OK people this is my 4 chapter, I hope you like it. Oh and I am changing Hiroshi's age to 7 only because it will make it easier for my ideas to fall into place. And those of you who are wondering where all the action in this story is, it is in the next chapter! And in lots of other chapters, but I'm not there yet. Hope you like this chapter. And there is a sad chapter coming up REAL soon so be aware! Rating may go up later! (just incase you didn't glance at summary!) One more thing, Hiroshi looks like Kagome's brother, if someone could tell me what his name is I would appreciate it's a question that has been driving me mad! Thanks R&R!
Chapter 4- Talking with Hiroshi, a challenge, and graduation
"Well class, I'd like you all to meet our new student, Tomoyo Haruno." Everyone looked at Tomoyo strangely, then they all looked at Sakura who was too busy looking at Sasuke the stares she was receiving. "Ok class, you are all being a bunch of brats so all of you say hello or I will fail you ALL!" Iruka looked evil at the moment. Then Sakura looked up and saw Tomoyo. "Hey, Tomoyo I thought after your father took you and your mother away to probably sell you both as slaves, you'd never come back here again. After all If my parents saw you or that little thing that follows you everywhere, they would flip. I mean, your father took you away. I never liked him, he was always…" but she never got to finish because while she was babbling on and on, Tomoyo walked slowly with a scowl on her face and everyone watched her wondering what she was going to do, Tomoyo walked right up to where Sakura sat and picked her up by the caller of her dress/shirt and punched her in the face. "Don't you dare speak about my father like that, and if you EVER call my brother a 'thing' again I will kill you cousin dearest." Tomoyo looked at her with a serious look. Then Ino stood up, "Hey you can't come in here and go punching people for no reason!" Tomoyo then turned her attention to Ino and walked calmly over to her, "If I were you girly I would mind my own business!" Tomoyo looked pissed and everyone was able to feel it. She then walked over to Sakura and held out a hand. Sakura took it then flung herself at Tomoyo hugging her and crying. Everyone was just staring at the two. Didn't Sakura just get decked by that girl? And now she was crying? She's not mad! Tomoyo just hugged Sakura and let her cry. When Sakura looked up she said sorry and Tomoyo just smiled and walked her over to her seat. "Um Iruka-sansei, I was wondering if Tomoyo could sit with me." Now everyone was REALLY confused as to what was going on, 'WHY THE HECK AREN'T THEY FIGHTING? SAKURA JUST GOT PUNCHED AND NOW SHE WANTS TO KEEP THAT GIRL AROUND? I'M SO CONFUSED!" Those were the thoughts running thru everyone's head. "Why yes, I guess Sakura." Iruka was just as confused as all the teens in the room. "Well as I was saying about the graduation exams, they will be in three days. And Tomoyo you get to participate in them with permission from the Hokage." Tomoyo didn't even look up. She was too busy thinking about Hiroshi. Tomoyo's calm features turned into a frown. Then Iruka announced that class was over everyone jumped up and ran out of the room leaving Tomoyo, Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto and Sakura stood up and turned to the other two. Sasuke just gave them an annoyed look then stood up looking down at Tomoyo who was still seated with her head down. "Uh, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked timidly. Then all of a sudden the tension in the room rose and Naruto was starting to sweat as well as Sasuke. Sakura was just scared. Then Tomoyo's head flew up and she had a very worried look on her face. "Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, something is coming!" Tomoyo stated nervously. "What is it, a ninja?" Naruto stated excitedly. "No, but it's powerful." Tomoyo stood and looked out the window. Then Tomoyo gasped because as quickly as the powerful energy had came it left and everything seemed normal. "That was weird." Sakura stated. Sasuke just gave her another annoyed look. "Great now it's going to rain, and I stood here so a stupid girl could fool around like an idiot and make a deal out of nothing." At this Tomoyo stood to her feet and glared at Sasuke. "You felt it too, I know you did I saw you, Naruto and Sakura tense up. Besides you're an Uchiha, unless you've just been lying about that as well." Tomoyo looked at him expectantly. When he didn't answer she smirked, "Case closed." Tomoyo walked over to the door and turned around, "I'm going to go pick up Hiroshi Naruto, we're going to get ramen for lunch and your welcome to come if you want, and you both can come too if you want." Tomoyo smiled at Naruto as he ran out the door. "Ramen, why didn't you say so! See-ya later Sakura, later Uchiha." Sakura just looked fell to the ground exasperated. (A/N: hahaha my friend and I call that 'THE anime fall' LOL.) Sasuke just looked at her laying on the floor and walked out the door.
With Naruto and Tomoyo
Tomoyo and Naruto both walked into the Hokage's office to see Konahamaru and Hiroshi in the center of the room competing to see whoo was better, The Hokage (aka: Konahamaru's grandpa!) or Tomoyo (aka: Hiroshi's sister.) when Hiroshi noticed you he ran and hugged Tomoyo, "SISTER!" Tomoyo just smiled to know he was safe. "Sister please tell this mere child that you could totally beat down the Hokage any day!" Tomoyo just looked up at the Hokage and he shrugged, "This is how it's been the whole day." Naruto sat there and looked at Konahamaru, "Forget my grandpa Hiroshi, my 'Boss' can kick that girls butt any day!" Konahamaru ran over to Naruto and smiled at him. "Eh, Konahamaru not now I didn't even eat yet." Tomoyo just looked at Naruto with her eyebrows raised. "I'm very sorry lord Hokage, But I thank you for watching over my brother while I had been at the academy." Tomoyo bowed to the Hokage and gently took Hiroshi's hand. And led him out of the office and onto the streets of Konaha.
