Chapter 1: Transferred
Shizuko Amori, a 17 year old quite, shy girl who lives with her step-mother, Sayuri Amori and Aunt, Koneko Amori, in an over sized house for three people. It had two floors with 5 bedrooms (all on the second floor), a large kitchen, dining room and 2 sitting rooms (one at the front of the house and one at the back) along with 2 garages and a huge garden with a river at the bottom of it. Since Sayuri was the Principle at the local High School (Kiri High) she could afford the house. Koneko works for Sayuri at the school as her assistant and would sometimes teach too. Both Shizuko and Koneko didn't like the house and wanted a smaller one but Shizuko wasn't old enough to move out on her own and Koneko was never paid enough to afford a place for both her and Shizuko. Only enough to pay for the rent at Sayuri's house, which was a ridiculous amount.
Her Aunt and step-mother were the same age, 35, but dress and act totally different. Sayuri was about 5ft 3, where Koneko was about 5ft 5. Sayuri had long black hair which was always tied up in a high ponytail. She wore glasses but didn't need them and wore no make-up. She never did, not even for a night out. And all she wears is office wear, even on her days off.
Koneko had choppy blonde shoulder length hair. Koneko needed glasses unlike Sayuri and Koneko was in with the 21st century fashion. And she wore make-up but only eyeliner and mascara to highlight her deep blue eyes. Sometimes people would think that Koneko and Shizuko were sisters when they went out.
Shizuko POV
It was a Thursday evening and Shizuko was in the Garden. The setting sun was shining though the tree and leaves, birds singing and the sound of the water flowing down the river at the bottom of the garden, with a slight breeze in the air swaying the leaves and flowers. This atmosphere was great for doing photography work. Shizuko would love to be Photographer as a job but my step–mother, Sayuri, would never approve. Sayuri is more of 'you need to do well in life so study, study, study'. Her step-mother was that harsh about photography that when Shizuko asked for a camera for her 17th birthday, she wouldn't even look at Shizuko. Instead Shizuko's Aunt, Koneko, bought her one. Sayuri wasn't happy about the whole thing. Koneko would do a lot for Shizuko behind Sayuri's back, which is why Koneko and Shizuko have a good friendship.
This year in the Land of Water the summer hadn't been so good. A lot of rainfall and dreadful storms. Today was the best day throughout the whole summer. It was the last day of the summer so Shizuko wanted to spend it outside but then turned sour and started to rain again. Shizuko was out when it started to rain. She took the opportunity to go outside in the sun to take pictures. She didn't take her umbrella as normal so she got wet. Sayuri wouldn't be impressed. Shizuko doesn't really like her step-mother, for more reasons than one. When the rain started to get heavy Shizuko decided to turn back and go inside. Once inside she just stood in the back sitting room looking out the huge window and stared out into the garden watching the rain run down the window.
"Shizuko, Sayuri wishes to speak to you" Koneko said walking into the sitting room. Shizuko just day dreamed out the window still watching the rain. It was like watching Niagara Falls. Small water droplets would fall off her clothes and hair because of the rain.
"… Ok Koneko" Shizuko said slightly hesitating still looking outside. Koneko is her father's sister. 10 years ago Sayuri married her father (Shizuko was 5) but 2 years after the marriage her father died in a car accident. Since then she has lived with her step-mother.
Shizuko quickly skipped up the stairs towards her Sayuri's office. 'Knock, knock'
"Enter" Sayuri said with irritation in her voice. Shizuko didn't want to go in because she was worried of the tone in her voice, and the fact that she was soaking wet from being out in the rain.
Shizuko stood there for a minute. With her clothes dripping wet and had her Camera bag in her hand she opened the door slowly.
"Y-you wanted to s-see me?" stuttering as Shizuko's head peered around the side of the door.
"Yes." Sayuri said looking down at her desk doing paper work with the same irritation in her voice. Sayuri lifted her head up and paused, looking at Shizuko as she closed the door "Why are you wet?"
