+OK, first off, Gomennasai…for writing in Japanese…I did try to translate in the sentences I incorporated them in, but if I've annoyed you…I apologise…

+Secondly, I forgot this annoying thing sigh…

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, only Inkunata.

+Thirdly: I'm writing sections of this story in different points of view: eg. Inkunata first person present tense, Sasuke second person, etc.

+ Lastly: I know Hyuugas have those haunting pale eyes (which I love…grins), but if I'm going to combine Ino, Sakura and Hinata, I'm going to add a part of each - I've already tied up her hair like Ino - only Inkunata has two ponytails not one, given her Hinata's hair colour, so I'm giving her Sakura's green eyes.

R&R!!

Inkunata wanted Sasuke to come with her to her teacher's office after the first class - there being no point to actually go to the class, because she was basically expelled from the block - but firstly, she guessed he wouldn't be allowed to stay anyway, and second, he had already left. She walked, head down, eyes cast to the ground trying to think of excuse of why she shouldn't be kicked out of the block…but as she got closer and closer to the office her hope kept dropping and dropping. She knocked softly on the door. No answer.

"Heyyy!!" she began to yell, pounding her fists on the door. "Open the door! I need to talk to-"

Just then Mr. Teacher opened the door and she hit him square in the face with her fist. She gasped. He yelled out in pain and clutched his nose.

"Inkunata-san!!"

"I'm sorry!" she cried, giving small multiple bows. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I just ca-"

He shook his head violently, still holding his nose as he turned her around by the shoulder and prodded her along. "No, no, be quiet-"

"But-"

"Shush, stop talking, just move…just…"

As they walked towards the martial arts block, Inkunata tried to glance back to see his expression, but every time she turned her head he turned it back to the front.

"Keep moving," was his muffled order. Inkunata wanted to laugh at him and cry for herself at the same time. This is it, she thought. I'm going to a new block. This is really it.

The teacher swung the door of the block's office open and went to the desk to talk to the secretary about Inkunata and her new curriculum. Inkunata stood with her head bowed and she fidgeted.

After her teacher had finished, he handed Inkunata her new books for the first day and motioned to Inkunata to follow him to her second class - since the first was finished.

"The rest of your books will be taken to your locker - number 267. Remember that."

Inkunata nodded.

When they arrived he sighed at her. "You know only you are to blame for this. You left me no choice."

You left yourself no choice, you- She just nodded. He opened the door for her. She looked in.

"He began to walk away. "Good luck, Inkunata-san."

And with that Inkunata was left to start a new school life, and she suddenly felt like she was starting preschool all over again.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Sasuke looked up as he heard voices and the door open from his English class. His jaw hit the floor when he saw her poke her head though the door. Her ponytails swished by her face and her large green eyes darted around the classroom. Sasuke hoped she wouldn't spot him.

"Is this English?" she asked innocently.

Their teacher, Kakashi Sensei, just looked at her with his normal gaze and nodded. "You must be Inkunata. Come in."

She nodded, seeming surprised he already knew. Sasuke expected her to sit next to him, but she made eye contact with no one until she sat down. Then she wasted no time in staring at each person in every desk. It stunned Sasuke. Each gaze she threw at her new classmates made them stop staring at her and turn to watch Kakashi. Sasuke noticed someone preening behind Inkunata. It was Naruto. When Inkunata looked at him, he gave her a huge grin and mouthed, "Hi, I'm Naruto." Sasuke saw her give a small smile and blush. When she looked at him, he didn't smile or give any expression at all, and neither did she, to his surprise. She just finished her round of staring and paid her attention back to Kakashi.

He received no acknowledgement of his existence from her all English and Maths class. He, on the other hand, managed to control his curiosity to glance at her after about ten minutes. He was glad when the break came. Inkunata walked straight to him.

"Hi!" she said brightly. He raised an eyebrow.

"So, you speak to me now?" Sasuke said, picking up his books and making his way to his locker. She ran up to catch him and walked beside him. He received weird looks from the people they passed.

"What did you want me to do? I knew you wouldn't smile or do anything. So I mirrored you."

Sasuke shook his head as he reached his locker, which was the last locker bay in the hall. This girl is insane. "The way your mind works never ceases to amaze."

At first she paused, seeming to contemplate in her mind how to take his comment, but then she brightened again and nodded. "Thanks!" Sasuke shook his head.

Then her voice turned anxious. "I don't know where my locker is."

"Have you considered looking for your number?"

