Flutes –chapter one

…just before sunset Hokage's office…

Sarutobi sighed as he looked out the window at the village below him. I hope they get here soon, he thought to himself as he left his office and made his way home for the day.

…just before midnight at Konaha gates…

As the guards looked on in boredom out of the forest a dark figure emerged. He stood a good six feet tall and took a laid back stance. He wore a black suit style jacket that hangs open allowing his black silk tee shirt to be seen. On his legs a pair of well fitting black leather pants rests.

His hair is the color of a raven's wing and the straight locks are held up in a high pony tail the tip of which reaches just past his waist line. His tanned face is framed on either side by chin length bangs that seem to set off his onyx colored eyes.

On his right wrist a strange beaded bracelet hangs, the beads being yellow the rope they hang on being dark purple. He wears a pair of dark blue ninja sandals, on his right ankle a strange elongated holster sits just above his sandal, higher up on his right leg strapped to his right hip is a kunai holster.

Before the guards could question him a second figure emerged from the shadows. This figure turned out to be a women who's head just barely reached the man's shoulders. Her hair is a golden color with blond streaks running through it.

It is held in a low pony tail, with the end of her slightly curly locks just brushing the base of her neck. Her pale skinned face is highlighted by her short cropped bangs, which seems to make her dazzling sea blue eyes shin even more.

She wears a battle style kimono that hangs off her shoulders with the sleeves ending just above her elbows, and the kimono itself ending at mid thigh. Around her waist a multicolored bow rests (the bow on a kimono…cant remember the name), but instead of being tied in a bow at the back it is simply tied of with both ends of the bow trailing down just past her knees.

On her feet a pair of orange ninja sandals rest, above the right one an identical holster to the one the man wears rests. On her right thigh a kunai holster is strapped in place, and on her right wrist a beaded bracelet much like the man's is tied in place. The only noticeable differences being her beads are black red with an yellow rope.

Stepping up to the slightly stunned guards the woman hands them some papers. Looking over the papers the guards tell the two "Everything seems to be in order, you may enter Konaha."

With a nod from both the man and woman walk past the guards, who, catching a glimpse of their backs, gape like a pair of goldfish.

…8 am next morning Hokage's office…

Sarutobi had just sat down at his desk and was preparing to face the day's paperwork when his secretary stuck her head in the door. "Hokage-sama there are two people here who say you wished to speak with them--AHHHHHH!" she said as she suddenly found herself lifted into the air and moved out of the way.

Walking into the office the golden haired women stood in front of the Hokage's desk. The raven haired man sat the secretary aside and entered the room; closing the door at the now gaping secretary's face (she got a good look at their backs).

Sarutobi raised and eyebrow and said "To whom am I speaking?" The golden haired women pulled out a scroll and handed it to the Hokage. Stepping back she waited as he read over it.

Dear Hokage-sama,

As you have requested of the Uchiha Sect we have sent two of our finest shinobi to protect and raise the boy. Standing before you are Uchiha Yoshondo and Uchiha Alinia, two of the best shinobi the Sect has to offer. In fact, before you stand the famous Devil and Angel of the Uchiha Sect's ANBU, both of which have resigned from their previous posts requesting to be instated as jounin. They did in fact request this mission once they heard the details of it; do not let their silence fool you they are always aware of what is going on. They do speak on occasion, but mostly with those they see as family. May they serve you well, and know that if ever the need arises the Uchiha Sect stands firmly behind Konaha.

Uchiha Manda (ataraninja asks: Madara?) of the Uchiha Sect

As the Hokage finished reading he looked up at the two and Yoshondo spoke to him for the first time, although the Hokage thought it was a strange request "We request that one of the jounin vests be dark blue, the other is to be orange: each preferably with matching headbands." Alinia nodded her head in agreement of the request.

Sarutobi's jaw dropped slightly as the two stared at him expectantly. Shaking his head slightly, the elder Hokage rose from behind his desk and made his way over to a vault positioned on the wall. Opening it he pulled out one dark blue jounin vest and matching headband, and a second jounin vest and matching head band that he had had made jokingly years ago.

Walking over to the two he held out the vests and headbands. Yoshondo took the dark blue head band while Alinia took the orange; each tied their new headbands around their heads.

Surprising the Hokage, Alinia took both vests from him, sat on the floor, pulled out some needle and thread, and proceeded to sew the Uchiha crest onto the back of each vest. Once through, she stood up and handed Yoshondo the dark blue vest, while she put on the orange where it covered up the Uchiha crest on the back of her outfit. Yoshondo took off his jacket, folding it so the Uchiha crest on the back was not folded and put on his new vest.

Looking at the two, the Hokage said "I gladly accept you two as Konaha jounin, I expect you to do missions like other jounin as well as take care of him." Alinia nodded and Yoshondo spoke once more "Where is he?" Blinking the Hokage said, "I'm not sure, give me a second to look."

