Naruto Warriors Series

Chapter One

The Beginning

I was running through the trees, with a laugh in my voice. "Man, I'm so thirsty" I thought,"better head off to the Free River" I run faster now that I know where I was, The Great Sycamore. Only a little while away from Mom and Dad! I think again. But then, I hear a scream, "TENTEN! Get away from here, NOW!" I turn toward the voice, "DAD? MOM?" I scream back. Then, BAM! Knock out, and everything turned black...

I woke up with a splitting head ache, and I instantly jumped up. "Where am I? What happened? Mom? Dad? Are you here?" I looked around, not recognizing ANYTHING. Where could have been? I was running in the forest, then was knocked out and now I can't remember anything else than that. I felt something warm by my side, though.

"Quit moving." muttered a voice. I jumped toward the voice, which was the person beside me. I got my claws sheathed, ready to fight.

"HEY!" it hissed at me. I yowled back at him,

"Where am I? Who are you? And how did I end up here?"

I was swishing my paw at him as soon as he hissed. At that moment, I made a jump to get on top of him. Sadly, he was faster than I. He twisted his head around and jumped on top of me. Gee! For a kit, such as me, he sure is strong! He had a pure white pelt, except for his tail, ears, and paws; they were brown. But his eyes, they were lavender, with no pupils at all.

"Get off of me!"I shouted struggling to get free. "NO!" he shouted back. I couldn't breathe, and for a moment, I thought that was the end of me. But then a voice rang out,

"NEJI! Get off of her right now!" an older cat scolded him. Neji obeyed immediately.

"She started it," he muttered under his breath.

He walked back over to his mother in peace. "So, his name is Neji huh? Brat." I thought. I shook my fluffy dark tan fur out of my anger, my longer, darker brown fur that was on top of my head shook with it. I looked around again, still, nothing looked familiar. I looked at the cat who I assumed was Neji's mother.

"Excuse me miss, but where am I?" I asked politely. Neji scoffed at the new change of attitude. His mother smiled back at me, and replied, "Oh, darling, you are in the Fire Clan, in the middle of the Great Forest." She gave Neji a quick lick on the head before continuing, "This is my only kit, Neji, who is quite strong and smart for his age." She had a look of pride on her face as she said that. She then looked at me," Now that you know us, who are you, sweetie?"

I paused a moment, then I answered, "My name is Tenten, and I was just curious of how I got here?" It was more of a statement than a question.

"OH! Of course, you came with Neji's uncle, Hizashi; he had found you passed out in the middle of the forest on one of his hunting sessions." Neji's body shook after she had said "Hizashi". I wondered why. I couldn't remember anything like that happening, so I just thought I fell asleep on a quick run to the river. "Oh well" I thought as I licked my paw, it stung for some reason. My stomach growled, and I blushed with embarrassment. Neji's mother chuckled, "You must be starving! You haven't been eating at all when you were asleep."

I was SO embarrassed now. "If it's any trouble, its okay, I won't have anything."I said looking up into her lavender eyes with my deep brown ones.

"Nonsense!" she said with a swish of her tail," we have to get up ready for kit school with Iruka-kun."

"Kit school?"I asked curious. Neji nodded his head, "Yes, it's where the kits go to learn how to become an apprentice." He licked his paw, and put it to his ears, then I noticed something, he was wearing a cobweb bandage over his forehead, and so was his mother.

I wanted to ask why they was wearing them, but I used my manners, and instead asked,

"What's an apprentice?" I wanted to know this too. Neji sighed at me and rolled his eyes.

"An apprentice is the rank of a cat before the rank warrior. As you can see, we are still kits, so our rank is Kit right now, which is why we go to kit school to learn how to become an apprentice. A kit is just the beginning of our lives right now, then it is Apprentice, a Warrior-in-training, we will be getting a mentor to learn how to become a warrior like them. After all of our training, you are a warrior, and will have –Kun or –San at the end of your name, and this is the end of the line for your ranking." He raised his eyebrow at me, "Unless, you become Deputy, the rank before Clan Leader, the cat who leads the clan."

He continued to groom himself, and looked over at me again, "Is this clear enough for you?" I nodded to him, keeping my anger inside of myself after his comment.

He nodded also,"Good, now we need to eat before kit school." He walked over to his mother and began to eat his fill, and I slowly joined him. His mother was right, I was starving! I felt much better afterwards, too.

After I was done, Neji and I walked over toward this huge bracken of thorns. I was of course following him; I didn't know where to go! I stayed close to Neji as we walked through, all these pairs of eyes staring at me. I hoped kit school would go okay…
