Sins and Sunshine
Chapter 4: First female friend
I came early into the academy – like always. Sasuke was sitting in the last row window side – like always. I took the seat in front of him – like always.
I turned to face him.
"Hey, Sasuke-kun. Wanna switch seats for a bento?" I asked nicely. He thought about it than nodded. He switched places and I gave him the box. Good thing I made two this morning.
I leaned back and looked out of the window. The fangirls did yet have to show up. Looking around the classroom I remembered why I loved this seat so much: You have the best view from here! Slowly the others came and it didn't take long until the fangirls stormed in. But unlike the last few times they didn't pounce on Sasuke. Instead they suspiciously eyed me. Maybe they were pondering if I was me or Sasuke... So they decided to just ask the boy himself.
"Sasuke-kun?" a girl asked hesitantly. He merely glanced at her than continued starring out of the window. That was evidence enough for the girls and they started gathering around him again and told him oh how wonderful he is. (Seriously: As if he would care)
Afterwards Shikamaru, Choji and Kiba came and sat down right next to me . As always Naruto came too late and he had to sit on the only empty seat: The one next to Sasuke. (Why of all seats is THAT the free one?) Sasuke didn't like that very much though.
"Scram, dope." He said glaring at the blond. Naruto looked a bit startled but got a grip on himself again.
"Why should I listen to you, you... you teme!" he snapped back. This resulted in the two boys starting a glaring-contest that continued until Iruka-sensei came into class and there wasn't any time left for Naruto to switch seats.
"Good morning class. Today we'll have some outdoor training." the sensei announced. Everyone cheered and ran out of class. Within seconds Iruka-sensei remained alone in the room and didn't even have a chance to explain what we had to do. Well Sensei your fault for not telling us that first.
We were standing on some sort of training grounds.
"I will now divide you into groups of three and you will fight against each other to get a little feeling for battle." Iruka-sensei explained and started to call out some names.
"The next group is Minari..." I pricked my ears.
"...Kiba..." We high fived.
"...and Hinata." I gave Kiba a questioning look.
"Who the heck is Hinata?"
"U-uhm, I'm H-Hinata." someone was stuttering from behind me. Turning around I saw a girl with short blueish black hair standing there shyly looking to the ground.
"Hi, Hinata-chan. I'm Minari." I greeted her nicely.
"H-Hello."
"Minari-chan. How come you don't know Hinata?" Kiba asked. I shrugged.
"Dunno. Never noticed her, I guess."
Kiba decided to fight without Akamaru so the little dog went sleeping under a nearby tree. Then we all went in fighting stance. I came at Kiba and swung my leg at him which he caught with his right hand. I supported myself with my hands on the ground and swung my second leg at which so he had to dodge so I could free myself. Then I jumped in the air because Hinata tried to attack me from behind. She and Kiba exchanged a few hits until I tried with a kick to knock her from her feet. Kiba lunged out at me and I drew back to start a counter but again came at me so I jumped and used his back as a steppingstone. He fell to the ground and I faced Hinata. We started some hand-to-hand combat and damn she was good! Kiba got up and lunged at us. I caught Hinatas arm after dodging her blow and threw her at the boy. They fell to the ground and I sat down at the ground panting heavily.
"Let's have… a break." I got out and lied back on the ground.
"Good idea." Kiba agreed grinning and sat down beside me. Hinata looked helplessly around. I waved her to us so she would sit down with us.
"Man, you two are good." I said while inspecting the bruises that appeared on my limbs.
"I have to return the compliment." Kiba answered scratching the back of his head.
"Uhm, Hinata-chan, can I ask you a question? Why is it that your eyes are this white?" I asked the girl and pondered whether it was okay to ask or not.
"Well t-that's the K-Kekkei Genkai of our clan. The B-Byakugan." She explained shyly looking to the side and playing with her fingers.
"The Byakugan, huh?" I mused.
"What? You don't know the Byakugan, Minari-chan? That's an extremely powerful Dojutsu and only the members of the Hyuga-clan have it." Kiba said startled of my unawareness.
"Well, sorry, but I'm only here of a few days and didn't have time to study the whole history of this village!" I snapped back. I mean seriously, how was I supposed to know that? She could just as well have worn contact lenses for all I know!
"Hey you guys. Who said you could have a break? You are supposed to fight not to laze around." Iruka-sensei scolded us after magically appearing behind me. Okay maybe I just ignored him until he said something.
"We did. Then we got exhausted and sat down." I explained.
"Exhausted, huh? How about you three run five laps around the academy to improve your stamina?"
"What?" Kiba yelped.
"That's not fair! Just because you wanted to take a break we all get punished!" he blamed me.
"Because of me? Why did you listen to me then, smartass?"
"Everyone would be worn out if he gets someone thrown at by some crazy bitch!"
