Chapter One – WTH?!

Hi, I'm Catherine. Not very many people actually know the true me, I mean, a few know I have Asperger Syndrome, is a Narutard and actually really loud and hyper. Most think I'm the shy girl, the wall flower who only speaks when spoken to and nice and naieve.

If maybe thinking about the good in people and not being able to read the emotion on people's faces, or being uneducated in the ways of sex talk then yes, that does make me naive.

You see, I'm as some say, innocent. I don't see most horrible things, I see some like most but try to ignore it and not let it show how much it affects me.

I'm a typical Libra, I like feminine clothes but because I have fat thighs I know I look terrible wearing short shirts and tight clothes so I usually wear baggy jeans and tight shirts, which show off my B-cups but it always covers the skin, in other words, my shirt outlines my body and makes it look really curvy cuz I have big hips.

I'm not fat but I'm not slim either, somewhere in-between. I know I have a pretty face and decent from the hips upwards but I've never really cared for showing off, mainly because I wouldn't have noticed if any guy was staring at me anyway.

I always have my head in the clouds, rarely seeing the real world longer than needed. I was always imagining what was gonna happen in the Manga and anime Naruto, it's the coolest anime EVER! And the funniest I've come across.

Although I like feminine clothing, that's about as normal as I get. I hate, no, DETEST shopping for clothing, I love anime, I love drawing my own Naruto characters, whether on the computer or my note pad, I love reading fantasy and romance stories, always wishing some amazing and romantic adventure would come for me and that I would be some sort of Hero.

I hate killing, not that I've ever done it but the thought of it makes me sick. Ok, if I ever landed in the world of Naruto all I'd ever do is end up being a ninja and killing people when needed but... still, that doesn't mean I have to like the idea.

Anyway, where was I before I so rudely interrupted myself? Oh yeah, I'm far from normal, yet at the same time, I'm normal. I have no super powers or special abilities; I'm just 1 of every other normal human in our race.

Boy, I had never been so wrong in my entire 16 year old life.

I sighed, frowning as frustration filled my entire being. Maths, I hate fucking Maths. I can do equations easily; I can do the complex stuff easily, fractions and graphs? Someone bring a miracle worker over ASAP!

I ignored my Maths teacher, Mr Cherry, who loved to make my life miserable. He knows I'm gonna fail and always bothers me with everything, can't he see I have other GCSEs other than Maths to do decently?

No, everything has to revolve around him, little prick.

Now normally I don't swear, but no-one's gonna hear my thoughts and I didn't say it out-loud. Anyway, the bell finally rang and I gathered up my stuff into my school bag, ready to leave.

"Remember to do the homework by next Friday." Mr Cherry called, fucking midget, I was taller than him at 5ft 5inches, and I wasn't that tall. I walked past him, pulling my phone out my bag as I did and putting the earphones into my ears I turned on the music.

Poison by Groove Coverage blasted into my ears, blocking out the noise of agonisingly normal and boring life. I went down the two flights of stairs, half-heartedly relieved that I was only on the 2nd floor and not the 5th.

As I left through the doors I waved to Becky, my friend who was waiting for her younger sister to walk her home. She smiled, showing her braces. She waved back and then, I could no longer see her as I walked out through the heavy doors of the school.

I looked at the opposite side of the pavement as I left school, seeing the Portuguese boy who moved from Portugal to here 2 years ago and, I was told not long after he arrived by his younger sister that he had a crush on me.

I guess I sorta had a crush on him too, but for one, I was [and still am] too scared to say anything, filled with lack of confidence and too scared that the girl had been lying and it wasn't true. As I turned my head to look away I could hear the shriek even through my earphones.

I turned behind me and saw a car swerving right into me; I didn't get to even scream before everything went black.

Everything hurt; I was in pain, a lot of it.

I slowly opened my eyes before blinking, I was in a hospital, but it was different. It looked... cartoony.

I slapped myself on the cheek, hard. "Ow!" I hissed, blinking again before sitting up properly. "Well, I'm definitely not dreaming."

I stayed in bed, too lazy to bother moving. I must be dreaming. I thought to myself. Why else would everything look cartoonised? ...is that even a real word?

