beginning of another start

Walking to school it was just another day to another start with another rival that Naruto had to deal with.

Only this time the rival was a girl and was his senpai girl cousin, 'that was a surprising twist.'

Naruto knew he had to be careful, Naruto fully understood that the type of trauma that he put his Senpai girl two weeks ago now and do not want to try to harm a family member.

He knew as long that girl did not give him any trouble he would not harm her even though she is the cousin to his Senpai girl.

By the time he got to school he already saw his senpai girl along with her cousin and to what surprise him was also Ryuji was there along with them.

Getting closer and not to be seen, "look it's been over 7 weeks, I know you've been probably busy and all but come on! you and her have always been friends, so can you tell us the truth what is really going on?" Atsuo ask wanting to know something.

Naruto knew what she was asking, she was trying to get Ryuji to tell the truth about why Ryuji stop spending time with his Senpai girl.

Ryuji face started to turn red, "Look I told you I just been very busy with many other things, I mean come on school and everything, it's just been getting too busy that all!" Ryuji turn away.

Atsuo was not going to let this go, "You're not a good liar! I can tell your hiding something! You are such a tsundere!" Atsuo yelled but Ryuji kept walking away.

Naruto had decided to come over, "hey is everything all right?"

Atsuo And ayano turn around and look surprise to see Naruto.

ayano look nervous and turn away and start to leave, "oh yeah, sorry but I got to go somewhere."

Atsuo was about to leave with her cousin but Naruto speak up to her, "hey wait, are you trying to find out what's been going on with my friend ryuji?"

Naruto had to try to get ayano cousin attention and had to find a way to gain her trust, Atsuo turn around and look at him, "yes I'm trying to figure out something with him, he's been acting avoiding my cousin, I mean those two have always been best friends and then Ryuji has always been busy over 7 weeks ago."

"Well if you want, I could try to ask him he always would talk to me, I'm sure I can get the answer out of hin," Naruto said as Atsuo look surprised.

"You would really do that for me? All right then, I'll see you later then," Atsuo said before leaving and heading over to the garden club members.

Naruto was left there just wondering to himself as he whisperer and shook his head, "Oh this is just great, now I have to find and make an excuse and get Ryuji help."

Heading over to fine Ryuji who was in the classroom at his desk, "oh hey Naruto, what you been up to?"

"Nothing much besides Atsuo wanting to know why you have not been spending time with your old best friend," Naruto said as he took a seat.

"Look I'm keeping my promise to you and I...?" Naruto cut him off.

"It's completely all right, I've been thinking about it and I know you both will always be friends, you don't have to stay away from her but I'm warning you don't try to take her," Naruto said sounding a bit serious what kind of a bit joke.

Ryuji kind of look a bit confused, "huh? Why are you saying this now I mean? Well I mean it's kind of surprise you would say this now to me."

"Okay look I know Atsuo wants to know why you have not been spending time with ayano
as she told me, I know that you're not going to tell her about what happened between you and me with the promise you made, however because of what happened to ayano I think everyone who cares about her should be there especially what has happened just recently," Naruto explain as Ryuji smiled.

"You're right, but what are we going to tell her?  I mean after all we have to of course tell Atsuo and ayano, do we I mean what exactly happened would it ruin your chance to get with her?" Ryuji ask, Naruto got up and came over and whisper something into his ear.

Ryuji looks surprised, "really? Are you sure the excuse is going to work?"

"You be surprised I have been able to make all kinds of plans throughout my time," Naruto said with a little chuckle.

Ryuji started laughing but little did he know what Naruto actually meant by that.

After that class soon started and of course it was time to get back to studying.

Naruto cannot deny it but the class has been getting boring as all he would want to do is spend time with his Senpai girl ayano.

Time though would just have to wait until later

By the time it was lunch

Naruto and Ryuji quickly went to the cooking club, the members were there as they always went and to try out different types of food that they have already made.

Thank goodness Naruto had brought some money with him.

Heading up to the club leader who name was shoku, "hey excuse me but do you have any food I can buy, I completely forgot to bring my lunch.

shoku smiled and shook his head, "oh don't worry you don't have to pay, I'm not going to let someone go without lunch.

shoku got a bento box that was already made and it looked very delicious with a lot of kinds of food that Naruto hasn't seen in a bento box before, to top it all off it was even with a drink.

