Midori's POV

The next day Sasuke and I go grocery shopping. He buy all kinds of food that I have never seen before but when he tries to buy something that says 'cat food' on the package I hiss at him and he puts it back on the shelf while shaking his head.

After dropping off the food at home we head towards the hokage tower to get his picture taken. I'm also going to get mine taken but Sasuke doesn't know that. I just pretend to wait outside for him and when he walks in I run to and alley and shift Into human Then I walk in through the same entrance.

The cameraman asks me to smile and I do. His cheeks is a bit pink before he takes the picture and I wonder why that is. After that I'm send to the hokage's office. He takes one look at my picture and begins to smile. He then looks at me and says

"I heard from kakashi that you call yourself Mira now"

I nod my head once and he seems to get he will not receive further explanation.

"Do you know what the picture of you is for?"

He asks and the answer pops into my head immediately

"Your shinobi-registration-book, A list of all the shinobis in the village and their abilities"

i don't know how I know but I do and I'm sure

"Yes that is correct"

he confirms and continues

"but this is a problem with you since we know very little about you and your powers"

he explains and looks at me expectantly. At first I wait for him to continue but then I realise that he's waiting for me to tell him my powers

"Well asides from the shifting thing that you already know about I don't think there's anything special to write down about me"

I state after thinking about it for a while. He looks at me like he knows something about me that I don't but then he talks again

"You're going to need some ryō since you can't keep depending on others to feed you" (AN: That's apparently the kind of money they use in naruto if you didn't know)

He gives me a little stack of money and I remember that he also gave me the clothing. I bow to him with my hands on my knees.

"thank you very much hokage-sama for the clothes, the money and for allowing me to stay"

I say and think about where I would be without him… nowhere nice

he sweatdrops and asks me to stand up straight but I refuse until he accepts my thanks, so he does, he then looks back at the paper. I get the feeling he forgot I'm here and begin to move towards the door. Then suddenly the hokage speaks again-

"You're going to meet at the academy tomorrow. There you will be put in a group with three others and get a sensei. Also Mira if I were you I'd be very careful about who you tell about your shifting"

I look back at him but he still has his eyes on the papers so I leave. When I get outside I see Sasuke standing looking for something

'I guess he's looking for me'

I decide to get to know him better in this form and approach him

"Hi Again I don't believe I got your name yesterday"

I say with a small wave. He turns his head, takes one bored look at me and turns back to looking elsewhere

'how come he's always in such a bad mood when I'm a human?'

I shake the disappointment of and I'm about to talk again when a large group of girls walk up to us and they all begins to send me murderous glares but at the same time sending Sasuke loving glances.

"Who do you think you are, trying to steal my Sasuke?"

a pink haired girl with green eyes in the front asks and she immediately receives a couple of glares but their eyes quickly turns to me again

"I'm sorry but I don't believe that he belongs to anyone but himself"

I answer quietly and feel the urge to run away and hide. But the need to stay with Sasuke is bigger so I don't move.

"Well you're wrong he belongs to me"

another girl says this one with pale green eyes and very blond hair. She too receives a bunch of glares before they once again turn their attention to me. I wish I could just disappear into thin air right there. But then that weird feeling sets in and I feel my shyness getting washed away by a wave of that boiling feeling. I turn around to face Sasuke who seems unable to escape the horde of girls.

"Sasuke, I assume that's your name, do you indeed belong to any of these girls?"

I ask him and looks straight into his eyes, they show surprise but also amusement as he answers.

"no"

I look back at the two girls who seems to be… whatever the opposite of happy is. Then before my courage fails me and my shyness once again takes over I look at Sasuke and smiles

"I'm hungry, care to show me a good place to eat?"

He stares at me for a second then smirks and nods once before beginning to walk away. The speechless girls part to let us through.


Sasukes POV

"no"

I answer her and enjoy the reactions she looks back at Sakura and Ino and I do the same. They're fuming and looks at the girl with murderous intend. Then she turns back and one again looks at me with those green eyes, they're not pale green like Sakura or Ino's either, Her's are grass green. Then she smiles and says

"I'm hungry, care to show me a good place to eat?"

I stop dead in my tracks. When she smiles it's as if everything gets just a little bit better. Then I snap back and quickly transforms my appearing smile into a smirk. then I nod once and turn to leave. She quickly catches up with me and we walk in silence, not awkward but not comfortable either. I decide that she's interesting enough to give some of my attention to.

"So I don't really remember your name..."

