Ch. 7 The Outsider Joins Suna
The remaining week went by fast and day by day he could feel his head feeling better. As long as he took his medicine, with the help of Temari, he would recover in no time. Temari was the only one that ever visited him besides the nurses.
She brought him food, entertainment and company. That made him very happy. Over their time together during the week, Don grew a stronger liking for Temari than he had before. Though he wasn't sure if she felt the same way, so he kept that emotion to himself.
Don woke up a few mornings later to find Temari walking into his room. "Good news today is your first day of Suna Academic learning." Don grunted "So in other words it's my first day of beating." Temari jumped "Well when you put it that way…yeah, good luck. So get dressed and I'll bring you to the academy."
Don got dressed and Temari grabbed him by the arm and escorted him to the academy. "Umm Temari, I appreciate you helping me and all but do you have to get this personal when you're escorting me?" Temari opened her eyes wide and let go of him. "Sorry."
Don turned his head and smiled. They finally arrived at the Academy. She led him to the main office so he could pick up his schedule. When he got his schedule Temari looked at it. "Ouch, you got strategy class, I remember that class, the guys in there are brutal. You best keep your mouth shut in that class or be squashed."
"Baka" Don muttered to himself. Temari gave him a peck on the cheek and left. Don headed over to his classes until he got to his last class of the day, which was strategy. Once he entered he saw sand ninja of different variety. Most of who were big and looked like brutes.
"Well, well a new one." One of the guys said. Don just ignored him and took his seat in the back of the classroom. All eyes were on Don. Don just stared back with his usual apathetic glare. "So this is what all the big commotion was about when they said an outsider was going to be a new student here? You're him?" one of the guys said.
Don raised his eyebrow. Then the guy got up and lifted him off the ground by the shirt "Just so you know I don't take to kindly to new students especially outsiders." What Don didn't know what that Temari was peeking in through the window. This was his last period and she had a habit of being extremely early.
"Oh, God he's already gotten himself into trouble. He's going to get himself murdered." Temari said to herself. "Stay out of my way and you might just live during your time here" the guy said to Don. He put him down and they sat right as the teacher came in.
Don noticed the teacher was Temari's sensei. "Hello class, let's get started" he said. With a blink of an eye he threw a kunai straight across the room toward Don. Don kneed his desk hard and the piece of wood of his desk popped up in the air.
With a loud thump the kunai hit the wood and the wood feel to the ground. "Impressive." the teacher said to himself. "Tell me, what is your name?" he said. Don just stared. "My name is Don that is all you will need to know about me." The man smiled "I like this guy's personality."
Already the class didn't like him anymore than they had before. Soon the bell rang. Don went outside to find Temari waiting for him. "You idiot. You shouldn't have done that." Temari said. "Done what?" Don asked. "You should have just dodged the freaking kunai not that fancy foot work you displayed."
"Why?" he asked. "Now all the tough guys are going to want to challenge you." Temari hit him over his head with her hand. As they turned to leave the heard a voice call out to Don. "Don, wait right there." Don turned to see his strategy teacher running after him.
"Baki-sensei? What are you doing here?" Temari asked. "Oh, hello Temari, I teach here now. Is Don your friend?" Temari nodded. "Well yes, Don, interesting maneuver you preformed in class today. Though be warned this only means I will have to go harder on you."
He extended his hand "You may address me as sensei or Baki-sama, or Baki-sensei." Don shook his hand "Will do sensei." As Don followed along Temari through the streets of Suna he turned to her and asked "Uh, Temari, where am I going to stay?"
Temari laughed "Since you're better you get the honor of staying with me at my house."
They continued to walk to Temari's house. The sun was starting to set and the streets were emptying on Don's first day as a Suna resident.
