First Person
"RUE! What the hell do you think you're doing!" Ugh. I know most dads are terrible. But I know for a fact that mine is the worst.
"I'm leaving. Just like I said I would." I replied in a monotone voice, my arms crossed childishly over my chest.
"And would you mind telling me where do you plan on going?"
"Anywhere is better than here!" I walked to the front door and paused. I looked over my shoulder. "Oh yeah, and dad? I could be whoever the fuck I want." I turn my head back to the front and walk out the door.

Third Person!
Rue walked. It was the only thing she could do now. Sure her dad was right. She had no place to go. But she was tired of him calling her the things that he did. So she walked through the forest. She had a bag with things she would need to live a life, alone in the woods. There was knives, sissors, and pepper spray to protect herself, enough dehydrated food to last her a week, some books, paper and pencils, and some blankets for warmth and shelter. She was totally capeable of living in the wilderness too. She's taken wilderness lessons in boy scouts. Yes thats right, BOY scouts. When she was eight, she got tired of being in girl scouts and her mom had let her join the group of boys on a camping trip. After that, she got hooked. 'If only she was still alive...' She thought to herself and took out the picture of her mother that she put in the bag. It was about five in the afternoon and it would start getting dark around eight or nine. She took note of everything she passed and marked on trees with her knives as she walked to make sure she didn't go in circles.
She had been going for two hours when she found a good place to set up camp. There was a pond a couple of yards away, lots of trees and leaves, and the ground was soft with green grass. It looked like a paradise.
"Wow..." She spoke to no one. "This place is amazing." She went to the pond and put some water in the bottle that she had taken with her and she also went for a dip to cool off and get clean. When she was finished, she went to start getting her shelter ready. Laying down blankets, getting sticks and leaves, all that fun stuff. It was about nine thirty when she finished and she was tired from walking and working so she flopped in the homemade tent and went straight to sleep.
July 19, 2010 4:01 AM
Rue was jolted awake by a loud rustling in the trees above her. She headed outside her tent and looked around. 'Dammit. I should have brought a flashlight.' She thought as she looked into the night. The red head looked forcablly to the left when she heard it again. There was a small faint shadow in the distance. She could make out a tail and two big ears. She let out a sigh when she saw it was a baby fox, probobally looking for his mother. The dark orange canine mewled quietly when Rue came into view, who silently 'awed' at the animal's cuteness.
"Come here little cutie." She called as she knelt down, makeing kissing and tsking noises with her mouth. The fox backed up but slowly started makeing its way towards the teen. Once it got close enough, the fox sniffed Rue's hand and suddenly jumped on her, attacking her face with its tounge. Rue couldn't help but giggle at the fox's excitedness and patted its head in aproval. It was then when she realized that either the fox was a girl, or he got himself into a REALLY bad fight. She guessed the first one and looked into the fox's eyes when it stopped licking her. It reminded her of her favorite demon from her favorite show; Kyuubi from Naruto. She picked up the fox and crawled back into the tent and layed down with the animal in her arms. She scratched behind its ears and she purred. "How do you like the name Kyuubi, huh?" The fox didn't do anything. Just layed there stareing at her. "What? I think it suits you." She said with a yawn before bidding goodnight to the fox and falling asleep.
July 20, 2010 7:33 AM
Rue awakened to a familier fuzzy warmth on her face. She smiled and pushed the fox off before getting up to stretch. The fox did the same next to her, doing a cute little cat-like stretch. The red head grabbed her bag and got out of the tent, motioning for Kyuubi to follow. The fox quickly walked with her into the clearing.
"Wow, you really become close to someone fast." She said as she started packing up the tent, watching her new friend intently. The fox just tilted her head to the side and looked confused as any normal animal would if talked to by a human. She shook her head and looked in her bag for food. She let out an annoyed sigh when she realized she had only brought dehydrated desert. So she started walking into the forest to look for something more appetizing. Rue thought that if she had the fox with her, she would find food much easier. That theroy was proven correct when the fox seemed to have caught a smell in the air and ran a little ahead to find it. The teen followed.
July 20, 2010 8:10 AM
They have been following a scent for over half an hour and Rue was just about to give up, until there was a rustleing in the bushes. Kyuubi made a small barking noise. Just behind the bush there was a large puff of black, blue, and green. She couldn't comprehend what it was before there something thrown at her from behind the bush. It was... A Kunai and two Shuriken? All were stuck in the tree right behind her. "W-What?" The black ball of fluff turned out to be the hair of a girl about the same age as her.
"State your name." The forest girl demanded. She readied another Kunai from a pouch on her leg. 'Wow, this chick really likes Naruto.' Rue thought to herself.
"My name is Rue. I... I come in peace?" The raven haired girl tried to hold back a laugh but couldn't. She basically burst out laughing. It was kind of funny actually.
