The Little Mute Girl

by ZabuzasGirl

Tragedy has fallen onto a loving family turning six brothers into swans. It's up to their sister Arrietty to break the transformation. For six years she must endure in silence. The sister may not endure alone. In the Hidden Leaf she meets a boy who is very much as lost and alone as she. Naruto can never replace her brothers. Perhaps she can help nurture him as he grows into a man.

"Come back here, Naruto!"

Naruto laughed in ridicule as his teacher at the Academy, Iruka chased him through the streets.

Naruto had swiped a box of chocolate chip cookies from a vendor in the marketplace. He learned in passing that Arrietty had a particular fondness for them. She'd been working really hard lately and he wanted to make her feel better a little.

Iruka chased Naruto around most of the village. Naruto didn't want to lead him back to Arrietty's hollow so he needed to think of something to lose him.

Naruto ended up using a Substitution Jutsu. Seeing the log that replaced Naruto in the trap he set up Iruka went off after him in a direction he thought Naruto had gone.

Fully believing he lost Iruka, Naruto headed for his destination.

Unknowingly Iruka had figured out what Naruto was up and was in hiding while he'd sent off a clone.

Time to see what Naruto was doing with all the stuff he stole.

Happy New Year!

Hope this is a good start to a brand new year!

Just to let you guys know I'll be sending my laptop in to get my battery changed today from now. It's highly unlikely I'd be getting it back before a week is out afterwards. Fortunately there are a couple of story's I can update without the use of my Itunes so you'll still get updates for certain story's. I'll do my very best for the rest. That's all I can promise.
