A constant, gentle nudge in your side woke you from your slumber. You opened your eyes to see that a faint glow of sunlight peeked through the dark curtains.
"Get up, (y/n)." A smooth voice commanded as a hand tugged on your arm.
"Okay, okay..." You mumbled sitting up, then stretching with a yawn.
Itachi watched your slow, lazy movements with a bit of amusement. "You're moving too slow. Your aunt left for work about five minutes ago."
This surely got your attention. You literally fell out of the bed, reaching for your clothes, and made your way to his window.
"Everyone left over ten minutes ago. You can use the front door this time." He folded his arms across his chest.
Your face scrunched up into a scowl. "Shut up."
He only nodded and left the room, leaving the door wide open.
"Itachi!" You whispered urgently.
"There's no one here but us! Get dressed!" He shouted back. You sighed and tugged back on your panties. 'At least it was worth it...'
~---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~
Luckily Itachi used an alarm clock to get up or else you both would have been late for school. You ran home to shower and change for school then left. You made it there with five minutes to spare, allowing you time to go to your locker.
"(Y/n)!"
You spun around to find Kohana nearly sprinting towards you, her brown eyes focused on you as her long red auburn hair swished behind her. Students stepped out of her way as she moved, parting the crowd for her. When she reached you, a curious look arrested her expression.
"You and I need to talk. Now." She grabbed your wrist and all but dragged you to the nearest bathroom. There were a few girls inside, gathered at the mirror. Kohana never cared much about rules so she didn't find anything wrong with asking the girls to leave.
"Excuse me?" A blonde blinked several times. "The last time I checked these bathrooms are public, not private."
"We can debate about private and public bathrooms later. Just get out." Kohana pointed to the door irritably. Their "debate" continued.
Kohana had been a good friend to you since she first came to Konoha High nearly a year ago. Of course back then you had tons of friends and was way more sociable. You didn't spend a lot of time with her outside of school but nonetheless she had always been by your side. You were in Kurenai's history class when you were called to the office. Kohana snuck out of her own class to go with you, thinking you were in trouble for the prank she had pulled on Kakashi (pouring glue into his desk drawer). Instead, Tsunade told you that your parents were in hospital after being hit by a mini-van. Despite being told to return to class, Kohana refused. While you cried, scared for your parents, she called her mother and the woman (whom you never met) rushed you both to the hospital. They both stayed with you during those long fifteen hours...and held you when you found out that you were an orphan.
Kohana and her mother were the only ones there to attend the funeral as friends, your other friends blaming their parents and tests for not being able to attend. They sat beside you and wiped away your never ending tears. When your aunt volunteered to take you in, Kohana's mother realized that she lived down the street from them and extended the invitation for you to come by whenever you wanted to. When you refused to go to school for the rest of the week, Kohana camped out in your room for the first day, sitting on the floor hugging her knees while you stared at the wall and cried. Her mother had to drag her to school the next day but in the end Kakashi convinced her to go for you since you had pretty much all of the same classes.
Losing your parents made you change so drastically that your grades dropped from A's to C's, you stopped making an effort to go hang out with your friends, resulting in them abandoning you because you were becoming too "emo." Of course, none of this meant shit to you...but Kohana was still there. She viewed you as her little sister despite you two being the same age and made a promise to herself to protect you from those who didn't understand. She'd gotten a few detentions from having all out verbal wars in the classroom after hearing someone like Ino whispering about you. She even once got into a fight with a boy who "purposely" bumped into you in the hallway, knocking you over. For this she was only rewarded a one-day suspension, but the other kids learned that although Kohana was a playful person...there was one thing she didn't play around with. You.
You watched as the argument continued. Although she was only 5'4", she was intimidating to the other students simply because she didn't care. Of course she followed the rules...only when they were deemed to be in her favor. Shikamaru once stated that she was one of the more menacing types to avoid because she wasn't scared of the potential consequences of her actions. Then Kakashi stated that she would make one hell of a ninja.
She had been the first to get you to smile nearly a month after the funeral, calling Sakura a "bubblegum bobblehead" to her face after being caught fawning over Sasuke in gym. No...no one could ever replace your parents...but Kohana certainly filled the void, becoming a sister to you.
The girls filed out of the bathroom shooting dirty looks at the both of you but Kohana ignored them. Kohana was viewed as a "troublemaker" to certain teachers like Gai and Ebisu but to others like Kakashi, they saw a "cry for help." Her father abandoned her mother when pregnant with Kohana, leaving her to raise the hyper rambunctious little "heathen" all alone. Of all the teachers, Kakashi favored Kohana the most, partly because she was an excellent student when she applied herself, but mostly because she encourage you to live life.
