Chapter One


No Ones POV


Oujou, Ame was a girl who was basically invisible. She did okay in her classes at the academy, and therefore went unnoticed by her peers. She stayed out of people's way when in public, and wore normal dark colored clothing and therefore, went unnoticed in society as well. Only one person ever noticed Ame, and that was Hokage Sarutobi. He had basically taken her in around four years ago and provided a place to stay and money so she could eat. He saved her.

Ame rarely talked to anyone.

She was not born in Konoha. She was born in Kirigakure. Because she was one of the rare people in her clan she was able to become part of the main family instead of being in the branch family like her brothers and sisters, because of this, the branch families hatred for the main family overflowed, and in a single night the main family was destroyed, save for Ame, by the branch family. Ame was saved due to the fact that her only brother that was in the main family, the eldest son, Kyou, put little seven-year-old Ame in the hay that was going to the Nara family the next morning. Ame had already watched the massacre of the main family dying and after being hidden, watched as her dear brother Kyou die, tortured really, as they asked where little Ame was.

Ame was discovered by the Nara's and was taken to the Hokage, whom felt sympathy for and helped her the best he could.

Ame graduated in the middle of her class around the time Hokage Sarutobi was murdered. Her sensei was a man by the name of Tsuyoi, Ashi. Her teammates were Aoru, and Iyashii. Aoru was at the bottom of the class, whereas Iyashii was at the top. Iyashii would constantly beat Ame up all so he could spit in her face and call her 'worthless'.

Ame heard the words "You are meaningless, worthless, you are nothing" so many times that she began to believe it.

Because that is all that she ever heard.

Meaningless.

Worthless.

Nothing.

Invisible.

Those words described Ame. Or so she thought.


Ame's POV


I woke up later than I usually do and changed into my normal black baggy shirt and navy blue slightly baggy trousers (Think Kakashi's pants), I brushed my hair and brushed my teeth before going to fix something light for breakfast. I was satisfied with an apple. I heard a noise in my room and went in to investigate, hoping that it wasn't Iyashii and Aoru again. The last time they tried to scare me I pushed them out the window they were climbing into. I walked into the room and was surprised to see three people. They all looked to be in their twenties. My eyes got wide and screamed.

"Dude, one of you shut. Her. Up!" One of the boys said.

"You are dead" I said after I calmed down a bit pointing at the three, mainly my dead brother, who was in front of me

"Well she's a smart one." The boy from before said sarcastically

"Well what would you do if this happened to you?" The girl said

"I would crash through the window and scream bloody murder as I run through the streets while waving my hands all over the place" He said

"Exactly, this just shows that she is more mature than you are." She stated with an evil glint in her eyes as she smirked at the guy.

"She is not"

"Is too"

"Is not"

"Is too"

"SHUT UP!" I yelled before taking a deep breath and asking the three dead people in my room "Now will you three please tell me what's going on here"

"Well, emoto-chan (little sister), you see, we are here to help you use and gain control of your Kekkei Genkai" My brother said

"Kekkei Genkai?" I asked confused

"Well, you are using a part of your Kekkei Genkai now, actually." My brother said

"What?"

"Face it kid, you can see dead people." The boy said. The girl decked him on top of the head for that comment.

"Shut up!" She said

"I can see dead people?" I said utterly confused and looking at my brother to basically beg him to tell me otherwise. Of course, it didn't help me that my brother was dead but I pushed the dead factor aside. He handed me a mirror and I looked in and gasped, nearly dropping the thing. My eyes were purple not their regular blue I thought as I backed away and ended up falling on top of my bed. "This can't be happening" I mumbled through my hands which were covering my face. I sat up and looked cautiously at the three dead people in my room. "So, you are here to help me use, and gain control of my Kekkei Genkai that allows me to see dead people…." I paused for a second "How do you suppose that we go along with this?" I said

"Through training!" The girl said as she pumped her fist in the air for extra boost of unneeded enthusiasm.

"No" I said bluntly

"Excuse me?" The girl said, dropping her hand down slowly and staring at me weird.

