Yuuki's Story (My Side Part I) 2- Classmates
*Next day*
I walk to the school with Kora-neesama. She lets me into the classroom and shows me to a seat in the back of the room. I sit down and she starts getting her lesson together. I lay my head on the desk and close my eyes. I wake up to noisy people coming into the room. I look up. Two kids sit next to me.
"Who are you?" I smile and pull out my parchment pad that I made the night before. I start writing.
'I'm Noriyoki Yuuki. I'm sorry I can't talk. I can only write right now. What's your name?' He laughs.
"Inuzuka Rondo. It's a pleasure Yuuki-san." The other person at the table ignores me.
'Who's he?' He smiles.
"Aburame Kanon-kun. He doesn't talk much." I laugh.
'Tell him I said that it's a pleasure to meet him.' He nudges Kanon-kun.
"This is Noriyoki Yuuki-san. She said hi." He nods in my direction.
'He's real talkative. Is he always like that?' He nods.
"How old are you? You don't look old enough to be in this class." I shrug.
'I'm 6 years old. I have to be in here until I'm old enough to graduate, whatever that means. I just came here a few days ago.' I smile. Class is about to start.
"Can I borrow your pad?" I nod.
'We can share it.' He smiles. I slide the pad to him so he can write.
'Where are you from?' I shake my head and pull the pad over to me so I can write.
'I don't know. The only thing I remember right now is my name and what happened yesterday when I woke up at Uchiha-sensei's house.' He nods.
"Inuzuka-kun, Yuuki-chan, please stop talking and pay attention to what I'm saying." I pull the pad under the table.
'How did she know we were talking?' He shakes his head and reaches for the pad, I hand it to him.
'She knows everything that goes on in the room, even when she's not in here. I think she has eyes in the back of her head. We need to stop talking though. We'll get in trouble.' I nod and put the pad back in my bag.
"Yuuki-san, do you want to eat lunch with us?" Rondo-kun walks up to me outside at the beginning of lunch time. He's followed by a girl. She has white eyes. I nod. They lead me to a spot under a tree.
"I'm Hyuuga Tira by the way. What's your name?" I point to my throat and pull out my pad. I hold it up. I wrote my name on the cover.
'Noriyoki Yuuki.' She smiles.
"So you really can't talk?" I shake my head.
"Not much. I don't remember." We sit down and pull our lunches out of our bags. I made my lunch last night. Rice, fried shrimp, hand-made dipping sauce, and a strawberry flavored onigiri. Hyuuga-san's jaw drops when she sees my food.
"Wow! Who made your lunch and can they come replace the cook at the Hyuuga estate?" I laugh.
"I…I d-did." Rondo-kun's jaw drops this time.
"No way! You couldn't have made all that yourself! I want to taste." I shrug and hand him the sauce. He dips his finger in the bowl and tastes it. I have to grab it back before he eats it all. I grab my pad and quill.
'It's not healthy to eat dipping sauce without anything to dip in it.' He laughs and starts eating his food. I start eating as well. "Tira-sempai?" She looks at me.
"What Yuuki-chan?" I put my food down.
'Where do you live?' She smiles.
"Right down the road from Uchiha-sensei and her family. You?" I shrug.
'I guess I'm staying with Uchiha-sensei right now. I don't have a home yet.' We finish eating and stand up. 'How old are you guys?' They stare at my note.
"Ten, I'll be eleven when we have the exams at the end of the year." Rondo-kun seems confused.
"I'm eleven, almost twelve. Why do you want to know?" I smile.
'I wasn't sure. What do the leaf symbols mean?' Tira-sempai laughs.
"The forehead protectors? Those are what full ninja wear to show that they're actual ninja from Konohagakure. You didn't know that?" I shake my head.
'No, I don't remember anything from before yesterday. I only remember my name, age, and birthday.' She nods.
"That makes sense then. Why did you get put with us though? If you're only 6. Rondo-kun told me how old you are." We walk back to class.
*Two months later* (Halloween^^)
"Rondo-kun, Tira-sempai, Kanon-kun, guess what today is!" They look at me. Kanon-kun just goes back to doodling.
"Halloween. Why?" I shake my head.
"No silly! It's my birthday!" My pad is long out of use. I only talk with it when I get tired of talking out loud. Tira-sempai hugs me.
"Happy birthday Yuuki-chan! I was going to ask you when your birthday was. Why didn't you tell us before?" I smile.
"I wanted it to be a surprise!" She smiles.
"Wow, you're officially 7 years old now. Congratulations! Do you have any plans?" I shake my head. Rondo-kun is so funny sometimes.
"Not really. I was thinking about asking Ushiiro-oniisama if he would help me get his parents to get me a house of my own built." I'm glad the four of us sit close to each other. Kora-neesama steps in front of the class.
"Time to start guys! Have a seat and calm down. Happy Halloween! And a happy birthday to Yuuki-chan!" I send her a death glare. I didn't want the entire class to know unless I told them. I cross my arms and pout the entire day.
I walk into the house.
"Surprise!" Everyone comes out of a hiding spot and yells at me. Ushiiro-oniisama tackles me. He's crazy. Several of my classmates are here. And a couple people I don't know. I find Tira-sempai and ask her what's going on.
"Silly, it's a birthday party for you! Oh I want you to meet my younger sister and brother! I also got my dad to come." She looks around. I think her siblings ran off.
"Great, Otou-sama put me in charge of them while he was talking to Uchiha-sama. Muro-chan! Michiru-chan!" I look around. I think I see them. Two little kids about my age, both with black hair.
"Tira-sempai! I think I found them." She sighs and drags me to where they were hiding.
"Yuuki-chan, this is my younger sister Michiru, she's almost two years older than you, and my brother Muro, and he's a month younger than you." I smile. Muro-kun blushes and looks away. Michiru-chan slaps him on the back of the head.
"Baka! Why are you blushing?" His cheeks get even redder than before and I start to blush. I turn around and go to find Ushiiro-oniisama. I find him and jump onto his back.
"Is this your team?" He nods.
"Yeah. Yuuki-chan, this is Hatake Akin-kun and Hyuuga Saru-chan. Where did the old man disappear to?" The girl shrugs.
"I have no clue where Otou-sama went. I think to talk to your dad Ushiiro-kun." Her eyes are just like Tira-sempai's. I guess it's a way to tell if someone is from the Hyuuga clan. The other two have those weird white eyes also. I wonder if they're really blind. No they're not! Tira-sempai read my notes just fine before I was able to talk.
"Ushiiro-oniisama, where's Uchiha-Otou?" He smiles.
"Probably in his office talking to Hyuuga-sensei. Why?" I smile.
"I have a request. It is my birthday after all."
