Renegado

Thunder struck and then came a small eep from a closet. Inside that closet was a boy named Haruki Satō. Thunder struck again and a scream cut through the air. Slowly someone came down to the closet and cracked it open. Seeing the little boy he swung the door open and with a knife the adult reeled back as if going to stab Haruki and then Haruki woke up.

Quickly sitting up in bed Haruki frantically checks over himself to assure that the dream was a dream. Just a tan boy with a mole under his eye and curly dark blue hair stuck to his face from sweat sat. There was nothing. Paranoid. He walks around the apartment and looks for anything out of place. 'The rooms are clean, no holes in any walls, Dad is Alive, but Ai isn't there.' Haruki thinks to himself as fear started to creep all ober his body. Haruki looks towards the window and sees that the sun is beaming down theough the window. He quickly checks his sister's clock and sees that it is 11 oclock in the afternoon. 'She has to be at the academy, right?' He thought to himself

Quickly Haruki tries to get ready; he haphazardly puts black pants on with one hand as he grabs a shirt. When his pants are pulled up he runs to the living room while he he puts on his shirt and grabs a black haori with cherry blossom on the bottom and grabs two bento boxes. Running as fast as he can he runs to the academy taking short cuts going around certain stall, even pushing a few people out of the way.

Until finally he is at the Academy. He goes to the steps and starts to run up them, taking two step at a time. When he gets to the second floor he looks for Ai's classroom. '203, 204, 205, 206 got it' Haruki thinks to himself as he glances at the door numbers. When he sees 206 he rushes to the door and knocks quickly 3 times. The door opens and reveals a tall, pale, slender woman with long black hair pulled to the back of her head in a high bun. No peice out of place with small, thin lips with a toxic red and a sharp gaze with black eyes that could cut a person. ' she looks nice' Haruki sarcastically thought to himself.

"How may I help you?" She asked as she stood infront of the door. Her voice cold and harsh as her eyes go narrow and she started to glare at Haruki.

"I came to give this to my sister" Haruki said as he held up a bento box.

"Who might she be?" She asked as she looked at the bento then back to her.

"Satō Ai" Haruki said as her glare peirced through his skin and he started to sweat at the back of his neck.

"Come in" the chunnin said as she moved from the door.

Haruki awkwardly walked in and stood in front of a class. He looks for his little sisters signature puff ball that sits upon her head and finds that she is sitting in the row furthest from the front.

"Well class, it seems that this boy wants to disturb my class" the chunnin said as she crossed her arms and gained a smug sort of look on her face as she looked down on Haruki.

--
"He wanted to give his dear sweet sister a bento, when everyone knows that they don't need food" The chunnin instructor said as her smug look turned into a snarl and she glared from Haruki to Ai in an instant. The class said nothing as some looked down and others grew a vindictive look on their face, looking from Haruku to Ai and back at Haruki. Haruki grew shocked as he hears and watches this revelation.

"Child of a snake, what have I told you time and time again, huh...... a monster doesn't get to eat." The chunnin instructor says as she slapps the bento out of Harukis hands before stomping on it shattering the plastic that held food. Haruki looked on flabbergasted.

The chunnin instructor grabbed Harukibby the ear and yanked his ear torwards her month and quietly said, "If I hear you or another demon spawns you call family knock on my door again you will wish you were never born. You're lucky I let that one into the room."
--

Haruki looked on shocked and worried that his sister was in this class for so long. Gaining a stoic expression. He looks at his sister and he sees that she was looking down. He makes a whistle, catching everyone's attention, and cocks his head torwards the door.

"Let's go" He says and turns torwards the door. He hears little foot falls come behind him in quick succession and feels a tug on his haori. He looks behind and sees the hand of his sister. He cracks a bit of a smile and walks out the door with his sister.

When they are out in the hallway Haruki asks," You want some dango?"

"When can I ever pass that chance up?" Ai said as she her face broke into a smile.

Haruki and Ai go to a dango shop close to the center of the village and Haruki grabs a container of miso Ramen To go from a different shop for Ai. He walks her home but on the way there he asks,"Is she always like that?"

"Who?"

"Your Chunnin instructor"

"She has her good days then her bad days. I would say that it's an even mix and this was a bad day." Ai said as she picked at the stick of her dango and looked everywhere but Haruki.

