[Chapter 1: Sasuke and Sakura: Friends or Foes!]
Hatake's Apt.!
Yura yura to yuganda sora e
Kimi no motto e tonde yuke
Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru
SLAM!
"I need to get a new alarm clock," a young female voice mumbled as she pulled her blackish green heel length hair into a ponytail by a green hair tie.
The young female picked up a brash and gently ran it through her bangs that was covering her forehead before she placed it down. After she put down her brash she looked at herself in the floor length mirror in the room. She smoothed out her black jean vest that has a crystal made out of yellow, red, and green on the back opened over a green tight long loose sleeve shirt.
"Hitomi!" a male voice called up, "hurry up or you'll be late!"
"Don't even go there Dad!" the young female yells back.
She could hear her Dad laughing as she pulled on a black ninja pants accessorize with a green leather belt. She then accessorized with a green leather bracelet on right wrist and then addeda black leather chocker before she finished off the look with a pair of black 3" heel ninja sandles. She once again looked at herself in the mirror before she smiled liking the way the outfit looked finally.
"HITOMI MAMORU HATAKE!" the male yelled.
"Coming!" Hitomi called back.
With one last look in the mirror she walked out of the room and walked towards the kitchen where she saw a young man no older then 26 setting at the table with his face in an orange book that made Hitomi's slight neon green eyes twitch in annoyance.
"Finally," the male sighed as he looked up over the top of his book at her making Hitomi rolled her eyes before walking over, grabbed an apple and taking a bit out of it as she turned around. "What is with girls and taking so long to get ready?"
Hitomi looked at the clock and let out a sigh before she looked at the man with a glare.
"It's only 6: 25, Dad," Hitomi growled, "and the Academy doesn't open till 7 o'clock."
"Really?" he asked in surprised, "it's been so long I guess I forgot."
Hitomi had to bit her tongue to keep from making a comment making the man smile as he went back to his book. Once Hitomi was finished with her apple she throw away the core before looking at the clock again.
'20 minutes till the academy doors open,' she thought, 'I guess I can start walking now and get there just as the doors open.' Hitomi grabbed her bag that was kept in the kitchen making her Father to look at her. "I'm heading out now."
"Alright," he agreed, "have fun Hito."
Hitomi rolled her eyes as he cackled before she walked out of the kitchen and then out of the apartment.
Ninja Academy!
Hitomi had gotten there just as the doors opened letting in the kids that were earlier and she took noticed that a dark haired boy was there already surrounded by a group of squealing girls. The young auburn haired girl sweat dropped as she watched the scene before her and with a sigh she walked pasted them into the school. As she walked past the girls stopped squealing to look at her with awe and envy before going right back to fawning of the dark haired boy. The boy had watched as Hitomi walked right on past him and his fan girls without so much as looking back.
Iruka-Sensei's Room!
With a sigh of relief Hitomi walked into the room to see that the sensei a young man name Iruka and the young boy name Sasuke were the only ones in the room at the moment. Hitomi walked over to her set which was next to the window to wait for class to start when a young girl came in. She has white waist length hair that has pulled back into a ponytail at the nip of her neck with bangs that covers her forehead as well as frame her face beautifully and her bright blue eyes stood out from the rest of her looks making Hitomi to smile at her.
"Ohaiyo Luna-Chan," she greeted the young girl when she had took her set next to Aika.
"Ohaiyo Hitomi-Chan," the girl greeted.
Hitomi reached into her bag before she pulled out a benito wrapped up in a blue clothe that she handed over to the girl.
"Here," Hitomi said holding out the benito to her.
"Huh?"
"I got up before my clock went off and made it for you," Hitomi explained.
"Arigatō, Hitomi-Chan," the girl thanked in a small voice.
"It's nothing, Luna-Chan," Hitomi told her before the girls fall quiet. Hitomi let out a sigh before she went to look out the window which lead to her letting out a gasp. "Huh? Iruka-Sensei!"
