Okay, so here it is, Chapter 4 – EENJOYYYY
Disclaimer – WE DON'T OWN NARUTO, OR ANY PUBLICLY RECOGNISED THINGYMABOBBYS SEEN IN THIS FIC. That is all.
**Aranya POV**
I didn't bother looking up as Kai walked in, instead grabbed some more blue tack from the packet I found in one of the random drawers in the kitchen. I pulled some off, and stuck it on the back of the map around Konoha, and stuck it on the kitchen door. I then grabbed the lesson times and stuck that up next to it.
I grabbed the bag I had ditched by the front door, walked over to the bedrooms, and looked at both of the rooms. They were both identical in that the beds, wardrobes, shelves and cupboards were placed in the same place in each room, but they were different colours. The first one I came to was a midnight blue and black with gold swirls here and there, and the other was a deep red and black, with gold trimmings.
I threw my bag in the red and gold room, telling Kai that I had claimed it as mine, and that if she set foot in it there would be the same consequences as there are if she invades my personal space bubble – I have a feeling you'll find out the consequences when it comes to school.
"HEY! HOW DO YOU KNOW I DON'T WANT THAT ROOM?" Kai screamed at me from outside.
"Ok, Kai? Deep red or midnight blue?" I asked her, already knowing her answer.
"Midnight blue, duh." She replied, "BUT WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH A-"
"JUST OPEN THE DOOR TO THE OTHER DAMN ROOM." I called out, beginning to unpack the few things I had brought with me. I wasn't planning on getting comfortable around here, so I only brought some clothes, a few books, some CD's (because I would die if I couldn't listen to either The Wanted, Taylor Swift, The Veronicas or The Pretty Reckless), my iPod and the docking station that Kai and I shared, and of course my guitars – yes, plural. I had a deep purple electric guitar, and a light red acoustic guitar.
I grabbed the docking station, and put my iPod in it, putting on The Pretty Reckless playlist I had made ages ago, and started sorting out my clothes.
I opened the wardrobe and grabbed some of the hangers in there, hanging up the many poufy skirts and long sleeved tops that I brought with me, and the outfit I would usually wear when I fought – just because it was easier that fighting in short poufy skirts. I then folded up the tights and crazy over the knee socks, and put them in one of the two drawers underneath where I hung up my clothes, putting underwear, my tracksuit bottoms, and an oversized SpongeBob top in the other drawer.
Closing up the wardrobe, I turned down my music and heard a thudding against my door. Walking over, I opened my bedroom door a crack, and saw Kai sitting with her back to it, banging her head against it in a steady beat. As she brought her head back to bang it again, I opened the door as far as it would go, and laughed as Kai went crashing to the floor.
"HEY! THAT WAS JUST PLAIN HARSH NYA!" She said to me, getting up and dusting herself off.
I stopped laughing and put on an innocent expression, and explained myself;
"How was I supposed to know you were there, cousin? I had my music on, so I didn't hear a thing." I said, in my best cutesy voice, trying not to laugh at her disgruntled expression.
"Whatever." She said, shrugging it off, and walked across the room, sitting on my bed. "I just remembered, Shizune gave me this before she left. It's our timetable for school." She told me, pulling out a sheet of paper from her cloak.
I walked over it and grabbed it, looking over it quickly, noticing that there were two timetables – one for week one, one for week two.

On the back, there was a note from lady Tsunade –
As of tomorrow, the school is on week one. Have fun.
"Great, so we start off with biology. After form time that is." I told Kai, who was currently lying on her back on my bed, waving her arms and legs about. "Kai, what the hell are you doing?" I asked her, poking her cheek.
"Imma makin a snow angel!" She told me, continuing to wave her arms and legs about. On my bed.
"Kai, there is no snow, and you're on my bed. GET OFF IT." I told her. Rude creature.
