She walked up towards the school's gate entrance but before she could reach there, a couple of girls came running up to her screaming.
"Shiina! Shiina! We were wondering if you would like to come have lunch with us?" "Yes, yes! Would you like to come?" exclaimed the two girls.
"… No thanks," stated Shiina, flatly.
Shiina walked off leaving the girls shocked. As she approached the school hall doors, students were gathering up behind her and slowly their screaming, chanting and shouting was rising louder and louder. Shiina kept walking and ignored the fans.
'Honestly… What is wrong with these people…They are such a nuisance. I wish they could just dis-'
A hand reached her shoulder and grabbed it. Shiina spun around holding a kunai, for whatever was coming for her.
"No need to kill me. I just came to tell you, the Hokage wishes to see you," stated the boy.
"Hn…" Shiina left the school building with the boy and set off for the Town Hall.
When they arrived, the Hokage looked Shiina up and down. Her hair was waist long, jet black and hung loose. Chin long bangs framed her face and a fringe covered her forehead. Her skin was as pure as snow with lips. She wore a long white coat that was unbuttoned and a black belt that was unbuckled. Behind her jacket hung two katanas in it's cases', which was slung over one shoulder. Underneath she had a white mid-riff shirt, which showed off her perfect body, with matching long skinny pants. On her right thigh, she wore the tool bag. On her feet she wore the regular ninja sandals. The Hokage was quite surprised of her appearance, for he had a different mental image of her. He then went to the boy and studied his appearance. Sasuke. He had dark raven hair, with bangs. A navy chin-high collar, short sleeve shirt and white elbow warmers, with navy on the edges. He wore white shorts and on his right thigh he wore the tool bag. His feet were cushioned by the standard ninja sandals. Both wore the Konohagakure Ninja Headband.
"Alright. I believe you are Shiina," he waved his finger at her, "and you are Sasuke."
The two nodded in sync.'Hn… This boy is Sasuke, huh? The boy whom every girl seems to talk about… I don't see what they see in him… And what's with his hair… It looks like a cockatoo…' thought Shiina. She quickly averted her gaze from Sasuke to the Hokage.
"I have called you here to put you in a special organisation. An organisation for gifted and talented ninjas. Ninjas that have excelled in stealth, speed, strategy and strength."
'Is… This old geezer going to put us in… ANBU?' thought Shiina.
"I am going to put you both in ANBU. ANBU stands for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai. Today you will look at their facilities and wear their uniform if you wish. You must still go to school and also attend ANBU, including their meetings. No matter what time. At first I will understand if you two are tired after attending two things at once. But you will get used to this routine. Iruka-sensei will take you there and someone else will guide you around the HQ. That person will also give you the requirements or tell you to get the requirements yourself. Now normally people who are in ANBU have to apply for the job. Whereas for you two, we have made an exception and have invited you to join. Good luck you two!" And with that he waved them off towards Iruka-sensei.
The couple turned on their heels and faced Iruka-sensei. But before they could take their first step, the Hokage shouted out, "Oh, I almost forgot! You two are the youngest members in ANBU history. Now off you go!" a full grin danced upon his lips.
The two children quickly faced Iruka-sensei and quickly walked with him towards the HQ.
"Alright kids," he put both of his hands and laid them on top of their heads. "Here it is. Have fun! And remember, don't put a lot of stress on yourselves," on the last word, Iruka-sensei did a full fledged grin.
Both did a nonchalant nod and walked into the building. The building that had life and death on their fingertips. The organisation that could control one's fate. Shiina couldn't help but shudder at the dark aura of the hall. Sasuke happened to notice this and muttered something incoherent. Shiina picked up on this but decided not to ask. The two walked silently towards the middle of the room and waited.
Not long after a man in full ANBU uniform appeared before them, from a puff of smoke.
"Hiya kids! Un!" came a loud greeting from the tall man.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow questioningly, 'This man… is he even qualified to be in ANBU. He seems so… annoyingly stupid.' he pushed those thoughts away from his mind and concentrated on the man.
"I'll be your guide today and I'll be showing you kids around this place and… Yep. Oh, and I'll be showing your outfits as well… plus the things you need. So follow me and stay close, we don't want our two new and cute recruits to get lost, un," he explained. "Well, let's formally introduce ourselves. Girl first, boy next and me last, un," he pointed at each person while he described one another. "Just say your name, likes, dislikes and ambitions, un."
"My name is Yuki Shiina. I like lots of things and I dislike lots of things. My ambition…I have no intention in answering," she looked at Sasuke, signalling him to go.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don't particularly like many things and I dislike many things. My dream… is not a dream, it will become real. I will kill a certain man." Sasuke seemed to narrow his eyes when he said, 'kill'.
"Alright. My name is 0316. Un."
"That can't be your name. Now tell us what your real-"
Shiina cut Sasuke's speech short and informed Sasuke, "He is an ANBU member. ANBU members cannot reveal themselves. Therefore they cannot say their name. Instead they have code names. For instance his code name is, '0316'."
"Well done, Shiina. That is absolutely correct. You two will also get code names. Anyways continuing on, I like dangos, I hate vanilla ice cream. My dream is…I don't really have a dream, un. Well…That's all for today! Why don't I treat you kids to something, un?" he asked happily.
"I thought we were supposed to look around the place and get our uniforms and things?" asked Shiina clearly losing her patience with this man.
"Nope. Not today that is. Tomorrow. Come on kids let's go! Un!" he wrapped his arms on their shoulders and pulled them outside, towards the Ramen Shop. All the way, he kept chattering on and on about how fun ANBU was and something about his best friend being a tortoise… Shiina was getting more and more irritated by the minute. Sasuke, on the other hand, was clinging onto his patience.