"Number?"

"Your locker number."

"Oh. Right. 2...7...6, I think? No, 267. Yeah, that's it."

Sasuke froze. Oh no. Tell me her memory's as bad as her brain.

"Uhh…are you sure?"

She nodded enthusiastically. "Yup. I'm sure. Do you know where that is?"

He slowly pointed to the locker two down from his. She squealed. "Hey, look! We're in the same locker bay! Yay…" She dumped her books on the floor - damaging one of Sasuke's eardrums - and set to unlocking the combination lock on it. Sasuke watched her turn each dial down the side of the lock with a concentrated look on her face. He sighed.

"Do you even know your combination?"

She looked at him sheepishly. "I assumed it was 0-0-0."

He rolled his eyes and turned them to 2-6-7. She brightened.

"Oh! It's my locker number? I wasn't told that."

I'm sure I'll have a lot of things to tell you in this next few months, he thought.

She stuffed her books in her locker and closed it. Then, putting her hands together behind her back, she looked expectantly at Sasuke. He blinked. "What?"

"I want to come with you," she said, smiling. He sighed.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

I follow Sasuke as he reluctantly shows me around the school - after all my nagging. I think I got annoying, but I…love to be…with him…and I really don't know anyone else, either.

We walked through the hall and he pointed out each classroom

"This is the gymnasium," he said, opening the doors. I look around. "This is where we learn martial arts." My eyes go wide.

"Ohh noooo…-"

"Stop whining. Come on. These are the doors to get outside from the gym."

He leads me to the back of the huge gym and I gasp as we walk out onto the path. It is lined either side with beautiful cherry blossom.

"Oh Sasuke-kun!" I gasp. "It's beautiful! Have you ev-"

"Yes, yes, it's great," he says. "It's also what they spend half of the money we pay them to plant this type of stuff."

I blink at him as he sighs and stares up at the pink trees. He looks at me briefly before walking again, and he has such a swift pace I need to jog a little to catch up. I plug my ears as a deafening scream pierces my ears and makes me consider buying earrings.

"SASUKE!!"

The owner of the voice runs up to my tour guide and tries to hug him, but he holds his hand out and she halts before him, panting and giving happy bursts in the form of squeals. I keep my ears plugged dramatically and she looks at me. I seem to annoy her. Sasuke pulls my hands down from my ears with a scowl that spells, Stop being so immature.

"Sasuke, who's this?"

He looks at me, and I think I see something like…what, fright, maybe? Nah, can't be…

"New student. Showing her around school."

This girl has short, floss-pink hair and green eyes that are quite large as she looks at Sasuke. I feel out of place. Maybe I should leave. I start to take a little step, but Sasuke throws me a look that tells me to stay put. I don't like being ignored, so I stick my hand out. "Inkunata," I offer. She accepts my hand, gives a fake smile and tells me her name is Sakura. Then her attention is on Sasuke again.

"So, I was thinking," she began, her voice laced with hope, "Maybe we could train together this weekend."

Sasuke didn't look at her as he grabbed my wrist and began to walk past Sakura. "I'm busy."

I saw Sakura's face drop as we walked off, and I can't help but feel sorry for her. "Sasuke, that wasn't very nice of you," I say.

"Stop being so emotional. She asks me the same thing every day - if I'm lucky, twice a week."

I shouldn't poke my nose into other people's business, but maybe if I just ask one thing…

"So, is she your girlfriend?"

Sasuke recoils and looks at me in shock. "W-What?!" His reaction. It amuses me.

"I said, is she-"

"I heard you the first time. And NO."

I let out a loud sigh of relief and he glances at me with curiosity, but I don't feed it by returning his gaze.

"Sasuke-kun, can I ask you something else?"

"I hope you're not going to ask me if Kakashi is my father or something."

"No," I giggle. "Where do you live?"

He is taken aback by my question. "What?"

I shake my head, my ponytails brushing my face. "No, I'm not stalking you. I mean what area?"

"Central Valley. Why?"

I shrug. "Because you catch the train. Just curious. How come I've never seen you, except when you're late?"

He shrugs. "I board the fifth carriage."

"Oh. I'm on the second. Hey, Sasuke-kun…"

He growls. "What now?"

"What subject do we have next?"

He looks at me, the corner of his mouth curving up. "Gym class. Double period."

"You m-mean…"

"You know what I mean."

The bell went. Sasuke headed to the lockers and I stood in horror. My first martial arts class!
