chapterone!: the LETTER
author's note: Muahaha. New story! Do you remember this from my page (before I changed it into an absolute fabulous, bold/italics/underlines-filled page)? Well… May 1st is Angela's birthday, and she told me she wanted this story out, I decided to dedicate this whole story to her. (I like dedicatin' stuff… Sue me!) I wouldn't be writing this if you hadn't told me! (;

"Oi! Forehead!" Ino waved at her pink-haired best friend, her arm intertwined with a black-haired boy's. "Over here!"
The said girl turned around, smiling a bright smile before running over to the girl. It was after school, and they were in the yard, like usual, waiting for each other. Sai and Ino had their last classes together, so they were together when Sakura found them.
"Hey, pig!" She smiled at them. Ino's arm was intertwined with Sai's and Ino's head laid on his shoulder.
"Hi, Sai," She greeted once she got to them. Before Sai could open his mouth, she interrupted him, "Don't say it."
Because she knew he would say, "Hello, Ugly."
She didn't appreciate being called Ugly, thank you very much.
"What are you doing after school?" Ino asked, taking her head off his shoulder and staring at Sakura with an accusing stare.
"Homework, Ino, homework." Sakura answered, not faltering under her stare. "Something you don't do."
"Jesus Christ, Sakura!" Her arms flew up in the air in exasperation. "You haven't dated in life and all you think about is freaking homework!"
"Ino…" She started. "All you think about are guys! You have to do your homework sometime! I mean, how are you supposed to make a living?"
"Hey! What about that Uchiha that tutors you in English?" Ino wiggled her eyebrows, changing the subject quickly. "He's pretty hot. I mean, he's sexy, girl."
"Ino!" She exclaimed. "That's insensitive to Sai, don't you think?"
"…Wait. Did you say Uchiha?" Ino nodded. She looked at her watch. "Holy shit! I'm supposed to be at his place in five minutes for the tutoring! See ya!"
And Sakura ran off.

"Good afternoon, Mikoto!" Sakura greeted, bowing.
"Sakura-chan!" Mikoto exclaimed, wrapping her arms around the young girl. "Sasuke-chan's upstairs in his room. You can go see him."
"Thanks!"
Sakura ran up the stairs, dragging her bag with her hand. She knocked on Sasuke's door, and then standing impatiently in front of the door. She was practically failing English, and Sasuke was her only chance since her was particularly good in English.
The door opened, revealing a boy (man, of course) without a shirt. Sakura flushed, turned away and looked down.
"Sakura?"
She quickly looked up, her face beet red and nodded meekly. "I-It's Monday; you're tutoring me."
"Hn."
He stepped aside for her to get in the room before he shut the door behind her. She sat down on the chair next to his desk, and he commenced in tutoring her.
-

"…so where would that semi-colon go?" Sasuke asked, pointing at the paper with the mechanical pencil.
"Hi guys!" Mikoto sang. "Dinner time! Sakura, I called your mother and you're staying for dinner."
"Oh, thank you for having me over, Mikoto!" Sakura smiled; Mikoto was always this nice to her.
Mikoto left, and she turned back to her tutor. "Okay, Sasuke-kun. Thanks." She took all her books from the desk and stuffed them into the bag along with her pencil case. Sasuke was already at the door, waiting for her.
They went downstairs and sat down.
"Guess what, Sakura-chan!" Mikoto exclaimed, grinning like a child. "Sasu-cakes is going to Konoha High starting tomorrow! You could show him around the school, ne, Sakura-chan?"
Sakura snapped her head towards Mikoto. "What?"
"Yeah! Sasu-cakes is attending the same school as you starting tomorrow!" Mikoto's eyes were shining brightly.
"Of course I'll show him around!"
"Oh, oh! Sakura-chan! Why don't you come over here tomorrow morning and you guys could walk to school together, okay?"
"Uh, su—"
"Kaasan…" Sasuke butted in with a warning tone. Sakura was no one special to him; he was simply her tutor. He didn't even consider her as a friend. Walking school together—his new school—would definitely make people think something was going on between them.
"Oh, hush, Sasu-cakes! It's alright, right, Sakura-chan? You'll come and walk to school with my boy!"
Sasuke glared at his mother.
"Sure."
-
-
"Thanks, Sasuke-kun." She smiled at him before going into the house, waving him goodbye then going into the house.
"I'm home, kaasan!"
Sakura ran to her room, leaving her bag on the floor. Quickly, she turned on her computer and started checking her e-mails. There was five from Ino, six from Naruto and one from Karin. HOLD ON. Why did Karin send her an e-mail? She clicked on it, curiosity kicking her.
From: Kobayashi Karin
To: Haruno Sakura
Subject: (no subject)
HA! You opened the letter!
I'm your worst nightmare. I'm god. You will succumb to my power if you don't send this letter to at least 20 people in the next 30 minutes. Whilst catching you off guard, I will kill you mercilessly and drain you of life. That is the only way you will be able to save your life. By the way, I'm watching you. Remember: I am god.
You are now cursed. If you don't send this to 20 people in the next 30 minutes, he'll kill you. (;
She deleted it without another thought. Naruto used to send her these things all the time. It never happened. The first one she got was a love chain. Of course it didn't work. She stopped believing them after three tries.
She turned off the computer and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, she awoke. Her blurry eyes traveled their way to her digital clock on the bedside table. It read 3:20. She groaned and rolled over, her face facing the wall. Her hands went to her hair and tangled her fingers in her pink locks. They pulled them back; out of her face.
Then, she swore she heard her window bang open and shut in two fucking seconds.
Rapidly, she turned around to look. There was absolutely nothing. Her eyes went from the desk, to her closet, to her door; which was closed. Nothing was there. She didn't hear anything else, so with her heart pounding, she turned around and went back to sleep; the covers pulled up to her chin.
I'm hearing things. I'm hallucinating.
She heard footsteps. She switched her position again to look at the desk, the closet and the door. Nothing… again. She didn't turn back to the wall; afraid that if she did, she'd heard something again.
Her eyes were getting droopy and she yawned. But just as she was about to close her eyes, something flew by.
I'm hallucinating again. It's because I'm tired.

