NOW: Scratching the surface.
Sigh 'This is so boring...' Jaykoya thought to himself as he stood out in the hall, leaning against the wall. 'If I had known he'd be teaching an entire lesson before he brought me in, I would have gone outside and trained a little...'
"'Quit whining, Jay-san. You will be shown to your peers soon enough. Feel proud that you were able to save her from that wicked fate.'"
'That's true, Miri-sama. How did you know that she would be in that situation in the first place?'
"'That's for me to know and you to learn, young one...'"
The door slid open next to Jaykoya. Iruka's head poked out. "You can come in now." Jaykoya looks up, nodding.
Iruka looked back to the class as he walked to his desk. "Class, I would like to introduce you to...I guess you could say an exchange student. Yoshimaru Jaykoya." Jaykoya opened the door fully and walked in and over to Iruka. He bowed and moved some of his silvery hair from his face, showing a nice grin. "Good morning. Nice to meet all of you. As Iruka-sensei said, my name is Jaykoya."
The reaction to Jaykoya was mixed. A few of the guys just saw another guy in the class. A few, however, saw him differently, two in particular. One, A loud mouthed, blonde haired boy and the other, a black haired, quiet boy. Both stared at Jaykoya as he stood in the front of the class. Now, the girls in the class, on the other hand, simply swooned at his image. Sakura sweat dropped at the swooning, smiling at Jaykoya as he looked at her. He smiled.
"Now, tell us a little about yourself, Jaykoya." Iruka looked at him.
Jaykoya looked up, then at the class. "Yes, um...well, a little info about me first would probably be good to start with. My favorite color is green, I love to draw and write poetry, my two favorite foods are ramen and din-sum. I absolutely love a challenge and will never back down from a challenge. My favorite animal...well three favorite animals actually. I love tigers, monkeys and dragons. A little about my ninja way, i'm well versed in a lot of different tai, gen and ninjitsu. As for the ninjitsu, my favorite element is fire, but I can use all 4."
Iruka blinked. "Wow, that's a large claim for such a young man. Aren't you a genin in rank?"
Jaykoya shrugs. "Well, officially yes. I was on my way to becoming a chuunin, but..." his eyes soften a bit.
Iruka nods. "Oh..." he looks at the class. "For those of you who don't know, Jaykoya is from the village hidden in the volcano." a few kids gasped, having heard of what happend there a few weeks ago. "He is the only known survivor..." At this comment, both the blonde haired boy and the black haired boy looked at him, almost in understanding and sympathy.
"However, most of the elders said I had enough talent and power to skip straight to Jounin level." he smiles, changing the subject.
A few of the kids laughed. "Yea right. No genin can be at a jounin's level." said a random student.
Iruka looked at the class. "now now, settle down class." He looks at Jaykoya. "Well, if you are confident in your abilities, and are feeling up to it, would you like to demonstrate for us?"
Jaykoya blinks. "Demonstrate?" He shrugs. "I suppose. Would you like me to duel against one of the students or just show off a few of my Jutsu?"
Iruka crossed his arms. "Hm..." A few of the students in the corner stood up. "Don't let him fight anyone, Iruka-sensei!" All the kids turned around to the student who said that. "he-he's a monster!" it was the leader of the kids Jaykoya beat away from Sakura (See more then meets the eye)
Iruka-sensei looks up at him. "A monster?"
Jaykoya looks at the boy as well. "Monster you say? The only monsters here are you and your two friends..." he glared them down. The boy slowly sat down.
Iruka tilts his head, then looks at Jaykoya. "...well..."
Another outburst was heard. "Let me fight him, Iruka-sensei!" It was the blonde haired boy. "I'll fight him! I wanna see what he can do!"
Iruka looks at him. "Naruto?" Suddenly, a hand raises. "I want to fight him too..." everyone gasped as the black haired boy spoke. "You too, Sasuke?" Sasuke nods.
Jaykoya smiles. "Hm...Actually, of the group, those two stood out to me. I'll go against them."
Iruka nods. "But not two on one. We have to remember your injuries."
