I woke up the next morning mad as hell. Why? I don't know, I just am. Anyways I took a quick shower and threw on my ninja clothes, I walked out my room to find Kaka-sensei gone, and no breakfast on the table.
Did he really expect me to COOK my OWN breakfast? Does he not know me?
Ok well then I guess I'll just starve this morning...he is going to get a rude awakening once I see him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me: ...thinking I'm gonna fix my own breakfast. Has this man lost his mind?
I mumbled as I made my way towards the school. And if you're saying "she's still on that?" I'll say "yes! Yes the hell I am, do you have a problem with that? I didn't think so"
I slammed the door open when I walked into the classroom.
I took my seat next to Hinata, crossed my arms and legs and glared at the chalkboard, wishing and hoping that kaka-sensei was here so I can slam his head against that chalkboard.
Me: that son of a bitch...
Hinata: A-Aya is e-everything alright?
Me: yep, as soon as I kill a certain someone...
Hinata: W-what!?
I stood up and placed my hand on her head, determined.
Me: I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch!
Hinata: What!?
Me: Hinata! If someone ever makes you do something you don't want to do, it's ok to not do it because it doesn't matter what the hell they say, you're not doing it!
Iruka: Aya, do we have to go through this again?
Me: Iruka, when will you understand that I don't give a fuck!?
Iruka: sit down
I sat down anyways, but not because of what he said. I just didn't feel like standing anymore.
Iruka: anyways, today you will be taking your clone jutsu exam
Me: why?
Iruka: why what?
Me: why would we take another exam to become ninjas?
Iruka: Aya-
Me: didn't we just take one yesterday?
Iruka: yes-
Me: so then why the hell would we do another one?
Iruka: Aya!
Me: no, you shut up this time! Doing another test is unnecessary! Do you want us to fry our brains?
Sasuke: just shut up loser!
Sasuke stood from his seat and slammed his hands on the desk. I did the same.
Me: Sasuke, I am this close to throwing you out the goddamn window!
Sasuke: try it.
Me: ok, you really are testing my nerves.
I jumped on the desk and made my way towards Sasuke.
Iruka: both of you sit down! I will not tolerate you two fighting in my classroom!
Sasuke: fine
He sat back down.
Me: I'm sick of all these sensei's bullshit.
I sat back down and he continued.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soon we were all waiting for our names to be called. When mines was called, I strolled into the exam room and stood there, glaring at Iruka.
Iruka: Aya its simple, all you have to do is create three clones.
I pinched the bridge of my nose.
Me: Iruka, I'm not fucking stupid, don't talk to me as if I am, it irritates the hell out of me.
Iruka: just do the jutsu
Me: fine
I got in my stance, my hands at the ready. I did my hand signs, but something felt off. Not really caring, I did my jutsu.
A puff of smoke clouded my vision. And I was surrounded by two of me. Awesome!
Me: see, I know what I'm doing.
Yeah, my victory was very, and I mean VERY, short lived. A flash of dark black lightning came from my clones.
Me: what the hel-
In an instant they exploded. When the smoke cleared I was greeted by an angered Iruka and a smirking Mizuki. Ok what the hell just happened? I practiced that jutsu with Kaka-sensei over and over again...which means I only practiced it once, became bored of it, bitched to Kaka-sensei about it, then forced him to make me a sandwich.
Me: honestly I have no idea what just happened.
I turned to Mizuki and pointed at him.
Me: I blame you
Mizuki: why me?
Me: because you are the source of a lot of people's problems in the very near future.
Mizuki: I don't know what you are talking about.
Me: oh don't act dumb, best believe I'll be watching you closely.
Iruka: I'm sorry Aya, but you didn't pass
Me: of course! I'm just that aweso- wait what!?
Iruka: I'm sorry
Me: but that's not possible. I told Naruto that I would go with him on his future endeavors.
Iruka: to be honest I don't think Naruto will become a ninja either...
Me: what! Iruka you can clearly see from a mile away that I will never be a ninja, but Naruto is different, and you know that. And to sit there and doubt the kid that respects and looks up to you before he even takes his exam, you can't call yourself a ninja, no, you can't even call yourself human.
I walked towards the door. But before I'm out the door, I look back at them.
Me: you both disappoint me
And with that I left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After everyone was finished with their exams, we were all outside. All the kids were showing off their headbands to their parents and there friends.
Of course I couldn't show off my headband, given the fact that I DIDN'T FUCKING PASS!
