Kinara's POV

I grabbed my black skirt and pulled on a pair of tight fitted white shorts. As I grabbed one of my many corseted shirts, I took a look out side. Grey clouds cast gray shadows over gray concrete. today would be cold, wet and miserable. Shrugging nonchalantly, I ran a brush through myu7 hair to undo the tangles that my usual restless night brought. I slipped on the rest of my outfit and dashed up the street. As I neared the entrance of the Academy, I was greeted by and onslaught of memories...

(First day at the Academy) 3rd person

A short girl with down cast eyes stood in the front of the concave classroom. Next to her stood a man with a scar across his nose. He smiled kindly down at her and nudged her shoulder encouragingly. She opened her moth and spoke with a soft voice that somehow filled the room,

"My name is Hirina Kinara, I moved here with my auntie Korina, because the rest of my family where killed by enemy ninja, along with the rest of my clan. It's nice o meet all of you," she said this unblinkingly, her voice not wavering in the slightest, with her technicolor eyes scanning and scrutinizing everyone in the room. They came to rest, only for a moment, on a boy with onyx hair, with eyes to match, who had a bored and standoffish look plastered onto his face. Her eyes continued their exploration, until, again, they rested on a boy of her own age. He, on the other hand, had blond hair, blue eyes, and whisker markings on his face. He, like her, looked serene (Though only for the moment, as these times where very rare.) upon seeing her gaze, he looked back, almost challengingly. The tall ninja guided her to a seat near the back of the classroom, next to a boy who's name she had learned was Kiba. A small dog flew out of his hood and landed on her lap, much to the shock of everyone there, with a muttered apology, Kiba picked up the pup and sat back down, looking uncomfortable.

"Sorry..." he mumbled.

"'s ok" She returned. She reached over to her bag and pulled out a brush, ink well, and a piece of paper. The class preceded to take notes on the history of Konoha. All the while, the students shot nervous glances at her. She attempted to ignore them, but it was very difficult at times.

After that, the class moved outside to a training ground. Kinara trailed behind the class as the tall man from earlier, Iruka sensei, as she would soon call him, spoke to her about all that they had learned. She was familiar with most of it, and everything else seemed rather simple. He was surprised when she told him this, as they had barley touched the basics of most things. He had all the students line up in groups of 3, placing Kinara next to two other girls, one with pink hair, and the other with blond.

What she noticed first was the pink haired girls large forehead, but she dicided that she wouldn't comment on it. Not like there was a point to, right? (A/N right now, sakura and Ino are still friends)

"Hi! I'm Sakura!" said the pink haired girl.

"And I'm Ino!" Said the other. Both of them had calm, friendly looks on their faces, but their insides where squirming. Iruka placed each group in front of the targets, and handed them each 3 kunai (is that how you say the plural?) and told them to throw them at the targets. He walked around. adjusting ones arm, or stance now and again. Kinara head the two girls giggling, and turned to see what, or who, they where laughing at. The same onyx haired boy was trowing the kunai at the target, and hitting the mark each time. She turned to them with a questioning look on her face.

"That's Sasuke... isn't he gorgeous?" Ino cooed.

"I don't see what's so special," Kinara said flatly. The two fan-girls exchanged skeptic looks with each other, before turning back to the Hinara girl.

"He's top of the class! He's also from the Uchiah clan, the most powerful clan in Konoha!"

"And what makes them so special?"

"His brother, Uchiah Itachi, graduated when he was 7! And... he's also sooo handsome!" The two girls started to squeal and giggle, while Kinara just rolled her eyes.

She stepped up to the line that they where supposed to throw from, and breathed deeply. just as the Kunai was about to fly from her hand, she had a vision of another kunai flying through the air, and directed toward her head. Turning abruptly and extending her right led to go into a crouch, she reached her hand up to snag the flying knife.

Straightening up, she turned to look for the thrower. Only to be greeted by shocked stars and heated voices whispering to one another.

She caught sight of the blond haired boy, who was scratching the back of his neck and looking sheepish. "S-sorry... I-I didn't mean for it to hit you! Really, I didn't!" Said the boy nervously, eying the surrounding crowd, who where all muttering murderously to each other.

Kinara caught phrases such as "Of course he would do it..." and "my mom says not to talk to him..." and "why is he such a monster...?"

"It's fine, consider it forgotten..." She returned, as she looked oddly at her fellow students.

"Back to work guys," said her sensei hesitantly. All the while looking strangely at Kinara.

For the next few days, all that anyone seemed to want to do was stare at Kinara. Stare and speculate. And that was how she started her life in Konoha.

Kinara's POV

I continued toward the school, and was greeted by Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and Shikamaru. These where my four friends, they weren't sasuke fan-girls, they where nice, and Kiba was funny enough to over shadow Shino's depressing domineer. I did my best to avoid Sasuke, and he ignored me like he did everyone else. Hinata was nice, and good to talk to, since she really listened to what I said. And Shikamaru was... well... Shikamaru, there was no way to describe him properly. he was lazy, annoying, and down right rude when he wanted to be. He was the awesomest guy I'd ever met. He was a male me to the extreme, that was why I liked him so much. As a friend. JUST as a friend. God, I'd been listening to Ino too much lately, I didn't like ANYONE like that!

