For When Wishes Come True

In the middle of the night, a shooting star brightened the sky. On the ground, people stared in awe at the sight above them. In homes, children wished upon the star. Only two of those wishes would come true.

Beep beep beep beep! An alarm clock went off at exactly 5:50 AM, only to be hit by a pillow thrown across the room. Pulling the covers off, a girl crawled out of bed, her blue hair covering her face. Sliding her feet along the floor, she slugged over to her closet. Swwwwish. The closet door opened smoothly and fluid, revealing hangers with clothes on them. Blue, green, red, orange, multi-colored, striped, polka-dotted, clothes of all shapes, designs, and colors hung from the ceiling; amounting to the other objects in the closet, creating a giant mess.

"7:00 mom! Time to wake up!" A girl's voice called down the hall. Groggily climbing out of bed, the girl slid over to her beach rocking-chair and sat in front of the computer. Safari opened up and the girl started to read her favorite fanfics. Click! The computer screen stopped glowing and went dark.

"NO!!!!!!!" Fists pounded the table, objects bounced to the floor. "I can't believe it! WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?! WHY DID IT GO BLANK!?!?!?!? WHY!?!??!" The girl screamed. A reply floated down the hall.

"SAYURI YUKI! Be quiet!" Sayuri closed her mouth. Her brother Austin added a sentence of his own.

"Ya! Shut up you stupid head!" Popping her head out of the door, Sayuri stuck her tongue out at her brother and rolled her eyes.

As rain poured down, Sayuri was standing outside the teal gate when she saw her old friend Ayako getting dropped off to school.

"Ayako!" Sayuri ran across the muddy ground, soiling her new shoes. She gave her friend a hug, Ayako returned it.

"Hey, Sayuri," a curious look from her friend told her to call her by her nickname, "Sorry…Kimi, call me Aki please. Everyone else does." Sayuri nodded. As the two broke away from their hug, they started to walk towards the school.

"Aki…Did you notice that something seems different here? I mean, something changed overnight!" No reply from her friend. "Really, something seems different. Doesn't it? Our names, they're not…not…what they were before. And, now that I think of it. The school looks different too…." Sayuri continued. Ayako put her arm out to stop Sayuri from walking any farther.

"Stop… Everything is different. And, I think the school bell just rang. So, I suggest…. RUN FOR IT! I'M NOT GOING TO BE TARDY ALL BECAUSE OF THIS!!!" A yell escaped Ayako's mouth. Both Sayuri and Ayako scampered to their class….

Chapter One:

Taking a leisurely stroll through the hallways, Kakashi once again passed his classroom without noticing it. Even the yells coming from inside didn't make him notice, even when threats started to pour out of the room. Hands clamored for him when he stood outside the door, he just brushed them away like they were pesky flies. Soon he started down the hallway again.
"We're going to be late! Hurry up Kimi!" A voice cried. CRASH! Looking down Kakashi could see two girls sliding to the floor. The girl with the raven black hair, and eyes that were different shades of blue, was rubbing the bruise on her arm. The other girl, her hazel eyes peered up at him, her blue hair strewn across her face, she was getting up.

"Hello there girls. You do know that you'll be in trouble if you're tardy." Blushes crept across the faces of the two girls. The girl with black hair stammered to make a comment, while her friend had already thought of one.

"Um…We were just wondering if you could show us the way to Pre-Algebra, a.k.a Accelerated Math." Kakashi stared at them for a minute with a look of confusion on his face.

"Well, may I know your names first? I mean its only common courtesy." He reached down to help the black haired girl up.

"Well, I'm Sayuri and this is my friend Ayako. She likes to be called Aki and I like to be called Kimi." She said as she pointed to herself and her blue-haired friend.

"Ok then Kimi, Aki. Just to tell you… I'm your teacher for Pre-Algebra?, and, you're late to class. But, I'll just give you a warning. Next time, you'll have to survive one of my many training sessions!" Both girls stared in aghast.

Sayuri started to stammer, "W-w-what? Training? But… That's dangerous!"

"It's dangerous? Seriously? It can't be that bad! Maybe I'll be late again!" Sayuri rolled her eyes at Ayako. "What? It seems fun!" Ayako punched Sayuri lightly in the arm.

