CHAPTER 1

"Ughh...ten more minutes grandma" The black haired girl ruffled her hair and took a peek at the clock. She opened her eyes with a jolt. "OH CRAP".

The girl rushed to the toilet and washed herself, she looked at the mirror and saw a light tanned girl with amber eyes, her shoulder length jet black hair was messy as usual "good enough" and grinned widely at her own reflection.

She wore her usual white short sleeved shirt and had a red vest that covered only her upper torso. The black haired girl wore her three quarter black pants and slipped on her ninja sandal. Making sure she hadn't forgotten anything, she took her backpack and ran out.

The amber eyed girl ran the whole way to the academy. "Craaaap I hope Iruka doesn't notice I'm not there yet!"

Suddenly there was a flash of orange, white and yellow. "What the heck?" The girl stumbled and was about to fall, she closed her eyes waiting for the impact of the fall...that never came. She opened her eyes and saw black slits staring.

"You gotta be more careful you know, what were you doing anyway Ariya-kun?" Extending the 'kun' part and smirked.

"Heh, thanks for catching me Kiba-chan, but I didn't need help. I have it all under control" While emphasizing the 'chan' part.

The brunette smiled his toothy smile "yeaah right," He chuckled

"Come on then we can go to class together if you want and there's no rush, we still have time."

The girl smiled widely at Kiba "Heh, I knew I wasn't late..!" The Inuzuka boy shook his head as he chuckled and walked with the girl to the academy.

"Damn, what is taking Iruka sensei so long?" The Inuzuka asked loudly to no one in particular.

"Yeah and Naruto isn't here too...oh crap" She smacked herforehead'What is Naruto up to now?'

Ariya heard fast footsteps outside, and looked outside the window. She saw Naruto running while carrying some paint and was chased by some of the teachers and she shouted out " What did you do this time?"

Naruto ran while pointing on the hokage faces and grinned like an idiot. As she looked up and soon laughed out loud causing other students to stare strangely at me. She poked Kiba's sides and pointed to the hokage faces.

He smirked "The idiotic knucklehead heh".

Ariya's POV

A few minutes later Iruka sensei came in class while dragging Naruto in, tied up with a rope.

Iruka sighed "Thanks to Naruto you all will be doing the transformation jutsu again" the whole class groaned except for a certain Uchiha.

Everyone lined up and I was behind Sasuke.

"Haruno Sakura" I watched as Sakura turned into Iruka sensei and back to herself and looked at the Uchiha hoping for a compliment…. Which never came.

"Hotaru Ariya"

I changed into Iruka sensei and back to myself and went to my seat.

I knew by the grin on naruto's face he was planning something, something bad but I was sure it would be funny so I kept quiet seeing what the knucklehead was going to do…

As it was Naruto's turn he did transform but something even Iruka sensei did'nt expect….. a half naked blond woman. 'Crap! I should have stopped him when I got the chance!'

Kiba next to me however was laughing like a maniac and I hit the back of his head. "Ow! What was that for?" He looked at me surprised.

Then Iruka sensei said that tomorrow we'll be taking the graduation exam and naruto said loudly to me "I'll pass this time for sure! Believe it!" I couldn't help but envy his determination.

After school was finished I took my bag and made my way home. While I was walking I heard fast footsteps from behind me.

"Hey Ariya, hold on!" Kiba ran after me with akamaru by his side. I stopped and turned my head, raising an eyebrow.

"You didn't even wait for me! How could you?" He pouted.

"Ehehehe I totally forgot! Sorry, I'll make it up to you! Riceballs on me?" I smiled.

"I feel like going for ramen today, how about that?" Kiba grinned.

"Eh, I can do that" I swung my arm over his shoulder.

We went to Ichiraku and took a seat.

"Hmm Naruto's not here, maybe he's still cleaning the hokage faces"

"What will you have Ariya-chan?" Ayame asked

"I'll take the shoyu ramen" I said

"And I'll take the miso ramen" Kiba grinned.

We talked while we ate our ramen and when we finished I paid for the ramen and went home. Me and Kiba went our separate ways.

I got my sandals off and opened the door " I'm hoooome!"

My grandmother came running "Oh dear! You're finally home! I didn't make dinner because I'd thought you would go out and eat."

I grinned "You're amazing, you would always know when I ate and when I didn't! It's like you can read the future!" I hugged my grandmother and went to the living room.

"Hey kiddo!" My grandfather smiled.

"Hey grandpa" I grinned again.

I couldn't help it, every time I see my grandparents I'd grin like an idiot. They took care of me since, well, forever. My father died when I was still an unborn baby and mother died giving birth. I asked my grandparents about my parents but when I see their faces I decided to stop asking and deal with it.

"So, your test is tomorrow right?" My grandfather asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready for it, but more practice wouldn't hurt, can you help me grandpa?" I smiled. Grandpa was one of the greatest ninja, he was retired by the previous hokage because of old age. He's my idol, he always teaches me the techniques of our clan the Hotaru clan.

It's a shame we're the only descendents left. But I'm still glad I still have my grandparents, some people were so unlucky to be alone. I tried my best to make friends with these type of people, including Naruto. I tried to befriend Sasuke but he pushed me away before I had the chance, though that didn't really stop me...

FLASHBACK

FIRST ATTEMPT

"Hey sasuke wanna train together?" I walked up to the uchiha.

"Don't bother, I train alone and I don't need a weak fangirl to train with anyway." The Uchiha said with no emotion

I stared at him, a bit surprised. "You idiot, I'm no fangirl and besides, training alone wouldn't do you any good!" I turned around and left him.

SECOND ATTEMPT

At school before class starts

"Hey about the other day.." I hesitated.

"Yeah, I'm sorry." Sasuke said without turning.

I stared at him as if he'd grown a second head "O-okay, I was going to say sorry for being harsh, I was just kind of angry that you thought I was one of your stupid fangirls." I grinned and scratched my neck nervously.

"Hn" He grunted.

FLASHBACK END

I laid on my bed thinking deeply and closed my eyes.

"Maybe, just maybe I can make sasuke open up to me, I'm pretty sure he needs a friend." I said aloud to no one in particular.

After changing her clothes to her pyjamas she went to bed and fell asleep instantly.
