CHAPTER 2: Mused

Everything swirled as my body went numb and i fell to the floor coughing and hacking trying desperately to get air back in my lungs. I couldn't abet the spinning of my vision as I collapsed, I placed a hand on the floor and grabbed my chest to try and calm my body down. I could hear the people around us murmuring something, it was just like the last school; I would have to fight in order to get a reputation around here... I was just about to stand and start fighting again when wouldn't you know it the two boys started to scream out in pain.

"Haven't I told you two to stop picking on the younger kids.." The teacher spoke in a cool and calm voice but it had a bit of a dangerous tone hidden in it.

I looked toward the omunus voice, my eyes were still blurry from the lack of oxygen, I squinted in order to get a better glimpse of the man talking. I tried to stand since I didn't really want to stay on the floor and be mocked as a floor lover. I walked to the source of the voice and when I was close enough to ask I was introjected by that same voice, it must have been for my swaying steps that made him question me first. I answered him in a husk voice and wanted to inquire his name I was once again interrupted but by a fimilar voice one I heard this morning. It belonged to my homeroom teacher Umino Iruka.

"Kakashi-sensei what are you doing to those two boys... and what on earth happened here. I want an explanation right n..." Iruka looks to naruto then me "Naruto and sasuke as well... just what is going on here?" Iruka moved over to naruto and made sure he was still alive then picked him up and motioned to me and the others behind me to fallow. I didn't think it would be a good idea to disobey this teacher so I complied with out compliant.

Moments later, after we stopped by the nurses office got naruto and my self checked out and leaving the dobe there we walked to Iruka's office in his classroom. He himself sat behind his desk waiting for answers; though the other teacher I presumed to be Kakashi-sensei stood in front of the door blocking the only escape for the two bullies but also seemed to be on trial here. Time passed and no one was talking, this undoubtedly irritated Iruka to all hells end, he finally broke.

"Will one of you tell me what was going on and why naruto is now unconscious in the nurses office. If no one starts to explain I will just have to punish all four of you no questions asked and yes Kakashi that four includes you." Iruka was not as mercifully as one might think upon first meeting him. The cats that held my tung finally released their hold and allowed me to speak freely.

"Iruka-sensei these two were picking on some younger students and naruto went to help the little brats out, they beat the crap out of him till he went unconscious, I asked them to take me to the nurses office so I could drop naruto off but they refused so I was going to force the information out of them. The one brother there" I pointed to the one with sandy blind hair. "Delt a suckers blow to me and then this other teacher came in and then you were there." I explained everything in my calm cool collected manor ever though i wanted to thrash out and beat the crap out of the brothers...

Iruka just stared at me, it was as if he could see the storm raging inside my cold eyes and i harden them so that it was no longer visible. Kakashi on the other hand hadn't made a single noise since he encountered Iruka in the cafeteria earlier. Iruka seemed to be mulling over the information that was just produced and then stood as if making his judgment sitting down would not make it clear enough.

"I see, thank you sasuke for co-operating. Since you are new and haven't actually done anything wrong you are free to go." Iruka sighed before he continued "as for you three do you have anything to add to this information or is everything correct. If so then you two boys will report to the principles office right now; I will met you both there in a few moments..." the two boys nodded and left Iruka looked to Kakashi " As for you I'll deal with you later on, hurting other students in not permitted now a days Kakashi-san."

I was still in the room but the two seemed to have forgotten I was there, so I made my self known to the two.

"Ahem, I don't believe Ii was introduced to you Kakashi-sensei." Once again point blank and no hesitation in any word spoken.

"I do believe your right... judging from your attitude you must be new around this school, also not knowing who I am confirms that speculation to a point of no question. I am Hatake Kakashi the gym teacher for the junior high and some of the senior high as well and you are?" He inquired and introduced at the same time, though Iruka answered as he ushered me out the door also trying to leave to head to his more pressing matter in the main office.

" Kakashi-sensei this is our schools newest student Uchiha Sasuke. He just transfered to our school from a privet school in the city. I was hoping that placing him with naruto would do both boys some good but it must have had the reverse effect this time. I had no idea that things would turn out this badly on the first day that you arrived here. I'm sorry Sasuke-kun." Iruka seemed to be talking to Kakashi one moment then to him self then to me. Never knew a person to do that all in one shot.

