Serenity's P.O.V.

I stood in front of the class, nervously rolling my hair with my index fingers. My heart was pounding harshly, and a nervous blush was on my face.

I just transferred here from the Sound Village. Konoha is what this village is called, and I just enrolled in their ninja academy. I'm about eleven, and so were the rest of the students in this class. I shouldn't be so shy, yet this is who I am…a shy girl.

"Your name please?" a man with a scar along his nose asked me.

I gulped lightly.

"K-Kazahana Serenity." I said lowly.

"Can you say it louder?" he asked me.

"My name is Kazahana Serenity." I said a bit louder.

"Your classmates cant hear you if you speak so low-"

"MY NAME IS KAZAHANA SERENITY!" I yelled out.

Not only am I shy, but I have pretty bad mood swings for a girl my age. But I was always told that it wasn't my fault, it was the serpent's fault. The serpent made me do things I shouldn't. I already knew I wasn't what you would consider 'normal.' I'm not stupid. I'm different in a way from everyone. I see things, and I feel things that I cannot describe. It's a gift I guess.

A boy with blond spiky hair stood up and gave me a big grin. He had whiskers like marks on his lightly colored skin, and his cerulean eyes stared into my amethyst ones.

"AND MY NAME IS UZUMAKI NARUTO! AND I'M GONNA BE THE NEXT HOKAGE!" he yelled to me. "BELIEVE IT!(I miss Naruto saying this ._.)"

"Yea right!" another girl with blond hair pulled into a pony tail said. "Like you'll become hokage!"

"Yea, you're just a trouble maker, it's a drag to hear you say that all the time." a boy with brown pineapple hair said as well.

The blond hair boy looked at them. "YOU TWO SHUT THE HELL UP! I WILL TO BE HOKAGE!"

"NARUTO!" the teacher now yelled. "STOP MAKING A RUCKUS OVER THERE-"

He was quiet when I began to clap for him. The look in his eyes made me smile. His determination was radiating. It's made me happy. And I haven't felt happy in years.

"You will be hokage." I told him simply. "And I'll be there to cheer you on to the end, Naruto-niisan." I told him gently.

The whole class was quiet, even the Naruto boy was taking back from my sudden comment. But it was true. I can see it. With my eyes, I can see his future. I don't know why, but I can.

"No way! You're crazy!" some random girl yelled out.

"Yea! Our hokage should be handsome and skilled, not ugly and stupid!" another girl yelled out.

"Yea, someone like…Sasuke-kun!"

"Yea! Sasuke-kun!"

"Sasuke-kun!"

"…S-Sasuke…kun?" I asked lowly to them.

They all looked to glare at me.

"HOW COULD YOU NOT NOTICED HIM!"

"YEA, HE'S ONLY THE MOST HANDSOME GUY IN THE LEAF!"

"SASUKE-KUN!"

They all soon looked over and went all fan girl mode to a boy who was the complete opposite from Naruto. Midnight hair was formed into a shape of a duck's ass with bangs that frame his face. He was pale, and his onyx eyes were dull and lack emotions, just like his face.

He wasn't paying attention to any of this. He was staring out into the distance. I wont lie, but he is pretty attracting for a boy his age…however, his looks wasn't something that would make me instantly fall in love with him. Handsome or not, he actually looked like a total asshole.

My face turned into a pout like form and I walked up to take a seat next to Naruto. Naruto looked taking back. The girls who were all in fan girl mode in the beginning looked over at me, just as shocked, along with the rest of the class members.

"W-What?! Why aren't you trying to fight and sit next to Sasuke-kun?!" a pink hair girl ask, her emerald eyes stared at me.

I faced her. "I'm not interested. I didn't come to school to fight a guy who will probably never like me. I came here so I can become a ninja. Not for love." I said simply.

The class was quiet, and even the Sasuke boy glanced at me for a few seconds before,

"Hn. The first girl to ever make sense in this school." he said simply.

"Yep" I said simply as well, turning away to face Naruto with a smile.

'I see…friendship in you. You need comfort. For now on, you'll be my brother.'

1 Year Later

"WHY ARE YOU TWO LATE?!" Iruka-sensei yelled at me and Naruto as we walked in.

"HEY, WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT US!?" my worse half yelled back at him. "YOU CAN YELL AT ME ALL YOU WANT, BUT DON'T YELL AT MY SISTER!" Naruto glared at him.

I looked at him. "Naruto." I said gently to silence him.

He closed his eyes to grumble, and I looked over at Iruka to give him a soft, innocent smile. "I'm sorry for our tardiness over these pass few days. I've been convincing Naruto to come to school so he can graduate this year as a Genin. I completely apologize, for the both of us." I bowed to him, letting my black hair with violet streaks fall out of the lose ponytail and around my body before looking back up at him.

I saw Iruka twitched a little before shaking his head and sighing. "I…I suppose I'll let it go because it was for a reason. Naruto, you should thank your sister." He turned his back.

