Chapter Two: My first day at the academy!

Disclaimer: as stated in previous chapter, I do not own Naruto, or his world for that matter. I however recently regained ownership of my own mind. And I own Kasumi, old lady-death god, Kumiko and every one from the 'real' world. And my version of after life. And I own my precious tea cup with everything within it. Okay, Okay my parents own the spoon but the tea is MINE!

Note: I have taken the tough decision to have a story where most of the rookies are pretty central, but Ino for example will be pretty much losing half of her role in this, seeing Kasumi and Sakura will be best friends etc.

Kasumi awoke the next morning and rolled over, thus falling on the cold wooden floor. 'Old habits die hard I guess.' Kasumi thought while getting up, failing and trying again.

When she finally accomplished the deed of getting her behind of the floor she set her course for the bathroom. She sighed as she undid her braid- her old long hazel hair and green eyes were gone. They were replaced with strangely dark eyes and blond hair. Something that was almost disturbing. The change she DIDN'T regret however was her plump waistline being eliminated. (She is talking about changes from her old life to her new life not from just that morning!)

Most of these changes, she reckoned came from Tsunade. But Tsunade had blue eyes, while Kasumi's were black.

She shrugged it off. She had yet to ask for her father, and it was not like she was going to start now. She had survived just fine without a father in her last life, so why start getting interested now?

She went back to her room, or more correctly her and Tsunade's room. Since there only was one bedroom, Kasumi and Tsunade sheared that one while Shizune slept on the couch. There only were three rooms; the bathroom, kitchen/living room, and the bedroom. It was amazing three woman were able to coexist peacefully in an apartment meant for one person.

Well, Kasumi IS Tsunade's daughter after all, but add on Shizune and it IS amazing.

For her first day on the academy Tsunade had afforded a new costume for her.

"For my little Kunoichi!" she had said happily.

It was a green long-sleeved top and a pair of dark blue pants. So Kasumi changed her usual sand colored sun dress with them and immediately felt very grown-up.

Things like that started to happen more and more. She had virtually forgotten she was actually about twenty now and not a five year old, but some memories remained. Like her old mothers voice. It had been two years since she could see her face clearly.

Kasumi sighed and dropped her arms. She was quickly fired up about going to the academy however, and shouted to Tsunade to wake up so she could leave for the academy.

Tsunade sighed and stood up. She supposed she'd have to walk her everyday now to the academy. Just lovely. She got up and prepared not long after that they were on their way to the academy.

Kasumi was almost skipping along looking forewords to going to school again. Shizune had taught her to read and write while Tsunade was out gambling, and while Kasumi read pretty well, her handwriting was terrible.

"Look, Kasumi" said Tsunade. Kasumi snapped out of her thoughts and followed Tsunade's finger. It was pointed at one of the huge stone faces. The first one.

"That is your great-grandfather, the first Hokage and the founder of Konoha."

"Wow!" She said, not too intelligently as she stared up at the huge stone face and innocently added:

"He has a REALLY big nose." That made Tsunade laugh and they continued and soon reached the academy.

Once they reached the outside of the classroom Tsunade kissed her child goodbye and was off for her work.

Entering Kasumi saw that she was third in. a boy with black hair was sleeping on the back row; a girl with purple hair and pale eyes was staring out of the window no the fourth row; and girl with pink hair and was writing on the first row.

Kasumi sat down beside her. "Hello, I'm Kasumi and I'm starting today!" She smiled and extended a hand to the girl. For a moment the girl looked around her to see if she meant someone else, but eventually took her hand and whispered "I'm Sakura."

Kasumi smiled. "You have my favorite name lucky person!" Sakura smiled shyly back. She really did seem quite shy for some reason. But before Kasumi could ask, the classroom was almost full and the teacher walked in.

"Good morning everyone"

"Good morning Iruka-Sensei…" The class chanted back. (Annoying ritual I had to follow until sixth grade x.x)

"As many of you undoubtedly know, we have a new student today! Come down here Kasumi, and tell us a little about yourself."

Kasumi blushed. Talking to one person she didn't know was okay but speaking to a room full… She stood up and went to the front of the room.

"Um… my name is Kasumi and I'm five years old. This is my first time really living anywhere, as until now I have been traveling to many places with auntie Shizune, and my mom, Tsunade. I've wanted to become a medic shinobi since I found out my mom was one." Kasumi said with the typical 'I have practiced this over and over in my head' voice all the while fidgeting with the sleeve of her shirt.

"Thank you Kasumi, you may go sit down again." Kasumi left the front hastily glad to be out of the spot light.

"Today the boys will be doing endurance practice while the girls will go with their sensei to do infiltration practice. The girls cheered while the boys groaned.

"Then we will all meet up here to practice our chakra molding. Sakura will you look after Kasumi and make sure she knows what to do?" Sakura nodded, and the girls left for presumably another classroom. However when they reached there the sensei was waiting outside the door.

"This way girls. We will be outside today." Kasumi smiled. Infiltration practice outside would be fun. Once outside the sensei told them that the harsh training was going to render them unlike any civilian girl, and that was the reason for infiltration training. They had to be able to act like any other girl. Today's topic was flower arrangement. Kasumi was having slight problems as all the stalks were different lengths. But Sakura was having more problems. As she was struggling to find nice flowers and find out where in her bunch of flowers to put them some older girls appeared and started to call her forehead and push her around. Kasumi immediately dropped her flowers and ran over there.

"What are you doing to Sakura?" She asked in her most innocent tone. This seemed to confuse the girls slightly as they racked their brains for a comeback.

"n-none of your business little girl!" the eldest one said.

Kasumi smiled evilly. This was quite disturbing on the face of a five year old.

"No? Well okay then. Come Sakura, these people are so dim witted they don't deserve your presence." For the rest of the class Sakura and Kasumi had fun picking flowers and somehow found a way to put them in neat bouquets. At the end of the lesson they both received top mark.

During chakra lesson Kasumi did okay, but most of the other was much ahead of her. During target practice she was completely off, but when it came time for literature and research on other nations she and Sakura seemed to be on top of their class.

At the end of the day Kasumi left smiling and happy, and looking forewords to the next day, even thought it was the girl's turn to have endurance practice.

Well, it is a late update, but I was forced to go shopping, so I had to walk half an hour to reach the train station, then take ten minutes with train and walk fifteen minutes to get to the shop and then do the same back again, only having to carry three bags of food and drink. Ugh. So when I came back I was completely exhausted, and I still had to clean my room and walk my dog so I simply didn't have time. But here you have a rapid update, and a longer chapter . please review if you feel like it, I answer all the reviews. But thank you so much for reading!