I watched through the window, only to blink, once, twice... I had to do that five times and then slap myself again before I could fully believe my eyes.

Konoha was spread out before me, this was real, how else could I have felt the pain? Or I'm just going mad. I thought to myself. One thing's for certain, HOORAY!!! I'm gonna be a ninja, WHOOHOO!

I remained calm looking on the outside, but on the inside? I was having a major jungle party with a naked Gaara, why? I'm a fan-girl of his, duh.

What happens now? I wondered, no longer actually seeing the scenery. What time era am I in? Hell, what do I call myself? Catherine's not gonna work cuz it's not a Japanese name, I can't use the name Hana either since that's what Kiba's sister is called.

Hm, what about Rei? It's simple and easy to remember. That settled that. But do I become a ninja? Hell, where am I gonna live?

"Excuse me miss?"I blinked and turned to see... Iruka?! "I need to ask you a couple of questions."

I said a raspy; 'ok' whilst rubbing my throat, which had become sore.

"Here," Iruka passed me a glass of water, which was by a nightstand on my other side, opposite the window and in line with the door. I really need to be more observant. I thought to myself before drinking the water greedily.

Fuck, I never thought water would taste so delicious since it's tasteless and odourless. "Ok, ask away." I told Iruka as he sat on a stool next to me, I just put the glass on the table when Iruka asked his first question.

"What's your name?"

I paused, thinking about what to say, scowling as I did. Maybe I should pretend to loose my memory, I doubt anyone would believe the truth, all I have to do is stay calm and I won't look like I'm lying. "All I remember is being called Rei." I looked down at my body; I looked like I was at 12, flat and no body figure at all. "I think I'm 12... And I remember being called Ironing Board..."

Ok, maybe I shouldn't have said that, but that was my nickname when I was 12 and 13 years old. Iruka frowned. "Do you remember nothing else?"

I frowned again, before answering carefully. "My father, his face is blurry but... I look a lot like him." I looked at my reflection in the glass of the window, my hair was now a rusty red and I have brown eyes, pale skin and I was actually really short, but my hair was long, luckily. What? I love long hair.

"Nothing else?" Iruka prompted; his voice gentle and just his caring voice was enough to make me cry, like a baby but I couldn't stop.

"What do I do? What do I do...?" I wailed, acting out of character and I hated crying, I left a major head-ache afterwards. Iruka hesitantly hugged me, letting me cry on his shoulder. I wasn't sure how long we stayed like this after I stopped crying, him holding me and me just silent as a mute, but I eventually let go.

"Gomen..." I whispered, rubbing my eyes. "I hate crying."

Iruka smiled sadly. "Don't worry Rei, we'll find you somewhere to stay whilst we track down your parents." I forced a weak smile, and Iruka smiled back.

It hadn't taken long for Iruka to find a family for me to stay with. I was semi-surprised to find I was staying with the Nara family, I had expected the Harunos or the Yamanakas, but I got the Naras.

Oh well, at least I know Shikamaru won't be so demanding, or his father... but I am kinda worried about Shikamaru's mother...

I had been given a white plain shirt with no sleeves, a grey jacket and black trousers to wear. I was given shinobi sandals but I just walked around barefoot, it was more comfortable. I rarely talked to anyone, even Iruka didn't get much out of me, but I was always following Iruka or just helping him or stayed at his home when he was working.

I had to stay with Iruka until they found me a family to stay with, since Iruka was too busy to look after me. I was walking slightly behind him now as we walked through the street. When I was 12 and 13 I was skinny, so much so I almost looked anorexic, in my family it was either that or really chubby, I was lucky I suppose.

"Look at the child she's so tiny!"

I heard murmurs like that spreading around like wildfire, I even noticed Gai and his team [Neji, Rock Lee and Tenten] stopped to look and I kept closer to Iruka, who placed a hand on my shoulder, making me glance up at him swiftly.

"Don't worry about it, Rei." He told me, making me smile ever so slightly and I replied with a soft; 'hai'. We continued to walk until we reached the Nara residence, which I have to say looked really peaceful and quiet.

"NARA SHIKAMARU GET UP AND GET READY TO GREET OUR GUEST!" I jumped behind Iruka, already scared of Shikamaru's mother. No wonder he always goes on about how troublesome she is. I thought to myself.