I say just before we get to Ichiraku ramen. I sit on a chair and she sits on the one next to me. I place my order and wait for her to do the same

"I'll have what he's having"

she says and looks at me with a bit of a pout since I forgot her name. It makes her look… cute? before I can scold myself for even thinking such stupid things she speaks

"Mira, my name is Mira"

When I hear it I recognize it

"I'm going to start my genin-training tomorrow"

she says shortly after and I wonder how that will work since we're supposed to be in groups of three, but before I can ask our food arrives and I begin to eat. after eating a couple of spoonfuls I look up at mira and see that…

'WHAT?! she's done? how? when? Maybe I just eat super slow or something, this is happening way too often. Maybe… no way that's ridiculous. Those eyes though, so similar'

She wipes her mouth and suddenly her head perks up as if she heard something coming. Then a second later Naruto comes running for no apparent reason. He slows down just before crashing into anything then sits on my other side and orders a bunch of ramen. He looks at Mira and right through me

"Hi Mira you like ramen too?"

he smiles widely at her and I feel a little annoyed being completely ignored. But I just ignore him back and concentrate on eating my ramen.

"Yeah"

she says and smiles. Not as bright as before but still enough to make him blush. That makes something activate inside me and my mood takes a turn for the worse. I send Naruto a glare and the blush disappears and he frowns and begins to eat his ramen. I finish my bowl and stand up.

"Mira you live in the same direction as me right?"

an unspoken order to come along and she gets up as well and gives a nod to confirm. I look at her empty bowl again and wonder if the cat with the bright green eyes and the girl with the bright green eyes are somehow connected.

'Well at least I eat faster than Naruto'

I look back to see him still eating and feel a bit too pleased with myself. But then I look in front of him where four empty bowls are stacked already.

'Well I guess it's just me eating slow'

Then I leave with Mira following close behind

When we reach the Uchiha compound I turn my head and looks at her.

"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow"

then before she can answer or make me lose my cool with another smile I turn away and walk to my door. Then the urge to look back becomes to big and I give in to it. Luckily she's not looking at me. My eyes dwell on her retreating figure until she takes a turn and she's no longer visible. Then I unlock my door and go in.


Midori's POV

I feel his gaze burning on my back the whole way until I turn around a corner and disappear from his line of vision. I make sure that no one is around then I shift into a cat. I take a detour to make sure Sasuke won't see me coming from the same direction as 'Mira' went.

When I'm only ten meters away from the house suddenly someone speaks from behind me

"Ino don't be stupid of course he dumped her right after getting away, so why are we here?"

I recognize the voice as the pink-haired girl from earlier

"I just want to make sure that little witch didn't deceive him"

Another voice says I recognize it as the blond girl from earlier and asume her name is Ino.

I really don't want to deal with these two so I hurry to the door and meow once then wait…

'what's taking so long?'

"Oh look Ino a cat!"

someone screeches from behind me

'oh no'

"Do you think it's Sasuke-kun's?"

the same voice says. I meow again and wish that Sasuke would hurry and open the door.

"No idiot that cat is all black so it's obviously bad luck, ugh get away from Sasuke-kun's house stupid cat"

the last clearly directed at me. I meow a little louder as the girls sneak closer I grow anxious. Well this is one of the problems with this form, No chakra so no defence. The two girls are moments away from launching themselves at me when the door opens and Sasuke's figure stands in the doorway, I have never been so happy to see anyone, and I hide behind him very fast.

"What are you doing here?"

so emotionless, so cold that voice I've never heard before, for a second I think he's talking to me and freak out a little trying to figure out what I did to make him so… unhappy with me. But then another voice answers and I realise that he was talking to the girls.

"But Sasuke we just don't want you to get unlucky because of that cat"

wow she almost sounded disgusted when she said the word 'cat' and I peek out from behind Sasuke to see that it was that… Ino was it? well the blonde one, who spoke

"This 'cat' belongs to me. Don't touch it"

he says shortly and then slams the door closed. He crouches down and looks at me for what seems like forever looking at me for at least five minutes he picks me up and scratches me lightly under my chin. I purr in response and he seems to be satisfied with the reaction and puts me down. Then walks around the room to turn off the light and then walks into his bedroom. I wait until I think he's done changing then I follow. He's already laying under the covers when I jump on the bed. I lay down next to him and he lays a hand on my back.

"I'm sorry I didn't open right away, I fell asleep"

I just look at him trying to tell him that it's okay with me eyes. another problem with this form: not being able to talk.

Then he closes his eyes and I listen to his breathing until it's even, then I close my eyes as well feeling the fatigue from the many unexpected events today.
