I don't really have an appetite nowadays... weird... You continued in your ramblings, your blue orbs soon caught onto a leaf, gently falling onto the grass ,"Huh?" You mumbled, looking up at the tree, noticing a pair of pure black orbs staring back down at you. Your right eye twitched as the person just gave a small 'hn' and turned away. You did the same, staring at the groups of students sitting around eating together, unlike you and Sasuke who were distant from the others. Your eyes locked onto the blonde boy, the one called 'Naruto' who was trying to get Sakura's attention as always. You just gave a small chuckle, gazing back at the vast sky ,"Hey... you hungry? You can eat my lunch if you'd like, y' know..." You explained, your blue orbs looking up at the shadowed figure who just ignored you. There was a sudden long silance, interrupted by the growl of both you and Sasuke's stomache. You laughed nervously, patting your stomache ,"... W-Weird, I don't feel like eating..." You excused yourself, you cocked a brow, seeing a beat red faced Sasuke, who seemed particularly embarrassed from his stomache growl, you just gave a shrug ,"... You sure you aren't hungry?" The silent boy just gave another 'hn'. "... Guess that's a 'no'..." You muttered out quietly to yourself. My first lunch with Sasuke... and we aren't getting along... You stood up silently, bending down to grab your lunch as you began to walk away from Sasuke who just laid on the tree branch unmoving as Iruka called out to the academy students. You smirked to yourself, taking a swing around Naruto's neck ,"You think your gunna pass the exam? Hope you've been practicing!" You self-confidently noted down, seeing Naruto's grumpy expression at the word 'exam'. He just gave a cheerful nod ,"... Of course! I'll become Hokage! Believe it!" He exclaimed, jumping up and down as he began to run into the academy.
... Sakura, Ino, and those other girls keep giving me these scary faces... You sighed in a monotone thought. You stared at the fluffy clouds that floated away while you sat on the grassy, green grass under a the shade from the tree. You crossed your legs, your hand behind your head, taking a glance at your uneaten lunch beside you.
"For your final exam you must each generate a doppelganger." Iruka-sensei informed, his hands behind his back as he said so, walking back and forth ,"... wait here until your names is called, and then come next door."
You looked over at the sweating Naruto in the corner of your eyes, he seemed nervous. You just gave a quiet chuckle, standing up after hearing your name being called through the open door, you soon walked out and to the room across the room full of students. You opened the door, seeing the many forehead protector on the desk, with Iruka and Mizuki sitting before it.
You took a deep breathe, forming the technique as a large smoke clouded the air, your turned your head to the left and then towards the right, revealing one doppelganger to the left, and the other on the right, and another behind you, and one infront of you. That was four... you snapped your fingers, smirking. Finally I got that right! They look... like me!
Iruka just clapped ,"You pass." He simply replied, gently grabbing a forehead protector, leaving it out for you to grab, which you did.
You gave a small bow, heading out of the room, noticing Naruto walking pass you and into the room you were previously doing the technique. You gave a thumbs up as he returned the gesture, by the time you knew it, you heard a loud, booming voice echoing down the hallways.
"YOU FAIL!"
You cringed, staring agape at the narrowly opened door as you heard Mizuki trying to defend Naruto, with Iruka shaking his head in a 'No'. You slowly made your way towards the other room as class was being dismissed. You soon jogged out of the academy, staring at the head protector clutched in your palms ,"... Yeah..."
"Hey, isn't he the kid who...?"
"Yeah, that's him. The only one who failed!" A student cutted the other student off. They were both girls...
"Serves him right."
"Can you imagine if they let someone like that become a shinobi...? I mean, think about what he is."
"Don't even go there." You hissed, grabbing the girl by her collar, your calm, blue right orb soon fading into the color of orange and then to red.
The girl's eyes widened as her friend soon began to call out to the teacher ,"W-What are you?! Y-You monster!"
You let go of the girl's collar, letting her fall roughly onto the ground ,"... Call me that, chicken wuss, and I'll slit your throat." You threatened, your right red orb turning back into it's normal color. You smiled innocently, giving a wave as you turned your head to the swing set ,"Hey! Narut- he was just here..." You whispered, seeing the swing empty ,"... a minute ago..."
You shrugged, turning your head back to the students with wide-eyes ,"Pretend you didn't see anything." You smoothly replied, turning your back hastily. Naruto.... "Hey, girlies! You know where that Naruto kid went?" You asked more in a demand, you looked over your shoulders, seeing only silence, they were...
...gone....
You shook your head ,".... Can't believe cowards, like them, guys graduated..." You murmured in a whisper, pushing your bangs back. I know I can't find him like this.... You shook your head in a half-hearted sigh as you began to walk the path of your house, unaware that.... someone was actually watching... you...
