[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
Disclaimer: Lol you know to remind those of you out there that don’t realize that I don’t own Naruto and I’m making jack off of this little venture!
A/N: Now first off Big thanx to CluelessOne for reviewing. I love all review wether good or bad. Now to address the concerns.
1) Conflict starts as acceptance as you’ve seen in chapter one. The conflicts will get bigger as the story goes along but one hurdle at a time lol.
2) As for the plot well it’s pretty straightforward for right now: how will two teens adjust to being tossed into a world they don’t know with only each other for support!
3) Romance is coming but since the girls are working for acceptance that won’t bust out immediately. For now I’m just letting it simmer.
4)And now the pairs! Those are just pure secret! Lol even from myself at the moment. So far I have one pair solid while I’m playing with the others! You’ll just have to wait and see! Lol I love suspense!
banging on the door to tell her breakfast was ready. Yawning Aya stumbled out of bed
and made it to the bathroom without breaking her toes. After her teeth were brushed
and her face washed she pulled on some clothes and walked to the kitchen. She and
Christie ate hurriedly as they made a note of the time and rushed out of the house
locking the door and leaving the dishes on the table. They made it to school just in time
and just as they slid through the door and took their seat Iruka came in and took his
place behind his desk.
“Well today’s rules for the exam are very simple. All you have to do is go into the
room across the hall when your name has been called and do as you’re told. You will
be told immediately whether you pass and become genin or fail and stay academy
students. With that said Iruka walked out of the room and across the hall before a
completely new voice called out a name and a student went to take the test. When it
was her turn Aya walked across the hall and performed the clone jutsu easily, five of
herself appearing around her. She was immediately given a passing grade and stepped
outside with her classmates who had already had their test. While she waited for
Christie to come out Aya ignored the others and looked at the silver headband with the
strange leaf on it that could be tied with the blue cloth strips, intently. So this was what
all the fuss was about she thought. It was true though that she, herself felt a great
sense of accomplishment from passing the test and learning the jutsu. But what was
the big deal. With a sigh and a shrug she figured she’d never understand it perhaps
because she wasn’t truly a part of this village. Not a part; the thought echoed in her
head and she thought back to when she was younger and had been introduced to her
mother and father’s families. The moment the purebreds had seen her they’d begun
dissecting everything that was wrong with her from her hair, to her eyes, to her height.
Though her parents had been furious and had immediately whisked her out of there it
didn’t stop her from realizing that she was the only one of her kind. Aya felt the sadness
of that thought begin to seep into her but she forced it away effectively destroying her
self pity parade. One of the other girls had apparently noticed her pained expression as
Aya had been looking down at the headband and approached her.
“Hey are you ok?” Said a familiar voice that had Aya looking up and into
Sakura’s face in surprise.
“I’m fine,” Aya said hurriedly dusting herself off, purposely misunderstanding
Sakura.
“I didn’t mean physically,” Sakura pointed out with a frown.
“Look everyone has self pity,” Aya said hoping she sounded nonchalant, “it’s no
big deal and its meant to be ignored. Sakura blinked in surprise at Aya before she
nodded and backed off going back to her original group.
“You know you’ll never make new friends that way?” Christie said coming up
behind Aya.
“Who needs a lot of friends,” Aya said shrugging dejectedly.
“Aya-Chan it’s ok to be different you know,” Christie said walking away from her friend
while shaking her head. Aya watched Christie go but she refused to acknowledge her
words. Naruto however who’d just gotten out of his test and passed had heard
everything since the girls had been standing so close to the door. He made his way
over to Aya who forced a smile on her face when she saw him and the headband he
had in his hand.
“Ah so you passed Naruto-Kun,” the girl said grinning brighter than was
necessary.
“Yeah thank you for all your help,” Naruto said. When Aya nodded still smiling
overly bright he spoke slowly. “You know burring your pain is never any way to live,” he
said. Aya blinked at him in surprise before the smile faded from her face.
“Yeah well I suppose you would know huh,” she said dejectedly, “being a half
demon with all these humans around.”
“Actually,” Naruto said without getting offended though he was slightly hurt, “I’m
not a demon at all.”
“Don’t lie to me I know demon when I smell it,” Aya said frowning at him.
“Actually what you smell is the demon sealed inside me,” Naruto informed her.
“As the story of the village goes when I was just born a nine-tailed fox demon attacked
the village and the Forth Hokage was able to seal him inside my body. I don’t have any
family and everyone in the village hates me because of what I have inside. And to top it
all off after the fox was sealed inside me the Forth Hokage died. The villagers treat me
as though I killed him when I was only an infant and hadn’t even been old enough to be
asked if I wanted a demon inside me.” Naruto held Aya’s shocked gaze with his steady
pale blue eyes before he shrugged grinning. “I wouldn’t worry overly much about being
a Hybrid,” he said shrugging again, “after all no one looks at you like you killed their
hero.” With that the blonde walked away leaving Aya to stare after him feeling beyond
foolish. After the last student came out and Iruka announced that everyone had passed
and was to come to the ceremony later that evening Aya walked home with Christie.
Since they’d both been given the day off to enjoy the festivities there was no work
today. Nothing to take my mind off feeling like an ass Aya thought. She’d have to
apologize to Naruto later she reprimanded herself fiercely. Deciding that, that was the
best course of action she let herself lift her head a little higher and when they got home
she set about making a light lunch. When it was time to go to the festivities the girls left
and walked back to the school. Aya had on a silver skirt at Christie’s insistence that
came to an inch above her knees and a black shirt that hugged her large breasts like a
second skin. Her headband was wrapped around her hair which had been braided and
wrapped into a tight crown by the same psycho who she called her best friend. Christie
of course wore a skirt as well. Hers was dark blue and was very short. It was joined by a
white halter top and her headband was tied around her head. Her hair Aya thought
jealously was tied up in a ponytail with the tail in many tiny braids. Why had they had to
get dressed up for a graduation ceremony Aya wondered along with the thoughts of
quick deaths for her friend. Sighing she let it go for a moment as they walked into the
school cafeteria to wide-eyed stares. Angrily Aya forced the burning that wanted to
seize her cheeks away and headed straight for the buffet table to get herself a drink.
Once the punch was poured into the cup she sniffed the contents discreetly picking up
on the scent of strawberries and sake. Someone had spiked the punch she figured
rolling her eyes as she gulped the sweet, tangy liquid comforted by the fact that the
alcohol wouldn’t bother her as long as she didn’t consume the whole bowl. She
watched as the parents went around with their children meeting their friends and she
briefly experienced a pang of homesickness before it was forced away just as the blush
had been. Taking the drink with her she made her way to the nearest chair against the
wall praying for oblivion. She didn’t get it however as one of the other girls in the class
dragged her parents over and stopped in front of her.
“This is Amaya-Chan,” the girl announced smiling brightly, “she’s the top student
in class. She also has these really cool wings!” The girl’s parents looked down at their
daughter with an amused smile before turning to look at Aya.
