(Uzumaki Anzu P.O.V)

I'm first! I'm going to be first! I'm first I'm first I'm first I'm first I'm first! I flung open the doors to the class, excited that I was first here. I'm never first!

I wasn't first...

Dio was sitting by the window, looking at me, with a startled expression on his face.

"Morning..." I sighed trying very hard to hide my disappointment.

"Morning" He replied emotionless.

Silence

"Still dressed in black I see..." I tried to fill the silent void that lingered in the middle of class room between us.

"Yeah..." He replied again emotionless. This was only just getting more awkward.

I just stood there at the door staring at him and him starting at me.

"Are you going to...?" He started to say but I quickly interrupted "Yeah, I'm going to go sit down now!" I made a dash to the middle row on the opposite side of the class from Dio, closest to the door and sat there silently.

"She's so weird..." He mumbled too loudly.

"You say something?" I growled.

"No!" He yelled in response.

"Good! Keep it that way!" I yelled back even louder.

We both glared at each other. He eventually turned back around to look out the window and I averted my attention to the door, praying for someone I liked to come in soon. He is so boring. The only colour he wears is black. Black top, black trousers, black, black, black! So booorrring! He even had black hair and onyx eyes! Oh come on! Will someone please come through that door!

I started to hear chatter coming from the hallway. This caught Dio's attention too so I wasn't imagining things. Please be someone I know and like, please be someone I know and like!

The door slid open and Mizuki and Mamoru came casually in.

"MIZUKI-CHAN" I yelled leaping from my seat, over the row in front of me and onto her, causing her to scream, lose balance and then fall over with a massive thud. "Boy am I glad to see you!" I laughed.

"A Anzu-chan, Ohayou" Mizuki managed to stutter out.

"Anzu, you're here early!" Mamoru said helping me and his sister up from the floor.

"Yeah I wanted to be first here but unfortunately first place was taken." I said looking over my shoulder and glaring at Dio. He just rolled his eyes at me and looked back out the window.

"I I like your outfit" Mizuki blushed. I had completely forgotten about my new outfit.

"Hmm? Oh Yeah, my mum and Ino-san designed it and made it for me!" I smiled happily to myself, extremely proud of my outfit and I gave a little twirl. It was just perfect for me! My mum and Ino-san said so!

My top was like a body warmer, all cosy and warm, with a zip down the middle and a high collar. Down the front where the zip is, is white and from the collar bone up was also white, everything else was a bright orange that was slightly darker than my hair. I had on my black shorts and a short orange apron like skirt with a white circle on the front, right in the centre. I had skin tight sleeves that came from my wrists to half way up my biceps; they were black just like my shorts and my boots. My mum said it would help my muscles somehow; I wasn't really paying attention she was using far too many medical terms for me to understand.

"Mizuki, you are looking very pretty today, yourself! Did your mum doll you up for the big day?" I asked her still smiling with pride. She giggled, nodding her head in reply as her cheeks blushed a rose red colour.

She was wearing a yellow jumper that always reminded me of spring with a blue hood, cuffs and rim, and it was about two sizes too big for her. You could only see the tips of her fingers poking out of the end of the sleeves and the jumper was sitting a little lopsided. She had on a pair of dark gray shorts and top under her jumper that was coated with fishnet. Her hair was tied up in a simple pony tail with a yellow bobble that had two small sunflowers on them. Kaminari was sitting tucked on her shoulder sitting half out, half in her hood. She was a beautiful dark chocolate colour with ears, tail and paws all black, like they were dipped in paint.

Mamoru has a lot scruffier looking, so was Hayao! He was wearing a pair of 3 quarter moss green baggy shorts and a cream coloured top. He had a grey jumper on that was unzipped but unlike Mizuki's it at least fitted him. His hair was all over the place in a complete mess. Hayao was a completely black dog and was standing happily next to Mamoru and like Mamoru's hair; his fur was also all over the place.

"So what's all this commotion in the door way. We not going to our seats?" It was Kenji. He was standing behind us slouching against the door frame with one of his hands in his pockets. He was very much like his dad, well at least from what I can gather. I have only met his dad a few times, he comes into my dad's office often and since I want to be the future Hokage I hang about in my dad's office almost all the time. Kenji was in a plain blue three quarter top and a pair of black 3 quarter trousers. On his left leg was a small blue kunai pouch which was tied to his trousers with a blue band over a white bandage like patch. Kenji was left handed. His brown hair was tied up in a high ponytail and he had made no effort to try and get that side fringe out of his face, which was typical. With his hair tied up I could clearly see the small good hoop earrings that his dad gave him on his birthday. They were apparently important to his dad. He had on a pair of black fingerless gloves on too.

"Kenji-Kun!" I yelled excited to see him! He gave a wave as he yawned. He looked dazedly around the room and caught eyes with Dio. He nodded to him then looked back at me and Mizuki.

"Can we go sit down now? I don't want to be standing at the door all day you know." He said. Mamoru laughed and went and grabbed a seat at the back row, two rows behind Dio.

I began to follow them cheerily back to my seat but stopped. I turned back around to see that Mizuki hadn't moved. She was happily clapping Kaminari unaware that I was away back to my seat. I sighed and walked back to her, grabbed her other hand startling her and dragged her back to where I was originally sitting.

(Inuzuka Mizuki and Kaminari P.O.V)

Wow... people sure are starting to pile in. I don't really like crowds. Kaminari could always tell that they made me nervous. She would also snuggle closer to me to keep me comfort. I reached up to clap her behind the ear as a secret thank you. If I didn't have Kaminari I don't know what I would do.

