This is my first story; please don't be too harsh, I'm new at this. I do not own Naruto…Duh
" Are you awake yet………. Hello in there………..WAKE UP!!!"
I awoke with a gasp to see Kiba right in my face.
" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?! I WAS ASLEEP!!!!"
" Well, I thought you would want to get breakfast at the place that Naruto praises for its ramen" he said. I rubbed my eyes from sleep.
"Who eats ramen for breakfast?"
" We do, when Naruto is buying, even if he doesn't know it yet."
I had to laugh at that; poor Naruto was always stuck with the bill when he invited Kiba and me to any meal, oh well.
"Okay, I'll be down after I get dressed, which means you have to leave."
" Fine, I'll just peek when you aren't looking."
" First off, ew, secondly, I will hear you coming up the stairs, you have the feet of an elephant."
Once Kiba had left the room I pulled my self out of bed and walked over to the mirror. Kiba had been kind enough to let me live in his apartment, I lived in what could have been a large walk-in closet, but now it's just a small room. I looked in the mirror to see a thin girl with short black hair that was a mess, and cat's eyes. I glanced down at the scars on my arm, they were either from fighting with dogs for food or hiding in forests from people who I had gotten into a fight with that I knew I could not win or from adults looking for me because I had gotten into trouble.
But that was all behind me now.
As soon as I was dressed, after stopping Kiba from spying on me several times, I walked out side to meet Kiba and Naruto at the ramen place.
" Ronin, over here" Naruto called waving. I waved back to him. Naruto always seemed to have a smile on his face despite his…"problem" if you will; he was like a ray of light that no darkness could drown out.
" Wow," Kiba stated looking me up and down "you wore that?"
I gave him a puzzled look; " I always wear this" I looked at what I was wearing. The mesh shirt, like the one Shikamaru wore, and a black tube top over it, (the tube top stopped below my chest) And black shorts that came to where my fingers , and I had to mesh leggings on one that came from under the shorts down to the knee, and one that went from my shoe to my below my knee (same as Tamari's)
Naruto laughed at Kiba, who was still starring at me " Stop staring at her and order already."
After we had all ordered and finished we were all walking back to Naruto's house, because Naruto and Kiba were going to play a game of shoji.
"I've never eaten so much ramen before" Kiba said holding his stomach,
" You wimp," Naruto bragged, " You only had two bowls, and I had five."
I looked at him for a minute and then looked at Kiba
" How do you eat that much?" I asked " Watching you eat is like feeding time at the zoo Naruto"
We walked the rest of the way making jokes about each other's eating habits and laughing.
I was laughing so hard at a joke that Naruto said about how Kiba and Akamaru look exactly the same when they are eating I didn't really notice the three ninjas walking towards us. I only realized it when I slammed into one of then. I looked at his hard face covered in purple marks.
" Watch where you're going" he snapped at me
A snarl ripped from my throat, " Why don't you watch were you're going and maybe you wont ram into people!" I responded
"Stop it you two!" I looked to see a girl in the group, her blonde hair looked pale in comparison with the flame red hair of the boy next to her. As I looked at the strange group I realized the only similarity they had was that each of them carried something on their backs. The girl carried a fan and I couldn't identify what the boy I had hit was carrying. But the only member that had my attention was the red haired boy in the middle with a gourd on his back.
"Crap!" Naruto said, holding his hand, " I cut my hand on a kunai knife in my pocket."
" Again!?" Kiba said as he hurried to cover my eyes and nose
It was to late, I had already smelled the blood flowing from Naruto's hand. My arms and legs shook I clutched my throbbing head in my hands.
" Is she squeamish?" Naruto's voice questioned
" No you idiot! I've told you this over and over again!" Kiba yelled at Naruto as he still held his hands over my face, " Do I need to tell you again?"
" Yeah" Naruto responded in an embarrassed tone
"IDIOT!!" Kiba screamed as I now fought against him to get to the blood now falling to the ground.
The sound of the blood dripping was all I heard, I didn't hear Kiba or Naruto or the other ninjas, all I heard was the blood. Blood, the word circled in my head, the taste filled my mouth.
You might be asking what is happening to me, or you don't really care. But I'll tell you anyway. Like Naruto, I have a demon sealed inside me; unlike him I shared that demon. Another child was chosen to harbor the demon, I was given half and he was given half. He received the half that controlled the jutsus and ninja skills, while I received the half that fed of blood and killed and fought. Since I was so young the demon chakra and mine mixed into one.
" WE HAVE TO GET GAARA OUT OF HERE!!!!" the girls voice called in panic. I looked up to see the boy with red hair, Gaara, being held up and dragged off as he breathed heavily and clasped his head in his hand.
I was going to discover the secrets that made up Gaara, even if it killed me.
