Hello~
How's everyone doing?
I'm trying to make the chapters a little longer~
Hope y'all enjoy!
~.~
Last Time:
"So basically, I spent a lot of time with them," I told the Nara, who had been listening to my story, "But after the Uchiha Massacre, Sasuke didn't let anyone get close to him, he's just been trying to become stronger."
"I see," Shikamaru said as we walked to my door, "I'm surprised how easily Sasuke befriended you."
"Naw, he didn't like how I stole his 'Onii-chan's' attention, the only reason why he was okay with me is because he saw me as a rival, and because I saved him a bunch of times from his fan girls," I explained. He looked at me, telling me to elaborate.
"I was in a tree and he just happened to come by, running from a crowed of girls," I told him, "Happened many times."
"Sasuke, that guy is never safe around most of the girls," Shikamaru chuckled.
"I would hang upside down from my legs and grab him as he ran by, pull him up and wait for the girls to leave," I said, "But now he's on his own."
"I see," Shikamaru said.
We had arrived at my house. We said our goodbyes and he left to go back home.
I had dinner with Kakashi, then we decided to watch a movie.
"Ready for tomorrow?" Kakashi asked.
"Nope," I said, petting Akumu, "Are you?"
"I have to be," Kakashi told me.
"...you're gonna tell me why you never commit to a team after tomorrow, right?" I asked.
"...that depends," Kakashi told me.
"On what?" I asked.
"...you'll understand tomorrow," He said, "Just trust me on that."
"...okay, Kakashi," I sighed.
"We should get to bed soon, you gotta get up early," Kakashi told me, turning off the TV.
"I always get up early," I said, picking up Akumu, "Good night."
"Good night."
~.~
I couldn't sleep.
The nerves were getting to me. I didn't wanna be stuck with a team that had no sense of team work, or that won't know when I need space.
I sat up and grabbed my violin.
I went to the roof again and began to play, hoping to calm my nerves down a bit.
'I dunno if anyone else is nervous, but hopefully this helps them too,' I thought as I played.
Once I got tired, I stopped and went back in. I went back under my covers and Akumu snuggled against me. I fell asleep, deciding to push my nerves away to deal with it tomorrow.
~.~
The morning sun shines through my windows, and right into my eyes. I sat up and stretched. The flutter of a small bird's wings made me look out the window. The sun was still rising. I lazily got up and went into the bathroom. I took a quick shower. I wrapped myself in a towel and looked into the mirror.
'I've been avoiding cutting my hair,' I thought, running my hands through my long hair, 'Let's just get it done and over with.'
I grabbed a kunai knife and with one swift move, I cut my hair. It was now mid-shoulder blade . I fixed the layers and cut my bangs shorter so I could see from my right eye again.
'Ino's gonna be upset,' I thought as I tied up my hair with the hair tie, now smaller than before.
I wore black shorts, a meshed shirt and a black top that only covered my chest. I tied my headband around my neck and put on my holster. I walked out of the bathroom and was greeted by Akumu. I pet the little feline's head and walked downstairs, Akumu following me. I got down to the kitchen and filled his bowls with food and water.
'Today's the day,' I thought.
Kakashi wasn't in the house, but I found a note on the table with a small box beside it.
Make sure to play nice with your new team mates!
Also, Happy Birthday!
- Kakashi
"Tch," I shoved it into my pocket.
I opened the box and inside was new pair of black ninja gloves with metal plates on them. I gave a small smile before putting them on.
'Not bad, Kakashi,' I thought.
I grabbed a mochi from the freezer, since I made so much I might as well eat it.
I heard a knock on the door.
I opened the door to see Shikamaru.
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" I asked.
He yawned, "I figured you were nervous, so I came early to make sure you didn't skip out."
"You know I wouldn't do that," I told him.
"...are you eating ice cream in the morning?" He asked.
"There's still a lot of ice cream mochi in the fridge," I told him.
"That would have been really useful during the really hot days during the week," He told me.
