Notes will be written in italics. Speaking will be with "..." and thoughts will be with '...'

So, I've just started to write stories on Fanfiction. I'm new to this arrangement so pardon me if there are a few technical errors. Hopefully rarely any grammatical errors ;)

I forgot to write a note on the first chapter so I'm making it up with this one. Anyway, I would love feedback. It does two things for me, it lets me know this story is worth peoples time and are enjoying it (or not) but it also helps me improve my skill. Either way, I'll be motivated to write.

A note related to the story: The first couple of chapters are going to be short and sweet. I want to build up some character and history without boring the readers (plus they were written on my phone during the time my laptop was getting fixed...it was a dark and lonely time without my laptop D': ). I tend to get bored with long beginning and descriptions especially when there is a lot of descriptive detail.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the story! -TBAO

Chapter 2: A New Student

A couple years later and the twins were now 10-years old. Naruto was the Knuckle-head and Kajika was the Tomboy.

Unfortunately, Sasuke's fan girls had cut Kajika's long burgundy hair afraid that she would sweep Sasuke off his feet with her long locks. Back then she told the girls that they did her a favor since she didn't want to attract the arrogant boy. But now her hair was a bob cut with her bangs pinned to the left side.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom while sensei is still gone." Kajika informed before leaving the room.

"Hey, Sensei is late" Naruto noticed as he peered at the clock. He rubbed his hands together, whispering "Perfect chance to.."

"Sorry I'm late. Class, we are going to have a new student." Iruka announced as he walked into the room. "He came all the way from the Land of Tea." The students quieted down, nothing was more exciting than a new student.

In walked a boy with hair that was white as snow and eyes that were a bright gold. "This is Hagono Masato." A little after the introduction, Kajika walked in and ran to her seat.

"Today we'll do an exercise so that you all can get to know each other better. I want you all to write down 5 things that you like and then go around and try to find others with similar likes and have them sign it."

Naruto and Kajika began their lists.

"What's on your list, sis?"

"Er, I have music, running, swimming, Ichiraku ramen and..." She hadn't picked out her 5th like.

"You like to sleep." Naruto offered. She quickly wrote it down. Who doesn't like to sleep?

"So what's on your list?"

"Let's see... Ichiraku ramen, pork ramen, chicken ramen, beef ramen and shrimp ramen." Kajika let out a giggle, knowing her brother he could make a bigger list on different types of ramen.

"Alright, begin."

Kajika already knew who she would get a signature from: Shikamaru, since he sleeps in class.

He signed it as she read his paper.

"What's shogi?" She asked him.

"It's a game I play with my dad." He yawned out.

"Oh." She signed her name under napping.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to meet golden eyes.

"Would you read my list?" She gave the new boy an Uzumaki smile before switching sheets with him. She saw him sign his name under all 5 things. She looked at his list and was surprised to see similar things. He had running, music, training, rice cakes and tea. She signed her name under all his likes as well.

"Here you go." She handed back the paper. She tried to read his name. "So your name is... Um... Tai-ga?" The boy let out a healthy laugh.

"No, Masato. Hagono Masato"

"Tch, I like Taiga better."

"You can call me anything you want." He told her in such a way that it made her face feel hot.

"Hey, what did you do to my sister!" Naruto screamed as he jumped on Masato's back. "Why is her face all red, huh? Tell me!" Naruto screamed while he gripped the boy.

The sheer embarrassment of Naruto announcing her blush to the class made her face boil.

"Naruto, don't go around embarrassing me!" She pulled her brother off of Masato and put him into a headlock.

"If you're her brother, I don't plan on getting on your bad side. Friends?" Masato held out his hand. Naruto tried to refrain from looking excited about having a friend.

"Friends..." He mumbled as he took the boy's hand.

After that incident Masato was on friendly terms with the siblings but was often busy with his fan group which was also Sasuke's fan group.

"I hope that popularity doesn't go to his head or he will just end up like Sasuke." Naruto muttered as the two watched him from a far. Kajika nodded in agreement.

The next school day, Kajika was getting a lot of attention from the girls of the class. Not healthy attention either, they were all glaring daggers at her. She wasn't sure what she had done to cause the female half of the class to become angry with her.

"I should have slept in." She mumbled to herself as she took her seat. Naruto was trying to court Sakura but she ignored him completely.

"Can you believe it? What does Masato-kun see in her?"

"Every other guy doesn't find Tomboy-Kajika attractive" another girl added.

"Good morning, Kajika-chan" Masato had approached her and even took the seat to her right, the one that Naruto usually sat in since she preferred the window seat.

"Uhh, Good Morning, Taiga." She leaned away from him a bit, not wanting to cause more arguments with the hormonal girls.

"Where's Naruto-kun this morning?" He was beginning to pull out his things as he set up his portion of the desk.

"He'll be coming soon. We came together." She tried to hint to him that she wasn't used to anyone else in her bubble but Masato just smiled it away.

Naruto showed up with a red-hot hand print on his cheek, when he noticed his seat was taken...well, it didn't help his mood.

Today, the twins had to resort to writing each other notes in class in a language that they made up years ago. Leaving the monkey in the middle, Hagono Masato, curious as to what the twins were writing.
