Pre-rant: Hey, people liked it! And a couple of people want me to live, too. Scary…

Well, on to replies: joecool4, If enough people want him to live, I may use your idea; esther, Naruto was happy that Sasuke wasn't on his team, it was mainly to give Hinata some more hope. bo, sorry about the length, I will try to make them longer, but I write slow and don't have much free time anyway. His name is pronounced as if it didn't have the h in it, so the r just sort of slurs out. I based Darh on myself and Sakura's personality just irks me, but I'll try to give him some reason to really dislike her(other than the fact that she's the biggest roadblock in the happy road of Naru/Hina goodness)I'll try to make it less vague as well. nArUtOhInAtA fOrEvEr, well, here's your update, sorry it's so late. Clicke, thanks. Xoni Newcomer, as I said in my e-mail, I have a plot set up to the end of the wave country arc, and I'm sticking to it. Chibified kitsunes, thanks for the support, I may have him live if a lot of people want me to. I think that's everything.

To everyone else: Hey, you stuck around! Cool. Sorry for taking so long to update, long story behind it, and one that I don't feel like telling. Well not much new to say, please tell me what you think, if you leave an e-mail address, I'll contact you personally. Tell me if Darh (from the story, not me the writer) should live or die, and you can give ideas for what you would like to see happen after the Wave country arc. Whoa, that was big. Here we go.

Disclaimer: forgot this last chapter, heh, oops. Darh Uranaku is the only thing here that I own, and he argues with me on that fact quite often. Naruto and co. belong to some people with names that I'm not going to even attempt to spell and I don't feel like getting up to find out right now, but you know who they are.

Chap. 2: Teaching and ignorance

"He's late."

"No duh, baka."

"I'm bored. Ha, I know! This'll get him!" Naruto grabbed the dirtiest blackboard eraser he could find, and carefully placed it into the semi-open door.

"That's not going to do anything; we've got a jounin coming here. Something like that isn't going to do anything to him unless he chooses to ignore it."

"Shut up. This'll be great!"

Darh turned away from the cackling boy to face Hinata. "And WHY exactly do you like this guy?"

"Ano… well, he's…" Hinata was blushing profusely, stammering over her quietly spoken words and almost hoping Naruto would hear them.

"Never mind, it's okay. He's just getting on my nerves with all his bouncing around. You know how I am, I hate loud noises."

"I remember, t-that's why you came to sit with me that day."

-Flashback-(AN: Sorry, feel it needs to be in here.)

"Hey, you mind if I sit here?" Darh said, motioning to the seat next to the shy girl.

"Ano…I don't, that is…"

"Hey if you don't want me to sit here, just say so. I'll just find some other place to sit instead. I just wanted to sit here because it's quiet."

"Quiet?"

"Yeah, loud noises bug me, so I used to sit in that corner over there," he said, pointing to the far corner of the room, "but, Iruka-sensei felt that I should 'socialize' or something like that." He didn't sound too happy about the idea.

"Ano… but why me? I mean wouldn't you rather sit with some of the other boys in class instead, or one of the prettier girls?"

"The guys are all either assholes that brag about their stupid pranks or I sit by the girls who are so loud I'd go deaf just sitting near them."

"But what about Uchiha-san, he's very quiet."

"Two words: Fan Girls. They never leave him alone. God they're loud, last month I had to sit next to Haruno Sakura and I swear every sentence had 'Sasuke-kun' somewhere in it. She never shut up about him. I did learn never to call her forehead girl though."

"What do you mean?"

"She has one hell of a right hook." Hinata winced.

"You m-mean she…"

"She slugged me." He grumbled. "Well, can I sit here or not? I didn't plan on telling my life story when I decided to sit somewhere new."

"S-sorry, you can sit here. I'm sorry for being such a bother."

"Don't worry about it. By the way, what's your name? Mine's Darh Uranaku"

"H-Hinata Hyuuga. It's a pleasure to meet you Uranaku-san," she whispered, wondering if he'd realize that she was the clan heir and if he'd act differently because of it. She hoped he wouldn't.

"Please call me Darh, Hyuuga-san"

"Ano… please, Darh-san, you can call me Hinata. It wouldn't be proper for me to be able to use your first name and for you not to be able to use mine."

"Yeah, I guess your right, Hinata-san."

-End Flashback-

Darh snapped back into reality as he heard the door start to slide open. His hand began reaching down for a kunai, preparing for an attack, having seen some of the instructors' senses' of humor were a bit on the sadistic side. And promptly face-faulted as their instructor's head was hit by the eraser Naruto had put in the door.

"Ha-ha! Told you it'd get him."

"Dumb ass, he probably is just humoring you by letting himself be hit. Sorry sensei, he's not the sharpest kid on earth. I think only Hinata-san and I knew that you were outside, and she had to confirm my suspicions before we were sure."

'Not bad, this kid isn't to dull. And we've got a Hyuuga as well, this'll be fun.' "I'd have to say, based on my first impressions of you… I hate you all!"

"Great…" Darh groaned. "Great job, Uzumaki. You've made our leader hate our guts."

"Well, um…"

"Every one, out to the roof!"

"Hai, sensei," three voices echoed as one.

"Now, I'd like you all to tell us a little about yourselves." Their sensei gestured nonchalantly as he spoke.

"What exactly do you mean, that's sort of vague instruction. Show us what you want us to do; it'll probably be easier than trying to explain it. Plus, we know absolutely nothing about you."

"Well… my name is Kakashi Hatake. I really don't like talking about my likes and dislikes. My dreams for the future are none of your business and I have lots of hobbies. Your turn now, you, on the left."

"Ano… well I like bunnies, the colors lavender and yellow, and I guess my goal is to be strong enough to lead my clan well and… um… togetacertainboytonoticeme." She was blushing and glancing at Naruto the whole time

Kakashi sighed under his mask, 'I almost lucked out this time, but yet another kunochi with guys on her mind instead of training.' "You, over there against the wall, what's your story?"

"Meh, my name is Uranaku Darh. I like when it's quiet, the colors grey and red, and romance stories. I dislike bright colors, loud noises, and people who ask stupid questions..."

"Oi, are you insulting me?"

"…like that one. My goal in life is to get married and have a daughter. Being a ninja is just to make me strong enough to protect those I love"

'Well, he's different. Very honest, bluntly so, but honest' "Very well, you in the orange coat. Tell us your bit."

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen and practical jokes, and I don't like cocky bastards or the three minute wait when I make ramen. My goal…"

"Here we go again." Darh muttered. Hinata giggled, knowing what was going to happen,

"…is to become Hokage!"

'Didn't he turn out interesting…' "Tell that's all for now, formal training begins tomorrow"

"Whoo-hoo! What're we doing, huh? Come on tell me!"

"Survival exercises…"

"Meh, more of those damn things, our years in the academy were full of 'em."

Hinata agreed, but added nothing to the conversation.

"These will be different, you're surviving against me."

"Then what sorta practice will this be?" Naruto whined. Kakashi shrugged his shoulders and chuckled to himself.

"Ano… Kakashi-sensei, why are you laughing?"

"Oh, nothing it's just if I told you, you'd all chicken out."

"WHAAAAT!"

"Naruto, shut up."

'I can't do this! But I must, I must remain here with Naruto-kun. I have to try!'

"HAHAHA! See, you're all chickening out already!"

"I hate my life…"

Post-rant: Guess who said that last line. (It's pretty easy) Well this chapter was longer. Again sorry for the delays, but I have a life… somewhat. But again thanks for putting up with me and my horrible writing. Please read and review, heck flame if you want, just let me know you read it. For all other information, refer to the pre-rant.
