Chapter One

It was the beggining of a new year. The students chatted happily, you could hear girls screaming at how they got the same classes with their best friends. There were almost no new students at that school; all the students had attended there for their entire life, a few exeptions here and there. This was a very special school...a martial arts school, to be exact. A group of students would get a teacher, and that would be their 'schedual'. They would be taught all of the other 'important' subjects, of course. Almost like elementary school, but at high school level.

The bell rang signaling the students for the first class of the year.

"Hello, class!" Iruka-sensei said as he entered the class. He sighed. The sight in front of him wasn't pretty, but he saw it often.

"I WANT TO SIT NEXT TO SASUKE-KUN!"

"NO, I DO!!"

"Class....." He growled, rubbing his temples.

The girls were still arguing.

"CLASS!!"

They immeadeatally took the nearest seat. Sakura was happy, though, she got to sit next to Sasuke. He began to take roll, and students would talk, pausing for a moment, to reply to Iruka-sensei after he called their name.

"......Haruno, Sakura?"

"Here!" She said energetically. She was pumped this year. She had a mission: Kiss Sasuke! Sasuke.... She looked over to him and blushed. He was so cute!

"Uchiha, Sasuke?"

"Yeah." He muttered, raising his hand slightly to signify his prescence.

"Uzumaki, Naruto?"

"YO! I am here! I graduated to the next level! YEAH!!" He said with way too much enthusiasm.

"Yes, Naruto, and we are very proud of you..." Iruka said, sighing. There was a light knock on the door. "I'll be right back, class. Behave." He stressed on the behaivior part.

A few moments later, Iruka-sensei came back into the room with someone behind him. "Class, I would like to introduce a new student. Her name is Kamiya, Mizuki. She comes from Tokyo. Please welcome her and be as kind as you can be."

There were a few welcomes from the chairs, and soon a bell rang loudly, echoing through the classroom. . "Oh, that time already... go ahead and take your break! see you all in a half an hour!" Iruka said cheerfully.

Mizuki stood there looking very confused. "Oh, right. Eer......Sasuke-kun! Please introduce Mizuki-kun to the school and get her used to how things work. Have fun!" He said as he walked out of the room. She stood there, looking around. All she saw was one boy with black hair, leaning his chin on his hands.

"Are you.... Sasuke-kun.....?"

"Yeah, now look. we have thirty minutes of class then a thirty minute break. We then have an hour of class then lunch. Then thirty MORE minutes of class and a thirty minute break and once again an hour of class then we leave unless you want to train afterwards. If that is the case you get another thiry minute break and train for two hours then go home. Now go away."

Sasuke said and stood, walking out the back door. Mizuki stood there, looking very confused.

She walked outside, trying to get used to her new surroundings.

"Was Sasuke any help?" A loud and obviously masculine voice said from behind her.

"Not really...." She said, turning around to find a boy with blonde, spikey hair, wearing an orange jump suit.

"Figures." He said, walking over to her. "Don't worry, I'll show you around." He said cheefully, grabbing her hand gently.

The bell rang once more, signaling for them to get back to class. And, the dilema went on once more. Who was going to sit next to Sasuke? Mizuki sighed, watching the scene. She spotted Naruto sitting somewhat near the area, and decided she wanted to sit next to Naruto.

"Excuse me...." She said to the feuding girls. They all stopped and watched her to see what she was doing. She went up to Sasuke, and he looked up at her.

"What do you want?" He said, sounding annoyed.

"I want to sit there." She stated plainly.

"No." Was all he said as he looked back up at the board. By this time, the girls were fuming, especially Sakura. They were happy that he turned down the request to sit next to him, though.

"I believe you misunderstood me. I do not want to sit next to you, I want to sit THERE." She said, pointing beyond Sasuke; Naruto. At that moment, Naruto looked up and knew that he was now the center of their conversation. He blushed slightly, his eyes wide in awe.