"Yes Hitomi?" Iruka asked looking up at her.
"Um...you might want to look out the window."
Iruka did just that before he let out a gasp at he saw by now Sasuke and Luna where both looking out the window to see that the Hokage Mountain had been painted it on. Just then an Academy Teacher ran inside looking frantic.
"Iruka, it's Naruto!" he said, "he painted on the Hokage Mountain!"
"WHAT!"
Hitomi and Luna watched as Iruka and the other Teacher ran out of the room while more students where coming talking about the faces of the Hokage on the mountain.
Class!
Hitomi let out a sigh as she watched the scene in front of the class unfolded while Luna looked bored out of her mind.
"I'm at the end of my robe, Naruto," Iruka was telling a tied up blond haired boy, "you failed the graduation test last time, and the time before that. Tomorrow, you've got another chance and you're messing up again." Naruto turned around with a pout on his face like he didn't even care. "Fine. Because you missed it, Naruto, everyone will review the Transformation Jutsu!"
"Awwww!" the whole class, but Sasuke, Hitomi, and Luna groaned.
After a glare from Iruka, the whole class stood in front of him waiting to be called forward.
"Alright," a pink haired girl said, "Sakura, here. Let's do it." Hitomi looked at Luna who in turn looked at her before they shooked their heads. "Transform."
It wasn't long till an Iruka look alike was standing in place of Sakura.
"Transformed into me?" Iruka asked "good."
When she changed back the young pink haired girl started to jump up and down.
"Yes, yes, I did it," she cheered, "I did it."
"I kicked butt!" inner Sakura yelled.
"Sasuke, did you see that?" Sakura asked making Aika to roll her eyes.
"Alright, next!" Iruka called, "Hitomi Mamoru."
Hitomi stepped forwarded before she made the hand sign.
"Transform!" she stated before in a puff of smoke a young woman with dark purple hair in a spiky ponytail and wearing revealing clothes with a tan trench coat being the only thing that covers the rest while an orangish tan skirt covered the lower half stood in Aika's place.
"Transformed into Anko, good," Iruka approved as he wrote something down on the board. "Next up is Luna Hikari!"
Luna stepped forward as Hitomi headed back to her set where she could watch the rest.
"Transform," Luna said once she made the hand sign and in a puff of smoke she stood as a she was standing before Iruka as a silver haired man reading an orange book.
"Transformed into Hatake-San," Iruka said before writing something on the broad, "good." Luna turned back before she walked away. "Next! Sasuke Uchiha!" Sasuke walked forward before he did what the three before him did, but he didn't say anything. "Ah." Sasuke had turned into another Iruka. "Good." Once Sasuke turned back he walked away heading for his set, but not before looking at Hitomi. "Next! Naruto Uzumaki!"
"This is a total waste of time Naruto," a brown haired boy told him.
"We always pay for your screw ups," a pale blond haired girl agreed.
"Like I care," Naruto told them as he stepped forward.
'Naruto, do your best,' a blue haired girl thought as she watched him.
"Transform!" Naruto shouted before in his place was a naked girl with clouds around her private parts making Iruka fall back with a nose bleed. "Got cha!" Naruto turned back into himself laughing. "That's my Sexy Jutsu!"
"Cut the stupid tricks!" Iruka yelled at him, "this is your last warning!"
Next day!
Hitomi was once again setting next to Luna in class looking at the front waiting for Iruka to tell them what the test was about.
"We will now start the final exam," Iruka started to explain to them, "when your name is called, proceed to the testing room. The final test will be on-the clan jutsu."
'That's my worst technique,' Naruto thought in distressed, 'great I'm never going to pass.'
"First up is Hitomi Mamoru," Iruka said before he walked out of the class room with Hitomi right behind him looking ready to kill.
Testing room!
"Alright Hitomi," a whitish blue haired male told her when Iruka took his set, "make three clones of yourself."
