CH.1 New Kid In The Village.

I hung over the edge of the boat and stared sadly at the water crashing again the wall and then pass away. The farther we got the bluer the water turned; you could tell we'd soon be in the Fire Country's water, not the Snow's cool dark water anymore. I sighed and hid my face in my arms for a second but shot back up as I heard my mom yell at me.

" Amaya! I told you not to do that! " She hurried over to me and picked me up and placed me back down on the built in bench of the boat. " Honestly, you could have fallen off into the water!" She fussed with with my hair and adjusted the scarf that was around my neck before giving me a worried look, " Why can't you just sit still?"

I gave her an annoyed look for a second, then looked down at that scarf. It was my mom's scarf till this morning. My parents said that we were leaving for the Leaf Village, but I didn't want to so I said no and grabbed onto my bed post. But then mom sat next to me and said that I could finally have her scarf if I went. I always wanted her scarf! So I said yes... But now I'm seeing that this move was worth more than a scarf

"I don't want to move anymore... " I mumbled quietly, pulling the scarf up closer to my face in fear of my mom taking it back.

She frowned at me, " But Amaya we have to. There's-..." she paused for a moment, " We think it'll be better at the Leaf Village." She finally said.

I looked up at her," What if I don't make any friends? " I asked, worried of being alone.

" You will, Honey, I promise" She assured me as she rubbed my back.

" But what if I don't? And what if it's actually worse there!" I was close to crying and begging for us to go back.

She bit her lip and looked back at Dad. He avoided looking at me and just shook his head at my mom. He went back to looking at the front and pointed at the land that was starting to appear to a worker on the ship. Mom sighed at Dad and looked at me, " We'll see Amaya,alright?" she kissed my head before getting up and walking over to Dad.

I held my tongue knowing there was nothing I could say to change their minds. I wiped away at the tears in my eyes before they fell down and looked at the land. It did look nice, it had a lot more trees than the Snow. But I still didn't like it, I just wished that the land would somehow start backing away from the boat so we couldn't reach it. The land kept coming closer and growing bigger though.

Soon the boat started to shake as it landed at the docks, I just glared at the dirt and trees next to it. " Tch, stupid land.. Don't you know how to listen?" I growled at it. With no answer I jumped down from the bench and walked silently behind my parents as they got off the boat.

" Wow! This place is so pretty!" My mom commented, putting down her bag so she could look around. My dad nodded in agreement and I just played with my new scarf, making sure it wasn't touching the dirt.

" Hm, our guide should be here somewhere," Dad wondered to him self, " Ah,there he is! Hey! Over here!" he called out to them and waved them over here. " Amaya, please remember your manners." he quietly added to me before the man got to us.

I Just looked up at my dad for a second and nodded before I looked over to where my mom was coming up.

" Hiya there! So you're the new family moving to the Leaf huh!" the blond man said happily, " I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I'll be helping you on your way back to the village!" He introduced himself and shot out his hand to my dad.

" Yes that's us! We're the Shizuka Family," My dad answered with a smile and shook Naruto's hand, " I'm Kenta, this is my wife Hana and this is my daughter Amaya."

" It's nice to meet you, Naruto. " Mom greeted him with a sweet smile.

" It's nice to meet you too! " He smiled back at my mom and then looked at me. He crouched down to my level and grinned at me, " It's also nice to meet you, Amaya."

I held my breathe and took a step bad. I had no idea what to say, all I could do was pull my scarf up more and look away and nod.

His grin turned into an awkward one and said as he stood up, " Ehehe..Alright then.."

" Amaya,don't be rude! " My mom whispered to me then turned back to Naruto, " I'm so sorry, she's just not very happy about moving."

" Oh, I got ya," he replied sounding relieved. He looked back down at me, " Don't worry kid, the Leaf Village is a great place! And you'll make friends soon, I promise! Ya know, I got a daughter round your age too." He grinned at me as I stared up at him with a bit of doubt and wonder. " Welp,come on! We better get moving if we want to get back before dark!" he continued as he turned around.

" Right!" my dad replied as he followed the man, a bag hung over his shoulder.

My mother nodded in return, picking up her bag again and following after my dad, "Come on Amaya!" I hesitated a bit, looking back at the boat that was boarding new passengers. I frowned a bit and took a deep breath before following after them.

The whole time while we were walking to the village I couldn't help but stare at Naruto. His blond hair was really spiky and he had these weird lines on his face. he wore a black head band on his forehead above his blue eyes. He wore a black and orange jacket with a red symbol on the back, that I'm guessing was the Leaf Village symbol, and black pants.

He looked down at me,catching me staring at him, I quickly looked away and he just grinned. He slowed down his pace so then he was walking next to me. " I'm a ninja you know." he tried to say coolly as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.

I looked up at him in disbelief for a second. " Y-you are..?" I managed to mutter out. I've seen some ninjas at the Snow Village but they... never dressed the way he did.. The only thing that was the same was wearing a headband.

" Yep! I'm the strongest ninja in the Leaf! I'm going to be the Hokage soon!" he answered cheerfully.I raised an eyebrow at him, confused on what he was talking about.

" Oh, Hokage is the person in charge of the Leaf Village, Amaya. You'll be learning all about that when you go to school!" My dad said, clearing up my confusion.

" Oh, so you guys are..?" Naruto started but my mom answered before he could finish.
" Mhm. We're a shinobi family from the Snow." She smiled at him.

" Oh! That's awesome! I've been to the Snow before, it's a pretty looking place when it's not buried in snow!" he laughed and then turned his attention back to me, " So are you going to grow up to be a strong ninja, Amaya?"

I blinked at him and slowly looked down at my necklace. I grabbed it and ran my fingers across the cold surface of it, it was the stone that helped my family fight. My mom gave me hers and said that with it I can grow up to be brave and strong, it'll help me so I wont have to be afraid.

Naruto tilted his head questioningly at me. I didn't look back, I just continued to look at the dark blue stone. " I-I'll try." I finally answered quietly with a nod.

He grinned and patted my head, " I'm sure you will be."

By the time we had reached the village the sun was setting. We thanked Naruto and said bye to him after he helped us find our new home. By then it was dark and mom and dad said we should go to bed. The house already had furniture, so we had beds to sleep on, we just had to unpack our clothes and personal stuff tomorrow.

It was tough going to sleep though. I stayed up,sitting on my bed and looking out the window, while mom and dad were already asleep. I was just thinking about today and what I was going to do. The village was big, and had a lot more people than the Snow village, though they did look nice.. Was I really going to find friends here though? I'm not sure about that at all... And then I was also going to become a ninja in this village? For some reason that made me feel bad, it made me miss the Snow Village even more... I shook my head away from it though, since I couldn't just go back now. I sighed and wiped the gathering tears from my eyes. I pulled the covers over me and finally laid down, burring my face into my pillow and falling asleep.

A.N. Sorry I don't do much description of the character. I try to add them in naturally but most of the time I just end up forgetting or not creating a good chance too... I'll try to add more descriptions in the other chapters! So.. Thanks for reading! Tell me of any spelling or Grammar mistakes I missed!
