"Aniki…" I said, looking up at the tall man standing in front of me. Somehow, I was to be related to him- he was my half brother. But we didn't really get along- it's quite a long story.

"You will be attending Akatsuki Institute of Higher Education starting from tomorrow," he says sternly, leaving no room for arguments whatsoever.

"Yessir" I mumbled in response.

"This will be your uniform" he hands me a stack of folded clothes, the familiar red cloud insignia decorating the space over the right half. But something seemed off.

"Nii-sama!" I said, shocked at what I saw.

"Yes? Is there a problem?"

"No… never mind" I mumbled, already understanding the whole thing. I still couldn't argue against him- that's like asking for death, quite literally. Rumor has it that he and some of his friends beat to death some kid somewhere.

"Get ready; you'll be going to school with me starting tomorrow." Once he finished speaking, I bowed and turned, ready to leave.

"One more thing" he said, but I still didn't turn around. "Good luck, freshman." I could just hear the smirk in his voice. Oh how he irritates me.

-:-:-

"Welcome to AIHE" the unmotivated sophomore said, staring down at me with those unnerving milky white eyes of his. Was he wearing contacts? But I'm not one to judge on naturally occurring odd colors for hair and eyes and such. I myself had rather bright, annoying lavender locks chopped short just yesterday.

Oh, but his hair, his pretty hair. I must admit that I'm jealous of how pretty it is. So smooth and dark and chocolaty. Yum. I mean the chocolate, not his hair. Hair is not yum. Unless you're a creeper, and if that's the case, to each his own.

"Are you paying attention?" he glares at me, waving a hand in front of my face. My focus goes from his hair to his face. What a pretty face, but it would probably be prettier if not for that glare slapped onto those eyes. He seemed grouchy and unwilling. Not exactly everyone's role model, now is he?

"Hm?" I reply innocently, my eyes wandering to where this… green thing interrupts the general peace of this place.

"Good morning, Neji-kun!" the green thing yells as he runs towards the tour guide. As he comes closer, I realize that he's not only green, but also orange thanks to the help of arm warmers and leg warmers. Oh and that green I mentioned earlier? That turned out to be a jumpsuit. Yeah, I'm questioning this kid's fashion choice too.

"I can see the spirit of youth is with these youngsters!" he says cheerily.

"Lee, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there's only one freshman taking this tour" 'Neji' replies, his hand swooping over my head. Yeah, I'm kinda short. But he was a couple of steps ahead of me on this giant set of stairs. So yeah, that helped.

Still, he didn't have to be such a grouch about it- does is he on his man-period or something? I think I'll forget that thing called respect and label him as 'PMS boy.'

"And what is your name?" as the green wonder turned to face me, I could only concentrate on one thing- his outrageously bush eyebrows. It definitely matched that bowl cut, that's for sure.

"You can just call me Haru" I say

"Haru- spring! Oh, what a youthful name!" he exclaims, grabbing my hand with two of his. I started to tune him out as he talked on and on about the springtime of youth and all that good jazz.

Yeah, I should be paying more attention to my seniors, but that doesn't happen, and I don't see that happening anytime soon, either.

"Oh, Haru-kun!" Lee says, looking over a piece of paper that I swore was in my possession just second earlier. "How lucky! It must be the power of youth!" he exclaimed, grabbing my hand as well as the tour guide's. "You two are destined to be roommates!"

Yeah, Bushy-Brows stole my schedule.

Wait, rewind a bit there.

We're roommates? Me, rooming with PMS boy? Oh please, no.

"It's like that- there's a freshman, a sophomore, and a junior per room." PMS boy explains, grabbing the paper out of Bushy-Brow's hands.

"Wonderful, just wonderful" I mutter under my breath, but of course the wonderful PMS boy hears me, his eyes training onto me like those fancy-schmancy heat-seeking missiles.

"I'm not enjoying this any more so than you, freshie" he whispers coldly before abruptly turning around and continuing the tour, as if none of that had even happened.

Tch.

As if.

-:-:-:-

"And here are the boy's dormitories," PMS said, his speech void of absolutely any emotion besides boredom. "Where we'll be staying, quite obviously. The junior that rooms with us is a bit odd, but mostly he doesn't even come so you can ignore him." I nod politely to show that I was partially paying attention. "Do you want to move your stuff to the room now?"

"Yeah" I replied, tired of dragging my luggage around with me.

The building's kinda large, considering that this was kinda a small-ish private school. Okay, that was a lie. This is the apparently biggest and best private school out there that everyone hates because only smart brats or rich brats come here.

Anyways, back to large building. We went up the elevator in awkward silence, me absentmindedly drumming my fingers on the handle of my luggage. This thing had a total of 3 floors and we were on the second. The elevator opened up and I stared down the hall. Kinda reminded of those old hotels, what with all those doors leading to all those rooms.

Seeing as he was the only one with the keys, he opened the door. I quickly follow in behind him before the door closes and I'm stuck outside.

The dorm room was actually pretty big- two bedrooms, one with a bunk bed and the other furnished with a full-sized bed. There was a decently sized bathroom between the two bedrooms and the other living space off to the side. A small kitchenette filled up the remainder of the space. Only the necessities, I guess.

"You're sharing the bunk with me" Neji says, my attention refocusing to him. I mumble a reply, tossing my stuff in the only unoccupied corner of the room.

"So are we gonna continue this grand tour or what?"

A/N: 1,100+ words... I think.

Let's not ask the logic of me starting yet another story... But this one's interested me for now, and I'm already writing the 4th chapter so updating should be pretty steady. ANYWAYS. :) enjoi.

And yes, there will be some form of major plot twisting coming up sooner or later, but for now, I'm struggling to make these chapters at least 1,000 words long... yeah...
