A Ninja's Guide To Love

The Beginning

His big blue eyes. Blonde hair, and marvelous voice. His determination and stance. What more could I want? What more do I need...he is...perfect.

"Rīgan! What are the signs for the clone jutsu? You seemed to have been paying attention so why don't you enlighten us?" Iruka Sensei said, looking at me with a glare.

"Uh," I stuttered desperately trying to avoid the question. "I don't know, Iruka Sensei."
Ino then raised her hand. Iruka Sensei shifted his glare off me to her. His eyes lightened.
"Ino! Why don't you tell us since you take interest into this class," he said quickly glancing to me. I slumped in my chair and covered my face with me hoodie.

Could this day get any more miserable? I then felt a tap on my shoulder. Surprised I jerked around and froze when I saw the exact pair of beautiful blue eyes in my daydream locked with my eyes.

He smiled brightly. His happiness was almost contagious. A slight smirk came to my face.
My face went red as he leaned in closer. It was the second semester and I still couldn't contain myself around him. We hadn't really talked all year. But, I had definitely been paying close attention to him.

His smile grew wider, and my face grew even more red.
"Hi! My name's Naruto Uzamaki! Remember that because I'm gonna become hokage and surpass every other hokage!" Snickers floated around the room. Naruto turned around.
"Oh, shut up!" he said barely holding on to a straight voice.
"Like you'll ever become Hokage," said Sakura. She was Naruto's crush, (for reasons I will never understand) sometimes I just want to beat her to a pulp. All she's ever been to Naruto is mean. Yet, somehow, he looks past that...

"Hi, I'm Rīgan! You better remember that because I'm going to be the biggest supporter and the assistant of future Hokage Naruto Uzamaki!" His smile brightned. Mine did, too. Every one looked at me in shock. Whispers went around the room.

"Who would support a loser like him?"
"How could she ever think he'll become Hokage?"
"The poor thing."

We both ignored the remarks and stared into each other's eyes. Smiling. I don't think I've ever seen or had a smile that had so much meaning and power to it.
"All right class settle down!" Iruka Sensei shouted. The voices stopped and every one fell silent. Naruto sat back down and I turned around. We listened to Sensei's speech with the occasional glance and smile towards each other. Each time we blushed.

Right there in that moment I felt like my life had been laid out for me. Like a plan or story pre-written. I knew that this was the boy I was meant to be with.
