The long walk home was tiring and very awkward. No one spoke or even acknowledged each other until we got back to the village. A few days later Naruto and the rest of the team went on a mission and met the 6 tails. Why does everything cool happen when I'm not there?!
Naruto layed on his bed with his face in the pillow. I wonder what's bothering him...
"What are you thinking about?" I asked.
"Nothing..." he said and went quiet again.
"I don't like it when you're quiet! It's too boring," I said and an evil grin formed on my face. "STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE! BEFORE YOU BREAK MY HEART!" No reaction out of the boy. "Oh come on, at least say it's annoying!"
"...Yeah..."
"Butt face," I said and sat on the other side of his bed.
"Hmm..." I sighed and turned out the light. He's such a butt.
The next morning I woke up and found him in the same position.
"Okay. Fine. You brought me to drastic measures... MOVE GOD DAMMIT OR I WILL FRIGGIN THROW OUT ALL YOU'RE RAMEN!" I yelled. He turned his head toward me.
"You wouldn't do that..." he said and went back to sulking. There was a tap on the window and I saw Kakashi-sensei outside.
"Lady Tsunade wants to see you two..." he said and Naruto slowly rose up. I walked out the door and met Kakashi. Naruto trailed after me, still sulking.
We walked the familiar road and came to the Hokage's office. Outside were Gamakichi and the Chief Toad... Crap I know this scene!
"What are you guys doing here?" Naruto asked. The two frogs just looked at each other.
"Don't worry, let's go," I said and followed Kakashi-sensei upstairs. We walked into Lady Tsunade's office and saw a bunch of toads, Sakura and Sai.
"So this is Jiraiya boys' student?" a small toad asked. My eyes were about to burst.
"Yes, this is Naruto Uzumaki. The child of prophecy you spoke of..." Lady Tsunade said.
"What's with this old geezer toad?"
"Naruto!" I said slapping his head. I've been waiting to do that all night! "He's higher up than the Chief Toad!"
"He's one of the Great Sages and has traveled all this way to speak with you."
"Answer me this, are you really Jiraiya boys student?
"Jiraiya boy? Who does he think he is calling him a boy?"
"He's Jiraiya's master," Tsunade said and Naruto's eyes widened.
"So... why did you come here in the first place?"
"I don't know how to start this... but the most important thing is... I'm afraid that... Jiraiya boy has died in battle."
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Jiraiya boy went to the Hidden Rain Village because he had heard the leader of the Akatsuki was somewhere in the village," he paused. "He encountered Pein. He is the leader of the Akatsuki and one of his former students."
"How did he defeat such a powerful Shinobi?" Kakashi-sensei asked.
"Because Pein possesses the Rinnengan." He started explaining the Rinnengan and I put my hands over my mouth trying not to make a sound.
"Jiraiya boy left a message right before he died," he said ripping off his cloak to reveal numbers etched into his skin.
"Maybe we can decode this..."
"You let him go, didn't you granny..." Naruto finally said.
"...That's right..."
"Why would you ever let him do something so risky?! HOW COULD YOU SEND HIM ALONE?!"
"Stop it Naruto," I said putting my hand on his shoulder only to have it shaken off.
"Dammit," he said walking out the door.
"Naruto wait!" I yelled chasing after him.
"Ashelza stop. Don't go after him, leave him be." Lady Tsunade said.
"He said he would come back..." I whispered. "I didn't get to say good bye..." tears started streaming down my face.
"He truly loved Jiraiya boy and so did you" the toad said and I cupped my face.
I went home after that and sat on the couch. I seriously wanted to rip my eyes out...
"Ashelza..." I heard before I was back in that room with the giant wolf.
"Hey Mr. Wolf..." I said fake smiling. "What up?"
"Today I have more time to talk to you! By the way my name's Hoshiko not 'Mr. Wolf'!"
"But I like Mr. Wolf better!" He growled. "Fine Hoshiko it is! What is this place like my inner world or something?"
"Pretty much yeah!"
"So what are you supposed to be? I know you're a giant wolf and all but are you my subconscious or demon like the nine-tails fox in Naruto?" He laughed.
"Kinda. Let me tell you something about your clan first." I looked up at him waiting for him to continue. "A long time ago, when your clan was just starting out, the chief elder predicted that one day a pair of twins would be born and change how life is today. Everyone in the clan wanted to have twins and be parents of the legendary twins. No such luck. Until you and Taylor were born not a single pair of twins has been born since the elders' prediction."
"What does that have to do with you?"
"I'm getting to that! All the royal family members are born with a good spirit inside them. When your mother was pregnant I was inside her and transferred to you. That's how the clan works. I'm originally from the very first clan leader himself!"
"Cools! So you're kinda both!"
"Yeah but I'm good and more epic than the nine tails! Now back to the story! Your father, the clan leader at the time, wanted twins so badly he put another spirit inside of your mother, which was transferred to Taylor. In that process your mothers' heart gave out and she died. But before she died she gave Tsunade that necklace you're wearing to give to you one day."
"You said they had another purpose earlier? What is it?"
"Let me finish the story first! Your dad raised you two and you showed excellent Shinobi skills. You could probably be in the ANBU by now if that night hadn't come..."
"The night with the fire? All I remember from that is Tsunade running through the forest with us."
"On that night, some of the clan members were ticked off that you guys were the prophecy children and they started a riot that killed all the royals and most of the clan members. Your father sent Tsunade to protect you and Taylor but the clan member caught up with her. She sent you two to a different land which happens to be a world where Naruto is a TV show! You lost your memory so I didn't do anything until I realized you guys somehow made it back here."
"So you don't know how we got here either?" I asked the giant wolf. He shook just his head.
"Now onto the necklaces. Those necklaces are made to heighten one's own physical stamina strength and even chakra. You can pretty much do any ninjutsu, genjutsu or taijustu known to the Shinobi world. Only the royals have these necklaces and only they can use them. That's why Orochimaru kidnapped Taylor and Sasuke is keeping her on his team. But there is another mode only the spirits inside the nobles know about. Each person is different, like for example the first clan leader was able to control the weather."
"AWESOME! Wait can you explain that time when Naruto went crazy and the nine tails took over him. I hugged him and he turned back to normal."
"I'm not sure but that could be the power. It could be a healing power. I don't know how you did it without the necklace..." He started to fade again. "Looks like my times up... See ya later!" he said before vanishing. I was brought back to the house. Naruto was still out and it was getting late so I went out to find him. I ran through the streets and found him on a park bench with Iruka.
"Naruto!" I yelled running up to him. "I'm so epic, I made you homemade ramen with lots of pork!"
"Hey Ashelza!" He smiled back at me.
"So this is the legendary Ashelza..." Iruka said putting out his hand. "Nice to meet you I'm Iruka. Naruto has told me all about you!" We talked for a bit more then we went back home for my ramen. We walked in silence and I debated on what to say next.
"Naruto... what if I told you I was just like you?"
"How?" he asked.
"I found out more about my clan and I'm apparently more of a badass than you or I thought!" I smiled and he smirked at me.
"Hehe you think so?"
