"and as you can see here, this one is the heart-" Kushina heard before she look outside her window. After that dinner with Minato, Kushina immediately run to her class so she can get a seat far away from Minato. Luckily she find a seat that has the best view to the board and away from Minato.
She never heard about how genius Minato is, but she could see that when Minato explain things about biology easily. Most female student sighed when Minato face the board, and suddenly become serious when Minato face them.
"Uzumaki, can you tell me what is interesting out there?" suddenly she heard Minato's voice being next to her. He caught her daydreaming already? Damn.
"err… the sun is in beautiful reddish shade?" Kushina answered him back. It come out as a question though. All people in her class laugh at her comment, except for Minato. He look at her seriously.
Then Minato bent down while putting his hand on her table. He look at her in the eyes while saying
"but I like your red hair better"
Seconds later, Kushina's face is in the red shade as her hair. Every female in her class sighed and look at Minato dreamily. before Kushina started to think anything, Minato said something else again.
"while we talk about red, you should make a resume about blood from chapter 2. Make it ten pages long"
She could hear some people in her class chuckling after Minato told Kushina she has extra work.
"Class dismissed" Minato said without turning his attention to his class.
"Jerk!" Kushina said to him. "I don't hate you! I loathe you" Kushina said in her low voice. But Minato just laugh at her comment.
"Remember your work, Kushina" Minato said before leaving her table

The next day, Kushina has her first art class. Apparently she chooses the wrong subject, she should have chosen Martial arts, instead she got stuck in experimental art.
And, the worst thing? Minato is in same class again with her.
The best? She had Ichi with her.
"Kushina, I never know you like art?" Ichi asked her. They both share the same table, well after Kushina run to Ichi and demand him to be her seatmate for the whole class. Ichi happily agree, but Ichi's fans are not happy with Kushina.
"I never know I like art either" Kushina answered him. She could see herself falling asleep already.
"well you will like experimental art. I heard the put a famous novelist to teach this class "Ichi said to Kushina.
"aah we will draw something probably. I hope it's not a naked something" Kushina commented. Ichi laugh nervously after hearing that.
While both Ichi and Kushina having small talk before their teacher come, Minato has been watching both of them from behind. He choose experimental art because he know who will teach this class. And he won't have any extra work if he choose this class. the teacher promised Minato personally, If Minato took his class this semester. Minato agreed to that teacher condition and put Experimental art in announcement board.
After Minato put an announcement that he will choose experimental art, suddenly girls and boys assign to the same class. It appears that if the teacher of this class didn't gather enough students, this class will be dismissed. And that teacher used 'Minato' card to gain students for his class.
Minato almost come to his teacher and blackmail him, so he could get away by not entering this class too. After seeing Kushina attending this class too, he could bear to enter this class every day.
Then the door to their class opened. A man with white hair long hair come and enters the room.
"GOOD MORNING CLASS!" he said too excitedly. The whole class just answered normally and lazily.
"My Name is Jiraiya! And I will be your teacher for this class! You must read some of my work before!" that man, whose name is Jiraiya said. The whole class just said "noooo"
"eh? You have lost some of your youthful moment!"Jiraiya answered. He saw how fewer students give their attention to him.
"do you know what experimental art is?"Jiraiya asked. Another Chorus of "noooo" sounding around the class.
"Experimental art is about expressing yourself through art! That why we will not do any boring stuff. We will experiment on our self!"Jiraiya said. Again, no one care about him.
"for the first Month. We will be experimenting-"Jiraiya said before he slammed his hand on the table. "A THREESOME DATE!"
The whole class fell silent. Kushina and Minato share the same 'what the hell?' expression.
"you will have a date with another two person for every weekend! I want pictures and steamy hot interaction!"Jiraiya said.
"and of course, put your name on a piece of paper and we will do random pick" Jiraiya said monotonously. Then suddenly the whole class started to panicking and hoping to get the either Minato or Ichi's.
