Hey!

So this is my first story, I'm planning on making it a long one hopefully so I hope you'll stick around.

Any criticism or praise at all would be greatly appreciated and I'm sorry if you don't like my story or think it's boring, though I hope that's not the case!

Thanks

I do not own Naruto.


"Few people when meet first time they feel that meeting each other was the purpose of their life."

A sudden breeze blew through the stillness of the hazy orange evening, a reminder that Autumn was just around the corner.

As Naruto, who today was on guard duty, was completing his second lap of the village outskirts he pondered this. The end of summer was finally coming and he would once again have to endure the cold and harsh winter in his unheated apartment. The thought alone was enough to make him sigh. This melancholic mood was a little uncharacteristic of him and he knew it, but he couldn't help but feel that it was justified.

He had been depressed lately, fed up of never being able to bring back his best friend, Sasuke, even after all the training he had undergone with his late master Jiraya. He also had to admit his waning feelings for Sakura, his childhood crush of so many years. He couldn't deny her feeling for Sasuke forever and as he distanced himself from those feelings of affection all that was left was a sense of loneliness that left a bitter taste in his mouth. Of course he still loved Sakura, just not in the same way any more and somehow that hurt.

Rounding back to the gates of the village and out of the trees, he looked out onto the dusty path that led outwards. The sunset looked beautiful today, he decided, and stood admiring the nature until voices floated into his ear from behind him. Turning, he observed the gathering of people at the gates only 15 metres away form him. There was Granny Tsunade and Shizune facing his direction and another figure with her back to him. He decided to approach, as his usual nosiness took over.

As he came closer he could hear their conversation more clearly.

"... hope you'll be comfortable." Tsunade finished with a smile, before noticing the boy heading their way. "Ah, Naruto! Anything to report?" She asked, and as he came to stand a little behind the unknown girl she turned his way, also waiting for an answer.

The girl looked around his age, if not a little older, with long brown hair that fell just below her bust. Her face was soft and round, with wide hazel coloured eyes and fuller lips, with the lower one being slightly lopsided if anything. She was much shorter than he, though, and on size alone could have been no older than 14. However, her frame gave away her true age as she had filled out in all her womanly ways.

"Uh... no" he decided, after looking the girl up and down once. Noticing the boy's eyes wandering, A smirk crept up on the elder Hokage's face.

"Ah-hem!" she caught the attention of both the young shinobi and began speaking again. "Naruto, this is Miya. She's transferred from Kirigakure today and from now on will be a Konoha shinobi."

The girl turned back to him then, with a straight face. "Nice to meet you." She extended her right hand to the boy who seemed a little speechless.

"Yeah..." he replied slowly, grabbing the warm hand before bursting into one of his usual Cheshire grins, "You too! Welcome anyways, It's really great here and one day I'm gonna be the Hokage so if you wanna get an autograph early that's fine by me!" he beamed, making the girl smile slightly before turning back to the smirking Hokage once more.

"Well, now that you two are acquainted, why don't you show Miya here around a little, after you've dropped your things off of course" The older woman smiled sweetly. To anyone else this would have seemed like a friendly gesture, but Naruto, of course, saw straight through the old lady's fake smile.

"O, Baa-Chan! Don't offload all of your work onto me just 'cos you're busy! I'm supposed to be done for the day you know." Naruto Argued. Although he did want to get to know the girl better, he was pretty tired himself and was supposed to be meeting up with the guys later.

"Naruto-kun, the Hokage is very busy right now..." Shizune started, her eyes pleading and thinking back to all of the paperwork still left to do.

Naruto grumbled something uninterpretable before resigning. "Fine! But I want an extra holiday for this" he bargained, playing it cool. In actuality, the thought of showing Miya around made him a little excited, something he hadn't felt in a while even if it did mean missing Yakini Q. Turning back to the girl, he said "I'll come by in about an hour, yeah?" to which she simply said thanks. As She left with Shizune to be shown to her apartment, Tsunade gave Naruto the address and he set off back to his own place to change.

As he walked he thought. Half an hour ago his day had been much less interesting, and he wasn't sure why he felt a little excited now. Transferred huh? I wonder what would make a person do something like that... she was pretty good looking though, heh! He smirked with an accomplished look on his face, before turning the lock on his door and going inside, all trace of his sullen mood abolished, it seemed.


Miya had never been in a place like this. Back in Kirigakure everything seemed a little colder, more dangerous. However, as she walked behind the small brown haired woman to her new home she couldn't help but feel warmth. Not from the particularly nice evening weather but the people, the liveliness of the streets, the children still out playing ball and the hustle and bustle of it all. Thinking back to her life in Kiri she couldn't help but feel at home already.

She also thought back to the boy at the gate, recalling his name and his big silly grin. She smirked to herself a little, thinking about the way he had totally checked her out back then, before her face hardened and she cut off her thoughts. No, you idiot. she thought harshly. You are not doing this! She decided. However, as she was led up a small flight of stairs and into a small three roomed flat, that bright white smile stayed begrudgingly imprinted in her mind.