You continued walking, noticing the complete silence that was ruined by the sudden swish of the trees.
Someone was there...
"Gotcha!" You suddenly implied, throwing three kunai's out of nowhere inbetween your fingers, you aimed at the tree, but missed that stalker who followed you ,"Darnit." You snapped your fingers, pouting as you stopped walking ,"Show yourself!" You demanded, you felt stupid, it felt as if you were talking to the air, at the same time, your felt some pairs of eyes from all angles staring at you weirdly.
You looked over your shoulders, seeing a passing couple whispering things to eachother about you.
You twitched ,"H-HEY! S-Someone was there! I swear!" You explained hesitantly, just causing more chaos as more people just started to stare, you slapped yourself on the forehead ,"... Nevermind..." You sighed, continuing your walk, still, someone was following you.
It started to get late...
... it still felt as if you were being stalked...
... by someone...
.. or something...
You felt a soft 'thump' on the ground, hearing some footsteps growing closer, you completely stopped, frozen stiff.
"What was that?" The stalker asked, his voice was smooth, cold, yet mysterious.
One word:
Sasuke.
"You know... girl's are gunna get the wrong idea of you and me, and.. I don't want that to happen, y'know. It can also ruin your reputation of being a macho man, or something." You explained smartly, smirking.
"I don't care. Answer my question. What are you?" He continued.
You turned around, it was dark, no doubt about that. All you could see was some white shorts ,"What do you mean by what? Don't you mean... who are you?" You smoothly asked, your blue orbs staring straight at Sasuke who still kept that same composure.
"........" That was all he gave you...
"I'm sorry. I am me, and only me. I am a ninja, like all of you. We are all flesh and blood, and I am the same." You slyly proclaimed, crossing your arms in an expressionless manner. Oh, he's good... "If it is... a fight you want, then... that's another thing. Oh, yeah! Sleep early! It's are first day that we are gunna be assigned to your teammates! G' bye!" You waved cheerfully, doing some hand movements as you soon disappeared into who knows where, leaving Sasuke astonished.
"Perfect!" You announced, looking at your room view mirror, adjusting your forehead protector on your head, replacing your red ribbon that was alreayd thrown in the trashbin, you smiled, but it soon faded ,"I don't look good in blue..." You murmured, referring to the band that held the protector, you shook your head, beginning to walk out of your room and out of your house.
.... Huh...? You turned your head to the side, noticing a pink-haired girl walking down the street, you looked far ahead, noticing a blonde girl.
Sakura and Ino...
You gasped in horror. Of all mornings, WHY did I have to LOOK at them! THEY'LL PROBABLY DRAG ME INTO A CONVERSATION ABOUT SASUKE!!!!!!! You began to run down the path to the wherever you were going. You turned your head towards the two who began to walk with eachother ,"Here comes... the torture...!"
1...
2...
3...
"I can't believe you graduated..." Ino remarked, smirking at her rival.
"The past doesn't matter anymore. Starting togay, we are both ninjas." Sakura smartly answered back, her eyes closed. she re-opened them, sending a deadly glare at Ino ,"I'm not going to lose to you anymore, Ino. Or that stupid _____!" She hissed, sending a glare over towards you.
She caught me! You twitched ,"Darnit... why does this path have to be so narrow..." You mumbled, you were pulled by Ino, so you wouldn't run away.
For a moment, they gave grunts to eachother, and soon, they began to race eachother, making you tag along with them.
"Ugh... I had the most horrible morning ever... Luckily, I got a away from those two craz-" You groaned, trailing off, weakly slipping into the room of the academy. You blinked, noticing a certain blonde boy you knew. You gave a cheesy grin ,"Naruto-kun!" You hollored out, giving a gigantic wave to him ,"Why are you here? How'd you graduate?" You bombarded Naruto with questions once you were beside him.
Naruto just gave a smirk ,"Hey, can you not see this forehead protector? Starting today, I am also a ninja!" He exclaimed, you twitched as he began to show off his protector ,"How should I say this... this looks really good on me, eh?" He loudly boasted.
You laughed ,"Hehehehe... Yep! Whatever you say!" You replied, scooting into the seat next to Naruto, that was next to Sasuke as well. Your ears perked, you immediately closed your ears with your hand.
"What's the matter?" Naruto asked curiously.
"T-There coming..."
"Whose comi-"
"I win again!" Ino panted as she squeezed through the door with Sakura jammed in there as well.
"What are you talking about? My toe entered the class before yours by a centimeter." Remarked Sakura snobbily.
"Are you blind?" Ino answered back, growling.
