Red Thread Of Love: Chapter 1
The class grew silent as the teacher had an annoucement to make. ''Starting today, we're going to make a new classmate.'' he turned opened the door, and a light skinned, redhaired girl walked inside the high school classroom with a nervous expression.
She faced the class, and scanned everyone's faces and quickly looked away.
''Now, introduce yourself to your new classmates.'' The teacher ordered.
''I'M KUSHINA UZUMAKI!'' She blurted out, and noticed her enthusiasm was a little unneccesary and blushed while looking away in embarassment. Looking back at the kids, she saw all the weird expressions practically everyone gave her.
''What a weird kid, look at that hair!'' one of the kids whispered
''She seems like the obnoxious, loudmouth type.'' another classmate whispered
With a sigh, she hid her face in her hands ''It's the same here too, nobody likes me because of this stupid hair.''
''Hey Minato, she's a real brat. Don'tcha think?'' one of the boys whispered to a guy with spikey blonde hair.
His blue eyes blinked in confusion on why everyone was gossiping about her, she didn't seem weird in his opinion.
''You don't even know her, why don't you just stop spreading ridiculous rumors?'' Minato snapped with annoyance in a whisper back, causing the rest to grow silent. He glanced back at this Kushina girl, and couldn't help but notice how her red hair seemed to shine in the sunlight that shone through the classroom windows. In fact, everything about her he couldn't help but notice was beautiful. It began to irritate him everytime he continue to hear the other kids muttering things about her. It was rare for him to get angry, unless someone purposely did something to set him off.
Everyone knew Minato to be the calm and collected one in the class, nice, kind, smart, and good-looking. His smile was one to melt any girl's heart in an instant, although he never really seemed to pay attention to the way most of the girls looked at him or thought of him. He only seemed to really care about the people close to him, and his school grades which were always flawless.
As Kushina walked to her assigned desk, she noticed some blonde guy staring at her. She glared at him, and looked away before sitting in her seat. Minato couldn't help but let out a little chuckle at her sudden glare.
''Weirdo.'' She couldn't help but mutter the instant she sat down. Kushina sighed, and had her head down in her arms on the desk. She missed her old school, and she missed her old home. She actually had some relatives back where she used to live, but for some reason her aunt Mito dragged her over to some city called ''Konoha''. Now she had to go to this school where everyone looked at her like she was from another planet, not even 5 minutes in this school and she already hated it and everyone in it. The kids didn'tknow, but she could hear them making fun of her behind her back. Kushina closed her eyes and tried to hold back her tears.
It was lunchtime, and Kushina merely decided to go outside and sit under a tree until it was time to go back inside. She decided not to eat and merely remained there watching the other kids talking to each other while eating their lunches. The red-haired girl sighed, and sat back against the trunk of the tree and hugged her knees close to her.
''Pssst, hey!'' Someone suddenly called out from beside her, which startled her but she relaxed when she saw who it was.
''What do you want, Namikaze?'' She scowled and looked away, not really interested in what he had to say.
''I just wanted to say hello, since you looked lonely here all by yourself.'' his crystal, blue eyes blinked innocently with a small smile that formed.
Kushina stood silent from what he said, not exactly knowing how to respond. Stubbornly, she looked away and ignored his kind gesture. ''I'm perfectly fine by myself, I don't need your pity.''
Minato sighed, knowing she was lying but refused to give up until she showed him any hope of friendship between them. He pulled out a wrapped riceball from the pocket in his white sweater, ''Want some? I cooked them myself?''
''Not hungry, they're probably poisoning anyway.'' Kushina rudely refused, despite her growling stomach.
''You're a terrible liar, I know you're hungry.'' he chuckled, which irritated her even more.
''Yo, Minato get over here. We need to talk!'' One of his friends called out
''That sucks, I was really looking forward to talking to you some more.'' Minato said with disappointment,
''Guy needs to get a clue, I don't want anything to do wi-'' her mind's words were paused when she felt a kiss to her cheek by him, before leaving to go with his friends. Her heartbeat sped up rapidly, she was utterly speechless for the first time in her life. Heat rushed to her face and her cheeks were bright red from blushing.
She stood up on her two feet, clenching her fists and preparing to go over and give him a piece of her mind.
