Chapter: 2 Cracking
Crap I'm at the wrong village. This is definitely not the Kazu village. This village is so small I don't even think it's on maps. I look around. My first impression is, well this place is the definition of atrocious. I feel a slight pang of sorrow for this village, but I can't do anything about it. When I walk by some very umm… undignified people I know I can't ask anyone for help here. So I start walking to the main part of the little town. If I actually didn't see any people on these streets I would think this place were the ruins of some sort of war. Many buildings had cracks or holes on the walls and roofs. The only place that seemed decent were the um 'pleasure' houses. 'And there is no way in hell in that I'm staying at that...Place'.
As I walk by a food stand, I couldn't help but look longingly at the dango they were serving. Oh they were so plump! Ugh…when was the last time I ate? I think about 3 days ago or 4? I don't know how much time I spent in the forest this time. So I'm in a definite need of nutrition. 'Kuso' I don't have any money. I guess I was just staring at the dango, because the little plump man running the stand just gave it to me. I was going to protest against it but he gave me a hard stare. So I know I can't change his mind so I say a quick thank you and start to devour my dango. I was thinking where I was going to stay tonight. I was originally going to sleep on one of the rooftops of the village.
As how I explained the appearance of this village there was no way I could sleep on the roof. It might fall in from my weight. Not only can't I sleep on the roof, I can't even sleep outside. I look to my left 'yep definitely not an option.' I started to survey the people around me. As I was turning around to get a good look at all of them. One boy turned around. Our gazes locked. My breath hitched when I caught his gaze. The intensity of it was so unnerving. He had black hair. He was wearing a cloak that covered all of his shirt. He was wearing black pants. He had porcelain skin. The part of his arms that actually could be seen from the big cloak were wrapped in bandages. He was wearing black sandals.
As I looked into his eyes they seem to be endless pools of changing shades of scarlet and garnet. They reminded me of a kaleidoscope. I narrowed my eyes. What am I feeling? I know I'm uncomfortable that he is making me feel something. I need to get away.

Her eyes looked so dead to the world. Those dark orbs looked momentarily stunned. She narrowed her eyes at me. Her orbs darkened and seemed to be tinted with a color I couldn't make out. She turned away from me. I let her walk off, because I was so unnerved by how dead her eyes looked. I know my eyes reveal how cold and icy I am, but no one should ever have a gaze that looked as dead as hers. I could of sworn I saw a flicker of emotion in those eyes but It might have been just been my imagination. They do say your eyes are the doorway to the soul.
I looked up and realized I've been standing here for maybe a half hour to a full hour. The sun was just about to go down over the horizon. I walk over to a little dango stand. I ask the little man if he knew any places I could stay. He said I could stay with him at his little house that is a little more on the outskirts of town.

I was surprised that I didn't break into a full out sprint to get away from him. While trying to get away from that boy I realized something. I'm lost. 'Damn it' I was already on the outskirts of town. It's already past 8 I believe. I walk aimlessly for another 5 minutes. I suddenly see a little cottage. This house is in way better condition than that whole village. It had two stories to it. It was made out of birch wood. The house had a comforting aura around it. There was a little broken down cobble stone path leading from a gate to the house. It didn't have a lot of windows. I was still too far away to make out any striking features of the house.
I start to make my way up to the house. I pause my trek to the house when I see a light come on. I was about to turn around and walk away when I turn my head and see two people in the forest um "embracing" each other. 'Cottage it is then' I go to knock on the door. When the door opens I see the same plump man from earlier. I was somewhat pleased to see him answer the door even though I know I didn't show it. I ask him "May I please stay in your home for the night?" I bow to him.
When I lifted my head up I saw him with a small grin plastered on his face. He was chuckling. Was he laughing at me? (Sigh) I don't have time to worry about that. He gestures inside the house. I mumble a quiet thank you. The moment I stepped in and looked around, I felt like I was wrapped in an infinite warmness. It was a little overwhelming. We were just in the hallway and I already felt nice. I looked at the little desk full of trinkets with wonder.
I was too scared to even pick up anything on the Birch wood desk. It was polished, but seems too been aged. He had all these little toys and pictures on it. What intrigued me the most was a little bracelet with garnet gems on it. When I stepped to take a closer look at it. I blanched. It was momentarily so I hastily backed away from the desk. I turned behind me to see if the man saw but he wasn't there. I looked forward and he was already down the hall. He gestured me to follow him. He called out "Satoku". I was about to turn around when my gaze locked with Satoku.

