After Naruto visited, things started to set into their own little rhythm. I would go to school, walk with Himawari for a bit although I started calling her Hima now, then occasionally hung out with Shikadai and Boruto for a while. Although, mom didn't like me coming over all that much after she was over at the house with me and Naruto. Also, no matter what I was doing, I always had the feeling that someone was watching me and when I turned to look at whoever it might be, they vanished.

This had me on edge, especially since if they were watching me at the wrong time, they could find out my secret. On the bright side, whoever it was seemed to leave me alone once I was outside the village limits so I don't think they could see me change once I was inside my house.

This went on for a long while until it came to graduation exams. When the time came for the exams, our homeroom teacher came in and told us what we were going to be doing.

"Today your examination to see if you graduate will be over the substitution jutsu. The way the test will be done is by throwing these 9 centimeter ball bearings at you and you must pull off an effective substitution."

When he was through explaining the exam, a guy in the back raised his hand and I don't know why but he seemed familiar somehow. It was weird because I had never seen him before in my life. Anyway, he raised his hand and apparently wanted to ask a question.

"Yes, young man what do you want to ask?"

"Don't you think it's dangerous to throw steel balls at us." As soon as he asked his question everyone burst out laughing and took a bit of self control on my part not to laugh too. It wasn't because of his question because I kind of agreed since some people probably can't do it. The reason people were laughing was because of his voice because he was this guy that looked like he ate nails and yet he had the voice of a wimp. Not to seem like an ass, but his voice was squeakier than a mouse. Anyway, after that, I soon regained my composure and so did the rest of the class and the teacher answered his question.

"It will only be dangerous if you fail, and if that does happen, there will be medical nin incase there are any injuries."

My exam went smoothly. I did a substitution right as the ball was about to hit me then went back to class to wait for the others to finish up. After everyone was done with the exams, the people who graduated got their headbands and left. Among the graduates were me and Hima. I was pretty excited but Hima seemed to be keeping to herself as always but she was smiling a bit more than usual so that's a plus. We kept walking for a while until that feeling of being watched started to creep up on me.

"Whoever's following us, I don't feel like being followed, so show yourself or piss off." After I said that, the guy with the squeaky voice popped out. He had a headband on so apparently he passed too.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to annoy you. I just heard that you were in a similar situation as me and I wanted to figure out how you were finding a way to fit in so that I could learn how to fit in."

"What do you mean your in a similar situation to me?"

"Well, what I mean is that your an orphan living on your own and so am I." When he said that, I let out a big ass sigh. Say what you will about me, but everyone knows I'm a softy when it comes to a sop story.

"Ok, come with us." His face lit up when I said that

"Really?"

"Yeah, after we walk to Hima's house, we'll swing by my place." Just like that, he looked like he was ready to run. Had he seen what I really looked like? I don't think so otherwise he wouldn't have approached us. The possibility still remained though.

"Dude, what's wrong? You went from 0 to 100 then to like -20 in an instant."

"Sorry. It's just that I'm afraid of going into the forest."

"Why?"

"I don't know I just am."

"So that's why you never followed me to my house."

"Yeah."

"Anyway, you're still coming to my house." He really started freaking out at that

"What! But I'm scared of the woods." This guy really is a wimp.

"Oh well. Time to buck up 'cause you're coming whether you like it or not." Hima started giggling all of a sudden.

"What's so funny?"

"It's something i've noticed you do a lot. I've finally come up with a name for it."

"Oh really? What might this phenomena be called."

"Forcive hospitality." Didn't see that on coming.

"I mean I can't really argue with that. Mainly because it's true." Squeaky looked so confused.

"Does that really work?"

"For me it does. Although I think you should try something else." He had a confused and a little hurt expression on his face when I said this

"Why?"

"Because the same stuff doesn't work for everyone. By the way I don't even know your name, so what's your name?"

"Oh, my name's Yosen."

"Ok then. Let's go." After that, we went by Hima's house and dropped her off. Shikadai asked if I wanted to hang out but I told him I was having a friend at my place and I also told him to say hi to Hinata for me. After that, and getting Yosen through the trees, we got to my house. We just sat there and talked for a while and drank some tea. While we were talking I was able to gather that he hadn't seen me when I changed. Then, I took him home since he was too scared to go into the woods and then I went home to go to sleep.
