We're Different, and We're Proud! (Part 1: The Crazy Kids!)

In Konoha a ten year old girl had just arrived and was now sitting in the Hokage's office.

"So what is your name?" The Hokage asked.

"M-my name is Orochiko..." The shy girl said. Her hand rested on top of a yellow snake that was curled up on her lap.

"That's a very pretty name." The Hokage said smiling. Orochiko just smiled slightly. "So where are you from?" He asked.

"I don't know..." Orochiko said quietly. She stared at the floor, trying not to make eye contact.

"Do you know anyone from here?" The Hokage asked, confused at how a ten year old girl could be sent here without knowing where she came from in the first place.

"No..." She answered. She looked up from the ground for just a second, but quickly looked back at the ground.

In that second, the Hokage saw a familiar look in the girl's eyes. A look the made him think of one name...Orochimaru.

*A few minutes later*

Orochiko walked to her house slowly.

At the same time another girl about the same age as Orochiko was humming a tune to herself. When she noticed the new girl and she decided to run up to her. "HELLO!" She shouted smiling.

Orochiko screamed, causing the other girl to scream.

A boy about the two girl's age walked up to them. "Jira! Why are you screaming with this girl you've never seen before!" He shouted above the screaming.

The two girls stopped screaming. "You know Tsubasa...I honestly don't know..." Jira said. "I just walked up to her and said 'hello' and she started screaming, so I screamed too."

Orochiko stared at the boy and girl confused. "U-um...excuse me but...who are you people?" she asked.

"My name's Jira!" Jira said. "And this is my friend Tsubasa!" She pointed to the boy who waved and smiled.

"My name's Orochiko." Orochiko said with a small smile. "But I like to be called O'chi." The yellow snake slithered up Orochiko's arm and stared at Jira and Tsubasa and flicked its tongue. "And this is my snake, Uno." Orochiko pat her snake's head. "We just moved here."

"No wonder you don't look familiar." Jira said.

Tsubasa sighed and rolled his eyes at Jira's response. "Anyway, welcome to Konoha." He said to Orochiko. "Do you want us to show you around after you dropped of everything?"

Orochiko just blinked and nodded, which was her special way of responding to things when she felt shy.

*After dropping off everything*

"Okay!" Jira said. "Let's show you the Ninja Academy first!" She grabbed Orochiko by the wrist and ran, with Tsubasa fallowing closely behind.

*After the tour*

"I guess that's everything we had to show you." Tsubasa said.

"We'll see you at the Ninja Academy tomorrow, right?" Jira asked.

"Yep." Orochiko said.

"Good!" Jira said smiling.

Then the three crazy kids left to there homes.