I looked at him with an expression of realization, "I forgot about them."
"Well...I don't think that's good for breakfast," He told me.
"It's not," I sighed, "I think its more like comfort than anything."
"You really are nervous," Shikamaru said, petting my head, "Let's go, we can't avoid it, as troublesome as it is, we just gotta go through it."
I nodded, "Okay."
I said bye to Akumu and closed the door.
We walked in silence as I ate the mochi. Shikamaru kept glancing at me.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Oh!" Shikamaru said in realization, "You cut your hair."
"Yeah," I said.
"I thought something was different," He said, "It looks nice, I can see your whole face."
I laughed, "It's nice to see everything more clearly."
~.~
I walked to one of the free seats, in the middle row. Shikamaru sat in the row above me. I turned and started chatting with him for a while until I noticed a familiar raven haired boy sit beside me.
"Morning, Kiki-chan," Sasuke greeted.
"Morning, Sasu-kun" I greeted back.
"Kyoko-chan!" I saw a flash of yellow and was pulled into a hug.
"Hello, Naruto," I said, "Please let go."
"Haha, sorry!" He said, giving me a huge smile.
I noticed something new about him, you couldn't miss it.
"...wait a minute," I said.
"I can't believe it too," Shikamaru said, "The monkey passed."
Naruto, was indeed, proudly wearing, the forehead protector of the Hidden Leaf Village.
"Yeah! I'm a ninja now! Like you guys!" Naruto exclaimed happily.
I gave him a look.
"...Mizuki? I'm guessing, he wanted you to pass?" I asked.
"Kinda," he said rubbing the back of his head.
Apparently Mizuki told him to steal this huge important scroll, filled with secret, illegal, techniques, and if Naruto was able to learn it, he would pass. Mizuki tricked him to get the scroll for himself. Iruka got involved, trying to get the scroll back. Iruka almost got killed, Naruto learn one of the techniques and used it against Mizuki, and boom, Iruka passed him.
"I see..." I got bored in the middle of Naruto's explanation.
Yes, I was curious about what happened, but the way Naruto explained...it was like a child telling a story.
We continued to talk among ourselves, and of course, the topic of teams came up.
"Who do you think will be on your team?" Naruto asked.
I shrugged.
"I hope Kyoko-chan will be on my team!" The blonde smiled.
"Why me?" I asked.
"We would be the best team ever! The strongest team ever! Just imagine! Us being the heroes! Maybe if you're lucky, I'll let you be my sidekick!" Naruto beamed.
I gave a sarcastic chuckle.
"Isn't the hero suppose to be stronger than the sidekick?" I asked.
"Huh? Yeah, why?" He asked dumbly.
"Oh, I dunno, last time I checked, I was way stronger than you," I said.
"Yeah right! It's obvious that I'm stronger than you!" Naruto said confidently.
"Say the person who failed the exams, three times," I told him.
"Hey, I passed this one," Naruto said, pointed at his headband.
"Uh-huh, after everyone else," I said, "Even if you were stronger than me, which your not, the hero should be smarter; or at least have a brain," I told him.
Sasuke and Shikamaru smirked, they were obviously enjoying this.
"That's it! Arm wrestle, now!" Naruto shouted, putting his arm on the desk.
"Let's make it interesting, how about a wager?" I smirked, "Loser does whatever the winner wishes." Shikamaru smirked.
"Yeah! You'll definitely go down!" Naruto exclaimed.
We shook on it and got ready, my right hand wrapped around his. Naruto stared fiercely at me, while I had a calm smirk.
"Start," Sasuke said.
I kept my arm still while he tried his best to bring my arm down. I decided to slowly bring my arm down, to give him some hope.
"Ha! I-I'm doing it! I'm gonna win!" Naruto said in a hopeful voice, watching as my arm moved slowly to the table.
When my arm was about a centimetre from touching the table, I decided to actually do something.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, kid," I said, with one swift move, my hand pushed Naruto's hand the other direction, slamming his hand on the table.
