****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.

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.

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.

Meet Sanya. She is cold, heartless, and curious when it comes to outsiders. However, she is loving, caring, protective, and wouldn't hesitate to kill you if you mess with her twin, Gaara.
