Iruka led me to stand in front of several boys and girls, many of them gave me cereuses looks, for not many of them have seen a person with livid purple hair that defies gravity and piercing dull lilac eyes.
I sigh, come on… there is nothing to out rages about me. Gripping my purple-gloved hands behind my back I look at the class with a small smile. Might as well amuse them… it may be a long time before I get out of here.
The stares did not lighten as I stood in the center.
"Know class I would like to introduce Hazen Yami." Iruka smiled as he motioned in my direction. "Would you like to tell us about your self?"
A Cheshire cat like smile found its way to my face as I smirked to every one.
"Hello, my name is Hazen Yami, my enemies call me Yami, but my friends call me Haz." some of the other students shivered at my untrustworthy words, I could not help it. My devious side was showing its face, I have been spending too much time with my darker half.
Iruka cleared his throat to try and clear the tension in the air.
"Dose anyone have any questions for Hazen?" he smiled, but my eyes cot the sweat that formed on his brow. I smirked; even being listed as an academy student, one at the bottom of the food chain, I still intimidated humans. I chuckled inwardly.
This will be fun.
Taking my eyes off of Iruka they gaze drifted to the brave, or should I say ignorant, students who razed their hands. One is a kid with spiky blond hair, bright blue eyes, and is clothed in an orange jump suit. I nod for him to ask.
"MY NAME IS NARUTO UZIMAKI! AND I WILL ME THE NEXT HOKAGE! BELIVE IT!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, I stifled a glare. Iruka did not resist like I had.
"NARUTO! SITE DOWN! AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A QUESTION THEN DON'T RAZE YOUR HAND!" he yield back. I sighed, as both of their voices are horrible to my sensitive ears. Moving on to the next kid, he had a white puppy on top of his head. He had a light in his eye that held so much zealous… note to self; avoid him if you don't want a migraine.
"What village did you come from?" he asked as the dog yipped.
"I am a traveling nomad, I have never had a place to call home." My voice is smooth and voluble, soft but not quiet, just loud enough for you to hear it. Once he nodded more students continued with the random questions like; what's my favorite color, favorite pet, and so on. After Iruka regained order once more a boy with all most a pineapple hair cut razed his hand. He had been sleeping the howl time. His eyes looked somnolent, I chuckled.
A sleeping genus.
"If you are a traveling nomads then who do you travel with? You have to have a guardian of some sort…" he said in a bored town.
I looked up at him my voice is cold. This question for some reason struck a nerve my eyes barley repressed the glare I sent him. He looked shocked as did everyone ells.
"In my travels I traveled alone, only staying in one place for a couple of days. Never to long, but I did live in a dojo for many years. There is one person who saved me from darkness." After that the class fell silent Iruka seemed shocked.
"Well Haz, you can sight where ever you like!" again he was trying to cut the tension in the room, and is failing miserable. Moving swiftly, I walked to the back of the room. Girls glared at me, envious of the way I moved and my eased presence. The boys watched my movements, not leaving much thought on what they where thinking, open books much?
Finding the seat in the back next to the window I took my seat, not missing the cereus stare from a raven-haired boy sighting in the seat three sights to my right. My eyes locked with him, holding them there for a mere second, but Iruka interrupted are little staring contest as class began.
Class continued as if nothing had happened; everyone has forgotten (some what) my presence. Just the way I like it. It is in my blood to not desire company, for I live as a shadow and there I find comfort, but during this day cretin people would glance at me.
One being the raven-haired boy… ignoring them, as I did to everyone else, my attention came back to Iruka. He informed us that we would be taking a lunch brake then begin the exam for genin. Once he left the room students got up and moved about. Still sighting at the desk I creaked my knuckles; this cased many glances to come my way. The look was clear on their faces.
They had totally forgot I was even in the room.
I chuckled darkly, standing slowly I began to walk out of the classroom but a person stopped me.
It was Naruto, he ran up to me.
"Hey! You're the new girl Hazen right?" he had an idiotic smile plastered on his face, one all most to innocent, my eyes narrowed slightly.
I nodded my reply.
"Would you like to have lunch with me?" I was shocked by his question; normally people would not eat with a shadow. I liked this kid, a small smile found its way to my pale pink lips.
"Ok, I'm still new so lead the way." I spoke with a smirk. His smile grew as he grabbed my arm and ran for it, shock fallowed me as he dragged me down the street. Many times did I try and get his grip to slack but it failed and seemed to make him want to grip my wrist harder. Once he stopped I could smell beef of a savory broth, my mouth watered in delight.
Fallowing Naruto he led me in where we where greeted by an older man and a brown haired girl in her early twenties.
"Hey Naruto! How are you doing?" he smiled at the kid who greeted him, my nose was distracting me. So I did not pay attention the conversation, but my ears did pick up my name being said.
"Her? This is my new friend Hazen! She is new to the village so I took her out to eat the beast food in the world!" he laughed with delight. I smiled and nodded for a greeting. The old man's lips held a playful smirk to them.
"Ok Naruto what ever you say~" I shook my head, old people.
We sate down and Naruto in lightened me on how good the food was here, or should I say Ramen. I decided that it would be best to listen to what Naruto said and let him order for me. I smiled and listened as he told me of all the things there are in the village, some pranks he has pulled and will do, and how he wants to be hokage. For once I do feel happy I smiled and slurped the noodles. The kid is right! They are good!
Once we finished, it is time to head back to the academy. As we walk we remained in comfortable silence.
"You don't have a family do you Naruto?" my question was meet with silence, the movement of clenched fists met my eyes, and a determined look passed his face.
"No… but someday I will have people respect me! That is my dream! To be Hokage!" he said looking at me with determination in his eyes I smiled.
"Don't loose sight of your path Naruto, trials will come and test you but do not waver from your goal." I repeated a quote from Lady Sada, she had said the same thing to me over and over again.
The blonde just looked at me funny, I laughed.
"Just an old saying from a close friend." And with that the academy comes back into sight.
