A/N: This is all about the first time Naruto and Saezuri meet. It's quite good, you get to figure out Saezuri's powers, I suppose…

Saezuri looked at the blonde boy. His hair was spiky, he had the deepest blue eyes, he was also the same age as her, but the thing that caught her attention was six marks that each cheek had shared. Naruto looked at Saezuri and crossed his arms, confused.

"That's it?" he asked Jiraiya. Saezuri shook her head, trying to get at least some sense back into her. Then she lifted her hand towards Naruto.

"Pleased to meet you Naruto, my name is Washi Saezuri," she said. Naruto took her hand and sat down next to her. At least Jiraiya had picked a good place to go to, Naruto loved Ichiraku Ramen Bar. Naruto slumped his head on the bench of the bar as Saezuri had made a polite posture to force her back to sit straight.

Saezuri was also confused, she could tell there was something about the boy, but she couldn't put her finger on it. It was as if there was a wall in the way between her and her answer.

"Naruto is a Jinchuuriki," Kiraiya said in a low voice so only the two teenagers could hear him. Naruto looked up, wondering why Jiraiya would say such a thing to a girl that he might not have seen before. What if she was with the Akatsuki?

"Oh, now I get it. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me," Saezuri said, smiling lightly at the boy.

Naruto was still confused, that was very personal, you don't just go up to people from other villages and tell them you had a nine-tail demon fox trapped inside you.

"I'm somewhat of a Jinchuuriki, but the things inside me are spirits, not demons," Saezuri said.

"Why should you know if I'm a," Naruto lowered his voice, "Jinchuuriki."
"Naruto, don't tell anyone, especially Tsunade-and maybe not Sakura either-but this is the girl who taught me most the things I know about the Akatsuki, and some things about Demons and Jinchuuriki," Jiraiya said, from behind Saezuri. Naruto still didn't trust Saezuri, she could easily tell.

"And how would you know so much about the Akatsuki?!" Naruto shouted at her. Saezuri looked down at the ground, finding her shoes very interesting. She had a slight blush on her face. Jiraiya shook his head at Naruto as he saw Saezuri's eyes shut forcefully and her knuckles cracked from being nervous.

Jiraiya cleared his throat. "It's very personal Naruto, maybe she might tell you another time."

Saezuri was still quiet from the question, and Naruto started to wonder why she hadn't answered it.

"Yeah, Naruto…maybe another day," Saezuri said, quietly. Naruto hesitated before nodding, maybe this girl wasn't that bad…well he was only saying that so he could go home soon enough.

"So, we were just talking about getting some ramen. How about it, Naruto? Stay and chat to Saezuri and I'll buy you ramen," Jiraiya grinned.

"You know he writes perverted stories, right?" Naruto whispered into Saezuri's ear. She nodded, but Jiraiya wasn't looking at them anymore, he was ordering three bowls of ramen.

"Think he's bribing us to talk?" Saezuri asked without moving her lips. Naruto nodded, soon Jiraiya looked back at them and Naruto and Saezuri acted as if they had been watching him order for the past ten seconds. Naruto and Saezuri started to talk about their favourite things, such as colours and foods, while Jiraiya watched them closely. Saezuri being the one who's back was turned away from him, was getting nervous about him watching her and Naruto talk.

"What's your favourite food?" Saezuri asked as the ramen was placed in front of her, Naruto and Jiraiya.

"Ramen, of course!" Naruto shouted, happily scoffing down the innocent ramen. Of course…Saezuri thought. "What's yours?"

"Huh? Oh, um…strawberries and cream," she replied, smiling happily.

"Really…okay! What's your favourite season?" Naruto asked.

"Winter," Saezuri made a far-away smile as she said this.

"Really…mines summer," Naruto thought for a moment, staring at Saezuri, wondering way she was looking through him and not at him.

Saezuri shook her head, throwing away her memories. "Who's your closest friend?"

Naruto was thrown back at this, did he really want to mention his name? Jiraiya paused for a oment and took in Naruto's expression.

"A boy called Uchiha Sasuke," he said slowly. Now it was Saezuri's turn to be confused.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"He ran away to join…someone, awhile ago," Naruto replied. Saezuri looked at the blonde, worried, but soon his distant face came back to earth and he smiled.

"So, you gunna tell me who is your closest friend?" he said, smiling. Saezuri smiled.

"Ikari, definitely Ikari," she replied.

