Hana Takahashi was the perfect girl. She was a genius. A witty, intriguing young woman, with the looks of an absolute goddess. Short strawberry blond hair that accentuated her soft features, big turquoise eyes that glowed with a warming light. She could charm the coldest of men, and was the subject of envy for many other girls. Truly, a beautiful girl…Except she isn't really that smart….and Is also kind of..annoying.
"Hiroshiiii! What'cha writing there?" There was her shrill annoying voice. How sad. Hiroshi closed his journal quickly. "N-nothing Hana-chan" He nervously replied. "Hmmm. Whatever." She said as she twirled her hair absentmindedly. The brown haired boy looked up at the girl from where he sat in the classroom. She's so…loud. A shame, she's so beautiful. It's like finding a torn hundred dollar bill in your pocket. "I got ya staring huh? It's fine, I know how pretty I am. OHOHOHO!" She held her dainty hand to her mouth and let out a haughty laugh. "You aren't man enough for me though Hiro-pyon" She smirked at the boy. "That's fine Hana-chan, I'm not that interested in girls anyway.." The boy quietly replied, even though he wanted to smack her upside the head with his journal. "Ohhh right! You're the nerdy book loving type! That's real lame honestly. You should practice taijustu with me instead of reading those silly healing jutsu textbooks! We'll beat up everyone in our way!"
The girl put her foot up on a chair and clenched her hand into a fist, wearing a determined expression. "Hana-chan, you shouldn't practice taijustu alone. How's your ninjustu going?" Hiroshi asked as he clicked his pen. "Ehhhh..Don't worry about that! I'm top of the class when it comes to taijustu and that's all that matters!" She thrusted her fist into the air and smiled. "You mean..second to Itachi Uchiha-san." Hiroshi butted in to ruin her little moment. "S-Shut up! That stupid Uchiha brat is no where near my leve-" "Is that why he beat he you fair and square five times?" "I said shut up Hiroshi!" She screamed. Sigh what did I do to deserve such a team mate? "Hmph! You'll see, I'll beat that snot nosed little kid up one day." She remarked, with fire burning in her eyes.
"Anyway, I've got to get home soon, so, seeya later Hana-san." The boy picked up his belongings and stood up from his chair. "Aww already? I wanted to go get dango later." The girl pouted. "You mean show up at that sweets shop Uchiha-san frequents and try to start a fight?" The boy said with an unimpressed look on his face. "Gehehe! You know me so well Hiro-pyon!" She smirked. There goes that stupid nickname again. "Well, seeya!" Hiroshi said as he left the almost empty classroom.
Guess I'll have to stir the pot all by myself today! Hana didn't have any other friends, though she'd never admit it. She was actually quite sad to see Hiroshi leave. Ah well! Off to Nakamura-san's sweet shop. Hana left the academy and began happily skipping to the village shopping square, humming obnoxiously all the while. Hehehe I'll slap his dango straight out of his hand! Even the most kindest of men would kill a man for their dango! Hana was scheming with an ominous expression on her face.
When she arrived at the sweets shop, she took a deep breath before opening the sliding door. She swung the door open with a great force, and spotted the small black haired boy grabbing his dango from the server over the counter. "Itachi Uchiha!" Hana exclaimed while pointing at the boy. The sever sighed, another day of this crazy brat. "What is it Hana-san?" Itachi spoke in a calm voice, unfazed by her shout. She grunted frustratingly at the lack of reaction from the boy. "F-fight me! In a noble battle between sworn rivals!" The girl's finger shook with each word. "I'm sorry Hana-san, I don't want to fight you." He bowed his head. Stupid respectful Uchiha bra- "Wow Itachi, you didn't tell me you had a rival!" The cheery voice of another boy entering the shop rang out. Hana turned around, it was another Uchiha who looked to be around her age, with spiky hair. "We aren't sworn rivals, we're classmates." Itachi spoke to his friend, Shisui Uchiha. Hana looked at the boy. An Uchiha smiling!? Is this another dimension!? "Wrong! I am Hana Takahashi, the sworn rival of Itachi Uchiha, I swore so myself." She corrected the boy. "Well, I'm Shisui Uchiha. Did Itachi surpass you at the academy? He has a lot of rivals because of that." The boy smiled and responded. Hana couldn't tell if it was a smug smile, or a friendly one. "Y-yes, he did." She meekly responded, ashamed of the fact.
"Well! Sorry about that! But, Itachi and I have to do something now so, maybe you guys can fight later?" Shisui put his hand on Itachi's shoulder and gently nudged the boy out of the shop. "Seeya around Hana-San!" Shisui yelled to the dumbfounded girl, and Itachi gave a small wave. Hana was at a loss for words "B-byeee.." Yet another loss at the hands of a dark haired demon. She pouted. Dang it. She left the shop and walked home with a dejected expression.
"Mom! I'm home!" Hana shouted as she entered her house. There was no response. Guess she's still working at the hospital. Hana went up to her room and sat on her desk chair, letting out a loud sigh. She got up and walked to her bedroom window and opened it. "Hiroshi!" She shouted to her neighbor's window, and it slid open. Hiroshi stood in his lounging clothes. "What do you want?" He asked. "I lost again Hiro-pyon." She said with a sad frown. Hiroshi's expression softened. "So what? You never give up do you? Try again another time, I'm sure you'll win." He said with an encouraging smile. "Hiroshiii! You're so kind! It's honestly kinda weird..Could it be? Are you in love with me?" She said with a suggestive smirk. The boy's smile faded "No I'm not you idiot!" He yelled, and slammed his window closed. Huh. What a tsundere.
Author's note:
1.The thoughts at the first part are Hiroshi's, and at the second part is Hana's.
2. Itachi is 8 years old, Hana and Hiroshi are 9, Shisui is 9. Weird to hear pre-pubescent children speaking so maturely but remember they're all training to be child soldiers, and Itachi and Shisui are child prodigies.
3. Those line breaks appear when the pov/thoughts changes to someone else, or the location changes, it'll reoccur.
