~ New Friends and Rivals ~

Sanji and I made it to the academy before the 'creep' got to us. I mean what's so amazing about youth, or being youthful? All I know is stay away from the creep and youth, I guess. We don't need to get dragged into a situation similar to that again. That would be absolutely horrifying. I shivered and shook my head. I should probably head to class now.

I took a step. I rose an eyebrow. What was this? It felt like my feet were glued together. Panic soared through me. Please, please, don't be the creep again! If he's hanging off Mt legs again I will make sure that he doesn't have any children in the future. I glance down hesitantly and I don't see the creep. Instead, I spot rope wrapped around my feet. What the?

"Don't tell me you forgot already... Kanji, do you remember your punishment?" Sanji said very lowly with an evil smirk plastered on his lips.

I froze. Crap! I forgot about that. Still, why me!

"Oh yeah..." I mumbled, defeated.

I sighed and stood still for Sanji. Sanji started to wrap my ankles in rope, then he put my arms behind my back and wrapped rope around my wrists.

"Sanji are you do-" I started.

"Hm...yeah, try talking with tape over your mouth, sis." Sanji said smirking.

'Why I would so beat you to a pulp! You said rope not tape!' which really came out as "mm show gwowing sho beash you sho ah pulep! Yew shed rhop nht shap".

Sanji smiled slyly as he pulled me with the rope alongside him. He was slowly dragging my limp form to class. We kept doing twists and turns and it was getting annoying! When we finally made it to our class, Sanji stopped and dragged me in. He turned me to face the class. Everyone stared at me. Grunting, I glared at the people who were giving me weird looks. Freaks, I'm not a caged animal. I pouted.

Some one appeared in front of me, he had a scar across his nose and a small pony-tail. From his looks I'd say he's in his early twenties.

"You must me Kanji! Your brother here told me a about you. Oh and my name is Iruka, I'll be your new sensei." He stated while smiling warmly at me.

I just nodded to let him know I heard him. I couldn't really talk in my position. I turned to my brother and gave him my famous puppy eyes. I wanted out of these ropes. This would definitely work. My puppy eyes were to irresistible.

"Tch, fine I'll let you go." Sanji muttered in annoyance.

Yay! I'm going to be free, free! Now I get to talk and walk! I was doing a happy dance in my head. Clearly everyone thought I was weird as they watched me grin like an idiot. But who cares at this point. He untied me and ripped the tape off. Like he literally RIPPED it off with no care!

"OW!" I yelled in pain.

No one heard my shriek of pain, stupid people don't notice anything. Sanji sighed and stood next to Iruka-sensei.

"Can you two intrudoce yourselves." Iruka-sensei asked.

We both nodded and Sanji went first.

"My name is Sanji, I'm Kanji's twin brother. I'm 12 years old. My likes are my twin, the color black and sweets. That's about it. My dislikes are the color pink, sour stuff and anyone who messes with my twin brother. My dream is to be an amazing shinobi, strong enough to protect my loved ones."

I blinked. Why does he like sweets? It's clear sour stuff is way better! Well whatever, we don't need everything to be the Same between us. Everyones eyes snapped to me. Looks like I'm next.

"Hey, my name is Kanji, ya know. I'm Sanji's twin obviously. My likes are the colors black, white, and red, sour stuff and my twin brother! My dislikes are sweets and lastly the color pink. I despise pink so much... My dream is.... None of your business!" I explained, while shouting out the last part.

Everyone sweatdropped at my last sentence. I don't know why, but really, its none of their business.

"since we got new students were having a day free of test or work! Everyone outside to the training area and go have fun!" Iruka said with closed eye smile.

Everyone cheered, probably since they rarely have a day off. Lazy ash people... Iruka walked over to the door that led us outside, me and Sanji went first. Sanji was bored so he went and asked our new sensei if he needed any help. Of course it was a yes, and they went straight to work. I walked to a big tree and leaned against it, closing my eyes for a small, painless nap.

~Daydream/flashback~

I was in a our clan compound, it was very peaceful morning. I had just finished my early morning training and I was very tired. Stretching, I decided that I should go ask mom if she needed any errands done. I went straight for our house, and barged inside.