“I’m sure she doesn’t really have wings do you?” Amaya-San the girl’s mother
asked with a smile.
“Yes,” Aya said smiling.
“See I told you she was just-,” but the woman stopped looking back at Aya in
surprise.
“I beg your pardon but did you say you do have wings?” the woman asked.
When Aya nodded the woman leaned down close to her face and took a whiff of her
breath before she stood up with a satisfied nod at her husband. “Clearly the child is
drunk. Someone must have spiked the punch. The poor dear.”
“Actually I’m not drunk by a long shot,” Aya said hotly wishing the girl had never
come over here or drug her parents along.
“Well you must be drunk to claim you have wings,” the woman said smiling
indulgently down at her. All adults were the same Aya thought in disgust. Looking away
from the woman in irritation she saw Iruka and Naruto. Quickly she decided that maybe
going to apologize to Naruto was the lesser of the two evils. That being of continuing to
stay here and be insulted and perhaps insult back she stood and excused herself
politely before making her way over to Iruka and Naruto.
“Naruto-Kun, Iruka-Sensei,” she said smiling politely. The both looked down and
smiled at Aya brightly.
“Amaya-Chan you look very nice tonight,” Iruka said.
“Thank you,” Aya said slightly disgruntled, “it was all Christie-Chan’s idea.” Iruka
chuckled as he noticed the signs of a tomboy as Aya turned to face Naruto.
“Naruto-Kun,” she said softly, “I wanted to apologize for earlier. I was rude and you
were only trying to help so, sorry.” Naruto grinned at her and shrugged.
“Its ok it was really no big deal,” Naruto said awarded with Aya’s smile. He
frowned however as her smile wilted. He turned to see what made her irritable but all he
saw was the a girl and her family making her way toward them. Still confused he
watched as the couple and their daughter stopped to say hello to Iruka and the woman
notice Aya.
“Oh hello Amaya-San did you get that wing nonsense out of your system?” The
woman asked chuckling softly.
“What wing nonsense?” Iruka asked promptly.
“Oh well Ai said that Amaya-San had wings and when I asked to indulge her
Amaya-San said that she did have wings.”
“I don’t understand,” Iruka said confused when the woman stopped.
“Well she’s obviously intoxicated since the punch has been spiked,” the woman
said shrugging as if to say you see.
“I told you I wasn’t drunk by a long shot,” Aya said as politely as she could
through clenched teeth.
“Well she certainly doesn’t sound drunk to me,” Iruka observed, “and she’s not
lying to you after all.” The woman and her husband stared at Iruka in surprise as her
daughter told her I told you so and Aya and Naruto exchanged a small grin.
“Iruka-San you can’t be serious,” the woman said as she and her husband
chucked softly. “You can’t really expect me to believe this child.”
“Well since I saw the wings with my own eyes I can’t do anything but believe
her,” Iruka said with a shrug.
“Prove it,” said the woman’s husband,” in a deep voice that surprised Aya since
his frame was so slight.
“Yes prove it,” the woman reiterated and everyone’s eyes fell on Aya. Aya looked
angrily at the woman and was about to tell her to leave her the hell alone but decided at
the last moment that it might be more fun to shock her. Sighing she pulled her shirt off
so that her back was uncovered but her front wasn’t. This alone seemed to shock the
woman and got the attention of almost everyone in the hall to which Aya was not
grateful for. Sighing however since she’d decided to do this she would see it out.
Backing away from those nearest her, she visualized her wings in her head and grunted
slightly in pain as the wings slowly emerged from her back. After a few more grunts and
a slight sweat dampening her brow she felt the tickle of feathers against her back and
opened her eyes. She grinned in amusement at the surprise on the faces around her
and after wiping the sweat from her brow she opened them up forcing a few people to
take a step back. Bringing her wings back and scattering even more people Aya
brought them fully forward so that a short breeze ruffled the woman’s hair and blew air
into her open mouth. After a couple more flaps and almost bringing herself airborne Aya
decided she’d had enough of the stunned stares and Christie glowering at her. So with
a sigh she folded the wings back and envisioned them being absorbed into her back
which they did with a slow pull that hurt just as much as coming out. When the process
was finished she slipped back into her shirt and ignored the stares which were now
starting to bug her and made her way back to Iruka and Naruto. When she reached
them however Christie was already there scolding her.
“Aya-Chan have you lost your mind,” Christie said shaking her head, “you know
that tires you out.”
“Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know,” Iruka said with surprise, “it was actually my fault
since I asked her to prove she had them.”
“No it was Aya-Chan’s,” Christie protested angrily as she studied her friend’s
pale color. “She knows it tires her out and could have told you so herself Iruka-Sensei.”
“Oh shut up already,” Aya mumbled trying to ignore the slight trembling of her
fingers. Yes it was true she could have said something about the fact that pulling out
her wings without the help of chakra tired her out. But Aya wasn’t about to admit that
the woman’s irritation that had drove her to do it. In all truth though it wouldn’t have
been so draining if she just practiced more like her mother told her too. Maybe she’d
actually start practicing more she decided as the room swam once before settling.
“Amaya-Chan are you alright,” Iruka asked not noticing the trembling of the girl’s
fingers since she kept them hidden behind her back.
“Of course I am,” Aya said glad that everyone had gone back to their previous
conversations and the girl and her family had left. Though Aya was sure everyone
would be talking about her now, not that she wasn’t used to that. While she’d been
distracted with her thoughts however Christie had moved closer to her. She grabbed
one of Aya’s arms whipping it and the hand with the offending fingers to the front of her.
“I knew it Aya-Chan your fingers are trembling.”
“What does that mean?” Naruto asked.
“It means that she over exerted herself,” came Sasuke’s voice from just beyond
Iruka. When the teacher moved to the side and made the boy visible Aya glared at him
for interfering.
“I’m fine,” she muttered taking her hand back from Christie with a small jerk.
“Look I’ve done it before without passing out so its no big deal.”
“But it is a big deal,” Iruka said sharply drawing all of the children’s attention to
him. “When you’re weak you can’t call chakra and all that you’ve learned can’t help you
one bit. You’ll need to be more careful in the future Amaya-Chan,” Iruka told her sternly.
“Ok, ok I get it,” Aya said quietly, she’d already decided to practice and make this
go away anyway. So she decided it was better to let everyone have their moment of
thinking she’d stop her foolishness. In Aya’s mind after all this was a weakness, one
she’d let go for far too long. Well that would be remedied soon enough.
“So what are you anyway?” Sasuke asked drawing her out of her thoughts.
“What?” Aya asked blinking in surprise.
“I asked what you were?” Sasuke repeated ignoring the girls who flocked at his
back.
“Oh,” Aya said with a shrug suddenly not wanting to discus herself anymore. “I’m
a Preternatural Hybrid,” she said at length before going on when he raised a brow to
prompt her to continue. “It means I have more than Preternatural species flowing
through my veins,” she commented dryly.
