I didn't like how the other Authoress in training was, so I'm redoing the entire thing. Its a better (and longer) I hope.

Enjoy!

I don't own Naruto

A girl sat in her room, just staring out the window. A distant look adorned her face as she listened to her father yell at her brother in the other room. She vaguely wondered when he would call her out of her room to yell at her. How she longed to ring that man's neck for all the pained he caused her and her family. 'I wish I could get away from this two-faced bastard. I want to leave, please, if there is a god, please just take me away from this man. I don't want to suffer anymore.' She silently cried in her mind. Fog covered the window a moment later surprising the girl. Then words began appearing, 'If you want to leave circle your answer: Yes or No.' the girl stared at the window before glancing at her door after she heard her father yell her name. Walking up to the window quickly she circled yes; hoping beyond hope that she would get away from her father. Light blinded her suddenly. When it died down, the girl looked around seeing a pale blue office. It was small but looked efficient. To her left were two wooden chairs with padded seats that were a dark blue color. To her right was a large oak desk that took up most of the room. Behind it stood a tall man with messy red hair, grass green eyes, and freckles splattered on his face. He had tan skin, rather lanky; he wore a white button up dress shirt with a couple of buttons undone at the top, faded blue jeans and a tie slung over his shoulder. The man was looking at a file; it wasn't too thick, nor was it to thin. He looked up and regarded the girl in front of him, "Hello Caitlin."

Caitlin narrowed her eyes at the man, "Who are you?" she demanded.

"I'm a God of sorts, but you can call me Caden," he replied boredly while going back to the file.

Caitlin looked at the man, stunned; "H-how?" she asked taking a fearful step back.

Caden looked up at her and grinned, "Now, now, we are here about you Caitlin, not me."

He stared at her; she wore an oversized t-shirt that did little to hide her huge chest, which she tries so hard to hide, gym shorts that go to her knees, she wore no shoes or socks considering she was just in her room. Her dark brown hair pulled into a low ponytail, if it was down, her hair would reach to just below her shoulders. Her murky brown eyes are dim with all the hurt her father caused her. Caitlin's skin is almost as pale as a ghost is, since she rarely ever left her house. "You wanted to get away from your father, I am granting that wish."

"Really, w-where are you sending me?" Caitlin asked excitedly at hearing that her wish is becoming true.

Caden walked around the desk and put his arm around her shoulders, "Follow me young Authoress. Oh, and before I forget, take this, you'll need it."

A small black pocket book appeared in his free hand and held it toward her as they entered the hallway. Caitlin took it and stared at the book, 'Guide Book: How to Be an Author/Authoress of Fan Fiction', "What's an Authoress Caden? And why did you call me one?" she asked tilting her head to the side.

Caden looked peered down at her, "Well, you have an overactive imagination and what better place than the worlds that you feel most comfortable in, say Naruto, for instance, to exercise it," he told her grinning, flashing his shiny white teeth.

Caitlin's eyes seemed to brighten at the mention of this, but it fled as soon as it appeared. Caden frowned, "What's wrong?"

Caitlin smiled and shook her head, but her eyes betrayed what she truly felt.

"You're worried about something. What is it?" he pressed further as the two continued down the hall.

"I-I, how long would I stay there before I have to…" Caitlin didn't seem to be able to finish, not that she had to.

"For as long as you want, now, any other questions will be answered by the book I gave you. I'm very busy so I'm just going to escort you to the door, which is right here." He said coming to a halt. Caitlin looked at the door and stepped towards it hesitantly before gripping the doorknob and swinging it open. She stood there, amazed by the bird's eye view of the leaf village. Before she could turn around and look at Caden, a large yet gentle hand pushed her into the Naruverse. Caden closed the door, "Have fun young Authoress, now on to the next one."

Caitlin not used to falling and just learned about being an Authoress, didn't know that she could fly. She also failed to notice that her body began to shrink. Caitlin closed her eyes tightly and held her breath, wanting the fall to end and not get hurt. She felt sharp pain as she crashed through some trees and splashed into a river.

A blond boy wearing a white t-shirt with a red swirl on the front, black pants, and black ninja shoes adorned his feet; who was sitting near by and was caught off guard as he heard a splash. Looking at the river warily, he noticed what looked like a girl being dragged down by the river. He stood there frozen for a minute, thinking what he should do. He decided that he would help her, and jumped into the river.

