Previously on BW: नारूटो and Hikari have attended the academy and are introducing themselves to their classmates. अगला up: Hikari.
3. एंजल and Demon
Her determination melted away as soon as she faced the entire class, and stage fright took over as her और timid side began to show. All of the words she was just about to say had left her mind as if someone purposefully चुरा लिया them away . . .
Suddenly, Akamaru barked as if encouraging her, and Hikari came out of her shyness as if in response to the kind pup.
She shot them all a beaming smile.
"Hello, my name is Hikari Kyoko," she कहा in a pure and angelic voice, holding everyone's attention with her vivid mist gray eyes.
Iruka appeared shocked, silently thinking to himself, so she's the village's . . .
"Alright," he cleared his voice, making everyone jump since it had gotten so quiet. "You can take your seat, Hikari." He told her sweetly with a smile, which she returned and quickly ran up to her सीट just as Iruka called for the अगला student.
नारूटो ran down so fast that he लॉस्ट his footing on a step and tripped before landing roughly on his butt right in front of Iruka.
The majority of the kids laughed while Hikari put a hand over her दिल in a concerned habit for her friend, preparing to rush down there and help him. Then, नारूटो got up with a huge grin on his face as he rubbed the back of his head in an embarrassed habit. He was actually slightly pleased at making everyone laugh and with his blue eyes ever bright, he punched the air in front of him.
"My name is नारूटो Uzumaki! Don't आप guys forget it!" he कहा enthusiastically, shocking Iruka द्वारा his boldness.
With a few remarks from some kids, नारूटो was told to go to his seat. Iruka saw how he sat right beside Hikari and began chatting away excitingly, Hikari throwing in words with a huge smile on her face. So, they're both here . . . and seem to be fairly close . . . I better tell Lord Hokage about this later. Iruka thought to himself with a began the lesson and both नारूटो and Hikari listened intently since this was a new experience for the two orphans. It was mainly telling of the basics of what a ninja was all about, and that they were enrolling to become the future generation of shinobi.
Once their "ear had been talked off" as नारूटो said, they were dismissed to hang out in the school yard. Getting to know one another better and having contact with people your age, especially if they were to be your future teammates, was ideal for a ninja — though most kids didn't really listen to Iruka-sensei on that part.
नारूटो and Hikari entered the school yard where all of the other kids were and began looking around at all of the children who were running around and playing — not running away from them with fear in their eyes that the two still didn't understand. Hikari had been tempted to ask Iruka-sensei about it earlier since he seemed to be the only adult who had been kind to her, but she chickened out in the end, not wanting to ruin anything for her and नारूटो — so she kept quiet.
The pair were soon joined द्वारा familiar faces — Kiba and Akamaru.
"Hey, that was quite an unexpected entrance there clumsy," Kiba teased at नारूटो who instantly became angry at his earlier humiliation.
"Why you! Well at least I didn't bring some snot-nosed कुत्ते का बच्चा, पिल्ला to school!" नारूटो shot back and soon, Kiba and नारूटो were head-to-head in insults while Hikari sweat-dropped and left the two alone since she wouldn't be able to calm the two hot-heads down for some time.
She stepped away and began looking around, noticing शिकामारू laying down in the grass, staring up at the clouds with Choji beside him eating a bag of potato chips. She smiled, and continued looking around for anyone to possibly talk to. She then spotted the Shino boy standing off to himself — या were the other kids . . . avoiding him?
She shrugged, smile still on her face, and walked toward him.
Shino was well aware of the fact that all of the other kids found him weird since he had bugs and avoided him, so he knew he wouldn't be able to make any फ्रेंड्स besides his bugs. But then the girl called Hikari walked up with an open, friendly smile on her face, not a grimace that came on a person's face when they approached.
"Hi, why are आप over here द्वारा yourself?" she asked him, curious and also concerned slightly — she didn't know why she had this automatic care-for-any-living-thing response, it's just always been apart of her. And since she's really close to Naruto, she gets concerned about him pretty easily.
Shino looked over at her in surprise, was she really talking to him? He wordlessly held out his hand which had some tiny insects resting on his pale fingers. That should have sent her away like all the rest, but she stayed still. Observing his tiny insects that had become a part of him with curious eyes.
"Wow . . ." she murmured in awe, wonder entrancing her at seeing how close the bugs were attached to him.
