Plot

A story about a girl with long wavy crimson hair, Celeste who had lost her parents at a very young age not have memories of her parents but only remembers the sense of love they had given her. Celeste then came across meeting a boy of the Uchiha clan who too had lost both parents as she did and eventually became close friends. What will life hold for them? And the Challenges they face...

The Beginning

Sasuke had thought this girl is like every other girl he had come across who would stare at him, follow him around with admiration, and fantasize they would one day be married to him. Though he was proven wrong in some cases still she's not that far off similar to the girls he had come across when this girl did not act like everyone else when they had met she was more curious about him and wanted to understand him but also wanted to be friends. He had lost his family to his own brother who had killed their entire family while Sasuke had been away to only come back to his parents lying dead on the floor of their home with his brother just standing amongst their bodies, sword in hand and blood of their family trickling to the ground from the tip of his sword.

As for Celeste, she understands what it is like to lose their parents but the only difference is, she did have someone else who took her in as her own when she was but a baby. A woman who had known her parents before they were killed in the time of war along with the whole clan in the release of the Ninetail, as her parents were part of the Senju Clan along with the woman that has known them is now her mum who kept a promise with her parents if anything is to happen to them, they would want their daughter to be entrusted to their friend to raise her in their place.

Being around Celeste wasn't all that bad, he can deal with her being around him even becoming friends with her along with her other two friends she had made who had helped him from a situation he had always been having problems with. They eventually grew a bond the more the four spent time together especially attending the same Ninja Academy and practicing at the usual spot.

When the girls and the other students in the Academy tend to see the group hanging out with Sasuke they felt a sense of jealousy, especially the girls when they see the only girl who hangs out with Sasuke. There had been times when Sasuke would be picked on for being a chick magnet. But the three kids who were once strangers and now close friends will always back him up. This is why he doesn't tend to feel like he's not alone but of course, he wouldn't ever dare to admit it.

When Naruto had come into the picture, he would despise Sasuke because of his popularity, Naruto tends to feel like he is just a huge embarrassment especially when Sasuke tends to show off his knowledge and skills in front of the whole class. It's sad really for the fact of everyone would keep their distance because they were told by their parents that he was a troubled child and a monster. No one really understood why or how he ended up like that. Other than having only himself, maybe because he does not have parents? Naruto isn't so much different from Sasuke or Celeste. But Celeste still had someone in her life that took her in and made her their own.

Even though Sasuke himself thinks the blonde boy is just a nuisance and a waste of space for the Ninja Academy, with how useless Sasuke believes Naruto is. Naruto tries to prove to everyone his not useless and that he is a nobody. Celeste does not know a lot about their pain completely but she would like to believe she shares some little understanding of pain in the loss of their loved ones. She may have her adoptive mother who took her in as her own, but she will always miss her birth parents, even though as much as she wishes her parents were alive. Celeste believes that no one deserves to be alone and that they shouldn't be alone.

The first time Celeste had met the blonde Uzumaki was at night in a secluded area surrounded by trees. Celeste had been strolling around the area until she sensed someone somewhere within the trees. She followed the chakra signature until she heard someone in the distance as she approaches closer until she can see clearly. It was Naruto training by himself, teaching himself from what they had learned in classes. She can tell how hard his trying no matter how difficult it is for him, but he always gets back up and try again until he either gets it right or until he can't hack it anymore.

When Celeste saw the blonde boy fall to his knees and then he lays on his back. She wanted to check on him, seeing how much he had exhausted himself but Celeste felt it would be unwelcome. Celeste turned back to let Naruto be. Until she sensed someone else that is close by, she scanned the area and noticed another person hiding behind a tree. She could not tell exactly but she has a feeling it was someone that is aware of Naruto and has been watching him. The only other person who seem to care about Naruto from what she can recall was a certain Hyuuga girl.

Celeste turned back once more, back towards the Uzumaki boy, and walked up to him. She grabbed a bottle from her bag as she approaches and then as she knelt on the boy's side, she places the bottle against his cheek which in her expectation the boy reacted the way she thought he would. The boy freaked out a bit because he thought no one would notice he was here, that he was all alone up until she came along.

The boy now sitting up but moved back away from her to keep a distance from each other. "Wh-What are you…" Celeste sighed at his reaction and what he had said. She got up on her feet, but this time crouched as she put her weight on her feet and her calves to keep her up, resting her elbow against the top of her knees while resting her chin against the palm of her hand. She held out the bottle of water to him, waiting for him to take it so he can hydrate himself.

The boy slowly took the bottle in hand "Why...why are you doing this for me..?" he asked in disbelief. He stares at the bottle for a while before looking up at the girl in front of him. The reason he did not understand why she would do something like this when nobody else would…

"Never give up..Naruto" She tried to encourage him to continue what he has been doing, to prove to everyone that he can do what everyone else can do. Celeste stood back up and started making her way out of the woods, to let Naruto continue his training. It caused Naruto to feel like he can do anything no matter what others may think but those words would play in his mind when he was at a breaking point, it was like a boost of endurance.

After leaving Naruto for his training Celeste made her way through the forest again and turned her attention to the young Hyuga girl which caused her to jump and feel awkward not knowing how she should act but all she could feel is embarrassment. Celeste just gave the girl a nod in greeting and then left the forest to return home as her mother would probably be worried about her.

When Celeste approached home when she noticed someone in the distance at her home waiting for someone. As she got closer, she sensed the familiar chakura signature coming from this young person.

"Sasuke?" she said as she got closer to him. She sees him turn his attention toward her with a curious yet serious look on his face before he asked her a question.

"Where had you been..? Everyone was wondering if you were coming to the hangout spot" Celeste stared at him as he asked the question but she gave a small smile as she scratched her cheek with a light short giggle which caused Sasuke to raise an eyebrow towards her wondering what was funny to her. Sasuke felt clueless which is a bit annoying that he doesn't know about something but what does he know about girls except for them having to be loud and annoying "Girls…" Sasuke mumbled to himself as he turned around and started walking off. Celeste blinked a couple of times noticing he was walking away. "Are you coming? I will walk you home…" he said. Celeste heard what he said wondering why is Sasuke walking her home. What she did not know is behind his pride he feels embarrassed. He himself does not have a clue as to why he would offer to walk her home when she's capable of walking herself home. Celeste held a big smile on her face and rushed over to his side.

"Thank you Sasuke-kun" Celeste thanked him as they walked together to her household.
