"Talking" 'thinking' explaining
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto even though I really want to (anime tears)
Chapter 1: Separation
"N-nii-san, Tenten-chan I don't think we should be doing this," said a 5 year old girl with bright blond hair and sapphire blue eyes as she tried to talk her twin brother and best friend out of their latest prank.
"Don't worry so much nee-san, it'll be fine," reassured a boy with blond hair and sapphire blue eyes as he turned toward his sister with a bright smile on his face.
"Yeah Kohaku-chan, it'll be fine," said a 6 year old Tenten as she started to play with the dials on one of the ovens in the kitchen they were in.
"But what if Ms. Twits comes again," said Kohaku as she sunk into a chair with fear shown across her face.
"Than we run as fast as we can and try not to get separated," said Naruto as he walked up to his sister and gave her a small hug.
Right now Naruto, Kohaku and Tenten are living in an orphanage in the rain village. Their parents all died in house fires when they were 3 and 4 years old. Ms. Twits is the head of the orphanage but is a mean lady that won't hesitate to hit the children when they do something bad. Tenten is 6 years old now while Naruto and Kohaku are both 5 years old. Tenten and Naruto love to pull pranks whenever they can and Kohaku just tags along. Kohaku is the weakest one so whenever Ms. Twits finds out about what they have done it's usually Kohaku that gets punished the most but Tenten and Naruto try to help and protect her whenever they can. Their dream is that they want to all be ninjas and protect their loved ones.
Right now they are in the kitchen where the maids make the food trying to pull another prank on the poor maids.
"O-ok," said Kohaku as she smiled at her brother and friend, "I don't know what I would do if we ever got separated."
"Me neither," said Naruto.
"Than lets vow to never get separated!" said Tenten has she put her hand out.
"Hai!" said the Uzumaki twins as they to put their hands on top of Tenten's.
"Now," said Naruto, "let's get back to this prank of ours."
"Ok!" yelled Tenten as she ran over to the ovens and started turning dials and pressing buttons.
"I don't think you should do that Tenten-chan," said Kohaku as she watched her friend play with the ovens.
"Its fine Kohaku-chan," said Tenten, "It's not like I'm going to……..
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!
"….blow it up." Said Tenten as she finished her sentence looking around at the once was kitchen.

"What was that?" asked Ms. Twits to her secretary as she looked up from the work she was doing.
"I have no idea ma'am," said her secretary Karin.
As soon as she said that a maid burst into the office without knocking. "The kitchen, it's a mess," she said as she stood in the doorway heaving a panting.
"What happened?" asked Ms. Twits as she stood up from her desk and walked over to the maid.
"It seemed that the Uzumaki's and Tenten have pulled another prank," answered the maid.
"Those trouble makers" growled Ms. Twits as she walked out of the room with Karin and the maid following behind her, "they need to be taught a lesson and I'm the one to do it. "
"But they are just kids," said the maid as she tried to persuade Ms. Twits.
"No buts," said Ms. Twits, "even if they are kids they should be taught a lesson."
"Oh," said the maid under her breath as she looked down with a sad face.

"The k-kitchen is a mess y-you guys," said Kohaku as she looked around as the once was kitchen.
"Well it wasn't my fault this time," said Naruto as he looked over at Tenten who was still frozen in shock.
"We better clean this up before anyone f-finds out," said Kohaku as she started to clean up.
"Shhhh!!!!!" whispered Naruto, "I think I hear someone coming."
They quieted down as they listened. Sure enough they could hear footsteps and yelling.
"I want this mess cleaned up!" yelled the voice, "NOW!!!!"
"Oh no, it's Ms. Twits," said Kohaku as a look of pure horror came on her face. "W-we got t-to h-hide!"
Naruto and Kohaku ran out the backdoor and into the field behind the house. They both stopped suddenly as they remembered something important.
They both looked at each other and yelled "TENTEN!!"
They both started to run back into the kitchen when Naruto stopped and turned around to his sister.
"Kohaku," he said as he looked at her, "you should stay here; I'll go and get Tenten."
"No nii-san I want to go too," insisted Kohaku as she started to walk to the door.
Naruto stopped her again, "It's too dangerous I don't want you to get hurt, please stay here," he begged.
"O-ok," said Kohaku as she looked at her brother with a small smile on her face.
"Good," said Naruto as he smiled at his sister, "I'll come back as soon as I can, I promise," he said as he turned around and started to run towards the house.
'Nii-san please come back,' thought Kohaku as she watched her brother.
SS
Naruto made it to the kitchen just as Tenten got over her shock.
"W-What happened?" was all that she said as she looked over at Naruto.
Naruto could hear that the voices and footsteps were getting closer every second, "C'mon Tenten we have to get out of here quickly!" He said as he started to pull Tenten towards the door.
"Why?" asked Tenten a she looked at Naruto with a look of confusion on her face.
"Because Ms. Twits is coming and we got to hide," he explained.
But as soon as Naruto said that Ms. Twits burst into the room with Karin and all the maids behind her. "So I caught you," was what she said as she looked over at Tenten and Naruto," so you are the troublemakers behind this mess." "You will have to get punished," she said as she snapped her fingers.
