Sorry it's been a while since I've written. I'm in school, so I'm focused on other things, but I will continue to update whenever I have the chance.

Chapter 5:

When I walked in the class they looked at me like I was a ghost. I mean, I know I have a new outfit on, but they shouldn't stare at me like that.

"Didn't you fail the test? You shouldn't be here" said Kiba known as dog boy.

"Well I obviously belong here because I have a headband" I said as I pointed to it.

Someone was sitting next to Hinata, so I had to sit somewhere new. Sasuke has no one he was sitting next to so I sat next to him. As soon as I did two girls ran in the class fighting about who would sit next to Sasuke.

"I got here first!" Sakura yelled loudly.

"No you didn't! My foot was in the doorway before you!" said Ino.

They looked at Sasuke, but then their attention turned to me.

"Why are you sitting next to Sasuke?!" screamed Sakura.

"You got into the classroom too slow. Maybe next time you should hurry up." I said.

Ino and Sakura came near me and started to grab me to get out he seat.

"You don't deserve to sit next to Sasuke, Naruko" Ino said.

"Get off of me!" I yelled.

I got out of their grasp, got on top of the table and sat in front of Sasuke.

"I'm not sitting next to Sasuke anymore now" I said

Sasuke looked up at me and I think he thought I was crazy. I checked out his features and I still wonder why every girl likes him. I mean his eyes are pretty I guess, but other than that his attitude is awful.

"Naruko what are you doing!" yelled the girls in the class. When they said that a boy behind me accidentally nudged my back with his elbow and pushed me forward.

Since I was too close to Sasuke our lips connected. Everyone in the class's eyes widened. I opened my eyes and moved my head back so we weren't kissing anymore. When I looked at Sasuke he had a slight blush on his cheeks. It wasn't noticeable for the whole class to see, but I could.

"Naruko, how could you!" yelled almost every girl.

I jumped down from the table and wiped my lips. 'I just kissed Sasuke' I thought. It wasn't that bad, but why Sasuke of all people.

Before anymore chaos could happen Iruka came into the room. "Everyone take your seat" he said.

"We will be separating everyone into squads of three" he said. "Squad 7...will be Sasuke Uchiha"

All the girls listen intently to see if they were going to be in Sasuke's squad.

"Sakura Haruno"

She jumped out of her seat and said "Yay! I'm with Sasuke!" The girls glared at her and were jealous.

"And...Naruko Uzumaki"

All the attention from Sakura went to me and all I could do was groan. 'Why do I have to be paired up with the people I don't want to be with? I wish Neji was our age, so I could be in his squad.'

"Can I change my squad?" I asked but it kinda sounded like begging.

"No you cannot, anyway squad 8 will be Hinata Hyūga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka. Squad 10 will be Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akamichi, and Shikamaru Nara."

"You will meet your jounin teachers after lunch, class dismissed"

I walked home for lunch, it's not like I want to sit next to anyone in my class. I got some instant ramen and walked to the forest. The forest is almost one of my favorite spots in Konoha. The Hokage Mountain is my favorite spot because I feel free.

While I was eating my ramen I heard rustling. Neji comes into the forest and he has leaves all over his hair.

"What's with all he leaves?" I ask him while I hold in a laugh.

"I had to camouflage for one of my missions, anyway what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be in class?"

"Right now it's lunch time. After lunch we get to meet our Sensei's!" I said excitedly until I remenbered who was in my squad.

"What's the matter?" He asked me curiously. He saw the change in my expression.

"I have Sasuke and Sakura in my squad. You know the fangirl and the emo."

He scoffed and said "Its not that bad. You don't have two crazy people in yours, including my Sensei."

I laughed. I've seen both Lee and Guy Sensei before and they were on a whole different level.

I remembered that I kissed Sasuke and I needed to tell Neji. "Neji I accidentally kissed Sasuke"

His eyes widened, but then he said in a low tone "Do you like him?"

