Yeah, this IS MY story. I originally posted it on Quizilla, but I figured I may as well try it on here as well. Um yeah... I'm Silentsnowowl on... Quizilla and feel free to talk to me over there. But y'all can call me Kaela. (C) Masashi Kishimoto TV Tokyo Viz Media

Story Start:

Great. JUST GREAT! Stupid school! Always the reason I suffer! Don't you agree? I mean COME ON! I don't even get to say the whole 'Five more minutes mom!' thing! Know why? Because I've already reset my alarm twice this morning! Dmn it...

"TERESA ANNALISE TORUKO!" Oh crap! Not her! I swear... the world is out to get me. At least on Mondays anyway.

I flipped onto my stomach and covered the backside of my head with my second pillow. Yes, of course I know its not going to work! But its worth a shot.

"Teresa! I swear I have to do this every morning! I mean I already have to work all day, but now I have to deal with you! Are you listening?! GET UP! IF YOUR LATE YOU'LL BE IN DEEP TROUBLE! And... I'll tell Anko."

With this I shot up. Not my oh-so-childish sensei!

"I'm up! I'm up!" my sister laughed. Man...talk about annoying. Plus! You'll never get this, but apparently the 'elders' in Konoha and other places decided, 'Hey! Why not try to be more normal and switch things up! Let's make all the ninja go to a boarding school and learn math and other subjects that'll bore them to death! That's a perfect idea!' Idiots.

So today is the first day of this so called 'boarding school'. And I'm not excited. I have to live there throughout the week, and come back here for weekends. If I want. Either way its a living hll. I mean the bakas there, and my sister here.

"Now, since you don't have much time left, I'm hoping your all packed?"

"Yes! Geez! I'm packed and everything Emily! Now please leave me sleep!" I groaned.

"You're not going back to sleep! You have a half an hour to get ready and eat before you leave! NOW MOVE!" I never did know my sister was so forceful. Well.. until now, when she dumped /freezing/ cold water on me! Talk about inhumane.

I jumped up. Emily walked out laughing her head off. Whatever. I walked over to the bathroom and did my daily routines, brush hair, brush teeth, shower, get dressed and all that jazz. Once I was sufficiently ready I headed downstairs to breakfast. My dad was currently on a mission, so he was absent, leaving only my mother, sister and I.

"Oh Teresa I'm going to miss you!" my mother said, clinging to me as soon as she saw me. My mom and I look alike. Same color hair and eyes, mainly the same face porportions too. We both have grey-ish blue eyes, that are sometimes green in the light. We also have brunette hair. Her's is cut short, only a little past her ears in a really cute style. Mine is longer, about half way down my back. I also have some honey blonde highlights, and some natural ones. My moms are just natural. Emily, my older sister by 3 years, has green eyes, blonde hair, and slightly red highlights. We still can't figure out where she got them. My whole family is a little taller than average, Emily and my mom rising to about the same height, a steady 5'7'', and I'm shortest at 5'5''.

After I finished my breakfast of pancakes Emily helped me get all my bags rounded up. It really wasn't much, a bag for clothes and a backpack for school stuff.

"I'll see you this weekend Teresa! Good luck!" My mom called. She's such a sweety. And really young too! She's only 36! Emily and I hugged before I set out on my 'journey'.

'K I'm exaggerating.

It was actually just a ten minute walk to school. Wait, no excuse me, 'boarding' school. Either way I had to walk with a bag on my back, and a second heavier one in my hand. Can't you tell how excited I am? Nope. Neither can I.

There's one good part to this though. I get to be with my friends for a week! One little point that I forgot to tell you.

Remember when I said 'elders'? Yeah.. not only Konoha's elders, but those of the Sand, Sound, and Akatsuki. I don't understand either. When I asked my sensei, Anko, she said something about the leaders wanting to have the ninja's be friends and crap like that. The main thing she told me was, ignor Orochimaru at ALL costs. Since the whole 'erasing memory and curse mark' thing with her she fears for my safety. People think that she's crazy, she is, but also really sweet and protective. Like a second mother. We also hang out a lot when we're not training.

Anyway back to waht I was saying. Since Anko had previously been a student of Orochimaru she knew a lot of his jutsu, which she taught me. Everyone, everyone being the Hokage, Shizune, Anko and a few other people, figured it'd be best if Orochimaru didn't know I was the student of Anko. I don't know much about him, only that he killed the former Hokage and was very inhumane to Anko, but apparently he's not one you want to mess with.

I was jolted out of my thoughts when someone ran into me. I could've ran into someone but who knows, I wasn't paying attention.

"Oh.. man that hurt!" I complained. "Sorry!" I said to whoever it was.

"No problem! We weren't paying attention either!"

"Yeah.. sorry I guess."

I smiled, looking up at my old friends. Choji and Shikamaru. Apparently I'd run into Choji, luckily though he didn't fall.

"Its alright my bad! I'm like.. so out of it because of this whole school thing." I grinned. They both had bags in their hands, Choji with what looked like food as well.