"Girls, let's go to class. Ok?" The two girls followed Kakashi into the classroom. As they walked in they were greeted by murderous glares of kids who been impatiently waiting for Kakashi to appear for the last twenty minutes. Someone mouthed 'what took you so long?' and another kid mumbled "If that ever happens again…" but didn't say the rest. Stumbling to her seat out of nervousness, Sayuri sat down next to a blonde haired boy, and a pink haired girl. Meanwhile, Ayako calmly walked to her seat, which was next to a boy with black hair in a ponytail, and a girl with short purple-black hair.

"Class…Sorry about that," more glares shot towards Kakashi, "I just stumbled upon two more of your classmates. Girls, please come up here." Ayako smoothly slid out of her seat and walked to the front, Sayuri jumped out of her seat and ran up; still nervous. "Well, how about you introduce yourselves?" A nudge from Ayako told Sayuri that she would be going first.

"I'm Sayuri…Yuki… But, you c-c-can call me Kimi…E-everyone else d-does." She paused for breath. But a whisper in her ear told her to tell more about herself. "Um… I-I live with my m-mother and brother and… Uh….u-uh…Ya…" A kid in the front of the room loudly commented:

"Oh great! Another Hinata!" Nervous laughter was heard throughout the room. Hearing this remark, Sayuri got ready to punch the kid, but a boy with black hair stopped her.

"I think that you should do that later Kimi… And I'm sure that a bunch of us would love to help you." Nods of approval went around the room like ripples. "Who's your friend?" Ayako stepped to the front of the room.

"I'm Ayako Kasumi. But everyone who knows me calls me Aki. I would very much appreciate it if you would do the same…. I, um… Live with my mom and dad." Here, she stopped and looked down. One kid with long dark brown hair shot her a cruel look. Turning their heads, the two girls looked at Kakashi to see what to do next.

"Kimi, Aki. Please go back to your seats, we have to start class." He turned to face the whiteboard and began to write; Kimi and Aki shuffled towards their seats. "You two girls joined class at the right time! Starting today, you will have sparing partners that are with you for the rest of the semester… And if you work well together, you'll be partners for the rest of the year." As Kakashi said this, kids face's turned towards the people they wanted. But Kimi and Aki didn't look at each other. Instead Kimi looked at Shikamaru, who was staring at his desk, dozing off. While Aki looked at Naruto, who was staring at Sakura, both girls shared a look of disgust. Squeak! Kakashi finally finished writing 'Sparing Partners' on the board, and underlined it, the red writing standing out. "Ok… Just warning you, you may not like your partners… I don't care what you think, or say, or try to do. I value teamwork over everything. So you had better start liking your partner!" Faces were in utter shock.

Everyone turned towards the board. "Stand up everyone," the class obeyed, "And go stand on the south side wall." The class followed instructions. "Once I call you and your partner up, go outside to the field." Nods from the students. "Here we go…." A pause, "Sasuke, Sakura you two are partners! Go outside!" The ashen faces of the other girls (excluding all the girls who had no feelings for Sasuke,) followed the pair out the door. Only Sakura's face was lit with joy, and Sasuke had an annoyed look on his face. A murderous glare from Sasuke was shot toward Kakashi; he just smiled in response behind his mask. "Naruto… Hinata! Outside!" The two went outside, both of their faces blushed. "Next… Ino, and Rock Lee! GO!!!!" Rock Lee jumped up and down, the whole class turned to face towards him, with relieved faces; Ino, well, her face was hidden behind her hands. She scurried out the door and Rock Lee excitedly followed. Minutes flew by and the only students left in the room were Aki and Kimi. Both were overjoyed at their luck.

"Kakashi?" Sayuri commented, Kakashi looked up from "Paradise Island".

"Yes Kimi?"

"Well, did you put together pairs… Like-" She continued before she was interrupted by Ayako.

"Like matchmaking, right?" Aki said. Kakashi looked at them for a minute.

"You two girls are very bright! Now… Go outside. Tell everyone to start sparing." Kakashi pointed to the door. "Oh, and by the way… You two are partners if you didn't guess already." Both girls bowed their heads and raced out the door, through the deserted hallway, and out onto the field.
