Thanks for reviewing!:D TIPS: Hikari means Light in Japanese, and Kyoko means Mirror in Japanese. I'm sure you've already figured out why I used Hikari, later on you'll find out why I used Kyoko as her last name. Also, I'm going দ্বারা the english জীবন্ত here, so that's why I use Leaf Village instead of Konoha. Hope আপনি enjoy this!

Ch. 2: Friendships Begin!
Hikari and Naruto grew up with each other, both finding out that their apartments weren't too far away from each other — they were practically neighbors! Both always played at the park, swinging, sliding down slides, and whatever else the park had to offer. The quiet little girl that নারুত had met was blossoming, becoming a fun girl who laughed a lot and smiled almost as much as he did, while still keeping her kind and pure spirit.
At the age of seven, both eagerly signed up for the Ninja Academy, ready for classes and hopefully make new বন্ধু who didn't misjudge them.
Hikari was currently putting on her black ninja sandals that went with the rest of her outfit — a black hoodie with white pants. It was simple, comfortable, and loose. Plus, it's not like she has much money to afford anything "fashionable" as most girls her age wore.
নারুত knocked on Hikari's apartment room door, both of them had already planned the দিন before that they would walk together to the academy. Since they only had each other and all . . .
Hikari opened the door to see a smiling নারুত — he changed his outfit since they're a বছর older and attending the academy now. He now wore a white t-shirt with his symbol on the front and the same knee-length shorts, only they were now navy blue along with his ninja sandals. His spiky blond hair was just as wild as always.
"Mornin' Hikari! Ready to start the day?" he ব্যক্ত excitingly and she smiled.
"Yep! I'm all set, let's head to the academy!" she said, just as eager as her best friend. They've dreamed about this since they found out about it a few months ago.
So they ran there — far too eager and excited to walk.
When they came through the entrance and into the school yard, some kids and parents were already waiting. Upon their entrance, two adults who had been standing near the entrance turned to see who arrived. When they realized who the two children were, their gazes immediately turned into glares.
Hikari simply looked away out of dismay, she tended to go to her old way when people glared at her, far too soft-hearted and forgiving to do anything. But নারুত glared right back at the haughty strangers and even stuck his tongue out childishly.
"C'mon Hikari, let's go over here." নারুত growled in his raspy tone, softly taking Hikari's hand in his (something they always do when there were people like them around) and led them toward the group of children their age with the parents standing in the back.
নারুত let go of Hikari's hand once they were in the midst of children, though most of them saw. Iruka Umino was one of the few who saw, along with the Hokage, and they both smiled despite themselves.
Hikari looked around her timidly, she wasn't use to talking with other children her age besides Naruto. Suddenly, both নারুত and Hikari heard munching coming from beside them and they looked down to see a chubby boy sitting down with a big bag of potato chips in his lap, he was eating them in delight.
"Jeez, are আপনি really eating again?" Came a lazy voice belonging to সিকামারু Nara, he was standing beside his friend who was munching out.
"Uhmmmm-hmmmmm . . ." ব্যক্ত the chubby boy with spiky red-brown hair who was Choji Akimichi, he was far too preoccupied with eating.
"Man, what a drag . . ." ব্যক্ত the lazy boy with dark hair pulled up in a spiky ponytail, scratching his head.
Hikari smiled, suddenly her timidness was gone and was replaced with her usual kindness and the confidence she's developed with the help of Naruto. She then crouched down beside Choji, her face friendly and kind.
"What flavor are আপনি eating?" she asked, নারুত gazed at her with wonder at her open friendliness that she rarely showed to anyone besides him. সিকামারু gazed in surprise that a girl was actually talking to his friend voluntarily . . . most people just ignored him.
"Barbecue," Choji ব্যক্ত in between munches, not even noticing that it was a girl talking to him and not his best friend beside him.
"Really? That's my পছন্দ flavor! Can I have a chip?" Hikari asked him, eyes alight.
"Huh?" Choji questioned, realizing that it was a girl's voice talking to him and he looked up, curiosity stopping his munching down. He then saw the most prettiest girl he'd ever seen from up this close. With her long snow white hair, mist gray eyes, and চীনামাটির বাসন white skin, she looked just like an angel! Especially with the sunlight dazzling her appearance even more. Choji found himself at a loss for words, just staring at her with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.
