Naruto sighed as he set to work removing the damaged area of the wall as carefully as his nine year old hands could. He really wished that people would stop destroying his apartment; it really got annoying having to fix everything. In fact, this had been the last part of the original apartment that he hadn't needed to replace. Removing the last piece of damaged paneling, he noticed that there was an odd box on one of the support beams.

Pulling the box out, he frowned seeing odd seals all over the outside of it. Setting it aside he went back to working on replacing the broken section of wall when something else caught his attention. There was a muffled mumbling sound from inside the box. Looking at the box, he could almost swear he heard someone pleading to be let out.

Kneeling next to the box, he tapped lightly on the box, getting a tap in response. Pulling out a kunai from his pouch, he slid it through the seals around the lid breaking them. Opening the box, he found a tiny female doll holding a hand over her eyes, with a weird white object beside her. The doll was wearing a sailor fuku and seemed to be very pale.

Reaching in, he picked her up carefully and carried her into the closet, where the light wasn't so bright. "Hey, you alright?"

The doll squinted up at him with a dawning sense of recognition on her face. "Negi-sensei? Did you come for me?"

"No... I'm Naruto... I don't know a Negi-sensei..." Naruto answered, stepping aside so she could see him better. When she saw the blonde hair and whisker marks her face fell as if a final hope was destroyed.

"Hey... hey... don't be like that... I'm sure we can find your teacher..." Naruto tried to reassure her as tears rolled down her cheeks. He never could stand to see a cute girl cry. "Let's start over... I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and you are?"

"Sayo Aisaka..." she replied between sniffles. He sniffles died off as the white object popped up over his shoulder and snuggled up against the poor girl. "Zumi-chan... she's still alive..."

Naruto watched the ghost girl hugging the object, and took in more details about it. It was an oval cylinder with a stick off the bottom of it, and two hollow ones sticking off the sides which he could feel air coming out of. There was a small lens that he recognizes as a camera watching over Sayo.

"Aisaka-san..." Naruto started before being cut off by the pale girl.

"Call me Sayo-chan please... let's be friends..."

"Sayo-chan... is that Zumi-chan?" Naruto asked curiously while pointing at the flying little device careful to not touch it. "No... it's one of her remote cameras... it wouldn't work if she wasn't still alive somewhere... Please Naruto-san, please help me find her... even if she's in the magical world..."

"I... I'll help you," Naruto answered while patting her on the head gently. "That's a promise of a lifetime!"

"I... I think I can trust you..." Sayo replied before glomping Naruto hard. "Thank you!"

Naruto hugged her back awkwardly before something occurred to his confused mind. After pulling her back a little. "Ano... what's the magical world?"
