UPDATE: Finally I've been able to update this story! Sorry, my internet broke down for about 3 weeks and I wasn't able to use my laptop (or iPhone) but I managed to go to my friends house and write this! Please review & follow c:

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto.

Kushina and Mikoto walked slowly to their first class, Homeroom with Sakumo Hatake. Kushina took a quick glance at her childhood best friend and noticed how she didn't change at all since they were little. Her raven black hair was reaching to her lower back, which always made Kushina jealous, which is why she grew out her hair. She was wearing a black t-shirt that she tied above her bellybutton with a white tank top underneath, knee high black leggings, and black flip flops.

"Red?" It took Kushina a while to notice that they both stopped in the middle of the hallway. She looked up and saw Mikoto's face filled with concern. "Oh, sorry, I was kind of daydreaming," I replied with a soft giggle. "Okay, well we're here," Mikoto said. Before she knew it, she was dragged inside and noticed how empty the classroom was. They both decided to sit in the back since they would be less noticeable and it wouldn't attract too much attention.

"So Red, you never told me why you had to move," said Mikoto with a frown. Kushina and Mikoto had been friends ever since kindergarten until Kushina had to move in 8th grade due by a fire that burned her house into shreds. Unfortunately, her Dad didn't make it out on time since he risked his life to protect Kushina and her mother.

"A fire started in my house... I-I didn't have time to tell you that I had to move," said Kushina with tears beginning to form in her eyes. She never liked to recall that memory. "Oh... I'm such a fool for bringing this subject up... I'm so sorry," said Mikoto with a soft voice.

There was silence for the next 5 minutes, until they heard the bell. In a flick of an eye, the door sprung open and students started to pile in. After that, they heard screaming girls and then four guys walking inside the classroom. Kushina studied them carefully. There was a dirty blonde loudmouth with his hair in a low ponytail, which Kushina almost mistook for a girl, a boy with pineapple shaped hair and looked like he was going to fall asleep anytime soon.

Mikoto sighed a quiet one, but Kushina still heard it. She looked back at Mikoto to check if she was okay, and noticed that she was looking at a certain someone. Kushina looked back at the four boys and noticed that she was staring at a guy with black hair that was spiky at the ends. "Wasn't that the same guy she was staring at earlier this morning?" She made a mental note to get them together somewhat this year.

Her eyes, on instinct, stared towards a boy with blonde spiky hair and chin-length bangs that framed his face. "That was the same dude who bumped into me!" It took her a moment to realize that he was staring back at her. Ocean blue eyes met with her violet purple orbs. She could feel her face burning hot red, she wouldn't even be surprised if it matched her crimson hair color.

Quickly breaking eye contact, she stared ahead to see when the teacher would be coming in. She could still feel an intense gaze looking at her, but she simply just ignored it.

As if on cue, the door opened and a man no older than 30 was walking in. "Hello, I am your Homeroom teacher for the entire year. My name is Hatake, Sakumo, but please call me Hatake-Sensei." He said with a soft smile.

"I do not expect rude behavior or talking while I am talking. Because of this, I will begin to assign seats." By then, the entire class groaned, some even cursed. "If I call your name, please stand up," said Hatake-sensei.

"Shikaku Nara," a guy with pineapple hair lazily got up from his seat and murmured a low "troublesome."

"You will sit next to Yoshino Takeshima, please raise your hand." A girl with long dark brown hair that was tied in a loose ponytail obeyed his command. When Shikaku sat down, they both slouched down on their chair at the exact same timing. "They'd make a cute couple," thought Kushina.

"Fugaku Uchiha," proceeded Hatake-Sensei, "You will sit next to Mikoto Chidori." Kushina looked at Mikoto and saw how flushed her face was. "Yup, totally gonna become a couple," thought Kushina with a smirk.

"Inoichi Yamanaka," he stood up immediately, "You will sit next to Hana Hatsumi." She had light brown hair tied in a high ponytail and chocolate brown eyes.

"Kushina Uzumaki," She slowly got up from her seat, "You will sit next to Minato Namikaze." By then, all of the girls were screaming at her, which made Kushina very uncomfortable. "Why the hell would he put me up with that jackass who bumped into me?!" Noticing that she didn't move, she started to walk towards his desk.

As she was walking, a fangirl purposely put her leg in the aisle, which made Kushina trip and guess who she fell on? No other than Minato Namikaze.

"DAMNIT! WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN?" Kushina mentally screamed in her head. She quickly got up while trying to hide her red blush. Minato got back up by his own like nothing ever happened. "What a nice impression, Kushina, real nice." The class went by until the bell rung half an hour later.

"Red, can you hurry up and pack now?" said Mikoto. "Go ahead, I'll catch up with you later," replied Kushina, "You sure? We have different classes, you won't get lost, would you?" replied Mikoto, "I won't, thanks," I said with a soft smile.

As I was putting my notes away, I noticed a flick of blonde in the corners of my eye. Looking up, I noticed I was the only one in the classroom. "Guess it was just the sun," thought Kushina.

She walked out of the classroom like nothing ever happened.

But she didn't notice a certain blonde was right behind her...
