uh! My toe was in before you were, and you know it, ya pig!"
"Oh dream on! My chest was in before your toe was!"
"You wish!"
Eureka wished she could just hit them, it was morning time and here they were being as loud as animals. How were their parents going to marry them off if this is what they'd do in the morning? Though she wouldn't say it out loud, Eureka would be surprised if any man would try to go for their hand.
"Hey Sakura! What's up?"
Her eyes shot towards her blond haired friend, somewhat annoyed. She had forgotten that Naruto was head over heels for the pink haired girl. Eureka still couldn't find a reason as to why, but she didn't bother him with it. He stood and walked down a step, waving to her with the same closed eyed foxy grin he normally sported. Both girls turned their attention to him before rushing over.
Naruto couldn't get a word out before he was roughly pushed out of the way. Eureka quickly moved from her seat and caught him before he fell, a look of alarm in her wide eyes.
"You okay, Naruto?"
"Yeah, I'm fine…"
Eureka sighed in relief and smiled softly at him and lead him back to their seats. Eureka threw a glare in their direction, but they paid her no mind as they were too busy fawning over what, actually a who, had been behind Naruto.
"Sasuke, can I sit here with you?"
"Hey Sasuke, is this seat taken?"
Both girls spoke to the last Uchiha with the excitement of a child in a candy store. Sasuke just glared at them for a moment before turning to look forward again, once again ignoring them like they were some sort of pest. Eureka had to hold back a snort as she watched them deflate at his obvious rejection.
"Hey Sakura, how about sitting next to me? There's an empty spot next to me!"
Even after just being pushed down buy the girl, he was still eager to talk to her. Eureka had to hold herself when the look of repulsion came across the young girls face.
"As if I'd ever want to sit next to you!"
He frowned, it looked like he had been punched in the gut by what she said. Eureka felt her stomach twist with her growing anger, she wouldn't stand for Sakura doing that when all he did was offered her a seat while her precious boy toy ignored her.
"It's alright Naruto, perhaps someone with some class will sit next to us. Perhaps someone who knows what an inside voice is."
Eureka looked over at Sakura with a cold look, who had surprise in her emerald eyes. Truth be told, the only thing that Eureka liked about her had been her green eyes and her pink hair. They were beautiful, they reminded her of other family members she had. All Eureka wished was that Sakura would be much more ladylike like her family members were. The look of surprise turned to one of shameful anger.
"You're just jealous 'cause Sasuke likes us more than you! He wouldn't even give you the time of day!"
"That's the least of my concerns. If it ever makes the list, that is."
Sakura and Ino were taken aback for just a moment before it turned to a look of scorn and hatred. Eureka could already tell how they were feeling, how dare someone as she say such a thing about their precious Uchiha Sasuke? However, a voice she never thought she would hear.
"The feeling's mutual."
It was none other than the Uchiha himself who had spoken up. He was looking back at her with a glare and she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She hadn't the chance to open her mouth to say anything, much less to think of a reply, before Naruto had gone missing from the seat next to her.
"Who're you to talk to her like that, ya punk?!"
Naruto had squatted in front of Sasuke, glaring at the male. Sasuke glared right back after he recovered from his shock.
"You think you're someone special or something?"
Eureka couldn't believe her eyes, actually no…she really could. She just hadn't expected him to move like that! Once more before she could speak, she was interrupted.
"Naruto, what are you doing?!"
Both girls had a look of horror, but it was only Sakura who had spoken up. Eureka almost face planted, she hated it when Sakura yelled or screamed. Her voice was just too high pitched!
"Oops! My bad! Huh?"
Sakura went silent, just like the rest of the room. A person had bumped into Naruto and since he and Sasuke had been face to face, the accident had resulted in them kissing. It took the both of them a moment to realize what happened, and when they did both pulled away, spitting and rubbing their mouths.
"Na...Ru...To….!"
The sound of cracking knuckles could be heard as almost all the girls rose from their seats with looks of hellish anger painting their faces. They all lunged, Sakura being the closest to Naruto, had her fist ready to hit the blonde haired clutz. In panic, Eureka couldn't stop herself from jumping in front of him.
"Eureka!"
