Chapter 1: Sasuke and Sakura; Friends or Foe!
It was a beautiful morning and every one was out and about while Aimi Mamoru was running about inside her room throwing on her clothes before coming to a stop in front of the mirror. She ran a brush through her black ankle length hair before she pulled her hair into a high ponytail. Aimi to some was a beautiful young girl from the a Clan of Crystal Kekkei Genkai Wielders, and others like those fan girls of the 'Oh So Great Sasuke Uchiha' thought she should have died with the rest of her clan because in their words she was ugly. Aimi, however, got along well with Ino Yamanaka who was a Sasuke Uchiha fan girl because the two girls knew each other since they where in diapers. The young Mamoru also got along with a young Hyuga Heiress named Hinata Hyuga and a young Hikari Heiress who goes by the name of Luna Hikari.
You might be wondering what's a Kekkei Genkai and a Clan is, right? Well, a Kekkei Genkai is a Blood Line Limit that's passed down from generation to generation within a signal clan like the Mamoru Clan for an example. As for a Clan, well, think of them as a big family of Shinobi and Kunoichi also known as Ninjas. Some Clans have special jutsus use in only their Clan like the Yamanaka with their Mind Jutsus, Nara with their Shadow Jutsus, Akimichi with their Expansion Jutsus, and Inuzuka Clans with their Dog Related Jutsus. And Finally there is the Clans with their Kekkei Genkai or Blood Line Limit and they are the Uchiha Clan with their Sharingan also known as either the Mirror Eye or the Murdering Eye and then the Hyuga Clan with their Byakugan which is known as the all Seeing Eye because of it's ability to see Chakra points and in a 360 degree angle.
(Author Note: Those that have read or seen Naruto should know this, if not stop reading and get your butt in gear and begin watching/reading the series till you get to the middle of their first official mission, and I don't mean the one with the cat.)
A pair of emerald green eyes where looking back at Aimi as she stared at her reflections before she groaned while leaning her head back to look up at the ceiling. Aimi was short for her age being only 4' 7" with out 3" heels boots, but that wasn't her only problem. The young Mamoru was also more developed then the other girls her age and Ino would always wonder how some one her height can have her slightly more developed hourglass figure, but that was it though the young Hikari Heiress had the same problem as well only she was a bit more shorter then Aimi was.
Aimi smiled before she grabbed a black one shoulder bag while she ran out of the room and into the kitchen where she picked a red apple taking a bite out of it. The young Mamoru finished the apple in recorded time before she ran out of the kitchen to the front door where she put on her black knee length 3" heel boots and then she shot of the front door. Aimi made sure that she locked the door before she jumped on the roof and then flash jump from roof to roof while running the house that where connected every now and then.
…...
With a sigh Aimi 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. The young Mamoru 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 Aimi to smile at her.
"Ohaiyo (Good Morning) Luna-chan," she greeted the young girl when she had took her set next to Aimi.
"Ohaiyo Aimi-chan," the girl greeted.
Aimi reached into her bag before she pulled out a benito wrapped up in a blue clothe that she handed over to the girl.
"I made this for you," Aimi said with a smile.
"Arigatō (Thank you), Aimi-chan," the girl thanked in a small voice.
"It's nothing, Luna-chan," Aimi told her before both girls fall quiet. Aimi let out a sigh before she went to look out the wind which lead to her letting out a gasp. "Huh? Iruka-Sensei!"
"Yes Aimi-chan?" 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!"
Aimi 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.
…...
Aimi 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, Aimi, 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." Aimi 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-kun, did you see that?" Sakura asked making Aimi to roll her eyes.
"Alright, next!" Iruka called, "Aimi Mamoru."
Aimi stepped forwarded before she made the hand sign.
"Transform!" she stated before in a puff of smoke a silver haired man reading an orange book stood in Aimi's place.
"Transformed into Hatake-san, good," Iruka approved as he wrote something down on the board. "Next up is Luna Hikari!"
Luna stepped forward as Aimi 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 another Iruka.
"Transformed into me as well," 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 Aimi. "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!"
…...
Aimi 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 Aimi Mamoru," Iruka said before he walked out of the class room with Aimi right behind him looking ready to go.
"Alright Aimi-chan," a whitish blue haired male told her when Iruka took his set, "make three clones of yourself."
Aimi 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." Aimi looked surprised when Iruka pulled out a black 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," Aimi agreed before she walked out.
…...
Aimi 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.
Luna nodded before she got up and walked out of the room for the test.
…...
Aimi picked up her brash and gently ran it through her hair before she pulled it into a ponytail after she placed it down. After she put down her brash she looked at herself in the floor length mirror in the room once more before running out of the place as she was tying her black Konohagakure forehead protector around her forehead.
…...
Aimi 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 Aimi looked at him to see his head on his arms. Aimi 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 club. They 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.
Aimi let out a sigh as she felt a headache coming on.
"Hey!" she called, "wow! Where are you going?"
Aimi saw Naruto stand up waving at Sakura who ran right up to the table out of the corner of her eyes.
"Hi Sakura-chan," Naruto greeted, "what's up?"
"Move it!" Sakura yelled at him, "uh. Good morning Sasuke-kun. 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-kun."
"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 Aimi 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.
"How does he do it?" he asked.
"I don't know Shikamaru-kun," Aimi answered, "and I really don't want to know."
Aimi let out a sigh once again as the fan girls continued to fight over the sets next to Sasuke.
'Clueless,' Aimi and Sasuke thought.
…...
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, Aimi Mamoru, and Luna Hikari," one of the people stated. "Is that them?"
"Yes, their the ones" the old man answered.