"Oh yeah…oh well." She said, continuing to flap her limbs around. Still laying on my bed, "So, what do we have fir-AHH" She began to ask. If you're curious as to why she was screaming, well, that was because I pushed her off my bed. Her eyes then alighted on something black and purple in front of her. The curtain drapes were in front of her, and the tassels were hanging in her face
"OMFG. TASSELS! THEY'RE MONKEY FUDGEING TASSELS!" Kaitaru screamed. Then she proceeded to play with them like some kind of freaking cat on crystal meth. I looked down and smiled at her. "Well you know what they say, tassels are like rubix cubes, the more you PLAY with them, the harder they get." I said devilishly. This made her drop the dangling tassels immediately.
"Ew." Kaitaru stated, flinging her hands out a little, as if to try and get rid of the feeling of the tassels.
"As I said, we start off with biology, after form time." I said, sitting "As I said, we start off with biology, after form time." I said, sitting on my bed as if nothing had happened. Kai got up and dusted herself off again, before sitting cross legged on the floor.
"Greeaatt." She said. I got up and walked over to my iPod, turning off the docking station putting my iPod into my pocket.
"Wanna explore the village?" I asked her. It was only midday, and I wanted to get down to the training grounds.
"Sure" She said, jumping up.
I opened my wardrobe and put my swords in the back of it, instead choosing to bring the twin dragon blades. I grabbed my knee-high converse from where I'd ditched them by the door, zipped them up, and went to the map on the kitchen door, putting up our timetable and memorising the route to the training grounds.
"KAI, HURRY UP!" I called out to her, opening the door and waiting outside.
She ran out and slammed the door behind her, and pegged it to the stairs, not seeing me standing next to the door.
"Kai, do you even know where you're going?" I called after her, making her jump and almost fall down the stairs.
"No. I THOUGHT YOU HAD ALREADY GONE IT'S NOT MY FAULT." She screamed, scrunching her eyes up, making herself look like a demented chipmunk.
"Whatever, now hurry up." I said, passing her on the stairs, and jumping over the railing.
She jumped down after me, and I led us both to the training grounds, walking up to training ground three. I remembered Tsunade's warning of checking who was in the training ground first, but Kai had already run in, so I figured it was too late now.
I walked in behind her, and saw her waiting for me by a tree, watching something. When I reached her, I looked to where she was staring, and saw a girl who looked to be about our age, with pink hair, and a guy who looked to be in his late twenties wearing a mask, with freaky white hair. Was everyone around here strange?
The girl was currently trying to concentrate chakra into her fist, while the guy was leaning against a post, reading a book. I saw the name of the book and poked Kai, pointing at it, then slapped my hand over her mouth before she started screaming at him for reading a porn book.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him throw three kunai at us without looking up, and, giggling, I caught all three between my fingers.
"Hey! That wasn't very nice dude!" Kai shouted at him, while I simply laughed.
"It's not very nice to spy on people either." He said, closing his book and putting it in his pocket. The girl had turned around at this point, and was watching the scene in confusion.
I laughed again, and followed Kai as she walked closer.
"We weren't spying. We were just coming here to train, and this dumbass walked in before I could check to see if it was being used." I explained, poking Kai's back, in between her shoulder blades, making her squeak.
I threw his kunai back to him, aiming to his the post just above his head, but he caught them.
"HEY! I'M NOT A DUMBASS, YOU SPOTTY BACKED GOLDFISH!" Kai yelled at me, making the other two ninja look at her in confusion.
"Sorry about her, she's a freak." I said to them, before I turned back to her, "I'm not a spotty backed goldfish, but you're a vine-footed, camel pillowed piece of paper. Now schtum." I said, before turning back. "Anyways, I'm Aranya and this is Kai. We've just come here." I informed them.
"Yeah, against our wills." Kai muttered, jut loud enough for the guy to hear.
"I'm Sakura Haruno, and this is Kakashi sensei. It's nice to meet you both." The pink haired girl told us, smiling at us both. I smiled back, as Kai and I walked up to them both.
