Chowerybody! I came back and made this one longer (hehe that's what she said). :) Enjoy.
~o~
I've always been an early bird. Ever since I remember, which is why it's no surprise when I wake up at four in the morning. The surprise is the arm around my waist. My eyes open quickly and I stiffen when I feel a warm body pressed against my back. Not wanting to wake them I slowly turn my head around to get a glimpse of their face.
Sleeping next to me is a boy my age with spiky black hair. He looks peaceful as he breathes in and out. I wonder what he's dreaming about.
Ignoring the fact that there's a random guy I don't know sleeping next to me, I untangle my arm from his and place it on his forehead. I close my eyes and see a white glow from behind my eyelids. Concentrating, I reach into his mind and see his thoughts. There is a younger version of him and what I'll guess is his big brother. They're playing around outside. It looks like his big bro is teaching him a jutsu. I pay attention as he teaches him. Maybe I can learn it too.
The Big bro performs some hand signs and blows fire from his fingers. Awesome! I wanna try! I leave his mind and open my eyes. The white glow recedes from my hands as I let go of the jutsu. It's a special one of mine. I made it up when I was little.
I untangle the rest of my body from the dude and take one last look at him before leaping off to the bathroom. I memorized this place yesterday, so it only takes me bout two seconds to get there. I take my hair out of the ponytails and brush it out. I slept with them in so my hair's all tangled and shtuff.
After I finish with my hygieneial things I walk downstairs and open up the fridge in the kitchen.
"WHAT?!" I open up the doors to find nothing but an apple. How can this dude live?! That reminds me. Who is this guy? I grab the Apple and take a huge bite of it. Bittersweet. Maybe this is the guy I'll be living with. Yay! I like him already. He's really warm. I wonder if he sleeps with strangers all the time. That would be coool.
Talking to myself about apples and strangers, I head out the door and straight through the village. While me and Hina-chan were going to the awesome ramen shop we passed a training ground. And I wanna try doing that cool fire jutsu thing! I go to the ramen shop - Yup! I remembered where it is. Aren't you proud of me? I take a few lefts here and a few rights there and am soon standing in front of a clearing. This is the training ground? Wow. Definitely not as awesome as back home. Not that I can remember much about home. But I have a new home now! And I've already made a friend.
I stand in the middle of a clearing and close my eyes, trying to remember the signs he did. I copy them, my eyes still closed. Directing my chakra to my fingers and mouth, I open my eyes and blow. A semi-big fire ball shoots out.
"Cool cool cool! That's so awesome!" I shout. "Now let's make it bigger. Hehe." For the next four hours I practice the jutsu until I have perfected it. I've always been able to master a jutsu in not much time. Just a gift of mine I guess. By the end I am panting and my clothes are dirty. They are also burnt in some spots. Hehe. I think I was having a little too much fun. Nah. There's no such thing as too much fun. But now I'm hungry. Hey! I should go get my new housemate and Hina-chan and we can eat lunch together at the awesome ramen shop! That would be totally awesome!
I hop off and through the village to the Hyuuga houses. I walk up to a gaurd standing at the entrance.
"Hello my fine sir. I'm here to see lady Hinata, if I may," I say regally and bow. He seems confuzzled and stands there staring at me.
"Chop chop lad! I ain't got all day." I switch to an Irish accent. This is so much fun! I love confusing peoples.
"U-um, who are you?" He asks with a stupidly funny face on his head.
"That is a secret, my dear boy," I pull out a pair of super secret-agent sunglasses from nowhere and put on my serious face, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you."
"W-what?" He sweat drops, even more confused than before.
"You want to know who I am?! You want to know WHO I AM?! I'll tell you WHO I AM! I am your worst nightmare! Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!" I throwmy hands in the air and laugh my most maniacal laugh. By now he looks scared.
"Umm." Ha. He doesn't know what to say. Thought as much.
"Hmph," I cross my arms and put on my pouty face. We stand there staring at each other for a while.