''That damn... urgh, I don't know what the heck his problem is.'' she mumbled to herself, she began walking over to him when she found herself pulled back.
''Oooo, uh-oh the tomato's mad. Everyone better watch out.'' a girl with short blonde hair had a firm grip, and pulled it back again causing her to wince from the pain.
''Let go of my hair!'' Kushina cried out, ''I didn't even do anything.''
''Don't give me the 'I didn't even do anything' story you little witch.'' She clenched Kushina's red locks even tighter, and as much as Kushina tried to resist, she couldn't endure the pain it was causing her.
''I'll give you a warning, stay away from MY Minato and I won't make your life a living hell.'' The blonde smirked, ''Not that your life isn't already mirserable with this ugly hair you have.''
Tears streamed down the Uzumaki's face, having dealt enough with these people who kept treating her like she was worthless.
''So we have a deal?'' The blonde released the grip on Kushina's hair, which she learned would soon be a mistake. A fist landed directly in her face, causing the blonde to fall back on the ground with a bleeding nose.
''You must be as stupid as you look if you think I'm going to let anyone push me around.'' Kushina bluntly stated, glaring at the blonde. The blonde glared back, and suddenly noticed the blood dripping off her face onto the grassy ground.
''You've... you've damaged my beautiful face...'' She quickly whipped out a pocket mirror to check her reflection and gasped at what she saw. Quickly she covered her nose, and got up off the ground.
''You'll pay for this, Tomato-face.'' little did the two know that now everyone outside with them witnessed the little scene that occured between them, which was basically Kushina punching the girl who's known as Arisa. Arisa has short blonde hair, with green eyes. She was also known as the popular girl who had a huge crush on Minato, so everyone except Kushina knew not to stand in her way. And little did Kushina know that the principal witnessed how Kushina striked Arisa.
''Miss Uzumaki, would you like to explain why you are causing fights on your first day at my school?'' Principal Hanami stepped forward from the crowd.
''I am so sorry .'' Arisa went up to the principal, ''I was just being nice to her since she's new here, and she just suddenly attacked me for no reason.''
Looking at Arisa who had an innocent look on herself, Principal Hanami looked back at Kushina before asking, ''Is this true?''
''NO! IT'S NOT TRUE!'' Kushina yelled in frustration, ''People here keep bothering me, not knowing how much it hurts to be treated in such a way...'' She covered her face to hide the tears that were possibly streaming down her face.
''She's lying, those tears are just there to make you feel guilty. I'm the one with the broken nose.'' Arisa said, regardless of most of her words being lies.
''Someone please escort her to the nurse.'' Principal Hanami ordered, and people did as she said. ''Miss Uzumaki, you're going to have to meet me in my office for detention.'' she said as she turned to Kushina.
Kushina took her hands away from her face, wiping the tear marks from her cheeks. Taking a deep breath, and letting it out, she nodded. ''Okay...'' then she was escorted inside the school, but before she went inside she stopped when she spotted Minato with his friends. Stepping up to him, Kushina shoved him to the floor
''Bastard...'' she muttered before going inside the building.
The young Namikaze boy blinked, realizing he was shoved on the ground for no reason he was aware of. His eyes widened when he saw how upset Kushina was as she went back inside the building.
''What happened?'' He asked in confusion, just now realizing the large crowd of kids in the area.
''Apparently Tomato-head got into a fight with Arisa.'' his friend Tsume chuckled, ''I have a good feeling who won too.''
''Did anyone even try to step in to help her?'' Minato raised an eyebrow as he stood up and dusted off his pants.
''Who? Arisa?'' Tsume asked.
''No, Kushina.'' Minato said.
''Who the hell is that?''
''The one we were just talking about.''
''You mean Tomato-head?''
''Her name is Kushina.'' Minato glared at him, not amused even the least bit.
''Whatever, everyone calls her Tomato anyway.'' Tsume rolled his eyes, ''Arisa's in the nurse, in case you wanna check up on her.'' the bell rung as a signal for everyone to go inside.
''I'm not really worried about her, she'll be find with that huge ego of hers.'' Minato said as they walked back inside the building, ''But what happened to-''
''She's in detention with Principal Hana-'' Tsume didn't get to finish his sentence before Minato stormed off to the Principal's office.
