I do not own Naruto. Magume belongs to Uchiha dog. Please read and review! -AkatsukiMirage

In Ninja Academy- Classroom

It didn't make any sense. None at all. Why on earth, or Konoha, would Iruka-sensei be teaching us water jutsu in the Fire Country?! All my cheery mood suddenly vanished as the scroll I would be using for this particular 'special' lesson was dropped onto my desk. If I sucked at anything, water jutsu was it.

I couldn't resist the urge to glower at it as it lay obnoxiously in front of me. Then, something that would improve my mood filled the air. Uchiha Magume was laughing, awkwardly, but still laughing. Her twin brother was glaring at her for some unknown reason and she was ignoring it by laughing at a joke the Nara-girl had been nice enough to share.

Sasuke's gaze met mine the next moment and I stared back. He then looked ahead to the teacher, and I followed his example. Uchiha Sasuke had just caught me looking at his sister and not many people got away with that, even though I just had. Or, so I thought.

Iruka-sensei had us all line up, standing in front of a bucket full of water for this lesson. While searching for a place to stand, someone bumped into me. At first, I thought it an accident but then I heard a rush of words that resembled a threat.

"Don't think you're getting away, Motochi. You'll regret looking at my sister."

I kept my expression the same, yet turned to look and see who it had been, even though I was sure I already knew. I couldn't tell where he had gone until I was lucky enough to spot him past someone's shoulder, not more then ten feet away, just meeting up with his sister and the Nara-girl.

I growled under my breath. 'Go ahead, Uchiha,' I thought,' try me.'

Iruka-sensei clapped his hands above his head to get everyone's attention. Everyone immediately went silent and stood perfectly in line, like miniature soldiers. I, myself, stood in between Inuzuka and Haruno. Sasuke stood in between his sister and the Uzumaki.

"Okay, class, now that everyone's in position, let's get started." He stood in front his own bucket, placed in front of the class. "Ready... now." He did six hand seals, repeating two at the end and then shouted," Mizu no Kaze!"

The water reacted like wind, pulling out of the bucket and fluttering around, glimmering in the sunlight and then dropping perfectly, without a splash, into the bucket. Everyone awed at as he bowed and clapped again for everyone to focus.

"Now let's have all of you try it. Okay, the hand seals are..." he explained it twice before I had it memorized and I waited for everyone else to once again stand ready. But the Uzumaki spoke, his expression annoyed.

"Does this count as extra credit or will it affect our grade?" I heard him grumble to Iruka, who frowned in return.

"If you fail, you won't pass water jutsu, but you will be able to graduate, Naruto. Now everyone, let's try it." Everyone tried and failed at their first attempt, including myself, except one. Water fluidly danced above our heads, elegantly jumping in and out of striped sunlight that came in from the window. A few people awed but not long after one kid shouted jealously," The demon child's cheating! She's using her evil powers to bewitch the water! Iruka-sensei, she cheating!!" Iruka was still staring up at the water amazed when this was said and suddenly the water returned to the bucket right in front of Uchiha Magume, glaring down at it in an awkward silence.

Iruka coughed and turned to everyone.

"Okay, try again. Come on! Everyone."

Once again, the jutsu was repeated and everyone shouted it out as they practiced. I noticed, as I again, failed miserably, that Magume had gone back to her seat, a look of pure rage plastered on her face. She was glowering down at her feet. I looked towards Sasuke who was also looking at her and then turned back to my bucket and tried again.

It was abrupt, but I heard a splash, a curse and a whole lot of laughter fill the room. My classmates were all turned towards a hysterical Uzumaki and a drenched Uchiha.

Sasuke looked beyond furious. He came in front of the class and without warning, did the jutsu perfectly, using all the buckets and to shower the water on the Uzumaki, drenching everyone seven feet away from him.

I, unfortunately, were one of those people. I had managed to cover my head, but most of the rest of me was absolutely soaked. I mentally praised God for saving my hair. I had spent twenty minutes this morning perfecting it, secretly hoping to catch Magume's eye with my dashing good-looks.

Silence followed the sudden show of rage Sasuke had pulled off and the next moment, he was leaving the room, to the bathroom I expected, but before leaving he ran his fingers through his dripping hair, making girls left and right squeal.

I took a deep breath. Now was my chance, while he was gone. I could go and talk to Magume. Casually, while everyone one went into chaos mode, I strolled over to her and sat in the desk in front of her. Her eyes were closed but she seemed to have noticed that I was there.

Opening one eye, she looked at me and then opening both, stared at me, her expression bored yet slightly curious. I cleared my throat quietly and smiled at her.

"Hello," I began, making my voice as friendly as possible.

"Hn," she replied, switching her gaze to the practicing students behind me.

"Um, I, uh..." It just hit me that I had no idea of what I was going to say. I looked away blushing and feeling down right stupid. A small chuckle escaped her lips. She must've found my lack of speech amusing. Turning back to her, a sentence befriending me, all speech left me once again. Her smile was breath-taking and the way she tilted her head, while the wind blew the scent of tea-rose through her hair made me surprisingly dizzy. I found myself stunned and dazed all at the same time and before I could take in a breath of air, her smile widened and she playfully, if not seductively, put one slim, elegant finger under my chin and closed my gaping mouth.

"Motochi, right? If I were you," she said, her eyes sparkling with amusement," I'd get myself away from me before my brother comes over and kicks your butt."

I gasped, comprehension returning to me once I heard her words. I quickly glanced around the room, only to see Sasuke headed our way. I mentally cursed and quickly got to my feet.

"Well, uh, it was nice talking, err, I mean listening to you, Magume. Perhaps we could attempt to talk later, maybe?" I pushed a chair out of my way and to my dismay, as I pulled away, felt something catch my shoe and I soon found myself falling... right towards Magume. She seemed just as surprised as I was when she noticed me suddenly coming her way. And unfortunately, she didn't have time to move away.

Our faces collided but what was surprising was the unexpected soft, warmth against my lips. As I opened my eyes, for I had closed them, I stared in shock when I found what, or more appropriately, who I was kissing. Pulling away slowly, I could feel my face turn the same shade of red as my hair. Magume sat there, still in shock. Sasuke stood beside me, again in a heated rage, but after a look at his now red faced sister, he turned to me and grinned, laughing freely in sheer glee.

"Not bad, Motochi. Maybe you should come around more often!" he chuckled. I looked again at Magume, her face now a furious red and she was glaring tearfully at Sasuke.

"Uchiha Sasuke, it's not funny! And you," she said to me," don't come near me! I don't ever want to see you again!" She turned and began to leave the classroom, growling at Sasuke again on the way," I'm going home and telling Itachi!!"

This was ridiculous! She was nearly eight!! Quickly, I pulled myself off her desk and ran after her. Sasuke was still laughing.

"Wait, Magume, it was a-"

SLAP!

I froze, my cheek stung, Sasuke had gone silent and Magume was storming off again. Everyone who had been pulled into what had happened echoed an "Ooh, ouch."

All my hope was shattered. I looked at Sasuke who was still a little shocked.

"What now?" I asked him, my voice full of bitterness and resentment. The emotion left his face as he shrugged and left, following his sister.

I sighed. I might as well go home early. This class was almost over and it was the last one of the day.

As I went to the door and pulled it open, water splashed all over my head and shoulders, a bucket landing on my head. I cursed under my breath. Sasuke got me.

Today was living hell.
