The Naruto characters are not mine, I do not own them. However, the characters I have created and the plot are owned by Foxie, Rabbie, and Wolf Inc. DO NOT STEAL OUR BABIES!!!!

Okay now that that is straight. Please review. I'm begging thee. Tell me what's wrong so I can fix it. Tell what's right so I can keep doing it. I don't mind flames as long as they tell me what's wrong. Oh, and don't tell me the plot sucks cuz that ain't gonna be fixed.

Okay. I'm done with my postage, so onto the good part.

Foxie, Rabbie, and Wolfie Inc. present:

Section 1: The Start.

The VERY small Hidden Village in the Waves was a secret and floating home to many ninja and wanderlust villagers. Its markets flourished and were bustling with its average morning rush. The river running through the middle of the city was as much in a rush as those whom crossed its banks. The stream streets were as full as usual with tiny cast-off boats attempting to sell extra wares to both shops and the average customer.

A teen of 16 is walking down the said market streets past all kinds of vendors attempting to sell her furniture as well as very delectable and expensive food. She is wearing a black mini tube top with matching disconnected fishnet sleeves and a fishnet shirt that begins where her tube top ends. The fishnet is tucked into a pair of worn and torn blue jeans. She also is being followed by her trusty black-haired friend, Susume.

"Luca! Luca!"

"Huh, what, huh?" Luca said, as she spun on her white tennis shoes, flipping her long white hair over her shoulder.

"Luca! Did you zone out again?" asked Susume, looking at her friend cautiously with her bright green eyes, wondering what the hell was on her mind for her to be zoning out like this.

"Yeah, um, sorry 'bout that. I just can't seem to keep my focus now 'n' days," she told Susume, just totally spacing out all over again. 'Why can't I keep my focus...? This is weird. Maybe I'm sick or something. I should probably go to Raja and see if he's got anything on it...'

"LUCA!!!!" Susume shouted in her ear.

"OW! What?!" the purple-eyed teen replied, rubbing her ears, trying desperately to get the ringing out of them.

"Jeez, Luca. You're completely ignoring me, aren't you?"

"I'm sorry, Susume. I don't know what's up with me. I'm going to go see Raja. Maybe I'm sick or something. I don't know..." she said walking off toward the old man's house to see what he had for her.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Raja's home and clinic was a rickety old hut that shook and moaned with each passing wind. It was threatened to collapse with every storm, but Luca was so zoned out that she nearly passed it without a second thought. Raja, who was sitting on his front porch, noticed this and brought her into the scant shelter of his house.

Raja was an old man and the best, but most shunned, medicine man in the entire village. Luca was one of the few who still went to the old guy for medications and check-ups. This old man treated her with good respect considering she was a Jonin. He understood what it was like to know very little about one self's own past and not knowing where you're from, either. He was also the only person she could rely on to help interpret her weird dreams and random flashbacks.

"So how are you, Luca? Your missions going along well?" Raja asked with his worn down voice, as if he'd been shouting orders for years; it had worn down his voice to permanent hoarseness.

"I think I'm sick or something. I can't seem to focus for the life of me, literally," Luca answered, concerned for once. "I always focus so well, but over the past couple of days I can't seem to keep my mind on a single thing for more than a minute. Krano-sensei must think I'm a twit," she said, starting to cry. "I'm so moody too! Why can't I just be myself?" she asked him as tears came out of her amethyst eyes.

"And I'm having these horrifying flashbacks, ones of blood filled fields, and, as I look at my hands, I see blood, oh the blood… It's everywhere. My nightmares seem to have drawn in my flashbacks as well, and they're steadily getting worse. Do you understand what's wrong with me?"

Raja sighed softly and hugged her. "My poor girl... I wish I could help you, but I have nothing to cure lost focus or nightmares and flashbacks. Ask Krano if you can take a vacation by yourself to another village. It'll do you some good. OH! I know! Go to the Village Hidden in the Leaves. They need some help there anyways, and it'll be good for you! And isn't it about time you head there anyways? You've got a challenge for you since you defeated the last tournament leader six months ago. A new tournament is coming up with the new Chonin exams, and you've been invited to fight the winner of the tournament," Raja said and looked at the crying girl. "Maybe you'll find out more about yourself while you're there. Maybe you'll just have some fun and see new places and make some new friends. I just know you'll enjoy it."
