"...Soo did you guys know we're getting a new student today." An awkward silence engulfed the group of friends as the usually quiet Uchiha spoke. Eyes full of surprise and curiosity were on him and it was creeping him out. Not that he didn't like the attention he was receiving, he was an Uchiha and Uchiha's love to be marveled at. "What? I found out from that old hag of a principal" It took a couple of seconds for them to get over their initial shock.
"I-Its nothing, just that its usually Naruto who notifies us of new students." Kiba answered while pointing is thumb in Naruto's direction
"Yea teme that's my line!"
Sasuke quirked a perfectly thin eyebrow "Really dobe? I bet you didn't have one clue that we had a new student coming."
"...touche...teme" The blond haired teen pouted. Sasuke:55 Naruto:0
"Anyway its actually a couple of students according to the files in Tsunade's office" Sasuke finished his thought. Once again a silence flew over the group.
"You searched trough the principals files..impressive" Exclaimed Shikamaru who has been trying to do that for some time now and had failed every time.
"Now you wouldn't have to deal with Sakura alone right..." Chouji looked to the desk in front of him then to the classroom door that was now open " Ino?"
"Getting new students this far into the semester is highly unusual for KSA" Neji tried to figure out the reason for such a late transfer.
"It is...The only person who did transfer late like this was the legendary Aika, this schools best student, other than that you get rejected if you apply late." Garaa made himself known
"Oh! I remember she graduated 5 years ago right?" Naruto shouted
"Yes Naruto you are indeed right. Now, stop yelling in my ear or you will go missing for the rest of the day" Shino threatened
"They must be beautiful flowers with the youthful power to sing!" Lee jumped on the desk and strike a Gai pose only to get knocked off by a textbook aimed by the now arriving Kakashi.
"You people seemed to be having a good time while I wasn't here" His expression turned serious " Open your books and lets get cracking"
The class did what they were told. Nobody spared glance or bothered to help poor Lee who was sprawled out on the floor.
** ~H.H~~T.T~~T.S~**
Rattle, rattle…
Silence…
Pitter Patter…
A lonely soul sat in the pouring rain…chained down by her imaginary chains that seemed so real…The rain would pour as the chains would rattle and all would become silent before the cycle began again…Such a tedious life with no light...
"Ne are you okay?" A voice?
"Is she like us?" Another voice…Both sound worried.
Looking up, the soul sees darkness and nothing more…Her imagination?
"Come with us?" A light…Three girls with understanding faces and hands extended came into her line of vision "You must be very lonely by yourself"
"I am" Who's voice? Her own? She had a voice "So very lonely"
Two hands,she realized,was her two best friends. The other was a mystery. Unlike the two others this hand was a little pale and its fingertips held sky blue nail polish,something her friends never did. The hands remained extended and the smiles grow on the outline of their faces "You are like us…Come on, don't be scared…You don't have to be lonely anymore…Be happy with us and stop dwelling in this darkness…You're chains aren't real so just break them…Break them like we broke our own…Let's be friends"
Finally her chains broke and the rain stopped falling as the clouds in her world cleared to show radiant sunlight. That lonely feeling started to leave her.
"I'm so happy" It will never rain in her world again so long as she has them to support her…Which is forever… "Thank you…You made the rain finally stop falling"…
Hinata sat up with sweat glistening on her forehead…The same dream again? She had to admit it was beginning to creep her out…Her life wasn't that tragic was it? A snort to her left scared the living daylight out of her.
"I want that Pizza Tem!" A young brunette's voice echoed from the bed beside Hinata's own. TenTen was obviously dreaming of much less serious things like last night's dinner…That had a very messy ending. Chuckling quietly, she looked at the alarm clock and gasped.
"Kyaa" theblue-haired, pale-eyed Hyuuga jumped up and fell, sliding off her small, single bed. She had clearly forgotten that Rin signed them up for the most famous performing arts boarding school in Konoha. Today is their first day and school started at 8:00 it was now 9:00. She couldn't let her fall deter her at the moment…They were running late. Standing right back up, she glared at the clock as if it had insulted her and then sprang the curtains open "Wake up!" She yelled to her three room mates. The blond girl with four pigtails immediately sprang up from her bed in a panic.
"Hinata-chan what's going on? it's only-Kyaa" She also saw the time on the alarm and got up and ran into the kitchen to grab some breakfast, leaving Hinata to wake up the others.
"Wake up!" Hinata began shaking a drowsy Sai, whose bed was right beside her and the window. He began to groan and slowly rubbed His eyes "No time to be slow dude! We're late!"
"Really?" he got up and slowly walked to the bathroom without a care in the world. Hinata momentarily sweatdropped.
Deciding to leave him to it, she turned to the hardest task of all…Waking the heaviest sleeper among them…TenTen. Shaking didn't work; screaming in her ear didn't work either. There were two options left and Hinata tried out the second one. The first seemed to painful and foolproof. She picked up one of Temari's black heavy flip-flops and threw it hardly at the sleeping girl. A sudden movement from the brunette assured Hinata her method worked.
Now Hinata had to get herself sorted out too. Although how hectic and bizarre, this scene was normal for all of them. They were all the best of friends…Not one was closer to another than to the rest; all had the same amount of friendship towards each and every other one…Their bond was a powerful one. And why shouldn't it be? Those four had saved each others lives…If it wasn't for Rin, Sai, TenTen, and Temari; Hinata would still be living in her dark little world with rain and imaginary chains. The act was mutual. Without the others each person would surely be nothing but an empty shell.