Sakura opened her eyes to a bright sunlight.
Her alarm was beeping noisily. She groaned, smacked her hand down on the top of the clock and then rolled out of bed to get ready. She brushed her teeth, got out her uniform to wear and ran downstairs for breakfast. She stuffed a muffin in her mouth, because blueberry muffins were simply delicious and before she could sling her bag over her shoulder, her mother talked.
"Sakura-chan, I heard from Mikoto that Sasuke-kun is coming to your school today. Are you walking to school with him?" Her mother was smiling sweetly at her, enjoying her coffee.
"Yeap, kaasan! I'm going there right now. Mikoto asked me to show him around and walk to school with him." Sakura grinned at her mom.
"Oh, alright. Have fun!"
She slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out the door, waving to her mom. Her mom and Mikoto were quite good friends. They were also neighbors. Even so, she and Sasuke were not as good as you'd think they were.
She knocked on the door. Fugaku, in a suit, opened the door, briefcase in his hand. He nodded at her, "Good morning, Sakura." She bowed, her hands on her thighs, holding her bag. "Good morning, Fugaku-san."
He walked past her and Mikoto came into view.
"Oh, Saku-chan! You came!" She turned around and called up the stairs, "Sasu-chan! Saku-chan is here! Come downstairs!"
Sasuke didn't answer and Mikoto took that as a yes. Sasuke came downstairs, his uniform on him and a bag casually slung over his shoulder. Oh my god! He looks so hot in his uniform!
"Let's go, Sasuke-kun, ne?" She smiled at him before tugging at his hand lightly.

"Oh! Sasuke-kun! You have almost all your classes with me; except for Japanese History and English!" She pointed at his paper. "Aww, that's too bad. Japanese History is the most boring class and I fail at English… And you're my English tutor!"
He nodded, not really listening to her.
"Well, we're here!" Sakura smiled. "My first class is Japanese History. I'll show you to… your English class."
She walked him to his English class before going into hers.
"Hey, Forehead!" Ino greeted once she sat down, putting her books down. "I totally saw that! That hot, hot Uchiha was with you when you walked to school! Tell me! Did he walk you to school because you guys are secretly dating?"
Sakura rested her head on her hand. She sighed and waved a hand in Ino's face. "Ino! Stop jumping to conclusions! He transferred here!"
"And you coincidentally walk to school with him?" Ino smirked.
"Ino! What the hell? We're neighbors! And for your information, his mom asked me to show him around school. Plus, I have almost every class with him except for Japanese History and English."
"Doesn't he tutor you in English?"
"Yes! He does!" She turned to the board. "Too bad he can't be in my English class; that's the subject I need him to be there in! He might have like, I don't know, studying tips!"
"Studying tips? Seriously, Sakura. You just need to listen better, or study more. You don't need him."
"Yeah, yeah."
Silence fell in between them for a while. "Hey, Sakura." Sakura turned to her blonde best friend. "What's his name?"
-
-
Sakura and Sasuke were walking to the cafeteria. Sakura was asking about how his English class went, since that was the only class she wasn't in with him since the beginning of the day. Of course, he answered with a graceful grunt.
"Hey, Sakura-chan!" Naruto waved over to her. "Sasuke-teme?"
Sakura looked at Naruto and sat down next to him, Sasuke on her other side. "You know Sasuke, Naruto?"
"Hn. Dobe."
"HELL YEAH! He's the fucking bastard who cheated at Mortal Kombat at the arcade! Fucking loser..." Naruto shouted, pointing an accusing finger at him.
"I didn't cheat. You just suck." Sasuke scoffed.
"You guys met at an arcade?" They both nodded. "And you've been talking to each other ever since?" They nodded again. "WELL. I'll be damned! Sasuke-kun can make friends at a public place!"
Sasuke glared at her. "Hey! Guys! Look, there's Hinata! And Ino! And Sai! And everybody else!"
Naruto and Sasuke stopped their glaring contest and turned to look at everybody coming to their table. Ino and Sai were happily flirting with each other; Hinata was looking at Naruto while blushing, Neji and Tenten had their hands intertwined.
Everyone sat down and looked at Sasuke.
"Who is that?" Neji finally asked, looking at the boy. (man, mind you, Neji!)
"That's Uchiha Sasuke-teme!" Naruto introduced. "He's that guy, you know, that cheated at Mortal Kombat at the arcade… That jerk, bastard… You know!?"
"No, I don't know, Naruto." Neji turned to Sasuke. "Well, nice to meet you, I guess... Uchiha-san."
"Uchiha? Isn't that the famous business company? Aren't you a freakin' millionaire!?" Tenten gasped.
"Hn."
"Sakura, can I ask you, did he just grunt?" Tenten averted her gaze to Sakura. "Does he even talk?"
Sakura smiled and giggled before, "Sasuke-kun is an anti-social prick. He does not like talking nor does he like making friends. He's only with me 'cause his mom told me to watch him and now I'm dragging him all over the place."
Sasuke glared at her.
"See?"
They burst out laughing. With the exception of Sasuke, Neji and Sai, of course.

