Mesa no owns Naruto. Mesa no own song either.
Seito: Okay people. You've convince me. It's official. I'm finishing this story. Now to answer some of you guys reviews. Now before I start, I believe I'm missing a few reviews. Two from here and one from my 'Cloud Watching, Stargazing' story. So if I missed your review then that's why.
To Kisu
Thank you. I hope this chapter narrows down the possibilities here. Maybe you'll figure it out. But I'm not giving out names not yet. ^^
To Trubluewolfeyes
Yeah I think I did. Even myself. But forget about it. I'm continuing it so yeah it doesn't matter anymore.
To lalalala
Well hopefully you'll keep reading despite the fact that Seika still plays a part in the story. This chapter and hopefully the rest will tell you which characters are viewed in the next couple of paragraphs until you come across another box. You'll see what I mean. Other then that, you'll kinda just have to bare with her when she's with Naruto, Sasuke or any other Naruto character for that part. Seika was mainly created to fill in spots that needed to filled in. (I couldn't think of any Naruto character that would seem to play the guitar) Also for comic and humor relief. (Seika: I should be feeling insulted here. Seito: ^^;;)
To Kuroi Kistune
Eep!!! **cowers behind the desk** Umm... thanks for the review. Um... I think you're half the reason to why I'm continuing this story. So um... thank you?
To my other reviewers
THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!

Okay so you told the boy you love that you love him and found out that he loves you too. Hell he's been in love with you longer then you've been in love with him. Cool. So how are you going to everyone else? What about family members too? Keeping secrets are very hard to do. Especially when you have to fool a whole school. Lucky you.

Naruto ran towards of his school. It was a bright sunny Monday morning. The clouds were in the sky rolling by. The weather was cool, not to hot. Sadly there wasn't a breeze blowing like it had been Friday afternoon. Right now Naruto didn't care. He just wanted to get to school and see Sasuke. It was just this pass weekend that he admitted his love to Sasuke and found out his new boyfriend love him too. They decided that they would hold out on telling people that they were an 'item' until they were ready to accept the fact they were gay, if that how you want to phrase it. Not mention that Naruto didn't want to keep running from Sasuke's fan group for taking their 'precious Sasuke-kun' from them. Then there was a fact that the school had to recover that their most popular boy student was now friends with the loser of the school.
Unfortunately, at the moment, Naruto was late. Right behind was Seika, mumbling incoherently something about, brats and alarm clocks and Monday. As they turned the corner onto the campus, Naruto ran right into someone. Naruto was sent flying into Seika, whose previous training in martial arts was the only thing that kept her from falling onto the ground.
Naruto who was ready to yell at the person to watch were they were going took the brief moment to look at whom he was running into. A few years older then Seika, looking around the age of fresh out of college, stood a young man with black hair pulled back in a high ponytail with black eyes and a long scar running over the bridge of his nose. Long blue jeans and a blue shirt completely his outfit with black shoes. Naruto almost didn't recognize him. "Iruka!"
Iruka who was shaking the stars from his head, looked at the source of the voice. "Naruto," he asked. Naruto glomped Iruka in a hug. "What are you doing here," Naruto asked. He was happy to see his old friend. Iruka had been his only friend before he met Seika. Iruka returned the hug and answered Naruto's question. "I got a job to teach here."
Naruto was ecstatic. The person he considered as an older brother was here. He hadn't see Iruka in five years, living on opposites side of the town, but had written every week to each other. "Really! Wow that's great," said Naruto, "What class? Is Kakashi here? Can we go for ramen after school?" He began to shot out questions faster then Iruka could answer them. "Calm down Naruto," said Iruka. "I'm teaching English and yes, Kakashi is here too."
"Cool! Elementary, Junior High, or High level of English? And what is Kakashi teaching," asked Naruto, getting more and more excited.
"All three and Kakashi is teaching math," answered Iruka. He smiled. He had nearly forgotten Naruto's antics were like.
"Really?! Wha—"started Naruto before he was interrupted.
"As much as I hate to break this touching little reunion, but we're going to be late," said Seika, feeling slightly left out.
Naruto check the time on his watch. Seika spoke the truth. They had one minute to get to class and they were still too far to make in time. "Wha!!! See you later Iruka! Gotta go!" Before Naruto and Seika could even more, the bell went off.
BRRRRRRRRRINNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seika twitched. She was never late to class. 'Damnit Naruto,' she thought, 'Of all the days you had to pull a prank on me, it had to be today and it had to the alarm clock prank [1]too on top of that.' She ran a hand through her white bangs, well that just shot down her prefect attendance record for the year. It was almost the end of the school year too. Oh well.
~*~Meanwhile~*~
Two pairs of black eyes watch the classroom door in two different rooms, waiting as students took their seats. One was in English, watching the door for a certain classmate as the other across campus in math class watching the door. Their thoughts happen coincide at the same time as they both thought, 'Where on earth is he/she?'

"This is wonderful," mumbled Seika. It had dawn on her that she was now looking at severing detention for coming to class without a pass. Her day wasn't looking all too good. Down another hallway, Asuma decided to walk around the corner. He was headed towards his classroom when he saw orange. There was only one kid on the whole entire campus that wore just that bright, noticeable color, Uzumaki Naruto. "Now what on earth is he doing in the hallways? He's supposed to be in class. My class to be precise," he said. Asuma headed towards his student only to come across two more familiar faces. The first he recognized immediately, Umino Iruka.
"Iruka what are you doing here," asked Asuma. He knew Iruka being one of Kakashi's old friends. He looked at Naruto. "And why aren't you in class."
"Sorry Asuma sensei," started Naruto.
"But I held them up," said Iruka. In away it was true. If he didn't run into Naruto and kept him and his friend (Iruka wondered who the girl was) from getting to class.
"Well since it is you and Naruto is my student. I guess that I let this slide," said Asuma. "But that only solve one problem." He looked at the third member present. He didn't recognized her at first but the face was familiar. She was probably one of her former students. Then the name appeared and matched itself with the face. "Usuyuki. Usuyuki Seika right," he said.
Seika nodded. "I'm glad you remember me, Asuma-sensei."
"Yup the top student of your grade during the time, except for Uchiha Itachi that was," said Asuma. Seika's smile became slightly strain. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the high school area? If I remember right, you were never late unless you had a pass."
Iruka sigh. "I'm afraid that was also my fault."
Asuma's eyebrow rose. "Well, just tell your teacher, that you were helping me with something and couldn't make to class in time. If the teacher needs clearance with that, then have them come to me. What is your next class anyway? And who's the teacher?"
"English and..." Seika trailed off. She stared, almost gapping at Iruka. "And what," asked Asuma. She pointed to Iruka. "He's my new teacher," she finished weakly.
Asuma turned to Iruka and swung his arm around the smaller teacher's neck. "Well you finally did it. You're a teacher! Let me guess, Kakashi somewhere in this school too." Iruka nodded. "Wait Iruka-sensei you know Asuma- sensei," asked Naruto. Iruka nodded again.
"Well let's get to class, Naruto. Seika show your new teacher to class and I'll catch you later, Iruka," said Asuma. He handed Naruto a pack of paper. "Here, kid make yourself useful." Naruto glared at him but took the papers anyways.