"You expect me to go through with this "training"" I said using my hands to do the quotation points as I said the word training "When I don't even know your names" I pointed to the girl and boy that I did not know. My brother slapped himself in the face.

"Idiots, I am surrounded by i.d.i.o.t.s" My brother said as he raked his face with his hands "She is Netsui" the girl waved happily as my brother said her name "And he is Shinikaru" the boy sneered in my direction and crossed his arms in front of him

"Let's go TRAIN" Netsui said while taking my arm and pushing me out the door. Kyou grabbed my keys and locked the door after everyone, ghosts included, were out. We walked along the street with Netsui in the front swinging her arms while lifting her feet rhythmically. "So this is Konohagakure" Netsui said as she spun around gracefully, "Its pretty here" she said before turning around again.

"Yeah I guess so" I answered quietly and got some weird looks from people who passed. "Listen guys" I said through my teeth "Maybe we should go somewhere private to go talk before people think I am a lunatic" Kyou nodded and grabbed my hand before dragging me in the direction of the forest. 'Yeah, now that doesn't look suspicious!' I thought angrily at my brother as I received more weird looks from the village people.

I sighed as I sat down next to a tree. I looked up at my three new "senseis" and waited for their instruction. The three of them were currently huddled together discussing something. Most likely, it has something to do with me. I sighed again and leaned my head back to look up the tree I was under.

'Before all this I barely spoke. The only person I ever spoke to really was Hokage Sarutobi. It seemed as if he was always worrying about me. I miss him'

"Okay" Shinikaru said. "It has been decided that I get to train you first. So, what are you waiting for, get up." I slowly got up, and fell down again to dodge the kick aimed at my head.

"Shit" I said before rolling to dodge another kick. I quickly got up and ducked another blow to the head.

"Attack me" he said and I quickly dodged yet another blow to my head. I looked at him as if he had three heads as I fell down to dodge a round-house kick, again to my head. "What are you waiting for?"

"You are nuts" I mumbled before attempting to hit him. He caught my fist in his hand

"Much too slow Ame" He said before he swung me around and let go of my hand, making me fly into a tree at a high speed.

"Crap" I said through gritted teeth as I slowly got up again. I blocked his kick with my hands and was sent back a couple of feet to the side. I gulped. He was strong. He dropped that leg and I had to duck, once again, to avoid being kicked. I stood up and had to block with my hands the kick he sent my way. 'This is getting me nowhere. I have to think of another way to attack him. Ah! I got it!' I thought. I dodged another kick by bending sideways. I got my balance by touching the ground with one hand and kicked upward, hitting Shinikaru under the chin and forcing him into the air. He landed feet away. I straightened myself up as he stood once again.

"Good, now the training gets harder." I gulped.

"Ow. I hate you Shinikaru." I said bluntly as I limped back home. He laughed evilly. I shot him an evil death glare that shut him up immediately.

"She has your glare Kyou" Shinikaru said, Kyou smiled

"I know" Kyou said proudly

The three ghosts followed me home before bidding me goodnight and we went our separate ways. I sighed and leaned against my door after I closed it and slid down. I put my face in my hands and took deep breaths. "How did I get myself into this mess?" I asked myself as I got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower and change into my pajamas. I fell into bed before getting under the covers. "At least tomorrow I don't have to deal with them" I said happily to myself as I fell asleep.


The Next Morning


I sleepily opened my eyes to find myself staring into someone else's deep blue eyes. I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Man! If I weren't a ghost I would be deaf now" Shinikaru said as he got off of me

"YOU! What are you doing here?" I yelled pointing my finger accusingly at the three ghosts in front of me.

"We are back to train you of course!" Netsui said happily.

"Train? Train… Oh shit, training!" I said as I ran to my bathroom and quickly changed into my regular ninja outfit. I hopped out of the bathroom attempting to tie bandages on my leg so I could hold my kunai and shuriken. I quickly got my ninja sandals on before combing my hair with my fingers as I grabbed my keys and ran out the door. My door slammed behind me as the three ghosts looked at each other and shrugged before attempting to follow me.

