Hey I'm back, I know I only posted last night, but this is mostly a trail run for the characters because I want to write them in the actual Narutoverse. Anyway like I said yesterday I don't own Naruto just the ocs.

Hiraku

We were forced to wait for the girl's brothers to leave the house before we could walk to school. I could tell that Saki was going to back out. She had one foot behind the other. This was her typical pose for spinning around and taking off running. I grabbed her shoulder tightly.

"No running Saki. Haven't we done enough of that?" I whispered in her ear as she had done to me earlier. This earned me a sharp elbow to the ribs.

"Shut up Hiraku. If I remember correctly the last time we ran it was because of you." Saki hissed her eyes straight forward, but she wasn't seeing what everyone else was seeing, she never did.

"No need to rub salt in the wound my dear." I growled. Saki whirled on me her waist length braid spinning with her body.

"Oh you mean like you did this morning?" She hissed menacingly. This morning? What had I done this morning?

"Huh?" I asked confused. Saki's golden eyes narrowed. Murder was written on her face.

"Um.. Maybe you should knock it off or you'll scare the neighbors away. I actually want to make friends here." Hideki whispered. Saki hung her head. Ah I was thankful that at least Hideki could humble Saki, we wouldn't want her to get a big head after all.

"Alright Hideki. Just remember if we have a repeat of the 'incident' we'll have to leave again." Saki reminded him. Ah yes the "incident". Saki was refusing to let me live it down. Even though it wasn't entirely my fault.

"Hey, who are you guys?" A brown haired boy asked as he stood by the blonde who'd offered to walk with us.

"I'm Hideki, these are my friends Hiraku and Saki." Hideki said pointing to me and Saki when he said our names.

"I'm Kankoru, that's my annoying sister Temari." The boy answered.

"Now we're just waiting for Gaara. Kankoru where is he?" Temari asked.

"Do you really think I'm stupid enough to look for him?" Kankoru answered back. Saki was pinching the bridge of her nose. Temari looked at her and instantly perked up.

"Oh I have a great idea. Saki why don't you go look for Gaara. He should be the last door on the left once you get upstairs." Temari suggested. Saki wanted so bad to glare holes into Temari's head, I could feel the anger coming off her in waves.

Instead of attacking Saki pulled her bag off her shoulder and threw it at me. It hit me in the chest like a ton of bricks. Damn what did she have in here? "I'll be back." She grumbled though Kankoru had a look on his face that said he doubted that statement. What was wrong with this Gaara kid that made his own brother doubt that a girl he barely knew would come back alive? Saki stomped into the house and disappeared.

"She will come back right? You didn't just feed her to the proverbial lions did you?" Hideki asked Temari seeing the same doubt on Kankoru's face that I had.

"What are you talking about? Saki should be fine." Temari said though there was something in her eyes. Our parents had taught us to read people and I was reading all danger signs for Saki from Temari and Kankoru. Despite the fact Saki and I bickered and fought she was always there when I needed her and I was there for her even if she'd never admit she needed anyone.

"What is it that makes you doubt Saki will be safe?" I growled.

"Gaara's tempermental is all. And as long as your girlfriend doesn't provoke him she should live." Kankoru answered with a shrug as if he didn't care one way or another.

"One Saki is so not my girlfriend and two it's that Gaara kid that should watch out. Saki will rip him to shreds from the inside out." I snapped. My fists curled. They sent Saki to go get some temperamental person just so we could walk to school. Why couldn't they do it? I looked towards their house. I would just have to trust Saki on this one.

GAARA

There was a knock on my door. I looked towards my alarm clock. Seven forty. It was most likely Temari or Kankoru. I glared as I opened my door. I was surprised to see a girl I didn't know. She had long reddish purple hair pulled back into a braid, gold eyes, and a bored expression. "Who are you?" I growled. The girl looked up from what she was doing with her hands.

"You're siblings sent me to come get you." She said. She slipped the nail file in her hands into the top of her boot.

"That's nice, but you didn't answer my question." I informed her. Her eyes rolled.

"And I'm not going to." She replied turning to go back downstairs. I grabbed her arm.

"Why not?" I grumbled. Why had Temari and Kankoru sent her up here?

"Because my name is at this moment is my business not yours." The girl said calmly. "Now come on we're going to be late if we don't hurry up." She continued. I let go of her arm and the two of us headed downstairs and outside where Temari, Kankoru, and two boys I didn't know waited.

"Well I'm glad you didn't die." The white haired boy said with a smirk his light blue eyes twinkling with unvoiced laughter. The girl rolled her eyes.

"Something I missed?" She asked turning to the black haired boy with bright green eyes. He nodded. She sighed and shook her head.

"Well that's everyone. I think we can head to school now." The white haired boy said. We started towards the school.

It was mostly silent until, "what's this 'incident' you were talking about earlier?" Temari asked our neighbors.

"Nothing." The white haired boy growled. The girl glared at him obviously wanting to hit him, but deciding against it.

"What he means is we'd rather not talk about it." She covered. The third member of their trio remained silent.

"Ok..." Temari trailed off. She wanted to pry, I knew her well enough to know that, I just didn't know why she hesitated to do so. "Well if you ever feel like talking I'm here." She told them.

"They won't." The black haired boy finally spoke up. "Saki because she'd rather write everything down and analyze it to death trying to figure out what she could have done to stop it. And Hiraku won't talk about it because well he's the one at fault." He said simply as if it was only natural for him to state these facts that his friends probably didn't want known.

"Hideki you traitor!" The white haired boy, Hiraku, shouted stopping to grab the black haired boy, Hideki, by his collar. Hideki merely closed his fingers around Hiraku's wrist and squeezed until he let go of him. The two glared at each other until the girl, Saki, pushed between them glaring at Hiraku.

"Are you two done yet?" She snapped glancing from side to side now looking at both boys.

"Sorry Saki." Hideki backed off quickly. Hiraku didn't want to give.

"Hiraku, that's enough." Saki hissed as the two stared each other down.

"Maybe this can wait until after school. I mean we're almost there." Temari said. Hiraku nodded probably realizing it would be best to face Saki with less witnesses around.

"Good." Saki breathed out as Hiraku sulked but turned to continue walking to school. Saki turned to Temari. "Thank you, and I'm sorry that Hiraku can sometimes get out of hand." She said formally. Hiraku muttered something darkly under his breath.

Finally we made it to the school. "I guess this is where we part ways each grade is in a different wing of the school." Temari explained to the new kids.

"What grade are you guys?" Kankoru wondered.

"Freshmen." Hideki said.

"Same grade as Gaara figures." And with that my older siblings left me with three strangers. What were they thinking?
