Her Name

"Well, we're going to be here for a while," Naruto said, speaking up after the twenty minute silence.

"Yes, and…?" The girl asked.

"Well, ermmm… we can get to know each other better!"

"Oh joy," Gaara sighed.

"You're just full of talk, aren't you? Well, I'm bored and I can't sleep, so why not?" The girl said, sitting up straight and looking at them. Her orange eyes shone in the dark.

"Noo," Gaara moaned.

"Ok, I'll start. My name is Uzumaki Naruto, I'm from the village hidden in the leaves, and I like ramen and this girl named Sakura. And, one day, I'm going to be the Hokage. You next Gaara," Naruto said happily, his blue eyes shining with enthusiasm.

"I hate you. My name is Sabaku no Gaara, I like no one...ermmm…and I'm the Kazekage. Joy."

"Okay. What do I say?"

"Well, what's your name?" Naruto asked her. His blue eyes picked out her frown. "Don't tell me you don't have one. If you don't, I guess our two brilliant minds could think one up," he suggested, smiling.

"It's not that I don't have one, it's that I...haven't been called it for so long."

"Okay, let's hear it," Naruto said, smiling in a friendly way.

Her orange eyes looked into his blue ones. "It's... Kikiru. My name is Kikiru."

Naruto's eyes widened. "Really? Wow, that's a pretty name."

"My last name is Itichimikarook. You wouldn't guess what my clan does…" She said, trailing off, eyes looking away from both.

Naruto was getting really interested. "Oooh, what?"

"Well, my clan is the ruling family of Sora, along with one third of the land. I'm from the third branch. In all, there are four branches and one main. I had two sisters, but I think they both died. The last time I remember seeing them was when I was four. That's when I was last called…" She said, trailing off, eyes downcast.

Naruto was looking at her with a puzzled expression. "Well, wait a minute. If you're part of the leading family, why were you made to hold the Biju?" He asked.

She glanced at him and laughed. "I'm sure that you know the way branch families are; they want more power than the main. And, well, that's what they got. But they weren't happy with it and made a show of getting rid of me, while in reality, they kept me locked down here for so many years."

"They created a monster... same here," Gaara said, speaking up after hearing their conversation.

"Believe me when I say, I feel you're pain," Kikiru said, smiling.

"Hey, hey, how old are you?" Naruto asked.

"You first," she ordered, looking at him, waiting.

"Okay. We're fifteen," he replied, smiling widely.

"Correction: you're fifteen. I'm fifteen going on sixteen this month," Gaara corrected.

"Oh. Well, I'm fourteen going on fifteen in five months," she added, smiling.

"Wow…" Naruto said slowly, counting up the years in his mind; she hadn't seen her family for ten years.

"Well, let's see. We have the Kazekage, and the Hokage to be… ermmm, I'm not so sure what those are..." she trailed off, unsure.

"Kages are village leaders who are sworn to protect their village and their people," Gaara said quietly. He was looking up at the shafts of light that were coming down from the ceiling.

"Looks like it's almost time to go," Kikiru said, standing up.
