Izanami watched as her heavenly partner dipped his sword in the ocean brine and stirred. When he pulled out the spear and the brine that dripped of it formed the great nation of Japan. As those of you familiar with the Shinto religion know, Izanami died giving birth to a God of Fire. What happens when Izanami's reincarnation falls in love with the reincarnation of said Fire God? Well, it happened back in Japan's Feudal Era. A young Samurai named Sasuke Uchiha was a fire-bender. He was a reincarnation of Homusubi, the fire god mentioned earlier. Sasuke tied his long black hair up in a dark colored ribbon and adjusted his Kimono. He made sure his Geta were on good and then he set out to find the woman he had been arranged to marry. The bride he sought was from the Haruno-Clan. That Clan lived in a village far from his own. It would be a long journey. He had heard many stories of the beautiful Geisha, and her many talents. He couldn't believe he was to be married to a Geisha. Of course his father had not known the girl would become a Geisha when he arranged for the two to marry. That had been decided when they were infants. There was nothing wrong with Geisha, Sasuke had met many kind ones. They were wonderful at what they did. Geisha's were professional hostesses and entertainers. The problem was that they were horribly misunderstood. Many were under the wrongful impression that Geisha's were prostitutes. Sasuke's father told him that for the sake of the Uchiha-Clan's reputation, he must bring his bride to be home and find her a new job.
He tied his Sugegasa securely to his head as the wind picked up. He looked at the name his father had had tattooed on his forearm the day he was born. It said "Sakura" the name of the bride he sought. He would know he'd found her when he met the girl with his name tattooed in the same place. It took him nine days to reach her village. On the fifth day he stopped at a farm for rest. He lay and fell asleep in a bed of straw. When Sasuke awoke a boy with blonde hair and gentle blue eyes was staring at him.
"You, child. It's late. Have you're parents any sense?" The boys eyes saddened.
"My parents are dead, sir." Sasuke felt bad for the child.
"What's your name son?" He smiled slightly.
"Uzumaki, Naruto. And yours is?"
"Uchiha, Sasuke." The blonde boy bowed.
"Pleased to meet you, Uchiha-Sama." Sasuke was feeling generous and a tad lonely so he smirked at Naruto and shook his hand.
"C'mon. I'm not leaving an orphan out here alone. You're coming with me." Naruto grinned and bowed again.
"Your kindness show's no end, Uchiha-Sama. Domo Arigato."
"Hmph, stop calling me that. I will allow you to call me Sasuke."
"That is an honor, Sasuke-Sama." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Don't be a kiss ass. Now come on, I have somewhere to be." Then Naruto got curious.
"Where are we going?"
"To find my bride." Being the kid that he was, Naruto scrunched up his face.
"You're looking for…romance?" He seemed disgusted.
"One day you will understand." Naruto shook his head.
"Nope, romance isn't for me. I'm gonna be the greatest warrior ever known one day." Sasuke wanted to laugh in Naruto's face.
"Hn. Some dream." And with that they made their way into the next village.
