Here you go my faithful readers.. a mother chappy about the first day of school hope you enjoy.. its a long one.

I stood behind the door of the loudest class I've had the 'pleasure' of passing and knocked on the door with my foot. Hands saying firmly I'm my pockets.

Iruka-sensei opened the door and looked down at me. He recoiled for a moment before he steeled himself and addressed me smiling brightly.

"Aww Missy-chan it's good to see you again. I was informed I would be getting a new student today but was unaware that it would be you "

"Its good to see you to Iruka-sensei" I smiled slightly he's getting used to my appearance.. finaly it took him long enough. He couldn't even look at me last time. "I'm just glad it's someone I know. Makes things WAY easier"

"well I'm glade to help, come on in ill introduce you to the class" he stood aside and led me threw the door "just in time too I was about to start class"

I stood in front of a completely oblivious class that has yet to notice my presence. Only being drawn in when iruka-sensei called. ok we actually it went something more like this

iruka- *cough *

class- *keeps talking*

iruka- *coughs louder*

class- *fangirls over sasuke, well shikamaru sleeps, choji eats, akamaru barks, ect*

Iruka- * irk mark* SIT DOWN SHUT UP AND PAY ATTENTION WOULD YOU.

Well you get the point. Once we had the classes attention I heard a few gasps.

A scoff sounded from the middle of the classroom "see I told you she was scary.. hn freak" oh yes that's right Inos in this class. Great first impression Yuko. I scolded myself.

however to my surprise I didn't have to ignore the comment.

"that's not very nice Ino, " a chubby boy with swirls on his cheeks spoke up from the front of the room, turning around to face the judging blond.

now that he spoke up it seemed to stir the sleeping kid beside him to add in his own opinion. "ya didn't I hear your dad say to be nice to her, something about him not wanting to give you another lecture on manners."

ino huffed and tuned away nose in the air "oh be quiet choji, shikamaru , its not like you know anything, I mean look at her, I bet shes got a personality to match those looks of hers"

"Ino!!!!" iruka sensei came out of his rage fueled shock " keep in mind I will be speaking to your parents about this." a groan escaped ino but otherwise shut up.

"good now why don't you introduce yourself and then we will take a few questions from your classmates" sensei smiled down at me and signaled for me to start talking.

I took a deep breath to help rid myself of my nerves, this not going unnoticed by the sleepy boy, shikamaru I presume, as he elbowed choji and whispered something to him. I released my breath and acted as if nothing happened. " hello, my name is Yuko Morino " at this Iruka began choking on his coffee. "im new to this village and this is the first time ive ever gone to school however I cant say im over ecstatic as not many people my age seem to like me." I said honesty "any questions?"

hands went up all around, however I don't really think that mattered as they al shouted out questions anyway.

"how did you get those scars?"

"do you like anyone in this class, like Love like?"

"ya don't you think sasuke is hot?"

"you better stay away from MY sasuke " well I don't think that quallifys as a question but oh well

getting tired of the questions I spoke up above them successfully quieting them down.

" first of all how I got them depends on what ones your talking about as they all have a different story behind them, next... who the heck is sasuke and why do you all talk about him like hes a god, I didn't peg you people as religious. " gapping silence was my only answer along with a few discussed and hateful if not jealous scoffs ,so I continue "and as for if there's anyone I "love" " I put emphases on Love adding in the finger quotation marks " you don't have to worry about that, you see this." I shoved a thumb at the scar stretching across my face ". you don't like me why should anyone else.. trust me I gave up on Love along time ago"

"see I told you she was freak, psh not caring about love. what kinda girl are you. If you even are one that is, why is your hair so short anyway, and did you seriously get those cloths in the guys section because that's what I looks like."

"ya and what do you mean about which scars? and different storys?"

oh that's right my jacket hides most of them hu... " well I got them all at different times for different reasons, here take a look." if there was anything I could be proud of it was my scars, and soo I slid off my new leather coat and showed off the ones riddling my arms and the muscle that came with it. I didn't even notice all the muscle until now, man these people are making me really self conscious.

"not too feminine hu I guess im not helping my image, however short hair is easier to manage and doesn't get in the way, and yes I did get these from the men's section, it looked more comfortable and WAY less complicated as all those fancy kimonos I see most you girls wearing." I shrugged and answered honestly yes they make me self conscious but im not going to change me for the sake of them... I hope I can stick to that.

"Eww you have MORE of them " if by them you mean scars.. yes yes i do I rolled my eyes.

