Stuck in Naruto? Um... What?

Chapter 5: The academy

I was having a bad day.

In the time period of about an hour, I had walked into three lamp posts, stubbed my toe twice on the same chair and somehow managed to walk into a window (don't ask). Yep, somebody was going to die today.

After the Hokage and I had our little conversation, he had Mask guy (which I later learned his name was Kakashi) explain to me the fundamentals of the village. Our conversation went a little like this:

Me: Uh, hi.

Mask guy: ...

Mask guy: What's your last name?

Me: *sweatdrop* I don't have one.

Mask guy: ...

Me: What's your name?

Mask guy: Kakashi

Me: Last name?

Kakashi: *closed eye smile* Just Kakashi.

Me: ...

But wait, you think this is awkward? Read on.

Kakashi: So are you planning to go to the ninja academy?

Me: Uh what-

Kakashi: Great! I'll pick you up at 7:00, don't be late. (A/N: How ironic ;)

Me: ...

And yeah, that's basically how my conversation went yesterday. So now, I was getting ready to go to a place I don't know. I know, the universe just hates me.

As I finished tidying myself up, I waited for Kakashi at the door of the apartment the Hokage was renting for me.

5 minutes past...

10 minutes...

15..

30...

45...

I was starting to fall asleep on my couch when a Kakashi suddenly appeared in front of me in a puff of smoke.

"Hello!" He greeted, flashing a closed eye smile.

"Gah!" I screamed, trying to punch him. Luckily (for him) he dodged it on time. Okay, this is getting old now.

"Ready to go to the academy?" He questioned cheerily, freaking me out a bit. He seemed a little too happy.

An irk mark grew on my forehead as I raised a fist, shaking it in anger.

"You're late!" I seethed.

Kakashi sweatdroped and scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"A black cat crossed my cat so I had to take the long way around..."

My irk mark grew bigger, "Liar!"

"Anyways," Kakashi started, laughing nervously, "Let's get to the academy, shall we?"

I reluctantly agreed.

"Great, let's-"

"Wait, wait, wait, hold on a second," I held both my hands up.

Kakashi turned back to look at me with a raised eyebrow. Or maybe both, I couldn't really tell since only his left eye was visible.

"This ninja academy thing," I laughed nervously, "it's not actually for ninjas, right?"

He stared at me for a bit, making me feel a bit stupid for asking the question, but surprised me with his response.

"Yes," he answered bluntly.
