Hello! This is my first naruto story ever. And I had to go and make it hard on myself by making it Sasuke x OC. I promise to try and not make it not suck! I basically have most of the plot already, but keep in mind my OC does not spend 24/7 with team 7, and will be full of other OC such as family, friends and such :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Kishimoto does. If I did own Naruto, there would be less flash-back time, more action and a lot more NARUTO KICKING ASS :D
I was nervous. So very nervous. You know that feeling that you get? The one where you stomach clenches and drops into your butt and it feels like you're gonna puke? Yeah. That's what I had. I'd never been in this situation before, this was all new to me. The trees, the smells, the people. Everything was so...pretty. So unlike Suna. I missed my friends, and my school. Now I had to start a new one, and I could barely bring myself to set foot into the academy.
"Go on honey." my mother whispered gently, pushing me softly on the shoulders towards the entrance. But I dug my heels into the floor, as many thoughts as my 6 year old mind could handle at once rushing through my head. What if they didn't like me? What if they thought I was weird? I don't think I'll make any friends here, though so far everyone has seemed nice. I glanced at my mother, her beautiful dark ebony hair shone in the sun, hair so unlike my own, a muddy brown colour, not unlike that of a mouse. I was glad I had her eyes though, two twinkling amethysts set deeply into her face, round and wide. They were her prettiest feature along with her hair. I was told I had my fathers hair, and so my mother would often play with it, stroking it softly. She would always say how much it reminded her of him, since his was around the same length as mine when they were my age too. I never got to meet him though, so I would never know. My train of thought was broken when my mother squatted down to my level.
"Don't you worry Suzu-chan, I'm sure everyone here will love you." She smiled softly, brushing her fingers through my hair. I loved my mother, she always knew what I was thinking. I took a deep breath, and with new found courage turned towards the academy, my mother in tow. As we approached the desk, my mother spoke briefly to the lady behind the desk, before planting a kiss on my forehead, claiming to be back for me when school had ended. The woman, who was rather pretty, her hair the same as Mothers, took me to my new class. She knocked on the door before sliding it open and ushering me inside.
"Ah! This must be Suzume-chan! I am your new Sensei, Iruka." A kind looking man said from the front of class, and in doing so the rest of the class fell silent. The nervousness returned, but I managed to swallow back the lump which had built up in my throat.
"H-Hello." I bowed hastily, making sure to show the courtesy that my mother had always taught me to show. He smiled brightly, before turning to the class.
"Students, this is Fujioka Suzume, I'd like you all to welcome her into Konoha. She's just moved her from Suna."
Several students then turned to me in awe, and one particular blonde boy was brave enough to comment.
"WOAH. Does that mean you lived in a sand-mud hut?!"
"Naruto!" My new Sensei shouted, glaring at him before turning to back to me.
"Would you please go take the spare seat at the back middle row? Next to Keigo. Keigo, raise your hand."
I turned to see a boy with bright, flaming red hair and a bandanna raise his hand, waving it slightly. I smiled and nodded, before heading to the back of the class. As I took my seat, Keigo and several other students eyes remained on me until Iruka began the lesson again. I paid attention through out the entire lesson, ignoring the boy beside me who insisted upon getting my attention. After class, Iruka signalled for us to go out and play. Inside the academy play ground, I took a spot near a bed of flowers, smiling and stroking the petals.
"Those are Hanashobu." A voice next to my ear startled me, and I turned to the sound of a pair of voices giggling. There was a girl with short pretty blonde hair and blue eyes, and next to her a giggling pink haired girl with pretty green eyes. I smiled, before giggling as well and scratching my cheek. The blonde one smiled before extending her hand.
"Hi! I'm Ino, and this is Sakura!" She smiled as I took her hand to shake.
"Pleased to meet you, I'm Suzume" I smiled back, shaking her hand before looking at Sakura, who seemed to be awfully shy, since she was hiding behind Ino. I smiled, she reminded me alot of a girl I knew back in Suna called Mikoto.