The day they met it felt like an empty space had been filled. They were inseparable. Rin was their adopted mother, even when she was more like a sister than anything shes been taking care of them since they were little. Temari's family didn't want a girl heir so they abandoned her. Shes the oldest at 17 and the first to be adopted by Rin. TenTen was next being that she lost her family in a fire,she's also 17 but the second oldest. Sai, the only boy in the group, was a mystery. Rin said she found him in a alley way and he refused to tell his past, He's 16. Then you have Hinata. Her father told her she was too soft and gentle. He even said to her face she was going up for adoption she's 16 as well and is the youngest
After everyone was cleaned up and ate breakfast, they took their things they packed it into the black Lincoln navigator. Hinata carried her guitar case in her hands. She looked up into the beautiful clear blue sky. Kaa-san.
"Hinata-chan lets go" screamed Temari from the driver seat of the car "Were really late".
Putting her thoughts aside Hinata ran to the car and opened the passenger door to join Sai in the backseat. Temari drove off towards the school while TenTen read off information they will need "It says here that the dorm rooms are integrated. Sai you'll have to share a room with 4 other boys. Hina, Tem were sharing with one other girl. It seems as though our rooms are across each other."
"Oh great. I get too escape your mannish snores at night" Sai stated with a fake smile.
"You want to go pretty boy!" TenTen screamed Hinata could feel a fight brewing up
"Hey did you guys know that banana is a berry?" She asked. Her random question silenced the two as they thought hard about it. Great time to get some more sleep.

"Tsunade!" Ino busted trough the doors of the principals office " I demand answers!"
"Answers for what exactly Ino" Tsunade had a ton of papers to sort out and talking to a student that's suppose to be in class wasn't helping the situation.
"Are we really getting some new students?" Ino asked annoyed. But on the inside she was as happy as a bunny who found a carrot. What if some of the girls help her with this growing problem she has with Sakura? What if she finally finds some female friends that doesn't care about what Sakura says about her?
"Actually we are. All of them are here except for the four most important ones..." Tsunade spaced out momentarily "I wonder why?".
"Are they really that important?" Ino crossed her arms across her chest.
"They are the adopted children of Aika's sister Rin, and is said to have a good amount of talent" Tsunade looked at Ino whom was astonished "Does that answer your question?"
"Do you think they have a chance at becoming a legendary?" Her voice was only a whisper and her body was shaking with excitement if they had the potential that could rivals Sakura's they could be nominated and possibly kill Sakura's dream.
"I don't know. I guess well have to wait till the welcoming assembly"
"Thank you principal Tsunade" Ino smiled
"Now answer my question..How did you find out about the new students?"
"Oh. Sasuke searched your files" She smile
"Damned Uchiha" Tsunade mumbled
"I'll get going then" She opened the door and stepped out. Ino's hope was skyrocketing she couldn't help but smile to herself. I might finally have help!.she began to run to class before the bell rung.
** ~H.H~~T.T~~T.S~**
Hinata, TenTen, Temari and Sai arrived at the school and to say the main building wasn't enormous was the understatement of the year. Following the directions on the paper they were given they signed in to the dormitory which was on the left of the school building and got the keys needed to open their respective dorms. After unpacking they went to the school building to find the principal office hopefully without getting lost.
"According to the map the office should be around this cor..." Hinata was knocked to the ground by a very heavy ….girl?
The girl had blue eyes and long ice blond hair that was in a high ponytail. She wore jean Capri that stopped under her knee a v-cut blue t-shirt hung loosely over her upper body and black flats decorated her feet "Ohmigod! I'm so sorry" she pushed herself off the floor and helped Hinata up as well "I was rushing and I wasn't looking were I was going" Ino took this time to observe the four people before her.
The boy had black hair and equally black eyes but had unnaturally pale skin. He wore a fitted v-neck t-shirt with a white long sleeved shirt underneath. His hands were stuffed in the pockets of his baggy black pants and black sneakers. One of the girls had sandy blond hair in four pigtails and dark green eyes. She wore a pair of washed light blue skinny jeans a white graphic tee that says 'you said what?"in black she also wore a light blue jean jacket and black feminine combat boots. The other girl had brown eyes and brown hair in two Chinese styled buns. She had on Brown cargo pants with chains on the sides,a green t-shirt and male combat boots. The one she knocked over had white lavender eyes and midnight blue hair in a high ponytail, her bangs and strands of hair on each side of her cheek framed her face. She wore black cargo pants that hung low on her hip,a gray crop top that stopped under her bust hung off her shoulder with a black tank top under it and gray feminine combat boots.
"My name is Ino Yamanaka and I again apologize for this" Ino nervously smiled
"Its ok it happens. By the way I'm Hinata that's TenTen and Temari and don't be scared cause the boy who looks like a walking corpse is Sai" she pointed to each person as she said their name
Ino giggled "Nice to meet you all. Will you please excuse me I have to get to class" She waved goodbye and continued to run to class.
"Seems like we made a friend on the first day" Temari stated as they walked up to the office
"Tsunade is expecting you so go strait in" Shizune said as she smiled brightly. Following her orders they opened the door
"Ah. There you are I got worried something happened" Tsunade got up from her chair just as the bell signal started a new period "I'm Tsunade. Principal Tsunade to you, welcome to Konoha School of Arts"
"Nice to be here" Hinata answered
"You remind me so much of her" Tsunade muttered
"Eh?"
"I said here are your programs" Tsunade handed each one a piece of paper "I wont think its wise to go to your next class. They are holding a special assembly in the theater for the new students you should follow me there" Tsunade walked by the group and they followed. Lets see how much of Aika rubbed off on you Hinata...