"A-akari?" I hear a timid voice and me and weird dude turn.
"Hina-chan!" I lanch myself at her and give her an attack hug. "Let's go get ramen, Hina-chan!"
"But w-we had r-ramen l-last night. D-don't you want someth-thing e-elsse?" She asks.
"Nope! I'm gonna bring my housemate too! You'll love each other. He's really warm~," I'm still hugging her as we walk. The weird guy stands there looking funny. I give him a peace sign.
"W-who i-is he?" She asks.
"I don't know yet, but I slept with him last night." I smile up at her.
"Y-you WHAT?!"
"What? There's nothing wrong with sleeping with a stranger every once in a while. You should try it sometime. Hey! You can have a sleepover with me and him! It'll be so fun! Come one!" I drag her all the way to my new house and enter through the front door, which still hasen't been locked.
I lead her up to the bedroom (This sounds so wrong - sorry i'm immature~) and slam open the door. He's still sleeping.
"Huh. He's been sleeping for a really long time." I walk over to him and shake his arm, turning him over in the process.
"Um.. I d-don't th-think i-it's a g-good idea to d-do that." Her eyes are wide and she seems slightly afraid.
"Don't worry, he's nice." I continue shaking him.
"Hn. Go away..." He mumbles.
"HE LIVES!" I shout, causing him to jump up, awake and alert.
"Good, you're awake! Let's go." He quickly gets up and grabs a kunai from the floor and holds it deffensively.
"Who are you?" He asks, his eyes in narrow slits and his voice dripping with malice.
"Huh? No one told you?"
"Told me what?" He asks, still holding up the kunai.
"I'm your new house mate~!" His eyes widen and his jaw drops to the floor.
"Hn." Is all he says as he puts the kunai down and picks up his clothes. He oges into the bathroom.
"What do you mean 'no'?"
"Hn."
"Well anyway, hurry up. We were going to go get some ramen. We'll be waiting outside for ya! Let's go Hina-chan." I drag her by the arm outside where we wait. We talk for a while about my new dude freind. Aparently his name is Sasuke Uchiha. Interesting, very interesting.
Sauke comes out of the house with his hands in his white khaki shorts. He looks mad as he storms out and straight past us.
"Hey Sasuke! Wait! Where are you going?" I run after him and Hina-chan follows.
"To the Hokage." He replies simply.
"Why?"
"Hn." He must like making that noise.
"I'll come with you. Hina-chan, do you wanna come too?"
She shakes her head slitely, "I th-think it w-would be better i-if I went h-home. Goodb-bye Akari-san."
"Ahh. M'kay. We'll wat ramen together another time. Bye bye!" We wave to each other and she runs off in the opposite direction.
I follow Sasuke to the Hokage's office. I wonder why he wants to see the old man Hokage. Mybe he's like to thank him. He won't be lonely anymore!
"Hey Sasuke?"
"..."
"Sasuke~?"
"..." He walks faster.
"Saassuukkee~~~" I pout and walk backwards so i'm faceing him as we walk.
"Hn."
"Yay! You answered me! My name's Akari! I just want you to know that you are very warm." I say. He gets this weird look on his face.
"What?" He sounded annoyed.
"When we selpt together you were very warm. Oh! That reminds me that I was gonna ask you 'bout that. Do you sleep with strangers ofter? I think it could be fun."
"..." He looked confused, annoyed, and constipated all at the same time.
I smile as we walk in silence, me still walking backwards so I can look at him. He still has that funny look on his face. OMG!
"A duck! That's it!" I turn around and walk beside him. "You're a duck! It's so perfect! Your hair, your face, and you're so warm and fluffy! Awe~" I turn to him and think of a little baby ducky. So cute~
Sasuke runs into the old man Hokage's building and up the stairs to his office. I never noticed that there were som many other people in his building. You think it'd only be the Hokage, but I guess not. The other people look at us as we pass by.