Caitlin wasn't a very good swimmer, she could keep her head above water but that was about it. The river was very cold and she couldn't think. Looking towards the surface, feeling the darkness begin to take over, Caitlin saw a silhouette of a person swimming towards her. She reached out with her hand towards them. The person grabbed hers as she fell unconscious due to lack of air.

The boy swam back to the surface with the girl in tow. When he broke the surface, he swam as fast as he could to the shore. The girl coughed up some water but remained unconscious. As he dragged her out of the water, he racked his brain on what to do in this kind of situation. 'Come on Naruto think!' He suddenly remembered and checked the girl to see if she was breathing and/or if her heart had stopped beating. Naruto laid his head on her chest where her heart is supposed to be. Nodding to himself after hearing the heart beating, he checked to see if she was breathing. Naruto sighed in relief, the girl was still breathing.

Naruto managed to get the girl on his back and took off towards the hospital. When he reached it, the third hokage was walking out of the door. The old man stopped Naruto by stepping in front of him. "What's going on Naruto, and who is that?" he questioned.

"I don't know; she fell out of the sky, into the river, and I bringing her here to make sure she's okay!" Naruto exclaimed, annoyed that he had to stop. He was worried about the girl.

Nodding at Naruto, the third hokage reentered the hospital and had a nurse get a doctor to look at the girl to see if she was okay. The nurse lead the two to a room and Naruto was instructed to lay the girl on the bed. Doing as he was told, Naruto gently laid the girl on the bed. A second nurse walked in with a set of clothes and a hospital gown. She gave Naruto the clothes and told him to go to the connected bathroom to change into something dry. The third hokage turned around and faced out the window as the two nurses undressed the girl and put the hospital gown on. When they were done, Naruto came out the bathroom holding his wet clothes, dressed in plain white t-shirt and a pair of black shorts. One of the nurses took his clothes and left the other following. As soon as they left, a doctor entered the room. He got to work immediately, checking everything that he needed to. When he was done with the check up, he glanced at the hokage, "She'll be fine after a little rest. She should come to in about an hour or so." With that, the doctor took his leave.

Naruto smiled in relief, "She's alright."

The third hokage chuckled and ruffled Naruto's hair, "You did a good thing Naruto, I'm proud of you." Naruto beamed at the old man and grinned, giving him a thumbs-up. "Now it's time to go to the academy Naruto," Sarutobi added, making Naruto shake his head vigorously.

"No! I want to be here when she wakes up!" he declared.

Hour or so later:

Naruto waited in the chair next to the strange girl's bed, wondering who she was and how she fell from the sky. He was lost in thought until a soft groan got his attention. The third hokage, who decided to stay as well, watched as the girl groan and slowly sit up. They watched her as sat up with her hands covering her eyes because of the unnecessary bight lights.

"You're awake!" shouted Naruto, causing her to jump and stare wide eyed at him. The two both notice fear flash in her eyes as she stared at them. After a few seconds she seemed to relax but not completely.

"It's good to see you're awake," Sarutobi said to her.

Caitlin stared at two in front of her. She knew who they were but didn't understand a single word they said. "Um do you, um," Caitlin tried to say, having difficulty speaking correctly; she looked at the third hokage pleading, frustrated that she couldn't speak. He seemed surprised for a moment but shook it off as he gripped his pipe in thought. Caitlin failed to notice the blond boy getting on the bed until he was sitting in front of her. She looked at his sparkling blue eyes and bright yellow hair. She had a sudden urge to touch his hair. Ignoring the feeling in her gut (something she rarely did) that said don't do it, Caitlin got on her knees with both other people watching her. She leaned over and ran her fingers through his hair, "Soft and tangue free," she said absentmindedly.

Naruto was a shocked that the girl spoke another language and now even more shocked that she was feeling his hair. He heard her say something in her language, then she pulled away after realizing what she was doing. Getting over the girl's weirdness, Naruto pointed at himself, getting her attention. "Naruto Uzumaki."

"Narruto Uzamki?" she replied pointing at him.

Naruto frowned, "Nar-u-to U-zu-ma-ki."

"Naruto Uzumaki?" she said again pronouncing it slowly. She smiled when Naruto nodded his head. Saying names weren't too bad, at least she could manage that. She then pointed to herself, "Cait-lin Bru-nelle."

Naruto nodded, "Caitren Brunerre."

He watched as the girl say her name again, but made emphasis on a sound after the't' sound. He tried to do the sound but fail. Naruto felt bad, he couldn't pronounce her name.

