Chapter 1: "Opposite day!"
"Ha, ha, ha," Naruto and a girl his age were laughing their assess off. The girls eyes were big and innocent looking. They were never one solid color for a long time. Her eyes changed colors with her emotions. Her eyes were currently light brown. Her hair was naturally dark brown but was died to a dark purple. Her outfit was made up black pants, a red long sleeved shirt with a short-sleeved black shirt on top, a pari of black snowboarding goggles and her hair was always in a low ponytail. Her ponytail stops at her lower back. Her name is Kuri Yamanoko.
"I have to say Naruto-kun, we have out done ourselves this time," she said looking at their handy work.
"Yeah," I totally agree with you," Naruto said giving Kuri a thumbs up. They both started laughing again as they admired the graffiti on the Hokagaes' faces again.
"NARUTO, KURI. GET DOWN FROM THERE NOW," someone yelled.
"Uh-oh," they both turned around to see Iruka, the Hokage and more shinobi looking most deeply pissed.
"GET DOWN FROM THERE AND GET BACK TO CLASS," yelled Iruka again.
"Oh, no. It's Iruka sensei. We're soooooo screwed," Kuri said to Naruto. He just gulped and nodded his head. They next thing they knew they were tied up and being brought back to class.
"This is soooo unfair," Naruto said.
"Yeah, yeah," Kuri agreed.
"You two keep quiet till we get back to class," said Iruka threateningly.
"Hmph," Kuri and Naruto said sticking their noses into the air but stayed quiet. When they got back to class, Iruka dropped them onto the floor.
"Tomorrow all your classmates will graduate from the academy, but the last two times this day came around, you two flunked every class you'd taken in the secret arts. So you two chose now for your stupid tricks? Morons!" he was lecturing them, but they were not even paying him the slightest attention.
"Hey, Kuri-chan, how about we go for ramen later?" Naruto said to Kuri obviously ignoring Iruka..
"Yeah, that's a great idea Naruto-kun," she responded also not listening. Iruka did an anime fall.
"ARE YOU TWO EVEN LISTENING TO ME?" he asked
"Sir, yes, Sir," Kuri and Naruto said looking away. Iruka suddenly got this evil glint in his eyes.
"Fine, for your disobedience, today in class we will be reviewing the transformation jutsu," he said smirking. The whole class started to whine but lined up anyway. "All you have to do is transform into me," he said
"Next up Uzumaki," said Iruka
"This is all your fault," someone said to Naruto.
"Yeah, we wouldn't even be doing this if it wasn't for you," said another student.
"Yeah, yeah. Like I care," Naruto replied
"TRANSFORM!" he yelled. He transformed into a girl with no clothes on. Iruka's eyes practically popped out of his head accompanied by a nosebleed. Naruto changed back.
"Ha ha ha, that's my orioke no justsu. What do you think of it?" he asked while still laughing his head off.
"HOW BIG A FOOL ARE YOU?" yelled Iruka. "WASTING ALL YOUR TIME AND TALENT ON STUPID TRICKS!" Naruto just looked away.
"Next up Yamanoko," he said
"I'm not gonna do this," she glared at him and looked away.
"Hmm, what do you mean by that?" Iruka right eye twitched slightly
"I mean this," suddenly she made a run for an open window and jumped through.
"YEAH, that's a great idea!" Naruto yelled following her.
"Hey you two get back here!" Iruka was mad.
/I'll just deal with them later/ He continued to call names on the list.
... Later that day ...
"This sucks," Kuri said to Naruto.
"Yeah, I hate this," Naruto agreed.
"Come on you two hurry up. You don't leave until every drop of paint is gone!" called Iruka. He had found them after class at the Ichiraku Ramen bar. Where else? (Note the sarcasm)
"So? It's not like there is anyone at home waiting for us!" they both called back. Iruka suddenly looked a little sad.
"Naruto, Kuri," he called
"What?" they both said in unison looking up at Iruka.
"How about when you're done cleaning the Hokagaes' faces, I take you two out for some ramen?" he asked scratching his nose. Kuri and Narutos' faces brightened.
"Now that's motivation," yelled Naruto.
"Yeah, we'll have this done in no time," Kuri called.
... That night ...
Kuri, Naruto and Iruka all sat down at the ramen bar and ordered ramen. Once they got their ramen, Naruto and Kuri dug right in.
"Kuri, Naruto," said Iruka.
"Hmm?" they said.
"Why, would you choose, of all place, to deface the lord Hokagaes faces? I mean you do know who the Hokage are right?" asked Iruka.
"Of course," Naruto said.
"To inherit the Hokage name, you'd have to have been the best shinobi in the village," Kuri said.
"It was the fourth lord Hokage who saved our village by finding a way to defeat the demon fox," Naruto finished.
"So, then why?" Iruka asked
"Because one day I'll be called Lord Hokage," answered Naruto. "I'm going to surpass each one who came before me. And when that day comes, everyone in the village will have to give me some respect," he finished. Iruka just looked at him.
