Mad love, Ninjy
"Asa! It is time to wake up and embrace your youth! Today is the first day of school! Are you not excited?" Rock asks me. I open one eye slightly, and see him balancing on my bedpost on his hand, his legs straight in the air. I take in his long-sleeved dark green shirt and green sweat pants.
"…Rock, I'm sixteen. I'll embrace my youth tomorrow, okay? And how do you do that?" I groan, turning onto my side facing away from him.
"I would prefer to be called 'Lee', if it is alright with you, sister. And I learned balance in Karate back at the orphanage! Perhaps you should join." He says, flipping onto the floor. I sigh, and then sit up in bed. He's always so energetic…and he's always talking so properly. 'I would prefer…if it is alright…perhaps…' I dunno where he got it.
"Okay, Lee." I say. "it just feels weird calling you by our last name. And no, thank you."
He smiles at me as he cartwheels out of my room. Yeah, I could do that if I felt like it. But I never have, and I never will. So there you go. I get up and get dressed in a green short sleeved shirt and olive pants. I really wish Guy and Rock, oh, Lee, would let me buy something that isn't green. But nope, that's the only color allowed in this house clothing-wise. I hear Guy whistling as he cooks breakfast.
"Asa! You said you'd meet those pen-pals of yours at seven-thirty! It's already six! Come down and eat breakfast." Guy shouts. I step heavily down the stairs and into the kitchen. I see him at the stove, cooking eggs in an outfit that looks almost exactly like my brother's, only he's wearing olive green denim pants instead of sweats.
"I doubt they're even up now, Guy." I say quietly and annoyed. He looks at me, a tear stream running down his face.
"What?"
"Why won't you call me Daddy? Lee's already started to call me Father, isn't that right, Son?" he turns to Lee, who's stuffing his face with eggs, then quickly swallows.
"Right, Father!" he says. Both of them get wide-eyed, and they run and hug each other, sobbing.
"Well, I mean, we just moved in with you about three months ago. I'm sure I'll be calling you…"
"Daddy."
"Yeah. Daddy, before ya know it." I say, mostly to just stop him from crying. Who knows, maybe I will think of him as a dad sometime. Heck, Lee and I already look like him. My brother and I were in that orphanage ever since I was six. We were sent there after our parent's…well, we're not sure what happened to them. But we never saw them much anyways, so it wasn't too different. One day, a man with a bowl-cut and large eyebrows came in wanting some teenagers to "share his youth" with. He saw that Lee and I already looked like we could be related…and here we are.
~After breakfast~
"So, you two run off to school, and I'll see you in Gym today!" he shouts, pushing us out the door. Getting adopted by the gym teacher…oh boy.
"Asa, let us jog to school!" Lee says, starting to leave. I run, but only because I don't want to be left behind. It's not that I'm lazy, really. I'm just not as enthusiastic about exercise.
"Ugh, it's only six forty-five. And the school is only about three blocks away! And school doesn't start until eight. So, is running really necessary?" I ask. He just grins at me and keeps jogging, so I do too.
"A jog is a great way to start the day! Besides, it's our first day at our new school. And I thought you're going to meet those pen-pals, Kaiya and Mai?"
"Well, yeah. At seven-thirty, in the park by the school." I tell him. Kaiya Hyuuga and Mai Yamanaka. I've been e-mailing them for over a year, and we're already pretty close. I already know who to trust and who to avoid at school thanks to them. Actually, it's because of them that we're going to this school. There are a few schools in our area, and Guy let us choose which one we'd go to, so I automatically said the same one that Kaiya and Mai go to. Konoha High.
"I cannot wait to be part of the Karate Club! Father is the sponsor, you know."
"Oh, yeah. What's the team's name again? Samurai, warriors…"
"We are the Konoha Ninjas!" he replies, punching the air.
"Right…but this town isn't called Konoha, is it? So why is that our school name?" We live in Kiha. As far as I know, there isn't a town called Konoha at all.
"I do not know. But that is not the point! Ah, here we are. Konoha High School."
"Yeah…hey, is that…I think that's them! They're early." I say, looking at my cell phone clock. Seven fifteen.
"Perhaps they were anxious to meet you." He says, then puts his hand on my shoulder.
