Shirasuki (Crossing the Worlds Part I) 12- Enrolled!

*Next day*

"Here are their sizes, for uniforms."

"Great. Thanks a lot for coming early today." I scratch my neck.

"Actually. It was a group effort to get me up early and leave the house early." Not really a group effort. I woke up to Neji kissing me. Like sleeping beauty.

"The schools probably have some extra uniforms on campus in these sizes. I'll probably be able to give them to you after practice this afternoon." I nod and bow.

"Huntoni, Arigatou gozaimashita, Taisho-sensei."

"It's really no trouble. Now, you should get to class before you have to run." I nod and leave the office, jogging to class. I get into the room five minutes early, starting gossip all around the room.

"That's Kiriku right?"

"Of course! Who could mistake that pink hair?"

"No way! She's actually early?"

"Is she sick or something? She's never early for class." I roll my eyes and stare out the window. I wonder how Tenten will react to Neji asking to switch rooms with her. He mentioned it this morning while I was getting ready. Since we stayed in the same room for a month or so, it won't be awkward. Class starts and I fall asleep. I wake up for lunch and go back to sleep for the rest of classes, and then manage to break the record at High Jump practice.

"Great job, Kiriku!"

"You're gonna top out the nationals next week!" Nationals? Already?

"Okay guys! Practice is over! Miya, Yaya, please try to refrain from making love in the locker room today. Save that for your bedrooms." The entire team laughs as Miya and Yaya start blushing and dash to the locker room. We all head for the showers and rinse off, changing back into uniforms. As the rest of the team leave the school, I head for Taisho-sensei's office. She stands up and gets two garment bags out of a locker in the corner. "Here you go. Make sure that the guys are early so they can get their classroom assignments. And I made sure that Tenten-san will be in your class." I nod and take the bags from her.

"Thank you."

"And make sure Gai knows that he needs to go with them, wearing something normal please." I nod, laughing.

"I'll make sure to let him know." He won't be happy about that. I hurry home and slip my shoes off. Four pairs of shoes. Good. They're all still here. "Tadaima!" What the?

"Neji said that your teacher was gonna enroll us in school! Is that true?!" I nod and head for the dining room, closely followed by Tenten.

"Lee-kun, Neji, Gai! Come to the dining room please!"

"Coming!" Running…Gai and Lee run into the dining room. Neji casually walks in and stands beside me. I open the garment bags slightly and hand one to Tenten.

"Your uniform. Neji, Lee-kun. Your uniforms are in this bag." I hand the second bag to Neji. "Here's what's going on. Taisho-sensei has made arrangements with the administrators of both my school, Hyoushou, and the sister school, Hyori, for you guys to go to school there until we can get back to Konoha, which should only be about a month. Don't leave Gai. You start in the morning. Guys, you need to be at the school early to find out what classroom you'll be in. Tenten is going to be in my class. And Gai, you have to be at Hyori in the morning as well. They've agreed to let you be a temporary Physical Education teacher. And do the world a favor and wear something other than that jumpsuit."

"What's wrong with this?"

"It's creepy. And your trademark. As far as I know, that school is full of Naruto fans. They'd recognize you in an instant and attack you. And as I'm pretty sure that none of you are able to use any jutsu or your normal strength and speed, you'd get clobbered in the storm."

"So…this school, Hyori…?"

"It's an all boys school. And it's set up the same as Hyoushou. Also, the two schools, because they're called 'Sister Schools', there are quite a few competitions between the two schools. Mostly athletics. Both schools are known for having record holders in track and field. Myself being one of them. I just broke the school, and national, High Jump record during practice this afternoon. Oh, as a warning. There are a lot of students, at both schools, that are homosexual."

"Eh?!" I laugh and head to the kitchen, to fix dinner. I fish out some ingredients and start cooking.

*Next Morning*

"You guys ready to go?!"

"Yea."

"Something wrong?"

