A New Beginning
P.2
"Class. Class, please settle down." Iruka said, writing a few more notes upon the chalkboard. As he turned towards his students, he sighed softly as he noticed all the guys either nodding off or doodling on their desks while the girls all looked at Sasuke Uchiha with admiration. He sighed again, leaning on his desk.
"Alright, class today we're going to-" Iruka gasped a bit as the classroom doors suddenly slid open. Looking over, Iruka could only catch a glimpse of flowing, snow white hair before the Anbu member stepped infront of the newcomer.
"Iruka Umino?"
"Ah? Yes, sir?" Iruka straightened from his slouched over position.
"May I have a word with you?" The young man nodded, walking towards the other man. As soon as the classroom door slid shut the class began to chat amongst themselves. "I wonder what's going on?" Asked the blond.
"Hmph? Isn't it too late to become a ninja now deadlast?" The Uchiha smirked as he heard the blond grit his teeth in anger.
"Screw you, teme!"
The girls within the class looked at the blond angrily. Just as they were about to yell at him, the classroom door slid open quickly. The class stared as a young man with flowing, snow white hair poked his head into the room.
"W-who is this guy?" Wondered the class as they continued to stare. Unbeknowst to them the young man smiled softly.
"Could you all please keep it down? The excessive noise is starting to become a nuisance to me." The young man closed the door after, causing the class to exclaim in unison.
"Eh?!"
Moments later, the door slid open once again to reveal their instructor.
"Alright class, I would like to introduce you all to our new student. All heads turned towards the door as a young man entered through it. The students stared in confusion at the young man's lengthy hair for it concealed all of his facial features, even his ears. Trailing their eyes downward, they silently observed his silk black kimono; however, in an instant all eyes locked onto the blond child once they took notice of the crimson nine tailed fox embedded near the hem. Noticing the stares, the blond scratched the top of his head a tad bit nervously. The young man cleared his throat, causing the class to look at him once again. Taking note of this, Iruka quickly stood next to him.
"Class I would like to introduce you to Mr..." Iruka trailed off, realizing he did not catch the young man's name from earlier.
"Ryuu. Ryuu of the Himura Clan."
"Dragon of the Scarlet village?" Questioned Sakura as she continued to stare at the young man.
"Yes, not very fitting as you can see, but that is my identity." Ryuu pulled a section of his hair away from his face which majority of the class leaned forward trying to catch a glimpse of it. They sighed disappointingly as they could not.
"Alright class, today I will assign you all to your new teams. Would you like to have a seat Ryuu?" Iruka asked turning towards the young man. Ryuu nodded causing Iruka to smile. Ryuu then sat on the desk when Iruka turned his back. Scanning the students, he sighed softly not finding the one he desperately wished to see. Just as he was close to giving up, he gasped softly in surprise as his eyes fell upon him.
~Naruto's P.O.V~
After the whole introduction with the Naruto sighed a bit loudly. "Great, I'm going to be set with people who don't even want me anywhere near them." His head dropped slightly as he stared at his desk.
"Why am I even here?" His thoughts were interrupted by a slight tickling sensation on the back of his neck.
"What the?" Looking around Naruto tried to locate what was causing him to feel this way then his eyes fell upon him.
"I-is he staring at me?" The blond straightened in his seat feeling more and more nervous as the time went by. That is until Ryuu stood from his sitting position.
~Normal P.O.V~
Ryuu slowly stood from his meditative position upon Iruka's desk. Keeping his eyes on the blond, he walked up the steps to where Naruto was sitting. All eyes instantly locked onto the young man as he climbed up the stairs.
Once he was standing next to the blond, Ryuu stared down at him for a moment. However, seeing the young man so close to him all of a sudden caused Naruto to yell at him involuntarily. "You got a problem with me or something?!"
"Naruto! Apologize to him this instant!" Sakura yelled also. The blond glared up at the young man who only smiled as he continued to stare. The class gasped as he suddenly knelled before the blond.
"From this day forth, I, Ryuu Himura, will forever stand by your side." Deep within Ryuu's subconscious; however, something began to chuckle softly. He opened his eyes a bit aware of his newcomer's presence.
"W-what? What the hell are you talking about?!" The blond shouted flabbergasted from the entire event. Ryuu snapped out of his reverie to look up at the blond. "I want to protect you, Naruto Uzumaki." Ryuu clenched his fists slightly as he felt a slight uneasiness began to brew within him. "What is this feeling?"
"W-why would you do something like that for me?" Ryuu looked up and smiled gently. He moved his hair away from his face, causing the blond to gasp softly. Unconsciously, Naruto raised his hand slowly then gently placed it against the young man's pale skin. "What are you?"
Ryuu's leaned into the touch slightly amazed that he was doing so. His head lowered as he pondered for a moment.
"I couldn't tell you even if I wanted to." Naruto's brow scrunched together as he continued to stare down at the young man.
"Why the hell not?" Ryuu looked up at the blond who watched on with mild confusion. Even though it was blatantly clear that the young man could not express sadness, he could just feel it resonate from him.
"I...do not know what I am."
Naruto frowned as he moved the young man's hair away from his face. He gasped loudly as he gazed within the young man's pure black eyes. "W-what?"
Ryuu stared into the blond's eyes,smiling softly. "Now do you see? Please let me lend you my life."