"Erm … I-I went outside a-and forget my umbrella." Shizuko said lowering her head.
"AGAIN!" Sayuri shouted slamming her hands on the desk as she stood up, making Shizuko jolt. "You're going to catch a cold. Pull your act together!"
"Y-yes … sorry" Shizuko muttered. Shizuko lowered her head. Sayuri walked over to her, pulled Shizuko's chin up to face her.
"Right, well anyway, it's time" Sayuri said with a smirk taking her hand away from Shizuko's chin. Shizuko looked back down.
A week later
It was the start of a new school year. Shizuko was starting at Konoha High as a senior. Konoha High was located in the land of fire. This was Shizuko's final year of High School before going off to University. Shizuko was uneasy about starting a new school in a completely new country since she missed the first 2 year of high school at Konoha. She felt alone.
"I'll pick you up at 3:30" Koneko said looking at Shizuko in the car.
"Yeah, ok" Shizuko said with a fake smile trying to make a good impression. Shizuko looked out the car window at the school. Un-clipped her seat belt and got out of the car.
'Please come back, I don't want to do this' Shizuko waved as her aunt drive off.
She walked through the Konoha High gates and her first impression of the school was 'Its better then my school and a lot bigger.' Their uniforms were better than the students back at Kiri High (Land of Water School). Kiri High students wore a white shirt and tie and if you were a girl, a black shirt and for a boy black trousers.
Konoha High girl's uniform was a white short sleeved blouse. Instead of a tie it was a ribbon. A long green waist jacket with a brown skirt. And also long black socks. The boy's uniform was a white short sleeved shirt and tie with a green waistcoat. And black trousers. Even though Shizuko wore a skirt back her school, she didn't like to show off her legs. While looking at the uniform she noticed that the ties and ribbons were different colours having either a blue, yellow or red tie/ribbon.
Shizuko could feel the embarrassment as everyone was staring. She was the odd one out as she didn't have a uniform yet. She hated being stared at and also being the new girl.
Up ahead was the school. There was one main building and two others to the right and left of the main building. Shizuko got a little apprehensive, gripping her bag tightly and tripped up the steps a few time. Once at the top of the stairs she stood at the main doors of the school, tried to open them but the doors suddenly opened, pushing Shizuko to the floor.
"Ow" Shizuko said falling back.
"Hey! Watch where you going …" a female voice said. She paused as she looked Shizuko up and down "newbie!"
Shizuko just looked at her as she ran passed.
'I hope everyone's not like that. Maybe this is a bad idea" Shizuko thought to herself grabbing her bag.
Then a shadow appeared over her. "Hey are you ok? Sorry about that. She only thinks of herself" a male voice said from above her holding his hand out.
Shizuko looked up and there, a handsome young male. His hair, chestnut brown with lighter brown highlights through it. It was a scene, emo hair style and slightly spiky like a hedgehog. Although, he had these red triangular shapes on each cheek on his face. But she couldn't stop staring. If only there were guys like him back home in the Land of Water. While grabbing his hand Shizuko nodded yes to answer his question, still with a faceless expression. He helped Shizuko up then picking up her bag.
"Sorry my names Kiba Inuzuka" handing out her bag.
"Erm … I-I'm … I-I'm S-Shizuko A-Amori" she stuttered slowly grabbing her bag from Kiba.
He giggles "Ha, you're as bad as one of my friend. She stutters too." Kiba stated smiling. Shizuko's mouth twitched a sideward smile.
"Erm … t-thank you, I-I err have to g-go" Shizuko stuttered trying to get passed.
"Hey wait. You look lost" Kiba said putting his hand on Shizuko's arm.
"Am I that obvious" Shizuko said, with a slight giggle. "Do you know where the office is?" she added.
"Yeah, sure spend most of my time there, ha" Kiba said with a huge smile on his face. "Ha I'm only joking, c'mon I'll take you to the office" he added walking in front of Shizuko.
