Chapter 5
Disclaimer:I do not own Naurto Just my oc's thank you very much.
A/N: Also on this note I would like to say after this chapter I will be putting omeke to hurry up the process just a bit. Though after and once I get to chapter 10 there will be in fact a time skip to where Iruka begins teaching, I might or might not post small one shots under the title Life lessons.
Beginning of partnerships
There always room in the
Heart for one more friend.
- Unknown
Stupid, stupid he thought to himself, how in the world did he trip on thin air? How does one even do that!? He guessed everyone was right about him he was useless even to his own brother! He was different too different from the others and had nothing going for him. Surely, she would would see that too even if they had just meet.
He waited for her to started laughing, waiting for a mocking laughter; or echoes of footsteps to leave running away.
Instead he heard nothing. He opened his eyes to see her crunching down, looking at him with a small smile.
That smile… there was something about it; like he had seen it over a million times before. A smile that he had unknowingly yearned for but never got. There something off about it, like its hiding a million secrets to be uncovered, or…lies to be told.
"Are you alright?" she asked, snapping him out of his thinking. He looked at her to see her holding out her hand, to help him out.
"It's deja vu, all over again." an older voice suddenly appears in his head. "Honestly we got to stop meeting like this."
"Ne ne senpai? Are you alright?" He nods before taking her hand. Looking rather confused as to why he heard voices that he never heard in his life before. "Did you by any chance hear voices a bit ago?" he asks.
Iruka blinks confused shaking her head in negative; before clutching the violin case.
Cute.
He smiled at her, before softly saying. "Gomen," She looks up from her case in surprise.
"What for?" He looked at her weirdly before questioning. "Didn't I make you break your…" he trailed off not knowing what instrument case she was holding.
She shook her head silently before realizing he wasn't looking at her. Iruka took a long look at him frowning a bit. Feeling both irrational anger, mischievous and aggravated, as an idea pops into her head.
Somewhere else….
Mizuki freezes shivering violently, before getting smacked in the head by a ball.
"Mizuki are you alright?" Mizuki dear and weirdly lovable friend Ebisu asked. Yep, he was at a low point if he was considering him as a lovable friend.
"No, i'm not alright. Just suddenly feel like praying for someone's soul or damming it to the pits of hades… I mean hell..I mean the little guy down stairs" damm Iruka for always using hades whoever the hell that is. damn her for hitting him everytime he cursed a word he learned from the neighbors next door.
He really, really hoped that Iruka wasn't going to actually join the academy and if she did then he prayed, more liked begged that she'll become a teacher instead of finding other sadist friends.
That reminds him, he needs to go with Iruka to the orphanage to make sure she doesn't corrupt any innocent children there.
….
…
..
.
He really was going to be stuck with her for all eternity wasn't he?
Back to Iruka and Obito
"Saa, if your really worried about the case, I know how you can make it up to me!" Iruka say's smiling sweetly.
Obito eyes her wary, before realizing what he was doing I barely know this girl and i'm acting like she's some type of enemy.
"Come on!" Iruka stated pulling him by the arm as she starts to run. "EH!?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"H-how in the world did it get like this?" He mutters to himself quietly looking absolutely horrified, at the caged, which held a frighten rooster inside. "More than that why do I have to carry it?" he asks rather loudly enough for her to hear
"Meh." Iruka says, shrugging carelessly "Your physical stronger and older, plus it could be worse." Obito whips around to look at her with an exaggerated look.
"Worse!? How could anything be worse than this!" he exclaims, nearly shouting at her. Making her give out a bored look. "Don't act like you didn't find it funny."
He nearly pauses for a moment as if to almost consider it before realizing what she was doing. "Don't you dare turn this around me. This isn't about what I found funny, this is about you young lady!" Iruka just groans in defeat. "Those poor people just lost their prized possession!"
"It's a Rooster." Iruka deadphens.
"A beloved pet." Obito counters.
"A worthless animal." Iruka states, giving the rooster an evil eye. Making it look back at her with its beady eyes. While Obito wonders how a 5 year old could out gamble people.
"One that had spent its year with them since it was a chick." Obito say's
"They would have killed it eventually."
"And has brought happiness to them."
Snorting, as she gives the rooster a once over look before stating. "Yea, to their stomachs." Making Obito gasp hugging the cage tighter to his chest. "Shhh, don't say such things! Perke can hear you! Shh, Perke she didn't mean it."
"Oh for the love of… Please tell me you did not just name that thing?" Iruka said, a head ache slowly coming its way to her.
Obito blinks at her owlishly at her. Making her groan in despair. "Obito , you can't name it!" she exclaims. "C'ause once you name it, you get atwach. Once you get atwtch it gets harder to put it down for dinner!" her once proper pronunciations slowly begins to slur making her sound like the five year old she is.
She widened her eyes in horror, as she slowly covered her mouth. Obito not noticing her horror of how she talked say's. "There there everything is going to be alright I won't let that meanie cook you." Iruka's eyebrow twitches in irritation, glaring at the rooster they had gambled her old neighbors out of.
Somehow she knew it was going to haunt her for the rest of her life.
