1. So recently I've been on a Naruto story rampage & I've had this idea for awhile. I hope you guys like it too. This first chapter is basically showing some history of the main character and her friends. The next chapter will divulge into her life. Leave a review please!
"The same, reoccurring dream…"
She's running. But no matter how much she runs she can never get any closer to the people in front of her. She's inside her house but can't seem to reach the other end of the room. She calls out, but they can't hear her. Her sharp raspy voice is falling on deaf ears. Tears are flowing out of her eyes as she continues trying to catch up. It's no use.
"Mother!" She hollers to the woman in front of her. Her back is turned to her and there's a man standing in front of her with an evil look in his eyes. There's another man lying on the ground in front of her mother. He's out for blood, their blood. She doesn't know why he's doing this.
Another figure runs from behind her, "Grandmother no!" She yells trying to grab a hold of her grandmother's shirt. Her hand falls right through it. She trips and falls onto the ground. She looks up.
He's killing them. Their screams ring through her ears like nails on a chalk board. It's too much to handle so she presses her hands against her ears to get it to stop. It doesn't, it just gets louder and louder. The man looks at her, the same evil look in his eye. His eyes are dark and there's no feeling left in them.
She manages to stand up. Her body is shaking and her hands are suddenly in fists. When did she get so mad? She begins to feel her heart beat faster and soon she's surrounded by an increased amount of chakra. She looks up at the man who's changed his facial expression. He's smiling at her, pleased with what's happening.
"What's happening!?" Her voice echo's through the house. She looks down at her hands that have changed into the shape of white paws and claws. Her eyes grow wide. She begins to feel her entire body changing, "No!" She calls out to the man but he just stands there, "Noooo!"
She opens her eyes as the hints of red fade from her eyes and return to the steel color they usually are. It was that dream again. She's had it every night before the day of the anniversary. It always begins the same and ends the same. She reaches over at her alarm clock. It's only 6:30 in the morning. She looks up at the ceiling.
"He's out there. Coming for me." She says to herself as she sits up and looks over at her dresser. Pictures of her, her mother, her grandparents and her squad are all there.
She stares at the one of her and her mother. She looks just like her except for her hair. That she got from her father. Her deep red hair shined like blood when the moonlight or sunlight hit it. Her eyes were steel but had a twinkle that you could mistake for a diamond.
Flashback
"Do I really have to go to this school?" She stares up at her mother who's just smiling. Her blonde hair follows the winds direction.
"If you want to become a great ninja someday this is the place to start." She smiles at her daughter knowing the change for her has been hard.
She frowns, "I don't know anyone. What if they think I'm weird?" She asks as a flood of students begin pouring into the academy. Her mother laughs.
"And so what if they do? It's good to stick out sometimes. You don't want to be like everyone else do you?"
"But I'm not like everyone else mom, no one else has a-"
"Ahem." Her mother says sternly and begins to frown, "You promised never to speak about it." She kneels down beside the young girl, "Just be yourself. I'm sure there is someone in that school who would love to be friends with you."
End Flashback
She'll never forget that day. It was her first day of school at the academy for the Village Hidden in the Leaves. She had already been in the village for three years but had never gotten the chance to make close friends.
When she moved to the Leaf Village she moved in with her grandparents. They were the head of the Kobayashi Clan. Her mother was originally from this village as well. Their family was very close knit with another clan in the village. The Uchiha Clan. She was told of a younger Uchiha entering the academy but never knew who he was until the first day.
She glanced over at the photo that included the youngest Uchiha member, remembering when they first met.
Flashback
She walked into Iruka Umino's classroom and looked around. Everyone already knew eachother. There was talking amongst everyone and no one seemed to notice her walk in. She tried to make herself seem scarce when a figure grabbed a hold of her arm.
"Hey, you're that girl from the Kobayashi Clan right?" He asked as he held onto her. She looked at him. He had black hair with shimmers of blue and black eyes. She knew he looked familiar just couldn't figure out why.
"Uh..yeah." She answered finally as he let go of her. She placed her hand there rubbing it slightly. He put his hand out.
"I'm Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha. Nice to finally meet you." He smiled at her as she reached for his extended hand.
She smiled back getting a warm feeling inside her, "I'm Kat." She announced. So far her first day was going well.
"Want to come sit next to me? I have an open seat."
"Yeah, okay. Thank you!" She exclaimed as he led her to his table.
End Flashback
She shook her head. Those days of friendship had been gone for about five years. It was sad to know the sweet little boy she once knew turned into a monster. He was on a mission for power, leaving not only her but the rest of their squad behind. Her squad was made up of four students instead of three due to the odd number of students that year.
She held the picture of her and her three friends in her hands. It felt like yesterday that they had taken this picture or that she had even become friends with some of them. One of them in particular she had become especially close with. He had been gone for three and a half years training with one of the Sannin and was expected to return to the village soon.
Flashback
It was lunchtime. She couldn't find Sasuke anywhere so decided to eat by herself. As she made her way outside a group of kids were standing around talking, "I hear he's a beast. He has a monster inside of him." One of them whispered loud enough so she could hear.
She glanced at them, "My parents said not to talk to him." Another kid said. Who was it they were talking about? She looked around and saw a small, blonde haired boy sitting alone on a swing under a tree.
Was that the kid they were talking about? He didn't look like whatever they were saying. Then again, neither did she. He looked lonely. Like he needed a friend. She took a deep breath and headed over there. All the other kids heads turned, watching her make her move.
"Is this spot taken?" She asked smiling as the young boy looked up at her. He was crying, "Wh-Why are you crying?"
He sniffled and pushed away tears with his arm, "Everybody hates me." He cried as she frowned. She sat herself down next to him and took out her lunch. He watched her.
"Here, have some of my lunch. It looks like you forgot yours." She handed him a few rice balls that her mother had sent her with. He took them, eating them slowly.
"These are pretty good." He stated as he continued munching away on them. The tears stopped and a small smile appeared on his face.
"Thank my mom for that." She laughed, "My name is Kat."
He smirked, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki."
End Flashback
They were her first two real friends. As for the other girl in the photo. They didn't become friends until being put into the squad together. It was rough at first, but after awhile they began to click and shortly after became good friends. Their squad leader's name was Kakashi Hatake. A former member of the Anbu Black Ops. She had become close with him through the years, confiding in him about her secret and her life in general. He was looked upon as an older brother.
As the sun came up she looked outside. Businesses were opening for the day which meant she needed to get moving. She pulled on her black shorts that hugged her upper thighs tightly. On her right thigh there was a small leg wrap that held her Shuriken bag. She put on her shirt next. It was black but the trims were all red. The sleeves came down just to her elbows and it hung comfortable on her waist. It came down to her bellybutton, forming a 'V' shape and hugged her upper body. Underneath it was a body wrap covering her chest and her abdomen, however only the chest part is visible. Her Kunai bag sat on her back right pocket. She wore a glove on her right hand but not on her left. She had a type of fishnet material that came just below her knee caps and her shoes rose right above her ankles.
She tied her hair up in a high ponytail but let the sides of her bangs hang out. She picked up her head band and stared it. Her mother, grandmother and grandfather all had one of these and she was proud to be following in their footsteps.
She placed it on her forehead and tied it tightly in the back. Looking at herself in the mirror, "Today, we're one step closer." She turned from the mirror and headed out the door.
Her name is Katsu Kobayashi, Kat for short. She's 17 and a Hidden Leaf Village Chunin. She's the last person in her clan that is still alive. This is her story.
