After that slightly frightening encounter with that boy I picked up my weapons bag and hurriedly walked off. I'll shamefully admit I got lost so I stumbled across a school and saw two homemade wooden swings.
I set my weapons bag by the tree which the swings were tied to and plopped down on one of them. This was a very nice village; most of the people here looked extremely friendly. Everything was just so beautiful. I stared around at everything as the cool breeze flowed through the air and the midnight glow of the moon fell on me like a blanket.
Even though I never did this much in my world I love to sing. I have a nice voice and I sing to express my feelings. Although if I did sing my grandfather would come into my room and beat me as he told me to shut the hell up.
However, he's not here now, I'm completely alone. I closed my eyes for a minute then took a deep breath as I started to sing.
'Heart beats fast; colors and promises.'
'How to be brave: how can I love when I'm afraid to fall.'
'But watching you stand alone.'
'All of my doubt; suddenly goes away somehow.'
'One step closer....'
'I have died everyday; waiting for you.'
'Darling don't be afraid; I have loved you.'
'For a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more.'
'Time stand still; beauty in all she is.'
'I will be brave; I will not let anything take away.'
'Whats standing in front of me.'
'Every breath; every hour has come to this.'
'One step closer....'
'I have died everyday; waiting for you.'
'Darling don't be afraid; I have loved you.'
'For a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more.'
'And all along I believed I would find you.'
'Time has brought your heart to me.'
'I have loved you.'
'For a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more.'
'One step closer....'
'One step closer....'
'I have died everyday; waiting for you.'
'Darling don't be afraid; I have loved you.'
'For a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more.'
'And all along I believed I would find you.'
'Time has brought your heart to me.'
'I have loved you.'
'For a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more.'

I sighed deeply as I finished the song and stared at the ground. That felt good; I haven't sung in quite some time.
"You have a beautiful voice! Believe it!"
My heart leapt wildly in my chest and I blushed deep red as the person sat next to me on the swing. I think it was the boy one that talked to me in the weapons shop!
Oh no!!!
I shouldn't have come here!
I nervously placed my hands in my lap and started shaking. Did he hear.... everything? I still don't know who this boy is or what he looks like. I slowly turned my head to the side to sneak a small glance at the boy. I adjusted my vision and saw a boy about my age with spiky blonde hair, sapphire blue eyes, and a orange jacket on accompanied by the same color pants.
He looked up at me and gave me a huge smile as I blushed and hurriedly looked away.
"My names Naruto Uzamaki" he said with a warm and deep smile "I don't think I've met you before! Are you new here?!"
My heart leapt in my chest and without thinking I rocketed off of the swing, and ran as fast as my legs would take me as my heart kept pumping in my chest.
~Naruto's POV~
I stared at the empty swing in surprise.
Did she just.... run away from me?
Did I scare her?
That's new, usually I disgust people away because they hate me but.... not her. I think I scared her away; I could see a small hint of fear and nervousness in her eyes but I wasn't expecting her to run off. I saw something glittering close by the swing she was on and I looked at it to see the bag of weapons she had purchased.
Oh crud!
I picked up the weapons bag and sighed deeply as I stared at the many Kunai Knifes and Shuriken inside.
Why did she run off?
I just wanted to talk. I got up from the swing and sighed again as I looked up at the stars. I hope I see that girl again, when you got past her shyness, she was actually very pretty. Especially, with her silver hair and golden eyes. I blushed suddenly then shook my head and walked home.
When I see her again I'll give her; her weapons back. Hopefully, she won't run off again. I don't know why but.... I feel like.... I've met her before?
Nah! It's probably nothing.
I think....