Shino was becoming slightly nervous and uncomfortable at her close proximity. Especially when she looked up at him and smiled, a strange glow stunning him briefly.
"Can I hold one?" she asked innocently to the shocked Shino.
"Uh, sure . . ." he muttered, sending one of his beetles flying toward her and it landed lightly on her slender finger.
She giggled as it tickled her skin.
"May I ask आप something?" Shino कहा abruptly and Hikari looked up from her playing with the tiny insect. "The other children do not take too fondly to my insects, so why is it that आप don't as well?"
So that's why he was all alone over here, they don't like his bugs . . . Hikari thought to herself before answering Shino. "I प्यार all creatures, and I don't really feel any hate या dislike to any of them, even the tiniest ones. I adore these small critters," she कहा with a giggling smile as the tiny bug continued to tickle her.
Shino's eyes widened, though no one could see. He was both grateful for the girl's understanding and puzzled द्वारा what she said. Did that mean she's never felt hate before?
"And I know what it's like to be all alone," she whispered, growing serious before shooting him a comforting grin. "So आप can always come and hang out with me and नारूटो — we won't mind! I'm sure नारूटो will eventually get use to your bugs."
Shino found himself beseeched. Never once has any of the other children offered him to hang out with them.
"Hikari," he mumbled in a low tone, finding himself in slight gratitude. "Thank you." He told her.
"Your welcome Shino," she said, and shock filled him once again. She actually remembered his name from class, and didn't call him द्वारा his nickname of "bug boy."
She put the tiny beetle softly back on Shino's hand. "Well, I'd better go see what नारूटो is up to, see ya later Shino!" She gave him a wave, which he silently returned but would always remember the girl's encouraging words.
He looked down at his insect and noticed that it seemed to like Hikari, something about her made it almost reluctant to leave her . . . Strange, Shino thought to himself.
Hikari mainly hung around with नारूटो for the rest of the दिन — both leaving when parents came to pick up their children. नारूटो and Hikari found themselves telling about their eventful दिन while sitting on the same swings where they first became friends, both knowing that they would always have each other.

"So how was school?" Kiba's mother, Tsume Inuzuka, asked her son who was sitting at the तालिका, टेबल eating supper.
"It was good. Akamaru and I learned a lot, though most of it was stuff आप already told us about," he said, eating a bowl of rice. "And you'll never believe what Akamaru did this morning!"
"What's that?" she asked, only mildly curious.
"He sniffed the air and went crazy! I swear I've never seen'em that excited and happy about anything! He went straight to a girl and hopped right into her arms like he's known her forever!" Kiba exclaimed.
She laughed, "Oh, really? What was the girl's name?"
Kiba smiled. "Hikari Kyoko, and she's really nice and has this sort of . . . light around her that makes her extra pretty," Kiba flushed slightly at admitting that to his mom, but she paid it no mind as she was stuck द्वारा the first thing he said.
She was shocked, even stopping what she was doing — washing dishes — and Kiba looked at her back, puzzled.
"Mom?" he asked, noticing how she looked फ्रोज़न before she continued what she was doing.
"Hurry up and eat so आप can get ready for school tomorrow," she ordered, but her mind was preoccupied and her partner, Kuromaru, noticed this.
So, the एंजल of the Leaf is going to be a ninja, huh? she thought with a wry smile.
"Reporting, sir!" Iruka कहा as he appeared before the Hokage.
"Yes, Iruka? What is it that आप wished to speak to me about?"
"Lord Hokage, as आप know, both नारूटो Uzumaki and Hikari Kyoko have signed up for the Ninja Academy. I was watching them today and it seems they've known each other long before the academy. They both seem to be really close to one another, sir." Iruka told him and the Hokage rose from his सीट to gaze out the wall-sized window behind him.
"I see . . . Good," he muttered before turning to look at Iruka once more. "Just keep an eye on them." He softly ordered, and Iruka bowed before disappearing.
The Third sighed, looking up at the darkening sky. Hikari is the light that नारूटो will need to quell the demon sealed inside him. After all, only an एंजल can give off the light strong enough to pierce the thickest darkness . . . The एंजल and Demon of the Leaf . . . आप will need each other far और than आप will ever know. He thought both strongly, and sadly.