"You're lying" Haruki accused Ai as he looked down at her. They both know that it was not a one time or two time instance, but everyday that Ai doesn't skip. Haruki grows an empathetic expression as he realizes that his innocent little sister has to deal with

"It's okay, I swear" Ai said as she looked up at Haruki with a pleading look.

"No it's not" Haruki said as he continued to walk with her. He had this nagging feeling that it would only get worse.

"Yes it is, you're not the one going through it so you don't need to worry about it." Ai said in a loud voice as she sped up and walked faster.
"Not the one" Haruki muttered to himself, with a confused shock face. Memories ran through his head from having kids avoid him, to having older people spit and beat him. Older women and men grabbing him and throwing him to the ground just to kick and stomp on him and all he can do is take it.

"Okay"

They continue in a tense uncomfortable silence. Ai walking faster with her head down and Haruki walking slow with a sullen look and his head hanging low. He walks Ai home. On entrance Ai dashes to her room and slams the door. The apartment that they live in is nit that bad. Sure there are spiders feasting on the roaches, and the front door won't lock, along with the fact that there are multiple handles missing. But they call it home. A 2 bed and 1 bath apartment. Although, his father is gone. A normality that Haruki hates. Gone in the day but back at night, either drunk, high or both. 'Like a shitty batman.' Haruki thought to himself with a bitter smile. He goes to the kitchen to make Ai a bento. He makes her one with 3 tuna onigiri. He looked at the clock in the living room and sees it is 12. The exam is today. He makes a mad dash to the door and rums out, but not before trlling, "AI, I'M LEAVING, THERE'S A BENTO IN THE KITCHEN, LOVE YOU"

As he runs down the main road of the village he ducks and runs as fast as he can around people, shoving some of them out of his way. He goes under peoples legs and some yell obscene slurs and names but Haruki keeps on ducking and sprinting. He runs up the stairs taking 2 at a time before arriving at his classroom door and swinging the door opened. Somepeople look others don't but not a lot care.

Going to his seat he waits, worried.  Fear and dread buildimg in the pit of his stomach as he waits to see if he has chance to even pass. When Iruka comes in and yells,¨Nara Shikamaru¨. Haruki sighed in relief as he did not lose his chance.

Time Skip

¨Satō Haruki¨ Iruka says. Haruki follows Iruka into a different classroom and finds Iruka and a different guy sitting at a desk. Slowly walking to stand in front. The white haired chunin says, "Satō Haruki.. All you have to do is use Bunshin no jutsu to make 3 clones and use Kawarimi to pass. You may proceed."

Haruki takes a deep breath in,' Ram, Snake, Tiger' He thinks and does the hand seals, closes his eyes, then yells, "BUNSHIN NO JUTSU". He looks in front of and 3 almost perfect clones staring right back at him. The first one is paler and missing his beauty mark. The second one is the only that looks the closest. All of it is accounted to be the same as Haruki except for the facial structure. It has higher cheekbones than Haruki and a plumper face. The third one is truly the worst. He has to look down to even see it. A skinner deathly pale version of Haruki laid on the floor looking like it just got beaten up.

Haruki looks up and sees the critical look Iruka and the chunin are giving him. Three plums of smoke unanimously arise and the three clones are gone. Harukis heartbeat picks up and he hopes they don't hear and takes a deep breath.

'Tiger, Boar, Ox, Dog, Snake' He makes the hand seals,"KAWARIMI" and tries to switch with a chair. Instead of the chair behind him his switches with the piece of chalk beyond the two chunin.

At this point Haruki is mortified not only did he basically fail bunshin no jutsu he kind of failed kawarimi. Walking back to where he was before he stood in front of the chunin and hoped that he passed by.

"You..." "Pass"The white haired chunin starts but is cut off by Iruka. "No he doesn't, he did not do bunshin no Jutsu properly and instead of switching with a chair he switches with something behind us. He fails."
" Actually he passed because we never told him he had to switch with a chair and one of them did in fact look like him and he made three. Along with the fact that the written portion was exceptional. He passes. Choose your head band and come back tomorrow"

Quickly before any more objections Haruki chooses a headband and scrambles out of the room.
