Author's notes:

First thing! I do not in any way, shape, form or fashion own Sasuke or Iruka! I do own Kasumi though! :)

Second thing! 'Bold in one quotation mark are used when the person is quoting another person or persons aloud.'

'Bold in italics and one quotation mark is when they're yelling in their thoughts.'

"Bold in two quotation marks is when they're yelling."

Bold alone is Author's notes!

'Italics in one quotation mark is when they're thinking.'

"Italics in two quotation marks is when they add extra emphasis."

And a bunch of these: ~ Are used when the scene changes, the story ends, and the story begins.

Now on to the story!

Sasuke is sitting silently, like usual.

Iruka walks in and says," Class, we have a new student."

As Iruka begins writing a name on the board Sasuke thinks,' A new student... I hope it's not another annoying girl...'

To Sasuke's dismay it was in fact a girl. Iruka finished writing the name on the board, but only a given name, Kasumi, meaning water. The girl walks in, she has light purple hair and deep blue eyes. The girl called Kasumi looks at everyone and smiles, her gaze lingering on Sasuke, but she doesn't say anything directly to him.

She looks over the class and says," Nice to meet all of you, please take care of me."

She then bows and shows a sparkling smile. All the while the class was murmuring. Sasuke is not even listening to anything. He then looks at the new kid realizing she is done with her introduction. His eyes widen at the sight of who the new student is. He then gets up and slams his hands on the desk, forgetting he was in a class full of people. The class is startled and a few jump.

Sasuke yells," Kasu?!"

Kasumi smiles and says," Hello, Sasu-chan."

Sasuke then realizes he just shouted and probably ruined his reputation. He then hurriedly sits down and shuts up. Kasumi still smirking, sits closest to the front. Sasuke can't get what just happened out of his head throughout day.

He thinks,' Why is she here? How is she here? She is supposed to be dead!'

Kasumi easily gained all the teachers' affections and she went through the day without a problem. Sasuke caught up with Kasumi and grabbed her arm.

Sasuke says," Kasu...mi."

Kasumi stops walking and looks at him," Yes, Sasu-chan?"

Sasuke says," One, don't call me that anymore. Two, how did you get here? I thought you were dead."

Kasumi thinks for a moment and says," Okay, I'll call you Sasuke-kun like everyone else when we're in public, but when it's just us I'll address you however I want." She pulls him into an alley.

"Brat, I was brought here by Itachi-sama, he left me alive that day, but didn't tell you. I've worked under him all this time, he wants me to test you, which I'll gladly do, you tick me off."

Sasuke shudders at the memory of the day his clan was murdered by his brother," Why did you follow him when he killed the entire clan?!"

Kasumi glares at him and says," I had always trained the hardest, but in the end came out with no power. Even though you were in the shadow of your brother my parents noticed you. They praised you, loved you more than their own daughter that tried her hardest, but couldn't compare to you! They always said,' Why can't you be more like Sasuke, well-mannered, quiet, and strong?' I liked you then, because I was naïve and thought they would praise me. No, they didn't instead it worsened. So, when Itachi-sama killed them and was going to kill me I smiled and thanked him, I hated my parents, they loved their precious Sasuke! Itachi-sama then pitied me or something and asked if I'd like to come with him. I said yes to that, so that's how this happened."

Sasuke looks at Kasumi with wide eyes," Okay, another question. Why did he send you instead of coming himself?"

Kasumi laughs at this question.

Sasuke looks at her, confused," What's funny?"

Kasumi looks at him after her laughter," Brat, you think you're strong enough to defeat Itachi-sama?! Wow! You sure are an idiot! Itachi-sama is in a whole different league than you! He's trained me, I'm planning on teaching you for a few years, orders from Itachi-sama. He told me to train you and battle you on the last day of every year. He wants a suitable opponent."

Sasuke glares at her and says," Why should you train me?"

Kasumi smirks and says," You'll find me a challenge."

Sasuke also smirks and says," We'll see about that." He takes her hand and literally drags her to a field. He let's go of her hand and immediately disappears. Kasumi smirks and puts on a blindfold, not afraid in the slightest.

Sasuke throws various kunai and shuriken towards her. Kasumi, still with the smirk that seems to be permanently pasted to her face, is in a zombie-like state, gets hit by the weapons.

Sasuke blinks a few times,' She doesn't seem to be in any kind of pain.'

Kasumi disappears and reappears behind Sasuke and whispers," I can hear excellently with my blindfold on."

Sasuke jumps slightly when Kasumi has a kunai on his throat.

Kasumi says," You wanna give up?"

Sasuke reluctantly nods.

Kasumi sighs, pulls off her blindfold, takes the kunai off Sasuke's neck, leans back against the tree, and says," Wow, that was way too disappointing. You suck. Relax, sit down and talk. Oh, by the way call me Kasumi-sensei when I'm training you."

Sasuke sighed and sits down," How were you not in any pain when I hit you with my kunai and shuriken?"

Kasumi says," You hit me?", she looks at her sides and sees that he hit her left side,"Oh. When I battle I don't feel anything, I kinda go numb."

She starts pulling out the various weapons in her side, not even flinching. Sasuke watches in awe, but then snaps out of it.

Sasuke thinks,' Come on! Don't admire her!'

So! This is where I'll leave at! It's dinner time! I'll put up the next chapter sometime soon! R&R please! I tend to work faster when I get reviews! Can't wait to find out what y'all think! Sorry, I'm from the South!
