The New Girl

It was the first day of the new school year and the teacher had assigned everyone to study while he went to check the call to the office. However there weren't many people actually studying and the group in the very back and the last row weren't different.

Most people tried to avoid connecting to the five kids mainly because of Kyosuke Kimura, who was known to fight people just for looking at him dirty. For years people thought he would get himself killed until Minato and Taisho Namikaze ignored the other's warnings and became friends with him. Then Link Uzamaki and Yukiko Cordin joined them.

Because of them Kyosuke was able to open up and actually become the groups' protector in some ways. As the others were talking Kyo noticed that he wasn't the only one quiet that day. Minato normally would take part in his brother's conversations, however not this time. Just then Yukiko and Taisho started their argument again.

"I mean come on Yukiko, I seriously doubt that it's someone from the Stone Academy." said Taisho. "They hate us."

"You don't know that. Just because your father didn't like it doesn't mean anything." said Yukiko as Link walked up to them

"What are you guys talking about?" he asked

"The new kid." Taisho answered.

"Kushina?"

"You know her?" asked Yukiko shocked.

"Yeah she's from my old school. You know that Shadow Academy." said Link

"The Shadow Academy? I thought that school was shut down because of illegal testing and stuff." said Yukiko

"It was. Kushina and I went before that though. I left about a month after staring, and Kushina left a little after I did. I don't know where she went before now though."

"That's crazy about your school though, right Minato? Hey Minato are you even listen?" asked Taisho but when his brother didn't answer he walked down to the row where Minato sat to see what was wrong. However just seeing his brother's face was enough. His brother was still thinking about the fight that they had had that morning with their parents. "Dude just forget it. It's not worth it."

"What's going on Tai?" asked Yukiko

"Mom and dad told Minato and me that we had to stop hanging out with you guys because our grades were dropping, but Minato said that it wasn't the friends but the lack of help we had at home. They had a huge fight and pretty much told us that if we continued to hang out with you guys that we didn't have a home to come to." explained Taisho.

"That is so stupid." said Link.

"Yeah well the problem is we have nowhere to go. The rest of the clan won't go behind father's back and take us in and well we're not exactly liked around here. Except for you guys." said Minato glumly.

"So what are you going to do?" asked Yukiko

"Don't know yet."

"You could always come and stay with me. I love alone so it's good." said Kyosuke.

"Thanks Kyo, but I have a bad feeling about this anyway." said Minato just as the teacher walked in with a girl with long red hair. Minato looked up and was surprised at the sudden attraction the felt toward her. However he just kept quiet about it. He didn't want to be seen as a weirdo.

"Class we have a new student with us today. This is Kushina Uzamaki." said Sensei- Reiden; however his next words were drowned out due to the boys mocking her because of her hair. "Anyway I have to step out for a bit. I want you all studying when I return." And he left with an annoyed look on his face.

Minato turned to Link surprised. The girl had the same last name as his best friend. "Isn't she your friend Link?"

"Actually she's more than my friend. Kushina is my twin sister." said Link not noticing the looks of shock on his friends faces.

"What?" asked Yukiko

"We were separated when we were young. But our father died in the war and she was sent to our mother. However ,my uncle didn't like that and practically kidnapped her. At least until our mother said that if she wasn't sent back home then the whole clan would fight against them." said Link as Kushina walked up to them.

"And there isn't a whole lot of them left. So mother's clan would have wiped them out." she said, but Minato could tell that they two were hiding something. The way the two told the story, it was like it was rehearsed. "Hi I'm Kushina. I was told to come sit in the last row last seat."

"That's the one beside me!" said Yukiko excitedly

"Wow. I've never met someone so cheerful." Kushina laughed.

"Yukiko is always like that. I'm Taisho Namikaze by the way and this is my twin brother Minato."

"Hi." Minato said blushing something that Link saw. His best friend liked his sister.

"Hi." Kushina said back.

"Yeah and that's Kyo over there." said Link finishing the introductions. "He's kind of shy when it comes to new people, but when he gets to know you he's a great friend."

"I had a feeling that you would have great friends Link." said Kushina smiling.

"You know me." said Link

"Yeah I do."

"Anyway how was the move here?" asked Link "Was everything okay?"

"Yeah it was fine." said Kushina. "Uncle tried to talk me out of coming here but I told him that there was no way I was going back to the Shadow Village."

"Why did he want you to go there?" asked Link shocked.

"I don't know." said Kushina looking away.

Link looked at his friends pointedly and they left to get their books and to get one for Kushina. Link then leaned into his sister with a serious look. "Look I know you better than that. It's because of the fox isn't it?"

"I think so. That's why I wanted to come to the same school as you. So that… well you know."

"Yeah I know ." said Link and he hoped that his sister would just find the one she needed.
