Chapter 1: Normal Days...?

Takashima Middle School

It was 2:04 PM. A 13-year-old girl was leaving a normal day at school. But knowing this fic, things would get interesting.

The girl lived in a brownish-red roofed house in Tokyo, Japan. Her name was Kariko Sanomi. She had shoulder length black hair and her eyes were brownish black. She was wearing a white shirt under a sky blue sleeveless shirt that had a knot tied in the middle making it show the white sleeves. She wore tanned shorts that had a butterfly designed in the left pocket. Wearing white sneakers she ran out of science class and began to rush to her locker. The combo wasn't hard to know since it was on the top of her head.

/I just need my backpack and go/ Sanomi thought. There were always people crowding around her locker because they were so slow. After all the people were gone for the next two minutes she did her combo and got her light blue backpack. She went down to her knees, feeling the multi-colored carpet placed around the school, and unzipped the large pocket putting her purple binder inside.

/Do I need anything else/ Sanomi thought for a minute.

/Wait a minute! It's the last day of school! Silly me...Yeah/ Sanomi hit herself in the head and carried all her stuff.

/Wait...Olivia.../

Olivia Wong was her best friend since last year. She was skinny and tall like Sanomi. Probably like 4'10 and a few inches. She had highlighted hair that was mixed with black and light brown. She wore a white T-shirt and black silvery pants. They had played flute together and she had a huge crush on someone. But densely, she couldn't say anything to the boy. And she had to move to a different city.

Sanomi sighed and she walked out of the school seeing the huge crowd of students walking out of a brown gate. She held her smallest cell phone and powered it up. She held the keys to the house also everyday. After a couple of pushes and shoves Sanomi got out of the huge crowd to make herself comfortable.

The school had a nice appearance. There was a plum tree that had blossom petals falling gracefully as students were chattering with summer excitement. It was a large and brown school. The school colors were blue, orange, and white and it was a nice combo for a logo, which was a hawk. She said good-bye to a lot of her friends...

She saw Olivia with a frown on her face knowing that it was the faithful day. They walked together for the last time and Olivia saw her dad. Sanomi faced Olivia with a frown.

"Well...I guess this is sayonara..." Sanomi whispered to the girl. They were over by a small tree. Olivia's father was waiting impatiently.

"I know..." Olivia whispered back. There was a harsh silence and Sanomi had no choice but to hug her true friend.

"Kiwotsukete..." Sanomi burst into tears. Olivia patted her shoulder as she hugged back.

"Okay...sayonara..." Olivia hid her tears in her round spectacles and she turned away.

"Onegai..." Olivia turned to face Sanomi as they spoke for the last time.

"Onegai email." Sanomi turned away.

"Hai." Olivia went inside a blue van and she closed the sliding door. She stared at Sanomi for a long time and her father asked her if she needed more time. Olivia shook her head and she waved faintly. Sanomi waved back and the blue van drove away out of existence.

"Sayonara..." Sanomi turned her back and she began to walk home.

000000000000000000000000000

The bright sun wouldn't be able to cheer the dark haired girl up. She kept making small smiles but they turned into frowns. She gazed at the cloudless sky and she saw a couple of houses that looked the same as her own house.

/Livi.../ Sanomi thought sadly. Then something was able to shock her in mental breakdown. She saw a strange black door. It had kanji writing and it was Japanese writing that she was familiar of. It hid beneath the trees of a small shortcut that she doesn't use often. But since she wanted to be alone she took the special shortcut.

/A door? For what/ Sanomi took her case that had a flute inside and she stared at the letters clearly.

"N-N-aruto?" Sanomi was shocked. That was her favorite anime series on TV. But why on earth would it be in a door?

000000000000000000000000000

Sanomi looked around seeing that no one was around to see her move. She opened the door awkwardly to see what was inside. Knowing what was inside made her very curious. She gasped. It was a large forest filled with tall trees and bushes that had beetles and caterpillars eating the greenish leaves. Sanomi walked closer and abruptly the door closed shut behind her. Sanomi rattled the door and it was locked.

