I Am Not Just Your Little Puppet {A Kankuro Love Story}

{Chapter 7} I Am Not Just Your Little Puppet

*Flashback*

“Hey, he’s kinda cute, eh Adira?” You nodded your head over to a black haired boy who was walking by. There were a bunch of girls gawking at him and squealing as he walked by. You and Adira were sitting on a desk at the back of the academy. Today was the day after the graduation test and you were going to have your teams announced. Adira and you had thought something up, because there were quite a few boys who were looking at you both. You had decided to make a game out of it. Adira wasn’t too thrilled about it. She didn’t really care about boys, but she had fun thinking up the game with you. You and Adira hadn’t actually graduated with these students, but were getting your team here because you got kicked out of the Grass Village’s ninja program.

“Time to play.” Adira smirked and looked at you. She had picked your target and you snickered. “Go get him.” Sure the game sounds hostile and not very nice for people to be a part of, but it didn’t hurt anybody, really...

“Hey, I’m Shizuri Zama. What’s your name?” You sat cross legged on the desk in front of the black haired kid. He kind of jumped back a little.

“H-how did you get there so fast!?” His eyes were wide. You smiled with rainbow eyes and chuckled.

“Oh, I’m just talented I guess.” You opened your eyes slightly and smirked. The boy blushed slightly along with a couple boys that were sitting around him.

“Umm... I’m Sasuke Uchiha...” He stated then crossed his arms, putting up his guard again.

“From the Uchiha clan huh?” You leaned your chin on the back of your hand and rested your elbow on your knee. “Well that’s impressive.” You smiled as he shifted his weight, looking away.

“What the hell!? Who’s the new girl hitting on Sasuke!?” You heard a girl yell from your left. You flopped your head to the side, leaning back on your arms and glanced boredly through your eyelashes. You saw a bunch of girls standing at the end of the desk.

“Ugh... How annoying...” You muttered, closing your eyes.

“Hey! You weren’t even in our class or at the graduation test! You’re not supposed to be here!” One girl yelled and they all started agreeing.

“You’re gonna get it for hitting on Sasuke!” Another one said and charged at you with hr fist in front of her. Without bothering to open your eyes, you caught the girl’s fist. She gasped along with a bunch of other people in the room. Everyone was silent as you sat there.

“First of all, my sister and I were kicked out of the ninja program in the grass village. So now we transferred.” You started. You could hear Adira snicker in the silence. “And second of all... I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” Your eyes shot open and you stared at the girl. She clenched her teeth and flung her other fist towards your face. You raised your eyebrow and flicked the girl’s fist as it came at you. Her fist flew up and she lost her balance. You took advantage of that and swept your feet towards her, holding yourself up with your hands. Your foot made contact with her chest as she flew back into the rest of the girls. Everybody in the room stared at you in amazement as you let yourself land gracefully on the ground. You smiled again with rainbow eyes.

“I told you. I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” Some people started whispering which led to full conversations, and eventually the girls all took a seat. When everything seemed to be normal again, you turned back to Sasuke. “Sorry about that. Some people can just be a pain. I think I can talk to anybody I want.” You smiled softly. “If that’s alright with you that is.” You winked at him and he smirked.

“Fine by me.”

“Alright class! Everybody take a seat. I’m going to announce your teams.” You glanced to the front of the room and saw the teacher. He had a ponytail and a scar across his nose, and was pretty cute. Adira appeared beside you and Sasuke stared at both of you. Everybody had taken a seat except for you and your twin sister. “Oh, um, hello. I take it you two are the new student... er... ninja.” The teacher stared up at you both.