"We're here kids! Un!" he exclaimed.
'Thank god! I swear if I had to walk and listen to him talk for another minute, I'm going to land a hard blow on his annoying face,' thought Sasuke. The image of him hitting the taller man made a smile curl on his lips. But he pushed the murderous thoughts away and entered the shop.
'I need to calm down and relax. This man has done nothing to deserve my wrath. I must be more calm. I can't lose to Sasuke,' she assured herself. She started to wonder when she became so competitive against the raven. The anger quickly slipped away from her and she entered the shop.
'Hmm…These kids have a strong hand on their emotions. They don't let their emotions get in the way or out of their grasp. Part 1 of the test complete,' observed the man. He quickly entered the shop.
They all walked into the shop together and sat down on the nearest empty table. The man sat beside Shiina on one side and and Sasuke sat alone on the opposite side. The man slipped his hand into his pants' pocket and pulled out a small black cover book. The cover was a plain black, the edges and corners were slightly torn and rubbed smooth. The man opened the book, cautiously so no one could see what was contained inside. He took out a pen from his pocket and scribbled down something. Shiina made sure her face was facing Sasuke but her eyes looking at the man. She studied his hand movements closely. She could make out some letters and words. But not all. Shiina frowned and tried to figure out what was being written down. Eventually she gave up and just relaxed while she waited for the waitress to arrive.
Sasuke blankly stared at Shiina and the man. Trying to imagine what his face looked like underneath his masks. He wondered if he had soft and friendly features or a stiff and rigid face. He imagined the man with friendly and soft features, due to the way he spoke. He also picked up on how the man always said 'yeah' after everything he said. Was it just his accent or was it there on purpose? He forced himself to stop thinking about such petty things. What was going on with him today? Normally he wouldn't think about others unless he had to, but today was different. He didn't know why. Instead he answered himself - I'm only thinking about these people because they will be with me for quite some time and I just need some personal info. That's all.
A waitress quickly walked towards them, "I'm so sorry, today is just so busy," she bowed several times to apologise. "What would you like to order?" she asked quickly.
"I'll have some dangos, please! Un!" replied the man in his childish voice.
"A bowl of miso soup would be nice," answered Shiina blankly.
"A bowl of fresh salad, add a lot of tomatoes," responded Sasuke not looking at the waitress.
'Oh my! This boy is absolutely adorable. So cute!' The waitress blushed and her eyes turned into pink hearts. She watched Sasuke and spoke giddily.
"Of course! I'll be right back!"
Not long after she came back serving them their dishes. The dangos looked juicy and plump with the sweet sauce. The miso soup looked warm and inviting. The salad looked crispy and fresh. The ANBU slid his mask up just to reveal his mouths. The man's lips seemed more stiff and rigid. He lips were more cold and paler in colour. To Sasuke's surprise his predictions earlier were wrong. They were the complete opposite. Although Sasuke was surprised, he was sure to not express it on his face.
They all took a bite from their dishes and let the taste linger on their tongues. They savoured the taste and continued to eat their food. Shiina choked a small appreciating moan and scoffed down some more of her soup to cover up. On the other hand Sasuke noticed this and chuckled deeply in his throat.
'It's kinda cute how Shiina tries to act all tough and emotionless, when I swore I heard her moan - I couldn't help but- Wait. Did I just say 'cute'? My head is really messed up today,' Sasuke thought.
They quickly devoured their food and filled their starving stomachs. When they finished, the man pulled down his mask, covering his entire face once more. They involved themselves in a casual conversation but was quickly interrupted by the waitress. She shuffled nervously over to their table and once more blushed at Sasuke.
"Uhm…I was wondering…Would you like to pay now? If you do, it's ¥2000," she asked nervously.
"Yeah sure. Let me get my money..Un.." said the ANBU member, thrusting his hand inside his pockets and rummaging around.
Sasuke noticed earlier that the waitress took a liking to him. He really hated girls when they did that, especially fan girls. Why couldn't they understand he hated them? He showed his hatred towards them all the time. Why could they not understand? He thought, girls must be really air headed or their head must be made of concrete. Sasuke decided to use this to his advantage.
"Couldn't you make it cheaper? It's so expensive. You wouldn't want to upset me would you?" He forced his dark brown orbs to be glazed with lust. He licked his dry lips and locked eyes with the waitress.
The waitress choked and replied, "Oh, absolutely! You don't have to pay at all actually. You can go if you want!"
He smirked and they all stood up from their seats and headed for the exit.
"Oh. Wait," she quickly ran up to them and looked Sasuke in the eyes. She averted her gaze to the floor and shifted from one foot to the other. She twiddled her fingers and asked Sasuke, "Um…What is your name?"
"There is no need for you to know," he replied, annoyance tinted on his words.
"Oh. Well never mind then…I was just wondering…" she hesitated. "Will you go out with me?" she blurted.
"Hn…You're annoying." he replied and walked off.
The waitress stared at his back with wide watery eyes and watched him walk off. She turned around facing the shop once more and grinned.
'You're so cool and sexy! I'm not giving up on yet!'
Sasuke and Shiina started to head off in one direction towards their homes. The walk was a long and silent one. The warm breeze threaded their fingers in their hair. The leaves rustled calmly. The town busily went on with their jobs, buzzing with noise.
"…So where are we heading to? Un?.." the ANBU asked awkwardly.
"Home." Came the two nonchalant replies in unison.
And with that, they all separated and walked their different paths to their homes
