Suiren was sitting alone at her table, a cup of apple tea in front of her. Her eyes were glued on the door to her bathroom. Her mind was reeling. How was any of this possible? She had rescued a strange boy from the park, invited him into her house and somehow he had bent the very laws of physics. He wasn't human. He couldn't be. She had thoughts of strange alien monsters but when it came down to it his theory made the most sense. He was from another dimension.

A dimension that also had everyone she had attended school with. And her teachers had been his. And their ruler had been their ruler. And she just didn't get it.

She didn't really like the idea of her world being an alternate dimension of his. She felt like her friends were the originals, not the other way around. And he probably felt the same.

So she had told him to take a shower while mulling it over. The only thing that didn't make sense was that Naruto Uzumaki didn't exist in their current world. She had searched on her phone and the only results had been fish cake. It was too strange.

The door to the bathroom opened and out came Naruto. She could see him a little better now, without the dirt and mud. He looked a little tired. No, worn out. His bare chest was incredibly toned for someone his age. He was much more muscular than any boy at her school. And he was right, she couldn't find a cut on him.

Normally Suiren would be beet red at the sight of someone with only his pants. However she didn't feel like that looking at him. She felt like she'd seen it before which made absolutely no sense.

"Hey, so I was wondering about my parents. Are they in this world," Naruto asked, snapping her out of her thoughts."

"Oh, yeah let me look it up... Names?"

"Kushina Uzumaki and Minato-"

Suiren nearly slipped backwards because she stood up so fast. "Wait. Wait just a moment. You don't mean THE Kushina Uzumaki?"

"Uh...?"

She ran over to her bed and reached under it, pulling out a magazine. The magazine was old and tattered but a beautiful red head in her twenties was on the cover. "Is this her?"

"That's my mom! Dattebayo!" Nary to stared at the picture with disbelief. Even though her hair was shorter and she was wearing makeup he could tell.

"Uzumaki Kushina is the greatest singer who ever lived! And she was married to the prime minister! Minato! Deshine!"

Naruto's eyes grew even wider. "They- they're my parents! Where are they?"

Suiren's smile fell. "I- I'm sorry. They're actually gone. They passed away in a car wreck 14 years ago. She is my idol though. I want to surpass her one day. I Will surpass her one day Deshine!"

Naruto wasn't sharing her elation. She dropped her smile even before he spoke.

"Tch... It's really not fair. I mean everyone seems to have suck a good life here. So why are my parents still dead?"

"I'm sorry Naruto-kun." And she really was.

"What about you? Where are your parents?"

Suiren shrugged. "They abandoned me. Left me at the Uchiha's doorstep. So mr. and misses Uchiha took me in."

"Whoah Sasuke's family?"

"Yeah."

"Then why are you here," Naruto squinted.

"Cause," Suiren crossed her arms. "You ask a lot of questions."

"Hehe yeah." His eyes drifted to the window. "Well... I guess I really should get going..."

"But are you well enough?" Sure she didn't see any cuts on him but he looked fatigued.

Naruto nodded. "I heal really fast. I'll be fine! Dattebayo."

She watched him stand and go to the door, a troubled frown on her face. She swallowed, her mind racing before she could stop herself she blurted out, "wait!"

He turned around.

"You should stay. I mean... This is a strange place for you. And if the wrong people found you they'd dissect you. And... I don't mind. This place is small but it's... also kinda big."

"I... I don't know if that would be oaky. You're a girl and all."

"Its just for a while. Stop arguing and just say you'll stay until you get a job or something Deshine!"

".. Alright," Naruto grinned. "Ill stay until I get some missions. And ill find my way back to my own world Dattebayo!"

That night, Suiren did a little rearranging in her small flat. She didn't have much furniture. Instead of a bed she had a rolled up futon in the corner. She didn't have sofa or any western furniture. It was only her futon, a bookcase, and a coffee stand that doubled as a table for dinner.

That night the two decided to share the futon. Suiren figured that if he had any pervish thoughts he probably would have already acted on them. He was a badass ninja after all.

And Suiren actually slept soundly with another person in the bed. It was a comfortable feeling. And then, much to early, morning came.

Suiren was just starting to stir when the sun pierced through her window. She glanced at Naruto, the previous night coming back to her. And she grinned sleepily, seeing how heavily Naruto was sleeping. He must have been exhausted.

A loud bang pierced the tranquil morning.

Her head shot towards the door. And in a split second that would have almost seemed comical had it happened to anyone else, Suiren's face drained of all color. she quickly pulled the blanket over Naruto's face, standing up to rush to the door, but slipping as Naruto rolled over on his stomach suddenly and pulled the blanket out from under her. This caused her to fall down. Right on top of him. Naruto woke with a start and his arm shot around her waist to keep her from hitting the ground.

Now sitting in Naruto's lap, Suiren's hand shot out towards the door as if to will what was going to happen next, to not happen. But a second later the door swung open and slammed against the wall. In it's place was a man, his school uniform slightly ragged and his hands shoved in his pocket. His long hair was gathered in a low ponytail behind him and his violet eyes scanned the situation for only a second before he too paled.

"N-Neji-kun..."

Naruto's eyes opened a crack, his voice laced with sleep. "Neji-san? Whatcha doin' in my room?"

"Eh?" Neji stormed forward, grabbing Suiren's wrist and pulling her back up. "Who the hell are you?"

"Oh right," Naruto mumbled, rubbing the back of his head. "I forgot..."

"You forgot? Suiren what's going on?"

"Uh... well Neji... this is..." She glanced at Naruto. What could she get away with? They did have the same hair. "... Er, my cousin?"

"Why was that a question? And since when did you have family?" Neji narrowed his eyes, regarding Naruto with firm suspicion. Then his face relaxed slightly, surprising Suiren.

"Neji?"

"Actually, I see the resemblance now. Still, you should have used separate futons."

"You do? I mean. Yeah of course you do," Naruto laughed, standing up. "The name's Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto!"

".. Right," Neji blinked dully, then turned to Suiren. "Anyways, I came to make sure you arrive at school today. Good thing I did. You have five minutes to get dressed."

"EH?!"

Seven minutes later Suiren came out of the bathroom with her school uniform disheveled. Konoha's uniform had a red theme to it. She actually liked the uniforms with blazers and not the sailor style. They were cute.

"Take care Naruto-kun! I'll be back at four today!"

"Yosh! Bye Suiren-chan!"

"Isn't your skirt too short," Neji mumbled on their way out?

"What? Its normal. Normal Deshine!"

"Yeah Yeah."

"Did you get my schedule for me yesterday," Suiren asked, opening up her own schoolbag. "I wonder who my homeroom teacher is."

"You'll be happy to see. You are in class 1-A," Neji handed over a schedule.

Suiren's face split into a grin. "YES! This is going to be the best school year ever Deshine!"

With a Sigh Neji just continued on his way.
