Chapter 2

"What class do you have next?" Kiba asked.

Kenshin looked at a copy of her schedule and said, "Art with Mr. Hatake."

"Oh, cool, I do too." Kiba replied.

Kenshin sighed, "Can you show me where his class is?"

Kiba smiled. "Sure, let me see your schedule." The girl gave it to him, wondering why he wanted to see it. "Whoa, we have a lot a lot of classes together," he said. Kenshin snatched the schedule and looked at it.

"Really, which ones?" she asked.

"We have art, gym, science, and math together. Here's the art room." Kiba stated.

Kenshin smiled. "Thanks," she said. They walked in together, Kiba sat down at his seat but Kenshin went to the front of the room to see Mr. Hatake. He had silver hair and a scarf covering most of his face. Mr. Hatake looked up from the orange book he was reading. When he looked up he was lightly blushing and giggling. Kenshin tilted her head slightly to the right in confusion.

"Mr. Hatake, what are you reading?" Kenshin asked.

Mr. Hatake cleared his throat, and trying to change the subject he said, "You must be our new student. And please, call me Kakashi."

"Um, alright, uh… Kakashi," she smiled slightly. Kakashi stood up to get the classes attention.

"Alright kids, this is our new student, please introduce yourself. Tell us a little bit about yourself too." Kenshin gave Kakashi a look that said, 'Do I have to?!' she hated this part of going to a new school.

The black-haired girl turned to face the class and smiled before saying, "Hi, my name is Kenshin Kuroarashi; it's nice to meet you all. Let's see… something about me… well, I like music!" All of the students looked at her like she was crazy, except for Kiba who began to snicker. "Two things; one: Shut up Puppy. Two: I know, my name is strange."

Kiba stood up and shouted irately, "Don't call me that!"

Kenshin laughed and Kakashi said, "Inuzuka, calm down. Kenshin, sit over there." He pointed to the back of the room at the only available seat. In this class, there weren't individual desks, but tables with 4-5 kids at it. At Kenshin's new table, there were 4 other kids. There were two boys and two girls. One boy had a bowl cut and bushy eyebrows. The other boy had long, brown hair and pale grey eyes. One of the girls had long, blond hair pulled back in a ponytail. The other girl had here brown hair put up in two buns on the top of her head. Kenshin sat next to the boy with the long, brown hair.

Kakashi just sighed, "Alright, continue the assignment from yesterday, Neji, explain the assignment to Kenshin please."

The brown-haired boy said, "Yes sir," and nodded.

Kenshin turned and smiled. "So, you're name is Neji."

The boy nodded. "My name is Neji Hyuuga, everybody else, introduce yourselves."

The boy with the bowl cut grinned widely and did a thumbs up. "My name is Rock Lee; it is nice to meet you Kenshin!" The black-haired girl smiled.

The brunette girl then said, "My name is Ten-Ten. It's nice to have another girl at the table."

Then the blond said, "I'm Ino Yamanaka."

Kenshin nodded. "It's nice to meet you all."

Ino scoffed. "I heard you were talking to Sasuke at lunch today," she said moodily. Kenshin just nodded, hoping this wasn't one of Sasuke's fan girls. Ino 'humped' and said, "You listen to me, you are not getting Sasuke, he is mine and no new girl is going to take him away. Got it?"

Kenshin laughed and said, "You think I like Sasuke? Ha! He's just a friend; I don't like him or anything. Plus, I've come to understand he doesn't like you idiotic fan girls anyway." Kenshin smirked then. Ino just turned her head to the side in annoyance.

Neji cleared his throat to get the new girl's attention, "Well, let me explain what we are currently working on. All you have to do is close your eyes. Whatever the first thing you see, you draw it." Kenshin thanked Neji and got her sketch book and pencils and closed her eyes to think. When something came to mind, she blushed and thought, 'Why is that coming to mind?'

Then she poked Neji and asked, "Um, is anybody going to see this?"

"Just Kakashi-sensei of course." Neji flatly said. Kenshin thought to herself, 'Then I guess it is okay to draw that, it is the first thing that came to mind.' Kenshin then turned to her left and looked across the room at Kiba for inspiration. She saw Kiba laughing and thought that was perfect. She took a mental picture of him laughing so she could draw it. Kenshin closed her eyes again so that she could see her mental picture easier. She opened her eyes and began to draw.
