Chapter 12: Holy Crap, It Finally Hits Me
Kyoko's POV…
'Well this is peachy,' I thought to myself as I waited in a chair to meet the Hokage. 'Why did I do this again?' I'm starting to feel a bit antsy, sure I'm was gonna meet yet another anime character, but this would affect the entire story, again.
I sighed, damn why'd my life have to get so complicated all of a sudden?
It still wasn't too late, I still have the chance to run, to leave, and ignore this whole mess. Ignore the whole mess I know the future's gonna be…
But at the same time, going against the cynical/pessimistic/sensible part of my mind was the sense of adventure. To venture into the unknown, to be right there during the events of my favorite anime of all time were happening…
In the end, I pushed down my mistrustful instincts and stayed, I shoved my hands in the pockets of my new zip-up hoodie, one of my hands caressed the handle of my army knife…
It brought me a sense of comfort.
It's as if-
I lost my train of thought when Kurenai came out and gestured at me that I could come in.
I walked in and heard the door click behind me, well, no turning back now…
My goggles were secure over my eyes, thank Kami that they're tinted, what if he thought that I had some sort of doujutsu? While I used to consider them a bit cool, after the whole Sharingan spiel just went on and on, watching it was like stabbing myself is the eye. Now I consider them very overrated.
"So you're Kyoko?" It was the Sandaime, all wrinkly and grandfatherly and Hokage… ish…
Holy crap he's old, look at the liver spots man…
I nodded blankly, damn I hate talking to adults!
"I've heard about you." He said.
"What, is the 'Let's Throw Kunai At Children' club putting up posters of their accomplishments now?" I remarked sarcastically.
"Those genin were punished for misconduct." I felt my mouth twitch as I resisted the urge to smirk, "so Kurenai-san tells me that you wish to join the academy, why?"
Most children may be stupid, but I can tell that this thing's a test. Oh great, pass or fail, time to wing it, sappy-cliché anime style, should I? Nah.
"Well," I heaved a sarcastic sigh, "however I look at it, I don't see any way to stay outta some," I paused to choose my words carefully, "well-meaning adult's custody, if I'm a ninja then I c'n, ya know, be legally adult an' stuff right?" I smiled hopefully.
"You don't want someone to take you in?" The Hokage looked at me curiously.
"Well, okay I'll just be frank, I hate it when people tell me how to run my life, or what to do in general. Basically, I wanna be a shinobi just cause I can, and then adults'll stop thinking they can order me around, it doesn't get any deeper than that." I crossed my arms.
He looked amused, crap do I emanate Naruto-ism or anything? No way, I'm too pessimistic and self-centered for that…
"Okay it's settled then, you will attend classes two days from now." The Sandaime said, my eyes widened.
"If ya don't be- Wait what?" I raised my eyebrows, I scratched my head in childish confusion, it's that easy? You're not gonna throw a kunai at me or make me prove I'm worthy? You don't want an arm and or a leg?"
Kurenai just laughed, damn I feel like Ron Weasley when he said he thought they had to fight a troll… Embarrassed as hell…
'Fuck…' I thought venomously.
"Now about where you're going to live-" The Hokage started, but I interjected.
"Um, not to sound rude, but can I take care of that myself?" I felt the urge to carress the hilt of my army knife for again but I resisted, "I don't wanna impose on anyone, I can take care of myself." he stared with this unreadable expression, "seriously."
He nodded, gee, I would've expected the Hokage to be at least more, well difficult to talk to. Kurenai walked out the door and I almost followed, then decided to throw a little acting in.
Here's to really hoping I don't screw up.
"Hey, you have your face on that mountain right?" I rest my chin in my left hand and my left elbow in my right hand, my favorite habit that I've never bothered to kick.
"Yes, why?"
"I don't know you seem familiar… AHAH! I know, Sunshine-kun talks about you!" I snapped my fingers as I looked like I just remembered it.
"Sunshine-kun?" The Village Leader raised an eyebrow.
"You know, blonde hair, bright and cheerful personality? Wears orange like it's the only color our there?" I commented.
"Naruto? Are you the Kyoko-chan he talks about?" I could see the light of recognition in his eyes, ahah, so the ANBU's have seen me… Interesting…
"Yeah, Fishcake-san." I half-snickered, "yeah, we're not friends per say, but he's a cool dude."