“I understand that,” Sasuke pushed lightly, “I meant what are you mixed with.”
Sighing Aya figured this just wasn’t her night and shrugged.
“I’m half Vampire, Half Archangel,” she said trying to keep her voice even.”
“But that’s impossible,” said one of the girls from behind Sasuke. “Besides
everyone knows Vampires are evil and don’t exist and that Archangels are good and
pure and wouldn’t sully themselves with a Vampire.” Aya frowned in anger but tried to
even her temper while ignoring Christie who was looking at her with a worried
expression.
“In light of your ignorance I’m going to choose not to be offended by that,” Aya
said to the girl with pale blue hair of whose name she didn’t know. “Now to straighten
you out. A, Vampires do exist and my father is one, B, they aren’t all evil, in fact my
father doesn’t even kill his food unless he absolutely has too. And of course C, I think
my mother might be offended if you were to say she sullied herself by marrying my
father.” The girl still looked unconvinced and shook her head stubbornly.
“Look I’ll believe the Angel-,” the girl began but was cut off by Aya.
“Archangel,” the girl said automatically.
“Very well, Archangel part then because you have the wings but where’s the
Vampire proof?” Sighing Aya opened her mouth as though she were yawning and was
not in the least bit surprised when the group crowded close to check out her pearl white
fangs. One boy even went so far as to poke at one and this surprised Aya. So much so
that she closed her mouth and stepped back pricking the boy’s finger with the sudden
movement. She caught the blood on her tongue and felt her eyes shut as she moaned
softly in delight. When she realized what she was doing however she pulled herself
together. Deciding that was something else she’d have to fix she forced her eyes open
again.
“Oh great,” Christie muttered looking at her friend. “Aya your eyes are changing,”
she said sighing, “the crimson is bleeding over the gold.”
“Well there’s absolutely nothing I can do about that,” Aya said with a shrug.
“When I told you to let me wear my sunglasses to the party you said no because they
would look silly inside.”
“Not to mention you wouldn’t be able to see,” another girl behind Sasuke, this
time one with blonde hair, said.
“Actually I can see perfectly fine in complete darkness with sunglasses on,” Aya
said with a shrug. When she saw mouths open to begin a new brage of questions she
decided that she’d finally had enough. “Well I don’t know about everyone else but I’m
starving,” she said walking away from them, toward the buffet table. She sighed in
disgust as a few people back away from her as though she were a freak. Not that she
wasn’t used to it Aya thought to herself as she made herself a fruit salad with the fruit
present. Finding an empty chair near her against the wall Aya sat and nibbled at her
fruit trying to ignore the stares she was still getting. After she’d finished her plate Aya
got to her feet again noticing that the crowd had thinned out a little. Deciding it was time
for her to go as well she quickly found the trash can and scanned the crowd for Christie.
She found her friend having a serious debate with a few other students and decided
disturbing her would be a bad idea. She knew the other girl well after all so she walked
toward the group waiting until she’d caught Christie’s eye. Raising her hand to signal
that she was leaving Aya grinned as she noticed the small nod in her direction to
indicate that she’d been seen. Even though she wasn’t quite sure Christie had noticed
she was saying good night, Aya wasn’t sure she cared. She was still much too amused
at wondering what fool had gotten the other started in a debate. As Aya walked out the
door she hoped the person would have some sense and give up soon because she’d
never known Christie to lose a debate. As she walked in silence along the dark streets
she sighed wondering what had gotten into her tonight. Normally she’d have said no to
the type of goading she’d been confronted with. No matter she decided as she reached
the apartment building. She moved swiftly up the stairs until she came to the door of the
apartment that she shared with Christie. Opening it she walked in with a sigh locking
the door behind her. Moving straight to her room she stripped and put the clothes she
wore in the dirty clothes. At a small glance at the growing pile of clothes she reminded
herself that she had to wash soon as she went into her bathroom. After taking a bath
she put her pjs on and got into bed falling asleep immediately. She woke up just before
daybreak several hours later and lay in bed confused as to what had woken her. Aya
rose from bed and made her way into the livingroom where she was greeted by a very
surprising sight. Christie and the students she’d been debating with were scattered
throughout the livingroom, all asleep in various positions. Pathetic she thought with a
shake of her head as she stepped over a classmate. When the person grabbed her
ankle and sent her sprawling to the floor she turned glaring back at the sleeping form
recognizing it as Sasuke.
“Idiot,” she muttered softly as she jerked her ankle out of his grasp. Getting to
her feet in irritation she walked into the kitchen where she found a couple more
classmates she recognized as Naruto and Sakura sleeping with their heads on the
table. Shaking her head in disgust she filled the kettle with water quietly and set it on
the stove to warm before she set to work making breakfast. While the water boiled on a
low heat she scrambled two dozen eggs, and made two plates of pancakes before she
set about frying three packs of bacon. Christie could just replace the food she figured
with a smirk since it was her fault that all these people were here. Just as she’d begun
setting the breakfast on the table the kettle shrilled and she watched as Naruto and
Sakura came too. Apparently the impromptu alarm also woke up those in the livingroom
and after taking the kettle off the burner she rushed into the livingroom making sure that
no one would use her bathroom. Once she was sure her room was safe Aya made her
way back to the kitchen. She then busied herself by making several plates of toast and
helped herself to several slices before she poured herself a cup of tea. Leaving the rest
of the students in surprise at the fact that she’d made enough breakfast for everyone
she walked to her room with her breakfast. After she’d settled on her freshly made bed
with her food and her ninja notes she studied and ate in silence. She was interrupted a
little later by a set of eyes boring into her and turned frowning with a piece of toast in
her mouth and a hand holding her loose hair out of the way. When she saw almost
every classmate that was in the house framed in her door and figured that the others
were there as well she frowned even deeper.
“Can I help you?” Aya asked after she’d released her hair and took the toast out of her mouth.
“We just wanted to thank you for making breakfast,” said the girl with light blue
hair that had talked to her last night.
“Your welcome,” Aya said with a shrug before she dismissed them mentally and
turned back to her breakfast and her studying. When she heard a throat clear again she
turned around confused as everyone had made their way into her room. “Now what?”
She growled in irritation.
“Well we also want to apologize for our behavior toward you last night,” said the
blonde haired girl who Aya had made the comment about being able to see in the dark
with sunglasses to.
“Oh,” Aya said her face falling into confusion. “Look it’s cool,” she said waving
away the apologies with a hand. “I wouldn’t even worry about it anymore.” When her
classmates smiled Aya nodded turning once more back to her notes and her breakfast.
She was immensely surprised when she felt someone lay a hand on her hair and forced
her to spin around. It was Sakura who was petting the heavy, living silk with a mixture of
envy and adoration.
“How did you get your hair to grow so long?” Sakura asked curiously.
