~ Naruto's view ~

I had that dream again. Why did I have that dream again? I know that the nine-tailed fox is sealed in me, but I still don't understand the dream. I never see myself in the mirror, no matter how hard I look for myself.

I am sweating all over the place. My heart is racing. I hate that dream. It is one o'clock in the morning. I could actually sleep a few more hours, but then I'll have that dream again. I decide to take a shower, hoping to finally forget this dream.


~ Marina's view ~

Tired and sweaty, I open my eyes. I am afraid of this dream. What if the dream is my future? What if everyone really dies? I could never forgive myself. I know that this wolf is deep inside me, that's why I always see him as my reflection.

Tears are gathering in my eyes. Fortunately, I am alone. Nobody should see me crying and the reason is always this dream.I could fight for it. I'm crying around here and it's just because of this dream. He is cruel.


~ Naruto's view ~

The cool water is good for me. Still, I keep thinking about the dream. What does the nine-tailed man always want from me? The seal is still intact, isn't it? What if I really lose control of him? Oh man, I didn't mean to think about that dream. But why am I doing it anyway? Because the dream is part of me? Because this dream comes back night after night? Because it's the same every night?

I turn off the water and look at the sign that's pictured on my stomach. It looks like it always does. Shortly after my birth, the nine-tailed man was sealed in me. It is said to have been a terrible fight, a fight because we only narrowly won. But nobody is talking about this fight. Nobody wants to talk about it. And when they do, they only talk behind my back. I hate it. I am an outsider to them.But I have a big dream. I want to become a Hokage and then they will see what I am capable of. Then everyone will pay attention to me and no longer despise me. Then I'll be the strongest in the whole village.

Should I try to sleep again? I know that we're getting a visit from Sky-Ninja Chunins today so that we can show what we've learned so far. It is said that the Sky Ninjas can float with the help of their chakra, but nobody really knows how. Could they teach me to levitate? It is definitely a great feeling when you are floating. I imagine it to be really interesting. I also want to be able to float. What other techniques do they have? Are they strong ninjas? I'm really looking forward to meeting you. When will it finally happen?


~ Marina's view ~

I still lie awake. I'm so tired. Why can't I just go back to sleep? Is it just because of this dream or is my excitement just too big?I think a new journey is ahead of us. We will go to another village and show what we can there. But why do we always have to fight? I'm the best fighter on the team, but I don't really want to fight. But I want to protect my village from enemies and I can only do that as a ninja. I already belong to the Chunins. It was a long way, but I made it.

"Marina! Wake up! We want to go."
I open my eyes tired. I seem to have fallen asleep again. My teammate stands in front of me.
"What time is it Ranma?"
"Late enough to finally get up."
"But I do not want to."
"It's already 6 o'clock in the morning and we want to leave in half an hour."
"What!"
I am startled.
"Couldn't you have woken me earlier?"
"But otherwise you're the one who always wakes us up."
"You are right."
He goes to the door.
"Hurry up, otherwise we will leave without you."
He's going out. I change clothes quickly and then go to my team, which is already waiting for me.~ Naruto's view ~

I just couldn't get back to sleep. I stand excitedly at the gate and wait for the Sky Ninjas to finally come. I know it will take a while, but I'm already here anyway. What kind of teams will come? Hopefully the Sky Ninjas won't send their weakest team. Please make it a strong team.
"Naruto? What are you doing here?"
I turn around. It's Sensei Kakashi.
"I'm waiting for the Sky Ninjas."
"I already thought so. But it will take at least 6 hours until you are here, and only if you make good progress."
"What! That long?"
"Yes, unfortunately."
"How many are actually going to come?"
"A team."
"Do you know more about the team?"
"It should be the strongest Chunin team you have at the moment."
"That's great!"
So it's really a very strong team.
"Let's go practice a little more, then the time will go by faster."
I nod and go after Sensei Kakashi.Arrived at the training area, Sasuke and Sakura are already waiting for us.
"There you are at last Master Kakshi," says Sakura.
"Yes, and I brought Naruto with me too."
"How did you get Naruto out of bed?" Asks Sasuke.
"Not at all. I stood at the gate and waited for the Sky Ninjas."
"But they won't come for a few hours", says Sasuke.
"I know that now too."
Sakura starts laughing.
"What is there to laugh about?" I ask, slightly angry.
"I only laugh because you know something too."
"Yes / Yes."
Suddenly someone comes up to us. It's Hinata.
"Good morning Hinata!" I cheerfully call out to her.
"Gu gu good morning.", She stutters and turns red in the face.
She looks really cute.
"Do you want to train with us?" I ask her.
She shakes her head.
"But why are you here then?"


