Kunoichi of Light - A Naruto Story -

Chapter 3 - The Academy

Yo guys Firestorm40 here with a new chapter of the 'Kunoichi of Light.' I will try to update this story as much as I can, since most of you enjoy it. So without further ado, Enjoy!

---------------------

Ayame woke up and the next day and yawned softly and rubbed her eyes.  "Man, I can't remember the last time I slept that well." She said to herself. Still half asleep, she got up out of her bed and looked out the window at the beautiful sky and the sounds of early birds. "I hope I'll get to make some friends here..."

She then walked towards the bathroom. After taking a quick shower, She put on her a yellow shirt with a black tank top, black shorts underneath a orange skirt with a purple belt, and blue ninja boots. She also put on a black choker, a purple wristband as well as a purple arm band on her left arm and a white wrist warmer on her right arm. After that, she tied her hair into pigtails, held by red ribbons.

Once Ayame was done, she looked at herself in the mirror and fiddled with her necklaces.  With a small smile, she said, "I know you're watching over me, Mom, Dad, Grandmother Maki. Wherever you are big brother, I hope I'll get to see you again." Then, she went towards the kitchen and had a bit of breakfast before running outside and locking the door. She then began to look around  as she walked towards the academy. 

Ayame began to hum happily as she walked down the empty, dusty streets looking at all the buildings she passed by. She the felt like she had gotten lost a few times, but a quick jump to the roof where she could see the Hokage tower was a helpful reference point. She looked up at the at the Hokage Monument and smiled at it, until she noticed something different.

'Wait. . . why is the Third Hokage's nose and eyes running?' Ayame squinted to get a better look at the rock, then she spotted an orange dot leaping around the faces. 'Oh, so they're not supposed to look like that after all.'

She then remembered that she had to be at the academy at a certain time. "Now, where was it again?" She ran all the way back to the tower to restart her route. 'Let's see, if I remember correctly, I go this way then that. . . I think that's right.' She started putting one foot in front of the other and made a few twists and turns trying to find her way to the academy. ''This is crazy! I can't be late on my first day!" Running around the streets, now in a desperate attempt to find her destination, she spotted the orange dot again running passed alley ways and it was being chased by a group of shinobi. "Wait, is that a boy carrying paint buckets? Oh, I get it, he's playing a prank by painting the rock faces." Ayame let out a slight laugh. "Maybe he goes go to the academy too, maybe I should- no, he's going to be late at this rate and that's what I'm trying not to be." The girl continued her search for the building as the sun continued to rise higher.

The girl sweat dropped when she finally saw the single swing and the large academy sign. 'I probably circled this block dozens of times. I hope I'm not too late. I haven't been out long, so I could be earlier than I thought.' The girl ran into the building and was meet by the secretary.

"Hi, I'm Ayame Hikari. I'm supposed to be transferring to the academy today," she said with a smile.

"Oh, yes. Lord Hokage informed me about you. Here are your papers and give this one to your sensei." The lady at the desk said with a soft smile. "Now hurry up, you don't want to be later than you already are."

"Right! Thank you." Ayame ran down the hall and read the class room number on the paper she was given. "Here it is." she spotted the matching number above one of the doors. The blue haired princess slid the door open and peered inside to see the boy from eariler all tied up on the floor in front of her with the rest of the class snickering as the sensei scolded him before undoing the ropes. Ayame then knocked on the door, getting the everyone's attention. The whole class became quiet  the moment Ayame stepped inside the room all of them turned their heads towards her, causing her to nervously rub her head.
