Um... this is my first story so it probably won't be that good or that long ^_^ this chapter is mainly background, from the main character's POV, but it's not really a chapter at all. read and review? constructive criticism would be nice, but flames aren't appreciated.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Cuz if I did, the Akatsuki wouldn't all die (or in Hidan's case, be buried alive), Kabuto would be blown up by Dei-kun for being a loser, and Sasuke would come out of the closet.
My name is Mitarashi Kai. My life up until now, to be blunt, has sucked. I probably sound like a whiny little brat, but hear me out. You might end up agreeing with me.
I was born fifteen years ago to Mizuki Hana and Mitarashi Ko. My mother died when I was seven. Raised mostly by my father, I grew up like a tomboy. My style has evolved since then and now I am what many consider punk. My father says I remind him of Mom. I inherited her crazy, curly red hair and emerald green eyes. Of course, I ended up inheriting Dad's dark skin tone.
Enough about my appearance. My dad passed away last month, and I was sent to live with my aunt Anko, who lives in Konohagakure, and works at Konoha High as a proctor for the kids who have in-school suspension. So, needless to say, she doesn't take bull from anyone. Since she works there, that's where she had me enroll.
She gave me no shortage of warnings when it came to the students there. Especially the gang Akatsuki. "Don't get involved," she said "they're nothing but trouble." Well, whatever. I'm sure I can handle it. After all, it's only high school. Whether or not I make friends, I will survive. If that's a good thing or not, I'm not sure. But I ain't going down without a fight.
