Sunlight shone brightly over Konoha village this morning. It was a very special day for some, a very frightening day for others. Today was the day to see who would graduate from Konoha Ninja Academy and finally become a leaf shinobi. Outside the school, students gathered with anticipation as their academy days would soon be done.

"Yes!" A girl pumped her fist into the air in a victory stance. "Today's the day guys! This is it!" She exclaimed, turning to two other girls standing next to her. She pushed her short, black hair behind her ear and straightened her black shirt then pulled up her baggy shorts, kicking the dirt from her faded blue sandal shoes.

"I'm so happy! I'll finally get away from that annoying Uchiha!" A girl with blonde pigtails squealed with joy. Her bright blue eyes sparkled with excitement that she would finally be getting away from who she thought was the most annoying person in class. The other girl with shoulder length black hair sighed and shoved her hands into her sweat pants pockets.

"Geez Sana, don't have a heart attack!" Kaiya chuckled at the blonde-haired girl, who was doing a victory dance.

"You'd be happy too Kaiya! I hate him so much!" Sana went on, making Kaiya smile. Her green eyes shone with curiosity as she turned to her other friend who had her arms behind her head with her eyes closed.

"What about you Mitsuki? Aren't you excited?"

"If you ask me, this is all a big waste of time! I could have been at home sleeping!" She yawned out. Kaiya simply sighed as Sana stopped dancing to look at her friend.

"You've got to be kidding me Suki-chan... I wouldn't be surprised if you wanted to sleep through the moon blowing up...!" She laughed.

"Whatever..." Mitsuki opened an eye, looking around. "Hey, where'd Sana go?" She let her arms drop from behind her head and was now fully alert.

"I don't... I found her!" Kaiya shouted happily. Her smile slowly faded as she realized she was with someone else. "But who's that?"

"Who's who?" Mitsuki asked. "I can't see Sana's head is in the way!"

"That! The guy she's with!" Kaiya pointed out, hoping Mitsuki would understand.

"Ohhh... Well, let's get a closer look, I can't tell from here!" She demanded, pushing Kaiya along towards Sana and the boy. As they got closer, Kaiya could see his face a bit clearer and made out his blue eyes and the distinguished markings on his cheeks. She was suddenly over run by curiosity and started in a run towards Sana, who saw her from the corner of her eye and waved her over, which Kaiya complied.

"Hey guys, this is Naru-chan!" Sana said happily, making him glare in her direction.

"What's with the stupid nickname?" He demanded, scratching the back of his head with a nearly unnoticeable blush on his face. Sana rolled her eyes and grabbed him by the shoulders, turning him towards the two girls.

"Just say hi you moron..." She grumbled. Naruto and Kaiya stared at each other with an awkward silence.

"Hi. I'm Kaiya, nice to meet you Naru-chan!" Kaiya teased, making Naruto nearly lose his balance from the suddenly broken silence. He quickly regained posture and looked at her with determination in his eyes.

"My name's Naruto Uzumaki and I'm gonna be the next Hokage!" He shouted, earning a stifled laugh from Kaiya and Mitsuki.

"And I'm sure you'll make a great Hokage Naruto!" Kaiya assured him with a smile, earning a slight blush and smile from Naruto. He put his hand on the back of his head and raised his elbow up, signaling to Kaiya's brain that this was his 'Aw-shucks' pose.

"Ha! Are you serious? Kaiya, this joker could never be a decent ninja, the Hokage no less!" A voice said from behind them, followed by a small bark. Kaiya's smile disappeared and she shook her head with an instant dislike of the voice behind her. She turned with a cold glare on her face.

"Why don't you play fetch somewhere Kiba?"

"Shut it Hakashiro. I'm right and you know it!" Kiba smirked. Kaiya held up her fists in anger.

"What did you say!? I'm gonna punch you so hard in the face Kiba-!"

"Kaiya calm down, calm down!" Mitsuki shouted, trying her hardest to keep her friend from clawing Kiba's eyes out. Sana and Naruto joined once they saw that holding Kaiya back was no job for one person.

"Come on Kaiya, calm down! You're attracting a crowd..." Sana said shyly feeling slightly embarrassed that everyone was staring at them. "He's not worth it, let it go!" She tried to reason.

"No way, I'm gonna kill him!" Kaiya yelled, still trying to get out of her friend's clutches. Kiba stood about 3 feet away, his arms crossed as he waited for her to "attack". He yawned and gave Kaiya a victorious smirk as if he had won. What he was not prepared for was for Kaiya to actually escape and pin him to ground. "Now I'm gonna beat you to a pulp you stupid dog!" She yelled, giving him a punch in the face.

"Not if I can help it!" Kiba muttered, not wanting to be defeated in front of all his friends, by a girl, no less. It would be embarrassing to say the least, and all the other kids would tease him. With He threw Kaiya off him and jumped on her, getting one swipe at her face, making her cheek bleed.

"Hey you kids, knock it off!" Said a voice from behind the crowd. Kaiya and Kiba turned to its direction and immediately separated.

"I-Iruka... sensei..." Kaiya stammered as Kiba turned his head in the other direction.

"That's the second time I've had to stop you two from nearly killing each other! What did I say about fighting in the school courtyard?" Iruka yelled to the two kids.

"Humph! Just don't expect me to say sorry. She started it!" Kiba began to point the finger. Kaiya growled and glared at him.

"Maybe if you weren't being such a jerk all the time I wouldn't be trying to punch your lights out..." Kaiya replied dryly, rolling her eyes. Iruka sighed and scratched his head.

"What are you two gonna do if you end up on the same squad?" Iruka asked them as he shook his head.

"Probably claw each other's eyes out..." They answered in unison, getting exasperated sighs from Naruto, Sana and Mitsuki.

"Let's just get inside you guys, class is about to start. And I don't want to see another fight between you two, got it?"

"Yes Iruka-sensei..." They nodded.