Soon the conversation ended and I left… Damn, I gotta find a notebook…
I was walking around the shopping district, then Bob said something.
"You do know that you'll be in school again. Right?"
Then I realized… The horrible truth…
'AWWWW *&#$#! I'm stuck in a school again! FUCK!!!' I feel like hitting myself now-
Wham!
I just fast walked into a wall.
"Screw YOU FATE!" I screamed while shaking my fist at the sky, gathering the stares of all passersby who decided to stare at the weird girl in a hate with goggles shaking her fist at the sky.
I glared at them through my goggles and my mouth curved into a deep scowl, "What the fuck are you nosy retards staring at?"
I walked all the way back to the same building back in the Konoha slums. It was dark, I'm a night owl, I don't sleep that much anyways…
"Hey guys…" I whispered, the subtle clicking of my Kouchuu answered me.
//Hai, Kyoko-sama?//
"I have a shopping list for you… My kleptomania ban is officially over…" I smirked evilly.
//Anything for you Kyoko-sama!// The Kouchuu chirped in unison.
"Okay first off, I need a weapon maintenance kit, some steel wire, water bottles, a couple lighters," I paused, "You are getting all this right?"
//Of course Kyoko-sama!//
So I listed off a supply list of everything I needed and the Kouchuu took off, promising that they wouldn't be caught or seen.
I'm holding them to that.
Then I realized something, it was two years until the Rookie 9 graduate, two years until the ball starts a-rollin'. HOLY EFFING CRAP! I gotta train, get stronger, get tons of equipment and traps ready! Shit! For the past month I've been doing nothing! GAH!
There's Pein, the Akatsuki, Itachi, Orochimaru, the Sound Village! Shit! I've wasted precious time!!!
And yet I wonder, of all times, the implications hit me NOW?
Needless to say, I didn't sleep that night, or the next…
Then before I knew it I had all sorts of odds and ends sto- I mean, collected by the Kouchuu. For now I just sealed them into my trusty scroll, which was tucked safely into my dark blue backpack.
I think right now, I'm sooooo tired from training and making stuff from the stuff the Kouchuu get that I can't tell if I'm tired or not…
I don't like the idea of going back into a social environment, I like my hermit-ism just fine thank you.
I stared at the horizon as the sun rose, I put on my tinted aviator goggles, now complete with a sort of topless head-mask that had thick straps that were on the side which kind of covered the stripes on my cheeks, but I let the straps just hang there.
I put my duke blue hair into a bun and stuck the fisher's hat(minus hooks and stuff like that) on my head. I looked into a broken mirror, hell I look like something out of "Bloody Valentine". I slipped on my hoodie (hood up), and I had a pair of ninja sandals that Kurenai had insisted she'd get for me…
Hell, I'm wearing the shirt that says, 'I'm a ninja, you can't see me', on it. Damn, I'm going to be the creepy-class weirdo here too, well fuck all of them, I hate my classmates already…
'Well,' I thought as I stepped out into the street, 'ready or not, school here I come…'
So out in the slums I walked, towards what I hoped wouldn't be a complete disaster.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Third Person POV…
Tamamushi Kyoko, an orphan with no background.
The Hokage pondered this development, she was sarcastic and had a sharp tongue with the wit to match. And Naruto seemed to have befriended her, but somewhere deep down, the old shinobi could tell that there was more to her than what met the eye.
She didn't seem like a threat, but just in case...
He could see a fiercely independent girl, who wouldn't give an inch to people trying to control her, a most interesting Kunoichi that girl was going to make…
But he would observe, then make a judgment…
Oh well, that's what ANBU are for…
The Hokage stared back at the increased amount of paperwork, the amount of anime tears that were shed that day will never be disclosed, just let it be known that it was a lot…
A/N: Yes I know it sucked big time, but I'm trying to update a bunch of stuff here! PLZ review, sorry if I totally screwed up the Third's character, I'm sorry. The reason he's giving Kyoko free reign here is cause she's friends with Naruto, but also he's giving her a chance or something like that. So don't bug me about it. Thank you! PLZ REVIEW!!! I'll update as soon as I can! Next chapter, it's Kyoko's first day of academy and we get to learn why she's such a social hermit! Until next time, REVIEW!!!!!
