Disclaimer: Blah.you know the stuff..one note: this chapter is in Suki's
point of view, not to be confused with anyone!
"Rise and shine everybody!" I was awaken by the familiar loud voice of Minako.
"It's time already?" I mumbled in disbelief.
"Can't we sleep a little longer?" Tsuyoshi groaned, pulling the covers over his head. " Nope, today, we'll be attending class with all the other leaf shinobis," she answered, dragging his blankets to the floor. Yoko had already put on her ninja gear and she stood quietly by the door.
I growled angrily as I pulled my mist ninja badge on , which I wore on my right arm. I then buckled the shuriken holder onto my right thigh and flipped my hair into a loose bun.
Tsuyoshi, on the other hand probably took the longest out of all three of us although he is a boy. He tied his badge on his head and took out a comb, carefully brushing his spikes until they were perfectly perpendicular to his head. He strapped on his shuriken holder on his left leg. Unlike me, he prefers to throw with his left arm. He probably wants to impress all the girls, I thought. I looked at Yoko and Minako and by the looks on their faces; they probably were thinking the same thing.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When we first arrived at the Ninja Academy, Minako had led us to a platform in front of the class room. I felt like a science experiment gone wrong as the whole class stared at us. Every child was wearing a graduation badge, I noticed. A man with black hair tied into a ponytail a scar across his nose walked up. He waved a hand and the class was silent.
"This year, we have received 4 ninjas as transfer students. They are from the Hidden.," he was cut off when a paper ball bounced of his head.
"Com'n, get to the point already!" a loud, obnoxious voice said.
"NARUTO!! Show some respect for the visitors!" the Jounin immediately yelled. I looked over to the direction of the boy "Naruto". He was wearing an orange jacket with white trim and he was currently lying back on his chair with his feet propped up on the desk.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever sensei Iruka," he answered. The Jounin turned towards us and silently apologized.
"After recess, we'll start our daily drills in Section # 51. I hope you'll take this time to get to know these students," he said, gesturing his hand towards us. A loud bell rang and everyone rushed through the door except for a few students who crowded around us. A girl with long pink hair smiled at me and stuck her hand out.
"I'm Sakura, and you are?" she asked.
"Suki," I answered, taking her hand. Another girl with long blond hair in ponytail also introduced herself to me. She was Yamanaka Ino. They both pointed to a boy sitting at a desk with spiked hair and bangs. They began to chatter non-stop about him. Not paying any attention to them, I glanced around and I noticed Tsuyoshi talking to a big guy who was munching on something and another with a broom like ponytail. Yoko, however; stood behind Minako as the Jounin Iruka; shamelessly flirted with her. As I scanned my eyes around the room, a girl with short purple hair and white pupils caught my eye. She was being stared down by a boy with long black hair and also whit pupils. For those of you who don't know me, I really despise bullying.
"So, then I find out that he likes long hair.," I cut Sakura off in mid- sentence.
"Who's that girl and guy over there?" I asked, pointing towards the door.
"That's Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Neji. They're cousins," Ino answered. She must have seen the way I was staring at Neji before she quickly responded.
"They're not exactly on friendly terms."
"Oh," I replied. I walked towards Hinata, determined to make friends with her. "Hi!, my name's Suki."
"Ummm.. I. I'm Hinata. Nice to.. to meet you," she answered, stuttering. She glanced behind me and paled. I turned around and noticed Neji approaching us. He pushed Hinata aside and she stumbled to the floor. I frowned, but he took no notice of it.
"Don't talk to her. She's a pathetic excuse for a ninja and a disgrace to the Hyuga family name," he said in an arrogant voice. I looked at Hinata. She was tearing and her lower lip began to quiver. As I said before, I truly despise bullying and I decided to say something.
"Hey, lay off, will ya?" I said, offering a hand to Hinata. She glanced at Neji as I asking permission and her gaze returned to me. I smiled and she took my hand. By now, the whole class was silent and I could fell the eyes burning into the back of my neck. I boldly stared at Neji and frowned.
"She's a human being like everyone else, so treat her like one." Neji's eyes narrowed at my statement and swiftly turned towards the door.
"You'll regret it someday," then he left as quickly as he had came.
"Woah. no one has ever talked to Neji like that and lived," I turned to the voice and saw Ino and Sakura gaping at me.
"Well, I guess I'm the first," I shrugged and looked at Hinata "You o.k.?"
She smiled and nodded.
"Thank you," she whispered. I nodded in response.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The bell rang once more and all the students lined up in front of Iruka Sensei. He held up 5 bells and randomly threw them to people. I caught one and looked around nervously.
"Today's drill will be different. Instead of your normal teams, I'll be splitting you up," he looked at his list and began to read off names. "Haruno Sakura, Akimichi Choji, and Aburame Shino; Team1. Rock Lee, Shimbe Tsuyoshi, and Yamanaka Ino; Team 2. Uzumaki Naruto, Tenten, and Inuzaka Kiba; team 3. Hyuga Hinata, Hyuga Neji, and Ono Suki; Team 4. Nara Shikamaru, Hato Yoko, and Uchiha Sasuke; Team 5..."
My mouth dropped open in shock as his voice droned on. I was with that bully Hyuga Neji?! I glanced at Hinata and she ran over to me. She looked extremely scared at the thought of being on the same team as Neji.
"Don't worry, I won't let him do anything to you," I said reassuringly.
"The objective is to steal bells from the other teams. The team with the highest number of bells after the time limit receives a month's worth of ramen."
A few students laughed at the reward, until Naruto yelled at them.
"HEY! Ramen is nothing to laugh at! I'd do anything for a month's worth of free ramen!" I hid my laughter and turned back to Hinata only to see Neji next to her, smirking. I glared at him and was about to yell at him when Iruka blew a whistle. I jumped off into the trees, gliding through the air like a bird. I looked behind me and noticed that Hinata and Neji had both kept up with me. Jumping into the bushes, I knelt down to discuss plans with them.
"We'll need to create an illusion of the bell," I said as I plucked two leaves and changing them into exact replicas of the bell. I handed them to Neji and Hinata. They took it and tucked it onto their hip pouches.
"So, any suggestions?" I asked.
"The first group that we should strike is Team 3, since it does have that freak Naruto and Tenten I know her skills well," he said. I turned to Hinata and she shook her head.
"O.K. then, let's go," I replied, jumping into the trees again. The bell jingled in my pouch as I leaped from tree to tree like a monkey. Suddenly I stopped I felt something coming towards me. I glanced behind me and signaled to Neji and Hinata. They softly crawled through the bushes. My muscles tensed as I sensed that aura again.
"Something's coming," Neji whispered.
I Pushed a bush aside and was knocked back by millions of hands. I yelped and protected myself with my arms. I opened my eyes and saw Naruto in front of me, then another appeared, and another. I turned around and saw that Neji and Hinata were in the same situation as me. We were completely surrounded by thousands of Narutos.