Shizuko followed Kiba through the doors and straight to the stairs that led to the first floor. Shizuko was still looking around as everyone just stared. It felt like they were walking for ages to get to the office. The main building had three floors, ground, first and second. The office was on the first. There's also a rooftop but only seniors can go up there.
"Well here we are" Kiba said with a huge smile on his face. "I hope I get to see you around" Kiba said still smiling.
"Thank you for showing me where to go" Shizuko smiled, slightly blushing because of Kiba's smile,
"Hey you didn't stutter" Kiba and Shizuko both laughed.
'Rinnng, rinnng'
"Well I better be getting to class, bye" Kiba said waving goodbye. Shizuko watched Kiba walked around the corner before going into the office.
"Maybe I will like it here, hmm should have asked him what the coloured ties and ribbon means" Shizuko said walking into the waiting area of the head teacher's office.
Inuzuka POV
It was the start of a new school year and Kiba had overslept again. Not good since he was now senior at Konoha High. This was his final year of High School before going off to University. As normal Kiba's mother, Tsume would have to get him up.
"KIBA! GET UP!" Tsume shouted opening his bedroom door.
"Yeah … ok mum" Kiba called back, still half asleep.
When Kiba finally started to move, he stumbled towards his bathroom. He was lucky to have his own bathroom. Kiba walked into the bathroom and looked at the mirror, startling himself with horror when he saw himself in the reflection. He had bags under his eyes from staying up to late playing on his video game. On the left side, his hair was flat from him sleeping on it; whereas the other side was a mountain of waving/spiky mess. He opened the cabinet-mirror, grabbing his face wash. While washing his face Kiba started to fall asleep again, then hit his head on the mirror. After drying his face he brushed his teeth, carefully examining them once he finished. Putting everything away he grabbed his hair brush to try and brush out his matted hair. Hair is everything to Kiba; he would spend hours on his hair if he needs to. Opening his cabinet-mirror again, he grabbed a pot of wax. Once Kiba had finished styling his hair he started to check himself out in the mirror for a minute then relied the time. Running into his room he quickly started to get dressed.
"AHH! NO, WHERE ARE THEY?" Kiba shouted throwing clothes from this wardrobe around the room and onto his dog, Akamaru, who was sitting on his bed.
Kiba ran down stairs with only his black trousers on, looking for his shirt and tie.
"Kiba!" his mother shout while holding up his shirt and red tie from the kitchen. "I was just coming up to give you them. I was ironing them" she said.
Kiba took them with embarrassment, quickly putting them on while going back upstairs to get his bag and waistcoat. He came down when into the kitchen, grabbed a slice of toast and putting it in his mouth. He then ran to the front door to put his red converses on.
"Bye mum, Akamaru!" Kiba shouted taking the slice of toast out from his mouth, before running out the door.
"Kiba! Kiba!" Tsume shouted out the door. "Ha, that kid" she muttered to herself smiling.
Kiba POV
It takes Kiba about 20 minutes to get to school, if he ran! While running to school eating his toast, loads of students from the school would be greeting him. Once he was at the school gate he stood there to catch his breath. He then started to walk towards the school still greeting other students. Skipping up the steps two at a time, he went inside and straight to the second floor putting his note books in his locker. He then went to the office on the first floor to collect his timetable.
"Morning Kiba" a young woman with short night sky hair said.
"Hey Shizune" Kiba said walking in.
"Here you go" Shizune said passing Kiba his timetable.
"Thanks, I'll see you around" Kiba said turning around to leave.
While walking out of the office he turned right while looked down at his timetable to see where he had to go first. But in the corner of his eye Kiba could see a small black sports car stopping outside the school. Then a girl with dark red hair got out of it. Confused to see why the girl wasn't wearing the uniform, he walked down towards the ground floor. Just as he got to the last step a girl jumped on him.
