Okay you guys know how Japanese schedules change from day to day weeeelllll that's too much for me to remember so I'm thinking of making one schedule for the whole week for each of them. Oh and you people who keep telling me to make Naruto break up with Miyuki calm down…just remember I love happy endings. And last time I checked the description says DRAMA so of course I gotta have a girl that will interfere with Naruto and Hinata's relationship.

"Now I understand that you girls don't like each other but what if one of you had been seriously hurt?" She was talking to us as if we were children. Spreading each word out making sure we understood each one. I saw through the side of my eye Kimura-san just shrug. I chose to stay silent with my head bowed. I never noticed before, but I had three freckles on my knee. I also notice my shoes were scuffed a little. And was my skirt always this blue and was my shirt this wrinkled when I put it on this morning?
When neither of us answered she sighed. I looked up enough to see her. She leaned her cheek on her hand and looked at us in pity. "It's the first day of school…and you two get in a fight." She sighed again this time harder. She opened up some manila folders that where on her desk. She glanced at the first. Closed it. Then did the same with the second. "Neither of you have been in fights, suspended, or in any kind of real trouble." She carefully examined us. My head was starting to hurt. I was supposed to be in my social studies class taught by Asuma Sarutobi. But instead I was here…being watched.
"Since it's the first day of school and I have a headache I'll let you girls off with a mild punishment." We waited. It wasn't everyday you got a mild punishment for getting in a fight so dangerous that blood was drawn. "You two will clean the Art room after school for the rest of this week starting tomorrow. I'll inform Jiraya later." She said smirking. Was she serious? She was going to leave us with that teacher after school. I had nothing against teachers in general but this teacher was a pervert. The way he talked it was disgusting almost.
"Leave and get to class. Have Shizune, my assistant, give you a pass to class." She waved her hand shooing us out. I hadn't noticed an assistant but when sure enough there she was. With a…what was that? "Oink oink" There was a pig in school. That was insane. She put the pig down on the floor gently and asked us where we were heading then wrote us both passes. Kimura-san to Math with Iruka-sensei (who I had second period) and me to social studies.
Class was about twenty minutes in session and I was already five extra minutes late because I didn't want to go to class just yet. So I snuck into the girl's bathroom and checked out my wound. It wasn't all that bad and when my bangs covered it you couldn't see it at all. When I got to the classroom the teacher paused for a second took my pass ripped it and threw it in the trash. He told me to go seat at the last vacant seat by the window.
I was sitting next to a guy who had bright red hair and vacant green eyes. "Hi I'm Hinata." I said whispering. He glanced at me. The way he was sitting was weird. It was like he was sitting up straight but at the same time he was slouching. "I'm Gaara." I tried to think of something to say to him but he seemed…anti-social mixed with emo mixed with shyness. I could relate with the shyness but I don't think he would like me bringing that up.
I refocused on the lesson. Something about Kaguya Hime no Monogatari (The Tale of Princess Kaguya). (A/n I'll explain so don't freak. if you already know the story skip it.) Apparently a childless bamboo cuter was going through the bamboo fields when he saw a glowing bamboo stalk. He cut it open and found a baby the size of a thumb. He took the beautiful baby home with him to his wife. They called her Kaguya-hime. She grew to be very beautiful. The bamboo cuter tried to hide her from the village but eventually rumors of her beauty spread. One day when she was old enough five princes came to marry her. They eventually had the bamboo cuter to tell Kaguya-hime to choose one of the five.
She told the bamboo cuter to tell the five princes that she wanted them to each bring her something and whoever got her what she asked she would marry that man. The first was told to bring her the stone begging bowl of the Buddha from India. The second was told to retrieve a jeweled branch from the island of Penglai. The third was told to seek the legendary robe of the fire-rat of China. The fourth must retrieve a colored jewel from a dragon's neck. The final prince was told to find the seashell treasure of the swallows.
The first three tried to trick her making believe that they had gotten what she asked but she noticed they were fake. The fourth gave up and the fifth died. The emperor fell in love with her as well and like the others she denied him.
She kept in touch though. One day she told her adoptive parents she was not of this world and must go back to the moon. She was sent to earth as a punishment of some sort. Kaguya-hime left her parents a note and the emperor also got one too. She gave her parents her robes as a memento. She attached a small portion of Elixir of life to the letter to the emperor. When the emperor read the letter he asked his guard what was the closest mountain to heaven. Which one replied Great Mountain of Suruga Province. He wrote a reply to Kaguya-Hime and told his guards to take it to the mountain and burn it in hope she would get it.
The men were also commanded to burn the pot of elixir of life since the Emperor did not desire to live forever without being able to see her. Apparently the legend has it that the word immortality, Fuji, became the name of the mountain, Mount Fuji. It is also said that the kanji for the mountain, comes from the Emperor's army ascending the slopes of the mountain to carry out his order. It is said that the smoke from the burning still rises to this day.
