Naru tip toed around the corner form Mizuki's office as Sauske and Sakura came walking out looking dazed, and growled low in her throat. That sick bastard had been doing strange things to the kids again. She could smell his scent on their skin, clinging to their pores, hair and their clothes. She watched the kids head to class and slipped into the hall behind them, her ruby colored eyes glaring at the closed door as she walked by it then took off running down the hall before the door could open.

She did not want to be stopped in the hall by that man! He made her skin crawl.

She made her way to the class room and ducked down in the back when she saw Iruka-sensei standing with his back turned towards the class writing something about one of todays lessons. She silently made her way to her seat and sat down without a sound. Trying not to draw attention to her presence. She was'nt planning on staying long anyways. Just long enough for Iruka to take the roll, then she was out.

Out of the class room, out of the building, and out of Mizuki's reach. Kiba turned around in his seat and looked at her. "Hey cousin. What are you up too?" He asked curiously, making sure to keep his voice low so that no one else would notice her since she was going to such legnths to go un-noticed.

"Trying to disappear. Has anyone else noticed me here?" Naru asked as she kept her head low. Kiba turned his head and looked around the room and then sighed when he saw Shikamaru, Choji and Shino looking their way.

"Yeah. A few people have."

"Damn." Naru muttered as she started to pull out her home work assignments from the last few days and put them up on top of her desk and rezipped her back pack. "Who's noticed me?" She asked in a hushed tone. Secretly hoping that Ino, Sakura and the other girls in the class had'nt noticed her. Because if they had, then everyone else would inevitably notice her too. Meaning that Mizuki-sensei would notice her as well.

"Shika, Choji, and Shino so far."

Naru sighed and looked releived until Ino turned around and yelled, "Hey Naru!" And waved at her happily. Naru's eyes got as big as saucers, her face drained of all color, and she groaned and waved back with a nervous expression on her face as everyone else in the class turned to look at her as Mizuki-sensei walked in.

Mizuki looked right at her and smiled. The look on his face reminded her of a shark just before it takes a bite. The way his lips peeled back from his teeth made him look scary. She made a whimpering sound as he said something to Iruka and took some papers and headed up towards her seat.

She gave Ino an annoyed look and sank down in her seat as he drew near and Kiba gave her a pitying look, knowing very well that she didn't like the man but also knowing that she could'nt tell him to sod off like she wanted too or she would get in trouble for being disrespectful. Mizuki stopped right in front of her seat and gave her his most charming smile. "Hello Naru. How are you today?"

"I-I'm fine Mizuki-sensei..." She stuttered politely as he put several papers down on her desk and leaned down so that he was in her personal space. She curled her fingers and made a fist as she stared at his face and wanted to punch him.

"You look cute today, Naru." He said as he reached out and grasped her braid in his hand.

Naru snatched her braid away from the man and made a mental note to cut her hair shorter so that he could'nt grab it like this again and glared at the man. Mizuki raised a brow at her but other wise was unphased by her rudeness. "I'd like to see you in my office after school Naru. You seem to be in need of an additude adjustment." Mizuki said as he straitened his spine and smiled at her, she was such a strong willed girl.

He could'nt wait to break her will down to nothing and use her to his hearts content.

Naru glared at the man's back and wondered if she could get away with slitting his throat. She doubted it, but she wanted to do it anyways. That man was a bad person and liked to do bad things. Nothing short of death would stop him. But she could'nt tell on him because no one would believe her if she tried.

Kiba turned back around in his seat and looked at her. "I guess you're not going to be able to hang out after school today huh?"

"Yes I am." Naru snapped at him, she was not going to Mizuki's office. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever!

Kiba said nothing and turned back around in his seat as Iruka took attendance.