"Mom I'm home! Do you need any any thing from the market!?" I yelled. It took my mom a few seconds to answer.

"Yes honey, the list is on the table!" My mom yelled.

Nodding my head, I walked over to the table, fiddling with the list eith my fingers. Okay got it, let's see what she needs..

EGGS

MILK

CEREAL

BUY DANGO! (MAJOR)

Okay them...? She apparently really wants dango. Well I should get going, off to the markets! I jogged to the markets and looked for a dango shop first. Ahah, right next to me! What luck.

I walk up to the lady behind the desk and ordered, "1 dozen dango please." I ask the Lady politely.

She smiled and said, "coming right up sweetie."

I smiled at her as she truned her back to me and got to work. I waited patiently for the order to finish, my fingers tapping against the stainless counter. My long black hair was flowing in the wind, but that all changed after the incident...

~end of flashback/daydream~

I woke up to a feeling I was being watched. Isn't that a good feeling to wake up to. Note the sarcasm. I opened one eye and see a boy in front of me. He appeared to be observing my every move. He had black hair and dark onyx eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt with a high collar and white shorts.

"it's rude to stare." I spat.

He just came closer to my face.

"hn, Sasuke Uchiha." he replied.

Ignoring his greeting I look at his hair, noticing that it was shaped like a ducks butt! I try hiding my laugh with my hand covering my mouth but I can't, who the has hair the shape of a ducks butt! I burst out laughing, that's just to funny. Hey that can be my nickname for him!

"okay, duck butt.." I said casually while looking in his eyes.

His left eye twitched nonstop, he seemed to be getting aggravated....Might as well mess with him some more.

"duck..butt!" I said slowly so he could understand.

He lunged at me, landing on me in a straddling position. I was pinned to the ground. Growling I squirmed in his grip. But it was futile.

"I said my name is Sasuke not duck bu-" "RAPE, RAPE, HELP ME DUCK BUTT IS RAPING ME!" I cut him off.

My brother and Iruka-sensei came running over. Iruka took duck butt off of me, and my brother came over and helped me up.

"Kanji what happened!?" Sanji asked worried.

I didnt mean to get my brother worried nor Iruka. Now I feel bad, but duck-butt tried raping me! I had to do something about it..

"Duck butt got mad at me for no reason and jumped on me, pretty much straddling me so he can rape me! Im a guy, so that means duck butt is GAY." I explained, narrowing my eyes at Sasuke.

Sanji looked really mad, on the other hamd Iruka looked shocked for Sasuke's temper. Oh, he musty be one of those well behaved students. I think I ruined his little reputation.

"I'm not gay, I'll prove it!" Sasuke yelled. (A/N: OOC moment)

"Oh yeah? And how exactly are you going to do that, kiss one of the girls in the class?!" I yelled back, smirking.

"Hn..no! Nevermind.." Sasuke said defeated.

We started to glare at each other but then we both stuck out our hands.

"truce?" We said in unison.

I smiled. We both shook hands, I laughed he smirked.

"I like you, wanna be friends?" I asked hesitantly.

He looked shocked but answered, "yeah sure, I like you to.. But don't call me duck butt or else." (as a friend!)

Sanji just looked between the two of us dumbfounded at the scene before him, I can understand him. First we fight, and then we become friends? Pretty creepy.

"um...well I'm happy you two became friends. Everyone else is dismissed!" Iruka-sensei shouted leading the students back inside the building.

Everyone else left, but Sasuke stayed. I rose an eyebrow and approached him.

"hey, aren't you going to go home to your parents?" I asked confused.

A flash of hatred passed through his face and eyes. I gulped. It was pure hated in his eyes, nothing but hatred at the mention of his family.. Now I regret saying anything..

"I'm sorry, I've should've known..but just to let you know I don't have any family members either beside my brother. So don't feel alone I'm here, bye Sasuke." I explained sadly, leaving him to think about what I said.

I was close to tears. I miss my mom, dad... I walked away with a small frail smile plastered on my lips. I just made my first friend in a long time.

"come on Sanji, let's go to our new home.." I said.

Sanji gave me a worried glance but didn't say anything. I had made Sasuke Uchiha my very first friend, I knew a great friendship was going to start.