That story was so sad. I looked around and saw some of the girls had tears in their eyes. I sighed and leaned on my cheek. Gaara turned towards me with a questioning look on his face. "What's the matter?"…He was actually striking up a conversation with me. I take back what I said about him being anti-social. "I just think it would be nice for someone to give up a chance of immortality just because they couldn't be with me." He gave me another look before he turned around to face the teacher.
There was a knock on the door and Kurenai-sensei walked in. I had her right before lunch. I had to admit she was beautiful with ruby red eyes and black hair, pale skin. She could be a model. "Um Asuma…-san the copy machine is broken…I was wondering if you would help me fix it?" I think I saw Asuma-sensei blush a little just now. He coughed, nodded towards Kurenai-sensei and turned his attention back towards us. "I'll be back as soon as I can class but for the mean time…ah Shikamaru you're in charge." Then he left right behind Kurenai-sensei. As soon as the door closed people just started talking. I don't think putting Shikamaru in charge was the best idea because he wouldn't care what anyone did as long as he didn't have to work.
"Hey Hinata! Come over here!" I looked up and glanced the room and I saw in the far corner a guy waving his hand. Kiba. He was surrounded by a whole bunch of other people I only recognized Ten-ten and Kiba. When I got over there Kiba was still talking so I decided to talk to Ten-ten. "Ten-ten-san aren't you older than us?" She looked embarrassed for a second. "Yeah, well I kind of failed this class last time I took it so I gotta take it again."
"Yea, she's not the brightest bulb in the warehouse." Kiba said joining in our conversation. "Wanna say that again Inuzuka?" She glared at him and he raised his hands in defense. "I was kidding."
"Um, Hi I'm Hinata." There were three guys I didn't know in this group. One had these freakishly weird eyebrows another was just eating chips getting crumbs all over his uniform and the last had afro like hair and black sunglasses. "Yosh, I am Rock Lee the mighty soccer beast of Konoha High!" He said pointing towards himself. "I'm" Munch munch. "Choji Akimichi." His breath smelt just like barbeque chips. "I'm shino." The way he said it made it seem like it was sort of incomplete I guess.
We were all getting along great. At one point Shikamaru came and talked and joked with us but then he got bored and went back to his desk to sleep. Which we just laughed at. My headache went away some but laughing so much was bringing it back. I touched my forehead only to flinch from the pain. Kiba noticed. "Hinata what's wrong?" He moved closer towards me and put his hand gently on my forehead and lifted my bangs up. By now everyone was watching. His eyes opened wide and he dropped his hand. "Who did this?" The anger in his voice surprised me. I didn't want to blame Kimura-san for this because in a way I deserved this, for spitting on her. "Who?" I flinched a bit and he apologized but asked his question again. Quieter this time.
"Miyuki Kimura, Naruto-kun's girlfriend." I think Kiba understood the situation. I think. I didn't have a chance to ask him because Asuma-Sensei came back into the class. He was wiping his oil covered hands on a rag. "Sit down you guys." There was only about ten minutes of class left. Not enough time for a full lesson so he told us to have self study. I glanced a Gaara a few times. I had noticed that while I was talking to everyone no one had approached Gaara. I felt bad and I brought back the anti-social ness to the list. Did he have any friends?
"Sensei!" On of the girls in the back yelled to him. "What?" He said looking up from his magazine. "You have a stain on your collar." She was right. It was a pale rose color…the same color as Kurenai-sensei's lipstick. I think everyone realized the same thing as me because I heard a chorus of Oh's around the classroom and Asuma sensei just blushed and ignored us. The guys of course wouldn't give up that easily. They kept asking questions.
"Gaara-san what class do you have next?" He only glanced at me. "Gym." I was actually surprised he answered me I wasn't expecting him to. "Me too. Do you wanna walk together to we get to the locker rooms?" This time he turned all the way towards me. "Why?" I was surprised by his sudden hostility towards me. "B-because you seemed lonely so I thought y-you might want someone to talk with or something." He was making me so scared that I started that old habit that I tried so hard to get rid of it.
"Well you were wrong. I'm not lonely." I returned to dejectedly reading my book. "But we can walk together. If you want." I smiled at him. The bell rang, Gaara started walking off but I still had to get my uniform out of my bag. Sometimes I hated this school because they made it somewhat like an American school. Where we changed classrooms periodically. But then I remembered that I wanted to go to The U.S so I had to get used to American traditions. I got my uniform and ran out the door and looked to my left and there was Gaara…he actually waited for me.
That was sweet of him. The girls where changing in classroom 103 and the boys 126. So Gaara dropped me off to the classroom and I said see you later but he didn't say anything back. I sighed and walked into the classroom and saw every head turn towards me. Probably to make sure I wasn't a guy. When they saw me they turned back to what they were doing. I chose the desk farthest away from the window. I put my stuff down on my desk.
A bag was placed on the desk next to mine. I looked up and saw pink hair. "Sakura-Chan! You have gym too?" I hadn't had any classes with Sakura yet and it was already the last period of the day I thought I wouldn't have any classes with her. "Yep! But unfortunately your fighting partner does too." She gestured behind her. I really hoped she wasn't here but sure enough I saw her light brown hair. I was hoping she wouldn't be in anymore of my classes. Kimura-san saw me looking and glared.
