Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto or Naruto related thingies just the plot and my cute characters.

Chapter 2.

?

They're catching up, but I've come to terms with what will happen. I stop running and just start to stroll down an unfamiliar street. I slow my breathing and start to smile. He did a good job protecting Marunoto and me. He made us laugh, and I met my True One. So I will give him the pleasure of not knowing he failed, Marunoto will have the life he has craved. I know my True One's heart will break when I don't meet him in a month. I feel them closing in and I say my final words.

"Thank You, my best friend and protector, Naruto."

Naruto

As I enter the strange tent I notice all the trinkets on the shelves that line the walls of the rectangular tent. Everything in here has a green tint, and then I see a small table with four pillows surrounding it. I take the one that's closest to me and look to see a curtain shifting on the far side of the tent. The girl that enters is not what I expected at all. She's only a few years older than me. I mean I expected her to be an old hag!

She gives me a look that makes me think she can hear what I'm thinking. She has piercing green eyes and fire red hair but the tips are green. She would be as pretty as Sakura but she has that same stuff on her face like Marunoto. Hers is green and it looks like dragons dancing in the sky across the left side of her face, but it's not in her skin like a tattoo, it looks like paint.

Her long kimono is emerald with silver fur lining and red slashes like clams raked through it. The obi was red with a green dragon wrapped around her, its scales has gold undertones with gold claws. The top of the kimono hung off her shoulders and was held together just above her chest with a small clasp that was gold and shaped like a rose, fully bloomed. It showed a black fishnet shirt under that was tight around the neck. Every time she steps I hear small bells.

"Hello I'm Madam Dragon, Marunoto told me why you came to me, and so what exactly do you need?"

"Hi, I'm Naruto Uzamaki and I need you to find my friend."

"Why do you think that isn't a selfish request?"

"Because he can hurt people if I don't find him, and there are other people who need him found."

"Correct, well there are two ways to find him, I can scry him but then I won't be able to tell you the exact place only what his surroundings at that exact moment look like. The other way is to use a finding charm; I take a possession of his and make it to where when he is close the possession glows, then do the scrying to narrow the search."

"Well I could bring you a... possession from the village but I don't have one on me."

"How about this; Marunoto and I are leaving soon anyway for certain reasons, so how about we go with you to the village? Maru-kun could even go to school and when you and I both know you are ready to go after the friend I'll make the charm. Deal?"

"Deal, but won't you and Marunoto stick out like a sore thumb?"

"You'd be surprised and don't worry about getting in the village, Awhile ago I made sure I could enter any village with a little spare change I had lying around."

"...Okay, I have to check on why I came here, when that gets done we'll leave."

"We'll be ready and waiting."

She smiles and I take that as my signal to leave the tent, outside the crowd is gone and Marunoto is leaned against the tent. He looks at me and smiles then enters. Is there a way he could have heard what we were saying? I can't hear inside the tent so I go to check on the scrolls and think of how to explain those two to Lady Tsunade.

I know its short but its 2 in the morning.
