Chapter 14: Hikari's stand

Hearing the bell Iaf snapped out of her daze and noticed she was leaning against her locker, sighing she pushed herself off her locker and slowly walked to class.

When she neared the classroom she saw the rest of the class there including Itachi and Sasori who were talking to two people 'shit, two! What god hates me? I fight with one and I get two in return, at least Tobi isn't one of them I don't think I could face him right now…but I do need to apologize' Iaf thought as she waited for the teacher.

"Iaf-san?"

Iaf looked up to see Sasuke looking at her confused with Gaara and Shikamaru beside him "what's wrong?"

"I had a huge fight with Tobi and said some things I shouldn't have and now I think he hates me" she replied, her head hung as she thought over the fight.

She looked up at the Akatsuki members, they weren't looking her way but she could tell by the way they were standing that they were listening in.

"Nah, don't worry about it" Sasuke said catching Iaf's attention again "I don't think hate is in that guys system"

Iaf perked up at this "really?"

Sasuke nodded "yep, but what was your fight about?" he asked "it was about me being friends with Tayuya, he said that she hated the other groups and that she's a bad person but she's been nothing but nice I don't know what to believe, I-I just snapped at him and ran off before he could say anything else, why would he tell me that?"

"Because it's tr-"

"Hey Iaf-san!" someone called out from behind her, Sasuke's and Shikamaru's eyes widened as Iaf's eyes narrowed and changed to silver.

"What?!" she growled, turning around to face Sakon and Ukon (the ones who called out to her obviously).

"We have a bone to pick with you" Ukon said.

"Great, well Iaf isn't here at the moment so leave a message and fuck off" Hikari growled turning around, Sakon and Ukon looked at each other with confused looks before turning back to her.

"We heard that you had a fight with the Akatsuki idiot" Hikari stopped walking away and everyone could have sworn the temperature dropped, the Akatsuki members were glaring at Sakon and Ukon while Sasuke and Shikamaru were inching away from Hikari who was trembling (Gaara just stood there).

She whirled around and stormed up to Sakon and Ukon "what the hell did you call my friend you sissy lip-stick wearing bastards?!" she yelled clenching her hands, they took a few steps back as she continued "he is better then you girly-looking piss heads ever will be, so don't call him an idiot when you two are clearly worse then that"

"What did we tell you!? We are not girly!" They growled, Hikari smirked "and I'm a princess" she said 'well technically Iaf is the princess but they don't need to know that' she thought.

"You brat, I wanna punch your lights out" Sakon growled "well, what's stopping you?" Hikari asked with a smirk, Sakon growled "nothing!" he pulled back his fist but Ukon stopped him the same time Sasuke, Shikamaru and Gaara stood in front of Hikari, Ukon whispered in Sakon's ear and Hikari listened in "so why does Kabuto want you to be nice to me?" she asked with an innocent face, they looked at her shocked "how did you hear what I said?" Ukon asked.

"You were practically yelling" she replied.

"I didn't hear anything" she heard Sasori whisper "what do you mean?" she asked tuning towards him "he was as loud as a blowhorn"

"Now I know I wasn't loud, so how did you hear me?" he asked "I'll happily explain it another time" Hikari replied smiling, she turned around and faced Sakon and Ukon "and you two! Stay away from Iaf unless you want to know the true meaning of agony, got it?!"

"Hikari!" someone shouted and grabbed Hikari's arm, she turned and looked at Sasuke "what?" she growled as Sasuke pulled her away from the two sound members.

"Shikamaru opened the classroom, come on" he said "but I was about to beat the living shit out of them, they may fool Iaf but they don't fool me, ya hear that? You don't fool me one little bit so stay away from Iaf unless you want me to kick your ass!" she shouted as Sasuke tried to pull her along to the classroom, getting nowhere he sent a pleading look at Shikamaru and Gaara.

"Calm down" Gaara said quietly but clearly "why should I?" she growled at him, Shikamaru sighed and walked over to them "look Hikari-san, if you keep shouting and swearing you'll get Iaf-san into trouble" he explained, Hikari stopped struggling "oh" she whispered, she turned to the boys "can you guys do me a favour?" she asked, they nodded "Iaf's been through more hell then you would think and she's still there, she needs friends she can trust, so please take care of my lil sis" she begged, then turned to the Akatsuki members "I know this may sound weird coming from me but please forgive Iaf for her rudeness towards Tobi, she regrets it and is to shy to bring herself to go and apologize" she said.

"Aren't you Iaf?" Sasori asked looking confused, Hikari blinked a couple of times before smiling "oops silly me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hikari Aros, I'm Iaf's twin sister" she explained with a smile.

"What?!" the Akatsuki members and two sound members shouted in unison "ask Tobi to explain, tell him he has Hikari's permission. I should go before the teacher gets here, though he's late" she added and turned to Sasuke, Gaara and Shikamaru "Sasuke, Shikamaru, Gaara, please take care of Iaf for me" the boys nodded "good and if I hear or see that you let her get hurt, I'm going to kick your ass twice as hard as I'll kick theirs" she added jerking a thumb at Sakon and Ukon, Hikari closed her eyes and changed back to Iaf.

Iaf looked around to find everyone staring at her "um, why are you all staring at me?" she asked feeling a bit nervous "don't worry Iaf-san, come on Shikamaru opened the classroom so we can get in" Sasuke mentioned nudging her towards the door, Iaf nodded and walked into the classroom.

Iaf looked at the classroom clock to notice that only 15minutes had passed since the end of recess bell went "um, Iaf-san?" Shikamaru called out pulling Iaf from her thoughts "just call me Iaf" she told him, Shikamaru nodded "okay Iaf, is Hikari a violent person?" he asked, Iaf thought for a minute "umm… only when it comes to me, why?" she answered, Shikamaru shrugged "no reason"

The door opened again and the teacher came in "sorry I'm late class" he said "don't worry, we're used to it" Sakon and Ukon replied in unison.

"Right…" the teacher said sweat dropping "now I got told that I would have a new student today"

"I'm here" Iaf said meekly, the teacher looked at her and waved her over. When she was standing in front of him he handed her a book out of the box he had carried in with him "here ya go, this is your Japanese work book. I'm your Jap teacher Kakashi"

"I'm Iaf Aros" Iaf replied introducing herself "well Iaf sit wherever you want okay?" Kakashi told her, Iaf nodded and sat down at an empty table next to a window.

"Okay class today we are doing a book review on a random 300+ page story, I want you to read the story then do a book review on it. The book review has to be at least a page long" Kakashi instructed, the class groaned.

Kakashi handed out random books to each student, Iaf looked at her book it was titled 'Night of the Crystal Moon'.

'Hmm never heard of it' Iaf thought "we are doing this all week so I expect it back Tuesday next week, so don't rush it. I want you to read the book, do a draft then do your final" Kakashi instructed, sitting down at his desk he opened a book and started reading "are you doing a book review too Kakashi-sensei?" Iaf asked, Kakashi chuckled "no no, this is just for me to read while you work" he replied "you can begin now" he added, Iaf pouted and began to read.