"Don't worry," Iruka said, taking my hand and squeezing it. "You'll be fine, Rei, I promise to check on you whenever I can, and hep you in the academy when you go."

Iruka and I had already talked about it, I decided to join the ninja academy. Iruka had already taught me how to do basic chakra exercises and how to use a kunai. I had all my books and weapons in my bag, which actually had very little in it, to take with me to the Naras. This included books for history and other class based stuff and weapons to use.

It's really happening, I'm a Naruto character! I thought to myself excitedly as Iruka knocked on the door.

We waited for what seemed like agonisingly long hours, I looked around, spotting pink and purple flowers in the flower beds outside the windows and the long grass and tall trees.

It was early autumn but I could still feel the fleeting summer, hence why I tied my jacket around my waist. I can learn to like it here.

I snapped my head towards the door as it slid open. It was Shikamaru's mother, I had always thought she looked really strict when I watched the show but now that I actually see her, person to person, she's really scary.

"Come in, Iruka-san." She said with a smile and smiled down at me as I held tighter onto Iruka's hand. "You must be Rei-chan, right?"

I nodded, bowing to her whilst holding Iruka's hand. "Nice to meet you, Nara-sama." I was like that with most adults, really polite.

"Please, just call me Yoshino, or Auntie Yoshino if you want." She smiled and I couldn't help but smile and let go of Iruka's hand, I felt safe around Yoshino, even though a little shy.

"Do you want some tea, Iruka-san?" Yoshino asked as she ushered me inside, where I saw Shikamaru sitting on a sofa, watching the three of us lazily. I waved to him and he gave me a half-hearted wave in return, which made me smile.

"I have to go, Rei!" Iruka called, I ran over to him and hugged him as well as I could.

"Arigato, for everything." I said, before letting go.

Iruka's face softened with a smile before saying; "You're welcome, Rei."

Dinner wasn't as quiet as I thought, Yoshino chattered a lot, mainly trying to get to know me. I fidgeted, was shy and polite, which Yoshino said was 'cute'.

I had to share a room with Shikamaru for a while until they made some room for a proper bedroom for me, I had finished with a shower and cleaning my teeth. I wore a long white nightdress, which reached my ankles and made me look even shorter.

When I went into Shikamaru's room he was just getting into the spare mattress, which surprised me because I thought it was my bed. "Um, Shikamaru-san?" Urgh, that's a mouthful. "I'll take the spare mattress, you don't have to give up your bed."

Shikamaru just shrugged before saying; "Mum would have killed me if I made you sleep in the guest bed."

"Why?" I asked, earning another shrug from Shikamaru. "Shikamaru-san?" He just just getting comfy and closing his as before he opened one, silently listening for whatever question I had for him.

"Can I call you nii-san?"

Shikamaru's eyes shot open and he sat up quickly, staring at me like I just grew another head and named it after him. "Well, I wanna call you nii-san because I'm staying with you and I wanna know what it's like having... family."

Shikamaru sighed before muttering; "Troublesome girl." I sighed, but not giving up. I want family and a place to call home before I get found out, I always thought it would be cool to have Shikamaru as a brother.

We'd know the best places to skip school. I thought to myself before asking him; "Is that a yes or...?"

I had to wait for a while before I got an answer. "Yes."

I tackled him, earning a 'what're you doing?!' from my new brothers as I rushed out a series of; "Arigato nii-san!"

Shikamaru just sighed and let me stay there, cuddled up next to him with me using his chest as a pillow. We eventually fell asleep like that, I felt in the night when it was cold that Shikamaru covered the both of us up with a blanket.

"Arigato, nii-san."

I awoke slowly, feeling safe and remembering what happened last night, I was happy to just lie there with my brother. But, sadly not everything can happen my way.

The door slammed open with Yoshino shouting; "Shikmaru! Get... aww!"

Oh great she spotted me asleep with Shikamaru, who I could tell from how tense he was, was awake. "T-troublesome woman!" Shikamaru hissed, making Yoshino giggle.

"Wake her up Shikamaru, you both need to get ready for the academy today." And I then heard her leave, I yawned and opened my eyes before stretching.

