Chapter 4

After a little kunai practice, Gai put a list of the top 5 on a bulletin board in the gym. All the kids crowded around the board and gasped. I got curios at what they were gasping about and went to go see the top 5. They actually made a clearing for me to walk through to see the board. These were the top 5:

Emily

Neji/ Sasuke

Gaara

TenTen

Temari

I didn't understand what was so surprising. There never was a girl better than Neji and Sasuke? Or was it just odd for me to be on the list at all. I walked away with the question still haunting me. I decided to ask Hinata. "Oi! Hinata!" I waved.

"Yes Ki- Emily- sam- chan?"

"Has any girl ever beaten Sasuke and Neji on the Top 5's list?"

"No, why?"

"Hah! You wouldn't believe it! I just beat them! Archery paid off after all!"

"You took archery?"

I was shocked by the sudden voice behind me. I turned around and saw Neji. I heard a little gasp behind me and I couldn't help but just stand there. He was talking to a girl that would be a minor student in his point of view. "Yeah, why?"

"Nothing that you need to know about."

I turned around to face Hinata and mimicked his face. Hinata giggled and we walked off to lunch. I kept telling her jokes and she would always giggle, not laugh. I decided to ignore the question and eat. As I stood in the line, I heard girls order salads and boys order whatever. I got disgusted by most of the girl's appetites. "What kind of salad would you like, girl?"

"I don't want a salad, I just a double cheeseburger."

The talking around me ceased when they heard a girl say 'don't' and 'salad' in the same sentence. I tried to ignore all the stares but failed. The only way to get my mind off of the many stares was to eat somewhere else.

My eating spot was the roof where I can clear my mind and relax. Sadly there was already someone else up there. He was Gaara. He's in my math class. I ignored seeing that he was ignoring me too. I ate my food quietly and watched the clouds go by. I finished my burger and layed down. "Why are you so calm around?" I heard a low voice ask.

"Why, should I be cowering in fear in a dark corner or something?"

"Yes."

I rolled my eye and continued to watch the clouds go by. "Are you afraid of demons?"

"Depends."

"Like what?"

"Don't know, don't care. Are we playing 20 questions or something?"

"Yes."

"I'm leaving then."

"No."

"Yes."

Suddenly, I felt something grip my ankle. "Get your sand off of me!"

"No."

I couldn't stand it anymore so I released some ice on the sand and it froze. "How did you do that?"

"Not telling you now, not ever."

I climbed off the roof and landed safely on the ground just as the bell rang. I ran to my next class, science. It was taught by my homeroom teacher.

The rest of the day went by so slow I thought I was going to DIE! I ran back up the stairs from study hall to my locker to meet Hinata there. I saw her bluish-blackish hair in the corner of my eye. (A/N: I don't get what color her hair is. I say it's blue and my friend says it's black.) "Hey Hinata! Over here!"

She looked over to me and walked over. "Let's go."

She nodded and we headed to the Hyuuga Compound.

Well, my hand hurts now. Happy Holidays! Ja ne!