Naruto got to math with little trouble. It wasn't long before Asuma started his long lesson. Naruto took his seat, second riser, and second seat from the window, also which happened to be next to Sasuke who had the seat window. "Where were you," Sasuke asked, when Asuma sensei wasn't looking. There was a small hint of worry in his soft voice.
"There's a new English teacher. I knew him before I came to this school. I sorta ran into him this morning. I also left my house late," answered Naruto.
Sasuke nodded, understanding Naruto's words and returned his attention to the board. Asuma would have caught them talking if they hadn't stop that moment, for right then Asuma turned and faced the class. Naruto smiled and began to copy down the notes. This was the first time in a long time that Naruto had been happy to be in math class.

Area: High School Area
Class/Location: English
Teacher: Iruka-sensei
Time: Around 8 o-clock
Date: Monday, March 17
Characters: Seika and a certain classmate of hers.
---------
Seika absentmindedly tapped her pen against the desk creating a soft, tap- tap sound. Her desk was located in the front of the classroom, right next to the window and in front of Iruka-sensei's desk. Her mind drifted to the thoughts of wondering why she had signed up for English when she spoke fluently in the language. 'Oh that's right that school require three consistence years of a language with English the only class available for the 3 years I've been here. The other languages class were stilled filled,' she thought to herself. 'Maybe next year I get another language class.'
Suddenly a folded up piece of paper in the shape of a triangle landed on her desk. Blinking, she picked it up. In black ink with the same neat handwriting from her gift's note, it read: ~Why were you late?~ There wasn't any signature but Seika knew whom it was from. Her classmate sitting behind her. As happy as she was for receiving the gift, it was strange that this classmate of hers started sent notes to her. They barely knew of each other existence a month ago. Wait scratch that. They knew of each others existence but either refuse to or didn't want acknowledge one another. Clicking her blue ballpoint pen, she wrote down: ~That none of your business.~
Unclicking her pen, Seika folded the note back up. Pretending to stretch, she lean back and placed it on the desk behind her. Then she prop up her elbow on the desk and rested her head on her hand, her attention return to Iruka-sensei's lecture.
A few minutes later, something bounced off her head and landed on her desk. Another note. Resisting the urge to turn around and full out glare at the person (it wouldn't have much affect though), Seika opened the note. Below her answer it said: ~I'm making it my business. By the way nice necklace.~ Rolling her sapphire eyes, she clicked open her pen again and wrote. ~You're not my mother. So I don't have to tell you. And you should know about the necklace. You're the one who gave it to me.~
This time when she returned the note, she flickered it back. Placing the note in her hand and then chancing her position so that her head was now leaning on her arm, her neck curled around her hand and that she was looking out the window, she used the glass of the window to predict the position of the head and fired. She watched with slight amusement as the reflection of the window revealed that her note hit it's mark. The forehead of her classmate.
Thus began the small note war in English class.

Area: Junior High Area
Class/Location: Lunch/Rooftop
Time: Around 12 : 09
Date: Monday, March 17
Characters: Naruto and Sasuke
------------
Naruto laid on the rooftop of school. It was lunchtime. That would mean a whole hour to himself and Sasuke, which only left about 50 minutes since nearly 10 minutes have passed. Unfortunately, the blond hair boy couldn't find head or hair of his boyfriend. Naruto figure that Sasuke was eating lunch and wanted sometime to be alone. After years of watching the child prodigy, Naruto knew how much Sasuke valued his solitariness.
Ahh. The sun felt so good, so warm. This was Naruto's special spot. He came here everyday to eat lunch and relax during the breaks. Something when he was waiting for Seika to pick him up so they could go home together, he would wait up here. Since no one came up here, during recess and lunch Naruto had the rooftop to himself. Mainly because all the student were hanging out with their friends.
Naruto for one reason or another, was the loser of the school. It may have to do with his endless pranks and loud voice or the whiskers on his face, but it didn't change the fact that he was the loser of the school and lowest on the social rank. Because he was labeled as the loser of the school, he didn't have any friends in school. But Naruto didn't mind, not really. He had Seika, Iruka and Kakashi as friends even though they were much older then him. And now he had Sasuke too. That was all that matter. Now if he could only find Sasuke.
Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around him pulling him into someone's grip. Naruto was startle but calm down. It was Sasuke. Smiling at his boyfriend, Naruto said, "I didn't hear you come up. How didja you know I was up here?"
Sasuke gave him one of his soft, rare smiles. "I told you dobe, I've watched you for years. More then you've ever watched me and not to mention all more careful then you too. I knew you come up here everyday and I see way. It's really nice up here." Naruto pouted at the term of 'dobe' but knew it was only an affection pet name.
"So what was that about a new English teacher and you knowing him," asked Sasuke bring up their previous conversation from this morning.
"Oh," said Naruto. "He's someone I consider an older brother. I knew him before I came to this school. He was in college at the time. His name is Iruka."
Sasuke eyebrow rose. He hadn't gone to English yet so he hadn't met this knew teacher yet. Naruto didn't stop there though. "Aa, and his boyfriend is also supposed to be working here. Kakashi is a math teacher, so he's probably teaching high school math or elementary since Asuma sensei was here today," said Naruto.
"Aa," said Sasuke. Two new teachers? How strange.