Besides them, most people ignored me, **because I really care.** The only time they would pay attention to me was to a) make weir, rude, and curious comments about my eyes b) speculate on why my reflexes where so amazing c) wonder why I wasn't either a trouble making maniac like Naruto, or a emotional wreck like Sasuke, the two other orphans in our village, or d) mutter rudely about my appearance/cold, sarcastic personality/outfit/skill level (which was abnormally high, tied to Sasuke's)

When I reached my little circle of freaks that I call friends, they greeted me in their usual ways, Shikamaru barley inclining his head, Shino speaking in his monotone voice "Hello," Kiba saying loudly "What's up?" and Hinata barley managing to squeeze out "H-h-hello Kinara-chan"

"Sup guys? Shino, you're your usual sunny self today I see!**" They being used to my sarcastic comments, simply shrugged it off. when we entered the class room, we saw Naruto tied up and sitting in the middle of the U shaped room.

"What do you think he did this time?" I whispered to Shikamaru, who was sinking back in his chair next to me, his feet propped up on the desk.

"something troublesome as always. He put graffiti all over the Hokage monument or something..."

"You really need a new catch phrase... how about 'what a drag'? that's kinda the same only not as boring!" (You see, this is where he got it!)

"hm..." he said, giving a non-committal jerk of the head. As class settled in, Iruka sensei began to give Naruto a long, boring, lecture.

"Nice one, Naruto!" I shouted, not a hint of sarcasm in my voice. He flashed me a foxy grin, his pointy eye teeth glistening. Everyone turned to me, and just looked in shock, well, everyone except for Sasuke, who was thinking something along the lines of 'David Bowie will never understand the torment I feel, the torment of being an insanely gorgeous ninja who's lusted after by almost every girl he comes in contact with. God, I hate myself.' ok then...

(anyone who's seen Naruto the Abridged series by LittleKuriboh on Youtube, and for those of you who haven't look it up, that's one of my favorite parts, full monologue at bottom)

"Bleh..." Naruto said in a bored voice, not paying attention in the slightest to what Naruto was saying.

"Tomorrow is the Shinobi Academy Graduation exam, and you've failed it the last two times! This isn't the time to be causing trouble idiot!"

Whatever..." Iruka just responded to this with a tick mark appearing on his forehead and a exasperated expr3etion plastered over his face.

"Time for a henge no Jutsu test! you will all transform perfectly into me! Everyone line up!"

"What?" yelled Shikamaru.

Sakura stepped up and preformed the jutsu, as always, she did it correctly.

"Ok, good. Next, Uzumaki Naruto,"

"This is all your fault..." grumbled Ino.

"Like I give a damn..." responded Naruto, as he too, stepped up the the center of the room.

"Henge!" He said loudly, before being hidden by a puff of smoke, only to be revealed seconds later as a half naked women. That was it for me, I burst out laughing at that guys perverted mind. Iruka sensei responded to this be flying back with blood shooting out of his nose.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I call that 'Sexy no jutsu!'"

"You moron, don't invent stupid skills!" His face was livid, while I, on the other hand, was still laughing my ass off. Again, everyone turned to look at me with blank faces.

"Oh, come on, how did you not find that funny" I said through my laughter.

"Finally! some one recognizes my genius!" Shouted Naruto.

After that class continued, and Iruka sensei gave us one final piece of advise before we left. Study.

**wow, gosh, it's not like you told us 51 times...** I had been counting too.

I quickly said my farewells so my friends and headed home. When I got there my aunt greeted me by saying a quick "Hello dear, how was school? "Fine, Naruto got a disturbingly long lecture by Iruka sensei for wrecking the Hokage monument. It was hysterical!"

"I do feel so bad for that boy, the villagers treat him so badly, it wasn't as bad when he was little, but now that he's grown up they're even more afraid of him..." She said this to herself more then me.

"Why are they so afraid of him, the pranks are, albeit extreme, but not threatening..."

"You'll find out in due time, even he doesn't know!" She said more loudly. She was a thin women, with ebony hair, high cheek bones, and Hazel eyes. the only similarity between us was our hands, slim with long, elegant fingers, and short nails, the latter being more of a style choice then family trait. She was dressed in a deep purple komono, with sleeves that stopped just below her elbows, and a magenta floral pattern spread across it. It stopped just at her ankles and was tied with a sash of the same shade of magenta as the pattern.

Smiling nervously and nodding slowly, I turned toward the stair case.

I Shrugged off my black hoodie, draped it across a chair, and headed toward the stairs.

"I'm ganno go study now, tell me when you start to make dinner."

"Actually, I thought we could go out to night, just to help you relax before tomorrow," She said, smiling gently. I returned the smile and headed toward my room. Korina had helped me so much, she had taken time off from her work as the village seamstress to take in an orphaned and traumatized 9 year old with no where to go. She had become, in all but one sense of the word, "mother."

Hear is the scene from Naruto abridged (Kakashi's voice changes pitch every other word, Naruto sounds like he has smoker's lung, he does, Sasuke as a emo monotone voice, sakura has a rally high pitched voice):

Kakashi: Hello students, my name is-
