Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Alpha and Omega ❯ The Green-Eyed Monster ( Chapter 4 )

Guess what? I still down own Naruto

 

A/N I will get to the goods soon. I just figure you'd want some background information. Like who is Rei, where did she come from, how did they meet her? Things like that.

 

“Talking”

`Thinking'

 

The Green-Eyed Monster

Naruto's POV

 

Three weeks. They'd been in Otaku three weeks and Naruto had seen Sasuke a handful of times. He spent all of his time with her. Rei. They were training, talking, eating, and sometimes sleeping together. As far as he knew it wasn't sexual but Naruto wasn't exactly sure. He didn't want to doubt Sasuke, but the more time that went by the less he was so sure about he and Sasuke's relationship.

 

Hiryuu Rei was the daughter of the upcoming fire lord Takayama. He had three daughters and each had been assigned a ninja for protection. Somehow Sasuke became her ninja. Kakashi was the fire lord's protector, and Naruto somehow only had guard duty for the house. Besides the three Konohoa ninjas the fire lord had a few of his own. Including Rei, Naruto didn't know the story behind why she wasn't allowed to help. Honestly he didn't care he just wanted to get Sasuke back and go home.

 

Naruto sighed,'I don't know what I'm getting so worked up about. Sasuke and I are rivals. This could only go on for so long. I knew he wanted to revive his clan'

 

His thoughts weren't any comfort to him. The young ninja could still feel his heart breaking.

 

“Naruto-kun?” a nervous voice asked.

 

Naruto turned around to see it was a young lady and she was holding a note.

 

“This is from Kakashi-sama. He said to give it to you.” The girl bowed deeply then quickly scampered away.

 

Naruto opened the note. “Son of a bitch.” He said out loud drawing attention to himself.

 

Rei's POV

 

Rei sat on the stool of the best ramen vendor in town. She was waiting for him. Hopefully this would go well.

 

“Hiryuu?” a slightly annoyed voice came from behind her.

“I see you got Kakashi-sama's note Uzumaki.” She supposed they were on last name basis for some reason.

 

“I thought Sasuke was your ninja?”

 

“All the ninja have switched places for awhile. If someone is trying to kill Lord Takayama then we need to make sure things constantly change. That way it's harder to plan an attack.”

 

“Here is your ramen Lady Hiryuu.” The vendor set a bowl of ramen in front of her, and then another next to where she was sitting.

 

“Are you just going to stand there or will you sit and eat with me?” She said breaking her chopsticks.

 

Naruto hesitated then sat down and ate in silence.

 

Rei didn't know Naruto very well but she knew silence was bad. From what Sasuke told her he was loud, sometimes funny, but always a delight to be around and ramen was his favorite. This is why she picked this place, although ramen was also her favorite.

 

When they were finished she paid the vendor and turned to Naruto.

 

“I suppose you have the wrong impression of me.” She said catching Naruto in her gaze.

 

She was taken back a second by the intensity of his blue eyes. She continued, “I'm not trying to take Sasuke from you. We just get along really well. I mean he chatters on and on and on about you.”

 

Naruto laughed, “Sasuke chattering? Sure.”

 

“No seriously, he told me about your first meeting. He told me how you didn't initially get along. He's told me like his whole life story. He said I was easy to talk to. He said that I kind of reminded him of you and that he wanted us to get along.”

 

“So Sasuke is the real reason all the guards were changed?”

 

“We still have threats.”

 

Naruto went silent again. Rei wasn't sure what to say next. Maybe they could do something that would help them become closer.

 

“You want to train some?” she asked hopefully.

 

Naruto nodded, “Sure, it'd be nice to stretch my muscles.”

They walked in silence to the training field. This was insane. Sasuke talked so much about how easy going and carefree Naruto was. This was not that Naruto. He was reserved, he hadn't made one joke and there was no stupid grin on his face. Rei only sighed.

 

“This is it.”

 

They took their fighting stances. There was no use in a nice chat before the spar. Rei could tell Naruto had nothing to say to her.

 

She charged him. He was faster than she expected but not faster than Sasuke.