~ Hinata's view ~

Has he really asked me that now? I would like to say now: 'Because I wanted to see you. 'But I just can't get it out."I don't remember that." I say.
His ocean blue eyes look at me. I love you Naruto, even though you may never know. If you only knew how much I love you I loved you from the start.
"..nata? Hinata?"
His soft voice gets me out of my thoughts.
"Wa wa what is Naruto?"
Why do I always stutter around him?
"Come on with Hinata."
He takes my hand. I get red in the face. To be around him is wonderful.

After a few minutes we stop and he lets go of my hand. Too bad.
"What wa what did you want from me?"
"I i ..."
Why is he stuttering?
"Wait, I'll get us something to drink."
He goes away. What did he want from me?


~ Naruto's view ~

Oh man, how am I supposed to tell her? It's just a few words. When did I realize how cute Hinata is? I think it's been a while. She has beautiful eyes. And then there is this special ability.The Byakugan. She's just afraid to use this ability. She is really pretty. I think she's even prettier than Sakura. And yet I'm scared. In my dream she was one of those killed by the nine-tailed fox.

I finally got to the drinks machine. I get two drinks and go back to Hinata. I hope she was waiting for me.

There she is. Your hair is blowing in the wind. I don't trust her. What if she doesn't like me I could understand. Who wants to be with someone like me? Should I tell her now or not?


~ Hinata's view ~

I turn around. There is Naruto. But why doesn't he come here? His eyes are fixed on the floor. Now he looks at me and comes to me. He doesn't smile. He looks serious. Has anything happened? When he's just in front of me, I ask:
"Has anything happened?"
He looks at me. After a while he nods. But I don't expect what happens then.He kisses me My eyes widen The feelings inside of me are getting stronger. A pleasant warmth surrounds me. But then he ends the kiss. He turns away.
"Why did you do that?" I ask him.
He turns back to me. His eyes are on the ground again.
"I love you," he says softly.
Did he really say that? Did he really say the three words?
"What?" I ask him.
Now he's looking at me. You can see despair in his eyes and yet he says again:
"I love you Hinata."
"Really?"
He nods. My eyes light up and I give him a kiss too.
"I love you too, Naruto."
Suddenly his eyes also start to shine and he hugs and kisses me again.


~ Marina's view ~

We're finally on our way. Our Sensei Aido goes ahead and Ranma, Rori and I follow. My mind is still on the dream.
"... rina? Marina?"
Ranma's voice pulls me out of my thoughts."What is it?"
"Do you think our opponents are strong?" Asks Rori.
"I'm sure you are strong," I reply.
"I hope so too, otherwise it would be boring."
Rori really is a number of its own. He's chewing gum all the time. Ranma and I got used to it a long time ago.

We keep talking. Suddenly a strong wind comes up and takes me with it. But the wind was not of natural origin. I feel that.


~ Ranma's view ~

The wind raised a lot of dust. For a moment I couldn't see anything.
"Are you okay, Ranma?" Asks our Sensei Aido.
"Yes, everything is okay with me, but what about the others?"
"Rori is okay too, but Marina has been separated from us."
"What!"
Startled, I look around. He's right. Marina really isn't there.
"Then we have to look for her." I say.
"I know, but the wind wasn't natural."
"And that means?"
"Somebody wanted to part us.""Let's look for Marina anyway.", Says Rori, who is now standing next to us.
"But we won't part.", Says our sensei and we start looking for her.


Finally the first chapter is finished and the second is already in progress.
I hope you liked it.
I would be happy about clerks :)
