Chapter 3 : Academy?!

Risu P.o.V

I woke up because of a loud explosion sound followed by a continuous barking. And when I woke up, a black smoke had filled up the room. I coughed and quickly ran outside of the room I awoken.

“Kakashi? Kakashi?! KAKASHI!!!” I screamed as loud as I can. The black smoke looked like it came out from the kitchen. I ran there as fast as I could and found Kakashi surrounded by some panic dogs, one dog with this blue bandanna even started yelling.

“Kakashi!! What’s happening? Your house was in fi…” I stopped realizing that the resource of the black smoke was because Kakashi’s failed attempt to cook. He successfully burnt his frying pan.

He turned back to me, smiling like nothing happen. “Morning, Risu…”

He quickly tossed away the burning frying pan to the sink and the black smoke started to reduce. I couldn’t help but laugh, his behavior was seriously funny.

“Stop laughing, Risu!! You are starting to annoy me here…” he complained.

“Hai… Gomen... I’m sorry really…” but I couldn’t stop my smile. Hopefully my smile didn’t annoy him.

He took 1 cup of instant Ramen from the cupboard and poured some hot water in it before putting it on the table.

“You only make for yourself?” I asked shocked with his behavior. Maybe, he was really annoyed by me.

“Nope, it’s for you, silly girl. Wash your self after the breakfast, I’ll come back here after meeting with the hokage.”

With that he vanished.

“Hi, Kid…” the dog that yelled at Kakashi before jumped up on to the table.

“Whoa…” I have never seen or met a talking dog. I squeezed him. Hey, I love dog if you were confused to why I hugged a random dog like this early in the morning.

“Don’t squeeze the dog…” he said desperately.

“Te-he… Sorry…” I released him from my grip. “I’m Risu. Amaterasu Risu. What’s your name? Why are you here?”

“I’m Pakkun. I’m a ninja dog that has made a contract with Kakashi.”  Pakkun introduced himself. “By the way, Risu, can you stop telling your family name that easily?”

“Eh, Why?” I asked. “Why couldn’t I tell people about my last name?”

“It could harm you…” he said, refused to answer in more detail. “Promise me, Kid…”

“Okay… I promise…”

I ran directly to the bathroom, wash my hair and clean my body from all the dirt and blood stain. In 20 minutes, I was as cleaned as I could ever be. I changed into clothes that Kakashi has prepared for me. It was a white shirt with some red strip on the short sleeves, dark blue short with additional net on the end of the short, he also bought a pair of dark blue sandal, it was really light.

“How consider of him…” I mumbled smiling, maybe he was a good person inside. I brushed my hair and tied it into a ponytail.

“You looked better. Ready to meet the Hokage?” I heard Kakashi’s voice from my back.

“Why should I meet with grandpa again? I just met him yesterday…” I pouted. Actually, I wanted to explore the town today.

“No buts or nots, just follow me or I’ll drag you there with force…”

“Then force me…” I sit on the chair refusing to obey his order. Again he threw me over his shoulder. Maybe it’ll become a habit if he continued to do this to me.

“Okay, I’ll walk… Put me down… You embarrass me!!!” I protested. No matter how much I kicked or hit him, he didn’t even consider putting me down. People that walked around us started to laugh or whispering. I blushed and tried hard hiding my face.

“Kakashi… You are a bully…” I growled. But, he ignored me.

Kakashi knocked the door to grandpa’s office. He really dragged me here by force and embarrassed me in the process.

“Come in…” I heard grandpa’s low voice from inside.

“Come on, Risu…” I didn’t bother to disobey him, it’ll be too troublesome.

“Hi, grandpa…” I greeted grandpa cheerfully. He smiled to me.

“You looked better today…”he said.

I twirled myself in a circle, showing my new clothes to him. “Kakashi bought this for me yesterday…”

“What a surprise…” he smiled happily.

“Yup… I would never ever thought he would buy me anything…” I smirked to him.

“Humph…” he looked away.

“Hey…”

“Now.. Now.. It isn’t time to argue… Have you tell her about it?” grandpa asked Kakashi.

He shook his head. ‘No’.

“Alright then… Risu, starting tomorrow you will attend the Academy to learn becoming a shinobi…”

“Academy?”

“Hm… It’s almost like a normal school, the difference is , there you learn how to become a shinobi, a ninja of Konoha…” Kakashi explained it to me.

“Oh… Sounds fun” I answered it. Not to be sarcastic, but I truly think that it would be fun.

“But, Hokage-sama, isn’t she too late to enroll to the academy. I mean the other kids have learnt there for some years already and she only had some weeks left. Wouldn’t it be risky for her? And not to mention she is a lot younger than the other”

“Aren’t you only 6 when you graduate from the academy?” grandpa answer made Kakashi silent immediately.

“ So what do you think, Risu? Could you catch up? Or do you want to enroll into a normal school?” grandpa tossed that question to me.

I clutched my fist tighter.

“Yes…” I answered with a full determination. It wasn’t like I didn’t have any basic at all. I also learnt something back then in my village.

No more word from Kakashi could make me retreat from my decision. He could also feel it.

“Kakashi?” grandpa asked wanting to clarified Kakashi’s decision as my guardian.

He shrugged, “Guess I need to buy you your school need today…”he said lazily.

I clutched both of my hand, punching the air and jumped up several times.