Naruto looked at me shocked.
"Kyoko, that was cruel," Shikamaru smirked.
I shrugged.
"I said I was sorry."
"But you didn't mean it?" The Nara asked me.
"Course not," I stuck my tongue out.
"Kyoko...that wasn't fair! I was gonna win!" Naruto told me.
"No you weren't," I told him, "It would've been boring if I won at the very beginning.
"Fine...what do I have to do?" Naruto asked.
"Just buy me lunch and I'm good," I shrugged.
"That's it?" Naruto asked.
"You say it like it's no big deal," I said.
"It isn't really much," Naruto told me.
"You got enough money?" I asked.
Naruto looked at me blankly for a moment.
"Uhh..." Naruto was soon interrupted by yelling of two familiar girls.
"I'M FIRST!" Two female ninjas shouted.
"Oh god, here we go," Shikamaru groaned.
"What do you mean you were first, Ino-pig?" Sakura shouted.
"My toe stepped into the classroom first, Forehead!" Ino stated.
"I was obviously ahead of you!" Sakura yelled.
"You're obviously delusional!" Ino spat back.
"They're both delusional, especially around Sasuke," I joked.
Shikamaru snickered. Sasuke pushed me for the joke, making me almost fall out of my seat.
"I was kidding," I told him, balancing myself on my seat.
I saw Sakura making her way to our row.
"Morning, Sakura-chan!" Naruto greeted, but was ignored by the pinkette.
Sakura made a bee line to Sasuke.
"Good morning, Sasuke-kun," Sakura said shyly to the onyx eyed Uchiha, who just stared at the front of the room.
"Can I sit beside you?" She asked, her face was stained the same shade of pink as her hair.
Naruto sulked in his own misery.
'Ignored by your crush who's obviously crushing on someone else, right in front of you,' I thought.
I noticed that Choji had arrived and was now talking to Shikamaru.
"Hey, I'm sitting next to Sasuke-kun!" Ino stated, facing the Haruno.
"Well, too bad! The seats already taken!" Sakura told Ino, crossing her arms as if she won the battle before it even started.
"I'm the one who got here first! I should be sitting next to Sasuke!" Ino screeched.
"What do you mean you came in first! I told you, I was here first!" Sakura told her.
Both the girls were eye to eye, their foreheads hitting each others. Naruto was irked at how Sakura immediately chose Sasuke over him. Naruto perched himself on Sasuke's desk, right in front of Sasuke, glaring right at him. Sasuke, of course, noticed and glared back.
"What's so special about you, Teme? You're just a cold, self-centered bastard," Naruto said, coldly.
"It's better than being an idiot, like you, Dobe," Sasuke said back.
They glared at each other.
"Hey, stop staring at Sasuke like that!" Sakura yelled.
"Yeah! Sasuke, beat him to a pulp!" Ino barked.
'This morning is...lively,' I shook my head.
Suddenly, some idiot, who was behind Naruto, leaned in his chair back, which caused Naruto to be pushed forward, losing his balance. Next thing we knew, they kissed each other.
"...what..." Sakura said in shock.
"I...uh..." Ino said, jaw dropped.
They broke it off and gagged at the fact that they had locked lips.
"Naruto..!" Sakura and Ino growled, with a couple other fan girls. Naruto turned pale. Sakura cracked her knuckles.
"Naruto, you're gonna pay for that!" The Haruno told him.
"W-wait!" Naruto said in a shaky voice.
They girls immediately started beating up the blonde.
I chuckled, "Y'know, I don't judge people's sexuality, but do that privately," I said to Sasuke.
"Wanna repeat that?" Sasuke glared.
"I was joking," I told him, "Here."
I handed him some gum, "It's not mouth wash, but if it'll distract from the taste of Narut-"
"Don't speak of it," Sasuke told me, taking the gum.
"Alright everyone, settle down," Iruka said, walking into the classroom.