Ninja World

/Oh no/ Sanomi pounded the door but it was tight. Sanomi had all her stuff luckily. She didn't know what to do. She wasn't paying attention to reality that she shook her head.

/Well...I have to travel around and see what 'Naruto' meant./ Sanomi thought clearly. She took a small step and began to walk rather quickly. She didn't want to get caught knowing that there were probably strangers.

Searching around she saw something amazing. She saw a waterfall that looked like it had clear and clean water. She put her stuff in a small tree and sat down not knowing what to do. She stared at her reflection and saw Olivia's reflection also. Sanomi had massive emotions running through her and she slapped the cool water making the reflection vanish. She began to wash her face that had dried tears and she was wondering how to get out. But she needed to be calm and cautious. Then something crossed her mind.

/My cell phone.../ Sanomi dialed a number that reached her older brother's cell phone. But she was shocked.

"No...no contact?" Sanomi stared at those words that came up from her cell phone.

/Come on...think! What should I do/ Sanomi thought calmly and she stared at her instrument.

/I...I should play. That will relieve my stress./

Sanomi began to put together the flute that was in separate pieces. She saw a small path that was behind the waterfall and she sat in a large flat rock. She was in her position to play and she played a special fiddling tune: The Irish Pipers. She played it in the concert once and she was one of the first chair flute players meaning that she was the overall best flute player in the band.

Da da de ata

She took a breath because it was in rapid speed. It was a fun piece to play and she couldn't believe that she could do it that fast. Then she heard something behind the bushes. Using her flute as a weapon she was about to swing it at the attacker but she stopped and gazed.

/Sakura/ Sanomi stared at the emerald eyes and long pink hair. She was wearing a red dress that had white outlines. Sakura made a small smile and walked over to Sanomi. With shock Sanomi took a step back every time Sakura comes close.

"It's okay."

Sanomi opened her eyes and saw that the pink kunoichi was a regular nice girl. In the anime Sanomi always thinks she's vicious but she has to cope with what's going to happen next.

"Huh?"

"I...I heard the tune and...I followed it." Sakura answered.

"It was wonderful." Sanomi gazed at her emerald eyes, then to her flute.

"You really think so?" Sanomi stood up and felt the rushing mist of the waterfall.

"Yeah." Sakura gazed at the girl's appearance and made a frown.

"Don't you have a headband?"

"Headband?" Sanomi forgot. She gazed at Sakura's headband that had the Hidden in the Leaves insignia. Sanomi sadly frowned.

"You see..." Sanomi began until a shout had echoed through the forest.

"SAKURA-CHAN!" It was a hyper voice.

/Naruto.../ Sakura thought. Sanomi started to panic and she hid in a bush. Sakura was about to stop her but Naruto already appeared.

"Naruto! What do you want?" Sakura asked bitterly. Sanomi heard the whole conversation and she saw the orange suited boy jumping around. She laughed quietly and kept herself hidden.

"Kakashi-sensei's looking for you. We are already done with training for today." Naruto responded.

"Oh. Okay. Just...go on without me. I have to refill the canteen." Sakura got out her fully watered canteen and she blushed.

"But you just refilled it a while ago." Naruto felt like he was the smart one now.

"Well...it's for traveling a lot okay? Just go!" Sakura commanded him. Naruto got suspicious and rubbed his blond hair. He left Sakura as he jumped high in the trees and began to meet with the rest of the team. Sakura put the canteen away and waited for the girl to come out.

"Uh...is it okay to come out?" Sanomi asked behind the bush. Sakura turned and nodded. Sanomi rustled herself out and a couple of leaves were on her hair.

"So what were you saying earlier?" Sakura asked.

"Uh...oh that. Well..." Sanomi took Sakura's hand and she led her to the door that led Sanomi to the whole ninja world.
