The next morning was quite hectic or I guess that's the appropriate word. Lots of screaming and clothes tossing for sure. Sakura was having a hard time; the clothes she wanted to take with her didn't fit anymore. The great thing was I got those clothes, since I'm smaller than her. Hinata was quiet as usual and sometimes grunted in frustration when something didn't fit in her suitcase. And of course Tsunade was rushing us the whole frigging time like we didn't have the two hours we had. She must've been nervous. I couldn't really tell because my nerves were shot to the curb.

We all eventually got our bags packed and headed out the door. I'm glad it wasn't a long walk or my laziness would have killed me. The sun didn't bother us, unlike the others. Well to be honest, to them, we were the "others". We stuck out like sore thumbs. Hell Sakura's hair is pink, what kind of vampire has pink hair? Anyway, the trip lasted longer than to my pleasure. Finally arriving, I turned right back around as soon as we reached the big iron gates. Tsunade grabbed the back of my shirt and I cried to let go.

"I'm going to die here! Help me!" I cried out and students and their parents stared. I whined and complained the whole way so I knew that I had probably ticked off Tsunade to no end. With her free hand she whacked me on the back of the head and told me to shut up. Hinata and Sakura giggled uncontrollably at us. I growled and shut my mouth. I felt her release me and my first thought was to run for it but my feet stayed planted to the spot I was standing. I turned around and the academy's fountain sparkled immensely. I placed my hand over my eyes and sighed heavily.

"Sakura…tell me we aren't really here. Tell me I'm dreaming." I pleaded, the noises and smells overpowering.

"This is so not a dream. Look, look that boy has a puppy with him." I heard footsteps fade and I opened my eyes. I looked around, saw that Hinata and Sakura had ditched me for a cute guy with a dog, and I slid to the ground. Tsunade's scent was still strong but she wasn't in sight, so I figured she went to the dean's office. I pulled my favorite stuffed animal into my chest and placed my head on my knees. I was being overwhelmed with so many loud, crashing sounds and mouth watering scents. I sat like that for a few minutes when I heard something rolling.

That something was coming towards me and it bumped me in the back I opened my eyes and raised my head. I looked over my shoulder and a soccer ball had rolled into me. I glanced around in the bright light, seeing five or six boys waving their hands wildly for the ball. I put Snickers, my old stuffed plushy kitty, in my purse and smiled. I juggled the ball for a minute or so and lightly kicked it over to them. The boy standing the closest grinned.

"You're pretty good for a girl." I could feel my face heat up from anger and he waved his hand, motioning for me to come over. I strode over, trying to not look like I was that interested. Suddenly three scents filled my nose, sending tingles through my body. I ignored it and got closer. Holy shit, was the first thing that came to my mind. There they were, the three boys that had me curious. The one talking to me though didn't have a familiar scent, but he did smell amazingly nice.

"Do you play?" He asked and I glanced up at him, seeing the soccer ball was in his hands.

"Oh yeah all the time, since I was uh little." I never had played soccer after I was turned into a vamp but Tsunade told me I was really great at it when I was human. He smiled at me and waved his friends over.

"I'm Neji Hyuuga." Hyuuga? That was Hinata's last name before she was turned. My mouth fell open a little and I closed it quickly. I think he saw it though. He flashed a smile and I almost did a double take.

"V-vam—"

"This is Gaara, Sasuke, Naruto, Sai and Shikamura. Our other guy went off with two girls. One had some strange pink hair." He had known. He had to! He's the cousin Hinata was telling me about, and he knew that we were here. So we aren't the only ones attending, interesting. I plastered a fake grin on my face, and three pairs of eyes fell on me. Their mouths opened a little and I grabbed the soccer ball from Neji. They were not going to have time to talk about me.

"I'll play. Need one more?" I asked trying to keep cool. Sasuke just stared at me and the others agreed that I should play.

"Cool. I'm right defense. Hi-ya!" I threw the ball up and headed it. The ball went right towards Sasuke and it hit him square on the head, making him curse at the sudden pain. I stifled a laugh but the other five laughed so hard that they almost cried. Naruto slapped me on the back.

"I like you. What's your name?" He asked and I gulped his hand light on my back.

"Tori, nice to meet you." I mumbled and it seemed like Naruto and Gaara weren't even fazed. I glanced at Neji and he was smirking. He was covering for me, by erasing their memory, but he didn't erase Sasuke's. I wonder why. Hinata informed me that he could erase memories. I wonder…nah I don't think he erased mine.

"Nice to meet you too, Tori." Sai and Shikamura said in unison and Sasuke nodded at me, picking up the ball.

"Let's play some soccer." Naruto announced and I smiled. I believe that human school isn't such a bad idea anymore.

Whoot. Chapter 4 =] I like it. I use 'and' a lot. I need to stop that. Reviews and constructive criticism needed. Thanks for reading