Naruto ended up with a black eye and bruises where there shouldn't be bruises. He sat at the end of the row, next to Sakura, next to Sasuke, next to me.
"Last week, you were officially made Genin, now you guys are true ninjas," Iruka told us, "...I am honoured to be you're Sensei, but now starts your new life as a ninja, who will hopefully help keep our citizen and village safe," Iruka said proudly, "I will now tell you guys your teams, but because of the odd number, there will be a team of four students," He said.
He started calling out the teams, I patiently, and nervously, waited for my name to be called.
"...squad seven, Naruto," Naruto perked up, hearing his name.
"...Sakura."
"Yes!" The blond jumped out of his chair.
Sakura hung her head in disappointment.
"...Sasuke."
"Yes!" Sakura squealed, jumping out of her seat.
Naruto mourned, copying Sakura's act from earlier.
'Sucks to be them,' I chuckled, 'What a dysfunctional tea-'
"...and Kyoko, there's our four-man squad."
'...fuck,' I looked at Iruka Sensei with disbelief.
I turned to Shikamaru and gave him a look.
He mouthed "I'm sorry for your team."
"Sensei, why does an incredible ninja like me, have to be stuck on the same team as Sasuke?!" Naruto asked, demanding a reasonable answer.
"There are strict reasons for these placements, Naruto!" Iruka yelled at him, "Sasuke has the best score out if all the boys, you, on the other hand, have the worst!" Naruto slumped into his chair.
Sasuke looked nonchalant as always. Iruka must have noticed my look from earlier, because he then explain mine and Sakura's placement in the team.
"Sakura has one of the worst physical application scores, while Kyoko's Taijutsu is the best, not to mention that Kyoko has the best score out of all the girls," He told us.
"Jeez, Sensei, to think they would look at the personality matches too, but no, they only looked at the scores, strength, and weaknesses," I sighed.
"...I said that out loud, didn't I?" I said nervously.
"...yeah," Shikamaru answered.
"Well, if you have any problems, you can talk to the Hokage about it, since he's the one who put the teams together," Iruka told me.
"Maybe I should, maybe he wasn't in a great mood when he was putting squad seven together," I said. Iruka sent a glare.
"I'll stop," I said.
Iruka continue calling out the teams.
"How did you get to be on Sasuke's team?" Ino asked Sakura, obviously raged. Sakura just stuck her tongue out at the white blond.
'True love conquers all!' The pink haired girl thought happily.
"Ugh...worst birthday ever," I muttered quietly.
"...it's your birthday?" Shikamaru asked.
"...that accidentally slipped out, don't tell anyone," I whispered to him.
"Squad 8, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino," Iruka read out.
I looked over at Hinata.
'...she wants to be on Naruto's team...I would trade with her if I could,' I sighed.
"What's with girls and Sasuke?" Shikamaru asked.
"Eh? It's obvious isn't it?" Ino asked, looking at Shikamaru with disbelief.
He shrugged.
"Not really," He said. Ino sighed.
"How can you not understand?" She asked.
"Because I'm not a girl," The Nara replied.
"You understand, don't you?" Ino asked me.
"Don't drag me into this," I told her.
"Well, I hope I won't be stuck on the same team as you, that would be the worst," Ino said to Shikamaru.
"Squad nine, Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji..."
'Classic Ino-Shika-Cho,' I thought.
'What? I'm stuck with the Nara and food boy?' Ino thought in fear.
Shikamaru smirked, "It would be the worst to be on the same team, huh? Well the feelings mutual."
I smirked at the scene.
"You're stuck with Ino, good luck," I mocked.
"I have Choji," He told me, "Sorry about your team."
I sighed, "I just hope my Sensei can deal with this dysfunctional group."
~.~
After Iruka read out all the teams, he released us for lunch. I quickly jumped out the window, to avoid my group. I went to a quiet area that's usually not crowded.
"Sasuke! Sasuke-kun?! Where are you?" Sakura cried out.