"Oh thank you so much, this really means a lot to me," Naruto said with a friendly smile as Ryuji didn't made the excuse but had bought some things from the vending machine.

"All right Naruto let's go find them," Ryuji said as they went and found them at the fountain.

"Hey excuse me," Naruto said with Ryuji standing right next to him, "if it's all right with you two can we sit here with you both?"

Atsuo had a big friendly smile, "of course you can," ayano looking a bit nervous but had a big smile on her face as she look away from Naruto.

Naruto sit right next to ayano as Ryuji sit right next to Atsuo.

Ryuji had decided to start to speak to them both, "Hey look listen, Atsuo and ayano, I know I have not been avoiding you but that was just because I have been busy, I didn't want to tell you what I was busy about but... If I have to be honest I was just worried that I might have been getting to mean, I was trying to work on myself and I was also trying to give you some space ayano."

ayano look at Ryuji as she was surprised by that apology, Atsuo on the other hand had an eyebrow raise, she could tell something was up here.

"Since what happened I want to give you something, actually both me and Naruto got you this but mostly Naruto," Ryuji said as Naruto did not expect that but smiled as he could tell Ryuji was trying to help him with getting with his Senpai girl.

They both gave ayano the food and she smiled, "oh? Thank you, thank you to both of you."

All of them started eating and we're having a good time together as they were enjoying the cherry blossom petals fell around them.

With info Chan

She was keeping her eyes on them without any of them noticing, 'dang he's finally getting close to her and not just stalking her from afar.'

Turning around and leaving and heading back to her little private space.

The two men and dark cloth had came to her, "what the heck is that boy doing now?"

"I cannot believe he's now spending time with that girl as well? He should be trying to find a way to get rid of her like the others!" The second one said as info Chan was not amused.

"Both of you keep your voice down do you want everyone to hear us?" Info chan said as this was definitely not the time.

"I cannot believe we've been wasting our time here for the past 7 weeks, how come Naruto has not done it yet? He should have finally gained the power to do so, all he has to do is spilled blood of one of his rivals and then that's it, then he can come back with us with his soulmate whenever she is to him," the first man said.

"You know we would still be here for another 3 weeks because of the curse, still there's only three weeks left, Naruto has to take care of her and three other rivals after that is the kyuubi course after all," info Chan said.

"We know... Look we're just getting tired of being here we want to go back to konoha, honestly I thought Naruto would be at least somewhat excited despite he lost the ability to feel emotions," the first man said as the other look at him.

"it's all because of that curse, I just cannot believe it brought him all the way here why couldn't bring him somewhere closer that was still in the element Nations?" The second man ask as info chan had really no interest on continue on this conversation.

Back with Naruto

Atsuo smiled, "I got to say Naruto, you definitely are a student I know that does not cause any trouble as the teachers have told me."

Naruto did look surprised by that, "how come the teachers told you?"

"Well believe this or not I actually had helped got transferred into another school thanks to a teacher, he's actually a long time friend of my parents, he's actually kind of surprised by you as the last 4 years of you in the school you never really cause any trouble, he once said to my parents about you that out of all the students that you were the only one that never gave him any trouble," Atsuo explain.

"Wait are you talking about my homeroom teacher?" Naruto ask as Atsuo nodded.

It was kind of surprised to hear that but soon the Bell ring and it was time to go back to class.

It was honestly a disappointment as it was nice granted, Naruto did not get a chance to speak too much to his Senpai girl that will always be her nickname but not to wish they could have talked more but she was just shy around him.

'hmm? I have got to try to get her to trust me more,' Naruto thought as he went back to class.

Everyone was heading back except for Atsuo, she was taking the other way around and to not a surprise it was Naruto's homeroom teacher.

"So tell me have you found out anything about him?" He asked but Atsuo shook her head.

"No, sorry but I haven't found anything about Naruto just yet, are you sure there's something off about him?" Atsuo ask.

"It is too early to tell for sure but I have my suspicions on him, you get going back to class, we'll talk later," he said before leaving her.
