Naruko flashes through some hand signs, "fire style, fire ball no jutsu," a large fire ball hits the target.
"Good job," the teacher says and makes some notes, "next move."
"Wind style," she makes a Rasengan, "Rasenshuriken," she hits the target and it explodes.
"Very good, next," Naruko sits on a bench outside as everyone shows the teacher the attack they were supposed to learn and there original attack. The Rasengan was originally my father's move but the Rasenshuriken was all my idea.
"You are really strong," a boy from Hawk clan says, he is a water style user.
"Thanks, but your water attack was really cool too," Naruko says, "combining water style and wind style to make a water tornado."
"Thanks," he says.
"Hey Imouto," Ichiro says and walks to Naruko.
"Whats up Aniki," Naruko asks, "I am in class."
"New brothers here and we all agreed that you get to greet this one," Ichiro says and pulls Naruko up, "I will take you to the office.
Naruko sits down in the same chair Raito was in the first time she came her, "I wonder who it is," Naruko thinks aloud.
Three sand ninjas walk in with a boy in the middle of them, the boy has red hair and the kanji for love on his forehead over his eye, "wait here," on says and points to the seat far away from Naruko.
"I can kill all of you," he says and sits down next to Naruko.
They walk into the office to talk to Grandpa, "what are you here for?" Naruko asks him.
"Why would you care?" He asks.
"Just curious," Naruko says, "depending on what you did decides what clan you are put into, like if you disobey orders then you are a rabbit. If you killed too many people without permission then you might be an Akuma or a dragon."
"Why are you here then?"
"I went on a little killing spree," Naruko says a little embarrassed, "what is your name, anyway?"
"Gaara of the sand," he says.
"Naruko, but everyone here calls me Yami," Naruko holds out her hand but Gaara just stares at it, "they don't shake hands in the sand, do they?" She puts her hand down awkwardly.
They sit in silent until Grandpa Walks out, "Yami, here to greet our new guest?"
"Yep," Naruko says smiling and the sand ninjas walk to her.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed girl, get away from him!"
Naruko smiles evilly and Grandpa sighs, "oh dear."
A murderous aura starts to radiate off of Naruko, "kill me, that is a joke right?"
Gaara smiles when he feel her aura and let's his go off too and the sand ninjas back away. Naruko steals one of their kunai, "hey!" The ninja screams at her.
"Yo," she says spinning the kunai around her finger, "ninjas like you aren't welcome here so I suggest you leave, now!"
"Yami, be polite," Grandpa says and takes the kunai; he is unfazed by Gaara's and Naruko's aura, "why don't you go and show your little brother to his room."
"K, come on Gaara," Naruko leads him to Akuma room, "this is where everyone in Akuma clan stays, choose a bed."
Naruko lies down on her bed, "how many people stay here?"
"Um you, Raito, Ichiro, and I, so four people live here," Naruko says, "when they get here I will give you a proper introduction and tour of this place." Gaara sits on her bed, "something wrong Gaara?"
"Why did you act like that?"
"I have to help my family," Naruko says, "and it is a pain when ninjas from villages stay here, everyone gets a bit restless."
"What do you mean family, this is the first time I have ever met you," Gaara says. Naruko is the first person since Gaara's uncle to show him kindness.
"Well one, everyone here teats each other like family, so we protect and defend our clan families. Two, I have to defend a fellow Bijuu and jinchūriki," Naruko says and sits up, "see this seal on my necklace, it is the thing that sealed the nine tails in me when I was born. But we fussed together so I am the new nine tails now."
"You can fuss with them?"
"Yeah, but both parties have to agree to it. Or the jinchūriki has to be unconscious and / or in a near dead state," Naruko says.
Gaara nods, "how do you know so much about it?"
"I have Kurama's memories so I know everything a Bijuu should know now," Naruko says with a shrug. She gets up and pulls the door open, "how long were you thinking about stalking around outside Itachi?"
He leans on the door frame, "I was waiting for you to come out," he says.
