Nightmare

8 years old

Liana was running and running through the forest when a shuriken hit her thigh but she didn't scream out for she learned not to and to be quiet. She fell to the ground clutching her thigh as three shadowed figures surrounded her.

"Looks like we found our runner," one said as she looked up at the person.

"Looks like it," another said as he reached out and grabbed her.

"What do we do with her," another one said.

"Let's see how she can swim," the figure who held her said as they started walking over to a river.

"Let's see daddy's girl swim," he said as he threw her into the river.

End nightmare

Liana woke up and held her neck as if she was drowning. She breathed heavily and looked around to see she was in her room.

"Why do I keep having the same nightmare," she said as she started to calm down a bit.

She got out of bed and opened the curtains to her room to let the sun in. She looked out at all the buildings of the Leaf Village, each one colorful and of different heights while the smell of her ink bottles took over the scent of her room.

"Alright, better get ready," she said as she walked to her closet, picked out her clothes and set them on the bed. She took her pajamas off and put the new clothes on. Her new clothes were a dark blue skirt on top of black pants with a white tank top and black fishnets on underneath with her blue fingerless gloves. She then strapped on her shuriken pouch and tied her headband around her forehead. She then brushed her hair and let it stay down for today. She walked from her room to the kitchen.

"What do I want to eat now," she said as she looked through her cabinets.

She finally settled on a bowl of random cereal, poured it into a bowl and poured some milk. She grabbed a spoon and started to eat the cereal while she was walking over to the table and sat down. She finished eating the cereal, walked over to the sink and set it in the sink.

"Alright, time to get to the academy," she said as she walked to the door and put her black flat shoes on.

She grabbed her pen and book that was on a small table next to the door and walked out the door. She shut the door behind her and walked to the academy. She was walking when she heard something that sounded like a train behind her. She turned to see two girls were running neck and neck with each other in her direction. She was about to jump out of the way when she felt someone grab her and pulled her out of the way while she dropped her book and pen and the girls ran past her.

"Thanks," Liana said as she looked at the person who caught her was a genin with pale lavender eyes and long black hair pulled into a low ponytail.

"Your welcome but don't always count on someone coming to rescue you, you looked pretty weak," he said.

"Weak, that is one thing I am not, I was about to jump out of the way but you grabbed me before I could," she said as she bent down to pick up her pen.

Liana saw that her book was opened to a detailed drawing of her in pain and tears.

"Is this you," he asked as he picked up the book.

"Yes, I mean no, give that to me, that book is my life. Well, I am Liana by the way," she said.

"Neji," he said as he handed her the book.

"Alright, I guess I will see you around," she said as she grabbed the book and her hand brushed against his.

She walked away from Neji and then started to run to the academy.

Neji's POV

Neji watched as Liana started to walk but then started to run for the academy.

Who is that girl

Neji looked down at his hand that brushed her hand.

*Nonsense, I have to get to training*

Neji walked in the opposite direction to meet with Lee, Tenten and Gai sensei.

Liana's POV

Liana arrived at the academy and walked inside. She walked to the classroom and walked in to see there was a giant crowd around a desk.

What is going on

Liana walked over to see a blonde boy wearing orange and blonde hair was on a desk with his face inches from a boy with black raven hair. She sat at her desk in front of the crowd next to another boy. She was writing and drawing in her book when the two boys she as sitting next to, one of them bumped the blonde into the raven. She looked to see they were both kissing. She drew the picture as fast as she could and was able to draw it completely. She colored in the black parts with her pen and wrote what was happening.

This book is my life, literally. This book holds almost every moment I lived including my past

Liana watched as the crowd of girls beat the blonde to a pulp. She looked at the blonde to see he was beaten up pretty bad sitting behind her.

"Alright, class, today you will all be divided into squads of three. Since there is one more, that person will occupy a squad until their sensei arrives. Now let's begin," Iruka said as he read the list of names.

Great, I wonder who that lucky person is

"Squad seven, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno" the blonde behind her is cheering while a girl with pink hair sitting next to him was sulking "Sasuke Uchiha" blonde sulks and pink head cheers while the raven boy did not respond at all

Man, what is with this guy

"and Liana Parisian will be joining you three. Her grades have far exceeded everyone's grades even Sasuke's," Iruka said as Liana felt everyone looking at her.

Liana looked to see that the raven boy was also looking at her but more with a death glare of some sort.

"You will all meet your senseis after lunch. Until then, I will see you all later," Iruka said as many people left the room.

Liana left with the crowd, grabbed some lunch and walked up to the roof. She sat on the roof and ate her lunch as she was writing in her book. She was starting to draw an image of Neji when she felt someone was staring at her. She looked to see Sasuke was staring at her, again.

What is with this guy?

Liana was about to yell at him when he was pulled into the window behind him. She heard some rustling and the window opened. Sasuke was the one that opened the window but he didn't look like Sasuke. She watched as he left.

Wonder where Sasuke is...

Liana jumped down to the window and opened it while she jumped in. She saw Sasuke was just untying himself.

"So, did Naruto catch you off guard," she asked.

"Yeah," he said.

"Guess I'll leave you alone so you can hunt him down," she said as she turned to leave.

"Wait," he said as she turned to face him and he stared at her.

"Is something wrong," she asked.

"No," he said.

"Alright, I'll be off then, see you around," she said as she jumped out of the window and walked to the classroom.

I wonder why he wanted me to wait for him, oh well, nothing I should worry about. I need to worry about who my teammates will be and what they are like.

Liana walked into the room, sat down at her seat and started to draw Sasuke then Naruto. She tend to draw every boy she meets and never other girls. She was halfway done when she felt someone was looking over her shoulder. She looked to see it was Naruto.

"Hey, nice drawing of me," he said as he smiled.

"Thanks, you will especially love this drawing," she said as she flipped to the drawing of him and Sasuke kissing.

"WHAT, you drew that, how could you," he said as she looked around the room to see no one else but her and squad seven were there.

"Where is everyone else," she asked.

"Left with their new senseis, you didn't hear them come and go," he asked.

"No, I didn't," Liana said as she flipped through her drawings to the drawing of her alone in a corner with the shadows of three figures towering over her.

Damn, not this one...
