I do not own any of naruto. The only thing I own is my OC Sora. Thanks for reading! Please Review!

Sora reached down and pulled on a pair of dark grey pants. The staff had provided her clothes to leave in. Her old ones were thrown out due to the condition of which they were in. She slipped on the black t-shirt and sighed. Not her style of clothes, but beggars couldn't be choosers. She didn't have any money let alone extra clothes, so she was grateful. She turned the sink on and splashed water on her face letting the shock wake her up even more. She was finally released from the hospital. She had been stuck there for four days. She had regained a lot of her strength and color had returned to her face.

Suddenly a loud crash was heard down the hallway and voices yelling. Sora jumped and turned around and raced to the doorway. She stuck her head around the corner and saw four figures. One lying face first on the ground and the others looking at him in disdain. The female was yelling something about being more careful. 'What an odd group...' She sighed and went back into her room. She sat on her bed and waited for the nurse that was to let her go.

Then the four were standing in her doorway. Sora looked at them in confusion. The three younger ones stood in front of a male shinobi with white hair. The far left boy looked bored out of his mind. The girl on the right just looked mad and anxious, an odd combination. And the boy in the middle was almost jumping up and down. Sora opened her mouth to ask what was going on when...

"I AM NARUTO UZUMAKI! I'M GOING TO BECOME THE NEXT HOKAGE! BELIEVE IT!" the yellow-haired boy yelled. Sora jumped up alarmed at the sudden noise. The pink haired kunoichi nailed him on the head.

"Naruto you idiot! YOU CAN'T JUST YELL AT SOMEONE YOU HAVEN'T MET!" She roared at the sad looking Naruto. Sora sweat dropped. 'Who are these weirdos...' The kunoichi looked at her and smiled. A completely different character. "I am sorry. I am Sakura Haruno. We didn't mean to cause such a ruckus." She apologized. Sora just blinked, stone-faced. Then regrouped herself.

"Ah, It's okay. I am Sora Hayashi. Pleased to meet you Naruto, Sakura." She answered nodding to each of them. She then looked at the solemn-looking boy.

"Go on, don't be shy. You wanted to come too." The masked ninja nudged him. A light red dusted the boys cheeks.

"Sasuke Uchiha." He said looking off to the side.

"I am Hatake Kakashi. Their sensei." The masked man gave her an eye closed smile. Sora just stared at the four. They began to fidget in the silence.

"You are all very weird," Sora stated bluntly. They all fell over. Sakura began blaming Naruto for irritating Sora. Soon all three of the small shinobi were arguing amongst themselves. Sora laughed at the scene in front of her. Her voice floated over them causing them to still. They all just looked at her. She smiled at them gently.

"So what do I owe the pleasure of such guests?" she smirked at her visitors. The boy in the middle jumped up.

"Kakashi-Sensei saved you while we are a mission!" Naruto joyfully said. Sora looked over at the said masked ninja. His hand was behind his head and he had a closed eye smile.

"Thank you very much, Kakashi." Sora mumbled. Kakashi blushed at her soft voice.

"Ah, No problem at all," he replied casually. She grinned at him. Just then the nurse arrived with her papers.

"Sign these. Then leave." The nurse curtly said as she shoved her papers at Sora the stalked out of the room. The four ninja were shocked at the sound of her voice.

"What is wrong with the nurse!? That was so rude!" Naruto wailed waving his arms around. Sora motioned for him to calm down.

"It is alright I am used to it. Not many people are fond of those who are different." She said as she signed the release form. She placed it next to her bed. They were looking at her oddly but she took no heed to it. She stood up and walked toward them. She eyed them curiously. "Um. Can I leave?" She asked shyly. The four noticed they were blocking the door. They immediately scurried out so that she could exit. These kids were very odd.

"Okay, time to go finish our missions. Let us go." Kakashi ordered.

"Bye Sora!" Naruto yelled while waving his hand back and forth. Sora smiled and waved back at the excited boy. He was adorable. Soon they were out of sight. Sora sighed. They were certainly interesting.

"Uh, Miss Sora?" A male voice sounded from beside her. She jumped. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately. She looked over at a young man with a scar across his nose. She nodded at him. "I am Iruka-Sensei, and I will be your instructor for the next month." He informed her. Her eyes shone with excitement.

"When do we start Iruka-Sensei!?" She leaned in, closer to his face.

"Uh, Tomorrow. 8 am. But first I am to escort you to your new apartment. It isn't super nice but it is better than nowhere." He said smiling. She nodded and gestured for him to lead the way. He began walking at started to point out things about their village. It was very beautiful. She should have run off long ago. The streets were lively and bustling about. So many vendors lined the streets, selling things from food to pottery. Sora was having a great time. Occasionally, Iruka-Sensei would point out places of interest, weapons shop, clothes shop, grocery, and more. Eventually, they came up to a small apartment complex. Iruka stuck a key in the door and stepped inside. It was quaint. The walls were empty and there was a huge lack of furniture. There was a table with two chairs for a dining room and a small couch. He led her around and there was a small room down the hallway. Inside was just a single bed and a window. She could easily spruce it up with a little work. She liked it. It was hers and hers alone.

"Okay, so your apartment is paid for, once you get a profession you will only need to pay utilities. You will be getting money from the Hokage once a week in small sums to keep you covered. This is your fist one. A bit more than normal, but that is to get you started. You'll need clothes and weapons. I made a list for training, keep up on supplies." He handed her money and a slip of paper, which she assumed held the list. "Anything else?" Sora shook her head. Iruka walked to the door but before leaving he turned back around. He held out a map and her keys. "This is it. I will see you tomorrow bright and early at the training grounds. I circled it on your map." He explained handing it to her.

"Thank you very much, Iruka-Sensei." She said lowering her head in thanks to him.

"No problem Miss Sora," he said smiling kindly. He waved once then left shutting the door behind him. Sora looked at the money in her hand, and then around at her apartment. She is happy and content. She has hope for what the future will bring.
