Dedication: Five Tailed Demon Dog
Teacher Of Mine
A young boy was dressed in a black sleeveless tight fitting turtle neck shirt with a white cloth like armor that buckled like overalls on top of the black shirt, baggy black pants with a kunai holster strapped to his upper right thigh held by athletic tape, black ninja sandals that were also strapped with black athletic tape from the ankle just to mid calf where the shoe stopped, black cloth gloves that passed his elbows and stopped just mid arm, they too held athletic tape around the upper part but only an inch or so wide, around his fore arms were arm guards, on his back was a sword.
He walked down the streets of Konoha, a scowl set on his beautiful face. Hi black eyes were cold and his long back hair was pulled into a pony tail. He sighed and brushed his bangs from his face as he made his way over to the Konoha Ninja academy. He couldn't believe his father and the Hokage were making him do this. He was ANBU captain at the age of thirteen. He shouldn't have to do simple work such as teaching. That was for retired jounin and chuunin, two things he definitely was not.
He continued to make his way to where he would begin to teach a class all they needed to know to become Genin. He stared at the ninja academy, somewhere he hadn't even walked by in years. A wave of nostalgia hit him and he shook it off. He was going to do this so that the Hokage and his Father would leave him alone. He walked through the gates where he saw some of the younger children playing, his younger brother, Sasuke, among them.
He past them, the children too wrapped up in their games to do much. He only stopped when he saw a young girl a year younger than himself most likely. She was sitting down on a swing with a young boy most likely Sasuke's age. She swung the swing lightly as she talked to the small blonde headed boy. Said blonde was scowling and she tried her best to cheer the child up. It seemed she gave up when she stopped talking after a few seconds.
He was wrong because the blonde was then laughing when the girl began to tickle him mercilessly. He stared at her, taking in her profile. She had mid back length raven black hair with a dark blue tint to it, porcelain skin that seemed to be too delicate to be in the sun. She wore a black skirt that came down to her ankles with slits in the sides up to the waist line. Under the skirt she wore black shorts. She also wore a deep purple top that dropped off of her shoulders. It was long sleeved and it covered her hands completely. She also wore a black choker that was nothing more than a silk ribbon and a black hoodie around her waist.
She looked up as though sensing his stare and he caught the color of her eyes. They were a beautiful shade of blue. It was a dark color of the sky just fading into night. Those eyes narrowed at him as she pulled the boy she was holding closer.
"Itachi Uchiha?" a man asked. The boy, identified now as Itachi, turned to the man. "Allow me to lead you to the classroom you will be teaching at."
Itachi nodded and followed the man inside the school building. He was lead to a classroom that had desks that sat three on a staircase styled room. Each desk was placed higher than the last only a step higher. Each row held three desks and there were four rows. Three times four was twelve and twelve times three meant a lot of students. Itachi sighed once more and sat at the desk, looking over the curriculum that was set out for him.
"Kunai training and tactics, hm?" he asked himself. After thirty minutes or so the bell rang and children began to file in chattering happily. When they saw him, however, they silenced immediately. "You know where to sit now get there and stop gaping like fish." he demanded coldly. Several children 'eeped' and ran to their seats as quickly as they could. They sat in silence, waiting for their new teacher to do something.
The final bell rang seven minutes later and Itachi stood from his desk. He was tall for his age, at least a head taller than these twelve year olds and he was only thirteen. He went to the board and wrote his name on the board, his occupation, and his age. There were gasps as they read this.
"As you have read, I am Itachi Uchiha, ANBU Black Ops Captain, and I am thirteen years old. I assure you that I'm your teacher. Your previous teacher just gave a birth over the weekend and will not be returning. We are currently low on teachers so they sought me out because I was close to your age." he told them. Several girls stared at him with awe while most guys stared in jealousy. "Now let's take role-"
The door opened and the girl he saw from earlier walked into the classroom. Her eyes fell upon him and she perked a brow in question. He stared at her and saw a bruise forming on her cheek, blood leaking from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were cold now and not the warm ones he saw directed at that blonde. Her sleeves were pulled back slightly and he saw her bloody knuckles. She covered them and walked over to the trash can and spat out blood and wiped her mouth a tissue and then threw that away.
"And you are?" Itachi asked.
"You first." the girl said coldly. Itachi narrowed his black eyes at her.
"I am your teacher." he growled at her, not use to such disrespect.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi."
"Ms. Higurashi, do you need to see the nurse?" he asked, vaguely wondering how she got such wounds. They weren't on her when he observed her earlier. "Have you been fighting?"
"So what if I have?" she demanded, her own eyes narrowed.
"I would have to send you to the office for disorderly conduct."
