"My first impression is that I hate you."

Naru flinched as those words echoed in her head. Why her? What had she ever done to be hated? She just didn't understand. It was one thing for the villagers to hate her, for her classmates to hate her, but she didn't even know this new guy. So what reason did he have to hate her? She wondered as she walked up the steps to the roof behind Sakura and Sauske.

She had flat out refused to go in front of them, knowing that if she did Sakura might think it funny to stab her in the back with a kunai, like last time. She had'nt really hurt her when she had done it. Especially since she had missed her internal organs, but it had been a close thing, and she had bled until she started to feel dizzy and weak.

She stepped through the door that led to the small fenced in area on the roof of the school and was momentary blinded by the sun. It was so bright and dazzling that she let out a low yelp, and tried to cover her eyes as she heard Sakura snicker and say. "God what a retard. She's acting like the light hurts her eyes."

If Sakura had ever payed attention to anything but Sauske she would have known that the light was hurting her eyes.

Kakashi watched Naru stumble over to a spot in the shade and blink to clear her vision before she bothered to sit down. His lips curved into a small smile when he realised that she had decided to sit as far away from the other two. Probably in an effort to keep from being picked on again.

"Alright. Now that everyone is here. Let's introduce ourselves."

Sakura raised her hand, shocking for a girl with no manners. "Yes Sakura."

"Why don't you give us an example of how it's done? Oh! And Naru does'nt speak. I think she's stupid or something."

Kakashi frowned at her words. Both the 'stupid' comment and the 'she does'nt speak' part. "Maybe...Sakura, if you were a bit nicer and more considerate of Naru's feelings, she might speak." Then again maybe the girl simply had nothing to say to any of them. Luckily for him he had her file memorised so wheather she spoke or not would be up to her.

Sakura frowned at him and turned her head to glare at Naru. The stupid bitch was making her look bad in front of their sensei! "Would you show us how it's done, sensei?" Sakura asked as she turned on the charm. Kakashi's eye twitched a bit. Was the pink haired monster a moron?

He sighed. "Fine. My name is none of your buisness. My hobbys are reading, gardening, and bothering my friend Gai. My hope is to be married to a woman of worth and have a family. My dream is none of your damned buisness. Now one of you go."

Naru, Sauske and Sakura all stared at him with frowns on their faces. All he had told them was his hobbys and his hopes.

He had'nt even told them his name!

Kakashi looked at Naru and caught her staring at him and smiled and winked at her. Naru stiffened and turned pink as she realised that he was playing with them. Every word out of his mouth was designed to make them lose their tempers and storm off. But why? Why would he want them to do that unless he didn't want to be their teacher. Or maybe he was hoping to catch one of them alone for some reason.

She wrapped her arms around her stomach and doubled over where she sat, dragging her knees close to her chest suddenly feeling scared. What he caught her alone? What would he do to her? "Naru." She tensed when a pair of sandals entered her line of vision and her teachers voice could be heard close to her ear.

Her heart hammered in her chest as she tilted her head and peeked up at him. His face was so close to hers that she actually squeeked and scrambled back away from him a few feet. He said nothing as he watched her move as far from him as she dared. She was frightened, he could see it in the way she hugged herself and tried to look small.

She must have figured out his plan to get the other two to leave and was worried about what would happen if the two of them were left alone. "Naru, the Hokage asked me to walk you over to his office once we're done here."

She looked at him, actually looked at him. In the eye! She had the most vivid violet eyes that he had ever seen. Completely different from the color that he remembered from when she was a child. Her eyes had been azure blue way back then.

Did the color change have something to do with the demon? He wondered as he moved in close to her and noted the way she flinched when he reached out. He thinned his lips as he felt a painful pang in his chest and gently placed his hand on her head and ruffled her hair affectionatly then moved away, and noticed the shell shocked expression on her face before he turned back to the others and continued the meeting.
