Chapter 5
He watches as his younger sister picks through sets of metal weapons. He can't help but grin at the look on his sister's face. That serious look really didn't suit her. He then hears Ruby talking to a group of her friends. He watches as they pass by the shop, still not seeing him or his sister.
Finally he sees Yue trailing behind them and he reaches out and pulls the white haired kid into the shop. Yue eyes flash dangerously until Yue finds himself looking into his face. Yue smiles a bit and says, "Hey." "Hey yourself, Yue. Bored?" He says, letting his smile grow. Yue sighs and asks, "So, what are you doing here?" He motions to his little sister. "O" Was all Yue would say. He snorts, Yue hasn't changed much since the time they got that scroll. They have grown up and have learnt more jutsus and have more control over their chakra.
He also could handle more of Blood Trail's chakra as well. He has learnt more about how to connect up to this planes chakra's reserves. All demons that cross over into this plane of existence take most of their start up chakra from that reserve, and then they are cut off. Since he was human, he could connect up to this reserve for as long as he wishes, but it's tiring to do so. So he mostly uses his own chakra or if the training calls for it, he uses some of Blood Trail's chakra. Demons doesn't have jutsus like humans, they mostly really good at chakra control and use it to make what they want happen.
His sister then notices Yue and waves to her. "Hey Yue! It's my birthday today!" Jeri says in a cheerful voice. Yue blinks and waves back to Jeri. "Then happy birthday Jeri." Yue says softly. He just rolls his eyes, Yue could be so shy at moments it could be so unbelievable. Terish and him had been working with Yue to change that, but it's slow going. That night so long ago had made them friends.
Soon he checks the time and finds it a bit after. "Time to go, Jeri. Nice to see you at class tomorrow, Yue." He says as he takes Jeri's left hand and walks out the door. "Bye Koichi, you too Jeri." Yue says. "Bye Yue!" Jeri says. They watch as Yue then heads to where his twin sister and her friends were walking.
It takes them twenty-four minutes to get home. He lets Jeri walk head of him. He watches as Jeri then opens the door and walks into the house. He then hears, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERI!" He then comes up from behind and guides her into the house. Jeri's really stunned at how many people were at her party. Then Gai comes into the room from the kitchen.
"My favorite girl is now a full year older! I've come to celebrate and I bring three scrolls on fire jutsus!" Gai says as he poses some more. Everyone had long since gotten use to this. He just rolls his eyes and finds a spot to sit.
Jeri's friends were here and they were crowding around Gai to listen to his stories. He looks over at his great granddad and his uncle Tori. Uncle Tori is his dad's younger brother. Either his dad's or mom's parents were alive. Tori wasn't married either, so Jeri and him didn't have any cousins.
This day was for his sister; he didn't want to ruin it. So he decided check to see if Blood Trail, only to find him sleeping. He then decided to speak with his dad about which weapons that Jeri had been looking at.

He watches as the gates to Leaf come into view. He then turns to look to his right to see Terish's reaction to this place. They have been traveling for five days and they were soon going to be in hidden Leaf soon. They made it all this way by using a mass teleportation jutsu that Gai set up.
Nine kids were asked to spend a year in hidden Leaf. Terish, Yue, and him were chosen out of his age group to go to Leaf. The six others were already rookies and were with their teachers. The rookies were also wearing some headband with the symbol of a feather on it. It was the one that the council of elders voted on.
They would be going to the same school with kids their own age. They were going to have some lessons from the teachers of the rookies once a week. School for Leaf was going to start next week, which was the first week of September.
He looks over at where Gai was talking with Shiro and Yoko, the teachers of the rookies. He then turns his head a bit more and checks up on the others. Yue was talking with Cheza, what about he didn't know. He then turns his head to look at the gates.
He then hears Terish say, "I wonder how pale this people will be." He grins at this and says, "I wonder just how weak they are." Terish and him exchange glances and smirk. They were going to enjoy this.

He watches as other kids his age begin to file out of the room. Their test was going to be held tomorrow. It's been interesting taking classes with these northerners. He also found it funny how so many girls chase after that Sasuke.
He watches as Yue and Terish practice a game of chakra war by using a stick. The object of this was to see who could make the stick touch the person opposite of them. Not only do they need to push the stick, they have to make sure not to break the stick. So far, Yue was winning. He grins as this. They were more like high-level genin or low-level chunin then students. They even have more ranks then Light has. Like rookies were called genin and if his mom were here, she would rank as a Kage. His dad was what his village calls Dor'Sharp. It was like jonin but few jonin could match a Dor'Sharp, for in his village, they have teach chakra control sooner then Leaf and they were also more rounded in what jutsus they know and use. But then the enemies that they fight were very different then what this ninja fight.
He turns to watch the last kid walk out the door and he then begins to speak with Blood Trail. He still has much to learn and he also knows that the fox like to chat with someone. Most of the students won't become genin, for he remembers what Gai once told his little sister.
Soon he is traveling through his mind until he comes to a cave. He then walks into that cave and soon is standing in front of a huge gate. He waits for Blood Trail to acknowledge him. Soon he hears a snort and a pair of red eyes open. He watches as a huge head rises up as well. "About time you came, what kept you?" The great fox asks. "I didn't want anyone trying to bother me when I'm here. Yue and Terish know better then to try and talk to me when I'm like this. I didn't want out time together cut short because of some stupid kid wanting to talk to me." He tells the fox. He could see that he answered rightly, for Blood Trail didn't mention it again. "Better late then never I guess." The fox states in amused voice and he then waits for Blood Trail to continue.
After a few minutes the fox then continues. "You have your test tomorrow. We'll be reviewing everything you know right now." He nods at these and soon he is answering questions that Blood Trail asks.

