The Forgotten Clan (Naruto Fanfiction)

Would No Longer Be Alone

Chapter 3

Kami damn Yamanaka Ino. He'd never met a girl as persistent as she was. Her questions ranged from his oddly colored eyes to his past in Yukigakure then to the great white bear he'd rode to school. It was all he could do not to wring that pretty little neck of hers.

"Why are you wearing gloves? It's like almost summer."

Kami have mercy on his soul. Why wouldn't she just take a hint. "You wouldn't like it if I took my gloves off." He hissed, tugging at the edges of said clothes to keep them on.

She looked like she was about to argue, but was interrupted by Iruka calling on her to answer the next question. He must have noticed she'd been bothering the mint haired boy. Too bad the pink haired girl sitting in the desk across the aisle took this chance to talk with him.

"Why are you wearing gloves?"

Aki stared down as his hands, covered in the gray fabric. They went all the way up to his elbows, with his black arm guards helping to hold them up. He raised one to where it almost looked like he was examining it, but in reality he was thinking of what tortures lay beneath the soft leather fabric.

"To hide the horrors underneath." Was his only reply, he didn't like the way her emerald eyes were scanning his body. If he'd been anyone else he would have felt violated, but really this type of thing was normal. People always looked at them as though they were some creature that did not belong.

"Are you related to Sasuke-kun?"

His brows furrowed as he finally turned to meet her gaze, some confusion pooling in his orange and purple orbs. "What?"

Sakura pointed to the boy a row ahead of her, the raven was awfully still upon hearing his name. Aki was sure it was because he wasn't sure what they were talking about. He'd probably blocked out the first part of the question and only heard his name.

"Are you related to him?" She asked again, great interest glinting in her eyes, it was the type he tried to ignore when approached. "You look a lot alike."

"No. I've never seen him before in my life." He said, looking the boy over once before returning his gaze to the front. The boy did look similar to him, he could understand why the girl had asked. If someone had given him black hair dye and contacts, they could have passed for brothers.

Though Aki's hair was longer than the other boy's, his reaching almost to his shoulders, while the raven's was only just grazing his chin. To add to their similarities, both boys were wearing a matching blue shirt with a high collar, only difference was Aki's had a zipper on the front and Sasuke's had a red and white fan on the back.

It appeared at that same moment the Uchiha was realizing the same thing, as Aki noticed his face changing from confusion to shock then finally back to confusion. He wasn't the only one who had heard the pink girl's observation though.

Soon he could feel most of the classes' gaze on him and alternating to Sasuke. This was going to be a long six weeks. Kami only knew what they were thinking and how it would effect his everyday life.

"Great, next thing you know they'll be squealing over you too." Kiba grumbled as they two were walking to go eat lunch.

Aki's brow furrowed as he glanced at the Inuzuka. "I'm afraid I don't follow." Why would they be squealing all over him? Was there something he did to encourage them to chase him?

"Just wait, you'll understand what I mean soon enough."

"Oi! You're the new transfer kid, right?!"