Two maids came over and grabbed the terrified kids as they looked over at Ms. Twits.
"We are sorry, Naruto and Tenten," whispered the maids as they looked over at them.
"Take them to my office," said Ms. Twits as she turned and walked out of the kitchen.
The maids followed her down to her office where they than sat the kids on the chairs and left the room.
"So you think you can just blow up the kitchen and than not get a punishment?" asked Ms. Twits as she sat at her desk watching the children.
"I-It was an accident ma'am," said Naruto as Tenten sat there not moving at all.
"That is not an excuse," said Ms. Twits as she leered at them," you are to get punished for your misbehaving."
Both the young children flinched as they remembered all the other punishments they had on them before.
"You two for blowing up the kitchen will receive…" started Ms. Twits as she was about to tell them of their punishment when all of a sudden a knock on the door was heard.
"What is it," growled Ms. Twits as she looked up with anger on her face towards the door.
A young maid opened the door and said, "Ma'am there are people here who want to adopt two kids."
"Oh," said Ms. Twits as her face changed from anger to happiness in a blink, "send them in."
"Of course ma'am," said the maid as she closed the door behind her.
Ms. Twits looked down at the two kids before her and said, "you guys go and stand in the corner and don't make any sound.
Naruto and Tenten both stood up and walked over to the corner of the room just as the door opened and two identical looking men stepped into the room with two kids at their heels.
"Good day ma'am," said the man on the left.
"Good day sirs, I hear that you want to adopt two children today," said Ms. Twits as she stood up to greet the men.
"Yes we would like to adopt a boy and a girl that are around our children's age," said the other man as he gestured to the two children standing beside them.
"Oh, how sweet," said Ms. Twits as she tried to look sweet and nice, "and how old are your children?"
"Hinata is 5 while my boy Neji is one year older."
"Ahh and who would you guys be?" asked Ms. Twits as she sat back down at her desk.
"We are Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga," said Hiashi to Ms. Twits.
Ms. Twits just sat there for a couple of seconds in shock before she composed herself and said, "Such nobleman I will find you just the perfect children for you to adopt."
"Thank you ma'am," said Hizashi.
While all of this was happening Naruto and Tenten were silently giggling and watching with interest. They were watching the two children that were always standing by their father's sides listening to the conversation. Suddenly the little girl looked up and saw the two children standing in the corner. She thought they looked around her and her cousin's age. One was a boy and the other was a girl, she thought they looked lonely just standing there in the corner she immediately wanted to go and say hi to them.
"F-father," she said gently tugging on her father's sleeve.
"What is it Hinata?" Hiashi asked as he looked down at his daughter.
"Why are t-those two k-kids standing i-in the corner of t-the room?" she asked.
Hiashi looked up and noticed the two kids standing at the back of the room. They were just standing there looking straight back at him. The boy he noticed had bright blond hair, sapphire blue eyes, and 3 whisker marks on each cheek. He looked to be about 5 years old, while the girl looked to be around one year older. She had her chestnut hair in two buns on her head, and her hazelnut eyes were boring into his eyes. They both were wearing rags and were all dirty.
Hiashi turned to Ms. Twits and said, "Why are those two children just standing there?"
Ms. Twits turned around to look at Naruto and Tenten with fire in her eyes before she turned around to look at the two Huyga's. "Oh they are just there because they are getting punished for what they did," she explained.
"Well if it wouldn't be too much trouble could they come over and talk to us?" asked Hizashi as he also looked at the two children.
"Well…," said Ms. Twits as she looked at the most richest people in Kohona, "Yes, yes they could."
She turned towards Naruto and Tenten, "C'mon get over here and be polite!!" she almost yelled at them.
Hiashi and Hizashi looked at each other with raised eyebrows.
Naruto and Tenten walked towards the two men with small smiles on their faces.
"Hello, kind gentlemen," said Naruto as he bowed. "H-hello," said Tenten as she tried to do a curtsey.
Hiashi and Hizashi smiled at the two children while Hinata and Neji stared at the kids with curiosity.
"What are your names children?" asked Hiashi.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki and this is Tenten," said Naruto as he pointed to himself than Tenten.
"Hello Naruto and Tenten," said Hizashi as he got lower to their level, "do you know how old you are?"
"Yes we do," said Tenten as she grew more confident, "I'm 6 while Naruto here is 5."
Hiashi and Hizashi smiled at each other as they looked at the two children.
Neji wanted to know more about the girl who was his age so he said, "do you know any tricks with chakra?"
Naruto and Tenten looked at the boy with surprise on their faces. That's also when they noticed the small girl who was half hiding behind her father's leg.
"Actually we don't, but we always wanted to train to become ninjas," said Tenten as she told the boy.
"Yes, but," said Naruto as he joined in, "Tenten can throw a knife at a target and hit bull's-eye every time and I can quite easily run up trees using no hands at all," he bragged.
'Such promising talent,' thought Hiashi, "Ms. Twits, we would like to adopt these two children."
