Chapter 2: Is This Really My Team...

-----------------------------

I finally woke up when Onee-chan started to shake me real hard

"Wake up Ari!" Onee-chan shouted, "If you don't you'll be late for meeting your new sensei!"

"What!" I quickly flew out of bed and rushed through my morning routine. Tying my hair into a pony-tail I ran out the door without eating breakfast and rushed towards the Academy. On my way there, I saw Naruto happily skipping the same way I was going

"Morning Naruto" I jogged passed him and waved

"Ar...Ari-chan?" He quickly matched my pace as he ran next to me, "What's the hurry?"

"Sorry Naruto" I apologize, "I can't really talk right now. Takada-sensei is really strict with people being late and I'm already on his bad side. I don't want to get my new sensei mad too"

"Alright" He smiled, "Maybe I'll see you later"

"Okay!" I shouted before running all the way towards my classroom and sat down just as Takada-sesnsei came in

"So, Murai, did you wake up late this morning?" Hyuuga taunted and I tried to breathe

"I don't even want to fight with you today, Hyuuga" I stated, "After today, I won't even see you again for a long time"

"Quiet!" Takada-sensei shouted, "You will now be placed into a -man cell team. One group will have four concidering that the number of people in this class is not even"

'What are the chances that I'm with Hyuuga?' I smiled happily to myself, 'Maybe I'll get Tenten in my team. She's like the only one who doesn't mind me and actually talks to me. Also, her knowledge of weapons is pretty interesting'

"Okay, listen for your names" Takada-sensei started to list names and the people began to get paired off. "Group 9 (Correct me if I'm wrong) Rock Lee, Tenten..."

"Yes! Now I can show you my way of the shinobi!" Rock Lee had fires in his eyes as he clutched his fist

Rock Lee had bushy eye browes and a weird haircut. What I heard was that people made fun of his because he could not do any ninjutsu or genjutsu. Tenten had two buns on the side of her head and was wearing a pink chinese style shirt with green pants. She knew almost everything about shinobi weapons because her dad owns a weapon shop.

"Murai Ari" Takada continued

"Yay!" Tenten smiled happily from her seat infront of me, "We're on the same team!"

"Thank god" I smiled back, 'No Hyuuga. No Hyuuga. I love you god'

"And Hyuuga Neji" Takada-sensei finished

'WHY! Why must you do this to me! What have I ever done to you god! I take back what I just said. I hate you!' I couldn't stop myself from hitting my head on the desk multiple times.

"Ari, stop!" Tenten gasped, "You're gonna have a huge bruise"

"So, Murai, your plans of getting rid of me just back fired" Hyuuga smirked and I just glared at him

"You are to be here at four to meet your sensei" Takada-sensei explained, "For now, you are excused"

I got up and walked with Tenten to a quiet place to eat our lunch.

"Nya! I was so late today that I didn't get my lunch" I moaned as my stomach growled in hate

"Here, you can have some of mine" Tenten offered as she handed me an onigiri

"So Murai, forgot your lunch?" said a voice that I had not wanted to hear for a long time and Hyuuga appeared infront of us

"Stop it Neji" Tenten tried to help me

"Hyuuga, I propose a a truth. Since we are now on the same team, we can't act like this" I glared at him in defeat

"What Murai? Scared now?" he sat next to us on the stone steps

"I'm serious Neji!" I growled

"Fine, Ari" He growled out my name, "As long as you don't drag the team down"

"Deal" We shook hands before I realise what he had said, "Wait! What do you mean by me dragging the team down!"

"You are slow Ari" Tenten shook her head as Neji just smirked at me.

Neji...it feels strange calling him Neji after calling him Hyuuga for so long. Oh well, it'll take time. As the three of us ate quietly, Rock Lee appeared minutes later and told us that we were to meet our sensei.

"Come on" Neji stated os the four of us went back to the academy

'I wonder who our sensei is. After Hy-I mean Neji being place on the same team as me. I don't think there will be any other surprise that will shock me that bad' I thought to myself
