"Will you do the dopple ganger thing again?" Naruto asked.

"No thanks, sorry." said Mika. She hated those weird looks everyone had given her.

"Please?"

"Nope sorry."

"Please?"

"I said NO Naruto!"

"Pretty Please?"

"Ask me one more time Naruto, and I'll hit you with my book!" she said, waving the journal Sasuke gave her.

"Please, will you show me h-"

WHACK!

"Ow! That hurt!"

"Serves you right!"

"Stupid girls…." he mumbled.

"You stupid doorknob! Shut up, or I'll hit you again!"

"Fine, okay, jeez…."

"Today class, we will talk about our favorite things and the things we hate." said Iruka.

"Uhhhhhh…. What does this have to with ANYTHING? We learning to be ninja, not kindergarten teachers!" said Mika.

"Wow, she can talk!" said Ino sarcastically.

"That's enough, Ino." said Iruka. "But why don't you go first?"

"Fine. My favorite thing is Uchiha Sasuke! And I hate quiet, smart people." She said.

"You mean the people who actually do well in life?" commented Mika.

"Oh, SHUT UP already! I liked you better when you didn't say anything!" yelled Ino.

Iruka heaved a great sigh. "What about you Naruto?"

"Well, I LOVE RAMEN! I HATE people who disrespect me!"

"You mean everyone?" snorted Ino.

"I-I r-respect y-y-you N-Naruto-kun." Hinata stuttered so quietly, no one could hear her (A/N Except the author.)

"What do you like Sasuke?" asked Iruka.

"Does it really matter? I mean, who cares? I think that other girl has a point." Sasuke said, glancing over at Mika, "And I'm not very fond of annoying people."

"Ooooookay. Shikamaru?"

"I like cloud watching. And Shougi and GO!. I don't like chores anything that's, well, troublesome."

"Okay. Next is Chouji."

"Well, I like food… But mostly potato chips! I HATE it when people call me fat! I'm PLEASINGLY PLUMP, PEOPLE! PLEAS-ING-LY PLUMP!"

"Alllrighty then…. Sakura?"

"Ummm, Uhhh, well, it's not really a thing, more of a person…" she shifting her eyes over to Sasuke. "AND I HATE INO AND NARUTO!"

"Gotcha. Hinata?"

"Ummm, w-w-well, I-I like umm, c-c-c-cooking, an-and gardening. I-I don't really like ummm, s-s-s-some things…."

"What kind of things?"

"Ummm….. th-th-things?"

"If you say so! Shino?"

"I like… bugs… I dislike… bug spray…"

"Short, sweet and to the point. Kiba?"

"I like dogs. I hate cats. AND I WANT TO BECOME THE NEXT HOKAGE!"

"HEY! THAT'S MY LINE!" shouted Naruto.

"Last one, okay Mika?" 'It seems young girls care about are boys… Here it comes…'

"My favorite thing has to be hanging out with my 3 best friends, Taijiya, Mea, and Botan! But I also like to read and write. And I hate, absolutely HATE Sasuke's Fan Club! They're always following him around like lost puppies. It's almost like they have nothing better to do with their lives or something, 'Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun, I love you Sasuke-kun!' Humph."

'THANK YOU!' "But I thought you said-"

"Eh, if you're gonna do something, do it right."

"Okay, that about wraps it up! See you guys Tuesday, enjoy the long weekend!" 'While us teachers work here at school.'

Mika started again to clean the cafeteria floor when Sasuke walked by. "Eh, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I was about to ask you the same question." said Mika. "By the way, where's your

Fan Club?"

"Gone home, thank God."

"Really." she said flatly.

"Can I help?"

"Uhhhh… Sure, but aren't you supposed to be the 'too-cool-to-care' type?"

"Yeah? So?"

"Fine by me!" she said, tossing him a rag.

"So… You do this a lot?"

"Yep. Everyday."

"You talked… a lot in class today. Any reason?"

"Not really. I just felt like speaking my mind for once."

They cleaned in silence for a moment. "Soooo… Want to come over to my place? Get some ramen after this, or something?" asked Mika.

"Sure I guess. Not much else to do is there?"

"Nope! Let's hurry up and finish." When they were done, they walked done the shady path to Mika's house.

'This seems so familiar…" thought Sasuke. "Why do you live all the way back here?"

"Just because, I guess. I like it, though, it's really peaceful."

"It is, isn't it?"

Before they walked into her home by the river, Mika asked, "You aren't allergic to cats, are you?" She already knew the answer.

"No."

"Okay, good." When she opened the door, a little black-and-white cat came rushing out to greet them. Miko purred rhythmically.

'Why do I feel like I've been here before?' he thought. "Your parents home?" 'God, what a dumb question, you idiot!' he said to himself.

"Yes and no. My parents are umm, gone. They're right there." she said pointing to the graves in the garden.

"Oh, mine are dead to."

"I know. And your brother…" her voice trailed off. "I'm sorry, I know you don't like to talk about it.

"It's okay, I guess… Who told you?"

"I have my ways, Sasuke." 'Yeah ways of being there!' she thought.

"Soooo, uhh, yeah." said Sasuke.

"Mew!"

"Uhh, so, you hungry?"

"Yeah, sure, I guess."

"Good!" she exclaimed, pulling out 2 bowls of ramen. They went out to the table by the river to eat. They made small talk. Mika told him about the incident with Naruto earlier that day.

"…So as you can see, I've found more than one use for my journal!" she chuckled.

"I'm starting to remember a lot of stuff that my mother showed me when I was little. (A/N: about the flute)"

"That's good."

"I don't have anything going on this weekend. Can I possibly stay at over? I get lonely… and bored."

"What about your Fan Club?"

"So you're trying to tell me that getting mauled be love-sick girls is fun?"

"Nooo, but it sure isn't boring!"

"You have a point…"

"It's a good source of exercise."

"Again, you have a point…"

"And you know that they'll be looking for you."

"Annnnnnd? Like they'll look for me about three miles into the woods of Kohona?"

"Okay, now you have a point."

"So back to the matter at hand, can I stay over?"

"I think… Let me check my calendar…" Mika looked up at the sky. "I think I'm free!"

"Great."