Hitomi put her hands in a hand sign making Iruka and the other teacher to gasp.
'Shadow Clone Jutsu!' she thought before in a puff of smoke three clones of her stood next on either side.
"Congratulation. You graduate." Hitomi looked surprised when Iruka pulled out a green cloth forehead protector and handed it over to her with a smile. "Well, you tell Luna to come in here please?"
"Yes of course Sensei," Hitomi agreed before she walked out.
Class room!
Hitomi walked into the class room with her new forehead protector around her forehead making the boy from the other day to smile.
"Luna-Chan, Iruka-Sensei said that your next," she told the young white haired girl.
Hitomi nodded before she got up and walked out of the room for the test.
Outside the classroom!
Hitomi stood outside and watched as parents congratulated their children on becoming a Ninja as she waited with her Father for Luna and Naruto to come out. It wasn't long till Hitomi saw white hair in the group making the auburn haired girl to smile.
"Luna-Chan!" Hitomi called over as she waved.
The young white haired girl walked over to them wearing her new forehead protector on making Hitomi smile before they three of them walked away.
Two days later!
Hitomi let out a sigh as she sat behind Sasuke and Naruto waiting for Iruka to show up and start class while she paid no attention to the rest of them.
"What are you doing here Naruto?" the boy asked, "this is for those who graduate not dropouts."
"Oh yeah?" Naruto asked, "do you see this? Do you see this? Open your eyes Shikamaru it's a regulation headband. We're going to be training together. How do you like that?"
"Humph," Shikamaru sounded.
"Let me put it to you this way," Naruto said, "I look good in this head gear like it was made for me. Believe it! *Laughs*"
Shikamaru moved to set behind Naruto and Hitomi looked at him to see his head on his arms. Hitomi turned her head to look out the window when a noise in the hallway got her attention, so she turned towards the classroom door just to see Sakura and the blond haired girl known as Ino Yamanaka both of whom were the president and vice-president of the Sasuke Uchiha fan were trying to push past each other to get into the classroom and when they finally got into the class they were at it again.
"I'm first!" they both shouted.
"I win again Sakura," Ino told the pink haired girl.
"Give it up," Sakura told her, "I had to look back to see you. My toe was at least a 10th inch ahead."
"Have you always been this delusional?" Ino asked.
Hitomi let out a sigh as she felt a headache coming on.
"Hey!" she called, "wow! Where are you going?"
Hitomi saw Naruto stand up waving at Sakura who ran right up to the table out of the corner of her eyes.
"Hi Sakura," Naruto greeted, "what's up?"
"Move it!" Sakura yelled at him, "uh. Good morning Sasuke. Mind if I set next you?"
Sasuke looked at her for a bit before looking back up front of the class when Ino walked up.
"Back off forehead," she told Sakura, "I'm setting next to Sasuke."
"I was here first," Sakura growled.
"I walked into the classroom before you did," Ino told her, "everybody saw it."
"Dream on," Sakura stated.
Then much to Sasuke's annoyances fan girl after fan girl kept coming up saying they were the first ones here and that they should get to set next to Sasuke. Shikamaru looked at Hitomi with an annoyed look because the fan girls woke him up from his little nap as she looked at them with a very pissed off look just as Luna walked up to them.
"How does he do it?" he asked.
"I don't know Shikamaru," Hisoka answered, "and I really don't want to know."
Hitomi let out a sigh once again as the fan girls continued to fight over the sets next to Sasuke before she greeted Luna.
'Clueless,' Hitomi and Sasuke thought.
Else where!
In a dark room a group of people stood around a desk with a crystal ball on it and an old man setting behind it as they watch the scene.
"Promising new students; Sasuke Uchiha, Hitomi Mamoru, and Luna Hikari," one of the people stated, "is that them?"
"Yes, their the ones" the old man answered.
"Sasuke, Hitomi, and Luna are the only survivors of the Uchiha, Mamoru, and Hikari clans," another pointed out.
