Authors Note: alright now that I'm releasing the second chapter I can hopefully get into to my usual style of writing in third person. So without further ado I present the second chapter of Snow in the leaf.
Also I do not own Naruto.
The sun was high in the sky and many people were sleeping in, the night of the festival proving to be a bit much for many. Even several ninja who jumped from roof to roof seemed to have had far too much to drink, as some had missed their footing and fell. A gentle breeze had swept through the village to commemorate everything.
In a park within the village Emi's laughter burst throughout the village as she sat on a swing. She was being pushed by a blonde haired boy, who she had met the previous night. "Higher! I want to go higher Naruto-kun!" she shouted to him. Naruto pushed a bit harder to make the girl swing higher, however tears were falling from his face. "Three…two….ONE!" she shouted before hitting the highest part of her swing before leaping off.
For Naruto it was like time was in slow motion, as he watched the girl jump. Her kimono fluttered about in the wind and all he could see was her golden silhouette, as the sun was behind her. He wished this moment could last forever before, suddenly she was yanked out of mid-air and placed down.
Two anbu ninja had appeared. Lady Yuki we finally found you. The hokage has been worried about you since you disappeared last night. "We will return you to the hokage" one of them said before picking her up once more.
She knew what they were about to do, the usual quickly flash out of the area at incredible speeds. At the last moment after she had vanished, the frozen Naruto heard a whisper on the wind. "See you later Naruto-kun". Emi parting words echoed in his mind. "Believe it", Naruto's tears welled up even further as he heard these last words.
The world was blur as the two anbu raced off with Emi to the hokages office. With a knock on the door and a sense of motion sickness for Emi, the hokage allowed them in. "Please leave us for the moment" Sarutobi said to his anbu. "Do you have any idea how worried I was?" he asks her in what seemed like a calm voice. "N-no…i-I got lost in the crowd and then I met this nice boy… who I stayed with all night playing with in the park", she says to her guardian.
"Oh and who is this boy?" he asks her with a surprised look on her face.
"His name is Naruto Uzumaki and he is a great person" she says with a smile on her face.
"While I'm happy that your being nice to Naruto…. You need to be careful… I cant have you staying out all night scaring me half to death" he says to her.
"Of course…. Im sorry…", she says to him looking down at her feet.
"Well then you may leave… if I remember correctly today is your first day at the academy so you better hurry" he says with a warm father like smile. Emi then nods to him before walking for the door. Though just as she is about to leave he speaks once more. "Oh and one more thing… don't let people get to you if you hang around with Naruto" he says to her. However she just smiles already knowing exactly just that. She wondered how he would react if he knew that she knew so much about this universe.
About half an hour later she arrives at the academy finding her class room that she was assigned to. "Please o please let this be Naruto's class" she whispered and crossed her fingers behind her. She rounded through the door from the hallway. Looking up at the back corner she could see Naruto sleeping at the back. "Yes" she shouts in her mind.
She quickly makes her way towards the back. Several of the girls surrounding Sasuke looked at her. Here they saw a cute girl walking to the back of the room where the loser was. "Don't sit with that loser if you know what's good for you" one shouts. "Yeah you catch his dumbness" another shouts.
Emi giggles and continues before sitting right next to Naruto. She couldn't help but poke Naruto's cheek before he woke. "Huh" he lets out in confusion before seeing someone sitting next to him. He stared for a moment and recognised the kimono. "Its you! I wasn't dreaming then?!" he shouts standing up in the class. Instantly a piece of chalk hits Naruto's forehead. "Quieten down Naruto and take a seat!" shouted Iruka sensei. Much of the class began to laugh at Naruto for getting hit in the head by a piece of chalk. Even Sasuke had smirked.
"Don't worry Naruto I wont leave you alone" she whispers to him before she too is stuck with chalk.
"No talking in class!" Iruka sensei shouts once more.
Three years then fly by in what fealt like moments. It was finally time for the graduation exam. Three times now Emi had failed on purpose to be with Naruto. She knew she would have to pass this time as Naruto had to go through the whole scroll stealing bit.
Of course Emi passed with a perfect score and then went to her home with Sarutobi before going to bed. She knew after all everything would be fine in the morning.
Alright so that's chapter 2 in a wrap. For the time being I'll aim for about a thousand words every night for some time. Reviews are much appreaciated.
