First Chapter! I've been trying to publish at school, but even though I can get on FF, I can't publish anything. So I'll be writing them at school, uploading them to the site, then publishing them when I get home. Perfect solution. Wow... Not that you care... Anywho, on to the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I'm just not that awesomesauce.


"KAI! Get up! You're gonna make us late!" Anko yelled. I groaned and buried my head under the pillow. "Don't make me get the bucket!"

I bolted upright. "I'm up!" I called, running over to my closet and grabbing my favorite skinnies and a lowcut black t-shirt, which I put on over a red cami. Grabbing my favorite Vans from under the bed I hopped to the bathroom as I slipped them on. I quickly ran a brush through my hair and applied some eyeliner. I would've preferred more time to get ready for my first day, but I overslept, as usual…hey, I love to sleep. You can't hold that against me. I ran back to my room, grabbed a couple rainbow jelly bracelets off my nightstand and my backpack off the floor.

I bolted downstairs and she tossed me a pack of PopTarts. "Arigato, Oba-san!"

"Yeah, whatever… c'mon, let's go." She smirked, and I grinned back. Despite her gruff response, she's a softie. At least, she is towards me. I think I'm the only teenager who ever gets to see her sweeter side. Lucky me.


I inhaled deeply, calming myself. I was nervous, not that I would let anyone see that. I walked through the doors with my chin up, looking as confident as I could. Anko walked away, leaving me at the mercy of the tidal wave of the student body. Thanks…

"Excuse me," I tapped a blonde dude on the shoulder "Can you tell me where the office is?"

"Sure! You must be the new girl Anko was talking about in ISS yesterday!" He seemed…. Quite loud. Friendly enough though, and I figured we'd get to be friends.

"She was talking about me?" I asked nervously.

"YEAH! She said if anyone did anything to you that you didn't like and she found out about it, she'd castrate them. She seems a little protective, ne?"

"She's my aunt…" I mumbled, "Great, now no one will want to talk to me because they think I'll rat them out to the 'evil' proctor…"

"Nah, don't worry about it! No one takes her seriously! Besides, anyone can get on her good side by giving her dango... you can get away with anything then!" I sweatdropped. "I'm Naruto, by the way!"

I smiled "Kai."

"Can I call you 'Kai-Hime?"

"Uh, please don't…."

"Kai-chan?"

"That'll work."

We walked into the office where we were greeted by a lady with black hair. The nameplate on her desk said "Shizune." She smiled at us. "You must be the new student. Mitarashi Kai, correct?"

"Hai."

"Here's your schedule. Naruto, would you show her to her homeroom? Maybe you could give her a quick tour first, though."

"ALRIGHT!" He bolted out of the office, leaving me in the dust... Maybe he forgot about me already?

I calmly left the office to find Naruto hanging out by the door talking to a boy with black hair pulled back in a ponytail. He looked absolutely bored to tears.

"Naruto," I said sweetly, "Did you forget about me already?"

"N-no! No, of course I didn't forget you... I just-"

I giggled. "It's okay, I was teasing. Who's this?"

"Nara Shikamaru. And you're the new kid everyone's talking about, right?"

"Yup," I grinned. "Mitarashi Kai. Nice to meet you! Naruto was just gonna show me around. You wanna come along?"

"Sorry, I have to go talk to Asuma-sensei. See you around." He walked away, and I turned to Naruto.

"What's Asuma teach?" I asked.

"Oh, he's actually the guidance counselor. Shikamaru is always talking to him. I think it's about college or something, because he doesn't seem to need the emotional help."

"Ah. Hey, who's homeroom are you in?"

"Kakashi-sensei's. He's also the health teacher. What's your schedule say?"

"Same!"

"Hey, lemme see that!" He snatched the schedule out of my hands. "Looks like we won't need the tour after all. At least one of my friends are in each of your classes if I'm not. I'm sure one of them will be happy to show you where your next classes are!"

He led me to homeroom. When we walked in the door, everyone got quiet. Did this happen to all new kids? A man with silver hair walked over to us. What surprised me was, based on the color of his hair, I would've thought he'd have been older. He seemed around thirty-five though, not old at all. "You must be Kai. Would you please introduce yourself to the class?"

Everyone stared at me expectantly. "My name is Mitarashi Kai. I'm fifteen. I love dango, and uh... that's about it..." Blank stares. Oh, this is gonna be fun...


End of first chapter. Not much happened. It's really short... Gomen nasai... T.T Review? Constructive criticism? Invisble grammar monster is being mean! He won't help me...

Monster: You don't deserve the quality help I give.

*Sigh* See what I deal with?