“I’ve grown it since birth and never cut it as my mother had done and her mother
before her,” Aya muttered shrugging dejectedly. There was entirely too many people in
her personal space she decided and she wanted them gone now. When the girl nodded
Aya didn’t turn away again but shut her book and sighed turning so that she could see
the people in her room more clearly.
“Why did your eyes change when you bit Akira?” Asked Sasuke curiously
causing Aya to turn toward him. Sighing in irritation Aya figured this was probably the
real reason she had so many people crowded in her personal space.
“Bloodlust,” she said simply, slightly amused by the confusion that one word
spread through the room. “Look have you ever seen someone who sees blood and just
goes nuts?” When a few of her classmates nodded Aya continued. “Well it affects
Vampires the same way but purely in a hunger type sense. The blood makes us hungry
and we want to feed off any and all blood in the area. Those Vampires who have
control of themselves will distance themselves from blood and find food to feed on
instead. Once sated with food the bloodlust will let up.” Aya shrugged deciding that was
all she was going to say on the subject. Deciding to let her classmates make of the
information she had given them what they wanted she reached over to her night stand
and grabbed her watch. After glancing at the time she realized she had just over four
hours before school. Deciding to get to work practicing her jutsu along with a few harder
ones she’d learned in a few books at work she stood gesturing for the door. “Well I’m
glad you all liked breakfast and I’ll see you at school later,” She said firmly. When her
classmates trooped out into the hall she closed the door firmly before locking it and
leaning against it in relief. Christie was dead after she was done she decided. Her best
friend knew how she felt about large groups of people in such a close proximity. Later
she’d kill her Aya promised herself as she retrieved her scrunchie from the night stand
and tied her hair up in a messy bun. She promptly got to work on her basic jutsus as a
warm up. When she felt confident she moved into the other jutsu. After she’d forced
her body to take the abuse of learning the rigorous jutsu she smiled. Twice each with no
problems except large chakra use Aya noted before putting her notes away. Nothing
more practice won’t cure Aya decided looking at her watch to see she still had two
hours left. Pulling off her shirt and bra she took a deep breath and called out her wings.
Aya grunted in pain just as she had at the party but she pulled them back in and did this
several more times. The pain she noted had lessened considerably but she felt weak as
hell. Once again she came to the conclusion of more practice needed and shrugged off
her body’s need for rest. After cleaning up she tied her hair up into a tight ponytail and
got ready for school. She walked out of her room cautiously looking around for the mob
that had been her classmates. When Aya noted that the coast was clear she continued
to the livingroom with her notes in hand all the way to the front door. When she got
there she realized that the house was probably deserted so she gave a sigh of relief
and opened the door making her way out. After locking the door behind her Aya walked
to school taking her time and savoring being alone after being forced into such close
proximity with so many people. When she arrived at school most of the class was
already assembled so she took her seat before taking a moment to glare daggers at
Christie who only smiled back innocently. Brat Aya thought with a chuckle before she
turned around and watched as Iruka came in. After taking his place behind his desk he
smiled up at his students realizing that after this moment they’d no longer be his. It was
a little sad, true but he knew that he’d have a new batch to mold soon.
“Ok as of today you are no longer my students,” Iruka said with a small shrug
and a grin. You are now ninja and therefore will be transferred under a jonin. Aya didn’t
think her sick and twisted sense of humor could take that comment and tried
desperately to hide the smirk that had bloomed across her lips. She wasn’t as
successful as she thought however. “Amaya-Chan is there something amusing you?”
Iruka asked frowning up at her.
“No not at all Iruka-Sensei,” Aya said forcing the smirk from her face. Iruka
looked at her a moment longer and then nodded letting it go. “Very well here are your
teams.” He ran through the lists of five quickly before Aya heard her name. “Dark,
Amaya–Chan, Jacobson, Christianne-Chan, Uzumaki, Naruto-Kun, Haruno, Sakura-
Chan, and Uchiha, Sasuke-Kun.” Several girls sighed heavily while Sakura smiled
largely. Guess she was happy about it Aya decided grumpily since she was far from
pleased at being on the same team as Sasuke. The boy got under her skin so easily
after all and roused her anger pretty quickly too. Oh well she’d just have to make the
best of it she figured as she waited to hear the name of their instructor. “You are
assigned to Kakashi-Sensei and are to meet him in classroom 111. You are dismissed.
Standing the five students made their way down from the seats and out the door.
Christie and Aya were forced to follow the other three to the appointed classroom since
they didn’t know the way. They sat in the empty classroom silently before Naruto
seemed to get restless.
“He’s late,” Naruto complained.
“Yeah I know,” Christie whined right along with him. Sakura, Sasuke, and Aya
looked at the two and then rolled their eyes.
“Show a little friggin’ patience,” Sakura yelled at the two. But they looked at her
with an evil expression and she backed away slowly. Christie and Naruto moved away
from them then to stand beside the desk and began whispering softly with their heads
down. While Sakura and Sasuke could only look at them curiously Aya however could
hear everything they said.
“We should get him for making us wait,” Naruto said with a grin.
“Yeah and I know just how to do it,” Christie said with a sly chuckle.
“Now wait I know what I’m doing too,” Naruto said with a smirk.
“Ok, so what do you think we should do?”
“An eraser above the door,” he said simply.
“Nah too little,” Christie said. While Aya listened to the two she shook her head in
disbelief hearing Christie’s plan that would also use Naruto’s simple eraser. Those two
were gonna get it and get it good Aya chortled to herself. Oh well maybe the Sensei did
deserve it though. It had already been half an hour and there was hide nor hair of him.
When she thought of the result of their plan again Aya found herself hooting with
laughter and Sasuke figured out first why she was laughing.
“You can hear every word their saying can’t you?” He said with a smug smirk.
Aya only smirked back at him and nodded.
“Sure can but if you wait just a second you’ll see what their gonna do. Sakura
and Sasuke’s eyes widened while Aya stayed, laid back on top of the first row of desks
nonchalantly. The three watched as Christie with Naruto’s help, set an eraser over the
door and a bucket of dirty water hooked to a lever over it.
“Knock it off you two,” Sakura said angrily as the two of them stood back to
admire their handiwork. “You’re gonna get in b-.” But that however was all Sakura got
out as a head peeked into the room. Aya could see that the bottom half of the face was
covered by a black mask and the headband that they now wore themselves covered his
left eye. His hair which was silver like Aya’s, stuck straight up and she assumed this
must be Kakashi-Sensei who was staring at them with the one visible black eye. Then
suddenly the eraser fell and hit the Sensei square on the head and when it hit the floor
the bucket of dirty water followed soaking him. The Sensei’s one eye showed irritation
and Naruto, Christie, and Aya were trying very hard not to laugh while Sakura looked
shocked and Sasuke arched one eye.
“Who did that,” Kakashi demanded wiping dirty water out of his hair. Sasuke
immediately pointed to Christie and Naruto who looked at the Sensei with large grins on
their faces. Aya deciding that someone should really stop this stepped in.
