Chapter 2! Yay! :D
Anyway, on with the show! Please review!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
After we got changed, I discovered that we had to share PE with another class. Our teacher is Gai-sensei. In my opinion he looks like an older version of some boy in my class, I think his name is Lee, oh well, maybe Lee and Gai-sensei aren't related. Our uniforms are a white cotton t-shirt with red, skin-tight shorts that only go down to the middle of your thigh.
"How can girls wear such a stupid thing?! I look like a slut! I don't wanna look like INO! I'd rather wear the boys uniform to be honest..." I was brought back to reality when I felt like I was being watched, more like being checked out. I looked over to the other class where there were three boys looking at me, Hinata and Temari. I'm be honest here, Hinata and Temari have nice figures. I'm the new girl so it's obvious I'm gonna get checked out. Temari was capable off looking after herself as she was cursing some of the perverts. I looked over at Hinata who looked terrified. I followed her direction and saw some boy tell her to call him. He looked really dodgy. Hinata was no hiding behind me.
"Don't worry Hinata. I'll teach that pervert a lesson." I patted her head and gave her the thumbs up. She smiled and ran off to her teammates. We were playing football. We were on teams of five. On my team was Naruto, Sasuke, Neji and Lee. I see what Hinata means by 'Neji is a big jerk'.
"Alright. Naruto you're goalie. Lee, you're striker, Sasuke, you're a midfielder with me. And Nagareboshi, you're defender." Everyone walked off to their place when I went to talk to Lee.
"Lee? Can we swap places because I'm really good at football." I pleaded.
"I'm sorry Nagare-chan but you can't." He frowned.
"If you play lots of different positions for football you will prove yourself youthful enough." I suggested. Before I knew it Lee was over in my position. I guess he likes youth and youthfulness.
"Nagareboshi. Why have you and Lee swapped places?" Neji demanded.
"Because I wanted to be striker and you didn't let any of us have a choice." I retorted. I crossed my arms my chest.
"Do as I say or we'll lose!"
"Have you ever seen me play football!?"
"No..."
"So suck it up! I'm not moving! Deal with it! Hinata's right you are a big jerk!" I smirked. I had really pissed Neji off. Sasuke was laughing at him and Naruto was screaming 'You just got served!'. The whistle blew and within 20 seconds I had scored a goal without passing to anyone. Neji was stunned. I laughed at his expression. After about one hour of playing football, we were finalists. We got a break while we watched other teams play. Sasuke walked up to me.
"So, where did you learn to play football like that?" He asked.
"Because of my past." I didn't want anyone to know about what happened.
"Tell me more Nagare-chan." He winked.
"Does he think I'm a fangirl?! And he called me 'Nagare-chan'." I thought. "No."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not a fangirl. And you called me 'Nagare-chan'."
"Lee called you Nagare-chan."
"And he let me swap places with me and he doesn't think I'm a fangirl." For some weird reason Sasuke was smiling. Maybe he was glad I'm not a fangirl. His smiled soon turned into a frown when he saw Ino, Karin and Sakura approaching. They made a wall between me and Sasuke.
"Can't you see we're having a conversation here." I pointed out.
"How dare you make Sasuke smile!" Karin shouted.
"Only we can make him smile!" Sakura joined in.
"And how can you not be a fangirl?! You're crazy!" Said Ino and the others nodded.
"Can't Sasuke speak for himself?" I asked the obvious.
"We know what you're trying to do!" Karin ignored my question.
"You're trying to steal every boy in the school! Especially our Sasuke!" Sakura pointed to me. I was drinking water and I regurgitated it back up because I was laughing at my 'plan'.
"You think I'm a boy toy!? Do you even have any evidence?!" I was still laughing.
"You tried to steal Shikamaru, Gaara, Kiba, Suigetsu, Neji, Lee and Sasuke!" Ino was on fire.
"Those are all the boys I've talked to so far." I stood up and walked to the pitch as it was our turn to play.