Sarutobi watched as the two children in front of him exchange names. He found it quite interesting that Naruto figured out how to communicate to exchange names so quickly.

Caitlin frowned for a moment watching as Naruto failed at making the 'L' sound. Then she remembered the book that Caden gave her. She looked to the side and saw it on the dresser. She grabbed it and read the table of contents, but it was head to read the words and letters looked all jumbled together. She didn't know why. Then a knock was heard on the door.

Sarutobi tore his attention away from the children and stared at the door as a nurse lead a man with red hair, green eyes and freckles on his face. He wore sweatpants and a t-shirt and blue sandals. The man walked up the hokage and bowed slightly, "Hello Hokage-sama, my name is Caden."

"Hello Caden, what is it that you want?" he asked warily, staring at the newcomer.

"Caden!" the two men looked at the girl; she was standing on the bed, pointing at the red head.

Caden smiled and walked to her side and ruffled her hair, "Hey Katydid, I see you're having trouble here, correct?" he asked her gently, speaking in English so she would understand.

"How come um, um, I can't-"

"You can't speak properly because your body has reverted back to when you were six. But you still think like a fifteen year old, although some parts of your brain seem to have reverted back as well. Hence why you can't read," Caden said interrupting her. He turned to the Hokage again, "Please be considerate of her, and she grew up a place where she couldn't learn to speak properly, even in her own language. She gets frustrated easily because of this. Her name is Caitlin Brunelle, but you call her Cat for short."

"Alright, are you her father?" Sarutobi asked, looking between the two.

"No, I took her away from her father so she wouldn't get hurt anymore. But we got separated. After that, I don't know what happened to her. Until I saw the blond kid run by with her on his back," Caden replied putting his hands in his pockets.

"Cat-chan's dad hurt her? Isn't he supposed to love her" Naruto asked wide eyed at Caden.

"Unfortunately kid, her father did hurt her." Caden sighed and without looking at Sarutobi, "You wouldn't mind letting her live in the village would you? And join the Academy? I can't stay here with her for reasons I can not tell you."

Sarutobi gripped his pipe in thought. He was appalled that a man would hurt a girl as young as she. He also thought about how this man was leaving her here, by herself.

"Let her old man! Then she can learn to protect herself!" Naruto exclaimed standing up on the bed next to Caitlin.

"Alright, I will allow her to stay here, and join the academy, after she takes some tests and learns our language." Sarutobi said giving in.

Caden grinned, "I can help with that, I know a jutsu that will help her understand you and say words she already knows in her language. It'll help her learn to speak your language." Caden placed a hand on Caitlin's head and closed his eyes. After a moment he pulled his had away, "Can you understand what I'm saying Caitlin?"

She looked at Caden confused but nodded to him. The red head looked back to Sarutobi, "Now remember this Hokage-sama, she has trouble pronouncing things and it'll be a long time before she can fully speak."

Sarutobi nodded, "I will, don't worry. I'll see to it she is taken care of."

Caden smiled and rubbed Caitlin's head, "Be good now Katydid, work hard alright?"

He was surprised when she held her arms out like she wanted a hug, Caden embraced her.

"Wish you were my daddy," she said quietly with a bit of difficulty, but everyone heard it. She had only known this man a short time, but he gave off a fatherly feeling to her and she liked it very much, how she longed to have that kind of feeling. Her real father be damned to the deepest, darkest parts of hell and be brutally tortured.

Caden smiled and let go, "I would too if I were in your shoes. See ya later Katydid." With that, Caden left the room and disappeared.

Sarutobi looked back at Caitlin, do you understand now Cat?"

"Yes sir," she said almost automatically. She grinned, "I can, um, under-understand you."

"Alright!" Naruto yelled pumping his fist in the air. "Hey old man, when can she join the academy?" Naruto was jumping up and down on the bed causing Caitlin to fall on the bed.

Chuckling, Sarutobi helped Caitlin onto the floor, "She has some tests to take first, but before that, she needs somewhere to live."

"OH, I know she can live me; you won't would you Cat-chan?" Naruto offered excitedly.

Caitlin blinked, "Sure, if it's okay." The two children looked at the adult in the room. Sarutobi sighed, "Very well, Caitren will live with Naruto for as long as she chooses." Caitlin and Naruto both grinned at each other.

-Grins- I really like this version better!