Characters: Ino, Sakura, Shikamaru, and Lee
-------------
"INO PIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The blond hair girl turned sharply at the sound of the insult to her name. Right on cue, storming down the hallway, came her rival and former best friend, Haruno Sakura. To the pink hair girl was furious was understand met. But the reason to her rival's anger, puzzled Ino. If it was about Sasuke, then Ino was innocent. She had spent the pass 20 minutes trying to find the dark hair angel.
"Where have you hidden Sasuke-kun," demanded Sakura. She too had spent the last 20 minutes trying to locate the lone wolf of school. Rumor had it, that he was just seen by on of his fan groups girls at the beginning of lunch but seem to disappear right after that. No one had seen the Uchiha for the pass 10 minutes and Sakura had search the school from top to bottom. (Though it never dawn on her to look at the *very* top of the building. Some class genius.)
"I haven't done anything to Sasuke-kun," Ino shot back, glaring at the pink hair girl. "I've been trying to find Sasuke-kun for the pass 20 minutes. Ask Shikamaru. He's been with me that whole time," defend Ino, pointing to the black hair boy beside her.
Sakura glared at her rival before looking at her classmate before looking at her lazy yet a genius, classmate. Shikamaru. The black boy nodded tiredly. The antics of these girls these days. Will it ever stop? Shikamaru wouldn't be surprised if Sasuke decided to settle down with a guy instead of a girl. What he saw next nearly made him burst out in laughter.
Sakura was all starry/teary eyed looking up the ceiling, hands clasped together as if she was praying. Shikamaru could almost hear the words, 'Oh where oh where is my Sasuke-kun' coming out of her mouth. As cold hearted as that bastard was, Shikamaru couldn't help but feel sorry for that guy. And to think he had to deal with this every single day. Yup at the moment, there wasn't anyone else Shikamaru felt more sorry for.
Then at that moment, both girls glared at each before stomping off down different hallways even more determined to find their "Sasuke-kun". Seconds later a boy in a green outfit came running down the hallways after Sakura. He had thick eyebrows and a bowl cut hairdo. Shikamaru sweatdrop. "Sakura- chan!!! Wait for me," called out the boy. His name was Rock Lee. He was in love with the Sakura.
Soon Lee disappeared around the same corner as Sakura. Everyone was gone, leaving Shikamaru by himself. He let out a sigh. "How bothersome," he said.

Characters: Iruka and Kakashi
------------------
Iruka tapped a stack of papers against the desk. He thought his first day as a teacher when find. With the exception of a few troublemakers, Iruka thought he handled the class well. He felt piece of fabric against his forehead as an indirect kiss was place there. Iruka found himself looking at the black eyes (is it me or does have of the Naruto cast have black eyes or I'm I misinform) of his own lover, Hatake Kakashi.
"Hello, Kakashi," said Iruka with a smile.
Kakashi sat himself down in a nearby chair. "Hard at work already I see," he mused, indicating to the large stack of papers on Iruka's desk. Iruka nodded. Despite the fact that it was his first day as a teacher, he had no problem picking up from the last lesson. Surprisingly he didn't have any problems with the students. No pranks on the new teachers had been pulled yet and Iruka didn't know whether he should be relieved or to start watching his back.
"So how your class going," asked Iruka. He placed his red pen down. "Just fine," said Kakashi. "The kids are such a bore though." Iruka sweatdrop a bit. Only Kakashi would think of that. "So have you seen Naruto yet," asked Iruka.
Kakashi shook his head. "No but knowing him, I'll stumble onto him soon," he said. "So have you met this Uchiha kid everyone keeps talking about?" Iruka shook his head.
"He's in my next class. What about his brother," asked Iruka. When they signed up for this job, the lady behind the desk couldn't stop talking about to the Uchihas. Both Iruka and Kakashi had heard of the wealthy family. The decease parents were have said to been poison though both siblings still lived and attended this school. The younger of the sibling was the star student of the junior high area and genius to the boot. The older brother was supposed to star student of the high school area, a genius as well, and the captain of the Martial Arts Club. Both Uchihas have made quite a name for themselves.
"Same here," said Kakashi. "I look forward to seeing whether they're as smart and as good as everyone says they are." Iruka smiled. Small talk immerged between the two, but not much, since both weren't good at small conversations. Neither of them had notice that the time was slowly, yet still rather quickly, ticked away.

Date: Monday, March 17
Characters: Seika and that certain classmate of hers.
-----------------
Seika was pissed. Well it could just be that she was paranoid. But the nagging feeling that someone was watching her wouldn't disappeared. Every time she looked around the feeling disappeared. But old habits are hard to die and Seika KNEW someone was out there. She just hadn't figure out WHERE. There was only one person who she had a hard time finding. It was HIM again. Seika didn't understand. She had never talked to him before, not that she talks to people and except for the one time, she completely ignored the guy. SO WHY ON EARTH WAS HE STALKING HER?!?! Okay stalking maybe a strong word, but why on earth was he watching her?! (Seika: I'm here for humor and comic relief aren't I? Seito: ^^;;) She was just trying to eat her lunch. That was it. What did she do to deserve this?
There!
Seika immediately threw her chopsticks to her right. A soft 'thud' indicated that she had hit her mark. Out from the trees came HIM. Seika sent him one of her fierce glares, but it had no affect since he often glared at other people as well. "Damn you throw hard," he muttered, rubbing his cheek and tossing back her chopsticks. Seika caught them with ease, twirling them around her fingers before setting them down but didn't let up on her glare.
"Why are you stalking me," she demanded. Her normally soft voice, was hard. The words almost came hissing out.
"I don't call it stalking," he answered.
"Then watching me, whatever. Why are you bothering me," said Seika.
"I wouldn't call it bothering it either. I'm surprised that you sense me though. Not many people can. How did you do it," he asked, completely brushing away her question.
"What do you want," asked Seika. She crossed her arms over her chest and waited for answer.
He didn't answer. "Um... to get to know you better," he said. That came out more of a question then a statement. Seika began to twitch. First off she was a loner. She didn't have friends nor was she supposed to, hence the title LONE-r. Second she almost practically hated this guy (Seito: It's really a crush. Seika in denial. Seika: IT ISN'T A CRUSH!! Seito: You're blushing.) Third the nerve of this guy. He just suddenly wants to become friends with her. Does he have any idea what that would do to his reputation and her health and sake of mind?!?! Needing to blow some steam, she punched the poor guy in the tree nearby, picked up her bag, and storm off around the corner.
Moments later, footsteps greeted her ears. HIS footsteps. It was bad enough the guy was in all of her class, but now he's following her around too! Somewhere in her mind the thought of how he got up so fast appeared in her mind. 'That punch would have knocked out anyone. Why is he up? Oh that's right. He's a martial artist too. He probably block my punch. Not to mention my punch has weaken over the years,' she thought. A small hint of worry and guilt shadowed over her heart and she wonder slightly if she had hurt him. Probably not. He's still walking.
"Hey!"
Seika snapped around. "What?!"
To anyone who didn't know who the two were it would see like a typical boyfriend-girlfriend scenario where boyfriend did something and now the girlfriend was beyond mad. But to classmates, they're probably wondering how two people on near opposite ends of the social ladder knew each other.

Characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Iruka, the rest of the English class
------------
"I guess we have to get to class," mutter Sasuke. Naruto nodded numbly not really wanting to leave. He wanted to stay up here with Sasuke. But all good things must come to end and this sweet moment will have to be continued later. Sasuke placed a light kiss on Naruto's head and then stood up. Naruto was about to the same when he found himself being offered a hand. Naruto looked up.
Sasuke with that soft smile of his, offered his hand to help Naruto off the ground. "Here dobe," he teasingly. Naruto stuck his tongue out at him but took his boyfriend hand.
Moments later they were outside their English classroom. Just around the corner wisps of silver hair disappearing around the corner. Upon walking in, they found their new teacher blushing like tomato. Sasuke's eyebrow rose in question but Naruto grin realizing whose silver hair he just saw was.
"Hey Iruka-sensei. Maybe you and Kakashi should get a room eh," said Naruto. Iruka suddenly became aware that he was no longer the only one in this room. "Huh? Oh konnichiwa Naruto," said Iruka. When Naruto's words finally stunk in, Iruka blushed even harder. But his sharp eyes didn't miss the how close Naruto was standing next to the boy. Iruka was sure they were holding hands, but wasn't too sure, the hands were blocked from view by his desk.
"Who's this," asked Iruka. He was talking about Sasuke. "Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke," said Sasuke. Iruka nodded.
"So you're the Uchiha kid I've hear so much about. Nice to met you. I'm Iruka-sensei," said Iruka. So this was Sasuke. Sasuke nodded. Right after Naruto and Sasuke took their seats, right next to each other, the rest of the class slowly filter into the classroom.
~*~
"Okay class. We have a project," announced Iruka. Over half the class immediate groan. "It will done in groups of two. You are to find are write and draw a children reading book in English. You will be graded on content, proper grammar and sentence structure, fluently, and artistic touch. Reframe from swearing in the book since this is a children book. So it should be something you little brother or sister or cousin should be able to read." All the girls perked up at the words "groups of two". All began to chat, hoping they would be paired up with their beloved "Sasuke-kun".
Naruto was also praying. He was praying that he would be paired up with Sasuke. Naruto was sure Sasuke was the only person in this class, that Naruto could work without problems. Sasuke was thinking alone the same lines. 'If I'm paired up with a stupid girl from my fan club,' Sasuke thought, 'I am going to demand that I paired up with someone else or just do it by myself. Then again if my partner is a girl from my fan club I probably wouldn't be able to anything anyways. Kami-sama pair me up with Naruto.'
"The story will have to be about an inanimate object and at least 10 pages long," continue Iruka as he read off the requirements for this project. You will have 2 weeks to finish this project. You may also ask help from anyone. So yes feel free to ask the kids from high school area." He then shut the book and looked around the class. Iruka sweatdrop at the fact the half the class wasn't listening to him. Strangely Naruto was paying attention and sent an almost pleading look at him. Iruka had a feeling it may have to do with the fact that Naruto want to be paired up with someone smart. Almost as sensing his thought, Naruto shook his head and shot a glance at Sasuke. 'He wants to be paired up with Sasuke,' thought Iruka. 'I have a feeling they're hiding something.' Though Sasuke didn't show it as much as Naruto, Iruka could also tell that Sasuke was pleading along the same time but was more so distress at the fact of being paired up with a girl. Iruka's eyebrow rose. How interesting. He looked the note the last teacher left behind. Yes very interesting...
Clearing his throat to get the class attention, Iruka began, "Okay then the partners are...."

YAY! Kakashi and Iruka fluff. They're my next favorite pairing next to Sasunaru. Don't ask why. They just are. Um... don't mind me. I'm rambling here.
Um... okay. There are a lot of things I must first bring to everyone's attention. I can only write fluff. I'm not going to go describing the relationship at the most you'll get "hugs and kisses" but don't expect too much of depth of the relationship. In others words I'm keeping this around the 'G' or 'PG' level. I'll say kiss but don't expect to see description of what the tongue is doing. Use you're imagination for that part.
Second is that there is a high chance that Seika will be paired off with someone or at the very least become very close to someone. So yes there is a possibility of an OC/Naruto character paring. (Seika: I think you just lost all your reviewers. Seito: Then that gives me an excuse to end the story. Seika: I don't think they want to end even if they don't want me to be paired up with someone. Seito: **glare**)
Third. I'm trying to make it so Seika isn't a Mary-Sue. Hence why I'm tormenting her so. Please understand that. I'm trying really hard to make sure she doesn't end up like a Mary-Sue. I really am. If I ever get around to it, I'll post a small profile on Seika. (Seito: Didja know she terrified of turtles. Childhood fear. **snicker** Seika: **glare** no need to tell them that. Seito: She's allergic to daisies too. Seika: You're asking for it. Seito: Hasn't practice martial artist in over 5 years. Seika: Seito... Seito: ^^;;) I'll also add in the Naruto characters. You see how it's different (or not) from the manga/anime. Since this is an alternate universe and modern times, something are different. Like Itachi didn't go on a killing spree and killed his parents but they're still death. Sasuke isn't after his brother blood but rather has a small sibling rivalry going in between and not to mention his soft side that Sasuke only shows to Naruto. Yeah, small things like that. I still try and keep them IC. Oh everyone right now is about the same age as they are in the manga. Though I may have changed a few to make it fit. Like Iruka and Kakashi maybe a year or two older then they are in the show. Or maybe the characters will be younger (the five sound nin, Orochimaru's goonies men and one girl, are around the high age [17-18] so if they're older then that, well yeah they're now younger.)
Forth. I change the title. If anyone's curious it's supposed to mean, "Prayer under the Flower Framework" I could be wrong though. Please correct me if I am. Also the title of the chapter, the first part is the title of the song featured in the chapter. The second half is what this chapter title is. So this chapter is Catch You, Catch Me, First Day of School. The title of the song is 'Catch You, Catch Me' from Cardcaptors Sakura. The title of the chapter is 'First Day of School'. Get it? So for the first two chapter the song is 'Notice Me' and the chapter titles follow after that. I hope I'm not confusing anyone.
Five just a note to see if someone figure it out yet. Anyone know who Seika's classmate is? Here's the clues can be found in the story.
Black Eyes
Martial Artist
Neat Handwriting
Attends the High School Area (so that means he's around Seika's age)
A Boy
Is the same person that gave Seika the necklace
Tell me who you think it is k? I'm just curious to see if anyone figure it out. I think may have missed a few clues so you can go back to the other two chapters and try and find more in this one and the other two. Forgive all spelling and grammar mistakes please. Other then that. I guess...
Review!
Seito: Okay people. You've convince me. It's official. I'm finishing this story. Now to answer some of you guys reviews. Now before I start, I believe I'm missing a few reviews. Two from here and one from my 'Cloud Watching, Stargazing' story. So if I missed your review then that's why.
To Kisu
Thank you. I hope this chapter narrows down the possibilities here. Maybe you'll figure it out. But I'm not giving out names not yet. ^^
To Trubluewolfeyes
Yeah I think I did. Even myself. But forget about it. I'm continuing it so yeah it doesn't matter anymore.
To lalalala
Well hopefully you'll keep reading despite the fact that Seika still plays a part in the story. This chapter and hopefully the rest will tell you which characters are viewed in the next couple of paragraphs until you come across another box. You'll see what I mean. Other then that, you'll kinda just have to bare with her when she's with Naruto, Sasuke or any other Naruto character for that part. Seika was mainly created to fill in spots that needed to filled in. (I couldn't think of any Naruto character that would seem to play the guitar) Also for comic and humor relief. (Seika: I should be feeling insulted here. Seito: ^^;;)
To Kuroi Kistune
Eep!!! **cowers behind the desk** Umm... thanks for the review. Um... I think you're half the reason to why I'm continuing this story. So um... thank you?
To my other reviewers
THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!