Hiroshi looked up at Tomoyo and she smiled at him. "I'm sorry sis, but he started it!" he looked down ashamed. "Hey Hiroshi, don't feel so bad. I'm not even a little mad ok? So how about you and I go eat lunch with Naruto?" Tomoyo smiled down at him and he looked at Naruto. "Hey your that boy that tried to kill my sister this morning! So what do you want to do now? Sit on me?" Hiroshi looked at Naruto with his eyebrows raised and a smile on his face. Naruto just laughed. "Hiroshi be nice, he is my first friend in Konaha and I'm just being nice because all those other brats at the academy didn't seem to be very nice to him and it makes me mad!" Tomoyo looked up at the sky. "Wow I guess Sasuke was right, it is going to rain." Naruto looked at Tomoyo and frowned, "No it's not!" Hiroshi looked at Naruto with a sly smirk on his face, "are you sure of yourself?" Naruto just looked annoyed, "Of course I am, BELIEVE IT!" Hiroshi's smirk just grew wider and he spoke once again, "3-2-1 and…" CRACK
The sound of thunder filled the warm summer air. Everyone just continued with their work or whatever they were doing like there was never thunder in the frst place. And after about 5 seconds rain started to fall, but it wasn't very heavy just a light rain fall, but Tomoyo and Hiroshi had a feeling that it was going to last a LONG time. And they just made it to the ramen stand as the rain started to fall.
After they ate and went their separate ways
As Tomoyo and Hiroshi walked slowly thru the rain they came to a giant puddle. Hiroshi was the first to notice it and smirked. As Tomoyo talked to Hiroshi about what he's going to want to get for their new home, he ran and jumped into the giant puddle and soaked Tomoyo and himself. "Hiroshi!" Tomoyo laughed and chased him around in the puddle. Little did they know that in a tree across the street sat an Uchiha who stared at his classmate and her brother playing in the water that was unusually warm, with a smile on his face, and it wasn't just a small smile, but a real smile.
Later at Tomoyo's and Hiroshi's new house
Tomoyo was making dinner for the both of them while Hiroshi sat in one of the two stools in the kitchen watching his sister cook and they talked. "Sister, what am I going to do while you go to the academy tomorrow?" Tomoyo put down the knife she had and put the chopped up carrots in the pot of soup she was making and looked at him. "Well, I was thinking you could stay here and meet me at the academy at noon when classes are done with." Hiroshi just sighed. He didn't like his sister going. It took a lot of their time together away. "Ok sis." Tomoyo sensed the sadness in his voice and walked to the other side of the counter and hugged him from behind. She rested her head on his head and sighed. "Hiroshi, I'm…I'm really sorry." Hiroshi knew she was too; he was able to feel it. "C'mon Hiroshi, dinner is ready." She removed her arms from around him and took a step but stumbled. When Hiroshi looked at her he saw her furiously wiping her eyes and he knew she was crying. He just looked down then hoped off of the stool and ran infront of her and wrapped his arms around her waist and started to sob onto her shirt/dress (that is black and white just saying in case you forgot. ) Tomoyo was startled at first but returned the embrace and started to feel tears fall down her cheeks again. Hiroshi looked up at his sister with more tears falling and said, "I-I-I'm s-s-sorry s-s-sister." And he buried his face in her shirt/dress again and cried some more. Tomoyo bent over and picked up her liitle brother and turned off the stove and went into the front room and sart down on the floor couch and wiped his tears away. "Hiroshi, we need to talk."
The day of the graduation exams
"Good luck sis!" Hiroshi said as he hugged his older sister and smiled at her and she smiled back then she started to run down the street. Tomoyo turned around one last time and waved to her little brother before she disappeared in the large crowd of people. "Now all I have to do is wait till noon and meet her at the academy." said Hiroshi happily. And he ran to his room that he shared with his sister.
