*Flames will be used to heat my coffee.
Blackhaven18: Wow, there was such a huge response to the last chapter. ^.^ Thanks everyone!
britachisbride: I definitely had fun wriitng that chapter, and it's my favorite out of the bunch too.
littlesnowfarie2005: I'm glad you like it!
WinterAlais: Happy to hear that, it was actually one of my worries about this story. Though, personally I'm itching to write about Naruto being in Forks' already, Lol. There has been no action, :'(
Utena-Puchiko-nyu: Thanks! I actually borrowed the first name from a friend, Lol. He was all for it, ^.^
HumanSage: I had such a hard time choosing a name for Naruto, because I wanted something relatively close but not enough to give anything away. Lol, cheers to SOFT, and yes Edward is Seme...
Stephvamp25: Lol, I know. I was looking around too and couldn't find anything on Edward/Naruto that were serious. Ugh, and I waited for awhile for one to pop up too! Finally I just decided to stop whining, much to my sisters' apreciation, and write one myself. Hopefully this will inspire others to write more because we are in serious lack of them. And you're right, it is disgusting how people can just decide something without seeing both sides of the equation, or in this case, what's right in front of them. *Fumes*. Also, that poem you wrote is absolutely beautiful and I would like to use it in a later chapter of that's alright. I know just the one it would go perfect with. Thanks!
moonbay72: Lol, yeah. Jacob just seems like the type of son to scare the living daylights out of his father. Also, I'm glad you like the name.
Riddicks-gurl-1998: Yay! So, you're part Native American too huh? I spent hours trying to figure out how they would meet and fianlly figured since Jacob was Native American his dad would have at some point brought him to a Powwow of some sort. I know mine sure did and it was always fun. It was always hilarious because my mom's Navajo and my dad's white, making him stand out like a sore thumb. We do know for sure he's half french and the other half is a mix we have no clue about. That makes me half Navajo, quarter french and quarter unknown, Lol.
MelissaRM: I'm trying, really I am. Thanks for your comment.
ElementalFoxGoddess: ~Fuu fuu~ Of course Naruto is Uke and I can't wait to start writing their smexy scenes. *Smacks away pervertedness* O.O' I apoligize for that...
Name: Sea of Flames: Trilogy, Part 1.
Summary: Naruto was banished from Konoha for over two years and while he was gone something huge happened. Naruto hasn't been the same since. Now though, he's had enough of being used as a tool and leaves Konoha to start what he hopes is a new life, where people won't judge him for the demon inside.

You think you know me
Got me figured out
Your casting shadows
casting doubt
You think you know me
You think I care
You should spend some time sometime with the person in the mirror
I'm a fist, I'm afraid, I'm a link in the chain
I'm the worst of the best, but I'm in this race
You don't know me
I'm a knife, I'm a rope, I'm a bitter pill
I'm a tooth on the cog that you built to spill
You don't know me
I'm not defined by what you think I am
I won't fall into your predetermined plan
All like diamonds without the shine
If you never take the time you never know what you won't find
I'm a crow, I'm the most with the least to gain
Find More lyrics at .com
I'm a fading Mona Lisa in a plywood frame
You don't know me
I'm a ring on a tree in a life that fell
What I did I done good and what I done I did well
You don't know me
Hate is a river flowing with money and greed
Drawing borders
Lines on a map we don't need
I'm a wall, I'm a fence, I'm a dotted line
I'm the land you kill for in the name of your kind
You don't know me
I'm a storm, I'm a sign, I'm a bleeding heart
I'm the time that got away
It's already gone
You don't know me
Art of dying, You Don't Know Me.
Chapter 5: You Don't Know Me
Rain drenched the outside windows of the Cullen household as usual, but it was the petite form flitting from room to room that had everyone's attention.
"Anyone know what's up with Alice?" Emmett asked inquistively from his place on the couch to anyone that was willing to give an answer.