I immediately hid in one of the trees.
'Fan girl,' I sighed.
I just couldn't deal with any of them right now, after fearing having a difficult team.
"Where did he run off so quickly? I was hoping we would be able to hang out at lunch and get to know each other, since we're in the same team and all," Sakura sighed to herself.
'Well...that isn't too bad, Iruka did talk a lot about teamwork, and wouldn't shut up about it,' I thought to myself, 'I can deal.'
I was about to come out from my hiding spot when I saw Naruto coming.
"Sakura-chan!" He cried out to the pink blond, he stopped a few feet away from her, "I was wondering if you wanted to lunch together? Get to know each other and stuff, since we're in the same team and all," Naruto asked nervously.
Sakura's eyes narrows at him.
"Why would I want to eat lunch with you? How could that thought even cross your mind?" She asked in a dark tone.
'Oh, Sakura...please let go of your obsession with Sasuke,' I sighed.
"Well we're in the same group, I thought we could-" Naruto was cut off by the Haruno.
"Naruto," Her eyes darkened, "You're annoying," She turned away from him.
"Sasuke-kun!" She continued to call out for her precious Uchiha, leaving a sad Uzumaki behind.
'I. Am going. To die,' I thought, quickly moving away from the area without being seen.
~.~
I hung out in one of the tree that went along a small path, looking forward to the future stress, being on the most annoying and troublesome team. I let out a sigh.
'Of all the students in the class, I had to be with the worst combination of people,' I frowned, but closed my eyes, trying to relax, if possible.
"Sakura."
I opened my eyes to a voice, a voice I never thought would say that pinkette's name with such a caring tone. I looked over to the side to see Sakura, who was eating her lunch on a bench, and Sasuke who was right in front of her. Sakura's eyes were huge with surprised.
"Sakura, you're forehead is so wide, so charming, it makes me want to kiss it," Sasuke told her.
I stifled my laugh, 'Uchiha is not good at flirting.'
"Of course, that's something Naruto would say," Sasuke said.
Sakura let out a huge sigh, filled with depression and disappointed.
'...this isn't Sasuke,' I figured, trying to read the Chakra sign
"Let me ask you something," The boy said, sitting himself next to her on the bench, "Naruto, what do you think of him?" He asked her.
'Mystery solved, this is Naruto. Now for the real mystery, why did he transform into the Uchiha, and where is the original Sasuke?' I pondered.
"Naruto?" Sakura repeated.
She looked down, "He knows about my feelings, and he always gets in between everything, making sure I don't succeed in what I'm trying to accomplish," She started out.
'...he asked if you wanted to eat lunch together, like how you were gonna ask Sasuke...' I sighed at the pitiful Haruno.
"...Naruto...he's...annoying," Sakura stated.
Sasuke's, er, Naruto's eyes were wide with surprised.
"You see, Sasuke-kun, all I ever wanted was for you to accept me," She told 'Sasuke', leaning closer towards him, closing her eyes.
The boy's eyes were so huge.
"I'll do anything for you to accept me, as you can tell...I'm desperate," Sakura said, blushing, still leaning towards 'Sasuke'.
'...she admitted that she's desperate,' I thought inn disbelief, 'She's showing her weakness so easily. How am I suppose to be on a mission when she's gonna make goo goo eyes at her weakness and the enemy is gonna use it against us.'
'Sasuke' leaned towards Sakura, about to kiss someone a second time today. Suddenly, the boy's stomach made a sound that did not sound good. He quickly fled towards the bathroom.
'Karma's a bitch,' I thought.
"Eh? Sasuke-kun?" Sakura called out, "Who knew he was so shy," She blushed.
'Time to go find the real Uchiha to settle this,' I leaped off the branch I was on, startling Sakura.
"W-were you up there the whole time?" She asked nervously.
"Yup," I said simply, "Pretty embarrassing."
"I..uh..well," Sakura stuttered.