"Ichi.. put this please?"Kushina said before she give Ichi a paper with her name in it.
"sure" Ichi said.
Jiraiya pull out a piece of paper and a pen.
"then I will pick up your date! It will be according to your last name!" Jiraiya said.
"EEEH?" the whole class said.
"My class, My rule!"Jiraiya said. "now let see.. "Jiraiya started to write down few names. Kushina don't really pay attention to the weird teacher in front of her class. She could hear a gasp of happiness or pure shock all around the class.
"and lastly.. we have Uzumaki,Namikaze,Sakuya" Jiraiya said for the final name he announced.
"WHAAAAT!"
"huh?" Kushina said after she realized she had the whole class attention. She saw Ichi and Jiraiya looking at her too.
"What?" She snapped. She did nothing and yet.. people already got their attention at her.
"See, Namikaze! I give you a group with two female!"Jiraiya said happily. then the whole become quiet suddenly.
"Jiraiya-sensei" Minato call his name. Jiraiya turned his attention towards Minato. Minato stand up while walking to the front side of that class.
"Do you know who Sakuya Ichiru?" Minato talk while he keep walking.
"she must be the most beautiful woman! After all Sakuya came from Konohanasakuya-hime. She is the blossom-princess and symbol of delicate earthly life."Jiraiya said.
Minato stop walking when he reached Ichi's table. Kushina saw a devilish gleaming in his eyes, and she knows he has some devilish idea.
"Do you know that Sakuya is a last name. and your 'beautiful' Sakuya" Minato said while quoting on the word beautiful. "is this student" He finished while giving a little pat on Ichi's shoulder.
With Minato, who had been nicely introduced Ichi to Jiraiya. Experimental art is done for the day.

"Hey Kushina!" she heard someone calls for her. She saw Chidori come to greet her. Behind her, she could see some people she hasn't met before.
"Mi-err.. Chidori?"Kushina still don't know what to call her. Mikoto is her real name, but Chidori is what her friends called her.
"Chidori is fine!. You must sit with us for lunch!" Chidori insisted.
"wait! Let me ask one more person" Kushina told her. She saw Ichi come out and drag him. "now let's go eat before the devil find me" Kushina said happily. Chidori, either she ignore 'devil' part or didn't hear it, Followed Kushina.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx
"and here you are" Kushina heard someone calls her.
"damn" she cursed silently. Mikoto and Ichi take a look at Minato who came with unhappy look on his face.
"it's just a second day. Where is my lunch? I am starving"Minato said to Kushina. Kushina popped out a sandwich and give it to Minato.
"your lunch. If you hurry, you will manage to finish it before the bell rings"Kushina said happily. Before Minato could do anything or say anything, the bell ringing and Kushina already running to her class. Ichi and Mikoto saw Minato's evil smile. Mikoto, being Minato's friend for the whole time she is in Konoha, knows that Minato already put his interest towards the new student.
"Minato, be nice to her." Mikoto remind him. She love Kushina, and she love Minato. But she saw how Ichi look at Kushina and Minato's interaction. It is a look pure of unhappiness.
"don't worry Chidori, she is a tough one" Minato answered before he toss his sandwich to the nearest trash bin.
"Itan, let's go back. It's a shame Kushina didn't remember us" Mikoto said suddenly. When Mikoto saw Ichi had a look of pure confusion. She know something is wrong with him.
"what do you mean by that Chidori?" Ichi said. Ichi had a feeling he will not like what she will have to say.
"you—" Mikoto gasped and started to panicking for few seconds before she regained her composure and asked ichi.
"Ichi, you were transferred last year, right?" Mikoto asked the guy next to her. Ichi nodded.
"I don't have class for the rest of the day . You can tell me what you need to tell me, right here." Ichi said to Mikoto.
"me too, but I prefer having fugaku listening to this too. Let's meet at Fugaku's room."Mikoto said before she pulls out her cell phone to call Fugaku. Ichi nodded and walk back to his dorm.