"... She's been receiving consecutive visions...but she refuses to tell anyone what they're about until she knows more." Alice's husband answered, a helpless look on his face as he watched his wife gather different materials around the house.
"That and she refuses to let me read her mind." Edward added, "She's been going over the Greek alphabet for the last few visions..."
"I wouldn't worry," Esme's voiced after the room had once again gone quiet, "if it was something dire she would let us know, " but even her reassurance had little effect on her children.
"Ah-ha! found it!" They heard Alice's triumphant voice from the other room and watched as she ambled into the living room, a look of concentration on her features.
In her hands was a large, thin corkboard that she hung on one of the empty wall of the living room after hammering a nail in to hold it in place. Next she pulled out a U.S map from her stack of items and she quickly unfolded it before tacking it to the corkboard.
The expanse nearly covered the entire wall, vertical-wise, and she quickly smoothed out any wrinkles before pinning an array of colorful pins in multiple cities around the world. It wasn't until ten minutes later, now counting Carisle's appearance after his work, that she sighed deeply and turn around to inform her family of her work.
"Alright, you've all, no doubt, heard of my recent visions, but before I go on, has anyone heard anything... odd from any of the other vampires?" She glanced around the room and Emmett nodded in answer to her question.
"I recently came across a non-veg vamp over the border in Idaho heading our way. After a brief warning to stay away from our territory he asked me if I heard any new about some person everyone's calling 'The Traveler.' Threw me for a loop, that one did. From what I figured no one knows exaclty what he is, but if it's one thing they've agreed on it's this. He's no vampire." Emmett finished and looked towards Carlisle.
Silence one again reigned until Rosalie broke it, "So what does this have to do with our coven?"
"That is what I'm going to answer!" Alice chirped and directed everyones' attention back to her map. "The visions I've been recieving all have to do with this 'Traveler' person, where he's going next and such. The first set of pins on the map, the blue ones, represent my first three visions, the white the next five, and the red the next four... Now my visions have always had an order because I can't see what he does until he makes a definite decision. That means I can only see so far." Everyone nodded, knowing this already. "Do you notice anything about the blue pins on the map?"
Multiple pins were pressed into the wall, but the ones in specific colors were all over the place. There were never more than two in a certain area at a time... It was Jasper who spoke up.
"The pins have no specific order..." He was already going over any strategic combinations this person may have had in mind at the time, "That and the distance between each one is..." He trailed off, not knowing what to make of it.
"That's right, Jasper. When I first saw him he was in the U.S., California to be precise. The next day he was in Tennessee."
"Holy shit!" Rosalie smacked her husband on the back of his head for his language, "That's over six states away!"
"Exactly, the places he chooses have no random order and the distance between each one is phenomenal. That and he never spends more than a few days in a certain state."
"Is he a threat then?" Rosalie asked and Alice sighed.
"He's never outright attacked someone, but the thing is... it has the same feeling as the vision I had a few months ago had... I think that means their connected somehow."
"So, you think he's in league with that mysterious character that's going to show up at school?" Emmett asked and Alice nodded.
"Yes, I think this year is going to is going to change a lot of things for us..."
Flashback:
"Nate, I'd like to introduce you to the pack..." Jacob then began to name off all it's members'.
After the growl fest between the new kid and the rest of the pack, they found it was easy enough to enjoy each others' company.
Though, to be honest, what really broke the ice was when Sam threatened Nate that they would use the full extent of their abilities of he should reveal anything about them, as he figured that since he didn't have any blood relation to them he was an enemy. Nate merely shook his head and sighed.
"I'm not joking, kid." Nate's hand tensed on the soda can at the term, " We outnumber you and if you are percieved to be a threat we will not hold back." Sam stated glaring at the blond, who looked back with a bored fashion, completly unfazed by the threat.
"Jumping to conclusions will only get you killed, I may be younger than you, but you have still got a lot to learn," was Nate's only response and Billy agreed.
The group was still young and could be hot-headed at times because of their feral side and allowed their emotions to cloud their judgement.
