But I HATE School...

[Misarashi Katanai]

Katanai was shoved into yet another classroom. She had tried to sneak out today but was found by a teacher and shoved back inside the room. She looked inside the room. Was she the only student?! What the heck?! She was stared at until she took a seat. Of course, she sat in the back corner. She hated school and so far, all the teachers in it. She had only been to a few classes since she started the school and unlike most people, she was not given the welcoming tour. Since Kat had no parents, she was pretty much dragged to the school. She hated being forced to do things just because she had no parents. She just learned to ignore it. At least they started allowing her to take Aurora to school and classes with her.

She looked at the chalk board. She smiled wickedly as she pictured herself drawing pictures of herself eating the teachers. She wished that her friend, Azumi, had this class with her. Azumi was her only friend and she hated having to be without friends.

Katanai shrugged as she rested her head on her fist in a discouraged position. Aurora, her cat, now rubbed against her arm and took it upon herself to lay down and make herself comfortable. The black ball of fur began to purr, trying to comfort her master. Katanai heard her say, "Don't worry, It will be okay. School will be out soon enough". Katanai smiled to her with easy eyes and said "I know, dear Aurora. I just wish that I had a human friend to help me through the day. Although, you make an awfully great companion."


She then reluctantly waited for the stupid teacher to come in and give her a lesson.

[Yuuhi Kurenai]

Kurenai walked into the classroom and saw a girl sitting at a desk. *That must be the new girl* thought Kurenai as she studied her. *Wow cat ears and tail, it must be hard for her* thought Kurenai while she watched the black cat on the desk.

"Hello, I'm Kurenai - sensei." she said with a warm smile. "So, I heard you're new here, did anyone get the chance to show you around?" asked Kurenai trying to be kind the the odd student.

Kurenai walked over to where the girl was sitting and said softly, "It might be hard for you, coming to a new school, and things like that, but I'm sure you'll make lots of friends once they get to know you." "And, if you can't find a place to sit at lunch you're welcome to come up here and we'll have lunch together." Kurenai really did think she would form a bond with the odd girl and maybe even help her in behavior.

[Misarashi Katanai]

Katanai looked at the teacher. She looked rather strict but still kinda nice. Like a cookie- crunchy on the outside but gooey on the inside. After getting over the shock that she had actually compared a teacher to a Cookie, she thought to herself, "What is it now? Is she going to act all nice and then shove me in detention? Teachers love that kind of evil stuff that ticks me off...*

She looked back down at Aurora. The black cat's fur was prickeling up. This meant that the furry feline was suspicious of Kurenai. She, herself was a bit suspicious too. No one at all had been this nice to her since her arival. She had to have a conversation with her Inner Kat to help her out.

~Inner Conversation~

Katanai- What should I do? I don't know this lady! On the one hand... she's being really nice to me...

Inner Kat- On the other hand, you don't know if this is a trap or not yet.

Katanai- So.... what you're saying is-

Inner Kat- -that you should keep your guard up. Yes.

Katanai- You're right... Meh... teachers are so freakish....

Inner Kat- I know... but now, snap out of it, and go back to facing that Kurenai lady

Katanai- Right.

~End Conversation~

Katanai looked up at Kurenai. She squinted. She then sighed and said, "No. No one in this school has welcomed me in. I've never even HEARD of anyone that would show ME around. Plus- the school is just basically there because of my personal status- an orphan. If I weren't smart at all, I might as well be dead as far as anyone cares."

She said all this with her hand clenching her blade's handel as it rested on her back. The other blade she allowed to stay where it was. She only would need to grasp one for now. She had said all of that, also, with one, cunning look on her face. Her orphan status didn't seem to affect her at all.

[Yuuhi Kurenai]

Kurenai looked closer at the girl. On her hair tie it said 'Katanai' *So that's her name.* thought Kurenai.

"Katanai, I would be glad to give you a tour of the school." said Kurenai with a warm smile. "I know what it's like to be new."

Kurenai couldn't help feel bad for Katanai. Kurenai thought Katanai was weird but the least she could do was be nice to her. It sure didn't look like alot of the teachers took the time to sit down with her so Kurenai thought it would be good for Katanai.

