"Nami-chan. Nami-chan! Nami-chan!"

I woke up with a start. Hotaru had shaken me awake. I must have passed out during class again.

"I'm up, I'm up." I muttered sleepily. Hotaru frowned at me.

"How are you supposed to get your dad to teach you when you can't even stay awake in class?" She whispered harshly. I was about to defend myself when something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention.

"Hotaru, is that guy staring at you?" I raised an eyebrow at my friend. A boy in our class with a blue hair, yeah I know BLUE, was staring at Hotaru with a strange look in his eye. Hotaru glanced over to where I was looking and sighed deeply.

"Oh yeah, him. His name is Aoi. I don't really know him but Kaasan says he's a family friend." She shivered slightly at the next part, "He's been doing that all week. It's starting to creep me out." I sympathized with my friend. In my old life I had somewhat of a stalker too. He was a weird boy that lived on the same street as me. He would follow me home after school and just stand outside watching me until I went inside. When I finally confronted him it turns out he just wanted to give back a pencil I had lended him once.

"Maybe you should talk to him." I suggested. Hotaru shook her head so fast I thought it was going to fly off.

"No way!" she exclaimed. I pouted in thought. Maybe I should confront him for her?

As soon as my thought finished sensei called out that it was lunch break. I told Hotaru I would meet her at our usual spot. I ran off before she could question me. Mr. Blueberry hair-sorry Aoi was very good at hiding. It took me most of lunch to find him. It turns out he was in a tree watching Hotaru eating. I probably should have checked there first now that I think of it.

"Hey you!" I shouted from the bottom of the tree. Aoi fell from the tree at my loud voice. I stared down at him as he picked leafs from his hair.

"Why are you stalking Hotaru-chan?" I asked with a frown. The boy started to fidget, nervous under my gaze.

"I uh, I don't know what you're talking about." I glared at him.

"Oh, so you weren't just sitting in a tree watching Hotaru-chan as she eats then?" I questioned sarcasm dripping from my every word. Aoi glanced at the ground before gazing at Hotaru.

"I just- uh, I thought she was pretty…" he mumbled, his face reddening as he spoke. I shook my head at this.

"Well you're not going to win her over this way. You should try talking to her." I suggested. His blush deepened. "I can't do that!" He whisper shouted at me.

"I guess you'll never win her over then." I said as I left. I sat with Hotaru and began eating. Aoi came over not long after that.

"Um, Hotaru-san?" he asked, shifting his feet around.

"Yes, Aoi-san?" Hotaru replied. Aoi blushed deeper than what I thought humanly possible and tried to stutter something out. Just then a boy came running out of nowhere shoving Aoi into Hotaru.

"S-sorry Hotaru-san." He said while scrambling to get up. Sadly as soon as he got to his feet a bunch of girls ran by trampling him. I tried so hard to keep in my laughter. He got up trying to run away and tripped on a branch falling into some poor sods lunch. Aoi tried to apologize but he just got a fist to the face. Now trust me, I felt bad for the boy but I couldn't help but laugh. He had such bad luck!

The day after that Aoi stayed as far away from Hotaru as possible. He feared if he even looked at her he would get some sort of bad luck. Hotaru was just glad he wasn't stalking her anymore.

The next week I came home feeling accomplished. After long time studying I got my first B+. Mother was ecstatic but father told me I had to get no less than an A if I wanted him to teach me. That ruined my mood.

I stole one of my father's scrolls and decide I was going to teach myself. Now even with a 22 year olds mind, reading that scroll was hard. It had symbols everywhere and wasn't organized well. That wouldn't stop me though. I spread the scroll on my bedroom floor and begun. While trying to focus on the sink in my bathroom I ended up breaking a cup. It wasn't on purpose of course, but sticking your hand out blindly while muttering 'use the force', I admit wasn't the best idea.

That should have been my first clue that things weren't going to end well. After cleaning up the broken cup I started again. This time I stood over the sink with a hand under the running water. I focused my chakra into the water and pulled my hand away quickly. The water didn't follow nor boil instead it just kept running normally.

Frustration started to build up inside of me. This was probably the main reason everything went wrong. I grabbed the faucet and pushed a whole bunch of my chakra into it. That wasn't that smartest thing. The faucet broke and water begun to spray everywhere! I was soaking wet by the time anyone found me. Mother stopped the water spilling everywhere and Father scolded me.

'You're grounded'. That's something no child wants to hear. Unluckily for me, being grounded meant staying in my room, no reading, no nothing. Let's just say it was the most boring week of my life.

I tried practicing my kekkei genkai in my mindscape to past the time.

"Ok one more time." I muttered to myself, my hands resting just on the top of the small pond. I poured my chakra into the water. It started a slow boil and then it stopped. I yelled out in frustration. This was annoying me. Why couldn't I do it? Mother could do it without thinking twice! I was furious! I couldn't stop thinking how angry I was at everything; at my ability for not working, my mother for being perfect, and my father for not teaching me. My angry grew and grew till I could bare it no longer. I screamed out, all I could see was red. The water from the small pond began boiling. The water bubbled and the steam clouded my vision.

I took a breath. The boiling came to a halt. My anger was gone. I stared at the pond in front of me. It was no longer bubbling or giving off steam. It was my anger that made my kekkei genkai work? I guess boiling water and anger go hand in hand.

A/N: Yeah third chapter! Anyway the poll is still open so remember to vote for who you want Nami to be paired with!
