1 Chapter 1

The train was bounding through the tunnel towards its destination, a quaint town that had been untouched by the rapid urbanization that spread throughout Japan. Surprisingly, there were only two young teenagers who were in the car, probably since most people had gotten off on earlier stops.

The first looked to be around the age of 15 and had longer spiky black hair. He was tanner and had very vibrant blue eyes, but the most defining feature on his face were six whisker-like scars, three on each cheek, which gave him a feral appearance. He wore very plain clothes, a solid black T-shirt with a pair of white cargo pants.

The second looked like a polar opposite. Though she looked to be the same age she had longer midnight-blue hair that reached the middle of her back. Overall she was very pale, even her eyes were a pale lavender color, and it was clear that she never spent too much time outside. She was wearing a plain white sundress, definitely made for travel rather than for fashion.

Naruto was staring at the ground, wishing the awkward silence would just end. "That's right!"

His sister turned her head from looking out the window to see her brother rummaging through one of the many bags they had with them. He watched him pull out a box, though she couldn't see exactly what it was. She was delightfully surprised when he offered the strange box and she saw the chocolate covered biscuit sticks known as pocky.

He offered her the box. "I forgot that I still had another-"

She narrowed her pale eyes and swiped the box from his hands. "About time."

He slumped against the back of his chair and let out a long sigh. "Just save me some, ok?"

The indigo haired girl once again watched the lush landscape of rural Japan roll by. "Whatever."

He looked back up to his sister. "So, how about you just make the uniform?"

She stopped eating and glared at him. "Why?"

He ran his hand through his blonde hair nervously. "Well, it'll just be easier that way… Then you can go whenever you're ready, and we don't exactly have a whole lot of money…"

She looked back out the window.

It was another hour before the train conductor announced their arrival over the intercom. Naruto got up with a sigh and began packing the different bags into his backpack, slightly peeved that his sister only carried her stuffed black rabbit with her.

They exited the train station to come face to face with absolutely nothing. There were only green fields that stretched into the horizon and a single road that ran past the train station. Naruto adjusted his backpack and began to walk down the road before his sister caught his shirt.

"Where are you going?"

Naruto sighed and turned around. "We've been over this Hinata, there's a large supermarket down this road and we have to go some food for the house or we won't have anything to eat tonight. Don't worry, it isn't that far away."

Naruto walked behind his sister to push her shoulders a bit. "Come on Hinata-chan! It'll be fun! I mean, this IS the place we were born!"

Despite a storm of protest he managed to push her a few steps forward before she smacked his hands off her shoulders. "FINE! I'll go, and don't you call be that."

Naruto sighed and mumbled a quick apology before the pair once again walked down the side of the road.

A honking of a car caught their attention, and Naruto turned to see a very expensive looking black Cadillac bounding down the road. "Hinata! Car!"

She didn't answer and stepped further towards the side of the road to give the car more clearance. She looked at the car and saw a pale blonde-haired girl inside watching them, and Hinata narrowed her eyes at the girl as the car sped down the road.