Jaykoya smiles. "If you say so. All i'll need is a cup of water and a candle."
Iruka blinks. "A...cup of water and a candle?"
Jaykoya nods. "Yes. That way I can use all four elements. Two for...Naruto was it? And Sasuke." He looks at Sakura. "Could you get those items for me?" Sakura blushes, then nods. Ino stares at Sakura as she walks out of the room to gather what Jaykoya asked for. Iruka claps. "ok then, everyone outside to the recreation ground.'
---------------------------------------------
Jaykoya stood on his side of the area, the two items he asked for on the ground in front of him. "So, who will be first?"
Naruto, before anything else could be said, charges at Jaykoya. "LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT!" He takes out a few shuriken and throws them. Sasuke simply grins, allowing Naruto to have his way.
Jaykoya simply dodges the shuriken, smiling at the charging Naruto. He quickly does a few hand symbols. "Doton, Rising Fist Jutsu!" He punches the ground below him. Simultaneously, a fist and arm made of pure rock juts up and slams into Naruto's gut. Jaykoya punches again. A second punches up, slamming into Naruto's face, sending him into the air. Jaykoya does a few more hand symbols. "Mizon, Entrapment Bubble Jutsu!" the water in the cup bubbles and flies up, surrounding Naruto. The water turns into a bubble around him, softening his landing and holding him in place on the ground. Naruto tired to break out with a Kunai, but to no avail. "Alright, that's it for Naruto-kun." the others ooh-ed and aw-ed.
Sasuke squints. "..." he jumps up and throws a few kunai and shuriken at Jaykoya. Jaykoya sees it at the last moment and rolls out of the way. Sasuke dashes in and punches at Jaykoya. The punch lands, sending Jaykoya sliding. When Jaykoya stops, his body smokes and turns into a piece of wood. Sasuke blinks. "Replacement..." he looks around.
"Katon, Flaming Tornado Jutsu!" Sasuke looks up, just in time to see the flame from the candle flying up and turning into a tornado of fire, flying at Sasuke. Sasuke does a few hand symbols, "Katon, Grand Fireball Jutsu!" A huge fireball flies from Sasuke and hits the tornado, canceling it out. Jaykoya, who had been hiding til now, appears behind Sasuke. A few hand symbols, "Kaze, Wind Shackle Jutsu!" Sasuke turns just in time to be hit by a blast of air, sending him flying. He slams into a tree, his legs bound together and his arms bound to his side. Jaykoya grins, clapping his hands twice. "Game over."
Iruka blinks. "Wow...that is...very impressive..." 'Impressive indeed...beating Naruto and Sasuke without even breaking a sweat...Naruto I could understand, but Sasuke...that's not an easy feat...'
Jaykoya snaps. The bubble around Naruto pops and Sasuke drops to the ground, landing on his feet.
Sasuke looks at him, smirking. "...I like this guy...gives me something to push to..." Sasuke puts his hands in his pockets and leaves, vanishing to the forest.
Naruto sits up, rubbing the back of his head. "Ah..." Jaykoya walks over and offers his hand. "Here, let me help you up." Naruto looks up, blinking. 'He's...nice like Iruka-sensei...why?' Naruto squints, then reluctantly takes his hand, allowing Jaykoya to help him up. "You're kind of rough around the edges aren't ya?" jaykoya chuckles. A few of the girls suddenly push naruto away, surrounding Jaykoya, yelling out names, now cute he was and other what nots. Jaykoya sweat drops.
Iruka claps. "Alright, break it up. Jaykoya has things to do." They all whimper and leave, except for Naruto and Sakura.
Iruka looks at them. "You better not keep the Hokage waiting."
Naruto looks up. "The Hokage? He wants to see Jaykoya?"
Sakura nods. "Yea, most probably concerning everything that's happened..."
Naruto looks at Jaykoya, nodding. "Alright, but you'd better come back tomorrow. I want a rematch." He grins. Sakura sweat drops.
Jaykoya laughs. "You got it, any time, Naruto-kun." He offers his hand out to Naruto. Naruto takes it and they shake.