" come on I'm sure there must be an upside to having scars" the chubby boy,choji , said a bit unsure. His friend looked at him like he couldn't believe he would think there was an upside to this.

I couldn't stop my smile, no matter how creepy, "Actualy yes" I answered. Earning a suprized look from shikamaru and utter disbelieve from most the class. Choji looked like he won the lottery wonder why. "For one it's a great conversation starter as you can tell... and umm well " I smirked be jealous lady's " I don't have to wory about getting pimples. Unlike most if you will in as few years"

A new respect seemed to pass thew the females of the class. Well exept for a Pinkett in the corner is that her natural hair color. . OH who am I to be talking I have orenge hair.

"Give up on love. how could you do something like that. I mean don't you ever want to meet that special someone a knight in shining armor or a prince charming. Get married have kids and live happy ever after?" She ogled at a boy with raven hair sitting a few rows in front of her

Oh so that must be sasuke. He doesn't look very god like to me... stupid fangirls.

"Well sure.. if it happens it happens; but as of now I'm not counting on it. "

Iruka-sensei put a hand on my shoulder and scratched the back of his head. "Well we don't have much room as of currently. So I'm not to sure where you can sit" part of me knew he did this for my sake. That there where a few open chairs around the class but iruka wasn't about to put me by anyone as of right now hopefully avoiding conflict with the who don't like me... for that I'm grateful.

A murmur went threw the crowd.. mostly things like "thank goodness she's not sitting by me" and "She's soo weird. She might even need a desk to herself. " I simply shrugged them off.

"Iruka-sensei she can sit here !" Two voices rang in unison. My head snapped up from the position it had fallen to.

Once more I saw those boys, shikamaru and choji, with there hands raised at various levels. Choji looked perfectly happy to volunteer well shikamaru had his hand half way up. Not judging but not completely excepting.

As the day went on we had multiple more classes. From wepondry too history and tai jutsu class.

Turns out I'm ahead of all the girls in my class. That wasn't to suprizeing. However I was also at the top of the boys as well. Though that's because they all got lazy and didn't practice all summer where i just spent the past month getting my ass kicked by pa. So I had a feeling as the year went on my ranking would drop a bit.

As of now I cake second only to the Inuzuka kid with his dog and the "not so god like" sasuke .

Least to say I was glad it was FINALLY lunch. I was making plans to go steel a few things from a near by bakery when Choji came by eating an bag of chips as well as a rice ball. Shikamaru a few feet behind sighing.

I looked up from my spot agenst my usual tree and made a silent greeting. In the form of a nod before tilting my head curiously. Wonder what they want.

"Um hi Yuko I'm choji and this is my best friend shikamaru.." he introduced before seeming to notace somthing of utmost importance " ...you don't have a lunch with you " he gasped.

"Well ya.. I usually just steel what I need. " I answered casually.

Finally shikamaru spoke up "steal.. why do you need to steal your food. ?"

"Well I guess I don't HAVE to.. but we don't have much food at home and old habits died hard. I spent most my life stealing to survive." they both went wide eyed what's that about "I could have sworn I mentioned being new to the village"

"Ya you did.. soo umm wanna come eat with us. Mom always packs extra for snacks so I have enough to share."

"Ya that way you won't have to steal.. it would be too Trublesome to have a new friend get arrested on the first day of school."

I smiled "Sure "

Did I just make a friend. . Ha didn't see that coming.

They began walking to wherever they were going fully expecting me to fallow.. I hesitated for a moment before running to catch up and let them lead the way. There wasn't much talking but it wasn't awkward eather, so I didn't mind.

shikamaru had his face to the sky well choji was stuffing his now chipmunk cheeks with chips. As for me...I was rapidly looking around trying to memorize the way and where we were. Hey what can I say I'm still getting used to this strange and very large village.

We passed threw a nearby shop and made our way to the roof. By the way shikamaru didn't even have to look where he was going and choji waved to the lady behind the counter they come here alot.

Me well I did my best to hide behind choji and not be seen. He notace of course but thankfully didn't do anything about it. After today the last thing I need was more attention. Expecially from the civilian population,who are much less accepting of Strange appearances even on a child. And I'm a bit ashamed to say... I can be a bit uncharacteristically shy,I can try to suck it up and hold my own but well. You get my point.

"We come up here everyday" choji finally broke the silence "shikamaru says it's the best place to cloud watch.. and it's away from all the other kids so they won't be a problem for you."

"Ya some peace, to keep you away from the fangirls squeeking" shikamaru added lazily.

I sighed a quick thanks "ya getting away from all .. that. . Sounds nice about now"