"Hey Kiba" the girl energetically said with a huge smile on her face.
"Hi Ito" Kiba said with less excitement, nudging the girl off his back. Ito was one of the popular girls. Everyone knew her and most girls wanted to be her (only the new student's like the freshman). She was shorter than Kiba, who was about 6ft, and had long dark brown hair.
"How was your summer? My summer …" Ito started babbling.
Kiba just nodded not really listening to what she was saying, as normal. Ito was obsessed with Kiba and has been trying to get with him since they started as freshmen at Konoha High. But Kiba has never really felt the same way back.
"Kiba oh I have something to show you" Ito said with a smile on her face pulling Kiba's arm. While he was following Ito outside, he saw her push someone over.
"Hey! Watch where you going …" paused as she looks her up and down "newbie!"
Kiba just looked at Ito. He walked over and helped the girl up.
"Hey are you ok? Sorry about that. She only thinks of herself" Kiba said to the girl sitting on the floor.
'Wow! I've never seen her before. And her hair is so cool, wonder if it's natural? It just a nice red colour too. She must be the first person I've seen with shoulder length, choppy hair. Her eyes are a deep ocean blue. Wow…' Kiba was thinking. 'Wow! Even her style of fashion is amazing, Cargo skinny jeans with black DM boots and top. Who are you?'
Kiba helped her up and showed her the way to the office. As soon as Kiba and Shizuko got there the bell went for classes to start. He said his goodbye and walked towards the stairs to the second floor.
'I hope she's in my classes' Kiba was thinking as he run up the stairs to his class.
Shizuko POV
Shizuko raised one arm up to her chin as a wave but not until he was almost around the corner. She walked through the door way towards the main deck. The same women from before was standing there wearing a navy skirt and jacket but was facing in the other direction putting some files away by the looks of things.
'CRASH!'
She slammed the filing cabinet but with such force it made the windows in the office move!
She turned around and jumped a little putting her hand to her chest. "Oh … my you gave me a shock. I didn't hear you come in" Shizune said.
"Oh I'm s-sorry" Shizuko apologetically said.
"Oh no don't worry" waving her hands in front of her, smiling. "How can I help you?" Shizune said still smiling.
"Oh … erm … I-I'm here to see Ts…" Shizuko started to say.
Flash back
"When you get there don't say Tsunade's name, or your cover will be blown. No one other than her friends knows her first name." Sayuri stated.
"Y-yes … step-mother" Shizuko stuttered.
"And would you stop calling me step-mother. It's mum" Sayuri stated, with an annoying tone. Shizuko didn't say anything.
Flash Back over
The woman just stared at Shizuko in confusion.
"Erm … t-the head t-teacher" Shizuko suddenly blurted out.
"Ok … what time was your appointment?" Shizune asked looking down at the diary book.
Shizuko opened her bag and rustled around to find the piece of paper with her time on it.
"Erm …" Shizuko said while pulling out the piece of paper. "… 8:30am" She added.
The women looked down at the desk and ran her finger down an appointment book to find Shizuko's name.
"Ah … here we go. Shizuko Amori yes?"
Shizuko nodded, still with a faceless expression.
"If you take a seat and I will tell her you're here" Shizune stated as she pointed to the seats on the left, still with a smile. "Oh and I'm Assistance head teacher Nemoto but all the students call me Shizune" she added smiling.
"It's very nice to meet you Shizune" Shizuko said bowing. Shizuko walked over to the chairs and sat until her name was called.
10 minutes later
Shizuko was the only one waiting. For the past 10 minutes she's been watching Shizune open and closing the filing cabinet.
"Hey, Shizune! Iruka needs some more books!" a blonde boy yelled as he walked in.
"Ok Naruto … I won't be a minute." Shizune stated.
'Wow they do call her Shizune' Shizuko was thinking watching this blonde hedgehog walk in.