Okay so you told the boy you love that you love him and found out that he loves you too. Hell he's been in love with you longer then you've been in love with him. Cool. So how are you going to everyone else? What about family members too? Keeping secrets are very hard to do. Especially when you have to fool a whole school. Lucky you.

Naruto ran towards of his school. It was a bright sunny Monday morning. The clouds were in the sky rolling by. The weather was cool, not to hot. Sadly there wasn't a breeze blowing like it had been Friday afternoon. Right now Naruto didn't care. He just wanted to get to school and see Sasuke. It was just this pass weekend that he admitted his love to Sasuke and found out his new boyfriend love him too. They decided that they would hold out on telling people that they were an 'item' until they were ready to accept the fact they were gay, if that how you want to phrase it. Not mention that Naruto didn't want to keep running from Sasuke's fan group for taking their 'precious Sasuke-kun' from them. Then there was a fact that the school had to recover that their most popular boy student was now friends with the loser of the school.
Unfortunately, at the moment, Naruto was late. Right behind was Seika, mumbling incoherently something about, brats and alarm clocks and Monday. As they turned the corner onto the campus, Naruto ran right into someone. Naruto was sent flying into Seika, whose previous training in martial arts was the only thing that kept her from falling onto the ground.
Naruto who was ready to yell at the person to watch were they were going took the brief moment to look at whom he was running into. A few years older then Seika, looking around the age of fresh out of college, stood a young man with black hair pulled back in a high ponytail with black eyes and a long scar running over the bridge of his nose. Long blue jeans and a blue shirt completely his outfit with black shoes. Naruto almost didn't recognize him. "Iruka!"
Iruka who was shaking the stars from his head, looked at the source of the voice. "Naruto," he asked. Naruto glomped Iruka in a hug. "What are you doing here," Naruto asked. He was happy to see his old friend. Iruka had been his only friend before he met Seika. Iruka returned the hug and answered Naruto's question. "I got a job to teach here."
Naruto was ecstatic. The person he considered as an older brother was here. He hadn't see Iruka in five years, living on opposites side of the town, but had written every week to each other. "Really! Wow that's great," said Naruto, "What class? Is Kakashi here? Can we go for ramen after school?" He began to shot out questions faster then Iruka could answer them. "Calm down Naruto," said Iruka. "I'm teaching English and yes, Kakashi is here too."
"Cool! Elementary, Junior High, or High level of English? And what is Kakashi teaching," asked Naruto, getting more and more excited.
"All three and Kakashi is teaching math," answered Iruka. He smiled. He had nearly forgotten Naruto's antics were like.
"Really?! Wha—"started Naruto before he was interrupted.
"As much as I hate to break this touching little reunion, but we're going to be late," said Seika, feeling slightly left out.
Naruto check the time on his watch. Seika spoke the truth. They had one minute to get to class and they were still too far to make in time. "Wha!!! See you later Iruka! Gotta go!" Before Naruto and Seika could even more, the bell went off.
BRRRRRRRRRINNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seika twitched. She was never late to class. 'Damnit Naruto,' she thought, 'Of all the days you had to pull a prank on me, it had to be today and it had to the alarm clock prank [1]too on top of that.' She ran a hand through her white bangs, well that just shot down her prefect attendance record for the year. It was almost the end of the school year too. Oh well.
~*~Meanwhile~*~
Two pairs of black eyes watch the classroom door in two different rooms, waiting as students took their seats. One was in English, watching the door for a certain classmate as the other across campus in math class watching the door. Their thoughts happen coincide at the same time as they both thought, 'Where on earth is he/she?'

"This is wonderful," mumbled Seika. It had dawn on her that she was now looking at severing detention for coming to class without a pass. Her day wasn't looking all too good. Down another hallway, Asuma decided to walk around the corner. He was headed towards his classroom when he saw orange. There was only one kid on the whole entire campus that wore just that bright, noticeable color, Uzumaki Naruto. "Now what on earth is he doing in the hallways? He's supposed to be in class. My class to be precise," he said. Asuma headed towards his student only to come across two more familiar faces. The first he recognized immediately, Umino Iruka.
"Iruka what are you doing here," asked Asuma. He knew Iruka being one of Kakashi's old friends. He looked at Naruto. "And why aren't you in class."
"Sorry Asuma sensei," started Naruto.
"But I held them up," said Iruka. In away it was true. If he didn't run into Naruto and kept him and his friend (Iruka wondered who the girl was) from getting to class.
"Well since it is you and Naruto is my student. I guess that I let this slide," said Asuma. "But that only solve one problem." He looked at the third member present. He didn't recognized her at first but the face was familiar. She was probably one of her former students. Then the name appeared and matched itself with the face. "Usuyuki. Usuyuki Seika right," he said.
Seika nodded. "I'm glad you remember me, Asuma-sensei."
"Yup the top student of your grade during the time, except for Uchiha Itachi that was," said Asuma. Seika's smile became slightly strain. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the high school area? If I remember right, you were never late unless you had a pass."
Iruka sigh. "I'm afraid that was also my fault."
Asuma's eyebrow rose. "Well, just tell your teacher, that you were helping me with something and couldn't make to class in time. If the teacher needs clearance with that, then have them come to me. What is your next class anyway? And who's the teacher?"
"English and..." Seika trailed off. She stared, almost gapping at Iruka. "And what," asked Asuma. She pointed to Iruka. "He's my new teacher," she finished weakly.
Asuma turned to Iruka and swung his arm around the smaller teacher's neck. "Well you finally did it. You're a teacher! Let me guess, Kakashi somewhere in this school too." Iruka nodded. "Wait Iruka-sensei you know Asuma- sensei," asked Naruto. Iruka nodded again.
"Well let's get to class, Naruto. Seika show your new teacher to class and I'll catch you later, Iruka," said Asuma. He handed Naruto a pack of paper. "Here, kid make yourself useful." Naruto glared at him but took the papers anyways.

