I don't own Naruto or the characters.

Just my OC.

Plz reveiw.

Enjoy! :)

I looked up at the walls of Kanoha. I could see the hokage monument in the distance. Streaks stood next to me purring softly. I petted him, still looking at the buildings around me. I still couldn't believe where I was. It was exciting, but I really wanted to go home. I frowned. Man, I could be pessimistic.

"Merisa," Naruto called, waving at me. He was already past the gate, "I want to show you something."

I caught up to him, which was pretty hard, he was always hyper. While we walked through the village, I could feel the stares. I looked down at Streaks. Maybe they were afraid of him? I didn't know. Somewhere behind me I heard a buzzing sound.

When I looked over my shoulder, I saw two boys. One boy had brown spiky hair and dog poking out from the front of his hoodie. The other had a sea green jacket on with a high collar. His hair was brown and bushy and he had on sun glasses. He reminded me of a mole.

"Ay, Naruto," Kiba asked, "Who's your friend."

"This is Merisa," Naruto said pointing at me. Streaks growled and moved closer to me.

"What's up with your tiger," he asked.

I shrugged.

"I'm taking her to Ichiraku ramen," Naruto explained.

"Oh, so she's your girlfriend," Kiba said smirking.

"What, no!" I said the same time Naruto said, "No way!"

"Whatever," he said, "See you around Merisa."

Naruto was quiet for awhile as we walked to Ichiraku's. A girl with light blonde hair saw us and came up to me. Streaks ignored her and rested on the ground next to me.

"Hi, I'm Ino Yamanaka," she said, extending her hand. I shook it.

"Merisa," I said simply.

"Gah, Ino leave her alone," Naruto said, "I bet you're already annoying her."

"What did you say," she shrieked.

"C'mon Merisa," Naruto said.

When we got to Ichiraku's, Naruto ordered three bowls of ramen. When I asked him why he said one for me and two for him. I laughed at that. The ramen was good, too. I was used to the out of the

microwave. After we were finished, Kakashi came into the shop. He looked solemn and gave me a sad look.

"Merisa," Kakashi said, "The hokage wants to talk to you about something."

I thanked Naruto for the ramen and left him eating his tenth bowl. Walking to the hokage's office, I tried to get Kakashi to tell me what the hokage had said. He wouldn't budge. I decided to leave him alone.

When I was in the hokage's office, Kakashi bowed and left. The hokage was an old man in a robe with the kanji for fire on his wide hat. He stood up and gestured for me to come forward. I stood next to him by the window and looked at the moon.

"Do you know where you're from young lady," he asked.

"The U.S, maybe," I answered timidly. I didn't even know if he knew what that was or not.

But he nodded. "Yes, you are," he said.

He walked towards his desk and pulled out a necklace. It was silver with a crescent moon etched into its pendant. When he handed it to me, it glowed blue. I put it on and suddenly felt a surge of energy. The hokage smiled.

"That's a gift from your mother," he told me.

"My mother," I said, confused.

"She was the head of your clan," he said.

"I had a clan." I asked, amazed.

"Yes," the hokage replied, "They were tsuki nennin."

"Okay? What are those," I asked.

"It's translated to moon people," he said, "They're an ancient clan that was founded before the ninja villages were formed. They were secretive and powerful. When the Kyuubi attacked, they were all killed. Some say they wanted to capture the Kyuubi and learn to control it. There sealing jutsu backfired. You're mother came to the fourth hokage with the necklace. She said she didn't trust her own clan and that she hid you and took your place in the jutsu."

"The whole clan performed the jutsu," I asked.

"Their jutsus were focused on using energy from the moon and sharing it with each other. How they could get hold of this power, is what no one knows."

A thoughtful look crossed his face. He looked at me sorrowfully and scratched his chin.

"You're the last one left," he said finally.

The next day, I was walking with Naruto and Sakura. I didn't tell them about what I was told. Instead, I told them about the States. They asked me if the president was more like the daimyo or the hokage. I had no idea what they meant.

When we were in a heated discussion about, the sand siblings came around the corner. There were three of them; Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara. Temari sent Naruto and Sakura an acidic glare and they quieted. I rolled my eyes. Like I cared what the snob thought.

"Got a problem," she growled.

"Do you have a problem?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.

"I was asking you that first," she said annoyed.

"So? I asked you second," I replied smiling.

"Are you kidding," Temari said angrily.

"Are you kidding?" I asked, trying not to laugh.

"Quit answering my questions with questions," she ordered.

"Stop asking me questions and maybe I will," I taunted.

I was standing right in front of her now. She was red in the face with rage. I smiled and turned around, still controlling my laugh. When she lunged at me I dodged her easy. Then someone caught her in mid-air. Sasuke was holding her back. He looked at me annoyed.

Temari was red in the face still, but from Sasuke's hold this time. He loosened his grip. I heard Sakura inhale sharply. I looked over at her, annoyed.

"Sasuke Uchiha," Gaara said.

We all looked at the pale-eyed boy. His face was blank, but it was terrifying at the same time.

"I look forward to fighting you," he said turning to leave finally.\

"Hey, wait a minute," Naruto said, loudly.

Gaara turned to look at him. I elbowed Naruto to be quiet, but he ignored me. Temari was okay to mess with, but Gaara was dangerous. I could feel it.

"You know my name," Naruto said arrogantly.

"No," he said flatly. Then the Sand Siblings left.

Just when Naruto decided to say something else, I grabbed him by the collar and held my other hand over his mouth. He tried to pull away from me but I was taller and stronger than him. He kept fighting so I tackled him to the ground. Sakura was all over Sasuke and asking him if he was okay… for some reason.

After they were gone and I wasn't on top of Naruto anymore, Sasuke glared at me. It was quiet for a few moments.

"What," I asked finally.

"You're so stupid," Sasuke said, "You could have gotten yourself killed."

"Why do you care," I said angrily.

"Sensei said it was important you were safe," he said not looking at me.

I thought about what the hokage had told me.

"Fine," I said, "I'm sorry."

He ignored my apology and walked in the opposite direction of the Sand Sibs. Sakura followed him and Naruto followed her. I stayed where I was, by myself. Maybe I wasn't as welcome as I thought I was.

"Maybe if you smiled every now and then-," a voice said.

I jumped and looked around. Not a single person was there, but Streaks was sauntering down the alley towards me.

"That's right," the voice said, "I'm talking to you."

I could hear him but his mouth wasn't moving. He must have been sending messages to my mind. I looked into his green eyes and he stared back. Like he couldn't get any weirder. First, he's a tiger and now he has to talk to me, too. God dang, it was weird.

"Why are you able to talk to me," I asked exasperated.

"I'm your guardian. It's my job to protect you," he said, which didn't answer my question.

"Yes I did," he said, walking in a tight circle around me.

"You… can read my mind," I said slowly.

"Yep," he said, licking his fur.

'What do want,' I thought to him.

'I wanted to tell you that the hokage wants you to participate in the chunin exams,' he thought back. 'With team seven.'

The first reveiw i got isn't as good as i thought it would be, but i will write on

and unleash my imagination. That's the piont of the site anyway.
