Chapter 4

Chapter 4 is finally here! heh heh...

It was a new day, the sun was rising, birds were chirping, and the air was so brisk and refreshing. Sakura was wide awake, and she was helping the women with breakfest, Sasuke was training very hard outside, Kakashi was reading his book, and Naruto was still sleeping and dreaming about ramen. The women's name was Chika and she went out to buy some ingredients, while Sakura woke up Naruto and told everyone that breakfest was ready.

"Naruto! Wake up!" Sakura hollered.

"5 more minutes," Naruto said while he covered himself with the blanket.

"Wake up you lazy blockhead!" Sakura screamed as she was about to punch him.

"Ok, ok! I'm up already! geez!" Naruto mumbled.

Sakura went to the back were Sasuke was trying to master all of his jutsus. He worked so hard that sweat was falling from his forehead to his chin.

"Sasuke? Time for breakfest," Sakura said.

"I already ate, and tell Kakashi I'm going out," Sasuke said in a cold voice.

"Why?" Sakura asked.

"I need a better place to train than this cramped up place," Sasuke said.

"Oh, but are you going now?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah," Sasuke said plainly as he approched the front and walked off. Sakura went back in and told Kakashi that Sasuke went out and would come back a few hours. Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi sat down and ate thier breakfest, while they were eating their food, the door opened. All of them looked up, it was Chika with bags in her hand and she placed them on the table.

"Good morning everyone. Did you all have a nice sleep?" Chika asked.

"Yup! I had a dream about swimming in ramen!" Naruto said cheerfully.

"I had a dream too! I dreamnt about..." Sakura paused as a blush entered her face, but everyone knew who she dreamnt about.

"That's good to hear that everyone had a peaceful sleep," she said as she looked around.

"Wasn't there four of you?" Chika asked.

"Yes, but he went out," Sakura answered.

"Oh, I see," She said.

"So did you figure out who May reminded you of?" Kakashi suddenly spoke.

"Yes! The matter of factI did. I even saw her today at the market place. She is that poor girl that lives in the alley between those two buildings," Chika spoke.

"What? So she lives on the streets? Does she have parents?" Naruto asked.

"No, I'm afraid not. She did have the old man, but he passed away about 6 years ago, I'm not quite certain," Chika answered.

"B-but why wouldn't she tell us," Sakura said.

"I don't know but I'm going to find out!" Naruto yelled and walked out the door.

Sasuke was looking around the village if there would be a place to train, so he can become stronger and have revenge on his older brother. He used to look upto his older brother, but now things were different. He walked to the market place and saw a man beating up on someone, he walked over to that direction to see what was going on.

"No stealing girl! You know the rules!" A man said while kicking her and punching her, but the girl said nothing.

The man stopped and got melon from her hands. He grabbed it and the girl ran.

"Poor girl, maybe I was a little hard on her," The man said to himself while putting the melon back where it belonged.

"Why were you beating up some kid?" The man turned around and saw Sasuke leaning on a wall.

"Huh? Oh, That girl that ran off was stealing, and when you steal, you get punishment for stealing. And plus this village is poor, so we can't afford any pickpockets." The man said.

"I see," Sasuke said and walked off to the girl's direction.

As Sasuke was walking, he realized this was the same street he passed yesterday and where they met with May in an alley. He looked around but nothing intrested him, so he headed back. As he was about to turn around, he heard cats meowing in the same alley as yesterday. He walked towards the alley and saw May talking to herself while petting the kittens. She had bruises on her arms and legs and her right eyelid was swollen from her punishment because she was stealing.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get breakfest today," May spoke.

"But next time I will get the best peice of fruit and all four of us can share it!" May said while smiling at the three kittens. While she was patted each one on the head she heard something. To her, it sounded like little, tiny bells. She turned around and walked up to where she heard the sound, but no one was there. She looked around trying to find the person, but instead, she found gold coins on the hard pavement.

"Money! I can buy two loafs of bread with this!"She said as she picked up the money and jumped up and down cheerfully. When she had stopped jumping, she closed her eyes and whispered... "Thank you."

As Sasuke was walking back, he heard footsteps infront of him. He looked up and saw Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi running up to him, he stopped walking for a brief moment and waited for them to catch up.

"Hey everybody! There's Sasuke," Sakura said as they finally caught up with Sasuke.

"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked rudely.

"None of your concern, loser," Sasuke said in his icy voice.

"I dare you to say that again, you bastard!" Naruto yelled.

"Hn... whatever," Sasuke snorted.

"Bring it on pretty boy!" Naruto yelled as he rolled up his sleeves. As Naruto and Sasuke were arguing, Kakashi looked up and saw May coming towards them.

"Hey look! There's May," Kakashi pointed out. Everyone turned around to see May and yelled her name.

May was walking back to the market place so she can buy food with the money she found. She looked at the coins. She wondered how much there was and who left it there. While she was trying to count the money, she heard someone call her name. She looked up and saw the same people from yesterday that let her tag along with them. She waved and ran towards them. When she finally caught up with them, they were shocked. She looked terrible, bruises all over her and her eyelid was swollen.

"What the hell happened to you!" Naruto exclaimed.

"I was trying to get food," May answered.

"Stop lying! We know that your a street kid, and you have no parents!" Naruto yelled.

"Shut up Naruto. She's telling the truth," Sasuke spoke.

Naruto turned to Sasuke direction, "How do you know?" Naruto asked.

"When I was walking around, I saw her at the market place, trying to steal food, but she got caught," Sasuke answered.

"That still doesn't explain half the story!" Naruto yelled. May walked up to Naruto and looked at him face to face and spoke... "I-I'm sorry Naruto I didn't tell you s-sooner, after all the things you and your friends did for me, I should have at least told you something..."

Naruto's anger had faded, and didn't know what to say. Instead of feeling guilty, Naruto acted like his cheerful, childish self.

"Don't be so hard on yourself! And don't you dare give me all that sappy stuff!" Naruto said playfully, while he grabbed May into a headlock and nuggied her.

When they were done laughing and fooling around, Naruto asked, "You still have to tell us your story," Naruto said a bit more serious.

May nodded and lead them back to the alley.