When we get to the door Sasuke pushes it open and barges in. He's lucky it was only the old man Hokage doing boring paperwork, or he woulda gone all ninja turtle on him. Wait a second. He is a ninja. Now all he has to do is become a turtle. I'm sure there's a ninja turtle out there somewhere. I will make it my life's goal to fund him!
"Why hello Sasuke, Akari. What can I help you with today?" He asks with a smile.
"Why would you ever.." He looks at me with disgust. What did I do?
"Make me live with her?" He looks back at the Hokage.
"What do you mean? Miss Akari needed a place to live and you live aone. Why not?" He's still smileing. Sasuke seems to pause for a second, probably wondering what the punishment is for punching a Hokage in the face.
"Put her somewhere else."
"I'm afraid I can't do that. There is no one else she can stay with and still be monitered. I think this is a great idea. You'll get used to it." Someting about that smile made Sasuke back down.
"Hn." He walks out of the room. I keep standing there.
"He doesn't like me. What did I do?"
"It's not you Akari. He's just not used to being around people. I put you with him for you and him. He needs someone in his life to help him, and I think you can do that. Will you accept the mission? It's top secret."
"Yes sir!" I salute to him. "I am honored." I start to leave when he calls my name.
"Akari, wait. Aren't you forgeting something?"
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... No?"
"Heh. It's your first day at the academy. You better get going or you'll be late."
"Ah! That's right! Thanks old man Hokage! See ya later." I make a hand sign and poof away.
When I poof back to the house Sasuke is just enerting the front door.
"Hey Sasuke!" I wave as he looked up, surprised to see me here. "Hurry or we'll be late for school! I even made us lunches!" I hand him a lunch and drag him by the arm back out the house. I had picked up some food on the way home, since Sasuke didn't have any food left. Now huis refridgerator is stalked full!
He remains silent as we walk - or in his case gets dragged - to the academy. This is my first time going to school. Well at least the only time I can remember. This is going to be so much fun!
When we arrive Sasuke pulls his arm out of my grasp. He leeds the way to the classroom. I look around and am amazed at everything I see. Soooo cool~! Sasuke stops at a door and opens it, walking in. There are already kids in their seats and a teacher at the front of the classroom. He looks over at us and speaks.
"You're late Sasuke." He seems surprised. I guess Sasuke likes to be early. "And who are you?"
"Me? I'm Akari! I'm gonna be a student now." I find Hina-chan and wave. She blushes and waves back.
"Oh, right. Akari. Everyone, this is Akari Sasaki. She will be joining us," He introduces me to everyone.
"Ciao everybody!" I wave at everyone.
"You can take a seat now. miss Sasaki." The only seats open are two in the front, as the seat next to Sasuke filled almost emediately. Wow. The girls really like him. I take a seat and start paying attention to the teacher. Another ninja - a jounin, I believe - comes in frantically and whispers something to the sensei.
"Ugh." He facepalms. "I'll be right there." He turns back to us. "Exuse me for a second, class. I'll be right back." He and the jounin person quickly run away. I wonder what they're diong. I get up and walk to Hina-chan who is sitting next to a boy with a dog.
"Hello!" I say to the doggy on the boys head.
"H-hello Akari-san." Hina-chan says shyly.
"What's up, baby." The dog boy says and winks.
"Oh, hi. Who're you? My name's Akari."
"I'm Kiba."
"Who's this?" I pet the cute doggy's head and he woofs.
"That's Akamaru." He watches as Akamaru rubs agaibst my hand and barks. "It looks like he likes you."
"Ya. He's sooo cute~!"
"Woof!" I pet him one last time before turning to Hina-chan.
"Hey Hina-chan! You wanna eat with me during lunch?"
"S-sure."
"Yay! You can eat with us too, Akamaru!" He barks and Kiba pouts. "You can come too Kiba-chan!" He blushes and takes Aamaru from on top of his head. I walk away to go see Sasuke.
"Hey! Where ya goin?" Kiba-chan calls after me.
"No, Sasuke's MINE!" I hear someone yell. She has pink hair and pretty blue eyes.