A/N: Lol yeah cliffhangers are the best! Well if ya want to know what happens next you know the routine! R/R baby! Lol all reviews are welcome both good and bad! I’ll throw up the next chapter once I get some love lol.
A/N: Now first off Big thanx to CluelessOne for reviewing. I love all review wether good or bad. Now to address the concerns.
1) Conflict starts as acceptance as you’ve seen in chapter one. The conflicts will get bigger as the story goes along but one hurdle at a time lol.
2) As for the plot well it’s pretty straightforward for right now: how will two teens adjust to being tossed into a world they don’t know with only each other for support!
3) Romance is coming but since the girls are working for acceptance that won’t bust out immediately. For now I’m just letting it simmer.
4)And now the pairs! Those are just pure secret! Lol even from myself at the moment. So far I have one pair solid while I’m playing with the others! You’ll just have to wait and see! Lol I love suspense!
Chapter Three: Team Time
The next morning Aya was woken up as usual for the last six months by Christiebanging on the door to tell her breakfast was ready. Yawning Aya stumbled out of bed
and made it to the bathroom without breaking her toes. After her teeth were brushed
and her face washed she pulled on some clothes and walked to the kitchen. She and
Christie ate hurriedly as they made a note of the time and rushed out of the house
locking the door and leaving the dishes on the table. They made it to school just in time
and just as they slid through the door and took their seat Iruka came in and took his
place behind his desk.
“Well today’s rules for the exam are very simple. All you have to do is go into the
room across the hall when your name has been called and do as you’re told. You will
be told immediately whether you pass and become genin or fail and stay academy
students. With that said Iruka walked out of the room and across the hall before a
completely new voice called out a name and a student went to take the test. When it
was her turn Aya walked across the hall and performed the clone jutsu easily, five of
herself appearing around her. She was immediately given a passing grade and stepped
outside with her classmates who had already had their test. While she waited for
Christie to come out Aya ignored the others and looked at the silver headband with the
strange leaf on it that could be tied with the blue cloth strips, intently. So this was what
all the fuss was about she thought. It was true though that she, herself felt a great
sense of accomplishment from passing the test and learning the jutsu. But what was
the big deal. With a sigh and a shrug she figured she’d never understand it perhaps
because she wasn’t truly a part of this village. Not a part; the thought echoed in her
head and she thought back to when she was younger and had been introduced to her
mother and father’s families. The moment the purebreds had seen her they’d begun
dissecting everything that was wrong with her from her hair, to her eyes, to her height.
Though her parents had been furious and had immediately whisked her out of there it
didn’t stop her from realizing that she was the only one of her kind. Aya felt the sadness
of that thought begin to seep into her but she forced it away effectively destroying her
self pity parade. One of the other girls had apparently noticed her pained expression as
Aya had been looking down at the headband and approached her.
“Hey are you ok?” Said a familiar voice that had Aya looking up and into
Sakura’s face in surprise.
“I’m fine,” Aya said hurriedly dusting herself off, purposely misunderstanding
Sakura.
“I didn’t mean physically,” Sakura pointed out with a frown.
“Look everyone has self pity,” Aya said hoping she sounded nonchalant, “it’s no
big deal and its meant to be ignored. Sakura blinked in surprise at Aya before she
nodded and backed off going back to her original group.
“You know you’ll never make new friends that way?” Christie said coming up
behind Aya.
“Who needs a lot of friends,” Aya said shrugging dejectedly.
“Aya-Chan it’s ok to be different you know,” Christie said walking away from her friend
while shaking her head. Aya watched Christie go but she refused to acknowledge her
words. Naruto however who’d just gotten out of his test and passed had heard
everything since the girls had been standing so close to the door. He made his way
over to Aya who forced a smile on her face when she saw him and the headband he
had in his hand.
“Ah so you passed Naruto-Kun,” the girl said grinning brighter than was
necessary.
“Yeah thank you for all your help,” Naruto said. When Aya nodded still smiling
overly bright he spoke slowly. “You know burring your pain is never any way to live,” he
said. Aya blinked at him in surprise before the smile faded from her face.
“Yeah well I suppose you would know huh,” she said dejectedly, “being a half
demon with all these humans around.”
“Actually,” Naruto said without getting offended though he was slightly hurt, “I’m
not a demon at all.”
“Don’t lie to me I know demon when I smell it,” Aya said frowning at him.
“Actually what you smell is the demon sealed inside me,” Naruto informed her.
“As the story of the village goes when I was just born a nine-tailed fox demon attacked
the village and the Forth Hokage was able to seal him inside my body. I don’t have any
family and everyone in the village hates me because of what I have inside. And to top it
all off after the fox was sealed inside me the Forth Hokage died. The villagers treat me
as though I killed him when I was only an infant and hadn’t even been old enough to be
asked if I wanted a demon inside me.” Naruto held Aya’s shocked gaze with his steady
pale blue eyes before he shrugged grinning. “I wouldn’t worry overly much about being
a Hybrid,” he said shrugging again, “after all no one looks at you like you killed their
hero.” With that the blonde walked away leaving Aya to stare after him feeling beyond
foolish. After the last student came out and Iruka announced that everyone had passed
and was to come to the ceremony later that evening Aya walked home with Christie.
Since they’d both been given the day off to enjoy the festivities there was no work
today. Nothing to take my mind off feeling like an ass Aya thought. She’d have to
apologize to Naruto later she reprimanded herself fiercely. Deciding that, that was the
best course of action she let herself lift her head a little higher and when they got home
she set about making a light lunch. When it was time to go to the festivities the girls left
and walked back to the school. Aya had on a silver skirt at Christie’s insistence that
came to an inch above her knees and a black shirt that hugged her large breasts like a
second skin. Her headband was wrapped around her hair which had been braided and
wrapped into a tight crown by the same psycho who she called her best friend. Christie
of course wore a skirt as well. Hers was dark blue and was very short. It was joined by a
white halter top and her headband was tied around her head. Her hair Aya thought
jealously was tied up in a ponytail with the tail in many tiny braids. Why had they had to
get dressed up for a graduation ceremony Aya wondered along with the thoughts of
quick deaths for her friend. Sighing she let it go for a moment as they walked into the
school cafeteria to wide-eyed stares. Angrily Aya forced the burning that wanted to
seize her cheeks away and headed straight for the buffet table to get herself a drink.
Once the punch was poured into the cup she sniffed the contents discreetly picking up
on the scent of strawberries and sake. Someone had spiked the punch she figured
rolling her eyes as she gulped the sweet, tangy liquid comforted by the fact that the
alcohol wouldn’t bother her as long as she didn’t consume the whole bowl. She
watched as the parents went around with their children meeting their friends and she
briefly experienced a pang of homesickness before it was forced away just as the blush
had been. Taking the drink with her she made her way to the nearest chair against the
wall praying for oblivion. She didn’t get it however as one of the other girls in the class
dragged her parents over and stopped in front of her.