"Don't worry, I have no reason to say anything about this," I told her before walking away, "Just hope Sasuke doesn't think badly of you."
~.~
I travelled by roof tops, looking for the Uchiha's chakra sign. It didn't take long, since he was stuck in one place. I went through the window of the classroom and was greeted by a tied up Uchiha on the floor.
"Naruto," I stated, not even asking.
He nodded, since his mouth was duck tapped.
"Poor Sasu-kun," I mocked, untying the binds, "You could've used the Escape Jutsu."
After I untied him, Sasuke ripped the tape off his mouth.
"Since you know how I ended like this, I assume you know why he transformed into me and what he did," He said, crossing his arms, waiting for an answer.
"Well, you're gonna have to deal with a lovesick Sakura, who just got shot by cupid's arrow way too many times. And she's waiting for her Prince Sasuke to return with a kiss for her," I told him.
He sighed angrily, "What the hell?"
"Hey, at least he didn't kiss her," I shrugged.
He looked at me.
"She's out there waiting?" Sasuke asked, a slight nervous tone in his voice.
"She's awaiting for her prince in shining armour to sweep her off her feet, and plant a kiss of true love upon her lips, and live happily ever after. Have fun," I said, about to leave, but the Uchiha caught my arm before I was able to take another step.
"No way, I'm not dealing with her alone, you're coming too," He told me.
"No, she saw me after Naruto left, if she sees me with you, I might be in trouble. Plus this is your business not mine," I told him.
"Aw, what's this? Kiki's afraid of little old Sakura?" Sasuke mocked.
"Aren't you?" I asked, "Tch, come on, lets get this over with," I told him.
He smirked, following my actions.
"You know," I started as we leaped from the window, "You're dealing with that cotton candy girl, I'm just coming with you for moral support."
"Yeah, yeah," Sasuke said as we walked down the path Sakura was waiting at.
"You have no idea what to say, do you?" I asked him.
"...nope," Sasuke shrugged.
"Let me guess, you're gonna walk past her, and when she calls you, you're gonna ask her about Naruto," I guessed.
"...probably, I do need to know where Naruto is anyways," He told me.
"Revenge?" I asked.
"Revenge," Sasuke confirmed.
We stopped at a squeal from a certain pink haired girl.
"Ah! Sasuke-kun!~" Sakura squealed.
"Are you ready? Like mentally? Because I am!" She told him, smiling like she was high off Sasuke presence.
She spotted me.
"Kyoko-chan, can you give us some privacy?" She asked, still smiling like a maniac.
"I would love to," I said, but a look from Sasuke told me to stay, "But unfortunately I am held hostage."
Sasuke looked around, everywhere but Sakura's emerald eyes.
"Sasuke?" Sakura looked at him.
"You know where Naruto is?" He asked.
"There you go, changing the subject again," The Haruno sighed, shaking her head, "Why do you care about him anyways? He's annoying and always gets into trouble because of his stupid pranks," she ranted.
The Uchiha continued to avoid her gaze.
"You know why he's like this?" Sakura started, "Its because he wasn't raised right, he doesn't have any parents."
I stiffened at that part. Sasuke's eyes narrowed.
"He doesn't know how to behave, no one disciplined him or taught him right from wrong," She continued, as if she knew everything.
I didn't notice, but my hands balled into fists.
"If I did something that Naruto would do, my parents would kill me. Heck, they would never let me do anything stupid, they shouldn't have let Naruto live on his own, I mean look at what happen to him! He-" Sakura's rant was stopped by my hand, that slapped her across her face.
Sakura's eyes were wide with disbelief.
"Watch what you're saying, Haruno," I growled, "You do realize you're talking to two out of three people in this team who don't have parents? Unlike you."
Sasuke was a little shocked, but didn't stop me.
"Do you think he had a choice of whether or not to have parents? It's not his fault that he doesn't have parents! And just because he doesn't have parents, doesn't mean he's a bad kid! Yes, he is annoying, but it doesn't have to do anything with the fact that he has no one with him. He's only doing those pranks because he wants attention. Imagine being alone for as long as Naruto has been. There's no one to praise you for what you did, no one to tell you that they love you," I told her.
