Prologue: Before the Story
"I've always wondered was my past lives were like," said Dawn in the guardian temple, "What they look like isn't that much of a mystery," she said, pointing at the cycle of statues, "But their personalities... all we could see is their stories," said the orange-haired girl.
Dawn Yumi Arnold is now seventeen, a year younger then the age of consent. Her hair was a light shade of red, about orange, it was also short, Dawn didn't like her hair being long. She had emerald green eyes, and she was always outgoing and funny. But what she hated the most, was losing the people important, precious to her, anyone that has meaning in her life, and seeing it was the worst. Like Naruto, she was also an orphan and lost her parents after she was born.
When Naruto met her, he was only thirteen at the time, now he was fifteen and in that two years, he had always treated her like a sister...
"Maybe they were like you," Naruto laughed, "Funny, outgoing, and fun-loving."
Dawn walked down to the second row of guardians.
"Daralis Carrington," she said.
"Who's that?" Naruto pondered, "An old friend of yours?"
Dawn shook her head and pointed at the statue, "She was my past life."
Naruto looked round the statue, seeing if their was a name plate somewhere, he barely questioned the power of the great-guardians , sometimes he was afraid to ask. He'd matured now but hardly changed a bit.
"You know, Marilyn looked somewhat like you," Naruto squinted.
"Daralis," Dawn corrected him at took another glance at the statue of her past life, "I don't see the resemblance."
Naruto shrugged, "Do you know anything about her?" he asked.
Dawn nodded, "I remember Rosie telling me about the Black Widow crew, she was really obsessed with Pirates of the Carribean at the time."
"The Black Widow Crew?" Naruto asked.
Dawn started explaining the details.
The Black Widows were one of the two known female ships throughout the seven seas; The Black Widow and The Witch.
Rebels as some other male pirates would call them, "for refusing to wear a dress". This was before the Black Widows found out about their guardianship, if the Black Widows ever knew about it, the wouldn't be pirates in the first place. Throughout the seas these ships were more famous than any other else; The Black Widow and The Witch. For it's all female crew, Dawn guessed. But the most feared was The Witch for it's captain was Nina Katal, an over five hundred-year-old witch who died when Dawn was fourteen.
"Tha'ts all Rosie told me," Dawn said, "But it's more to that," she guessed.
"Sound interesting," Naruto replied while he was glancing outside.
"We better go," Dawn said, "Rosie will add an extra hour to my shift if she finds out I'm taking a break."
Naruto nodded and followed her.

Thunder and lightning, always a sign of rain.
After a few minutes after starting at the dripping rain from the side window, dear Uzumaki Naruto walked across the second hallway. He heard... he heard... a crash. Many voices he dared not to hear before.
"You're a self-centered careless jerk!"
"Self Centered?! I have a reason! You have no idea what this feels like!!"
"It looks like you don't listen either, Sasuke. I know what you're feeling. You're the same jerk then, and you're an the same jerk now."
Crash!
"Sasuke! Did that girl hurt you?!"
"Let go Sakura! Get the hell away from me!"
"Sakura?!" Naruto screamed in his head and stormed to the voice, "Sakura!" he said, "Sa... Sa... Sakura?!" He couldn't believe what he saw, he tried not to see.
Sakura was clinging to Sasuke's leg.
"Sakura?!" Naruto screamed, holding back the tears in his eyes, feeling betrayed, "How could you?" he said sobbingly, "We..."
Sasuke glanced at Naruto shooting him with a 'Help me' look.
Sakura let go, "Naruto, it's not what it looks like I..."
The blonde haired boy ran away from the seen, while Sakura was trying to cath up to him.
Farther and farther Naruto ran, out from the ship, halfway to the city. Sakura, exhausted, finally gave up.
Naruto looked back at the girl then began wandering through the rainy city, ignoring how damp his clothes were getting.
Two hours has pasted, after spending so much time in the rain, he was getting sick and felt dizzy. He fell to the street.
A light, Naruto saw a light coming strait towards him. Was this the light towards heaven?
A loud, irritable noise followed his, a 'honking' sound.
Seconds later, the hard grill plate of the light slam against his stomach. Painful. He was hit.
An hour has passed and Naruto was half unconscious. 'Half' because the other part of his body would rather watch raindrops fall upon him then death. He slowly began to close his eyes until he felt that he was being carried.
"D-Dawn?" Naruto said weakly.
"Don't worry," she replied, "Everything's gonna be okay."
The boy gave her a slight smile and began to rest and her arms.
And so it begins...
