She was right when she said she wouldn't last a week. It was only a few hours of sitting in front of the Hokage's office when a stray needle like thing pierced her ear and stuck her to the wall. She screamed and tried to pull back, only to rip her ear slightly. Whimpering, she tried to pull it out but it was too far embedded. She stilled, her ear warm with blood, and aching with the intrusion.
Oh hell, why was it her?
A young boy came bounding up, his eyes wide, so wide that you could see the whites of it. Another boy followed slightly slower. The two were polar opposites. The one who was rushing had bright blond hair, tan skin, and bright blue eyes. The other was dark, dark hair, dark eyes, but light skin. Both looked frightened.
"I'm so sorry! If Sasuke-teme didn't deflect it-" The little blond boy began, shifting back and forth in front of her examining her ear. The other boy pushed him out of the way, and began to eye the metal pointy thing.
Wait. What the hell were little kids doing with pointy stuff?
"It was Naruto's fault…" The darker boy mumbled, trying to act all dark but she could plainly see the worry in his eyes.
"What the hell are little kids like you doing handling sharp things? When I was you age I wasn't even allowed in the kitchen!" She didn't mention that she almost killed herself washing her hands. It was pure chance that the garburator was on, and the tap was super powered. That was explanation enough.
"But! We were training while waiting for the Hokage!" The blondie said, his eyes filling with tears. Her heart softened. Poor kid… She tried to reach out and pat his head, but soon as she moved her ear starting with a new bout of blood and stinging.
Fuck it. Slowly, very slowly, she pulled her head forward, both boys watched with wide eyes. With a little ting, she pulled her ear off the metal thing. She put her hand on her ear, eyes watching the boys sternly. "You should both be a lot more careful." She grabbed the metal thing and pulled it out, her blood still coating it when she held it out to the boys. "Sharp things are dangerous." She almost laughed as the blue eyed boy swayed, looking green. They were so tiny and cute, it reminded her of her one foster sister. She loved the girl.
"Suki, the Hokage is ready to see you-. Oh my, are you okay?" The youthful lady's eyes widened when she seen her holding her ear.
Suki nodded, shooting a glance to the boys. Both look petrified. She smiled lightly at them, assuring them she wouldn't tell. They still looked uneasy as she turned back to the lady. "Yup, I am fine. I just had a little accident." She winked at the boys before being led into the office.
In the office was an older man, along with Kurenai, Gai, and Kakashi. Also a surprise, was the mind reader guy from earlier. All turned as she came in, Gai's eyes filled with tears instantly.
She already knew what was coming next. "BEAUTIFUL YOUTH, ARE YOU OKAY?!" He swept her up, but she stayed straight faced this time. He twirled her around, while she stared blankly ahead.
Once he had his fill, he put her down.
The room was now silent.
The Hokage sat there, watching her, huffing on a pipe. Smoke billowed up, his eyes wary with age. She shifted back and forth on her feet, still holding her ear. The bleeding had stopped, now it was the embarrassment. She really didn't want to show the people a hole in her ear. It was pretty… uh… gross.
Finally, the old man's mouth opened slowly. "My, what happened to your ear?" She blushed ten shades of red as she averted her eyes to an empty corner. Only, it wasn't empty. It was the masked guy from earlier. He was so still she thought he was furniture! She blinked, and blinked again, but he was not a mirage. He stayed still as a pole, blank mask portraying no emotion.
"The Hokage asked you a question, you should answer." Kakashi said. She turned to him, to see his lone eye glaring at her. She puffed up, her eyes narrowing. What a douche.
"I had a little accident." She removed her hand from her ear reluctantly, before awkwardly placing her hands at her sides. The Hokage continued puffing, and watching.
Again, after a long pause, he spoke. "My Shinobi have told me you come from another world." She nodded, he puffed. "Inoichi-san has indeed filed a detailed report from your world." She nodded, watching as his eyes darkened momentarily. "Is it true you travel by big metal contraptions?" She almost wanted to laugh. She came from another world, was standing in front of him with hole in her ear, and he wanted to know about cars?