----------------------------------------------------------
Sakura and Jaykoya walked along to the Hokage's place. "Jay-kun...I didn't know you had those kind of jutsu at your disposal."
He chuckles. "You'll see i'm just full of surprises." he looks at her. "I like those two earlier."
"Who? Sasuke and Naruto?" She blinks. "Sasuke I understand, but why Naruto?"
Jaykoya's eyes soften. "Because...both of them are like me, and I them...I could see it in their eyes and how they fought...the three of us were cut from the same fabric."
Sakura, not quite understanding, tilts her head. "What do you mean?"
"They have that look of emptiness and loneliness in their eyes. I don't know anything about them yet, but my guess is neither of them have a soul in this world...more so for Naruto..."
Sakura, seeing now what Jaykoya meant, looked down. "oh...I see what you're saying..." She felt bad now for some of the things she had said to Naruto in the past.
"Sakura...back in your house...you tried to kiss me didn't you..." Sakura was not expecting that, turned a bright red. "Oh I uh...um...well..."
Jaykoya was going to say more, but they were stopped by a couple Jounin. "Jaykoya right? The Hokage is waiting for you." they look at Sakura.
Jaykoya waves his hand. "She's with me." They nod, leading them up to the Hokage's office.
-------------------------------------------------
"I am sorry for what has happen to you and your village, Jaykoya." said the Hokage. "I know how much you must be hurting..."
Jaykoya smiles. "I try not to think about it, Hokage-sama..."
"Strong man..." the Hokage smiles. "Now...we need to find you a place to stay for the time being..." he begins shuffling through papers. "Sadly, at the moment, there aren't many empty homes or apartments for you to stay in..."
Jaykoya blinks. "In this big village?" he rubs the back of his head. Sakura looks at him, then at the Hokage, silently.
"Hm...well, you could stay here...at least until we-"
"He can stay at my house, Hokage-sama." Out spoke Sakura.
Hokage looks at her. "At your home? Sakura, you know as well as I do that would be highly inappropriate. It is only you and your mother living there. I just don't thi-"
"Hokage-sama, I was the one who found him in the forest and the one to watch him as he slept every day at the hospital. I made a promise to watch over him. I believe it would be easier if he were under the same rough, don't you agree?" Sakura pleaded.
Hokage looked at her, seeing the determination in her eyes. He looks, then, to Jaykoya. "What do you think?"
Jaykoya smiles. "I've no say in the matter, sadly. My fate belongs to you. However, Sakura-chan is practically the only person I know in this village, so I wouldn't complain if I were to stay with her."
The hokage sits there in silence for a few moments, then nods. "Ok...you may stay at the Sakura's home, but only until we can find you your own place or a more suitable place for you to stay." Jaykoya nods. "Yes sir."
"Also, tomorrow, the teams for the academy will be chosen. You, considering your circumstance, will be allowed to join whichever team you desire." A smile ran across Sakura's face as the Hokage said that. "Now, the two of you go. I've lots to prepare for tomorrow..."
--------------------------------------------------
Sakura sat in her bath, allowing the steam to envelop her. "This is great...i'm so glad Jay-kun was allowed to stay here...now none of those vultures will have a chance to get their claws into him...and, if he's here, there's a chance that Sasuke will be around a lot too..." she squeals to herself. "This is so perfect!"
Jaykoya was helping with cleaning the dishes in the kitchen. "Thank you for allowing me to stay here with you and Sakura, miss Haruno."
Sakura's mom smiles. "Oh, not at all. How could I say no to such a nice young man. It's nice to have a man around the house too." she giggles. "Now, if you need anything, don't be afraid to ask."
"The same goes to you, miss Haruno. I'll pull my weight around here, don't you worry." He chuckles.
Sakura's mom waves as she goes to bed. Jaykoya lays down on his bed, made for him down in the den. He lays there in silence. 'What a day...'
-------------------------------------------------
That's it for this chapter. Now, things will get confusing and a little sad between Jaykoya and Sakura next chapter. It will take place the day team 7 is formed and all the drama that occurred that day. Let's just say, Jaykoya's stay at the Haruno household may be short lived.
