The Diary of Tsara Shikamuno
Hi, my name is Tsara Shikamuno as you can clearly see by the title. I'm 13 years old and I usually wear jeans and a T-shirt, but I'm a little different from most kids. I have fox ears and a tail to match, plus my eyes are emerald green with icy blue hair. I've been living in a tent just outside of the Village Hidden in the Leaves for almost a month now, and tomorrow is my first day at the ninja academy.
When I first got to the academy I was pretty scared, but then a kid in an orange jumpsuit with blonde hair came up to me and shouted happily "Hi, my name's Naruto, you must be new, wanna be friends! Huh, huh, huh!" I was taken aback at this but before I could recover he started dragging me into the school. When I re-gathered my wits I told him I still needed to turn in my registration forms, so he immediately changed directions to take me to the main office. Once that was over, Naruto started dragging me again and he took me to the classroom. He then shoved me into the teacher shouting, "Here Iruka sensei, it's our new student!"
I yelled at him at the same time Iruka sensei did, causing him to look at me and smile lightly saying "Welcome to the academy, so what's your name?"
"Uh, Tsara Shikamuno, and umm, thanks."
"Okay students this is Tsara Shikamuno, I expect you all to treat her kindly since it's her first day. Tsara you can sit next to Sasuke." Just then I heard all the girls in the class groan. Silently, I wondered "Oh no, is this Mr. Popularity at this school. Great just great, all the girls in the school now hate me. What else could go wrong?"
The rest of the class went without a hitch but at one point I heard some of the girls whisper to each other "What a freak, look at those ears."
"I know, I heard she just moved here because she killed someone for making fun of her."
"Wow, that's scary. Oh no, she can hear us! Shut up or she'll kill the both of us."
I couldn't believe rumors spread before people even had a chance to actually talk. After a few more minutes, the lunch bell rang, and Naruto bolted over to ask me if I would want to eat lunch with him. I agreed and once again he dragged me, but this time outside to a giant oak tree. We both got out our lunches and started to eat and talk.
He questioned, "So, how's your first day going Tsara?"
"It's okay but it still could be better," I sighed.
"Why, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, really, the first day's always the roughest. I'll be fine tomorrow."
"Okey, dokey."
As we ate a couple people came over and talked with us. Some girls even threatened me to stay away from their boyfriends, even though I knew they weren't going out with the boy they were talking about since half of the girls said the same guy, "Stay away from my Sasuke!" is what most of the girls said. Naruto and I burst out laughing after each girl said this. One girl came and sat with us for most of the period of lunch. Her name was Hinata and she wore a gray jacket with short hair and her eyes were grayish. She sat down next to Naruto and started blushing and talking very quietly.
"Akamaru! No!" Just then a little white dog jumped up and started to lick my face. "Sorry 'bout that," a boy with black hair and a gray jacket said. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, and don't worry about it, I like dogs," I replied.
"That's good. By the way my name is Kiba and that's Akamaru."
"Yeah, I noticed when you shouted at him."
"Yeah, I guess you did. Well, see ya later."
Sasuke, the boy I was sitting next to, was the last to come over, his hair was navy blue and he wore a blue shirt with a red and white symbol on his back with white pants. All he did was sit down in silence and start eating.
When the day finally ended, Naruto made sure I didn't get lost on my way home, but I couldn't let him know I lived in a tent. Still, he came along with me for a walk through the village. On the way we stopped to talk to a girl with pink hair and a red and white dress. I found out her name was Sakura, and she walked a while with me and Naruto, but after some time she got mad at Naruto and ran off.
Eventually, I left Naruto to go home to my tent in the woods. Someone was following me but I didn't notice because I was thinking of the great day I just had. Once I reached my tent, I finally realized that I had been followed. Turning around I saw it was Naruto with an accomplished look on his face.
"No wonder you didn't want me to walk you home!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Yeah." I whispered.
"Why do you live out here?" he asked.
"No reason in particular."
"Don't you have any family that you could live with?"
"I do, but I don't like living with them."
"Hah, so you do have a reason to live out here!" he shouted with glee. "You know, if you don't like it out here, I have an empty room at my house."
"I'll think about it then."
"Okay, well I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow!"
"I guess, and Naruto…"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"No problem," he said as he smiled sweetly.