"What's her last name?" Naruto asked. Jiraiya choked on his ramen.

"She doesn't have one, really, but Jiraiya made one up I think. Hey Jiraiya, what's Ikari's last name?" she called out to the man who had placed money on the bench and was slowly walking out of the bar.

Jiraiya turned to see Saezuri's stern face, as if she was torturing him to tell her a very important secret.

"Um…er…" Jiraiya squished his eyes shut, so not to look into hers, "…Dezato…"

---

A loud crash could be heard from many of the good citizens of Konoha. The crash came from Ichiraku Ramen Bar, where an old man, known as one of the legendary sannins, was being shoved against a building opposite the bar by a large amount of water.

"WHAT?!" cried Saezuri. Her eyes were blue and Jiraiya was afraid that they might go red from her anger.

"De-dezato," he said again. The water pushed him upwards. The girl was looking at the ground, her eyes darting from one place to another in a mere millisecond.

"ANGRY PUDDING?! YOU MADE HER NAME ANGRY PUDDING?!" Saezuri screamed. She was trying to stay calm, but one part of her wanted to shoot the man and bring him back from the dead so he could clean the mess.

"Well, it was the first thing that came into my mind-"
"HER NAME IS IKARI (angry/wrath) DEZATO (pudding)?!" she screamed at the man, she felt something warm go over her body and soon the water slowly let Jiraiya down.

Calm down…a calm boys voice told Saezuri in her head. Saezuri took a deep breath and brushed the dust off herself. Naruto was now staring at Saezuri from behind, holding a chopstick with a hunk of ramen hanging off it, two centre meters away from his face. Jiraiya was soon patting Saezuri's shoulder and walked past her to eat some more ramen.

"Just because he saved you, doesn't mean that it's still a joke!" she shouted at Jiraiya, who was trying to stop himself from laughing.

Saezuri walked over to Naruto and sat down at her stool.

"Ikari's favourite food is pudding…"she muttered under her breath. Naruto found this a little funny, but the fact that her name meant Angry Pudding was making him snort.
"Two days, huh?" Saezuri asked Jiraiya.
"Yep, then you can go," he said.

"Cant wait to get away from you," Saezuri said, smiling and leaning her chair back. Naruto laughed at Jiraiya, but he groaned.

"No one seems to like me…" he said miserably.

"Next time you decide to call Ikari a pudding, or any sweet food, I will kill you personally," she said, making sure the personally was heard.

"Okay, okay, jeeze…" Jiraiya said, rubbing his head, it sorta hurt after being thrown against a wall.

"So, you and Ikari have been travelling for awhile, huh?" Naruto asked.

"Yep, we're a four man team," Saezuri blurted, then covered her mouth. "Silly me, I mean two…"

"Wait, what do you mean by four?" Naruto asked.

"I just accidentally doubled the number, sorry," Saezuri said in an apologetic way. Naruto was about to say something when Jiraiya stood and said his goodbyes.
"Well, you two do whatever. But tomorrow I want to talk to you," he said, pointing at Saezuri. As Jiraiya walked passed them, he whispered into Naruto's ear, "and don't ask her something more than once. If she says something that's seems important, she trusts you." Then he walked away with a lazy wave.

"What did he say?" Sazuri asked, right behind Naruto. She was so close that the blonde could feel her hot breath on his neck, which was quite strange when he didn't like her in that way. Oh I wish she was Sakura, he thought, miserably. Naruto turned around to face the red head.

"Nothing much. You wonna go on a walk?" Naruto said, interested in finding more about this girl. Saezuri nodded and they both headed for the park.

"So, where is Ikari now?"

"In the hospital. She'll be out the day after tomorrow I suppose," Saezuri said, looking into the sky.

Naruto smiled, "good, how old is she?"

"Eight…"

That made the blonde frown a bit. "Why would someone want to attack you two?" he asked. Saezuri went with the easiest thing and shrugged.

"Robbers I suppose," she sighed.

"So, Uchiha Sasuke. Do you know if and how he is related to Uchiha Itachi?" Saezuri asked. Might as well ask someone about things. Naruto stopped walking and after a few more steps, Saezuri's boots stopped moving too.

"How do you know Itachi?" Naruto asked.

Saezuri never thought that Naruto would know the man that much, she just wanted to know any weaknesses, anything that would make life on the run easier for her.

