Naruto a stitch in time Re-edited by SasukeUchiha Thanks again.

*Note SasukeUchiha has changed some words such has hanyou which is half-demon.

Anyway at end of the fic for those who don't know these words I will give the meaning.

["Friend or foe? Secret's of the heart revealed!]

[Same as before I don't own any of the charaters]

~The only shadows we have are the ones we create~

Iruka: In One....two.....thr-

Iruka: *Notices Naruto is gone * Naruto.....

Naruto: Ha! I found you!

Iruka: Naruto, you're such an idiot.. *shakes head* So much for stealth.

Kagome: *Looks puzzled* Found us..? Who are you?

*Iruka watches from above in a tree*

Naruto: Wow, ya'll sure look strange!

Inuyasha: Strange?! *Inuyasha nose cringes* Have you looked in the mirror lately?

Kagome: Inuyasha please be nice.We don't know where we are and we need to get back home.

Inuyasha: Shut up! I know that! But why should we trust -him-?

Inuyasha: *Stares at Naruto* You reek of youkai! Its all over you.

Naruto: *Stumbles back* Youkai....

Kagome: Inuyasha please....Your making him upset. Demon or not, we need help.

Kagome: Inuyasha, you're hanyou and I can trust you, so why can't we trust him?

Iruka: *Talks silently to himself* How could that kid know? They said they were not from around here.

Iruka:Wait...!!! Did she just say.. he's a hanyou?

Inuyasha: Trust him....? {He looks like a normal human but yet I can feel a strong power from him.}

Inuyasha: So youkai, what's your name? Come to think of it you smell of a fox demon.

Iruka: {This has to stop! I hear other ninja nearby and if the secret gets out, this could be real bad.}

*Naruto clinches his fists tight as a blank stare watches them*

Naruto: Youkai, huh...

~Flash back~

Mizuki: In others words you're the nine tails demon fox who killed Iruka parents and destroyed the village.

Iruka: *Iruka crying* It was hard was't it Naruto? You were lonely right?

~Present~

Naruto: Oh how lonely it was. And still their hateful eyes haunt me. But its my home either way.

Inuyasha: Huh?

Naruto: AND.....

~Flash back~

Mizuki: Naruto is just like me.Theres no way that monster fox will not exact revenge on the village!

Iruka: You're right.

Naruto: *sob* sob* I knew it Iruka sensei doesn't recognize me from the inside.

Iruka: That is if he was the monster fox. But he is not. He is a student who works hard and whom I have come to respect.

~Present~

Naruto: And....I will not allow you to call me a youkai no more!

Naruto: I am Uzumaki Naruto! I will become the best ninja there ever was! And I will become the next Hokage!

Naruto: *Naruto's eyes slant as his face becomes more serious* And I will KICK YOUR ASS!

Inuyasha: *Pulls out Tetsusaiga* You think you can take me on, huh! *Charges towards Naruto at high speed, ready to strike the boy down*

*Two shuriken suddenly fly from the sky, pushing Inuyasha backward*

Inuyasha:What?! Where are they coming from?

*Four more shuriken pin his arms and legs to a tree.

Kagome: Inuyasha! Are you ok?

*Iruka jumps down from the tree*

Naruto: Iruka-sensei why? I had it under control.

Iruka: I don't deny you could not have handled it. But these people I have observed are not our enemy.

Iruka: They merely wan't to return home. Where-ever that is.

Kagome: So you will help us?

Iruka: Yes, as long as you will keep what I'm about to tell you a secret.

Kagome: Ok, deal.

Iruka: Oh yes, sorry if I have harmed you any. Naruto unpin him. It should only be a few minor wounds.

Naruto: But sensei.. *Looks at Iruka* {What scary eyes }ok...

*Iruka explains to them about Naruto and how a Nine tails demon was sealed in him when he was a baby so as to save the village.*

*Naruto walks off*

Naruto: Hmph.

*Iruka finishes explaining how the 4th Hokage last wish before he died, was for Naruto to be known as a hero.But instead of all the people who fought back then all hated him*

Iruka:You see, Naruto's has had a hard life with no loving parents or anyone to notice him.

Kagome: Thats so sad.

*Inuyasha's ears pin back on his head*

Inuyasha: I see...that explains a lot. Even though I had loving parents, I too know how it feels to be hated with such intensity.

Inuyasha: No wonder he acted so weird the first time I called him a youkai.

