THUD
"Ha, is our 'supposed' future queen really this weak?" A sneering male hissed as he wiped blood from his fist. "So it would seem son. I still do not understand why that old coot of an elder keeps saying to treat this monstrosity nicely." An older male that looks similar to the first responded as he kicks the youngster in the gut.
"Heh I think I know how to treat her nicely pops. Why not show her the nice embrace of death?"
The father looked at his progeny for a minute before smirking. "Why son I do believe that you might be on to something there. In fact once she is dead we can shred her body up enough to look like some dire wolves got a hold of her after she up and ran off again. Once we do that we can go kill a pack of the beasts, wipe their scent all over her and her blood scent and blood on their claws and teeth then take the lot of them to the old man. Saying something along the lines of that she had run off into the forest again and we went after her like normal only to come across the hungry pack having already killed her and about to eat her. That we were so enraged that we killed the pack in revenge for her death and brought them to him as soon as we could."
"Nice. I like that one. Let's go with it." The adolescent replied. The boys' father grinned maliciously, nodded, and turned to head off into the thick mountainous woods east of their village where the dens of the dire wolves were hidden. The adolescent picked up the unconscious little girl and followed his sire to start their heinous plan.
-Time lapse-
Muffled cries of a little 4 year old girl could be heard deep in the forest as the two males cut and sliced at the female's body making sure to make it look like claw and teeth marks of the wolves. They were about to give the killing blow when a harsh wind blew making the trees thrash about. The duo looked up to see dark clouds with a swirling vortex right above them making both go white as a sheet and bolt back home completely forgetting the youngling they were going to kill.
The young child barely manages to reach up a hand towards the vortex. The winds making it impossible to discern what the girl whispered between pained sobs to the point only the deities heard her sad cries. "Please, just finish it. I don't want to be in pain anymore. I don't want to be alone." Unbeknownst to her the Fates heard her cried pleas and swept the child up into the vortex; with it disappearing right after as if it was never even there.
-Time lapse-
"Wake up young one." A soothing voice whispered.
"Uhg, huh? Where am I?" The little one woke up to a plain of nothing but grey all around. "What is this place?" The sky was grey; the ground was grey as far as the eye could see. She looked around and finding nothing but more grey she turned back around and bumped into what felt like a wall and falls down on her bum. A chuckle was heard from the wall and she looks up then flinches. "Eep, sorry mister I didn't mean to bump into you. Please don't hurt me."
The man was lean and tall, roughly 6' 9" with broad shoulders and a lean waist. He had smooth brown hair that was sort of shaggy so it pointed every which way. He also had a refined face with gentle pale steel blue eyes that seemed to look into a persons' very soul. He was dressed in soft white flowing robes made of silk with a light grey belt that had a silver buckle at his waist.
He knelt down and gently lifted her face up by her chin so she looked at him. "You have no need to fear me little one." She gulps and asks. "Why am I not hurt anymore and who are you sir? If you don't mind me asking that is." "We healed you and as for me; I go by many names young one but you may call me Kami." The little female's jaw dropped and she sputtered. "So does that mean I really am dead?" "No little one you are not. We deities felt that what most of the people in the village were doing to our chosen guardian just would not do any longer so we brought you here. I am here in front of you to ask you if you would like to go to another place and time; a different dimension where you can find true friends and true love as well. Would you like that little one?" The girl squeals in joy and hugs him. "Oh yes, yes, yes! I would love to Mr. Kami sir."
Kami laughs and hugs the child back while standing back up with her in his arms. "Alright little one lets go and get you set to go to your new home." "Yeah!" "But first we need to teach you about the place you are going to and train you in their ways." "Awe, ok then, but only if I have too. I just hope it doesn't take too long." The man chuckles and starts walking. "Time, you will find young guardian, is a very strange thing indeed."
-Time lapse-
"Are you ready little one?" Kami asked the female who was now in her late teens. "Yes Kami-sama, I am just about finished sealing all my stuff away. I'll just need to say goodbye to the others afterwards then I will be ready." "Very well then. We will see you by the portal." Kami replies and walks away.
-Time lapse-
Everyone was chattering by the portal about the girl that has stayed with them these past 14 years in human calendar time. Steps were heard entering the room and they turned to the new comer who was messing with her shoulder bag strap from being nervous. "Well, I guess this is it huh? Time for me to start my new life." The teen says before she walks by saying her goodbyes to everyone until she comes to stand in front of Kami by the portal.
"Thank you for everything Kami-sama." She hugs the man. "You are very welcome my child. But there is one last thing I need to tell you before you go." "What is that sir?" "When you pass through the portal you will go back to your 4 year old form just with your current clothes downsized and all your possessions with you. You will also keep all of your experience and memories you have from here intact so you will be able to protect yourself and those who will come to be dear to you." "Oh joy me having to go through puberty again. Not." She rolls her eyes and sighs in exaggeration. "One other thing little one; please for all our sakes remember your training." "I will Kami-sama." The teen gives him one last hug before stepping back and faces everyone with misty eyes. "Thank you everyone for all you have done for me. I will always remember my time with each of you and will always cherish it."