"We'll make you pay for this!" They shouted in chorus. I looked at the team I was playing and the pervert from the other class was on the team. I looked over at Hinata and gave her the thumbs up. The whistle blew and I passed it to Neji, who passed it to Sasuke, who passed it to me. I kicked the ball with all of my strength and it was flying at full speed, aiming for the goal. Except it didn't land in the goal. The ball rolled off to the side and the pervert fell to the floor holding his crotch.
"YOU CRAZY BITCH!" He screamed.
"Oops! Silly me." I said with an innocent voice. I tapped my head then started laughing. Everyone else was laughing, especially Hinata. "That's what you get for perving on Hinata! And your friends will get similar consequences if they don't watch it! Got it!" They nodded and walked off. It was time to go back inside and changed anyway so everyone went back to the changing rooms.
"Thank you so much Nagare-chan!" Hinata hugged me.
"It's ok Hinata. I told you I would teach him a lesson." We started laughing.
When I walked out of the changing room Kiba walked up to me.
"Hey Nagare-chan. I was wondering, do you want to eat lunch with-""US!" Naruto screamed. He put his arm around my shoulder and he did the same for Kiba.
"Ok." I walked with them to a grass field where all of the boys in our class were sitting.
"Hi guys." I waved. They looked up and acknowledge my presence. They were sitting in a circle and they moved up so Naruto, Kiba and I could sit down. I was sitting next to Kiba and Shikamaru. I started to look through my bag for my lunch, which was just sugary snacks. I pulled out some strawberry flavoured Yan Yan and started eating it. For some weird reason I felt like I was being watched. I looked up to see a boy was staring at my food.
"Do you want one? I've another one in my bag." I pulled out the other Yan Yan.
"Thank you." He took it from my hand. "I'm Chouji by the way. And this is Sai and Shino" He pointed to a guy drawing the tree behind me and a boy who was playing with bugs. I smiled.
"Nice to meet you." I smiled.
"Why did you kick the football in that guy's balls in PE?" Sai asked.
"Because he was being a pervert and he was making Hinata feel uncomfortable." I answered.
"Well at least he has balls. Unlike Naruto..." Everyone started laughing while Naruto was on fire.
"WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH BALLS!?" Naruto's voice could be heard from the other side of the school.
"Naruto. Shut up and eat your lunch." Kankuro pulled Naruto down back in his spot.
"So which Talent class are you in Nagare-chan?" Kiba changed the subject.
"How come Kiba gets to call you Nagare-chan?!" Sasuke asked.
"We've already been through this. Also, why do you want to call me Nagare-chan so badly?" I pointed out. Sasuke was speechless.
"Maybe Sasuke has a crush on Nagareboshi." Gaara said while reading a book. Sasuke was blushing a bit.
"That's not true." He turned his head round so no could see his blush.
"HA HA! Sasuke has a crush on Nagare-chan!" Naruto was laughing on his back.
"I do not!" He protested.
"Nagare-chan and Sasuke, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Naruto was try his hardest to breathe.
"If you want to call me Nagare-chan that badly then I'll let you. I don't know what your fangirls will think though." I sighed.
"Nagare-chan, you didn't get to answer my question." Kiba reminded me.
"Oh yeah. I'm in Art/Resistant Materials."
"You're with me and Sai then." Kankuro said. The bell rang and I walked with Kankuro and Sai to the other side of the school.
"So who is the teacher?" I asked.
"In Talent class, the older students teach us instead of the teachers." Sai explained as we opened a door to an art class room. There were there students from other classes as well. At the front there were three students. One had red hair, the other had blonde hair and the last one had blue hair.
"That's Sasori, my cousin and he's resistant material's teacher, that's Deidara, he's the pottery/sculpture teacher and that's Konan, she's the art teacher." Kankuro pointed to the three students.
"I see we've got a new kid." Konan walked up to me. "What's your name?"
"Nagareboshi. But everyone calls me Nagare-chan." I smiled.
"I'm Konan. What are you good at? "
"I'm not really sure..."
"Well you can do some origami with me is you want?"
"Ok Konan-sempai." She lead me to a table where people were making origami.
