{A few Days Later}

**************************

The cool morning air flows through the shoji walls, hearing the morning birds singing their tune. Trudging forward I ruffle my hair tousling it up, finally finished with my early morning training.

Heading to the bathroom I make my way slowly, feeling quite tired and lethargic for a moment like my energy was instantly drained. Mentally.

Reaching the bathroom I turn on the shower preparing it, while I take off my sweaty training clothes before placing it in a basket of dirty laundry. Stepping in feeling the warm water soaking into my aching muscles, before scrubbing my hair with aloe vera type of hair wash.

After a few minutes feeling drenched enough, I step out before taking my towel quickly drying myself and then changing into my normal ninja clothes.

"What time is it?" I mumble to myself, walking out still drying my damp hair I check the clock in the kitchen. "Okay.....I've got at least thirty minutes....."

Every morning I trained, and pushed past my limits.

Things weren't easy when you train alone, but I knew enough to get by. One day I hope to strive in the same direction big brother is going, seeing him accomplish many things. I envied him as well, wanting to be strong and a leader.

Glancing sideways I notice a small note upon a bento, making me walk over lifting it.

'Just something for you seen I've been noticing that you haven't been eating much, so please eat this? If you want to become strong, and helpful.....eat. Anyway have a great first day of becoming a genin! I'm so proud! Anyway I won't be here for four days, so please eat and rest too.

~ Big Brother Shiro xo

Smiling softly with how kind my big brother was, a small stray tear rolls down. He always made me feel loved, and wanted. Sometimes I wonder without him, would I even be here now? Walking over to the tetsubin, that was warming up before I quickly pour myself some green herbal tea.

Drinking it slowly, my mind drifts off wondering what we will be doing first up. A smile curls upon my lips, I down the rest of my green tea slowly before grabbing my bento and began heading out.

***********************

Reaching the academy I slowly make my way down the hallway, not being able to find Hinata around at the front. Just before I could walk through our classroom, I felt myself being shoved to the side hearing two loud annoying girls quarreling and barreling each other around.

"I'm first!"

"No I'm first!!"

Rolling my eyes I continue walking through the door calmly, wanting to just find my seat. Suddenly just when I walk past the bickering two, a hand grabs my collar tugging me back.

"Of course you graduated!" Ino spat, bitterness lacing her tone. "You even scored a higher grade than Sasuke himself, how dare you insult him!"

Sakura laughs.

"You're too fat to be a ninja! What gives you any right to try now, seriously why does the ugly ones get better results," Sakura adds, which made the two girls agree upon me.

Before I could protest a hand latches around my wrist, pulling me away from the girls before seeing Kiba standing in front of me.

"Just give it a rest Ino, Sakura...." He growls lowly, earning a tiny bark from Akamaru. "She's not fat, maybe you're talking to a mirror........"

Her sky blue eyes widen.

"Wha--?"

Kiba turns to me with a slight scowl across his face, "Come on Cub," he ushers calmly, when I blink a few times.