The girl steps through the portal and feels like she is falling while her body changes back to her younger self. She lands softly on the ground breathing in the scent of the surroundings and looks around. 'Well, looks like I'm finally here.' She thought to herself as she yawns. She sees a sturdy tree with big roots and toddles over to them and falls asleep.
-Time lapse-
"GET BACK HERE YOU DEMON!" A man leading a mob chasing a little boy yells.
"YA'LL ARE JUST GONNA BEAT ME AGAIN IF I STOP SO NO WAY IN HELL YOU JERK!" The young whiskered blond screams back as he dashes around like crazy looking for a hiding spot. Finally after a couple of hours he comes to a forest with a high fence around it and he, not thinking twice about it, climbs over the fence and continues into the forest a bit then stops for a breather against some big roots of an old tree while listening as the mob comes to a stop at the fence.
"He went into the Forest of Death." One guy said. "That place is dangerous." A woman whimpers. "That's why they call it the Forest of Death, baka." Another male replies. "Well I for one am so not going in there. I prefer to stay alive; thank you very much." A snooty female says shakily while trying to keep face in front of her peers. There were a lot of murmurs of agreement as the mob started to disperse. "Well whatever." The first guy shrugs. "He is as good as dead in there anyways. Saves us the trouble. Good riddance." He spits and heads home.
The blonde leans against the tree roots and wipes his forehead with the back of his hand. "Whew, I made it. I was beginning to think I would never lose that mob of teme's for a minute there." He slides down till he is seating on the ground while leaning back on the root. "Man I hate my birthday. What makes them hate me so bad? What did I ever do to them?" He mumbled to himself till he heard some rustling right next to him and freezes.
"Mmm, what's with all the noise?" A small feminine voice mumbles which makes the boy quickly turn around scared stiff until he notices that the voice came from a little girl who was currently rubbing sleep from her eyes as she yawns cutely causing a light blush to show across his cheeks. The girl finally looks up and studies a young blonde boy.
The boy was filthy but she could see past the dirt to see what he looked like underneath all the grime. He had bright golden sun blonde hair, eyes that were a more vibrant blue than the sky or sea, six whisker marks on his cheeks with three being on each side, a short slim build most likely from malnourishment, and clothes that were soiled and shredded to the point of nearly falling off with old and new wounds showing through the rags.
'Poor kid. He has had a rough start to his life.' After she finishes her study of him; she says. "You're cute; what's your name? My name is Tsuki. Ryuujin Tsuki." He sputters and blushes some more and replies. "Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto." As he told her his name only one shocked thought prevailed through his mind. 'I can't believe that she thinks I'm cute.' She giggles. "Nice name. It means maelstrom vortex right?" "Yeah that's right." "My name means moon dragon." He blinks. "Cool. But uhm, if you don't mine me asking, where are your parents and why are you here in the forest?" "I don't have any parents. I wondered into this place and got lost. I guess I fell asleep without realizing it." "Oh, sorry for bringing up any bad memories." He rubs the back of his head sheepishly. "That's alright; I lost them when I was very young so I don't really remember them." "Oh." He says dejectedly. She perks up and says. "Hey, wanna be friends? Then we can help each other out." "Really? You want to be friends with me?" "Yepper." She grins causing him to grin as well. "Sweet. I GOT MY FIRST FRIEND!" He jumps up and grabs her hands and spins around with her laughing.
"Ha ha ha. Ok enough, enough, stop before I puke. He he." She says good naturedly. "Awe ok. So what do you want to do? The villagers are probably still looking for me so we can't go back to the village tonight. I hate getting bullied and beaten by them. I don't know why they beat me and the worst day they do it is on my birthday which is today. I'm sick and tired of being weak. I wish I could get them to recognize me, respect me, treat me as a somebody, and stop beating me for reasons unknown to me. What's worse is that most of them hate my guts. Only Hokage Jiji and a couple of others are nice to me or at least tolerate me." He rants.
He continues to mumble until she pokes him to get his attention. "Yeah?" "Here is some advice. Don't let them get you down. You're sweet and kind. I can see a lot of potential in you. Would you like it if I trained you? So you can get stronger to protect your precious people and be able to defend yourself." His eyes light up at the prospect of being able to actually learn, train, and get stronger. "Would you really help me get stronger? THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY AWESOME!" He exclaims waving his arms about as she nods her head yes. "Now Naruto, this will not be easy. Are you sure you want to do this?" "Yes I'm sure Tsuki. Bring it on and ill finish everything you throw at me. BELIEVE IT!" "He he, I believe you. Ok first if I am to help you train we have to set up a regime for you to work with and increase what you do as we get further through it. So this is what we are going to do." They get paper out and start making outlines for training while whispering any ideas that come to mind till they finally finish it. "Now time to get started. First up, running 100 laps around the forest perimeter." "Awe man so many right off the bat?" "I SAID MOVE IT!" She yells as she surprisingly brings out a whip and snaps it near him making the boy jump. "You told me that you would complete anything I toss at you now PROVE IT! She snaps her whip again. "YIKES, ok ok ok. I'm going." He says as he starts running around the forest.
And so begins the new lives and friendship of two orphans who push each other to become the best they can be and maybe will find something else along the way.
