I wake up to my alarm and get dressed in the same uniform type as yesterday. I remember Kiba picking me up as I slip on my shoes. I hear muffled yelling form outside my window. I slide back the curtains and see Kiba and the rest of them outside the house. I trot down to the kitchen and nab a slice of bread before grabbing my book bag and walking out the door. "Hey Boss!" Kiba shouts as I shut the door and lock it. "Hi Kiba," I say as we all walk to school. "How are you liking school?" Hinata asks. "It's relatively boring, I learned the materials you are studying online a while ago," I state.

"That's good. I mean, you won't be struggling in any classes," Choji add between bite of chips. "So how do you plan to go about the school year? Lay low or have fun and stick out?" Kiba asks excitedly. "If you're talking about getting into fights you can forget it. I don't have time to get into disciplinary problems here," I counter. "Sounds boring," Kiba grumbles.

"You're also not running the organization," I pipe up, which shuts him up quick. I enter the school and I feel the eyes glue to me once again. I feel Neji and Kiba behind me like guards. Hinata and Choji are on either side of me. I mentally roll my eyes at their protectiveness. "By the way, be ready for gym third period, coach is brutal," Hinata told me before I go to Math- Asuma.

I arrive in the orderly classroom and make introductions as usual. "Haruno, raise your hand," he calls out. "You'll be sitting beside her," he says as I stride to my spot. Neji happens to be in front of me. I smirk as I sit down next to the scowling Haruno. Asuma starts class as rambles on about terms I already know.

Third POV

Sakura hated her existence from the moment she walked into her class. If she thinks she can waltz right into her school, she was wrong. Kuro seems relatively quiet, not someone who would snitch to anyone. But then Sakura recalls those minuscule smirks that makes her seem arrogant, like she knew exactly how to push her buttons. Those annoying scoffs, the trip she evaded in art, and those smirks. God, those smirks made Sakura's blood boil.

Her mission had been clear since yesterday and that is to destroy her in all ways possible. Reputation, mental state, appearance, relationships, and grades. But she can't do it alone. No, there's power in numbers. Kuro doesn't have that advantage.

It was perfect Sakura is going to find out what makes her tick and snatch it away from her. Kuro knows of the cherry blossom's hatred towards her, but is ignorant to the reason. She shrugs off her petty teasing and thinks nothing of it.

The bell rings as Kuro finished her assignment that is due in two days. She strides out the door and heads to her second period which is Law with Ibiki. Her schedule was split into do day with four periods each. The two class schedules alternate every day which is why she has math and law instead of language arts and biology for the first two periods.

Kuro's POV

I looks around the room and spots Neji. I glides over and sits next to him. We start class discussing loopholes in law not even asking for my introduction which is much to my pleasure. I scope out the people in my room. That Nara kid is here, as well as the boy with hair that oddly resembles the ass of a duck who demanded I get out of his seat. I see a familiar orange haired metal mouth. Nagato, didn't know he was here too. He's probably in this class to know how to avoid the law better. "Pein's here too?" I whisper still looking ahead. "He's a 3rd year this year. This is a mixed class which is why I'm here too," Neji whispers back. There seems to be more upperclassmen in here.

I actually pay attention in class due to my fascination with law. He lectured the whole class period so we didn't have any assignments. The bell rings and I gather my things as walk out of class with Neji, "What's your next class?" he asks. "Gym, Hinata said I'll be having a hell of a time," I deadpan and he agrees with a nod. We meet up with Hinata and go to the dressing rooms to change. Instead of changing in the open area of the girl's dressing room, I duck into a bathroom and change. I throw on my black crew neck and gray basketball shorts and tennis shoes. I step out of the bathroom and put up my uniform. They gave us a selection of gym clothes too. By selection I mean booty shorts or basketball shorts. I put my shoes in a small shoe locker with my last name on it and put my clothes in a secluded corner away from everyone. Afterwards, I go into the gym where the girls and boys are lined up on opposite walls. I notice most of the girls wearing booty shorts. I look down at my shorts and shrug. A tall man with a bowl cut strides into the gym with a red rubber ball under his arm and a whistle around his neck, "Alright youths today we are going to play kickball!"