I turned my attention back to my uniform. Sakura was still watching me. I wondered if she hated Kimura-san or not. She looked at me a little longer before shrugging and working on putting her gym uniform on. I took off my navy blue tie that had the school symbol pressed at the end of the tie. Then I unzipped my skirt and let it fall to the floor and put on the blue bloomers. I hated these things. They made the skinniest girl look like she had thunder thighs.
I yanked off my shirt and quickly put on the white t-shirt but it was too late. "Wow Hinata how come you didn't tell me you had such huge boobs?" Crap. This is what I was trying to avoid. I felt my cheeks warm. People were watching us because of Sakura's out burst. Some short girl with glasses came up to me. She had black hair with a bob haircut.
She grabbed my boob and it took a second for it to register before screamed a little and I pushed her away. Though not hard. She looked surprised that I pushed her away. Everyone was still watching us and I think my face looked like a cherry. "W-w-who are you?" She just blinked and ignored my question. She turned towards Sakura. "You're right. They are big."
She turned back towards me. "I'm Momoko Fujiwara." Then she walked out the classroom. We, the classroom, followed her because she seemed like she was in charge. Even though this school was basically like an American one the boys and girls gym classes were still separated. We had gym inside today. We were playing volleyball today. But I had to sit out because of the wound on my head.
This was boring just watching people play and not being able to do anything. I was leaning against the glass and I could see the guys playing. Apparently Sasuke had gym this period. Oh so did Lee. I didn't see Gaara anywhere though.
Fortunately I had got into watching the guys playing soccer so I didn't even notice that class was almost over. We bowed to the teacher and went back to change into our regular clothes. Then we went to our homeroom to have our ten minute class meeting.
I was glad the bell started ringing. I could finally go home. I didn't need to work because my father said he would pay for my living expenses as long as I got all 7 out 10 or better on my report card. I think that was a fair deal. Even though I didn't have to work I still applied for a job at the Coffee Shop. They hadn't called me back yet but I was hoping they would. I was so caught up in thinking that I ran into someone's back, which of course made my head hurt. "Ow ow ow." I hadn't seen who I bumped into because I was nursing my sore head.
"Ah, I'm sorry Hina-chan!" I knew that voice and only one person called me that. Naruto. My head was still bent. Next thing I know Naruto's face was about three inches away from mine which made me blush. "Are you okay Hina-chan?" I couldn't get any words out so I just nodded. He stood up straight again and I heard him sigh. "That's good because for a sec I thought I hurt you." I looked up and smiled glad for his concern.
I looked around him. "Naruto-kun where's Kimura-san?" I was concerned I just wanted to know if they were walking home together. He looked a little surprised that I had asked. "She lives in the opposite direction as me so she went ahead with her friends." He said. He didn't look sad like a normal boyfriend would. "So I guess it just you and me! Since Sakura and Teme are going somewhere."
"Though they wouldn't tell me where" He muttered. I went to my shoe locker and switched my school shoes for my regular ones. Naruto was observing me. We got out of the school and I tried to walk behind Naruto because it was embarrassing walking home with him and I guess I was still mad at him from this morning. But whenever I slowed down he slowed down. Though I guess he got annoyed. "Stop doing that Hinata!"
"Doing what?" I said trying to play innocent. "Stop avoiding me." He stopped in front of me so I had to stop too. We were about a block away from the apartments and the street was empty. We were at the end and all we had to do was turn the corner and we would be there. "I'm not-" "Don't even say that you aren't because this whole day you keep walking away or running when you see me coming towards you." Had I been? Maybe subconsciously. But on purpose? Hmm? I don't know maybe on some level I was. I couldn't see Naruto's eyes. His head was bent.
He finally lifted his head up. His eyes they were filled with determination to understand. "And I wanna know why. Is it…is it because I'm going out with Miyuki?" I blushed from embarrassment from him finding out why I was avoiding him and mad. I avoided his eyes. My blush answered for me. "Would it help if I said I don't love her?" Yes. "No" I said lying.
"Well I'll say it anyways I don't love her." "Do you like her?" One of his eyebrows arched. "If I say yes you'll be hurt but if I say no I'll sound like a jerk." I looked in to eyes this time. Finally meeting his gaze. "Tell me Naruto, please?" He looked reluctant for a second. "I-I can't." He turned away from me and turned the corner.
"Oof." I went to go look what that noise was. Naruto looked shocked and I guess I would too if I had just run into the person I was dating after just having a conversation about them. Kimura-san had tears flowing down her face. "Miyuki what are you-" "I came t-to return your c-cell phone…" She sniffed really loudly. "You know I t-thought" Hiccup. "I would be a good g-girlfriend and r-return it to you." Sob. "P-please Naru-kun…answer her question, please." Naruto looked desperate. He was trapped.
"Um…" He began.
Man I feel bad for putting Miyuki through that. You guys might not feel that way but I feel that way though I'm still all for naruhina Idk. This chap is short I know but I'm lazy.
Sorry for the cliffhanger too...he he but you gotta save the best for the next chap right?