Naruto got to math with little trouble. It wasn't long before Asuma started his long lesson. Naruto took his seat, second riser, and second seat from the window, also which happened to be next to Sasuke who had the seat window. "Where were you," Sasuke asked, when Asuma sensei wasn't looking. There was a small hint of worry in his soft voice.
"There's a new English teacher. I knew him before I came to this school. I sorta ran into him this morning. I also left my house late," answered Naruto.
Sasuke nodded, understanding Naruto's words and returned his attention to the board. Asuma would have caught them talking if they hadn't stop that moment, for right then Asuma turned and faced the class. Naruto smiled and began to copy down the notes. This was the first time in a long time that Naruto had been happy to be in math class.

Area: High School Area
Class/Location: English
Teacher: Iruka-sensei
Time: Around 8 o-clock
Date: Monday, March 17
Characters: Seika and a certain classmate of hers.
---------
Seika absentmindedly tapped her pen against the desk creating a soft, tap- tap sound. Her desk was located in the front of the classroom, right next to the window and in front of Iruka-sensei's desk. Her mind drifted to the thoughts of wondering why she had signed up for English when she spoke fluently in the language. 'Oh that's right that school require three consistence years of a language with English the only class available for the 3 years I've been here. The other languages class were stilled filled,' she thought to herself. 'Maybe next year I get another language class.'
Suddenly a folded up piece of paper in the shape of a triangle landed on her desk. Blinking, she picked it up. In black ink with the same neat handwriting from her gift's note, it read: ~Why were you late?~ There wasn't any signature but Seika knew whom it was from. Her classmate sitting behind her. As happy as she was for receiving the gift, it was strange that this classmate of hers started sent notes to her. They barely knew of each other existence a month ago. Wait scratch that. They knew of each others existence but either refuse to or didn't want acknowledge one another. Clicking her blue ballpoint pen, she wrote down: ~That none of your business.~
Unclicking her pen, Seika folded the note back up. Pretending to stretch, she lean back and placed it on the desk behind her. Then she prop up her elbow on the desk and rested her head on her hand, her attention return to Iruka-sensei's lecture.
A few minutes later, something bounced off her head and landed on her desk. Another note. Resisting the urge to turn around and full out glare at the person (it wouldn't have much affect though), Seika opened the note. Below her answer it said: ~I'm making it my business. By the way nice necklace.~ Rolling her sapphire eyes, she clicked open her pen again and wrote. ~You're not my mother. So I don't have to tell you. And you should know about the necklace. You're the one who gave it to me.~
This time when she returned the note, she flickered it back. Placing the note in her hand and then chancing her position so that her head was now leaning on her arm, her neck curled around her hand and that she was looking out the window, she used the glass of the window to predict the position of the head and fired. She watched with slight amusement as the reflection of the window revealed that her note hit it's mark. The forehead of her classmate.
Thus began the small note war in English class.

Area: Junior High Area
Class/Location: Lunch/Rooftop
Time: Around 12 : 09
Date: Monday, March 17
Characters: Naruto and Sasuke
------------
Naruto laid on the rooftop of school. It was lunchtime. That would mean a whole hour to himself and Sasuke, which only left about 50 minutes since nearly 10 minutes have passed. Unfortunately, the blond hair boy couldn't find head or hair of his boyfriend. Naruto figure that Sasuke was eating lunch and wanted sometime to be alone. After years of watching the child prodigy, Naruto knew how much Sasuke valued his solitariness.
Ahh. The sun felt so good, so warm. This was Naruto's special spot. He came here everyday to eat lunch and relax during the breaks. Something when he was waiting for Seika to pick him up so they could go home together, he would wait up here. Since no one came up here, during recess and lunch Naruto had the rooftop to himself. Mainly because all the student were hanging out with their friends.
Naruto for one reason or another, was the loser of the school. It may have to do with his endless pranks and loud voice or the whiskers on his face, but it didn't change the fact that he was the loser of the school and lowest on the social rank. Because he was labeled as the loser of the school, he didn't have any friends in school. But Naruto didn't mind, not really. He had Seika, Iruka and Kakashi as friends even though they were much older then him. And now he had Sasuke too. That was all that matter. Now if he could only find Sasuke.
Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around him pulling him into someone's grip. Naruto was startle but calm down. It was Sasuke. Smiling at his boyfriend, Naruto said, "I didn't hear you come up. How didja you know I was up here?"
Sasuke gave him one of his soft, rare smiles. "I told you dobe, I've watched you for years. More then you've ever watched me and not to mention all more careful then you too. I knew you come up here everyday and I see way. It's really nice up here." Naruto pouted at the term of 'dobe' but knew it was only an affection pet name.
"So what was that about a new English teacher and you knowing him," asked Sasuke bring up their previous conversation from this morning.
"Oh," said Naruto. "He's someone I consider an older brother. I knew him before I came to this school. He was in college at the time. His name is Iruka."
Sasuke eyebrow rose. He hadn't gone to English yet so he hadn't met this knew teacher yet. Naruto didn't stop there though. "Aa, and his boyfriend is also supposed to be working here. Kakashi is a math teacher, so he's probably teaching high school math or elementary since Asuma sensei was here today," said Naruto.
"Aa," said Sasuke. Two new teachers? How strange.

