I do not own Naruto nor do I own any other Anime, though this story is all mine!

Chapter 3: Vacation's Over

Kaiya sighed as she continued folding clothes in her family clothing shop

Kaiya sighed as she continued folding clothes in her family clothing shop. It was small and near the ninja academy but people came in every now and then. Kaiya slipped on her headphones and listened to her western rock music. She loved all music especially new ones. As she picked up an orange shirt, there was a sudden jerk at her hair. She whined and whimpered a bit, and tried to figure out who would do such a thing to her.

"Y'know… mom's gonna be pissed if she finds you with your headphones on… 'specially since you're supposed to be workin'."

It was Seizu… her older brother. The entire Nakata family had moved here from the Sound village. The atmosphere was too dark in that region. Seizu was highly against the move until one day he got a letter. Then he his mind changed around completely. The family quickly moved into the Hidden Leaf village and swore loyalty to it. He held her up by her hair and tapped his feet. She whined a bit more then hurriedly pulled the headphones out.

"I'm sorry, Nii-san… It won't happen again…" she obediently said. She loved the sound of music however, and it was bound to happen again.

Naruto, Ein, and Kasumi strolled into the store eyes buzzing about looking for clothing for the former two. Kasumi walked over to Kaiya and gave her a smile, and patted her head gently. Kaiya smiled and mouthed a hello to her.

"Where is that good for nothing brother of yours… Whenever I don't see him when I enter this store, he is either out training or is about t-" Kasumi paused after feeling someone's hand caressing her bottom. Kasumi's eye twitched as he turned around. Seizu was drooling as he was fondling nice, round, soft-

WHAM!!

Seizu was instantly on the ground with a bruise on his cheek. Kasumi straightened her hair as she blew at her fist. "Seizu-kun… there is a medical term for that… it's called pervertedness…"

Seizu stood and laughed. "Maybe this would stop happening if you would just accept my proposal. How about tonight? I here there is a new ramen shop opening up. Maybe we could hook up there."

Kasumi looked to Kaiya and nodded towards her. Kaiya got up and walked over to her brother and poked a finger at her brother. "Kasumi-sama's answer is always no… no no no." Kaiya giggled a little bit as Kasumi walked back to the other boys.

"Ein?" Naruto whispered.

"Yeah?" Ein replied.

"Remind me not to touch your sister's bottom."

"Can do," Ein smiled.

Kasumi looked at the two guys and sighed. "Well, what are you two standing around for? Find some clothes!" The two boys hopped to attention and instantly started picking out clothing. Naruto knew exactly what he wanted. A black shirt with orange pants… Perfect. Kasumi laughed at the boy's choice in colors, but Naruto only gave a strict look meaning he was serious. Kasumi looked to Kaiya and asked how much they were. Kaiya walked over to look and saw Naruto.

She froze. His eyes… they were so blue. A deeper hue then the sky. Her hazel eyes were locked as they stared into them. Naruto looked confused. "W-Why are you looking at me like that?" Kaiya blushed, then looked away. "They are-"

"Free today!" Seizu exclaimed. He walked over to the three of them and leaned against his sister with his elbow. Kaiya rolled her eyes and nodded. "As long as you tell me what the almighty Kasumi is doing babysitting two pesky-looking kids."

Kasumi sighed as she opened her mouth to speak. "Well… It's the Hokage's orders to take care of the blonde, Naruto, here. And… hey… where did Ein go?"

Ein was busy in the backroom getting dressed. He had already picked out the clothing he was going to where for the rest of his life. He had a white shirt on with a green vest over it. His silver hair still needed work, but he wore baggy beige pants, which made everything look pretty much okay. He stepped out and moved beside his sister.

"Nee-san?"

Seizu's jaw dropped. "Did he just say 'Nee-san?'? What the hell?! Since when do you have a brother? Why did I not know this?"

Kasumi turned from Seizu and ignored his questions. "Otouto-chan… you look perfect. Naruto… you look… perfect? Now let's go get you kids registered for schooling!"

