"Wait up, Sasuke-kun!" said Ino. She ran and tried to reach him, but she's too late. A pink haired girl took his right arm and said, "Trying to steal him again from me, Ino-pig? You better give up, because I'll never let you to have him."

Ino pouted. "Oh, you again. Why you always show up around Sasuke?"

The pink haired smiled. "Because he is mine, you idiot. He will always be mine."

The next day, when Ino was walking to school, someone ran into her. She lost her balance and fell. "Ouch, sorry," said the boy. He lent his right hand to help her stand up. She reached his and stood. "Thanks."

"Are you ok?" he asked. Ino nodded. "I'm alright."

They began to walk side to side. "Where are you going, if I may ask?" asked Ino.

"School."

"Oh, me too. I'm going to Konoha High School."

"Oh?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. We're going to the same school, then."

"Really? Are you new?"

The boy nodded. "Yes, I am."

Ino smiled. "Where are you from?" The boy frowned. Actually, he is not a ninja. He is an evil creature who came to destroy one thing, the Ball of Light. The ball has a very strong power, and it will destroy the dark creatures. The dark master asked him to destroy the ball, so the dark creatures won't disappear. That ball was hidden in the Konoha village, and he need to find it. He can't say to the girl that he came to destroy the ball, can he? But what should he say to her?

"Uhh, none of your business." He answered coldly. Ino began confused of his sudden mood swing. They walked side to side silently.

"I'm Ino, by the way," said Ino to the boy.

"Noel." Said the boy.

"What?"

"Noel,"

"Only Noel?"

The boy frowned. "Noel Shibasaki."

Ino's eyes widened. "I think I do know you."

"Huh?"

"You are my best friend when we're small."

Suddenly he remembered. He remembered everything that happened to him.

Flash back

"Noel, wait up!"

"No, please don't chase after me again!" cried the boy

She ran into him and knock him down. "I got you again, Noel!" the blond laughed. Suddenly the boy put an insect on the girl's hair. "Aaaah!" screamed the girl. "Noel, you naughty boy!"

….

A few days later, on the night, they went to the park together. They watched the night sky, the stars. "Ino..." said the boy. The girl looked at the boy. "Yes, Noel?"

"I will always protect you and I will die for you if it needed. I promise."

Ino smiled to him. "I knew you will protect me, Noel. You are my best friend."

. - . - .

"Goodbye, Noel. I don't want to go, but I have to," said Ino. The boy watched the girl went to another place to be a ninja.

A few days later, he met a big scary boy. He put a knife in front of the boy's neck and said, "Die or Follow me." Noel was very scared, and he followed the boy into a hole on the wall. When he entered the hole, his head was really hurt. The only thing he remembered when he woke was that he is an evil creature and his weapon is his eye, which has the Devil's Eye.

End of Flashback

He is not an evil creature from the beginning. He'd been a normal person before. He will learn everything from the beginning again and be a normal person again, he promised himself.

"Do you remember Noel?" asked Ino. The boy nodded. "I do."

-/-

"Who is he?"

"Wow, he looks good."

The girls in the class began to gossip around when they saw Ino walked in with Noel.

"Ino!" called Sakura. "Ino-pig! Come here!"

"I will be back," whispered Ino to Noel. Noel nodded and took a seat. Ino ran to Sakura.

"What is it Sakura-chan?"

"Who is that boy?"

Ino turn to where she's pointed to. "Oh, him? He is Noel Shibasaki. He is my childhood friend."

"Oh. Where is he from?"

"Umm, London. But his dad is from Japan."

"Wow, that's... nice."

The bell rang. Ino ran to her seat, which is next to Noel. Kurenai-sensei entered the class. "Good morning kids. Today we get a new friend. Can you please come here, boy?" she looked at Noel. Noel stood up and walked to the front of the class.

"He is Noel Shibasaki. Please be nice to him." Said Kurenai-sensei.

...

It was break time. A lot of girls started to flirt Noel, but he wasn't seem interested with those girls and walked away.

"Noel! Noel, over here!" shout Ino. Noel turned and look at her. He immediately went to her table and sit next to her. Suddenly a dark haired girl came to their table.

"Oh, Hinata-chan. Come here, sit with us." Said Ino. The dark haired girl smiled and sit on the other side of the table.

"She is Hyuga Hinata, my friend," said Ino to Noel. He nodded. "Hi, I'm Noel."

Hinata smiled to him and said, "Nice to meet you."

"Yeah, same here," replied Noel.

They ate silently until Sakura came. "Hey Ino-pig, Hinata-chan, Noel-san," she said.

"Shibasaki."

"Huh?"

"Don't call me Noel. Call me Shibasaki."

"Oh, okay. But why?" the pink haired girl asked curiously.

"I don't know. I just feel like it. It's an exception, only for you."

"Excuse me? Exception? You mean the others can call you Noel?"

Noel nodded. "Yes, that's right. The others can call me Noel, but you must call me Shibasaki."

"Why I must call you by your family name?"

"Oh, what, you don't like it? You can call me 'Your Highness' if you want to, you know." He said. The pink haired began to blush. "And why I must call you 'Your Highness'?" she asked.

Noel laughed under his breath. "Oh, stop complaining. Just do what I said."

Sakura stared at Ino. "I think I have to talk to you privately Ino," she said. Ino nodded and stood up. "I'll be back. Be nice to Hinata," she said. With that, she left Noel and Hinata alone.

…

"Why is he so rude?" ask Sakura. "Well, he's not rude to me. I don't know, maybe he changed? You know, everyone changed." Replied Ino. Sakura pouted. Suddenly Kakashi-sensei entered the room.

"Attention please!" he shouted. "The dark creatures are coming to our village. We need you to fight with us. Don't let them steal the Ball of Light!"

Noel's eyes widened when he heard this. 'Man, what are they doing? They already sent me, no need to attack the village. Oh shit, what I supposed to do?' he thought.

"Noel!" said Ino nearly scream. "Come with me!"

Noel ran and followed Ino into the school's cellar. Ino knocked a door. "It's Yamanaka Ino! The dark creatures are attacking the village! We need to take the ball to the other place!" she said with a trembling voice. The door opened suddenly. They walked in.

Noel's body suddenly jerked up. It's the Ball of Light, waited in front of him. Before he reached it, Ino touched the ball. The ball shined and disappeared. "Where did it go?" ask Noel.

"It's inside of me. If they want to steal the ball, they must kill me first." Replied Ino.

"What? They need to... kill you? Why?"

"Because if you already put it inside your body, there's no way to take it out but kill the person."

"But why you must put it inside your body? Why not the others? I mean, the stronger one?"

Ino shook her head. "If you put it inside the strong one, the dark creatures will run after you. But they won't predict that the weaker one will take it. That's why."

Noel stared at Ino blankly. "Well, what do we have to do now?"

Ino sighed. "We have to run away from them."
