'Everyone was looking at me with disgust. They were muttering bad things about me. They've always looked down on me. They turned away...and disappeared. I was left alone to suffer loneliness, just because I was not from their world.'
I woke up drenched in my own sweat.
I could have either sweat too much or cried too much.
Either of the two, I don't really care. As long as no one saw me in that situation, I'm fine.
I checked if Naruto was still awake.
Fortunately, he wasn't.
I got up, took a shower, changed, and had breakfast.
I checked on him again...he was still asleep. And snoring too. Not to mention drooling...yuck!
The sun is practically above his face.
He is such a heavy sleeper. Moves too much in his sleep also.
I looked out the balcony seeing almost the whole of Konoha.
I went outside and took a good look at where the apartment is.
I don't want to forget where it is and get lost.
I just took about five slow steps when someone called, "Karetsu-san!"
It was him for sure.
No one else new my name besides him, the Hokage and Tsunade.
"Oi, Karetsu-san!" He yelled at me.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I'm just strolling around. Familiarizing myself to Konoha, you know," I explained.
"Oh... Well then, let me be the one to show you around!" He announced.
Yup. He's as stupid as ever.
But I said yes, anyway, as if anyone will just appear in front of me who will be willing to show me around this place...er...village...er...Konoha.
*poof!
"Wha-!" I suddenly exclaimed. Then I took a couple of clumsy steps back.
"Oh sorry! Hey-!" The guy who poofed in front of me said but was cut off by Naruto.
"WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!" Naruto exclaimed, looking annoyed.
"Again, sorry," he apologized.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Iruka, I will be your teacher or instructor at the Academy," he introduced.
"I'm-," I was about to say but was cut off when he raised a hand to stop me from speaking.
"You're Ayame Karetsu," he said while looking at me.
"And you're Naruto Uzumaki," he also said as he averted his gaze to Naruto.
"I sure am!" Naruto announced.
He is such a major loser.
Just then, I thought I saw Iruka's brow twitch...twice.
"Well, see you both in the Academy in two weeks!" And with that he teleported or in other words poofed, away.
"Man, that poofing thing is sooo awesome! I can't wait to go to the Academy! Don't you think so too, Karetsu-san?" Naruto exclaimed.
"First of all, I think it's called a Teleportation Technique. Second, me too! Third, you can call me by my first name, after all, we are friends now aren't we?" I told him.
