Finally! The first chapter is up! I have been working on this story's outline for months and it is finally ready to be written. Crappy summary and an even worse title but please give it a chance. I promise it will be better than the first horrendous story I wrote. Thanks and Enjoy. (By the way, I do not own anything but my own character, the rest all belongs to Naruto's creator Masashi Kishimoto )

Prologue
The young Kazekage sat motionless, perched like a gargoyle. His pale gray-green eyes were fixed on one location.
Where is she?
He sat in his favorite spot in the village, the roof of his house. He had spent countless nights here. A cold breeze ruffled his blood red hair. Desert nights could be very cold. He shivered, but still continued to watch the flat roof of the house across the street. He was slightly disappointed. It was almost morning and there was no sign of her.
Her
He smirked. He didn't even know her name. He knew nothing about the girl he was looking for. She fascinated him though. For reasons he wasn't sure of, she would sleep out on the roof of the house across the street, and he would sit on his roof and wait for her. After he was sure she had fallen asleep, he would return to his room and go to bed. He knew it was wrong to be watching her like this, but he couldn't help it. Ever since the first night he saw her, he had been drawn to her. He sighed. He could still vividly remember that night
He laid with his back on the warm tiles of the roof unable to sleep. He still wasn't used to sleeping. It had only been two weeks since the "incident".
Two weeks since he had died…
Two weeks since Shukaku had been removed from him…
Two weeks since he had been brought back to life by Elder Chiyo…
He sighed. Even with the demon gone he still had trouble sleeping. He had yet to get use to it, which was why he found himself on the roof of his house at three in the morning. He folded his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. His house was too noisy to sleep in anyways. His older brother snored was snoring loudly that night and his older sister often played the radio all night. He laid there enjoying the silence now. He was about to fall asleep when he head a door slam in the distance. He kept his eyes closed and listened. He picked up a familiar smell.
Blood.
He sat up and looked across the street. The roof across the street was flat. There was a door up there where the stairs connected the roof to the rest of the building. There was a figure near the door. Lucky for the young man there was almost a full moon allowing him light to see. The person wore a cloak but he guessed from their size it was a female. He watched as the person stumbled away from the door. Her knees gave out and she collapsed to the ground. He watched for movement after that but there wasn't any. He concentrated. Maybe she was a shinobi. He searched, but was unable to sense her chakra. He assumed she was either dead or a civilian.
The young Kazekage hopped down onto a platform of sand that he summoned and silently drifted over to the other roof. He landed on the roof with a quiet "thump". He walked over to the fallen girl to investigate. It was his job as Kazekage to know what was happening in his village after all. It was a young girl probably a year or two younger than him, if not the same age. Her one arm laid across her, the other at her side. Her cloak covered her but he could tell she was quite thin. Some of her dark hair was pushed behind a pointed ear. There were multiple piercing in her ear. A mask covered her face from the nose down, much like Hatake Kakashi of the hidden leaf. Her bangs swooped over her eyes. There was fresh blood splattered on her mask and clothing. He reached out to touch her, to see if she was still alive. She took deep breath and he quickly pulled his arm back leaving it firmly at his side. He looked at her face. From the little he could see it was peaceful and relaxed. There were dark circles under her eyes. He clenched his fist and took a step back as she turned her head a little. She must have been just sleeping. He couldn't help but wonder who she was. He took one last look at her then turned around and returned to his roof. He decided to leave her. It doesn't matter what she was doing, as long as it didn't disturb things in his village. She wasn't his problem. He jumped back into his window and got into bed. He couldn't stop thinking about her though. When he got up the next morning she was gone.
That was over a month ago. Since then she had shown up to that roof almost every night and had slept there. He allowed himself to watch this girl but he had set one two important rules.
1. He must never been seen by her or approach her.
2. Unless it directly involved his village, he wouldn't do anything that involved her.
The young man cursed as the sun started to rise. He had not seen Her and he didn't have a chance to sleep. He scowled as the sun climbed higher, chasing away all reminisce of the night. A voice from inside his house called for him and he quickly jumped back inside. He mentally reminded himself of his rules, like he did every morning. He quickly got dressed and ready for work.
