The rain beat down hard on the buildings of Minato. Skyscrapers waned, threatening to fall under pressure of the roaring winds. It cascaded on the citizens of the ward like a wave, forcing schoolstudents to clutch tighter to their raincoats and rendered their umbrella's useless. Minato was a sucessfull ward of Tokyo, and housed a primarilly rich community. It was best known for the prestigiuos Konoha Academy. Just attending it would cost most students an arm and a leg. Being able to keep up with the academy regulations and acedemic standards was another thing that narrowed it down to the richest and smartest of all.

Seeming oblivious to the expectations of the prim and proper the ward, a blonde girl tore through the rain, her blonde hair had turned a shade of brown, weighed down by the rain. It hung to her midback and streams of water flowed from the ends. She squinted through the rain and a small curse rang from her lips, lost in the howling rain.

"Some school year this is going to be," She wined. "Stupid rain. What happened to cherry blossoms! What happened to my romantic enterance to Konoha Deshine!"

Her whining was lost on the weather, which only seemed to pound harder in response. Deciding to screw it, and wait untill the rain calmed down, she veered left, away from the street leading to her school, and headed towards the park. She plunged through muddy barkamolch and into a play-tunnel. She figured it would work. Climbing into the tube that was made for five year olds and not someone 15 like her, she curled up and hugged her knees to her chest.

After a few minutes she pulled out her cellphone. Yeah, she sighed, she was missing the enterance ceremony. And when she did show up she would be scolded and told to change into her gym uniform. Great. Her first day... ruined. Just when she was hopping to improve her reputation.

CRACK!

A loud popping sound filled the air. Her head shot up so fast she ended up hitting it on the top of the tube, "Ita! Stupid tube!" She poked her head out of the tube. "Stupid kids. Who's doing fireworks in a park this early! Deshine!"

But when she peared out she didn't hear any kids or even see anything at first. A faint charred smell did come to her nose though. Then her eyes narrowed on an orange and green lump in the mud not too far away. Deciding to check it out despite the rain, she began sneaking towards it at first, but then split into a run when she noticed what it was.

"Oi! Mister! Are you ok!"

It was a boy, who couldn't have been much older than her. His blonde hair was muddy, his strange orange jumpsuit was matted in rips and tears. When she crouched down closer to him she noticed a splat of red covering his front.

"Mister!" She gasped. He didn't look good. He looked... well, dead. She pulled out her phone. "Just hold on. I'll call help. Just-"

He shot up into a sitting position, eyes wide and scanning the surroundings briefly before locking on hers. "I- I'm alive Dattebayo!"

She blinked, her own gaze caught. Her breath was stuck in her throat. His eyes were... beautifull. They were a shade of brilliant sky-blue. And they looked familiar In an odd way. Then again she didn't see a lot of blue eyed people in Tokyo besides herself.

"Hey girly, whatcha starin at?"

She blinked, and turned red, glancing away. "Nothing! I- I just saw you ok! And I'm shocked you're alive because- I mean... you look like you went through hell Deshine!."

"Hehe, yeah. I was in the battle against Kaguya and I was sent here and then-"

"Uh mister I think you have Amnesia, Deshine?"

"What's that?"

"Uh... a thing you get when you hit your head?"

"But what's it do?"

"I don't know, just stuff okay! Deshine!"

"I think I'm fine. I'm alive I mean!"

"Well I think you aren't very fine at all. You're covered in blood!"

"Oh that? It isn't mine- ah don't look at me like that I'm not scary I swear? My name's Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto!"

"... I'm Suiren. Namikaze Suiren. I think we should take you to see a doctor though, Naruto-kun. And at least get out of the rain."

"But I don't wanna go to the meds! I'm fine Dattebayo!"

"No you're not. You have scratches all over!"

"It's just scratches!"

"Still I- oh one sec I've got a call coming in," Suiren put up a hand, picking up her phone and hitting the green answer button. She gave Naruto a wierd look when he narrowed his eyes at her while she was answering.

"Moshimoshi," Suiren cheered into the speaker.

"Ne, Ne, what's that, Dattebayo," Naruto pointed to the cell.

"Suiren? Where on earth are you? The ceremony just ended!"

"It's a cellphone Naruto-kun," She turned back to her cellphone. "Sorry Neji. I know I'm late! But I found a guy passed out in the park and I decided that I had to help. I swear I'll be there soon. I've just got to get him to the hospital."

"A strange man?"

"Yeah-"

"EH? NEJI-SAN!" Naruto yelled out suddenly, catching Suiren by surprise.

"Do you know Neji," Suiren asked.

"Yeah! I thought- I thought he was- but Neji's alive?!"

"Uh... Neji do you know an Uzumaki Naruto?"

"No. I don't. Suiren Who are you with? He sounds demented."

"Naruto this is a different Neji. Hyuuga Neji."

"Yeah! Hyuuga! Hinata's cousin. Dattebayo!"

Suiren stiffened. "Oh... You do know him... Neji-kun he does know you. But look I've got to get him to the hospital. Will you pick up my papers for me? Thanks, bye!"

"Suiren don't hang-"

Suiren slipped her phone back into her pocket. "That was close. He was about to start yelling at me. Now we've really got to get you to the doctors Naruto-kun."