"I will see you later, okay? And please, come find me if you need me." He smiles.
"Okay. Thanks, Lee." I say, smiling back, and then jog up to where two now-squealing girls are waiting by some swings.
"OMC, I can't believe you're finally here! So, you know who we are, right?" says the girl with waist-length brown hair and pink eyes, as they both rush to over to meet me, and we hug. The brown-haired girl's wearing jean capris, white flip flops, and a black form-fitting v-neck tee with a pink undershirt. She also has a necklace on a black chain. The charm is a red cloud with a diamond in the middle.
"Of course! You're Kaiya, and you're Mai." I say, looking at her, then at the other girl, who has magenta waist length hair, and eyes that are pretty much the same color. She's wearing tan shorts and an olive-green shirt with brown sandals.
"Aw, where's your brother? We wanted to meet him, too." Mai tells me.
"Oh, he went to see about joining the Karate club. He's really excited about it." I say. They both grin.
"That's cool! Have you thought about what club you might be interested in?"
"Well, I'm not sure yet." I say, looking at the sky in thought. Kaiya and Mai each take one of my hands and lead me to the school.
"So, where's Itachi? I want to see this boyfriend you're so crazy about." I comment, turning to Kaiya. She blushes as she pulls me across the grounds and into the school.
"Here, you'll see him in a sec! And then we'll show you Shikamaru, Mai's soon-to-be boyfriend." She grins, looking over at her. Mai ducks her head, looking embarrassed.
"Oh, right! I remember you saying you like him." I say quietly, as the hallways start to fill.
"Yeah. So hey, I heard your…uh…" Mai starts. I'm pretty sure she's referring to Guy, so I finish for her.
"Yeah, Guy is going to be the new gym teacher." I tell her. She smiles at me.
"Cool. Is he tough?"
"Well, he's really into running, so we'll probably be doing that a lot." I sigh. Both girls groan.
"Hey, you're new here, right?" says a rough voice behind me. I turn around to see a boy not much taller than me, with spiky blonde hair and bright blue eyes.
"Uh, yeah. I'm Asa Lee." I say, holding my hand out without looking, still looking in his eyes. He looks amused as he shakes my hand.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I met your brother, Rock Lee. We're gonna be in Karate together." He says smiling.
"Oh, that's cool. Uh…what's up?" I ask, noticing that he's looking at my forehead.
"Sorry, it's just…your brother has really bushy eyebrows, but you don't." he says, looking confused. I smirk to hide my slight annoyance. Why is it that whenever someone finds out I'm related to Lee, they expect me to have big eyebrows? Ugh.
"Yeah, he's pretty proud of his eyebrows. I've never really had a problem with his or mine." I smile. He grins at me, and then turns to Kaiya and Mai.
"So she's going to be in our class, you said?" They both nod.
"Yup, she just has to check in with the Guidance Counselor." Kaiya says, implying something to Naruto. Mai chuckles.
"Yeah. Here, I'll take you." He says. The girls glare at him.
"Hey! We just got to meet her! You can't just take her." Mai complains.
"Relax! You'll see her later." He smiles, gently pushing my back as he starts to walk down the hall. I turn back to the girls, who still look upset.
"Hey, I'll see you guys in class, okay?" I say with a small smile. They both brighten as they nod.
"So, how long have you been in town?" he asks, looking at me.
"About three months now."
"Where at?"
"Might Guy's house."
"You live there? Man, I said your brother has big brows, but Guy's are practically alive, they're so big." He laughs. I feel a crooked smile on my face.
"Maybe, but he's really nice." I say politely, defending him. Naruto looks at me with a guilty look on his face.
"Oh, uh…hey, I didn't mean…"
"It's fine. He can be a little…different. But he's been good to my brother and me." I explain. He nods his head, then stops walking and looks into the window of a door. He knocks quietly, then pushes the handle down and walks in.
"Ah, Naruto. And who's this?" the Counselor asks, turning in his chair and standing. Wow, he looks…
"She's the new student. Asa Lee." Naruto explains. He looks…
Just like Naruto.
"Asa, this is my dad, Minato Uzumaki."
Alright, well. That's it! I hope you liked it! I'd love to see some reviews :)
P.S: I know the Fourth Hokage's last name isn't Uzumaki, but it felt right to me.
