So I'm saying a disclaimer right here that I don't own Naruto or anything else associated with it (besides this story of course). Enjoy!

Tick Tock. Tick Tock. The freshmen class of room 2A was deadly silent as the last five minutes of class ticked away. With the weekend almost in their grasp, everyone was on edge. Freedom from the endless lectures and tests were within their grasp.

Kakashi-sensei stood up suddenly, obviously remembering something important.

"Class, I've nearly forgotten! On Monday a new student will be joining us in our humble class. She will need catch her up on what we're doing in class and show her to her own classes. Any takers?"

At that moment, the bell rang and the students fled from their ghastly prison. Kakashi thought quickly and grabbed the last boy filing out.

"Ah, Takahiro! How nice of you to volunteer! On Monday, you will escort Miss Sayu to her classes and make sure she knows where she's going, got it?"

"Whatever, sensei. I gotta go now though, you know how Mother is about punctuality. See ya!" Takahiro yelled over his shoulder.

Takahiro's mother, thought Kakashi, the quiet queen.

"Aww no!" yelled Suki. "You have to tail a newbie all day on Monday? Why?"

"Kakashi-sensei trapped me after class yesterday. He forced it on me! It's only because he taught my dad. He thinks he can get away with making my doing anything!" Takahiro yelled, infuriated.

"Sucks for you, man. I know just the thing to cheer you up. Ramen! My treat, 'kay?"

"You know me too well, Suki. No wonder you're my best friend."

"Ya, I know 'Hiro. Just, try to keep it to three bowls, would ya?"

Monday Morning

"Come on Sayu! You need to be at school in ten minutes! You aren't even out of bed yet!"

Mothers, thought Sayu, she hasn't realized that I've decided to stay home today…and tomorrow…and every other day for the rest of…well…my life. Public schooling is not the way to go.

She could hear the slight creak of the stairs as someone came up the staircase.

"Mother, I already told you that I refuse to attend-"She stopped short as hard, cold eyes stared back at her. "Father, I thought you were on a mission with-"

"I got back early," replied the pale, white lips of her father. "Your mother told me you were making a ruckus, and I came to listen to your argument."

"AS I explained to Mother, I refuse to attend a school that teaches such trivial academics such as zoology, and I cannot be taught by such idiot teachers like Kakashi and Jiraya!" The father could tell this was a well rehearsed speech.

"You are not enrolled for zoology, and Kakashi was my sensei. Jiraya is a famous Sannin, a ninja above my rank. Therefore, you do not have a reasonable argument."

"I still refuse to go! Why can't you teach me like before we moved to this miserable village?!"

The iron-hard eyes seemed to flash red for an instant as the pair glared at each other. She had struck a note and she knew it.

"Get your clothes on. I still expect you to be at school on time, breakfast or not." Without a second glance, he swept out of the room without a sound.

"At least he gave me six minutes."

At School

"I gotta get to class, man!" It's one minute before the last bell!" cried Suki.

"I gotta stay here till Sai or whoever shows up, so tell Kakashi that I'm going to be late because this girl never showed up," replied Takahiro.

"Right. Good luck, and hook me up with the girl if she hot, 'kay?"

"I guess. I doubt she is though, kunoichis are normally skinny and ugly."

"Whatever. See ya!"

As Suki ran off to his first class, the air grew still. Takahiro realized that he was the only one outside. Just then, the bell rang, causing him to nearly jump out of his skin. Oh great thought Takahiro, first day of school and she's already causing problems.

Twenty minutes later, Takahiro decided to finally go to class and tell Kakashi she never showed.

As Takahiro turned the corner, he caught a glimpse of his class. The normally gabby class sat stock still with a helpless look of shock. He cautiously turned the knob of the door and stepped into the dead silent classroom.

A girl with long, black hair turned to look a t the newcomer. Legs swinging, butt firmly on Kakashi's desk, she looked alien. Her eyes were… breath-taking. He seemed to be falling into her deep, dark eyes, black as ravens' feathers. Takahiro expected hard, cold eyes, but instead was filled with warmth. A feeling of content washed over him. Self-confidence seemed to radiate from this new girl… this… angel.

"Ah… Mr. Uzimaki, how kind of you to finally join us. I'm afraid your new students took the more –unorthodox- way into my classroom. However, she is quite welcome in this educating… space," Kakashi finished rather lamely.

The girl turned to look at him completely, and a flash of bright pink caught Takahiro's eye. This eccentricity seemed to fit the girl perfectly. He knew then and there that he would do anything to get with this girl.

"If you'd take your seats now –your seat is the empty on next to Takahiro- I'd like to start today's lesson." Kakashi's voice cut through Takahiro's daydreams like a Shuriken through string.

"Well, I'd like to introduce you to your new project buddies. We will begin a new justsu that requires two people. Sorry kids, but I will be assigning the partners. Aw, Kunicho and and Sayuno, I guess you'll just have to make out with each other on your own time…" The couple glared at Kakashi with tomato-red faces.

"On to our pairing. I will call out your last name, and you will come to the front of the room where I will deliver you your scrolls with your instructions on them. Questions?" As usual, nobody replied, but you could tell than nobody was in love with the idea. "Right… here I go! Mayana and Dedito, Yanaman and Kuchini, Uchiha and Uzimaki-"

The pair turned to face each other, appalled at the nerve of their sensei. Slowly, they rose from their seats and made their way down to Kakashi. Sayu picked up the scroll from Kakshi and seemeingly ran back to her seat. Before Takahiro could reach her, she opened the scroll, scanned it, and put it in her hip pouch.

As the last pair shuffled up to Kakashi to receive their scroll, Takahiro and Sayu discussed their assignment.

"So… are we going to work on this out side of school?" asked Takahiro sheepishly.

"Of course! I want to graduate at the top of my class, like my father. I need to beat him, just like my uncle!" replied Sayu. He could tell she was very passionate about her studies, but she's not a day older than he is. The scary part is, he felt as if they were feeling the same things, like they fit together like a puzzle! But there was something different, something… darker about her ambitions.

"Well, where do you want to meet? Your house? My house? The open field by the Forum?"

"How about… your house! It must be great to live in a mansion… you being to Hokage's son and all…"

Right…my father. Hokage at age eighteen. How could I ever live up to his great legacy? This girl is how. Daughter of Uchiha Sasuke, one of the greatest ninja who ever lived! She would be my perfect mentor… and if that doesn't work, I could just marry her one day! She's so sexy…

"Hello! Your house? Tomorrow? After School?" Once again, Takahiro's fantasies were interrupted, this time by the hottie herself.

"Yeah… I'll tell my dad tonight, and we can have some equipment set up and everything!"

"Sure… see ya tomorrow!"

Well, here is my first chapter (finally). I hope you liked it! If not, at least now I have great respect for those who can pump out chapters every week, or even less than a week! I'm sorry I'm so late, and it might be late next chapter too because my internet is down. I'm using my neighbors and are kind of treading on their hospitality. I hope you like it enough to review my piece of crap.

If you'd like to know, I'm happy cuz today I asked a guy I like to Sadie Hawkins dance and he said yes! And all I needed was a coconut… long story lol. Have a great… er… whatever you're having and wish me luck at Congress Nat Quals!
