Finding the Way Book 2 - Lost in the World

Ch. 5

When I left the house I kept on walking till I found Naruto laying down in a middle of a clearing. He was panting from training to hard. I looked around to see scattered kunai, and shurikins. Walking over I sat next to him.

"Feeling better Naru?"

"Yeah..."

"If you need a hug just ask anytime."  I tell him. Yes he must be frustrated but training can only do so much.
Immediately he sat up and fully hugged me. His head laying down on my shoulder. Once he was in my arms, I started to hug back.

"It's ok Naruto. Ill always be here for you. No matter what!"

"Even if I'm a monster..." I could feel tears on my shoulder.

"Naruto your not a monster. If you are then I am one too!" I tell him, I start to hug him a bit tighter as reassurance.

"I-I have a demon sealed inside me!"

"And so do I. But me and Kibi are friends. Maybe when you meet yours you can be his friend. I can tell you right now that the tailed beasts were hated before anyone tried to get to know them. They felt the same pain we do." I tell him gently. He nods his head.

Thank you Mei for accepting not just me but all of us without knowing us personally.

No problem Kibi!

"Thank you... What kind of tailed beast do you have?"

"Hehe, you see mine is a wolf with nine tails. There were two sets of tailed beasts. The second set were all sealed and killed except for mine."

"I see. That's sad seeing all your younger siblings die and not able to help. I guess you were right about them feeling pain like us. ALRIGHT! My second dream is to be friends with the Kyuubi and find out his name!" Naruto let's go of me and says determined.

"Thank you Naru." I smiled once again.
It was just a simple smile.
I look to see that our faces were once again close together. We both blushed and looked away.

"Mei-chan."

"Yeah Naru?"

"Um. Only you can call me Naru..."

"Ok!"

Then I noticed that it's gotten a lot darker and the stars were starting to shine brightly.

"Let's lay down and look at the stars! Y'know?"

I nodded. They were really pretty. Naru laid down again and I laid next to him. Slowly we both started to drift to sleep.

Timeskip till morning

I don't want to get up....
But dad will most likely worry. I opened my eyes to see I was practically on top of Naruto, who once again had his arms wrapped around my waist. I decided to pinch his cheek in order to wake him up.

"Naru~ wake up! We need to go eat."

Naruto Pov

"Ok Mei chan ok." I'm still half asleep. Once we got up, I grabbed her hand with mine. I did it subconsciously, it was like instinct to be close to her. I liked being near her, it felt right to be.
I looked back to see her cheeks turn a rosy color. She looked up and saw me starring at her, I smiled at her tilting my head a little. Then I noticed how long my hair had gotten. I should probably cut it. Taking a piece of hair I look at it.

"Ne Naru, I like you long hair!"

"Then I guess I won't cut it. Right Mei- chan?"
I leaned closer to her, teasing her a bit.

"Stop teasing me!" She poured a bit.
I just grin again. Around her I can just be the real me! Guess I should start acting like I want to then y'know.

Finally we made it too Tazuna's house. Opening the door we made our way to our seats. The only seats left were the two across from each other. So I had to let go of Mei-chans hand. The meal was great except for Kakashi sensei was trying to kill me with his glare. Sakura looked like she was going to explode, with that creepy smile on her face. Sasuke was smirking at me then took a glance at Mei then look back at me.

"Ok! Team we are going to train while we can. Zabuza and Haku will stay here to watch everything, I'll be going with Tazuna after I show you what to do and Mei will go and do her own training." Kakashi sensei says. Why does Mei chan have a separate training than us. By the looks of it Zabuza and Haku already knows why. Before I could ask Sasuke asked.

"Why does she have a different trading than us?" He seemed very angry.

"That's because she already mastered this training even before she found me. Not only that but her training is above all of ours. Before she became a genin she was given A class and S class missions. On her first mission she was in the bingo book. Not only was she the youngest on the book but she was also the highest. Her training is more deadly. So I can't risk you guys being anywhere near her." Kakashi said simply.

Sasuke seemed to calm down a bit with that explanation. Then Sakura decided to ask more questions.

"Did you train her?"

"No. When we met she was already jonin level at the age of six. Like Zabuza, Mei trained with rogue ninjas that knew her mother and trained with her mother with their own jutsu."

"You mentioned she had a doujutsu. What is it?"

"Mei do you want to answer that?" Kakashi sensei asked. Mei nodded and started to speak seriously.

"I warn you this. My Kekkei genkai is very dangerous, it's one that could kill with just one look if the user wanted you too. It's also the reason why my clan perished. The man who slaughtered them wanted my eyes considering I was the youngest of the holders."

"Why does it matter that you were the youngest?"

"When the parents die their eyes disappear and transfers to the first born child, or whichever child holds the eyes. Only one child is born with them. Anyway, the eyes are just like the Sharingan and byakugan. These eyes don't have a weakness like them. The Sharingan needs to be transplanted with another Sharingan in order for them to not go blind. And the byakugan has a weakness that not many know about but my eyes don't have that weakness. They can copy any jutsu I wanted, kekkei genkai or not, I can copy it."

Wow that's interesting. Mei-chan is so powerful believe it!!
