Naruto was out training in the woods when he saw a girl. She had long black hair, pale skin and large, dark brown eyes. She also had a slender frame and was wearing light brown shirt which fell off her shoulders, and a pair of shredded knee-length pants.

She was on the ground, collapsed.

Naruto started to panic but ended up picking her up and bringing her to a stream. He made her drink some water and splashed some on her face waking up.

"Hello, there" he said.

To his surprised the girl blushed and looked away. Then her stomach growled.

"You are hungry?" she nodded meekly. "Come on." He pulled her up and along.

He brought her to Ichiraku's "Here we can get good food here!" he said and lead her in by her hand.

"Two bowls of ramen please!" Naruto said.

The old man that ran the stand looks at him weirdly. "Only two? That's a little low for you."

"It's not for me, it's for her." he said. And they look at said girl.

"aww, Naruto has a girlfriend." Ayame teased.

"She's not my girlfriend! I just met her!"

"Love at first sight huh?"

"Just make the stupid ramen."

Soon after two bowls of ramen were set in front of the girl, she started to eat slowly, savoring it. She hadn't eaten in two weeks and she didn't know when her next meal was.

The ramen was good in her opinion, she finished the first bowl and started on the second, eating at the same pace. She finished that bowl and bowed her head.

"Thank you for the food." She said.

"Are you sure you don't need more?" Naruto asked.

"No I'm fine." She said and an auditable growl came from her stomach and she blushed.

"Let's get you some more." he smiled at her and she blushed a darker shade of red.

After she was finally full she had eaten five bowls.

"Wow, most girls I know starve themselves," Naruto said and she blushed with embarrassment and slight anger. "And they still don't look half as good as you."

She blushed heavily at this. "Thank you." he smiled at her.

"By the way I'm Naruto! I never got your name?"

"It's Haku." She told him.

"Where do you live Haku?" He asks.

"I don't live anywhere, I'm an orphan."

"Well I won't let you sleep on the street, you can stay with me!" he shouted.

"You don't have to, really." she told him.

"I'm not letting you." he said and paid for the ramen then grabbed her hand and led her to his apartment.

"Naruto-Kun, really you don't have to." She said wondering when it was Naruto-kun

"Haku, I want to."

"But."

"No buts, I want you to live with me." She blushed at this; he wanted her to live with him.

"Okay." She gave in.

Naruto's apartment

When they were at his apartment Naruto opened the door to a mess.

"Heh, heh. Sorry, it's a bit of a mess." He started to clean up some, after all Haku wouldn't like their apartment to look like this.

"Naruto do you have a shower?" she asks.

"Yeah, it's in the bathroom over there." He points.

"Go take one then." She told him.

"Huh?" he said confused didn't she just ask to take a shower?

"You heard me." She pushed him into the bathroom.

"Okay, okay." He stepped into the bathroom and started to shower.

Once he got out he saw all of the mess was clean and currently Haku was making the bed.

"wow." He said, she looked up at him and smiled.

"I cleaned everything I thought if I was to be living with you, I could at least do some of the things around the house, like cleaning and cooking." She said.

"wow." He said again and she giggled.

"I'm going to take a shower okay?" she asks him.

"Yeah, the water is cold though, it always is."

"That's okay I got it covered." She smiled.

A few minutes later Naruto was reading through a chakra control scroll he found and he saw steam coming from the bathroom that threw him off so much. "Steam? The water is always cold though."

Then Haku's voice came from the bathroom. "Um, Naruto-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you have some clothes I can borrow?" she asks shyly.

"Um yeah just a second." He rummaged through his closet and found a t-shirt that would fit her.

"Here" he said and passed it in through the door.

"Thank you." she then came out. The shirt was black and had an orange swirl on it and was way too big for Haku going down to mid thigh. "You have a sewing kit?" she ask him.

"Yeah, why?" She blushed.

"This shirt is all I'm wearing." Naruto noticed that she didn't have any pants on.

"Oh I'll go get it." He gives it to her and she goes back in the bathroom.

When she came out she was in a skirt she made from her rags. It was clean which surprised him.

"Oh before I forget, how did the water get hot?" he asks her.

"That's an ability I have, I can make it hot or freeze it. That's also how I clean my skirt I washed it and removed the water from it." She said worried he would hate her for her ability

"Wow that's cool Haku!" she was happy he wasn't afraid of her for it and smiled at him.

"Yes it is, but I'm tired and want to sleep." She told him.

"But there's one bed."

"We will sleep together." She said in a no nonsense tone. She felt as though he could protect her.

"Um okay."

They got into the bed and Haku Rested her head on his chest using him as her pillow.

"Good night Naruto-kun." She said.

"Good night Haku-Chan." She blushed at this and fell asleep with the blush still on her face.

The next morning

Naruto woke up and saw Haku sleeping soundly. He smiled at her; he could stay like this forever.