“This is Amaya-Chan,” the girl announced smiling brightly, “she’s the top student
in class. She also has these really cool wings!” The girl’s parents looked down at their
daughter with an amused smile before turning to look at Aya.
“I’m sure she doesn’t really have wings do you?” Amaya-San the girl’s mother
asked with a smile.
“Yes,” Aya said smiling.
“See I told you she was just-,” but the woman stopped looking back at Aya in
surprise.
“I beg your pardon but did you say you do have wings?” the woman asked.
When Aya nodded the woman leaned down close to her face and took a whiff of her
breath before she stood up with a satisfied nod at her husband. “Clearly the child is
drunk. Someone must have spiked the punch. The poor dear.”
“Actually I’m not drunk by a long shot,” Aya said hotly wishing the girl had never
come over here or drug her parents along.
“Well you must be drunk to claim you have wings,” the woman said smiling
indulgently down at her. All adults were the same Aya thought in disgust. Looking away
from the woman in irritation she saw Iruka and Naruto. Quickly she decided that maybe
going to apologize to Naruto was the lesser of the two evils. That being of continuing to
stay here and be insulted and perhaps insult back she stood and excused herself
politely before making her way over to Iruka and Naruto.
“Naruto-Kun, Iruka-Sensei,” she said smiling politely. The both looked down and
smiled at Aya brightly.
“Amaya-Chan you look very nice tonight,” Iruka said.
“Thank you,” Aya said slightly disgruntled, “it was all Christie-Chan’s idea.” Iruka
chuckled as he noticed the signs of a tomboy as Aya turned to face Naruto.
“Naruto-Kun,” she said softly, “I wanted to apologize for earlier. I was rude and you
were only trying to help so, sorry.” Naruto grinned at her and shrugged.
“Its ok it was really no big deal,” Naruto said awarded with Aya’s smile. He
frowned however as her smile wilted. He turned to see what made her irritable but all he
saw was the a girl and her family making her way toward them. Still confused he
watched as the couple and their daughter stopped to say hello to Iruka and the woman
notice Aya.
“Oh hello Amaya-San did you get that wing nonsense out of your system?” The
woman asked chuckling softly.
“What wing nonsense?” Iruka asked promptly.
“Oh well Ai said that Amaya-San had wings and when I asked to indulge her
Amaya-San said that she did have wings.”
“I don’t understand,” Iruka said confused when the woman stopped.
“Well she’s obviously intoxicated since the punch has been spiked,” the woman
said shrugging as if to say you see.
“I told you I wasn’t drunk by a long shot,” Aya said as politely as she could
through clenched teeth.
“Well she certainly doesn’t sound drunk to me,” Iruka observed, “and she’s not
lying to you after all.” The woman and her husband stared at Iruka in surprise as her
daughter told her I told you so and Aya and Naruto exchanged a small grin.
“Iruka-San you can’t be serious,” the woman said as she and her husband
chucked softly. “You can’t really expect me to believe this child.”
“Well since I saw the wings with my own eyes I can’t do anything but believe
her,” Iruka said with a shrug.
“Prove it,” said the woman’s husband,” in a deep voice that surprised Aya since
his frame was so slight.
“Yes prove it,” the woman reiterated and everyone’s eyes fell on Aya. Aya looked
angrily at the woman and was about to tell her to leave her the hell alone but decided at
the last moment that it might be more fun to shock her. Sighing she pulled her shirt off
so that her back was uncovered but her front wasn’t. This alone seemed to shock the
woman and got the attention of almost everyone in the hall to which Aya was not
grateful for. Sighing however since she’d decided to do this she would see it out.
Backing away from those nearest her, she visualized her wings in her head and grunted
slightly in pain as the wings slowly emerged from her back. After a few more grunts and
a slight sweat dampening her brow she felt the tickle of feathers against her back and
opened her eyes. She grinned in amusement at the surprise on the faces around her
and after wiping the sweat from her brow she opened them up forcing a few people to
take a step back. Bringing her wings back and scattering even more people Aya
brought them fully forward so that a short breeze ruffled the woman’s hair and blew air
into her open mouth. After a couple more flaps and almost bringing herself airborne Aya
decided she’d had enough of the stunned stares and Christie glowering at her. So with
a sigh she folded the wings back and envisioned them being absorbed into her back
which they did with a slow pull that hurt just as much as coming out. When the process
was finished she slipped back into her shirt and ignored the stares which were now
starting to bug her and made her way back to Iruka and Naruto. When she reached
them however Christie was already there scolding her.
“Aya-Chan have you lost your mind,” Christie said shaking her head, “you know
that tires you out.”
“Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know,” Iruka said with surprise, “it was actually my fault
since I asked her to prove she had them.”
“No it was Aya-Chan’s,” Christie protested angrily as she studied her friend’s
pale color. “She knows it tires her out and could have told you so herself Iruka-Sensei.”
“Oh shut up already,” Aya mumbled trying to ignore the slight trembling of her
fingers. Yes it was true she could have said something about the fact that pulling out
her wings without the help of chakra tired her out. But Aya wasn’t about to admit that
the woman’s irritation that had drove her to do it. In all truth though it wouldn’t have
been so draining if she just practiced more like her mother told her too. Maybe she’d
actually start practicing more she decided as the room swam once before settling.
“Amaya-Chan are you alright,” Iruka asked not noticing the trembling of the girl’s
fingers since she kept them hidden behind her back.
“Of course I am,” Aya said glad that everyone had gone back to their previous
conversations and the girl and her family had left. Though Aya was sure everyone
would be talking about her now, not that she wasn’t used to that. While she’d been
distracted with her thoughts however Christie had moved closer to her. She grabbed
one of Aya’s arms whipping it and the hand with the offending fingers to the front of her.
“I knew it Aya-Chan your fingers are trembling.”
“What does that mean?” Naruto asked.
“It means that she over exerted herself,” came Sasuke’s voice from just beyond
Iruka. When the teacher moved to the side and made the boy visible Aya glared at him
for interfering.
“I’m fine,” she muttered taking her hand back from Christie with a small jerk.
“Look I’ve done it before without passing out so its no big deal.”
“But it is a big deal,” Iruka said sharply drawing all of the children’s attention to
him. “When you’re weak you can’t call chakra and all that you’ve learned can’t help you
one bit. You’ll need to be more careful in the future Amaya-Chan,” Iruka told her sternly.
“Ok, ok I get it,” Aya said quietly, she’d already decided to practice and make this
go away anyway. So she decided it was better to let everyone have their moment of
thinking she’d stop her foolishness. In Aya’s mind after all this was a weakness, one
she’d let go for far too long. Well that would be remedied soon enough.
“So what are you anyway?” Sasuke asked drawing her out of her thoughts.
“What?” Aya asked blinking in surprise.
“I asked what you were?” Sasuke repeated ignoring the girls who flocked at his
back.
“Oh,” Aya said with a shrug suddenly not wanting to discus herself anymore. “I’m
a Preternatural Hybrid,” she said at length before going on when he raised a brow to
prompt her to continue. “It means I have more than Preternatural species flowing
through my veins,” she commented dryly.
