Hello people! Ok, I would like to put in a few notes before the story starts. First of all, I do not own anything Naruto related. Second, I would like to say that this is a fantasy story completely made up by me, so it really doesn't have much to do with the story or manga. Now, please enjoy!
Chapter one
Boy and girl
The village in the leaves was silent. The whole town was asleep. All but one baby boy, who was lying in his crib wide awake.
The blond hair on his head hung into his face, covering his electric blue eyes. The most noticeable feature on his face was the three whisker marks on each cheek.
This young baby was the only member of the village that had no spirit animal with him. Each member of the leaf village had their own spirit animal, which is the animal that their spirit takes the form of. The animal is with their person since the day they are born. All but this boy.
……………………………..
A small girl with short dark hair walked through the village. On her shoulder was a black cat, looking around with bright green eyes. The girl's pupiless, pale blue eyes looked to the right and saw something lurking in the shadows.
"Hinata-Chan, what is that?" the cat asked, turning its head and looking in the shadows.
"I think someone's in there." Said Hinata. She moved closer to the shadows and the figure jumped slightly.
"O-oh. Hinata-san, hello." Said the boy in the shadows. Hinata smiled when she got a better look at who she was talking too. The boy had spiked blond hair and electric blue eyes. On his cheeks were three whisker marks and on his forehead was a leaf shinobi headband. He lifted his hands and quickly and rubbed his eyes and cheeks. Hinata figured he was crying just a minute ago.
"Naruto-kun, are you ok?" Hinata asked kindly. Naruto stood up and walked next to her.
"Yeah." He mumbled, walking down the rode with her. The two thirteen year olds remained silent as they walked.
"Um…where's you're animal?" the cat asked. Naruto's face sunk.
"I…I don't have one." Naruto said. The cat looked surprised.
"I'm sorry. Do you know why?" the cat asked.
"Kawa-san, be quiet." Hinata said, jerking her shoulder upward, startling the cat.
"No I don't. My father won't even tell me why." Naruto said.
"Hinata-Chan, do you know why?" Kawa asked.
"If he doesn't, how would I?" Hinata asked. Naruto looked at the ground silently until Hinata spoke up again.
"Naruto-kun, do you feel alone?" she asked. He looked up at her, surprise etched on his features. He didn't say anything, but nodded none the less.
"It's because I don't have an animal. No one will even look at me because of it. It's like I'm a monster." He said. Hinata listened to every word he said as he explained more about his life.
"Naruto, come back home! It's time for dinner!" a man with long blond hair called out.
"That's my father. It's just me and him at home. Well, I'll see you Hinata-san!" Naruto waved as he ran to his father. His father was Minato Uzumaki, fourth Hokage of Konoha.
"Who was that?" he asked when Naruto ran up to him.
"Hyuuga Hinata. She's from the main branch you know." Naruto said, looking up at the older version if himself. Minato thought for a moment, looking at the shrinking figure of Hinata as she walked away.
"Well, come on, it's time for dinner." He said, turning around and heading for the door. Naruto nodded and followed, a bright smile spread on his face.
………………………
"a-ah! Neji-kun! Hello cousin." Hinata gasped when she ran through the door to see him standing right there. She nearly crashed into him. Her long haired cousin looked at her with piercing pale blue eyes.
"Where were you?" he asked. Before Hinata could answer a large hawk swooped out of nowhere and landed on Neji's shoulder.
"I was out in the town. Just looking around with Kawa-san." She explained.
"Yeah! We met a boy named Naruto-kun!" Kawa added. Hinata groaned and ducked when the hawk screeched loudly, its head jerking outward.
"You know you're not supposed to go near him. He's a monster." Neji said in a some what calm voice. Hinata's eyes widened.
"No he's not. He's very nice, and lonely." Hinata said.
"You do not know him very well then. Naruto has no spirit creature because he has such raw, untapped power that the creature could not leave his body, or Naruto will die. If Naruto losses control of it, a lot of people will die instead of him. You must stay away, or you could get hurt." Neji said harshly. Hinata gasped slightly and backed away from him. Her eyes flared slightly, and the cat on her shoulder bounded off and onto the ground, the hair on its back was raised. The hawk flew off.
"Kawa-san, you do not wish to do this!" the hawk said.
"Kawa, come." Hinata said, turning away and walking back to her room.
