Coming back to Japan from America, she's allowed to join the basketball team at Seirin High only after striking a deal with her demanding father.

And honestly? Masami's not an ordinary girl. She easily led her team in America to victory without a hitch. Right before her brother passed away in front of her eyes, Masami made a promise to him - a promise that will change the future for everyone. But how can she when Japan is a country that frowns upon females playing basketball? "Just you wait, onii-san. I'll make our dreams come true!"

Disclaimer: I do not own Luffy, Shanks or any of the other characters from One Piece. I only own Emiko and any other characters I may create along the way. You don't have to have seen the show to understand the book though it would help. The book is set when Luffy is still a kid and therefore the plot is mostly my own. Enjoy!

Despite her protests, the red haired pirate finds himself wanting to get to know more about the girl who he names Emiko. Will he be able to fix the broken girl he is falling for? Will she let him? Will she let him carry some of the burden or continue on carrying it on her shoulders alone?

"Why me? Why am I always the one that's different? It isn't fair! This pain of being all alone is suffocating, why should anyone other than yourself have the right to decide how you get to live your life? I'll show you all! I'll show you that I'm not the monster you label me as! I'm innocent, I didn't do it!" I've been called every name in the book, but I don't care. I was used to all the insults and the villagers hating me. One thing I wasn't used to though, was love. I didn't know a thing about it, what did it feel like? How were you supposed to know you were feeling it? I soon found the answers to my questions when I got taken back into the Hidden Leaf Village and placed on Minato's team. There are some things I learned from him, and things I learned from my teammates. Things I'll never forget. Minato taught me what it's like to have someone who cares for you, someone who would protect you, someone that will love you no matter what you are. Or what you've done.

The Kudakitsune or Pipe Fox is a yokai/demon/spirit that dwells in a pipe. They are spirits destined to serve their fated master until their master dies and they have to find a new one. Meet Hayashi Tsubame, she is one of them and her power is very great among the yokai of the 'dark' side. She is a pipe fox with nine tails which is seemingly rare among pipe foxes. Who her fated master is? Out of all the people in the world........she ended up with Hatake Kakashi, a Jounin of Konohagakure. However, even though others may say that he is a pervert and a lazy jounin who's usually late and makes lame excuses, she doesn't regret him being her fated master. How the story ends you ask? Well, you're going to have to read this story then. ~Disclaimer~ I do not own NARUTO, Kishimoto Masashi does. I only own Tsubame and other OCs that will appear in the story. Also, I do not own whatever character that appears here which are from different animes or manga.

Saya has always been cynical and rude and blunt and sometimes just mean, everything you would see in a bully. Due to her past with her betraying clan, she no longer trusts as much and she doesn't like making friends. But when she decided to try Konoha after leaving her last tragedy behind, her heart becomes entangled with loyalty and friendship and.....maybe a certain sensei making her heart pound to a rhythm she was unfamiliar with. Even through all this, she can't escape her past because sooner or later, it begins to haunt her future. When she realizes what it means to be a prodigy of her clan, will she be willing to pay the price?
