The day was perfect today. The sun was shining high in the sky, the birds were chirping, flowers were in bloom, the wind was blowing a gentle, cool breeze, there wasn't a cloud in the sky. To top it off, today was Valentines Day.
The day was perfect, though the only thing wrong with today, was that it was Friday, and a school day.
Sasuke and Naruto sat beside the open window, both lined along the wall. The wind was blowing gently on their faces as the sweltering class room had no air of its own.
At the front of the class, Kurenai-sensei was giving the lecture about the psychological foundation of the human mind, or something like that. Sasuke's eyes wandered around the class, trying to find something of interest, seeing practically everyone either sleeping, or just off in their own little world.
It wasn't until then, that he saw that someone was actually paying attention, not only that, but taking notes of this lecture.
Hinata Hyuuga. One of the most studious students in all of Konoha high. She was the most intelligent girl in all of the school.
She'd noticed that Sasuke was looking at her, and came eye to eye with her. Immediately, Hinata's eyes darted away quickly from his.
Sasuke had noticed before that Hinata would avoid him, whether it was just a glance, of if they ran into each other in the hall. Hinata would go out of her way to make sure that they didn't meet.
Naruto was trying not to look around the room, since he was trying to avoid someone of his own.
He kept his head turned out the window, though he could feel eyes, staring at him. He felt a burning sensation in the back of his head as someone continued to stare.
And against his better judgment, Naruto slowly turned his head and was her. He had been right, she was definitely staring at his, most intently.
Sakura Haruno. The one girl in the entire school that had an obsessive crush on Naruto. She was also his personal stalker. Not to any serious extremity, really, she just followed him around a lot.
At first, Naruto thought it had been cute, but that was at first. After a while, it got slightly awkward, and now, it was just creepy.
As the class slowly dragged on, Sasuke eventually ended up face down on his desk. While Naruto leaned further and further back into his chair that he ended up staring at the wall behind him.
There was a low bell ringing, and a voice boomed from the P.A. system. "ALL MALE STUDENTS! PLEASE REPORT TO THE MAIN AUDITORIUM! I REPEAT! ALL MALE STUDENTS PLEASE REPORT TO THE MAIN AUDITORIUM! THAT IS ALL." Sasuke sat up and turned to Naruto, "what do you think that's about?" he asked. Before Naruto was able to reply, the speakers blared again and another announcement came on, "ALL FEMALE STUDENTS ARE TO REMAIN IN THEIR CLASS! ANY FEMALE STUDENT FOUND ANYWHERE NEAR THE AUDITORIUM BEFORE THEY ARE CALLED WILL BE SEVERELY AND THUROUGHLY PUNISHED! THAT IS ALL."
Naruto looked at Sasuke and simply shrugged. At the front of the room, Kurenai closed the book she had been reading from, "alright, you heard the idiot… I mean principal. All male students to the auditorium." Sasuke looked around the room, each guy there looked confused, as they gathered their things and headed out of the room.
The students filed into the auditorium, and as requested, only male students were seen enter the auditorium.
The huge stage at the end of the auditorium had the curtains drawn as the guys filled in each available seat.
Naruto leaned over and tapped on the shoulder of one pineapple shaped head kid, "Hey, Shikamaru! Any idea of what's going on?" Shikamaru thought for a second before saying, "Beats me," Naruto sighed, he should have known that it would be pointless to ask a student. "But" Shikamaru said, "I can say that whatever this is about, it'll be something stupid. Very stupid. And troublesome."
Once every guy in the school had taken a seat, the doors to the auditorium had shut, and the lights began to dim.
Slowly, the curtains began to part, revealing an empty stage. Then, a tall, elderly man with long white hair, stepped out from behind the curtain, "Good morning boys!" he called out to the crowd. "Good morning, Jiraiya-sama," the guys said in a dull and uninterested tone.
Jiraiya stood on stage with a broad, idiotic smile. That's how the boys knew whatever this was about, it could only be bad.