Maybe this school isn't going to be as bad as I generally though it would be. Lunch passed quickly and classes started once again; continuously meeting the other teachers and staff members. Thought not bothering to remember most the the names that I was told; weather it was a student or teacher who was talking to me i only mesmerized the one that would be important as the school year went on. It was finally the end of the day and I only had one class left and that was gym with that damn jerk Kakashi-sensei.

"So we meet again sasuke. I was told about you predicament and i would like to talk to you after class alright. No excuses for being late, I'm not as nice as Iruka-sensei is toward new students" A cold look was presented when our eyes met.

My mind ran through the different situations that could happen with that invitation, but decided to accept and not wanting the reparations to be my fault; rather all his if it could be helped. I nodded in response and went to start running with the rest of the class. We all ran for what seemed like hours then we were placed into groups of boys vs girls and a dodge ball game started till class finally ended. The class had more noise than just feet shuffling across a floor, nah instead we had music blaring though since i never listened to music while i lived with my parents i wasn't up on the names of the songs but i could get the lyrics down easily enough.

The hour had come when the bell rang to indicate that class was over and it was time for home. I walked into the change room to shower and change out of my gym clothes. Then walked over to Kakashi to find out what he wanted to talk about that was so important that i wasn't allowed to just ignore him about. I met up with him at the entrance to the gym and he motioned me to fallow him to the teacher lounge, and was surprised to find the principle waiting for us along with Iruka-sensei. We walked into the room and anyone who passed by that room would be able to feel the tension emanating like a think cloud of poison gas.

"Well we're here so lets get out of the way now rather than later okay Tsunade-sama." Kakashi's tone was pleasant but still held a spite of annoyance in it.

The female nodded in agreement to Kakashi's statement but had her hands clutched together as if preventing her self from throwing a punch at Kakashi. She looked at me and asked me to sit down in the chair in front of the coffee table; before she started her bombardment of questions pausing only momentarily to catch her breath and wait for answers that would seem reasonable to draw the right conclusion from. Most of them were about if I was able to support my self well enough with out my parents being able to back me up financially and morally be able to protect me from being bullied by todays society. My answers must have not been what she really wanted to hear because of what she said next.

"I believe it would be best for you to stay with someone who would be a good role model for you and since Iruka already has Naruto living with him; Kakashi should be the one to take on this role it would do him some good to have someone else living with him in that big empty house of his, so you'll be just fine at his place. And the courts would also agree with me if they found out that you were living on your own at such a young age. When you finish school you can leave his house if you so wish." Tsunade demanded instead of suggesting the idea to me and Kakashi didn't seem to like this idea either.

I was about to argue when I noticed that she had placed a court order on the table stating that I had to find someone I could claim as a guardian or I would be put into a foster home and not get a choice of who I lived with. So I kept my mouth closed and only nodded that I would comply with her terms but I wouldn't like it one bit. Kakashi on the other hand was not as submissive to this matter and voiced his opinion loud and clear.

" Tsunade you cant be serious about me taking some kid under my damaged wings. I have never been good with kids, and how do you expect me to take care or this brat when I can hardly a ford to keep my dogs in the house. You know how they hate others who they have never met in the house." Kakashi was definitely not pleased with how things turned out and would fight till he had no choice in the matter.

Fortunately that point came sooner than he was hoping as Tsunade gave him the reasons and reminded him of his past which must have been pretty harsh for he left in a hurry not waiting to see if I was fallowing or not. Iruka had fallowed after him as soon as the raging typhoon got up to leave. I looked for the teachers parking lot moments after the fight between Kakashi and Tsunade; after sometime elapsed while searching the massive school, I found it. I heard voices arguing outside the doors; moving toward them as quietly as possible as the ground would allow I found Iruka and Kakashi arguing about the situation that had just occurred.

"Kakashi please try and understand" Iruka's voice was pleading and compassionate toward Kakashi, who was grumbling and leaning against a car most likely to be his own.

To be continued.