“Thank you… Thank you … Thank you, Kakashi… Love you… Love you so much…” I hugged him making him shifted uncomfortably.

“Quit it, Kid… Or I’ll change my mind…” he threatened.

I straightened myself. “Yes, sir…”

He smiled, I smiled too of course.

Really… He could be really good and kind sometimes.

Hokage P.o.V

I could see a new bond was created here, between a lonely silver wolf and a daughter of sun. I hoped they could fill the loneliness in each other heart.

“Grandpa?” Risu asked, she caught me looking at both of them. I cleared my throat.

“This is your enroll paper. Bring it with you tomorrow and give it to a teacher named Iruka. Be a good girl and make us proud…” I gave him a paper that I have prepared before.

She gave me a big smile.“Thanks a lot grandpa… Let’s go Kakashi…” she dragged Kakashi out. He bowed slightly to me before leaving.

Risu of Amaterasu clan, she was alone but she didn’t show her loneliness instead she tried hard to make another bond. She really reminded me of this certain boy. A trouble-maker of Konoha. Also lonely and parentless. Both bright, active and full of promise. I kind of hoping they could build that special bond called friendship.

Naruto P.o.V

I took a stroll around the city after class today. I have to go to the academy again tomorrow. What a bother…

I didn’t hate school at all, I love school, I could play a lot rather than when it was holiday. But, the trouble was, I wasn’t that bright child type or the diligent type but more like the knuckle-head type even maybe the trouble-maker type that always happy-go-lucky.

“I’ll go to the park. Shikamaru and Choji is probably there, if they aren’t maybe I can find Kiba and Hinata.” I decided.

I walked while humming any note that come to my mind when I saw this pink haired girl that I had crush on, Sakura.

“Sakura-chan… Hi…”I waved to her. She looked embarrassed but more like annoyed. I didn’t care, she could like Sasuke and hate me, as long as I love her, maybe one day she would look to me and ditch that annoying Uchiha.

“What are you doing, Sakura? Come inside and don’t talk with that children…” I could hear her Mother yelled from inside. She waved secretly to me before going inside.

I smiled bitterly when the fact hit me. I suddenly realized that more and more people were avoiding to have any contact with me. I walked faster and faster so I couldn’t see anyone who were avoiding me. It was better to not know rather than piling up my hatred toward them.

I could see the park now and also the children laughter. I walked faster and by the time I was there, most of the children there freaked out. Most of them ran away, but luckily Shikamaru and Chouji stayed.

“Hi, Shikamaru,Chouji…” I gave them my cheesy big smile.

Shikamaru just waved his hand, he laid lazily to watch the cloud. Sometimes he was yawning, he tried hard to not fell asleep on the other hand Chouji was too busy to eat his Potato Chips to even realized I have greeted him.

“Chouji…” I smacked him from behind. He twitched, but when he saw me he smiled.

“Naruto…”

I hate dusk, it meant that all of my friends had to go home. Shikamaru waved to me ,–Chouji too of course—,when his parent picked him up.

“I wonder, how it feels when there is someone to pick you up or wait upon your arrival at home.” I mumbled knowing that I would never feel that.

I heard a familiar laughter. Unconsciously I followed that voice. It led me to a small lake, I saw a maroon haired girl sit there next to an adult with silver hair. She joked around before laughing out loud. I could see a twinkling in her beautiful jade green eyes. I wished she only laugh like that to me. I wish I could monopoly her stares, I wished she li…

“Naruto…” I snapped out of my thought. I could see her running toward me, the silver hair guy still sit on his place. Looked like he was Shikamaru type that always says everything ‘too troublesome…’

She stumbled on her way to me. I panicly ran to her.

She smiled to me, a very sweet smile that made my heart thumped.

“Te-he…” she brushed the dirt from her white shirt. Yesterday’s white robe made her look cute, and her today’s outfit and also the fact that today she was cleaner made her looked fabulous.

“Hey, hey, by the way Naruto…” she started. Her face came closer to my face. It made my heart thumped crazily. I could feel my cheek getting hotter every minute. “Do you attend the Academy?”

I blinked confusedly to her question.

“Naruto?”

I nodded. “Ye.. Yes…” I smiled, a terrible one for today maybe. I tried to hide my nervousness but it just wouldn’t work.

She grabbed my hand tightly. “Great…”

“Risu… Let’s go home…”the silver haired guy said from the street a little further from where we stood. I didn’t even realize he had moved from his place.

“See you tomorrow then, Naruto…” she hugged me before running toward the silver haired guy.

I felt strange especially my heart. It wasn’t beating this fast for Sakura-chan, but it beat like crazy to a girl I have just known yesterday? And her hug was so warm. How long has it been since I was hugged by people?

“Maybe I li…” I shrugged my head. Impossible. That was just too impossible to happen.

“I hope I can meet you again tomorrow…” I smiled while walking to my apartment.

Risu P.o.V.

“Ne… Risu… How could you know that boy?” Kakashi asked me. He had slowed down for a while now so he was really walking by my side now.

“Random kind boy who helped me in the Ramen shop…” I smiled clearly remembered what happened yesterday. Among all of the people who ate there only Naruto who lend me a hand when I didn’t even know how to eat with a food utensil that was common there. “Uzumaki Naruto…”

I waited for Kakashi to comment me. He usually did that without fail but he stayed quiet even until we got home.
