Naruto Warriors Series
Chapter Two
Kit School
I followed Neji toward the bracken of thorns, and was a bit scared at first. All of these pairs of eyes were following her the whole way. "Why are they staring at me like that?" I wondered. I mean I was just a kit wasn't I? I burned red under my pelt. I think Neji could sense my awkwardness.
"Don't bother with them, they're just curious,"Neji told her with a comforting glance looking back at me. I felt hotter under my pelt. He's worried about me now? Back at the nursery; he tried to murder me!
"OH! No, No! It's just I'm not used to being stared at", I glanced down at the ground as I stopped beside him; "I have never seen so many cats in the same place." And again, I felt embarrassed.
"Oh, I see", Neji said turning back toward the thorns, and began walking again. I ran and caught up with him. We entered the thorns, but I entered with cautious. Neji looked back again,
"Don't worry, there's only a few other kits in school right now." He reassured. Tenten calmed down a little, but then a fuzzy, shiny, black fuzz-ball showed up in front of her.
"Yosh! Hello fellow kit! I am (A/N: Guess who?) Rock Lee of the Fire Clan! I will be the most powerful of them all!" He yelled proudly in her face. He sat very straight in front of her. I got so freaked out; usually a she-kit would hide behind something, but not me.
I jumped back, my fur all fired up and sheathed my claws out again and hissed in this new cat's face. I then jumped on top of him, and we rolled around in the grass. Neji came in between of the both of us, and yowled at me, "What the heck are you doing?" I looked at him as if he were crazy.
"What do you think I'm doing? Why the heck did he do that to me?" I yowled back at him, still hissing at Lee; who apparently was still stunned with her sudden attack.
"He's Rock Lee, he does that to everyone!"He snapped at me. I look at Lee, then Neji, then back at Neji again. Then, I looked down at the ground; "Sorry about that Lee, I didn't mea-" I was cut off from Rock Lee standing up very quickly in front of me again, only bowing this time.
"It is okay! It was completely my fault for scaring you! You are a worthy opponent!"He shouted at the ground. This time I was stunned. I look at Neji for an answer, but he just shrugged at me to go with it. "Oh, okay", I agreed. Lee looked up at me; black, no pupil eyes sparkling.
"Yosh! I am forgiven!"He smiled real wide,"Oh! I must ask, since you know my name, what is yours?" I looked into his eyes with admiration; he was up so fast after that attack I gave him. I was impressed.
"My name is Tenten, and I'm impressed with your fighting!"I said to him proudly. Lee look at me with admiration too,"Tenten! What a beautiful name!"I felt hot again, "and I am impressed with your fighting too; attacked me when least expected!" (A/N: This is a Nejiten! Not LeeTen! This is just a friendly comment from Lee to Tenten!)
I looked around, and saw no one else in the "school". I turned to Neji and Lee and asked them, "Are we the only kits here?" Neji and Lee both nodded, and took a long look around.
"Yup, just the three of us," Neji said looking back up at me.
"It used to be just the two of us, didn't it Neji?" Lee said looking at Neji with smiling eyes.
"Yeah," Neji agreed. We were all quiet for a moment. Then I heard a yowl that was shockingly loud. I was so used to all the yowling, it wasn't even funny. I turned to see a big cat coming our way. Man, almost all cats look so big then I do! I felt so…. small.
The cat that was coming toward us was a dark tan with a huge scar across the bridge of his nose, a darker brown belly and tail, and surprisingly; very kind eyes. So many questions were going through my head: Where did that scar come from? Who is he? Is he as kind as his eyes? Why am I asking so many questions in my head? I snapped into reality when the cat spoke,
"My name is Iruka-sensei, and you must be Tenten,"he said gazing at me with those warm, kind eyes. All I could do was nod and play with my paws.
"Neji escorted you, I am guessing?"He continued, looking at Neji teasingly. Neji blushed through his white pelt, visible to everyone. I blushed again myself; I was slightly embarrassed as well.
"My mother wanted me too, after I tackled her down in the nursery," Neji snapped back at his sensei.
"Yes, yes, of course," Iruka agreed, still with a twinkle of humor in his eyes. Neji noticed this and his pelt fluffed up with anger. I chuckled slightly to myself; it was funny seeing Neji getting all riled up. He turned and glared at me. I stopped immediately.
"So, you also met Lee, I presume?" Iruka inquired. Tenten chuckled again, aloud and nodded her head with enthusiasm. Iruka laughed with her; that must happen a lot, what Lee does to say hi to new comers. Neji was also smiling a little; so he does have a heart!
"So," I said to Iruka-kun,"what do you do you do here in kit school?" I asked. Neji and Lee sat up straighter. Iruka-kun looked at them with pride of every sensei should have to his students.
"I will teach you battle strategies, how to hunt, and how to become a great warrior someday." Iruka told me. I nodded understanding. Iruka walked over toward Neji and Lee's ears, and whispered to them something softly. They nodded and they walked to a small clearing and they both hunched down on their hind legs.
"What are they doing?" I whispered Iruka-kun. He shushed me gently, and told me to watch. I did what I was told. They both leap in the air at the same time, and pounce on an imaginary mouse; which was a pair of leaves.
I just watch amazed; they did it with such speed and agility. Neji was slightly faster than Lee though. Wait, what? How did I notice something so little such as that? I was blushing again; and Iruka-kun noticed it too.
"Don't worry Tenten, you will catch up to them soon," He promised. I was relieved he didn't know the real reason I blushed; but this just made me blush harder. He looked from me to Neji, and back to me again. He then chuckled to himself as I ran to join Lee and Neji.
"I guess you can never stop young love" he thought smiling at Neji and I as we all talked together; with jokes, and attacks.
After I was 6 moons, I was finally old enough to become an apprentice. Now, the longer dark brown fur on my head is now up in to buns with grass and cobwebs; so I look like a mouse. But I grew in size, so no one called me "Mouse" anymore.
I loved training with Lee and Neji; they were the greatest friends anyone could have. I learned everything with them, and pretty soon I was caught up, and we were assigned to Gai Sensei as our mentor. I was so excited for this; I wonder what will happen to us now?
I never remembered of how I got to the Fire Clan; I never remembered what happened to the place where I came before. I don't even remember if I came from anywhere else than the Fire Clan. This place was my home now; even if I was an orphan. At least I had Neji and Lee to be friends with.
I still have a crush on Neji; ever since the first day we met. I did since kit hood; and I probably will for the rest of my apprentice hood. I wonder how he feels about me.
