Guardian Angel (A Naruto Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

Kurami yawned as her alarm woke her up, blaring loudly. With a sigh, she turned the annoying device off and rolled out of her comfortable, warm bed reluctantly. Kurami stumbled over to the window, blearily rubbing her eyes, and opened the thick curtains.

Blinding sunlight streamed into the room, lighting up every nook and cranny. Kurami smiled as she looked outside over the village, it looked beautiful in the early morning and she had to admit that she missed the sight. She then remembered that she was taking Naruto shopping today. With an excited smile, she bounded out of her room and made her way to Naruto's. She knocked gently on the door and when she received no answer, she pushed it open.

Kurami was met with the sight of her brother sprawled on his bed, hanging half off and snoring loudly. She stifled her laughter and made her way over to him.

"Naruto, wake up sweetie," she cooed in his ear.

Not even a twitch. She started to poke him and still, nothing. Pouting, she put her mouth next to her brother's ear. "WAKE UP!" She yelled loudly.

Naruto shot up, his eyes wide, and then promptly fell off his bed. Kurami gasped and hurried to his side. "I'm so sorry Naruto, are you ok?" She asked in worry.

Her brother who had been rubbing his head dazedly looked up at his sister and smiled. "I'm alright nee-chan and good morning."

Kurami smiled back, relieved. "Good morning sweetie. Now go and brush your teeth, we're going shopping."

Naruto nodded then left the room and Kurami quickly made his bed neatly before going to her own room to change clothes. Half an hour later, after a quick breakfast, the siblings left the house. Kurami grasped her brother's hand as they walked through the bustling village, ignoring the shocked whispers and stares. Naruto kept his head down in shame which made her frown. She knelt down and engulfed him in a hug.

"Naruto, I love you and I am not ashamed to be seen with you, my precious little brother. So keep your head up and ignore what people say or do, their opinions will change in time so don't bother about them for now. Just stay by my side and I will never let anything happen to you." Kurami promised , looking into her brother's eyes seriously.

Naruto sniffled before smiling at her. "Thanks nee-chan."

They carried on walking and ignored everyone else. Soon, they reached a clothes shop and Kurami ushered Naruto inside. A small bell jingled as they opened the door and an old lady at the back of the shop looked up.

"Kurami dear, is that you?"

Kurami smiled and went to hug the lady. "Akane, it's been a while."

"Five years to be exact. Where have you been?" The old lady, with graying brown hair and bright green eyes, asked inquisitively.

Kurami chuckled good naturedly. "I've been away on a training mission for the past few years,but now I'm back. Anyway, I'm here to get some clothes for me and my brother here. "

Gently, she nudged Naruto forward and he shyly greeted Akane. "Hello ma'am, my name-" he was abruptly cut off when the older lady pulled him into a hug.

"Oh sweetheart, no need for formalities, I already know who you are, just give this old lady a hug."

Naruto complied, happy that she wasn't mean like the other villagers were to him. She was very kind and her eyes were warm. Akane treated him like a normal person which made him feel grateful. "Now dearies, go and get whatever you want."

Kurami smiled and led Naruto to the boys clothing. She browsed through it until her eyes caught on the clothes at the back. They were perfect. There was an orange shirt with a large black symbol of the leaf in the middle, black trousers and a black jacket with an orange zip, hood and sleeves. She held the clothes up and asked Naruto if he liked it. He nodded his head excitedly and went off to try them on, so Kurami continued to look for some more clothes for him. She picked out a white shirt with a red swirl on the front, a couple more orange shirts with different designs on them, more trousers and a couple of different jackets. She also picked out some pajamas, socks and underwear. Kurami took the clothes and gave them to Naruto, who was in the changing rooms, to try on. She then proceeded to look for some clothes of her own.
