Chapter 1.
When an Uzumaki plans, its bound to go wrong.
The lone tree stood in the garden, surrounded by grass and minor flowers peeking here and there, its posture regal and elegant. The pink flowers adoring it were showered by the rare rays of sunlight that were peeking through the horizon. The scene suggested peace and quiet.
…Until a small hand clasped roughly on a branch, trying not to fall. The hand was followed soon by a small figure, clad in a creamy, light orange kimono, simple, yet elegant, with orange flower design crawling over the sleeves to the torso. The figure gave a grunt, very uncharacteristic for a female. Not that she cared anyway. Oh no. This was Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto, also known as the most hyperactive child ever born in Konohagakure. She liked dressing as a boy (though that hobby had to stop when she was 10. Kushina had finally put her foot down and made her dress like a proper lady of her stature), she liked acting like a boy, and she liked pranks. Currently she was trying to climb the only tree in their garden to watch the sunrise. This wasn't her first time. No…but this was the first time she was going to see it from this height.
Putting her sandal clad foot firmly on another branch the climbed higher, some of the twigs messing up her hair. Not even stopping to stare at the flowers, which were her favorite since childhood, she reached the highest branch and clang to it for dear life. It was thinner then her hand.
Finally! I made it, dattebayo!
A sigh escaped her lips as she saw the first reddish rays illuminate the dark sky. This was her dream, to be free and roam the skies. She felt like a dragon. No, scratch that. She wanted to be a dragon.
"Hmph…not fair!", she muttered in frustration and kicked the air with one foot, not forgetting to hug the thin branch for dear life in the process.
"What…is not fair…Uzumaki sama…"
Naruto 's cerulean eyes widened as she slowly turned her head to face a very…and I mean very pissed of Umino Iruka. He was the caretaker of the Uzumaki-Namikaze household and was the only one who could catch her during her pranks..except Minato of course. Thought the father of said household never punished her, but actually encouraged her. This made the girl smile brightly. The smile faltered as she registered the expression currently plastered on Iruka's scarred face.
She quickly climbed down, and faced the man, trying to compose her face into the most innocent look she ever mastered. Didn't work.
Fume was literally coming off his head.
"Uh…."
"Naruto…", the man signed and rubbed his temples," you are getting married in a few days. Married ladies do NOT climb trees!". He took a note of her tousled hair, full of twigs and the few tears in her kimono. That didn't help.
Naruto glared.
"I don't want to get married. I am only 16 Iruka-sensei! Why did kaa-chan and tou-chan decide this!", she screamed, stomping her foot in the process.
"Because you were betrothed by our parents, in other words, your grandparents", came a calm, low baritone. Iruka turned his head to see a slightly sleepy looking Minato Namikaze standing there in his nightgown, yawning.
Naruto pouted. "But daaaaaaad", she whined.
Minato held a hand up. " I am sorry Naru-chan, but the Hyuuga are and always were the oldest and most trusted friends of the Namikaze. I hope you do understand this…and wont play sick again, like you did last time they had wanted a visit..", he sweatdropped at the memory.
Naruto's eyes glazed over as she remembered what she had done 2 years ago. The Hyuuga elders, twin brothers from what she knew, and their father were coming to see the future bride. Her fiancé was the son of one of the twins. She didn't want to see them. She didn't want the wedding. So…she asked her best friend Uchiha Sasuke for advice. Sasuke suggested a plan and they even made his elder brother Itachi help. They stimulated her sickness, spread the rumor that was dangerous and was lethal. Thus, the visit was delayed for 2 years. She was extremely thankful for her friends.
She chuckled at the memory, but the look on her father's face stopped her. She sighed and looked at her feet. Damn…I need a way to get out this one…
It was like Kami himself was helping her! She looked at herself in the mirror to check one last time. Smiling in triumph, she sneaked away through the open window in her room. Only after an hour when Kushina came in to check on her did she find out that her precious daughter and the only heir to the clan was gone.
And the chaos began.
An hour earlier.
