Oni P.O.V

I released a long sigh as Naruto and I finally made it to the old apartments blocks we both lived in.

"Ahh we're finally back" grinned Naruto as he did a few stretches a little. I released yet another sigh as I watched him poorly perform a range of different stretches.

'Idiot'

"Thanks Oni-chan for helping me with my head and standing up for me, it's the first time anyone has ever done something like that for me," he said after he was finally done stretching. My eyes widened slightly before returning their usual shape.

"I didn't protect you," I replied whilst looking away. A grin appeared on Naruto's face as he pointed an accusing finger at me.

"Oni-chan I know I'm clumsy but I'm not stupid, that man he wouldn't just punch me twice. At least 4 times, it's happened a few times." explained Naruto "Also I saw his unconscious body lying on the street" he said with a cheeky grin. I smirked and slightly lifted up my hands in surrender.

"Guilty." This action caused Naruto to laugh a little.

"Oni-chan I'm glad I became your friend, you're funny" he grinned."And nice" he added.

"Whatever" I muttered whilst crossing my arms in front of me. It was weird being complimented after years of being put down and insulted.

"Oh and Oni-chan thanks for walking me home" smile Naruto. I gave Naruto a weird look.

"I didn't walk you home"

"But I live in that apartment there." Naruto pointed to the apartment next to mine.

"Ok." I walked to my apartment door and started to open it.

"Hey Oni-chan do you live there?" questioned Naruto I nodded my head whilst continuing to opening my door

"Really? Then can we walk to the academy together?" He asked I nodded my head again.

"That's great! I'll see you tomorrow, be ready at 7:30 so we can go to Ichiraku for breakfast."

"Ok," I said as I opened my front door. I walked into my apartment then proceeded to close it however before it could fully close I heard Naruto voice one more time.

"Goodnight Oni-chan" A small smile graced my lips as the door behind me closed.

"Goodnight Naruto"

. . .

"I'm stuffed" breathed Naruto whilst rubbing his stomach. I too released a long breath and nodded my head in agreement before heaving myself off the stool and walking down the path towards the ninja academy.

"Oni-chan where are you going?" asked Naruto

"School"

Thanks to my enhanced hearing I could hear Naruto as he ran to catch up with me.

After 10 minutes of walking, we finally arrived at the academy with only minutes to spare. We both walked into the classroom and took our seats near the back. The lesson had only just begun but I could feel someone's gaze burning holes into the back of my head. I frowned and decided to turn around only to see a boy with raven colour hair shaped like a ducks' butt staring at me. I hardened my gaze to glare forcing him to look away before turning back around.

'Annoying brat' I thought as I felt his gaze return to me but instead of choosing to turn around again I decided it would be best to ignore it as I saw no reason to acknowledge an annoyance.

Sasuke's P.O.V

I clenched my fist as memories of my brother murdering my clan repeated over and over in my head like a broken record. That guy, how could he? My clenched fist tightened as I remembered the gruesome memories of my parents being decapitated in front of me. A memory which was engraved on my brain. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the classroom door open then close, this caused everyone who was present in the classroom, including me, to look up at the two newcomers. Naruto and the new girl. My raven eyes followed the new girl's movements as she followed Naruto across the classroom to her seat in the row in front of me. Her wild long black hair flew behind her in long black locks and her furry brown belt looked almost alive as it seemed to dance around her waist. I frowned as I watched Naruto practically yell in her ear despite her being right next to him. She was friends with the dobe which meant she was either stupid or using Naruto. I studied her back wondering why she'd want to hang out with that idiot, someone who was hated and despised. A couple seconds later she turned around and sent me a cold glare. I felt my body freeze as her raven eyes seemed to send shivers down my spine. I quickly tore my eyes away from hers to look out the window and avoid eye contact. Her glare was similar to Itachi's yet so different. I slowly turned back to study her back. Who was she and what did she want? A flow of questions rushed through my mind as I continued to study her back. Despite all my questions I did know one thing, she was different... very different. Whether it was good or not I didn't know, that was something I needed to find out.

. . .

After class, I watched as Oni had a quick conversation with Iruka-sensei before walking out of class with Naruto. It didn't make sense, why would she hang out with him? Nothing made sense with her I needed an answer to my question and to investigate her more, so I followed them.

Oni P.O.V

Why was he following Naruto and I? What did he want? I cursed as I felt anger begin to bubble inside of me. Was I already being spied on so that I could be disposed of? Perhaps.

"Oni? Oni-chan. ONI-CHAN!" I looked up to see Naruto waving both his hands in front of my face

"What?"

"If you were listening to you would have heard me say goodnight," He said crossing his arms.

"Oh,"I looked around to see that we were at the apartments and that the sun had gone down. How long had we been walking and how long had the Uchiha been following us.

"Oni-chan you're so mean you didn't even say goodnight, not even yesterday" pouted Naruto. Just like yesterday a small smile graced my lips.

"Goodnight Naruto," I replied whilst walking into my flat. How was it he was able to me smile, someone who was so damaged.

"Remember Oni-chan same time tomorrow" was the last thing I heard before I shut the door.

Naruto... just who was he and why did he make me smile..?

I released a long sigh before walking towards the bedroom.

'Why is everything here so annoying?'
