Chapter 1: The escape

She had been running for hours. She knew that she had left the Land of Waves, and had entered the Land of Fire, but she didn't care, all she had to do was get away, from the memories. She had seen her mother killed in front of her by her father, and she had killed her father herself. She was near the outskirts of a village when she passed out, but not before seeing a blur of orange running her way.

That blur of orange was actually a five year old boy, with blonde hair and blue eyes in an orange jumpsuit that was running as fast as he could after just losing a mob that had been tailing him for the past twenty minutes. He was just starting to slow down when a small movement caught his eye and he went to check it out.

He found a girl about his age dressed in long sleeve dark blue shirt and long brown pants. She was passed out on the ground from what looked like exhaustion and malnutrition, things that he was all too familiar with. His eyes widened as he ran to check her pulse, just like old man Hokage had taught him when he had first said that he wanted to be a ninja. 'Thank Kami she's alive' he thought.

His next thoughts were that he needed to get her to medical treatment. He needed to get her to the hospital 'no matter how much they might hate him they would treat her, right' he thought. He just instinctively felt that he had to save her 'If I'm going to be a shinobi then I need to be able to save people' he reasoned. Anyone that saw him would have only seen an orange blur speeding at inhumanly fast speeds. Finally he reached the front desk; the woman sneered and looked down at him. "What do you want you little demon" she spat. Naruto sighed; by now he was used to this kind of treatment, he got this kind of treatment whenever he wasn't with the old man or at Ichiraku's. He held up the girl for her to see hoping that she would at least take pity on the girl and treat her even if she had arrived with him.

No such luck. The woman again sneered as she looked down at them and said "So you finally killed off one of your friends, serves her right for being a demon lover." This got Naruto extremely mad, but just as he was about to retort a woman in a tan trench coat and skirt with a fishnet top approached, she had seen the whole thing and she didn't like it on bit.

"What the hell is going on here?" The woman said angrily.

Naruto spoke up, "I found this girl in the woods and she looked like she had just run a long way and had been severely malnourished so I rushed her here. Then you showed up."

The woman seemed furious to Naruto, so he cringed and wondered what he had done wrong. Seeing this the woman seemed to get even more mad. "I'm reporting this to the Hokage," she spat at the nurse. She then turned to Naruto, as her expression softened slightly, "Come on gaki, I'm going to take you to see the Hokage to get her checked out."

Anko was furious to say the least. She had been the brunt of a lot of glares and snide remarks ever since she had come back from being apprenticed to the snake, but to see even more hate than even she received, directed at a five year old no less was infuriating. So she burst into the Hokage's office, despite the secretary's protests, still dragging the blonde gaki and the unconscious little girl.

"Anko what is the meaning of this?" the old kage said, slightly irritated that she had interrupted him at one of the few precious moments when he didn't have any of his greatest enemy, paperwork, while he could have been enjoying his precious Icha Icha.

"I want to know why the hospital would refuse to help this girl when the gaki brought her in." She said motioning to the two five year olds behind her. It was the first time Sarutobi had gotten a good look at them, he had vaguely noted their presence, but he had been concentrated on Anko. He saw Naruto and the girl in his arms and gasped. People had refused him in their shops; that was unavoidable, but he had never thought the hospital would refuse him service.

"Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I will deal with it as soon as I can, and I will have my personal doctor check out the girl. Is there anything else I can do for you?" he asked.

"Actually there is," she said, before turning to Naruto, "Hey gaki, can you leave me and the old man alone for a minute. You can just wait outside."

Naruto replied "Okay, but shouldn't we get her some medical treatment first."

Sarutobi smiled and said "I already called for a doctor; she should be on her way right now."

Naruto smiled and left the room. The Hokage made a hand seal to prevent eavesdroppers, "Now what was it that you wanted Anko."

Anko said, with a cool face, "I would like to adopt Naruto, and if that girl doesn't have any parents, which by the state of her clothes, I don't doubt, I would like to adopt her too, from the looks of it they look worse off than I did after the hebi-teme abandoned me. I don't want anyone to have to go through what I went through."

To say Sarutobi was shocked was an understatement, here was Anko, the village's second pariah only to Naruto, offering to adopt him, not only that but another apparent orphan as well. Sarutobi had always trusted Anko more than the rest of the villagers did, so he believed that she meant no harm. He sighed and breathed out a stream of smoke, "Anko I'll allow it, I want you to help them give them a place to stay and be at home, a place to be loved. Anko can you do that? I will give you a week to think this over before this is made final; you will have to discuss this with them first though. Okay."

Anko nodded before bowing out of the room to go see her two to be charges within a week, hopefully.

A week had passed and the girl had woken up and said her name was Haku, she told her story about how she had seen her father murder her mother and how she had escaped by killing him, then running to fire country where she heard rumors of nice people and a place where she might find a somewhere to live happily.

She spent a lot of time crying on Anko's shoulders and talking to Naruto. The Sandaime had told Haku and Naruto of how they were being offered to be adopted by Anko a few days after Haku woke up, and they both agreed immediately.

Little did they know that that small action was the start of a legend.

A/N I know I made Anko a little out of character but she won't stay like that she'll be back in character next chapter

Also This is not a Naru/femHaku fic, they will be like brother and sister and incest is wrong.

The pairings I know so far are

Naru/Yugi

Haku/Gaara

Shika/Tema

And the never before seen Lee/Yakumo(They both have disabilities when it comes to ninja training so I thought it would be cute for once, plus Lee rocks)

The only other two people I know that I want in a pairing are

Tayuya/?

Isaribi/?

So I might put up a poll for it or just pick at random from the Naruto guys.