Shizune soon walked out from her desk and into a small cupboard. Shizuko looked up to see this blonde hedgehog looking at her, with his arms behind his head.
"Is this school filled with hot guys? First Kiba now him." Shizuko thought looking away.
"Hi I'm Naruto Uzumaki" Naruto yelled from the desk, smiling.
"Erm … hello I-I'm Shizuko A-Amori" Shizuko nervously said slowly lifting her head towards Naruto.
"Nice to meet you, wh…" Naruto started as Shizune cut him off.
"Here you go Naruto. This should be enough" Shizune stated giving Naruto the books.
Naruto grabbed the books and waved goodbye.
"Oh Shizuko, she will see you now" Shizune stated smiling.
Shizuko got up and walked through the door to see a blonde woman with two ponytails by the side of her, sitting at a desk reading some papers.
"Oh my, wow! Her breasts are huge!" Shizuko stated in her mind as she walked over towards the woman.
"You must be Shizuko Amori" The blonde woman said still reading the papers.
"Y-yes" Shizuko replied nervously.
"Well I'm Tsunade, the head teacher of this place" she stated with unenthusiasm in her tone still look at the papers.
'What happened to only her friends knowing her by her first name' Shizuko thought to herself sitting down in the chair in front of the desk.
"So it says here that you're from Yuga High from Hot Springs Country. So what made you come to Konoha High?" Tsunade asked looking at the papers in Shizuko's file.
"Well um… me a-and my aunt came here o-once and we both l-liked it here so w-we moved." Shizuko stuttered with nerves.
"Ok well your uniform should be at your house by today. I hope you enjoy it here" Tsunade stated with a smile on her, finally looking away from the papers. "Heres you're timetable with all the room numbers on it. For today you will only need to go to this one which is on the second floor" Tsunade pointed on the sheet.
Shizuko nodded standing up from the chair grabbing her timetable.
"Erm can I ask what's the coloured ties and ribbons about?" Shizuko asked.
"Different year groups. At the moment the freshmen as blue, juniors are yellow and seniors are red, so your ribbon should be red" Tsunade said looking down at her paper work again.
"Oh … thank you" Shizuko said bowing. She then walked out of the room.
"Bye" Shizuko said to Shizune who bowed at her when she felt. She stood just outside the waiting area looking at the sheet to see the room number.
"Room 207" Shizuko muttered under the breath.
School POV
She walked towards where she saw Kiba go and then walked up the stairs to the second floor. When she got there to the second floor there was a long hallway of class rooms. She looked on the doors until she found room 207. When Shizuko found the room she looked through the window.
"What the hell am I doing?" Shizuko asked herself. She looked though the window again to see who was in the room. The class was just chatting and the teacher was at his desk. She knocked until she saw the teacher give a signal to come in. She slid the door open and walked in and gave him a piece of paper Tsunade gave her.
"Ah you're our new student; I'm Iruka, your tutor." The tall brown haired man said with a scare across his nose. "Class … listen up" *silence* "We have new student today, introduce yourself." Iruka said smiling. Shizuko looked at Iruka and then the class with a blank expression.
"H-hello, I'm Shizuko A-Amori" Shizuko said looking up to see Kiba here, smiling at her. She turned red a little on her cheeks.
"Theres a spare seat next to Ino. Ino raise your hand" Iruka stated and pointed in her direction.
Ino was sitting at the back on the right hand side of the class. Shizuko would be sitting by the window. She walked over to Ino trying not to trip up over her feet as she was so nervous, but luckily no one was staring they all just carried on talking again. Shizuko started to relax a little, since no one was looking at her.
"Hi I'm Ino Yamanaka." She stated turning towards Shizuko. Ino had really long blonde hair but it was tied up in a ponytail. A long piece of her fringe was covering her right eye.
"HEY AGAIN" a familiar voice yelped.
"Naruto?" Shizuko questioned turning towards the front. Naruto was leaning on her desk with both hands, smiling.
