"Boys, hurry up, or you'll be late for your first day of the Academy," Harry called up the stairs. Naruto, Gaara, and Sasuke came running down the stairs. Sasuke had moved in with them about two months after they had met. He had just shown up in the middle of a thunderstorm with his bags. Kakashi chuckled as they entered the kitchen and sat at the small table that was in there.

"Don't you have your own apartment," Harry teased.

"Yeah, but you're cooking's better than mine," Kakashi replied, smiling. Harry rolled his eyes, before dishing out breakfast to everyone.

"Alright, you lot be good," Harry said, before turning to Gaara and Sasuke, "And you two watch Naruto. Not a lot of people like him."

"Uncle Harry!" Naruto whined.

"Sorry, Naruto, but you know it's true," Harry said, frowning. Naruto sighed.

"I know."

"I'm sure you all will make friends. Now get going!" Harry said, smiling again. Naruto, Gaara, and Sasuke smiled back and ran off into the Academy. Harry gave a scowl as several of the parents getting their children off to school glared at him. Harry waved his wand inconspicuously, smirked, then apparated away.

Fifteen people went home, looked in the mirror, and screamed at the sight of bright yellow hair and whisker marks.

Shibi Aburame watched the blonde child he knew to be the boy the Kyuubi was sealed in. He, the Uchiha child, and a red-head were speaking with a man Shibi assumed was their guardian. He watched the three run off and the man scowled. The man waved something, smirked, and disappeared. Shibi looked to the general area where the man was scowling too, and saw that most parents had blonde hair and whisker marks like the boy they had been glaring at. Shibi gave a small smile. Things were getting more and more interesting everyday.

Iruka smiled as his students for the next four years walked in. Several of the girls tried to sit in the only seat that was next to Sasuke, as he sat next to the window. Gaara grumbled under his breath about crazy fan girls and used his sand to transport him into the seat. Several of the girls, particularly Ino and Sakura, started to yell at him for stealing their seat. Naruto tried to hold in laughter. Gaara's eye had started twitching. Sasuke was smiling a little, causing several of the fan girls to swoon. Naruto rolled his eyes and sat in the back row. Kiba made even more girls start yelling by sitting in the seat next to Gaara, pushing the girls even further away from their Sasuke-kun. Shikamaru just shook his head sitting on Naruto's right.

"Fan girls are such a drag," he said, before drifting off to sleep. Naruto sighed, and levitated the loudest of the two girls (Ino and Sakura, or course) and put them in opposite corners of on the opposite side of the room from Sasuke.

"Everyone settle down," Iruka said, as Shino sat down to the left of Naruto.

Sakura wasn't the happiest person in the world. She had been picking on Naruto at the beginning of lunch when this white owl came out of no where and stated pecking her on the head. Then her Sasuke-kun had come over and taken Naruto by the wrist, dragging him away, to sit with him and Gaara. Ino giggled when she saw Sakura, then tried to sit next to Sasuke herself, only to be chased away by the same white owl. Both girls turned to see the owl land on Gaara's head, and turn to them with a look that (in their opinion) said 'That's all you got?'. Ino and Sakura growled. That owl was going down.

Hedwig landed on her master's red-headed child's head. Those two girls wouldn't be messing with her charges again. After a look back to make sure they were staying away, Hedwig hooted, and Gaara gave her some bacon that Harry had put in his lunch for Hedwig. Hedwig took it, and glided down to the table to eat it. She noticed a bug from the boy with the dark glasses coming over. She knew those bugs were off limits, so she wouldn't do anything to it, unless it harmed one of her charges. After finishing her bacon, Hedwig investigated what the bug was doing, and deciding it wasn't a threat, she flew off to find her master, and perhaps a nice rat.

Shino was curious. He knew it was Naruto who had levitated Ino and Sakura, but he didn't know how. He asked one of his Kekkai bugs to investigate. That was before he saw the owl. He was worried for the little bug, but relaxed after the owl only investigated the bug, before taking off. He heard the bell for the end of lunch and saw as the Kekkai bug attached itself to Naruto.

"You okay Naruto?" Iruka asked, as the rest of the students left. He had seen Sakura picking on him earlier. Well, attempting to anyway.

"Yes, Iruka-sensei," Naruto replied, gathering his things and grinning, "Are you coming over for dinner tonight? Kakashi's going to be there."

"When isn't he?" Iruka chuckled, "If it's alright with Harry-san, I'll come."

"I'm sure he won't mind. He likes to cook, and he gets to cook more when more people stop by."

"Hurry up Naruto!" they heard Sasuke yell from down the hall.

"Later Iruka-sensei!" Naruto called, as he ran out of the room.

"Later."

Hedwig, deciding that the bug had done enough investigating, flew down and landed on her master's blonde child's head. She fished around in his hair until she found the small Kekkei bug. She gently used her beak to pick up the bug before taking off and landing on the bug boy's head. She let the bug fall onto his shoulder before taking flight again. Shino's eyebrows rose at this.
