Chapter 2: The Olympus Express

Waiting Station 9:45 am:

Sakura sat down on one of the benches in the train waiting station. She glanced at the others who were

sitting around her, all bored. She looked up as she saw a bunch of people coming inside. There was a

silver-haired guy, arguing with a handsome guy with long black hair. A guy with hair like Kakashi's only

reddish orange came behind them, along with a girl with medium length wavy black hair and

circumspect black eyes that darted around nervously and another girl was with her, a pretty one with

straight, fairly long hair and a friendly expression. They made their way over and sat not to far away

from Sakura's group. The one with silver hair like snow got up, stretched, and smiled at Sakura, who was

looking in his direction. Sakura smiled back. Naruto and the others, curious as to who she was smiling at,

turned also. Allen approached Sakura and extended his gloved hand. "I'm Allen Walker, pleasure to

meet, you…" "Sakura. Sakura Haruno." Sakura smiled again and shook his hand. "Are you all going to

Olympus Academy as well?" Allen asked the group. If they were all going to Olympus, why not get to

know each other, right? "Yeah, are you guys invited, too?" Ino said, stepping up and smiling warmly.

"Yeah." Lavi joined in, grinning. Just as the rest of the group was merging, an announcement came on. "

Attention please! If you are boarding the Olympus Express, please meet out on the platform. Your

luggage will be taken care of, please begin to board the train in an orderly fashion. Thank you, and enjoy

your trip!" "Well, guess we better get going." Allen looked at the black and gold train. Sakura nodded

and motioned for everyone else to head out.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny hurried out onto the platform. Just as they reached the train, they

heard familiar voices. "Hey, Harry! Ron! Hermione! Ginny!" They all turned and saw Luna, and Neville

running toward them. "Luna! Neville! Are you guys invited too? Blimey, there's a lot of people coming."

Ron said, grinning as they greeted each other. Then they boarded the train, passing a guy with long

blonde hair and brilliant blue eyes. They chose a compartment, sat down, and marveled at all the

different people coming to Olympus. "Look at that girl with pink hair…and…purple eyes?" Ron was

baffled. "Lavender eyes, Ron, and remember these people come from different worlds, alright?"

Euphemia turned and saw a boy with orange hair staring at her and blushed. She discovered that with

these people, pink hair and purple eyes weren't something seen every day. "Stop staring, Ron!"

Hermione scolded Ron. "Sorry."

Sasori, Itachi, and Deidara chose a compartment for themselves and sat down. They didn't want to

attract too much attention to themselves, but they were curious about the other people. So they

discreetly observed them, except for Deidara, who had his nose pressed against the compartment

window. "Wow! There's a girl with green hair! And gold eyes! Look at the guy she's with! He has purple

eyes! Ohmigosh, there's a girl with purple hair!" "Deidara, be quiet and stay away from the window."

Sasori ordered. Deidara obeyed, but kept his head turned so he could still see people. Sasori rolled his

eyes but also took into account that what Deidara had said was true. He saw a girl with lime green hair

and golden eyes wearing a form-fitting white bodysuit with gray buckles…it looked like some kind of

prisoner uniform. He scrutinized the guy next to her; he had black hair and cynical violet eyes. A girl with

light brown hair and lavender eyes stood next to him grabbing his arm. He looked away when he noticed

that the girl with green hair was staring at him.

C.C. looked at the boy with dark red hair and amber eyes as he inspected Lelouch and Nunnally. She had

noticed that he had looked at her too, but didn't let him notice that. Her eyes shifted to his companions;

the guy with long black hair tied into a ponytail and dark eyes, with lines running down from his eyes.

Then she looked at the blonde with blue eyes. She had almost mistaken him for a girl with that hairdo.

She smiled a little, then followed Lelouch and Nunnally down the hallway toward Shirley, Kallen, Rivalz,

Milly, Nina, Kaguya and Suzaku.

Tohru sat down next to Momiji on the comfortable black leather compartment seats. They seated six

people, three on each side, with armrests. Kyo sat on Tohru's other side, Yuki across from him, Kagura

next to him, Kisa next to her, and Rin went to find another compartment. "If you want, I could go to

another compartment." Yuki offered. "No thanks, I don't want to be stuck with that cat for two hours."

With that, she slammed the compartment door shut and began searching for a new compartment. She

didn't like the fact that she was going to this Academy, no matter how special. And where the heck was

Akito, Ayame, Minnie and Kureno? She huffed and slid open the compartment door, not paying

attention to whether it was occupied or not. There were three guys seated there. Sirius looked up at the

tall, black-haired beauty before him. "Can I sit here?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips. "Sure."

Sirius slid over and patted the seat next to him. Rin blinked and sat down. "My name's Sirius, these are

my mates, James, and Remus." James waved, and Remus nodded his head at her. "I'm Rin." She said and

slowly began to feel more at ease as Sirius began to talk to her more.

Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna, and Ginny all fit perfectly in their compartment, and they started

talking as the train chugged away. " What do you think they'll teach us there?" Ron wondered aloud.

"Apparently they have Knightmare Training, Ninja classes, and a lot of other classes." Hermione was

already reading the handbook. "What's Knightmare?" Harry asked. "Well, it doesn't specify here, so I

guess we have to wait until we arrive." Hermione sighed and looked out the window. She wondered if

she would make more friends like herself, Harry and Ron were great friends, but she longed for

someone to bond with. Then she remembered her uniform. "I'm going to go change into my uniform."

