Twelve year old Kushina had an pout look on her bruised up face, with a band-aid under her left cheek, face as the instructor was yelling at her again.
"Kushina Uzamaki you shouldn't be getting in fights with the boys..."
But she wasn't listen to him instead she was slightly glaring at the two boys who she had gotten in a fight with in the first place the two boys where snickering at her, they were the ones that started it. The two boys were insulting her, teasing her about her hair and her lack at making a decent clone, she couldn't take it.
"Kushina are you listening?" the instructor yelled.
She looked at him and hollers,"Yes I am!"
"And another thing."
"What now?' she asked herself annoyed, she really wanted to get back at the two boys.
"Your appearance is very ragged, you need to take more pride in it..."
At that moment she heard laughter of some of the other students who were listening in on the lecture laughing, her heart felt that it would shatter.
"I mean your hair its always ragged, and in knots, your clothes are stained..."
"Someone..." she screamed inside of herself as she tried not to cry she didn't want them to she her cry, the tough Kushina crying, it would be a laugh.
"..or ripped up!"
"Even smell at times." one of the two whispered to a girl who was giggling.
As the teacher kept on yelling at her, and the boys insulting her, she kept yelling to herself as tears were about to be released,"Someone please, just save me!"
"Teacher you know the real people you should be getting onto is those two over there.
"Huh?"
Kushina looked look at the person who spoke up, a blond spiky headed, gentle blue-eyed boy with a serious look on his face.
"Minato..." she whispered.
"The reason why is because they keep bulling her, and they bully other kids." said Minato.
Both of the boys glared at Minato whispering,"Damn you Minato."
The teacher looked at them, then Minato says,"I mean one person, who is a girl, bulling two boys I mean think about it."
The teacher looks embarrassed and then looks quickly at the two boys who were trying to sneak away.
"Get your butts over here you wusses!"
"But Dad..."
"Don't even Dad me Rikuto, wait till I tell your mother." the teacher said going red.
"Don't tell Mom!" Rikotu cried.
The other boy started to laugh, and say,"You really are a mama's boy!"
The teacher glared at the of boy saying,"You think your getting off that easy either Kuro?"
Kuro's face went white and whispered,"Oh crap."
As the teacher kept on yelling at the two boys Kushina looked over at Minato who was looking at them then looks at her and gives her a big smile and at that moment Kushina went red.
The next day...
"Wait up!" Kushina hollered as she ran up behind Minato, who stared at her for a moment then says with a big smile,"Good morning Kushina."
Kushina stares for a moment blushing then shakes her head and says," You said you had something you wanted to talk to me about yesterday, well what is it?"
"You know you look cute this morning."
She goes red and hollers,"You can't trick me like that, now tell me!"
Minato looks at her and goes up to her saying,"But you would look cuter if..." at that moment Kushina was blushing and big eyed as Minato leans up to her brushing her cheeks and placing a clip in her hair,"Now you even cuter, now maybe the other girls will come up to you."
Kushina still stared at him about to cry as he walked away with a smile, then she hollers with rosen red cheeks and tears."Thank-you Minato!"
He turns and looks at her with a smile saying nothing then turns back around and walks into school area.
"Someone does care about me..." she says with a smile as she wipes her tears away and runs into the school area as well knowing that better days would finally happen.
The End
