High Tide Chapter 1: Swichfoot

There was a warm summer breeze flowing though Konoha. It was one of those days when you feel like doing nothing at all. But something in the air made people in Konoha think twice. The air made you feel like you were in front of the ocean watching the high tide. It was almost like you could hear the roar of the waves. You can't help but notice the leaves dancing in the sky, almost as if they were surfing. One particular leaf can't help but catch your eye. The way it dipped, flipped, soared, and fell made you think that perhaps a small invisible being was using it as a surf board. Just as the light breeze ended, the leaf took a plunge. It lands in the most peculiar place. On top pf the softest looking hair you can imagine, almost like silk. A soft light colored hand reaches up and picks the leaf off of the silky hair. With a gentle giggle, she lets go of the leaf jus as the breeze picks up again.

The most beautiful colored eyes, watches as the leaf joined the many others that seem to be doing a intricate dance. As the wind carried the leaves towards the village below, the beautiful eyes followed and watched as they disappeared into the bustling city streets below. They watched as the ant sized people scurried from place to place in mad rushes.

When this mysterious girl began to descend from the hill in which she stood, many eyes noticed the movement and watched as a long forgotten girl approached Konohagakure. Many noticed that this beautiful girl wasn't wearing what most travelers wore. She seemed completely foreign to not only their village but the country all together.

She wore white mid-thigh board shorts with a purple bikini top and a black tank top over it, and with black low cut Vans. Her silky indigo hair was swept in a messy ponytail. She had a black back-pack with a banana board strapped onto it. A pair of sunglasses on top of her head, and as was walking down into the village you could see her pulling them down to cover her eyes, with a white wire connected to her ear.

As she near the gate the guards stopped her.

"Halt. State your name and business for being in Konoha."

"Uhh...ok well I'm here to live with my family.....oh and my name is..."

Mean while near the 'foxes' playground

"DAMN IT SASUKE! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO BLADE IN FRONT OF ME! I'M TRYING TO DO A MCTWIST HERE!"

"Yeah yeah, whatever dobe."

Grumbling to himself, our favorite little skater Naruto climbs back to the top to drop in again. 'Aright here goes nothing...Yeah! Just a little more air. Al-mos-t-got-it....Hell yeah! That's right, I'm the Greatest!'

'Wow the dobe actually landed the McTwist'

"Ha-ha! I knew I could do it. In your face Shikamaru. I'm going to beat him tomorrow for sure. The cats in the gad bro." Naruto exclaimed triumphantly.

"You did the landing wrong" Sasuke said smirking.

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? YOU DON'T EVEN SKATEBOARD!" Naruto exclaimed pointing at Sasuke.

Sasuke blinks, Naruto just keeps starring at him with a slight glare.

"Touché dobe."

"Ha...I don't know what that means....what does it mean?"

Sasuke just blinked and said "Wouldn't you like to know"

"Yes, yes I would. That's why I asked."

Sasuke just turned around and started to roll a way from him. Yelling over his shoulder "READ A FUCKIN' BOOK, AND MAYBE YOU'LL KNOW!"

"You don't know either do you! That's why you're leaving!"

Sasuke just continued to roll away. And if you listened closely you could hear the infamous 'hn'.

"Pff...Whatever." Just as he turned around getting ready for another run, he was tackled.

A happy "Naruto-kun" was heard from a raven haired girl.

With a small chuckle "Hey Mille Chan! It's great to see you. Always a pleasure, but why is it always so painful."

A small happy giggle came from this petite raven haired girl. As she got up you could see her wearing navy colored skinny jeans with a white/blue shirt. A pair of black converse adorned her feet. Her long raven hair swayed as she stood looking at Naruto with her sparkling onyx eyes. This beautiful young woman is known as Melody Uchia, baby sister to Itachi and Sasuke Uchia. The reason why she always tackles Naruto is because the Uchia brothers are very protective of her. Although Itachi is a little more lazy in that area.

"Sorry Naruto-kun. I'm just always so happy to see you."

"Ha-ha, yeah I know. It's cool. So what's up?"

"Oh you know, I was just passing by and decided to say hello."

"More like stalking." Naruto mutters under his breath.

"Did you say something Naruto-kun?"

"Oh no no, nothing, nothing…So anything new?"

Taking up a thinking pose, and then clapping her hands she exclaims, "Oh, I met someone new today!"

"Oh really, that's nice. How did you meet?"

Flashback

As Melody walked through the main Konoha district, she hummed a song that her mother had taught her. When she was about to reach the climax of the song, she saw from the corner of her eye her loves favorite restaurant, Ichiraku.

Of course this reminded her that she hadn't seen him since he got back from his competition the day before. As she was turning around to head in the direction that her love was, she ran straight into the person that had been right behind her.

The two bodies collided, and crashed to the ground in a big heap of tangled limbs.

"Itai, what the fuck!" Melody said. Not hearing a response, Melody got up and walked over to see who had knocked her over. As she stood above the person she noticed that it was another girl that had knocked her down. She saw that the girl had a dazed look on her face, with the classic swirling eyes. At a closer inspection, Melody noticed a necklace with the Hyuuga family crest around her neck.

'Gasp' "Oh my god, please don't sue me" she yelled

"Oh look at all the pretty birdies...They look like they're surfing" replied the Hyuuga girl in s daze.

Then Melody said "Oh, I know. You can't sue me if were friends. Come on!"

Melody proceeds to take her with her, well more like drag her along to see her Naruto-kun.

"Well, you see as I was walking down the street, I accidentally bumped into a nice Hyuuga girl. And we...Uhh...hit it off quite well."

With a sweat drop he said in his head, 'that sounded way to fake to be true. She probably knocked the person over and almost got sued….*with a mental sigh*…Again.' Then he noticed movement behind her, a body slightly twitching. "Uh, Millie-chan? Who's that?"

"Oh that's the nice Hyuuga girl I told you about." Responded Melody nonchalantly.

"Uhm, is she okay?" responded a worried Naruto walking over to the girl. "Has she woken up yet?"

"Technically, not, but I couldn't leave her in the middle of the street. Please help me wake her up!" she falls on her knees pulling on Naruto's shirt.

"Okay, okay, I will. I'll help, don't worry."

"You're my hero!" yelled Melody and gave Naruto a bear hug.

'Just another day in paradise' thought Naruto bitterly.

"Uh, what happen? I feel like I just had a major wipe out."

"Totally" Naruto responded

"Huh...What? Who said…WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" yelled a confused Hyuuga Girl.

"Oh, I'm sorry. The names Naruto and this here is Melody-chan *whispering* the one who knocked you down." Naruto said while Melody tried to hide behind him. "So what's your name? You're a Hyuuga right? I only ask 'cause I've never seen you around." Asked a curious Naruto

"Hmm… Well you've never seen me because I just moved here. And yeah, I'm a Hyuuga." Answered the girl.

"Uh I didn't catch a name." said Melody

"Oh, uh, my bad dude..et. The names Hyuuga. HInata Hyuuga.