"Hi!" I wave but I don't think she sees me.
"Sasuke would never like you, bilboard brow."
"Pig!" She shouts. Maybe if I stand in front of her she'll see me. I move in front of her and feel a pain in my nose. Everyone is quiet and still as they look on. The pin haired girl had made a move to punch the blond one she called 'pig' but had hit me.
"Ouch. That hurt. I'm sorry." I apologize for being in her way.
"U-um. It's alright...?"
"Hi! My name's Akari! What's yours?" I smile and wipe a drop of blood from my nose. Man she punches hard. Don't wanna get on her bad side.
"Sakura." She seems dazed, like all of the other people in the room. They're all making 'O's with their mouths.
"Cool. You're really pretty!" She snaps out her daze.
"Thanks." She glares at the blond and sticks out her tongue.
"Psh. Whatever. She's just trying to be nice." The blond crosses her arms and looks away.
"So, whatcha up to?" I ask.
"We were ju-" She's interrupted when the sensei comes back in. He dumps a squirming blond tied up in the middle of the room. He starts to yell at him.
"Tomorrow is the graduation exam and you've failed it the last two times! This isn't time to be causing trouble!"
"Whaterver..." The blond boy murmmers.
"Time for a Transformation Jutsu test! Everyone line up!" Everyone groans.
"This is all you fault Naruto."
"Yeah, Naruto. You ruin everything."
"What did you do this time?"
Everyone seems to dislike this Naruto. Not cool dude. I line up next to Haru-chan and wait for my name to be called. He said we had to transform perfectly into him. I can do this. After Hina-chan I go. I transform into him and make a funny face. Everyone but sensei laughs.
"Thank you Akari, that's enough."
"Hehe." I change back into myself and stand off to the side with Hina-chan. We watch as Naruto transforms into a naked girl. I laugh my butt off at sensei when he has a nosebleed. Pervert. Hehe. After everyone finishes sensei dismisses us to lunch. I meet up with Kiba-chan and Hina-chan.
"Hey! Come eat over here!" I say.
"What? Why?" Kiba asks. I lead them to an empty classroom. Empty excpet for Sasuke.
"Hey Sasuke!" He almsot chokes on his ramen that I packed for him but swallows instead.
"You like the ramen. Made it myself." I take out my lunch as I sit next to him. Hina-chan and Kiba-chan stand there surprised.
"Hn."
"Awe, thanks Sasuke."
"I didn't say- argh. Nevermind." He mumbles as he keeps eating. Hina-chan and Kiba-chan join us. For most of lunch Sasuke remains quiet, but the rest us talk away.
When school is over we head back home. I walk with Sasuke.
"That was fun, don't you think?" He growls and walks with his head down and his hands in his pockets.
"What do you want for dinner? I can make anything? I think I'm gonna make a pie. Yummmmmy~! Cake. Do you like pie?"
"Hn."
"I'll take that as a yes." We head home and when we get there I make dinner and a blueberry pie. Sasuke really likes pie. He ate half of it. I ate the other half. Afterwards he goes into the bathroom to get ready. I get undressed until i'm in a tanktop and my girl-boxers.
"Ahh. So comfy." I sigh as I lay down on the bed. I close my eyes for a second and take a deep breath. The next thing I know I'm dreaming about pie and ramen. Good times, good times.
~o~
Sasuke's P.O.V
When I come out of the bathroom I get undressed and crawl into bed. The light is already out and I can't hear Akari. What was the Hokage thinking making me live with her. Hn. I lay my head down on the pillow and close my eyes.
"G'night Sasuke." I sit up in bed and quickly turn the light on. Ugh. Why is she in my bed. Maybe I can just push her off. I put my hands on her back and push. She doesn't budge. She's like a rock. Fine! I'll sleep on the floor. I get out of bed and take a blanket off the bed along with a pillow. She's so annoying. I don't know how long I can put up with her.
I close my eyes and fall asleep to her soft breaths.
