AN: Hi guys! This is the first chapter of my story. Hope you enjoy it and reviews are much appreciated!

Thoughts are the same as narration unless in mental conversations

'Mental Convos'

Tailed beasts speaking

It was a bright, sunny day in Tokyo as two yellow haired, blue eyed siblings walked through the streets, their destination none other than a dojo. Both attracted much attention, considering their hair is yellow and they were both good to look at. Passersbys and people standing around recognized the older sibling of the two as someone to be feared. The boys walked at a relaxed place, blinding smiles plastered upon their faces, causing every girl and woman in the area to blush, giggle, and squeal. Their looks turned out to become more of a curse than a blessing as a horde of screaming girls proceeded to chase them through Tokyo. The oldest brother had enough; he grabbed the collar of the younger brother and disappeared from the mob in a yellow blur. The girls, confused, went back to their own lives, thinking about ways to earn attention from the blondes. The boys had ended up in a pretty big tub filled with soapy water, with the younger on top of the older. The siblings hopped out of the tub and began to shake themselves off. The water caused their hair to become puffy, earning laughs from each other as they looked at the others puffy hair. The siblings stopped when they felt many pairs of eyes on them. The boys turned around to come face to face with the Kenshin group. At the head of the group were two individuals with red hair and violet eyes that stared into the blue eyed, yellow haired siblings. The younger owner of the violet eyes studied the two strangers with much interest. The one to her left was the older one of the two. He looked to be as old as her brother. This man wore a long sleeve blue shirt and blue pants along with blue sandals and a white coat that had red flames adorning the bottom. She inferred there was something written on the back that she couldn't see. Violet eyes shifted to the younger blonde and he gulped as her intense eyes stared into his blue ones. This one was wearing a black head band on his forehead, very similar to Sanosuke's and a orange and black jacket, some orange pants and black sandals. He gave her a friendly smile, which she gave no response to. The red head became frightened when the older one focused his piercing blue eyes on her. Her red hair was pulled into a high ponytail and her bangs, along with a few strands of hair on each side of her head was left untouched. She had on a black jacket with black fingerless gloves, black shorts, and black sandals. On the jacket and shorts were orange swirls that were scattered across the clothing. Her body was mostly covered by the older red head's and the siblings came to the conclusion she was pretty shy. Next came the older sibling; his red hair was also pulled into a ponytail with his bangs hanging around his face freely. He was wearing a simple, light purple kimono with white pants and a sword in its sheath hanging under his obi*. He also was wearing a beat-up pair of sandals. On the left side of his face was a cross-shaped scar, and his purple eyes were as piercing as the older blonde's. The older siblings of the four broke into smiles and started to shake hands.

The older red-head assured the group. "It's alright guys. This here is one of my good friends from the Revolution, Minato Namikaze, better known as the Yellow Flash of Konoha*." The group gasped and stared in amazement at Minato.

"Kenshin, it's good to see you after all this time. The young man standing next to me is my younger brother Naruto Namikaze, Konoha's # 1 Most Unpredictable, Knuckleheaded Ninja. Who would all these nice people behind you be?" Minato asked. The Namikaze siblings studied each and every single person that introduced themselves.

"Hello, my name is Kaoru Kamiya," a blue-haired, blue-eyed woman announced. She had her hair pulled back into a high ponytail, was wearing a white training outfit with sandals, and a wooden sword was in her hands.

"Hey, name's Sanosuke Segara, also known as Sanza, the fighter for hire," stated a brown-haired, brown eyed man. He wore a red headband on his forehead that kept his spiky, broom head hairstyle in place except for bangs that hang over the headband. He had on a white jacket, white pants with bandages underneath the jacket and pants with black shoes. Sanosuke smiled with pride and confidence.

"Hi, my name is Yahiko Myōjin!" exclaimed a spiky brown-haired, brown eyed boy that reminded Minato of a younger Naruto and reminded Naruto of one his best friends he left back in Konoha. Yahiko wore a brown kimono of sorts, with brown pants, sandals, and held a wooden practice sword. Yahiko's smile matched Sanosuke's almost perfectly.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Natarii Himura," Natarii spoke in a soft, quiet voice. She watched the Namikaze brothers cautiously and curiously, especially Minato.

"Pleasure to meet you all. My name is Minato Namikaze, also known as the Yellow Flash of Konoha; I'm Naruto Namikaze and I'm going to become the strongest person in Japan!" introduced the Namikaze brothers. Everybody smiled at Naruto's confident grin, causing him to rub the back of head sheepishly, a small blush appearing on his cheeks. After the introductions were complete, Kenshin and Minato walked away from the group as they entered into a huge conversation about what the other had been doing for the past 10 years. The rest of the Kenshin group continued to their respective areas to finish their activities, leaving Naruto and Natarii alone with each other. Natarii sat down on the porch, took out her drawing book, began drawing, and hummed quietly to herself. She expected Naruto to follow after Kenshin and Minato, so she was pretty surprised to find him sit down next to her. He didn't talk or make any indication of wanting to, just watched her as she drew. He noticed she was drawing him and he started chuckling. Natarii turned to see Naruto give her one of his bright smiles; she quickly looked down, a slight blush forming on her cheeks.

"Are you completely dry, Naruto?" asked Natarii, trying to keep up her new found courage.

"Yea, pretty much," he replied.

"Why are you guys here?"

"Not quite sure. I think Minato-nii said something about wanting to help a good friend of his, Kenshin Himura. What I didn't know is that Kenshin has a kind, quiet, but most of all cute little sister," he responded with a wink. Natarii smiled and lightly punched Naruto in the arm. He winced in mock hurt, pretending to rub his "injured" arm.

