Chapter One
Sasuke Uchiha sat at the table in the dining room eating breakfast while his guardian was talking on the phone. Sasuke had raven black hair that framed his face and onyx colored eyes. He was sixteen years old and was currently attending Konoha High, a local public high school. Sasuke was a straight A’s student and the current junior class president. His guardian was a strange man who wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face and an eye patch over his left eye. He had silver-grey hair, despite his age, and his only visible eye was a blue-grey. His name was Kakashi Hatake and he has been looking after Sasuke for the past eight years.

Sasuke had lost his parents when he was only eight. They had gotten into a car accident one night and unfortunately didn’t make it. This left Sasuke and his older brother, Itachi, alone. Itachi was thirteen at the time. He is now twenty-one and currently on a business trip. Since the death of their parents, the two boys have been living with Kakashi. Itachi, at the age of fourteen, became the head of the family company, Uchiha Inc., after over throwing the previous CEO.

Sasuke quickly finished his meal and began to gather his things for school. He took one last glance toward his guardian, headed to the door, put on his shoes, and left. Once outside, Sasuke ran into some of his friends. Neji Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Gaara no Sabuko, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi. Neji had long brown hair tied back in a ponytail and lavender eyes. Kiba was a dog hybrid with messy, brown hair and dark brown eyes; he also had two upside down triangles under each eye. He had a pair of ears and a tail that were the same color as his hair. Gaara was a raccoon hybrid with deep red hair and sea green eyes. He also had a pair of raccoon ears and a matching tail. It was a light brown nearly tan fur with dark brown stripes. Shikamaru had brown hair styled in a ponytail that resembled a pineapple and brown eyes. Choji had light brown hair, brown eyes, and a red swirl on each cheek.

“How ya doin’ Sasuke?” Kiba asked in an annoyingly loud voice.

“Fine. How ‘bout you guys?” Sasuke inquired. There were murmurs of “Good” and “Fine” from his friends.

They continued on their way to school when Shikamaru suddenly remembered something.

“Hey, we’re getting a new student today,” Shikamaru lazily replied.

*scene change*

Sasuke and his friends arrived to school with fifteen minutes till the tardy bell. They split off going to their respected lockers and then off to their homeroom. Each one was curious about what the new student would be like. Questions like if it was a boy or girl; what did they look like; were they fun to be around; were they shy; what they liked to do; would they be in their class, etc.

Sasuke was the first of his friends to arrive to his homeroom. He took his seat in the back by the window. He then took out his notebook and began to study for his history test he had in fourth hour. However, his study time was cut short by two annoying leeches named Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka. Sasuke stared at the two girls with distaste. Sakura had bubblegum pink hair and jade green eyes. Her skin was a light pale color. Ino was a blue-eyed blonde with cream colored skin, slightly tanner than Sakura. Both girls were practically on top of him. Ino was leaning over his desk in a suggestive manner and Sakura was latched onto his arm as if she were a part of him. Sasuke knew that Sakura was trying to rub her non-existent breasts on his arm in hopes of “winning him over.”

Just as they were about to open their mouths to say something, Sasuke immediately replied,” No.” Both girls pouted in what they thought was a cute manner but was really make Sasuke sick. “Please leave. I am busy right now and I wish to be left alone. And no, I will not go out with either of you.” Sasuke said all of this with a monotone type voice, but you could hear the underline warning in his voice and see it in his eyes. Again both girls pouted but left him alone.

It wasn’t that Sasuke hated or loathed the two girls; they were just annoying and constantly bothering him about going out with them or fighting over who sat next to him and other such trivial things. It gave Sasuke a headache. Just as the two annoying leeches left Neji and Gaara entered the classroom. They walked over to Sasuke and sat down in the row in front of him. Gaara took the window seat while Neji took the seat to Gaara’s right.

“What took you so long?” Sasuke demanded.

“The usual,” was Neji’s reply. Sasuke just snorted. He should have known. Neji and Gaara have been dating since the beginning of the summer. Sasuke decided to return to studying when the rest of his friends arrived. Kiba sat one chair away from Sasuke in the back row and Shikamaru and Choji sat next to Neji, Choji sitting on Neji’s right with Shikamaru on Choji’s right.

The group settled into light conversation about what they had been up to over the weekend and what they planned to do during the next one. Sasuke glanced over his notes while listening to his friends talk. About ten minutes after the tardy bell rang, Kakashi, their homeroom teacher, finally makes his appearance.

“Good morning,” was his cheery greeting. The class just stared at him for a minute before going back to whatever they were doing prior to his entrance. Kakashi just chuckled as he made his way to his desk. He sat down and pulled out an orange book and began to read. Completely ignoring his students. The announcements were long over and the students had about fifteen more minutes left of homeroom.

Suddenly Kiba asked,”When is the new kid suppose to be here?” Shikamaru just shrugged.

*scene change*

Sasuke and his friends were walking out into the cafeteria for lunch. They had made it through homeroom, first hour literature, second hour mathematics, third hour science, and fourth hour history. As they waited in line for their food, Gaara began to question Shikamaru if there really was a new student.

“Yes, there really is a new student. And no, I don’t know when they will be here or anything about them,” Shikamaru stated.

The six of them walk toward an empty table in the courtyard with their food. Once they got outside they saw…
