Konoha High School: The Exchange Students
Chapter 1: The New Students
It was a bright and early May spring day, where nothing had woke up. Well that was what one would have thought. But unfortunately the peacefulness was shattered by a loud, piercing fifteen years old cry.
"Kuso! What the hell was that for Ky?!"
"Chill, Ashi. It got you up didn't it? And you forgot that we're starting school today." Replied the calm but sneaky redhead.
Whilst happy that Ashi was up at last, the last inhabitant of the house wasn't very pleased that it had taken two hours and three buckets of freezing cold water to wake the silver haired teenager up. Glancing sideways at the clock, Ty sighed then called up the stairs.
"Shut the hell up both of you. Ky, get your bag and coat then come down. Ashi, just hurry up please. We have thirty minutes to get to school."
Footsteps sounded from the younger teen's room as Ky pulled her coat on and picked her bag then jumped over the banister, landing next to her two minute older twin. About ten minutes later, the youngest teen arrived at the foot of the stairs.
Ty sighed, looking at them both with a frown.
"You're never going to learn, are you? Come on, let's go."
Fishing a set of keys out of his jean's pocket, the black haired Sharingan user walked to the door and out to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. After seating himself in the driver's seat, the van started with a low roar then he waited for the other two as they jumped into the van.
"I call shotgun!" Ky called while jumping into the front passenger's seat. After strapping herself in tightly, the red headed Kunoichi turned to gaze back at her friend. "What is the matter, Ashi-kun?"
"I don't know…but something's wrong back in England." The silver haired teenager muttered quietly, playing with a necklace that had the Kanji for Peace on it.
Suddenly, the Kanji started glowing as a tall, blue haired young woman appeared on the floor. She sat with her legs folded facing Ashi and Ky, who had climbed over into the back.
"Greetings Ashi-san, Ky-chan and Ty-san. I apologise for the unexpected entrance but your English friend is in danger." The young woman spoke calmly, eyes scanning the pair.
Both stared at her speechlessly. Then Ty answered her quietly. "Konan-san, thank you for telling us this now but why don't you say it in school?"
Having guessed that they would ask that question, Konan leant against the seat and glanced over to where Ty was watching her. "Lou-san is hiding under the Sakura tree in near reception. Itachi, myself, Sasori, Kisame and Deidara are there with her." She sent an amused glance at Ty, having just realised that the van had stopped. "Why have you stopped?"
The black haired Firesword clan leader smirked as he jumped out and locked the door. "We're here."
Konan disappeared chuckling as the other two got out of the van and Ty locked it up. By then people had started to gather around the three teenagers and the van. Since they were used to being new, the twins and Ashi walked through the gathering then stopped near a blonde haired, loudmouth boy.
(Gaara's Point Of View)
Naruto jumped, having not sensed the newcomers approach him. I smirked then tilted my head at Shukaku's musings.
'Oi, kid!'
'What?!'
'That boy with silver hair. Talk to him. He's got a wolf demon within him and he's an n…!'
Someone cut him off and I turned, trying to keep my emotionless façade up but I wasn't successful. The 'someone', who had cut my inner demon off was no more then a mere dark green haired teenage girl. Having noticed this, my sand didn't try to attack her when she placed a light hand on my shoulder whilst she stared in my direction with eyes that I couldn't see.
My demon stirred faintly, as if someone was calming him down. Then he spoke gently into my mind.
'She's returned… after all these years...My best friend.'
Now curious, I looked at the green haired stranger since Shukaku rarely ever spoke about his past.
'Shukaku… Who is she?'
'Her name is Lou and I met her when I was four. She had the ability to talk to and calm down me and the other demons.'
'So is she a demon?'
'No… Lou is a fallen human. When she was born, she was the same as you but that changed when she was three years old.'
'What happened?'
'I can't tell you. But listen; see if you and your friends can help her. Lou can talk but she prefers not to, she's blind in her right eye and can't walk properly. So please keep an eye on her.'
