A New Life

I'm back! Kinda..

Disclaimers will now on be at the bottom! Which means I don't own Naruto…

Chapter 2

I'll do a recap for the heck of it.

I felt the eyes of someone next to me seep through my skull. I looked over at Sasuke and caught him looking at me with concern. His onyx eyes were mesmerizing. I snapped out of it and tilted my head to the side saying 'what?' He started to blush and turned back to the movie, blush still on his cheeks. I looked out the window and stared at the clouds when the loud speaker started to announce our arrival in Kyoto. I buckled up and pulled out my book to read again.

-----------

I finished my book and looked out the window again. The view was amazing! Buildings were huge and stood proudly up and high. Sadly, the view didn't last long when we arrived at the airport. I grabbed my bag and unbuckled my seatbelt. We got up and were the first to get off the plane. I went to get my luggage and laptop. Once I got it, Sasuke offered to carry it so I handed him my suitcase. I exited the airport and met up with other people from the school. Apparently, the school was only a few blocks away from the airport. We walked down the sidewalk and they chatted on and on about things I didn't know about. Then, I noticed there were two people from my sketch. They were the ones that had the almost the same eyes. The boy with long brown hair was talking to Sasuke and the girl was walking alongside of me. "Hi, what your name, mines Yuri."

"M-my name's Hyuuga Hinata."

"Is he your brother or cousin?" I pointed to the boy and she started to get a bit nervous.

"H-He's my cousin; I call him nii-san though. His name is Hyuuga Neji."

"Oh, let me guess, he's over-protective about you?"

"Sorta."

We got to the school and I was amazed at how big it was, even though it was a boarding school. Hinata showed me to my room with Sasuke and Neji following behind. When I entered, I noticed there was only one bedroom. I started to panic and wondered how many beds there were. I headed into the bedroom as calmly as I could. When I entered, there were two beds. 'Phew!'

I set my stuff down next to the bed where it looked like it hasn't been touched for ages and sat on the bed. I left the room, deciding not to unpack until later. I saw that Hinata was about to leave when I called her name. She turned back to me. "Could you show me around?"

She nodded. We exited my dorm and started the little tour.

We toured the whole school and I forgot half the things she said. I sighed as I fell on my bed. Sasuke was out training with Neji. They seemed pretty close friends and their attitudes were quit similar; Neji was nicer though. I decided to start unpacking. There were drawers next to my bed and there was a bathroom near my bed. I brought my laptop out into the living room. There was a couch, TV, and two work tables. I set my comp on the empty desk. I ran back into the room and emptied my bag a bit. I took out my notebooks, iPod, some supplies, and one of the sketchbooks. I brought those to the table too. I finished unpacking and fell onto my bed again and sighed. I decided to take a shower and started to search through my drawer. I pulled out a black hoodie, a red tee, and beige capris. I walked in the bathroom and took my clothes off. I unwrapped some bandages on my arms and legs and entered the shower. Soon after, I turned the faucet off and wrapped a towel around me, drying myself in the process other then hiding my body. I finished drying myself and wrapping the bandages around my arms. I looked down at my legs and saw that it still has some bruises but no cuts. I decided that it didn't need to be bandaged and put my clothes on. Just as I finished putting on my capris, I heard the door to the room open and close. I grabbed a dry towel and started to dry my hair. I walked out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around my neck and dirty clothes in hand. I saw that Sasuke was looking through his drawers. I put my dirty clothes in an empty drawer and went to the living room. I looked up at the clock and saw that it was just about 2. 'I didn't have lunch; oh well. I'll just have to wait 'till dinner.'

I turned on the TV and started to watch some anime in Japanese to improve it. I felt my hair dry so I returned the towel into my room and grabbed a grey, knit hat and put it on. The hat almost covered my eyes so I kept adjusting it. Sasuke came out of the bathroom in a white t-shirt with an unbutton, tan shirt and he wore beige pants. (A/N: couldn't think of a better way to describe it.)

-FF-

A few weeks have passed and it was winter break. 'Tomorrow's Christmas I don't have anything to do!'

I wondered around the track, thinking about what my friends were doing. "Let's see, Gaara's away with his siblings, Neji and Hinata are away on a ski trip, Shikamaru is spending winter break with Temari, Kiba's here I think, Naruto's off with Iruka-sensei, and Sasuke… he's staying here." I wondered out loud.

