Twelve years ago, a nine-tailed fox suddenly appeared. It's tails lashed out, Smashing mountains and sending tidal waves crashing to the shores. The ninja rose up to defend their villages. That was until the fourth hokage and his wife gave their lives to save their village and child. The fox was sealed into the body of their infant named Naruto. Of course this story has been told, loved and even at times confusing. Now is the story of a young girl, who on that night was being protected and cared for by her beloved brother. So instead of the tales of the poor demon bound babe, we switch the story to focus of the tales of another. The one who will only plead for morals, the one named Kohaku Uchiha.
Kohaku's pov:
Slowly raising out of my warm bed, I prepared to get to the academy. As i looked at the clock next to my bed I could see that by the time i got there it would already be five minutes late anyways. With a sigh heaved and clothes within my reach I had changed from my pajamas and lazily walked out my front door. My hair was a mess of short spiked raven locks. If I could see my face, I would suspect it to be the same seemingly tired expression. Lines pulled at my eyes and cheeks and gave a look of being older and thus more exhausted, Which didn't help that I had just woken up. The faint pink scar on my cheek was long and jagged, pulling at my skin. Faintly a sound could be heard, Laughter to be exact. I thought about it and found out it to be the class clown, Naruto Uzumaki. With a more pep in my step I ran to school, if he was pulling a prank. I could simply slide into class when all of the chaos is happening and get off scot free. While running, I didn't stop until I saw the room door in sight, Breathing heavily i walked inside to see no teacher and everyone's eyes on me. It was quiet for a moment before I heard a multitude of questions and comments. " Kohaku, Did you oversleep again?" I scratched the side of my head and lowered my eyes, Awkward, and embarrassed chuckles escaping me. "Maybe…"
The girls smiled and laughed playfully. " If you want maybe I can come by your house and wake you up on my way out? I live not too far away." I turned to the girl and smiled " Don't worry about it, I have sasuke who normally is good when getting me up in the mornings." The one with vibrant pink hair named, Sakura Shyly stated " Well even some days you don't get up on time, Likely because you fall back asleep. Maybe it would help stop you from being late on the off days." I nod, but politely decline. The girls crowding around Sasuke turned back towards him and swooned, I moved slowly towards the hoard of girls and speak " Would you mind if is ask why Iruka-sensei isn't here?" I already knew the answer,but I wanted to help the poor anti social boy next to me from all the people. Turning their sights to me they blushed " Not a all! Stupid Naruto was caught painting the Hokage monument." Placing my hand under my chin I question. "Did Iruka already take attendance?" The girls shook their heads on almost the same que. "Not completely, He is going to finish the roll when he gets back, But don't worry if he tries to mark you late. We'll say you were here the whole time, Right?" The others agreed and I smiled kindly towards them. "Thank you so much, You truly are kind." About the time that I said that Iruka came stomping into the room with a tied up naruto. " I'm at the end of my rope, Naruto. You failed the graduation test last time and the time before that. Tomorrow, You've got another chance, and you're messing up again." Naruto huffed and turned his head away from the lecturing iruka. Angrily iruka yells " Fine! Because you missed it, Naruto, Everyone will review the transformation jutsu! " I sighed and whined "But i don't like that jutsu." The anti-social boy next to me huffed and stated " Stop whining, it's annoying." Glaring i remarked "I'm not annoying, Mr. I despise everyone."
"Hn." Sasuke replied. Smirking I said" Remember that book I gave you, The one that helped you find good word to express your thoughts. Maybe you should actually, I don't know... Read it." Turning away I got into the line of students. As sakura used the jutsu, she turned into a replica of our teacher, as she successfully did it correctly, she smiled brightly and looked for appraise by my the emotionally stunted childhood friend, Sasuke. A simple moment of silence filled the room. " Next, Sasuke." The boy transformed into a replica of iruka too. "Uh, Good. Next, Naruto Uzumaki." The pineapple hair shaped boy, Named Shikamaru spoke grimly towards said boy "This is a total waste of time,Naruto. " Ino, the bright haired girl scowled. "We always pay for your screw-ups." Naruto angrily walked forwards "Like I care." The for yelled " Transform and held hands in the hand signs for the just. Except he didn't follow the group and use a live replica of our teacher. No the boy had changed into a girl, Covered in nothing but clouds to save her, Some, and I mean some modesty. Shielding my eyes away I turned to the others next to me to see a quarter do the same. The others were gawking, and some staring unphased. Honestly it didn't phase me, but since I gave the appearance of a kind hearted and compassionate young boy( Even if i am a girl) , i wanted to keep that facade. Iruka flew back dramatically, but got back up all the same and continued the practice.
The rest of the class was a blur of practice and lectures, slowly I fell asleep. I felt a person shake my arm, harshly. I opened my eyes and sleepily try to bat their hand away. Sasuke glared back at me "I could just leave you." I yawned and stretched. " Do you want to cook tonight or pick up food on the way back your house." Sasuke rolled his eyes "You do have your own apartment, why not just eat there." A smirk grew on my face " But then you would be lonely, and why type of friend would I be?" The boy's face grew in disgust "We are not friends, I simply tolerate your presence." Smiling i reply " Understandable."
The walk back to his apartment was silent and slightly uncomfortable. Sasuke stopped in front of the ramen shop and sat at the very far left end. I follow and sat next to the grumpy child. After a long and exhausting time trying to get a good conversation with him I decided to speak jovially with the Ramen shop owner,Teuchi. He was a kind and generous man, after the tragedy five years he has given us nothing, but smiles and coupons for more ramen. Of course those coupons might have been used mostly on me… Sasuke got up and gave a half caring goodbye. " Don't be late tomorrow." I smirk " Aww, you do care." I could hear him cursing under his breath as he stomped off. I ordered another bowl of Shoyu, As I waited for the food. Two familiar voices approached, Iruka and Naruto walked into the small shop. Teuchi greeted them with a smile and they sat down on the other end of the shop. Naruto looked away from Iruka and to me. Glaring at me he turns away from. Never had I done anything directly to the boy, I have always heard bad things being said about him. I didn't care about gossip, Truly it bores me to listen to all the hurtful things they can say. People can be cruel. I decided to give a small kind smile to teuchi and eat my third bowl of ramen in silence. After that I placed down money for both mine and Sasuke's earlier walk home was quiet and frankly lonely.
