Chii: Okay, here is the first chapter
Chii: Once Ryoko, now Chii!! Okay, here is the first chapter of my first Naruto story. The idea for it was kinda similar to Hana-Kimi and Ouran High School Host Club. But, I just had to get this out of my mind before I combusted. And, I am aware there are many of these, but, I couldn't help but join the rave.
Title: High School Cross-Dresser
Description: Kuroume, Tomoko is not your average High Schooler. For, 'he' is actually a 'she'! She is the newest student at Konoha Academy. A student who is a girl disguised as a boy for personal reasons. Dealing with every day High Schooler stuff might seem easy. But, not when you are sharing a dorm with all boys, having to change with the boys for PE, and more, all the while trying to protect your true identity from others. NarutoxOC
Chapter 1: Konoha Academy's new Student
"Okay, Kuroume-kun, please, wait here. When I introduce you, you can walk in," said my homeroom teacher, Iruka-sensei.
"Hai," I nodded, speaking in a low tone.
Iruka-sensei gave me a warm smile and slid open the door to his classroom. He walked in, leaving the door open for my entrance.
"Ohayo, class!" he said
(Japanese lesson: Ohayo- Good Morning)
I motioned my head to the side to glance inside his class, seeing only a few students as they stood up from their desks.
"Ohayo Gozaimasu, Iruka-sensei!" they greeted back, taking their seats.
(Japanese lesson: Ohayo Gozaimasu- Good Morning More Politely)
"Before I start taking roll, I would like to introduce a new student," Iruka-sensei started.
"Really?" interrupted a girly voice.
Holding on tightly with both hands on my school bag I listened to the conversation more closely.
"Oh, I hope it's a girl," I heard a screechy voice. "But, she has to be cute."
"No," said the first voice. "Kami-sama, Naruto is 'cute girls' all you think about? The new student's gonna be a boy."
(Japanese lesson: Kami-sama- God)
"Why, Sakura-chan?" argued back the other, whom was Naruto. "There're already enough boys! Is Sasuke not enough anymore?"
"Baka Naruto, shut up!" growled the girl, named Sakura.
"Alright, that's enough out of both of you," Iruka-sensei said, finally breaking up the argument. "Back to our new student. He comes all the way up north from Tokyo. Please, welcome Kuroume Tomoko-kun."
"He" I thought, disgustedly, only to get interrupted in my train of thought.
I walked through the doorway and stood in front of the class, standing next to Iruka-sensei.
I bowed. "Ohayo and arigato gozaimasu for having me. I'm Kuroume Tomoko."
(Japanese lesson: Arigato Gozaimasu- Thank you very much. Japanese have their surname last name said first, then given name first name)
Just as I stood up straight, someone raised their hand.
"Um…yes," I replied, not expecting anyone to ask questions.
"Isn't 'Tomoko' a girl's name?" asked a student with messy brown hair and red triangles on his face.
"Uh…well, I am not so sure," I answered, playing dumb.
I was aware that my name was feminine, but, I did not want others to find out I was actually a girl and not a boy.
"Alright," Iruka-sensei said, placing his hand on my shoulder. "Everyone can ask Kuroume-kun questions during their free time. As for you…" he looked at me. "Your desk is behind Ino-chan's."
I looked at the class to see which one was Ino. A girl with blond hair, tied back, second to last desk next to the window, raised her hand.
I walked over to the desk and sat down. I placed my school bag on the hook of the desk.
(Japanese lesson: Japanese students stay in their classrooms. Teachers do the roaming around. Like in elementary school, their supplies are in their desks. On the side is a hook where you can hang your school bag.)
I looked at the people around me. In front was Ino, to my corner right, was a girl with pink hair, and to my right a blond-haired guy.
"Hey…" whispered the blondy, getting my attention.
I looked in his direction to acknowledge him. "Hmm…?"
"Hi!" he smiled.
I blinked a few times. "Uh…hi."
"My name's Uzumaki Naruto," he said.
"He's the one wanting a 'cute girl'. Well, he got a girl, but I wouldn't exactly say I'm cute…" I thought.
"N-nice to meet you," I replied.
"So, Tomoko-kun, are you living in Konoha, or are you staying as a boarded student?" he asked.
(Chii: I'll make Konoha a made up city in Japan. And, boarded means staying in the dorms of the school.)
"I'm a boarded student," I said.
"That's cool!" he flashed another smile. "Yeah, so do I. Actually, I am supposed to get a new roommate. Maybe that's you."
I smiled, feeling my cheeks get a bit warm. "Maybe…"
"Tomoko-kun," I heard my name called.
I looked in front to see Ino turned around, along with the pink-haired girl.
"Hi, I'm Yamanaka Ino," the blond-haired girl introduced herself.
"And, I'm Haruno Sakura," said the one to my corner.
"Oh, the one wanting another boy. Will she be surprised," I thought.
"You know, you're actually pretty cute," Sakura said. "Not compared to Sasuke-kun, though. You top second if I say so."
Now my cheeks really went red, acting like I actually took that as a compliment. "Uh…you really think so?"
"Mmhmm," she nodded.
"Yeah, but you seem a bit on the feminine side," Ino commented. "Are you gay?"
"Wait! What?!" I shouted a bit, causing the class to look my way, while ferociously blushing.
At the thought of being called 'gay' freaked me out. I guess you could say I am a tad on the homophobic side.
(Chii: Nothing against homosexuals. I kinda just added this for kicks.)
"Kuroume-kun is there something wrong?" asked Iruka-sensei.
"Uh, no, gomen nasai!" I said, standing up, and then bowing.
"Okay," he said, rolling his eyes.
I sat back and sighed. I glared at Ino, saying lowly, "What would make you say that?"
"Well, I guess you could say…woman's intuition," she said.
"Well, it's wrong. I am straight as straight can be," I said, turning away from her.
(Chii: 'Straight as straight can be' is a joke between me and my friend.)
"Ino-pig," I heard Sakura say. "That was just rude. You don't just be so blunt to someone new."
"Cut it forehead girl," Ino glared at her. "I was just saying."
"Give up, Sakura-chan," whispered Naruto. "She gets that from Sai."
(Chii: Sai's bluntness to point out things.)
"Yeah," she giggled.
Just as the conversation ended, the bell rang.
"Have a good rest of the day, class. I'll see you all later today," Iruka-sensei said, leaving the classroom.
(Japanese lesson: The students go back to their homeroom one last time at the end of the day to start cleaning up the classroom and school)
"Great, English is next…" Naruto sighed. "…I hate this subject."
Chii: Okay, this is where I leave you off!! Hope you enjoyed it. Look forward to the next chapter later!!
Tomoko: Yeah, this is only the beginning. The action has barely even started. So, keep reading if you want to get deeper into my past and why I am dressed as a boy!!
