Kismet

AU "Would anyone of you consider dating Sakura Haruno?" Unfortunately for Ino, her father won't allow her to date until her best friend got a boyfriend- which was probably never going to happen. Sakura x Multi

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and I don't own 10 things I hate about you. This story is based on it- although I've only watched the trailer I read it in imdb. It's a spin off of Shakspeare's "To tame a Shrew", and i'm only taking the girl can't date unless the other girl dates and the boy has to woo the girl concept. So it's a spin off of the story that's a spin off to another story. *head hurts*

Warnings: There might be some Omoi x Ino. Why? Because I want Shika all for Sakura. BWAHAH.

Enjoy

Chapter one: Mud Fight

Ino strut confidently through the halls, making sure she swayed her hips with the perfect amount of I-know-you-want-this. Yep, she had the entire school in the palm of her heads, all the girls trailing behind her in admiration, no teachers pestered her and the boys kissed the very ground she walked on. Oh, but she only had one boy in mind.

"Omoi." The name rolled off her tongue, fluently and seductively.

"Ah, Ino." He said her with just the same amount of seductiveness in it. "How've you been?"

"Oh, I've been good." She smirked. "Hey, prom's coming soon and I was just wondering…" She trailed off purposely, looking him straight in the eyes innocently.

"Hm, isn't it supposed to be the guy asking the girl?" Omoi asked teasingly.

Ino smirked again, "Not in this case."

"I like that about you, confident and zesty." Omoi announced before closing his locker and leaning on it. "I accept."

Ino resisted to scream in delight right then but kept her cool façade, "Great. Call you tonight, then." And she was off, making sure to add a little something to her little cat walk by lightly placing a hand on her hip.

Omoi smirked at her retreating back, his eyes drifting off a little further down than it should be.

-cue Sakura Haruno-

Sakura watched the whole bit while rolling her eyes. Typical Ino. She could probably take over the whole with a wink and a purse of her lips. Sakura's eyes narrowed at the thought, oh hell no, that was her job. Ino was her best friend, much to people's shock, but taking over the world was her idea.

She watched as a few people- mainly boys scurried away from her hastily upon seeing her menacing expression. It was a known fact that Sakura was the 'odd one out', unlike every girl in Konoha Academy who wore the latest trends and stuff, Sakura stuck to less cheap clothes like Gap and Children's place. Don't even make fun about that, it was cheaper and the clothes still fit her and there wasn't anything wrong with her liking the clothes better. And like every other girl in the school, who's lives revolved around boys, Sakura was known to repel all things that are male. It wasn't her fault they thought she was weird, it was just her. With a scoff, Sakura shrugged off her back pack and jammed it in her empty locker. She didn't understand why people had outrageously stuffed lockers- what did they put in it?

Sakura told herself not to fret about it. Two and half more excruciating years and she was gone. She was more than comfortable with people's teasing and antics around her. Sure she said some unnecessary stuff a lot, she was a accident prone, she had pink hair, had a second part to her that was extremely bitchy and other crap. That was still one side to her. Something no one at her school-except Ino have, would or never see. She was actually really beautiful, helpful, caring, tender, childish, loving, strong and smart when she got to it. Actually, save for the smart thing, everyone used her for it.

Sakura sighed and grabbed her binder and pencil case, holding them protectively to her chest as she weaved easily through the throng of students. It proved to be trouble free since some people stepped out of her way. Ah, another known fact that Sakura was a danger magnet. Which was the reason people avoided picking her for their teams, ignore her during activities and always bombarded her with 'good job!' even though their eyes said 'what a freaking dipshit' at gym.

Sakura groaned. Yeah, gym, second period.

…And to Sakura's dismay, first period went by extremely fast- English honours. That was probably the only thing people admired about her, her brains. It was probably one of the reasons she ALWAYS had people savaged her, asking to be her partner for projects, group assignments and such. Pa-thet-ic.

But that wasn't her current issue. No, it was gym. Sakura groaned when she walked back to her locker, getting her gym bag out. She slung it around her shoulders and walked silently to the gym. She pouted when she finally reached the dusty and large room. That only benefit she came from it was that is was so huge whatever you say it echoed. And whenever everyone got out of gym, going to their next classes, Sakura would lag behind yelling to her heart's content.

Sakura furrowed and stuck her tongue out behind her gym teacher's backs and proceeded to the change room. Taking out her gym clothes, which has been reused from the last two years, she discreetly put them on and went out.

