Houjun Ri: Evil dust bunnies filled with ideas wanted me to write this. Ugh, curse them. So anyway, while reading/studying (snorts) Tales of Genji, I kind of felt like writing a story based on a fairytale. Well I don't know if it's a fairytale, but for me it kinda is. Ah, whatever on with the story. Also warning to you all: crack-pairings! Since I am a poor student, I have no money on me so of course I can't possibly own Naruto.

Summary: AU. Average Hyuuga goes to the tutoring service after school, she's unexpectedly sent to another world though. Now she's stuck with a psycho medic, a lazy assassin, and a banshee of a princess to find a way to get her back home, but wait how can she? Only a mage can help.

The Tale of the Witch Tsunade

Ring a Bell 1

"Reaching up for no man's land"

"Are you sure you don't want to come Hina-chi?" questioned a brunette, tugging her blue neck bow, loosening it from her neck. The girl had her summer uniform: a white short sleeved polo shirt, and a plated blue skirt. It was optional for students in Kanto Gakuen to put their pale blue vest on if they wanted to. Of course not many students wore the vest attire, it was usually worn during the spring or winter time of the school year.

"I-I'm sorry Yui-san…I really can't…" mumbled a shy navy haired girl, sitting on her wooden chair packing her textbooks inside her school bag. The girl wore the same uniform as her friend, but decided to be more formal and traditional so she wore the pale blue vest. She hesitantly raised her head seeing a disappointed face in front of her. Oh how bad she felt now.

"Aww, that's no fun. Stupid tutoring service place always takes away your time," Yui muttered as she crossed her arms, and she was pouting slightly. "I mean sure we have to study for the high school entrance exams, but still!"

"I-I'm really sorry…"

Giving the navy haired girl a small smile, Yui placed her hand on her friends' shoulder. "No worries Hina-chi, maybe next time we'll go to the arcade with Hoju-kun and that American-exchange student brat."

"Y-Yui-san!"

It was uncomfortable for young fifteen-year-old Hyuuga Hinata to talk behind peoples backs. She was always taught to show respect, and especially give respect. The motto 'treat others as you want to be treated' was always a top priority and value. Hearing this mean comment from a good friend, gave her a feeling of awkwardness. It was something she was never used to, blame her father for her tight upbringing, she wasn't a fan of talking behind others back. Hinata closed her bag, textbooks already placed inside, and began to stand up.

"Please don't … don't say mean things about A-Alex-san…" she muttered, already exiting the classroom. Walking side by side with her friend Yui. The brunette rolled her chocolate eyes.

"Sure, I won't call her any names. I got it, I got it!"

Sighing, Hinata glanced at the entrance hall. There students would take off their indoor shoes, and replace them with their outdoor shoes that they had stored in their personal cubbies. Hinata went to her cubby and slip off her pale beige indoor shoes and replaced them with her traditional black shoes. Her friend did the same, and now they were out the front doors.

"He-rro!" cried an enthusiastic dirty blond haired girl, waving her hands frantically. Unlike Yui's traditional summer outfit, the dirty blond female had small accessories with her uniform. Small and colorful different kinds of pins were on her skirt. Her hair was tied into a pigtail to the side, usually female student's shouldn't put their hair up or in any kind of style. Those were the school rules, but it didn't really mattered to the female blond. Next to the blond, was a dark haired boy. Waving at them to get their attention. Black pants, and white short sleeved polo shirt was his summer uniform.

Yui sighed. "Great, the American is here…with Hoju-kun. Just my day…"

Hinata's lips turned into a small frown. "Yui-san…"

"Okay, okay! I'll be nice!" came the grunting reply.

"Hey guys!" said the blond giving a small hug to each girl. "What are we going to do today?"

Yui shrugged, not liking the small hug that the girl had given her. "The usual, eat, arcade, shop, go home and sleep."

Hinata smiled at the effort that her friend was giving. At least Yui wasn't exploding like the first day of school. The boy scratched the back of his head.

"So I guess we'll go to…"

"Oh yeah, Hinata can't come, she has that tutoring session class today," announced the brunette, standing next to the dark haired boy. "Let's drop her off on our way."

Hinata gave an apologetic smile. "I'm really sorry…Alex-san, Hoju-san, Yui-san."

The blond, Alex, gave a small frown. "Hinata-chaan! Can't you skip or something? Isn't it today special for you three?"

"Yes, us three…" muttered Yui a bit to darkly for the dark haired friends. Hoju nudge the side of Yui, who flinched in pain. Hinata gave Alex a hesitant smile.

"Y-Yes, but I'm sure w-we can do it next week…going out the four of us," she said trying to cheer up her blond friend. Apparently it had worked, the blond gave a tight hug to the milky white eyed girl, who returned the friendly hug back. The four students of Kanto Gakuen began to exit the entrance gates. They each talked about what they had done in class, and soon they started chatting about which high school they would try to enter. It took them no less than fifteen minutes to finally arrive at the tutoring session building where Hinata was supposed to enter. They each bid a farewell to Hinata, and soon the young girl entered the building among with other students from different middle schools.

Beep. Beep.

Hinata grabbed her school bag, and searched for her phone. Finally finding the silver device, she flipped it open, and noticed the caller ID. Lips forming into a small smile, she answered the call.

"Hi Hinabi."

Looking around the entrance hall of the tutoring building, she found a place where the chairs were placed and people were just sitting there, either talking or studying. So she began to walk over to one of the blue chairs. She sat down, and placed her bag at an empty chair next to her.

"Yes Hanabi? What is it?"