"You're so troublesome," Shikamaru muttered, making me smile.

"Come on, nii-san!" I squeaked excitedly, dragging him out of bed, him whining about me being troublesome and bothersome. "I can't wait to go to the academy with you!" He sighed but he no longer complained.

Ha, guilt-trip always works!

I pushed Shikamaru into the bathroom to get changed, while I changed in his room, wearing another white shirt from yesterday but it had a light blue lightning bolt on the back.

I wore the same trousers as yesterday and then I pulled my hair into a low ponytail, letting my long fringe [which used to come to my eyebrows in my world, now falls past my eyes] to the left side of my face and clipping it back with a dark blue hairclip.

I walked out the room just as Shikamaru came out the bathroom wearing his normal mesh shirt, brown trousers and green jacket. We both walked downstairs, me saying Shikamaru looked cool, which got him flustered.

I smiled to myself as we entered the kitchen to see Shikaku, Shikamaru's father, smirking at the two of us. "Auntie Yoshino?" I asked, whilst sitting at the table.

"What?" She asked, looking over at me where she was cooking.

"Can I play Shogi with nii-san when I come back?" I asked, smiling at Yoshino and Shikaku's confused look. I held onto Shikamaru's arm, making him blush in embarrassment. "I want nii-san to teach me how to play!"

"T-troublesome woman," he jumped when I poked him in the ribs.

"Don't be rude, nii-san!" Both Yoshino giggled whilst Shikaku smirked.

We finished breakfast with a bit of chat and nagging from Yoshino, Shikamaru and I brushed our teeth before leaving, not needing our weapons until a few days when we'd have the graduation exam.

The walk there was quiet, me pointing out different things and asking whether they'd be good cloud looking spots, which most of the replies would be 'no' or 'I already know that one'.

When we finally arrived, there were lots of people already there and stared at me once I walked in, including Sasuke, to my surprise. "They're staring." I whispered to Shikamaru, already beginning to feel intimidated. He just took my arm in a gentle hold and led me towards Kiba, Chouji and Naruto.

"Hey Shikamaru, who's that, your girlfriend?" I blushed at Kiba's question.

"No, Rei's gonna be staying with me for a while, she's part of the family." I smiled at Shikamaru, who let go of my arm. "Rei, this is Kiba," he pointed out to Kiba, who smiled with his cute dog. "Chouji," Chouji said a 'hi' through a mouthful of crisps. "And this is Naruto."

"Hi, I'm Uzamaki Naruto and I'm gonna be the next Hokage, dattebyo!" I smiled at his cheerfulness.

"It's nice to meet you, Naruto-san, Kiba-san and Chouji-san." I said politely, making all three boys grin. I sat between Kiba and Shikamaru as Iruka came in, ready to start the lesson.

I let Kiba and Shikamaru sleep. I already knew this from when Iruka taught me so instead of taking notes I doodled in my notepad, this lasted until lunch time. "Alright class, you're ready to go."

When I left the classroom I lost sight of Shikamaru, Kiba, Chouji and Naruto so I just walked around the school [I forgot my lunch] and I saw the training grounds with only Sasuke in them.

I left Sasuke be, since I doubt he'll take interest in me and decided to train. I walked over towards one of the logs practicing what I've learn, not academy style Taijutsu since I mentioned to Iruka, if I went on missions, it'll be easy to see through it all and I'd get killed, so he set me up a different style to learn, kinda like Tsunade's but I wasn't sure, since I'm not expert at spotting the difference between fighting styles.

As I was doing this, a thought came to mind. I've the chakra exercises easily, including the tree walking one and water walking one; maybe if I'm so good at it, I can add chakra to my punches and kicks. Tsunade said in later episodes that only those with really good chakra control can do it and it'll gain super human strength... I might as well try it, what've I got to loose?

I stopped and concentrating I put all my chakra into my fist and punched the log. It dented the wood but didn't do more than that. Maybe I'm not using enough?

I tried again, this time adding more and it was again the same result. Maybe I'm not spreading it out evenly? I concentrated harder and evened it out, as if covering my hand in a glove, but made of chakra and it acted like a shield.

