No, I don't own Naruto. It's my favorite show, but others come really close behind. This is my second story and it took me a while to come up with the name of the story, but I think that's good. Anyway, here's chapter 1.

Unwanted
Chapter 1 – Akira Katayanagi
--
Naruto popped his chopsticks apart. He loved it when Iruka took him for ramen at the Ichiraku Ramen Shop. Iruka only took him when he did well in something involving his training. So, if Iruka had brought him here that meant he did something well? He couldn't figure out what.
"Naruto," Iruka said finally and Naruto looked up from his bowl of pork-flavored ramen at his sensei. "I don't know if I told you before, but I'm proud of you."
"Why are you telling me now? Have I done well in training?" he asked. Iruka waited a moment to speak.
"Of course, Naruto, you always do well at training, but that isn't why I brought you here this time." Naruto looked curiously at his sensei.
"Then why did you?" he was very confused. Iruka knew how much Naruto could eat, and would only take him for a treat…what did he mean?
"It's nothing, Naruto. I just felt like treating you, that's all." He smiled down at the blonde. Naruto looked at his headband, which lay on the counter beside him. Iruka had given it to him when he became a genin. Iruka meant so much to him.
--
"Thank you for the ramen, Iruka-sensei." Naruto thanked Iruka as his sensei paid the bill.
"Sure, Naruto," Iruka smiled. "13,000 yen, this boy sure eats a lot."

Naruto gazed up at the stars, then fumbled for his keys. He unlocked his apartment door and went in, locking it behind him. He placed a bag on the table; it contained 4 instant ramen cans and a carton of milk. He walked into his bedroom and looked at a picture of Iruka and himself that sat on a table beside his bed. Another picture stood beside it, a picture of squad 7; his team.
He went back and put his ramen and the milk away, then got ready for bed.
He lay in his bed for a while before he went to sleep. He though about what it would be like if he didn't have Iruka. He shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore. Soon he fell asleep.
--
"Naruto," a voice called him. He opened his eyes, and found he way floating in empty darkness. "Naruto." The voice repeated.
There was no floor, no walls and no ceiling, only black void, he felt empty when he thought of Iruka, and wondered why. "Naruto!" the voice was getting louder, and more stressed. He tried to answer, but he found he had no voice.
The voice that called was a voice of a girl. "I'm going to die, help me, Naruto!" he was shocked as he suddenly found himself standing at the edge of a cliff. He watched himself run to the cliff and take hold of someone's hand that held the edge.
"It's alright now! I'll pull you up!" He watched himself lose grip, and the person fell down the cliff. He couldn't help, he couldn't even move. But he watched himself fall backwards and look blankly at the cliff.
--
Sweat poured down his face as he awoke. "Who was that?" he thought. "The girl that was calling me fell to her death, because I couldn't help her? It was only a dream, but still, who was that?"
He got up, as he saw a stream of sunlight fall onto his blankets. He changed, but took longer because he though of his dream, and the girl. He hadn't got to see her face. He zippered up his jacket and went to the other room. He made the instant ramen and ate it slowly, and drank some milk, and then he left.
He walked blindly along; it was a day that Kakashi had given them off, so he didn't have to meet with his team today. He found himself wandering to the edge of Konoha, and he jumped the wall and walked though the thick forest he liked to go to when he thought about things.
Iruka came many times to his mind, but he thought mostly about the girl's face, thinking of how it might look. As he reached his thinking place, he bent down and went though a thicket to a small opening. A small stream of crystal clear water flowed though the center of the grassy opening, and many small white flowers were scattered everywhere. He laid down against a tree and looked up towards the treetops, where the light sparkled down and hit his face. Not much light got into there.
He leaned over and dipped up some water with his hands and drank it, then looked at his reflection in the water, but it wasn't very clear, because the water was flowing. He leaned back against the tree again and fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes, it was dark. Many small fireflies danced around in the air. Naruto shook his head, waking himself up. He moved his right hand to the side, and jumped as he felt something warm. It was round and soft, but he couldn't see. In a moment his eyes were adjusted to the dark, and he quickly pulled his hand away and started to blush. A girl was lying beside him.
"What is she doing here? And who is she?" he looked at where he had mistakenly put his hand, and blushed more then looked up her neck to her face. Her skin was almost pure white, and she had very light blonde hair, also close to being white. She wore a black robe that went down to her feet, and she wore black shoes. He looked at her lips, they were a light shade of pink, and they were slightly parted. "She's so…beautiful." He thought.
Suddenly her eyes opened, and she sat up. Naruto jerked backwards, and put his left arm in front of him. She blinked then looked up at him. Her eyes were a dull grayish-blue, and held no emotion I them.
"Who are you?" he asked after a moment.
"My name is Katayanagi, Akira Katayanagi." She replied.
"That voice, it's the same from my dream!" he thought. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. Nice you meet you, Katya."
Suddenly she leaned over and pressed her lips against his. His eyes opened wide, almost so wide that it was humanly impossible. A moment later she pulled away, and he started to blush. "It's nice to meet you too, Naruto." She smiled, finding what he had said funny.
"What's so funny?" demanded Naruto.
"It's nothing," replied Katayanagi. "But you can call me Katya if you want. I haven't been called that for a long time."
"Oh ok. I called you that because I'm not sure if I could pronounce your full name, sorry." He smiled, and she smiled back.
"That's fine, it doesn't matter." She leaned over again and kissed his cheek, making him blush even more. "I look forward to tomorrow."
"Why? What's tomorrow?" he inquired.
"The chuunin exams."