Kohana looked at you. "Where were you exactly last night?"
You just stared at her, wondering how to answer.
"I looked at my caller ID this morning just to see if you really did call me last night, right? I didn't see your number...but I saw 'Itachi Uchiha'." With this she leaned back on the wall with her back to the window.
"Kohana," You sighed, "Class will start soon--"
She waved two yellow slips. "I have excuses."
Your face flushed. 'Damn her and her ability to get that stuff.' "Um..."
"I know it's none of my business...but this is very interesting." She started to pace slowly towards you. "I once had to work on a science project with Sasuke. The project was so complicated that it required us to call each other. When he called," she stopped and leaned towards you, "it would say 'Fugaku Uchiha'." She pulled away and paced back to the window. "So I can't help but wonder why Itachi's personal home phone number that not even Sasuke has would pop up on my caller ID around three in the morning...around the time you called."
Your throat became dry.
"(Y/n), what were you doing over his house last night?" She folded her arms and looked down at the floor between you. Her expression was soft, eyes sad. How could you forget that she had a crush on him?....Oh, that's right...You were often blinded by your own crush on him.
Words failed you. If you told her the truth, it would crush her and could possibly ruin your friendship. However, lying would only require another lie...in the end the truth would be best...but you didn't want to hurt her. "Ko--"
She cut you off with a glare. "You always call me 'Cookie'...you must be guilty."
You closed your mouth and let your head hang.
She watched you, heart slightly breaking, as she imagined what happened. The bell rang yet neither of you moved. Finally she lifted off of the wall and walked past you, stopping a few steps behind you with her back to you. "...I guess I can forgive you for raping our crush."
You gasped and looked back to see her looking over her shoulder, smiling broadly. "It wasn't rape, Cookie."
She closed her eyes and pointed to her face, still smiling. "I'm not stupid. It was rape. Come on. Itachi? Sex? For the longest we believed he was gay or asexual....I just wish I would have thought of it sooner."
You couldn't stop the giggle. "Noooo...not gay or asexual."
Her eyes widened. "And I take it not a virgin either?"
You shook your head. "He took my bra off faster than I can get it on."
Ko's eyes popped open and her jaw dropped.
"And...he was pretty good...more like...great." You muttered remembering his skin moving against your own and sending chills up your spine.
Kohana sighed and put an arm around your shoulder guiding you out of the bathroom. "Then that leaves me to find a new crush..."
"I'm sorry." You whispered.
"Don't be. King Emo has made his choice. I'd rather it be you than someone like...the bubblegum and lemon bobbleheads."
You started cracking up. "Cookie...their birth names are Sakura and Ino."
"Huh?" She looked at you. "Oh!...Right." She rolled her eyes and kept walking. "Pink Airhead and Malibu Barbie. Gotcha."
"KO!!!!!"
"Whaaaaaat?!"
~---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~
Since every student except seniors took a total of eight classes total, the concept of a block schedule was created. You only went to four classes a day, divided into A and B Day schedules. The classes were numbered with that day's letter in front. The "K" (Kohana) and "I" (Itachi) stand for whom is in the class with you.
Your A-Day schedule looked like this:
A1--Science--Kakashi (K, I)
A2--History--Kurenai
-------B Lunch (in the middle of A2, you go to class for about thirty minutes, go to lunch, then come back to class--Kohana has this lunch with you since she's on the same hall)
A3--Math--Gai (I)
A4--English and Composition--Ebisu (K)
Your B-Day schedule looked like this:
B1--Computer Graphics--Asuma (K)
B2--Gym--Iruka (K)
B3--Art--Anko (I--ha! Imagine Itachi in an art class! lol)
-------D Lunch (you have to endure all of art then you go to lunch, longest class in your entire schedule [>_> more time to stare at Itachi!], also Kohana has this lunch with you)
B4--Home Economics--Shizune (K, I)
It was a B-Day so your first class was Computer Graphics with Asuma. All of your teachers taught at Konoha High during the day (7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) and military school in the evenings (basically ninja school, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.).
Kohana walked beside you chattering excitedly about your "raping King Emo". In class, you had to design a book cover to represent your life so far and what you expect your future to be using Photoshop. Had Kohana not been watching you like a hawk ready to attack, your cover would have been all black. With a few (hundred) complaints from her, you finally created a nice cover in which there was a girl in the darkness heading towards a door where there was light coming through it and people waiting on the other side waiting for her. You thought hard and came up with the title "Finding My Way."