"Oh, my gosh! Sorry, I just couldn't hold that attitude for too long. Especially with someone as funny as you!" She gasped between laughter. Rue had a confused look on her face before laughing with the other teen. The laughter slowly died and the two girls were now quiet. "So, Rue, Im Ami. What brings you into my part of the woods?"
"Sorry, I didn't realize it was your territory or whatever. Kyuubi brought me." Ami looked at her with confused eyes. "The fox." Rue pointed to the fox standing behind her.
"Oh! You mean Kitsune? Yeah I know her name's a bit cliché, but I like it. So you watch Naruto?"
"Yeah. Before I ran away I watched it all the time." Rue said with a smile.
"Cool, me too. Why did you run away? Maybe we could compare reasons" The other girl replied while walking to the tree and pulling out the ninja weapons.
"My dad." Was Rue's nondescript reply.
"Oh. I lived by myself with Kitsune before this. I just wanted some excitement so I left eveything behind. Didn't tell anyone, didn't leave any hints to where I was gonna be. I just left it all." Ami said with a shrug
"Sounds fun. So are those some kind of cosplay items, or what?" The red head asked, motioning toward the weapons sack.
"Nope. I made everything. All of them as real as they can get." She grabbed a Kunai from the sack and made it do a cool spinny thing around her index finger. "One poke from this could draw blood. So where are you going?"
"No where."
"You could go no where with me then!" Ami said excitedly.
"Cool. Which way? We could be Partners in Crime!"
"I was walking where you came from to look for Kit. I sent her to find food, But it looks like were gonna have to wait for food I guess." Ami said the last part, scoldingly, at Kitsune. "Whatever, We go onward!" She said pointing in some random direction. 'I have a feeling I'm gonna like this chick.' Rue thought to herself as she walked with Ami to "No where".
July 20, 2010 12:00 PM
"And she said, 'Your a lawyer, This time I know I'm gonna get screwed'!" Once Rue finished the joke they both bursted out laughing. When the laughter stopped, Ami became rather curious of her new 'Partner in Crime' as Rue had called it earlier.
"So... Can I ask you something? I don't want you to be offeneded or anything." Rue nodded hesitantly. "Ok. Um, why don't you act black?" Rue face palmed.
"I get that question a lot." Rue sighed. "I'm what you call 'Blaxican'. I look black but I don't act it. Soon enough, when the time comes, you'll see my black side. Soon enough, my dear child. Soon enough." Ami faked a gulp and shudder.
"Is that a bad thing?" She asked.
"Depending on what my black furry goes out on, yes and no." Rue smiled. But it soon disapeared as the girls heard an explosion and saw a bright light in the distance. Birds flew out of trees and Rue, Ami, amd Kitsune all stopped in their tracks.
"What was that?" Ami asked, trying not to let fear drip into her voice.
"I don't know. Let's find out." On que, Ami grabbed the fox and ran with Rue in the direction of the explosion.
July 20, 2010 2:27 PM
"A Naruto manga?" They both said in unision as they got closer to the object. Ami picked it up and looked through it.
"It's the one when Sasuke first leaves."
"Ya know. I've never found interest in the mangas. I always found it to be hard work to read." Rue made a pretend look of discust at the book in Ami's hand.
"Wow. Well I dont read it either. But only because I dont want to spend money on books and stuff."
"Well I'm just a lazy bitch."(1) Rue replied as if that were the answer to everything. "Anywho, What do you think the explosion was?"
"Not sure. But let's not stay here to find out." Ami said as she started off with the book and a fox in hand. Rue nodded and followed.
July 20, 2010 3:00pm
"Wow. Ya know I've never tried reading one of these." Rue said as she was looking at the manga, reading it left to right. "But it seems kinda backwards compared to the anime."
"That's because you are reading it the wrong way." Ami said with a chuckle. Rue turned the book upside down.
"Huh. Asians are weird..."
"You're a dork." Ami took the manga from Rue and flipped it. "You read it the other way." The teen shook her head.
"Oooh. That makes more sense." The red head said with a nod. "Though, I still think Asians are weird."
July 20, 2010 3:35pm
"AAAAAHHHH!" Rue suddenly threw the manga on the ground.
"What happe-" Ami was cut off by a puff of smoke.
July 20, 2010 3:37pm
Rue woke up in a daze. It felt like she's been sleeping for days, but when she looked at her watch, she saw that it had been only two minutes since the book had blown up. She turned her head and saw Ami asleep next to her.
"Hey. Hey Ami, wake up." She started shaking her. The raven haired teen looked groggily around her.
"So... Green?" Rue looked around too. 'Wow,' She thought to herself. 'It is green.' She looked back to Ami who had the look of realization on her face. "This place... It looks like the woods just outside of Kanoha..." Rue saw this too.