Lots of people were doing summersaults, break dancing or just fooling around making Sakura suddenly feet lost. She idly stood by, a few feet by the girls changing room door and waited until the rest of her classmates got out and the gym teachers started talking.

"Alright people, we're going outside." Gai announced. Echo.

There were choruses of cheers and exclamations and Sakura couldn't help but grin wildly. The liked gym outside, more space and it meant they were taking a break from the basketball, volleyball crap they usually did.

"I mean how can we deny the gracious sunny skies the weather had oh so youthfully graced us with?" Gai continued and suddenly everyone's cheers died out into groans. Sakura suddenly remembered the con of the echoing she finds amusing. "It's our job to youthfully bask in the golden heat with the utmost youthfulness to thank the skies for the youthful weather."

"Gai, I think they've heard enough." Everyone beamed once Kakashi came to their rescue.

Sakura inwardly sighed. Kakashi-sensei, good ol'Kakashi sensei. He was her favorite teacher so far- and she actually had a close relationship with him. The only reason she pulls through each damned 55 minutes of gym each two days. He was also her AP history teacher.

"Eh? You can never hear enough proclamations of youth! It's good to the youthful soul-"

"Can we just tell them what they're going to be doing for gym?" Kakashi deadpanned. "You're wasting time."

Sakura instantly wanted Gai to go on, spouting about youth. Heaven knows it would be good for her and him. Unfortunately things didn't go her way when Gai sighed, defeated. "Alright, today we're going to be doing obstacles! Stations! And track!" Gai exclaimed, waiting for people's reactions. He faltered when he didn't get the ones he hoped for.

"What are we? Elementary again?" Someone yelled. People started voicing their agreements.

"Regardless," Kakashi spoke up, "You're going to do the activities that we planned. If it helps you can pick groups of 5 yourselves instead of getting them assigned."

Everyone immediately cheered. Everyone but Sakura. Great, She thought sardonically. The same process is gonna happen again and again until I graduate school which isn't in two and a half years to come. People are gonna go to the friends while Sakura is left watching them associate with each other and completely avoid her. Then when everyone was paired up, Kakashi or Gai had to wedge her into an uncertain and peeved group.

"Naruto, Sasuke and Sai. Is it okay if Sakura here joins your group?" Kakashi asked them.

Sakura grinned cheekily for effect, but inside she was rolling her eyes at the group.

Naruto grinned, "Sure! Of course Sakura-chan can join us!"

Sakura gaped at him. No way. Someone was actually accepting her as a normal human person- into their group…AT GYM no less. A bright smile made it's way on her face. Until it immediately disappeared when she saw Sai nudge him non to gently on the side. Disappointment ran trough her. Story of her life and it began with her pet fish dying- after a week.

She had brought her pet fish- Pocky to show in tell and during recess, some idiot classmate of her took it out for his pet kitty (who he brought to show and tell) to play with. She was going to stop there. Poor Pocky…

She watched when Sai and Sasuke gave her and Naruto disapproving looks. Maybe Naruto was socially awkward like her? But if so…then how on earth did he become friends with the most popular guy in school, Sasuke Uchiha?

Ah, Sasuke Uchiha. She remembered having a major crush on him up until he was 13...then he started going puberty. Which made him a TOAL JERK. Sakura groaned, yet he still had more than half of the female school population pretend they're having sex with a picture they took while stalking him! Again, PATHETIC.

"Good." Kakashi patted Sakura on the head much like a dog.

"Don't cosset me Kakashi." Sakura sneered playfully, playing the part of a pestered dog.

"Ah, it was much better before you started growing a brain for sarcasm and come backs." Kakashi commented, "Well, good luck…try not to kill your self."

"You senile old man! I'll vomit on you the next time I see you!" Sakura shouted after him. She turned back to catch a part of Sai's sentence.

"…you see why no one likes her?" He whispered.

Sakura scoffed, used to the treatment, "You are a jerk. Make sure that when you talk crap about me IM NOT THERE…unless of course that's your intention! Then by all means, continue- just know I'll stick a shoelace down your vagina if you do."

The three blanched at her sick threat. Naruto was beginning to understand why everyone ignored. But have no fear! He was willing to befriend her because that's how kind and caring he is. The fact that she looked sort of cute had nothing to do with that matter.

"If you must know, I have a dick and it's quite large. Unless you don't know what the is." Sai retorted.

"Yeah, whatever. I already saw your mom's. So, are we going to stay here and wait until a bison crashes down on us and possibly kill Sai?" Sakura asked impatiently.

