Chapter One: Questions

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, I only Alli and my plot.

"Ring! Ring!" the alarm clock went off and Alli was positive that the only reason that alarm clocks were made was to annoy the crap out of high school students.

She went and shut the alarm off and ran to take a quick shower and put on some skinnies and an abstract colored top. Alli ran downstairs to see Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi, already awake.

"Wow, you guys must be early birds or something." Alli commented.

"No, we just slept early than usual. We actually had to wake up Naruto, by the way could you make us something to eat?" Kakashi spoke to her.

"Um, but it's not going to be perfect because I'm in a hurry, so I can only make you guys some cereal." Alli said in a hurry.

Alli than jogged all the way to the pantry and got out some Trix and some milk from the fridge and then got out four bowls and poured the milk into the bowl and then dumped the cereal in them.

Alli than grab two bowls and put them in front of Kakashi and Sasuke first and then Naruto and Sakura next. Then Alli got her backpack and almost stepped foot out of the door until she was stopped by a voice.

"Are you going to eat?" Kakashi asked her.

"Not at home. I don't have the time. I can get breakfast at school." Alli responded back and then ran out the door.

Alli ran out the door, and rushed all the way to the bus stop, and was going to make it but the bus was too fast for her liking and she missed the bus.

"Damn!" Alli cursed. "Now I have to run all the way to school."

Alli was a girl of speed. She was always the abnormal one, so no one really hung out with her. So basically her friends right now are the ones she found yesterday.

"Now, that I think about it, if they want to learn more about the ways of a normal life, then they have to ask questions. I should have told them when I was going to be home also, or they might panic if I don't get home at the same time or something." Alli thought to herself as she kept running towards her destination, which was school.

Back at the house, Sakura and Naruto were looking at the pictures that were hanging on the wall, while Kakashi and Sasuke were figuring out how to use a machine called a TV.

"This is crap, TV's are so hard," complained Sasuke.

"No it's not. Just push the buttons that say on, and use common sense, duh Sasuke" Naruto said.

"When did you get so smart dobe?" Sasuke asked.

"Don't worry, I am still the lovable Naruto."

"Oh yeah," Sasuke mocked.

"YEAH!" Naruto yelled.

"Hey you guys, not to ruin your fun, but I doubt that you can use justu in this world. I kind of hoped that you break down Alli's house, or we will have nowhere to go," Kakashi reminded them.

"Then will find somewhere else to go," Sasuke commented.

"Uh, then where would Alli go?" Sakura spoke this time.

"What do you mean?" Naruto spoke this time.

Sakura motioned for her teammates to come to where she was looking at the pictures. Sakura then pointed out the ones on the wall, like they were placed there in chronological order.

"So, what do you see?" Sakura questioned.

"Uh, well the first one I see probably Alli and her mom and dad, and I see an older guy, probably her older brother," Kakashi spoke as he looked at the first one, and then he noticed what Sakura was talking about. Kakashi looked at the first picture and then all the way to the last one. Kakashi saw that the first picture was a very happy family. Then the second picture was without her father and the face on Alli was as bright as the first one, but she still had that smile on her face. The third one was without her mom and it was just Alli and her elder brother, and that smile was still on Alli's face but she had a more of a gloom in her eyes. The last picture was just Alli by herself. She was doing a peace sign with her hands but, she had a great depression in her eyes.

"Yes, that is probably what the picture is. Did you notice the facial expression on Alli's face and in her eyes?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, she looks so happy," Naruto commented.

"Yes," Sakura replied. "Now what about the other three, with the pictures mission one person until Alli all by herself?"

"What? It's just her photos with different family members. What is wrong with that?" Sasuke asked this time.

"Look in her eyes," Sakura spoke. "It's not the same as the first photo. Her eyes are showing the true emotion while she is smiling on the outside. She probably went through a dramatic event in her life. Lets make sure we don't offend her anyway possible."

"Why don't we just ask her, she probably won't mid after all she did say that if we need anything just ask her, besides our whole mission was to get used to this place after all," Sasuke reminded his teammates.

"True, but this is her life, we are butting into," Kakashi remarked.

9 Hours Later…

"Ugh, school was a pain," complained Alli as she adjusted her backpack firmly on her back and grabbed her ipod out of her pockets and put on the earphones and started to listen to Firework by Katy Perry.

Alli listened to the song and it basically described who she was and that she really needed to be like a firework, but with all the hardships she dealt with she knew couldn't do it. Alli kept walking down the street to end up finding a black cat that was stuck in a tree.

"Awh, the little kitty stuck in a tree," Alli baby talked. "Come here Kitty, Kitty, I will help you down."