"Yeah I know what you mean! This is gonna be a pain, but what can we do!" Choji said as we began walking again. The three of us walked and talked until we could see the school. Then we stopped at the gate, which, of course, wasn't opened. A whole bunch of people were there, and you could tell they weren't all from Konoha.

Shika started walking over to where Kiba, Shino, Ino and everyone were. They were all talking, glancing around nervously.

"This isn't going to work. I hate to disagree with the Elders, but I have a bad feeling," Shino was saying in a quiet voice to the group.

"WELL I THINK WE'LL BE FINE! We're ninja right?" Naruto shouted, getting us strange glances from some other people.

"Naruto calm down you baka! We don't want to anger someone form the Sound!" Sakura warned, clamping her hand over Naruto' mouth. (ME: Okay, I know I'm usually all blech with Sakura and Ino because of their fangirlness but I'm giving them a chance because they get better once he's gone. SORRY if you don't like the way I'm doing things!)

"Or worse! The Akatsuki!" Ino whispered, walking over to stand inbetween Shikamaru and Choji. Everyone nodded and Naruto was quiet, mad that he was outsmarted by girls.

"Hey you guys! Look!" Kiba shouted, and we all turned to look inside the gates, where a large crowd was coming toward us. Everyone crowded around the gate, watching the people come toward us.

"Wait a minute... those are the teachers!" Tenten said to me quietly. I nodded, seeing a bunch of the Jonin, Special Jonin, and Chunin from every (well not every, but every village that was participating, including Pein from the Akatsuki) coming toward us.

"Alright everyone listen up!" Lady Tsunade called. It was sort of obvious she was the principle. The leaf village was the major part of the student body, with the small bit of Sound and Akatsuki. Only Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari were there from the Sand.

Apparently no one was listening and Tsunade was getting mad.

"HEY MAGGOTS! LISTEN UP! YOUR NEW PRINCIPLE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!!" Haha suckers. No one knows as well as me that Anko has a loud yell, and plugging your ears is always good when she takes a big breath. After that though, everyone was listening.

"Thanks Anko," Tsunade said, and Anko grinned. "Anyway! Today is the first day of... this... school. We haven't come up with a name yet so don't worry! But, all of you should've gotten a letter telling you when school started, your homeroom, your grade, and yadda yadda yadda! So, when we open the gates I want all students to go directly to your homeroom, where your teacher should give you all the other information you need! Like we were actually gonna pay extra for the weight of all that paper," she muttered the last part, but none the less opened the gates and let us all through.

"Teresa! Teresa!" I heared my name called and looked over to Temari, who was running up to me.

"Hey Temari, what's up?" I asked as she slowed to meet my pace. We were around the middle oft he crowd heading in.

"Nothing really. I'm just so excited to see you guys! We asked Gaara and he said that he'll probably go back every weekend, and Kankuro and I may go back every other weekend. " I nodded. Temari and I have been like sisters since the Chunnin Exams.

"Cool. I'm not sure if I'll go back. It's really not that far from home," I said. We entered the large, grey bricked building. I glanced over at the map and saw the dorm buildings were about a 2 minute walk from the main school building.

"You know what'd be awesome?" Temari asked as we looked over the map to find our homerooms.

"What?"

"If I spent the weekends with you..." I laughed.

"Well duh! How awesome!" We laughed. "What homeroom do you have?" I asked Temari.

"Hm... I think it's Asuma" she said, skimming her paper. "You?"

"Uhm..." I glanced at my paper. Sht. "Erm.. I have Orochimaru," We both shuddered.

"Good luck Teres! I'll see you at lunch! Or.. some point. Later!"

"See ya Temari!" I called and turned down a different hallway. Perfect. I had to have Orochimaru, the one 'teacher' I was told to stay away from. Just my luck too.

I was almost to the room when I fetl a hand on my shoulder. I, being the complete not jumpy person I am (Note sarcasm), jumped nearly three feet into the air.

"What the-!"

"Sorry Teresa. Didn't mean to scare you," Gaara said, taking his hand away from my shoulder and putting it back by his side.

"No its my fault. Little jumpy today," I said with a smile. He nodded and we continued to walk.

"Soo... Orochimaru for homeroom?" I asked.

"Yes. At least its the two of us together. I've heard that the other kids in homeroom were hand picked sound nin. And possibly Akatsuki." he said. I nodded and we walked through the door.

The class was approximetly half full by now, with kids sitting random places. It looked like Orochimaru hadn't returned. The classroom was only a slight bit darker than in the hall, and it had 9 two person black tables, with a teachers desk, chalkboard and projection screen in the front. Sinks were places along the walls and there were windows in the back. (Note: This school is shaped like a square doughnut, with a square hole in the middle. No I'm not making this up because my school is like that.) The desks were placed in three rows of three. Gaara and I glanced at each other before taking the table in back, near the right side. It was pretty difficult manuvering on the account of us still having all our bags.

