I Don't Belong

Four

As you made your way into the town, you realized Sasuke wasn't anywhere to be found. You ran faster and jumped on Naruto's back, causing him to stumble forward and fall.

"H-hey!" He exclaimed, turning around to face you, "What was that for?"

You looked down at him angrily, a bit annoyed that he yelled at you. He looked back at you a bit shocked at your expression, then looked away. You placed a hand on your face, your other hand supporting your elbow, and softened your hostile expression.

"S-sorry" you stubbornly stuttered out.

Naruto gazed at you once more, placing his hands on your waist. Just as he did so, he took them off and began blushing. You leaned towards him, trying to get him to look at you again.

"What's wrong ? Have you gotten a fever ?" You reached toward his head with your hand, but he grabbed it right away.

"I-it's nothing, ok ? Let's just go already." His face remained the vermillion tint as he tried to get up, to which you pushed him back down; giving him the if-you-don't-tell-me-what's-wrong-I'll-punch-you-in-the-crotch look.

"Ok, ok" Naruto said, holding his hands up defensively. "Well, uh, you're kind of straddling me right now." He said plainly.

You looked down and saw that he was true to his word. Immediately, you shot up from your spot. Blush painted your cheeks crimson as you held out a hand for Naruto. He gladly accepted, his blush slightly faded. You looked away from him, trying to relieve your face from its cherry prison. Naruto, on the other hand, simply ignored your embarrassed gesture and tried facing you, his toothy grin cascading across his face.

"So, [y/n], what was it that you needed ?" He inquired. You glanced at him, feeling the blush burn down. "O-oh. Uhh.. Oh yeah!" You exclaimed, "Where did Sasuke go ?"

Over all the sounds of chattering merchants and villagers, you heard a rumbling within a kimono shop. The rustling noise became louder as you inched closer and closer, trying to find the source of the mystery noise. Naruto reached for you, already knowing where the noises came from, and shielded you behind him in hopes you wouldn't get hurt. Finally, two girls wrestled out of the shop, angrily pulling each other's hair and punching each other. They stop in front of you guys, staring intently.

"Naruto ! I know it was you ! Who was the girl that said my loves name ?" A pink haired girl proclaimed, pointing a finger towards Naruto.

"Uhm, excuse you, but he's MY love. Back off !" A blonde girl retorted back.

The two girl were about to go at it when Naruto cut them off, gesturing towards you. The two girls paused, staring at your small figure. You blushed, and hid behind Naruto. Then, the pink haired girl stepped towards you. You peeked over Naruto's shoulder to observe the two girls.

First, there was the girl who stepped forward. She had softened her gazed upon noticing your shy demeanor. She was calm and careful, not as monstrous as when she first appeared. The pink haired girl gave you a smile, to which you returned. You gazed into her eyes. Her sparkling emerald eyes held love, similar to those of a mothers to her young; and her hair, you thought, had resembled that of cotton candy. Then you noticed her outfit : a deep red qipao with dark green biker shorts underneath. It's beautiful design accompanied with an outline of white and a zipper down the middle. On her feet she wore the all-too-known dark blue sandals and on her head was placed the matching dark blue headband with the same symbol as Naruto and Sasuke's.

You quietly nodded your head at her in approval then moved onto the blonde behind her.

The blonde was fairly skinny and was about as tall as the pink haired female. She had her hair tied in a ponytail, swiftly swaying at the middle of her back, and her bangs resting on the right side of her face. Her ocean hued eyes held a beady stare on you as you observed her. You hadn't noticed it until you looked into her shimmering eyes. Then a ruminate look held her face, as well as a look of surprise and confusion. You didn't mind the glare though, as you felt you've dealt with it many times. Rolling your eyes, you moved to her outfit. She wore a purple high collared crop top and a matching colored skirt. Bandages were wrapped around her abdomen and legs as if she'd recently been in a fight. The same headband as Naruto and the others wore, was placed around her waist as a belt, and white arm warmers laced up her forearms. You cringed a little, finally seeing the common dark blue sandals wrapped around her feet.

Snickering, you stared at the blonde. You could easily tell she was easy to tease. She blushed at your actions, shocked and curious at what you found so funny about her.

"W-what's so fun-" she got cut off but another girl running up behind her.

"S-saku-ra-kun! I-ino-chan!" The girl called out.

The girl had short dark blue hair, barely reaching her chin, and was waving her hand in the air to signal her friends. She wore a cream colored jacket with a fire symbol on the upper part of her sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem. Her pants were a navy blue color, same as the agonizingly common sandals she wore. Lastly, was her headband. It was placed securely around her neck.

As she ran up to the group, you stared at her. Her beautiful white eyes stood out from her dark colored hair. You were quite intrigued, as you've never seen such elegant colored eyes(other than your own, you beautiful little butterfly)

"W-why did y-ou guys l-leave me?" The girl stuttered out quietly.

"Ino" and "Sakura" exchanged glances and smiled at the harmless looking girl.

"We're so sorry about that, Hinata! I just heard someone talking about my husband!" The pink haired girl placed a hand on her face, pretending to hide the blush from her dirty thoughts.

"Oh hush, Sakura." Ino said flatly. "He's not your husband, he's MINE."

Ino stared at Sakura as the word 'mine' rolled off her tongue. A mischievous smirk grew it's way onto the blonde's face as she watched the pinkette grow with anger. Sakura balled up her fists, ready to beat up Ino, when Hinata piped up.

"W-Who's t-that ?" She asked nervously, pointing slightly.

Ino and Sakura turned to look at what Hinata pointed at. It was you. You stood behind Naruto, peeping behind his right shoulder at what just unfolded. Standing there for a moment, still unaware of what was happening, you began to blush. All the eyes were on you. Why ? You hadn't known. You began to feel uncomfortable.

"O-oh," you stuttered out, "I-I'm [y/n]." You stepped out from behind Naruto and awkwardly waved to everyone. Cheekily, you gave free to a smile.

"So, uh, is anyone up for some ramen ?"