Satoku
This is who was at the door? The little plump man known as Kaito went to the front of this small cottage. I was currently in the middle of getting new wraps for my arms and a little bit of my back. So I was just in the middle of taking off my shirt when I heard Kaito come back in. So When I finally took it off my head my gaze locked with a steely grey.
Nani mo
'I am really being screwed over huh?' I can't break my gaze from his penetrating eyes. 'Dammit stop looking at me!' I showed no outward reaction but I was screaming inwardly. I felt slightly suffocated. Why am I freaking out right now? I know they can't see it my emotions…which I thank God for, but 'The intensity…'
Satoku
'So I was right… her eyes do change colors'. Her posture seemed relaxed but I could see the tenseness in her muscles. She seemed to be looking at me impassively. I saw her eyes darken towards me. I would out right laugh at her if her eyes weren't so mesmerizing. They seem to be a tinted light green at the top and fades into a translucent white. I could see small flickers of emotion run through them. I was broken out of my thoughts by Kaito when he asked her name.
Nani mo
'Shit' it took me a minute to realize I didn't answer and I was starting to look very rude to this man. 'Kuso I can't tell him my real name, I don't need to sign my death now thank you very much' Wait… what is my name? I must be more isolated than I thought. I keep trying to rack my brain for it. I just realized Satoku was still looking at me and if anything his gaze intensified, his eyes slightly narrowed at me. I'm starting to panic on the inside. The motivation to get it finally hit me I got it! I was about to open my mouth but closed it. 'Shit even if I remember my name I can't tell them, but I can't tell them nothing. Wait nothing!'
Satoku
Many people might have not seen it, but the slight hesitation in her lips showed me she was not going to tell us her name. 'Smart girl' When I think about it she does have a slightly unusual appearance so it's better to be safe but still….heh she interests me. She shifted a little bit. The impassiveness that was shown on her face was replaced by a carefully blank look. I narrowed my eyes even more at her. I was about to say something when she suddenly said "Nani mo" 'The hell…?'
Nani mo
He smirks at me. This baka is smirking at me. He gives a light chuckle. The way he looks is somewhat devious…. I think. 'I don't know how the hell my emotions work let alone someone else's but the way he is acting now gives me goose bumps.' He then says " I think I'll call you mo." 'I almost snort at him in disdain, almost.'
Kaito
'I wonder how they will adjust to each other. The tension between them is palpable. So intense already and this is technically their first meeting. He'll be good for her somewhat anyway if they are who I think they are. Hmm…. Nani mo eh? I wonder if she purposely didn't tell me her name. There are 3 options to it. 1. She purposely didn't tell me her name so she's smart. 2. She forgot her name. Or 3. That is what she thinks of herself so that is what she dubbed herself as. Or it could be a mixture of some.'
I look back at Satoku well at least I know he has been training. He is definitely more muscular than kids his age. I'm so surprised how much he resembles him at such a young age too. I have to say I'm a little jealous at his age he already has a built like that. Oh well I'm old I've been around way longer than he's been.
I look back at Satoku. I see he is still smirking at Mo. I can see she is slightly unnerved from him no matter how good she is at hiding it. 'Well at least they don't remember who I am. Mo would have been freaking out on the inside if she found out I could read her like an open book. This disguise also helps greatly too. I wish I could have my actually body to use but it would of sent red flags to anyone who saw me. Great, now he has a devious aura around him. I already know that there is no need to fill in Satoku on the birds and bees. Mo on the other hand… I not so sure. I know she probably knows how to procreate but the actually interaction with romance and flirting etc. She is like someone who can burn water. What? I couldn't think of a good pun…Well at least she interests him now like she did back then.' I smile to myself. 'At least some things don't change.'
I look back at Satoku. If anything the tension between the two increased tenfold?! It seems like the temperature is either rising or sinking I can't tell. I was about to say something when Mo starts to speak.
MUST READ!
Author Notes: This fanfic is not really about the actually Naruko and Sauske. I thought you could post made up stories that don't have to do with just faniction, so I was wrong so I'm clearing that up if your confused.
I put Naruko and Sasuke as characters in here because they are the most similar. So just for the sake of fan-fiction I will make this take place in the Naruto world so I will have to disclaim some of it but for the most part its my own original story.
If you don't actually read the author's notes you will not get the story so if your confused than I can't help you if you didn't read it.