Naruto was sitting on her futon, sitting cross legged and thinking of a way to get out of all the mess. Her eyes were staring at the stone in her hand. It was a light amethyst, almost moonlight crystal, the symbol of the marriage. She knew there were two of them, and the other one belonged to her fiance. She gripped it tightly, as her face contracted in anger. I dont even know him but i already hate him...
She whacked her brain for a way..something, ANYTHING... a loophole...she was only 16, just starting to live, only just understanding how much she loved her freedom, how much she didn't want to be tied rules and obligations. She knew if she married into that particular clan, she would only be viewed as a child bearing machine. It reminded her of the Uchiha clan. She was glad that her friends Sasuke and Itachi rebelled against the rules. It was sort of luck when the whole clan was assassinated by some enemies of the clan. only a select few were left alive, them being Mikoto-sama, Fugaku teme (as Naruto secretly called him), their sons Itachi and Sasuke, Shisui, Itachi's best friend and Obito, who was like an uncle to Naruto, being one of the three students of her father. After that incident, Itachi had a long talk with his parents, and being the clan heir, he changed the rules. This resulted to Itachi going to travel around the continent and Sasuke being chased by fangirls, much to the amusement of Naruto (and Itachi, if his letters were any indication that he was laughing his ass off at his foolish little brother). She sighed. The Hyuuga were going to make her into a prisoner, being overly traditional. And Uzumaki Naruto hated that.
"Naruto…you know, you can't avoid this", said a gentle voice. The speaker was Tenten, an orphan girl the family had taken under their custody when she was little. Minato, Kushina and Naruto treated her like family, but Tenten had decided that she won't freeload. Working was her way of showing that she had pride, and she respected the Minato and Kushina.
Naruto groaned and slumped on the bed, head in the blankets. Tenten giggled.
"Well..if you were a boy, then there would be no marriage, but since you are a g-.." the brunette didn't even finish the sentence when the blonde jumped on her bed with a triumphant shriek. She was even more shocked when the small girl started yelling on top of her lungs and hugging her like no tomorrow.
Thus the taller girl could do the only thing she deemed right at that moment. She promptly sweatdropped.
The male population of Konohagakure was in awe. Never before had they seen such beauty walking along the dusty streets. Everything about her screamed regal. From her posture to the way she smiled. From the elegant wave of her creamy hand to the light swish of the wind that ruffled her long chocolate brown hair. She was breathtaking. Her chocolate brown hair was tied a neat bun in the shape of a rose at the top of her head. Two long bangs framed her face and reached her knees, just like the rest of her hair that wasn't in the bun. It cascaded in a straight wave all down to her knees, framing the light purple kimono that was adored with a complex design of flowers, kanji strings. The obi was dark purple and it had the ying/yang symbol embedded into the material. She wore a single, light blue crystal hanging low on her neck. It was a bit rough, not suited for a lady, but nevertheless, it completed her, in a strange way.
The men around her cat called as she passed them, the mere sweeping of her long hem made them drool. She was like Amaterasu that descended from Heavens.
The young girl paused for a moment, looking to her right, where a commotion had started. She came closer, slightly curious.
It seemed a young boy, a foot shorter then herself had accidentally stumbled upon a stand of apples and now everything was rolling around, the stank keeper, who was very large, beefy sort of man was screaming at the poor boy, who, in turn was clutching his head in pain.
Her eyes unconsciously roamed over the small boy. His long bright blonde hair was tied at the top of his head in a bun and the ponytail went all the way down to his feet. He was dressed in simple cream hakama, and a white yukata with blue designs on it. The obi was dark blue. She didn't have the time to marvel at how small the boy actually looked like, and how thin was his waist if the obi hugged his torso like that, when her eyes caught something else. It was a necklace.
A simple crystal.
The exact same shape as hers.
And the color of her eyes.
Hey milky white eyes widened as she let a barely audible gasp escape her. The boy, however, heard it and turned to face her.
She was mesmerized by the deepness of his cerulean eyes. The same color as her own necklace.
The boy's eyes widened as he noticed the necklace on her neck as well. The wind blew harshly, sending a few stray blonde hairs onto those sea blue eyes. They didn't blink.
Well damn…..now what!
Neither knew that they were thinking the exact same thing.