"I heard my name!" I heard someone call from behind me.

I spun around on my heel and saw Kiba with Akamaru behind me, running up to me. "Are you finally thinking about my request?"

"Let's see… no. I was just thinking about what I'll do during Christmas tomorrow. Want to come go around town with me today? Maybe buy some presents for the heck of it."

"If it's a date, sure!"

"Date, no! Just as friends, yes."

"Fine, at least I get to be with you!"

"Why don't you just GIVE UP!"

"How come you like Akamaru but not me?"

"Because Akamaru is cute and a dog. Who can't resist a dog or even a puppy!?"

"The Witches of Kyoto Junior High."

We burst out laughing after Kiba made that comment. "Ok, back to the topic, why don't you want to go out with me? Name three things you dislike about me."

"Let's see, one, you're so perverted, two, you act really weird sometimes, and three,…um…"

"Hah! If you can name three good qualities, we're calling it a date."

"Fine, fine. Let's see, um.. there's your dog, you're sweet, and… I guess your jokes can be a bit funny. Oh wait, I just named three… kuso…!" I mumbled the last part.

"Hah! Maybe you'll finally learn tolike me?"

"Ahem, maybe."

We walked off the track and went towards the dormitory. "Come get me at, like, in an hour I guess."

"It's a date."

"Enough already, geez…"

He grinned at me one last time and sped off to his dorm. I walked to my dorm and saw Sasuke watching TV. "Hey Sasuke, want anything special for Christmas?"

"Not really, why? Going Christmas shopping at the last minute for the heck of it?"

"Whoa! How'd you know? But, yeah, I am."

He chuckled and waved his hand saying 'Don't worry about getting me anything.'

I just nodded my head to particularly no one and went into my-our- room and took a shower. I changed into a dark blue shirt and black jeans. I left the room and joined Sasuke on the couch. He started to have light blush on his cheeks. I looked at him questioningly. 'She has no clue, does she?' Sasuke thought. 'She is so clueless about the people around her. That's what makes her so cute…I'm freaking myself out…'

I got up and went over to my work table. The whole table was covered in my drawings and some stories. In the corner, was a mini-Christmas tree. It was decorated with small charms like a Santa Claus charm or a mistletoe charm. At the very top was a small angel. 'She looks just like mom used to…'

Just then, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get that Sasuke!"

I pecked him on the cheek and opened the door. I turned around and told him it was an American thing, especially when you're happy. I turned back around and didn't get to see his face, just like a red apple except, without the stem and leaf. "So, where to first?" I asked.

"How about the weapon store?" (A/N: Gym they have ninja classes.)

"You're always thinking about training and fighting! Why don't you give it a rest and go for the Jewelry Store?"

"Hey, you're the one that asked."

We went to the Jewelry Store and bought some things for Hinata and Temari. We then went to the weapon store and bought things for Neji, Gaara, and TenTen. "Why don't you get something for your roommate?"

"I don't know what to get him. I mean, I even know what to get you and Naruto. You two aren't that different."

"I resent that!"

I giggled at him and we walked back to school. He walked me to my dorm and pecked my cheek. "Just an american thing, right?"

I let a little blush show on my face. I nodded weakly and waved bye. My blush faded soon and I entered the dorm. When I did, I saw that it was quiet and a bit dark. I turned on the lights and saw some decorations in the room like a reef was hanging on the deck window thing. I went over to our room and saw a mistletoe at the top of the door. Just then, Sasuke opened the door. "You like the decorations? You kept whining about it so I decided to put some up."

"I didn't whine! Ok maybe a little but still! And I never said anything about a mistletoe."

"You never said I couldn't put one up and besides, we're under one right now so…"

Sasuke was a bit nervous but went right ahead to look down and lift my chin. Our lips met soon after and we held it longer then we both expected. When we broke apart, we were panting a bit. I let the blush consume my face as well as Sasuke's. "First kiss?"

I nodded then entered the room and sat down on my bed. I set the presents down and looked out the window. (A/N: Magical window pops out of no where to grant you a wish! 0.o) It was snowing outside. My eyes widened and I accidentally ran into Sasuke. "It's snowing!! It's never snowed in California!!" (A/N: It might have but I'm just saying it didn't for this story.)

"Really?"

"Yeah."

