Prologue 3:

…Two shadows running away…

…One is a female and one is a male…


It was night; the moon's light was impaired by the night's thick and dark clouds. The blonde haired boy packed his bags with his clothes and a couple of instant ramen. He shoved his bulging frog pocket inside his bag because it didn't fit inside his pocket. He sighed in relief. 'At least I have money…good thing I saved money from my missions…'

And then he turned his eyes to the picture of his Genin team and his jounin sensei. His eyes met in anger. 'No way I'm gonna take that thing with me!!! It will just remind me about bad memories…' He thought and he closed his bag. He then picked up his bag and he slung it in his shoulders. He then took a last look at his small home. He called this home because this is where he found comfort when he wanted to hide from the cold eyes of the villagers, because this is where he rested when he needed to. He cut off his thoughts and he walked out of the door…


-
Hinata rushed to her room after her talk with her father, she instantly grabbed her traveling bag and she started to bring out her clothes form her small closet. She arranged it inside her bag. After minutes of arranging, she finally finished packing her clothes up. She took the picture of Team 8 and she carefully placed it inside her bag. She sat down in her bed and she looked at her clock. 'I bet almost everyone is asleep now…' She stood up after a while and she grabbed her bag. She gathered up all her courage and she walked out of her room.

'Oh my…God please help me…you know how much I am suffering in this place…so please let me escape…please don't let my father or Neji see me…' She prayed.


Naruto silently ran in the streets. He did not want to be caught. He ran for minutes towards the east gate. When he caught sight of the gate, he stopped because he sensed someone.

"Where are you going Naruto?" A man asked. Naruto turned around and saw the silver-haired jounin standing while reading his book.

"None of your business…" Naruto said sternly.

The man stopped looking at his book and he closed it. And then he placed it inside his pouch. He looked at Naruto with his uncovered eye with seriousness. "Of course it is my business. I am Hatake Kakashi your sensei……"

"So?" Naruto asked.

"You are my responsibility so…
…"
"…If something bad happens to me, you're going to be blamed, right?" Naruto cut Kakashi off.

"Iie, that's not the only reason…" (Iie means "no")

"Don't explain anymore, Kakashi-san…" (1) Naruto cut off Kakashi once more.

Kakashi raised his uncovered eyebrow. He sighed. "Really Naruto, do you want to run away that bad?" He asked.

"Yes." Naruto said with firmness. "…And you're getting in my way." He added.

Kakashi's uncovered eye twitched. 'He really wants to run away…' Kakashi thought. "I will stop you Naruto…" Kakashi said seriously.

Naruto did a hand seal and 59 Kage Bunshins appeared.

"Oh, you think you can escape that easy, eh?" Kakashi asked. Naruto didn't respond and he stared at Kakashi very seriously.

Naruto and his Kage Bunshins broke into 3 groups. The first group headed South, the second group headed east and the third group headed west. Kakashi then made the exact number of Kage Bunshins and he and his Kage Bunshins broke into three groups too. The real Kakashi followed the group heading east. He was thinking that the real Naruto would be going there since that is the nearest gate.

After minutes of the chase with the East group, Kakashi caught up with the East group (AN: I call it 'East group' because they're heading east and I'm feeling lazy…p)

"Hey, stop this ruckus you monster!!!" An adult man walking towards the gate shouted because one of the Naruto Kage Bunshins hit him accidentally and he tripped over. One of the Kakashi Kage Bunshins stopped over and said an apology to the man. The man accepted the apology grumpily. The Kakashi East Group then began to follow the Naruto East Group with full force again. Kakashi began to punch the other Naruto Kage Bunshins and they would disappear. When the Naruto East Group almost reached the gate it split into two groups and it went into separate directions in the street away from the gate.

'He's trying to shake me off…' The real Kakashi thought. '…but that won't do Naruto…'

After minutes, Naruto East Group 1 was completely decimated, the real Naruto wasn't there. Kakashi East Group which didn't separate began following the other Naruto East group, after another couple of minutes, Naruto East Group 2 was completely decimated too… the real Naruto wasn't there too.

'What? The real Naruto isn't here?' The real Kakashi asked in his head. The Kakashi Kage Bunshins disappeared and the real Kakashi jumped up a building. After another couple of minutes, the other Kakashi Kage Bunshins joined and told him there was no Real Naruto there. The remaining Kakashi Kage Bunshins disappeared. 'Where could he be?'

Kakashi began to think hard and he recalled the man the Naruto Kage Bunshin hit. His uncovered eye widened and he clenched his fist. 'It was him, how can I be so careless?!' He then jumped down the building and he began to look for the man…in other words the real Naruto.


(This is happening at the same time, Kakashi finds and Naruto so on and so forth…)

Hinata cautiously walked through the unlit corridors of the Hyuuga Manor. She tried to avoid the moonlight that was illuminating the other parts of corridors. When she was almost near the Manor's gate she sensed someone. She stopped and she leaned at the corridor's wall. The person she sensed was walking towards her and she tried to contain her fear and hide her chakra which she was able to do.

The person then stopped walking and she sensed another one walking towards the person she sensed earlier.

"Neji, what are you doing so late at night?" A very familiar voice asked.

'It's Neji-nii san. I'm doomed!' Hinata screamed in her head.

"The council wanted to talk to me…and I just finished with that Hiashi-sama…" Neji replied with his usual cold voice.

'It's father!!! My God, I am really doomed!' Hinata thought.

"Do you sense something Neji?" Hiashi asked.