"Wow you remembered my na…" Naruto started to say before being cut as someone hit him.
"Do you really have to scream at her?" a girl with short pink hair said. Shizuko giggled. "Hi I'm Sakura Haruno." She added pushing Naruto off the desk.
"Let me introduce you to everyone" Ino stated smiling.
"Right the girls, that's Hinata Hyuga, she a bit shy" Ino said and pointing left at a girl with long dark violet/black hair, pushing her fingers together.
"Tenten Yuuko, she's a bit of a tomboy" Ino pointed at a girl with light brown hair, tide up into a bun. Tenten was sitting in the middle row by a wall on the opposite side.
"And finally Temari Sabaku" pointing to a blonde girl with 4 spiky ponytail. Temari was on the back row behind Tenten.
'They all look so pretty and nice' Shizuko stated in her mind.
"Now for the guys" Sakura said as Shizuko turned around.
"You already know Naruto" she said directly, who was sitting in front of Ino. Naruto turned around and had a huge grin on his face. "Next to Ino is Sasuke Uchiha" Sakura said in a flirtatious way while staring at a guy with dark blue hair. He just sat there with his eye shut and his hands together up towards his face.
"Then we have Shikamaru Nara" Sakura pointed to the one who was a sleep. He had brown hair which was pulled back into a high ponytail. He sat at the front, in-front of Naruto.
"Next to Shikamaru is Sai Kiba" Sakura pointed. Sai had longish black hair.
'Kiba? I've heard that name before' Shizuko stated looking at Sai.
"In front of you is Neji Hyuga, Hinata's cousin" Sakura stated pointing to the guy with a middle parting long brown hair, tide loosely at the end.
"and finally K…" Sakura said being cut off by Kiba.
"We've already met" Kiba stated walking over and smiling at Shizuko.
"You know, you're going to freak her out if you keep smiling at her" Temari joked.
"Shut up Temari!" Kiba said.
Everyone started laughing, including Shizuko.
"How did you meet?" Ino asked Kiba.
"Ito pushed her over by the main doors and didn't help her up. So I through I would help" Kiba stated smiling.
"Or was it because you thought she was cute" Sakura said nudging Kiba with her elbow.
Kiba stool up straight and started to turn red. They all started to laugh at Kiba's embarrassment.
End of Day
'Rinnng, Rinng'
"YESSS! HO…" Naruto started to say.
"QUITE NARUTO" Sakura shouted while hitting him over the head.
"A-are y-you ok N-Naruto?" Hinata asked.
Naruto just moaned, while Hinata sat next to him worried.
"Come on Hinata. We have to go" Neji said walking out the class room door, with Hinata following behind.
There were a lot of people in this school. So much that it was hard to move around the corridors. Since Kiba and everyone had been here for a long time they know all the ins and outs of the school, so they didn't get court up in the crowd. Everyone was walking in front of Shizuko and Kiba. Once outside away from the whole school, Shikamaru, Sai, Ino, Sasuke and Sakura walked left of the school gates and Neji, Hinata, Tenten, Temari and Naruto walked right of the gates.
"Hey Shizuko what way do you walk?" Kiba asked walking next to her.
"Erm I don't know. I've only lived here for a week so I don't really know my way around at the moment." Shizuko said with embarrassment in her voice.
Kiba chuckled "Hey that's ok. You don't have to feel embarrassed. I'm pretty sure all of us could show you around" he stated with a huge grin on his face.
Shizuko smiled and both Shizuko and Kiba started laughing. The rest of them turned around to see why Kiba and Shizuko were laughing. They all were confused.
'Beep, beeep'
"Oh … I … have to go now … that's my Aunt" Shizuko said. "… and thanks for today … I didn't expect this" Shizuko said standing at the gates.
Shizuko waved and slid into the black sports car and drove off.
"It's nice to see someone new around here" Temari said.
"Yeah" Kiba agreed looking at the black car drive down the road.
