Hey guys. This is my 2nd story. If you have Stiffkitten101's story "Decode", you'll see that Hinata is paired up with Rakuya, an OC. Well, this is my take on it. This is from Rakuya's POV in "Decode". Well, here it goes!

Chapter 1:

I am awakened by my iHOME's alarm. "Ugh, six o'clock already? Fuck." I say out loud. I struggle getting up, so instead I do what I do whenever I have a long night: roll off the bed. The shock of my head hitting the floor wakes me up. I put my alarm on snooze and crank up the volume on my iPOD and play "Anthem" by Good Charlotte.

"It's a new day but it all feels old!"

"Ain't that the truth, man?" I think to myself as I get dressed. I put on my school uniform: white long sleeve polo with the school's logo on the right shoulder, a black tie, and black slacks. I don't like looking too formal for school. Never was my style. Never got used to it since.

"Well, I don't ever wanna be like you! I don't wanna do the things you do!"

Screw formalities in school. So I roll up my sleeves, loosen my tie, ditch the slacks and put on some black skinny jeans and slip on my shredded Vans. I finished freshening up and stare at my reflection.

"Do you think I'll have the guts to talk to her today?" I think to myself. There's this girl at school I've been head over heels for since like, I don't know . . . FOREVER. I leave the bathroom, grab my iPOD, my backpack, my skateboard and head out the door. After locking my apartment, I run into one of my friends. Oh yeah! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Rakuya Valentine. I'm seventeen and a student of Konoha High School. Pleasure to make your acquaintance! Now I bet you're wondering my I have a Japanese first name and an American last name. Well, I'm actually half Filipino and half Japanese. My father was Filipino and mom was Japanese.

With that aside, back to my friend. His name's Kiba. He's pretty wild. Brown hair, red markings on his face. I still don't know how the hell he got those. He keeps changing the story every freaking time I asked him.

"Oh these are birthmarks." "Dude, Akamaru like clawed my face!" That's his dog. Akamaru. Damn, I've never seen such a gigantic dog in my entire life! He's bigger than a Rottweiler jacked up on steroids!

"Yo, Rakuya! What's up?" he shouts out o me across the hall.

"Nothing much, bro. Just groggy that's all."

"Haha! Still don't have a license?"

"Shut up, man. I actually prefer skating to school. The wind hitting my face and blowing through my hair, the freedom, the-"

"Alright, alright I get your skater banter."

"Well, I'm off bro. See you in second period. Don't be late! Kurenai-sensei'll kill you man!

"Don't stutter when you see HER in the halls!" he shouts back. I got nothing to say to that but flip up the finger. AS I make my way to school, I see my best friend on his motorcycle. Pretty quiet guy. Girls go all goo-goo eyed for him. Raven black hair tied up in a long ponytail, dark pain-filled eyes. His name's Uchiha Itachi. Senior, top of his class. In a gang. I'm in it too, but I'm not really into it. I just see as opportunity to hang out with him before he heads off the college and like never see him again. I'm like family to him. Watches my back and I watch his. I hear a girl yell at him.

"Watch where you going, moron!" she yells out.

"I think she should be the one who should be watching where she's going." I think to myself. My iPOD goes on to another song. I recognize the intro, my anthem of rebellion and skating. "Holiday" by Green Day.

"Hear the sound of the falling rain comin' down like an Armageddon flame!"

"HEY!" I shout out loud. I reach school with plenty of time to chat with my friends. I run into Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke. Same eye and hair color as his older sibling, but he has his hair styled up all crazy. He's quiet but not as bad as his brother.

"Hey, dude." He says.

"Morning. You look like shit."

"Fuck you. You're the one who kept us up pretty much all night 'cuz you weren't satisfied with my guitar playing!"

"That shit piece of guitar of yours wasn't even tuned properly!" At that statement, the bell rang. As I made my way to first period, I heard someone swear.

"Yeah, you're fucking welcome. Well you better get to class. Don't wanna be late on your first fucking day."

It was weird, 'cuz it was in a polite tone. Then I saw that it was Hidan, one of my gang mates. Apparently, he was showing a new student around. He turns to me with a pissed off look on his face.

"And you should get to fucking class too, Rakuya."

"I was on my-"

"Don't argue with me, bitch. Do you want to messs with me? 'Cuz I can fucking sure have Madara-sama give you hell during our next meeting." He said smiling.

"N-no. I I'll just go." I started running to my class. Thank God I made it before the tardy bell rang.
