Atsuko's POV
I awoke in Tou-san's bed this morning. What in the world am I doing here?!
I groaned and accidently fell off the bed. My hand hit something on the dresser, making water spill in my hair. I heard a cup fall against the tatami mats.
"My heeaaad," I groaned.
I felt a stream of cold water go down my back, causing me to arch my back.
"AH, COLD!"
I heard the door open. Maybe that's Tou-san. I rolled off my stomach and rolled on to my back.
"What are you doing in my room, Suko?"
"I was going to ask you that question, Tou-san."
I sat up and shook my blonde hair, spraying water everywhere.
"Alright, let me get dress and I'll see what I can do about breakfast. You go get ready, Suko."
"Okay."
I got up and left his room. I went to the bathroom and took a shower. After, I went back to my room to get ready. I basically put on a clean set of clothes that I had on yesterday. That's my new ninja uniform. Man, it feels good to say that!
I went to the kitchen to see how big of a failure Tou-san is at breakfast, only to be proven wrong. A delicious smell filled my nostrils. I looked up to see Nii-san cooking. Of course he'll make a great breakfast.
I rolled my eyes at my nii-san.
"Tou-san said he had to get to the office, so I made breakfast for you, Imouto," Nii-san explained smiling.
I nodded.
"What are you making, Nii-san?," I asked.
"An omlet," he responded.
I sat down at the table.
Nii-san set a tea cup down in front of me.
"Thanks," I thanked.
I drank my tea before Nii-san is done cooking the omlet. When he's done, he gets a plate to set the omlet on, and hands it to me with a fork.
"Thanks," I thanked again with hunger in my eyes.
I began to eat my food quickly, so I can get to the academy soon. I got up from the table and left. I decided to go to Mayumi's house first. When I reached her house, I saw her coming out of her front door. She had on a black skirt on with gray leggings under it and a red long sleeve shirt on.
"Hey," I called to her.
She looked at me and smiled. I ran over to her.
"Hey, Suko-chan," she greeted.
"Hey, Yumi-chan," I greeted back.
"You look different," she said.
"You do, too," I said.
"I guess because we're ACTUALLY shinobis now," she laughed.
"Yeah. We're konichis," I said.
"That's the word to call us now."
"Yup."
"Well, we better get going before we're late."
"I agree."
We started to head to the academy, eager to know our new teams. When we got there, Lee Sensei was already calling out teams.
"We're later?!," I panicked.
"Yes, now sit down," Lee Sensei ordered.
Mayumi and I scurried to our seats. We began to whisper to each other.
"How are we later?!," I whispered-yelled to Mayumi.
"I don't know, Suko-chan!," she whispered-yelled back.
"GIRLS!," Lee Sensei yelled.
We turned to look at him.
"Stop talking," he scolded us.
"Yes, Sensei," we said lowering are heads at the same time.
"Okay, now. Team 8...," Sensei said.
We were that late?!
"Sasaki Mayumi, Fujiwawa Takeshi, and Tadayoshi Shou," Lee Sensei said.
"Who?," Mayumi scrinched her eyebrows together.
"Yeah, I don't know them either. Maybe because they just don't matter," I explained.
"Maybe," she shook her head.
"Okay, next team. Team 9, Uzumaki Atsuko...," Sensei called my name.
"Huh?," my small ears perked up.
"...Yamado Nao, and Koboyashi Dai," he finished.
I stood up from my seat.
"WTF?!," I cursed.
"Atsuko, do NOT use that language in my classroom!," Lee Sensei scolded me.
"I don't care. How the hell are all 3 of us are on the same team?!," I yelled furious.
"Yeah, Lee Sensei. I have to agree with demon over here," Dai stood up, too.
"Teams are based on how weak and strong you guys are," Sensei said.
Dai and I looked at each other. We plopped down in our chairs at the same time.
"Okay, your new sensei will be here in a minute. Meanwhile, sit with your teamates," Sensei told us.
I sighed and slumped in my chair. I closed my lavender eyes. I'm not going to be able to go on missions with these guys. Ecspecially since we all hate each other. Well, Nao and Dai don't hate each other. Just me.
"Wake up!," I heard Nao yell.
I felt a horrible pain on my head and I immediately opened my eyes.
"Ow! Who hit me?!," I yell at them.
Nao hit me.