"So, you're a transfer student. What school did you transfer from?" Konan-sempai asked.
"I used to live in Oto so I went to Oto Junior High but then I was back on the move before I finished the whole school. So I never went to High School." I explained.
"What about Elementary School?"
"I was born in Kumo so I went to Kumo Kindergarten and a bit of Kumo Elementary school."
"So you travel a lot?"
"Yeah but hopefully I won't have to move again." I sighed. "Konan-sempai! That's beautiful!" Konan-sempai had made a rose with every colour of the rainbow. It looked like it could save the world. She sprinkled silver glitter on it to make it stand out more.
"Really? Why thank you Nagare-chan. You can have it." She handed it to me.
"Really?! Thank you Konan-sempai!" I hugged her and she hugged me back. After 40 minutes of making animals, flowers and things, Konan-sempai said it would be best if I should do something else. She suggested I should go to Sasori-sempai. He was with Kankuro working on a puppet. They seemed to be repairing it.
"Um, Sasori-sempai?"
"Yes Nagareboshi?" he looked up at me.
"Konan-sempai said I should help you.."
"Do you know anything about mechanics?" He stood up. I searched my memory if I had done mechanics. Then I remembered that I used to fix cars and machines. I also know how to hot wire a car.
"I used to fix cars and machines when I was younger."
"Good enough." He grabbed my hand and led me to a music box. It looked ancient Blood was rushing to my cheek.
"Crap! Am I blushing?! Get a hold of yourself Nagareboshi! Lots of boys have held your hand before so why am I blushing around Sasori-sempai?!" I mentally slapped myself.
"I want you to get this music box to work. If you can do that then you will earn my respect and you can eat lunch with me." He explained.
"No offense but why would I want to eat lunch with you? Not saying that I wouldn't..."
"I forgot, you're new here. I'm in a gang called The Akatsuki. We're really popular. You could rub it in people's faces that you get to eat lunch with The Akatsuki." The first thing that came to my mind was Karin, Ino and Sakura and how I could rub it in their faces.
"Ok. I'll see what I can do." The music box was so old that paint was peeling of it. I opened it and no music was being played. Just a sad, lonely figure stood there.
"Sasori-sempai, can you get me a tool box please?" I asked him. He came back with a huge tool box that made the music box jump when he dropped it on the table.
"Here you go Nagare-chan." I pulled out a screw driver and unscrewed the sides of the box. I removed the sides to find a mechanical mess. It didn't take me long to fix the broken thing, ok to be honest it took nearly an hour because I was enjoying myself.
"Finished." I wiped my brow. Sasori came rushing over. I turned the key in the back and the most adorable tune played. It was Yiruma - Kiss The Rain. For some weird reason it made me feel like crying, I thought of my past and how my mother died, and of all the people I miss and will probably never see again. I cried silent tears as I remembered it was the lullaby my mother sand to me. I almost forgot that Sasori was sitting next to me.
"Why are you crying?" Sasori whispered. He cupped my face and rubbed his thumbs on my cheeks, removing the tears. Every stroke made me blush even more. My tears evaporated by the heat of my blush.
"I'm not crying. What are you talking about?" I smiled. I gigged while Sasori had a concerned look on his face.
"I won't tell anyone." He finally removed his hands and he held out his pinkie finger. "Promise." After we made a pinkie promise Deidara-sempai came over to us.
"Cool! You fixed it. Now I can make a model for the middle cause that one is getting old." He pulled the model out of the box and came back 20 minutes with a newer, prettier version. The bell rang and everyone left.
"I'll see you tomorrow at lunch." I waved goodbye to Konan, Deidara and Sasori.
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Deidara.
"Sasori-sempai said that if I fixed the music box I would get to eat lunch with you guys."
"Oh really?" Konan and Deidara looked at Sasori with a weird expression on their face.
"Am I not wanted?" I frowned and fake cried.
"Of course not! We would love for you to come!" Konan hugged me.
"Fine you can come but just this once. I don't know what Pein will think about this though." Deidara sighed.