 

“Kage bunshin no jutsu” he yelled.

 

Five Naruto's started attacking her. She disbursed them with her liquid fire. When the fog cleared Naruto was charging through it and she was met with a fist in her face. She flew backwards losing her balance slightly.

 

“You actually hit me in the face.” She looked at him surprised.

 

“I thought this was a fight. Maybe you want me to go easy on you?” Naruto sneered.

 

Rei ground her teeth. Since Naruto was going to get serious, than she would get serious also.

 

Naruto's PoV

 

It made him feel so much better to hit her in the face. Naruto wasn't sure why he was so jealous but beating her up made him feel better. Perhaps it was because his pride was so hurt. He knew Sasuke valued a good ninja. He'd still have a chance as long as he was a better ninja than she was.

 

He watched her make her hand seals. When she was done she was holding a sword made from the same orange liquid fire.

 

So that punch to the face pissed her off.

 

Naruto conjured two more clones to make his rasengan.

 

She charged then, the fire blade slicing through the air barely missing his face. He met her angry sword with rasengan. The power crackled between the two of them and then exploded sending each flying backwards.

 

Naruto painfully hit a tree but he saw that she'd simply bounced off it and was still standing.

 

“So now you're trying to kill me?” She said walking up to him.

 

Naruto stood up. He realized he was being foolish.

 

“Let's take a walk.” She said before he could apologize for being so hasty.

 

They walked away from the training grounds towards the sound of water. Naruto admired the terrain. It was very beautiful.

 

When they stopped they were next to a waterfall under a huge tree. The area was very serene.

 

“This is where I go to think. I haven't even brought Sasuke here.” She smiled at Naruto.

 

`She has a beautiful smile' he had to admit to himself.

 

They sat down next to the water. Rei put her feet in and stirred her big toe around some fish looking for a meal.

 

Naruto wasn't exactly sure what to say to her. She was the first to break the silence.

 

“I never knew my parents.” She said uneasily.

 

“I thought Takayama was your father.” Naruto questioned.

 

“No, I've only been here a few years. The part of my life I can remember I just wandered from city to city.”

 

“Part you can remember?”

 

“Yeah before about five or six years ago there is nothing. I can't remember a single thing. I know my name is Hiryuu Rei, I know that my bloodline limit is called liquid fire. If you asked me my parents' names, or where my village was, or how I come to learn to fight, I couldn't tell you. I just know. I do remember going from village to village and how everyone looked at me. Like I'd killed them. No one knew my story but I was the enemy. Some rouge child who would be a bad example on their children.”

 

Naruto could relate, God could he relate to her. “When did you meet Takayama?”

 

“About two years ago. I came here and I saw his oldest daughter Hana practicing throwing a kunai near here. She was so frustrated and I went to help her. We just got along when she had to go home she asked me about my home. I told her I didn't know where I came from and I didn't have any parents. She asked me to come eat dinner with her and her family. I did not know she was practically princess here. So I went, she told Takayama of my status and he said I could stay here until I felt the need to move on. He's treated me like a daughter. Having ninja sent in so that I may learn things. A year ago I went and took the chunnin exam and passed. Still there always feels like something is missing. I am grateful to him I just feel like something is missing.” Rei sighed.

 

Naruto still understood. Iruka was like a father to him but he could still tell that something was missing. It was different with Sasuke though. He was still around. When he touched him he didn't feel like there was anything missing. Maybe that's what she felt too. An odd sense of completion, having someone who can relate to you is a powerful thing. They know when you need space and when you're pretending to need space. Sasuke was good like that. Just like he could tell when Sasuke would run away from him he should chase him.

 

Everything made so much more sense now. Naruto put his feet in the water also. He could get along with this girl. She was strong, smart, warm, and it didn't hurt that she was very attractive.

 

“I'm sorry about before.” He said to here with his trademark grin.

 

Rei smiled in return, “I hope we can all be great friends.”

 

The two sat at the waters edge for awhile talking and laughing. Finding out they had much more in common than their love for Sasuke.