Naruto, Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Kakashi and Sai were seated in one compartment. Gaara, Temari, TenTen,

Neji, Shikamaru and Yamato were seated in the neighboring one. " You realize the Akatsuki are on this

train." Shikamaru said aloud. Everyone looked at him, except for Kakashi and Yamato, who already knew

this. "But only three of them. Sasori, Itachi, and Deidara." "You mean that blonde one that killed my

brother?" Temari growled, getting up. Gaara put out his arm to calm her. "We mustn't do anything rash,

or they might do something worse, they were probably invited too, so we have no reason to attack them

here." Kakashi said. "But-" Temari started then sat down again. Then, passing their compartment

window was a girl with neck-length red hair and aqua blue eyes. She was standing there waiting for

somebody and smiled at them. Kakashi and Yamato smiled back, expressing friendliness. Then, a girl

with long orange hair and olive green eyes arrived, then a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes came,

another girl with black hair and bright green eyes, then a girl with black hair in braids and gray blue eyes,

a girl with light brown curls, and lavender eyes, then finally a girl with long pink hair and purple eyes. "I

guess Sakura isn't the only girl with pink hair anymore." Temari mumbled.

Hermione stood and walked down the hallway toward the bathrooms at the end. Along the way, a girl

with short pink hair and light green eyes stumbled out of a compartment. "You don't need to push, Ino!"

"Well, hurry up!" came the response of a girl with long light blonde hair and light blue eyes. Ino walked

ahead to the bathrooms, and Sakura picked up her fallen uniform as Hermione approached. "Oh, hello."

Sakura greeted the girl with bushy brown hair and brown eyes. "Hi." Hermione replied. "My name's

Sakura. Sakura Haruno." "I'm Hermione Granger." The smiled at each other and walked to the

bathrooms. "So, what do you think about Olympus? Think it's going to be great?" Hermione inquired.

"Yes, I am really looking forward to joining their medical department, see, I'm a medical ninja." Sakura

responded proudly. "A ninja? Really?" Hermione's eyes bugged. Sakura laughed, and nodded. "Wow,

I've only ever read about ninjas, I've never actually met one!" Hermione looked at her in awe and

admiration. "And what about you? What are you interested in at Olympus?" Sakura asked. "Oh! The

medical department! I've read about it, and it sounds amazing! Especially with all the modern

technology and equipment." "Exactly! And with their advanced teachings, I'll bring so much information

back to Konoha, my home nation." "Konoha?" "Konoha is the Land of Fire. There are other nations as

well, but Konoha is the one I was born in." "Oh, right." "So, you have any special abilities?" Sakura asked

tentatively. She wasn't sure if this girl possessed special powers, and if she didn't, her feelings would

probably get hurt, and she didn't want that. "Yeah, I'm a witch from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and

Wizardry." Now it was Sakura's turn to be awed. "Woah, a real witch! Do you have a cauldron, a cat, and

a broomstick? Can you fly?" Hermione giggled. "Well, we do have cauldrons, and I have a cat named

Crookshanks, but I had to leave him at home. As for a broomstick, I do know how to fly one, but I leave

that for Quidditch players, not my specialty." She grinned. "Quidditch?" Sakura asked. "It's a sport in our

world where we use broomsticks and fly around a field and score points by throwing a ball called the

Quaffle into goal posts, while trying to avoid these two balls called Bludgers who will try to knock you off

your broom, and there is a small golden ball with wings called the Snitch that the Seeker must find and

capture, ensuring his team 150 points and ending the game." Hermione finished, out of breath. Sakura

looked amazed. "Wow, I'd love to play that!" "Maybe they'll have that at Olympus." Hermione said

hopefully as they reached the bathrooms. "I hope so." Sakura laughed as they entered a separate stall

and changed into their uniforms.

Naruto looked around, already bored. Hinata had left with Temari and TenTen to go change, and Sai was

reading a novel. "Hey, Sai." Sai leveled his dark eyes to his bright blue eyes. "Yes?" "I'm bored, what

should we do?" "I'm not bored." Sai returned his gaze to the latest Icha Icha Paradise novel that Kakashi

had let him borrow, with two conditions. 1: He must keep the book covered at all times. 2: He must

never speak about it with people who might tell. Sai had happily agreed to these terms, he was eager to

learn more about the emotion, love. This book was certainly detailed and emotional, but he sometimes

wondered what the real-life experience would be like. Just as quickly as that thought entered his mind,

he erased it, because he knew that would probably never happen. He then turned to Naruto. "How

about we go change into our uniform?" "All right! Let's go!" Naruto grabbed his uniform and ran out,

leaving Sai behind to catch up, which he did easily. Kakashi watched the two run toward the bathrooms

to change and sighed. He hoped Naruto didn't run into the Akatsuki, if he did…with that, Kakashi stood

and followed after him. Yamato did as well. Soon after, Gaara and Neji decided to go change as well.

Tohru, Momiji, Kagura, and Kisa sat back down, already changed into their uniforms. Kagura smoothed

down the black pleated skirt, Tohru straightened the laces on the black combat boots, swinging them in

front of her. They're cute, she thought. Kisa pulled at the lace stockings, admiring the intricate design.

Ayame really put a lot of thought into these. She thought happily. They then heard an announcement

come over the train PA system. 'We will be arriving shortly, please be sure that you have your uniforms

on and please do not worry about your luggage, that will be taken care of. Thank You for riding the

Olympus Express, this has been your pilot, Hermes.'