Haku's eyes fluttered open and she looked at Naruto. "Morning, Naruto-Kun."

"Morning, Haku-Chan." She smiled at him and rubbed her head against his chest.

"I could stay like this all day." She said.

Naruto looks at the clock and realized he was late. "Me too but I'm going to miss the academy!"

"Academy?" she asks.

"Yea, so I can become a ninja."

"is it possible, I can join?" she asked.

"Um, yeah, I'll ask the Hokage." Naruto said. "But you might have to start a new class."

"Well I make sure I'll join your class."

"How will you do that?"

"I have my ways, don't worry about it."

"um, okay."

Hokage's office

Haku entered the Hokage's office and bowed. "Hokage-Sama is it?" she asked.

"Yes, Young lady. What can I do for you?"

"I wish to join a friend of mine in the academy today, I am an orphan and he told me I would have to see you about it."

"Yes, we can sign you up but you will have to start a new class." He told her.

"Yes but I wish to be in the same class as my friend."

"I understand that but that isn't how things work." Hizuren said sternly.

"hmm, I understand this village has a great love for clans and Kekki genkai true?" She asked.

"Yes what of it."

"What if I told you I possessed a Kekki genkai?" she said raising Hizuren's attention.

"I would ask what it was first." He said calmly.

She put her hand in the air and drew the moisture from it and formed an icicle, and placed it on his desk.

"I have the Ice style Kekki Genkai, as I am a survivor of the purge in the land of water." She told him. "So may I join the academy class that my friend is in now?"

"Having this makes it even more important of having full academy training." He said.

"I see, perhaps I should leave with my friend to another village then where they will allow me to do so, I hear Kumo is lovely this time of year." She stated.

He swore under his breath, if the council found out that he let a rare Kekki Genkai go like that and to Kumo no less they would kill him. and the ninja council would destroy him for letting that girl be a breeding stock for them.

"Very well, you may join; may I ask who your friend is though?" She smiled.

"Naruto Uzamaki." He smiled that girl would be good for the boy.

"Very well you can go there now I will let them know."

Hizuren knew one thing above all else if this girl meant anything to Naruto, then the elders are screwed if they try to put CRA on her.

'but just in case I should get those files out so they have someone more interesting to deal with. I just hope he doesn't get too pissed about it.'

At the academy

Naruto was at class, it was boring.

"Alright class we have a new student today." Iruka said.

Haku walked in and a bunch of guys immediately stared at her, after all she was quite beautiful.

"Hello, my name is Haku." She said.

She was wearing a pink Kimono with the skirt cut short at mid thighs and bandages to prevent it from being indecent, and her kunai holster on her right leg, and blue ninja sandals.

"Haku here will be joining our class from this day forward." Iruka said.

Haku then went up and sat next to Naruto. She smiled at him.

"wow, you work fast." He said.

"I have my ways." She smiled at him.

"Alright everyone on the training field for spars."

Everyone went out to the field.

"Okay first ones up are Haku and Sasuke."

Haku walked out on to the field as did Sasuke.

"Begin." Iruka said.

Sasuke charged in thinking to end it quick. But then Haku disappeared and reappeared in front of him and kneed him in the gut. She followed up with a punch to his face and finished it by kicking him away.

Everyone was in awe this girl had just defeated Sasuke, a so called 'Uchiha Elite' in mere seconds.

Haku walked back over to Naruto.

"Wow Haku you were great!" Naruto praised.

"It was nothing, really." She blushed at his approval.

"You just beat Sasuke he is the best in the class!" Naruto said. "Or was the best" Haku again blushed.

"Thank you Naruto-kun." She said.

Later

After the academy Haku and Naruto walked home together.

"Hey, Dope!" Naruto turned to see, Sasuke.

"What?"

"Haku, why are you hanging out with this loser?" he said which made Haku angry. "You should come with me to the Kyubi festival, and the ball afterwards, you could be my plus one, only very important people."

"No thanks I already have an invitation." Haku said.

"What only clan heads and heirs and kekki genkai wielders get those invitations!" Sasuke exclaimed.

"Yeah, so?"

"Wait you're a clan heir?"

"no."

"head?"

"no."

"Kekki genkai?" Sasuke said but they already left.

Naruto's apartment

"So you get to go to the ball thing right?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah."

"Good for you."

"I need a date though." She said blushing.

"Well the teme asked you." Naruto stated

"Not him, you." Haku said.

"What?" Naruto said surprised.

"You heard me I want you as my date." She said sternly.

"Okay, okay." He gave in.

"Good, now I'm tired let's sleep."

Naruto went to the bedroom and Haku came from the bathroom after changing clothes. She was in a shirt of his again and walked in she appeared to have underwear this time. But still.

Haku got into the bed with him and fell asleep using him as her pillow again.

"Night Naruto-kun." She said.

"Night Haku-Chan." Again this made her blush Heavily and she went to sleep.