"Hi Sakura, you don't have to be shy! Lets all be friends, ne?" I asked, smiling brightly. Ino grinned back, and Sakura managed a bright smile as we all settled down in the grass. Ino, Sakura and I chatted about the different types of flowers in the courtyard, which I found interesting, and I got a few compliments off Ino about my bracelet that my Mother had made me. Suddenly, Ino gasped, grasping my arm and turning me around.
"Look!" She whispered loudly in my ear. "That's Uchiha Sasuke, isn't he super cute?" she sighed, smiling dreamily. I glanced at Sakura, who held the same expression. I took another look at the boy she was pointing, sitting by himself on a swing in the courtyard. He had spiky black hair with bangs neatly cut either side of his face, with pale skin and dark eyes. I smiled at Ino.
"Yeah, he's pretty cute I guess..." I whispered back. She grinned before nodding excitedly, and began chatting about how all the girls thought he was cute, but only she would be his girlfriend. I nodded along with her, not really caring all too much about the boy. Yes he was cute, but I didn't know him, so I couldn't say I would ever really want to be his girlfriend. As I said this, Ino and Sakura both grinned, and Ino remarked about how I could help her get to him. The teacher called us all to the training grounds before we could continue our conversation, but I could see how it left Sakura in somewhat of a damper. Oh well, maybe she got bored a bit?
The teacher made us all stand in line, and then called me up to the front.
"Ok Suzume-Chan! Its time to test your abilities! Your mother said you're good, so lets put that to the test shall we?" Iruka sensei smiled, before glancing around at his class. He finally pointed at the boy I was sat next to earlier.
"Keigo! How would you like to spar against Suzume-Chan?" Keigo blinked in surprise, before pointing at me with a mystified expression.
"But Iruka-Sensei, Suzume-san is a girl..." I immediately felt angry. I may be a girl, but I was still as capable as any boy in my class.
"I want to fight Keigo Iruka-Sensei." I asked politely, glaring at Keigo. Iruka smiled before nodding, and ushered us to get into our stances.
"Now you two, no weapons, just Tai-Jutsu!" he called, and as soon as we were ready, he signalled us to go. I clenched my fists, bringing the up and standing in the position my Mother had taught me. I could see already Keigo looking confused, as he took the normal stance which was taught to all Ninja. When he realised I was waiting for him to make the first move, he sprinted at me aiming a round house kick to my head. I quickly countered, sliding back a step so his foot fell helplessly in the air, before I in turn returned the roundhouse kick, aiming for his head. I managed to strike him, sending him sprawling to the floor. It felt good to show a boy just how good girls are. He stood up, glaring at me before again quickly running at me, this time aiming a punch for my stomach. I side stepped, dodging his punch before elbowing him the back and kneeing him the gut. I then pushed him back, and he landed on his butt with a thud. I giggled, since he looked so helpless, but in doing so I distracted myself and he pulled swiped his leg under my feet, and with a bang I landed straight on my back, biting my tongue in the process.
I once again felt anger well up inside me, so I quickly jumped back up, now deciding to hold nothing back. I jumped back up, standing in a defensive position as he ran towards me, aiming to throw a punch at my head. I quickly grabbed his wrist and punched him around the face, effectively stunning him for a second before I made a palm strike to his elbow, the moved into a joint lock position. Keigo hissed in pain, falling to his knees, and Iruka ended the match declaring me the winner. Keigo glared at me, huffing before heading back to the boys, who were all taunting him for loosing to a girl, where as I returned to the girls, all were congratulating me fore beating up one of the boys. The rest of the lesson continued as normal, with us taking aiming lessons with Kunai and Shuriken, before the boys and girls split up so that we could learn about flowers and such, which Ino, Sakura and I enjoyed. I also made another friend that day called Hinata, who is even more shy then Sakura is! It was later on that say that a boy came up to me, called Gaku, telling me that Keigo had now declared me his eternal rival, at which I couldn't help but burst into laughter about, causing Keigo who was hiding behind a bush nearby to blush terribly with embarrassment.
I knew after this day I would love being in Konoha. And you know what? I was completely right.