"I haven't been fighting." Kagome growled. Luck wasn't on her side because the next thing they knew, three jounin walked into the room followed by six sobbing boys. Each was a bloody mess, having bruises, black eyes, bloody noses, scrapes, and cuts. Kagome's eyes widened but there was a sneer on her face when she saw the boys.
"Which one?" a jounin asked a boy. He pointed to Kagome shakily and the jounin sighed. "Ms. Higurashi, as usual."
"I'm coming." Kagome sighed, hanging her head. "Nice meeting you, Itachi Uchiha, ANBU Captain, thirteen years old." she said as the jounin grabbed Kagome's arm gently and steered her from the classroom. When they left, Itachi turned to the class that was snickering softly.
"Explain." he demanded. The class immediately quieted. A girl with waist length lavender hair and deep purple eyes stared at Itachi and explained.
"That's Kagome." she spat out as though her name were a curse. "She's our class wild child. She listens to no one and cares for no one but that little boy she totes around. She's always fighting so that is most likely why she wasn't here. Our last teacher, Miyaka-sensei could barely control her. When she entered prenancy was the only time Kagome was even remotely nice. She's cold and indifferent, fights all the the time, curses, and is just an all around evil girl."
"Your name?" Itachi asked. The girl blushed prettily and then raised her head proudly.
"I'm Tsubaki Shinamori, Itachi-sensei." she stated. He nodded and then he turned to his desk and began to take roll, all the while upset that a student of his had lied. This 'Kagome', would learn that he would not tolerate it. His thoughts turned back to the sobbing boys that were her age, twelve. There were six and each was as bloody and battered as the last. She must have had some fighting capabilities to inflict so much damage on six boys.
He turned to the board and began to right out a problem. He then began to teach class and measure everyone's capabilities. It was only when the bell rang for lunch that he saw Kagome again. The school yard was full of children eating under trees and playing. There was only one place that was almost devoid of life. It was that tree Kagome was at earlier. There was the small blonde and he was sitting down on the swing. Moments later, Kagome appeared with two bento boxes.
The little boy stood and ran to her. Some of the parents that came to drop off lunch sneered at the two as he jumped into Kagome's arms. She swung him around and set him on his feet. She pulled him by the hand and sat with him under the tree and gave him a box. He sat under his own tree, watching them, and eating his own lunch.
So she couldn't be all that bad...but he would not tolerate her behavior in his class and she would learn that the hard way.
"Naru-chan." Kagome said softly as she patted the blonde's back as he began to cough. "You shouldn't eat so fast."
"Sorry, Gome-chan." the blonde said softly, ducking his head. Kagome shook her head and smiled, she gripped his chin and touched the whisker marks on his cheeks softly. He smiled, blue eyes twinkling in the sun, and she giggled.
"Finish your food." she stated. He nodded and ate at a much slower pace. "Are you behaving in class?"
"Yes." he stated sweetly around a mouth full of rice, too sweetly.
"Lying is very unbecoming of a young ninja." Kagome said seriously, ignoring the fact that she lied just this morning.
"Yeah I know. I'm really trying though, Kagome! I really am!" he cried. She nodded and then when she took a bite of her own rice, Naruto gripped her hand in his much smaller one, inspecting her wounds. "Did you get in trouble?"
"Just a bit." Kagome answered honestly."But those guys shouldn't pick on you."
"What do you have to do?" Naruto asked.
"They'll be leaving it up to my new sensei." Kagome sighed.
"What's his name?"
"Itachi Uchiha."
"He's Sasuke-teme's brother!" Naruto gagged. Kagome giggled and nodded her head.
"What did I say about calling Sasuke a teme?"
"That it's not nice and I shouldn't do it." he mimicked in a poor imitation of her voice. Kagome hit him in the back of the head just as they finished eating. Naruto whined and Kagome merely sighed. The bell rang signifying that it was the end of lunch and Kagome stood, bringing Naruto with her. She walked him to his class and passed her teacher talking to the jounin that had brought her to the office.
After making sure that Naruto was at his class, she went to her own she took her normal seat, in the second row, second desk, middle seat. In other words, she sat in the middle of everything. Most of class was already there and so she glared the whole time walking to her seat. The boy that sat next to her pushed his chair away and she ignored him, sitting her head on her desk. The girl that sat at her side, Tsubaki, glared and sniffed, turning her head away. Kagome rolled her eyes and watched as Itachi walked into the classroom.
"We're about to go and do kunai training. Stand and file out quietly. If anyone talks they will be running ten laps aorund the training grounds. Walk to training grounds 2. Move." Itachi told the class. They did as they were told and when Kagome waited to walk last Itachi walked beside her. "Your punishment has been left up to me." Kagome nodded her head, her eyes cold. "Your punishment is to clean the classroom after school today and every day for a week. I will watch and make sure you get it done. That is for fighting. For lying to me, you will do the training exercise as many times as I see fit." Kagome clenched her fist but nodded her consent.
