Brave it Out

Summary: The boy was so much like her as a child that it scared Naruto. He was ignored, bullied and no one helped him, they just watched or laughed. She would try to find a way to go home later, because now, she had a Dame to help.

I don't own KHR and Naruto, Amano Akira and Masashi Kishimoto does. If I did, Tsuna would never like Kyoko, she is just a waist of space along Haru. And Itachi would be alive along others characters.

This is my first story. So please, be patient with me.

"The pain of being alone is not an easy one to bear...Why is it that I can understand your pain?"

- Uzumaki Naruto

Naruto

At just thirteen, Naruto had already come to understand that strange and dangerous things just had the tendency to happen in her life. So when she wake up in alley after her confrontation with Sasuke in the Valley of the End, she just blinked eyes and cursed as she decided that she wasn't in Konoha anymore. Not even close.

Taking a breath, Naruto could just think of one thing, or rather person, that she could blame for her situation.

Sasuke.

It was all his fault. If the bastard hadn't decided to betray everyone. If he hadn't decided to betray her, the one who should be his sister and best friend, nothing of it would have happened.

Of course, if she hadn't been stubborn and promised to Sakura that she would get him back, she wouldn't have been hurt - almost killed - and maybe, Naruto would be now eaten ranmen at the Ichiraku.

But it was still Sasuke fault.

"I need a plan..." She blinked her eyes not believing what she just said. "I think this whole death experience killed some of my brain cells... And who need a plan?" Naruto grinned, placing her hands together in front of her body. "I have something better! Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"

When six clones surrounded her, Naruto nodded to herself and started to give them her orders. Clone 1, 2 and 3, Henged as Ayame-nee and Ero-sennin and Shizu-nee, would look for the next library and read as much books about this place as they could. Clone 4 and 5, Henged as Haku in his girly kimono and Konohamaru, would pick pocket and if necessary, change the Henge in case someone saw or noted what happened. Last, Clone 6, Henged as Tsunade-baachan, would steal some clothes for her, following the same plan of escape as 4 and 5.

To not die of boredom, Naruto decided to try and talk to the fox. If someone knew where she was, it was him. The problem was that after twenty or more so tentative, she gave up because there was some type of barrier was blocking her way to her subconscious, not much different of when Orochimaru placed that seal on her. This time whoever, she could feel the Kyuubi, but couldn't contact him.

"What I do no -" Naruto gasped as a set of memories came to her. "T-This is not good."

By the information Clone 1 sent to her, she was really far from Konoha. Hell, Konoha didn't even exist in the world map. Nor did Iwa, Kiri or any other village and country she knew.

"I'm in another dimension... Did I insult Kami? Does he hate me?"

Naruto sighed, trying to calm herself as she got the memories of Clone 2 and 3. Clone 2 focused in the laws of this world and everything it could find about Namimori, the city she was right now. And if she understand right, no one would let a girl like her live alone. So if she found a place to stay, Naruto would have to find a way to place a genjutsu in the house so no one would bother her. Maybe there was a jutsu like this in one of the scrolls she had stolen from Tsunade-baachan's library before the retrieval mission.

The memories of Clone 3, weren't much different. But she focused on books the daily day of the population of this world and danmit! This place is literally made of civilians. Shinobis were a joke, and chakra didn't exist here!

"Is official. Kami hate me... Kami or all the others deities in this world."

"Boss!" Naruto smiled as the last three clones landed in front of her with Clone 6 holding some sort of backpack. "Mission Accomplish!"

"Good... You can dispel now..." The three nodded and disappeared. The memories she received next was all about what they have done, well... Not all of them.

In her way to the shopping district, Clone 6 stopped in a park where a group of children was bulling a small boy. He looked like a bunny with his feminine face and fluffy brown hair, even his scream was rather cute. But what really made the clone stop was their taunts and name calling.

Dame Tsuna, was what they called him.

As she started to put on her new clothes, and ignoring her completely healed wounds (something that couldn't be possible by how serious they had been, even with the fox help), Naruto decided to find the boy. Is not like she knew how to go home.

And... The boy was so much like her as child that it scared Naruto. He was ignored, bullied and no one helped him, they just watched or laughed.

She would try to find a way to go home later, because now, she had a Dame to help.

Tsuna

Tsuna knew that he wasn't going to have much success in his life in the future, if there was any chance of him even getting some success at all. He was no-good after all and everyone at school did everything they could so he would understand that.

Honestly, he stopped trying to make them stop after the teachers started to follow the students' example and ignore him or just make fun of him. And for some motive, Tsuna knew that the only reason he was so bad at school was because no one made the right incentive for him to study, even his mother did try, and understand what the teachers wanted from him. Or the motive that he was so clumsy and weak was because after years being bullied, without anyone to help, he just gave up and decided to let them do what they wanted. In the end, this and more ended making him what he was today.

Walking at the deserted part of his way home, Tsuna sighed as he hugged his bag close, trying to make this type thoughts go away.

If he didn't know better, Tsuna would say that everyone in the town knew him and his status as Dame. His mother though he was a Dame sometimes too, even if she made an effort to think that he would change. Now, his father he was another story.

"Does he even know something about me? When was the last time he visited?"

"Do you always talk to yourself or today is just a special day?"

Screaming 'HIIEEE', he tripped on his own feet and closed his eyes, waiting for his collision with the ground... But to his surprise, someone grabbed his shoulder and made him stay still. Tsuna blinked at it, when he noted that someone had really helped him and turned around slowly, almost afraid of who was behind him.

Staring at him with pure amusement in her bright blue eyes, was a girl with blonde hair, tanned skin and whisker scars on her cheeks giving her a exotic look. She was wearing a opened dark orange jacket to reveal her black tube top and bare midriff, black cargo pants and boots. She too had some type of orange handkerchief around her forehead with two pins on it (one red that made him think a whirlpool and the same she had in the shoulders of her jacket, he noted, and the other was of some type of leaf, or so Tsuna though).

"W-What do you want?"

She raised an eyebrow.

"I was thinking of killing you" She said like it was the most normal thing in the world. "and end your miserable life." Tsuna steppedback andno, he didn't scream like agirl. Even that by the smirk in her face, she though he did.

"But I think I will just be your best friend dattebayo."

Ignoring his expression of pure disbelief, she placed her hands behind her head and smiled at him while closing her eyes. Tsuna couldn't help, but to compare her to a fox because of her expression and the scars that looked more like whiskers.

"W-What?"

But just she waved to him still grinning like a fox and walked away. And much like how she appeared from nowhere, she disappeared from his view without him noting.

Tsuna stayed where he was, his mind in a turmoil as he tried to understand what was happening but for some motive, he was happy. Because even if he refused it, a part of him instead that the girl was speaking the true. And he decided that he wanted to believed that part of him. That part that he had learned to ignore since he was a child.

"I-I think I made a friend."

It was more like a blonde haired girl decided that he was her best friend. But it didn't really mattered to him.

Yes... He was happy and maybe... Not everyone though he was a Dame after all.
