Hey People! Let me start out by saying no, this is not my first fanfic. (People always say it's their first.) I've written a few others. They were all Inuyasha stories though… My sister got me hooked on naruto a year or two ago and I finally feel inspired to write some fanfics on this show. That and Inuyasha was starting to bore me. There's only soo many parings you can do with that show. I'm not giving up on the stories, just taking a break from them.
Anyway this isn't exactly a story but more of a Prologue for other stories I'm writing. I don't know of anyone whose done this before so let me explain; I'm making up a character and paring them with other naruto characters (off topic but does anyone know where Sai came from? Or did he just appear out of nowhere?). Now I know most people don't like OC (me included) but I've thought of a great background for this person that I will explain a little in this story so please read. Her name is Sayuri and here are the guys she's paired with:
SayuriXGarra- This is the first one I've thought of and garra is one of my favorite characters. I fell in love with him after I saw his past (plus he's soo adorable!).
Anyway sayuri's past will be knida like garra's and inuyasha's put together. This story specifically will probably take longer than the others because garra is completely clueless to what love is. It will span over four or five years so it will start during the Akutskie raid and after. Also, I think I'll make someone else like sayuri here. That's all I'm giving away for now.
SayuriXLee- I choose lee because he's my favorite naruto character. I saw a few episodes centered on him and my heart went out to the little guy. I know he's not one of the hottest naruto characters (I really don't consider him that hot myself) but he can be really cute sometimes (look for pics of lee on deviant art and you'll see. I think he looks especially kawaii when his jumpsuit is all black. Plus, if you think about it, lee works out three times as much as anyone else so he's gotta have some nice abs and muscles under all that green. (Sigh), I don't know why they never show it on naruto.
Anyway in this story sayuri will have a HUGE secret (not like the one in the garra story. Different secret) that she can't tell but someone finds out (I think I'll make her act a little perverted in this story too. Just to see lee's reaction). Sasuke will also play a main role in this story. He is, unfortunately, a major asset (more like asshole) in the plot. I'm not a Sasuke fan (in case you haven't noticed already) so don't expect anything good to come out of him. Yes, I know he can be very hott sometimes but his personality and attitude just ruin it for me. Although…. now I have a sudden urge to write a sayuriXsasuke story Where they start out hating each other but slowly become friends then more.
SayuriXNeji: I just recently started liking this character so I thought 'what the hell' I'll add him too (plus he's kinda cute!). This story will probably be a little harder to write (so it might take longer) because I consider neji a complex character. His thought process is very logical and deep.
Anyway in this story sayuri will have the same past as the story with garra but with a twist. She's undercover as a guy so no one will recognize her and figure out who or what she really is (damn, I gotta think of a different name for her now, any suggestions?). You can just imagine all the funny things that happen because of this. Plus this relationship will be somewhat confusing since neji and everyone else (including the girls that will hit on her) think she's a guy.
I might do some other pairings with sayuri (like one where she's paired with naruto or kakashi. Of course she'll be older if she's paired with him) but these are the only one's I came up with so far. If I do, I'll update this prologue and tell everyone.
I'm also thinking of doing a yaoi paring (yes I'm a yaoi fangirl, and proud of it! GarraXLee and KakashiXIruka are my fav. NarutoXSasuke are my least fav only because I don't like sasuke). I don't know which pairing yet. That'll probably be later since I promised myself I'd do an Inuyasha yaoi pairing first. I'm not that big of a Yuri fan since I'm a girl myself but I've always wanted to write a yuri story. I just don't know what characters I'll use. I know I won't use sakura; she gets on my nerves (although I've heard she gets better in the shupidden series so...), or ino for the same reason. Maybe I'll make sayuri go with hinata or something, I don't know.
Well I think I've rambled on enough. Lets get started with the prologue, shall we:
p.s. - Sayuri's characteristics and appearance will most likely all come from my own person. It will make the stories and the character a little easier for me to write since I'm writing about how I would act, if that makes any sense to anyone. And no I'm not some crazy fan girl who dreams of being married to one of them or something! (Plus I'm 18 so…I think that that would make me a pedophile if I did. I mean their cute and all but…. I think Kakashi's closer to my age anyway. Hotti alert.)I can't name all the characters or whatever special ninja thing their good at. I actually had to look up the characters background just to make these stories sound like they could happen in the series and to keep the characters in personality.
