"Would you two like to introduce yourselves?" the teacher stated to the two new students standing in front of the room.

"Hello everyone!!" Sakura exclaimed in a cheerful voice, "My name is Haruno Sakura! And this is my brother…"

Sakura pointed to Naruto.

"My name is Haruno Naruto!" he exclaimed in an equally happy voice, crossing his arms behind his head.

Everyone in the class immediately began whispering among themselves.

The girls admired Sakura and had hearts in their eyes for Naruto.

The boys were fond of the girl, and were a bit jealous of Naruto for attracting the girls' attentions so quickly.

Sasuke, in the meantime, was sitting just outside of the window, silently screaming death.

Flashback…

"Ok Sasuke," Sakura said as she fixed her school clothes.

She was wearing a navy skirt and nice white shirt.

"Now, I want you to stay in the woods for… about a week. I'll bring you some food on Wednesday because if you go into town, then you might cause some suspicion and we can't afford that now. On Saturday, we'll come and get hide you in our hotel room. We're going to talk to the owner about the mission and finish planning then. Ok?"

"Sakura. Don't ask me if that's ok. It's not."

"Ok! Goodbye Sasuke! See you Wednesday!"

End Flashback…

'I hate her sometimes…' Sasuke thought as he watched Sakura and Naruto take their seats.

The other students welcomed them and immediately started talking to them.

Sasuke sighed.

'I'm outta here…'

He jumped up and disappeared into the forest.

-In Class-

"So Sakura!" a red-haired girl said to her, "Where're you from, anyway?"

"Oh, well," the Haruno started, having practiced this line over and over, "We were in a small village in the Snow Country about a year ago. Then we went to the Earth country, and actually spent a few months in Konoha. Now we're here!"

"Wow!!!" the girl on Sakura's left exclaimed, "Did you see any ninja???"

Sakura nodded.

"Oh, yeah. There were shinobi everywhere. I talked to them all the time."

That same girl turned to Naruto, who sat behind Sakura.

"So, Naruto, did you train with any ninja at all???"

Sakura became a bit irritated at that small action, so she quickly said, "I did! I have a really close friend who's a ninja!"

Naruto also went along with this.

"Sakura got really good at it at one point. We had a few training sessions…"

"Ooooo!" the surrounding students said together.

"Oh, it's nothing really…" she said as she started digging through her bag, "BUT!! There's something I want to show you guys… If Naruto thinks it's ok…?"

"Hm…" Naruto thought for a moment and exclaimed, "I don't see any harm in it…"

Sakura pulled out a forehead protector, Sasuke's to be exact.

She made him take it off so that if someone stumbles upon him in the woods, he can come up with something and not get in trouble.

"WOW!!" all the students exclaimed together again.

"That is SO cool!!" The red-head said and everyone began whispering among themselves again.

"How did you get that??" one of the boys on standing next to her asked.

Sakura immediately put a saddened face on.

"Well, if you must know…" *sniff sniff* "It was my friend's. But… he went out on a mission… and… it just didn't turn out that well, I guess you can say. They let me have it in his memory…"

Sakura looked away from the group and bit her lip hard, trying not to laugh.

Naruto had trouble containing his laughter too.

'Sakura just killed Sasuke… haha…' Naruto thought, then he changed the subject.

"Anyway, there's no need to talk about that now. It's all in the past. He did his best and there's nothing we can do about it now," he said, trying to sound sad, yet not guilty, and get something else going.

"That's horrible. Ninjas have such a hard time nowadays… Rest his soul," the red-head said, shaking her head.

"Well, anyway," Sakura turned to the group, her face red and she was really crying this time.

Naruto could tell, though, that she was holding back her giggle so hard that she bite down on her lip too hard.

"You guys didn't introduce yourselves…" she stated quickly.

"That's a good idea Sakura. Why don't you all introduce yourselves!" the teacher exclaimed, having overheard her statement.

The red-haired one quickly said, "My name is Mia, nice to meet you!"

"I'm Hana," the girl to the left of Sakura stated also.

One by one, everyone told their names.

There was a boy near Sakura whose name was Esuko.

'I'll just see if Naruto can get to be friends with him so we can get some information…' Sakura mentally noted to herself.

"Alright, let's begin…"

And so, the school day began.

-Later Than Day-

It was almost six.

Naruto and Sakura had got out to eat and just arrived at the local inn.

Naruto spoke to the inn keeper about their… uh... situation, and everything was set.

Sakura put her bags on one bed and immediately jumped onto the other one.

"Ahhh, it feels so good to be lying down!!" She exclaimed as Naruto brought the rest of bags in.

"Well, sis, we've got homework…" Naruto said as he lied down next to her and sighed.

"Damn it, that's right. AWW!! I DON'T WANT TO BE BACK IN SCHOOL!!" she exclaimed, digging her face in the pillow.

"Ya know, it wasn't part of the mission to pass the grade…?" Naruto suggested back to her, sitting up in the process.

Sakura sighed.

"Nah, we need to make a good impression… agh…"

They began their homework, and were asleep by nine.

-In The Woods-

Sasuke was sitting in a tree, dozing off every few minutes, though waking up just before he lost his balance and fell off the branch.

Sleepily, he reached up and rubbed his eyes hard.

He readjusted himself on the branch, and eventually fell asleep.