I shortly faced Naruto, flashing him the peace sign with a grin while he gave me a thumbs up and a grin before we went back to normal, me smiling at Iruka still. "You two may take your seats now."

"Yes, sensei."

"Yea, whatever."

Iruka twitched irritatedly and we walked to our desk, laughing a little. As we laughed, I glanced lightly over to the other side of me when I felt eyes on me. I saw Sasuke, slightly looking at me. I frowned deeply, flicking him off while pulling down my eye lid and sticking my tongue out.

He twitched as well, and I laughed to myself along with Naruto when he turned to do the same thing. He looked away from us, irritated and we high-five one another.

"Serenity." Naruto called me lowly.

Yep, I taught him how to whisper.

"What?"

"We need some money. All that ramen we bought yesterday and today when we went to Ichirakus…well the money is all gone because of it!"

I sat to think about it before grinning at him. "We'll rob an old lady."

Yes, me and Naruto are close like I said we were going to be. Naruto is my big brother, my worse half, while I'm his better half. However, that better half is slowly changing thanks to Naruto's easy persuasion tactics. Since I'm the 'innocent' one, I get us out of those troubles. It's the good life…just not the good life.

Naruto laughed loudly, and I quickly slapped him, hard, so that some tears came out of his eyes. Iruka and the class looked over at us as I went to hug Naruto, covering his laughter with my shoulder. "Shh, it's ok." I told him before looking at Iruka. "Can we have a minute?" I asked him.

"What's wrong with him?" he asked with concern.

'Fuck, think woman!' I thought to myself.

"…It's rather personal. Can we step outside please?"

He scratched the back of his head before nodding. "Yea sure." he told us.

We got up and I still kept Naruto covered before opening the screen door and closed it once we were out. I stopped hugging Naruto and he kept laughing, rubbing his swollen cheeks. "Rob an old lady, that's a good one."

I gave him a look. "Naruto, I'm totally serious. They have money."

"Why don't you just go beg?" he scratched his cheeks. "That's kinda below my standards. Besides, you always beg-"

"Yea, ALWAYS!"

"Please, 'Ree?' he asked me by my nickname.

I stared down at his pleading childish face, and I couldn't help but to sigh out. "…Fine, I'll beg…again. However, next time, we're robbing an old lady."

"Deal." he grinned.

So, I was out here now in the good life area. I looked as cute as I could with a jug in my hands. I already made us enough for a months worth of ramen, other household necessities and other stuff, but I was planning on doing this till about 9 o clock. It's already late, and the walk back to Naruto's apartment was pretty far.

I have an apartment of my own, yes. However, I didn't like being alone in there. Memories that I don't want to remember kept coming back. Tears of pain comes out at time in that cold apartment. A feeling that I don't want to remember comes out as well. And it's all from being alone.

Naruto's apartment, however, was like home. I had someone there and I could always remember that someone would always be at home. It's warm when you have someone with you. It melts your skin when you feel the atmosphere. It makes you forget.

I was quickly snapped out my thoughts when someone put some money in my jug. "Thank you sir." I gave him a smile.

They continued to walk on and I leaned on the fence I was standing in front of. "I'm tired." I concluded.

I shortly heard some foot steps coming towards me before stopping right in front of me "…What are you doing here?"

I quickly looked up to see Sasuke. Those eyes stared down at me, bored, and he had his hands inside of his pockets. His words were cold to me, I frowned up and glared lightly at him. "Nothing." I said simply, my glare dropped. "I suppose you live around here?"

"…Possibly." he smirked down at me. "You're begging out here?"

I held out the jug. "As you can see, yes." I told him.

He was quiet, just staring at me. This is the most staring he has done in the past year. It was actually freaking me out. I never really did care for Sasuke. He insults my brother too much. I wouldn't say he's cocky…but he is. I don't hate him nor like him. He's really like…ehh to me. I don't really care. All I care is about my brother. However, I couldn't help but to feel pain from him. He's hurting, and I can feel he's very vengeful. Anger is in his heart. I can feel it when I'm at school.

…However right now…something else was in his heart. A mixed emotion. I don't really know how to describe it.

"When was the last time you ate something besides ramen?"

"Huh?" I asked him, withdrawing from my thoughts.

"I asked when was the last time you ate actual food?"

"…What are you talking about? Ramen is food!" I gave him a duh look.

His sweat dropped and we kept staring at one another. He soon stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Yea, alright." he told me.

I turn to face the other way with a pout. Ramen not food, ha! But I was snapped out of my trace of thoughts when I saw Sasuke placing all of these Ryos in my jug. I was taking back! This was a lot of money!

"S-Sasuke? This is a lot of money."

"…I don't need it." he said lowly. "You and that dobe need it more." he told me.

"…" I shortly gave him a smile. "Thank you." I said.

Something stuck on his face, but it came and left instantly. He began to walk. "If you really need some money, just ask me." he told me.

The amount he gave me was enough for me to go home now. I couldn't wait to show Naruto this much. And it was thanks to Sasuke.

I guess I was half way wrong about Sasuke.

He's pretty nice.