"Nice to meet you too." I replied, poking Kai in the ribs when she carried on muttering to herself, once again, about 'stinkin lizards'.
"Huh? Oh. Yeah, that." She said, agreeing with me. "And, just for the record, we're not spies." She said, glaring at Kakashi.
"Well it's not my fault I thought that. You were both watching us, and you look suspicious with those cloaks on." He told us, leaning against the post again.
I raised my eyebrows at him, and looked at Kai, catching onto what she was thinking.
Diss him big time.
I smirked we walked up to him, and Kai started us off.
"Yeah, and you look like a cross between a robot," She said, letting me finish.
"And a mad scientist that's been electrocuted one too many times." I concluded, pulling at his hair. I mean, what was up with that? Hair should not stick up like that.
Kai and I both kept a straight face, but we heard Sakura laughing behind us, and two other male laughs.
Looking back, I saw the blonde kid from earlier, and an old guy laughing, but they didn't seem to notice us.
**Kai POV**
I looked back just after Nya did, and saw the blonde kid and old guy from earlier.
"YOU!" I shouted at the blonde kid, making him stop laughing.
"NO WAY! YOU'RE THE WEIRD KID FROM EARLIER!" He screamed back.
"You two know each other?" Kakashi said, looking between me and blondie.
"YEAH WE KNOW EACHOTHER!" Blondie screamed, coming over to me, "I KICKED HER ASS EARLIER IN A STARING CONTEST, BELIEVE IT! READY TO FINALLY ADMIT IT?" He screamed in my face.
"OH IT IS ON! YOU, ME, BEST TWO OUT OF THREE, STARING CONTEST, NOW!" I challenged him, feeling my anger rise. I was not going to let this little squirt beat me. Nu-uh. No way.
**Aranya POV**
I looked between Kai and the blonde kid, sighed and sat on one of the shorter posts next to the one Kakashi was leaning against.
"Uhh…Aranya, was it?" He began, looking at me. I nodded back, "What exactly are Naruto and Kai doing?" He asked me, looking on in confusion.
I sighed before I answered him; "Exactly what they said they're doing. Having a staring contest. Apparently blondie thinks he won the staring contest earlier, even though I walked in between them both, when they were in the middle of it, and he looked after me while Kai kept staring. He seemed to think that Kai was cheating and that he won, but really, if anyone should've won, it should've been Kai." I explained to him, pulling my legs up and crossing them from where I sat.
"Right….." He replied, still looking confused.
"Right now, they're having a staring contest, because, from the looks of it, neither of them will admit defeat. Get comfortable, this will take a while." I told him, jumping off the post and pulling out my iPod, putting one of the earphones in so I could still hear what was going on.
Sakura had walked over to us, and heard my initial explanation, so she sat down next to me, and watched as I grabbed some matches from my pocket. I offered her an earphone and she took it and thanked me, then watched Naruto and Kai in their 'Epic Showdown of Non-Blinkiness', as Kai had called it earlier. I lit a match and activated my Fleserai, and started twisting the flame around in spirals. I saw Kakashi look over at me, and out of the corner of my eye I saw his eyes widen.
I laughed a bit and looked at him, smirking, and then looked back at the flame, pulling my sleeve back up to my elbow, which is where my scars start. I twisted the fire around my arm, keeping it drawn out in a thin line, then blew it all out before Sakura noticed.
I put the match in my pocket, and looked up at Kai and Naruto again, seeing them still staring at each other.
Sighing, I got up and walked up to Kai.
"Hey, douche, I'm going to another training ground to actually get some training done. Come find me when you're done here." I told her. I started walking away, when I heard Sakura call after me.
"Wait, Aranya, you can train here if you want. There's plenty of room for all of us, even with them having their….staring contest." She offered. I shrugged and walked back to the post, ditching my iPod.
I walked over to the far end of the clearing, right by the trees, and infused the small dagger Kai had given me during my fight the other day with chakra. I extended the blade with my chakra, and sliced the tops off of three short trees, creating some stumps for me to use.
