Hey guys! This is my SECOND story in the basis of at least 2 months.

This story is a Naru/Chao fanfiction.

Now I have to admit, if you have started reading my other story, you may notice a teeny weeny resemblance in this chapter.

Other than that, I hope you enjoy.

DISCLAIMER FOR WHOLE STORY!: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR NEGIMA!

…

It was the end of the annual Asian Martial Arts festival, where people from around Asia have battled it out to be named the Master Martial Artist.

Young Naruto Namikaze was here with his father, Minato Namikaze, a ninja of high quality and the victor of the tournament. Naruto was only 5, so he couldn't enter, and he wasn't too happy about it.

"So what if you're top fighter!" He exclaimed. "If I was allowed to compete, I would have whooped your ass!"

Minato smiled at his son's stubbornness. Then, he heard crying. He looked in the direction the crying was coming from, and saw a girl with black hair tied up into two buns curled up in an alleyway. She appeared to be crying.

He walked towards the girl.

"Hey Pops, don't ignore me!" Naruto yelled.

He saw his dad walking away.

"H-hey! Where're you goin'?"

Naruto looked past Minato and saw the girl as well. He ran right past his dad and was beside the girl in a second.

"Hey." He said softly.

The girl looked up slowly. You could tell she had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy.

"Don't cry! Girls shouldn't cry!"

The girl rubbed her eyes.

"What's your name?" Naruto asked kindly.

"Chao." The girl now known as Chao Stuttered.

"How old are you?"

"5."

"I'm 5 too! My name's Naruto Namikaze, and I'm the best fighter in the world!"

It was then Minato arrived at the scene.

"Excuse me."He said.

Chao looked at him.

"Did you say your name is Chao?"

"Yes."

"Ah, I see. Your Chinese aren't you?"

"H-how did you know that?"

"I knew someone who was Chinese once. Had a similar name to. Now, why are you crying?"

"I lost my carer, ne..."Chao told them sadly.

"No worries!" Naruto proclaimed. "I'll help you find her!"

"Y-you will!" Asked Chao, hope in her voice.

"Sure!"

Minato looked at his watch and started to panic.

"GAH! Naruto, will you be alright by yourself for a while? The awards ceremony is about to start!"

Yeah, I'll be fiiiine!" Naruto said.

"Good." Minato turned to Chao. "Now, listen carefully, O.K? Naruto will help you look for your guardian, alright?"

Chao nodded, looking a lot happier.

"Even better." He sped off."Bye bye, Naru-chan!"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT, OLD MAN!" Naruto shouted at his father's disappearing figure.

Chao giggled at Naruto's behaviour.

'We could turn out to be good friends.' She thought.

…

"Once again, thank you for finding Chao, Naruto-bozu." Chao's guardian said.

Naruto chuckled. "It was nothin'!"

"Thank you for the help Naruto-Kun, ne!"Chao said.

"I was glad to help!"

"Will I see you again?"

"Course you will! You can't get rid of me!"

Minato's voice sounded out. "Naruto, time to go!"

Chao smiled. "Well, bye."

"Yeah! See you when I see you Chao-chan!" Naruto ran off.

Chao blushed at the name. Her mom grinned.

"Chao-chan, eh? And what about the Naruto-kun?" She teased.

Chao blushed harder. "S-shut up!"

"Someone's got a crush!" She sang.

"SHUT UP!"

…

The doorbell rang at Naruto's house. He lived in Kyoto.

Minato opened it.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is! You've grown!" He mused. "Naruto! Someone's here to see you!"

Naruto sighed. He was 10 now.

"Tell them I'm not feeling that good!"

Then an anonymous voice rang out. A girl's voice.

"Well, that isn't the way you should treat your new neighbour, ne."

Naruto's eyes widened as he recognised the voice, and he was at the door in seconds.

"Chao-chan!" He shouted, surprised.

"Hiya, Naruto-kun!" Chao said, winking.

"How're you doing?"

"Great, we just moved next door. My guardian and her husband split up."

"Sorry to hear that."

"It's O.K! I didn't like the guy that much anyway."

"Oh..."

Then Chao smiled brightly. "So, wanna spar?"

"W-what!" Naruto was surprised by the sudden request.

"I've been practising my Martial Arts, ne. I hope you haven't been slacking off!"

"Course not! I've been training my ass off. I'm still the best ever!"

"Then let's go!"

"Bring it!"

They ran to the backyard, laughing.

Chao smiled inwardly. 'You haven't changed at all, Naruto-kun.'

…

Naruto was at his school. He remembered that Chao was meant to be joining today.

"Everyone, can I have your attention please?" Said the teacher, Iruka Umino.

No response.

Iruka sighed.

"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU MAGGOTS!"

...

"Thank you. We have a new student joining us today, please give them a warm welcome."

Iruka turned to the door.

"You may come in"

Everyone looked at the door, wondering who their new classmate would be. Except Naruto of course, he knew who it was.

The door opened, and Chao walked in. She stood by the desk.

"Hello. My name is Chao. I'm a transfer student from China, ne." She said, bowing.

"Wow! She's cute!" Said a boy in the class.

"That's enough, thank you." Iruka told the boy.

He looked at Chao. "My name is Iruka Umino. I will be your teacher for your time here. Now, we have 2 spare seats. One next to Kiba, and one next to Naruto. You can choose where you sit."

"O.K, thanks."

She made her way to the seat next to Naruto and sat down.

