Seishun Kyousoukyoku
Chapter One
Silence, and then!

Tanshin. Meaning, Alone.

Alone.
adj.
1. Being apart from others; solitary.
2. Being without anyone or anything else; only.
3. Considered seperately from all others of the same class.
4. Being without equal; unique.

Alone, can mean many thing's and it can be writen, in many different ways. Lonely, lonesome, solitary, outcast. And, in many different languages. Tanshin, yksin, solus, seul and other's.

Alone is what people feel, when their surrounded by other's, screaming, but... noone even turns to face them, or even spare them a glance.

Alone, is exisiting, not living.

Alone, is one of the worst kind of feeling's you can have.

Alone, is like being un-needed, and evenworse.

Un-wanted.

'In life, if we are not wanted or needed. We only exsist, not live. In life, everything happen's for a reason. In life, destiny only choses what happen's, we deicde how long it lasts, or how good the outcome is.'

Hikaru had alway's known she wasn't orignally from Konoha, infact she knew she was from Kirigakure. Why she was in Konoha she hadn't a single clue. She had been told that she was found outside the gate's of Konoha as a small baby, not much older than a few month's. Of course, baby's just can't raise themselves, so the third decided to look after her. Which in some way's, make's her related to Konohamaru, but only by paper not by blood, she didn't exactly care though. He had looked after her since she was a kid, she really owed her life to him, and did class them as her family. Eventhough, she knew she was from Kirigakure no sato, originally.

Being the oldest in the class, by a year often had it's ups. She was the tallest, and she found it easier to learn some of the thing's. She had found she was natrually gifted at being a kunoichi, since she learnt most jutsu's upon seeing them once, the harder one's normaly twice. She was the most skilled in Taijutsu, and weapons fighting. Though her nin and gen jutsu weren't too unforutntate, she was just more of the hand-to-hand type.

"Tomorrow all of your classmates will pass the final and graduate from the ninja academy, but the last two times this day came around, you flunked every course you'd taken in the scret arts!" Iruka yelled to a tied up Naruto. "So you chose now for your stupid tricks? You moron!"

"Sir, yes sir," Naruto said with no emotion in his voice while giving Iruka a weird look.

It obviously made Iruka snap because- "Today in class we'll be reviewing the henge no jutsu!"

"WHAAAAAT!" The class groaned.

"All you have to do is conjure a form that looks like me!" Iruka yelled again pointing to the front of the class.

"Next up, Hikaru," Iruka said as Hikaru gave a small smile and walked forward.

"Henge!" She said as she transformed with no seal.

"Good," Iruka marked off as she transformed back. "Next Uzumaki."

"This is all your fault," one of the kid's standing next to him said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Naruto said with his hand's on his hip's as he walked to the front of the class. 'This sucks.' "Well.. here goes," he sighed as he fiddled with his goggle's, then made a seal. "Henge!"

After the smoke cleared there stood a female version of Naruto, only she was naked with smoke covering, the feminine part's. 'That's... discusting,' Hikaru thought as Iruka flew back with a giant nosebleed.

"HA!HA!HA!HA!" Naruto laughed. "I call this one the sexy no jutsu!"

"How big a fool are you!" Iruka yelled. "You waste all your time and talent inventing these stupid trick's!"

'Poor Naruto,' Hikaru thought, though she couldn't help but laugh slightly. '... He did ask for it though.'

"For your final exam you must each generate a bunshin," Iruka explained as he stood infront of the class with one hand behind his back, and the other holding his clipboard. "Wait here until your name is called and then come next door."

'Bunshin's,' Naruto thought as he put his chin on his hand's. 'Why did it have to be bunshin's! That's my worst technique!'

"Naruto," Hikaru laughed softly from beside him. "Dai-jou-bu!"

"That's easy for you to say," Naruto mumbled.

Hikaru let out a small sigh. "Not everyone's good at everything. If you must know, I find the bunshin no jutsu fairly hard, well.. I found it hard. I just practiced hard at it." 'It's the only one I really had to practice with,' she thought with a slight laugh.

"Okay, Hikaru," Iruka said looking at her.

'Think clearly,' Hikaru thought as she made her seal. 'And-'

"Bunshin no jutsu!"

After the smoke cleared, Hikaru, Iruka and Mizuki noted there were now three of Hikaru, causing her to grin. "I guess practice really does make perfect."

"I guess you pass then," Iruka said as she grinned even more.

"Great job son! Your old man is proud!" One of the adult's gushed over their child as Naruto sat on a swing away from everyone, his eye's cast down.

"So now we're all adults!"

"Congratulations graduate! Tonight, mom's gonna cook up a feast!"

'.. Naruto..' Hikaru thought as she looked at him.

"Hey, isn't he the kid who-?" One female asked as Hikaru turned her attention to them.

"Yeah, that's him," a second answered. "The only one who failed."

"Serve's him right."