Once Minato got to the office, he kneeled down low and listened against the door.
''Why do I have to get all the blame? That... that girl started it.'' Kushina tried with all her might to contain he self-control.
''I doubt that, Arisa is a trustworthy, non-violent student. She would never harm another peer.'' Hanami said in denial.
''So you're taking her side over mine because you've known her longer than me?!'' Kushina asked in utter disbelief.
''No, what I mean is-'' Principal Hanami's words were paused when someone came through the door.
''Oh, . It's a pleasure to see you but could you come another time?'' Hanami asked.
Kushina clenched her fists at the annoucement of his name, knowing he was in the same room as her. Every since this school day started, he has gave her nothing but problems and hasn't even bother to atleast stand up for her when she actually needed to. Then he has the nerve to come in here and most likely make it worst.
''I'm here to tell you that Kushina is falsely being accused because she was only defending herself.'' Minato firmly stated, which caused Kushina's eyes to widen and turn her head to look at him.
''I don't need you to help me.'' Kushina glared at him, ''Go away.''
''Miss Uzumaki, don't speak to a peer in such a rude manner.'' Hanami disciplined, causing Kushina to sigh and turn around before crossing her arms.
''Whatever.'' She puffed her cheeks childishly.
Minato clenched a fist tightly at his side, he wish he could cheer her up in some way possible. But first, he should atleast attempt to get her out of trouble.
''Excuse me for coming too rudely , but shouldn't you make decisions based on the best interest of the students? It seems to me that you're taking the side of a student who constantly lies, and does despicable things behind your very back. And I'm not talking about Miss Kushina-chan here who has done nothing to have to get treated the way she does. Ever since she has arrived today, I've noticed constant kids making her feel uncomfortable yet no staff,aides, or any other adults here seem to notice it.'' Minato explained with a firm expression, not showing a hint of dishonest in his words.
Kushina uncrossed her arms and started listening more intently to the boy, but hung her head down while she sat in the chair opposite of the principal's desk.
''I understand what you're saying, but she could've handled it by telling us school staff about it before taking action on her own.'' Hanami stated before adjusting the glasses on her pale skinned face, ''She injured a student.''
Kushina let out a low, frustrated sigh, not being able to handle her temper.
''Why don't you ask that to Arisa, who purposely caused the fight by grabbing Kushina-chan by the hair in an attempt to hurt her.'' Minato furrowed his eyebrows, whilst crossing his arms and giving direct eye contact to the principal. ''I can prove my statement with several witnesses.''
Before the conversation began sounding like a detective's case, Principal Hanami let out a sigh of defeat. ''Alright, I'll let Miss Uzumaki off with a warning and speak to Arisa later.''
Minato grinned, knowing he manage to win against the Principal. ''Thank you very much.'' he bowed respectively then walked out the door.
Kushina gasped and went after him, managing to grab onto his arm before he walked away. ''Wait... why did you help me?'' she meekly asked, since the shy side of her managed to reach the surface.
''Because I can't stand seeing an innocent girl suffer, if you're going to be in our school you should atleast enjoy it.'' Minato said with a soft smile.
Kushina's cerulean orbs widened, then softened but her lips formed into a frown before she let go of his arm. ''Is there some real reason why you're being nice to me?'' She backed away from him, ''Most of the kids here just loathe me, and tease me for my oddly colored hair.''
''That's funny.'' Minato softly chuckled under his breath when he walked back towards her, to be only a few inches away from her figure. ''I actually think your hair is beautiful.'' he brushed a strand of hair away from her face, and caressed her cheek.
''Don't let anyone make you think less of yourself, because you're the most beautiful woman I've seen.'' he looked into her eyes, not noticing her racing heartbeat and the heat rushing to her face. Kushina was utterly speechless, once again this boy managed to leave her mesmerized.
''I have to go, so maybe we can hang out later?'' Minato took her hand away from her face, and gave her a sincere smile before walking off.
He left her standing there, while she still didn't know what to say. Her cheeks were bright red, once again. She put a hand to her chest to feel how fast her heart was thumping. A smile formed on her lips for the first time since arriving here.
