Chapter Two:

My Model Sister

Naruto and Fire sat in a room at the far edge of his village. Fire had found out that the Sasuke was looking for a female partner to model with, and Fire predicted that he would search the whole universe to find her. Well in truth the company was looking for a Girl, they were actually looking for lots of girls. One for every male model that they had; and there were a lot of them. So Fire figured this would be the way to get them tickets to where Sasuke lived, and that was why they were waiting in line for her turn to get dressed in an outfit he picked, get their picture taken together and then wait till they find out which girl from this Planet will get to go with them.

A woman with a clip board walked out, "Uzumaki Dragon Fire."

Fire stood up and grabbed Naruto by the arm pulling him with her as she approached the woman. The lady looked at the both of them, "Are you both, Uzumaki Dragon Fire?"

Fire looked directly into the ladies eyes, "No I am Dragon Fire. This is my brother, can he come with me?"

"He can't be on set but back behind the camera, yeah I don't see why not."

The lady led them both to a dressing room. She then pulled an outfit off the dressing rack and handed it to Fire. She mumbled something about this fitting and to hurry and get it on. Fire did just that, she waited till the lady in left and the stripped.

"Naruto… how do I put all this on?"

Naruto smiled, "For being all knowing you sure don't know anything about clothing."

Fire frowned, "I never said I was all knowing."

Naruto helped Fire put on the outfit, it was all a pale pink almost the color that her hair use to be. The outfit consisted of a strapless long sleeved pale pink shirt, which was covered by a white vest. The vest had a hood that had pale pink fur around the tips of it and pale pink puff ball hanging down it. Then it had a white short skirt with pale pink leggings under neither. It also included white snow boots with pale pink fur and fur balls. It was completed with the pale pink fingerless gloves with white fur and the white earmuffs. Naruto even added a special touch by putting Fire's hair into low pigtails.

"You look good… now go win us some tickets."

Just as the lady was about to walk back in and tell them to hurry up Naruto opened the door and they exited the dressing room. She showed them to the photo area and that is where the fun began. The minute they walked into the room all eyes were on them. The outfit didn't make the fact that she was pale pop, but it did make her red hair pop. The red hair made her eyes pop, so all in all she was pretty much the center of attention.

"Sasuke your last model is here."

"Hn…"

"Sasuke greet her nicely," squealed a lady from the back.

"Figures get over here. I don't have all day you know."

Fire walked over to him, he had his back turned to her and he really didn't care, "Actually you are paid to sit here and take pictures with all the girls that hope to become your partner. So in fact you do have all day because not only am I the last one but this is the last town as well. Am I not right?"

Sasuke turned around in an instant and was planning to say something smart but stopped, "Hn…" the only thing that seemed to come out of the poor boys mouth.

Naruto laughed under his breath, "Yeah… she does that."

The lady from the back spoke up, "You're correct, but he wants to get done with this as soon as possible sitting in a winter outfit in a dry hot climate can make one very cranky."

Fire smiled politely, "I am sorry, shall we?"

The picture taking went well; when Fire actually wore clothing that illustrated her body she was pretty damn hot. Though she was on the shorter side of things, she still looked good standing next to Sasuke. Her red hair made his black hair pop even more. And though she wasn't all that bit of a model she held her ground and kept them coming back for more. Naruto thought she actually did know everything in the universe. The things she could do were amazing. As he sat there watching her he went back to when he had found her. It had only been a couple of day ago and everything seemed so blurred from that point.

He could remember a lot, finding her, the fire… no longer having a home… He realized that at one point in time he would have done anything to have gotten rid of his parents but now… now he just wished that they would come back to him. His mind fuzzed over what happened to his parents, the fire that was. It seemed to all be a blur, something that he couldn't rap his mind around. Who would want his parents, dead? Naruto looked up just in time to see Sasuke walking towards him.

"Your sister is quite pale for the summer country."

Naruto sighted, "Yes, She was often sick as a child, so she had to stay inside all the time. She never got a lot of sun. When she did get better anything, too much work would make her sick. She is better now, but she is extremely pale due to the past."

Sasuke smirked, he wasn't expecting a long drawn out story and this kid seemed to have to tell quite a few people it. He would understand why, girls usually don't look that pale in this country.

Naruto smiled at him then waved at Fire as she walked over to them, "Done?"

"Yes, the results will be read in an hour or so. Thank you for coming and trying out."

The squeaky woman from before walked over to them, "That's much better Sasuke."
He only rolled his eyes and walked away. "Hn"

Naruto and Fire walked back to the dressing room where he helped her change again and then they went out into the waiting room. While waiting for the results Naruto went back to his thoughts of the night of the fire.

"Naruto be a dear and go tell your father that dinner is ready."

Naruto got up and walked out of his room; then ran down the stairs, "Sure mom."

In the kitchen was a young woman with long red hair, she was setting the table. She looked over at Naruto as he walked outside to get his father. She had brilliant blue eyes just like him, and just as tan skin. She was in her forty's and it looked like she was pregnant. She continued to set the table as a Naruto walked in with a man that looked like an older version of him. The only difference was black eyes instead of blue. He walked over the woman and kissed her, placing his hand on her stomach.

"Dad… don't do that in front of me," scolded Naruto.

"Now… son, you are seventeen I think I can do whatever I want."

His mother smiled, "Well then shall we eat."

Naruto and his parents sit down at the table. There are items set out for four people. It's always like that; Naruto thinks that his mother is trying to pretend that his little sister is still alive. They always set the table for four and when the baby is born it will be for five. He didn't remember much about her but that she had red hair like his mom and she was always sick so she had to stay inside. Due to that she was always pale. She lived to be about four before she passed away. No one in the town even remembers her.

They always ate dinner in silence and this night was no different, the quite silence that made Naruto shiver and wonder what was really going on in his parents' minds. He knew that his mother was thinking about her… her baby girl. His father, he wasn't sure. Some time it didn't bother him but tonight it was different, tonight he wanted to make everything right. He hoped that one day they would have a home where his mom didn't have to work like crazy.

After dinner Naruto helped clear the table and did all the dishes like a good son. Then off to bed it was with him, he was to get up early in the morning to go into town for some things for his mother. Tonight Naruto couldn't sleep so he was drawn to the stars. That was around the time that he saw one fall from the sky, of course he didn't call them stars he thought of them as beings that guided and protected his world. And maybe if he got lucky if one fell they would leave him something that would provide for his family.

Naruto was pushed out of his thoughts when Fire nudged him and whispered in his ear, "they are about to announce the winner."

Just as she did the woman from before came to the center of the room, "We have concluded who will be coming with us to the winter country for the finals. I will call off the girls that made it to the semi finals then call of the girl out of those girls that will be coming with us." She then called up four girls. One of them being Fire, as fire walked to where the other girls stood Naruto crossed his fingers.

Sasuke then walked out, "Uzumaki Dragon Fire, you will be accompanying me back."

If Naruto hadn't been sitting down he might have dropped like dead weight. She had done it, well half of it anyways. The next step was getting him there. He couldn't believe it, and yet he had too.
