Chapter 2: First day of school

"Okay everyone!" Raiku-sensei said stepping in to class. "We have a new student with us. Come on in Yue." A few gasps rang out in the classroom as a beautifully lithe girl of 10 stepped in. Her alabaster skin was smooth as far as the eyes could see, long jet black hair flowed to her hips in a ponytail with 3 red stripes in it, her hands were covered in white bandages, she wore a cute mini-kimono that went half way down her thighs, in the slits you could see she was wearing black shorts and she wore black knee-length boots. Her blood red eyes scanned the rows of children as she strolled into the classroom. The air was thick with fear, and no one could say anything. Then the teacher broke the silence.

"Yue. Would you like to introduce yourself?"

Yue nodded and smiled so sweetly she looked almost innocent. Almost. "Hello. My name is Yue Hio. Nice to meet you all." That was it. She had the whole class mesmerised in her charming smile. The only boy who was not already falling head over heels for her was the ever-stoic Itachi. He streched insouciantly.

"Now. To find you a place and a partner. Ah. It seems that theres only one left. Would you mind being Itachi's partner? He may seem a little rough around the edges and uncouth and uncaring but he's okay." The teacher looked up to find Itachi glaring at him, stuck out his tongue and was shocked when Itachi gave him the finger.

"I'm fine with it sir. I'm lookin forward to my time here." She said smiling slyly to Itachi who just glared back.

-English lesson-

Itachi was late for lesson.

"Uchiha Itachi! My worse student! You Are LATE!!! Read! Read page 24. Yes, that poem I told you to go home and read as homework which I don't even think you bothered to read. Read it."

Itachi sauntered in and took out his book. There were some boys behind him that sniggered. He turned around and glared holes into them. They stopped and looked away.

"Th...The Sta...Stars...Twink...Twinkle...Twinkled..."

"STOP!!!!! That was horrendous! You may be a prodigy in everything else but English is your worst subject! You! New girl! Just because you are new doesn't mean you can slack off. Read it for this illiterate dummy!"

"Shut up old man. You aren't using English. Never heard you. How do we know you can even speak."

"Because I can!" The teacher replied in fluent english.

"May I?" Yue stood up.

"Yes."

"The stars twinkled in the dark crystalized sky, the moon casting beams of silver over the clear, pristine snow. The lovers walked across and, despite the cold wilderness that surrounded them, felt as warm as if they sat at their cosy hearth drinking cocoa. Ah, the fire of love is strong in these two. This unbreakable bond that streches to eternity..."

When she stopped, the teacher was weeping and her classmates were staring at her with their jaws so wide they could have touched the floor. Even the Uchiha was staring at her. Finally, the teacher said,

"Finally! Someone who can speak english more fluently then I!!! Itachi you learn from her! Or better yet. Yue, could you help me tutor this illiterate bonehead."

Before Itachi could open his mouth (he just closed it), Yue agreed, smirking at the irritated Uchiha.

One day went by and she managed to grab the attention of everyone in the school. The teachers all thought highly of her and Itachi became yesterday's news. Or so she thought...

-After school-

Yue was just leaving,

"Yue."

She turned to stare into the Uchiha's eyes.

"Yes?" she said smirking and feeling light-headed from all the flattery.

"The game is still on. You haven't won yet. This. Is. Not. Over."

Yue stared at him for a moment.

"Yeah whatever. Hey, about that english tution... How about tommorow? It's a saturday. We can have it every Saturday if you want..."

"I..." Itachi didn't want to have that girl near him but for the sake of his grades...

"Fine. What time...?"

"Morning? Say 9am? we could break for lunch then continue to 6pm. I'd like to practice sparring with you as well. Is that alright Uchiha?"

"Okay then. My place. You know where it is right?" He asked.

Itachi smiled when he noticed the surprised look in her eyes. She obviously didn't know. She just came here and she had never been to Konoha before that.

"I know where you live. I'll pick you up." He said.

For a moment there they put aside their rivalry. Not.

Yue smiled to her self and smirked up at the moon as she thought to herself,

'Playing mindgames are we? Good. This'll be soooo fun..."
