"Good morning Sasuke-kun. Are you okay? You don't look like you slept very well last night." Sakura said as she saw Sasuke walking up to the school.
Sasuke yawned. "I didn't sleep. I was up all night studying for the stupid test. You guys are lucky. I have to perform my Sharingan as well as answer questions on kekkei genkai. And what do we have first?"
"Sword class," Naruto said, "and we better hurry up or we're going to be late. We've already been late to class five times this month."
Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto hurried up into class. Class started the moment they walked in. "You three are extremely lucky," the sensei said, "you were almost late again. Take you're seats." They hurried to they're seats and sat down.
"Now class, we have a new student today. She transferred here from Kiri. Akirah, please come in and find a seat." Akirah hurried in and sat down in the only available seat, the one right next to Sasuke.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Sasuke hissed at her.
"What does it look like? I'm stuck going to fucking class. I just moved here yesterday. Give me a break." Akirah hissed back.
"Why did you move here from Kiri anyways? Konoha and Kiri don't exactly like each other. How'd you get in here anyway? Did you get special permission from Hokage?"
"Akirah, Sasuke, stop talking. Since you two weren't paying attention, you get to demonstrate how to do a basic fight with normal swords." The sensei said.
Akirah and Sasuke walked to the front of the room and grabbed there weapons. "The fight is just to one point. And Sasuke, please go easy on her. People in Kiri are trained to use much larger swords than these. Now, begin."
The fight was over before it looked like anyone moved. Sasuke had a cut across his face that was slowly dripping blood and Akirah's sword was bloody. She lifted her sword to her mouth and licked off the blood. Most of the class groaned and a few girls screamed. She smiled and wiped the rest of the blood off with a rag.
"Miss, where in hell you learn to move like that? And may I ask what rank you were back in Kiri? And did you just lick the blood off the sword?" The sensei asked.
Akirah placed her sword back with all of the others. "At one of my foster homes. And I was a Jonin." The bell rang signaling the end of class. Everyone left the room and went to there next class.
The next class for Sasuke was the one he had been dreading. He walked in and took his normal seat between Neji and Shikamaru.
"So, what were you and the new girl talking about? Do you finally have a girlfriend after all of these years? Other than the annoying bitch that stalks you? Oh wait; you hate Sakura, never mind. But do you like the new girl was my question?" Shikamaru said.
"Shut up!"
Shikamaru continued to tease Sasuke. "How do you feel about her kicking your ass with the swords? She doesn't know how bad you suck, she's not a stalker, she's obviously not squeamish, she's strong, and she's a total babe. You're one lucky guy."
"I said shut up!"
"How about both of you shut up? I'm your substitute teacher today so you better listen." Jiraya walked into the room looking extremely pissed. "You have a test today so you better have studied. And there's a new student. Sucks to be you kid. Stand up and introduce yourself."
Akirah didn't stand up, but yelled from her seat. "My name's Akirah, I'm fifteen, a Jonin, and ya'll better leave me the fuck alone. Got it?"
"That's not very nice. You have three hours for the test and are free to go when you finish. But first, everyone with a kekkei genkai should come to the front of the room and show it to us."
Sasuke, Neji, and Akirah walked up. Sasuke and Neji showed they're ones and sat back down. Then Akirah said, "I won't show you mine because I don't want to." and sat down as well.
Sasuke and Naruto finished the test around the same time. They walked out of the school talking together. As they were walking to the building where they get there missions, Sasuke looked up at the trees. He saw Akirah sitting in one of the trees with another kid. Sasuke thought he recognized the boy that was with Akirah, but he couldn't tell. "Hey Naruto, do we know a boy with long black hair that looks a bit like a girl?"
"Yeah, I think." He answered. "There was this one guy about three years ago that looked like that. Why are you asking me this anyway?"
"What's his name and where did we meet him. And exactly how long ago was it. Tell me Naruto!"
"You can start by getting rid of the Sharingan and I'll tell you when we finish our missions for the day."
Sasuke removed his Sharingan and looked back up at Akirah and the boy. The boy was no longer there.
"How was your first day at school? Was it a pain in the ass like you said it would be this morning or was it possibly okay?"
"Of course it was a pain in the ass. And the people in Konoha know nothing of swords. Just looking at Itachi, you think they would know a lot."
"Speaking of swords, you have a lesson today with Zabuza-san. Don't be late this time"
"Shit. I don't want to go. But whatever, I'll go. I don't want to get on his bad side."
"By the way, how is Itachi? It's been three years last saw him?"
"He's fine. And before you ask Orochimaru and Kabuto are fine as well. And Kisame too if you give a shit about sharky. "
"It's not my fault I'm a, you know. You can blame Kakashi for that. If I had a choice, I wouldn't be like this."
"I know and I do blame Kakashi, trust me. And do you realize that Sasuke has been watching us? I think he is too dense to realize simple stuff. Or to just ask us what the hell is going on with him. I don't think he's even realized it yet"
"I though Sasuke was suppose to be smart. He's not acting like it."
"He stopped using the Sharingan because Naruto told him to. That mother fucking idiot. And now he doesn't know why he can't see you anymore. Again, he's an idiot. Any normal person should be able to figure that out. Even the biggest idiot of them all, Naruto, should be able to figure it out."
