Chapter One
Ocean
Ahh, this is surreal, she thought. It felt as though a heavy weight was coming off her small shoulders. The light of the sun had faded from her eyes moments ago, and she fell deeper and deeper into the dark abyss that was the sea.
No, this wasn't a suicide. Just a coincidence. She had been invited to the beach that day and was out with her small group of friends. She was a happy girl on the outside, but hid lots of things from others within herself. Today, was a nice change of pace for her when her friends invited her out. What seemingly started out as a harmless fun day, seemed to have put her here. But she wasn't complaining. The pain of living had already torn down her will and was leaving her bland and without a care in the world. She had given up long ago. It was only a matter of time, she thought. But to have it happen so suddenly, was a slight shock. She had tried to right herself in the water when a large wave overcame her and the strong current pulled her down. There was a moment of panic but then relief washed over her. It was strange to be this okay with the thought of dying. But she never felt connected in this world. Always out of place, like a strange parasite. She felt sad at the thought of her friends crying over her. But she knew their tears wouldn't fall forever and that they would move on.
Her heart beat thrummed in her ears as the pressure of the water was beating down on chest. She could hear it slowing. She closed her eyes from the stinging salt water and just embraced the moment.
Though when the moment came when she thought her heart would stop, it didn't.
Instead, she opened her eyes and she was falling still. Though it wasn't the same sensation. The light of the sun nearly blinded her when she opened her eyes, and she could hear the strong sound of wind blowing around her. She flailed and screamed as she was falling down to the earth. How was this happening? A moment ago she was drowning and now she was falling from the sky? Her body spun, and she unintentionally summersaulted, giving her a not so wonderful view of the ground that was quickly coming closer and closer.
No! This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. She didn't want to leave that kind of mark on the world. Drowning was one thing, but falling to the ground and, well, leaving a gruesome body wasn't what she wanted. Panic overcame her and she fell silent. She ended up passing out in the air still falling to her death. Or second death?
Konoha
The Hokage hummed a small tune. He was happily signing some documents. How could he not be happy right now? Konoha was slowly getting on its feet. The Uchiha were with them. And, he smirked to himself. He had found a wonderful women to spend his life with. And boy was she wonderful. He thought about the festivities that went on last night, specifically in the bedroom and couldn't help but smile.
"Aniki, you're drooling." A voice told him. He brought a hand to his mouth and wiped away the small trace of drool that had fallen down his face. He jumped to his feet and pointed a finger.
"When you find the one Tobirama," He said looking to his unamused brother. "You cant help but think about her, and her body, and the way that she—"
"I don't want to hear about your experiences in the bedroom." Tobirama huffed and looked down at his paper work. The God of Shinobi, he shook his head at the thought. His brother was very powerful but sometimes, he looked to his brother again as he was seemingly daydreaming once again, he was a complete idiot.
Tobirama sighed. But a small smirk made its way to his lips. We had finally found peace in this warring world. Who wouldn't be at least a bit happier now that we knew that we didn't have to send out our children to battle, and husband and fathers wouldn't have to leave their families behind and fear for then as well? Yes, deaths still occurred, but certainly not at the rate that they used too. He leaned back in his chair and shut his eyes. He was thinking about the academy and how to go about running it.
His thoughts were interrupted when he felt something. A strong chakra suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He tensed and looked to his brother.
"Aniki." He said.
Hashirama nodded. "Mm, we need to go." With that the two Senju men ran out of the building and to where the chakra was. For a moment it was raging and going haywire, which did not bode well for them since it was so powerful. It surpassed Tobirama's and was on equal or greater footing that his own. His eyes narrowed at the threat. But all of a sudden the chakra calmed as if it was asleep. Still, this did not mean that they could relax.
The Senju men ran quickly to the source. But what they saw had not been what they were expecting.
Forest
Madara was wondering the forest, as he did most days to get away from the stagnant life in Konoha. This new setup has not been treating him too kindly. He frowned. His own clan was looking down on him. Madara's idea of peace differed from Hashirama's, where Hashirama envisioned cooperation with the other newly-formed villages, Madara desired control so the peace could never be lost. He was concerned for his clan after Hashirama was elected Hokage, since this seemed like the first step in Senju dominance.
He grunted in annoyance. Things weren't going the way he wanted. Power, he thought. More power was necessary for his plans. He looked to the sun. It was annoyingly bright today, as it was most days in the Fire Country.
He walked for several more minutes until he paused. He froze for a moment, then his blood boiled. Strange, it only ever did this when he fought Hashirama. Madara quickly ran to the source of this powerful chakra. He grinned evil, this chakra rivalled his own. Luck seemed to be on his side. He had been so bored, and was itching for a good fight. He was only a few hundred metres away from the person. But when he got there he was confused.
"Where is he?" He stood in a defensive position. Something overhead caused a shadow on the ground. Madara looked up, and his eyes widened slightly. A person was falling from the sky? On closer inspection he saw it was a female and she was screaming. He tensed as her chakra pulsed angrily. But in all of a second it calmed, and the woman also stopped screaming.