[Misarashi Katanai]

Katanai snarled. She hated it when people addressed her by name when she hadn't introduced herself yet. She hated school. She had no friends. This 'Kurenai' lady wasn't going to make her life any better. No school tour would bring her happiness. She just knew that she wasn't the social type. She could tell when people didn't like her or thought she was odd. She just knew what was what when it had to do with her social status. She knew that ESPECIALLY since she was an orphan that no adults looked upon her as a 'cute and sweet little girl'. They all saw her as a filthy half-breed. She really paid no mind to adults and their low level of maturity. She had seen kids that were more mature than some adults.

She seared as she snatched the VET TAG HAIR TIE out of her hair. She wore it for so many years- not knowing what it was. She looked at it when Kurenai was busy staring at poor Aurora. She read:

Vetrenary Identification Tag

Name: Misarashi Katanai
Gendar: Female
Species: Cat Ninja
If found to be lost, return to
Misarashi Mansion
354 Shinobi Way
Konohagure ((ooc- haha... shinobi way xD))

-Origato

She growled in her mind. She said, on her guard, "Why would you wish to do that?"

[Yuuhi Kurenai]

*No wonder why she has no friends, she pushes away anyone who tries to be her friend.* Kurenai thought while thinking about Katanai's question. Kurenai wanted to say, "Because I felt bad for you and I'm trying to help you along thats why!" but Kurenai didn't she just sighed and pushed a strand of her back behind her ear.

"Katanai, what I'm trying to say is that maybe if you knew where you were going you might make new friends." Kurenai said looking at Katanai. "And maybe if you work on your attitude you'll make more friends that way too." Kurenai waited for Katanai to either yell back or leave but Kurenai wasn't going down wtihout a fight.

[Misarashi Katanai]

Silently, she decided to use her favorite Genjutsu- since this was a Genjutsu class. She focused her chakra into her eyes and said quietly yet seriously, "Cat's Eye". With this technique, Kat could read minds. She looked at what Kureani-sensei was thinking and her eyes began to angrily spirel. (Her pupel now looked like her favorite sign- it was the top of the head of a cat and the wiskers.)

Now, Katanai looked at the teacher furiously, "Tell me this- did your parents ever make you wear a VET TAG?! Did you grow up with a TAIL?! Your freaking attitude doesn't matter if no one talks to you ANYWAY! I am the target of all sorts of "popular dumb a- ... butts...." and YOU! YOU have perfect freaking hair! YOU are a successful teacher! YOU are a FULL HUMAN!!!! IT IS NOT IN YOUR RIGHT TO JUDGE ME!"


She took a deep breath. She knew she would be getting detention or some other kind of punishment crap because as she said "VET TAG!", she had thrown her vet tag hair ribbon at Kurenai.

[Yuuhi Kurenai]

This was just what Kurenai was aiming for. To see Katanai's real power. To see what she could do as a student. Even though Katanai wasn't a full human she was just as good at Genjutsu as a normal student.

Kurenai picked up the hair tie and placed it on the desk. Kurenai could see why Katanai was upset. Kurenai took a deep breath. "Katanai, I know you're upset but taking people into your rampage and start yelling at them isn't the way to solve anything. It's not my fault, your parents fault, or even your fault that you were born like that but it still doesn't mean you can feel sorry for yourself."

Kurenai looked at Katanai. "Don't blame anyone for what you look like, but blame yourself for making a big deal about it."

[Misarashi Katanai]

Katanai said to Kurenai in a calmer way, "Well. Did you ever think that people try to... oh, I don't know... try to kill me? People don't like cat ninjas. Back in my child hood, the one girl who started to be nice to me... tried to kill me. I usually try to talk to people but it doesn't really work... at all... People just stand and stare at my tail. I have one friend and she's hardly in any of my classes... I think. So just take into consideration that it's not always a pitty party. You just think it is because you don't know."

She looked down sadly. "kira..." she mumbled. She then shed a tear of silver sadness.