Iruka: One more thing you must not tell anyone or speak of this understand.

Iruka: I'm afraid I could get in trouble telling you this but it was necessary. I could'nt have you calling him a youkai around others.

Kagome: Thank you..

*Inuyasha starts walking off*

Kagome: Where are you going?

Inuyasha: What's it to you! I'm going to get some fresh air, alright?

..................................................................................

Kaoru: *cough* *cough* Oh what a bright light. Kenshin are you ok?

Kenshin: Yes, but I'm afraid were not in Toyko anymore.

Kenshin: Come to think of it, it doesn't feel like were in the right time. Ow.

Kaoru: *notices Kenshin flinching but only for a second* Are you ok?

Kenshin: Yes Miss Kaoru. Its just the wounds healing from my last big fight is all.

Kenshin: You had something you were trying to say earlier...

Kaoru: *Blushes* Yes, well.. what I want'ed to say. What I need to say is..

Kenshin: I'm sorry again Miss Kaoru, but we seem to have company.

*Sasuke watches from afar*

Sasuke: To be able to see me while this hidden...

Kakashi: No, he doesn't know where we are exactly, he can just feel our presence.

Kakashi: Perhaps he's experienced a lot of battles in his life that will make you alert.

Sakura: So what should we do?

Kakashi: Wait for my signal, then you two go after the girl. I'll go after him.

Kakashi: Don't hurt them unless you have to. We don't know if they're enemies or not.

Sakura: Ok.

Sasuke: Hmph. What a waste of time.

Naruto: *Naruto looks from afar* So they wan't to have all the fun without me? Hehe I'll show them.

*Kenshin hold his hand tight on the handle of his sword, ready to draw*

Kaoru: Kenshin.... {I hope nothing bad happens.. He's in no shape to fight. In a couple of days maybe, but not now.}

Kenshin: Where are they...?

*Sasuke and Sakura jump from behind Kaoru and before she knows it she's tied up*

Kaoru: Kenshin! ...help!

Kenshin: Miss Kaoru...You will unhand her now, that you will.

Kakashi: We will give her back after you answer some questions.

Kenshin: Fine, but you best stick true to your word.

Naruto: Hehe, here's my chance.

Kakashi: Are you an enemy? Or did you somehow accidentally end up here?

Kenshin: Maybe I should ask you that. But we did not come here on purpose.

Kenshin: We went to check this real bright light and when we did we ended up here.

Kakashi: I see. Just as I thought. You can untie the girl now.

*A big thing of smoke appear in front of Kakashi*

*The smoke lifts and thru it Naruto appears*

Kakashi: You..idiot..

Naruto: Here I am! The great Naruto here to save the day.

Naruto: I'll take care of this guy easy.

Kakashi: There's no need to....

Naruto: Don't worry, I have a great plan. *Transform* Sexy No justu!

Naruto: *In sexy woman's voice* Hello Kind sir....

Kenshin: ORO?! *bonk* *falls to the ground*

Naruto: *changes back* HHAHAHAAHA! That was great right? It works everytime!

Sakura: Naruto, stop acting like a moron! If you would listen to Sensei you would have found out they're not our enemies.

Naruto: Sakura-Chan....

Naruto: So I guess we made more friends to help take home.

Sakura: More? What do you mean?

Naruto: Well I was with Iruka-sensei after I lost tract of you guys and we found two more.

Naruto: But there not old like these two. They're teenagers too.

Kaoru: Old....

Kenshin: Calm down Miss Karou, you must think to them we must be really old.

Kenshin: My name is Himura Kenshin and her name is Kamiya Kaoru.

*Kakashi looks them over*

Kakashi: {What a strange guy. He seems real strong at one moment then harmless.}

Kakashi: {And his eyes.. the way they look, he must have been through a lot of pain in his life.}

Kakashi: {But to be succumbed so easy to Naruto is odd, for I feel his warrior's spirit. It seems his weakness is that girl.}

Kakashi: Well guys you aren't gonna like this, but you'll have to wait until the next time the chuunin exam comes around.

*Naruto and Sakura yell WHAT?!!!*

Sasuke: {So another mission huh? Watching more idiots and not going to the chuunin exam. How stupid.}

Kakashi: I think since we found them, we owe a duty to them to be the ones to help them get home.

Kakashi: Of course I will have to run it by the 3rd. If we're lucky, maybe it can be postponed until we get back.