They exited the store with Seizu's jaw dropped. "Geez, Kasumi… that's so cold. What do you make of them Kaiya?"

"Naruto is rock… the other one has none," she replied.

"Rock, huh? That's weird… I haven't heard something like that in this village. You sure? And about the other one being mute? You are certain?"

"I know music."

Seizu smiled as he watched Kasumi leave. "Hey why don't you go on to school with them? It'll be a fun event for you. Tell Kasumi-chan to give me a call."

Kaiya nodded and grabbed her things. Just as she was heading out the door, she heard a slight beat change in her brother's usual jazz music. It sounded a bit sadder but it was always changing in and out. She walked outside and ran to Kasumi and took her by the hand.

Seizu sighed slightly. He went to the shop drawer and read over his orders thoroughly. "Maybe that damned girl will allow herself to be fooled…" he grinned menacingly and then placed them back into the drawer.

--Shinobi Academy--

Ein and Naruto sat in the back of the classroom scanning the room. A few guys seemed to be around the room staring at all the girls hovering over some kid in a blue shirt. Ein sighed as waited for his first day of training to becoming a shinobi. He looked over to his right to see Naruto already asleep.

"Hey… Naruto-san…" Ein whispered.

Naruto lazily opened his eyes and yawned. "Yeah? Wassup Einjeru-san?"

"Just call me Ein-san… I am not Jeru. Hey… why are all the girls hovering about that one kid?"

Naruto popped up onto the desk. "Dunno… I can't see from here…" He scanned the room to find a girl to the side sitting alone. She looked… so familiar… He hopped off the desk and proceeded to act as if to walk out the door to even catch a glimpse of her face. Ein just watched him move from afar wondering the true intentions of his actions.

Naruto's face changed exponentially when he saw her face. It went from curious to extremely embarrassed.

Hinata sat alone usually. She was an extremely timid girl so she didn't like much attention brought to her. The one time she had tried to help someone she was turned away and yelled at, and then yelled at again by her father. She was afraid she would be this way, forever.

"E-Excuse me… but are you… that… girl from that one time…" a voice came from in front of her.

Naruto looked away just as she looked up. He tried to hide his shame as much as possible.

Hinata voice came out almost in a whisper. She recognized the boy as the one she had tried to be nice to before but was shot down in almost a heartbeat.

"Y-Yes…"

Naruto bowed his upper half to her in apology. "I did not mean to be mad at you… I'm sorry…" He knew that he was hated in the first place so he decided that his presence was to remain as it had been before: absent. He returned to Ein, who still had an utterly confused face on him.

"Uhm… Naruto-san…"

"Don't ask Ein-san… Just don't…"

The class door slid open as the teacher proceeded inside. "Students return to your seats immediately." All the girls obeyed of course and got into their respective seats. "Class, I do believe we have a few new students. I hope you greet them nicely. Would the both of them please come to the front of the room?"

Naruto and Ein stood up and walked down to the teacher at the front of the classroom. The teacher smiled as he looked down at them. It looked like he had a cut across his face. "Now for you two. My name is Iruka… but it's Iruka-sensei to you. Understand?"

They both nodded and turned towards the class. There were a few notable people from Ein's perspective. One happened to be a girl in pink who hid her forehead with her bangs. Naruto, however, was staring at the kid in blue who looking down at them. It felt like he was demeaning him in front of the entire class without a single word. He growled a bit but Ein diverted his attention by nudging him with his elbow. "I don't want Nee-san to get mad because you sounded like a dog…"

Naruto nodded and kept his cool, for now.

"State your names, boys!"

"Sumisu Einjeru!"

A blonde girl turned his way and immediately fell within his eyesight. Their eyes locked as Einjeru simply noted that she wore purple. The two seemed to be locked in some sort of battle of the mind.

'This girl…'

'That kid…'

'Something about her is making me hate her.'

'My chance to finally prove my clan is stronger.'

