Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters. But I do own Nakamura Ren as she is a character of my own creation.
AN: Hey guys, I know it's been a long time since I posted anything but I've been playing with this idea for a long time and didn't really know how to do it. I'm pretty satisfied with this though. So R&R people!
I try to open my eyes and find it to be near impossible, the lids heavy laden against my eyes. I can feel something hot and sticky running down my face; I know it to be blood. I can still move all my limbs though. I am face down on the rough gravel. Finally my eyes open, but with the combination of the darkness and the blurring of my vision I can hardly see. I wiggle the fingers of my right hand just to make sure I can still move them and find that I have a kunai knife in my hand still. I wrap my fingers tightly around it and I drag my hands under me and push myself up.
As I gain distance from the ground I feel my arms go weak and my elbows give out and I fall back to the hard dead earth. I try again to push myself off the ground and this time I am more successful. As I raise higher and higher from the ground I pull my knees under me and push upward. All the time holding my kunai tightly.
When I finally get myself in an upright position I look around at the wreckage. The sky is dark and red at the same time, and everything lays in piles. I start to walk forward searching through the rubble for my teammates. I see that familiar patch of silver hair on the ground and I run to him. I start to move things trying to get him out.
When I have moved enough of the rubble to be able to grab him, I grab him and pick him up, slinging him over my shoulder. I continue to move and look for my other teammates. After about five minutes of carrying around my unconscious Hatake friend I start to get really tired and my search for the others is in vain. I try to keep going but my knees give out and I stumble. As I fall I drop Kakashi and he falls landing on his back. This wakes him up.
His eyes fly open and he quickly gets up, he looks down at me with those mismatched eyes of his and he sees me on the ground. He quickly figure out what happened from the time I woke up until now.
"Ren," he says my name and I look up at him, my eyes tired and my expression cold and dead. "Ren," he says my name again this time sinking to his knees and embracing me, the way a brother embraces his sister. Tears are streaming down both of our faces as we sit there holding each other. He pulls away and wipes the tears off of my face. "Where is Minato?" I look up at him and with the sad expression in my face silently tell him I have absolutely no idea.
I feel one of Kakashi's hands slide under my knees and the other one across my back as he lifts me off the ground. It's his turn to carry me I guess. He starts walking forward and I can tell he's tired.
"Hatake, put me down I can quite walk well enough on my own." I say my voice cold and sharp. He only pulls me closer to him.
"Ren, you don't always have to be the strong one, let me carry you for once. We're a family and I can be your aniki sometimes. It's okay." I bury my face into his chest, I know the tears are now swiftly falling down my face.
"A shinobe doesn't cry, a shinobe isn't weak." I say as I cling to him. "I'm not a very good shinobe today." He walks slowly.
"You're an excellent shinobe Ren." And then out of no where there he is. The yellow flash of konoha, our sensei. Namikaze Minato. His face is a mixture of worry and distress. He opens his arms and Kakashi hands me to him. I feel safe in my sensei's strong arms. I lose consciousness as we walk.
Some time later I again wake up. This time I find myself in a bed with a bandage around my head and other wounds. I sit up abruptly and it makes my head spin so I sink back down into the bed. I stare up at the ceiling counting the tiles for a few minutes. I try to sit up again and this time I succeed. I look around the room and try to figure out where I am. I hear the door open and I see Minato walk in. I'm in Minato's house.
He smiles when he sees me and I see he's carrying a plate of food. He walks towards me and he sits on the edge of the bed.
"I'm glad to see you awake Ren. I was quite worried about you." I made him worry now I feel awful. "Would you like some breakfast?" He offers me the plate of food which I gladly take.
"I'm sorry for making you worry that way sensei. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble." He smiles lightly and ruffles my dark hair.
"It's no trouble Ren."
I swing my arm back at her and as she dodges I kick at her side contacting and shoving her backwards. She flies back a step and before she can even think about hitting me back my fist contacts with her face sending her into the ground. Just then do I hear a fist approaching the back of my head I duck and swing my leg up smacking the boy square in the jaw. I hear the bones crack as he too falls to the ground.
Soon enough Iruka and Izumo are pulling us off of each other. Izumo wraps his arms around me holding me back from beating the rest of them senseless.
"Ren calm down, it's okay." I look back at him tears threatening to fall from my eyes. I shake him off of me.
"No one insults my family that way Izumo, no one." I say calmly and simply. He knows the family I am referring to. It would not be the one I was actually born to, the one I don't care to know anymore. I'm talking about my real family, my shinobe family. When people make cracks about Obito I make cracks in their face.
I walk off and I hear him before I see him, the yellow flash once again by my side. I keep walking and probably increase my pace, I am not in the mood for another one of his lectures. But he grabs my arm and pulls me back to him. He embraces me. Sometimes I forget that he's only five years older than me because he feels so old and strong.
"Thank you Ren, thank you for protecting your brother's name. But it's okay, you don't need to beat up everyone." I bury my face in his chest and I'm softly crying. But right now I'm just glad he's not lecturing me.
"Minato, I'm just so tired of the things people say. That's my family they are talking about there." I say getting kind of upset. I then realize I called him Minato, the way I do in my thoughts and I get kind of embarrassed. I pull myself away from him. "I didn't mean to call you with such familiarity like that, sumimasen sensei." I say looking away.
He grabs my chin and lightly pulls my face upward so I'm again looking at him. "It's okay by me if you want to call me Minato." I can feel the warmth in his hand as he holds my face and I can tell that as he talks his face gets closer and closer to mine.
I pull myself away from him. "Okay," is all I say as I look around anxiously. "I'm gonna go home now, k?" He nods at me and I walk away my head spinning.
Does he feel the same way I do? Does he know that these four years as his student I have secretly lusted after him? Does he know that Kushina was the bane of my existence, no matter how much I liked the woman? I can only hope.
As I blinked my eyes open slowly I came into awareness of the world. I sat up and stretched, I checked my alarm clock it's only two in the morning. I sigh loudly and fall back onto my palms. I can't believe I'm already awake and it's still the middle of the night. I flip the light on and am very startled to see Minato sitting in my room intensely watching me.
"Sensei," I say, still waking up, "What are you doing here?" he stands up and walks over to the bed and he sits down on the edge of the bed.
He leans in close to me so that I can feel his breath on my face, "I thought I was Minato now?" he asks. I shrink back from him.
"Well I suppose…" I trail off feeling the warmth from his breath drop down to my vagina and start throbbing there.
"Ren, these last four years, you've loved me haven't you?" he asks me and I feel myself blush. Me, the strong hard Nakamura, blushing. The very idea.
"Well yes," I say.
"And I haven't even been paying attention to you have I?" I shake my head. "Oh Ren I'm sorry." He says, embracing me. "I didn't love you at first, you were just a child then. But I have watched you blossom into a beautiful young woman Ren." he then leans in close and plants his soft lips against mine.