"Look you-"
"No, you look," Nate commanded, standing before everyone and the group looked on in amazement and slight wariness at the killing intent that was leaking from the blond as he spoke, "I have shown you no disrespect or not harmed you in anyway and you choose to speak to me as if I am of lower status then you?" Sam visibly winced at the tone of authority, but held his ground, "Continue to speak to me in such a way and it is I who shall not 'hold back,' Beta."
The group let out an audible gasp at the title and Nate scoffed before sitting back down.
"... You knew?" Jacob asked when the room cooled off again, and Nate nodded.
"Of course, my nose is just as good as yours'." He said slightly offended he would think otherwise.
It wasn't until a few days later that Sam actually apoligized for his actions, but still kept an eye on the blond.
Over those few days the entire group swapped stories, but Jacob couldn't shake the feeling the blond seemed to exude as he spoke. He would chuckle and try to look as of he was interested, but his eyes always seemed to tell a different story.
Nate spoke of friends and his pranks as a child on the mayor of his town, also of how the authorities never caught him unless he allowed them to, but each time his eyes seemed filled with such pain and a wisdom they would more than likely never understand. No wonder Billy like to talk to Nate so much, the teenager had an old soul...
So, you live in Bend?" Jacob asked Nate as he took another sip of his soda, trying his hardest to ignore Quil and Embry's arguing a few feet away...
"Nah, I'm just visiting with my parents and I decided to looked around while they went to museums and such... We're actually just traveling around and checking out areas before we settle down." Nate answered and rolled up a napkin ball before pegging an innocent bystander behind the two arguing boys.
The woman in question turned around and scolded a warning at the two for hitting her before telling them to quiet down, needless to say they did, looking thouroughly scolded as well.
Jacob and the rest of the group couldn't help but laugh at the immediant effect.
That was a trick they would have to remember.
"Got any ideas of where you're headed?" Seth piped up.
Suprisingly enough it was Seth that seemed to hold the most respect for the person in front of them and latched on like a kid seeing his superhero. He was usually quiet and meek around the blond, still in awe of the power Nate exuded when Sam had threatened him.
"Not a clue, just that we would like to be away from any huge cities. Plenty of leg room and cover, ya' know?" Nate gave the group a chesire grin and they nodded.
"Why don't you live in Forks' then?" Seth said and winced slightly when Sam glared at him from across the room.
Jacob looked back in warning before turning back to the blond, "That's actually not a bad idea," he conceded. The entire group already like the blond to some extent and hell, if Billy liked him he couldn't be that bad.
"Hmm... Move to a town named after a utensil? Well, I guess it doesn't get more desolate than that, I'll talk to my parents about it. I'm sure they won't mind, but I want to sight-see a bit more before we do settle down."
"Sounds good enough, will we be seeing you soon?"
"Yeah, few months at the most. We can swap numbers until then, keep in touch. Can I expect you guys'll be my guide when I arrive?" Nate asked.
"We can do that." Jacob answered and shook his hand. "Guess this is goodbye for now."
"Yeah, see you soon."
End Flashback:
Area: Unknown
Time: 1:45 AM
If there happened to be a pedestrian currently walking by they would have seen the most preposterous thing before blaming it on the shadows as they danced around, playing their tricks on porr unsuspecting victims. An uknown figure was jumping from lampost to lampost and only stopped when the slim phone in his pocket vibrated.
Nate chuckled as he read the text on his phone from Jacob,
'Hey, hurry your ass up would ya?'
They certainly were something weren't they? He couldn't help but tap his foot on the thin post he was standing on.
Maybe it was time he settled down... and just be... normal... for a change... to an extent of course.
Gripping the phone he sighed in a breathless fashion. He had friends, people that liked him for who he was and they wanted to hang out with him... It far more than he could ever ask for.
"Alright Fork's, here I come." He murmured and jumped to the next post, ignoring the painful whisper lingering in the back of his mind as he went.
'You don't know me'