I was happy chatting to Anzu before everyone started appearing. Well she spent most of her time yelling insults at my brother and Kenji~Kun and greeting people as they arrived. She's really funny and hyper like that. I'm too quiet. I could never be like that. She can chat to anyone. Well almost anyone. She hates Dio for some reason. Everyone does though.

I looked over to the other side of the room to where Dio sat. He was just daydreaming out the window. Nobody spoke to him. I don't think he really likes people.

At that point the door slid opened and Iruka walked in.

The class plunged into silence.

"Alright everyone" He yelled as he approached the podium in the middle of the room. "Today is the day you get your headbands and are put into your new teams of three! I want you all to listen carefully!" He continued before looking down at the sheet.

My heart won't stop pounding. I think it might explode. This is defiantly not excitement. I am so scared. What if my team doesn't like me?

"Hey, Mizuki~chan" Anzu whispered to me causing me to jump. "I hope we are in the same team but don't worry if you're not okay? I'll always have your back!" Her grin spanned the width of her face. I smiled back and I began to feel better.

"Okay team one!" Iruka called. "Asahi Shizue, Shiomi Diasuke and Umino Jun"

A girl with a short baby blue crop top and white skirt attached together with a white cross over her stomach and with a slightly smaller blue over skirt that cut up the sides of her legs, got up and walked to the front along with another boy with a dark blue high collared top and light grey shorts. His hair was a gold colour whiles hers was a light gingerbread colour. They looked like siblings except their eye colour was different, hers a bright blue and his, a mud green. I never really knew them. They were new in the village only arriving a few months ago.

Jun was Iruka's son and looked exactly like his father. He was dressed in white shorts and navy three quarter sleeved top, similar to what his dad was wearing.

They walked up to the front collected their headbands and walked back to their seats.

"Okay Team two!" Iruka yelled out again "Inuzuka Mamoru, Aburame Kaede and Uzumaki Anzu" My eyes shot to Anzu in shock. She got up along with my brother and the Aburame girl and collected there head bands. My brother looked at me with such sad eyes.

Don't look at me with such sad eyes Mamoru, please!

I looked down at my desk quickly avoiding them. My hands were trembling. I knew it was unlikely I would be on the same team as Mamoru but Anzu too? I am not on my own am I?

Anzu sat back down next to me in awe of her brand new and sparkling head band. She looked at me. "Don't worry Mizu~chan, you might be with Kenji." She said before our attentions got drawn back to Irukas annunciation of the team three.

"Hyuga Ryuu, Yoshida Hachi and Rock Iwao" That was team three.

Ryuu was a cousin of mine although I have only ever met him a few times. His hair was black and just past his ears at the back and with his fringe just passing his eyes. He was in a long white traditional kimono style top with a light purple rim and a pair of black three quarter shorts. Hachi was Tenten's apprentice. Her long brown hair was tied up in a bun with a thin long pleat that stretched down the middle of her back. She had on a pale pink, elbow long sleeved, traditional Chinese style top with a bright red rim and a high collar. The neck collar was open and was tied across her chest with bright gold buttons and gold thread. She had on a navy above knee shorts and black sandals. About half way up her calves was a white bandage wrapped firmly around her legs that disappeared into her sandals. Did she hurt herself again? Tenten can be a strict teacher and Hachi likes to really push herself to extremes. Rock Iwao was Rock Lees son. He had on a bright green jump suit with orange leg warmers and his black hair was cut exactly like his fathers.

"I'm pretty sure Iwao couldn't look more like his dad even if he tried!" Anzu whispered to me with a giggle as the new team walked back to their seats. I giggled back and out of the corner of my eye I caught Ryuu looking at me as he past. He glared at me instantly shutting me up stopped and I quickly turned back to face the front.

There wasn't many left to be called out now. I'm starting to get really nervous now. Iruka coughed and looked back down at the paper. "Right Team 4!" The class silenced. "Nara Kenji, Inuzuka Mizuki and Uchiha Dio"

"NO WAY!" A voice yelled out from the back of the class. Everyone turned to face the culprit, whispering and mumbling in shock of the sudden outburst. He was standing up, towering over the rest of the class who was sitting down. His glare shot directly at Iruka Sensei.

Mamoru!?

"YOU CAN'T PUT HER WITH THE UCHIHA!" He yelled again followed by an angry bark of approval from Hayao.

"Mamoru sit down! The teams have been decided!" Iruka yelled at him.

"BUT YOU CAN'T PUT MY SISTER IN A TEAM WITH SOMEONE NO ONE TRUSTS!" Mamoru banged his fist on the table and the loud bang echoed across the stunned room. I flinched.

"Your sister is clearly capable of facing the challenges her and her team will face and if she wasn't she would not be getting a headband today now will she? You are going to need to learn to trust your team mates and the team mates of others! No matter whom they are! And that goes out to all of you!" Iruka shouted to the class.

Mamoru was about to challenge him again unaware that Kenji was standing beside him. Kenji's hand landed on his head and pushed his body back down on to the chair.

He sighed. "Sit down Mamoru. You're so troublesome." He sighed again "But don't worry, teammates have each other's backs. Iruka's right." He said and walked on past him to the end of the row. Mamoru grumbled in annoyance and stuck his head in his hand.

Kenji and Dio both reached the table with the headbands and turning to go back to their seats as I still sat in mine trying to register what just happened. Quickly realising that I too had to collect my headband, I shot up and rushed to where they were standing. I looked down at the shiny blue headbands. They were all so clean. I gently picked up the closest headband to me being extra careful with it. The blue fabric was so soft and gentle on my fingers. I was amazed by it. I have tried on my mum's headband when I was younger but her one was not as soft as this one. Clutching it tightly but gently in my hand I turned and walked back to my seat, alone.