They watch as the sun rises and he looks over at Koichi and Terish. They look like they were rechecking their stuff. He is just as nervous as they were, but didn't feel the need to recheck his short swords or his shield. He didn't know what to think right now. He was taking a test in a land far from where they grew up. He had notice the glares that Koichi got from the adults around here and didn't get how they blame Koichi for what Blood Trail did. But then again, this people could be so blind to the simple fact that things could be worst then what they were. Like having some other village declare open war on them at the worst possible moment.
He sighs and he really misses his twin sister Ruby. They might not get along as well as Koichi and Jeri, but she was his twin, a part of him. He did have to admit that he has grown use to not having her around. Or sharing his room with her or having to keep going through his cloths to make sure that everything of his was there.
He ran a hand through his white hair. His clan entire clan tends to have their hair go white as they get older, but his began to change when he was very young. They did have this bloodline that lets them turn beastly, it's rare ability. He has this ability, it actived when he was seven years old. His nails grew and became sharp. His eyes turned green and silted. Fur grew along his back and his child muscles raced with strength. He remembers how well his night vision had been and what he could smell and hear. He had been burning with energy and so free…
He closes his eyes as he thinks about it. He has seen Kiba and knew that what Kiba's clan jutsus were like, they couldn't match him as a Garou. He has long since learnt how to control the change and all that power. He might not be able to do certain jutsus as a Garou, but that's why there was family ones made for someone like him. His eyes remained green ever since his first change.
He opens his eyes to see Shiro walking toward them. Koichi and Terish stop looking at their metal daggers and wait for Shiro to speak. Shiro then addresses them. "Usually this test would be your first killing of an Oni, but since there are no Oni this far north, you'll combined with a team to pass a test. When their teachers test the new genin, you'll join one of cells and pass the jonin's test." The all blink at this and it was Terish that speaks for their group. "Did you guys get too lazy to come up with a test?" They watch as Shiro just sighs and scratches the back of his head. Meaning that they had, they look at each other and then all sigh as one. They got ready for nothing!

He watches as a group of girls all eye the spot to his right. One Sasuke sits to his right and on the other side of Sasuke was Yue. Some how, Sasuke managed to get to this seat when he was chatting with Blood Trail. He had a feeling that Yue might have pitied the poor guy too.
When a girl with pink hair came up to him to ask him to move, he just glared at the girl. The girl then just retreated away from him and he just shakes his head. He didn't get why they seem to decide to focus on Sasuke when they should be focusing on their training. He had a feeling that Jeri could take out the whole class without being totally exhausted. He just wants this over with.
Soon Iruka is in the room and everyone takes their seats. Soon Iruka begins to talk about how hard this next part of their training will be as genin. He just tones it out, for it didn't really mean anything to him. He knows what dangers him and his friends would be facing. Their year was almost up and they'll be facing Oni and other chakra-using beasts.
Soon Iruka begins to name that goes with what team. Terish went with Kiba, Hinata, and Shino. Then him with Sasuke, some girl named Sakura, and a kid by the name of Ganmaru. Yue with some girl named Ino, Sikamaru, and some fat guy.
Soon lunch comes around and he takes off. He eats with Terish and Yue then they just hang out for a bit before heading back to the classroom. He also begins to think about that Ganmaru kid.
Ganmaru is taller then most of the class with brown hair and brown eyes. Ganmaru is also older then him, Ganmaru is fourteen years old. He was hard pressed to list any jutsus that he remembers Ganmaru showing other then the basics.
Soon everyone leaves with their teacher, leaving that pink haired girl from this morning and the two other boys. He just watches as the girl tries to talk to Sasuke. Finally he decides to say something, "Why do you bug him? He doesn't want to talk to you and you can't make him. Just leave him be." He finds Sasuke look startled at him and the girl's jaw was hanging open. Ganmaru adds, "There's nothing wrong with just leaving him be, Sakura. Though, I am wondering why you're here, Koichi."
They all turn to him and he answers, "It's my test." From the looks of things they didn't get this so he adds, "You think it's just that easy to become genins? Your jonin teacher will be testing you to see if you'll actually become genins. I'm to take this test with you." It was then Sasuke that asks, "How do you know so much about this?" "I heard about it from one Gai Maito and from Shiro." He answers. This causes the others to look at each other, clearly at a lost on what to say or make of this.