The class arrived in the training grounds and stood in a single file line. In front of them was a scratched up post. The first child in line was sent to strike it with their kunai and make it on the target. Tsubaki went first. She made it on the white, just one from the red center. She huffed and did this four times more, missing each time. Itachi wrote this on his clipboard. He went down the line and only two children managed to successfully hit the bulls eye a few times. Five students missed the target completely. It was finally Kagome's turn. He nodded to her and Kagome sighed.
She uncliped the pouch that was under her skirt and pulled out five kunai. She put four on her left hand and one in her right. She tossed the one in her right at the target. She grabbed one from her left and tossed it. She did this several times until there were no more kunai in her hands. Itachi surveryed the target and smirked. Each hit the bulls eye. He nodded and grabbed the kunai and threw them at her. She caught each and he nodded at her.
"Again." he told her coolly. She did and with the same results. He took the kunai and tossed them at her. "Again." he told her and he turned to the class. "Run two laps around the perimeter." Kagome finished throwing her kunai and he tossed them back. "Again." she finished. "Again." once more she finished. "Again." Bulls eye. "Again." Bulls eye. "Again." Bulls eye. "Again. Faster." Bulls eye. Sweat gathered on her brow and she gripped her arm lightly. "Again." Bulls eye. "Again." Bulls eye. The class finished their running and watched from under the trees, silently wondering why he was doing this. "Stop. Fifteen laps around the perimeter."
Kagome nodded and without a word did as she was told. She began at a slow jog and Itachi watched her, observing her any signs of weariness. There were none from what he could tell. A slight sweat gathered on her brow much like with the kunai throwing but that was all. When she had finished her laps, Itachi stood impressed. He nodded to her as she caught her breath and walked with her hands on her head. He turned to the class and motioned for them to get up and begin walking to the class.
Kagome followed them and watched as Itachi wrote somethings on his clipboard. She snorted and walked with the class silently. They filed in and sat down in their seats. Tsubaki sniffed and wrinkled her nose. Kagome once again rolled her eyes and waited for the bell to ring.
"You smell, Higurashi." Tsubaki growled.
"I'd imagine so. I just did more training then you. Excuse my offending scent of sweat. Work a day in your life and you may smell the same." Kagome sighed and buried her head in her arms.
"Tomorrow we will work on your chakra control. On Friday we will have an exam so that I may test your skills. You will spar with each other. With what I have seen already, I am not happy with. Most you are below average in this class. Others-" he looked at Kagome when he said this. "-are above average." the bell rang and the students began to stand. "Sit." Itachi demanded.
"But Itachi-sensei the-" began one of the boys in class.
"That bell does not dismiss you, I do." Itachi growled. The class sat and Itachi smirked. "Good. As I was saying. I will not allow you to leave this academy until you are all above average or perfect. Dismissed." the class raced out all except for Kagome nd Tsubaki. Kagome stayed seated while Tsubaki went up to Itachi. "What?" he demanded.
"I was wondering if you'd like to go and get something to eat with me?" she asked softly. A snort came from Kagome as she stood and sat on the front row, center desk. Tsubaki glared at her and Kagome merely smiled and waved.
"No. Now leave." Itachi answered her coldly. "Higurashi. Get over here." Itachi said coldly to the girl. Kagome nodded and Tsubaki stared wide eyed when Itachi denied her. "I said go." he glared. Tsubaki left and Kagome watched her go. When she left, a blonde head peaked inside the classroom. "Yes?" Itachi asked.
"Kagome?" Naruto asked softly. Kagome glared at Itachi, daring him to do anything. He didn't and Kagome walked over to Naruto and opened her arms. He hugged her and she smiled happily. "Are we eating dinner together?"
"No. Sorry kid. My punishment is to stay here and clean the classroom and it may take a few hours."
"I can stay!" Naruto cried. Kagome shook her head and sighed.
"Sorry, Naru-chan." Naruto sighed and Kagome signaled for him to wait. He did and she went and grabbed her school bag. She pulled out her wallet and pulled out some cash. "Go and buy yourself a few bowls of ramen. Go and ask Iruka if he wants to join you and make sure you tell him you'll pay for yourself. He'll go with you. Here's the key to my apartment and you can get a slice of cake. It's chocolate. Stay there and then I'll walk you home when I get there. Just come here after school for the next week."
"Okay, Gome-chan!" he pecked her cheek and then ran off calling for Iruka. She smiled and then she silently went to work on cleaning the classroom, Itachi's eyes following her the whole time.
