Hi.
Welcome to the first true chapter of Monochrome Blood, Lee and Si have been writing this as a bit of fun... This is actually a first for me (Lee) as I have problems with my own writing most of the time. Anyway, we hope you enjoy our story, we have clothes and other examples on our profile so yeah... enjoy them... and Guess what the song lyrics from each chapter are from, okay? Thanks.

Disclaimer: We do not own... everything but Aiko and Kayuri... I think...

"WHAA? BOARDING SCHOOL?!" The two Kosora sisters, Aiko and Kayuri yelled.

"That's what I said." Their mother confirmed, frowning a little at their screaming.

"Well, you two refused to move with us to Sunagakure, so we're sending you to Konoha College." Their father elaborated.

"How is boarding school supposed to solve this?" Kayuri, the oldest, argued.

"Especially Konoha College; it's one of the spiffiest schools in the Land of Fire! How are you supposed to pay for that?!" Aiko said, backing up her sister.

"Your Grandfather is the headmaster, and he agreed to let us send you there for free." Their father said firmly, "and you'll be going there until we say otherwise!"

"Besides, girls," Their mother said in a lighter tone, "I'm sure there'll be cute boys there!"

Kayuri immediately brightened up, "Oh yeah, it's not one of those bogan all girls schools, is it?" She remembered.

"Phft." Was the only response from Aiko, who was far from being as into guys as her sister was into them.

"You get a new laptop from the money we're saving."

"O RLY?" Aiko was suddenly as happy as her sister, "Is it a swishy one?"

"As good as it gets." Her mother reassured her.

The two sisters exchanged glances, seeming relatively happy with the turn of events now that they had learnt of its benefits.

"Start packing, your flight is in two days." Their father said, leaving the room.

`~.`~.`~.`~.`~.`~.`~

After a whole lot of hustle and bustle a few hours before, the girls and their parents were at the airport.

"You packed enough clothes?" Their mother asked, in the fretful, motherly, and normally incredibly annoying way that most do.

"Yep." Aiko said with a yawn. She didn't enjoy waking up before nine on Saturdays.

"No~!" Kayuri whined in a way that made her sister chuckle.

"Wouldn't fit in your bag, huh?" Aiko asked, smirking.

"Nuh-uh."

"And you still didn't pack enough, even though you filled up that family-sized holiday bag and another one?" Aiko teased.

"Tsch. Just 'cause you're not fashionable." Kayuri defended herself.

"I don't need to be fashionable." Aiko said, suddenly putting on a theatrical voice, "My perfect guy will be just fine with me only wearing jeans, cargos and t-shirts. And you've seen for yourself how magical the cargo pockets are."

"Magical pockets…. Pah." Kayuri said under her breath.

Having heard her older sister's muttering, Aiko pulled a Skittle out of one of her many pockets, popping it into her mouth.

"Okay, I give up. Your cargos are wondrous." Kayuri said, holding up her hands as a sign of surrender. Kayuri smiled widely as Aiko placed a Skittle in her hand.

"So… you girls have to go to Gate 4." Said their mother, having been previously occupied with finding out the details of her daughters' trip.

"All passengers on the 10.30AM flight to Konoha please make your way to Gate 4. Your plane is leaving in one minute."

"GAH!" The sisters exclaimed, fumbling for their bags.

"Quick girls, go, go!" Their father urged them, a shadow of a cringe on his face.

"Bye, mum! Cya, dad!" They cried over their shoulders as they ran.

"We love you!" Their mother called out.

`~.`~.`~.`~.`~.`~.`~

"I can't believe it…" Kayuri groaned, "We actually made it."

The two girls collapsed down onto their seats, letting their bags fall to the ground at their feet. Just then, the seatbelt sign came on.

"Just in time…" Aiko commented, "You know, this is kinda good. I hate waiting."

"Ha! Let's see you say that when you miss your next flight!" Kayuri said.

"But it's all fine… because now we can gouge ourselves on chocolate, creaming soda, Skittles and whatever else I tossed into here when I bought the supplies for this flight." Aiko said, pulling out a green shopping bag filled with all kinds of goodies.

"True. But you bought way~ too much! You won't have any money left at all."

"Relax. I used your wallet to by the groceries, not mine."

"You. Did. WHAT?" Kayuri half-screamed.

"Whoa, you're not gonna actually EAT all of that, are you?" A voice said, interrupting the pending torture session.

With their question mark faces on, the sisters turned their heads around to look at the voice's owner, a blonde haired boy with sky-blue eyes, about the same age as the girls.

"Uhm…" Aiko looked at the mass amount of food in the bag once more, "We would like to, but we don't quite plan to become obese before we get to our new school. I don't think they would handle deranged fat people very well."

"But it's tempting… all that chocolate…" Kayuri added. The boy laughed.

"You think you're deranged? Or is that just a side-effect obesity and mass consuming of chocolate?" The blonde questioned.

"Nup, we're psychotic." Kayuri stated, poking her tongue out in a cute manner, "We're the psycho sisters."

"So you're going to a new school? Which one?" He asked after laughing again.

"Konoha~ College. Our grandfather's the principal, so we get to go there free." Aiko informed him.

"No way, you're related to the old man?" Naruto asked, a look of surprise lighting up his face.

"You know Grandpa Daigo?" Aiko asked curiously.

"Yeah! Me, Sasuke and Gaara all go to Konoha College!" He said, gesturing to the other two boys who had been sitting next to him. Hearing their names, the two turned to see who their friend was talking to.

"Guys, these girls are related to the principal, and they're gonna attend this year!" He explained, "Oh yeah, I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and this is Uchiha Sasuke and Sabaku Gaara. We're all ninth graders this year. Except Sasuke, he's in year ten."

"Kosora Kayuri and Aiko." Kayuri responded, "Nice to meet you guys! Aiko's in year nine and I'm in year ten."

Aiko did not say anything, because her eyes were locked on the one closest to the window, Sabaku Gaara. She saw something… strange in his sea foam coloured eyes… something that was cold and hurtful.

"Hey." Greeted Sasuke, a small smile gracing his features. Aiko finally broke away from her staring, glad that Gaara himself had not broken his gaze from his window. As soon as she looked at Sasuke properly, she had to try her absolute best to restrain herself from laughing out loud. Of course, she failed.

"What?" Sasuke frowned, guessing that he was the cause of her sudden outburst.

"Your… hair…. You look like a cockatoo!" She managed to get out between giggles.

"See Sasuke! I told you I wasn't the only one who thought that!!" Naruto said to his raven-haired (or cockatoo haired) comrade. Kayuri just smiled.

'But a hot one, at that.' She thought as her sister finally finished laughing.

"Hey, Gaara! Say 'hi' already!" Naruto scowled at the unsocial redhead, who seemed to be paying no real attention to the scene on his right. Gaara finally turned to look at the girls a second time.

"Hello."

'That's it? Just "hello"? Hm…' Kayuri thought.

'Who are you, Gaara?' Aiko thought, sounding more like something out of a movie than she was aware.

"So, anyway, you guys want any chocolate?" Kayuri offered.

Reviews and feedback are lurvely :D

Lotsa Lurvess Kayuri and Aiko

P.S. When Kayuri thinks 'But a hot one, at that...' She's referring to Sasuke's cockatoo-ness. So she's basically thinking 'He's a hot cockatoo, at that...'
