Chapter 1: Before the Beginning
Hi. This is my very first story about my rpc, so I hope you like it. Oh and I am a disclaimer, meaning that I don't own Naruto or any of its characters.
Flashback: "Haruki my dear, I know I wasn't always there for you, but hang in there. If I don't survive, I just want you to know that I love you, and that I will always be there for you. When you find your inner self, you will learn why I had to leave you. Goodbye Haruki."
"Ahhh!", Haruki screamed, just awaking from her dream. "That's the third time this week. What's wrong with me?"
Haruki sat up in her bed sweating. She yawned and looked over at her clock. It said seven thirty-six.
" Oh no!! I'ts seven already. If I'm late again, Iruka will be all over me."
She quickly threw on her pink shirt with black sleeves and a black skirt, and rushed out the door. As she ran through Konoha, she felt the warmth of the sun on her skin. It felt good, and made her forget about the dream she had.
"Hey Haruki!" yelled a boy running towards her. He had on a black shirt with white shorts, and he had funny hair, similar to a ducks butt.
"Oh hey Sasuke, it's not like you to be late, you're usually the first one there." said Haruki.
"I know, but ever since that incident with my clan, I haven't been myself lately." Sasuke replied softly, suddenly getting a cold chill remembering watching his clan be brutally murdered. He was sorta in a daze recalling that night.
"Ummm Sasuke, hello??" Haruki said, puzzled by the sudden silence between them.
"Oh, sorry, I won't do it again." Sasuke replied, blushing.
"What do I look like to you, Iruka sensei? Oh, that's right, we better hurry before we're really late!" said Haruki, as she ran towards the Ninja Academy, with Sasuke close behind her.
At the Academy, Haruki and Sasuke ran swiftly down the hallways, and finally entering their classroom. The classrooms had desks that started from the ceiling, all the way down to the floor right in front of the teachers' desk. Sasuke and Haruki sat next to each other on the third row next to Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura.
"Hi Sasuke-kun, how are you this morning?" Sakura asked while blushing.
"Hmmmph" replied Sasuke, with a cold expression on his face.
"Oh no here we go again." said Naruto and Haruki at the same time.
When Haruki heard him, she started blushing. "Oh, why is my face turning red? I know he LOVES Sakura-Chan. I should just give up on him."
Then, she saw Hinata staring at Naruto, blushing as well. She started getting a little suspicious and a little jealous. She and Hinata had been close since, like forever, and Haruki had a crush on Naruto for a while, before finding out that he liked Sakura. She never told Hinata, because she was too embarrassed. Now she was wondering if Hinata had a crush on him. She opened her mouth to speak, but Iruka walked in the classroom.
"Okay class, settle down. Today we're going to be talking about Kekkei genkai."
"Ughhh!", said the whole class.
"Now let's see", said Iruka, "Kekkei genkai are special jutsu that belong to a certain village or clan. If you are able to master a Kekkei genkai, you can gain amazing power, but it takes a lot of training to even learn a jutsu. When you find your inner self, you can master it quick."
"Alright, now all I have to do is find this inner self thing, and I'll sure to be Hokage!" Naruto yelled.
Haruki and Hinata both started blushing more than before. Noticing this, Sasuke tapped Haruki.
"Hey Haruki, are you sick or something?"
"Oh no I'm fine, thanks." whispered Haruki.
Haruki suddenly remembered the dream she had. Some woman had told her that if she found her inner self, she would know the truth.
Later in the evening, Haruki packed herself some food, clothes, weapons, and her special necklace. She headed toward the gates of the Leaf Village. She looked back at the huge village, knowing that it would be awhile before she ever saw it again. She promised herself that when she came back, that she would be a better person and find her inner self, as she leapt into the forest in the full moons illuminating glow.
-So that's the first chapter, please give comments and ratings. I personally think that I did a good job with the first chapter.