"Well sorry for fighting seriously instead of playing around. How could I've known you're such a sissy?"
"I just didn't want to beat up girls, that's all!"
"Yanno this excuse let's you sound like a sissy even more." I taunted him a grin appearing on my face.
"Oh yeah? I take you down in less then two minutes."
"Show me what you've got!"
Kiba shouted out to Akamaru who instantly appeared by his side. He made some hand signs and Akamaru transformed into a second Kiba. So animals can also use 'Henge'? My grin grew wider as I got into fighting stance.
"S-Sensei. Shouldn't we stop them?" Hinata asked uneasily. The teacher just stood there a smile on his face.
"It's okay. That's what they should do after all."
Some onlookers gathered around us but I didn't care. I simply watched Kiba as he planed his attack on me.
The two Kibas lunged at me from both sides. I grapped the arm of the first one and tossed him on the other one who jumped and attacked me with his claws (claws?). I crouched down and kicked him into the stomach which he blocked with his arm but still flew a few meters. The other Kiba started an attack again. I jumped to my feet to evade his claws but my sleeve got shred and three red scratches formed on my arm. I decided it would be better for my health to avoid his claws.
We got soma distance between us to plan our next moves. I lunged at Kiba-1, Kiba-2 aimed at my side. I got on my knees and swung my leg to knock him from his feet than jumped in the air to dodge Kiba-1 who came at me with his claws. Then I hold on to his shoulders and swung my legs in a circle to hit Kiba-2 into the guts, who tried an air attack. He flew through the air and when he hit the ground he transformed back to Akamaru.
"Akamaru!" Kiba shouted then grabbed my arm and slung me away. I landed more or less on my feet then pushed my off from the ground to lunge at Kiba and kicked to his face. He blocked it with his arm but still fell to the ground.
We were both standing there gasping for air.
"Okay… You're better than I thought." Kiba admitted.
"And I take back what I said. You're not as sissy as you look." I joked grinning which Kiba also replied with a grin and rolling his eyes.
"Well done you two. That's how it should be." Sensei praised us.
"Wow, Minari-chan. You're really good at fighting!" Naruto shouted while tackling me with a hug to the ground.
"You all should follow their example" Iruka-sensei said directed at the crowd of students "and get back to training." The students grumbled but got back to their training.
"As for you three…" he turned to us again "You can go take a break now."
Kiba and I high fived then we took Hinata with us and went back to the academy.
"Hell, yeah! We have break!" Kiba shouted while we walked past the others to piss them off and we received a few deathglares in return.
We still had 10 minutes till the others came for lunch break so it were just Hinata, Kiba and me on the roof.
Kiba slept soundly on the ground while Hinata and I sat on the ground leaning against the wall. Hinata had a blush in her face and looked like she wanted to say something.
"M-Minari-san?"
"You can leave out the -san, Hinata-chan." I told her smiling.
"O-Okay. M-Minari-chan, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"W-What's your r-relationship with Naruto?" Surprised I looked at her. She was now blushing to the colour of a tomato and starring holes into the floor.
"W-Well. H-he hugged you."
"Oh, you like him?" I realized (Yeah, I'm a really smart person, I know.). The girls now started steaming.
"Don't worry. We're just good friends. Just like Kiba. Right, Kiba?" I yelled to wake up the snoring boy.
"Huh? What the?"
"Look. The others are coming."
"Hey guys!" I waved at Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji and Shino as they entered the roof.
"Minari-chan. That was really unfair. We had train until the bell rang." Naruto whined.
"Life's a bitch!" Kiba taunted him grinning.
"Troublesome…" Shikamaru muttered then lied down on the floor and fell asleep.
"Uh, wait. Why is Hinata-chan up here as well today?" Naruto asked only now noticing her.
"You only noticed her now? What kind of ninja are you?" I asked back.
"And that from you. Up until today you didn't even know she existed." Kiba said and received a kick in the face.
"U-Uhm, I…" Hinata attempted to say but got interrupted by me.
"Hinata-chan's my friend, so she'll hang out with us once in a while from now on." I announced happily and winked at her. She understood. If she's with us she can be with Naruto.
"Congrats! Your first female friend." Choji realized.
"Hey, that's right. Minari-chan, how come you didn't have any girl friends up until now?" Kiba asked.
"Look at the deathglares I get from the girls in my class, then you know why."
My first time writing fighting scenes. Hope you enjoyed it.
Got no reviews for the last chapters which made me sad… I had to eat all the imaginary cookies by myself! So please review then we can eat all the cookies together, they even have chocolate sprinkles!
Review for next chapter: Exams?
"Shikamaru-kun, I bet you have a perfect score as fast as you finished the test!" I said happily.
"Naah. The test was just too troublesome so I fell asleep after the first half."