Alli kept yearning the cat to come down and after five minutes, the cat finally listened and jumped into Alli's open arms. Once the cat jumped into her arms, Alli petted the cat and the cat started to purr very loud.

"You know Kitty, you are actually nice, too bad you are a runaway. If, I ever see you again though, I'll call you by the name Shadow. How does that sound?" Alli asked the cat as if it was able to talk. The cat ended up purring loudly after that, and it made it sound like the cat agreed to the name that was given.

"See you late Shadow, I got to go home, and see if my friends need help with anything." Alli said to Shadow and she ran off towards her house.

Alli finally got home and was excited too, because she didn't have any homework, for once. She could actually do something, and tomorrow would be Friday so, it would be the weekend.

When Alli got home, she saw Sakura, Naruto, Kakashi, and Sasuke sitting on her couch… bored.

"Uh, what are you guys doing?" Alli asked as she strolled into the living.

"Well, in the beginning of the day, after breakfast, we tried to use your 'TV' but we didn't know how," Sasuke replied.

"Then, we looked at the pictures on the wall," Kakashi pointed out.

"After that, we all took naps, since we got no money, and we didn't know what to do for fun," Naruto then spoke.

"Oh, sorry for rushing off this morning, I was really late for school. I also didn't plan anything for you guys since I was up late last night, and I was busy, but since tomorrow, I have nothing important to do, we could hang out or something, oh and by the way, to work the 'TV' you take the remote, and then point it at the square box that we call a television or TV for short, and then push the on button and then push the numbers on the remote for a certain channel. Also, there are some channels that don't work so you have to push the arrows on the remote to change them." Alli demonstrated.

"See teme, I told you about the on and off button!" Naruto yelled through the house.

"Naruto, your voice is too loud lower it down," Alli said while covering her ears.

"Hehe, sorry Alli," Naruto apologized.

"That is okay," Alli spoke to Naruto.

Since the mood quiet down some, Sakura decided to find out more about Alli's past.

"Hey Alli? Can you tell me about your past?"

"I guess, it's not a pretty story in my eyes," Alli sighed. "Well, I might as well say, I'm adopted."

"Wah?" Naruto screamed.

"NARUTO! What did I say about your voice? Anyways yes, didn't you see how I don't look like my brother or mother or even my father?" Alli pointed towards the pictures on the wall. She walked over to them since it was easier to explain.

"My mom told me long ago, that one day she was going to leave the house, and when she walked out the front door, she noticed a small pink basket with a little girl in it, with a note saying "Take care of her," with no name at the bottom, so my mom and dad, and older brother never figured out who my actual parents were." Alli explained.

"Wow," Sakura gasped.

"I know, but I can continue," Alli said with a sad smile. "I grew up like any other human being in this world would grow up to be like, except with my own personality. I love things that many other girls didn't like. For example, I love to take Karate, I like to fight, when I was little, you could say I was a tomboy. I was a loner for that, every other girl, wanted to deal with make-up and i don't see why. I always kept my hair at least a medium length, since if it was long, I couldn't do certain stuff, and it added weight to my swiftness. I grew up educated I guess. I was smart to some degree but, I wasn't a genius. I ended up finding out that I love music and I love to draw, lets say I'm an unknown artist in both areas."

Alli then walked up to the first picture that was hanging that was the whole family. "The only reason how I possibly came up that I was adopted was the hair color. My parents had brown and black hair. My brother had a mixture of both colors in his hair. I had red hair, which is really rare especially how red my hair is." Alli then pointed to the group photo of the picture with her whole family in it, and then started to explain.

"That picture was when I was like nine years old. We all decided to get a group photo of a family and we decided to get a photo where we could all remember us getting the photo." Alli then started to make a light giggle. "That day was the funniest day ever since my family kept bugging me about looking pretty, but I kept telling them, I would rather look normal. That picture was probably one of my happy days that are only a treasured memory."

Then Alli walked over to the next picture that only had her, her brother and her mother. Alli looked at her brother and mother and made a huge sigh. "The next part of my life that I remember very clearly was when my father died."

"Ali, you don't have to tell that story, if it upsets you," Sakura spoke.

Alli then turned to her and smile. "Its okay, my dad probably doesn't want me to be sad, he wants me to be happy, and the only to be happy is to let it out."