"Come on. Let's go exploreing."Rue got up and pulled Ami with her. "There has to be a town or something around here." They walked toward the sun.
July 20, 2010 4:00pm
"Oh. My. Gosh." Rue looked at the large gates of Kanoha, completely stupified. "Okay! Who's playing a trick on us! Andre? Are you the one doing this! If you are, I'm five seconds away from busting your ass!" Rue shouted around her, looking for some ass to bust.
"Who's Andre?"
"The only person I could think of that would go through all this trouble to trick me. My older brother." Rue said as she started walking closer to the gates, Ami followed. A man was walking out just as Rue was, ready to bust ass. He had grey hair and a mask.
"Hello there. Who are you two?" He asked when he got close. Rue was about to squeal like the fan girl she was, but Ami stopped her.
"Im Ami, and this is Rue." She knew he would think the names are weird, but she had a plan, a very thought out one considering she just thought of it.(A/N: Does that make scense?)
"Those are odd names. Where do you come from? I don't sense any chakra."
"Yes, we are from a land very far away called Texas." She tried to keep a straight face. "Most people from there have little to no chakra. Though we can still chose to be ninja."
"I see. Is there a reason you are here at the hidden leaf?" He asked, not really believing the story.
"We ran away. Our village was destroyed and we heard that here in Kanoha is one of the least "corupted" places." Ami tried to look sad. "Almost everyone was killed. The few survivors got forced into slavery. Including my family."
"Uh. I'm sorry for you lost," The guy said akwardly. How could he have known it would be so personal? Ami seemed so strong for someone who should have been emotionly scarred.
"And my dad was just a pain, I flat out left," Rue shrugged. She had nothing to hide. Well not really about this atleast. Other things well...
Ami shook her head, "So were here looking for a new home. Are we welcome or not?"
Rue nodded, "yeah can we stay or do we move our asses elsewhere?"
The guy smiled -well atleast it seemed like it- at the girls, "my name is -"
"Kakashi! Kakashi Hatake!" Rue squealed like she had been dieing to say it since he showed up. Ami elbowed The other teen in the ribs. Hard.
"What are you do-" Ami whispered harshley but was cut off by the man.
"Ah. Always nice to be recagnized by my fans. They don't call me Kakashi the copy cat nin for nothing." The masked man said, his eyes in upturned "U's" while lifting up his headband to show a sharingan eye. Ami sighed with releif.
"I know you more than think."
"What do you mean?" He asked skeptically.
"We may not have chakra, but we do have something better." The red head said matter-of-factly.
"And what is that?" The masked man sounded amused.
"Rue, Stop that!" Ami started whispering at Rue but was cut off, once again, by the other teen starting to talk.
"We can read minds."
"Read minds." Kakashi said. Rue guessed it was supose to come out as a question. Ami resisted the urge to facepalm.
"Well not read minds, per se. But we do know what happened in your life. Its more like... Reading your memories. It's not a jutsu. We don't have chakra. But it's similar to what you would call a Kekkei Genkai, but instead of running in a certian clan, most people in the village has it." Rue said with a smile.
Ami gasped at how smart Rue could be.
"And what is this non-jutsu called?"
"The ones who have it are called 'telepathists'. Ami is one of the Norms."
Ami slightly glared at Rue, " 'Tis true but I make up for it with Empathy".
Kakash raised an eyebrow, both at the word 'tis and "empathy". Rue raised an eyebrow also, wondering what Ami could add to that.
"Empathy is the ability to read and understand people and be in-tune with or resonate with others, voluntarily or involuntarily of one's empath capacity. I, unlike other un-lucky few others, can tap into the emotions voluntarily," Ami smiled sweetly,"Oh and its been known to drive some insane."
Rue stared at Ami weirdly. 'Wow this chick is creepy. Who the hell smiles when talking about going mad?'
"Im more interested in the red head. How can you prove that you have this? Knowing my name isn't enough." Rue let out a sigh. She got in some random stance and made some random hand sign to make it look legit.
"Kakashi Hataki: Son of Sakumo Hatake, also known as the "White Fang of Konoha". He graduated from Ninja Acadamy in a single year at the top of his class at the age of 5, and then becoming a chūnin a year later. Height is aproximately 71.26 inches. Weight Is around 149 pounds. Blood type: O. Your favorite foods are salt-broiled saury and miso soup with eggplant. Least favorite food, is anything fried or sweet. Your favotite word is "Teamwork", and your favorite passtime, or should I say favorite thing to do ALL the time, Is reading Icha Icha Paradise." Rue stepped back to normal stance and crossed her arms with a triumphent smile on her face as she looked at at a suprised Kakashi.
"Dude." A voice said from behind the copy nin. "Who is that Kakashi sensai?" A blond teen with whiskers on his cheeks came up behind Kakashi.
(1) Any idea who she will be with?