“I understand that,” Sasuke pushed lightly, “I meant what are you mixed with.”
Sighing Aya figured this just wasn’t her night and shrugged.
“I’m half Vampire, Half Archangel,” she said trying to keep her voice even.”
“But that’s impossible,” said one of the girls from behind Sasuke. “Besides
everyone knows Vampires are evil and don’t exist and that Archangels are good and
pure and wouldn’t sully themselves with a Vampire.” Aya frowned in anger but tried to
even her temper while ignoring Christie who was looking at her with a worried
expression.
“In light of your ignorance I’m going to choose not to be offended by that,” Aya
said to the girl with pale blue hair of whose name she didn’t know. “Now to straighten
you out. A, Vampires do exist and my father is one, B, they aren’t all evil, in fact my
father doesn’t even kill his food unless he absolutely has too. And of course C, I think
my mother might be offended if you were to say she sullied herself by marrying my
father.” The girl still looked unconvinced and shook her head stubbornly.
“Look I’ll believe the Angel-,” the girl began but was cut off by Aya.
“Archangel,” the girl said automatically.
“Very well, Archangel part then because you have the wings but where’s the
Vampire proof?” Sighing Aya opened her mouth as though she were yawning and was
not in the least bit surprised when the group crowded close to check out her pearl white
fangs. One boy even went so far as to poke at one and this surprised Aya. So much so
that she closed her mouth and stepped back pricking the boy’s finger with the sudden
movement. She caught the blood on her tongue and felt her eyes shut as she moaned
softly in delight. When she realized what she was doing however she pulled herself
together. Deciding that was something else she’d have to fix she forced her eyes open
again.
“Oh great,” Christie muttered looking at her friend. “Aya your eyes are changing,”
she said sighing, “the crimson is bleeding over the gold.”
“Well there’s absolutely nothing I can do about that,” Aya said with a shrug.
“When I told you to let me wear my sunglasses to the party you said no because they
would look silly inside.”
“Not to mention you wouldn’t be able to see,” another girl behind Sasuke, this
time one with blonde hair, said.
“Actually I can see perfectly fine in complete darkness with sunglasses on,” Aya
said with a shrug. When she saw mouths open to begin a new brage of questions she
decided that she’d finally had enough. “Well I don’t know about everyone else but I’m
starving,” she said walking away from them, toward the buffet table. She sighed in
disgust as a few people back away from her as though she were a freak. Not that she
wasn’t used to it Aya thought to herself as she made herself a fruit salad with the fruit
present. Finding an empty chair near her against the wall Aya sat and nibbled at her
fruit trying to ignore the stares she was still getting. After she’d finished her plate Aya
got to her feet again noticing that the crowd had thinned out a little. Deciding it was time
for her to go as well she quickly found the trash can and scanned the crowd for Christie.
She found her friend having a serious debate with a few other students and decided
disturbing her would be a bad idea. She knew the other girl well after all so she walked
toward the group waiting until she’d caught Christie’s eye. Raising her hand to signal
that she was leaving Aya grinned as she noticed the small nod in her direction to
indicate that she’d been seen. Even though she wasn’t quite sure Christie had noticed
she was saying good night, Aya wasn’t sure she cared. She was still much too amused
at wondering what fool had gotten the other started in a debate. As Aya walked out the
door she hoped the person would have some sense and give up soon because she’d
never known Christie to lose a debate. As she walked in silence along the dark streets
she sighed wondering what had gotten into her tonight. Normally she’d have said no to
the type of goading she’d been confronted with. No matter she decided as she reached
the apartment building. She moved swiftly up the stairs until she came to the door of the
apartment that she shared with Christie. Opening it she walked in with a sigh locking
the door behind her. Moving straight to her room she stripped and put the clothes she
wore in the dirty clothes. At a small glance at the growing pile of clothes she reminded
herself that she had to wash soon as she went into her bathroom. After taking a bath
she put her pjs on and got into bed falling asleep immediately. She woke up just before
daybreak several hours later and lay in bed confused as to what had woken her. Aya
rose from bed and made her way into the livingroom where she was greeted by a very
surprising sight. Christie and the students she’d been debating with were scattered
throughout the livingroom, all asleep in various positions. Pathetic she thought with a
shake of her head as she stepped over a classmate. When the person grabbed her
ankle and sent her sprawling to the floor she turned glaring back at the sleeping form
recognizing it as Sasuke.
“Idiot,” she muttered softly as she jerked her ankle out of his grasp. Getting to
her feet in irritation she walked into the kitchen where she found a couple more
classmates she recognized as Naruto and Sakura sleeping with their heads on the
table. Shaking her head in disgust she filled the kettle with water quietly and set it on
the stove to warm before she set to work making breakfast. While the water boiled on a
low heat she scrambled two dozen eggs, and made two plates of pancakes before she
set about frying three packs of bacon. Christie could just replace the food she figured
with a smirk since it was her fault that all these people were here. Just as she’d begun
setting the breakfast on the table the kettle shrilled and she watched as Naruto and
Sakura came too. Apparently the impromptu alarm also woke up those in the livingroom
and after taking the kettle off the burner she rushed into the livingroom making sure that
no one would use her bathroom. Once she was sure her room was safe Aya made her
way back to the kitchen. She then busied herself by making several plates of toast and
helped herself to several slices before she poured herself a cup of tea. Leaving the rest
of the students in surprise at the fact that she’d made enough breakfast for everyone
she walked to her room with her breakfast. After she’d settled on her freshly made bed
with her food and her ninja notes she studied and ate in silence. She was interrupted a
little later by a set of eyes boring into her and turned frowning with a piece of toast in
her mouth and a hand holding her loose hair out of the way. When she saw almost
every classmate that was in the house framed in her door and figured that the others
were there as well she frowned even deeper.
“Can I help you?” Aya asked after she’d released her hair and took the toast out of her mouth.
“We just wanted to thank you for making breakfast,” said the girl with light blue
hair that had talked to her last night.
“Your welcome,” Aya said with a shrug before she dismissed them mentally and
turned back to her breakfast and her studying. When she heard a throat clear again she
turned around confused as everyone had made their way into her room. “Now what?”
She growled in irritation.
“Well we also want to apologize for our behavior toward you last night,” said the
blonde haired girl who Aya had made the comment about being able to see in the dark
with sunglasses to.
“Oh,” Aya said her face falling into confusion. “Look it’s cool,” she said waving
away the apologies with a hand. “I wouldn’t even worry about it anymore.” When her
classmates smiled Aya nodded turning once more back to her notes and her breakfast.
She was immensely surprised when she felt someone lay a hand on her hair and forced
her to spin around. It was Sakura who was petting the heavy, living silk with a mixture of
envy and adoration.
“How did you get your hair to grow so long?” Sakura asked curiously.