'You are my rival…'

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

Iruka held one of his ears. "Oh god… another loud one…"

Naruto turned around and shouted, "Hey, I'm not another loud one! I'm Uzumaki Naruto!"

Iruka scratched his head as he pushed Naruto away to the rest of the class. Einjeru followed suit. "You guys can sit next to Choji and Shikamaru over there." He pointed out the small chubby kid and the lazily sleeping one in the corner. "Try not to disturb anyone."

Naruto and Ein sighed as they sat down. Shikamaru let out a lazy sigh as he said. "No need for formalities then. Don't really care to do so." He scratched his head and looked up to the teacher. "Hey sensei… isn't there supposed to be a quiz today?"

"Correct. Today is the quiz. It is a simple quiz because like I instructed you must show use of chakra that we worked on yesterday. Alright! First up. Uchiha Sasuke!"

Sasuke stood up from his chair and walked down to Iruka. He made a quick sigh and formed a seal with both his hands. And in an instant he made an exact replica of himself before Iruka. Iruka sighed. "Sasuke what did I tell you about skipping ahead in chapters?"

Sasuke made no reply as he walked back to his seat. Iruka looked to his students and began calling names of each one. Most students simply gathered chakra but a few used jutsu that shinobi are supposed to know.

"Nakata Kaiya! … NAKATA KAIYA!….. Someone tell that girl to take her headphones out of her ear."

Kaiya was sitting back listening to her CD player from her pocket and bouncing her head to the rhythm. A girl near her tapped her shoulder and pointed to Iruka, who was definitely not happy. When she finally got to Iruka he began scolding her until she simply said, "I'm gonna use my chakra now… Iruka-sensei."

She closed her eyes and then reopened them to reveal her eyes being clearly white and blank.

Iruka tapped his foot to the ground and sighed. "I'm not seeing you use chakra."

Hinata raised her hand into the air. Her eyes were active under the Byakugan bloodline that she born with. "But sensei… I can see her using it… She's using her eyes the same way the Hyuuga clan does."

Iruka looked somewhat surprised. "Is that so. Well I'll give you an A today, but make sure next time that others like me can actually see it working, Nakata."

Ein thought the girl was as interesting as ever. He wondered what her eyes could do… and what she saw when she looked at him. Kaiya's gaze moved over to Ein but simply kept going to Naruto. Her head suddenly began bouncing as she watched him but then she closed her eyes to keep from burning too much chakra.

"Hey loud new kid! Naruto right? Get down here!"

"B-but… I don't even know what chakra is… or how to even use it."

Iruka sighed. 'Kasumi… what kind of children did you bring me…?' "Who can explain it to him?"

The pink haired girl stood and started speaking without warning. "Body Energy is a vital force generated within the cells of living organisms. Combined with Spiritual Energy, or force of will and mental fortitude, it can be harnessed to a variety of uses, such as the production of the superhuman stamina used in taijutsu. It can also be used for formation of the energy known as chakra, essential to the use of even the most basic of jutsu." (Yes it was ripped from wiki)

Naruto looked even more confused than before. "That told me nothing…"

Sasuke made a small chuckle, which caused Naruto to literally leap at his new classmate. Ein, however, was able to grab Naruto's collar and with difficulty brought him back to his chair. "Let me at 'em Ein… I wanna just take one good smack at his face."

Sasuke turned around and locked eyes with Naruto. "Pitiful… and this is our future of shinobi? Simply pitiful." His eyes slowly turned to Ein's. And in that moment, it seemed like the world didn't even exist. Sasuke simply smirked as his eyes remained focused.

Ein, however, was simply uninterested. The blue shirt student didn't even give him a hint of competition. His eyes suddenly became locked and cold as if saying "Turn back or face the consequences." Sasuke sucked at his teeth and turned away his hands in the normal position below his chin.

Iruka brought Naruto to his heel in his chair. "Don't make trouble, or I will put you through extensive detention, understand?" Naruto looked away taking his attention from Sasuke to his new teacher.

