Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Academy


"So... I'm really a Konaha shinobi, huh?" She thought, gazing down at her headband, expressionless; emotionless.

"No... I never truly can be... not with this blood... and these marks." She hastily shoved the thoughts away and jumped from the window, from roof top to roof top, quickly moving towards her destination.

It seemed to only take minutes for Naruki... or rather, Naruto to reach the academy, then the room in which her class was meeting. It was noisy, but that wasn't unusual. Girls started to shriek--that was not unusual either--the idol Uchiha was in this class, after all. No one seemed to notice her entrance, besides Shikamaru Nara, who paid her no attention anyway. Not that she really cared... well, she didn't, but the character she played--Naruto--would hate being unnoticed. And the best way to make someone notice you in this room would be Uchiha Sasuke, but of course.

Jumping onto the desk, directly in front of him--giving him a bit of a start, not that he showed it--Naruki kneeled and glared at the famous prodigy. He, of course, (most likely as to not damage his oh so precious pride), glared black harshly. And with a bump from behind, the two's faces collided into a unfortunate lip lock. After staring at one another in shock for far more time then necessary, they both pulled back and gagged. A deadly aura surrounded them, produced by the fan girls, who looked more than ready to murder Naruto at that very moment. But, alas, before getting the chance, in walked Iruka.

Everyone shuffled to get a seat, and due to Naruki's amazing 'luck' it ended up that the only available seat was in between the crazy fan girl, Haruno Sakura, and Mr. moody, Sasuke. Which led to breaking the love-struck trance Sakura was staring at Sasuke with, imagining herself to be the luckiest girl in the world.

Staring at Iruka now brought memories of the night before, memories that Naruki wished to forget, so she pushed them away... Iruka called off the last members of team six, then. Naruki turned her attention to him, thinking silently of who would be on her team. She probably had around the very last rank, because of the Naruto 'image'... so... she would be with...

"Team Seven: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura." Iruka announced, staring at Naruto for a long moment before averting his gaze back to the list. "Team Eight:" He didn't have time to say anymore, for interrupting was definitely required in this situation.

"Why do I have to be on the team with that bastard?!" Naruto whined loudly, standing and slamming his hands on the desk in front of him.

Iruka echoed Naruki's thoughts out loud, and Naruto, who fell back into his chair, began sulking as the sensei called out the names of team eight, and then team nine, and so on.

Naruki's thoughts were cut off by Iruka telling her group where to meet there sensei after an half-hour break for lunch. The room next door. He then dismissed everyone, telling Naruto to stay for a moment- he had to talk to him about something.

"Naruto, be careful on that team," Iruka said once everyone else had evacuated the room, "Don't get into too many fights with Sasuke, and Sakura... well... you know what she's like already."

"Sensei, I can take care of it! And Sakura's my soon-to-be girlfriend, don't say anything about her!" Naruto whined, pouting slightly and still sulking from having to be on the "teme's" team. Iruka obviously noticed his students mood.

"Naruto, if you don't cause too much trouble after lunch, I'll take you to ramen tonight," Iruka said, smiling at his student, who began jumping up and down in false-excitement.

"No problem, sensei, see you tonight!" Naruto called, pretending to be insanley happy.

"Heh heh, poor kit."

"Shut up,"

Naruki's voice replied frostily. "Kyuu No Baka."

"Ack. I hate ramen."

"Like I already don't know this stuff?"

"Gonna play parent with me again, I suppose..."

"The hokage had to put the people with the most problems on the same team... The Uchiha massacre victim... The obsessed fan girl... and the Kyuubi No Kitsune holder as well as the-"

"Because my score was the worst and his was the best."
