Here's Chapter 4. I also forgot to mention in the last chapter that Sora and Kairi are from the Kingdom Hearts series.
Akai slowly followed the rest of the students over to the next class, which was in a portable (A/N: If you don't know, a portable is a building that is outside that people take classes in.) The boy prayed that this teacher wouldn't be as terrifying as the last. One thing that Akai noticed when he walked in was that it was terribly cold. The chill made him move a bit slower, which annoyed some people. Akai looked to see where Sora was sitting, so that he wouldn't accidentally find himself close to the loudmouthed child. However, he soon found that the only seat left was right next to Sora. If Akai had been one to use bad language at his age, he would've cursed his luck but he didn't. He shuffled over to the seat and sat down. In front of him was Kairi, who Akai suspected wasn't too happy about where she was sitting either. Next to Kairi and in front of Sora was someone wearing a red bandanna. He couldn't see her face, or her hair, but the person struck him to be feminine. He figured that it would be a bad idea to ask her (A/N: Seriously, don't do this. I know from experience.), and he didn't want to ask Kairi because he didn't know her very well, and he didn't want to ask Sora because he was afraid that he would talk to loudly and attract attention. A brown-haired woman with lots of odd-looking jewelry suddenly appeared out of nowhere on top of a table at the front of the classroom. "Hello there, everyone." She said. "I am Rukia Mitsubishi, and I'll be your second period teacher. I'll be teaching you how to write properly in katakana and kanji." Some people groaned when they heard that. Akai didn't, but in his mind he was. Katakana was insanely hard to learn, because it had so many symbols in it. As for Kanji, no one even knew what the hell that was. When Rukia heard the groaning, she said, "Please shut up, class." and it actually worked. "You'll find that writing and reading properly is extremely important, especially when you have to start dealing with scrolls." "Now, for today, I want to you to write, in hiragana, about yourself. Write your name, where you live, your hobbies, and why you want to be a shinobi. After everyone's finished, anyone who wants to can read theirs aloud." She made a hand sign, and suddenly index cards and pencils appeared on all of the desks. "You have five minutes." Akai picked up his pencil and wrote down the easy things, his name; Akai Hisakata, where he lived, and his hobbies; looking at the moon and dancing. The last question, however, stumped him. He was ashamed of himself, he should've known from the start why he wanted to be a shinobi. Not sure of what his real reason was, he simply put down: To help others. Suddenly there was a ringing noise, which let everyone know that time was up.
Rukia looked up from a magazine that she had been reading, which had a picture of an extremely busty and beautiful blond haired woman on the front cover, and was entitled "Kunoichi Retreat", and in capital letters it read: "MAIN ARTICLE: LEGENDARY SANNIN TSUNADE FINDS OUT A WAY TO LOOK THIRTY YEARS YOUNGER!!" Why would anyone wanna do that? Akai wondered. Akai had a long way to go on the path of understanding women. "Okay, then everyone, does anybody want to read what they wrote?" Sora quickly raised his hand. "Go ahead." Rukia said. "My name is Sora Kyuusho!" The brown-haired boy said, in a pitch that almost made the poor child next to him make an odd noise. Is something wrong, young man?" Rukia asked since she didn't know Akai's name yet. As all people do for some reason, everyone turned around to look at him. The red head lowered his eyes and said "No." "Okay then Sora, continue." Akai braced himself. "I live in the Village Hidden in the Leaves! I like playing with my friend Kairi (Kairi shifted in her seat), and making new ones like Akai (No one knew who the hell that he was)! The reason I want to be a shinobi is, um…" To Akai's surprise, Sora's voice suddenly faltered and he started talking in a much softer voice. ""To find a couple of things that I lost."
Everybody except for the red-haired child laughed at that. Rukia looked at Sora thoughtfully, knowing what he was really talking about. "Okay, anyone else?" she asked.
Kairi raised her hand. "My name is Kairi Mizugiwa. I'm originally from the Land of Tea, but three years ago my family and I moved here. I like going to the beach, and I want to be a shinobi so that I can protect the pretty things in this village like the beach." "Good." Rukia said. "Anyone else?" A few more people read about themselves, and soon the bell rang and it was time to go. "Be prepared to write next week", Rukia said as they left. As they walked back towards the Academy Sora walked up beside him. Darn. Sora's face had brightened up again, and he and had gone back to talking extremely loudly. It was annoying Akai to no end. But I guess I'll have to deal with him for the next four years. "Our next class is gym!" Sora exclaimed. "I think we'll do a lot of fun stuff in there, don't you?" "Um, actually I don't even know what that is." "You've never heard of gym?!" Sora's voice went up in pitch and, Kairi and Yuri turned around. "Shut up, Sora." Kairi said flatly. "But this guy-" "I don't care. You talk too much and too loudly. You're an embarrassment to everyone who hangs out with you. And what you wrote on the index card was a lie. You and I are no longer friends, Sora Kyuusho. And you, the red-eyed person, I suggest you don't become friends with him either, or else you'll regret it." And with that, she walked off. "Sorry about that." Yuri said to Akai. "She's usually not like this." And then she ran off after her friend. Akai hadn't even realized that Kairi had been talking about his eyes. He was feeling sorry for Sora to have lost a friend like that, especially on the first day of school. "Sora?" he called out, speaking because he wanted to for the first time. "Hmm?" Kari's outburst had obviously wounded Sora harshly (metaphorically speaking), and his voice was soft once again. "So, um, what's gym?" "Gym is a period where you can do a whole bunch of physical stuff, like playing sports and doing exercises. It's really fun, you'll see." The two boys talked all the way to the gymnasium, and Akai suddenly realized that he had managed to make a friend.
All right! So that gives you a little bit of info on Sora. Oh, yeah and I can't think of a name for the gym teacher so if you guys have any ideas, please tell me!