"Sasuke-kun, Aimi-chan, and Luna-chan are the only survivors of their 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.
…...
Aimi 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 watched as Aimi stood up from her set, onto the desk, and jumped to set in the set that the fan girls are fighting over. Aimi 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.
"Mamoru, that's my set!" Sakura yelled at her.
"I don't see your name on it, Haruno," Aimi told her, "so just find some where else to sit."
The fan girls started to yell at her to move it, but they all of a sudden went quiet making Aimi to open one eyeto
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-baka!" Sakura yelled, "hey! Stop glaring at Sasuke-kun!"
Naruto looked at Sakura with a pained expression, 'Sakura-chan?' 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 Aimithought 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.
Aimiwatched as the two boys pulled apart gagging with amusement clear in her eyes as a small smirk appeared just as Sakura started to freak out.
'CHA!' Inner Sakura yelled, 'this is out rages! I was suppose to be Sasuke-kun's first kiss! Naruto will pay for this! CHA!'
Aimi just continued to watch the scene next to her like a TV show while trying to hold back a laugh though a 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-baka, 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.
…...
"As usually Naruto-kun's in the middle of some kind of trouble," the old man stated.
…...
"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. Each squad will be lead by a Jonin an elite ninja."
Aimi looked at him with an annoyed expression hoping that he was kidding as everyone looked at him shocked.
"Huh?"
'A 3 man squad?' both Sakura and Ino thought.
"Well someone's got to be in Sasuke-kun's group," Ino whispered as Aimi to rolled her eyes, "I wonder who?"
"I don't Know," Sakura answered.
'CHA!' Inner Sakura yelled, 'I'm going to be with Sasuke-kun, so stay away from him you hag!'
'Groups of 3,' Sasuke thought, 'that'll only slow me down.'
'I want to be with Sakura-chan and…Well, I don't care as long as it's not Sasuke," Naruto thought.
'As I'm not annoyed then I'm cool,' Aimithought.
"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." Aimi tuned out Iruka as he stared to read out teams 1-6. "Squad 7..." Aimi then tuned in again to see if her name was going to be called. "Naruto Uzumaki, Aimi Mamoru…" Naruto looked upset that he wasn't on the same team as Sakura while the pink haired girl along with Ino was all happy. "And Sasuke Uchiha…" Naruto banged his head on the desk. "Next squad 8..." Aimi looked over at Naruto who was pouting. "Hinata Hyuga…"
"Yes, sire," a shy/tamed voice called out.
"Kiba Inuzuka…"
"Haha," a boy laughed.
"Shino Aburame…"
Sakura and Ino had hanged their heads in shame.
"It's not fair," Ino groaned, "but at least it's not you on his team."
"Actually it should be me," Sakura told her, "not you or Mamoru."
Aimiwatched on in amusement as Ino growled at Sakura.
"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-chan," Aimi 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 at Aimi 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…"
"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, "Sakura Haruno."
"I want to be with Sasuke-kun."
"Luna Hikari."
"Great I'm stuck with pinky."
"And Kuro Neko."
"Oh man."
"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?"
"And what about Mamoru, Sensei?" Sakura asked, "how come she's on Sasuke-kun's team when she's lazy and doesn't do anything and she's late most of the time."
"Sasuke had one of the best scores out of all the gradating students," Iruka answered, "Naruto-kun, you had the worst score. Sakura, I didn't choice the teams, but I had to agree to them, however, I think it'll be a good thing for Naruto." The whole class besides Sasuke, Aimi, and Luna laughed at Naruto though Sakura looked at Aimi with a glare, but Aimi just looked at her with an indifferent look. "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 Aimi rolled her eyes.
"Knock it off Naruto-baka," 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."
Aimi got up out of her set and left heading to go find a place to eat.
…...
Aimisat 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. Aimi 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-chan, your forehead is so wide and charming..."
"Huh?"
"It makes me what to kiss it," 'Sasuke' finished.
'WHAT THE HELL!?' Aimi thought in surprise, 'THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S UCHIHA-SAN!'
"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-kun?' Aimi thought, 'there's no way Uchiha-san well talk to Haruno 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-kun, that's all."
"You just want me to except you?" 'Sasuke' asked.
'Ok, that's it,' Aimi thought, 'I think I'm going to threw up!'
"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 Aimi with a scowl, 'there's no way Uchiha-san would let Haruno get anywhere near him without a choice.'
'I finally know why I like Sakura-chan 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 Aimi 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-kun was so shy," Sakura told herself. "maybe he just needs a little more time to get ready."
'Yeah, right,' Aimi thought as she rolled her eyes, 'if I know Uchiha-san like I think I do then I'll just wait for the real him to show up.'
Aimi didn't have to wait for Sasuke come walking up the path.
"Sasuke-kun, your back!" Sakura cheered, "don't be so shy you bad boy." Aimi face palm at this while Sasuke just ignored her. "Are ready now? You know, mentally ready because I am." Aimi jumped down from the tree and walked out of hiding. "I'm roaring to go." Sasuke just walked right past her with Aimi 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 Aimi'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." Aimi 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," Aimi told her, "don't talk about Naruto-kun like you know him." Sasuke and Sakura looked at her before her eyes turned into slits and she glared at Sakura. "When you insult Naruto-kun, your insulting everyone who had to grew up without their parents and that includes Sasuke-teme and me."
Aimi 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 Aimi walked off.
…...
Sasuke and Aimi 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-kun,' Aimi thought as she looked back and forth between them, 'I'm so good.'
"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 Uchiha-san 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 Aimi as he turned around and started to walk away.
Aimi looked at Naruto before she turned and followed Sasuke.