You turned your head towards Naruto, twitching as your hands fell beside your waist ,"... Naruto-kun...? You... okay?" You wondered, your hands waving infront of Naruto's blue eyes. You stared at Sakura who blinked and stared back ,"Crap... she's lookin' this way now."
Naruto just gasped in surprise.
She's not lookin' at you Naruto-kun.... You gave a nervous smile as she began to run over towards the two of you.
"Good morning, Sakura-chan!" Naruto greeted, getting up from his seat as he waved.
"Get out of my way!" Sakura growled, throwing Naruto out of his seat, and pushing you out of the way as well ,"G-Good morning, Sasuke-kun." She greeted shyly, blushing at the unmoving Sasuke who seemed to be in thought ,"Can I sit next to you?"
"Hey! I'm going to sit next to him!" Ino roughly hissed, pushing Sakura out of the way.
"First come first serve." Sakura informed.
"I came into the classroom before you!" Ino proclaimed, yanking Sakura's arm.
Soon, some other girl's joined in... Scratch that... The ALL of the girl's joined in, except you.
"I did!"
"If that's the case, I did."
"I was first."
"I'm going to sit next to Sasuke-kun." A girl announced.
You groggily got up from the floor, you quickly climbed onto the table infront of Sasuke, staring at him right in the eye, but was gently pushed away by Naruto, who took your place.
Though, Sasuke returned the glare.
"Naruto! Stop staring at Sasuke-kun!" Sakura commanded, followed by the girls.
Everyone is so obsessed with Sasuke... You thought, staring at the two. What's so good about him anyway? All I know is that he is a snobby, heartless guy... "Hey, Naruto, would you quit that?" You asked, gently poking him on the back, you twitched, staring at your index finger at what had it done, you then looked back at Naruto who was...
KISSING SASUKE!!!!!!!
"What have I done...?" You stuttered as the two began to cough, trying to vomit if they can.
"Naruto, I'm going to kill you." Sasuke threatened, coughing as his hands were around his neck.
"Is it my fault?" Naruto remarked, his tongue sticking out.
"Somehow...." You trailed off, piping inbetween the two ,".. I sense danger..." You mumbled, pointing at the pack of fangirls.
"Naruto... you..." Sakura growled, staring at disgust at them, along with other girls.
"It was an accident!" Naruto exclaimed, his hands in the air.
"You're annoying." Sakura proclaimed, beginning to crack her knuckles, with Naruto staring in horror..
Soon, the class started, with Naruto badly bruised and beaten up, while you just leaned against the wall in the back of the class.
"Staring today, you are all official ninjas, but... you all are still new Genins." Iruka informed, his hands in his back with some papers ,"It's going to get harder from here. You all will be in a group of three, where you will accomplish missions under a Jounin teacher, except for one team, who will have a group of four, because there is... an uneven number of students in this class."
Almost ten minutes past in a flash ,"Next, Team number 'seven': Haruno, Sakura... Uzumaki, Naruto..." Naruto rose his hands in victory ,"... Uchiha, Sasuke..." Naruto slumped while Sakura did the same gesture Naruto just did ,"... and... well, looks like this team will have a team of four, your last member would be Hikaru, _____."
"Master Iruka! What were you thinking of addling a most excellent shinobi like myself... with that LOSER?!!!" Naruto growled loudly, standing up from his chair while pointing towards the silent Sasuke.
Great... I'm with Sakura... You thought, twitching, staring at the three in the same row.
Iruka just stared ,"Of the twenty-eight of you, Sasuke has the best grades, Naruto. You would be the bottom of the class. The idea is to balance your different strengths... That's why you ended up together."
"Hmm... just don't drag me down." Sasuke cooly remarked ,".. dunce!".
"So, then, why does _____ have to be in this team?! Can't she be on another? I mean, we have Sasuke, the top one of the class, and I am the smartest! And Naruto is already a let-down!" Sakura mocked stubbornly, standing from her seat in demand. _____ will just get in the way of my love for Sasuke-kun!
I am the one who should be complaining... You expressionlessly thought, staring at the pink-haired fangirl.
"Well, gee...." Iruka began, scratching his head as he held up his list ,".. y' see... _____, well, what can I say.... She also has one of the best grades aside from Sasuke. If I judged between you and ____, I'd say you are like Naruto, and ____ is Sasuke."
Sakura's mouth was wide open at that speech ,"Me? Like Naruto? Don't compare me to that sick freak!"
You shook your head ,"Yeah... so, when are we meeting our Jounin teacher?"
"Oh, that's right. I'll be introducing your senior ninjutsu instructors this afternoon." Iruka announced to the class ,"Until then, you are dismissed."
After that, you were the first one to be dismissed since you were so close to the door. I hope you enjoyed it! Buh-bye! If you have any questions about the series, feel free to ask or contact me! I won't bite at all!