…small dock…

Sasuke sat staring into the water on the small dock that his father had taught him his first Katon jutsu on. Looking into the water for a moment an image flashed across the water, the image of the man he had looked up to, the man who had taken everything fro him, his older brother.

In a blind rage Sasuke got up and jumped into the water to fight his brother…or that's what he tried to do anyway. What he found was himself suspended in mid air, and the most prominent thing in his mind was that his collar was choking him.

Just then a small blond boy was walking by and looked out to the dock were he normally saw the other boy, the one he considered a friend. What he saw was what appeared to be a woman holding his friend in a 'threatening' manner over the water, said friend was turning slightly blue.

He also saw a man standing behind the woman on the dock. Making up his mind he rushed forward to 'protect' his friend and found himself 'captured' by the man who was looking at the struggling boy strangely as said boy yelled "LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

Yoshondo blinked down at the blond hurricane, as he had dubbed the boy flailing about in his arms. Looking over at Alinia, his eyes widened as he said "Put him down already A-chan, he's turning purple!"

Alinia blinked at Yoshondo then looked at the boy she held suspended over the water who was indeed turning purple. She quickly walked over to the shore line, followed by Yoshondo and his squirming bundle and dropped the child onto the grass. Yoshondo plopped the blond boy beside the now gasping Sasuke.

I know we have an unspoken friendship…but why did he try to help me? That's not enough of a reason to risk your life for someone…is it? Sasuke thought to himself looking over at the blond child as he fought to reclaim the air he had lost.

"What are you going to do to us?" the blonde boy questioned, somewhat fearfully as he looked up at the two towering adults. Both of which blinked at his statement, the female cocked her head to the side similar to what an animal would and looked at her companion.

Almost as if she had communicated with the man in a silent way he spoke up "It is impolite to ask someone their name without first giving yours." At this point Sasuke spoke up "It is also impolite to almost choke someone to death." At his words the woman blushed profusely causing the man to chuckle under his breath.

Sasuke finally sighed after a while realizing the two were not going to speak until they learned their names and said "I'm Uchiha Sasuke." He then looked at his blonde counter part who realizing what they wanted, gave them a big grin before saying "I'm Uzamaki Naruto and I'm gonna be Hokage someday!"

At this the women giggled causing the blonde to blush. The man nodded his head and said "I am Uchiha Yoshondo and this is.." before he could finish the women spoke up for the first time speaking in a quiet but cheerful voice "And I'm Uchiha Alinia."

Sasuke blinked at them and Naruto said "But how can you be Uchiha's I thought…" he trailed off looking at Sasuke nervously not wanting to bring up painful memories. Alinia gave them a small smile and said "We are from the Uchiha Sect, you see Naruto-kun," at which point Naruto blushed profusely. "When the Uchiha first set up in Konaha they had outstanding numbers. After a few years it was decided that a portion of the Uchiha clan would move out of Konaha and to a more remote area. Form there they could aid their village from the shadows, this allowed Konaha to lull many enemies into thinking they had more resources to draw upon than Konaha. Yoshondo and I are from this portion of the Uchiha clan, what is known as the Uchiha Sect."

Looking at the man Naruto said or tried to say, "But then Yoshi…yohona…" at his failed attempt at Yoshondo's name, Yoshondo laughed and said "Just call me Yo, for that mater you can call Alinia A."

Naruto nodded his head and said "That's a lot easier, Yo-san why did A-san attack Sasuke?" Yoshondo blinked at the boy and said "She wasn't attacking him; she just thought he was trying to hurt himself and wanted to keep him from doing that."

At these words, Naruto got a very confused look on his young face and asked "Why would anyone do that?" With a sigh Alinia answered his question "Sometimes Naruto when a person is hurting on the inside really bad, they hurt themselves on the outside so they don't have to think about the pain on the inside."

Sitting down to Sasuke's right she said "I hope neither of you ever do that, it would hurt me very much." Naruto looked at her and asked "Why? No one ever cares about what happens to me…" he trailed off. Sasuke frowned as he looked over at the other boy asking what was on his mind "What about your family?"

Naruto looked down at his feet and mumbled in a sad voice "I never had a family; I've always been an orphan. Then the orphanage kicked me out so I'll never have one now."

At his heart wrenching words Yoshondo took a seat to Naruto's left. With the adults on either side and the two small boys in the middle, Alinia sighed.

Naruto and Sasuke looked over at her, neither one of them expecting her to tell them of her past. "I too was born an orphan, Naruto-kun. My mother died before I was born, the doctors delivered me from her dead body. My father, they would always tell me, had died in a battle."

She looked up at the sky as she continued "I was born into the land of Mist, a place were unwanted children are sent to a place called the Shinobi Factory. There, we were taught form the moment we can walk to be shinobi, whether we want to be one or not. So many horrible things happened their…neither of you are ready for me to tell you of them so I will move on."

"I was about your ages when I finally escaped, and made my run for the border and some form of freedom. Now, I had been trained in some of the more private jutsu of the Mist and thus they didn't just send anyone after me, they sent four ANBU Black Ops."

