Chapter 1

Hinata

"Bye, girls!" Kurenai waved from the car, "Have fun, visit me during Christmas!"

I waved back. "I'll miss her," I sighed.

"Me too," Temari agreed, "Because now I'm gonna have to act like your mother."

"Hey!" Tenten and Ino chimed in.

"Come on," I said, "Let's get to the headmaster's office."

Temari pulled out the map Kurenai printed out for her. Following her, we silently marveled at the school's beauty.

"It must have cost a fortune," Tenten breathed.

"I wonder how Kurenai can afford all this," Ino wondered.

"Shut it, guys," Temari said, "We're here."

She hesitantly knocked on the door, brilliantly carved with the Konoha city symbol.

A muffled, "Come in," was heard.

We all took deep breaths, and lugged our suitcases into the office.

"Hello, we're Yuhi Kurenai's children, the new transfers," Temari clarified.

"Ah, yes, I'm Hatake Kakashi – wait, you're girls!" The masked headmaster exclaimed.

"Yeah," I said uncertainly, "What of it?"

"Oh…nothing…I was just led to believe you were guys…" He replied.

"Why?" Tenten asked.

"No reason…um, anyway, you're mother requested for you to be in the same dorms, so Miss Temari and Miss Hinata are sharing a dorm, and same for the other two."

"Okay," Ino nodded.

"You're dorm is room 1501," He regained his composure, handing Temari and I a key and a schedule, "And your rooms, I presume you are Ino and Tenten, are room 1505."

"Thank you for your help," Tenten said.

"No problem," He smiled, "The dorms are on the floor above, to the left, by the way."

"Thanks," I said.

"Again, no problem…but if you don't see any girls, don't be surprised. Class starts in an hour, don't be late. And welcome to Konoha Leaf Prep."

We left the office in a hurry.

"Why did he think we were guys?" Ino asked.

"Beats me," I replied, "I think that guy's just weird. This is an all girls' school, after all."

Temari and I left Tenten and Ino to go to our own dorm. Everything was silent, quite eerie, in the deserted dorm hallways.

I placed my key in the lock, opening the door to find a large room, with two single beds on either sides of the room, a large TV, a small kitchenette, two closets, and a desktop computer.

"Whoa," I breathed, "How did Kurenai afford this?"

"I remember that she was promoted to one of the heads of her company," Temari answered, "But that's all I know. One question: if we were supposed to get laptops, why is there a desktop computer here?"

"Beats me, Temari."

"Whatever, let's just unpack, I wanna sleep before we've got to get to class."

I shoved my clothes in my closet, choosing the bed closest to the kitchen.

I thought about what Kakashi said. If you don't see any girls, don't be surprised.

Whatever, I thought, He's probably just not the sharpest crayon in the box.

Tenten

"This is so awesome!" I exclaimed, "Who knew Kurenai could afford all this!"

Ino was jumping on her bed, sorting through all her clothes.

"Yeah, too bad there aren't any guys in this school, that would have made it all the more cool." She said.

"Yeah." Ino usually cycled through boyfriends like clothes. I was more reserved, getting a boyfriend every now and then. Temari never had a boyfriend, though already had her first few kisses – courtesy of Spin the Bottle – and Hinata was still prude…but I plan to change that some day.

"It's seven forty-five," I said, "Shouldn't we go get Temari and Hinata? Knowing Temari, she's probably asleep."

"But class doesn't start till eight thirty!" She whined, "Can't we wait?"

"No," I said, "We're going to be lost, considering we're new and everything."

"So?"

I sighed, "Wake me up in fifteen minutes."

I settled down in my bed, clothes and everything, and let sleep overcome my excitement.

Ino

When Tenten had fallen asleep, I took out my ipod, putting it on full blast.

Putting my clothes in my closet, I started thinking about Kurenai.

She'd been our mother ever since we were nine, when she adopted us, when we were nine.

A tall woman walked into the orphanage, with long black tresses and red eyes. I remembered seeing her the week before; apparently she was looking for kids. I doubted she'd want to pick me.

I paid no attention to her, turning my attention back to the book I was reading.

The woman in charge lifted me up, along with three other girls I barely knew – one with pale eyes, another with buns on each side of her head, and another with dirty blonde hair – to the woman.

"Oh, they're so cute!" The woman exclaimed, "I'm Kurenai, your new mother."

"Hi!" I smiled, already liking her. She was taking me away from here, after all.

I later learned the names of my new 'sisters' – Hinata, Tenten, and Temari. It was the beginning of a new life

I sighed, reminiscing of that fateful day.

I sat down at the desktop computer, momentarily forgetting I had a laptop. Checking my email, I found one from Kurenai.

Ino,

Hey! I guess by the time you read this your first day of school would be over, considering you check your email like crazy! I hope you like it. I can't wait for you to visit me during Christmas. I already miss you!