"Naruto, give it up. You know that will never happen unless you start to train more often," said Kuri
"HEY! I thought you said, you would encourage me through it!" yelled/asked Naruto
"I did and I still do, its just you've been spending so much time pulling pranks than training with me that I just don't know anymore," Kuri replied calmly eating more ramen.
"Whatever," he said turning away from Kuri and turning to Iruka. "Um Iruka sensei can I ask a favor?" he questioned.
"What?" said Iruka.
"Uh, your hitai-ate leaf headband, I was wondering if you would let me try it on," said Naruto. Kuri suddenly turned from her ramen.
"Yeah, can try it on after him. Pretty please?" she asked. Iruka glanced at the two of them.
"This?" he said shifting the headband slightly "oh no. You can't wear this until you graduate from the academy," he said with a smile
"That sucks," Kuri and Naruto said together.
"Is that why the two of you took off your goggles?" asked Iruka.
"I want more ramen!" Naruto and Kuri yelled together. Iruka just laughed at them.
... After ramen...
"Thanks a lot for the ramen Iruka sensei," said Kuri as she gave Iruka a big hug. This slightly startled him. Although he was used to Kuri giving him hugs, it still startled him because he didn't have any kids of his own. But he got over it quickly and hugged her back. She looked up at him and gave him a toothy grin.
"Yeah, Iruka sensei. It was great," said Naruto smiling.
"You're welcome. But you have to promise me that you won't deface the hokage faces again. Okay?" said Iruka.
"Ok," Naruto and Kuri said together.
"Good," Iruka said "Good night. And get home safely," he said as he stepped through his doorway into his house watching them walk away.
"Ok!" they called back to him. Iruka watched them till he could not see them anymore.
/I feel so sorry for those two. They must be really lonely. But then again they have each other/ thought Iruka as he turned around and closed the door to his house.
... With Kuri and Naruto ...
They walked side by side. Completely silent.
"I can't wait for tomorrow," said Naruto suddenly as he jumped into the air grinning like a madman.
"Oh yes you can. You need to train," Kuri said sternly.
"Ya know, sometimes I wonder who is older me or you," said Naruto as his happiness was sapped away.
"You are older, but only by a few months. But seriously, you need to train. What if to pass the test you have to do something like the bunshin jutsu? Then you're in big trouble.
"Whatever," said Naruto as he crossed his arms behind his head "The chances of that are so low, it's not even funny,"
"Believe what you wanna believe Naruto-kun. But don't say I didn't tell you so when it turns out that it is the bunshin jutsu that you have to do," Kuri nagged as she walked a little faster.
"Hey?"
"What?"
"Race you home!" yelled Naruto as he ran ahead of her.
"HEY! That's cheating," she yelled as she chased him back to their house.
They ran until they were finally near their apartment building. Naruto picked up speed.
/Oh no you don't Naruto-kun. I'm gonna beat you and lock YOU out of the apartment this time/ thought Kuri as she picked up speed as well. They were neck and neck. Then Kuri got a sudden quick burst of speed. She was now way ahead of Naruto. She got to the apartment building and turned around and smirked. She opened the door and walked in. Naruto's face clearly showed that he was desperate.
"KURI-CHAN, DON'T YOU DARE!" he yelled nearing the front steps of the building.
SLAM!. Naruto stopped and stood there dumbfounded.
/Why that little... I'll get her for this/ he thought
"Hey, Naruto-kun!" he heard Kuri yelling for him. He looked up to see her with her head out of the window with a huge smile across her face.
"Looks like I've finally beat you!" she yelled down to him.
"COME DOWN HERE AND OPEN THIS DOOR!" he yelled louder than necessary.
"After all the times you've locked me out. I should make you stay out there. But I'll come," she said looking at him.
"Good," he said then crossed his arms after watching her pull her head back through the window.
"Ok, you ready?" she asked him with head out the window again.
"Of course I'm ready. I'm still here aren't I?" he yelled. His anger building.
"You sure you won't drop me?" she asked a look of worry on her face.
/What the hell is this girl talking about/ Naruto thought.
"Yeah, I'm sure," he called back to her.
"Ok, here I come," she said she hoisted herself up and out of the window. She was falling.
/Holy crap, what the hell is wrong with this girl. Oh yeah, everything/ he thought answering his own question. She was almost to him now. He held out his arms and caught her, swinging around slightly like as if they were a couple, but only because he almost lost his balance. When he did finally get back his balance he was holding Kuri very close to himself because he knew if he dropped her, he would have to face her wrath. When they opened their eyes the noticed their face were extremely close.
/Our faces are so close, and is it just me or is the space between our faces getting smaller/ Kuri thought as she gazed into Naruto's eyes.
/Wow, I never noticed how beautiful Kuri is/ thought Naruto as he closed the gap between their faces.
/Wait a sec. I love Sakura-chan. Not Kuri-chan. She's practically the sister I never had/ Naruto suddenly pulled away and put Kuri on her feet.
"Don't do that without warning me first ok?" scolded Naruto as he tuned towards the door blushing.