"No! Not at all!" I told him.

He sighed and looked relieved for some reason. "Okay, that's all that matters. Just don't think about it."

I yawned and started to feel tired.

"Are you sleepy Naruko? Do you want to take a nap?"

"Naw. I have to get going anyway. I'll come see you later" I told him as I stood up to leave.

He stood up too and took out the leaves in his hair. As he started to walk out of the forest he yelled "Don't let Sasuke kiss you again."

"Okay!" I yelled back.

When I came back to the academy everyone was gone except for Sakura and Sasuke. I guess they are meeting they Sensei's right now.

"What took so long Naruko?" asked Sakura.

"I was just eating lunch at home" I replied.

I sat down and after a while I started to feel bored "Whats taking so long?!" I yelled. Which startled everyone.

"Your being to loud. Shut up." said Sasuke quietly.

"Yeah Naruko, shut up" said Sakura.

"Whatever" I told them as I stood up. I picked up the earser from the chalk board and set up a trap on the door.

"Like a jounin would fall for that" said Sakura.

After a couple of minutes I heard stepping outside of the room and they slid the door open.

The earser dropped on his head and he looked dusty.

I laughed out loud and said "He fell for it!"

"I didn't do it Sensei. It was only Naruko" Sakura said to look innocent.

Our Sensei looked... hmm... well strange. He had a mask that covered his nose and his mouth. He also covered one of his eyes with his headband.

"My impression first impression of this group is you're a bunch of idiots. Meet me on the roof" he said.

When we all got in the roof we all sat down except for our Sensei. He leaned on the bars that was around the perimeter.

"Why don't we introduce ourselves." he said.

"Introduce ourselves? Like how?" asked Sakura.

"Likes, dislikes, dreams for the future, or hobbies. Something like that." he said.

"Why don't you go first Sensei?" she said.

"Okay. My name is Kakashi Hatake. I don't want to tell you my likes or dislikes. Dreams for the future... never really thought about it. I have lots of hobbies. Who wants to go next"

Sakura turned to face me and said "He only told us his name"

"Yeah pretty much" I replied.

I raised my hand and said "I'll go next"

"My name is Naruko Uzumaki. I like eating ramen and hanging out with my best friend. I don't like mean people. And my dream for the future is to become the first female Hokage."

"Okay" He said. "Girl with the pink hair you go next"

"My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes is...(looks at Sasuke) I mean the person I like is... My hobbies... My dream for the future is... And I hate Naruko."

'Great' I thought sarcasticly.

"Last one" he says.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things. I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, but a reality. I will restore my clan and destroy a certain someone."

'Um... that's pretty scary' I thought.

"We'll have our first mission tomorrow." He said.

"What type of mission?" I ask curiously.

"A survival exercise" he says "Out of the 27 graduates who passed only 9 will be accepted as genin. He other 18 will go back to the academy."

"What! That's not fair!" I said.

"Well life's not fair. Anyway be at the designated training spot at 5:00 AM. Make sure not to eat breakfast or you'll throw up."

After we were dismissed I walked back to the forest. I found Neji sleeping on a tree. I walked up to him and nudged him a little. "Neji, wake up I'm here."

He grabbed a kunai and held it to my throat. He put it down after he saw my face "Oh. It's only you. Sorry" he apologized.

"It's fine Neji" I reassured him. "Shouldn't you go home? Your family should be waiting for you."

"No, it's fine. I was waiting for you to make sure you are okay. How was the rest of your day?"

"We're going to do a survival exercise. Did you have to do one?" I asked.

"Yeah, it was hell. Guy Sensei made us do so much exercising"

"Ugg.. I just don't want to think about it. I'm just going to sleep." I said.

He pats his lap and I put my head on his lap and start to doze off. He gently plays with my hair. While I was falling asleep. I think I heard him say the word beautiful. I wonder what he was talking about.
