Last night, Kai taught Naruto about the basics of reading and writing. He hadn't been taught due to circumstances, but he was so determined that he got the alphabet down, along with some handwriting to make it look less sloppy. It was at least a little decent. She helped make dinner which was instant ramen since she could only do so much. He was forced to take a bath, along with Kai who didn't know why he was uncomfortable. They cleaned his apartment, much to the blonde's dismay. Once they were done, they played some board games and asked facts about each other before Kai had to go home./p

Kai wasn't nervous, instead excited. I mean, who wouldn't be excited to talk to the Hokage to meet other people, especially since she was isolated of them. The villagers didn't really know what to think of her. Sure she was an outsider and helped the supposed 'demon' but was also an innocent little girl, making people wonder why she even talked to Naruto. Kai and Naruto's relationship were at best friends, since that's what Naruto wanted to do so that no one could claim her before him./p

Today, Kai wore white jean shorts that reached half way down her thigh and a plain yellow shirt that reached below her waist. She really liked the colour yellow. It was just so happy. She couldn't really do anything about her hair since it was so short. She put on some white converse (shoes) and began to make breakfast. It was nice making breakfast and having someone to take care of. This morning, she made omelette with some toast. She heard a bang next door, Naruto's room. She made her way out of the door and knocked on the other one. Naruto came to the door grumpily but his eyes lightened seeing style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Morning Kai-Chan!" He style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Good morning Naruto, now get ready; today we're going to ask Hokage-Sama if we're aloud to go to the academy." She said. She looked at his pyjamas. She face palmed. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"You've only just gotten up, haven't you?" Naruto just rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled./p

He remembered that today, Kai would take him to get ramen. They walked out the building together like normal. As they were walking, the duo saw Mikoto, Itachi and Sasuke so Kai waved at them. Mikoto waved back while Itachi slightly nodded and Sasuke scoffed looking away. He wanted to rile Naruto up again. It worked but Kai calmed him down. They walked to the building that had the kanji for fire on it. A white haired ANBU style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Morning Naruto."br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Morning Dog-San!" Naruto smiled. Kai looked at style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Naruto-Kun, you know him?"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"He's one of the ANBU who watch over me." He informed. Kai was slightly confused but left it at that. The office-nin were also quite nice to Naruto except that one new ninja who was confused on why the boy who his mother called a demon was here./p

Naruto knocked on the door hearing a gruff 'come in!'. They walked in to see the usual ANBU guarding the room along with an old man who wore a bandage over his right eye with other old people. They all looked so... cranky. br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"We're in a meeting brats! What do you think you're doing here?!" This frightened Naruto and Kai, but instead of standing forward, Naruto hid behind the greenette's style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Now, now, I'm sure Naruto and Kai have come to ask something important." The only kind elder, the Hokage, style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Oi Jiji, we're thinking 'bout starting the academy, what d'ya think?" Naruto asked. Danzo style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"That is no way to speak to the Hokage!" The old woman shouted. Sarutobi looked at her telling her to be style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"I'll sort out the arrangements." Hiruzen smiled. Naruto began style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Absolutely not!" Danzo shouted. "Hiruzen, you do realise who you are allowing to go to the academy, with an- an, an outsider!" This made the duo frown. Kai stood in front of Naruto once style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Danzo, I'm sure they both don't pose a threat. Besides, we'll make sure that Naruto doesn't prank you anymore." Hiruzen said giving a reassuring smile. Naruto giggled at the thought of a red faced Danzo with feathers all over style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"You start tomorrow."/p

He went home and pestered Kai to help him with grammar and math so that he was on par with other academy students. Kai herself learned about the two since she only had a little bit./p

Naruto and Kai had just gotten ready for bed and Kai was going back to her style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Kai?" Kai looked back from the door to see Naruto in his usual blue pyjamas. "Do you think that they'll hate me?"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Who?" Kai asked in style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"The other kids." Naruto style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Well, if they hate you then they must be the dumbest people ever to not see this adorable, fun child instead of a supposed 'monster'."

She walked to his apartment door. She banged on style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Naruto-Kun! Wake up!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"OKAY! Okay!" Naruto replied. Kai just went back to her own apartment to get ready. She wore the same outfit as the day before. She did her normal routine and made omelettes and rice. She went back to the other door. Her banging got style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Naruto-Kun! Breakfast!" He came out the door in a yellow flash (See what I did there?) and ran to the table and stuffed it down his throat. Kai also ate her breakfast before Naruto grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of the building./p

Kai, being naive as ever, smiled at style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"So it's not that way, or this way, so that means..." He mumbled so Kai couldn't hear him. He grabbed her arm and started dragging her in the direction of a large style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Come on slow coach!" Naruto shouted running at the speed of his father. They stopped so abruptly that Kai fell forward onto her style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"KAI! ARE YOU OKAY!" The boy got on his knees. "I'M SORRY! DATTEBAYO!" Kai looked at style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"...Ano, it's fine." She said as she got back up. She flicked his style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Kai-Chan!" Naruto said rubbing his forehead.

There were so many children going to the bulletin board to check their classes and sign in. Many parents were slightly scowling and glaring at Naruto, telling their sons and daughters not to go near him. Naruto frowned at the sight./p
