A/N: I Would like to thank the-wandering-scribe for being my first reviewer. Thank you. ^_^

Again, I would like to point out that I wrote this in 8th grade and didn't bother to change any of it.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything Naruto related.


Kagura just stared at Itachi. He had dark hair and ridges on his cheeks. What was most captivating was his eyes. They were red except for a black pupil and three black commas.

"Hi," he said. "I'm Itachi. You're Kagura, right?"

"Yeah," she said, still staring at him.

"What? Do I have something on my face?"

"No, I was in a daze. That kinda happens a lot."

"Well, I have to go," he said, getting up. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow, Kagura."

"Bye, Itachi," she said, as he left.

He looked back and smiled at her, then walked away.

After school, Kagura walked to Arisa's house with her.

"I felt all nervous when that boy was talking to me," said Kagura, as she skateboarded over a puddle.

"You said he was gonna be in your class tomorrow, right?" asked Arisa.

"Yeah."

They didn't say anything the rest of the way to Arisa's house since Kagura was in a daze.

"Oh, Kagura," said Arisa's mom. "I take it you're staying over again?"

"Yeah," she said.

"Won't your aunt and uncle be worried about you? You've been here for a while."

"Oh, they said it was fine, but you don't want me here, do you?"

"No, no, no. It's been great having you here. And Arisa's been happier since then. You can stay as long as you want."

"Thanks, Mrs. Hiromi."

Kagura and Arisa walked to their room. Arisa, who was on the bottom bunk, started her homework. Kagura just climbed up to the top bunk and started to draw Itachi's eyes.

I wonder why they were like that, she thought. Maybe they're contacts?

"Hey, Kagura?" asked Arisa.

Kagura looked down at her and said, "What's up?"

"Why did your aunt and uncle let you stay here? They hate me."

"They hate me more. They were glad to get rid of me. I kept getting blamed by them because they didn't wanna take care of me. So no matter what I did, they would get mad at me. All they cared about was themselves and me so-called perfect cousin, Nara. I hate her. She got an A, I got a B. I get in trouble. She says her school is better than ours. May aunt tries to transfer me to her school. Nara pushes me down the stairs, I get yelled. I'm glad you let me stay here."

"Now, I know why you never wanted to talk about your past. Let's talk about something less depressing. How about Itachi?"

Kagura quickly pulled herself up and hid her sketch book under her pillow.

"So, what about him?"

"You like him, don't you?"

"What?! No, I don't!"

"Yeah, you do."

"Don't!"

"Do."

"Don't!"

"Do!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"No!"

"Yes!! No, wait! Ugh! You tricked me!"

"Yeah, I did."

"Why?"

"Because you like him."

"Do not."

That night, Kagura dreamed about Itachi. Too bad she woke up in a bad mood.

Right after announcements, her homeroom teacher, Mrs. Stoom, said, "Class, this is Itachi Uchiha. He will be in our class starting today."

Kagura looked up from her sketch book. She felt herself blush when she saw him.

"There's an open seat next to Kagura. You can sit next her. Kagura, raise your hand."

She looked down and started to draw, pretending not to pay attention.

"Kagura!" her teacher yelled.

She looked up with a confused, dazed look on.

Mrs. Stoom and Itachi walked towards her.

"Kagura Hime, you are to listen to what I say. Do you understand?"

She just nodded.

Her teacher walked away, but Itachi sat down.

"Hey, Kagura," he said.

"Itachi," said the boy in front of him. "A quick word of advice: you're wasting your time if you wanna be friends with her. She never talks and she's only friends with Arisa in seventh grade. The whole class thinks that Kagura's a freak, a bitch, and an outcast. She doesn't even care that we call her those things."

She just glared at him, but didn't say anything.

"See what I mean?"

She looked towards Itachi and her expression softened. She sighed and grabbed her books. But instead of going to first period, she went to the Spanish room.
