Homura was sitting in the back of the class next to Shino, waiting for their teacher to show up. "How are your bugs going?" She asked randomly. "Urm... Fine. My dad told me to give you this" he muttered handing her a small scroll. "Thank you. I've been expecting this for a bit now" she chirped pocketing it. "Why don't you speak normally around everyone else?" She asked. "Because I don't feel comfortable around them, unlike you. You are just really easy to be around" he replied slowly. "All right class! Here are your teams!" Iruka-sensei called from the front of the class.

Homura was sitting in the same spot waiting with Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. "When is this guy getting here?" Naruto asked impatiently. "Patience. Naruto, Patience" she muttered reading the scroll Shino gave her. "Get down Naruto!" Sakura called making Homura look up. Naruto was setting a duster up so it would fall onto Kakashi's, their sensei, head. "Naruto he is a Jonin level ninja, like he is going to fall for that" Sasuke said rolling his eyes. "You don't know Kaka. He will" she said rolling her own eyes. Sure enough as soon as Kakashi opened the door the duster fell square on his head.

"Well my first impression of you all is: you are a bunch of idiots" Kakashi said tiredly. "Let's continue on the roof" he said beckoning them to follow.

"Let's start off with getting to know one another. Tell me your name, likes, dislikes, favorite food, hobby and dreams. You redhead go first" Kakashi said. Homura rolled her eyes and rolled up the scroll. "My name is Homura Nameikaze, I like training and reading. I dislike liars and cheats, my favorite food is Wachiwa's Dangoes. My hobby is learning new things and my dream is to get revenge for my parents death" she said stiffly. Kakashi nodded knowing all about the last part. Sasuke went next, then Sakura and Naruto went last, he paused on the thing he 'liked' before saying he had a crush on Sakura.

"Very good. You are all unique in your own way. I want you to meet me and training ground 14 tomorrow at 5:30am. Oh and don't eat breakfast or you'll puke" Kakashi said disappearing.

Later Homura meet him at Wachiwa's Dangoes. "Hello Homura-chan. Quite an interesting report I got for you" he said placing files in the table and flicking open one. "Says here you and Sakura got equal scores: perfect, but you've skipped little more then half of your time due to 'training accidents'" he said thoughtfully. "I usually did get into training accidents, but not always" she replied eating her Dango. "Are you going to listen to me on the 'no food' thing?" He asked closing the files knowing he would get anything else from her.

"Nope! I know you too well Sensei~" she chirped happily. "That feels weird hearing you say that" he replied. "Naruto Doesn't really 'like' Sakura.... You know that right?" He asked. "Then he doesn't it's not my right nor my privilege to find out" Homura replied sadly. "Hey. Could you say hi to him for me?" Kakashi asked as Homura dropped out of her seat. She nodded and made her way to her parents graves.

Homura dropped by Ino's family flower shop and walked in. "Hello dear! The usual?" Ino's mother asked. "Yes please! Is Ino home?" She asked handing over the money. "In her room. Sleeping, the training knocked her right out. See you soon Homura-chan" She said smiling. "Yes see you soon" Homura replied walking out of the shop with two red and white rose wreaths.

Homura laid them on her parents graves and bowed her head. "Hey Tou-San, Kaa-San. Kakashi says hi! I got put on Otōto's team" she began, tears beginning to form in her eyes. "That surprised me, so did having Kakashi as my sensei. I bet you're so proud of him dad. He really has grown up from the pictures you left me. I noticed he wore that stupid mask back then as well" the tears were swimming around the edges if her eyes now. "I really don't want to go through with this anymore... It's not fair. I want to at least see you. Touch your hair. Hear your voices" the tears fell as she collapsed to her knees. "I hate that man! He killed my family and left Otōto as he is!" She cried into the ground. "I want you back Kaa-San! And you to Tou-San! I want a family again... I.. I.. Miss you so much!" She whispered at their graves as she felt a soft hand land gently on her shoulder.

"Homura-chan... You need to go home" a soft voice said. She nodded as slightly larger hands pulled her onto the persons back. She wrapped her arms around the persons neck and buried her head into the persons back, falling asleep instantly, as the person walked through the emptier streets. "Homura-chan! Why are you on his back?" A voice asked. "Hello Naruto. Passed out. Taking her home" the person grunted. She rubbed her head gently turning her face. "Or asleep" the person said shifting her to a more comfortable position. "Ok. I'll take her" Naruto said. "No. Go home. You've got training" the person said walking down the road. "Fine! You get her home safely!" Naruto shouted running off. "He's kinda annoying. I only put up with him is coz you are friends with him, you know?" The person said the sleeping redhead.

They arrived at her home and the person put Homura into her bed. Then tried to untangle himself from her without waking her up. He soon gave up and sat on her bed with her curled up around his arm. He noticed tear lines going down her face and mentally face palmed. "Of course" he muttered wiping away the lines and gently flicking off the hair on her face. He soon slipped into sleep hugging her close to his body.
