Beautiful Nightmare (a Naruto fanfiction)--ON HOLD

Chapter 7

REIKO’S POV

I woke up early and made breakfast but this time, I didn’t bother to try and wake Kakashi up. I was still bothered by what happened last night. I went out but figured it was too early to go to school. I didn’t want to stay in the house since I don’t want to take the risk of seeing Kakashi though he never wakes up early. I still probably has about two hour so I decided to go to the training grounds. When I finally got there, I started training for a bit but I was interrupted by someone. I turned to look and when our eyes met, his eyes widened for a bit.

“Sorry, did I interrupt you?” he asked.

“It’s okay.” I said. The guy seemed nice and polite but I sense something was off about him.

“I didn’t know there was another survivor in the Uchiha clan murder in Konoha.” He said and I tensed, I didn’t want any stranger to know who I really am.

“I’m Kabuto, you are?” he asked and I just wanted to get away from him.

“I’m gonna be late, sorry I have to go now.” I said and ran away with no idea where I was headed to.

SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST

I panted as I came to a stop.

“What are you doing here?” someone asked and I froze fearing that the guy had followed me but when I turned and saw that it wasn’t him, I released a sigh of relief and the guy looked at me curiously.

“Sorry, I was just running away from a creepy guy. Do you mind telling me the way to the academy? I don’t want to be late for school.” I said politely. This guy is just about around my age if not older. He has the Konoha forehead protector so he must be a ninja of the village.

“Creepy guy?” he asked.

“Oh, um he’s just some stranger.” I answered and he nodded.

“I’m Neji Hyuuga. I’m not too sure if you can make it in the academy if I told you directions since we’re in the middle of the forest but I can help you get there if you don’t mind.” He said and I blushed a bit. I don’t know why but he reminded me a bit of Seiichi nii-san.

“I’m Reiko Uchiha. Is it okay? I don’t want to impose.” I said and he smiled a bit.

“It’s okay, I was about to take a break from training anyway.” He said and we started making our way to the academy.

“So, what did this creepy guy did that made you run away?” he asked as we were walking.

“Well um….” I started but was interrupted by someone’s shouting.

“Neji!” the voice said and another guy about my age suddenly appeared.

“Fight me!” he challenged Neji.

“Not now Lee, I’m busy.” He said and this Lee person finally noticed me and looked at me intently.

“You got a girl friend! Since when??” he frantically asked and I blushed at what he said. Neji looked at me for a moment.

“She’s not my girl friend. I was helping her get to the academy, but you’re interrupting us.” He said calmly. When he said this, Lee perked up and stood in front of me, holding my hand.

“Hi, my name’s Rock Lee but you can just call me Lee. Are you really not Neji’s girl friend?” he asked. I blushed a bit and shook my head.

“Really? In that case, would you mind going out with me then? I’ll take care of you really well!” he said then made a thumbs up pose that was really disturbing.