"No." I smile and head for the door. We're way early, but I have to show the guys how to get to the school. I put on my shoes and head out the door, closely followed by an embarrassed Tenten. I think it's the uniform. She likes pink, but I think the Seifuku is bugging her. And Lee and Gai are upset because they couldn't even wear their jumpsuits under their new clothes. Last night I went through Otou-san's clothes and found some clothes that would fit Gai, jeans and a plain white button up shirt.

I sigh and pull Lee and Gai out of the house. "Come on!" I get the house locked up and start walking towards the schools. "Hyori is right next door to Hyoushou. So a lot of the students meet at the fence during lunch time to talk. There are a lot of interschool couples." We get to my school and I wave to the student on welcome duty. "Good morning!"

"Kiriku?! You're early again today?! Are you sick or something?"

"Nope. I'm perfectly fine. See you in class, Miya."

"Yea." We walk past the gate and to Hyori.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Kiriku-sempai."

"Good morning. Okay guys. This is where Tenten and I have to stop. Girls aren't usually allowed on campus. Anno, Hiro-kun, right?"

"Ah, Hai, sempai."

"My friends are transfers. They need to get to the office."

"Sure thing. Follow me." The guys follow the freshman and Neji glances back at me. I wave and push Gai through the gate.

"You too, konno baka. You have to go with them and talk to the administrators. Ja!" I grab Tenten's hand and pull her back to my school. I pull Tenten to the foot lockers and tap the locker beside mine. "Looks like they've already got you a locker set up. You have to put on the shoes in there and put your other shoes in the locker."

"Right." She follows my example, sticking her shoes in the locker and putting on the slippers. We close the lockers at the same time and I lead Tenten through the halls.

"That's the cafeteria. But we brought lunch, so we won't be going there. And then…let's see…the library is right there, across the hall. And the dorms are back that way."

"Dorms?" I nod.

"Yep. There are some students that don't live nearby, so they stay in the dorms and go home on holidays and stuff. Um, most of these rooms are used for club meetings and stuff. Also, that's the student council room right there. And here's our class." I stop in front of the door and go inside. All heads turn as Tenten and I walk into the classroom. Half of the students gasp, recognizing her from the manga. Even though she's actually wearing makeup and has ribbons in her hair to match the skirt of her uniform. I wonder how the students will react to Lee and Neji at Hyori.

"Ne, you're Tenten right?"

"Um…yes?" I nudge her.

"Confidence, Tenten. They'll eat you alive otherwise." She swallows and nods.

"No way! So like, you're really from Naruto?!"

"No, konno baka! That's just a story!"

"Temo…"

"Sure, I look like her, and I have the same name, but seriously. Naruto isn't real." She glances at me and I smile inwardly. Good lying, Tenten. The crowd drops it and moves on to me.

"You sick or something, Kiriku? The other day, you're actually not sleeping through class, and then for two days straight you're early for class. What's up?"

"Nothing much. Tenten-san and a few friends are here visiting, and they're staying at my place. Yesterday they made sure I left early and then today, I had to show the others to Hyori so they could get to their classes."

"Eh?! There are guys with you?!"

"Are they cute?!"

"Well…yes. But they're kind of both unavailable."

"Aw man!" I roll my eyes and get to my desk. For once I'm getting positive attention, instead of violent. The bell rings and the teacher comes in.

"Settle down. Mataku. Get in your chairs already! All of you!" Everyone sits down immediately. "Now. As I'm sure you've all noticed, we have a temporary transfer student from Kyoto, Tenten-san. She's here visiting and won't be here very long, but everyone try to be nice to her." "Hai!" "There's an empty desk beside Kiriku. Now…" Tenten sits down and I glance at her.

"Good job a minute ago."

"Kyoto?"

"It's a city to the west. I guess Taisho-sensei put that bit in to explain you guys being here." Tenten nods slightly and I look out the window, watching the clouds.