I grabbed a sweater and ran outside. I started picking up some snow in my hand. It was freezing! I dropped the snow quickly because it was cold. I looked up and around and spotted Kiba and Akamaru coming my way. "You're acting as if this was your first time seeing pure white snow."

"It is."

Akamaru started barking and running around in the snow, making a trail behind him. We laughed as he started to get piled up by snow. Just then, I felt snow collide against my cheek. I looked around for who did it and saw Sasuke juggling a snowball up and down in his hand. I playfully glared at him and then a snowball fight erupted between me, Sasuke, and Kiba. Akamaru was just running around, trying not to get hit.

It's been about an hour and the fight ended with me and Sasuke in a tie and Kiba dead last, Akamaru even was better at dodging a snowball than him. We went back to our dorms and changed into dry clothes then went out into to town to eat dinner. We ended up going to a café. The whole dinner through I stared at the piano that stood, waiting for someone to play it. I decided to try it so I went to the woman behind the counter and asked her I could play a song or two on it. Maybe even work part-time in the café for either entertainment or just being a waitress.

"I don't know, I'll have to talk it over with my boss. I'll be right back."

She went to the door behind her and came out later. "He said sure. You can start when now if you'd like, tomorrow we have off because it's Christmas. He says you only need to work for about 2 hours."

"Ok, thanks!"

I ran back to my table and announced to them about my new job. "Where?"

"Here, where else?"

"Awesome! When do you start?"

"Now if I want and do I!"

I waved to them and ran up to the stage. I grabbed the microphone. "Hello, I'm Yuri and I will be playing some songs on different instruments of your choice. For today I will play the piano. Does anyone have a request?"

I looked out in the crowd as they piled up infront of me. I bent down and got a few. I sat down at the seat and started to play the songs they requested. After I finished playing each song, I heard clapping and sometimes a whistle for some reason. (A/N: She has no clue about love because of the massacre.) After the last song was finished, I bowed and walked off stage. I saw Sasuke and Kiba still at the same table as before. "You play really well. Since when were you ever good at it?" Kiba asked.

"Can't you just appreciate my musical talent?" I joked.

"Since when were you the joker?" Sasuke asked.

"Since I met Kiba."

"I'll take that as a complement."

"See?"

Me and Sasuke started laughing and Kiba was pouting. We got back to school and invited Kiba to our dorm. "You want to stay for the night?" I asked

"Sure!"

"You can bunk on the couch." Sasuke said.

"No, I'll bunk on the couch, you can stay in my bed!"

"But-but-but…"

"Don't worry about it, I don't mind."

"Ok…"

"Just let me change."

I rushed into the room and grabbed my clothes. I went in the bathroom and changed. I came out wearing a black tank top and blue pants. My hair was in a low ponytail. I walked out and saw Sasuke getting ready to sleep. He was in his boxers. (A: 0.o) I walked out of the room before I could start to blush. I still wasn't used to seeing him half naked. When I got to the living room, I saw Kiba without his jacket on for once. He looked really cute. Sadly, I knew the blush had to show up at one point or another and it decided to show up now. He was sitting on the couch. "Are you sure about this? I think you should keep your bed."

"Ok, ok, ok! I might not even sleep there at all."

"And why is that?"

"I'll be at my little world over there."

I pointed to my desk and walked over. "You an artist or somethin'?"

"Actually, I'm an artist slash writer."

"What can't you do?"

"Um…dress up for a dance. Actually, I don't even like dances or parties so, there's one."

"You're a weird little girl, you know? Even TenTen and Temari like parties and they are the only two closest to a tomboy. You, you're a total tomboy."

"Does that mean you'll quit asking me to be your girlfriend?"

"No, your tomboy-ness makes it all the better."

"Ugh! Whatever."

I started to draw a picture and saw that I was drawing me with Sasuke, dancing under a spotlight. I was wearing a dress that went down to my ankles. I was wearing a strapless, black dress. Sasuke was wearing a tux. 'He looks kinda hot in a tux. Why am I even wearing a dress?!'

I looked up and saw that Kiba fell asleep on the couch. I took one last look at the drawing and then put it in a drawer, incase Kiba saw it and thought I liked Sasuke more than him. To tell you the truth, I didn't know who I liked the most. I don't think Sasuke even really likes me. There's also Gaara and Neji...

I hope you like this chapter! I think this is almost 4 pages! A NEW RECORD! (I think)