"What is your fighting style, Naruto? I know you must have one, considering your brother is the Yellow Flash."

"I could tell you or I could show you. Which one do you prefer?" Naruto challenged as he began to crack his knuckles and gave Natarii a bring-it-on-grin. Natarii accepted the challenge with a nod; she led Naruto in the direction Minato and Kenshin went, leading them to the back yard of the dojo. The duo found their older brothers sitting on a bench in deep conversation and didn't happen to notice Natarii and Naruto get into their fighting stances. Kenshin and Minato stopped talking to watch Naruto throw a punch to Natarii's stomach that was blocked by her open palm. Natarii dodged a second punch to her face and hit the other hand with her open palm. As Naruto attempted to sweep her off her feet with his left leg, Natarii jumped and in one fluid motion, focused chakra into her hand, closed her right fist, and punched Naruto in his left cheek, sending him flying. Natarii straightened herself as Naruto jumped up, blood trickling out of his mouth. He grinned and wiped the blood off of his mouth.

"That was a pretty hard punch you threw, Rii-chan, but I'm not done yet," Naruto complimented. He put his fingers into his favorite seal and focused his chakra, but the chakra wasn't forming in his fingers. Natarii smirked and focused chakra to her eyes. Her eyes changed from violet to red and she got into her true fighting stance; left leg slightly in front of her right both bent, with both palms open, her right arm more bent than her left. Kenshin smiled from his seat on the bench and Minato watched her, curious to see her abilities. Just as Naruto realized why he couldn't form chakra in his fingers, Natarii appeared in front of him. Her red eyes focused on his body and she struck. Natarii hit every major tenketsu* in his body, closing them off as Naruto stared at her in shock and surprise. She formed all the chakra she could in her hand, making her hand glow blue with electricity flowing in and out of the chakra. She thrusted her palm into his chest and released the chakra, sending a shockwave into Naruto's body, paralyzing him. As a final attack, Natarii used chakra to enhance her kick as she kicked Naruto in the stomach, sending him flying into a tree. The three remaining people in the backyard heard bones break as Naruto slipped into unconsciousness. Natarii gasped as she focused chakra into her eyes a second time, turning them from red to gold. She could see that Naruto's ribs were broken and he was having trouble breathing, as the ribs had punctured his lungs. Just as Natarii was about to step closer to Naruto, a red glow surrounded his body, the red chakra starting to heal his broken bones and punctured lungs. Naruto's eyes opened, his blue eyes now red, his hair more ruffled, fangs protruding out of his mouth, his whiskers were more defined, and his finger nails grew longer to become claw-like*. Naruto growled at Natarii; she knew that was not her loud-mouth, goofball friend.

'You have done well in catching my kit off guard, Aka*. Your abillities far surpassed what I expected from you. Next time we fight Hikari, you and your kitten will have a harder time defeating us!' a deep voice boomed, clearly irritated with the outcome of the battle. Natarii winced in pain as the voice had entered her mind and talked to her and her feline partner. She nodded to a red-eyed Naruto and the red chakra dispersed, reversing all the physical changes that occurred to Naruto while leaving his ribs and lungs in perfect, working condition. Naruto opened his eyes to find Natarii crouched, inspecting him with concern. Her eyes were gold and she lightly touched his ribs. He didn't flinch and she relaxed; Naruto watched her eyes change to red and she again lightly touched him. This time, he felt a warm sensation every place she touched him; he knew she had opened his tenketsu and could feel the chakra flow through them. Naruto smiled at Natarii's cute, concentrated face as she found each tenketsu and opened them as quick as possible. Natarii smiled as she opened his last chakra point, ensuring that his chakra was now fully flowing through his body. As she met his eyes, her face fell and she quickly hopped back away from him.

"I'm sorry for hurting you, Naruto. I didn't think I hit you that hard," she apologized. Naruto smiled and helped her to her feet.

"It's fine, Natarii. You caught me off guard and I payed for it. There is nothing for you to be sorry about," Naruto replied. She nodded, still unsure of his honesty, as Kenshin and Minato joined them.

Kenshin complimented the teens. "That was a pretty interesting fight between the two of you. Nice job to the both of you." Minato agreed and Natarii noticed his eyes on her face with a curious expression.

" Natarii, what is your dōjutsu and fighting style, if you don't mind explaining," he asked.

I don't know if I should tell him or not. I mean it couldn't hurt, and Minato is one of Kenshin's good friends. She weighed the pros and cons of explaining her heritage to Minato. Could she trust her brother's friend with her family secrets?

AN: Everything about Natarii's feline partner, Hikari , will be explained in due time. For now, just know she is as powerful as a tailed beast, more specifically the Two-Tails. Tailed beast are basically chakra demons, meaning they use chakra like humans and have huge amounts of it. The tailed beasts go from one to nine, with nine being the most powerful tailed beast and the one that contains the most chakra. After each chapter I will explain the things I have put an asterisk next to as I feel readers that haven't watched either Kenshin or Naruto that have watched the other should be explained to.

Obi: A belt around kimonos usually; Kenshin put his reverse blade sword between the obi and the kimono.

Konoha: In Naruto, this is Naruto's village and the main setting of the show. In this story, it is a city not far from Tokyo.

Tenketsu: These are what are known as chakra points in Naruto and will be used in this story as people can use chakra.

Naruto's appearance: When that red chakra flows through Naruto he goes through some physical changes as his hair becoming ruffled along with the change in eye color. This will be explained in greater detail in later chapters.

I am sorry for not explaining everything but the story will run better when these things are explained later in the plot. Thanks for reading and reviews are again appreciated!