"I did it," he said.
"Stop doing that," I whined.
Naruto's POV
"Hahaha! They are screwed," I had to laugh.
"I'll try to pass them," Fumiko smirked.
We were standing in the next room looking at Atsuko and her new team argue through the cracked door.
"Haha,I-I can't take it...hahaha!," I tripped into their classroom.
Everybody looked at me.
Atsuko's POV
"Hokage-sama?!," I heard everybody scream surprised.
I lifted my head to see Tou-san standing in front of the board.
"Ah, not this guy," I said crossing my arms and rolling my eyes.
"Okay, when I call your team number, go into the next room," he told. "Understand?"
"Understood, Hokage-sama," everybody replied.
He started calling the teams 1-8 leaving us, team 9.
"Okay, since your the last team, you can stay here," Tou-san told us.
Our Sensei walked into the room. Dai and Nao's mouth literally hit the floor. My eyes widen slightly.
She was gorgeous!
She had long black hair, green eyes, and a huge bust.
I looked at Dai and Nao. Their noses were dripping blood. I raised my eyebrow at them.
"This is Fumiko," Tou-san introduced.
"Hey, you three," she waved excitedly.
I know I heard that name before…
"I'll leave you four alone," Tou-san dismissed himself.
"So,I'm Fumiko Sensei. I love to do pranks, training, and spending time with my boyfriend," she introduced herself. "Who wants to go next?"
Boyfriend. That's it!
"Jun," I self consicously said.
"Hmm?," she looked at me.
"Is your boyfriend…Jun?"
"Ah, yes. So, you know him?"
"You know, I stayed with him for the last couple of years and I never seen you."
"Well, he didn't want you to see me. And I saw him when you went to school or sleep from your training."
That teme! He lied to me!
"Er, okay I'll go next. My name is Uzumaki Atsuko. I love to play pranks on Tou-san and spar with him, I love my family, and ramen," I told them.
"Nice. You must be pretty strong if you can pull off a prank on Hokage-sama," Sensei said.
I nodded.
"Okay, Dai, why don't you go next," Sensei suggested.
"Uh…okay. I love to fight, eat dangos, and being a shinobi," he said.
'Oh trust me, its not going to last to long,' Fumiko thought laughing in her mind.
"Nao. Your turn," Fumiko Sensei turned to him.
"Fine. I love to train, play sports, and hanging out with my Otou-san," he said.
Fumiko Sensei nodded.
"Alright, now that the intros are done, time to get to the serious stuff," Fumiko Sensei told us. "Don't eat breakfast tomorrow!"
We jumped at her sudden outburst.
"W-Why?," I stuttered.
"Because, you'll just throw it up," she simply said.
We started to shiver.
"You have a training excercise to do. If you don't pass, you'll be back in this place," she said hitting her hand on the desk." Be back here at 6:00 in the morning."
We gasped.
"Ho-How many t-teams will pa-pa-pass," Dai stuttered fright taking over him.
"Three. And there are 9 teams. You have a 20% chance of passing," she said. "But since you two boys don't like the girl, your chances are 0%."
"What does us not liking Uzumaki have to do with anything?," Nao asked raising an eyebrow.
"I said too much," Sensei smirked.
She disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
"Damn," we cursed.
We slumped back in our seats unsure about what to do.
"I wonder what she meant by that," Dai said.
"Me too," I nodded.
"I'm guessing that if we don't start getting along, we're not going to pass the test tomorrow," Nao said.
"So, we should hang out with her?," Dai asked.
"I guess," Nao shrugged.
"Okay, Demon, what do you want to do?," Dai narrowed his eyes at me.
"First off, lets get rid of the name. I'm not the demon," I said.
I sighed seeing how they won't believe me.
"Alright, since you two are my teamates, I'll tell you the story," I told them the story about the night Kyuubi attacked, how it happened, and why I am its host. They looked dumbfounded once I told them.
"I had no idea," Nao said looking down at the ground.
"Me neither," Dai said sadly.
"Of course you didn't, you never let me explain," I said getting up and leaving the academy.
Dai's POV
"I feel bad," I said sadly.
"Me too," Nao nodded.
I begin to think back to the times when I hung out with Atsuko. She still had the demon fox in her, but she was no different from everyone else. We failed to see her as a person, we saw her as a demon fox.