Naruto: Fine, but I wont promise to enjoy the company.

Sukura: Believe me Naruto, neither will I!

*Kenshin gives them a big smile his eyes slanted in content* ^_^

Kakashi: We might be traveling together. So we will tell our names also.

Sukura: {*Inner voice: What with this guy with red hair? He sure smiles a lot. ...Kinda freaks me out!}

Kakashi: I am Hatake Kakashi, and these are my students. Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura ,and the other one you have already met is Uzumaki Naruto.

Naruto: Hmmmmm *Naruto walks off*

Kakashi: Where are you going?

Naruto: Hehe, I'm going to convince Iruka-sensei to buy me some ramen! I'm hungry!

Kenshin: *Sighs* *growlll* Oh, I seem to be a little hungry myself. {Stupid Sanosuke.. stealing my money, now I have no money to spend with. That's if I could spend it here.}

.....................................................................................................................................

Sanosuke: Mmmm! this is really good. Too bad they missed out.

Yahiko: Don't you think its weird Sano?

Sanosuke: Yes, it is odd its been awhile. And they would never skip a meal, especially since its Kenshin's money.

Yahiko: The only time they would...

Sanosuke: Oh no! What if something happened? I'm such a idiot! I should have thought it weird them being gone so long awhile back.

Sanosuke: Come on lets go they could need our help!

Yahiko: OK!

..............................................................................................................................

Naruto: *Talking to himself* So which ramen should I have today?

Naruto: Hmmm such a hard decision. Huh? Who's there? *Looks up at a tree* {Oh its that guy again! What does he want?}

Inuyasha: *In a soft voice* Naruto... can we talk?

Naruto: ...

Naruto: *In a confused voice* Uhh Sure.

*Inuyasha jumps down from the tree*

Inuyasha: About earlier... *looks away a bit, folding his arms* I didn't mean nothin' by it.

Naruto: ....

Inuyasha: You see where I'm from, youkai are common and most are good for nothings.

Inuyasha: I know what it's like for everyone to hate you. You shouldn't be treated like that either.

Inuyasha: I was and am still hated by humans because I'm hanyou and no youkai takes me seriously because I'm a half breed.

Inuyasha: Enough of my sappy story! *growls a bit, turning away a bit more still, as if ready to leave* What I'm getting at is... I'm sorry, alright? No hard feelings.

Inuyasha: I'm Inuyasha.

Naruto: *Big grin* {Wow he sure is different. But he does seem to understand me more than most people.}

Naruto: I AM UZUMAKI NARUTO!

Inuyasha: *Smirks, liking the guy's attitude* Let's just keep this between us. The other's don't know what it's like, so we'll keep them out of it.

Naruto: Sure.

Inuyasha: I don't need Kagome thinkin' I've gone soft or nothin'.

Naruto: Let's find Iruka-sensei. I'm starved!

Inuyasha: Same here. So what'd you guys have to eat around here?

Naruto: Ramen!

Inuyasha: *Hi eyes hide as he hops out of the tree* That stuff that comes in those cups?!

Naruto: *Grins like only he can and adjusts his gakure* This is far better than that instant stuff!

*Later that night when Naruto and his new friends were all good and full*

Naruto: I've decided that our 4 new guests should stay at my house for the night.

Naruto: 'Til everything gets figured out. I live by myself so they wont disturb anybody.

Kakashi: Sounds like a good idea. But Sukura and Sasuke have to stay too and help guard.

Naruto: Sukura Chan....*blushes*

Sakura: Sensei, is there any other way? {Stay in Narutos house at night?!! Whats this world coming to!}

Kakashi: Don't worry, I'll check in later.

*Kakashi disappears*

Sasuke: Hmph. {I was gonna train tonight.) I have better things to do.

Naruto: What! Shut up! Come here and face me! I'll kick your butt!

Sasuke: Go ahead and try dead last!

Kenshin: Kaoru.... You know how your supposed to find good in all situations?

Kaoru: What were you thinking?

Kenshin: I thought this might be like a vacation.....but its just like home *points at Naruto and Sasuke fighting* *Sighs*

Kaoru: Your right. So maybe we should we make ourselves at home.

Kenshin: Huh?

*Bonk* *Smack* *Bang*

*Karou dusts off her hands*

Kenshin: *Oro* ....owww what was that for?

Kaoru: Pay back for looking at that Naked woman earlier. You pervert!

Kenshin: But Miss Karou...
