Chapter One~

TenTen POV

Staring out the window, a large grin spread across my face. The large clock tower in the middle of the campus was just about to hit three-thirty, and then I could just run back to my dorm and fall asleep. I could really careless about the teacher droning on and on about what was going on during class. She loved me and I had an A in this class. So, I could care less.

Three, Two, One…….

A loud ding pronounced the time for us to leave and I jerked up from my chair and hurled my bag onto my back. My fingers flex and the eye screen flickers on, revealing the pings from other classes, Kin, Jun and other family members. At the very corner of the screen I could see my ranking from the millions of people that went to the school; 1,745,043. It was a very dismal number, but I could deal with it. It's not like I actually wanted to be famous.

"Kurosu TenTen-san," Kurenai-sensai said and I turned to face her, my eye screen flickered to match her face with a name and a number. Yuhi Kurenai; 5,103. A reputation shiver traveled through me like every time I saw her during class, her fame had escalated. This just proved that even teachers could be completely and utterly famous. Mostly due to the boys talking about her model-like beauty; with bedroom crimson eyes and kinky black hair that reached her mid-back, it wasn't surprising.

"Yes, Kurenai-sensai?" I asked politely, with a bow of course. It was practically a law to bow to those who had a higher rank than you, especially teachers. She stared at me for a moment, in almost disbelief. I usually couldn't stay still, and she would be one of the only people to have noticed that of all things.

"Would you stay after school and tutor a couple students of mine?" She asked slyly, her eyes sliding away from mine. She loved me so much that she was trying to up my face rank.

"I'm sorry, Kurenai-sensai, but I can't." I said to her softly, "I have to study for myself."

She stared at me long and hard before sighing, "Alright, you may go now."

A light sigh of relief came from me and I walked down the hallways, my fingers twitching as I distracted myself with the eye screen. My face-rank remained the same, though Kurenai-sensei's seemed to go even higher. Apparently people were gossiping about her again. Luckily I wasn't being talked about. I hated hovercams. They were such an annoyance.

A ping rolled in with a red highlight around it; Jun. I chuckled as my fingers twitched to open it. She wanted to meet me in the courtyard. She always addressed the letters as 'Buns' it was her weird nickname for me since my hair was rolled into two buns on top of my head all the time. It kept it out of the way.

I began to flicker through the feeds; some were about the new hoverball game that was coming up and the last one that already passed. A boy with a bowl cut, Rock Lee, seemed to be leading the boy's hoverball team. His face-rank hovered around 7,000, it was still a lot. At least I didn't have to see him anymore. I could remember when we used to go to elementary school together. We weren't that close, but we shared crayons. He had the biggest smile that always made me laugh.

Twitching my fingers again, the feed with his wide smiling face disappeared and one flickered up about the female hoverball team. This one had a sandy haired girl with four pony tails on her head. She had transferred from Suna, which made her famous for just that until she became the star of the hoverball team. Subaku no Temari; 6,964. I hadn't really gotten to know her, but I heard she was a real bad ass. Most of her fame was from how often she was suspended and detention, but that didn't matter anymore. Her fame kept her from too much trouble and that made me laugh. It was from the trouble that she was famous!

Flicking around again, a sharp pain in my forehead made me fall backwards and my eye screen went a little haywire. It almost felt like I was going to have a seizure for a moment. My ring finger flicked, turning the eye screen off; apparently I walked straight into the corner of the corridor. Curse my inability to multitask! A light growl escapes my lips as I rubbed the angry spot on my forehead, oh joy, a bruise. How fitting for one of the most extra extras.

"Are you alright?" A soft, almost musical voice asked me and I looked up to see a girl with a manga head and wide, opaque eyes. I didn't even need to look at my eye screen to know who she was. Her name was Hyuuga Hinata; her rank always hovered from 7-15. But she was still extremely famous. An enormous reputation shake ran through my spine and I nearly fell down. There was a hovercam right behind her, and I could see a couple more trying to follow her.

"Ye-Yeah, I'm fine." I said to her gruffly before quickly walking away.

"W-wait!" Hyuuga Hinata called out one of her hand reached out, as if she was trying to keep me from running away. I'm not sure if it was the surge that she had or just her personality that made her look so vulnerable, but it made me want to hold her tight. Her huge eyes looked glossy, as if she was going to cry any minute now, and her lower lip looked as if it were threatening to tremble. So, I couldn't help but do what she said. The façade, as it seemed, was put to an end and a radiant smile broke out across her face. I could feel my face heat up and could see the cameras focusing in on her face. Some of them jostling to get the best angle.

"Yes?" I asked softly, it felt as though I could break her just by my tone of voice. There were lights flickering over one of her eyes, as if she was trying to figure out who I was. Her adorable face contorted in frustration.

"What's your name?"

"Kurosu," I said softly with a deep bow, "Kurosu TenTen."

"Hyuuga Hinata." She said, even though who she was was obvious, as she braved a step forwards with a short bow.

"It was nice to meet you, Hyuuga-hime, but I must leave." I said softly, before turning on heal and running as fast as I could to the court yard. My eyes watered as I didn't close them, I usually ran a lot with my eyes open. I didn't enjoy running into things.

I couldn't help but see Jun sitting on the large roots of a grand oak tree; it was an extra hang out, but it was a beautiful sight and the famous people were very sight-missing. Other than that, I could see both of her eye screens—typical for an art-head—flickering in unison in her dark hazel eyes. Her signature smirk was spread out onto her lips as her fingers twitched and she began to howl with laugher. Dark brown—nearly black—curls sprung around her head. Seeing her pale skinned face again made her face and name flicker before my eyes (I had turned my eye screen back on while running). Hiroshi Jun; 978,704. Her's was nearly as bad as mine and that was probably why she hung out with me.