I stood there watching everyone enjoy their little family time. Then a very annoying emo walked towards me, accompanied by the 'tsks' of fangirls and their dirty looks.
I sighed, I thought I explained to them yesterday about me not having any feelings for Sasu-gay and about what would happen if they assumed otherwise so...who's getting kidnapped tonight?
Sasuke: I heard that you didn't pass.
Me: and you came over here to piss me off even more about it because?
Sasuke: I wanted to know how you didn't pass.
Me: why the hell should I tell you?
Sasuke: I was just curious.
Me: when the hell did you start giving a fuck?
Sasuke: can I not have one mature conversation with you?
Me: no, no you cannot.
Sasuke: and why is that?
Me: because I don't like your choices, your attitude needs a lot of improvement, and I just flat out don't respect you.
Sasuke: fine, just forget it
Me: ok bye, I hope to never see your face again
I exclaimed, waving and smiling at him as he walked away.
I was about to leave when I saw Naruto sitting on the swing, watching everyone. I really didn't want to get stuck in a long ass conversation about Naruto and how lonely he is, but I couldn't help it, every time I watched this part it made me want to tell him it's going to be alright. And you know what, I'll do it right now.
I walked over to him, placing my hand on his head, I said,
Me: Naruto you aren't alone
Naruto: w-what are you talking about Aya?
Me: Naruto, I know how you are feeling, and I want you to know you are not alone.
Naruto: how do you know? You couldn't possibly understand.
Me: you forget that I didn't come from this village. I don't have a family that I can go home to, to be proud of me. But I know that even though they aren't here with me, they love me, and that's all I need to get me through each day.
I placed my hands on his cheeks.
Everyone stared at us, including Sasuke. But I didn't care, my mind was on Naruto, about his pain and suffering.
Me: you must realize that although they are not physically standing next to you, they will always be by your side. In life and death. And remember...
I chocked on my words as tears fell from my eyes. Naruto stared wide eyed along with everyone else. I don't know what's wrong with me! I never cry, especially not in front of people!
Me: remember, if they were alive today, they would love you with every fiber in their being, and shower you with adoration. I know that for a fact.
I removed my hands from his face and grinned happily above him.
Me: besides you're not alone, you have me. And I promise,
I held out my pinky.
Me: no matter what, I will never leave your side
His eyes widened in response and he quickly wrapped his pinky around mine.
I wiped the tears from my eyes. I straightened myself up, and put my hands on my hips.
Me: now that, that's done, I have some people i need to kil- I mean kidnap- no I mean kill... definitely kill.
Random student: she is a moron, doesn't she know the third Hokage is standing right there and heard her.
Me: no duh, I know he's there, that's why I said it that loud!
Another random student: then isn't that a confession?
Me: isn't that my foot up your ass?
Another random student: no...
Me: well it's about to be, if you won't shut the hell up
Random student: don't get mad at us when you're punished for murder
Me: I stopped giving a fuck a LONG time ago.
The two student tsked and walked away.
Me: I can't stand people.
I turned towards Naruto.
Me: ok I'm going home
Naruto: so early?
Me: yeah there's someone there that I have to set some ground rules for.
Naruto: ok, I'll see you tomorrow.
Me: I'm pretty sure that I might see you earlier than that
Naruto: ok...
Me: ok bye!
I patted his shoulder as I passed by him and made my way home
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a small argument with Kaka-sensei about this morning, that ended with him giving me a lecture about the responsibilities of being a ninja and learning how to do things on my own, and me giving him a well deserved bitch slap for telling me to do something on my own and reminding me that I did, in fact, not become a ninja, I was grounded and was told to stay in my room.
He also specified that I was to not go outside to meet a boy on the roof.
I sat there on my bed, bored as hell, when I saw a certain someone pass by my window.
I bet you can't guess who it is...
I opened my window stealthy and gazed at the albino sensei, Mizuki. I grinned and placed one foot on the windowpane, and jumped out.
Hey, Kaka-sensei never said that I couldn't help Naruto become a ninja, and insult a few people along the way.
I jumped from roof to roof until I reached Iruka, Naruto, and Mizuki. And of course Mizuki started with the whole, brainwashing Naruto thing.
I pretty much ignored it, I always do, and I waited for the perfect time for me to make my grand entrance.
Mizuki threw the giant star thingy at Naruto, while he was crawling away.
Me: DOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!
I yelled...
Me: I'm sorry I just couldn't hold that in, it's been bugging me for a very long time.
