Crystal Inferno: All right, this is a cool wicked story that features Inari! And that little girl from the wave country, Adaha (the one Sakura gives candy too…) Anyways, I was really sad that there were no stories about Inari, so I'm going to write a romance and an action story (kind of…) Don't worry I'll be posting my other stories regularly because it's summer and I can do that! By the way, this is like 8-10 years into the future (Naruto's like 20 or something…) I'll place details on the whole crew later. Anyways, on to the story!

A young girl, although ravenous, was running from a pair of men, their clothes dirty and their eyes filled with lust. They were the typical scumbag hobos she had to live with everyday. She had her friendly homeless people that she 'lived' with, but there were the men…who acquired more than shelter and food. They were desperate for physical contact, whether it be a fight, or rape.

"Get away! Please, indulge in someplace else." Or someone else…The girl yelled, and thinking a rather evil thought, at the figures slowly approaching her. That was mistake, however. Her breath caught, she tripped, and fell upon the dirty street that she had ran in. She was about to get up, when she heard the sleazy voice of one of the men from behind her.

"You're a real tough whore, you know," the man glazed over the dirty words with a seductive tone, but only made him seem more repulsive. "If you weren't so pretty, I wouldn't waste my time…but you're so young, 15 right? Still a virgin, still pure…I craze your innocence…" he placed his hand on her face, and she immediately was caught by his stare. So cruel…so sex-crazed it was hypnotic. Running for so long, but she was finally caught. She never wanted to be raped, all the other homeless girls she lived with knew about the torture it brought upon. They had been raped before, and had nightmares, were raped again as they were seen as helpless victims, and some even conceived children (which was exactly what they needed…another mouth to feed besides their own.) She didn't want to be raped…she wanted her innocence and virginity retained.

Please…someone help me…let me keep what little dignity I have…the girl thought helplessly as the man's face was getting closer to her face.

"Hey, don't forget the deal!" the other barked at his companion, "You get the virginity, and I get the kill…"

Oh my God! They're going to kill me! She thought numbly and hysterically within the walls of her mind. In that instant she screamed, high-pitched and hoping some aid would come. She would not lose her virginity, not like this.

The man in front of her smacked her with some force, causing her screams to halt. "Shut your damn mouth, you slut. Yet, I wouldn't mind a little resistance…" his voice trailed off, but as soon as he was about to press his hungry lips against her own, a small knife came crashing down to the floor, causing the lust filled motives to stop.

"Get away from her," a voice came from above. The frightened maiden looked up and noticed a young boy, slightly older than her, with spiked black hair, and fierce, intense black eyes that were filled with disgust, every figment lying on the two men. She couldn't make out anything else, as he came jumping from the two-story building and landing a foot away from the man who did not hold the girl. In an instant, the young man threw his fist into the bum's face, smashing him into the wall.

"Now…if you don't want that to happen to you, I suggest you get away from the girl before anything else occurs…" the teenager stated rather calmly.

The man stood up, releasing the girl and letting her fall to the ground. He ran in the other direction, jumping over the alley wall and out of sight.

The young man's emotionless face faded and in its place was a cheerful grin with eyes filled with enthusiasm. He looked at the girl with a smile plastered on his face and stated "Well, not that that's over, why don't I take you home?" He raised his hand in front of her, yet she looked at it incredulously. Although he had saved her from rape and death, how could she truly know to trust him? Then, she noticed the necklace around his neck. It was a ninja headband, the Hidden Village of the Mist's symbol placed in the middle. A ninja, she could definitely trust. She met her hand with his, and he quickly pulled her up. She was surprised by the force and she fell into his arms. Both began to blush and stepped away from each other, unsure of what to do after such an awkward moment.

The maiden was first to recover from her embarrassment and quickly said "So…you were going to take me home?"

He recovered soon after and rushed and nodded "Yes! Of course!"

Soon, they began walking the streets of the village of the inhabitants. Yet, the maiden was definitely curious about this boy…he had saved her life after all. What else would she be?

"Um…thanks for the help back there. If you hadn't showed up…something was bound to happened…" the girl stated, her voice deathly quiet. She was extremely thankful, yet she was still in awe in what was happening around her: attempted rape, a savior, close contact…everything was spiraling through her head.

"No problem. A ninja's duty is to protect the innocent…although we don't get paid for the heroics!" the boy joked, his face smiling into the sun. Yet, his face became serious as it had before "Anyways, I have always been taught that if you have something precious to you, you must live to protect it with both arms. That is my shinobi way, and all innocent that deserve to live…this village is precious to me, and I will not see it corrupted and tainted by low lives."

The maiden looked at the boy with wide eyes. He was certainly knowledgeable, and she couldn't help but blush at his statement. She had never met such a noble figure….

"By the look of your clothes, something tells me that you don't have a home. Am I correct?" the boys questioning snapped her out of her daze.

"Yes…I have no home…I haven't had one for quite awhile…" the girl frowned. What would he think of her now? He was a ninja, and she was just some lowly street rat…

"That's alright, my mom andI will give you board." The boy said without a doubt. The girls' eyes grew wide and she nearly gasped "Really?"

The boy merely nodded, as though it was not a problem. The young maiden, however, had small tears streaming down her face. A home. Could she possibly accept such hospitality?

"Are you alright?" the boy asked, worried, "Don't worry, I'm sure my momand the others living therewill accept you, you don't have to cry-"

He was cut off by her choking words "Tha-ank y-y-you, f-for your k-kind-ness." She would live somewhere in for the first time in almost nine years…

"It's alright,mom and Igive board to every stranger that comes along the way. Like me, they know that precious people live inside this village." He looked at the sky once more, and she seemed to realize that he was seeking guidance. Perhaps from one that departed from his life.

"By the way…what's your name?" the boy stated in a far away voice, staring at the cerulean sky.

"Adaha," the girl responded, looking at his handsome features reflecting off the sun.

"That's pretty. Call me Inari…Adaha."

Crystal Inferno: Well, how was it? I hope you liked it. …But I thought that I rushed into things (it seemed she was getting over her shock to quickly, but she had had those run ins before!) Inari's past events (like entering the Mist academy and everything…) will be spread throughout the chapters and Adaha's will slowly come along. Overall, I hope you enjoy the first (actual!) fan fiction of Inari! And please review as it is most appreciated!
