New Students

"Did you hear?" Sakura whispered to Ino. The oddly pink-haired girl didn't normally speak with her former best-friend. Today, however, was to be different. The rumors of new students had been flying around for the past day ever since the principal had been overheard talking to Iruka.

"About the new students? Who hasn't by now?" Ino clasped her hands together and sighed deeply. "I wonder if they'll be the dreamy type." She shot a brief glance full of hatred toward Naruto. "Let's just hope they aren't total dorks like Naruto."

"Ugh, don't even get me started on him." Sakura moaned. One Naruto was bad enough running around and getting them in trouble. If there were two of them? Sakura shuddered at the thought. "That's a nightmare waiting to happen."

"Everyone quiet down!" Iruka shouted from the front of the classroom. He held a clipboard in his right hand. Naruto groaned inwardly. This meant there was going to be a test today. He would be alright as long as it wasn't the clone jutsu. He was terrible at that! Iruka scratched the long scar across the bridge of his nose. "Alright. Let's get started. Today we have two new students. They are about a year older than you guys and have been placed here under special permission from the Third Hokage. They are foreigners to this country as refugees, so I ask that everyone do your best to help them through the curriculum." He opened the door and ushered the two newcomers inside.

Instantly there were squeals from the fangirls erupting around the room. "They're so cute!"

"I just want to cuddle them!"

"The white-haired one is almost as good-looking as Sasuke-kun!"

"I wonder if he is similar to Sasuke-kun's personality?" There was another round of squeals at the mention of Sasuke's name.

Killua deadpanned at all the crazy females in the room, "I'm not interested in any of you." He really wasn't. They were going to be joining the military in a month, yet they were still acting like this? It was ridiculous and pathetic at the same time. Killua didn't know whether he wanted to laugh or cry.

"Come on Killua. I don't think they meant any harm by it. Besides, there might be a pretty girl you might actually like." Gon smiled brightly and sent several girls swooning.

"Do you not see the rabid girls slobbering over there? They will maul you Gon!"

"Eh? Killua that's rude! Everyone knows you should treat a lady with respect."

"Gon, sometimes I swear…" Killua trailed off and decided to let it rest. At this rate, Gon would be more popular than him. Heck, Gon was always more popular with the females for some reason. Maybe I should follow Gon's advice for once. He puts me to shame. Well, he also attracts the freaks the majority of the time.

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" The room went silent as they stared at their huffing teacher. He cleared his throat and continued in a normal voice, "Now. Allow me to introduce our new students—Gon Freecs and Killua Zoldyck. They are members of the newly formed Nen Clan."

"Nice to meet you!" Gon waved to everyone in the class.

"Same." Killua responded distastefully and shoved his hands in his pockets. Iruka looked around the room and pointed to the two empty seats beside Naruto.

"You two can sit over there."

"Um, Iruka-sensei?" Naruto muttered nervously.

"Yes Naruto?"

"I'd rather they didn't…."

"And why is that?" Naruto glanced nervously at the rabid hoard of fan girls boring holes in his back.

"Uhhh…." If he said something, all the girls would pounce on him. Either way he was in a bad position.

Killua chuckled and pointed at the seat beside him. "Too late. It's seems like Gon already wants to be friends."

"Hi. I'm Gon. So you're Naruto?" He held his hand. Naruto accepted it cautiously.

Why isn't he hitting me or calling me a monster? This kid is strange. Even my classmates don't like me. "Yeah. I'm Naruto Uzumaki." Another hand was shoved in front of him.

"I'm Killua. You'll have to excuse Gon. He gets over excited sometimes."

Naruto smiled and let out a laugh, "Sure. My name's Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to be hokage! Believe it!" Naruto grinned deviously and lowered his voice to a whisper. "So, do you guys like pranks?"


A/N: Thank all of you guys for your wonderful reviews. :)

I figured I would address this question since it's been asked: Where is Alluka? Well, I originally had Alluka mentioned, but I must have deleted it when I was editing. Alluka is back in the HxH universe under a protection system Killua set up. He is being well taken care of.

As for the last chapter, it may seem like filler, but it will play an important role later on. Next chapter, I'm going to focus on some different characters.