Iruka and Naruto: Aya!?
Me: damnit, you two fucked up my grand entrance! Is it so hard to dodge! Goddamnit!
Mizuki: why are you here? You are of no use to me so you can just leave
Me: just leave, you say? Let me tell you something, I got grounded because you and that damn Iruka failed me, which caused me to get mad when Kaka-sensei said I had to start acting like a goddamn ninja, to which I responded with slapping the taste out of his mouth. I have a fucking right to be here!
Mizuki: and what right is that?
Me: the right to kick both of your asses! So I can't let you kill Iruka until I get my revenge. And Naruto is just plain off limits.
Mizuki: is it because you are fond of the little monster?
Me: uh, let me stop you there. first of all, don't go jumping to conclusions like that, it will only get you killed...by me. And secondly, I'm pretty sure you went through all of this trouble of getting the scroll, to not die tonight, and I'd rather not have yet another thing for Kaka-sensei to chew me out about. And on top of that do you know how much of a pain it is to get blood out of clothes?
Mizuki: that doesn't matter, and this has nothing to do with you!
He charged at me with a kunai knife, to which I of course dodged, because it's the most logical thing to do.
I tried to stab him with a small kunai, that I usually keep with me. And no I don't keep it because I'm a ninja, I keep it to protect me from the ignorance of Sasuke's fangirls. I don't want to catch Fangirl Syndrome.
Anyways the reason why I said "tried" to stab him, is because Iruka threw his kunai at Mizuki, and he moved away from me.
Me: Iruka! What the hell bro you fucking kill-blocked me!
Iruka: what?
Me: not cool man, so not cool
Mizuki: that is enough! Naruto, give me the scroll!
Iruka: no Naruto! I want you to take the scroll and run!
Me: is that really the smartest thing you could think of under pressure? Pathetic.
Naruto then ran off and so did Mizuki. As well as Iruka.
I'll just let them do their thing.
I followed them slowly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I watched from the top of a tree as Naruto did his multi shadow clone jutsu.
Me: that's how you do it Naruto! Show them your ninja way!
Naruto glanced at me and grinned from ear to ear.
While Naruto beat Mizuki to a pulp, I sighed in happiness.
Me: ah the sound of someone crying in pain who actually deserves it...you don't get that everyday.
When he was finished the sun came up and I saw Iruka and Naruto having their moment. As I was waiting for it to be finished,
Iruka: Aya, I want you down here as well.
I did as I was told, for once, and jumped down.
Me: what is it?
I noticed Naruto's eyes were closed.
Iruka: I want you to give Naruto his headband
He whispered to me. I nodded and did as he said.
Iruka: ok Naruto, open your eyes.
He did and was excited to be wearing Iruka's headband, so he tackled him.
I laughed at them. It was like a true family.
I smiled sadly...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After we dropped Naruto at home, Iruka walked me back to Kaka-sensei's house. I haven't said a word to Iruka since the forest.
I sighed.
Iruka: Aya what's wrong?
Me: actually, I'm not at all sure. I mean I feel happy for Naruto about becoming a ninja and all but I'm still a little bummed about something, but I don't know what.
Iruka: I think I might know why
Me: is it because I'm actually caring about something for once?
Iruka: no I think it's because you still want to be a ninja
Me:............nah I don't think that's it
Iruka: well I think that's the problem, and to fix that, here.
He handed me a headband.
Me: why did you give me this? Is this some kind of sick joke? Is Sasuke in on this?
Iruka: what?
Me: come on out Sasu-gay! I can smell the emoness running off you like an odor.
Iruka: it's not a joke, from here on out, you will be a ninja
He smiled gently at me. I stared at the band in disbelief. This isn't happening...is it?
Me: I don't know what to say...
Iruka: you don't have to say anything. just be happy for yourself
Me: ok sure.
We finally arrived at Kaka-sensei's house, with a final farewell we parted ways. I was about to go inside when I heard a very strange and soft voice reach my ears
Voice: I'll be waiting for the day that you return to me......
Me: wha?
I saw a mold of black lightning as it took the shape of a person, but I couldn't see the features of it.
It disappeared in a flash, leaving a necklace, the pendent was pure crystal and in the shape of a small rose.
I reached down to touch it
Voice: NO!
It shrieked in my ears, causing them to bleed.
Me: fuck!
The world was going black around me.
Me: ...I-i...I blame you Mizuki!
I fell to the ground...
