Chapter One

A girl with long hair -that reached a little higher than her thigh, was asleep on in a tree in a part of the Konoha forest. The sunlight had hit her face, causing her to stir slightly. She opened her orchid tainted onyx-eyes, slowly to allow them to adjust to the sudden light. Though, she did not allow her legs the same amount because she slipped and fell to the floor below. Feeling that, she might as well rest from that ordeal; she sat herself down and gave her body the rest it needed. She then let her hair sway with the breeze, not knowing that a certain blonde-haired boy, a black-haired avenger, and pink-headed kunoichi in training would find her, asleep again.

I hear voices…

Naruto! Come on, be quiet or else you'll wake her! Naruto, are you even listening to me or Sasuke?

Come on, Sakura-chan! You have to be at least A LITTLE excited, I mean we found a girl in the woods and she's so pretty…

They're so loud… when will they stop? Don't they know I can hear them?

Quiet, both of you, she's waking up. We have to question her a little before we go back to the village…

I awoke to eyes staring at me, one pair was blue, another's was emerald and the last were pure onyx. I was wondering who they were and why they were staring at me.

The pink-haired girl spoke up after a few minutes of silence.

"Hi, I'm Haruno Sakura, these two are my classmates," she spoke politely, although I could tell that underneath her mask, she was a bit nervous.

"Hey, I'm gonna be the next Hokage, remember my name for now and the later Uzumaki Naruto!" This Naruto spoke very loud and boldly, showing me that he didn't usually back down from many things.

The last boy, the raven-haired onyx-eyed one, was very quiet. For his introduction, the only thing he said was, "Uchiha Sasuke." Then he was quiet once more. His voice was hard and cold, it sounded like a knife, ready to tear something up at any moment. I looked into his eyes and saw such emptiness; the only thing that I was able to determine was that he was seeking revenge, and that he was lonely. Such sadness, deep within his eyes, what could've hurt, what could've carved so deeply into his soul and mind? Although I was quite curious about him, I knew better than to pry into something so sad, something that seemed to kill his very heart…

"My name is Hana Kaoru, pleased to meet you all…"
