SWORD AND SHEATH
AN: This is an AU story involving Naruto, Sasuke, and another character of my creation. The story with have aspects of the original, but for the most part it is completely imaginative. It is mature for content; language, suggestive themes and possibly violence.
DICLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING OF NARUTO!
She walked into the first class of the day for her first year of college. She took a deep breath and sat in the back. She was in all advanced courses so she was entering into what would normally be a junior class. She pulled out a notebook and began doodling on the cover nervously, her chestnut brown, red highlighted hair in a messy yet stylish bun let escape a few strands that framed the fair skin of her face. Her eyes, which were covered by glasses, looked brown due to the special lenses. She chewed on her bottom lip as her doodle quickly became a rough sketch. She nearly jumped out of her skin when someone sat next to her. She looked over to see a blonde guy and she scanned him closely. He wore a black tank top with a bright orange button up over it and some blue jeans that had fashionable tears in them.
The guy had three, almost whisker like scars on each cheek that were very nearly drowned out by stunning cerulean blue eyes. He smiled at her as he caught her staring and said, "Hi, I'm Naruto Uzumaki." She smiled slightly and said softly, "Hello. I'm…Kana Warfang." She smiled shyly and went back to her doodling. She felt like she shouldn't be there. She wore a black tank top with a baggy hoodie over it and some baggy black pants with steel toed boots that were also black, but with neon green laces. The professor walked into the classroom and introduced himself. Kana spaced out a bit until she heard her name called, "Kana?" She looked up, "Yes sir." She stated more than asked, "Would you mind bringing your head out of the clouds for a moment enough to join us?" It was clear that the teacher already didn't like her. "Yes sir, I'm sorry." She said softly.
The teacher continued calling names off the roster and went over the syllabus. After that, the class was dismissed, being told that there would be an online quiz for the syllabus, due by the end of the week. She grabbed her stuff and walked out, nearly running into a raven haired boy who was waiting outside the room. "Sorry." She said as she dodged out of the way, narrowly missing hitting him. She began to walk to her next class, but didn't have any idea how to get there. She turned to see the blond boy, Naruto, talking to the raven haired boy. She blushed and quietly said, "Uhm excuse me, but do either of you happen to know how to get to the Fitness building?" She winced, expecting to be scoffed at, but instead the blond smiled, "Sure thing, we're heading there too, if you'd like to walk with us?" He smiled at her. "I-if you don't mind." Even the raven haired boy seemed to smile. "This is your first year here isn't it?" He asked his voice smooth and seductive. She looked to the floor and nodded. Both boys were taller than her by about two or three inches, and she was five foot nine. They began walking together to the fitness center. It turned out they all had the same weight lifting class. However, it seemed the two boys were paired together and she was paired with some guy. He scoffed as he muttered about having a girl as his partner, but luckily today was just a syllabus over view. She sighed as she began to follow her schedule to her next and final class of the day…English.
However, before Kana could get there, she was met with a group from her first period class. "Hey look, it's the day dreamer." One of the boys said. She looked up and blushed and tried to walk around them, but they wouldn't let her. She backed up, only to back into another of their group. "So, what makes you think someone like you can just come in taking junior courses?" The guys all sneered at her. They were your traditional thug wannabees, but they clearly meant business. She tried to move out of the way, but she was pushed to the ground, hitting her knee pretty hard on the tile floor. She looked up at them through her glasses, which were promptly knocked off as someone shoved her the rest of the way to the floor, and they all left laughing. She began to feel around for her glasses, barely opening her eyes, not wanting anyone to see their true hypnotic amber color. "Hey are you alright?" A male voice asked, it was unfamiliar, but she answered him softly anyway, "Yeah." Her glasses were handed to her and she looked up at the person after she put them on. He had smooth black hair, until it reached his ponytail, which was short and spiky. "Thanks." She said softly before heading to her last class of the day…at least for school.
As she walked in she saw Naruto and the raven haired boy sitting in the middle of the room, the professor chastising them over something that Kana didn't pay attention as she sat in the back. The man had an almost benign look about him even as he was chastising them. "Ah, Miss Warfang, would you kindly sit in the open seat down here?" He asked, indicating an empty seat in front of the two he was previously chastising. "I am Mr. Umino, you may all call me Iruka if you please, but I don't like people sitting in the back." Kana nodded and silently walked to her seat, avoiding a bag that dropped right in front of her feet. She picked it up and handed it back to the girl with long blonde hair in a ponytail. "Uhm thanks I guess." "Now, to the lesson, the syllabus is simple, do what I tell you and if you make an effort I am willing to work with you. Now who has their books?" Kana raised her hand along with Naruto and the raven haired boy he sat next to. "Hmmm not nearly enough." Iruka said. "Well, then class is dismissed for today, there is a basic quiz online that you all need to take in the next couple of days. It will determine your groups. Have a nice day."
Kana got up and began to walk to her car. She looked in the backseat to make sure her class uniform was in the back seat. She noticed a sleek black sports car parked across from hers. She saw the raven and Naruto heading for it. She got into her car and carefully backed out her black Trans Am. She drove to her martial arts class. She was 22 and currently working on mastering her sixth martial art. She COULD fight and she was excellent at fighting, but she didn't like to unless for competition or if she absolutely had to.
She didn't notice that the black sports car was following her, not until she pulled in and pulled out her uniform. She was attending a new dojo, but a sister school to the one she had attended before. She quickly walked in and went to the changing room. She paid respects to the archway and went to ask the sensei if there was anything she could do to help set up. "No thank you. He said, that's when she recognized her Fitness teacher. "Uhmm, aren't you Dr. Hatake?" She asked puzzled. He looked up from the book he was reading, "Ah, Warfang, this is interesting." The door opened and in walked the guy who had helped her earlier, Naruto, the raven, and a guy that had a white dog on his head. "Kibaaaa!" The blonde whined as he had the blonde in a headlock giving him a playful noogie. The guy with the ponytail muttered something like "troublesome."
"Now that we're all here, let's get started." Kakashi said. He held up one bell, "Whoever can take this bell from me will be safe from warm up, that is if you can do it in less than ten minutes. GO!" He moved swiftly. "Huh?" They all said. They looked around for him and she took a deep breath. The raven seemed to be on the same page and they both headed for the boys locker room. "Are you really going to go in there?" He asked as she was about to open the door, "Yes, yes I am. I am not scared." He chuckled and the blonde came up to them not long after followed by the rest. "I don't smell him anywhere else." That puzzled Kana and she took a step back and looked straight up. "Nice try." She whispered. She saw him reading the same book as before, which she now saw was a gay porno. She looked at the stack of mats, but the raven haired boy was already going for them, he was fast.
The blonde shouted, "Sasuke! Oh no you don't." Naruto chased after him and the other the one who had Naruto in a headlock followed while Kana and the ponytailed guy waited. Kakashi leaped down, "Oh you guys are working together. Good." He put the book away and I pretended to jump at him and "tripped". I grabbed the bell and held it out to him. "Got it." He looked at his belt and was shocked. "Well then, you are exempt from warm up." I handed it back to him, "No thanks." The four boys looked at me. "Why not?" Naruto asked curiously. "Because warm up is important, it can help prevent torn hamstrings and such. It also allows you to assess how far you can push yourself that day." Kakashi smiled, "Good job. If any of you had tried to skip warm up, you would have done one twice as hard. Kiba, Shikamaru, Naruto, Sasuke, and Kana, line up."