At the academy
"So, ready for the exams?" Sasuke asked as Tomoyo walked in and sat next to him. Tomoyo just looked at him and smiled. "Yeah, I can't wait. I do hope I pass." Sasuke just smirked, "So, you have doubts?" Tomoyo's smile never faltered she just looked at him. "I'm going to pass, for my brother." Sasuke just looked confused for a second then remembered that night when her and that small boy played in the puddle. He smiled a small smile and looked forward as Sakura ran in and squeezed in between them. Sasuke just scowled and Tomoyo raised an eyebrow. "So Tomoyo, when are we going to meet this 'Hiroshi' that you care so deeply for?" Tomoyo scowled but looked down and said quietly, "today, after class." Sakura scowled, she wasn't in a good mood. Her hair was a mess, she woke up late and she ran into Ino and she called her forehead big again, then Naruto tries to walk with her and to make things worse, she comes walking into the classroom to see Sasuke and Tomoyo talking and sitting right next to each other. Today was not her day. She just looked at Tomoyo sharply, "You know, that was a statement that was not supposed to be answered!" Tomoyo looked at her with a bored expression on her face. "Are you done ranting yet?" Sakura glared at Tomoyo but turned to Sasuke, looking as sweet as she could, (beside the fact she was pissed) "Um Sasuke, I already know you and I are going to pass the test, so how about you and I have lunch together?" Sasuke turned to her and had a frown tugging his features, "Sakura you really are clueless." Sakura still stared at him intently with a fake smile plastered on his face. Then he sighed, "No." he stated flatly. She looked a little disappointed then looked at Tomoyo, "You told him to say no, didn't you!" Tomoyo looked at Sakura with a sharp glare. "What? You know, I thought that you would have figured it out already I have to tell you this I guess, Sakura I am so sorry." Sakura just kept her glare on her face, she didn't like where this 'conversation' was going. "What are you talking about stupid?" Tomoyo just closed her eyes and shook her head in mock sadness. "I can't believe I'm going to use this old line, in the name of Naruto what is the world coming too?" Tomoyo looked up to the ceiling or 'sky' with her arms raised in the air. "Sakura," now everyone was listening to what she was going to say. Tomoyo looked at Sakura and brought her arms back to her sides as a smirk found its way onto her features. "You are stupider than you look." Everyone just sat there and Sasuke smirked, then everyone burst into fits of laughter. Who knew Tomoyo could make such a stupid old line seem so funny by being dramatic.
"and you know Sakura, you should take that as a compliment, because I could have been a lot more harsh." Tomoyo's smirk left her features and looked serious, "I could have said that he's not interested and you're ugly." Sakura just sat there eyes as wide as saucers and her mouth was twitching 'did mu cousin just call me ugly? OH THAT'S IT! IT'S ON NOW GIRL!' the inner Sakura screamed. "That's it, after class you and me Tomoyo outside the gates of Konoha." Everyone was stunned at her outburst Tomoyo just looked like she always did, just as bored as ever. "Why?" Tomoyo rested her chin in the palm of her hand and looked at Sakura. "So I can prove to you that I'm no push-over!" Sakura yelled once again. Sakura stood up at this and slammed her fists onto the table they were sitting at. Sasuke watched to see what Tomoyo would do, as Tomoyo let out a deep sigh she looked at Sakura and with the hand that wasn't supporting her chin, she brought it up to Sakura's face and pushed her backwards causing her to fall on the floor. "Sorry Sakura, I already know you're not a push-over." Sakura looked up unwilling to stand and looked at her with a questioning look on her face. "Yep, because you already fell over, so I can't push you over any farther." Sakura just sat there thinking about what Tomoyo had just said and was about to yell again but Iruka entered the room. "Ok students the test is simple, you all stand in a line and we call you into that room separately." As this was said Iruka pointed to a cream colored door. "Behind it we will ask you to do a jutsu and you do it. If you perform it correctly, you pass. GOT IT?" everyone just mumbled an incoherent yes and Iruks smiled, "Then please all of you stand down here in a straight line." At this everyone stood and walked down and stood in a line and people went in but strangely they weren't coming back out. "Hey Sasuke, do you know if there is an exit in that room?" Tomoyo whispered to Sasuke who turned slightly to look at her and nodded his head in a yes. Slowly it got to Tomoyo and as her name was called she walked into the room. "Ok Tomoyo, don't be shy, just show us a transformation justu and if you do it correctly you get your leaf headband, and you pass, oh and there is someone out there waiting for you." Iruka said smiling at his newest student but one who has placed herself in the top three in just three days! She passed Sakura but was still behind Sasuke. She made herself look exactly like Iruka and he laughed. Tomoyo just smiled and transformed back to herself. "You pass, Iruka said as he handed her leaf headband to her." She just smiled and placed it in her pouch and put on an emotionless face. As she opened the door and the sun shone really bright and her eyes started to water at the sudden brightness. She put her head down and started to wipe her eyes. She walked over to where she had seen Hiroshi and walked slowly. "Hey sis." He said slowly and Tomoyo sensed sadness in his voice and looked up. "Huh? Hiroshi, why are you so sad?" he looked down to the ground as Sakura came walking up to Tomoyo with a triumphant smirk on her face. "He's sad because you failed." Tomoyo looked at Sakura as if she were mad. "What do you mean fail?" Then Tomoyo's confused look changed to an angered one. "Well in case you didn't know, My headband is right here and I didn't fail you giant forehead!" Tomoyo pulled her headband out of her puch and handed it to her brother gently. "Here Hiroshi, what did I say? I told you I was going to pass." She smiled down at the younger boy. "COOL SIS!" Hiroshi jumped into Tomoyo's arms and Sakura stepped back. After Tomoyo smiled with her brother, she got onto her knees and let Hiroshi tie it around her forehead. When he was done tying it, Tomoyo stood up and smirked at Sakura as Hiroshi held her hand, "So about that 'push-over' challenge you made."
