Chapter 2!! WOOHOO! Anyway, on with the story!

Ch 2: Friends and foes

At break Mitsukai was too busy trying to find her way around to even glance at someone else, she needed to find her locker so she could put her things away, but was having no such luck.

"Hi, you're Mitsukai, right?"

"Hmm, oh yeah, I am. Hi." She turned around to see a shockingly pretty girl with deep green eyes and bubblegum pink hair, 'The same girl from earlier.' Mitsukai thought to herself.

"Need any help?" Sakura said while smiling. She returned the smile.

"Yes, actually. I can't find my locker anywhere! Could you point me in the right direction?"

"Yeah sure, what's the number?"

"326"

"Oh, well, that's great; mine is just done the hall from yours! I'll take you; I was going to go to mine anyway."

"Thanks! This school is just so big!"

"I know. I got lost in freshman year all the time." They continued to make easy conversation until they reached the lockers a few minutes later.

"Can I see your schedule?" asked Sakura hopefully.

"Sure! Here." She handed the bubbly girl the slip of paper. Only now noticing she was wearing stripy socks coming from a pair of black converse with red swirls, and fishnet tights under them, the socks were multicoloured.

"Are you allowed to wear those?"

"Hmmm?"

"The socks?"

"Oh, yeah, you are. You can wear anything as long as you have the requirements. I guess it's to keep us happy, most schools around here are non-uniform."

"Cool, so why'd you want to see my schedule?"

"Oh, to see if we have the same classes of coarse! And we do, apart from. . ." She looked at the paper, surprised, then looked up, exclaiming, "You do advanced maths!? You're in the senior class for it!"

"Oh, yeah I do. (Nervous giggling) Why?"

"Nothing, just surprised, I suck at maths. Hmmm, looks like you're in Kakashi's class."

"Who?"

"Just some guy we mess about with. He's cool. In Sasuke's band." The way she said Sasuke, you could tell she was head-over-heels for him.

"You like him? Sasuke I mean."

"Yeah, it's not exactly a secret. I wish he would notice me!" She said, starting of shyly, then tiredly at the last sentence.

"Well, I'm not an expert, so don't ask me for help." She laughed

"Oh, we better get to class!" They jogged to class and went to the following ones, lunch arrived. Mitsukai met up with Sakura and went into the line, they were a bit late, and so everyone else in Sakura's group of friends was already seated.

"Hey guys!" She beamed at them. Mitsukai recognised Sasuke, and the spiky blonde-haired guy called Sasuke, but didn't know anyone else. Including Sakura, there were twelve altogether.

"This is Mitsukai, the girl that was introduced to us in homeroom."

"Hey." They all said in turn. Mitsukai sat beside Sakura as they all fell into conversation. They were spread over two tables that they must have pushed together, so that there were six on either side. Sakura interrupted her thoughts. "Hey, where's Shino?"

"He's still on holiday; I think he is coming home on Wednesday." Kiba explained. Mitsukai looked at him; he was sitting beside a shy looking girl with pearly orbs and long black hair. He had spiky brown hair and red triangles tattooed on his cheeks. She looked at the group. There were four girls and seven boys. In the boys there was a lazy looking guy with his hair in a ponytail, that reminded her of a pineapple, there was Sasuke, and Naruto, A guy with the same eyes as the shy girl, and long brown hair in a ponytail, there was a boy with a bowl cut, giant eyes and giant eyebrows, a chubby dude, and the guy with triangles on his cheeks. In the girls there was a girl with big brown eyes and her brown hair in two buns, the shy girl, a girl with long blonde hair in a ponytail and blue eyes, and Sakura. They were . . . different, she liked different.

"Oh, cool, well I guess I should introduce all of you to Mitsukai." She pointed to Sasuke, "That's Sasuke, then that's Naruto, that's Kiba . . ." and so on. She took in the names and remembered them. Just then, a guy with silver unkempt hair wearing a mask walked up to them, with a girl that had black hair and red eyes and a boy that was . . . smoking!

"Yo!" He said, then looked at Mitsukai. "Who's the random?"

"Aww, thanks, I'm Mitsukai." 'He's cute!' She thought.

"Oh, hey Kakashi. This is Mitsukai, she's new. Mitsukai, Kakashi, Kakashi, Mitsukai. And that's Kurenei, and that's Asuma." Sakura explained. "Oh yeah, Kakashi?"

"Hmmm?"

"She's in your maths class."

"But she's a year below."

"I know."

"Cool."

Kakashi's POV

'This girl is quite interesting.'

'And hot.'

'She's a junior.'

'So?!'

'Well, yeah.'

'You confuse me!'

'Whatever. I don't even know what she is like!'

'Then get to know her!'

"Kakashi, yoo-hoo, anybody home?" Mitsukai sang.

"Hmmm?"

"You zoned out for a second there."

"Hn."

Normal POV

They talked for the rest of lunch, and then went for classes. Mitsukai had maths next.
