Chapter 15: The Secret of the Ice

Glacies stood on the top of her mountain. So why didn't you tell him? The ice dragons asked her. Neither of us were ready. I wasn't ready to tell him and he wasn't ready to know. Yeah, sure you weren't! Glacies sat in the snow. Okay, I'll admit it, I'm shy. We knew it. Why do you always refer to yourselves as 'we'? The two of us don't like being one person. Glacies nodded and started to slide down the mountain. What are you doing? I'm gonna tell him.

*Scene Change*

"Un, this was easier than I thought it would be!" Deidara stood in front of Nazu. He picked him up and carried him outside. "Who are you supposed to be, un?" Glacies stood in front of him. "You don't want to know. Unless you want to get your butt kicked?" Diedara laughed, "Go ahead and try, un!" Deidara pulled out clay and fed it to his hand. "I think you need to…CHILL!" Glacies shouted as she shot a freezing wave at Deidara. Deidara dodged it and he dropped his clay.

"Put… ME… DOWN!" Nazu was cloaked in dark green chakra. He grabbed Deidara's legs and flipped around so Nazu was on his feet. "Nazu, calm down, please!" Glacies ran and wrapped her arms around him. The chakra around him started to fade. Nazu's eyes started to close as he fell back to sleep.

"That guy must have run away when Nazu pummeled him." Glacies said. She looked down at the sleeping child by her feet. "Sleep well, little brother." She picked him up and placed him back on the couch.

*Time Shift*

Nazu woke up and saw Glacies sitting in the chair in the corner. "What are you doing here, Glacies?" Nazu asked. "I saved your butt last night from the Akatsuki, so I sat here the rest of the night." She replied. "Also, I want to tell you something. Come on, let's go." She motioned for Nazu to follow.

"Nazu, I've been looking for you for a long time. It's mostly because of something that happened to us a long ago." Glacies told him. "Before you could even walk, we were separated." She turned to Nazu. "Nazu, I'm your big sister." Nazu stared at her blankly. "But I was told I was an only child." Glacies stared into his eyes, "I know it's you, I can never forget someone's eyes. Also, you didn't know about me because you were so young when they forced me away."

Naruto was running toward them and shouting, "Nazu, there you are. I was worried sick." Glacies looked to Naruto and said, "Naruto, he was with me. Nazu will never be in danger with me." Naruto nodded and rubbed Nazu's head. Nazu smiled, his facial expression asked, Are we cool? "Naruto," Glacies said, "did you keep Nazu safe all this time? Sometime, the youngest can be a handful." Naruto lifted an eyebrow, "I kept him safe but what do you mean the youngest?" Glacies smiled, "He's the youngest in the family. He's my little brother."

Naruto was as surprised as Nazu was to hear the news. "Nazu never told me he had a sister." Glacies shook her head and replied, "He didn't even know until now." A cool breeze made Nazu shiver. Glacies grabbed a jacket out of her back pocket and wrapped it around Nazu. Naruto looked at her in amazement. "I live on a mountain; you never know when you'll need a coat." She said. Naruto nodded, "Are you guys hunger?" Glacies and Nazu nodded and followed Naruto to his favorite ramen stand.

*Time Shift*

Naruto, Nazu, and Glacies sat at Ichiraku Ramen Shop. Naruto had just finished his fifth bowl of ramen. Nazu and Glacies weren't hungry. They were too busy talking. Hinata sat down next to Naruto. "Why is Glacies here?" Hinata asked. "I came to hang with my little brother." Glacies replied as she rubbed Nazu head. "He's your real brother, or related by some other thing?" Hinata asked. Glacies nodded, "Completely related."

Nazu looked at Glacies. He didn't think anyone would care about him like she did. Nazu wanted to repay her so he wrapped his arms around her. Glacies was somewhat surprised but simply returned his embrace. There were a couple of ah's from the crowd but otherwise it was completely silent. They stopped hugging and Glacies asked, "Naruto, can I at your apartment? I think Nazu would enjoy some family." Naruto nodded, "There's nowhere left to sleep though." Glacies laughed, "I don't need sleep. I could go an entire year without it!" Naruto stood up, paid and left.

"Na-Naruto, wait up!" Hinata shouted as she ran after him. "Those two are either weird or in love." Glacies said. Nazu laughed and said, "It's a little of both, but mostly love." Glacies nodded and stood up. "Come on let's go back to the apartment. We don't want to look too much like free loafers." Glacies said to Nazu. Without asking questions he stood up and followed her.

*Scene Change*

"So, how long were you here?" Glacies asked Nazu. "It was probably about a month." Nazu replied. "Well, you should get some shut eye. You never know what could happen and you don't want to be tired for it." Glacies said. Nazu nodded and closed his eyes. Glacies smiled laid back in the chair and stared at the door. She trained herself to be ready for anything. She would do anything to protect Nazu, even if it killed her.

That's it for this chapter! Again no idea for the next chapter! JUST STAY FROSTY! FIREBALL NO JUTSU!
