Chapter 7
Short (Hope this pleases you guys until I finish XD also with my schedule the way it is I do not have much time to spell check… or any kind of check. If it does not come up as red on my word page then I won't see it sorry… life sucks I know).
Naruto sighed while climbing from his new bed. He looked over to his mother and watched as she slept soundly most likely having peaceful dreams. He then turned to the window and slowly opened it. The fresh cool air rushed into the room as Naruto took a deep breath and smiled before closing his eyes and taking in the many night time aroma's of the village. It wasn't as calming as his mothers garden back at home but the fresh air was still something to love.
After standing for a sort time at the window he grabbed his weapon and climbed from the room and slowly made his way to a higher point on top of the mansion. He stopped and turned to look out towards the Village hidden in the Mist and couldn't help but almost gasp at the sight. The moons light reflected from the light mist setting a glow through the dark village and held the shadows at bay. He could see small rivers and waterfalls in the distance leading to the ocean.
"This is incredible" He mumbled to himself only to feel a huge gust of wind hit him casing him to slip slightly and let out a small shout before catching his grip. He let out a sigh of relief and took a step to go back to bed before catching a aroma in the air and stopping instantly… He looked around scanning the area and before he knew it he spotted it… Crimson and white flowers in a garden… His mothers flowers…
Naruto leaped from the roof while focusing Chakra into his feet as he bounced from tree to tree before landing in the center of the garden… Instantly he smelt the full force of the aroma hit him and smirked softly… "Home" he said to himself only before thinking about what Yagura said.
'Your father had many enemies' Yagura's voice echoed in the child's mind. Naruto leaned down and plucked one of the flowers from the soft ground and held it in his hand open palm.
"It smells like home" he said out loud to himself only to hear footsteps ruffle the bushes in the distance. Naruto quickly turned to see a crimson haired girl standing and staring at the whiskerless blond before her. He was in a tight black shirt and black pajama pants with his crazy long pole in his right hand.
"U-Uh" Naruto mumbled while staring at the girl. At that moment the clouds made there way over the bright light of the moon giving way to the shadows that now washed over the two… "I'm sorry" Naruto said instantly in a stutter not wanting any trouble "I didn't know this spot was taken".
"No" She said quickly interrupting him "Its fine… these flowers have always been open to the village" She said calmly. Her voice was soft but at the same time Naruto could hear a slight edge in it… "I've been growing these for years now… I planned on having them everywhere by now but I'm not exactly the best gardener" She said while remaining in the shadows…
Naruto looked down the flower in his hand and raised it to his nose taking in the aroma once again while closing his eyes… He could feel her eyes on him as he exhaled with a satisfied sigh…
"Well if you ask me… I think you're an awesome gardener, and if you ever need any help I could give you some tips. My mom is a great gardener and I've learned a few tricks from her" Naruto said softly while smiling.
Mai felt her cheeks blush slightly as Naruto finished and bent down to the ground where she hovered looking down at the flowers. "Your sweet" She said smirking and glaring up at the barely visible boy before her. "Not many people pay much mind to these… but I can't help think there beautiful".
"Why is that?" Naruto asked still trying to see her face through the shadows.
She smirked while running her hand over the flowers and thinking back to the day she met Naruto… "Well its going to sound stupid but… when I was little I ran into a boy and the flower in my hair fell out and got crushed. I was so mad" She paused as a gust of wind came through the village once again blowing her hair slightly and mixing the aromas of the village together… Light began to peak back over them as she continued.
"but the boy smiled at me and instead of ignoring me and walking away he bent down and put one of these flowers in my hair…" at that moment the moonlight returned to the area and Naruto's eyes where wide with shock…
"Its her" he said to himself as she sat with her eyes closed.
"What's your name" she asked while slowly opening her eyes to see the boy nowhere to be seen. Mei rubbed her eyes slightly and stood looking around the area with a confused look on her face… "Am I going crazy" She asked out loud only to hear a voice from the tree's.
"No" It said softly. Naruto stood with his back against the tree out of sight… she could hear him but wasn't able to see him. "Your not…"
"Is it you" she yelled standing with her fist balled. "I saw you with Yagura-Kun this morning… You've grown but… it had to be you! Naruto" Mei yelled in frustration "Naruto Uzumaki!".
"Not exactly" Naruto said while looking up through the tree's and up to the fogged sky. "Its Naruto Uzu now… and its good to see your alright Mei-Chan" Chakra flooded Naruto's feet as another gust of wind crashed through the area. Mei watched as a Shadow erupted from the tree's and into the air. Naruto glared back at the crimson haired girl and flashed a wide grin before vanishing into thin air…
"Its really him".
Naruto sighed while dropping into his bed. He held a satisfied and confused look on his face as if he wasn't sure if what he just did was good or bad… He wanted it to be good though… In all honesty he didn't have many friends his age anywhere not even on whirlpool island. In Konoha everyone hated him except for a few people and there parents never let them near him… Mei was the only person he actually ever talked to… even though it was only for a few moments while they where running for there lives. Naruto chuckled to himself while thinking about it all…
"N-Naruto" a voice mumbled from the darkness of the room. He looked to see Kushina rubbing her eyes as she sat up… "W-why are you awake dear?".
"Oh" Naruto said softly "Sorry mom did I wake you up?".
Kushina sat up in bed and looked ot the window which was still wide open letting a steady breeze into the room. "Yes you did but its fine" She paused "what where you doing? Why is the window open?".
Naruto blushed slightly while fiddling with his thumbs. Kushina reached out and turned on the lamp next to her bed and managed to catch a peek at the blush and felt her eyes grow wide. "Oh god Naruto no its to soon for you to start sneaking off to meet girls! I refuse to except this young man!".
Naruto's eyes twitched as Kushina managed to launch herself across the room and shack him repeatedly.
"M-Mom!" Naruto yelled snapping her out of her tantrum… "I-Its not like that… I ran into someone I met the first time I was here that's all… I was just thinking that she could be a friend an actual friend my age".
Kushina smirked slightly and bent over kissing Naruto on the forehead. She smirked as he made a scruffy face and whipped his forehead repeatedly. "I understand dear… we'll as Yagura about this girl tomorrow and make sure its ok she knows who you are but for now get some rest".
Naruto stood in front of the closet, his eyebrow twitching slightly as he looked at his new outfit. It was a long sleeved black and blue button up Chinese outfit. The blue trim Naruto liked but the sleeves looked like they would be a little long.
"What's wrong?" Kushina asked looking at the outfit "I think it will look great on you".
"You would say that" Naruto mumbled while walking towards the bathroom "You're my mom".
'And mothers know best" She said in a cheerful tone "Now hurry and get ready we shouldn't keep our hosts waiting".
Naruto sighed while pulling the cloths on. He looked into the mirror and rubbed his cheeks slightly. He missed the whiskers marks a little but quickly shoved his complaints to the back of his mind and finished getting dressed.
"I'm coming out" he said getting Kushina's attention. He walked from the bathroom only to see his mother smiling.
"You look adorable! Aww Yagura had good taste in his younger years" Kushina said earning a blush from the blond "I'm sure your little friend will think you look handsome" she commented only to see Naruto blush even larger.
"I'm changing" he said while turning only to feel a hand on his shoulder pulling him towards to door.
"No your not, we are already late now hurry it up kiddo!" she said dragging the blond child kicking and screaming… Little did he know he would get to see her much soon then he thought.