"At least it's not dodge ball," I hear from numerous sources. "But! It is California kickball, meaning you have to go around the bases twice, there can be as many players on one base as you can fit, and you don't have to run every time," he explained. "Now who wants to be a captain?" he asks. Hands shoot up all over. His eyes scan over the crowd, "Okay let's have Uchiha and Yamanaka," he points to a blonde girl and the guy who's hair looks like a duck ass. They started picking people one by one.

More and more people drift to the two sides of the team. Soon there where only two people left to choose from. Me and Hinata. Yamanaka picks Hinata and Uchiha is stuck with me. I roll my eyes and stand by the Nara kid who is on the same team as me. "Uchiha, what color?" coach asks. "Red," he says. He points to a pile of red jerseys. "Yamanaka?" "Purple," and her team puts on the purple jerseys over their gym shirt. "Rock paper scissors over who pitches first," the two captains battle to the death via rock paper scissors. We kicked first.We line up in the order we are picked to bat with the captain going first. I zone out until we switch sides. I go out field for this time. I keep my eyes focused on any fly balls but none come my way. I groan mentally.

Time Skip

The other team is leading 24 to 23, we are outfield and the next inning will be the last. There is one out and Haruno is the kicker. Nara told me one kid took a ball she kicked to the stomach and was in the hospital for three days. I shiver mentally. Sasuke pitches and she kicks. The ball hits the ceiling above where I am standing. I shoot up my hands and catch the ball. When I catch it, I immediately throw it to third base getting Hinata out.

Third POV

Both teams look around the gym trying to make reason of what just happened. It just happened so fast that you could barely see the red ball darting through the air. Kuro smirk to myself as she gets herself pumped as she gets fourth in line to kick. Nara, Uchiha, and another kid stand before her, each of them not getting out. Uchiha gets ready to go from third to base to first due to the style of kick ball. Kuro stands more off to the side when Yamanaka pitches. She curves my approach and nail the ball with my foot. She curves it into a wall so it would bounce all over the room, giving us a chance to run the bases. Kuro dashes for first the second the third and first again. When they get the ball to the pitcher, ceasing the running, Uchiha was on third base for the second time along with Nara. The anticipation was eating at her. Two kids strike out leaving us at our current bases. The last kid up to bat is a boy with blonde hair. He kicks the ball with a lot of power as it sends it a few meters over her head. The out fielders attention was in her direction and not Nara's. I run from first when I hear our team shouting. The sudden uproar startles me as I run. I feel my feet plant but my legs twisting and trying to run away. I feel the sharp twist and trip over my feet on accident. While trying to get up, they get the ball to second base. Her teammates cheer for Uchiha and Nara, completely forgetting about her. She shrugs and tries to stand up.

"Do you need any help?" Hinata asks. "If you could help me up that would be a huge favor," she says. Hinata pulls her up by the arm. "Alright kids, go get dressed and wait until the bell rings," a boisterous voice calls out. Kuro ignores the throbbing pain in her ankle and keeps walking. She forces herself to walk on her twisted ankle but still as a small limp. She gets her clothes and changes in the bathroom. She slides off her gym shoes and exchanges them for her shoes in the locker. "Kuro, your ankle looks bad, we need to get you to the nurse," a meek voices say to her as she puts on shoes, "I'll be fine. Just a little painful," Kuro shrugs while Hinata stares at the purple swollen ankle. She hears the bell ring and walks to her next class, History. She recognizes the name of the teacher and smirks.

Kuro's POV

I walk without a limp all the way to my history class. I smirk as I enter the door and see a spiky haired man, "Hey girlie," he says as he looks at papers. "I had a feeling I would run into you eventually," I say. "Your seat is back row middle column by the way, I made sure you would be around someone you know, Kiba," he said as I take my seat. He doesn't have me introduce myself because he knows I won't to.

When the bell rings Kiba, Kakashi and I linger in the classroom," Are you heading straight to hq?" Kakashi asks us. We nod our heads, "'Kay I am too," he says as he picks up a pile of papers. We leave the school and go to a secluded warehouse building. I knock five times rythmically and say "leaves". The door swings open and the seemingly abandon warehouse is buzzing with people.