With love,

Kurenai

I smiled at the email. She was our mother, and no one – not even our real mothers – could replace her. I suddenly yawned, feeling tired. Turning off my ipod, I looked at my bed, which looked so comfy.

I jumped – literally – into bed, letting sleep overcome me.

Later

"Ino! Wake up!" Tenten yelled.

"What?" I asked, yawning.

"We're late!" Hinata yelled, coming out of nowhere, "It's eight forty five!"

"Oh shit!" I exclaimed, jumping up and trying to stuff my books into my backpack as fast as I could.

"Hurry up!" Temari yelled from the hallway.

"Ino, I asked you to wake me up!" Tenten scolded.

"I fell asleep," I protested, "I'm sorry!"

"Whatever, I've got the same homeroom as you three," Tenten replied, "Where's room 85B?"

"Here it is," Hinata said, opening the door, "Sorry we're late, sir – where are all the girls?"

"Huh?" I whispered, following Tenten and Temari inside.

What we saw were a bunch of guys – hot looking ones, but guys nonetheless. Either that or they were really buffed girls…

"Girls?" The teacher – Iruka, I supposed, asked, "There aren't any girls here. This is an all boys' school."

"Are you serious?" Temari asked incredulously.

Iruka merely nodded.

Right then, Hinata fainted, probably from shock.

I, however, fainted from delight.

Was I in heaven?

Temari

Once we had finally gotten Hinata and the awestruck Ino to the infirmary, Tenten and I stormed into the headmaster's office.

"What the hell!" I yelled, "This is supposed to be an all girls' school!"

"Uh," Kakashi stammered, "Look, this was a misunderstanding, I'm sorry. But there's nothing I can do! Your mother has already paid and we do not give refunds."

"You do realize we're the only girls in an all boys' academy, right?" Tenten asked.

Kakashi nodded, not getting where we were getting at.

"And you do realize that we would like to keep our innocence, which might be at risk being at an all guy school?!" I clarified.

"Don't worry!" He said, "At least you got your dorms with each other, right? And we were thinking of merging with the all girls' school down the street, but we will now have to merge sooner, I guess."

"Don't worry!?" I scoffed, "What happens if a guy tries to get at us?"

"Look," Kakashi sighed, "Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on the guys. They're not that stupid – at least we hope not. You will remain in the academy, and continue your studies, etcetera. Now please, go away, so I can read my Icha Icha Paradise books."

Tenten and I left reluctantly, though I was in a hurry, considering those Icha Icha books were…just wrong and perverted…

We made our way to the infirmary, where Hinata and Ino were now awake.

"You guys okay?" I asked.

"Yeah," Hinata replied, "But I had the strangest dream. We were walking to class, and we found out we were in an all boys' school."

Oh, was she in for a surprise.

"Aw, it was a dream?" Ino asked.

"No," I said slowly, ready to catch Hinata in case she passed out again, "It wasn't a dream. We're in a boys' school."

"What?!" She exclaimed, "Shit, shit, shit! What happens now?"

"Well," Tenten patted her shoulder, "We're going to stay here and attend this school until it merges with a girls' school."

"Alright!" Ino exclaimed.

"No!" Hinata cried. "Shit, shit, shit!"

"Stop cursing, Hina!" I demanded, "We're just gonna have to live through this. At least we're not roomed with any guys, right?"

"Yeah," Hinata agreed, "But I'm still worried."

"Don't be," The nurse – a male, I should add – said, "These guys are pretty mature – well, most of them, anyway."

"That's not helping," I whispered.

"Most of them?" Hinata asked, cursing under her breath, "We're screwed."

Hinata had the foulest mouth out of the four of us and could out curse anyone when she wanted to…she always had the worst timing when it came to choosing when to curse.

"Calm down," I said, "We'll get through this."

"I suggest you guys get to class," The nurse instructed.

"Fine." I agreed.

"I've got Honors English right now," Hinata stated.

"Oh, me too!" Ino exclaimed.

How Ino got into an Honors class, I'll never know.

"I've got Art," Tenten said.

"Science," I said, "Let's go, I'll walk you guys to class. Hinata and Ino first."

Hinata slung her messenger bag on sullenly, while Ino was practically floating to their class.

Tenten decided to go on her own to her Art class, so I walked slowly to my Science class. I took a deep breath before pushing open the door, earning many stares from the students – cough, guys, cough – and silently walking to the teacher, a pale man, with an abnormally long tongue, handing him the note Kakashi and the nurse wrote.

"Ah, welcome, Temari," The teacher hissed, "Class, this is Temari Yuhi. I am Orochimaru. I don't like any 'Mr." or any surname, just Orochimaru."

I nodded, taking an empty seat by another guy. I inwardly sighed. This was going to be a long day.