Every student… no, every person in Konoha, knew that Jiraiya was famous for two things. One was that his ideas were so stupid, he made Naruto look intelligent, and second was that he was a first class pervert. That told the boys that whatever was going to happen, it was going to be stupid and/or perverted.
"Ahem!" Jiraiya said to gain the attention of everyone. "Now, as you al know, today is Valentine's Day, and yet no one in this school is celebrating the joys of love!"
Not one person had a clue as to what Jiraiya was talking about, but none of them could deny that he was right. Neither Sasuke nor Naruto had once today seen so much as a card exchange hands.
"So! The student body president and I had a meeting, and we both have come up with a brilliant idea!" there was a moment of silence, and in that moment, the entire auditorium shuddered. The thought of the student body president always made the boys shudder, now the president and the principal working together to come up with a plan. That would make anyone shudder.
"So, to give you the information on this ingenious plan is your class president, Miss Ino Yamanaka!"
Every guy in the room broke out in a cold sweat. Each guy pictured their class pres, the biggest flirt in all of Konoha. A girl, who'd been with about half the guys in this room, some of them actually by force. And with a principal like Jiraiya at her side, who knows what they would come up with.
From behind the curtain, emerged a young girl, who could have been described in one word. Sluttish.
One reason was that, while this school had a uniform policy, the pres made a few alterations to her own uniform. The uniform consisted of a skirt, a blouse, and a school jacket, but the pres thought that was too plain. Firstly, the school jacket had had the sleeves removed, showing every inch of her smooth, soft skin. Her blouse had been altered to give it a low cut, revealing an excess amount of cleavage. It had also been altered to show her bare midriff.
Though the most eye-catching thing about this uniform, was the skirt, which had been shortened. Usually the uniform, consisted of a skirt that was knee-length, though the pres, had hers and mid thigh length. So short that a small gust of wind would have given each boy a clear view of her panties.
Her attitude seemed way too perky as she bound her way onto the stage.
Ino beamed widely at the crowd. At that moment, each guy in the auditorium, felt a cold shiver run up and down their spines. They all averted their eyes, not wanting to stare at Ino, since she was… for lack of a better word, bi-polar.
Though she dressed the way she did, to get the guys attention, whenever anyone looked, even at a passing glance, she would chew them out fiercely. She was difficult to read, and luckily, no one tried to, and since Ino was single, each guy in the school prayed for the boy that had the "privilege" of dating the lovely Ino.
With an excited tone, Ino called out to the boys, "Good~ Morning, Boys!" she cried. The boys showed no kind of excitement in their response. "So, like Jiraiya-sensei said, the two of us have come up with an idea to give this school a little romance boost." The majority of the boys gulped in fear of… whatever these two would think of.
"Okay! Now, before I reveal our plan," Ino clapped her hands and the curtains still covering the side of the stage parted. From the curtains, came several teachers, each carrying a box. "I would like each boy to take one of the items from within the box as it comes to you."
Each boy looked suspicious of what could have been in the box.
As the boxes circulated around the room, Sasuke saw that whatever it was that filled the box, was a small and silver circlet. Sort of like a bracelet.
Once the box reached Sasuke and Naruto, they each realized that it was a bracelet.
"Now that you each have a bracelet, please, place it on your right wrist. If you happen to be in a relationship, place the bracelet on your left wrist." Each boy complied and placed the bracelet on their wrist. "Have you all placed your bracelets on your wrists?" Ino asked. The crowd again, reacted unenthusiastically.
"Good." Ino said, with a mischievous smile on her face. Immediately, she took a small remote from her skirt pocket and clicked the button, causing the bracelets to make a small clicking sound. Sasuke wrenched at the bracelet, but to no avail, it wouldn't budge.
"Ahem!" Ino called, trying to gain the crowds attention. Though that didn't seem to be happening. "Ahem!" she called again, but still no luck. Each boy was freaking out about the bracelet.
