Hey there sorry for the late update (am I late?) Oh well at least I have a new chapter for you guys! So I hope you all enjoy.
I don't own Naruto, but Kimi is mine.
Why was I here? When could I go home? Better yet, when will I be able to sleep in a good bed?
At the moment I was trying to dig out a rock that had made it up shirt. Sleeping with no mattress or no sleeping bag was a nightmare in itself. I finally removed the rock, now I was onto the twig in my hair. It was in there pretty good, I even believe a few locks of my hair were torn out.
After the battle with the twig, I crawled out from the tree. Looking to my left then to my right and finally up and down. Knowing the luck I've been having I needed to take notice of my surroundings, making sure nothing was off. Everything seemed clear so I picked up the little material stuff I had and continued on my way.
Everything was going good until my stomach spoke up in protest. I stopped in my tracks and grabbed my empty belly.
"Ugh I'm so hungry; I have to find something to eat. But I don't want to eat anything poisonous." I had walked a good distance from where I started off. So I decided to take in my surroundings again. I noticed something new in the sky. There was smoke floating up in the sky.
This could either be a good sign, OR a very bad sign. But I'm too hungry to care. So let's get going!
I made up my mind, running full sprint towards the smoke. But what was at the end of my destination was a surprise to me. Furthermore the look on their faces seemed to be surprise as well. But who would meet a young lady in the forest?
Obviously these people…Wait now that I have a good look at them. These two people seem familiar. Hm let's see one of them is a young boy and the other an older man. But what were their names?! Ugh think Kimi!
Finally the younger boy spoke up and brought me out of my thoughts. He seemed to be around eleven or twelve. He had dark spikey-ish hair with really dark eyes and a light complexion. Unlike his partner who looked much older, possibly over fifty years of age, His grey hair and glasses seemed familiar.
The young boy spoke up again. "Um are you lost miss?" he looked up quizzically at me. I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment. "Heh heh sorry I was lost in thought for a second, my name is Kimi and I'm trying to get to the hidden leaf village. I suppose you wouldn't know which direction to go?"
Well if these people look familiar somehow, then they must be good guys right?
The older man spoke up and laughed "Well actually were on our way to the Leaf right now. You see the Village recently was destroyed, so we've been hired to help in the rebuilding process. Were just cooking our breakfast before we have to head out again."
That's when the smell hit me like a brick wall. I looked down at the fire pit and saw five fishes being roasted. My mouth was beginning to water just looking at them.
There was another laugh and I looked back at the older gentlemen. "You look really hungry, how about you sit down and eat with us? Then when were all done we can all walk to the Leaf. After all our destinations are the same".
I was shocked and happy at the same time. Most of my time in this world was beyond terrible. Being kicked, bloodied, and knocked out wasn't all that fun. Plus most of the people I've meet so far have been evil and not friendly in the least (well Jugo was nice I guess and Suigetsu was somewhat nice too) But these people here were not like those people. These people were welcoming and nice.
My stomach made itself known again as it growled louder than the last time. I smiled sheepishly and responded "I would really like that sir".
He laughed again "even your stomach can't deny, well sit down and grab a fish. This young guy over here is Inari and I'm Tazuna".
DUH! How could I forget about these people?! Ugh I'm really stupid! I should get my head checked!
I quickly sat down and grabbed a fish from the fire and began to munch down. This fish tasted really good! But then again I bet anything would. Back home I wasn't much of a fish eater. "Say is you the guy who built that bridge? The um…Naruto bridge?" I already knew the answer but I wanted to play dumb.
Inari replied this time "Yep Grandpa was the one" Then Tazuna interrupted "It wasn't just me. With the help of other builders, the back up of the villagers and the incredible help of some Ninja. We were able to open the village doors to a bright future."
Wow that was a real…Tear jerker? But that's amazing how one bridge can change a village.
Inari Swallowed the last of his fish, he cleared his throat and spoke up " So Kimi why are you heading to the Leaf?"
I quickly thought of an excuse
I don't want to tell them I was kidnapped, or that I'm not even from this world.
" Well you see…I have some family that lives there and I was asked to come help them."
I hope that was a suffice answer. It seemed it was as I just nodded and began to clean up. Soon I finished my meal and helped clean up. Soon we were on our way to the Hidden Leaf.
Well that's the end of this chapter. I hope you all liked it and please review!