"Er…what he did was pretty famous," Saezuri grinned. Okay, so nobody knew that he killed his whole clan where she was from, but Naruto didn't know that her family didn't know, so what's the harm.

"Yeah…Sasuke is his brother," Naruto said. This left Saezuri in shock. Each pair had a certain demon that they would always attack when they failed. She knew that they would sometimes go after others, but mostly they tried getting one that they had failed in. Deidara had tried to get Saezuri after the fifth time Itachi and Kisame had failed. Now that Saezuri knew that heartless man left his brother alive, she didn't really know who she was being chased by anymore.

"Wow…I never thought he would do that,: Saezuri muttered. Naruto looked over at her, then grinned.

"Well, I've seen that man more than I'd like to!"
Saezuri smiled, this must be him, she realised.

Uzumaki Naruto is the nine tails! She thought. She knew her fair share about the nine tails, after spying on Akatsuki members who had always complained about him. She always wanted to meet him. There were so many reasons why she wanted to, like how she always heard how he would always fight until the end, or once he saved the Kazekage; Gaara, the one tail. So this is him? She thought. Saezuri grinned, he was just what she thought he'd be.

Naruto started to walk again and Saezuri followed, not sure where anything in Konoha was. When they both got to the park, Naruto sat on the swimg and Saezuri leaned on the tree that supported it. Few minutes went by and nobody said anything, until Naruto noticed that Saezuri was now playing with a lighter.

"Isn't that dangerous?" Naruto asked, quite scared. Now that Saezuri knew a lot more about Naruto from spying, he was trusted much more.

"Wanna see something cool?" she smirked, one eyebrow raised. Naruto shifted slightly. Saezuri flicked open the lighter and tried grabbing some of the flame that come out with her left hand. To Naruto's surprise, the flame stayed in her hand as she pulled away from the lighter. Naruto looked in awe as Saezuri used her right hand to rotate around the flame, giving it a shape. It grew bigger and became more and more like an actual thing than a flame. Heat revolved around Naruto and Saezuri and the flame began to turn into a bird. Wings of fire flapped every now and then and two claws were squished into the birds chest. Soon, when the bird was as big as Naruto's torso, Saezuri moved her right hand away and the bird flew into the open air, a speck of fire was easily seen, then the bird swooped a few times and flew back to Saezuri's arm. She moved her right arm forward, like a branch for the birds legs to cling onto. The fire bird land swiftly and elegantly on her arm and she stroked the head of the bird with her other arm.

"An eagle," she told Naruto.

"Doesn't it burn?" he asked, still watching the eagle as it scratched a place under its wing with its beak.

"Na, you try it," Saezuri said, smiling. Naruto knew this was something important. Nobody should show a new person such important things, unless she knew him through something else.

Slowly Naruto's hand nervously lifted to pat the eagles neck. Naruto had thought that it would either burn or his hand would just go through it, but nevertheless, he barely felt something. Using the back of his hands, where his knuckles were, Naruto stroked the eagle's warm neck. Soon the cold air was now nice warmth around him.

"So…how can you-"

"Spirits, bloodline limit really. I have two of the most famous bird flyers in me, but they didn't really like each other when they lived, so it's easy for me to get headaches. There are five bird flyers, and my part of the family is known for getting them, I have Suisaga, the satin bower bird flyer, never really knew how a satin bower bird could result to water, anyway, and I have Atsusa the eagle flyer. Really they're just a pain in the head," Saezuri complained.

"Sounds a bit like a jinchuuriki," Naruto said, staring at the girl. Was there such thing as a no-tail? Could two human spirits be them?

"Well, before this thing gets fidgety, we should put it out," Saezuri said. So then she flicked at the bird and it disappeared, leaving black smoke and a burning smell, as if someone had blown a candle out.

"What time is it?" Saezuri asked, feeling a tad sleepy.

"Er…I think ten, we should go," Naruto said.

"Maybe tomorrow you can show me some of your tricks, and I'll teach one of mine. Maybe though!" Saezuri stuck her tongue out and ran towards the hotel.

Naruto thought for awhile. Why did Jiraiya wanted him to meet her suddenly? Is there something he's missing? Or does he think another Jinchuuriki would be good to play with? Naruto stood thinking, how does she really know the Akatsuki?

A/N: Am I making it too obvious who the Jinchuuriki is? Please tell me, and add on who you think it is, 'cause you might get it wrong even if you think its obvious.