(Normal POV)
Feeling a tap on their shoulders, both Gaara and Naruto turned. One turned with an emotionless smirk, having noticed the people behind him while the other turned with a scowl.
Then the blonde haired Kyuubi container growled. "What the hell do you want Teme?"
Smirking with his eyes on the green haired girl behind Gaara, the younger Uchiha spoke with a confident and rather sarcastic tone. "I want my new girl."
The three newcomers, Gaara, Naruto and the Akatsuki, who had walked over, full out glared at him. Then a quiet voice spoke through the wind as it picked up.
"Yours am I now?"
Sasuke stepped closer to her, ready to claim his prize.
"Yes you are."
But the green haired teenager slowly opened her eyes and glared at him. Her eyes were black with a silver pupil.
"Nice. But I don't like chicken ass haired people, who think that they can own every girl. So I am not yours nor will I be. Now scram, before my friends decide to kick your butt."
Sasuke and the rest of the Popular group just stared at the dark green haired teenager as she smirked then turned to the others in the group. Suddenly a shout could be heard over the whispers of the crowd.
"What the hell do you think you lot are doing?! The warning bells have both gone as well as the registration-!" the voice belonged to that of Tsunade, current Hokage of Konoha and also the head teacher of the Academy.
After hearing their Hokage's voice, the entire school quickly parted so that she could come up to the group.
When Tsunade recognized the strangers, she smiled then looked at Gaara with slight shock and surprise before turning to the rest of the school. "Alright, since it's the first day back and I know that the teachers are in shock due to our new students.
I officially say that for the next two days, we will be having a relaxed time. But first, let me welcome the English band called Silent Thriller."
The masked ninja and English teacher, Kakashi walked up next to Tsunade while the other teachers followed him then he smiled. "The band is made up of four people and they are standing in front of us."
Tsunade took over then. "Once they have been introduced, they have offered to play us two songs. So Lou, Ashi, Ky and Ty welcome to Konoha High School."
Ty glanced at Ky and Lou as the silvery black eyed teenager muttered something in a unknown language. In minutes all the students from Konoha High noticed that they were sat in a massive concert hall, in front of a stage. None of the teachers were near them so the students chatted until the lights went out and everyone fell silent.
A single spotlight fell on Ky then Ty played the introduction on his keyboard then he started the song.
Ty: She walks to school with a lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holding back;
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday,
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace;
oh
Ky: The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask,
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask;
Bearing the burden of a secret storm,
Sometimes she wishes she was never born; Both: Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.
Concrete AngelSomebody cries in the middle of the night,
The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights;
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate,
When morning comes it will be too late.Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.A statue stands in a shaded place,
An angel girl with an upturned face;
Her name is written on a polished rock,
A broken heart that the world forgot.
Concrete Angel
Through the wind and the rain,
She stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above;
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved.
Concrete Angel
After the ending had died down, the students clapped until Ky started to speak.
"We first heard this song being sung by a green haired 10 year old, in a disused music room. She didn't think that anyone knew what was happening but Ty guessed. Silent Thriller formed a month later. So we present our very own wind singing specialist, Lou."
The shadows parted and Lou walked over to Ky, a black sword shaped guitar in her hands. A gentle breeze flowed around the mute teenager then her gentle, lilting voice spoke quietly through the breeze.
"Hello to all you girls and guys out there. I am the singer of Silent Thriller and we all hope that you'll have a good time today. This next song is for the people who never gave up on me. But this is mainly for the one who never forgot me even though his time of imprisonment…my best friend.
A demon who protected and cared for a muted angel."
Placing the guitar against herself, she played the introduction then started to sing.
