~The Late Sensei~

The lady standing at the podium about to adress the freshman class seemed to be a notable figure within the school. She had long blonde hair with chestnut eyes. Her clothes were as causual as they come however, she wore a dark grey tanktop with a dark green hoodie as on overshirt. Also she had black pants & matching high heels with thinly framed glasses. She cleared her throat and addressed all the kids.

" Hello Konoha High students. I will be your principle this year and my name is Miss Tsunade. " The ample lady said.

" Now everyone go to your homerooms to get the day started! " she says as her voice seems excited yet her face seems expressionless. She walks off as everyone raises from thier seats and head to thier classes. They all go into classroom B2-2 which is on the second level of the building. Everyone finds a suitable seat next to thier friend since there is no teacher in to room to assign seats.

" I wonder where and who the teacher is. " Ino said shrugging.

" Does this mean this is a free day? " Sakura asked as she looked around the room. She focused her attention on Kiba who had already pulled out his MP3 player and had his headphones in.

" Really, Kiba? " Sakura growled as Kiba smirked and turned up the volume.

" I guess it is a free day Sakura. " Said Sai as he reached into his backpack and pulled out drawing supplise.

Everyone instantly started conversing,

" Hey, did you see the new episode of Breaking Bad? " Choji asked Shikamaru.

" No but I did see the new episode of The Walking Dead. " Shiakamaru said.

Naruto leaned to Neji and Lee and whispered " Pst, Hey. Did you guys get then new Pocket Monsters X & Y? "

" I played Flame Red and Aqua Blue and I didn't really enjoy those as much as I thought I would. So I probably wont end up getting it. " Lee said.

Neji just shook his head and started talking to Hinata quietly.

"So are you two dating now or what is going on? " Neji questioned Hinata.

" I-I don't know. " Hinata said doubtingly. She then looked at Naruto with loving eyes.

( If you only knew how I feel about you. ) She thought to herself as she went into a day dream.

A few minutes pass until the classrom door suddenly opens and a man with white hair, a scarf over his mouth and a stack of books in his hands enters the room. By the way this man dresses he seems to be in his late fifties or sixties by his cloths. He is wearing a white peacoat, black slacks & taupe dress shoes. He walked over to the teachers desk and set his books down and took off his coat. Under the coat he is wearing a black dress shirt with a taupe colored tie.

" Sorry i'm late everyone. " The man bows and apologizes to the classroom.

The class falls silent as Lee's hand pierces the silent air.

" Um, Yes? You in the green. " Lee stands up.

" Does this mean you're are Sensei? "

" Oh yes, I am Kakashi Hatake. Your homeroom teacher. " Kakashi says smiling.

" Well Seeing as we only have a few minutes left in this period this will just be a free period for the remaining part of the class. If you need anything I will be at my desk right over here. " He says as he walks to his desk, pulls out a book and starts to read it intensely.

Everyone looks at eachother in confusion and then continue as if nothing had changed. Hinata turns her head in Naruto's direction and as she goes to say say his name the bell rings subdues her voice. Everyone grabs thier bags and begins to leave as Kakashi yells out

" Also everyone, prepare to tell me about yourselves tomorrow. Until then i'll see you all maƱana."

Everyone groans as they leave.

Everyone goes separate ways to gome home except Naruto and Choji who live in the same direction, so the decide to walk home together. The silence is heavy but Naruto soon breaks it as he says

" So Choji, how is the shop? "

Choji looking at Naruto in shock for the sudden question says " It's alright, y'know. I do some things here and there and it gets boring after a while. Everyday though this stray dog comes around and I let him eat some of the left overs we have. He's super friendly and when i'm with him it's like it's my own little paradise from work. "

Naruto nods his head to confirm what he just heard as Choji is still staring at him. As they near Choji's shop they see a brown spot coming closer to them at a hasty speed. Naruto squints his eyes to try and see what it is

( What is it? It's moving to fast for me to make it out. ) he thought to himself as he braced for a fight. Choji runs twords the brown flash yelling

" Kouhei! "

Naruto stands paralyzed that the brown dot is just a dog. Choji walks over to Naruto with the dog by his side

" Naruto, this is Kouhei. The stary I was telling you about that comes to our store. "

Naruto stares at the dog who then barks in excitement and walks over to Naruto and nuzzles his leg. Naruto snaps out of his state and smiles and pets the dog.

" Nice to meet you Kouhei. " Naruto says happily.

All three of them walk to the shop entrance Naruto waves goodbye to Choji and Kouhei as he heads home.

Coming up to the house Naruto can see a familiar car pulling out of the driveway.

( I guess dad's going somewhere. )

Naruto thought to himself as he opened his front gate and walked the extensive walkway to his front door. He opens the front door to an abandoned front room, shutting the door behind him he sets his things next to the door and kicks off his shoes. Naruto then continues up the tiring staircase to his room, flinging to door open and the belly flopping onto his bed.

" Ah this feels nice, I just want to sleep. " He says to himself in a tired manner.

He then gets up and sits at his desk pulling out lined paper and a black ink pen. He remembers what Kakashi-Sensei said to him

( Prepare to tell me all about yoursel'ves tomorrow. )

He then looks at his desk radio and turns it on to listen to music to help him think. Above his desk is a window that shows a veil of fog over the dark forrest behind his house. Staring out of the window at the forrest his vidion begins to blur and suddenly he passes out on his desk.