Hinata's heart raced but thank God…a cat walked out of the shadows and made its way towards where Hiashi and Neji were.

"It's only a cat, Hiashi-sama… the council told me that they wanted to discuss something with you…they are waiting at the usual room…" Neji said.

"Thank you for informing me. Tell me tomorrow morning what they discussed with you…" Hiashi then walked away. Neji stayed behind and he approached where Hinata was.

"So, what are you doing here Hinata-sama?" He asked.

"I…I was j-just t-taking a w-walk…" Hinata stuttered.

"Taking a walk so late at night?" Neji questioned her.

"I…"

"You're running away aren't you?" Neji asked. Hinata turned paler.

Hinata didn't respond and she trembled. Neji raised his eyebrows. "I'll take that as a yes…" He said.

"Are you going to stop me?" Hinata asked while a bead of sweat ran down the side of her face.

Neji stared at her and after a while; "No I won't…" He said.

"What? You won't stop me?" Hinata was startled.

"I'm telling the truth Hinata-sama…I won't stop you… you are free to go…" He said.

"Why?" Hinata asked.

"I've done several things to offend you, I am like a bird in a cage bound in this hell forever…because of that I hate the main house…and because of that I released all the anger in you…so this is the least I can do for you… Take it as my apology, Hinata-sama… At least, unlike me, you can escape and break free from this hell…" He said and he bowed down.

"Please raise your head, Neji-nii san…" Hinata said. "You are forgiven; I pretty much understand your hate…" Hinata gave Neji a warm smile.

"Thank you…" Neji said. "I suggest that you don't take the gate to leave this manor…" Neji suggested.

"Why?"

"The gate is heavily guarded at night…but the east part of the gate walls isn't… you can jump out of it… run as fast as you can and try not to get any attention at all…" Neji said.

Hinata bowed. "Thank You, Neji-nii san…" She said and she silently disappeared.

'Good Luck, Hinata-sama. May you find someone who will care for you and love outside this hell. May that someone protect you from all harm and love you with all his heart…' Neji thought and prayed to God (Is he OOC? Well that's the only time he'll be appearing at the story…I think)


Kakashi caught site of the same man he saw earlier running outside the gate carrying the bag. 'Heh, he forgot to change back…' Kakashi thought and he rushed behind the man's back. He grabbed the man by the collar and the man froze up.

"It's over Naruto, I got you now and you're not going anywhere…" Kakashi whispered.

The man then turned into Naruto.

"You've picked the wrong time to run away Naruto…" Kakashi added. He let go off Naruto. Naruto faced him and stuck out his tongue.

"What the…?" Kakashi was startled, that Naruto was another Kage Bunshin which did a Henge.

"Chikushou…where is he?" Kakashi asked out loud. 'I better use Kuchiyose…' he thought and then

BOOM

"Nani?! What was the sound?" Kakashi turned around and he saw smoke rising from Konoha. He rushed back.


… Under the shades of the trees they shall meet…

…There it would be decided whether their paths would join or not…

Naruto ran in the forest wildly to avoid Kakashi. 'Damn he'd be using his dogs anytime now…' He thought while he ran. 'I better get away from here as fast as I can…'

He ran fast. But after a few minutes he bumped into someone.

"Itai, my back hurts…" He whispered while he nursed his back.

"…Naruto-kun?" A familiar voice asked. Naruto lifted his head.

"Hinata, what are you doing here? What's that bag for?" Naruto asked.

"I have the same questions for you, N-Naruto-kun…" Hinata said shyly.

"You ran away, didn't you?" Naruto asked.

Hinata nodded.

"I don't know why but…" Naruto stood up and offered his hand to Hinata who was sitting on the ground. "There should be a good reason, right?" He grinned.

Hinata shyly took his hand and she stood up.

"How about you, did you ran away?" She asked shyly.

"I don't want to live in there anymore…" Naruto said.

There was silence.

"Aren't you going to ask why?" Naruto asked.

Hinata shook her head.

Naruto raised his eyebrows.

"You must have a good reason too right? And besides, maybe this is not the right time to tell reasons…" Hinata smiled at him shyly.

"Right, I have to get away from here…" Naruto said. "Where are you going anyway, do you have any idea where to go?" Naruto asked.

"I'm afraid I don't have any plans where to go next…" Hinata looked at the ground. "Listen, Naruto-kun…"

"What is it, Hinata?"

"Can…can I go with you?" She asked.

"That's a great idea Hinata!!!"

"So, can I?"

"Sure, why not?"

Hinata smiled.

"Come one, let's go!!!" Naruto took her by the hand.

…So it has been decided…

…Their paths have been joined as one…

…Together they shall venture through thick and thin…

…Their friendship will develop and may even be something more…

…And they don't know what the future may bring…

…Will this adventure of theirs last long?

…Or will this adventure come into an abrupt end?

… Will they be able to keep away from the hell they've ran away from?

…Or will they be just dragged back there by their destiny?

…Let's wait and see, what happens next…

…For their journey has just begun…

So there you have it! The last of the three prologues! Remember to leave a review ok?

Oh I almost forgot. I need names for certain new characters so I need a good source for Japanese names... can you suggest some sites? Leave it in your review. And could you give me some names for villages and towns... it can be made up or real... Thanks in advance...

AN:

1. Naruto has a reason for calling Kakashi just 'Kakashi-san' not 'Kakashi-sensei' anymore... I'll let him tell why in the upcoming chapters...

Till next time