Five minutes later the bell rang and most of the kids went and sat in tables. Gaara and I stopped talking as Orochimaru came in.

"Ahh. A perfect class. Welcome to you new school," he said, in that creepy voice. "I've made a seating chart prior to class, and will announce it first. Then I will hand out all of your papers." He paused. Everyone seemed to glance at one another before we all nodded.

"Good. Now, the tables are number from left to right, then up and right to left and ect. such as that of a serpent. Table one will be Sakon and Ukon. However you two want to sit is completely fine." They nodded, separated, became two bodies, and sat.

"Table two will be Tayuya, sitting closets to Sakon and Ukon, and Teresa, sitting toward the empty, for now, table." I glanced back at Gaara before sitting down next to a girl with reddish hair, who appeared to be silently nagging Ukon. (ME: Yes, I do know that she's dead.. or disappeared. BUT IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT! I can make people come back from the dead in my stories! GOT IT? Good) We didn't really acknowledge each other, but nodded to the other.

"Table three, is Kabuto, sitting closest to Teresa, and I want Gaara sitting next to him, closest to the wall." they nodded and Kabuto moved, since Gaara was already in his seat.

This went on for the next fifteen minutes. The only thing I could remember was who all sat in the front row, and that a guy named Suigetsu sat with Sasuke behind me. Sasuke sat directly behind me, if I rememer correctly. Once everyone was finally seated, which took longer than expected for only 18 people, we were given our paperwork and we had about ten minutes to look through it before we were sent to put our stuff in our rooms and head to period one.

(Paper Number One)

Dear Miss Toruko,

Welcome to your new school! I hope you and your friends and family have a fun time and learn a lot! Now, just because this school is here doesn't mean we aren't going to stop being Ninjas! Lady Hokage, now the Principle of this school, is still our Hokage and is working twice as hard. She will still be handing out missions, so don't expect to have a lot of free time now!

Thank you sincerely,

Konoha Elders.

Hm... missions too. Lovely. Hopefully we won't have to make up work. Actually... I haven't been on a mission in a while. I pulled out the next paper, which looked like a schedule. (ME: I'm purposely not putting the schedule in here because its one of, if not the, main reason that I got messed up with the other version! So if it really bothers you then I'll message the schedule to you.) The third and last paper was a list of all the teachers for every subject, who knows why we'd need to know that, and the dorm information/ rules.

Interesting. But who's Karin? She sounds familiar... is she in my homeroom? I looked around and saw the guy next to Sasuke, Sugietsu, smirk at me. Sasuke, who I'd known before he went off to Orochimaru, had used to be a friend of mine.

"Hey Sasuke," I asked quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone from their thoughts. He looked up from his paper, an eyebrow raised at me.

"What do you want, loser?"

"I'm going to ignore that. But who's Karin?" I asked. He pointed to girl in the back left. She had red hair, darker that Tayuya's, with half of it straight and the other spiked. She also wore glasses. I nodded a thanks.

This can't be good if Sasuke knows her, and she's in Orochimarus homeroom. It appeared as if the class consisted of mostly Sound nin and Akatsuki. Conincedince? I think not.

"Alright class! You are all free to go and have 20 minutes to go to your dorms and unpack before your first period class!" Orochimaru announced, and everyone got up to leave.

As I exited I waved to Gaara, who smiled back, and turned to the girls dorm.

I swear it took me five minutes to find the dorm. Once I got there I unlocked it to enter a living room, that conected to a dining room behind it, with a smll balcony. Then through a door was a small kitchen. Opposite of the kitchen through a different door was a hallway with a bathroom and three bedrooms. One was occupied with stuff and the girl, Karin. We didn't talk, but I had the choice of either a room painted white with dark blue carpet and a lighter blue bedspread with pillows matching the carpet, with a desk and dresser, and a window looking out. The other was also white, but instead of blue it was black. I took the blue room.

When I unpacked the closet had my clothes, my desk held my laptop and school books I wouldn't need today, my special blanket and stuffed animal rabbit, and some bathroom supplies. Not very homey but it'll do.

I glanced at the clock and saw I had about 10 minutes until first period. I walked into the kitchen to find Karin there.

"Um.. hi." I said, glancing through the cuboards. Not much but a few snack items.

"Hey." she answered. With that I figured she was done so I was about to leave the dorm before she called to me.

"Hey! Teresa was it?"

"Uh-huh"

"I just wanted to say that I know we come from a whole different group and all but I figured we could maybe be friends." she said. I could tell she was uncomfertable.

"Sure... I mean I don't have any reason to not like you." Karin smiled and we left together.

"So what's your first class?" I asked as we walked back to the main building.

"Huh? Oh I think its English. What about you?"

"I've got Spanish with Genma." she nodded and we took off on different hallways.

Spanish, here I come!

Yup! There was the first chapter.. and it feels really weird posting on here... but I'm bored so I may as well try!

Peace, Luv, and Hugs,

Kaela
