X. – X. – X.

"Ah. We really are in the same homeroom!" Naru exclaimed chirpily.

Sakura dragged Naru away from Sasuke, "Come on Naru! You don't have to talk to Uchiha. We have to meet Kakashi-sensei!"

"Um… Bye Uchiha-san!" Naru waved as she was being dragged away by Sakura.

Sasuke grabbed Naru's arm, "Sakura. Let's show Naru-chan together?"

"NO! GO AWAY SASUKE!"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, "I thought you said I was hot"

Sakura rolled her eyes, "Being hot doesn't give you an advantage over everything. Now shut up and leave so we can all live in peace"

Sasuke let go of his grip on Naru, "Hn"

Sakura smiled, "Good"

Sakura and Naru both disappeared into the classroom.

Sasuke smirked, "You're just jealous Sa-ku-ra" Sasuke whispered after Sakura, hoping that Sakura heard him.

Sakura shook her head, she had definitely heard.

Shikamaru woke up to see Kyuubi awake in the bed next to him.

"Good morning, Kyuu"

Kyuubi merely nodded, "How did you get back last night?"

Shikamaru scratched the back of his head, "An angel flew next to me and brought me back to campus"

Kyuubi shook his head, "Just keep dreaming Shikamaru"

Shikamaru closed his eyes in thought for a second then opened them in realisation, "IT'S YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!"

Shikamaru panicked for a second as he scrambled to get changed but then slowed down, "Geez. Today is already so troublesome"

Kyuubi sighed, "I'm going to go to Tsunade and get my schedule, you just take your time and changed and I'll meet you in whatever classes we have together"

"Alright"

Kyuubi walked out the door swiftly and silently.

"Kakashi-sensei, We have a new student. Her name is Naru. Uzumaki Naru"

Naru grinned, "Pleasure to meet you, Hatake-sensei"

Kakashi smiled, although it was unseen under his mask, "Please just call me Kakashi-sensei. Everyone calls me that. I let them call me that because I'm a cool teacher"

"Sensei, I have a question. If you're a cool teacher, Why do you wear a mask?"

Sakura giggled.

Kakashi scratched the back of his head, "Uh… That. Well, I have a disease. Yeah, A fear of dust"

"Liar"

"Well, It's up to you to believe me or not"

"Pfft. No one would believe that"

"Yeah. Anyway, Would you like to take a seat? Class is starting soon"

Sakura smiled, "Naru, I have a lot to tell you about this class"

X

"Tsunade-sama, Who is my teacher?"

Kyuubi arrived at the principal's office just minutes before class is supposed to start.

"Well, You're in my class for homeroom"

"…"

"Yes. My classroom. Wait. What day is it today?"

"Monday, Tsunade-sama"

"Uh. Well, My classroom is Class 2-A"

"Thanks. But aren't you supposed to be in the classroom right now?"

"Ah yes. I'll follow you"

"Tsunade-sama, I think you're drunk"

"Don't call me drunk caaaaaaaaaause I'm n-not drunkkkkkk"

Kyuubi stared at Tsunade, she just fell onto the floor, "Shizune-sensei!" Kyuubi called out.

"So, What did you think of the school?" Sakura asked Naru with a quizzical look on her face.

Naru shrugged, "It was fine"

Sakura stared at Naru for a moment then let out a deep sigh, "Good to hear"

Naru suddenly stood up and pulled on a coat.

Sakura's eyes widened, "Where are you going now?"

Naru gave Sakura one last look, "Out"

X

Naru ran. She tripped over once, but she was on full speed. She knew something had happened. It was like deja-vu.

Naru rapidly knocked on the door in front of her three times, which opened to a dishevelled looking Shikamaru.

Shikamaru looked surprised, "What are you doing here?"

Naru scanned her eyes around her brother's room, "Where is my brother?"

Shikamaru shrugged, "He said he went out"

Naru quickly pulled out her cell-phone and speed-dialled Kyuubi's number.

"Kyuu, pick up the damn phone" Naru muttered.

Shikamaru stared at Naru in confusion.

After ten rings, the annoying voice of the service provider perked up, Naru shut her phone in an instance.

"Shikamaru, I think Kyuubi is in trouble"

X

Kyuubi ran. They knew. He should've known.

Haruno Sakura. Naru's new best friend was a well-known girl in Tokyo. She had the pink hair.

Kyuubi huffed as he stopped to turn behind him. The men were still after him.

Kyuubi went to a full-out sprint once more.

Haruno Sakura was the daughter of a well-known businessman, Haruno Takahiro. A few years back, her dad had died. It was all over the news around the world. Haruno Takehiro was murdered, no, assassinated.

The men were still after him, after months of no track practise, Kyuubi was not in a good shape to be chased.

Sakura's father was assassinated by men known as, 'Akatsuki'. A 'professional', as they called it, gang of skilled fighters. Men whom killed with no feelings, they did this for money. They probably knew that Kyuubi was in town from none other then Sakura's father's double-crossing employers. Sakura probably spilled her guts about Naru, her new friend, to her mother whom probably discussed with others.

And Kyuubi had a hefty price for his head.

Put on by none other then his father's rival.

Kyuubi looked in front of him. There was a giant red-bricked wall.

'Shit. I'm dead'.

One of the two men who were after his looked up, red cold eyes.

Uchiha. The family that wanted him for a known reason of; blackmail, money and the revenge for succeeding them.

"What do you want?" Kyuubi asked coolly.

The Uchiha smirked, "I'm Uchiha Itachi. Pleasure to meet you"

Kyuubi narrowed his eyes, "I didn't ask for your name. I merely asked what did you want"

"I'll tell you once Kyuubi. I'll let you off for today. But I'll be expecting an answer next time we meet. There was no need for the chase today…"

Kyuubi cut him off, "What do you want?"

Itachi smirked once more, "Fast, I see. I want information. Information that only you can give us"

Kyuubi stared blankly at Itachi.

"Kyuubi, I don't want your head. I want the information. I want you to double-cross your family. I'll even pay you millions of dollars for your information. And for your sister…"

With the word, 'sister', Kyuubi perked up, "What do you want with my sister?"

"If you don't accept, your sister is the one to suffer, as long as you are here, in Tokyo".