She looked like she wanted to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth.
"Not to mention that most of the kids bully him when they don't even know him, they just listen to their parents who tell them to stay away from him," I was pissed off, and it was pretty obvious.
"Why do you care? You live with someone, don't you?" Sakura asked.
'She's just assuming, she doesn't know anything,' I thought.
"Yes, I live with someone. But that person isn't my biological parent or relative, I got lucky and I'm grateful every single day at the fact that I have a home and that I'm not alone. But I know what it's like to be alone. My life before was worse, no one cared for me, so I had to take care of myself," I told her, "You can't say anything about Naruto until you've been in his shoes at least once. You say Naruto's annoying, right? Go look in the mirror to see who's worse," I told her, turning my head in the opposite direction and walked away.
I could hear Sakura begin to cry and whine to Sasuke about me.
"Did you even listen to what Kyoko said? Look at yourself, not only are you annoying, your also conceited. You only care about yourself. Naruto's on your team, why don't you try caring for him? Being nice to him once in a while won't kill you," Sasuke said in a cold voice.
Either Sakura's crying died down, or I walked far enough to not hear her anymore.
~.~
"Geez, I haven't been this heated in a while," I said to myself, walking around, "I needa cool off...I'm pretty sure there's a vending machine around here somewhere."
"Something the matter?"
I looked up to see the lazy Ninja. He was with his team.
"Hello, Shikamaru," I greeted, "And Choji...where's Ino?"
"She thought she saw Sasuke and went after him," Choji answered.
"...oh boy, he's gonna have a field day," I said, "And not a good one."
They both hopped down to meet me.
"You seem upset," Shikamaru said, "What's up?"
"Can I please switch teams? I don't care which one, any would be better than this one," I complained.
"...even with Ino?" Shikamaru asked.
"Better than dealing with Haruno," I sighed, "Help me find a vending machine, I need a drink to cool off."
The two boys looked at each other.
"No one is worse than Ino," Shikamaru said.
"What did Sakura do?" Choji asked.
I explained what happened, which got me pissed again.
"I swear, she's so delusional that she didn't even realize who she was talking to," I huffed, "I slapped her when she was talking about Naruto. You should have seen it, I slapped her so hard, I bet her ancestors would have felt it," I told him.
"This is a rough first day for you," Shikamaru said.
"I wanted to hit her again, to see if I could bring her back to reality, or at least bring her into reality for the first time. She has no heart for anyone except for her "Precious" Sasuke-kun who doesn't return her feelings. She should really notice that Sasuke doesn't like her and move on. She's gonna get herself killed on a mission one day because she was drooling over him," I said, "I don't think this team is gonna work out...I really thought I could get along with them, but I guess not all together."
"Maybe...your Sensei can turn this team around?" Choji said.
"It'll take a miracle," I told him.
We walked around the corner and found a vending machine.
"Finally!" I exclaimed, pulling out some change.
"Maybe...you should be a little less harsh on Sakura. I'm not saying she didn't deserve that lecture, she probably doesn't know any better," Shikamaru told me.
"What is she, five? According to her, since she has parents, she's well behaved, obedient, and won't do anything that would upset her parents or others," I said in a mockingly girly tone.
I inserted the coins, pressed the buttons, and the machine dropped a water bottle for me.
He chuckled, "She probably said all of that cause she was around Sasuke. You know the weird stuff that they say when they're around Sasuke."
"Yeah," I sighed, taking gulps of water.
"You know, Sakura was bullied when she was really little, until Ino helped her. I know you were bullied too, so you could relate to her,"Shikamaru told me.
'More than you think,' I thought.
We heard Iruka calling us back to meet our new Sensei. We all looked at each other and shrugged, and walked back to class together.

A bit of heat, a bit of drama~
