Fumiko and I became apartment roommates, and lived right next to campus. After we moved in, we took a tour of the campus. Fumiko hummed happily, both of us feeling good and finally being college students.

As we walked we came upon a strange sight. A guy with a helmet shaped hair cut, big eyebrows and wearing all green was yelling as a tall guy with spikey silver hair, "I challenge you!"

We meant to move by them unnoticed but the green man tried to tackle the silver haired guy, who ducked and literally threw the guy, right at us.

We didn't see it coming and he crashed right into us, slamming us into the ground. I growled, feeling like a bug, "HEY! Get off!"

The guy jumped up and said, "I'm so sorry!"

He grabbed our arms and picked us up easily and set us on our feet, "Are you alright?" Fumiko took a deep breath and said, "Fine." She turned to the other guy who came up to see if we were alright and said, "your aim sucks."

I raised an eyebrow at her, "But you have to admit that was a hell of a throw."

She nodded wisely and I turned to them and said, "My name is Ariana McKing, this is Fumiko Suoh."

The silver haired guy, who I now noticed to have an eye patch and half his face covered said, "I'm Kakashi Hatake and I am sorry about that."

The green man said, "I'm Gai Maito."

We shook their hands and I asked, "Do you guys always do this?"

Kakashi pointed at Gai dully, "He always does this. I try to avoid him."

Gai glared and siad, "Your just a coward."

Kakashi shrugged and I grinned and said, "Well, it was nice meeting you."

They nodded and Gai started to yell at Kakashi, who looked like he'd like nothing more then to gag him. as we left Fumiko sighed, "Gai is so cute!"

I looked at her in shock and decided to play along, "If you say so. Kakashi is hot though."

She had to agree and we walked around campus, where we ran into another cute guy, or to be more correct, he ran into us. we turned a corner and a body flew at us, tried to miss us and only managed to trip and fall. I caught him in time and said, "Woah, where's the fire?"

I helped him stand and saw that he had spikey brown hair that was down to his shoulders, a scar across his nice and a sweet face. He panted, "Sorry, I uh."

A girlie voice down the hall said, "Iruka sweetie! Where are you?"

He flinched and I looked down the hall at something revulting. A guy who was built like a wrestler, had on woman's make up, and wore a long blond wig. He twirled a hair tie on his finger and saw us. he scowled and said, "Hands off my man, I saw him first."

I whispered to Iruka, "Play along."

He looked at me in surprise and I winked at Fumiko. She grabbed Iruka's arma dn said, "Sorry tubby, but he's mine now. Right sugar?"

He slowly said, unsure, "Y-yes."

The man glared dangerously and said, "Step off girlie. I had him first. Run along, or else."

I stepped in front of them, glaring dangerously, "Or else what? You'll dress up like the clown you are? Whoops too late."

He snarled and raised a fist, "Or else this!"

Fumiko yanked Iruka out of the way and I stepped in. Grabbed the man's buff arm I flipped him over my hip and slammed him into the ground. He gasped as the wind was knocked out of him and I slammed my heel into his family jewels. He squealed and I leaned in, "Now, your never to bother our friend here again, or else I won't stomp on your jewels, I'll dig them out with a rusty plastic spoon. Are we clear?"

He babbled and I dug in. he squealed, "Yes! Yes! I swear!"

I smiled sweetly and let him up. He slowly crawled away and out of sight. I turned to the guy and smiled softly, "You ok?"

He nodded slowly and I said, "Um, I don't usually pummel guys like that."

Fumiko snorted as she produced a hair tie from her pocket and held it out to him, "Only guys who diserve it. I'm Fumiko Suoh by the way, and this is Ariana McKing."

He tied his hair back, looking less like a frightened rabbit and said, "I'm Iruka Umino. And thank you for the rescue."

I winked and said, "any time honey child. We were just about to head out and eat some lunch, want to come?"

He nodded and as we walked he told us he wanted to be a teacher and we asked him if he knew Kakashi and Gai. At Kakashi's name I noticed the faint blush as he said, "yes, we were in the same classes last year. Gai always wants to fight and Kakashi wants peace and quiet."

We sat at a fast food place and ordered something. I asked, "Where are you staying?"

He said the name of the aprtments and I chuckled, "us too, what room?"

He blinked, "208."

Fumiko laughed, "We're 209!"

He grinned and said, "Neighbors. I guess I could have worse."

I snorted, "Like freakzilla from earlier."

We all shivered and changed the subject. We headed back to the apartments and arrived just as Kakashi was about to enter apartment 210. He blinked as we arrived, eye landed on Iruka a moment longer then us. I grinned and said, "howdy Neighbor!"

He blinked again and said, "Neighbor?"

I opened the door next to his and he chuckled, "Hello Neighbor."

Iruka went into his apartment and we entered ours. We started preparing for class tomorrow and discussed a possible matchmaking of Kakashi and Iruka.