At this rate she would plummet to her death. Did he care? No. But her raw power intrigued him. He jumped up and caught her. When he landed he took a closer look at her. She was clad in nothing but what seemed to be colourful undergarments. A lesser man would be a mess in this situation. But he was Madara Uchiha and very little was able to get to him. Her pale blonde hair was long and wet. She was also very small and light, looking almost malnourished. Her skin was pale, like it had seen very little sun. But why was she wet, she had been falling from the sky?
He wondered for a moment what he should do with her. But then two new presences appeared. He grunted with annoyance, he really didn't want to deal with the Senju right now.
"Madara?" Hashirama spoke and he looked at the figure laying in Madara's arms. His cheeks lit up and his nose threatened to spill blood. No, Mito was the only one that he would allow this to happen to. But what was Madara doing here?
"What going on here?" Tobirama spoke, narrowing his eyes at the Uchiha.
"Don't look at me like that Senju." Madara growled. Tobirama didn't let up his glare. "I found her. She was falling from the sky and was unconscious."
Hashirama walked over to Madara and took a closer look. His eyes narrowed. He was confused. "Is she the source of the chakra that we felt?" How could this small female hold such raw chakra?
"Ah, I was confused as well, but it seems that way." Madara held out the woman and handed her to Hashirama. Tobirama approached them and reached behind him to one of his numerous hidden pockets and produced a tightly wound blanket. He unrolled it and draped in on the woman.
Tobirama watched her for a moment. He didn't miss the scars on her body when he placed the blanket over her. His eyes narrowed at her. Who is she? To appear out of nowhere, like that and to be falling out of the sky was strange enough. But what bothered him was that this little woman held such a massive power that was greater than his own.
The group jumped quickly back to Konoha. Hashirama led the way to the hospital, which was still under construction. Madara had gone off on his own once we made it to the village. Tobirama was curious so he stuck around. He also didn't trust her yet. Once she woke up she may be hostile, and he didn't want to take that chance having brought her into the village. She did look innocent enough but that didn't ease the tension he had. Hashirama had left, wanting to inform Mito about her, leaving Tobirama in the room.
He crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned against the wall. The girl was sleeping soundly in bed. A nurse had checked over her earlier and told them that she had just fallen unconscious and could wake up at any time.
So many questions buzzed in his head, but that could only be answered when she woke up. Just as he thought this he saw the girl stirred. He tensed, unsure of what may happen next. The girl sat up and rubbed her eyes. She yawned and looked around the room. Her face looked confused as she was taking in her surroundings.
"Where am I?" She said aloud and looked down at what she was wearing. She had a large white gown on and a few blankets over her legs.
"Konoha." She jumped slightly at a voice. She had no idea that there was someone even in the room with her. He stepped a few paces closer and into the rays of sunlight that filtered into the room. She looked at him in awe. He was staring at her with piercing red eyes that she didn't want to look away from, and had three red markings on his face. Weird. His hair was also a wonderful snow white colour. He wore black clothing with, what was that? Blue armour? Who wore armour these days? Don't tell me he's one of those crazy obsessed cosplayers? She shivered at the thought. But his cold stare brought her thoughts back to the present.
"Konoha?" She scratched her head. "Never heard of it." But on a bigger note. How was she still alive? She was sure that she had been drowning not moments ago. But then she remembered that she was falling from the sky. Oh, she thought, maybe I did die and this is heaven? She rubbed her chin thinking long about it. She pinched her arm. "No, not a dream at least."
"Who are you?" The man in the armour asked, he didn't look very pleased at the moment.
"I'm Mavis Hayashi." She smiled at the man. Wood, huh? Tobirama almost chuckled to himself. Mavis felt a bit more relaxed seeing the man's shoulder lower slightly. [a/n. Hayashi=wood]
"Well, Hayashi-san—"
"Mavis please," She began and gripped the blankets at her legs. "Please call me Mavis, I don't like being called Hayashi." She looked up at Tobirama and forced a smile. He noticed this and frowned slightly.
"Alright Mavis." He saw her automatically relax when he called her by her name. "If you could, I would like you to tell me why you are here."
Mavis watched as the name dragged over a chair and set it beside the bed. He sat down and placed his elbows on his knees and he gazed at her. Mavis blushed slightly. His red eyes looked like they could pierce her soul.
"Uh, Ok." She said, but fidgeted a bit. "But first could you tell me your name?"
"Tobirama Senju." He said plainly and watched her as she took in his name. Usually people would recognize the name Senju at least. But there wasn't a hint of it with her.
"Senju-san." She spoke and smiled. "Nice to meet you." Tobirama simply nodded and waited for her to speak.
"Well, I don't know why I'm here either, and you may find this strange," She paused. "Even I don't really understand what is going on." She looked out the window. "One moment I was drowning, knowing that I was going to die." Tobirama frowned at this which she didn't noticed. "And the next I was falling from the sky." She looked back to him. "And now I'm here." She shrugged.
"Are you a ninja?" He asked.