"Er…yeah." Naruto muttered, "Well come on!" He hooked arms with Sakura, making the girl cringe. "Let's not keep a lady waiting."

Sasuke snorted and Sai was smiling. What lady?

Naruto started racing outside, Sakura in tow and it was then that Sakura noticed. His bright, spiky golden locks gently pulled back with the wind they created around them by their speed revealing sparkling honest and big blue eyes. His sun kissed skin was fair and the whisker like tattoo's on the sides of his face added a kind of rough and manly look. Sakura was in glee. Her grin was genuine and happy and her eyes were wide with amusement. That was until Naruto skidded to a stop making Sakura shoot forward and stumble into a puddle of mud.

Everyone was laughing and it didn't help that Naruto was looking at her confusingly. Her sudden attraction to him all gone, making Sakura shudder in disgust at her previous feelings.

"Ha! The alien girl got served!" Karin snickered along everyone.

Sakura flushed before inner took over. In an instant, the rosette's arm shot out and pull Karin into the mud with her- the painful screech proved that.

"YOU BITCH!" Karin lunged at her.

"Whore!" Sakura retorted, gripping her arms trying to push Karin back.

"Damn…" Someone said.

Sakura's clothes clung to her like second skin as she wrestled with her ultimate enemy since high school first started. It showed the curves and…developments no one has ever seen. If people thought that Karin was hot, Sakura looked damn sexy. Until Sakura's bad luck with people kicked in and she screamed, "I'm going to rip all your fucking hair out and stuff it in your precious Sasuke-kun's asshole!"

Everyone immediately backed away, forgetting their previous thoughts about the girl.

Sasuke glared and Naruto was laughing.

She was insane. She was that geek that was born to be accepted by other unfortunate people like her. She was shunned out by society. No parents but her adoptive mom. No friends but Ino- who was way beyond her. No looks, her bangs covered her face like a sheepdog. And t would stay like that forever.

"What's going on here?!" Gai boomed. He gasped when he saw the two girls duking it out in the mud. "What have you done! How unyouthful to disrespect nature like that!"

Kakashi groaned before pulling Sakura away from the red headed girl. Sighing when he got muddy as well.

"Let me at her! I didn't even get a single strand!" Sakura growled out, moving about in Kakashi's arms.

"That's enough, Sakura." Kakashi said sternly and all of a sudden inner disappeared.

"Oh…crapstickles." Sakura mumbled.

Kakashi sighed, "Inner?"

Sakura answered by looking sheepish. "I'll get you back in, you can shower in the staff room if you want?"

Sakura looked down, "Thanks. I take back the vomit comment, by the way…"

Kakashi chuckled, "I'll hold you to that."

------

"You actually did that?" Ino gasped, "To Karin!? Of all girls! You know she can ruin you with one text message."

"Well…It's not as if I have anything to lose." Sakura mumbled, twirling a strand of her pink hair.

Ino sighed, "Yeah, well. I need your help!"

"What is it?" Sakura stared at her concerned, "You sound really frantic!"

"I need you to stay with me when I asked my dad if I could go on a date with Omoi this fr-"

Sakura clucked her tongue, "Sorry. I know Inoichi. He's going to blow and he might take me down with you."

"You know daddy won't do that!" Ino exclaimed, "He loves you more than me!" She didn't sound fretted by saying that. Inoichi loved them both equally. Same with Inna, Ino's mom. Ever since Ino became friends with Sakura, they were inseparable and Inna just found that adorable. She found Sakura adorable! And Inoichi was protective for them both, Sakura-for the teasing and Ino from the boys.

"That's because I don't date. I repulse all male- and female. And frankly I don't care." Sakura stuck her tongue out.

"Please!!" Ino pleaded.

"Why do you need me, anyway?!" Sakura demanded.

"I need moral support. Your sarcasm and laid back attitude always soothes me, you know." Ino confessed.

"Fine." Sakura sighed. "He's going to castrate a cow when he finds out."

Ino cringed, "Don't remind me."

Sakura beamed, "Hey, we're almost there! I can see your house!"

Ino sighed when Sakura started jumping excitedly. When they finally reach Ino's gate, Sakura shot forward and ran through the open door right into the arms of Ino's mom.

"Inna, I smell cookies!"

Inna chuckled, hugging her daughter's best friend before pulling her into the kitchen. "Blueberry flavoured."

Sakura beamed, "Yeah! Your secret recipe! Did you know I was coming?"

Inna smiled before getting out a tray of freshly baked cookies and bringing it to the pink haired girl, "No. But I do have something for you!"

