I hope people will like this enough to want more. I came up with the idea of my half dragons half humans awhile back but thought it perfect to make into a Naruto fanfic. It was kinda inspired by American dragon but not completely.
Well enough of my drabbling and read on McDuff. ¬¬;
Oh yeah, Disclaimer; I don not own Naruto etcetera…
Dragons of the hidden Rainforest Country
A young boy of no more than six years of age with light grey hair and his face half covered in a mask strutted proudly down a busy market street, where people took no notice of the young child, but continued in their commerce. However, he did not care if they noticed or not all that mattered to him was the feeling of pride and excitement he now felt. He could not wait for his father to find out he was a genin.
The very thought made him whoop for joy gaining strange glances from passers by. He merely grinned behind his mask and waved to them.
"I'm a Genin!" He crowed and ran off down the street.
An old man watched the boy pass with sad, tired eyes.
"Too young, far too young."
"Hush oto-san we are at war," a young women at his elbow explained.
"That is no reason to give such ranks to babies!" the old man exclaimed brandishing a fist towards the Hokage tower.
They argued all the way down the street further leaving the boy who kept running but stopped when he heard singing. The voice was young but sweet like a tiny bird. The crowd around him was buzzing suddenly and people were looking down the street. His curiosity peeked he slipped through the crowd to see who it was that was gathering so much attention.
As he moved through he heard snippets of conversation. From what he gathered it was a kid playing on a head somewhere. He was definitely intrigued by this.
Suddenly the crowd parted and girl no taller than he was came cart wheeling down the street. She wore a simple t-shirt and shorts of the palest lavender colour. She wore no shoes and her feet were dirty from playing, but what struck him was the girl's hair, it was a light violet colour about shoulder length and her huge eyes too were violet. He looked up at one woman who was teary eyed and kept cooing "Cute" over and over again. It began to nauseate him to say the least but seriously she was just another kid all that was different was her hair colour that was all.
Taking it upon himself he approached the girl was now dancing humming to herself.
"Hey where's your parents?" he asked, standing there with his arms crossed in an authoritive manner.
She looked up at him, cocked her head then burst out laughing. The boy scowled beneath his mask.
"What's so funny?!"
"Your face," she replied continuing her strange dance.
The boys hand automatically went to his face then frowned.
"What do you mean? You can't see my face."
"Hee hee that must mean you do have a funny face if it's covered,"
"Hey I don't have a funny face," he protested suddenly feeling angry.
"Hee then show me," she said stopping to smile pleasantly at him.
Taken slightly back he crossed his arms again to look away defensively.
"No," suddenly feeling stubborn.
She giggled at him, "What's your name?"
"Hatake Kakashi," he said proudly puffing out his chest.
She giggled again trotting nearer. Kakashi blinked at the girl suddenly feeling nervous and she looked at him intently with her brilliant violet eyes. She smiled brightly and giggled again, "Okay Kaka-Chan will you play with me?"
"Me, er, no I can't play," Kakashi stepped back, "I'm a genin now; I have important stuff to do. I have no time for playing."
The little girl's face creased with confusion.
"Genin? You're a kid you have to play sometime," she said as if it was a universal rule.
Kakashi shook his head, "Nope I'm important now."
The little girl looked at him sadly. "Too important to play?" she asked mournfully then out of the blue she reached out to grab the mask with a giggle. Kakashi stood there frozen in shock as her hand loomed towards his face.
Just then the little girl was whipped off her feet by a tall man with bright red hair and red eyes. He held onto her arm as she attempted to grapple onto his forearm with her feet. His eyes sparkled and a tender smile played on his lips.
"Found a new play mate have we Takara-chan?" he asked in a deep rumbling voice that sounded deep within his broad chest. He looked down at Kakashi who at that moment felt extremely small under this towering giant. The man grimaced as his daughter fervently chewed on his knuckles and grabbed one of her legs making her giggle as she dangled upside down.
"No, Kaka-chan won't play with me To-san!" she pouted looking at the young boy sulkily.
"Really and why is that?"
"He says he's a genin and he is too-oo important to play," she glared at Kakashi who apprehensively watched the huge man.
The tall man laughed which was deep and rumbling, "Well, well is this so?" He looked down and Kakashi noted how deep a red the man's eyes were, resembling very much the blood red stare of the Uchiha clan.
"Y-yes sir, I was promoted today."
"Congratulations my boy," the man said with a toothy grin. Kakashi quivered inwardly at the sight of the pearly canines which looked sharp and dangerous and animal like. The man readjusted his hold on his squirming young daughter so that she sat in the crook of his arm clutching his kimono top.
All of a sudden a gust of wind picked up shifting dust and leaves. As they settled they revealed the young visage of the blonde haired Arashi who stood there grinning as usual. He walked up behind his young pupil and looked up at the huge man who was noticeably taller than him.
"My student isn't bothering you is he Akihiko-san?" he asked chuckling when his student began to protest.
The older man shook his head with a gentle smile on his weathered and tanned face, "No, no Arashi-san he was merely a play mate for my young daughter here."
He looked down at his bare arm and gawked to find his daughter gone. He looked up in horror to find the little girl sitting on Arashi's shoulder playing with his spiky yellow hair whilst giggling ecstatically. He quickly grabbed the little girl apologising profusely for her behaviour. The young Jounin on the other hand laughed, "She's really cute you know that."