"I can say she's with me and Pein will be ok with it." I didn't have a clue who Pein was.
"Konan-sempai? Is Pein your boyfriend?" Konan started blushing while Deidara and Sasori started laughing. I didn't need an answer from her.
"Anyway, I'm going to be late so I've gotta go!" I waved and ran to home room as Talent class lasts for two hours. Finally the day is over!
"Hey Nagare-chan!" Yume called me as I rushed out of the school gates. "I'm going to Tenten's house so you have to walk Kurama and cook dinner." I sighed.
"Fine. I'll see you later." We went our separate ways. When I finally got home I searched the house for Kurama. I walked into the garden to find Kurama sleeping in the sun.
"Kurama, get off your lazy ass. We're going for a walk." I called out to him. He perked his head up and walked over to me. I took a couple of black plastic bags with me in case he does a number 2. I grabbed my keys and Kurama followed me out the door. I don't make Kurama wear a lead because I like scaring the neighbours. We walked down the street. It was pretty quiet, until some kids ran down the street to pet Kurama. That takes about 10 minutes until their parents scream 'It's the Kyuubi'. We walked around the block. We were nearly home until Kurama heard something in the forest.
"What is it Kurama?" I noticed that he was sniffing towards the forest. And before I knew, he had dashed off into the forest.
"KURAMA! Get back here!" I screamed. "This is great, just great..." I thought aloud.
Shikamaru's P.O.V
"Shikamaru! Would you go check on the deer before supper?" My mom was screaming at me, again.
"I can't be asked." I sighed.
"That wasn't a suggestion! Now go!" I swear my mom can be as scary as hell.
"Troublesome." I mumbled. I put my shoes on and walked into the deep emerald forest that surrounded my home. After about half an hour of looking for deer I heard some girl screaming.
"KURAMA! Get back here!" Screamed the girl. "This is great, just great..." I realised that the voice was somehow familiar. The girl sounded a lot like Nagareboshi. Suddenly an orange blobbed tackled me.
"What the hell?!"
"There you are!" The girl was standing in front of me. "Shikamaru?"
"Nagareboshi?" I realised that it was Nagareboshi but that still didn't explain why there was an orange blob on me. It jumped off my and into Nagareboshi's arms. Now that I looked more clearly, the orange blob was a fox.
"Is that fox yours?" I asked.
"Yeah. He's really naughty." She smiled. I heard footsteps behind me, it was my mom.
"Shikamaru! What's taking you so long?!" She demanded then noticed Nagareboshi standing there with a shocked yet happy expression on her face.
"Nagareboshi? Is that really you?"
"How the heck does my mom know Nagareboshi?!"
"Yoshino? Yoshino!" Nagareboshi received a hug from my mom. Kurama had escaped from the embrace and sat next to me with a confused look on his face, and mine. I soon found myself in my house and my mom and Nagareboshi were drinking tea.
"Ok. I'm confused. How come you two know each other?" I really wanted some answers.
"When Nagare-chan was younger, Kurama wondered into the forest and led Nagare-chan to our house. She was lost and I had to help her find her way out of the forest. As she didn't go to Junior High/High School, she would come here and help me do some work around the house." My mom explained it to me like it was obvious. "How come you know Nagare-chan?"
"We're in the same class." I said in unison with Nagareboshi. After my mom and Nagareboshi finished their tea. Nagareboshi was leaving with Kurama. Just before she opened the door my mom ordered me to do something.
"Shikamaru! Why don't you walk Nagare-chan out of the forest." She was busy cooking.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes!"
"It's ok Yoshino. I know my way out of the forest so please don't worry." Nagareboshi reassured her.
"If you say so..."
"I can't believe this! My mom just cooperated with someone! Nagareboshi must be pretty special to my mom." I thanked Nagareboshi and with that she left the house.
Nagareboshi's P.O.V
When I got home I quickly made dinner before Yume got home. After dinner I just went to sleep. I mean, who knew High School could be so tiring. And with that I was in my dreamland.