"That's right," the old man agreed.
The crystal ball showed them a blond spiky haired boy setting on the floor rubbing his head.
'Naruto Uzumaki, uh?' a third thought.
The Ninja Academy!
Hitomi let out a sigh of annoyances as the fighting went on so she decided to make it user for them to decide on where to sit. Shikamaru and Luna watched as Hitomi stood up from her set, onto the desk, and jumped to set in the set that the fan girls are fighting over. Hitomi let out a sigh as she kicked back and placed her right foot on top of the desk before she crossed it with her left foot then she put her arms behind her head as she closed her eyes trying to keep her temper in check which got the attention of the fan girls.
"Hitomi, that's my set!" Sakura yelled at her.
"I don't see your name on it, Sakura," Hitomi told her, "so just find some where else."
The fan girls started to yell at her to move it, but they all of a sudden went quiet making Hitomi to open one eye to see what shut them up to see Naruto on Sasuke's desk, bend down in front of him, and having a glaring contest with him.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled, "hey! Stop glaring at Sasuke!"
Naruto looked at Sakura with a pained expression, 'Sakura?' He then went back to glaring at Sasuke. 'Why are they so obsessed with him? Sasuke, Sasuke. What's the big deal with this guy?'
They glared at each other to the point Hitomi thought she could see sparks between them as she opened both eyes.
"Let him have it!" the fan girls yelled.
It was at that moment that a boy in front laughed, lend back, and bumped into Naruto making him fall into Sasuke, but what surprised her was the fact that they had locked lips and were kissing.
"What the?" Sakura asked.
"I…Uh?" Ino started, but was speechless.
Hitomi watched as the two boys pulled apart gagging with amusement clear in her pale lavender colored eyes as a small smirk appeared just as Sakura started to freak out.
"AHHHHH!" Inner Sakura yelled, "this is out rages! I was suppose to be Sasuke's first kiss! Naruto will pay for this! CHA!"
Hitomi just continued to watch the scene next to her like a TV show while trying to hold back a laugh though a very Uchiha-like smirk appeared on her face.
"I'll get you, Naruto," Sasuke growled as he gagged.
Naruto had stopped gagging as if Sasuke's threat got though to him, but he froze as he mumbled, "Danger."
Naruto turned around slowly to see the fan girls glaring at him.
"Naruto, your dead," Sakura threatened.
"Hey!" Naruto tried to reason with them, "wow! It was an accident."
"Your finished," Sakura growled as she cracked her knuckles.
"Hold on?" Naruto asked before being beaten by fan girls.
Else where!
"As usually Naruto's in the middle of some kind of trouble," the old man stated.
The Ninja Academy!
"As of today your all ninjas," Iruka-sensei told them, "to get here you face difficult trails and hardships, and that's nothing. What comes next well be for more difficult. Now your only Genin; first level ninjas. All Genin well be group into a 3 man squad with two squads of 4. Each squad will be lead by a Jonin an elite ninja."
Hitomi looked at him with an annoyed expression hoping that he was kidding as everyone looked at him shocked.
"Huh?"
'A 3 man squad with two squad of four?' both Sakura and Ino thought.
"Well someone's got to be in Sasuke's group," Ino whispered as Hitomi to rolled her eyes, "I wonder who?"
"I don't Know," Sakura answered.
'CHA!' Inner Sakura yelled, 'I'm going to be with Sasuke, so stay away from him you hag!'
'Groups of 3 and one of 4,' Sasuke thought, 'that'll only slow me down.'
'I want to be with Sakura and…Well, I don't care as long as it's not Sasuke," Naruto thought.
'As I'm not annoyed then I'm cool,' Hisoka thought.
"We want each group to have balance and ability, so that's how we sat up them up," Iruka told them, "I well now announce the squads."
After awhile!
"Squad 7..." Iruka went on. "Naruto Uzumaki, Hitomi Mamoru…"
Naruto jumped up with his fist raised in the air in victory. "Yeah!"