Once out of my apartment I ran towards the direction where training usually is. I ran around a corner and crashed into a blonde guy. I got up quickly.

"S-Sorry, late for training" I said before jumping the banister and running towards the forest.

"Yeah, sorry dattebayo" The blonde said as he looked in the direction I was running.

'I have never run so hard in my life' I thought as I skidded into the training area.

"You are late!" Aoru, Iyashii, and Ashi-sensei yelled at me and pointed an accusing finger at me. I scratched the back of my head and smiled apologetically.

"Well, Iyashii and Ame spar, and Iyashii, make sure Ame pays for being late" Ashi-sensei said as he and Aoru walked up to a tree on the other side of the clearing and Ashi-sensei leaned on the tree smirking while Aoru sat down on the floor.

I felt a hard kick come in contact with my stomach. I fell to my knees as Iyashii did a kick to my back. I fell to the ground as Iyashii continued to kick me. I didn't move, I never did, because the beatings became much worse if I tried to fight back, so I didn't. It was reasonable. Though with Shinikaru's training I had a better chance of beating the out of Iyashii, but I refused to. I closed my eyes and waited until Ashi-sensei to say that Iyashii could stop. I would get beaten longer for being late.

"That's enough Iyashii, good job"

"Worthless, meaningless, piece of shit" Iyashii said to me as he spit in my face. Aoru and Iyashii spared while I continued to just lie on the ground. Bruised and in pain until Iyashii, Aoru and Ashi-sensei left the training area, left me on the ground.

"What the hell? What was the meaning of that training session we did Ame? Seriously, you just let yourself get beat up! What the hell is wrong with you?" Shinikaru said as I brought myself up into a sitting position and wiped the spit off my cheek. I stared at the ground.

"Well, it's safe to say I hate your team." Shinikaru said as he helped me stand up. "It's also safe to say I am going to help you beat the out of the guy who did this to you. The training from here on is going to get much worse." I sighed as Netsui said it was her turn to take charge of training.

Netsui was a master at Ninjutsu, and she taught me a bunch of jutsus then made me perform them. It was insanely difficult trying to remember every seal in the correct order for around twenty new jutsus that were spoken once in around five minutes. Netsui refused to say the jutsus twice. She said that however many I remembered I kept all the ones I didn't remember were lost forever.

I didn't remember any of them.

"Augh! I have never shown the jutsus twice! You didn't even remember one! This goes against everything, but I will tell you the jutsus again" I sat on the ground this time and wrote the first letter of every seal to a jutsu, making a new line for a new jutsu. Netsui luckily wasn't paying attention to this so it amazed her when I remembered all the jutsus.

'I am glad I can think of things like that on the spot' I thought as Netsui handed me a scroll for every jutsu I remembered and was sent home by the three ghosts. I dumped the jutsus in a corner and went to take a shower, noting every new bruise I had on my body before climbing out of the shower and changing into pajamas and climbing into bed.


The Next Morning


I opened my eyes expecting to see the three ghost senseis of mine. Imagine my surprise when I didn't.

"Maybe they decided I wasn't worth it" I mumbled as I got dressed. I went into my kitchen/living room to look on in shock as Shinikaru and Netsui were basically ripping each other apart by the hair and Kyou silently making me breakfast.

"Morning Ame" Kyou said, completely ignoring the fighting couple.

"Morning Ame" Shinikaru and Netsui said in unison before glaring at each other and beginning to tear each other apart again.

"What's up with them?" I asked Kyou, jutting a thumb over my shoulder at the now wrestling couple of ghosts.

"Shinikaru said that she looked especially ugly today and Netsui replied with a comment on how small his member was" I nodded and sat down to eat breakfast. Shinikaru and Netsui joined after an unexpected victory by Kyou when he created a powerful Genjutsu that had Shinikaru and Netsui punching, kicking, and clawing the air for a while. Needless to say the show was quite entertaining.