I punched it again and the dent got bigger, but it still didn't smash through the tree. Well, at least I'm progressing, somewhat. With that in mind I took a break, deciding to practice when I can. Since the Zabuza arc is coming soon, I need to prepare myself in case I got on Sasuke's team.

As I turned to leave I noticed Sasuke was staring at me, only two metres away. Had he seen the whole thing? I wondered, blinking. We both remained silent, me waiting for him to say something whilst getting nervous at the tense silence. Is he angry at me? What did I do?

"How did you do that?" I blinked, not expecting him to be the one to break the silence.

"Do what?" I asked, hoping he didn't mean the chakra punches.

"Make your punches stronger." Damn it!

"I... was experimenting using chakra." I told him, not waiting for him to elaborate. "I've done more advanced Chakra exercises and I thought of adding chakra to my punches and make them stronger, since I'm not that strong." I told him with a nervous laugh. "Gotta go!"

I walked away quickly, leaving him there and I sighed in relief. Geez, he's scarier than I thought he'd be. I walked back, trying to find my way but I was lost. Great, what kind of idiot gets lost in a school? I thought to myself, I'm pretty sure a sweat-drop is running down the side of my head.

I eventually found the classroom before the next class started, which I actually paid attention to, History. I asked a lot of questions and ignored those who glared at me for (to them) more boring.

But I didn't give a crap.

Iruka was actually surprised with some of the questions that I asked like; 'Why would they want to hit some village with nothing special unless they did something to bother them in the first place?' or 'Why do they only say our side of it? It could be biased'.

I was sure Iruka was actually enjoying the debate we were having about it and I wasn't able to finish it when the bell rang, oh well, at last there's no homework.

I left with Shikamaru but we stopped halfway so Shikamaru could gaze at the clouds while I tried some chakra exercises. I did some of my own which included moulding chakra into different shapes, like two dancers, waltzing on my palm, a koi fish swimming in midair, birds and all sorts of other animals.

I wasn't sure how long we stayed but in the end, Chouji found us. "Hi Shikamaru, I brought some crisps!" Shikamaru smiled and Chouji then greeted me, which I replied to absent mindedly. "What're you doing?"

I turned and said; "Watch this!" And holding out my palm, I made the dancers from Chakra, exciting Chouji, who watched in awe. Yep, I'm sure I'll have the chakra Taijutsu done in no time! I bragged to myself.

"...Rei, how'd you do that?" Shikamaru asked, now watching me intently.

"Oh, I did the advanced chakra exercises like walking put a tree by sticking a load of chakra to my feet and the same when walking on water." I told them, making Chouji's eyes widen, I'm saw abut the walking on tree and water bit.

"How long did it take you to learn this?" Shikamaru asked me.

"Um, when I first started learning with Iruka-sensei before moving into your house, and that was about... two weeks ago. And I started the chakra moulding three days ago, it was really hard but I'm glad I got it, but I still need to keep practicing so I can do more complicated stuff."

"Like what?" Chouji asked when I finished my explanation.

"Adding chakra to Taijutsu, which makes giant craters when you hit and can break bones, I can only make dents at the moment, but if I keep practicing moulding chakra like this, it'll make it easier. Since all I need for the chakra Taijutsu is to basically cover my hands and feet in a protective layer of chakra as I do it." I told them.

They both looked at each other and I then went back to my chakra moulding, this time trying to make a mini chakra Shikamaru and me.

It was a few hours later that Yoshino finally found us and dragged Shikamaru home whilst I followed, waving bye to Chouji, who waved back and went home.

When we got home, Shikamaru actually tried to teach me how to play Shogi, it took me a while to learn how to do it and it was dark before I finally got it but I never one, but I did manage to back him into a corner at one point.

After that, we had dinner, which was chicken ramen and I devoured it quickly, thanking Yoshino and saying how delicious it was. She smiled and thanked me, Shikamaru and I helped wash the dishes before I dragged him outside to watch the stars with me.

He enjoyed it and we laid side-by-side, enjoying the view. "It's so pretty." I murmured, Shikamaru was snoring and I giggled before using his chest as a pillow again. He wrapped and arm around my waist lazily before we fell asleep like this.

Thanks for reading, what's ya think? Please review and let me know how I'm doing so I can improve. I'll update soon, promise! ;)