Ein was not amused. "Naruto-san, if we get hurt by Nee-san… I'm gonna hurt you."

--Afterschool--

Naruto and Ein were near a tree that came equipped with its own swing set. Naruto sat in the swing slowly rocking back and forth. His friend sat in the tree, in the highest branch, dozing. Many of the other students were giggling and laughing their own gossip about the boys, but they didn't seem to mind. They were wrapped up in their own thoughts. Naruto finally spoke up first.

"Ein-san, I wonder why they talk about us. We aren't that popular already, are we?"

"It's because we stick out like a sore thumb… With my silver hair and your utter loud mouth, we were bound to be noticed."

Soon enough Kaiya joined them sitting under the tree. "Hi… You don't mind right? I honestly don't like those other girls… I just want a quiet place to listen to my music."

Naruto suddenly became curious again. "Why… do you like music so much?"

Kaiya smiled. "Because I come from the Nakata clan of the Sound village. My clan specializes in infiltration and with one on one combat. Everyone makes a special sound from the vibrations of their chakra… I can hear and see them, and the music that flows from it helps me predict what they will do next."

Naruto nodded not fully understanding but getting the basic concept. "So… I play music you listen to it and you know what I will do."

"More or less."

Ein smiled down to the girl below. He admired her simply because of her outcast behavior. It wasn't like she didn't want to have friends… it was more she hated the norm. He sighed and looked over to the rest of the students. He hopped down to appear right in front of her. It gave her no surprise but the two did look at each other for a long time. Naruto was in utter confusion.

"What's with the staring?" Naruto finally asked.

Ein held out a hand to her. "…We never properly met. Ein."

"Kaiya. Nakata Kaiya," she let out after smiling and taking his hand gently.

"Hey! EINJERU AND NARUTO!!" Ein knew that voice as if he had known it all his life. Kasumi was eventually tapping on his shoulder. "C'mon. I have something planned for you two before we head home. Oh yeah. Ein here you are." She handed him a case and looked to Kaiya. "Kai-chan. Seizu told me to tell you to close shop as soon as you can. He can't be there tonight. Go home soon after. He will meet you on your way there." Kasumi looked back to the two boys. "C'mon you two we have things to do."

Naruto stood up and smiled to Kaiya and waved a goodbye to her. Ein finally stood after examining the case for a long moment. He smiled to Kaiya and caught up with his sister and Naruto.

"It's okay Hinata. You can come out now."

Hinata came out from behind the tree red-faced. "I… I didn-"

"Which one, Hinata?" Kaiya asked abruptly. She knew exactly what had happened but she didn't know which one.

Hinata shook her head slowly and let out, "… Naruto…kun…"

Kaiya let out a small chuckle. "Kun? You barely know him. Funny… you just met him today and you already have a crush on him. I'll never understand how the heart works," she sighed.

--At front gate of Konoha--

"WHAT?!" they both exclaimed at the same time.

Kasumi grunted. "It isn't that hard. I want you to circle the entire town fifty times. We are doing this everyday so get used to it."

Naruto stammered in utter shock. "H-H-How?! Our legs can't possibly… I mean… I can understand like five or something… BUT FIFTY!? FIVE, ZERO!?"

Ein couldn't even speak. His jaw just hung loose from the brain damage his sister's words just caused him.

"If you don't get it done by sundown, you won't get any dinner for the night." Kasumi smiled as they grumbled away from her starting their first lap. "This is going to be fun. It's almost like they're my students already." She sighed. 'This… is going to be a very, very long experience."

As Ein ran he slowly opened up the case to reveal a small pair of glasses. "He placed them on his face and continued running. He noticed that he could see much farther now, but it didn't do much. He sighed. "Thank you Nee-san," he whispered to himself and then tripped to the floor.

"Tch. You'll never beat me on the floor."

"Beat you? I'm just trying to get dinner."

"Sure… If I haven't eaten it all by the time you get finished." Naruto sped off at full speed laughing.

"Damn you Naruto!" Ein yelled chasing after him.