I ate the stuff my brother gave me before leaving, the dead people who happen to be my new senseis behind me. I bumped into the same blonde I had the day before.

"S-Sorry"

"No worries… Hey! You're the girl who crashed into me yesterday!" I smiled apologetically and scratched the back of my neck.

"Yeah… Sorry?"

"Don't worry about it dattebayo"

"Dattebayo?"

"It's my saying dattebayo"

"Ah" I said looking at the blonde curiously. He was wearing an orange and blue jumpsuit and had whiskers on his face. "Do you draw those on your face?" I asked

"No, they are kind of a birthmark" He said

"Cool" I said "And all I got when I was born was a stupid Kekkei Genkai" I said as I touched the whiskers.

"WHAT?" My ghost stalkers who were my senseis screamed. Of course the boy couldn't hear them so I smirked over my shoulder.

"How old are you?"

"Eleven"

"And you're already a Genin?"

"I graduated not too long ago, and I am turning twelve soon" I said. "I am far from a genius"

"Me too, I'm Uzumaki Naruto dattebayo"

"Oujou Ame, pleasure to meet you" I said as I shook his hand. He gave me a goofy grin that made me smile as well. 'I haven't smiled in so long, probably even before the branch killed the main family' I thought. I looked at my watch. I had an hour to go to the training area my team was meeting at. "So, what are you doing up so early?" I asked

"I am going to head down to train with my team, my sensei is always late though" He said

"I'm usually the one late on my team, I hate my teammates though." I said

"I have my rival on mine"

"Ouch" I said before a thought popped into my head "Maybe we can get both of our teams to work together!"

"Yeah, and then we can fight each other!"

"Yeah" I said not-so-enthusiastic anymore. 'I don't want to fight him' I thought 'With all the training I got from just two of my senseis I could hurt him!'

"Let's go dattebayo!" (Ha! That rhymed!) I smiled as he took my hand and began to drag me to meet his teammates.

Sakura

Sasuke

A pink-haired fan girl of the blue haired emo-kid then add the blonde bombshell and his sensei who is a lazy, late, good-for-nothing and that sums up team seven. Better than mine anyway. In my team, team eleven, there is a sensei who is sexist and a bully, a bigger bully, another bully, and a worthless invisible girl, whose teammates enjoy beating up.

I hate my life…

I also have three dead stalkers.

My life SUCKS!

Kakashi, Naruto's sensei, agreed to join up with my team in training. Apparently Kakashi and Ashi-sensei hate each other with a passion. At least I'm not the only one who hates my sensei.

Ashi-sensei also agreed to train with Kakashi's group and we were teamed up to fight different people, one at a time. Sasuke was to go against Iyashii, Sakura was to go against Aoru, and Naruto and I were to go against each other. I watched happily as Iyashii got burnt to a crisp by Sasuke. I had the sudden urge to clap and cheer for Sasuke, but I refrained from doing so because I didn't want my team to beat me up in front of my new friend. Damn it all to hell! Sakura did well against Aoru, but he still ended up winning and next up was Naruto's and my battle. 'Just my luck, I finally find a friend and I have to beat him up' I thought as my teammates were yelling at me to give it up because I was a weakling and they didn't want to take me to the hospital like they always do after a mission. 'Yeah right!' I thought bitterly 'They leave me at the gates to crawl to the hospital, they would never help me to it, let alone carry me.'

I got into my fighting stance as my teammates groaned.

I would enjoy seeing their faces as I beat Naruto.

And I was going to beat Naruto no matter what!

Naruto charged at me before doing his Kage Bunshin No Jutsu. I dodged his attacks left and right before jumping off one of the Naruto's shoulders and aiming kunai at the mass of Narutos. I smirked as I heard a bunch of pops and a lot of smoke before landing on the edge of the smoke line. I was surprised when I got punched in the gut. I stumbled backwards and got back up quickly.

"You're good" I said quietly

"So are you dattebayo" Naruto said just as quietly.

