Minxie Patterson lived an average life... Until the day she ended up getting sucked into the Naruto world due to a chaotic storm. Now, as a Leaf shinobi, she's on Team 7, along with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. They have a complicated relationship and tend to be extremely dysfunction, but they're still a great team. In the ninja world, Minxie is happier than ever, although she does meet a talking leopard and a psychopath or two, as if that's where she belongs. But what happens when she finds out that she really does belong there, since it's her birthplace? Wanting to solve the mystery of who she is, she's determined to figure out why she needs a Guardian, and why she was sent to Earth in the first place. However, as Minxie soon realizes, some secrets are better left unknown.

****Winner of the Most Popular Naruto Fanfic Watty Award 2013/14**** **Currently being rewritten as the original is old and awful in this author's opinion** A coming of age story about a young Ninja, confused and hurt by the instances in her past, struggling to find her place and figure out what it all means. Can the kindness of a new Village warm a heart that time has taught to be cold and cruel? Can new friendships replace broken bonds, lost to the past? Is it safer to stay, or is it safer to run? A story not about one's physical strength, or of obtaining great power, but a story of overcoming and learning to change as old wounds heal.

Those born with demon's blood in the Ookami Clan are destined for a sad and painful life; shunned by their clan. Hisayo is one such half-demon born into the clan. Akio, the only member of the clan that has accepted her for what she is, wishes to change the over two century old views that the clan has of those born of demon decent. Sixteen years after Akio has adopted Hisayo, they find themselves in the village of Konoha where Akio hopes to form the kind of bonds needed. There is one tiny problem though...Hisayo's past has made her hesistant to form ties to anyone, fearful of what others would think if they knew what she was... Will she be able to overcome such fears and find people who will accept her for what she is, or will she be hated and treated no differently than her old clan?

The hole in someone's heart can be physical like a kunai wound, but it can also be unseen. [Eventual Kakashi Hatake x OC] This story contains: occasional language, violence, epic ninja battles, and Kakashi being awesome. Also, there are major spoilers for both Naruto and Naruto Shippuden; you have been warned. I do not own Naruto or any characters, dialogue, or plot from the original show nor do I own any of the pictures at the beginning of each chapter as they are from Google. However, my plot, cover and OC's are original. Public Service Announcement: This is the first story idea that I have ever bothered to write down (usually I'm too lazy to do more than just come up with the idea for a story) so the first few chapters are a little lacking in my opinion and title is stupid since I can't name things for the life of me. However, I personally think that it really improves as it goes on, and I'm able to find my voice a little more. I have gone back through and edited, but I'm too lazy to do a full rewrite, sorry. Well then, that's all that I need to say... I hope that you enjoy it!

The sequel to Beauty is the Beast (Kakashi Love Story): Nearly two years after the events of Beauty is the Beast and the start of the Naruto series.