Hikari remained oblivious, নারুত snickered because he knew the bizarre effects Hikari unknowingly had on people. It was like a strange glow emanated from around her, a dazzling light, and সিকামারু seemed to have the same effect as Choji though he was আরো discreet, his eyes only being slightly wider.
Choji visibly gulped before plastering a huge smile on his face. "Sure!" he said, offering her a chip that she began to eat.
নারুত smiled, pleased that these kids seemed to not be scared of him and Hikari like the rest and he bent down. "Hey, can I have a chip too?"
"Get your own!" Choji snapped with জীবন্ত angry বৃত্ত eyes as he snappily crunched down on a chip.
"But আপনি just gave her one Mister Snappy," নারুত muttered, his eyes narrowed, and সিকামারু smiled.
"Don't mind him, Choji rarely ever shares. দ্বারা the way, I'm Shikamaru."
Hikari looked up at them with bright eyes. "Hikari," she introduced, standing up.
"And I'm Choji," he ব্যক্ত while also standing up, still munching.
"I'm নারুত Uzumaki!" নারুত ব্যক্ত proudly and সিকামারু rubbed his ear.
"Are আপনি always this loud?" he asked in an annoyed tone.
Suddenly there was a bark! and they looked in time to see a small white কুকুরছানা run up and hop straight into Hikari's surprised arms.
"Akamaru!" Came a young boy's voice as a brown-haired boy with canine-like features ran up to the small group.
The puppy, who Hikari summarized as being "Akamaru," barked in acknowledgment of his master but cuddled up close to Hikari and she smiled and slowly pet the sweet pup.
The boy, Kiba Inuzuka, looked up and became momentarily stunned দ্বারা the girl before regaining his composure.
And here I thought dog boy here was about to start drooling, jeez! নারুত thought, his eye twitching in anger.
"Sorry about that, Akamaru just sniffed the air and suddenly took off — as happy as can be!" Kiba ব্যক্ত lightly with a smile, scratching the back of his head in an embarrassed manner.
Hikari smiled. "It's okay, he's a good pup, aren't you?" she cooed to the pup, scratching his ear and he barked in agreement.
Kiba smiled. "Thanks, and I'm Kiba!" he said, pointing to himself with his thumb and a toothy grin on his tanned face. Akamaru barked and then hopped into Kiba's arms.
"I'm Hikari," she said, smiling sweetly.
"Naruto!" he yelled, standing beside Hikari.
"Shikamaru," He gave a half-wave, his expression bored.
"Choji," he mumbled in between munches.
"Alright! It's time to begin!" Iruka shouted to everyone and they all looked up to the front. Everyone was grouped into two separate groups, the adults aligned in rows in the back while the children were in the front, all of them in orderly rows as well.
Parent-less, নারুত and Hikari were at the very end. The Third Hokage stepped up, gathering everyone's attention.
"I welcome আপনি all to the Leaf Village's Ninja Academy! May these new tiny buds grow and blossom into fine shinobi," The old man began, and everyone listened intently to his speech before Iruka called all of the children in. They all filed into the room, নারুত snagging two seats in the back of the classroom for him and Hikari.
"Alright, well first I want everyone to come up and introduce themselves to your classmates," Iruka started, ignoring the few groans that sounded. "For instance, my name is Iruka Umino, and I'm pleased to be your instructor." He gave them a smile.
One-by-one students walked to the front and introduced themselves. নারুত and Hikari watched with smiles as Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba all introduced themselves. পরবর্তি came a boy wearing darkened glasses and a tall ঘোমটা which concealed half his face, his name was Shino Aburame. Then a pink-haired girl went up, a bit timidly like how Hikari tended to be, and her name was Sakura Haruno. After her was a dark headed boy who introduced himself as Sasuke Uchiha. Then there was a girl with light blond hair দ্বারা the name of Ino Yamanaka and then a very shy and petite girl who was Hinata Hyuga.
আরো students went up and introduced themselves before it was finally Hikari's turn. She gulped and instinctively looked over at নারুত for back-up.
He gave her his beaming grin that always managed to calm her nerves."You'll do great," he whispered encouragingly, and she became determined and nodded.
"Next," Iruka called, and Hikari came to stand in the front.