She stopped and looked over at Yoshondo who surprised the boys by telling them his tail. "I was born to one of the more…prestigious clans in the Uchiha Sect. I was raised to be a cold blooded killer from the day I was born. I had all the best teachers, and all the best things..this did not make me happy. When I was about 10 I was sent on a mission to the border of Mist."

With a grin he looked over at Alinia as he continued his story "That's where I saw the most unfortunate urchin I had ever seen. Her clothes were ragged and torn; she was pale and looked like she had been running for weeks none stop like the very hounds of hell were on her heels. Looking behind her, I had to believe that that was indeed true, as the four ANBU Black Ops chasing her were catching up to her fast."

With a smirk and a laugh he continued "I then proceeded to do something I had never done. Protocol said I should leave her to her fate, and move back to the camp…I ignored protocol. I jumped down put her on my back where she hung on for dear life and took off like a flash."

"That was the day I ran what should have been over an hour trip in less then 30 minutes. My squad captain was furious to say the least when I brought her into camp, I won't say what he said when he saw the ANBU on our tails. After he had dealt with the ANBU, he turned around and dealt with me and my passenger. And that is the story of how A-chan and I met."

Sasuke and Naruto's eyes had gotten as big as saucers when Naruto finally asked "What are ANBU?" causing Sasuke to nod his head his way of saying he wanted to know too, as both adults face planted. Alinia answered him saying "They are shinobi elite, only outranked by the Hokage."

Naruto looked at Sasuke and said "You can be the ANBU, I'm gonna be the Hokage." Sasuke cocked his head mimicking Alinia and said to the shock of both adults who were expecting something about getting revenge on his brother "That's cool."

"Ohhhhkay, now one question," said Yoshondo looking over at Alinia who cocked her head at him in question "It's doom day isn't it? Cause you never talk that much." Which earned him a scowl as she reached down to the strange holster on her right ankle.

Opening it she pulled out an intricate looking black flute, if you look closely you can see what appears to be ancient writing inscribed on it. This writing also seems to be on the beads of her bracelet. As she lifted the instrument to her lips the air was filled with a hauntingly beautiful melody.

What surprised the boys even more was when Yoshondo took out a similar but white flute from his holster and joined her. And for the first time both boys felt safe as they listened to the music that seemed to leap from the fingers of both adults.

All across Konaha people stopped what they were doing as a strange wind blew through the village carrying the melody on it. The four of them sat there like that until the sun reached its peak (that's noon for those who don't know). As the two finished their melody, and placed their flutes in their holsters.

Alinia climbed to her feet and looked down at Naruto asking "Naruto-kun would you like to live in the Uchiha compound with Yoshondo, Sasuke, and myself?" The blonde's eyes got so big they shouldn't have fit on his face as he said in a slightly shocked voice "Why would you do that A-san?"

Alinia smiled down at him and said "Because you need me to." These words caused the small blonde to tear up and Yoshondo decided to break the silence by adding his two cents "That, and she probably has never seen another shinobi, or in this case shinobi wannabe that likes orange as much as she does."

Hearing these words Naruto and Sasuke blinked and for the first time noticed her bright orange vest. Getting a serious look on his face Naruto asked her "How good are you at hiding?" Knowing what he meant the older blonde smirked and said "I'm the best stealth expert in all of the Uchiha Sect, and no I don't take off my orange for my missions."

This caused Naruto to pump his fist in the air saying "I told them orange didn't scream: here I am kill me!" Alinia blinked and smirked down at him saying "If you want to keep wearing orange and be a good shinobi I'm gonna have to teach ya a thing or two." Naruto blinked at her before yelling "REALLY?"

Alinia smirked and said "REALLY! REALLY!" Yoshondo rolled his eyes and looked down at the scowling Sasuke before saying "The shouting thing grows on you, or you at least get used to it…or do you lose hearing… I can never be sure." This caused Sasuke to blink up at the older black haired man and said "I was afraid of that."

Looking over at the almost giddy blondes Yoshondo got their attention by saying "We should go get something to eat, I'm getting hungry." Alinia looked over at him and said "I wonder if they have any good ramen stands," which caused Yoshondo to roll his eyes and Naruto to get excited.

End:

Okay so there you go, you will learn more about the Uchiha Sect as well as Yoshondo and Alinia as the story proceeds. Feel free to ask me questions, but I might not be able to answer all of them in order not to give away the plot. Hum the flutes and bracelets? Yeah can't tell you yet, and don't worry the name does have meaning…just might take awhile before it becomes obvious.

Any new names I made up…I will give a cookie to whom ever can guess were the idea for Yoshondo's image came from…a hint you ask?...Yo, that's all I'm saying. Please don't forget to review -.

From my beta Atara: ehhh? Oh well, I don't know about the names but OMG! They're like twins!!! It's so beautiful! (p.s. you know you didn't say what color Alinia's kimono was.)

HNN:…its white

From my other beta Blue Bunny2:
