Silence

7.Peaked My Interest.

Shizukana's P.O.V

My conversation with Iruka Sensei led me to the Cemetery where my parents were buried.

It was around 4 pm. I walked through the graves and stood in front of my parents graves.

I sat down and made myself comfortable.

"Hey, sorry I couldn't come visit. I don't even know if you are listening considering he fact that I pretty much forgot about you for a year." I spoke to the ground. "Today was my first day of the Academy. It was fine. Taka-kun fell asleep during the Hokage's speech. But I met new people."

I sighed before standing up. "I have to go but I will try to visit you everyday."

With that, I left and made my way back to my apartment.

I entered my room and fell into a deep sleep.

Two Years later......

I sat in my usual spot next to Shino. We had made a weird relationship over the two years.

Not best friends but more like very close companions. He would talk about his bugs and I would talk about the new experiments or just some random facts.

I really like the fact where he explains everything right after he says something. Why you may ask, because it gives me the feeling that he is interested in talking.

I had become close friends with Hinata and Shikamaru.

I met Hinata when I defended her from a bunch of bullies and Shikamaru helped me ward them off. I know. Not so Shikamaru like. Am I right?

Flash back....

I was walking home from the Academy when I heard someone whimpering in fear next to an alley.

Me being the curious being, went to see what it was.

When I came around the corner, I found five boys around the age of 7, bullying a small girl who seemed to be pleading.

Ah... Bullies, Big Ugly Lonely Losers Yearning for attention.

"Hey!" I called out feeling a new sense of courage. "Pick on someone your own size."

Wow. Real cliche.

I jumped in front of the girl and the Bullies backed away, puffing their chest. "Why don't you run along, little girl?"

The guy who spoke seemed to be the leader. He was the biggest there.

I smirked. If I could rile them up to focus completely on me then the Girl could sneak out.

"Little girl? Honey, look in the mirror and you will find your little girl." I said with a chuckle.

Wasn't a good insult but it made them angry.

"Now it's time for punishment." He said with his gang making their way up to me.

While they were distracted with me, I used my hand to motion girl to leave.

She must have gotten the idea since she bolted away.

Now that she's gone. I focused to the boys in front of me.

"How much of an Idiot are you, if that measly insult did the trick?" I taunted.

He huffed. "I'm not an idiot."

I chuckled. "Idiot says 'what'."

He and his friends looked at me with confusion. "What," the leader said.