Well, best please him. "Yes, those are vehicles." His eyes urged her to go on. "There are some different types, such as vans, cars, and trucks." He looked intrigued, while the rest of the room looked rather confused. Lol, she liked the confused look on Kakashi's face. "You see, we don't have super powers like you guys here, at all. There's comics of things like superman or mutants, but nothing actually exists." She paused when the room became rather cold, but she continued. "Our world has a lot more technology." She put out her fingers, about to begin a countdown. "See, I was too poor to afford anything but there's ipods computers, TV, internet-" She was cut off by Kakashi, who put his hand over her mouth.
"You talk too much." He said, glowering down at her. She glowered right back. She swore, she was going to knew kick him soon.
"I can take care of the girl, I have already offered her a place and job at my shop." It was the mind reader guy who spoke. He sent a soft smile at her, making her smile back. Not that he could see, Kakashi's hand was on her mouth. She swatted his arm away, huffing.
"I see… I see." The old man mumbled, he seemed to be deep in thought.
"Ah, I was going to also ask. Do you have school here?" They all turned to look at her. She blinked. "Like, where one goes to learn math, language, social studies and stuff?" Blank faced all around, it was starting to look a lot like the blank mask guy in the corner.
"We have an academy, but only our youth who choose the shinobi path go there."
No school.
SWEET. She would have fist pumped the air if it wasn't for everybody's eyes on her.
"Uh. I see." She tried to act cool and collected.
"Suki." The old man spoke again, his eyes were slightly worried. "Your world, do you have any family that will miss you?" She blinked, before shaking her head.
"I am a foster kid, my parents abandoned me when I was still a baby." She said, being as honest as she could.
"Foster kid?" He speculated. The rest of the room remained quiet.
"I was raised in different homes, by different strangers." She added, to help with his confusion. He blinked before nodding.
Again, with the silence. She was really starting to wonder if this old man liked silences. Or he was just wasting time, either or.
She shifted back and forth, back and forth.
Damn, he realllllllly liked his silence.
"Suki, I approve of your citizenship of the Leaf. While here, you will be under Inoichi's care." She nodded, looking to the mind reader. He smiled gently at her, giving her a thumps up. "I will do up the documents, may I ask your last name?" She paused, blushing hard.
Now, this was awkward. She shifted back and forth, this time nervously. "I don't have one." She finally said, looking to the side. Inoichi stepped in, resting his hand on her head. She stepped closer to him, her cheeks flaming.
So many times she would get teased for not having a name. The government gave her one, but depending on the foster home, and possible adoptions, she didn't have an official one. It was truly embarrassing, being Suki no-name.
"She can take my last name, for the time being. Our Yamanaka clan in small, so it can welcome new members." She looked up to Inoichi. Was… He adopting her? He looked down at her, smiling softly.
She nearly jumped with joy. She was no longer Suki-no name! She hugged the man, her heart warm and pounding. She was so happy, that she completely forgot about her injured ear, so when it crushed against him at the force of her hug, she yelped.
He merely chucked and rubbed her hair.
"She will not likely be able to learn any of your Yamanaka clan techniques, do you still accept her?" She blinked. Clans. Like in the olden days? And techniques, like the fancy ninja stuff? Weird. She looked between the Hokage and Inoichi, gaging the reaction.
"I will not force her onto the shinobi path, but if in time she chooses, our clan will support her." She smiled widely.
She had a family.
Already this world was looking better than her old one.
The only issue was, could she survive?
She already almost got her ear torn off!
If she trained to be like them, would it help her reflexes? Or, would she end up dead?
She shook her head. Right now, she had to focus on adjusting. She was now Suki Yamakana.
Well, at least that's what's she thought his last name was. Her face heated. She should probably confirm her new last name before using it.