Now, Ino was pissed. "HEY!!! Pay attention!" she shrieked the anger in her voice reached each boy, and brought them back to attention. "Ahem, as I was saying. Each of you is now wearing a bracelet. And as of now, those bracelets have been locked. Now, they can't be unlocked unless you know how." Ino said, with a self satisfied look on her face.
"Now, as for the reason…"
Back in the classroom, the girls had decided on taking a break from their studies. Kurenai-sensei had taken an interest in a small orange book that her colleague Kakashi had loaned her. Telling her that it was, "a must read book."
In the classroom, the girls were spending their time differently. Hinata, seemed to be spending her time, studying, though if looked at from a different angle, Hinata could be seen reading the same little orange book as her sensei. She'd swiped the book from her father's collection, and had brought it along to read.
Though the book might have been a bit too much for her. While she'd been reading, she'd fainted momentarily, twice.
Sakura, sitting in the back of the room, was face down at her desk, sleeping. Dreaming sweetly of Naruto.
While the rest of the class simply chatted and visited.
Though it was immediately shattered, as the girls were interrupted by a faint, distant scream, coming from the direction of the auditorium.
After the scream faded away, the bell toll once again and another announcement was made, this time addressing the girls, "At this time, will all female students please report to the auditorium." Every single girl in that class had the same thought at once, 'Crap!'
As the girls filed into the auditorium, the boys were coming out. They all seemed to have become nothing but a shell of their former selves, slumped over slightly and walking in a unison, like zombies. Only when they noticed the girls did they have some kind of reaction, it was reaction of fear, and nervousness. This didn't seem to ease the girls' attitude towards whatever was coming up.
Once all of the girls were in the auditorium, Ino came out and began to make the announcement. "Okay, girls, here's the deal, it's Valentines Day, and there's no love in this school! So, to spark things up a bit, we'll be having something special today!" the girls began to converse among themselves, all unsure and wondering what Ino had planned.
"Ahem!" Ino said, trying to get the attention of the girls, who were much more courteous than the boys. They silenced right away. Ino smiled and continued with her announcement, "so, some of you may have noticed, that as the boys were leaving, they all had a red bracelet on their right wrist." The girls started up once again, not many of them had noticed, but those that did were suddenly spreading it around.
"Now! To remove each bracelet, you must turn a small knob on the underside of the bracelet. To do this, you must pull the knob out and turn it clockwise twice and push it back in." Ino said, as she demonstrated on the bracelet she'd picked up.
When she turned and pushed the tiny knob, the bracelet opened.
"Now, if you all are ready, we will begin!" Ino cried. Though Ino said to begin, no one had a clue as to what she meant.
Out in the audience, Hinata raised her hand, "um… what are we doing with this?" she asked.
"Oh! Right, after you remove the bracelet, place it on your left wrist before the end of this school day. Now, begin!" still, no one moved.
"What's going on?! I said begin!" Ino shouted, Sakura stood up and asked, "So what's the point of this?"
Ino let out an annoyed sigh, "I already said, to spread romance! Now begin!" she shouted, "yeah," Sakura said, "you mentioned that, but you didn't say how!" for a moment, Ino was silent, before she snapped her fingers, "of course! My mistake, I forgot to mention it." Everyone in the room sighed, how Ino became the class president was a mystery to them.
"Right, so, the bracelet's can be detected by a monitor I'll be managing. This lets us keep track of which boys have lost their bracelets and which are still up for grabs. And since any girl can take any guys bracelet this lets us know whose bracelet it is" Ino said, with a huge smile, "oh! And the girl, who steals a bracelet, will be seen as a couple in the eyes of the students, as well as the faculty and student council."
In an instant the room of girls squealed in response. A chance for them to be with any girl they wanted. Sakura had only one person on her mind, so did Hinata.
"Well, if there are no more questions, lets begin!"
Okay, thanks for reading this new story I've put up, it may only be three chapters, so it should be up and complete soon. For the record, it was inspired by the Valentines episode from Code Geass, though I tweaked it a bit. Anyway, thanks for reading so please review. Later!
