I sprinted down the hall of the ninja academy thinking to my self as I ran: late, late, late! I'm going to be late! I came to a screeching halt in front of the classroom door. I paused to catch my breath, straighten myself up, and organize my thoughts. Then I slowly opened the classroom door and stepped in. Iruka-sensei was speaking to the class.
"I will now assign you to your…; Oh, there you are Yuri" he said.
"I'm sorry Sensei, I know I'm late, but something came up at home."
"It's all right, I was just getting started. Take a seat by Hinata and Kiba" he said.
I hurried over and sat down between Hinata and Kiba.
"Now as I was saying I will now assign you to your team. Each team is comprised of three people. These people are placed together so they will work well with and support each other."
I zoned out during the formation of the first six teams. I noticed that Hinata was watching Naruto as usual. I'm sure she has a crush on him, for reasons unknown to me at the moment. Considering he barely graduated, he always gets in trouble and we have to pay for it when he gets caught. The rest of the girls were staring at Sasuke, and of course he wasn't paying any attention to them at all as usual. They say he's cool and cute. I say he's cold and aloof. His mind is focused on one thing only, to avenge his clan with the help of his brother. I guess everyone here has his or her own goals and dreams. I'm not the type to go soft over boys, yeah they're nice for the most part, but I think of them more as friends and allies, not as potential boyfriends or something to stare at and sigh over. I guess every girl no matter how serious she is allowed to have a crush on a boy, natural instinct I suppose. I admit I do have a crush but I hide it very well and I don't let it get in the way of more serious matters. Who do I like you ask; I like Kiba Inuzuka. He's cute and strong. He's a bit rough sometimes, but overall he's pretty nice and cool. He likes dogs, which is awesome. His dog, Akamaru, is so cute; I love how he rides on Kiba's head. They make a great combination, especially in battle. Any way I should start paying attention.
"Team 7," Iruka-sensei was saying, "Will be Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Namikaze Noaki, and Araya. Team 8 will be Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and Hyuuga Hinata."
Darn.
"Team 9 is already formed and is comprised of Hyuuga Neji, Rock Lee and Ten-Ten, and is lead by Maito Gai. Team 10 will be Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Choji."
"Wait Sensei! What about me?" I asked puzzled.
"Ah yes! Since there was an odd of students who graduated, the sensei for team 8 has kindly volunteered to take an extra person, so you are now on Team 8."
Sweet, I'm on the same team as Kiba and my cousin Hinata. I don't know much about Shino though, oh well there's always time to learn.
"Thanks Sensei."
"Sure, Yuri. Everyone, go have lunch with your teammates and get to know each other. You will meet your senseis' this afternoon. Good Luck."
Lunch was rather quiet. We didn't talk much after we'd introduced ourselves. None of us knew were to start. I started thinking about who I really am and who everyone thought I was. I'm part Hyuuga, part Uchiha, though no one knows about the Uchiha part. I'm Neji's half-sister and Sasuke's cousin.(Something like that any way.) My mother, Neji's mom too, had an affair with one of Sasuke's uncles. My father never knew me. Nobody except the Third Hokage, my mother and Neji's father knows the truth. Everyone else thinks I'm fully Hyuuga. The only things that are different from the other Hyuugas are the fact that not only do I have Byakugan, I also have Sharingan. (Nobody knows that either.) I also have the six-tailed Griffin Daemon sealed inside me and I have a dog. Weird, Huh?
Most of the villagers know that I have the daemon inside me and the dog is obvious. I've always been weird, an outsider. If they found out I was half Hyuuga, half Uchiha, that would just make me even weirder, so it a secret I intend to keep for as long as possible.