"Hiya Naru-chan!"

"Don't call me that Chao-chan."

…

It was lunch and Naruto was heading towards the table they usually sit at with his best friends, Shikamaru and Sasuke.

"So Naruto, how do you know the new girl?" Asked Sasuke.

"Hm? She lives next-door to me." Replied Naruto.

"How do you keep up with her?" Asked Shikamaru. " I mean, she seems so hyper."

"What, and I'm not?"

"Heh. Good point."

They got their food and sat down with their usual gang.

"Naruto, your here!" Said Sakura.

"How do you know the new girl?" Asked Ino.

Naruto sighed. "I'll tell you in a moment. I'm going to get a drink."

He got up and walked off.

As he was purchasing said item, he saw Chao walking around like a lost rabbit.

"Hey! Chao!"

Chao saw him.

"Naruto-kun! I've been looking for you, ne. I'm lost…"

"Follow me, you can sit with us. Have you got dinner?"

"Packed lunch."

Naruto led Chao to his table.

"Guys! Chao-chan's here!" He turned to Chao. "Sit next to me."

She did so.

"Naruto. Are you gonna introduce us?" Asked Sakura.

"Oh, yeah," he said, "Chao-chan, this is Sasuke Uchiha and Shikamaru Nara, my best friends."

"Hey."

"How are you?"

"This is Kiba Inuzuka, the only guy who can have a pet in school. Said pet would be his mutt, Akamaru."

"HE'S NOT A MUTT!"

"The pink haired girl is Sakura Haruno, The blonde is Ino Yamanaka, and the one with the buns is Tenten."

"We are so glad to have another girl here!" Stated Ino.

"There are too many boys!" Agreed Sakura.

Tenten saw Chao's lunch box, and the contents.

"Are those Pork buns?" She asked Chao.

"They sure are, ne!"

"Wow! I love Pork Buns!"

"Me too!"

Tenten hugged Chao from across the table.

"I can tell we're going to get along great!" She exclaimed.

"So where about are you from?" Sakura asked her.

Chao grinned. "You really want to know?"

The whole group leaned in expectantly, except for Naruto, who shook his head, knowing what was coming.

"You SURE you wanna know, ne?"

"Just tell us!" Yelled Ino.

"Ok…" Chao cleared her throat. "I am!.."

The group, bare Naruto, leaned in.

"…AN ALIEN FROM MARS!"

The expectant group collapsed in disbelief.

"What, ne!" Cried Chao. "It's tru- *SMACK* OW!"

"Will you give it up with the alien thing already…" Sighed Naruto. "It's not true…"

"Hmph…" Huffed Chao.

"HEY!" A girl's voice called out.

The group looked for the source of the voice. When they found it, the girls groaned.

"What do you want, Chieko?" Sakura asked tiredly.

Chieko had red hair and wore glasses. She was with 2 other girls.

"I want to know who this new girl is! Boys have been saying that she's hotter than me!"

Chao bit down on some pork bun, before looking at Chieko.

"Well, by the look of you, that's not very hard is it, ne?"

The girls in the group giggled, while the boys put hands over their mouths to stop themselves from laughing.

Chieko looked furious. "What did you say!"

"In simple terms, 'cause it seems that is what you are, you're ugly." Said Chao, with a mouthful of pork bun.

The group burst out laughing.

"Why you!" Chieko went to slap Chao, but Chao just stopped the hand with her index finger, while still eating.

Everyone except Naruto marvelled at this.

Chieko tried to hit Chao with her other hand.

This time Chao bent her arm that had blocked Chieko's other attack, blocking Chieko's strike with her elbow in the process.

Chieko growled. "You'd better watch your back. I'm not done."

"Eh?" Chao lazily. "When did you start, ne?"

The girls giggled at this, while the boys struggled to hold back their laughter.

Chieko grew red in the face, muttered something inconceivable, then walked off in a huff.

…

2 years later...

"So...this is goodbye."

"I guess so."

Naruto and Chao were both 12 and Chao was going to a boarding school outside of Kyoto, thanks to her guardian's fiancée, who she didn't like that much.

Naruto sighed. " It's just not fair sometimes, is it?"

The Chinese girl hugged her boyfriend. They had been dating since they were 11. She had told Naruto how she felt, and he returned the feelings.

"Don't worry. We'll see each other again. It's happened once, it can happen again, right? Besides, I can't get rid of you."

"You've got a point."

" Chao! It's time to go!" Called Chao's Guardian.

"'K, mom!" She looked at Naruto. "Naruto-kun."

She kissed him.

After a while, they broke the kiss.

"Goodbye, Naruto-kun."

"Goodbye Chao-chan."

They both smiled sadly and Chao walked to the car and got in.

As the car began to move, Naruto headed for his house, but then, Chao's voice rang out.

"BYE BYE, NARU-CHAN!"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT DAMMIT!"

…

'I can't wait...

**FLASHBACK**

"Naruto you've got mail!" Minato shouted.

"Let's have a look." Said Naruto.

Naruto was fourteen now and he had grown into a jounin level ninja.

"So, what does it say?" Asked Minato.

"It's from the headmaster. A friend of his needs me to help a new teacher who is starting at a school called Mahora Academy."

"Hm? Isn't that the school Chao went to?"

Naruto's eyes widened.

"I'm going!"

**FLASHBACK END**

'...after 2 years, I'm gonna see her again.' Naruto thought as he took the train to Mahora Academy.