"Um y-yeah," Kuri stuttered also blushing.
"Oh man, now how are we going to get in?" yelled Naruto regaining his usual goof-ball composure.
"Uh, um. Oh yeah, I brought the key with me," Kuri replied regaining her own composure holding up the key, then putting it into the key hole and opening the door. She walked in first, followed by Naruto. They walked in silence up the stairs to their apartment. Kuri unlocked the door with another key and opened the door to reveal a small apartment with two beds at either end of the room and a small kitchen area to the side. Their was a small door off the other side that led to bathroom.
"I call dibs on bathroom," yelled Kuri as she ran towards the bathroom.
"Wha? Hey no fair!" yelled Naruto
"Hey you kids keep it down!" Yelled someone in the next room banging on the wall.
"Why don't you try and make us!" yelled Kuri back as she walked out if the bathroom in a pair of flannel pants and a big red short-sleeved night shirt that said 'What the hell are you looking at' in big orange letters.
"Whoa, how did you get out of there so fast?" asked Naruto as he watched her walk to her bed and sit down.
"What? All I did was change. I didn't have to go to the bathroom so you can go on ahead in now," she said pulling a brush out of a box at the foot of her bed and putting her goggles away, undoing her ponytail and brushing her long hair. She stopped when she realized Naruto was staring at her.
"What? Is there something on my face?" she asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Um nothing, nothing," Naruto said quickly running into the bathroom.
/Now what was that all about/ Kuri thought looking at the bathroom door. /Ah well, I have a lot of hair to deal with/ she commenced her hair brushing.
/Man I can't believe I really was staring at her. Why? It's not like I like her or anything. Right/ Naruto was beginning to doubt his own thoughts. /No. There is no way I could possibly be beginning to like her/ he shook is head vigorously as he pulled up his night pants. Then splashed water on his face and drying his face off with his orange towel. On the towel rack, there also happened to be a black towel, with the letter K embroidered in the corner.
/Why does she even like that black towel? Why not a pink one like any other girl? She is such a freak, for a girl anyway/ He walked out of the bathroom and put his own goggles into the box at the foot of his bed. He looked up and noticed that Kuri was practically having a battle with her hair.
"You look so stupid," Naruto commented while laughing at her
"Oh, who asked you?" she replied "If you have so much free time that you can watch me struggle with my hair then why don't you come over here and help me?"
"Fine," Naruto got up and walked over to her bed and sat down behind her. "Here give me your brush," he took her brush from her and slowly started brushing her hair.
/Wow, I've brushed her hair before but, It seems so much softer and silkier today/ he thought as he held her hair in his hands and brushed it tenderly. When he finally finished he handed her the brush and moved to get up but was stopped by Kuri's hand on his own. He blushed.
"Um yeah?" he asked still blushing.
"Thanks for that. I don't know what I would do without you," she said quietly then suddenly pulling him into a hug. He did not move for a few seconds but then he hugged her back.
"No problem. And you wouldn't be able to live without me," he pulled her away from him while putting his hands on her shoulders and smirked.
"Oh, I'd probably live longer without you. Always stressing me out. I'm to young to get stressed," she said as she punched his upper arm jokingly.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," he walked to his bed and got under the covers while Kuri put her brush away. Naruto rolled over so that he was facing the wall. When he suddenly heard quickly moving footsteps.
/What the-/ He never got to finish his thought because the next thing he knew he heard Kuri, yelling.
"CANNONBALL!" she jumped on top of him and he shot straight up.
"WHAT THE HELL!" he picked her up, got out of bed and threw Kuri into her own bed. "What did you jump me-," the old men next door was banging on the wall again.
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU KIDS TO BE QUIET!" Yelled the old mean threw the wall.
"AND I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU, TO MAKE US!" Kuri yelled back. You could hear the old man mumbling loudly threw the wall
"What was that old man!" asked Kuri getting close to the wall. He didn't answer. Obviously not wanting to deal with the two of them so late at night.
"As I was saying, why did you jump me?" he asked looking at her quizzically.
"I'm sugar high," she said bouncing on her bed. Then she suddenly jumped off her bed and into Naruto's. "It's opposite day so I'm gonna sleep in your bed tonight and your gonna sleep in mine. Ok?" she said as she pulled his covers over her.
"No, not ok. Either you get out of my bed or I'm coming in there with you," he said as he sat on the floor.
"Why you evil, scandalous boy. How dare you defile the laws of opposite day. For this I declare opposite day to last for two days. So ha," she turned over in his bed and faced the wall.
/He wouldn't really get into the bed with me. Would he/ she thought. /No way. But maybe I want him to get in with me. WHOA what am I thinking. He's practically the brother I've wanted since I lost my older one/ She was surprised to feel the covers bring pulled down a bit and more pressure in the bed.
/Okay, so maybe he would/
"Hey, move over. This is still my bed you know," He said to her. She shifted so that he would have more room. There was about three inches between their bodies. "Night Kuri-chan," he said softly.
"Good night Naruto-kun," she replied. They closed their eyes and they both drifted to sleep.