"Why didn't you just knock, for all you know I wasn't going to leave again?"
"Dinner is in an hour, I have time to spar," Itachi says.
Naruko sighs, "go away, I have to do things with Gaara."
"The new boy?" He looks pass Naruko to see Gaara, "I don't see how you two are even in Akuma clan, you look like you should be in Raven or Snake clan, and he looks like he should be in Dragon or Hawk clan."
Naruko laughs, "You're hopeless and I hate snakes," she pushes him out and closes the door, "now go away!"
"I can just kill him," sand goes to the door.
"NO!" She screams and the sand falls, "if you kill someone here then you get a transfer to get executed within the next ten minutes!"
"You are kidding right?"
"Nope, I watched it happen with the previous leader of Rabbit clan, they made him an example. Even though we have freedoms here, we are still only prisoners and they can kill all of us if we step out of the lines they have drawn for us," Naruko says and sits back down. She touches her choker necklace, "but being here is better than the village, I can tell you that much."
"Really?"
"Yeah, everyone here has done something wrong at one point to be sent here, so no one has any right to judge anyone," Naruko says.
"See they are already here!" Raito screams at Ichiro as they walk in.
"Don't let Itachi in!" Naruko warns them so Ichiro pushes him out and Raito slams the door and locks it.
"Papa is at a meeting so he will come later," Raito says, "I am Raito, your Nee – chan."
"I am Ichiro, your Aniki," he says, "and you have already met Yami, you other Nee – chan."
"Yep, from now on you are our Otouto!" Raito says, "Sand."
"No nicknames," Naruko says, "let him keep the name Gaara, I like it."
Raito puffs out her checks, "fine, Gaara, but it doesn't sound as cool," she pouts.
"Here everyone gets a clean slate so if you were always hated or something, no one here hates you yet so you can make friends," Ichiro says and Naruko punches him in the arm.
"Yet, what is this yet stuff?! Are you trying to say people like us can't make friends?!" Naruko growls.
"I am just kidding, 'lighten up', right?" Ichiro smiles, Naruko wants to hit him again but pulls the blankets and pillow off of her bed and crawls under it with them and takes a nap.
"Why is she under the bed?" Gaara looks at her.
"She refuses to sleep in a bed so she met us half way, instead of sleeping in the middle of the room, she sleeps under her bed."
"I don't sleep," Gaara says.
"Oh, well, um wake her up and have her take you to the library so you can read or something," Raito says, "she picked you up so she is going to help you until you are used to living here."
Gaara sits on the top bunk above Naruko's bed and waits.
"Are you going to wait for her to wake up," Ichiro asks and Gaara nods.
Raito opens the door and they both retreat to their beds, "she is under her bed, sleeping."
"Thank you," Itachi carries her out bridal style; Gaara follows him, "why are you following us?"
"Where are you taking her?"
"Why do you care?"
"Answer me," Gaara says and sand surrounds Itachi.
"Why am I in the air," Naruko asks irritated and Gaara makes the sand return to his gourd, "Itachi are you trying to kidnap me again?"
"You're awake," Itachi says looking at her but he doesn't make any effort to put her down.
"Yeah, and I want you to put me down now," Itachi does, "thank you….. Stalker," she mutters the last part.
"Your sister said it was ok if I took you for a little wail but your new Otouto followed," Itachi says.
"I am going to kill her," she says irritated, "let's go," both of them follow her, "just Gaara, Itachi go to your room or something!"
"But I am also going to the library," Itachi says with what looked like a little smirk.
"Whatever," she says and they go to the library, "you can check out a few books at a time and sign up for classes here."
"Classes?"
"Yeah, we can take classes to sharpen our ninja skills, like at school," Naruko says, "even though we are prisoners, our villages might call us back one day so they give us the option to take classes so we will be useful. But most people just lounge around, but I take a few so I won't be bored. I think they have night classes too," Naruto thinks.
"I am not taking any of their classes," Gaara says.
"Ok, wana get a book wail we are here so you can read, we aren't allowed outside after lights out, unless you have special permission or a class but then you have escorts," Naruko asks, Gaara shakes his head and they go back to the room.