Kohana spent the entire class period surfing the internet and at the very last minute slapped together a compilation of unedited pictures of people fighting with a female superhero in front. The title was "Misunderstood". Of course this earned her a D but your work was awarded a B-.
"B-?" You stared.
"It's perfect..." Asuma looked at you, "...except it doesn't suggest what you expect your future to be like."
"Oh." Your shoulders slumped and you left.
"Wow. I got a D." Kohana walked slowly. Your next class was gym and Iruka never really cared about tardies.
"What did you expect to get?" You looked at her out of the corner of your eye.
"A F!" She smiled widely. "I can make up a D."
You both continued your idle chitchat while changing into your gym clothes and doing warm-up exercises with the rest of the class. Ko's eyes wandered over to Sasuke every so often since he was leading the exercises and she would smirk and continue following his instructions. Finally he was done and everyone began talking loudly with their friends. A loud annoying whistle blew and everyone looked up.
"Okay, quiet down!" Iruka shouted. "Everyone outside. You're going to run two full laps around the training field then walk three. Every lap you run gets you fifty points. Two is needed for 100. Extra laps is extra credit and will help bring up your grade. Go!"
He blew his stupid whistle again and everyone moved.
Kohana muttered obscenities. "So I have to run two laps to pass? He's so evil. It used to be run four for 100 points."
You looked at her. "But then you'd have to run three laps for a passing grade. This way you get it done quicker."
She nodded. "Yeah but--"
"And you get a perfect score and a chance at extra credit."
She looked at you and frowned. "Why can't you just let me complain in peace?!?"
You laughed. "Because then I wouldn't be a good friend."
She mimicked you and then stuck out her tongue. "You suck. You know that right?"
"But you taught me how." You retorted and took off running.
She stood there for a minute to process what you said then took off after you. "YOU COME BACK HERE DAMMIT!!!!"
She chased you the first lap and a half (only because you kept taunting her) and finished that last half together.
"Keep walking ladies." Iruka called out and Kohana opened her mouth to say something but you quickly covered it with your hand and pulled her along.
"You don't need to say something every time someone says something." You mumbled. She stopped struggling for a moment then licked your hand. "EW!"
"And the next time you'll think twice about putting your hand over my mouth." She laughed and dodged you as you tried to wipe her spit back on her. Something caught her eye back over by the school building and she stopped, causing you to run smack into her and both of you falling to the ground.
"Ya know, (y/n), I love you like a sister...but this is too close..." She tried to to shake you off of her. You stood and helped her up. "Is that your boyfriend?"
You looked in the direction that she was looking and sure enough Itachi was leaning against the building, talking on his cell phone. Instinct told you to keep going, to stay away from him, but before you could make a decision, Kohana had already taken off in his direction.
"Kohana." You muttered and followed her.
~---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~
Itachi looked up to see two girls coming towards him, both wearing white shirts and red gym shorts. "I have to go. My fan club is coming."
"Your what?" The male voice inquired.
"Bye." He mumbled before shutting the phone and shoving it into his pockets along with his hands.
"Fan club?" Kohana repeated, not sounding too thrilled about the name. "You have us confused with the bobblehead twins."
Itachi bit his lip to keep from smiling. "That's not a nice name to give someone."
"Since when did you care about nice names?"
He nodded. "I'm sorry. You're right. I've never cared. What do you want?"
You yanked Kohana back to you. "Can we just go?"
Kohana looked at you strangely. "What? And miss the opportunity of a lifetime???"
Itachi tilted his head to the side...slightly. "What opportunity?"
Kohana donned a mischievous grin and leaned against the building beside him. "So....what did you and (y/n) do last night? Hmmmm?"
Itachi narrowed his eyes out of pure annoyance and glared at you. You felt your throat go dry and took a step back. "You told--"
"She didn't tell me anything. Any genius could figure it out." She mocked him and pulled out her cell phone. "She called me last night from your home number. So blame yourself if you didn't want anyone to know."
Itachi bit the inside of his cheek while effectively making his face blank of emotions. "I hate you."
Kohana sighed mockingly and looked at him with fake adoration and love. "Oh weasel! I've always dreamed of hearing you say that!"
Itachi closed his eyes and sighed. "Can you please leave so that (y/n) and I can have some privacy?"
The sharpness of his request caught her off guard and seemed to actually hurt her. "What?"
"Can...you...leave?" He said slowly. She looked at you and after a few seconds you nodded.
"I'll catch up with you in a minute." You said reassuringly.
"Or not." Itachi took his hand out of his pocket and grabbed your shirt sleeve, pulling you along behind him. You looked back at Kohana who stood there for a few seconds then slowly turned away and went back to join the class.