"..." Means speech
'...' Means thought.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Confucius.
Traveling.
Traveling by oneself can either be a gift or a curse.
Traveling alone, you have all the time to contemplate life and everything in between. It also means you have no one to share your thoughts and feelings with. I guess it depends on how you take it. I, on the other hand see it as a little of both. While I can't share any of my thoughts or feelings at least I won't be judged or looked down upon for them.
She walked along the dirt path, not knowing where exactly she was going with her thoughts.
'Curse, hah, I wish traveling alone was the only curse I had….life's a sadist.'
As the young ninja's thoughts became darker so did her reflection of her past.
"Why me?" she questioned aloud to the ever-listening forest.
'Why am I the one who has to bear this curse? What did I do to deserve this heavy burden?'
Pausing for a moment the young girl glazed over her surroundings before pulling a map out of her knapsack, double-checking to make sure she was on the right path before her thoughts consumed her once again.
'Did I do something wrong? Is this punishment for something I did?'
Staring up at the sky, as if all her answers would fall from heaven, she watched as a songbird flew away.
'Birds, so free. Not held back by limitations or worldly boundaries. Simply free….Or are they?'
' Are birds even truly free?'
The small bird landed in a nearby tree, ruffling its feathers before chirping its sing-song melody.
'Maybe birds have a secret too. Maybe they hide their restrictions to give hope to the rest of us. That we might someday reach this freedom that they express.'
Staring out at the long winding path ahead of her, the young girl gave out a sigh.
"I hope there's a village up ahead."
Life.
Do the choices and mistakes we make now affect our life in the future or is our future already set in stone?
Can we not change our destiny or are their higher beings looking down upon us, watching us as we fall.
'Damn, where am I? I hope I'm not lost again.'
Pulling out her map once again the young nin double-checked her route and surroundings.
'Well…at least I'm not lost like last time. This shitty sense of direction better not have come with the curse or I'm gonna be even more pissed!'
After what seemed like forever contemplating weather or not her un-redeeming qualities came from her burden or not she arrived at a small village.
"Now if I can just find a place to stay I'll be set."
Moments after this statement she heard a loud protest from her stomach.
'Maybe I should find something to eat first.'
"Lady Tsunade you called me."
A young woman came into the hokages office. Looking slightly nervous she settled into a chair, waiting for a response.
A regular office would be organized and well kept, having documents and treaties in their proper place. However, knowing the character of the present hokage, it was no surprise for one to walk in the office and find books and papers stacked in disarray.
"Yes I need you to bring a file of transfer for a ninja with the last name Yoshikawa."
With the akatsuki prowling near and orochimaru's plans still lingering the city of Konoha was becoming a hot spot for assignations and at emptive takeovers.
"Do we not have enough ninja already?"
"I'm afraid not. With most jounin already out on missions all we have left are a lot of young nin and I have a mission coming up that requires this ninja's special abilities…"
'She must still be worried about what orochimaru said the last time we encountered him. I wouldn't blame her though. With the threat of the akatsuki it doesn't make things any easier.'
Shizune stayed there in the office, stalling for time, still unsure of the current situation at hand.
"Plus I have another reason for this ninja's transfer here." Replied the sanine with a coy smile plastered on her face.
"And what would that be lady tsunade?"
"Oh, I'll let you figure that one out."
With that final sentence the hokage returned to her documents as a confused shizune left the office, dreading the files she was about to search through yet at the same time curious as to what this ninja could provide, and what other purposes did lady tsunade have for said person.
If sayuri sounds older than she is its because she is older. I consider the naruto characters age's around 12-13. Sayuri is 14 so she's going to sound nd act a little older. She'll still have her immature moments (who dosen't?) but her thought process will be alot more complex than the others around her.
Well that's all I'm going to write for now. I've come to the conclusion that writing short chapters motivates me more to update sooner than waiting and procrastinating just to write a ten-page chapter. I'll still probably only update once a month though (college, enough said), sorry. Plus I also think of extra details to add at the last minute so I like to wait before I post a chapter. Murphy's Law, after saying this though I'll probably think of something else to write or something I should have done. Oh well. Jaa
I'm off to perform my kabuki act.
(my pen name is sayuri like the girl from Memoirs of a Geisha…get it.)
Happy Haloween!