'S-She wants to sit next to me...?' He thought, dumbfounded.

"So move." She said, now getting a little angry. The girls standing by were fuming once more.

"No." Sasuke said, sounding bored.

She growled and grabbed the collar of his shirt, throwing him to the side. The girls screamed and went to his aid, asking if he was okay, others glaring at Mizuki. She walked up to the now very shocked Naruto and asked,

"Is it alright if i sit here? I can sit somewhere else if you like, though."

He grinned. "No! No! Go ahead, sit!"

Sasuke had finaly gotten the girls away from him, and he was staring at Mizuki, shocked as well. That had totally taken him off guard. He watched as Naruto explained different things to her as papers were passed out, putting his arm around her shoulder, trying to show something on the other side. Mizuki blushed from the contact.

Sakura stood by and watched, disgusted.

It was now time for lunch. Mizuki stood and sighed. She looked around and saw her fellow students leaving the building. She decided to follow them, and saw that she was allowed to go pretty much wherever she wanted. She decided to sit on a bench under a sakura tree, somewhat secluded from where the others were sitting.

She looked around and sighed. She always had to move from town to town, and it seemed to her she had never stayed in one place for more than a year. She decided it would be better not to get too attached to anyone. She sniffled, trying to keep the tears that were stinging in the back of her eyes from falling.

Little did she know, Naruto happened to be walking by, and he noticed that she seemed to be upset. "Mizuki-kun....?" He asked, approaching her slowly.

She jumped at the sound of his voice and turned arond, her face and eyes red from crying. "Naruto-kun......." She whispered, and quickly wiped the tears from her face.

"What's wrong?" He asked gently, looking at her with concern.

"It's nothing." She said, looking away, still trying to erase all proof of her crying.

"It's alright, you can tell me..." He said, gently wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!" She said, pushing him away from her and runnig off. He sighed and looked down, finding that she had left her lunch.

"........."

She ran. She ran and ran and ran. She ran until she tripped over something. She sat up and looked around, and realised that she was in the forest that surrounded the school, and that she had tripped over a vine. Her knee was beeding, but she took no notice.

Why was he being so nice to her? Why was it any of his buisness of what she was doing and whether she was crying or not? She sighed. She simply could not get attached. To anyone. Her heart would end up getting broken once more. It happened over and over. She would make friends, she would love them with all her heart, then she would have to leave them behind....

Her father and mother were important buisness people. They had been sent to Tokyo because they were supposed to start their own law firm. But when that didn't work out they decided to take a leave into the counrty, and that was when they found out about that small town called Hokage Village.

They sent her to that school so she could train up, but she knew it was no use. Throughout her years it was the same thing, and it was very hard for her to really learn anything because of their frequent moves. She barely had graduated to the next level grade. Just barely. When she was in Tokyo, they had stayed there for almost an entire year, and she thought that this time it was different. That she was going to stay for real. She should have known better.

So now, here she was, crying and bleeding on a forest floor because of her damned life. Because she made herself promise that she simply would not commit herself to anyone or anything. but that Naruto.... there was something different about him. As if he was maybe going through something similar to her own...

She rubbed her eyes and stood up, feeling refreshed. She began walking back to the school when he realized that she was lost.

"This....is not good......." She said to herself as she wandered deeper into the forest. She heard a rustling behind her and turned around, screaming when she saw a bear, and it looked ready to kill. She ran, and it chased.

She suddenly fell to the ground, tripping over another root. She closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the pain of impact to come, but it never did. She hesitentally cracked one eye open to see the bear laying on the forest floor, dead, a figure standing over it.

"S-sasuke-kun....?" He turned around and glared down at her. "What were you doing out here by yourself?" He demanded, staring deeply into her eyes. She felt a blush creep on her face, but she ignored it and tried to stand, a string of pain going through her as she realised she had sprained her ankle.

"I would like to ask you the same thing!" She said, crossing her arms.