[Yuuhi Kurenai]

"Katanai, don't try to hide who you are, if you do people will know that you're hiding something and make a big deal about it."
Kurenai couldn't imagine what it would be like to have people trying killing you but she thought it must have been hard for Katanai. Kurenai watched the tear roll down Katanai's face. "Katanai, I know it must be hard for someone you trusted tried to kill you but you can't just stop trusting people. You can trust me, I would never kill a student unless I had to and I'm sure that won't happen with you."

Kurenai looked out of the classroom window. "During life there'll be people to help you along the way and some to make your life harder, but you can't let that stop you from living the way you want to live." Kurenai then looked back at Katanai.

[Misarashi Katanai]

Katanai was tired of this Kurenai lady. She was acting like a guidance counselor for people that were mentally ill or something. She was a total freak as far as Kat was concerned. Hide who she was? She never did that. She usually never talked about stuff like this and always got along fine. She down right hated this conversation. She decided it was time to use her skills to escape class.

Using a smoke bomb, she leaped away when the teacher was blinded in the smoke. She formed a handsign that she commonly used. She said softly, "Cat Transformation Jutsu" as she was transformed into a small feline. She was the same size as Aurora now. She meowed at her cat counter-part.

Her fur was the color of her hair and she now wore the vet tag as Aurora wore hers. She seemed to smile as she sat down next to Aurora. She then set off her recording that she placed in her locker. It said, "There you are! Aurora, Borealis, come." She and Aurora simultaneously bowed their heads at Kurenai as she inconspicuously scratched her symbol into one of the desks. Then, she began to escape- cutting class AND ditching the teacher.

[Yuuhi Kurenai]

Kurenai felt her temper rise. As soon as the smoke cleared she ran after the two cats. Kurenai had never been so mad at a student before. When she caught up to them she grabbed Katanai by the back of her neck and demanded for her to turn back into a human. Kurenai heard that Katanai was trouble from the other teachers but she didn't know it was true.

Kurenai didn't wait for Katanai to turn back to normal. She dragged her into the classroom and shut the door. "What were you thinking!?" Kurenai asked angerly. Kurenai took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

[Misarashi Katanai]

Before Kat knew it, she was being picked up in a scruff hold and carried into the classroom. She sighed. She was ready to take her punishment.

She looked at Kurenai and said reluctantly, "What'll it be this time, teach? Chakra over-strain practice? Writing inspirational phrases on the chalkboard? Being thrown into a room of little kids while in my cat form? I've been through it all. Ya know, if I weren't smart, you know, like the level of intelligence that you think I have, I wouldn't be in this school. I'd be in some ranky-pank school for dumb asses. But no! If you people would just stop being such a pain in I disagree, I could be in a honor's class by now! God!"

She then closed her eyes as she transformed back into her human form. She HATED being held as a cat by people she couldn't stand. She then looked at Kurenai with a glare of pure hatred. She could tell that this soft cookie just went hard.

[Yuuhi Kurenai]

Kurenai closed her eyes and sighed. "Katanai, maybe I came onto you a little hard..." She opened her eyes and looked at Katanai. "I won't give you a punishment as long as you behave."
Kurenai couldn't believe that she was letting this go but since Katanai was new she would let her off with a warning.

"But if you misbehave once more you will have the full punishment." Kurenai looked at the clock. She sighed and looked out the classroom window.

[Misarashi Katanai]

Katanai was still angered with Kurenai but decided to accept her lightness. "Kay..." she said glumly.

~INNER CONVERSATION TIME!!!!!!~

Katanai: "GR! SHE IS SOOOO ANNOYING!"

Inner Kat: "I know!"

Katanai: "I sooo wish that I was the inner one..."

Inner Kat: " -sigh- I guess I was just born lucky. ^-^

Katanai:"I hate teachers..."

Inner Kat: "They underestimate us frequently"

Katanai: "Why do you think I hate them!"

Inner Kat: "Tch. They need to learn to pay us some respect"

Katanai: "Totally"

Inner Kat: "Stay quiet for a little bit, kay? The bell's gonna ring soon"

Katanai: "Mmkays."

~END INNER CONVERSATION~

Katanai looked down at Aurora who seemed glad to not be in trouble. Katanai thought smiled sweetly and softly at her kitten companion as she waited for the bell.
