A/N:
This is our first story so be nice. This story is awesome so give it a chance. PLEASE! Lights, cameras, action!
This story begins on a dark, cloudless night in Konoha. On this night, four young aspiring shinobi start their quests. For one it is to find a childhood love, for another it is to forget the past, though one needs to remember, and one wants to protect those in need of help. It starts with a girl of eight years in a large house sheltering sixteen people from the freezing winter air. Snug and warm, Ren Kiyomizu is in her room, on her window seat, looking out at the cloudless, moonless night with the only thing shining down on her being the stars of the waterless sea. Ren stares at the stars in distaste, wanting them to go away. She has no need for waterless orbs hanging uselessly in the sky. She thinks about all the work to be forced upon her by her lazy family. She thinks hungrily of all the wonderful pies and how apple is the best. Aside from that, though she does love them, her family makes her do all the "women work" since her mother has passed on. Her mother passed away, leaving a small reminder of her existence. She loves her brother involuntarily; the only thing she can bring herself to care about. Still in thought, Ren hears her brother yell, "Turn your light of right now or I will make you!"
Across town, Kyo Yamaguchi and Makoto Suzuki are having a heartfelt conversation about the girl Kyo has been searching for what seems like his entire life.
"She has long black hair and startling black eyes and a beautiful smile." Kyo informs Makoto for the hundredth time.
Makoto replies, "Why are you being so illogical about her? You are never going to see her again. It's a one in a centillion, which is a ten followed by one hundred zeroes, which is one of the biggest numbers known to man."
"Aren't you inspirational? But I don't care what you say! I'm gonna find her, no matter what!" Kyo exclaims.
"You are so illogical." Makoto sighs, pushing up his glasses. "The dead are just simply dead."
"You meanie, she's not dead!" Kyo cries, then turns to face the sky. "Such pretty stars."
"Star, a massive, luminous sphere of plasma held together by gravity. At the end of its lifetime, a star can also contain..." Makoto shoots into his sciency talk as Kyo marvels at the stars.
"Your logical-ness is boring me." Kyo says, trying to prove a point. Makoto pushes up his glasses and mumbles more about stars and something that sounds like "illogical".
In the freezing cold streets often associated with February, Naomi Natsuki walks with her long black hair trailing behind her in an attempt to steal money to buy food, since her stomach is growling like her loyal wolf, Isuzu. Seeing an easy candidate, an old lady with a purse that looks like it's stuffed with money, Naomi calmly walks up, opens the purse, takes out some money and walks away without the lady even noticing. Sighing with happiness, she goes to the nearest dango shop and buys as many dango as she thinks she can eat. While giving some to the white-haired, black-eyed wolf, Naomi contently walks to a nice place to sleep, which today is an apartment's rooftop. She can hear someone screaming something that sounds something like "Illogical!" coupled with the response of "I'll find her!" Naomi rolls her eyes in disgust and fights the urge to yell, "What's your problem!?". Trying her best to think of something else, she ponders the grueling days of work ahead of her and wonders if she'll ever find a place called "home". Tired of living, she closes her eyes in an attempt to sleep even though the annoyingly bright stars overhead are keeping her awake.