Characters: Ino, Sakura, Shikamaru, and Lee
-------------
"INO PIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The blond hair girl turned sharply at the sound of the insult to her name. Right on cue, storming down the hallway, came her rival and former best friend, Haruno Sakura. To the pink hair girl was furious was understand met. But the reason to her rival's anger, puzzled Ino. If it was about Sasuke, then Ino was innocent. She had spent the pass 20 minutes trying to find the dark hair angel.
"Where have you hidden Sasuke-kun," demanded Sakura. She too had spent the last 20 minutes trying to locate the lone wolf of school. Rumor had it, that he was just seen by on of his fan groups girls at the beginning of lunch but seem to disappear right after that. No one had seen the Uchiha for the pass 10 minutes and Sakura had search the school from top to bottom. (Though it never dawn on her to look at the *very* top of the building. Some class genius.)
"I haven't done anything to Sasuke-kun," Ino shot back, glaring at the pink hair girl. "I've been trying to find Sasuke-kun for the pass 20 minutes. Ask Shikamaru. He's been with me that whole time," defend Ino, pointing to the black hair boy beside her.
Sakura glared at her rival before looking at her classmate before looking at her lazy yet a genius, classmate. Shikamaru. The black boy nodded tiredly. The antics of these girls these days. Will it ever stop? Shikamaru wouldn't be surprised if Sasuke decided to settle down with a guy instead of a girl. What he saw next nearly made him burst out in laughter.
Sakura was all starry/teary eyed looking up the ceiling, hands clasped together as if she was praying. Shikamaru could almost hear the words, 'Oh where oh where is my Sasuke-kun' coming out of her mouth. As cold hearted as that bastard was, Shikamaru couldn't help but feel sorry for that guy. And to think he had to deal with this every single day. Yup at the moment, there wasn't anyone else Shikamaru felt more sorry for.
Then at that moment, both girls glared at each before stomping off down different hallways even more determined to find their "Sasuke-kun". Seconds later a boy in a green outfit came running down the hallways after Sakura. He had thick eyebrows and a bowl cut hairdo. Shikamaru sweatdrop. "Sakura- chan!!! Wait for me," called out the boy. His name was Rock Lee. He was in love with the Sakura.
Soon Lee disappeared around the same corner as Sakura. Everyone was gone, leaving Shikamaru by himself. He let out a sigh. "How bothersome," he said.

------------------
Iruka tapped a stack of papers against the desk. He thought his first day as a teacher when find. With the exception of a few troublemakers, Iruka thought he handled the class well. He felt piece of fabric against his forehead as an indirect kiss was place there. Iruka found himself looking at the black eyes (is it me or does have of the Naruto cast have black eyes or I'm I misinform) of his own lover, Hatake Kakashi.
"Hello, Kakashi," said Iruka with a smile.
Kakashi sat himself down in a nearby chair. "Hard at work already I see," he mused, indicating to the large stack of papers on Iruka's desk. Iruka nodded. Despite the fact that it was his first day as a teacher, he had no problem picking up from the last lesson. Surprisingly he didn't have any problems with the students. No pranks on the new teachers had been pulled yet and Iruka didn't know whether he should be relieved or to start watching his back.
"So how your class going," asked Iruka. He placed his red pen down. "Just fine," said Kakashi. "The kids are such a bore though." Iruka sweatdrop a bit. Only Kakashi would think of that. "So have you seen Naruto yet," asked Iruka.
Kakashi shook his head. "No but knowing him, I'll stumble onto him soon," he said. "So have you met this Uchiha kid everyone keeps talking about?" Iruka shook his head.
"He's in my next class. What about his brother," asked Iruka. When they signed up for this job, the lady behind the desk couldn't stop talking about to the Uchihas. Both Iruka and Kakashi had heard of the wealthy family. The decease parents were have said to been poison though both siblings still lived and attended this school. The younger of the sibling was the star student of the junior high area and genius to the boot. The older brother was supposed to star student of the high school area, a genius as well, and the captain of the Martial Arts Club. Both Uchihas have made quite a name for themselves.
"Same here," said Kakashi. "I look forward to seeing whether they're as smart and as good as everyone says they are." Iruka smiled. Small talk immerged between the two, but not much, since both weren't good at small conversations. Neither of them had notice that the time was slowly, yet still rather quickly, ticked away.

Characters: Seika and that certain classmate of hers.
-----------------
Seika was pissed. Well it could just be that she was paranoid. But the nagging feeling that someone was watching her wouldn't disappeared. Every time she looked around the feeling disappeared. But old habits are hard to die and Seika KNEW someone was out there. She just hadn't figure out WHERE. There was only one person who she had a hard time finding. It was HIM again. Seika didn't understand. She had never talked to him before, not that she talks to people and except for the one time, she completely ignored the guy. SO WHY ON EARTH WAS HE STALKING HER?!?! Okay stalking maybe a strong word, but why on earth was he watching her?! (Seika: I'm here for humor and comic relief aren't I? Seito: ^^;;) She was just trying to eat her lunch. That was it. What did she do to deserve this?
There!
Seika immediately threw her chopsticks to her right. A soft 'thud' indicated that she had hit her mark. Out from the trees came HIM. Seika sent him one of her fierce glares, but it had no affect since he often glared at other people as well. "Damn you throw hard," he muttered, rubbing his cheek and tossing back her chopsticks. Seika caught them with ease, twirling them around her fingers before setting them down but didn't let up on her glare.
"Why are you stalking me," she demanded. Her normally soft voice, was hard. The words almost came hissing out.
"I don't call it stalking," he answered.
"Then watching me, whatever. Why are you bothering me," said Seika.
"I wouldn't call it bothering it either. I'm surprised that you sense me though. Not many people can. How did you do it," he asked, completely brushing away her question.
"What do you want," asked Seika. She crossed her arms over her chest and waited for answer.
He didn't answer. "Um... to get to know you better," he said. That came out more of a question then a statement. Seika began to twitch. First off she was a loner. She didn't have friends nor was she supposed to, hence the title LONE-r. Second she almost practically hated this guy (Seito: It's really a crush. Seika in denial. Seika: IT ISN'T A CRUSH!! Seito: You're blushing.) Third the nerve of this guy. He just suddenly wants to become friends with her. Does he have any idea what that would do to his reputation and her health and sake of mind?!?! Needing to blow some steam, she punched the poor guy in the tree nearby, picked up her bag, and storm off around the corner.
Moments later, footsteps greeted her ears. HIS footsteps. It was bad enough the guy was in all of her class, but now he's following her around too! Somewhere in her mind the thought of how he got up so fast appeared in her mind. 'That punch would have knocked out anyone. Why is he up? Oh that's right. He's a martial artist too. He probably block my punch. Not to mention my punch has weaken over the years,' she thought. A small hint of worry and guilt shadowed over her heart and she wonder slightly if she had hurt him. Probably not. He's still walking.
"Hey!"
Seika snapped around. "What?!"
To anyone who didn't know who the two were it would see like a typical boyfriend-girlfriend scenario where boyfriend did something and now the girlfriend was beyond mad. But to classmates, they're probably wondering how two people on near opposite ends of the social ladder knew each other.