"Fugaku, it's me Mikoto. I think I accidentally invite another person to our circle" Mikoto said after she saw Ichi already out of her sight.
"No it's not Kushina" she said again. She heard Fugaku speak again before answering. "It's Ichiru Sakuya"
"yes, I am sorry I drag him into this. But it can't be helped" Mikoto said to Fugaku. She heard Fugaku's voice getting higher and faster.
"I can't help it Fugaku! Kushina come here because she wants to find him! And I don't want Minato to screw it!" Mikoto started to screaming back to him. She heard Fugaku started to scream at her again.
"Because, Kushina and Itan are my precious friends! they might have forgotten about me. But I will never forget about them!"Mikoto screamed again. It's a good thing no one stayed in that courtyard and class already started. Mikoto already cry her eyes out. She saw Fugaku come and running at her. She run and hug him.
"Fugaku.. I am sorry" Mikoto said while she cry in Fugaku's arm. Fugaku just silently stood there and patting her head.
"it's okay Mikoto. But why Sakuya?" Fugaku said.
she pull out a picture from her wallet. Fugaku saw that picture and he knew instantly what Mikoto will tell Ichiru. Fugaku scared that Ichiru will not like this.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"sorry to make you wait" Ichi said after Fugaku open his door. He saw Mikoto's puffy eyes and tissue box in front of her.
"Ichi.. have a seat" Mikoto said happily. she might be happy but her eyes looks afraid and sad at the same time.
"I've been meaning to ask Sakuya family about this" Fugaku started talking.
"who are you? I never know about Sakuya family having a boy" Fugaku said. Sakuya family is one of the family who studied under Uchiha's tutelage. Fugaku remember about Ichiru Sakuya, but as a black haired person. And since Ichiru was a tomboy, people mistaken her as a boy.
But the person in front of him is a boy, who has the same name as Ichiru and come from Sakuya family.
"I was told my name is Sakuya Ichiru." Ichi said. "because when I wake up, I don't know who I am" Ichi started.
"when was that?" Fugaku asked Ichi. Mikoto started to cry a few tears on her own..
"six years ago. " Ichi said.
"what happened before that?" Fugaku started again. He saw Mikoto started to cry, he couldn't stand to see her cry. But he needs to finish this once and for all.
" I can't remember anything. I don't have any family portrait before six years ago. And my mother couldn't even look at me. Or calling me by my given name" Ichi said. Mikoto pull out the same picture she showed Fugaku.
"Itan, your name is Ichi.. but not Ichiru Sakuya" Mikoto told Ichi. Fugaku is surprised because Mikoto could speak clearly, even after crying her eyes out just few minutes earlier.
"we were childhood friend" Mikoto said again. Ichi look at the picture before him and his eyes widened.
"along with Kushina" Mikoto finished her sentences.
"how?" Ichi said. He picked up the picture and his eyes asking for explanation to Mikoto.
In that picture, Ichi, and Kushina smile happily while Mikoto put her arm around their shoulder. But what surprised him the most was what written on a tree behind him.
"Ichi love Miko-chan"
Ichi could feel pain through his head.
"and you are our first love, Ichi-kun" Mikoto said. suddenly,Ichi started screaming. Fugaku try to help Ichi, but Ichi already fell unconscious.
I feel like something is wrong in this chapter... but I can't tell what is it..
NEED BETA FOR THIS STORY
about experimental art: this is a true subject in my school. the teacher told his students to to experiment.(my friend said he want to be thinner with walking 10km per day. if he didn't get thin by the end of the semester, he will fail that class). other one is.. to eat only pizza for six months.. and the list goes on
why Jiraiya told the students what to do then? if Experimental art is like what you describe above: well... it's his privilege as a teacher and as we know.. he is grade A perv.
next chapter: Mikoto, Kushina and Ichi past revealed. also why Kushina and Ichi didn't remember Mikoto~