Itachi is sitting on Naruko's bed, "how did you bet us back?!" She asks.
"I left before you two and I knew you would head here first," he opens Naruko's pocket watch, "fifteen minutes tile dinner," he says and closes the watch.
Naruko's eyes turn red, "how did you get my watch?!" She growls at him.
"It is easy to pick up dropped things," he says, "Do you want it back?"
"What do you think," she snatches it out of his hand, "stop stealing my stuff, and wail we are on this note, give me back my green necklace!"
Itachi puts it on her, "green isn't my color anyway."
"I know how to kill you without anyone finding out, you understand that, right Itachi," Naruko asks and her eyes turn back to their normal blue sapphire color.
"But you will never kill me," he kisses her on the check and walks to the door, "I will save you a seat at dinner," and with that he leaves, closing the door behind him.
Naruko is blushing, "STUPID TEME!" She screams and Itachi smiles a little as he walks away.
"Calm down, it was just a kiss on the check, it means nothing see," Raito kisses Naruko on the check.
"That is different, you're my sister!"
"Good point, I will get someone you don't know," Raito runs to the door.
"NO!"
Gaara blocks the door, "what is wrong Otouto?"
"Thank you Gaara," Naruko sighs, "Raito Nee – chan, that won't make any difference!"
"Why not, it is just a kiss," she says not seeing the big deal, "it wasn't even on the lips."
"You don't get it," Naruko says and flops on her bed, "and if you tell a boy to kiss me I will lock you in the boys' public bathhouse." Naruko thinks for a moment, "and no girls either!" She adds, knowing Raito, the thought has already crossed her mind.
"Fine," she sits on her bed on the other side of the room.
Ichiro sits on his top bunk and looks at the door. (For anyone who is confused, Raito sleeps on the dark red wall on a bottom bunk, Ichiro is on the dark blue wall on a top bunk and he can see the door if he sits up. Naruko sleep by the door on the orange wall, Gaara sits above her.)
"Isn't time for dinner now," Ichiro asks and Naruko checks.
"Yep, let's go," they all walk out the door to the dining room. It is set up like a cafeteria, you can eat anywhere you want but you have to return the tray.
Naruko gets miso ramen, Ichiro gets dango, Raito gets vegetable soup, and Gaara gets tongues, "are you really going to eat that?" Raito asks looking at his tray.
"Yes, it is my favorite."
Raito mouths, WTF to them and Naruko shush her, "Yami," Itachi says standing next to her.
"Where did you come from?" Naruko asks looking at Itachi who came out of nowhere; literally, he was sitting on the other side of the room.
"Over there," he points back to his table. Kisame is sitting there, "come on, I saved you a seat."
"Later," Naruko says with a sigh and follows him.
She sits down next to Itachi and Gaara sits next to Kisame, "you should sit with your other sibling so you can get to know them," Itachi suggests to Gaara.
"I am fine here," Gaara says and they start eating.
"You have improved a lot since I started tutoring you but we should still have practice before bed," Itachi says and Naruko nods.
She drinks the last of her ramen, "I want you to teach me something better than fire style fire ball no jutsu."
"You are still a beginner Yami – chan," Itachi says and takes a sip of his tea.
"I don't care; I am stronger than you think," she gets up, "give it back!"
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Itachi give me back my chocker necklace now, I know you just stole it!" He pulls it out of his pocket and she puts it back on.
"Raven my butt, you're a Rat," she says and goes to put her tray away.
"Why do you steal her things?"
"To give her a reason to visit me," Itachi says.
"You could always just ask me to," Naruko says as she sits back down, "instead of stealing my stuff. Frog wallet," she holds out her hand and Itachi gives it back, "pick pocket. Maybe I should listen to Sasuke when he tells be to stay away from you."
"How is he?"
"He still wants to kill you and is still oblivious to the real reason you killed your clan," Itachi chokes a little on his tea, "oh sorry, was that supposed to be a secret between you, the Hokage, council, and Grandpa?"
