I'm going to do a flashback-type thing where one chap will be before and one chap will be after. Anyway, small thing for this flashback.
August 31, 2000
Iruka glanced around his desk before turning his eyes back up to the board, waiting for the teacher to appear and do her thing.
To be honest, Iruka was really nervous. He'd just moved here from another province and he wasn't too up to meeting new kids. Everything was so foreign to him; almost all the kids around him speaking amongst each other in hushed voices and the desks were different too. Shifting uneasily in his seat, he noticed the little, green name tag at the end of his desk and glanced over at the desk next to him, seeing a similar tag on his neighbor's desk.
"Hey," glancing up, Iruka blinked at the odd boy next to him. "Is your name Ruka?"
"Huh?" Iruka blinked at the silver-haired kid and shook his head, taking in the name on the other desk's tag and the little sticker in front of it. "No, is yours Akashi?"
"No." They both flushed red and read their own tags over before realizing that the little sticker before their names were animals shaped into the letters of their first name.
"My name's Iruka."
"I'm Kakashi." They grinned at each other.
More to come.