Questioning her sister, Hinata had not noticed the curious glances that the pale male next to her was giving. His golden eyes was watching her small petite figure. While talking to her younger sister on the phone, she felt a sudden chill running through her spine. Hesitantly, she faced the person next to her other side. She noticed the pale face of the man, long dark hair, and his eerie golden eyes. He just wore a brown trench coat and black pants. Almost forgetting that her sister was on the other line, she responded to quickly when her sister had repeated her question again.

"I-I won't be home till eight…I-I'm at the tutoring building r-right now. I have late class t-today…"

Her milky lilac eyes took a glance at the man beside her once again. "Y-Yes Hanabi…"

The man next to her heard a young voice from the other line.

"Hinata-neechan? Why are you stuttering?"

Hinata quickly looked away from the man next to her. She bit her bottom lip, and said reassuring words to her sister. Snapping her flip phone shut, she picked up her stuff and decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Quickly walking up the stairs, she remembered that her classroom was on the fourth floor, and the numbers 2-0-7 were placed on the wall near the front of the classroom door. Hinata took her time when going up to her destination.

Tap-Tap.

'Footsteps?' she wondered as she took another step. She clutched the handle of her bag tightly. As the footsteps got closer, Hinata stopped her tracks, and still clutching her bag close to her chest. Seeing the man earlier today was still giving her shivers and goose bumps. Was it him…?

'C-Could he be … following me?' she thought trying to forget the pale man with unusual golden eyes. 'N-No … no stranger would follow me unless…'

Hinata shook her head. 'No! J-Just walk Hinata…just walk to the classroom and everything will be fine…'

She did so, but the foots steps were getting closer . She glanced up ahead, and gave a sigh of relief. The door was just a couple of steps away, and her paranoia would just go away. Sadly, by now the footsteps were getting closer, and without thinking she stopped her tracks. She clutched her bag dearly, and shut her eyes tightly.

Tap-Tap.

The person was running now.

Tap-Tap.

The tapping sound stopped for a minute. Hinata opened her eyes, and took a small glance at black shoes, and gray pants. She blinked, and looked up.

The male student with a yellow sweater was glancing at his watch, then he ran up the stairs once again. He was probably late for his sessions.

Hinata gasped for air. She had been holding it ever since she stopped her tracks. Getting back her breathing, she looked down to see no one was following her. She got worried over nothing! Silly Hinata…

Walking a few pairs of stairs, she opened the door, and closed it. She was now in a hallway filled with doors that would lead her to many classrooms. Walking east, she decided to look carefully at the classroom numbers imprinted at the side of the door in blue. Finally reaching the classroom 207, she opened the door. No one was inside, the classroom was empty. Hinata glanced at her watch that her father had given her for her birthday.

She had twenty minutes to spare, until class would begin. Taking a seat near the window, she took her time to see the busy Tokyo streets.

"Hey!"

Her head turned around, and soon her cheeks turned pink. "Y-Yes?"

"Do you know what time class starts?" asked a male student, with a brown uniform. Similar to hers, but the jacket was brown instead of blue.

"About seventeen minutes…" she muttered, looking down at her lap. She could not believe that she was talking to the boy that she had been admiring since the beginning of the tutoring sessions!

The blond boy blinked his blue eyes, and scratched his head. "Phew. I thought class ended. I knew I should have taken the later train…"

Hinata mutely nodded, and heard footsteps coming closer. The boy stopped right in front of her.

"I'm Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto. I go to Kana Gakuen, pretty far from here actually. Heh, how about you?"

"I'm Hyuuga Hinata…I go to Kanto Gakuen. N-Not really far…" she said bashfully looking away.

She could not see it, but his eyes widen. "Holy … you go to that rich school!?"

Her face turned tomato red. So her father was a businessman it really wasn't her choice of what school to go to. "W-Well…Yes…"

"Wow, erm… so what high school are you applying to?"

"I-I'm not sure yet, probably Hibiya Kotogakko…"

Hinata looked up to see the priceless face of Uzumaki Naruto.

"Er…going for the top five schools in Tokyo huh?" he questioned feeling a bit timid, something that surprised the young girl. "Well … I'll probably be going to Shinjuku Yamabuki Kotogakko. I'll be able to wear my own clothes. No uniforms you know?"

Hinata nodded, feeling a bit sadden at the choice of the school he had chosen. Sure the school was very advance in technological classes, but they were tough causing for some students to drop out. Pretty harsh.

"O-Oh, I see…why did you c-choose that school anyway?" she stuttered a bit, trying her hardest to focus on the blond boy in front of her. Naruto grinned, and briskly passed by her. He stood in front of the window, and glanced at the scenery in front of him.

"Let's just say I want to do something, so I'll be remembered by, you know?" he said, a small grin still placed in his lips. "Something someone will thank me for in years."

Hinata just stared at him, admiring him even more. Slowly standing up, and having a small courage from within, she went to stand next to him. Her eyes noticed the scenery that he was silently enjoying to himself. Modestly she took a glance at his facial features. His blue eyes were shining brightly, almost as if he was falling head over heels for the scenery in front of him. Instantly both their eyes met; however, the blond boys' eyes widen. Still staring, she had not noticed a rough hand on her back.

Suddenly she felt a rapid push against her back. It was not just a slight push, it had more force on it. Her forehead connected to the glass of the window because of the pressure the glass cracked causing it to shatter in small pieces. The only thing she saw was the concrete floor below her, and the only thing she could hear was her name that was shouted by none other than Uzumaki Naruto.

"HINATA!!"

Dark abyss was all she remembered.