"Can you imagine if they let someone like that become a shinobi...!" The second asked again. "I mean think about it, he is-"

"Don't even go there," the first hushed her as Naruto put his goggles back on.

'... Everyone's alway's so mean to Naruto,' Hikaru narrowed her eye's. '.. Even as children I remember sitting by myself on that swing and seeing him alone.'

"Iruka, could I have a word later?" The third asked asked, from near-by Hikaru as Naruto walked off.

"Of course," Iruka answered.

"What are you doing in my house, in the middle of the night!" The third asked as he found Naruto creeping around.

"Behold!" Naruto yelled. "The sexy no jutsu!"

"AGH!" The third yelled as Naruto laughed coyly then ran off, leaving the Third on the floor.
"Now," Naruto said as he entered a room full of scroll's. "Which one is i-" He stopped as he looked at the sleeping figure to the side of him, he also noted she had a scroll in her hand's, which were rested on her lap. "What's... she doing?" He asked himself as she moved slightly. Naruto shook his head slightly and took the scroll from Hikaru's hand's. "O! This is it!" He grinned. 'Wonder what she was doing with it though,' he asked as he stood up and jumped out of the window.

"Uhh," she yawned as she sat up and streached, then noticed the scroll as missing, along with the fact the door was open. "What do you know," she mused as she put her hand's behind her head. "Naruto actually got here."

Standing up she walked into another room, yawning slightly she rubbed her eye's. "You should sleep."

"Uh," she said, turning around and finding the Third standing there. Eventhough he was more like a farther to her, she still called him grampa. "I was just about to head to bed, Jiisan," she yawned again as she smiled. "Oyasumi nasai," she said waving her hand slightly and walking off.

'... She's full of suprises,' he thought as he watched her figure dissapear.

"Konohamaru!" Hikaru yelled as she lleant on the doorway and found him face first on the floor. "Ebisu-san," she said shooting him a look. "You should look after him better- Ah, Naruto," she smiled looking at him then kneeling beside Konohamaru and helping him up.

"I get it!" Konohamaru said rubbing his head. "It's a trap.. Right!"

"Are you alright Konohamaru-kun?" Hikaru asked.

"And for the record!" Ebisu said pushing his glasses up. "There are no trap's here!"

"What's going on?" Naruto asked. "Who's the kid?"

"Kid!" Konohamaru asked as Hikaru laughed slightly. "Aha!" Konohamaru said. "So you tripped me! It was you right!"

Naruto growled slightly and grabbed him by the front of his top. "You fell over your own feet!"

"Unhand him Naruto!" Ebisu yelled. "That boy happen's to be the grandson of Hokage-sama!"

'So.. he's related to Hikaru-chan?' Naruto asked as he kept his fist clenched.

"So?" Konohamaru asked. "Take your best shot! I dare you!"

"... Konohamaru-kun," Hikaru laughed slightly.

'They alway's do this,' Konohamaru thought. 'Once they know I'm the Hokage's grandson. Too afraid of me? Just like master four eyes there, and everyone else in town... HAH!'

"Like I care stupid!" Naruto yelled as he hit Konohamaru and dropped him.

"WHA-T!" Ebisu yelled as Hikaru sighed and stood up again.

"Are you okay, Konohamaru-kun?" She asked as Naruto walked out.

"UN! Nee-chan!" Konohamaru grinned and ran out of the door.

"I have a feeling it's going to be a very long day," she gave a small chuckle and ran after him.

"Now," Hikaru said to herself as she folded her arm's. "He's obvious-"

"Quit following me stupid!" Naruto yelled pointing to Konohamaru. "I can see you right there!"

"Ahah," Hikaru said as she jumped off the roof and landed by Naruto.

"So," Konohamaru said lowering the sheet he had in front of him. "You managed to penetrate my disguise! Right! The rumour's of your prowess don't lie! Teach me your skill's! I'll become your disciple!"

"... What's with him?" Naruto asked as Hikaru laughed slightly.

"Don't mind Konohamaru-kun."

"Your related to him huh?"

"He's sort of like a little brother to me," Hikaru answered.

"You've gotta teach me that sexy no jutsu you used on my grandpa!" Konohamaru yelled. "Okay, Chief!"

'Ch-chief!' Naruto asked as Hikaru sighed and folded her arm's. "If, your going to stay with Naruto-kun," she said walking over to Konohamaru and messing up the small bit of hair. "Then there's no need for me to stay here."

"Nee-chan! Why don't you teach me to!" Konohamaru asked.

"Nope, I have to train," Hikaru replied as she jumped onto a roof and headed back.

"She alway's has to train," Konohamaru mumbled as he followed Naruto.

'... If Naruto teaches Konohamaru-kun that horrid technique,' Hikaru thought. 'I don't want to be around.'

Landing in an open field Hikaru gave a small laugh as she looked at all the puncture mark's on some of the target's, then pulled out a few kunai. "First up, target practice."