"So, I guess I should start on when my dad was coming home from work that day. I was 11 at the time, so I guess it has been three years since we had that big family photo. I was coming home from school, which at the time, I actually liked school, which I regret later on, as in now. So anyways I went home and I find that my mom and brother are home…crying. I wondered why, until see my mom come up to me, and say that "daddy won't be coming home for a while," she never told me anything after about where my dad was. I assumed her left us, thinking that I personally did something wrong, but then I found out that my dad died on the job he was in working in the hospital when a shooter came in and started shooting people for no reason. It turned out that my dad was on the shooters sister's case on the hospital and the shooter's sister died, so my dad died that day. After that my brother and my mom and I decided that we should have another family picture even without my dad, because if we just had a picture with my dad and then guilt and sadness would be playing in our hearts and we decided to get that over with." Alli looked over to her newly friends.

"The thing was that I was only as acquaintances with my father, even though we loved each other, we never talked, so his death didn't take a toll on me, but it was sad that he had to go and die, but I know he is watching me somewhere special."

Alli turned around after looking at the picture with just her father missing and saw that Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, not so much Kakashi, but they were felling little bit guilty about asking now.

"You guys really, I mean really don't have to feel sorry for me, I mean everyone dies one day right? And besides, you just ruin your soul like that to be sad all the time," Alli said with a smile.

"I'm sorry Alli, but you lost like everything dear to you…"

"No, I haven't." Alli replied sharply at what Sakura was going to say. "The reason why I haven't is because I didn't lose my faith, and I didn't lose my will to make friends. I may get depressed sometimes, but I still got some friends, and that includes you four, well actually your my only friends but I totally was never alone, I had acquaintances but my life worked out so far to my liking,"

Naruto then got a huge grin on his face, but then sort of sadden as he asked his question.

"Well, Alli, if you don't mind, then could we hear the rest of your story?"

"Sure, I was only halfway done anyways." Alli said as she then walked over to the picture of just her and her brother.

"I guess after my dad died, my mom got really depressed a year later. She started to get drunk and started to do drugs, and actually started to hit me when I did something wrong, but my brother his name was Trevor, he was the one to stand up for me. He protected me, when my mom would try to hurt me, and usually I would end up in his room for some nights to make sure my mom doesn't try to hurt me, we did sleep in separate beds of course since he was like six years older than which would mean, when I was 12 he was 18. Then on one night, my mom decided she couldn't live life without her husband, she wasn't even thinking about me, or Trevor she was going through her own personal needs, and then I guess one night my mother decided to take a midnight stroll, and of course me and my brother were sleeping at that time since school was on the next day. That morning though, police came to our doorstep and they gave my brother bad news. They told him that my mother committed suicide that night and basically left is alone, and luckily my brother was old enough were we could still in the house we are basically in." Alli explained.

"So basically your mom got depressed and took all her anger out on you and your brother?" Kakashi questioned.

Alli nodded to Kakashi questioned. To Alli it was a normal thing in the world, really not a shocker. She heard many things about abusive parents on the Television and in books, but sometimes she dreamed it never happened but it did.

"Now, I'd say that the most depressing picture would be the picture by myself," Alli stated as she pointed out the last picture on the wall.

"Why would it be depressing? You look fine in the picture," Naruto said looking stumped.

Alli giggled. "You are a funny person Naruto, but you don't have that kind of eye. You see, in that picture, I was by myself, no one around, I decided to take this picture after my brother died. I wanted to take one last picture, basically keep the tradition going about losing a family member and then taking a photo. My brother Trevor died of a stupid reason. Bullying. After mom died, he was the one who took care of me, and he gave up most of his freedom just to be with me, and I tried to protest but, it didn't work on him. His sports team, got so angry on him that one day he decided to end up hang himself because of the teasing and lies being said about him. He ended up hanging himself up in the boy's locker room, so I couldn't go in there but I knew I was alone because I could feel when someone leaves me, I get this feeling like the ones I already experienced. My brother was like my hero basically so, I got really depressed after he died, I didn't do anything special, I still pray for his safety even though he is in heaven now, but I sometimes do really miss him," Alli finally said as one tear slid down her pale face slowly leaving a single tearstain.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Naruto asked this time.

Alli then brought up her hand to wipe away that single tear that escaped and then nodded.

"You know, talking about my brother was the worst, but lets say that was over and what did I do?" Alli started off with a question but still continuing her story.

"Well, I still went to school, and I live in this house, I found out that music helps me, and that drawing helps too. I ended up joining a program in school where a student sings songs they wrote and people pay to get in and watch. My free time, I write songs, and I go to Karate practice. My birthday is February 14. My likes I'm 15 years old, as you can see my left eye is green and my right eye color is blue, and my hair color is red. I live alone, until you guys came," Alli finished her story of past and present.

"Do you have any dreams for the future?" Naruto asked this time.

Alli shook her head. Team seven seemed surprised at this, the usual would be that a person would have a future dream to take control of their life and usually that ends up making the turn point of their life, and basically plans their future.

