I refuse to put a disclaimer here cause everyone should be bright enough to know that I don't own Naruto. I'm pretty sure that's why this is called FANfiction.


- -Part Twenty-Five- -


I was determined to find somebody, anybody.

Something suddenly came out of the trees to my right and dropped in front of me. Ok so maybe not anyone…

"Die," they said and came at me. Uh ok, talk about random attack…but still, this was Naruto's world so expect the unexpected!!

"Uh no," I said while stepping to the side, "You wanna know why? Because I need to find my friends. I haven't seen them in the longest time, you couldn't even begin to imagine how much I miss them! So if you kill me right now, I swear I will come back to haunt you evilly for the rest of your days!"

He came at me again, "Like you could pull off that," he said as I figured that they were a guy.

I slapped his face when he got too close, "Believe me, I could. You don't know what I'm capable of, if I want it done, I'll do it. Trust me," I said while backing away from every kunai slash he attempted.

"Never trust enemies," he said, "Don't you know ninja rules?"

"No," I said, "I didn't go to ninja school or whatever. So go away!" ok that sounded pathetic…I nearly started cracking up right there.

"First, you die," he said, "Then I'll leave."

"No you've got that wrong," I said, obviously annoyed, "I'm not gonna die until I see my friends! Now which way is Konoha?"

The guy stopped attacking me for a second before continuing, "You're from Konoha?" he asked.

I shook my head, "Nope, from the U.S. but I have friends in Konoha," I said, "So where is it?" I asked.

"You really think I'm just going to go along and show you?" he asked sounding very amused, "I think you've had one too many blows to the head there."

"Oh shut up," I said while rolling my eyes, "The sound of your voice is really annoying!"

"You're the one annoying!" he exclaimed, "All you do is complain and whine!"

"Well I'll keep doing just that until you let me go," I said, "Why are you attacking me anyways? I don't even know you or where ever you're from."

"You don't need to know that," he said, "Just please, tell me your name. I wish to seek you out again." Then he stopped attacking me and I saw him straighten up.

I started laughing outright at that one, "Um dude? Like I'd tell you my name after you say that!" I said, "Why would you anyways? I haven't done anything and I don't even know you."

"Forgive me but I cannot tell you my name," he said, "Your way of talking…interests me. I will find you again someday."

And with that said, he disappeared. Oooook then. Whatever THAT was all about. I didn't even fight back…

So I shrug and continue on my way. Yes, that's just how I am.

Damn, and he didn't even tell me how to get to Konoha…creepy bastard…

Just thinking about Naruto just made me cry…what the hell did he do to me? I mean, I wasn't THIS sensitive when I came here.

As I was thinking all of this, something cold and wet hit my nose. And another, and another. It. Was. Raining.

I looked up to the cloud covered sky, "DAMN YOU STUPID WEATHER!!" I screamed up at it before shuddering. The temperature had dropped so suddenly as well.

A few more drops fell before it seemed as though the sky erupted. It was freaking pouring! My eyes narrowed as I trudged on in the rain.

I took a deep shuddering breath in and then exhaled to see my breath. My bright orange hair was now plastered to my face.

Wait…hadn't I been drunk before I came here? Then why could I think clearly now without a major headache? Ah well, ain't complaining…

My legs grew tired as I walked mile after mile, or at least it seemed that way. I rested a bit by a tree, holding to it as to steady myself.

I closed my eyes for a minute…Only for a moment…

"R-Reilly?!" someone's faint voice reached my ears.

I thought it was part of some odd dream I was having.

"Reilly!!" I heard the voice just a bit closer than before.

This time I opened my eyes a crack to see orange, red and green blobs coming at me. My eyes opened all the way as my brain made the connection before I did.

"N-Naruto?!" I asked, stuttering from both, the cold rain and from surprise.

"It IS you!!" he exclaimed happily as he ran towards me.

I started running as well and we barreled into each other, hugging the other tightly.

"Where were you?!" he asked while grinning his head off, "I mean you just disappeared that time!"

I shook my head, little droplets of water coming off the ends, "I'll tell you…later," I said and looked at him with my eyes shining brightly for I was crying…yet again…damn.

Then I leaned forward and placed my lips on his, something I realized I missed so much.

My heart did that weird flippy thingy again…

Yes, there's nothing like kissing in the rain…

Especially when he returns it…