"I guess we have to get to class," mutter Sasuke. Naruto nodded numbly not really wanting to leave. He wanted to stay up here with Sasuke. But all good things must come to end and this sweet moment will have to be continued later. Sasuke placed a light kiss on Naruto's head and then stood up. Naruto was about to the same when he found himself being offered a hand. Naruto looked up.
Sasuke with that soft smile of his, offered his hand to help Naruto off the ground. "Here dobe," he teasingly. Naruto stuck his tongue out at him but took his boyfriend hand.
Moments later they were outside their English classroom. Just around the corner wisps of silver hair disappearing around the corner. Upon walking in, they found their new teacher blushing like tomato. Sasuke's eyebrow rose in question but Naruto grin realizing whose silver hair he just saw was.
"Hey Iruka-sensei. Maybe you and Kakashi should get a room eh," said Naruto. Iruka suddenly became aware that he was no longer the only one in this room. "Huh? Oh konnichiwa Naruto," said Iruka. When Naruto's words finally stunk in, Iruka blushed even harder. But his sharp eyes didn't miss the how close Naruto was standing next to the boy. Iruka was sure they were holding hands, but wasn't too sure, the hands were blocked from view by his desk.
"Who's this," asked Iruka. He was talking about Sasuke. "Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke," said Sasuke. Iruka nodded.
"So you're the Uchiha kid I've hear so much about. Nice to met you. I'm Iruka-sensei," said Iruka. So this was Sasuke. Sasuke nodded. Right after Naruto and Sasuke took their seats, right next to each other, the rest of the class slowly filter into the classroom.

"Okay class. We have a project," announced Iruka. Over half the class immediate groan. "It will done in groups of two. You are to find are write and draw a children reading book in English. You will be graded on content, proper grammar and sentence structure, fluently, and artistic touch. Reframe from swearing in the book since this is a children book. So it should be something you little brother or sister or cousin should be able to read." All the girls perked up at the words "groups of two". All began to chat, hoping they would be paired up with their beloved "Sasuke-kun".
Naruto was also praying. He was praying that he would be paired up with Sasuke. Naruto was sure Sasuke was the only person in this class, that Naruto could work without problems. Sasuke was thinking alone the same lines. 'If I'm paired up with a stupid girl from my fan club,' Sasuke thought, 'I am going to demand that I paired up with someone else or just do it by myself. Then again if my partner is a girl from my fan club I probably wouldn't be able to anything anyways. Kami-sama pair me up with Naruto.'
"The story will have to be about an inanimate object and at least 10 pages long," continue Iruka as he read off the requirements for this project. You will have 2 weeks to finish this project. You may also ask help from anyone. So yes feel free to ask the kids from high school area." He then shut the book and looked around the class. Iruka sweatdrop at the fact the half the class wasn't listening to him. Strangely Naruto was paying attention and sent an almost pleading look at him. Iruka had a feeling it may have to do with the fact that Naruto want to be paired up with someone smart. Almost as sensing his thought, Naruto shook his head and shot a glance at Sasuke. 'He wants to be paired up with Sasuke,' thought Iruka. 'I have a feeling they're hiding something.' Though Sasuke didn't show it as much as Naruto, Iruka could also tell that Sasuke was pleading along the same time but was more so distress at the fact of being paired up with a girl. Iruka's eyebrow rose. How interesting. He looked the note the last teacher left behind. Yes very interesting...
Clearing his throat to get the class attention, Iruka began, "Okay then the partners are...."

[1] Alarm clock prank. Naruto unplugged Seika's alarm clock so she didn't wake up on time.
[2] Lyrics came from www.animelyrics.com and translations. It says and I quote, "Mayowanai" does literally mean "won't get lost," but it is also used to mean "won't stray" or "won't betray," or "won't have doubts." End Quote
YAY! Kakashi and Iruka fluff. They're my next favorite pairing next to Sasunaru. Don't ask why. They just are. Um... don't mind me. I'm rambling here.
Um... okay. There are a lot of things I must first bring to everyone's attention. I can only write fluff. I'm not going to go describing the relationship at the most you'll get "hugs and kisses" but don't expect too much of depth of the relationship. In others words I'm keeping this around the 'G' or 'PG' level. I'll say kiss but don't expect to see description of what the tongue is doing. Use you're imagination for that part.
Second is that there is a high chance that Seika will be paired off with someone or at the very least become very close to someone. So yes there is a possibility of an OC/Naruto character paring. (Seika: I think you just lost all your reviewers. Seito: Then that gives me an excuse to end the story. Seika: I don't think they want to end even if they don't want me to be paired up with someone. Seito: **glare**)
Third. I'm trying to make it so Seika isn't a Mary-Sue. Hence why I'm tormenting her so. Please understand that. I'm trying really hard to make sure she doesn't end up like a Mary-Sue. I really am. If I ever get around to it, I'll post a small profile on Seika. (Seito: Didja know she terrified of turtles. Childhood fear. **snicker** Seika: **glare** no need to tell them that. Seito: She's allergic to daisies too. Seika: You're asking for it. Seito: Hasn't practice martial artist in over 5 years. Seika: Seito... Seito: ^^;;) I'll also add in the Naruto characters. You see how it's different (or not) from the manga/anime. Since this is an alternate universe and modern times, something are different. Like Itachi didn't go on a killing spree and killed his parents but they're still death. Sasuke isn't after his brother blood but rather has a small sibling rivalry going in between and not to mention his soft side that Sasuke only shows to Naruto. Yeah, small things like that. I still try and keep them IC. Oh everyone right now is about the same age as they are in the manga. Though I may have changed a few to make it fit. Like Iruka and Kakashi maybe a year or two older then they are in the show. Or maybe the characters will be younger (the five sound nin, Orochimaru's goonies men and one girl, are around the high age [17-18] so if they're older then that, well yeah they're now younger.)
Forth. I change the title. If anyone's curious it's supposed to mean, "Prayer under the Flower Framework" I could be wrong though. Please correct me if I am. Also the title of the chapter, the first part is the title of the song featured in the chapter. The second half is what this chapter title is. So this chapter is Catch You, Catch Me, First Day of School. The title of the song is 'Catch You, Catch Me' from Cardcaptors Sakura. The title of the chapter is 'First Day of School'. Get it? So for the first two chapter the song is 'Notice Me' and the chapter titles follow after that. I hope I'm not confusing anyone.
Five just a note to see if someone figure it out yet. Anyone know who Seika's classmate is? Here's the clues can be found in the story.
Black Eyes
Martial Artist
Neat Handwriting
Attends the High School Area (so that means he's around Seika's age)
A Boy
Is the same person that gave Seika the necklace
Tell me who you think it is k? I'm just curious to see if anyone figure it out. I think may have missed a few clues so you can go back to the other two chapters and try and find more in this one and the other two. Forgive all spelling and grammar mistakes please. Other then that. I guess...
Review!
