Chapter 5- Many Meetings

Chiyo surveyed the room with an uninterested eye. The students glanced at her. Boys' stares were riveted on her figure; she didn't have to be a genius to know that. However, there were three students that immediately caught her attention. One had pearl-white eyes and long black pair tied back neatly. The second one had bright blonde hair and cerulean blue eyes. Three lines on each cheek stood out clearly against tan skin. But the last one…her eyes narrowed at him and he glared right back. Pale skin with black spiky hair. Piercing onyx eyes and an intense glare.

Hyuuga, Uzumaki…and Uchiha. She vaguely heard the teacher telling her to sit anywhere she liked. Chiyo had to admit, she almost burst out in hysterical; laughter when she saw who the teacher was. Hatake Kakashi! Him, out of all people! Honestly Itachi, can you not do any better? And now I'm going to be right under your nose…literally. She sat down in a vacant seat next to a girl with short blue-black hair and a pupil-less white gaze. On her right sat a girl with friendly brown eyes. Her pink vest looked oriental and her brown hair was tied up in two Chinese buns.

"The name's Tenten. Nice to meet you." She gave Chiyo a warm smile.

"H-hi. I-I'm Hin-Hinata." The girl with white eyes said timidly.

Chiyo smiled gently. "Chiyo." She identified herself softly. "I just moved here and I've switched schools at least five times since grade eight. Do you think you could show me around?"

The two others agreed without trouble. Chiyo took the chance to study her classmates. A girl with short, bubble-gum pink hair glared at her. She wore a striped halter top and a skirt that rose up above mid-thigh. Cheerleader. Was the thought that crossed her mind. Another girl with long blonde hair was dressed exactly the same way. Blonde prep. Chiyo thought. Both were glaring venomously at her and she in turn gave both a clear, black, and emotionless stare, but cold nonetheless.

"Oh, please, don't look over there." Hinata whispered. "You have to be careful around them. They are the most popular girls in school and very dangerous."

"They might try to give you trouble because you are new." Tenten warned. "The girl with pink hair is Haruno Sakura. She is co-captain of the cheerleading team and a very…well, bitchy prep. The blonde is Yamanaka Ino. She is head cheerleader and president of Uchiha Sasuke's fanclub. Stay away from those two."

Chiyo remained silent. What can they do? Scratch me with their perfect French manicured nails? She laughed lightly in spite of herself at the ridiculous thought. The pink-haired girl, Sakura, seemed to seethe with anger…for some strange reason.

There was a boy dressed in forest green spandex with a strange haircut. He gave Chiyo a huge smile and his large eyebrows jumped around wildly. "Have you ladies seen my beloved cherry blossom, my Sakura-chan?" Hinata smiled and pointed over his shoulder. He said a thanks and dashed away.

Hinata waved after him and laughed softly. "That was Rock Lee," she explained. "He's very nice but always seems to be chasing after Sakura-chan. I don't know what he sees in her. After all, like most of the female population, she is after Uchiha Sasuke."

Tenten pointed to a boy with brown hair pulled up in a short ponytail. Gold rings hung from his ears. His head was down on his desk and he emitted loud snores. "Nara Shikamaru. Incredibly lazy yet with the highest IQ in the school, I should say. He loves to cloud watch and…sleep."

"And what of the teacher?" Chiyo inquired with an outward spark of curiosity. Inwardly, she laughed at the great investigator. Hatake Kakashi, in all your years, have you ever tried to go undercover at a high school? Ha! What a joke.

"He's new here, we don't know much about him," Hinata stated in her small voice, forehead creased in thought. "He wouldn't tell us anything about himself either, only his name…I think it was…Kakashi. Yes, that was it. Kakashi-sensei."

Tenten tilted her head back. "And two rows behind us are three of the four most popular boys in the whole school. They are part of the banc 'Tainted Souls.' They released their first song this past summer. Hyuuga Neji, Uzumaki Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke. The fourth band member is Sabaku Gaara but he's not in this class, thank goodness."

Chiyo raise both eyebrows, prompting the other girl to go on. "Uzumaki Naruto is the class clown and number one loudmouth in the entire school." Hinata blushed bright red at Tenten's statement. "Hyuuga Neji is a member of the branch house of the Hyuuga clan. He's a senior and supposed to be Hinata's bodyguard, but he is truly terrifying." Hinata suppressed s shiver and Chiyo tapped her foot soundlessly against the grey floor. Yes, I know all this, tell me about Uchiha Sasuke. "Sabaku Gaara is…there are absolutely no words to describe him. Just…avoid contact with him if you want to graduate."

Two rows back, Naruto, Neji, and Sasuke listened, somewhat amused at such glowing descriptions of themselves. They had to strain their ears a little. Kakashi too, found himself listening in on the girl's conversation. That was, after all, why he was there. He smiled and turned another page in his book without looking at it. Instead, his eyes were focused on the trio of girls.

"And what of Uchiha Sasuke?" Chiyo asked coolly.

Hinata leaned forward and dropped her voice to below a whisper. "If there ever was someone who dominated the school, it would be Uchiha-san. Everyone treats him with the up most respect; teachers and students alike. If he did something wrong, no one could make him acknowledge his consequences, not even Tsuande-sama. But he is respectable and responsible for his actions. I admire him because of that. I respect him, which is why I wouldn't go chasing after him even if I wanted to."

Chiyo pursed her lips in thought. She tilted her head forward so her hair spread out around her face, shrouding her eyes. Under the desk, out of sight, she made several seals single handedly. When she opened her eyes, they were blood red with three commas arranged in a circle. Veins spread out around the edge and her eyes seemed to glow white. Quickly, she scanned the room.

Neji jerked in shock. Naruto fell out of his chair and Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise. Kakashi's eye narrowed. With lightning speed, Neji made several hand seals, not even bothering to conceal his actions. His eyes glowed pure white and veins spread out around them. He was silent for a second and then deactivated his bloodline limit.

"Well?" Naruto asked in all seriousness. Kakashi nonchalantly walked over to the three boys. On his way, he passed Chiyo and was amazed at the amount of charka he felt around her. Sasuke leaned forward. Neji shook his head slowly.

"Nothing?" Kakashi flinched slightly at Naruto's loud voice and proceeded to smacking him discreetly across the back of the head. Sasuke rolled his eyes and his mouth slightly turned down at the corners.

"Did any of you sense the HUGE amount of charka she was using!"

"Shut up, dobe," Sasuke growled. "Or keep your voice down. You know only you can sense charka that way. I could swear that the hand seals she preformed were of the byakugan."

"She was most definitely activating the Byakugan." Neji put in. "But I saw nothing. Her eyes were merely closed and her charka was distributed evenly in her body. None was solely concentrated at her eyes."

"I say we keep an extra eye on our new girl here," Kakashi said quietly.