When every moment gets too hard
End of the road can feel so far
No matter how much time we're apart
I'm always near you
(Ashi and Lou)
I'll be the shelter in your rain
Help you find your smile again
I'll make you laugh at a broken heart
Wherever you are
'cause I'm never gonna walk away
If the wall comes down someday
All alone and you feel afraid
Be there when you call my name
You can always depend on me
I believe until forever ends
I will be your friend
So many people come and go
But nothing can change the you i know
You'll never be just a face in the crowd
And time will show
Through the seasons and years
I will always hold you dear
Never you fear
'cause I'm never gonna walk away
If the wall comes down someday
All alone and you feel afraid
Be there when you call my name
You can always depend on me
I believe until forever ends
I will be your friend
I'll be your rock when every candle burns down low
And I want you, I want you to know
'cause I'm never gonna walk away
If the wall comes down someday
All alone and you feel afraid
Be there when you call my name
You can always depend on me
I believe until forever ends
I will be your friend
'cause I'm never gonna walk away
If the wall comes down someday
All alone and you feel afraid
Be there when you call my name
You can always depend on me
I believe until forever ends
I will be your friend.
Lou went over to the other three and they spoke for a few minutes then she walked down the steps, towards Gaara and his friends whilst carrying her guitar. The mute teenager grinned as she stopped and lifted her guitar to her shoulder.
Ky and Ashi went to their respective instruments whilst grinning. The three on the stage started to play the introduction to the song. Soon Lou added her guitar and all of them began to sing.

(Here Is the English version)
All day yesterday
My cellphone's call signal kept going off
An out-of-tune fuzz guitar
In a strange park
On my motorbike, oblivious
Overtaking the wind
The crescent moon is history
Above me
The earth is my goal line
The dogs and the lions
Are all moving on to Venus
It's kind of annoying
A yellow moon. Keep on counting
To three, and open your eyes
Shadow moon
Still dreaming
Look in my eyes, look in my eyes
As we stand with our backs to each other
Look in my eyes and tell me, yes or no?
Every day every night
I want to tell you right now, with words of love
About my love for you
Every day every night
With an ordinary signal
I want to tell you about this feeling that's out of control
Feeling fine, with you this time
Holding each other in a golden church
Yellow moon
As the moon wanes in the night sky
It shines with a serene smile once again tonight
Look in my eyes, look in my eyes
As we stand with our backs to each other
Look in my eyes and tell me, yes or no?
Every day every night
I want to tell you right now, with words of love
Every day every night
About my love for you
Every day
A yellow moon. Keep on counting
To three, and open your eyes
Shadow moon
Still dreaming
Look in my eyes, look in my eyes
As we stand with our backs to each other
Look in my eyes, when will I see you again?
Every day every night
I want to tell you right now, with words of love
About my love for you
Every day every night
With an ordinary signal
I want to tell you about this feeling that's out of control
A magic code change
In this sleepless town
A jazz guitar playing a soft minor
That changes every day
Lou looked up at the stage and nodded to Ky, who grinned then spoke clearly.
"Now, have any of you noticed that your teachers are missing?" She scanned the students then smirked.
"Well Lou, it's up to you and Ashi now." After that, Ky and Ty walked through a door and left the other two.
Ashi gave Lou his signatory smile as she jumped up onto the stage beside him. Then his voice echoed around the hall.
"Are you guys and gals ready to dance?!" After the loud reply by the students, the two teenagers smiled as the hall changed into a dance party.
Disco dancing with the lights down low
Beats are pumping on the stereo
Neighbors banging on the bathroom wall
Your sayin' crank the bass
I gotta get some moreWaters runnin' in the wrong direction
Got a feelin' its a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Summit funnies goin' on inside my mind
Don't know what its pushin' me higher
Its the static from the floor below
Then its drops and catches like a fire
Its a sound I, Its a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
Its the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
Chain reaction running through my veins
Pumps the bass line up into my brain
Screws my mind until I lose control
And when the building rocks I know Its got my soul
Waters runnin' in the wrong direction
Got a feelin' its a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Summit funnies goin' on inside my mind
Don't know what its pushin' me higher
Its the static from the floor below
Then its drops and catches like a fire
Its a sound I, Its a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
Its the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
I don't know what it's pushin' me higher
It's the static from the floor below
And then it drops and catches like fire
Its a sound I, Its a sound I
Its a sound I, Its a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
Its the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
