I still don't own Naruto….
Chapter 3 The Story
Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, and Naru all sat in a circle, in the Sakura's room. Naruto began,
"Well, you all know the story of the Kyuubi and everything…About a year before I was born, our parents had Naru. She was only a year when my parents died, and I was chosen to…."
Naruto winced, but continued.
"Naru was taken away, to another village. So for a few years, I didn't even know I had a sister. Then, when I was 8, Naru found me again, and we lived together for a few months. Then, she was…. Also chosen…."
Sauske interrupted,
"What do you mean, also?"
Naruto sighed, and Naru looked sad,
"In the village she was at, they were preparing her to be ready to be a human container. They wanted to seal away Ooron, a giant wolf demon. You see, the village she was at was also being tortured by a monster. But they had time to prepare, and they had chosen Naru, because she was the child with the largest chakra. When she was 12, she was going to be the body they sealed Ooron in."
Naru cut in,
"I was able to tell my brother this, and I also told him I was to be killed, or imprisoned forever…. The village leader said that I must be set apart from everyone after ward, so the monster could no longer get out."
She gave Naruto a pained look, though she smiled at the memory,
"I told him that if he wanted to save me, he would have to become a ninja. So when he finally becomes one, he might be able to rescue me from my imprisonment."
Naruto grinned sadly,
"She told me I'd have to be strong, that only the Hokage could save her."
They all sat in silence,
"So there was more than glory to his reason for wanting to become Hokage."
Thought Kakashi. He tipped his head, and said,
"How did you end up working at a restaurant, if you were banished, or supposedly killed?"
"The head villagers son took pity on me, and convinced his father to only banish me from the village, and if I could learn to control Ooron, I could come back."
Sakura giggled,
"Sounds like he had a crush on you!"
Naru also laughed.
"I know he did! We were to marry when I came of age, but it turns out I was to be the one who was sacrificed to the village."
Sasuke turned his gaze to Naru, as he had been taking in everything he was hearing,
"So you stayed with Naruto for those few months in secret?"
Naru nodded,
"I was not supposed to leave the village. I wouldn't have left Naruto after I found him again, but they found me after some time."
Kakashi smiled at Naru,
"But now you are home with your brother, and you've mastered Ooron, and everything is as it should."
Naru nodded slowly.
Naruto stretched, and yawned,
"Would you like a tour of our home, Naru?' He asked
Naru smiled,
"Of course brother!"
So Naruto took Naru around, showing her things, and introducing her to more people. After a while, they walked back over to Hinata. Naru took Naruto's hand with one of her hands, and with the other she grabbed Hinata's.
"I'm hungry, let's go somewhere so I can cook us something."
Naruto looked gleefully towards the kitchen,
"I'm so hungry! I haven't had your cooking in ages, Naru!"
Naru giggled,
"And back then, I only cooked ramen!"
Hinata chuckled softly,
"That's all Naruto-kun needs, Naru-chan."
They all laughed, and Naruto nodded,
"Ramen is all you NEEDED to make Naru!"
Hinata glanced at Naru as they walked into Naruto's house, and into the kitchen.
"Kakashi-sensei said you are an amazing chief."
Naru blushed,
"Well, people say they like my cooking…"
Naruto grabbed Naru's shoulder,
"Your cooking is GREAT! No need to be shy Naru, and whip us up some shrimp ramen!"
Naru scrunched her nose,
"Jeese, Naruto-nii, without Mama and papa, you sure didn't get very good manners!
Hinata giggled, and Naruto huffed. Naru sang under her breath as she sautéed the shrimp. Naruto hummed to a different tune, and soon their melodies melted together into one song. Hinata bobbed her head in time,
"What song is this Naru-chan, It's beautiful!"
Naruto looked to the side as Naru whispered,
"Mama used to sing it to me before I went to bed…Then I taught it to Naruto-nii"
Hinata nodded.
"Could you sing it for me?"
Naru began to sing, as Naruto hummed the melody,
"Sleep, let the dreams take you away,
Sleep my precious children,
Never let them slip away,
Forever have a star to your heart,
A twinkle in your eye,
And don't let your frown ruin your spirit
Let this song guide your soul
No matter how down you are
Smile, and think of your dream
Keep it near,
But for now,
Just sleep,
Sleep my precious children,
And hold your hope close."
Hinata looked in awe at the siblings. Naru's voice slipped in and out of tune with Naruto's humming, and Naruto kept his sound loud, yet soft. They were in perfect harmony. Naru sang as she tossed the shrimp, her eyes softly closed, and Naruto tapped his finger on the table, his eyes were also closed. Just as abruptly it was there, the magic was gone. They opened their eyes, and it was silent. They were both in their thoughts. Hinata put a hand on Naruto's shoulder, because he was shaking lightly. He turned away, but did not shake her away. Naru turned to Hinata. She was smiling brightly, but the corners of her eyes were wet with tears,
"Mama always taught us to keep smiling, and it's getting hard for Naruto-nii right now, and he doesn't want you to see him sad…"
Naruto quickly turned around to stare at Hinata,
"But I'm ok, just thinking."
He was also smiling, but Hinata saw his eyes were also slightly wet. To break the awkward silence, Naru brought over the bowls of ramen. She grinned,
"Eat up, and tell me what you think!"
They began to eat, and they both had huge grins on their faces,
"Amazing is right!" Said Hinata.
Naruto slurped his noodles loudly, and gave his sister a hug,
"I've missed your great cooking Sis!"
They all laughed, and continued to eat.
A/N- ok, A little sad. Poor Naru… Poor Naruto… Poor Cheese!… Oh wait, that doesn't fit! Lol. Hope you enjoyed it.