"WHAT!!" yelled Ms. Twits as she looked at Hiashi like she was crazy. She looked over at Hizashi who immediately agreed with his twin brother.
"You heard my brother Ms. Twits please help us adopt them and we will be on our way," said Hizashi.
'This is my chance to get rid of the two troublemakers and only have the weaker one,' thought Ms. Twits as she looked at the Hyuga's. "Right away good sirs."
Naruto and Tenten looked up at the two men with smiles on their faces. "Are you really going to adopt us?" asked Naruto as if he didn't hear them right.
"Yes we are Naruto and Tenten," said Hizashi.
"YES!!!!" they both yelled as they danced around the room.
Suddenly Naruto stopped; he ran back to the men "Wait are you going to adopt my twin sister too?" he asked them.
Hiashi and Hizashi stared down at the young boy with surprise on their faces, "Your twin sister?" they asked.
"Yes, her name is Kohaku Uzumaki, are you going to adopt her too?"
Hiashi and Hizashi looked over at Ms. Twits, "You never told us that he had a twin sister."
"Ops," was all that Ms. Twits said as she continued with the adoption papers.
They looked back at the boy," We are sorry Naruto but we only wanted to adopt 2 kids, one that was a 5 year old boy and another that was a 6 year old girl. And you too are the ones we want to adopt."
Naruto looked at the two men like they were crazy before he started to cry. "I won't leave my sister behind!"
Tenten also looked at the men, "you either take all of us or none of us," she said as she crossed her arms.
"I'm sorry children but your papers are all ready to go it looks like you two will be adopted with young Kohaku stays with me," said Ms. Twits with an evil smile on as she looked at the children.
Hiashi went over to Naruto, "we are sorry Naruto, but we promise you that you will see your sister again," he said as he went to hug the child.
While Hiashi was doing that, Hizashi went over to Ms. Twits and signed the papers claiming that Naruto and Tenten were now officially adopted into the Hyuga family.
"Before we go can I at least say goodbye to my nee-chan?" asked Naruto as he looked up at Hiashi.
He looked at the child with a small smile on his face and said," Of course Naruto."
Naruto smiled at his adopted dad and ran out of the room. "Excuse me sir, but can I go to?" asked Tenten as she looked at Hizashi.
"Of course you can Tenten," he said. At that Tenten also ran out the door following Naruto.

"Where could nii-san be?" asked Kohaku as she paced the garden growing more worried by the second.
Suddenly a cry was heard," NEE-SAN!"
Kohaku looked up and saw her brother running towards her. She started to run towards him as well and they met halfway in a hug.
"Brother, were have you been?" asked Kohaku as she stepped out of the hug to look at her brothers face.
"I got news Kohaku!" Naruto almost yelled.
"What is it Nii-san?"
"We got adopted!" said Naruto with a face between happiness and sadness.
"That's awesome brother!!" said Kohaku with a huge smile on her face as she looked at her brother. Her smile faded when she saw her brother's face was filled with sadness.
"What wrong brother?" she asked, "We all are getting adopted together it's great!"
"Well Tenten and I got adopted," Naruto tried to explain to his sister.
"What do you mean?"
As soon as Kohaku said that Tenten came running up to them with a look of sadness also across her face.
"I'm sorry Kohaku, we tried to stop them," she said.
"What do you mean?" asked Kohaku.
"Only I and Tenten got adopted, they would not adopt you," said Naruto as he looked down at the ground.
"WHAT! That can't be true!" she yelled as she stared at her brother and best friend but they would not look her in the eye.
"We are sorry Kohaku," they both said as they looked at her with tears in their eyes.
Kohaku started to cry as she looked at her brother and friend. She hugged them as tight as she could and said," Don't forget about me, I won't forget about you."
"We won't we promise," They said as they hugged her back
"Kohaku I have something for you," said Naruto as they started to let go of each other.
"What is it brother?" asked Kohaku.
Naruto reached up around his neck and took off the necklace that he always wears, "its mom's necklace," he said as he handed it to his sister.
"B-but you never take off the n-necklace!" said Kohaku as she took the necklace from her brother and stared at him in amazement.
"I know, but I decided to let you have it that way you will always think of me," explained Naruto.
"T-thank you nii-san," whispered Kohaku as she smiled at her brother and put on the necklace.
"Tenten-chan, Naruto-chan its time to go home!" yelled Hiashi as he found the three children.
"Ok sir!" yelled back Tenten as she hugged Kohaku and said, "I will never forget you Kohaku and I hope we will see each other again."
"I hope so too Tenten-chan," said Kohaku as Tenten let go and started to run towards her new family with tears in her eyes.
Kohaku turned towards her brother who was looking at her with sadness in his eyes. She gave him a hug and whispered, "I hope we get united again soon nii-san."
"We will I promise," said Naruto as he let go of the hug and started to follow Tenten.
Kohaku watched as they all got in the carriage and drove off. 'I will never forget you nii-san,' said Kohaku as she touched the necklace, took one last look at the disappearing carriage and started to walk back into the orphanage.