“I’ve grown it since birth and never cut it as my mother had done and her mother
before her,” Aya muttered shrugging dejectedly. There was entirely too many people in
her personal space she decided and she wanted them gone now. When the girl nodded
Aya didn’t turn away again but shut her book and sighed turning so that she could see
the people in her room more clearly.
“Why did your eyes change when you bit Akira?” Asked Sasuke curiously
causing Aya to turn toward him. Sighing in irritation Aya figured this was probably the
real reason she had so many people crowded in her personal space.
“Bloodlust,” she said simply, slightly amused by the confusion that one word
spread through the room. “Look have you ever seen someone who sees blood and just
goes nuts?” When a few of her classmates nodded Aya continued. “Well it affects
Vampires the same way but purely in a hunger type sense. The blood makes us hungry
and we want to feed off any and all blood in the area. Those Vampires who have
control of themselves will distance themselves from blood and find food to feed on
instead. Once sated with food the bloodlust will let up.” Aya shrugged deciding that was
all she was going to say on the subject. Deciding to let her classmates make of the
information she had given them what they wanted she reached over to her night stand
and grabbed her watch. After glancing at the time she realized she had just over four
hours before school. Deciding to get to work practicing her jutsu along with a few harder
ones she’d learned in a few books at work she stood gesturing for the door. “Well I’m
glad you all liked breakfast and I’ll see you at school later,” She said firmly. When her
classmates trooped out into the hall she closed the door firmly before locking it and
leaning against it in relief. Christie was dead after she was done she decided. Her best
friend knew how she felt about large groups of people in such a close proximity. Later
she’d kill her Aya promised herself as she retrieved her scrunchie from the night stand
and tied her hair up in a messy bun. She promptly got to work on her basic jutsus as a
warm up. When she felt confident she moved into the other jutsu. After she’d forced
her body to take the abuse of learning the rigorous jutsu she smiled. Twice each with no
problems except large chakra use Aya noted before putting her notes away. Nothing
more practice won’t cure Aya decided looking at her watch to see she still had two
hours left. Pulling off her shirt and bra she took a deep breath and called out her wings.
Aya grunted in pain just as she had at the party but she pulled them back in and did this
several more times. The pain she noted had lessened considerably but she felt weak as
hell. Once again she came to the conclusion of more practice needed and shrugged off
her body’s need for rest. After cleaning up she tied her hair up into a tight ponytail and
got ready for school. She walked out of her room cautiously looking around for the mob
that had been her classmates. When Aya noted that the coast was clear she continued
to the livingroom with her notes in hand all the way to the front door. When she got
there she realized that the house was probably deserted so she gave a sigh of relief
and opened the door making her way out. After locking the door behind her Aya walked
to school taking her time and savoring being alone after being forced into such close
proximity with so many people. When she arrived at school most of the class was
already assembled so she took her seat before taking a moment to glare daggers at
Christie who only smiled back innocently. Brat Aya thought with a chuckle before she
turned around and watched as Iruka came in. After taking his place behind his desk he
smiled up at his students realizing that after this moment they’d no longer be his. It was
a little sad, true but he knew that he’d have a new batch to mold soon.
“Ok as of today you are no longer my students,” Iruka said with a small shrug
and a grin. You are now ninja and therefore will be transferred under a jonin. Aya didn’t
think her sick and twisted sense of humor could take that comment and tried
desperately to hide the smirk that had bloomed across her lips. She wasn’t as
successful as she thought however. “Amaya-Chan is there something amusing you?”
Iruka asked frowning up at her.
“No not at all Iruka-Sensei,” Aya said forcing the smirk from her face. Iruka
looked at her a moment longer and then nodded letting it go. “Very well here are your
teams.” He ran through the lists of five quickly before Aya heard her name. “Dark,
Amaya–Chan, Jacobson, Christianne-Chan, Uzumaki, Naruto-Kun, Haruno, Sakura-
Chan, and Uchiha, Sasuke-Kun.” Several girls sighed heavily while Sakura smiled
largely. Guess she was happy about it Aya decided grumpily since she was far from
pleased at being on the same team as Sasuke. The boy got under her skin so easily
after all and roused her anger pretty quickly too. Oh well she’d just have to make the
best of it she figured as she waited to hear the name of their instructor. “You are
assigned to Kakashi-Sensei and are to meet him in classroom 111. You are dismissed.
Standing the five students made their way down from the seats and out the door.
Christie and Aya were forced to follow the other three to the appointed classroom since
they didn’t know the way. They sat in the empty classroom silently before Naruto
seemed to get restless.
“He’s late,” Naruto complained.
“Yeah I know,” Christie whined right along with him. Sakura, Sasuke, and Aya
looked at the two and then rolled their eyes.
“Show a little friggin’ patience,” Sakura yelled at the two. But they looked at her
with an evil expression and she backed away slowly. Christie and Naruto moved away
from them then to stand beside the desk and began whispering softly with their heads
down. While Sakura and Sasuke could only look at them curiously Aya however could
hear everything they said.
“We should get him for making us wait,” Naruto said with a grin.
“Yeah and I know just how to do it,” Christie said with a sly chuckle.
“Now wait I know what I’m doing too,” Naruto said with a smirk.
“Ok, so what do you think we should do?”
“An eraser above the door,” he said simply.
“Nah too little,” Christie said. While Aya listened to the two she shook her head in
disbelief hearing Christie’s plan that would also use Naruto’s simple eraser. Those two
were gonna get it and get it good Aya chortled to herself. Oh well maybe the Sensei did
deserve it though. It had already been half an hour and there was hide nor hair of him.
When she thought of the result of their plan again Aya found herself hooting with
laughter and Sasuke figured out first why she was laughing.
“You can hear every word their saying can’t you?” He said with a smug smirk.
Aya only smirked back at him and nodded.
“Sure can but if you wait just a second you’ll see what their gonna do. Sakura
and Sasuke’s eyes widened while Aya stayed, laid back on top of the first row of desks
nonchalantly. The three watched as Christie with Naruto’s help, set an eraser over the
door and a bucket of dirty water hooked to a lever over it.
“Knock it off you two,” Sakura said angrily as the two of them stood back to
admire their handiwork. “You’re gonna get in b-.” But that however was all Sakura got
out as a head peeked into the room. Aya could see that the bottom half of the face was
covered by a black mask and the headband that they now wore themselves covered his
left eye. His hair which was silver like Aya’s, stuck straight up and she assumed this
must be Kakashi-Sensei who was staring at them with the one visible black eye. Then
suddenly the eraser fell and hit the Sensei square on the head and when it hit the floor
the bucket of dirty water followed soaking him. The Sensei’s one eye showed irritation
and Naruto, Christie, and Aya were trying very hard not to laugh while Sakura looked
shocked and Sasuke arched one eye.
“Who did that,” Kakashi demanded wiping dirty water out of his hair. Sasuke
immediately pointed to Christie and Naruto who looked at the Sensei with large grins on
their faces. Aya deciding that someone should really stop this stepped in.