"A ninja?" Her eyes turned curious. "Why would I be a ninja? Are there even ninja in this day and age? I mean sure, years ago there must have been loads of them, but not in the present."
"So no."
"Of course not! Ninja are obsolete." She raised her voice slightly.
"Obsolete? They are an essential part of society to protect and serve their village and—"
"What are you talking about?" Her eyebrows scrunched together.
Tobirama was confused. How could she not know about ninja? But she looked like I was speaking a different language. He repeated what she had told him and was fitting the pieces together. But he needed more information to finish his idea.
"Are you alright to stand?" He asked, also standing up from his chair.
"I think so." Mavis pulled off the blanket and stepped down onto the floor.
"Good, follow me."
"While I'm wearing this?" She looked down at her clothing. "I don't think so." She stood in place. Tobirama's forehead twitched. He hoped that this girl wasn't going to be too stubborn. But as he looked at her, it looked almost like he was looking at Hashirama during one of his emotional moments. He visibly relaxed at the sight. But that didn't help his problem. He needed to find out more about this girl. And if his inclination was correct he needed to take her outside.
"The clothes you were wearing are on the chair beside you but," he looked back at her. "I doubt you would want to wear those either."
Mavis looked down at the chair and saw her bikini folded neatly on it. She blushed when she realized that she wasn't wearing a bra or rather, anything to support her chest. She quickly reached to the bed and wrapped a blanket around her. She heard Tobirama sigh.
Tobirama contemplated for a moment and saw no risk in stepping out for a moment to procure some clothing for her. He looked back at her for a moment and saw that her cheeks were tinted a light pink. She seems innocent.
"I'm going to get you some clothes, stay right there." He eyed her. She simply nodded and sat back down on her bed. He then placed a hand on the wall, marking it and used his Flying Thunder God Technique, and appeared in his bedroom. He thought it would take to long for one of the nurses to find her suitable clothes to go outdoors in so he rather be quick and grab a pair of his own and be done with it. He walked to his drawer and grabbed his normal pair of black shirt and back pants. This pair was old and was small on him, so it would fit her better than his current ones. Why he hadn't thrown these ones out already, he didn't know. But with the clothes in hand, and a pair of ninja sandals, he used his technique again and appeared in the room. He saw her sitting there, her jaw looking as though it was about to fall through the floor. Tobirama smirked lightly to himself, pleased to have made an impression on this strange girl.
"What in the world?" She gasped. How did he do that? He was here then he vanished and then not a minute later he reappeared. She watched as he walked towards her and moved back slightly, unsure of him.
Tobirama noticed this and sighed. "It's a technique I created that allows me to move place to place in the matter of a second."
"Pffft." He heard the girl make a noise. "Are you some sort of wizard or something?" She laughed lightly. "Ahh, I must be dreaming after all."
"Wizard? No, I'm a ninja." He handed her the clothing, and she took it looking no longer threatened by my presence.
"Again with the ninja stuff. Man, you need to get out more. I mean ninja are cool, don't get me wrong but," She looked over Tobirama with a lazy eye, which made him a bit pissed. "Dressing like one for the fun of it isn't cool."
Tobirama clenched his fist. He wasn't dressing up, these were his everyday clothes! This woman!
"Go, and change." He said sternly.
"Yes." She saluted him, looking bored. Tobirama watched her walk of and into the bathroom. She seemed to know what to say to get right under his skin. He stepped back and leaned against the wall until she came out.
"You know," She said as she opened to bathroom door. "these clothes are actually really comfortable." She twirled around. Tobirama took a moment to look her over. Her pale blonde hair fell down to her hips and her bright blue eyes glistened happily. Sure, she was drowning in excess material but he could still make out the faint line of her rear and bust. He noticed that her other attire that was on the chair was gone and that she must be wearing in.
"Though," Mavis began. "It would be nice not to have to wear my swimsuit, it's still a bit damp." She scratched at her shoulders where the straps were.
That was a swimsuit? Tobirama thought. But rather than voicing his thoughts and causing another problem he decided to finally leave.
"Follow me." Tobirama walked out of the room and Mavis was following silently behind him.
Tobirama and Mavis made their way out of the hospital and into the village. Tobirama slowed to walk beside her, and watched and she took in the sight of the village. Her eyes widened.
"Woah." She looked in front of her and took in the people, the building and the area around them. A thought crossed her mind. This place looks like something from the history books. She looked around at the people and noticed some looked average wearing plain shirts and pants, while others looked like they were in uniform as they wore a vest and a headband. The word 'ninja' screamed in her mind. She stopped where she was. She crouched to the ground, her head in her hands.
This has to be a joke. Her mind reeled over the possible scenarios of what was going on. But her thoughts were interrupted when Senju-san crouched down in front of her.
"Everything alright?" He asked. She seemed to be putting the pieces together that he had been moments ago.
"Umm, I'm not so sure anymore." She confessed.
Wooooo! I am loving this story so far. But I hope for positive results and I will continue on with it for all you guys to.
