Chapter one
"Ino...Ino...INO!" whoa, head connected with floor, "I'm up!" i stared up at my brother Toggi from
where i had landed, "now you have about 5 seconds to get out of my room before i decide your fate,
you little wart"
New day, new town, new high school, same Ino Yamanaka. Getting on my school uniform i tied my
hair back, "Kon'nichiwa anata ni aete ureshii" i repeated to my reflection, moving to Japan was my
dad's brilliant idea, he gets a new job position and our family gets uprooted, i sighed and grabbed
my sketch book, if there was one thing i was good at that was sketching and school, every other
part of life i fail in, i have never been the prettiest girl, nor popular, i wear reading glasses that could
stop trafic and my hair although it was straight, was long and half the time i didnt know what to do
about it, and if that were not bad enough i am pale with frekles on the bridge of my nose and big
blue eyes that look like they belong on someone with a bigger face, over all im your akward 16 yr
old. Comming down the hall my mother sat humming in the kitchen, "Ino, walk Toggi to school for
me" i sighed, "come on wart" he stuck his tounge out at me, for a ten year old he was acting five,
outside the weather ressembled october,leaves crunched under our feet, i walked him to the
gate, "schools out at 2:45, you can go now" i am not his servent, "okay, classes for me end at three,
make sure you tell mom that"
"Ya ya ya...Ino go to school, the Tog master has work to do" he said refering to a couple of
japanese girls giggling. I rolled my eyes and walked down the street to leaf high.
The school is enormous i have trouble getting to the guidence office, "hello, im here for my schedual,
they said i could pick it up here?" she nodded shifting her gum to the other side of her mouth, "Ino?"
I nodded, "here" she thrust the schedual at me, "welcome to leaf high" walking amoug the crowd of
people i heard the bell rang, oh great, with no clue where to go i ran in a random direction, halfway
down the hall i ran into someone though, oynx eyes stared up at me, "Anta ga Anna o Hyatt IRU,
anata wa disabuses ka?"
"I'm sorry i dont speak japanese" i was trying to grab my books, my braid fell over my
shoulder, "Then we'll have to work on that wont we?" he said in perfect english, "yes..." he was
bending over picking up his books, "could you help me?"
"Depends with what" i handed him my schedual, "i should say you are...your headed in the
complete wrong direction, in fact i am going to Kakashi's myself, I'll walk you there"
"Your new" the way he put it didnt sound like he was asking, "Yeah, i moved here recently" he
looked interested "from?"
"U.S. its a long way away from here" i remembered home, the house my friends, the almost first kiss,
yeah memories I'll savor forever, "well welcome to Japan, I'm Sasuke Uchiha"
"Ino Yamanaka" he seemed surprised, "your japanese"
"My mom is" he nodded."Well here we are" Sasuke and i had made it before the tardy bell
sounded, "stand here" A man with Grey hair told me, "Alright class settle down" there was a hush
over the class, "This is Ino Yamanaka, she is new. Ino go sit next to Ten-Ten he pointed to a girl with
brown hair in two buns on each side of her head. I sat, looking past her i saw sasuke i smiled a little,
Ten- Ten let out an airy laugh. As the bell rang, she turned to me, "you have a crush on Sasuke dont
you?" i felt my cheeks warm as i shook my head, "i wont tell him, but you should watch out for
Sakura" she swung her bag over her shoulder, "by the way i'm Ten-Ten" she gave a smile and left
me standing behind my desk, "Wait whose Sakura?" she was out of ear shot, little did i know i was
about to find out just who Sakura was.
