"Now the hand signs for executing the transformation jutsu are…"
Kurai zoned out of Iruka's lesson. She had already perfected the art of transformation so she didn't feel the need to even pay an ounce of attention. She placed her head in her hands and set her elbows on the desk. Boy, is this a waste of time or what… She let out a frustrated sigh. She caught the blonde haired girl glaring at her from the next desk; I wonder what her problem is. Kurai mentally smacked herself in the head. Sasuke. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye. Sasuke was sitting back in his seat, arms folded across his chest with his bangs covering his eyes. Not paying attention either I see.
"Okay now I want all of you to line up and perform a transformation!"
Kurai let out another sigh before slowly standing and walking down the steps; Sasuke right behind her. When she reached the bottom she was greeted by several boys who wanted to stand next to her and several girls who were ready to attack her to get to Sasuke. Once the commotion died down you found yourself between the loud-mouth, orange clad boy and the bubble-gum haired girl. She could tell the pink haired girl was irritated that the blond girl was on the other side of Sasuke and that you were standing next to her. Typical. "Kurai you're up. If you can't do it, no worries; you won't be graded on it. Kurai took to steps forward then preformed the hand signs at lightning speed. "Transform!" POOF. Kurai had turned into a carbon copy of Iruka; down to every detail. "Flawless. Good job, Kurai," he said. Kurai undid the jutsu and returned to her place in line. Everyone looked pretty impressed, especially the orange boy. He gaped at you when you stopped next to him. "How did you do that?" he asked. Kurai gave him a sideway glance and replied: "Practice." He turned forward again and seemed to be contemplating this idea of 'practice'.
"Naruto, you're up"
The blonde boy puffed up his chest and took a stride forward. "No problem! This will be a piece of cake! BELIEVE IT!" he stated. He has a catch phrase? What a weird kid. Naruto focused his chakra and yelled "TRANSFORM!" Some of the cloud coverage dissipated to reveal a scantily clad girl version of Naruto. Iruka freaked out; leading to him getting a nose bleed and Naruto getting pummeled by Iruka's clipboard.
Finally the bell for lunch rang. Kurai walked out to the academy's kunai and shuriken training grounds and sat behind one of the wooden targets to eat her apple. She normally didn't eat much for lunch because during this time she would be going through training. Training on a full stomach was something she never really liked to do. Kurai finished her apple quickly and tossed the core aside; Might as well get some training done. She grabbed a bag of kunai from the bench opposite the targets and proceeded to hit every bull's eye.
Sasuke sat in a tree on the training grounds eating his lunch and avoiding the army of fan girls that were trying to eat lunch with him. He noticed the new girl walking across the grounds. What was her name...? K – Something…Kurai? He watched her sit on the grass and eat her apple. He hadn't really paid much attention to what she looked like when she first came to class or when she sat next to him. He did notice that she was a pretty good ninja with her perfect transformation. There's no way that new girl is better than me though; a smirk ran across his lips. He looked back over to Kurai, who was now walking toward where the practice kunai are kept. He had to admit that she was cute; definitely much prettier than girls that followed him around. He watched her set her stance to throw the kunai she had picked up. Good stance… She threw the kunai. Thwack, twack, twack. He stared at the kunai that stuck out perfectly straight in the middle of the targets. He looked back at Kurai, who didn't look very impressed at what she had done. It looked more like she hadn't even tried to throw three perfect shots. She casually walked toward the targets and removed the kunai, examining each one for any damage. Sasuke leaned back on the trunk of the tree;
What kind of training had this girl gone through?
A kunai hit the tree above his head. "It isn't polite to spy on people," Kurai spoke matter-of-factly. Sasuke scowled at her and tried to remove the kunai from the tree, but it wouldn't budge. Sasuke tugged at it again, this time much harder. The kunai pulled loose from the tree which caused Sasuke to fall into the bush below. Kurai walked over to the bush and leaned over him. "Are you okay?" she asked. "Hn," was his only response as he stood up. "Here." Sasuke said as he handed over the kunai. "Thank you." Kurai took the kunai gave it a quick spin on her finger. Sasuke was able to get a real good look at her now. She was taller than most girls and looked like she definitely trained harder than any of the girls in the class. Her skin was so flawless that it looked porcelain and would break under the slightest touch. She turned her attention from the kunai in her hand to the clock on the tower, then looked at Sasuke and asked, "Would you spare with me?" He continued to stare at her. He honestly didn't want to hurt the girl even though the looks of her biceps said she'd be fine. "Fine." He said while nonchalantly walking to the middle of the grounds. She took her place across from him and took her stance. Sasuke also took his battle stance and smirked. "Ladies first." He said. Kurai narrowed her eyes at him he's such a typical guy. She ran at him; throwing him a mock punch. He blocked it and threw a punch at her. She dodged it quickly and gave him a shove in the chest. "Is that all you've got?" she said. He scowled at her and threw some quick punches; she dodged every one of them. She took advantage of an opening he had left and gave him a spinning kick to the side and sent him flying a few feet before skidding to the ground. A thoroughly pissed off Sasuke got to his feet and charged at Kurai. He tossed her punch after punch and kick after kick. She continued to dodge and maneuver his punched but lost her footing on a loose rock. Sasuke landed a punch to her stomach that knocked the wind out of her. She glared at Sasuke, clutching her stomach and gasping for breathe. Just as she was about to charge at him again, the bell rang. Kurai looked at Sasuke before straightening herself up and walking towards the building. Sasuke just looked at her walking away till she stopped suddenly. "Thanks for the fight." She called over her shoulder. He placed his hands in his pockets before finally following her into the building.
No, thank you.