"I don't plan out my future. I just let life take me as it would be. I just go with the flow."

"Was it because of all the people who left you in your lifetime?" Kakashi asked this time.

Alli nodded her head, as it was obvious. "I do plan to make a goal someday but right now, it isn't the right time for me, but I do have a dream, but I don't know if it might be for the future. I would just want to know who my REAL parents are, that is all."

"So, can I hear your life stories? They can't be bad as mine," Alli questioned the group before her.

They nodded to agreement, I mean it was fair for them, right?

But, first Alli was explained that they weren't from this world and that they were on a mission from another to check this world out because a portal appeared in there world and that it never happened before so there leader or Hokage told them to come to Alli's world and also that they are ninja.

"So you guys are saying that you are Ninja and that you came to explore my world?" Alli questioned and repeated the words in her head a thousand times and more.

They all nodded to confirm Alli's statement, and they were scared of what Alli's reaction might be.

"THAT IS SO COOL!" Alli said happily and pumped her fist into the air. Then she frowned. "If you guys are ninja, you guys risk your life right? Did anybody you love or been friends with die?"

Naruto and Sakura shook their heads, while Kakashi and Sasuke nodded. Alli wasn't shocked because for some reason she knew that being a ninja became a responsibility to risk your life, but she didn't know where she remember that before.

"Well, can I still hear your stories then?" Alli questioned once more, and of course they nodded firmly with finally telling their secret to someone who they could trust.

Naruto went first to tell his story. He told Alli how he was an only child and that he has a mother and father who love him very much. He described his mother and father to Alli and it was almost like describing how Alli looked except for the eye part. He told her that his dad was the Fourth Hokage, but they also a Fifth Hokage, since Naruto's dad is also young so they decided he needed help. He also explained that someday his dream was to be Hokage someday and surpass every single one before them, and Alli was truly happy for the young energetic blonde.

Then Sasuke went next. His story was more basic. He told them that he had an older brother named Itachi who he looked up too, because he was the best ninja in his eyes, and that he had a mother and father. Sasuke told Alli about how his brother was in the Anbu Black Ops. It was a special organization that only special ninja can be in. Sasuke even told her that he was probably going to follow in his brothers footsteps hopefully and that he was a Chunnin the second rank for a ninja to be and he told everyone's else's rank too. Sakura was a Chunnin like him and poor Naruto was still a genin since he failed the Chunnin exam a lot of times, and Kakashi their sensei was a jonin, the highest rank in a regular ninja status. There would be more but Sasuke didn't want to explain more.

Sakura went next. She also had a family, a mother and father. She had a little sister named Mai. Sakura told Alli, that she was a medical ninja that helped heal people in the battlefield. It was very useful considering all the injuries that many people do, and that their job is to not die, and that she has to be somewhat protected not to mention she is a girl and a medic but she told Alli that she has superhuman strength so she couldn't be the weak one all the time.

Then Kakashi went next. His story wasn't much to listen to. He basically just told that he was the jonin of his team and that he trained Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto. He also said that he would do anything for his village no matter what.

"Well, you guys got some interesting stories, and since you guys are staying for about two years, Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke, you guys have to go to school, like me every week day and Kakashi you have to get a job. I can probably get you one at my Karate school. Also, I already enrolled Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke to my school, so on Monday morning you can wear whatever you want and you can walk with me to school." Alli told them. "Also, I would make sure you don't tell anyone your secret, or like my police force might come and take you to jail, and trust me, you don't want to go to jail."

"You been to this place called Jail before?" Sasuke asked this time, since he hasn't said anything in a while.

"OH yea, and believe me, it's not a pretty place to be."

"And how did you get into jail?" Sasuke asked again.

"Lets say I got into some fights at school," Alli answered back truthfully. "Now, since it is about night time, I am going to bed, since I really want to sleep in tomorrow morning, so goodnight everyone!"

Alli then ran upstairs and got prepared for bed, while Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, and even Kakshi were surprised about what Alli said, but they put it off for tomorrow as they made themselves get ready for bed too.

Okay, everyone just to let you know that the MASSACRE in the UCHIHA CLAN NEVER happened in this story, oh and Naruto's parents somehow survived the Nine-tail fox sealing in my story, remember this is fanfiction so I can make stuff up like that. Oh and in the first chapter, where they introduce themselves, I changed Naruto's last name to Namikaze since his parents survived. I hope you liked this chapter, it took me forever to right, but i thought it was necessary to right some parts in. Sasuke may seem not himself, and you are probably thinking that he needs to be a cold-harded bastard, but remember since the Massacre didn't happen then his brother and mother and father love him dearly.

Review!

Ja Ne!
