Kisoku woke up, she felt different, but she was still on the cold, hard ground, it wasn't wet though. "I must have hallucinated last night, honestly, seeing obaasan, that could never happen...." She opened her eyes and saw, much to her surprise; she was surrounded by a forest that wasn't there the night before. "AAAHHHHHH!" Her scream caused birds to fly away from the disturbance and she slapped a hand over her own mouth, what if there were wild animals out there that were hungry? She had just alerted them of her presence in a very loud way. She heard a twig snap, and she slowly and shakily turned, eyes wide, frightened and slightly red and puffy from her crying the night before. 'Kami-sama.' She finally saw where the sound originated from, and sighed in relief, one hand over her pounding heart. In front of her was a boy, who couldn't be older than twelve, looking at her, blue eyes full of curiosity. They just stared at one another for a moment, before the boy sat down right in front of her and gave a foxy grin.
"Hi, I'm Naruto, who are you?" Kisoku looked at the boy in shock, she would never talk to a complete stranger. 'But.... I guess I don't look threatening in the least.' She sighed. "My name is Kisoku, nice to meet you." She said, holding out a hand, the boy looked at it for a moment, as though no one had shook his hand before, but then he grabbed it and gave it a strong shake. "Nice to meet you to, you're not from around here are you?" He asked, his mood suddenly seeming to darken, Kisoku wondered what could possibly get the perky boy so depressed. "No, why?" "Cause if you were you'd hate me." Naruto said, bangs covering his eyes, Kisoku didn't know why, but she had the feeling she had to protect this boy, Kisoku crawled forward and hugged him. Naruto seemed shocked for a moment, but returned the hug.
"Why would someone hate a cute kid like you?" She asked, ruffling his hair fondly, being careful not to screw up his goggles. Naruto brightened a bit. "I'm not to sure, but Iruka-sensei likes me, an one day, they'll all respect me, I'll become Hokage!" He thrust a fist into the air. "I think you need to explain some things to me Naruto." She grabbed hold of her bag as they started walking through the forest to the hidden leaf village, Naruto talking all along the way.
Naruto grabbed her hand and lead her through the town, ignoring the glares sent in his direction, Kisoku cringed, she would have died from this cold treatment in one day, and this poor boy endured it his whole life? It made Kisoku uncharacteristically angry, and she barely head when Naruto announced that they were at the Hokage's office. She looked at the building and gulped, she was timid, she couldn't help it if her instincts were screaming Run! RUN! Naruto lead her up to the office. "Hopefully that closet pervert isn't here." Naruto muttered. She wondered if she really wanted to know who this closet pervert guy was.
"Yo chuuko jin." (old man) Naruto called out to an elderly man smoking a pipe and... holding a crystal ball? 'This place is weird.' Kisoku thought, ninja's, evil people, and no democracy, well, it didn't sound like a democratic system to her.
"What is it that you want Naruto? And who is this?" The Hokage asked as he looked at Kisoku, who wished she was a little child so she could hide behind Naruto, and even though she wasn't she stepped back slightly. "This is Kisoku...."
And not even an hour later Kisoku was an official citizen of the leaf village, it was such a hectic day that it was only when she was looking at her papers that she noticed something new. "Kami-sama!" She looked at the ring, it all added up, she hadn't been hallucinating! It was a ring that matched her necklace, and then she came here and her grandmother had been talking about love and betrayal or something of the like, she must have been sent here, to love again. 'But can I let my heart trust someone after it's been shattered so thoughtlessly?' Naruto looked at her curiously. "What?" "Nothing." Kisoku continued staring at the ring, it had a simple design, a silver band with a tear drop shaped ruby. 'Obaasan, I miss you so much.' She sighed, she was now going to live in an apartment, one right beside Naruto. She was happy with this, she had never really had a friend, and even though he was five years younger than her, he seemed like he would make a great friend, which way why she was concerned as to why he had no friends and why everyone seemed to hate him, except for this Iruka character.
"This'll be so cool Kisoku-san!" Naruto said happily, Kisoku blushed, no one had ever added san to the back of her name before, of course, she no one respected her enough to do so. "Just call me Kisoku Naruto-chan." She said and Naruto pouted. "How about Kiso-chan?" He asked. "Alright then, Naru-chan." They grinned and chit chatted for a while, but it was soon late and Kisoku shooed Naruto off to bed like an over protective elder sister.
Over the next two days Naruto gained some head band thing that he seemed very proud of, and Kisoku met Iruka. So far only he, Naruto and the Hokage new of her existence, or at least who she was, she did go outside, she wasn't hermit material. When it came time for Naruto's first mission out of town, protecting a bridge maker or something like that, Kisoku was so worried, she had no clue where they were going or how long it would take to get him there and back, but in her mind it was taking way to long. When Naruto came back she hugged him as soon as he got home and took him out for some ramen, she had no clue how the boy could be obsessed with one food product, but she had to admit, it was rather tasty, but she made a mental note to get Naruto to eat more nourishing and healthy food.
It was around a week later, Naruto was preparing for some exam thing, she forgot what it was called, chuunin? Something like that, everyday he'd come home from training with pervert sennen, they'd often talk about his training, and his teacher, Kakashi and his teammates. Kisoku noticed his obsession w9th Sakura and wondered if she'd ever be like that over a guy again. He told her about how Sasuke was an evil wuss and how he'd beat him soon. And then he told her about Kakashi's book, Come Come Paradise, Kisoku didn't understand how a book could be perverted, but, then again, she didn't know a lot, at least to herself, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to know about this Come Come Paradise book.
The day of the written exam came, she whished him the best of luck and crossed her fingers the whole time he was writing the test. Then was some part where they had to go into a forest and get a scroll. Kisoku was worried during that duration of time, Naruto was gone, and she had no way of contacting him. What if he was lost, or scared, or hurt, or dead, or sick? Kisoku new she was over reacting, but she couldn't help herself, it was natural for her to be concerned, Naruto was a little brother to her, and she wanted him safe and sound.
Naruto came back from his little forest adventure, all tuckered out in the words of Kisoku, she sent him straight to bed, even though the sun hadn't set, and after that she went for a small walk near the forest. She went up to a tree and started to climb, she stared at the sun set. 'Naruto is so strong, and determined. I could never be as good as him....' The constant mental/verbal/physical abuse from her parents had taken a toll on her self esteem and soon she was silently sobbing, like that night she found out Paul was just toying with her. 'How could I have been so stupid? Even if I do fall in love, no one could ever bring themselves to love me! Especially when there are all these strong, smart, beautiful girls here. I'm average in smarts, I couldn't hurt a fly, even if I tried, and I look so plain, brown hair, brownish red eyes, and on top of that I look like a child.' All these depressing thoughts were dragging her spirits down and soon she could no longer cry, so she settled to just walking slowly back to her apartment, slouched over, looking for all the world like she was going to once again burst into tears. Once she got home she flopped on the bed, not bothering to get out of her shirt and kilt like skirt, just sleeping, no dreams came to her that night, her mind was thankfully blank, and she slept like that till the late afternoon, blissfully unaware of the world around her.
FASH: I think that wet well, remember, this timeline may not be correct because I have practically no clue what's happening except for the stuff I've read on the internet. Review!