"I won't hold back if you don't" I said slyly.

"Okay dattebayo" We smirked at each other as a Bunshin appeared out of the accumulated smoke and started doing random things to Naruto's outstretched hand. I watched in horror as a ball of chakra began to form.

"Netsui" I said under my breath.

"What?" Netsui replied right behind me

"What were the seals to one of the jutsus I learned yesterday?" I muttered as I jumped onto a tree branch

"You mean you didn't memorize them?"

"No" I muttered

"Fine here are the seals to Frozen Dragon" I listened and did the seals as quickly as possible and yelled as Naruto yelled 'Rasengan'

"Suiton: Touketsu Ryuu" I yelled as two frozen dragons burst from my outstretched hands and Naruto had to dodge before one crashed into him. I smirked and jumped on one of them and slid down, (as if on a skateboard or snowboard, depending on where you live) and flew off and did fast punches and kicks to said opponent. I jumped back though when I felt something odd going on with my opponent. When he lifted his head, his eyes were red and the lines on his face were more defined and looked like whiskers. "Netsui" I said softly and fear was evident in my voice "Help" I dodged an attack that he made with his chakra. 'He used his chakra to lash out at me! Oh I am in trouble'

"Time to use your Kekkei Genkai" Shinikaru said appearing behind me. "Cut your arm"

"WHAT?"

"Cut your arm Ame" Shinikaru said

"I am not going to cut my arm you freaking psycho!" I screamed as I turned to see the dead person I was talking to, completely forgetting my fight with Naruto and the on looking people as they started to look confused, I was talking, no screaming at NOTHING! Which was a bad idea as Naruto used my distraction against me as his chakra threw me against a tree.

"Cut your arm and allow your blood to flow onto us Ame" Netsui said.

"Not you too" I groaned

"Ame, it is necessary because you can see us, they cannot, your blood splashed upon us will allow them to see us too, so we can do damage to them"

"You could've told me that before" I said angrily to my brother as I turned around to see a regular looking, highly confused, Naruto. I took out two kunai and held one in each hand and cut my arm down it my wrists one arm at a time. I then turned around and smeared the blood on each of my dead stalkers.

"Happy?" I asked as I heard gasps from different people "At least I don't look like a lunatic now" I muttered. "Dead people, attack!" I said as I pointed at Naruto. Shinikaru decked me on the head

"Dead people? Is that how you treat your senseis?"

"Ow, Shinikaru, that hurt"

"Shut up weakling"

"Don't call her a weakling Shinikaru"

"Don't butt into this discussion Netsui"

"It looks a bit more like an argument to me Shinikaru"

"No one asked for your opinion Netsui"

The two lunged for the other's throats

I sighed as the argument between the two dead people continued. "Onii-san (older brother), ah forget it" I said defeated "Hey Naruto wanna buy me food?"

"Ramen!" He said before dragging me towards the village and totally ignoring my previous comment. My team stared wide-eyed at the fight of the dead people and my brother sighed before following me, the rest of team seven stered in shock with my team as the fight between Natsui and Shinikaru intensified

"What's ramen?" I said once the forest hid me away from the fight

"You don't know what ramen is? It is the best food in the world dattebayo!" I looked at him as if he were stupid "Hey Ame"

"What?"

"Is this like a date?" He asked. I paused before I replied. We were safely secluded in the forest

"Uh.. I don't think so.. Naruto"

"Okay dattebayo"

"So, who are they?" Naruto asked, jutting his thumb at the three visible dead people that were now following me again. Natsui and Shinikaru were bleeding and their hair mused and some chunks were missing on each of the two.

"My senseis, Shinikaru is the one scowling, Netsui is the one waving, and Kyou is the last one, he is my brother. They came here to help me use and control my Kekkei Genkai."

"What does your Kekkei Genkai do?"

"See dead people" I said casually, as if it were nothing.

"WHAT?"

".. Oh! And they stalk me too" I said just as casually, only this time slower as we continued to walk to the ramen shop.