"How did you hear about it?"
"I am a demon Itachi, how do you think?"
He sighs, "You need to stop spying on everyone."
"And you need to stop pick pocketing my things," Naruko counters.
"Do they always argue like this?"
"Yes," Kisame says, "if this is how they act wail they are dating then I am scared to see how they act when they marry."
Gaara look at Kisame, "dating?"
"Yeah, sometime people call them Dark Raven or ItaYami," Kisame says, "no one has anything better to do anyway."
"Dark Raven?"
"Yes?" Itachi and Naruko look at Gaara and answer at the same time.
"Told you," Kisame finishes his sushi and walks away.
"That reminds me," Naruko says and gets up, "I have to study, training is canceled tonight," she walk away but Itachi grabs her arm. Gaara isn't happy about that, "yes?"
"Hair tie," Itachi says as his hair falls, "now please."
"Nope," she says and leaves in a puff of smoke.
"Yami – chan," Itachi walks out of the cafeteria to look for her.
"Too easy," she smiles as she climbs out from under the table.
"He got you too," Gaara says, "but I got it back," he puts the watch on the table.
"How does he do that without me noticing," Naruko asks and puts it back in her pocket, "thanks."
Gaara nods and goes to put his tray away, "hair tie," Itachi takes it, "I will see you in five minute in the training room."
"Training is canceled, I need to study!"
"Ok, seven thirty tomorrow morning," Itachi says, "good night."
"Night," she says and waits for Gaara.
"Where are we going now?"
"Showers," she says and takes him back to the room. She opens a hidden door next to Ichiro's bed, "follow me."
"We have our own showers?"
"Yep, but it was built after the fact so no one knows about it except for us," she points to the red shower curtain, "that is Raito's," she points to the blues shower curtain, "that on is Ichiro's," and she points at the orange shower curtain with the same seal that is on her necklace on it, "and this one is mine. Choose a shower and customize the curtain.
He walls into the yellow curtain show next to Naruko's, "this on is fine."
"Ok," they shower.
"Why is it so steamy in here?!" They hear Raito scream, "Yami are you taking a shower?!"
"Gaara is too so watch out for the," Raito screams as she falls after tripping on something, "gourd."
"Thank!" She screams irritated and gets up.
"It isn't my fault you can't see," Gaara picks in up, he is only wearing a towel around his waist.
"Put your clothes on!" She shrieks as she starts to blush.
"Why should I?"
"Gaara," Naruko walks to him and whispers, "she must have hit her head, please just do it before she does something stupid."
Gaara walks away and gets dress and they walk out of the bathroom, "what are you wearing?"
Naruko is wearing a long red shirt that does down to her knees with the kanji for Kyuubi on her back in orange, "night shirt, why?"
"NO reason," Gaara says and she goes to sleep under her bed, "why do you sleep under the bed?"
"Because I like to sleep on the floor," she says, "nine o'clock, night Gaara. Night Raito, Ichiro," she screams and goes to sleep.
"Night!" They scream back.
Gaara sits in his bed and looks at the room, "why is this room so big for four people?"
"They thought that this clan would be bigger," Ichiro says walking out in a night shirt and pants as he dries his hair, "but the largest clan is Bird, so it has mini clans."
Gaara nods as Ichiro climbs into bed, "lights out isn't until ten but we all go to bed around nine now."
"Yeah, so Yami doesn't try to kill us like last week," Raito says, "we tried to make her stay up to lights out and we both almost died."
"That is because you spiked me with sugar," Naruko says.
Both of them flinch back, "shouldn't you be asleep?"
"Should you be quiet so I can," Naruko says and closes her eye.
"Kami, I can never tell when she is awake now," Raito says.
Gaara walks to the door, "where are you going?"
"To get a book," he says.
"Read the one in your bed," Naruko says smirking.
Gaara uses his sand to put himself back on the bed and sees the book, "good night."
"Night," she says and they all go to sleep, except for Gaara, he reads his book.