As I reached her, I grabbed both of her ring fingers and turned off both of her eyescreens. Jun blinked a couple times before smirking at me, "Hello, Buns-chan. I just saw you on the feeds with Hyuuga-hime."

A scowl stretched out on my face and I began to flicker through the feeds again, and she was right. Apparently there was a hovercam that actually paid attention to the extra that was talking to Hyuuga Hinata. Every girl that was above the rank of 100, like Hyuuga Hinata, was referred to as hime and every boy that was above the rank of 100 was referred to as ouji. Everyone else who was higher than you was referred to as 'Senpai'. Anyone who was above the rank of 10, sometimes like Hyuuga Hinata, was referred to as hime-sama or ouji-sama.

Anyways, an extra-slammer by the name of Yatsu Ichigo—29,895—stood there, 'Who's the ugly extra talking to Hyuuga-hime?'

I could feel the scowl deepen on my face, as if it was set in stone. Then, my eyescreen suddenly went blank. Looking down, I saw Jun hold onto my ring finger with a smirk.

"What did you want me down here for?" I asked her with an arched eyebrow, my gaze searching behind her. A large canvas was behind her. So this was what it was about.

"Well," Jun started out as she pulled the canvas out from behind her back and flashed it into my gaze and I stared in complete and utter awe. The picture amazed me as I stared even closer at it. If I had the patience, I would count the light brush strokes that ran across it. It was of—what looked like—a forest that had a trickling creek. Of course, I've never seen an actual forest except in history books. We weren't really let off the island unless we had family permission, even though the littles and uglies that were in elementary school were often picked up. The middles and highschoolers were left in dorms.

"Do you hate it?" She asked biting down on her full lower lip, her fingers curling around the canvas as if it was a shield.

"Jui- chan," I started off with a sigh and she took an intake of breath, "Yakuno-ouji shouldn't be beating you in ratings."

She then hit me with the canvas, a wide smile on her face, "I don't compare to Yakuno-sama!" A wide blush taking over her cheeks; she always had a crush on him.

"Why don't you just tell him that you like him?" I asked her even though I already knew the answer, she was an extra and Yakuno Sai—29—was extremely famous. A lot like me talking to Hyuuga Hinata, it was pretty much like a meteoroid crashing on this island right now; it was that rare. She just stared at me sadly before changing the subject, "Wanna go hoverboard racing?"

"Yes!" I said immediately flicked my fingers a couple times, pinging my hoverboard to come over right now. It crashed right into my torso that it came so quickly. Taking a quick glance towards my face-status; it was now 999,989. Wow, it took a dip. I didn't really care about face-status, but wow did it change quickly. A rather slow jackhammer began to go off in my head and I squeezed my fist tightly, turning the sound off.

Jun was rolling in laughter; her hoverboard was already there.

I hated how she did that. Not only was she an art-head but she was also a tech-head, more along the lines of an art-head.

"C'mon, Tart-head." I growled at her and she glared at me, it was my 'creative' combination of an art-head and a tech-head. She always hated it when I called her that. The pings began to slow and my eyes went directly to one with puppy dog eyes. I immediately knew who it was, Inuzuka Kiba—178—he had been my secret crush since I was a middle. Way before we were even able to get a surge, not that I was even able to get one. My mom didn't approve of them even though she let me get the eyescreen and skintenna, I couldn't wait till I was 17, then I'd be able to choose for myself. She only let me have those two things so that she, and my dad, would be able to ping me anytime they wanted to.

Even the crumblies had face-ranks, just usually not as high as anyone on the island.

My shoes gripped tightly to the hoverboard and I looked towards Jun, she was smirking at me.

"What?" I snapped at her.

"You're as red as a tomato." She said while giggling, it was incredibly crazy-making also embarrassment-making. At least for me it was.

"Am not." I murmured under my breath, my fingers curling into fists as I shot a glare at her; she was balancing herself on her hoverboard. She wasn't she very good at it and was still learning, I only taught her a month ago. I couldn't help but smirk at the advantage I had over her right now. It was very happy-making to be better at something than she was.

"You were just thinking about Inuzuka-senpai, weren't you?" Jun stated with a wide grin and I hid my face from her. I hated it when someone did that. Especially her. She was able to read me so easily.

"Shut up," I snapped at her, "I'm gonna kick your ass."

A ding sounded in my head after the profanity escaped my lips. Every time someone cursed, they lost merits. Merits were like the Rusty money, except it's a lot harder to earn them. Sometimes I wish I was famous so I wouldn't have to earn anything, I could just ask for it; then the hole in the wall would give me what I wanted. That would be awesome.

"Three……Two…..One…" I counted down before taking off. The wind roared through my hair—it was still up in identical buns—and pulled at the loose strands. I could tell I was going really fast because I couldn't see Jun anymore. I would never go easy on her, no matter how much of a beginner she was at it.

The shapes around me blurred, but I could still see the map of the race in my eyescreen. The blue dot was me and the red dot was Jun, she was far behind me. Then, a gold dot appeared in my way. A gold dot? But only….

A sharp crack ran through me and I could feel my arms flailing around me to catch myself. When I came close enough to the ground, the crash bracelets came into effect and nearly ripped my arms out of their sockets. Then, it dropped me and a sharp pain wracked through my skull.

"Dammit…" I whispered before everything faded to black

Review and I'll put up the next chapter! BTW, I used to be NinjaDancer, this is my new account. I'm ashamed of my old writing style and stories. That's why I made a new account. I'm now going by Kendall. Though you may call me Kit if you wish.