Akihiko sighed with relief, "sometimes."
"Are you leaving now?" the young man asked curiously.
"Yes I have to get back before the season changes or the seas will get really rough and I don't want to risk such a passage especially with my daughter on board."
"That's understandable," Arashi replied with a smile reaching out to the little girl's cheek pinching it gently and she giggled.
"Well must be off, it was an Honour to meet you Arashi-san," the older male said with a bow.
"Like wise Taishi Akihiko-san," the young man replied also bowing.
With that he left with his daughter secure in his arms and even as he moved further away he could be seen towering over the crowd. Kakashi's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. On the back of the giant's kimono was a symbol that looked like a bat, but the head, which appeared separate, was triangular with a three pronged crown. To represent two ears and the top of the head he surmised. The head of Takara could be seen over her fathers shoulder and she waved vigorously to them.
"Bye- Bye Kaka-chan," she shouted, "I will find out what's under your mask!"
Arashi chuckled, "She's really cute."
The young boy beside him humphed unceremoniously and his teacher looked at him curiously.
"Don't you like her Kaka-chan?"
"Sensei!" the boy cried turning on his teacher who laughed.
"Not into girls yet I see."
"What! No," Kakashi glared at the man as he walked off, "Why should I like girls their stupid and they smell funny."
"Well girls are really important you know," the young man said wisely smirking.
"How can they be? Their stupid!"
"Well let me tell you about the birds and the bees my boy."
"What have birds and bees got to do with anything sensei?" the young boy asked curiously.
This received a storm of manic giggling as Arashi's face burned red.
"What's wrong sensei?" the confused young boy asked as he followed his sensei through the crowd.
Kakashi laid his book gently on his knee and peered up at the cloudless azure blue sky and frowned beneath his mask. What a strange memory to have at that particular moment he mused to himself. He looked around at the tall young man beside him who was looking curiously in one of the market booths. He sighed as a familiar chakra came up beside him and he looked at a blonde boy who was grinning manically.
"Hey Kakashi-sensei can we have ramen please, please I'm starving!"
"Maybe."
"Huh but I'm starving."
Kakashi reached out and grabbed an apple from a nearby stall.
"Here eat that," shoving it into the blondes chest. Naruto scowled at his sensei.
"That's unfair Kakashi-sensei," he pouted.
Kakashi chuckled, "Hey Yamato pay for that would you."
Yamato blinked then automatically reached for his wallet his hand clasped defensively around it. My poor money, he thought as he handed over a coin regretfully.
Naruto munched angrily on the apple as he glared at his sensei's back who ignored him finding the book in his hand more interesting. He peered up the street as they came to a junction in the market area. Not far from them the crowd was parting rather hastily to get out the way of what ever was speedily coming their way. Dust had begun to rise from the dirty street when all of a sudden something whizzed by nearly knocking the blonde off his feet.
"Team Gai," Yamato said watching them speed off, "I wonder what's wrong."
"Lets go find out shall we," Kakashi suggested closing his book with a snap.
With a grin Naruto the remains of his half eaten apple over his shoulder as all three broke into a sprint hot on team Gai's heels.
When they caught up they found them in two by two formation, carrying a litter. All their faces were grimly set and dirty. Naruto could sense that there was something wrong with his friends as he drew ever closer.
"What's happened?" Kakashi asked Gai whose face was a determined glare.
"Not now Kakashi this is an emergency we have to get her to the hospital now."
"Her?"
He looked curiously in the litter and nearly tripped with surprise. A woman lay sprawled on the litter with one leg cocked over the side, an arm over the other and looking severely beaten up. His eye widened even wider when he noted the girls hair, it was a pale violet and round her right arm was a forehead protector with the symbol he had seen only once in his life.
"Takara?" He whispered and the female stirred blinking groggily. She turned her head to look at him with her bright violet eyes.
"Hey Kaka-chan," she croaked, "Long time no see." She then passed out again her head rolling back to the side.
Kakashi stopped in his tracks staring at the ninja team that head towards the hospital post haste. Naruto ran straight into his sensei falling to the ground. He glared at his sensei who took no interest in him but merely stared at the team that were growing smaller into the distance.
The Jounin suddenly turned to Naruto and grabbed him hauling the boy to his feet.
"Go get the Hokage immediately and tell her it's an emergency."
"What for?" Naruto asked, but his sensei left him confused but did as he was told as it was an emergency.
As Kakashi continued t run after Gai's team Yamato came up beside him his face creased with worry.
"What's the matter Kakashi-senpai? Do you know that women?"
"Not really."
"Then why are you concerned."
"Because the symbol on her forehead protector is from no village I know of. I just want a few answers is all."
"Hmm I see," Yamato merely replied resigning him self to following his senpai.
Okay there's the first chappie and hope to have the second up soon to convince people that this is a good story. Ended a little lamely but I hand a slight writers bloke towards the end. Hope you enjoyed please R&R
Oh and I was hoping for some pairings in this as well. I'm not a huge yaoi fan but enough people insist I might add, so reviews with any suggestions at any possibilities feel free.
Miget X out…
