This is my Sasuke series, even though I don't like Sasuke...

I refuse to put a disclaimer here cause everyone should be bright enough to know that I don't own Naruto. I'm pretty sure that's why this is called FANfiction.

├Part One┤

It was a nice cool summer afternoon. The sun wasn't burning but was just the right temperature. Soft, comforting breezes flit through the air and making its way through the tree branches. A few white fluffy clouds were flowing serenely through the picture perfect blue sky. I guess to sum it all up, it was a perfect summer afternoon.

It was sadly the last, which sort of made the feeling turn sour instead of sweet when I thought about it. I would be returning to school the next day after a nice relaxing summer break. Luckily for me, it would my last year at the Academy.

My birthday would also be coming up soon, September 20th although I wouldn't be looking forward to it. I never did like my birthdays. I'd be turning twelve this year so I'd be leaving the Academy at the appropriate age.

As I lay there thinking about how school would be, a bird flew quick and noiselessly through the air above me. I wished I were like that bird, able to be free of worries and troubling thoughts and most of all: responsibility. Well unless it had a nest somewhere, of course.

My thoughts turned back to school again. I had no friends but that didn't mean people just didn't like me. Quite the opposite, actually. I generally stayed away from people but if it involved a group project, I did my share. That's all I can really say about that.

There were plenty of people I could probably get along with but friendships weren't part of my priority at the moment. I just had to pass with good marks and train myself more and more.

I had a lot of enemies as well, in a sense. Nobody really disliked me because I remained silent during classes. But there were people I hated just because of their attitudes and the way they treat others. I suppose you could call me a pretty observant person.

I almost dozed off when someone's face blocked my view of the peaceful sky.

"What'cha doing out here, Miya?" Naruto's loud voice asked, shattering the silence.

I sort of smiled under my mask and looked up at him before sitting up, which caused him to step back a bit.

"Well I was enjoying the afternoon," I answered truthfully, "And what are you doing out here Naruto Uzumaki?" I asked.

He smiled and said, "Wondering what you were doing."

I raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you sure you weren't just getting in trouble?"

He sort of scratched the back of his head nervously, "Well no not exactly…how do you figure these things out?" he asked. Naruto and I were on an ok speaking basis. I didn't tell him anymore than I wanted him to know.

I leaned toward him and whispered, "It's because I'm," I put a finger up to my right temple and said, "Psychic," and then quickly laid back down again.

"Huh?" he asked slightly confused, "What do you mean by that? You aren't psychic!"

I rolled my black eyes that were under my goggles that I loved so much. I was about to take them off when Naruto had shown up.

"There is such a thing as sarcasm and I was just joking," I said. Of course I couldn't really blame him, I never really talked to anyone and so no one expected lame jokes from me.

"Oh," he said. He was sitting cross-legged and sort of leaned back a bit, "So besides wanting to relax on the last day of summer break, why are you out here?" he asked.

I sighed and said, "Because I came out here to think. Why do you ask so many questions? And why are you so persistent with them?" I asked.

He gave me an odd look, "Because I'm curious. Naturally curious I guess. And I can talk to you normally for some reason," he said and looked up at the sky.

This, I hadn't expected. I knew why Naruto was treated differently. I didn't treat anyone in my class differently. Of course I was always polite and never informal with others. Naruto was on my good list. A bit annoying at times, but definitely on my good list.

"You look different for some reason," Naruto said suddenly and, well, a bit random. I looked down at myself and found nothing different. I wasn't the most normal child in Konoha for keeping myself covered almost completely. "Oh wait, you have your hair down, that's it," Naruto said absentmindedly and looked back up at the clouds.

I nearly giggled. It would have been strange if I had for I don't really laugh or smile so much. Sure I smiled when being polite but never laughing. I don't really know why either.

My long, light blue hair that had different shades in it had been let out of its clip. It would have been pretty uncomfortable to be lying down with a clip biting in the back of my head.

Naruto perked up slightly and glanced nervously. People were coming. He smiled apologetically at me and said, "Well gotta run! See you in school tomorrow!" he said before dashing off.

I could sense the people coming closer and so I quickly shut my eyes and relaxed somewhat.

"Have you seen Naruto?" I heard the familiar voice of Iruka-sensei say. And I was hoping I wouldn't see him until tomorrow…

I opened one eye, looking straight up at him and shrugged, "Nope," I answered and then closed my eye again. I heard him sigh and then continue his search with the two other people he had with him. I didn't care to recognize them as they left anyways.

Eventually the sun started to set and I had to get home. On the way there I accidentally bumped into someone. Opening my eyes, yes they were closed, I saw Sasuke Uchiha looking behind him.

"Watch where you're going, Mitsuki," the Uchiha boy said with a glare.

"Back at 'cha, Uchiha," I said while rolling my eyes and then was tempted to stick my tongue out at him. So I did, when he wasn't looking.

"Very mature, Mitsuki," he said and I glared at his back. Sasuke Uchiha was definitely on my bad list. Most definitely.