Sakura stared at her curiously, ignoring Ino when she entered the kitchen with a sigh. Inna greeted her daughter, "Ino, darling! Where's the gift I got Sakura yesterday?"

"It's in the pantry," Ino smirked when she saw Sakura's face clit in anticipation.

Inna shuffled into the pantry and came out holding an all too familiar box.

"POCKYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Sakura screamed before rushing over the jump onto her best friend's mom. "You're the best!"

"I know, aren't I?" Inna laughed before handing the girl the snack. Sakura held it with the utmost care.

"Yeah, yeah. Sakura we've got some business to do."

Sakura nodded, placing Pocky-san in her backpack before following Ino into the living room where Inoichi, Ino's father was. Sakura made sure to grab a few cookies and flash a smile at Inna.

"Daddy!" Ino exclaimed before hugging Inoichi.

"Ino, there's my girl. Oh and you've brought Sakura along too!" Inoichi smiled as Sakura joined in the father daughter hug.

"Listen Daddy…I have something to ask you."

Inoichi's happy expression immediately faltered. Sakura shuffled to sit onto the couch while munching away on her cookies. Things were not going to be pretty.

"Yes, Ino, dearest?"

"I was wondering…if I would go on a date with-"

Before Ino could finish, Inoichi's nostril flared and his mouth was pursed into a very firm thin line.

"No."

"But daddy! Omoi has agreed to meet beforehand to gain your acceptance! Isn't he just so responsible?" Ino said the last part to herself, with a dreamy sigh.

"Really?" Inoichi said in mock surprise, "I don't think he'd be willing to after we have a man to man talk-"

"So you will meet him!?" Ino asked with hope.

"That's not what I said."

Ino pouted, "Please Daddy! I'm 16 now! I can drive and in two years I won't be a little girl! You always say that someday I'm going to have to grow up, being in a relationship is part of that!"

Inoichi looked at her, his expression firm-until he broke out in a grin. "Sure, you can go on a date with him."

Ino looked delighted.

"BUT!"

She faltered.

"Not before Sakura gets a boyfriend." Oh, Inoichi was very aware of Sakura tendencies with boys…or humans for the matter.

"WHAT?!" Sakura and Ino yelled.

"You heard me."

"That's not fair! You know that Sakura's never going to get a boyfriend!"

"Gee, thanks."

"Exactly, that's the point."

"Wow!"

"How cruel! It's so unfair because we both know Sakura's never going to date." Ino emphasized.

"Damn it, does everyone have so little faith in me?"

"Like I said. That's the POINT."

"Ugh, never mind."

"Fine!" Ino huffed before pulling Sakura out of the room. Sakura grinned at Inoichi, "Bye Inoichi!"

"Bye Sakura!" He called back, an approving smirk on his face. He just loved Sakura- especially since because of her, his daughter wasn't going to date…or maybe even marry.

"Ugh! I can't believe him!" Ino yelled in frustration.

Sakura sighed, "Don't be so mad. I know you. You're probably going to sneak off with that guy no matter what."

Ino frowned "No, ever since last time when I did that. Daddy's friend saw me and told him and now he's making Shikamaru and Choji watch over me- and since they have a huge group of friends that are all over the place I can never get away with it."

Sakura twitched. "Listen, I gotta go back home now. Mom is waiting with a bowl of popcorn and a dvd of Cinderella Story." Sakura paused before giving Ino a smile. "You know I'd help you if I could. Bye."

Ino greeted her bye before looking at a picture of Sakura and her when they were seven.

"You'd know I'd help you if I could…" Ino repeated Sakura's previous words. An idea popped in her head, "Perfect. I know the perfect way you can help me, Sakura." Her eyes glinted mischievously before grabbing her cell phone. "Omoi. I got a favour to ask you."

Bwahaha, I'm thinking about watching 10 Things I Hate About You to see how things turn out.........humz.

Anyway, Review please for the upcoming chapters! I want at least 10 reviews for this…and here's a preview to motivate you :D

-start preview-

"You seriously want one of us to date that alien?" Kiba exclaimed.

"No way, I've seen her in the hallways and in class. She's the definition of creepy."

Omoi sighed, "Please, do it for me guys?"

All of them shook their heads in unison. It was clear their minds weren't going to change any time soon.

So there was only one chance. Man, how could he not have thought of it before?! It was too perfect! I mean…all he needed was find someone equally…eccentric as Sakura. And he had 8 of them in mind. Akatsuki.

-end preview- Do it for the Akatsuki!