I placed some targets on the stumps and the trees around them, and grabbed some kunai, and my preferred tools – senbon.
I used my chakra as a boost and jumped up, twisting and throwing the kunai and senbon in mid-air, training like many other ninja. Unlike many other ninja, I hit every target first time. I pulled on the strings attached to the tools, and caught them all as they came flying towards me.
Sighing, I decided to work on using my Fleserai, and got out the same packet of matches I had before, and grabbed a sword handle from inside my cloak.
I could feel Kakashi and the old guy watching me every now and then, but ignored them as I lit a match. Activating my Fleserai again, I made the flame flare up and away from the match, which I put back in the box, before putting the box back in my pocket.
I kept the flame going, and sat down on the smaller of the stumps I had made. I brought the flame to the floor, and built it up so there was a wall of fire next to me. I brought the handle up to it, ignoring the intense stares I was getting from Kakashi and the other guy, and pulled the handle out slowly, moulding the fire into the shape of a blade. I blew out the wall of fire, and worked on making the edge of my blade thinner and sharper, until the cuts on the stumps were thinner and more precise.
Once I was happy with how the blade was, I turned around to face the others. Naruto and Kai were still in a staring contest, and Kakashi and the other guy were still watching me. Sakura was training again, throwing chakra infused punches and kicks around. I lifted my sword up, blew out the flame, and deactivated the Fleserai.
I walked back over to Kakashi and the other guy, pointing to Naruto and Kai.
"Who wants to help me sabotage and put an end to their staring contest?" I asked them both, getting bored of waiting for Kai to finish already.
"I'll do it!" The old guy said happily. Weird.
"Ok, first up, who are you?" I asked him, jumping back when he struck a pose.
"I AM THE FAMOUS AND TOTALLY HANDSOME TOAD SAGE!" He exclaimed. Out the corner of my eye, I saw Kakashi sigh and turn back to his book.
"I repeat, who are you?" I said, raising an eyebrow.
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM? WHY, I AM ONE OF THE LEGENDAY SENNIN, THE MOUNTAIN TOAD SAGE, JIRAIYAHHH!" He said proudly, striking a pose again.
"I would say it's nice to meet you, but whatever. I'm Aranya. And no, I didn't know who you are – to be honest, I still don't - and was it so hard to just say 'my name is Jiraiya?" I pointed out, "Anyways, here's the plan. I grab Kai, you grab Naruto, we turn them around at the same time so they both loose. If they still stare at each other, then am I allowed to knock out Naruto using a pressure point on his neck?" I asked them both, outlining the easiest options.
They both nodded at me, and Jiraiya and I walked up to Naruto and Kai. Kakashi did a countdown for us, and as soon as her said 'one', I grabbed Kai's hands, pulling them behind her back, and nodded at Jiraiya, signalling to turn them around, and NOW.
As I thought, they still continued to crane their necks around to stare at each other, so I signalled to Jiraiya to bring Naruto closer to me.
I put my hands on their necks, and squeezed a pressure point, letting them both drop to the ground.
"Well, that's that sorted out then. Imma gonna take Kai home now, cause it's late and we have to go to *shudder* school tomorrow." I said, frowning and slinging Kai on my back.
"See y'around." I called over my shoulder as I collected my iPod from where I had left it, and went back to the flat. When I got inside, I opened Kai's room and threw her on the bed, taking her shoes off (and resisting the urge to put nose plugs in), and pulled her duvet over her. I then set the alarm clock that was at the side of her bed, knowing she would be out like a light for the rest of the night.
I went back into my room, changing into my pj's (the oversized SpongeBob top and tracksuit bottoms), and set my own alarm clock. Not that it would do much – Kai always has to get me up anyway.
I crawled into bed, suddenly feeling quite tired from all the traveling we did, and fell asleep, hoping that I wouldn't have the nightmares that I've been getting recently.