I was glaring at that stupidly beady eyed chicken. Rooster. My mind corrected carelessly. Inwardly scowling I take a glance towards Obito, who was rubbing his cheek against the chick-Rooster cage.
I could slowly feel my eyebrow twitching at the sight. How dare he ruin my plans of making fried chicken, out of that stupid Rooster. You could always go to a restaurant to get fried chicken, ya know? I silently scowl at my very stupid conscious. Going to a restaurant to get fried chicken wasn't the same, it was never the same the first time around in my previous life nor would it be the same here, and I wanted to make my original dad's special fried chicken recipe too.
My past life parents would be shaking their heads in disappointment, for sulking.
"... Now apologize to ." wait.. WHAT!? I could hear and feel my head snapping to look at his direction; with a wide eyed look.
"You want me to apologize?" I asked, stunned that he was giving me a serious look. For some reason I could feel resentment and anger slowly rise. But I needed to push that down, it wouldn'e due if I'd hurt someone.
"Apologize to ." he said, holding the cage up to me making me look directly towards the beastly thing.
I give obito a look, before looking at the beady eyes of the Rooster. I was not going to apologize to it and I knew just how to get out of it.
I'd just hoped I would be able to pronounce it right in Japanese.
"I'll apologize to it." I said, Making my voice sound innocent trying to make sure it wouldn't sound like a deal with the devil, Like I did with Mizuki. "If I can call you Obi-wan"
He went silent, as if unsure to say yes or no. Before saying "Only when no ones around." A little too stunned I nodded unconsciously and looked at the Rooster blankly. "I apologize I called you things a couple of while and thought about making you fried chicken, on my defense though you'd be extremely delicious."
I could hear the invisible face slapped Obito had just given himself at the way I worded my apology. For some reason the way Obito acted, seemed a little too familiar, building up buried and should been forgotten memories and feelings.
I really needed to learn how to meditate correctly to be able to know, what in the world was going on inside my head.
"Take me home Obi-wan, It's getting late and I don't wanna go back near the Uchiha district alone." I said, profusely sounding like a spoiled brat.
"Sure-NANI!" He exclaimed, dropping the cage and making squawk at the abuse of his cage that he was in. "YOU LIVE NEAR THE UCHIHA DISTRICT!" I looked at him for a couple of minutes, before I smiled "Innocently" I cheerly said. "HAI!"
"DON'T SOUND SO CHEERFUL!" He shouted. "THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING."

No nononononono, This could no be happening to him. This sweet, sweet, loveable; if not probably problematic child. Could not live near, his uptight, silent, paranoid; if not bastard clansme-Uhem district, he meant district. He was sure of it! He new every single aspect, every single building, dirt, air and people! His district was not a place where civilians would live near, it was too haunting and sufficating to live in, unless they were from the clans. He knew from experience and the way civilians tended to react to the his clans name, where to go and where not too.
He was also sure civilians lived nowhere near them; except that nice-ish lady named Kohari. Then again she wasn't exactly a civilian, but she she might as well be compared to the district! After all the whole district shops and stores around them was owned and run by his clansmen. You needed to literally get out of the heart of Konoha to get out of the district, and to get near others stores and restruants!
He was also quite sure he would have heard about her if she did live near the district, cause then he would have heard rumors and gossip about her being picked on. She would have known right away he was an Uchiha just by looking at him if she was living near the district.
"Here's my address." She said, holding up the paper, which of course he snatched the paper off her hands; which she might as well have practically given him,though he did pause for a bit, who in their right minds would give a paper to a five year old who could barely read? Then again with the way she talked like an eight year old she might as well be a prodigy.
Imagine his surprise when it ended up being his address instead. He swore he hadn't moved, and since he didn't move then…
"Tobi, Obito we'll need to make room for an old friend and her granddaughter. They'll be living with us for quite some time." Obaa-chan said.
He looked at her wide-eyed, didn't his obaa-chan say that her friends granddaughter would help him?
How would a five year old help him!? One who he would know for a fact hadn't even entered the academy! I wonder if Tobi Knows that'll we'll be 'tutored" by a five year old? Obito paused for a bit looking at Iruka, who smiled. Her hair was barley passing her shoulders and it was being held back by a mint green bandanna, she wore a white tank top with a sleeveless formal loose vest and leggings that stopped at her knees and wore a formal kunoichi apron skirt. From the way she dressed she could be a little older than the way she looked.
Iruka smiled, shining her golden eyes at him. Obito, didn't know why but he began to shiver uncontrollable. The way she smiled did not fit onto an innocent five year old.
He opened his mouth to say something, when ….
…...Even after all these years? Then again you always had the wrong way of thinking. How about this I take care of you and you take care of me, deal? A voice said amused.
He blinked, before looking at Iruka once again. He didn't know why but he felt the sudden urge to throw her into a pound.
In the end he grabbed her wrist gently and took off dragging her along.
Like? Love it? Dislike? Please Review! I'll try to post as soon as I can! Instead of taking who knows how long! Also, Who should Iruka meet first? Anko? Ibikki? or Kakashi?
I hoped you enjoyed!
