Three o'clock. Friday 17 July 2009. The last lesson before the summer holidays. All the student's eyes were glued to the clock above Ms. Clarke's desk. All the eyes except those of one seventeen year old girl by the name of Kate Shepard. Her chocolate brown eyes were instead submerged in the sketch book that lay flat on her desk. Pencil in hand she carefully marked the paper in her individual manga styled characters. Gently she placed her pencil back on the desk and pulled a fine liner out of her pencil case. She started to ink the eyes ever so tenderly. The air was suddenly filled with whispers of excited teens.

Five. A slim delacate link to highlight the glimmer in the eye.

Four. A thicker line for the eyelashes.

Three. A dark center to illustrate the pupil.

Two. Several wispy lines for detail.

One. Steady, simple line shading.

DDDRRRIIINNNGGG!!! The class was empty in a matter of moments while the teacher attempted to remind the students of their summer homework. An exhausted smile crossed her face as she watched them leave in mass. Then she saw Kate putting away her things, she always seemed to be the last one out as she hated the rush. Finally Kate headed for the door.

"See ya Miss, have a nice holiday!" She called as she strolled down the corridor towards the buses.

"You too Kate!" Ms. Clarke chimed back.

Soon Kate was sat in her usual place on the 240 school service bus. The loud frenzied shouts of younger school children consumed the bottom deck. Being the only person in non-uniform on the lower deck singled her out as a 6th former and a bus monitor. For those who don't know, a 6th form is basically a collage that is on the same grounds as a secondary school. You have freedom to wear what ever you want but you have to start paying bus fares, unless you are a bus monitor. She remained silent until a year seven that was sat behind her lent forward and tapped her on the shoulder. Slowly Kate turned around and faced her twelve year old step-sister, Momo. Kate had given her the nickname and Momo seemed to like it so everyone began to call her it.

"Yes Momo?" Kate asked with fake enthusiasm resounding in her voice.

"Kate will ya go to the shop with me?" She asked with vigour.

"No." She replied shortly. Then Kate proceeded to turn around again.

"AAWW why?" She asked persistently.

"Because you ask me every day, so fuck off!" The conversation ended. This was a regular conversation that the two shared almost every bus journey that occurs on the way home from school.

Ten minutes later the pair entered their home. They lived in a relatively small village. In a relatively big house to accommodate all the family members that dwell within it. As she opened the door Kate was met by the icy stare of her step-father. Her gaze fell to the floor as she scurried into the kitchen. The scent of pork chops and chips wafted through the air. Kate hurried up the stairs to her bedroom and she slowly crossed the war zone that was her room floor as she made her way to her single bed to dump her school bag and books . Then she recrossed the wasteland to get out of her room, not missing the several plugs that were face up and just happened to be where ever she placed her bare feet. Rushing down the stairs Kate knew that she couldn't go on the family laptop until they had all finished tea and had done their chores.

Once again in the kitchen Kate sat down at the dinning room table with her younger sister, Krista and her older brother, Drake. Then her step father entered the kitchen wearing his apron as he served their tea. Then Momo came down and sat at the table talking and eating with the rest. A small blue car pulled into the drive as Kate's older step brother Mitch returned from work. Also her cousin Tim who was slightly younger than her came and sat at the table. They all chatted about nothing particularly important for most of the time that they were sat and also making quip remarks when the opportunity arose.

After tea was over the monotonous chores began. Washing the plates and all the utensils involved in preparing the food was up to Kate, drying was up to the others. The advantage to a relatively large family is that most of the work is done quite quickly if every one co-operates and doesn't attempt to sneak away. Only after the parents were pleased that everything had been done could everyone disperse to their rooms. Kate rushed to the shared laptop in the utility room that she shared with Krista.

Just a couple more chapters and i will be up to date! She thought to herself excitedly as she sat on the old worn swively chair. Soon she was submerged in the Naruto universe. Aw, Sai is sooo sweet, he really does want to be Naruto's friend. Will Naruto and Konohamaru ever grow up? WHY THE HELL IS DANZO HOKAGE?!?!?! HE SUCKS SOOO EPICALLY!! Yay! Gaara! He is sooo awesome.

After finishing the latest chapter Kate wandered up to her room.

"Krista! The laptops free!" Kate called to her sister before disappearing into her room. Two large round pale blue eyes looked up at Kate from a bright laptop screen. Kate shared her room with her youngest sister, Momo. [Kate was the only one that wouldn't lay a finger on her, unless you count poking, but that doesn't count so they shared a room.] Kate then collapsed onto her bed making a soft thud. She then grabbed her sketch book from her school bag and began to draw her favourite characters from Naruto. Gaara was in the middle, then it was Sai and Hinata was in the background. A smile crossed Kate's face as she placed a fourth outline next to Gaara. After a few more moments there was an manga version of herself stood smiling brightly next Gaara. After several hours of random discussions and many illustrations the tired looking head of Kate's mother poked through the door.

"Bedtime girls" Adela smiled.

" Alright, did you have a nice day at work Mum?" Kate asked as she tidied away her drawing utensils.

"It was good i got a few clients." Adela replied exhausted. She worked as a alternative therapist using oils and needles to cure people aches and pains. She had a placement at an army training barracks on a Friday so having to fix strapping young soldiers sometimes took it out of her. That was why Kate's step father, Darin did all the cooking.

"That's good... sweet dreams Mummy" Kate said wanting her to rest. A weak smile passed Adela's face as she silently closed the door. Kate snuggled down into her warm duvets. Although it was mid July and really warm Kat had two duvets on her bed just in case it went cold in the night and if not she would just throw off the covers in her sleep. Soon Kate drifted into the lands of her subconscious.

The bright new morning sun rays danced on Kate's closed eyes. A small moan escaped her lips as she slowly rose from her previously comfortable position. Her eye lids half covered her tired brown eyes. Her bare feet gingerly made contact with the floor below as Kate walked on instinct into the bathroom. After the toilet flushed Kate rushed out of the small room and looked at where she had just awoken from. This room was not hers. There was only one bed and the floor was visible! She quickly stepped out and realised that she was in a single person apartment. Whilst still in her pajama's Kate hurried out of the building and into a street. She looked around and saw familiar buildings but she knew that she had never been there before. Suddenly a shadow passed above her. Looking up Kate could not believe what she had seen. There were people leaping from rooftop to rooftop in many different directions. She spun around and realised where she was.

"Oh my god! You have to be kidding me!" She said to herself as she looked up at the imposing Hokage building. "I'm in fucking KONOHA!"