"This is great," Hitomi said with a smile.
"Sasuke Uchiha…"
"Hn."
"Next squad 8..." Iruka went on. "Hinata Hyuga…"
"Yes, sire," a shy/tamed voice called out.
"Kiba Inuzuka…"
"Haha," a boy laughed.
"Shino Aburame…"
Sakura and Ino hanged their heads with dispire.
"I don't get it," Shikamaru stated, "what do you see in a guy like him? He's not so special."
"Your so be on clueless Shikamaru," Ino told him, "don't you get it?"
"No I don't get it because I'm not a girl," Shikamaru answered her.
"*Sigh* Your so full of yourself," Ino told him, "jealousy is a terrible thing. I hate to be on your squad."
"Uh, Ino," Hitomi said making both Shikamaru and Ino to look at her, "I'm a girl and yet I don't get it."
Ino started in shock atHitomi as if she had never seen some one like her before while Shikamaru laughed quietly next to her.
"Now squad 10...Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara…"
'I feel sorry for Shikamaru,' Hitomi thought as she lend her head back to look at him.
"Ha," he laughed, "didn't you say something about hating to be on my squad?"
Ino growled at him.
"And Choji Akimichi!"
'Not food boy, too,' Ino thought.
"And finally Squad 11" Iruka went on, "Miko Neko."
"Right."
"Luna Hikari."
"Oh great."
"And Sakura Haruno."
"I hate this."
"These are all the squads…"
"Iruka-Sensei!" Naruto yelled as he stood up and pointed at Sasuke, "why does a great ninja like me have to be in the same squad as a slug like Sasuke?"
"Sasuke had one of the best scores out of all the gradating students," Iruka answered. "Naruto, you had the worst score." The whole class besides Sasuke, Luna and Hitomilaughed at Naruto. "To create a balance we put the best student with the worst student."
"Just make sure you don't get in my way loser," Sasuke told him.
"Hey!" Naruto yelled at Sasuke, "what did you say?!"
"What?" Sasuke asked, "hard of hearing?"
The class laughed at Naruto again as Hitomi rolled her eyes.
"Knock it off Naruto," Sakura ordered, "set down."
Iruka cleared his throat to get the class's attention.
"After lunch you'll meet your new Jonin teachers. Until then class dismiss."
Hitomi got up out of her set and left heading to go find a place to eat.
Path way: Tree!
Hitomi sat in a tree eating when she noticed Sasuke leaning against the tree she was in, but she at once knew that something was wrong, however, she just couldn't put her finger on it. Hitomi closed her now empty benito boxes and followed 'Sasuke's' line of vision to see him that he was looking at Sakura who had noticed him as well. The dark haired girl just blinked a few times wondering what was going on, but soon enough she got her answer.
"Sakura, your forehead is so wide and charming..." "Huh?"
"It makes me what to kiss it," 'Sasuke' finished.
'WHAT THE HELL!?' Hitomi thought in surprise, 'THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S SASUKE!'
"Kashing, she scores!" Inner Sakura cheered as she punched the air. "this fair tale is for real!" "Just kidding," 'Sasuke' told her, "that's the kind of dumb thing only Naruto well say."
"Oh," Sakura sighed as she hanged her head.
'Naruto?' Hitomi thought, 'there's no way Sasuke well talk to Sakura welling. Hell, I have a hard time getting him to say more then one word to me.'
"I wanted to ask you something," 'Sasuke' told her as he sat down.
"Huh?"
"Naruto...what do you think of him?" 'Sasuke' asked.
"He knows about my feelings and he purposely tries to get in the way," Sakura answered, "he enjoys interfering and making feel bad. Naruto...he doesn't understand one single thing about me. He's just annoying. All I really want is for you to except me, Sasuke, that's all."
"You just want me to except you?" 'Sasuke' asked.
'Ok, that's it,' Hitomi thought, 'that's not Sasuke!'
