Chapter 7

Flashback
Onee-chan! Onee-chan, wake up! You have to take me to school! Are you still sleeping? Come on! whined a little boy with bright blue eyes and blond hair. He banged on the apartment door his beloved sister lived in. Oneeee-cchhaannnn!
The door opened with a flash and the little blond boy was pulled in. The door slammed closed and in front of the little boy was a messy girl. She wore nothing but her bra and underwear. Her hair was in a tangle and sleep was in her eyes. Naru-chan! Im trying to sleep! whined the girl as she slumped to the ground and curled up to get some more sleep.
But you promised to take me to school! You promised&said the teary eyed boy. He rubbed his eye and squatted down to the ground.
Eh! Eh! Down cry sweetie. I was just kidding. See! smoke appeared as something went poof. A girl with half her green- black hair pinned up with long needles was kneeling in front of the little boy. She wore a pair of shorts with a wrapping around her waist. The shorts ended at mid thigh and the wrapping ended at knee length. The wrapping had slits on the side up to her waist and was tied at the left side with excess cloth. Bandages wrapped around her left calf and upper right thigh. Her upper body was wrapped with bandages to cover her breasts, leaving her stomach exposed; little tiny writing could be seen.
The little boy didnt look up. He stayed where he was and quietly rubbed his eyes. The older girl seeing this smiled a small soft smile. Lifting her arms she wrapped them around the smaller boy pulling him to her chest. My little Naruto. Im sorry. That wasnt a good joke. Not a very good one at all. I promised to take you to school and thats what I plan to do, she slowly rocked Naruto back and forth. She stopped when felt Naruto was more stable and pulled back to look at his face. Feel better? she asked with closed eye squint and wide smile.
Uh-huh. mumbled Naruto as he hiccupped.
Good. Now get up caused youre cutting off circulation to my legs. Naruto quickly got up from his position on the girls lap.
Ah. Damn. My legs asleep. Its all fizzy feeling. Pleh. she said as she stood and stretched. She looked down and met eyes with the 5 year old Naruto. He wore a white shirt with a reddish-brown swirl on the front. Adorning his waist was a pair of navy blue shorts. Reaching down she dusted off any lint that may have been of the clothes. After she was finished checking if there was any dirt or anything that might have been due to someone picking on him she asked if he had breakfast yet.
Mm-hm. I had some cup ramen! Naruto yelled as he hopped around on one foot to the other.
You did, did you. Well having it once every two weeks is good, but having it every day is bad. Are you drinking your milk? asked the girl.
Mm-hm! Cant you see? asked Naruto as he raised his arm and showed off his mouse muscle.
Ah! Its so big! Grow up to be strong just like me! the girl said as she did the same thing and laughed. Walking over to the closet she grabbed a fishnet t-shirt off the hanger and went to the kitchen. Coming back with four granola bars she handed two to Naruto. Snacks. she said when Naruto looked up with confused eyes. Smiling Naruto gripped them in his hands.
Ah! Alright. What time do you have to be at the academy? she asked Naruto as she went to the door.
Um&8. Naruto said as he followed after his sister.
K. So we have half an hour till you start your first day at the academy. See, she said as she showed Naruto her little keychain watch. Are you excited? she said as she saw Naruto hop on one foot to another. She smiled as he nodded his head quickly. Well itll take 10 minutes to get there, so no worries.
Exiting the apartment and locking it they walked over to the door next door. Did you remember to lock your door? she asked as she wiggled the knob.
Yup. said Naruto.
Ok so lets go. holding out her right hand Naruto grabbed it with his free left hand, since the other hand was holding the granola bars.
Exiting the building they headed the way towards the academy. Along the way Narutos grip got tighter and tighter. Looking down the girl saw Narutos head down and clinging to her hand. Prying her hand out of Narutos, she put it on Narutos right shoulder and pulled him to her leg. Naruto looked up at her startled and with watery eyes. Smiling the girl look around her and snarled. Naruto smiled and gripped the wrapping around the girls waist. People that were in the street turned around back to what they were doing, their movements jittery and stiff.
Che. So pathetic, said the girl as they walked along their way. Ok! So here we are! Ill be here by this swing until youre inside the academy, then its your teacher whose suppose to protect and teach you. Ill be watching so nothing bad will happen. Go around and try to make friends. If they dont want to then its ok they dont know what their missing. Be good Naru-chan. Oh! and this is for you, The girl took out a blue Sony Ericsson cell phone. If you need me press 1 and then the call button. Ill be there right away. Call only if you really need me. If you can take care of it yourself then do it. Dont kill anyone. Hmmm&.I think thats all. Now go on. She said as she turned Naruto around and patted his butt in a go on motion. Naruto turned and waved then ran towards the other students.
End of flashback


Onee-chan was always so nice. a blond haired boy voiced out.
Oh? Didnt she leave you behind though? How can she be nice if she left you? an enormous being behind bars asked.
She left when Naru-nii came. I didnt want her to leave but she said she had no choice. She told me once that she never liked the village. said the little young boy.
Oh ho? Is that so? Sounds like a smart woman to me. The Konoha village is weak. Depending on those so called powerful ninjas. Che. Pathetic. The arrogant voice resounded in the dripping hallway.
Ah. mumbled the child.
&You said that the woman was in your mind somewhere. By the way you talk about her, she is a real person, not some character you made up with you mind. grumbled out an exasperated voice.
My mind wasnt moving right. I didnt want to be left alone so I wanted Onee-chan with me right away. I havent spoken to her in a very long time. I thought it was someone from inside my mind. Shes real though so I can go find her now. spoke a light voice as it realized that he wouldnt be alone for long.
Che. Stupid brat. You cant look for her. You said she left so unless you plan on leaving the village too, you cant find her. Now this conversation is getting irritating, so leave. the fox behind bars said as a tail twitched.

Blue eyes opened to stare up at the cracked ceiling. Reaching a hand up towards the ceiling, the young boy lying on the bed stared at nothing in particular. Tears slid down the corners of the eyes into blond-red hair, disappearing and never telling their story.
Im lonely. whispered the dull eyed boy.