"But I want to talk to Neji! I don't need to go to the doctors I'm fine-"

Suiren watched his pathetic attempt to stand up, and how he swaggered before starting to fall forward. She quickly pushed herself onto her knees, supporting his weight so he didn't faceplant into the mud. "Uff. You're heavy. And not fine at all. Come on," she ducked under his arm, standing up and holding onto his arm, draped over her neck. "I'll help you. There's a little hospital by my appartment. It's this way-"

"I don't need to go to the hospital, I'm just low on Chakra."

"Low on what?"

"Cha-ka-ra."

"Isn't that some buddist thing?"

"No. It's what, you know, allows ninjas to use ninjutsu and stuff."

Suiren giggled, "Your jokes are lame. But yeah, I'm sure you're a super ninja."

"I am! I-"

Suiren raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

Naruto was staring out at the street. A couple cars were driving by. A delivery man sped past them on a moped. It was a relativelly calm day, because of the harsh rain. "Suiren... where am I Dattebayo!"

"You're in Minato. Er, Tokyo ya know? Japan?"

"I- what? What country? Is it close to the land of earth?"

"Uh.. no? This is the land of the rising sun I guess?"

Naruto looked somewhat uncomfortable. "Ne, Suiren-chan. I don't think I know where I am."

"What do you mean? Where are you from?"

"I think... another place. Er, another place entirelly. I think when my friends sucked me out of the battle into another ah what's it called... demension? I literally went to another world."

He seemed so serious, his face palled, Suiren almost believed him. "You're jokes still aren't funny Naruto-kun..."

"I... I'm serous."

"Lets just get you to the hospital Narut-kun. It's right over there," She pointed to a little clinic kitty corner to where they were." I'm sure they have a file on you or something. You just don't remember, deshine."

"I do remember. And Neji was here- but- I don't understand this Dattebayo!"

Suiren stared at him like he was crazy, before sighing. "Come on,"

They limped into the small hospital. A clerk looked up with a smile before dropping it quickly. "Oh, It's you. Didn't we tell you to not loiter here, Suiren?"

Suiren swallowed a rude comeback. "Well, Karen-san. I'm bringing you a patient. He's hurt and I think he's lost some of his memory."

"Well you can try Ichibana's Hospital down the road."

"Karen just do it," another receptionist sighed. "He does look hurt..."

"Fine," Karen spat. "You're always taking her side Suigetsu."

"No, I just dont want Oroichimaru finding out you're turning down te-."

"OROICHIMARU," Naruto blurted. "What? I-"

"Naruto! You're acting crazy. There's now way you know Oroichimaru. Come on just give them your info." Suiren hung her head.

"But..."

"Just do it!" Karen snapped. "Name, Birthday!"

"Uh Uzumaki Naruto. October tenth."

"That's my birthday too," Suiren lit up.

"Wah really? I've never met someone with my birthday before."

"Me neither!"

They turned back to Karen, who typed away on her computer. "No records," She mumbled.

"What about records from another hospital?"

"This is in the database, you idiot. He's not in it. Now unless you have the money to pay for him then get out!"

Suiren frowned. She didn't have more than 500 yen. "Do you have any money Naruto-kun?"

"Uh.. no."

"Maybe I can pay you back later Karen. I promise I will, Deshibayo?"

"No. Get out!"

Suiren looked at Suigetsu, who was pointedly looking away at a small fishtank on his tesk. "hn."

"Fine. He doesn't want your crappy care anyways!" Suiren yelled angrily. "Come on Naruto. I have some bandaids at home!"

"Huh, you're house?"

"Yeah come on," Suiren turned them around and headed outside into the rain. "It's right around the corner. It's no use going to school today anyways. Not in this rain."

She led the both of them towards a rackety looking appartment building, and up a flight of stairs. A corner appartment with a cracked window and red spraypaint that was too faded to read anything but a Mo, was covering the already peeling green paint on the door.

"Home sweet home," Suiren grinned. She nudged the door open with her foot. "It doesn't lock," she explained. "But for the most part Minato is a good ward. So I haven't been robbed. Yet, Deshine."

She led the awefully-silent Naruto over to her puke-green couch and laid him down. "There. I'll get the first aid kit. See we don't need that getto hospital! I'm practically a doctor!"

She walked back into the living room and laid out an array of bandages. "Actually, if you want you should shower first. That way the bandages are clean. I think I have one of Sasuke-kuns old shirts lying around. I think-"

"Sasuke," naruto finally broke his silence. "Sasuke Uchiha?"

Suiren rubbed her temples. "I'm really confused. How do you know sasuke?"

"How do you know Sasuke?"

"I went to school with the stupid bully."

Naruto sat up and leant against the sofa arm. "I don't really understand it, but I think I know what's going on. Look I was in this big battle against a bad person. Kaguya. And the only way to defeat her was to suck her away, so to speak. So When I was holding onto her, Kakashi and Sasuke and Obito all used their Sharingan against us and were able to suck us into another deminsion. I thought it would just kill me. But then I woke up here. So I think... maybe I'm in a paralel universe."

"And I think, maybe, you're just crazy?"

"I'm serious! I can prove it!"

"Oh yeah?" Suiren crossed her arms.

"I think my chakra is depleted in this world. Kurama isn't responding to me."

"Who?"

"Nevermind. just, I have an idea. Hold on."

He went completely still. She couldn't even hear his breath. For a few minutes he stayed like that and she considered poking him. Then to her amazement his eyes changed color. An orange hue surrounded his eyes and then he opened them. A strange bar seemed to cross his pupal.

"What-"

"Im gonna prove it," he grinned, crossing his fingers. "Multi-shaddow clone jutsu!"