"Yes, that's how I feel," Sakura answered as she looked over at him, "I'll for that." Sakura then leaned in to kiss 'Sasuke'. "It's true, I'm desperate."
'Desperate is right,' thought Hitomi with a scowl, 'there's no way Sasuke would let Sakura get anywhere near him without a choice.'
'I finally know why I like Sakura so much,' Naruto thought as he leaned to kiss her as well only as Sasuke, 'I finally understand.' Just then his stomach started hurting making him pull back. 'My stomach, what timing.'
'Sasuke' then shot up and took off leaving behind a confused Sakura and an amused as hell Hitomi who was hiding in a tree.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Sakura asked.
"I'll be right back!" 'Sasuke' answered as he waved over his shoulder.
"I didn't know Sasuke was so shy," Sakura told herself. "maybe he just needs a little more time to get ready."
'Yeah, right,' Hitomi thought as she rolled her pale lavender eyes, 'if I know Sasuke like I think I do then just wait for the real him and Naruto.'
Later on!
It wasn't long till the girls one of whom was hiding saw Sasuke walking up the path.
"Sasuke, your back!" Sakura cheered, "don't be so shy you bad boy." Hitomi face palm at this while Sasuke just ignored her. "Are ready now? You know, mentally ready because I am." Hitomi jumped down from the tree and walked out of hiding. "I'm roaring to go." Sasuke just walked right past her with Hitomi right behind him. "Hey, wait a minute?"
"Where's Naruto?" Sasuke asked her.
"See there you go changing the subject again," Sakura didn't answer the question, "anyways, Naruto, just picks fights with you. You know, why he's so annoying? Cause he wasn't raised right." This got Sasuke and Hitomi's attention. "He doesn't have a mother and father, no one to teach him from right and wrong. Think about it, he's just does whatever comes into his head." Hitomi glared at the pink haired girl at the same time as Sasuke. "If I did things like Naruto forget it. I mean, my parents well get mad and I'll get into trouble so of course I don't do it. But, if you don't have parents to take care of you. How well you know? He's selfish and bratty. He's alone."
"Shut up," Hitomi told her, "don't talk about things you don't understand." Sasuke and Sakura looked at her before her eyes turned into slits and she glared at Sakura. "When you insult Naruto, your insulting everyone who had to grew up without their parents and that includes Sasuke and I."
Hitomi turned around and started to walk off.
"Alone, isolated," Sasuke told her making the young dark haired girl to stop, "it's not about your parents scolding you. You have no idea what it means to be along."
"W-why are saying that?" Sakura asked.
"Because your annoying," Sasuke flat out told her.
Sakura gasp as both Sasuke and Hitomi walked off.
The Academy!
Sasuke and Hitomi walked up to see Naruto just coming out of the bathroom, but his blue eyes widen when he saw Sasuke before he came to a stop.
"Ah!" Naruto glared at Sasuke. "Sasuke, how did you get loose."
"I use the escape jutsu," Sasuke answered, "no sweat, it was a very basic technique. Why you did that? Transform into me?"
'So it was Naruto,' Hitomi thought as she looked back and forth between them.
"I wanted to try my moves on you so I did," Naruto answered before he made Shadow Clones.
'What the!'
"Agh," Sasuke groaned, "the same technique again."
"This time you'll see what I can really do," Naruto told Sasuke, "your going for the count then you'll have to admit that I'm the best."
'Like Sasuke would admit that.'
"Get ready Sasuke."
Just then Naruto's stomach groaned making all of the clones ran to the bathroom at the same time.
"What a loser," Sasuke told Hitomi as he turned around and started to walk away.
Hitomi looked at Naruto before she turned and followed Sasuke.
{Me: I hate Sakura, so I'll apologize now to all of you Sakura fans for anything I say about her. Kitsune has a special way to show if she's annoyed without use of words, but she intends to insult the one who annoys her with words.}