"THAT, is none of your buisness. I have been going to this school me whole life, so I know what I am talking about. YOU, on the other hand, have been going here for less than a day. This forest is dangerous." He said, walking over to her, still staring at her intently.

Her blush darkened, and the pain in her ankle was getting worse. "I had to think about some things..."

"What kind of things?"

She was now getting angry. He was being way too curious!! Like it was any of his buisness... "I don't think that is any of your concern." She said, uncrossing and recrossing her arms.

He just stared at her, as if trying to read her expression, and his eyes widen when she suddenly collapsed. She shut her teeth tight, taking in a breath, hissing in pain, trying not to cry out. Sasuke walked over to her and looked at her ankle, although it would have been easier if her hands weren't clasped over it tightly.

He moved her hands gently and studied her ankle. "Your ankle is broken." He stated. She rolled her eyes at him. "I think that would be obvious at this point.."

He frowned and stared at her, making her blush at his intense gaze. He stood and bent down, picking her up braidal-style. Her eyes widened, watching him.

"What are you doing?!" She said, her blush darkening.

"Taking you back to the school so you can get proper medical care." She crossed her arms and huffed, then squinted as they were now out of the forest and the light from the sun shone brightly. She looked up at his stotic face, and couldn't help but wonder why he was doing this. She had gotten the impression that he disliked her.

As he walked towards, the school, the bell rang, and the students filed into the school. Mizuki suddenly caught the sight of Naruto, their eyes met, and his eyes widened. "MIZUKI?!?"

Naruto sighed. Why had she run away from him like that? There was definetally something wrong with her.... He picked up her lunch and walked over to a bench closer to the school, so when she came back for class he could catch her and give her the forgotten lunch.

The bell rang and he sighed, looking around for Mizuki. Just as he was about to enter the building, he sees Sasuke, his sworn rival, carrying Mizuki, in his arms, and she looked like she was being carried against her will.

"MIZUKI?!?" He yelled, running up to them. He and Sasuke held a glaring contest then, but Mizuki broke the silence. "Is that my lunch, Naruto- kun...?" He blinked and looked at Mizuki, then to her bento box.

"Oh, yeah, you left it when you...went to do that thing...." He said, not wanting Sasuke to know that she had run from him. He handed her the package. "Arigato, Naruto-kun...." She said, blushing from his kindness.

Sasuke watched the scene, then cleared his throat, getting their attention. "Naruto, Mizuki-kun has broken her ankle and needs to get the proper care, so if you don't mind, get out of my way." The late bell rang, and Naruto cursed.

"I can take her!" Naruto said, reaching his arms out to grab her from Sasuke. Sauke held her, almost protectivly for a moment, then handed her over to Naruto.

"Fine, go ahead. Like I care." He said, acting like he didn't. But Naruto saw over it, and growled lightly. Sasuke smirked and walked into the school building.

The whole class looked to the right as Naruto walked in, carrying Mizuki, who now had a fresh cast on her leg. She blushed, feeling all eyes on her.

"Are you alright, Mizuki-kun?" Iruka-sensei asked, walking over to them.

"Hai.....I broke my ankle, but I'll be okay....." Mizuki said quietly.

"You may take the seat in the front, next to Sakura." Iruka-sensei said, and Naruto's ears perked slighty. He nodded and gently set her down in the seat next to Sakura. She glared at Mizuki.

'Why is Naruto being so protective of her?! it's like they have known each other forever, like they are best friends...or even.....' She shivered. That was way to creepy to think about. She shook her head and put her gaze back on Mizuki, who was staring after him.

It disgusted Sakura for some strange reason. Then she saw it. Sasuke....he was staring down at her. At first, Sakura thought that his heated gaze was directed towards herself, but then....she followed his gaze, and saw it was directed towards Mizuki. Sakura ground her teeth.

This was the final straw. Now, she had a new mission: Get rid of Mizuki!
