My first upload! Yay! I'm excited, I had some trouble getting this story started but I hope it turns out okay. Thanks to Double T and spell check I think I got all grammar and spelling correct.

Double T: You're welcome!

Oh and I don't own Naruto or any characters from the manga/anime, I only own the Oc's and some idea's.

Chapter 1

"Sareiko! If you take any longer you're going to be late." My mother called, causing me to sigh in irritation. But listening to what she said, I quickly grabbed my Sunagakure forehead protecter and went downstairs.

"Well don't you look like a ninja Sareiko." My mother commented when seeing I had come down from my room. "You would look even more grown up..." my mother trailed off reaching behind her back. "With my forehead protector."

I squealed with excitement, hugging her quickly before grabbing it and tying it on my head. My mom was giggling as I did so.

"When I was your age like you I would wear my forehead protector as a headband." My mother informed. "But look at the time! Enough with this chat, we can talk after you get back from the academy. Kano! Walk your sister to the academy will you?"

"Yes I will, I'll be down in a second." Kano's voice called from upstairs.

"Thanks mom! I'm really happy you gave me this." I thanked as I played around with my forehead protector.

"It's no problem Sareiko. I have been dying for the day you would graduate so I could give this to you."

"She has, and finally we don't have to hear it anymore." A familiar voice said. I turned around to find my dad standing in the hallway that connected to the living room. Kano was standing a little bit behind him.

"Dear! I only talked about it because I was excited to give it to her! Kano already received yours, so I couldn't wait till my turn!" My mother shrieked pointing a finger at my dad.

I looked towards my dad to see what he would as he walked over to my mom and gently cupped her face with his hands and kissed her.

"EWWW!" I screamed shielding my eyes and running to the front hall and out the door. I could hear Kano laughing at my actions.

After about 2 minutes Kano stepped outside, and still he was laughing.

"Was that too much for you Sasa-chan?" Kano teased.

"I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a ninja. And I don't need that nickname anymore." I snarled.

"You didn't look like a ninja as you ran out of the house screaming eww." Kano teased.

"Whatever! I'm off to the Academy then." After saying this I turned on my heel and head towards the Academy. When I consistently heard footsteps trailing behind me my eyebrow began to twitch.

"Why are you following me?" I hissed, glaring at Kano.

"Mom told me to walk you to the Academy, do you not remember."

I sighed heavily. 'Honestly, I'm officially a ninja now and I'm still being treated like a child. Seriously when am I going to get a break?'

Kano seemed to notice my downing mood and decided to ruffle my hair. "But you're a ninja now, and I will be the one to decide your first mission." I tilted my head giving him a confused look.

"Your first mission will be to arrive at the academy on time without an escort." Kano smiled a warm brotherly smile down at me ruffling my hair once more before backing away.

"Hai!" I saluted towards him then turning to run to my destination while letting one more thing be said to Kano. "Being on time is one of the Shinobi rules!"

Kano just smirked at me as I ran off towards my new life as a ninja.

I made it into my class room exactly at 9:00, so technically I wasn't late, but the look Tetsu-sensei gave me told me that this would not happen again. I nodded towards him and quickly went to my seat next to Nobumaru.

"Well, what do we have here? Looks like Sareiko-chan has finally decided to sit by me."

"The only reason I sat by you was not to cause Tetsu-sensei any trouble by roaming about the room." I hissed then immediately sighed after. "Just we glad that this was the closest seat there was from where I came in at."

Nobumaru has had a crush on me for awhile now, but I never have returned the feelings. Mostly because he annoyed the crap out of me and was always picking fights with me. I just hoped when we were assigned teams that I was not on his team.

"Well today is everyone's first day as a ninja and since you all have officially graduated from this academy, I will be assigning each of you to a team, based on your individual abilities." Tetsu-sensei informed.

"Team 4; Team 5; Kaori Tsukimoto, Enjeru Tsubasa, and Akuma Okami Team 6; Sareiko Hokisuna, Nobumaru Tama, and Mofubuki Yemon.

My face turned to stone as I heard who was on my team. I slowly turned my head towards Nobumaru. He was casually leaning on his elbow, smirking at me, making my skin crawl. I wanted so badly to knock that smirk right of his face.

I raised my hand and when Tetsu-sensei turned to me I knew I could ask my question.

"Why is 'this' on my team?" I asked standing up while pointing at Nobumaru.

Tetsu-sensei laughed at my question. "We group ninja on their abilities. On your particular team we put the ones with great chakra control with ones who aren't so great at it." Shigatsu-sensei said pointing at Nobumaru when he said 'ones who aren't so great at it.'

"Hey! I can control my chakra!" Nobumaru defended, looking quite mad at what Tetsu-sensei had said.

I didn't reply but simply sat down to hear the rest of the teams. Nobumaru did the same, still a little mad from what Tetsu-sensei had said.

"Then I will continue. Team 7; Aikon Kagai, Iguru Tsubasa and Ittetsu And lastly, Team 8; Gaara, Minoru Usagi, and Komaza . Each team will meet with their new sensei at the location that's written on these scrolls. Now that the teams have been announced you all are free to go."

I looked around as everyone started gathering with their teammates, but there was one team that caught my attention when they were called. Team 8. I shivered when I looked over at the short redheaded boy and felt very worried for his teammates, who were smart enough not to get too close to him.

As if feeling my stare he looked over at me and our eyes met. Usually it's one of those cliché moments when you look a guy in the eyes that you fall inlove. This was not one of those moments. In his eyes I saw death and the dire urge to kill and destroy anything that got in his way. I quickly averted my eyes and looked down at the table.

"Sareiko-chan, are you okay?" Nobumaru asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, let's just get Mofubuki-kun, the scroll and leave." I stood up followed closely by Nobumaru. We found Mofubuki-kun who had the scroll and we left to go meet up with our new sensei.
