Katashi

I felt an icy chill throughout my body causing me to wake up. The window was open and of course my blanket was on the floor. It was dark out and I had no idea what time it was.

I didn't want to get up, I was still so tried from the other day, I didn't even want to reach over and get my blanket no matter how cold it was.

A gust of wind from outside hit me, it was so cold it stung and It forced me to get up from my comfortable spot. I looked in my mirror to see the left side of my hair was matted and stuck
to my face, I quickly brushed it with my fingers to calm it back down.

I slipped on my shoes and went to walk out of my room and in the process my shoulder hit the doorway.  A noise was muffled under my breath.

Before I was about to walk through the door, I remembered to wrap my wrist with bandages, it probably be best if I just told people it's an injury or something.

I left my apartment locking the door behind me.  As I walked down the stone steps kakashi's words replayed in my head. Go see the hokage tomarrow to join. I do wonder what the academy will be like.

I see light starting to spew from behind the mountain with the faces on it. Geez, I woke up early. Might as well go see the hokage, it's not like I have anything else to do..

I knock on the Hokages office door and wait. I hear a come in and enter the room. I see Him sitting at a desk looking through files. "Yes Katashi?" He says a little grumpy.

"Kakashi told me to come and see you about the ninja academy." I said more like a question than a statement.

"Oh right." He says writing something down then stuffing it in an envelope."Go to the academy, go to the eighth grade class and give this to Iruka, I trust you mind your business." He hands me the envelope. I guess he wrote something in the note he doesn't want me to know...mysterious.

"Yes sir."  When I leave the building I stop.  Wait where is the academy? After a half an hour of searching I finally find it.  When I enter the main door I'm greeted by a dark haired woman sitting behind a desk.

"I'm a new student, I'm looking for the eighth grade class." I say unsurely. She looks up at me with a smile. "Just down that hall, it's the door on the right." She says then looks back down at her desk.

I open the door slowly, I see a man standing in front of the room and the students are sitting at table desks that rises higher to the back of the room. I walk up to the man that I'm guessing is the teacher.

"Are you Iruka?" I ask, he looked a bit surprised at first then answered me. "Yes, what do you need?"

"The hokage wanted me to give you this." I say handing him the envelope. I watch as he opens and reads it, he looks back at me. "Well, go ahead and find a seat, you were just in time for our combat lesson." Iruka tells me.

I look at other students, some still looking at me. I find a table to the left side of the room that's vacant. When I sit down, I notice that over the years people have carved their names in it.

"Alright class, we have a new student." Iruka announces. I layout my arms in front of me on the desk and rest my chin on them.