"Hey, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura looked at the raven-haired boy. "Can you come to my house today for tutoring? Then maybe we could do some homework together…?" Of course, she referred to her English homework. And maybe spending some alone time with Sasuke in her room.
Not that she didn't spend alone time with him in his room.
"Hn. I don't care." Sakura turned and placed her hands on her hips. "Damn, Sasuke-kun, you don't care about anything…"
"I'm home, kaasan! Sasuke and I are just gonna go upstairs for tutoring and homework, okay? Call us down for dinner!" Sakura exclaimed through the house before leading Sasuke up the stairs. "Yeah… Sorry for the mess in here." She rubbed her head sheepishly, looking around her room. There was a pile of clothes on her rocking chair (including bras, FYI!!) and she had books, paper and pencils all over her desk.
"Whatever."
She quickly piled up all her books on one side of her desk, and then cleaned all her pencils off her desk and put them in the pencil holder. From under the desk, she pulled out a folding chair for Sasuke.
"Wait, Sasuke-kun! Let me check my e-mails. Ino and Naruto spam my inbox if I don't reply their e-mails within half an hour of me getting home." She turned on her computer, and Sasuke, with a bored stare, stared at her.

Subject: Yummy, delicious, hot, sexy sex!
FOREHEAD. I bet you are having yummy, delicious, hot, sexy sex in your freakin' bathroom with Sasuke-kun right now! Tell me: how big is he? Is he like, giant like Sai or… has a teeny penis that doesn't even count? But even if he has a teeny penis, I wouldn't dump him. Did you see him? He's a god.
She smacked herself in the head and blushed a furiously red colour. Sasuke was peeking over her shoulder, and she bet that if she turned around, she would be facing absolute humiliation.
He made no comment, though.
She let out an imaginary sigh of relief. Sasuke wasn't actually a person to make fun of people, or even care about what happens, so she was good for now.
To: Yamanaka Ino
From: Haruno Sakura
Subject: You perv!
Pig, I swear to fucking god (NOT SASUKE DAMMIT!) that I am gonna chop your head off one day. How the hell do you come up with these things like I'm having (insert 354646454 sensual adjectives) sex with him. He's my fucking tutor for god's sake! I am not going to have sex with him! Unlike you and Sai, I am gonna save my virginity for marriage, alright?
When Sakura looked back to her tutor, he looked quite amused with an evident smirk in his face.
"Sasuke-kun?"
"Hn?"
"Are we gonna work on homework or what?" Sakura asked, poking his face with her index finger. "You look like you're having wet day-dreams about Karin."
"Aa."
"So you were! YOU WERE HAVING WET DAY-DREAMS ABOUT KARIN!" Sakura exclaimed, a hand over her mouth.
"Shut up, Sakura," Sasuke sighed. "You're so annoying."
"Fine, fine."
Just then, another e-mail popped up.
To: Haruno Sakura
From: Yamanaka Ino
Subject: Fucking tutor…?
LOL FOREHEAD. Did you just realize you called him your fucking tutor? You know, like a tutor who like… TUTORS YOU IN SEX. I didn't know he tutored you in sex positions, Sakura! I thought he was your English tutor! Who knew you were so dirty? Kakashi-sensei and Jiraiya-sensei would sure be proud of you! - winkwink -
She groaned and her hands flew up in exasperation. Ino was such a pervert. How the hell did she even think of these things? This totally proved that she didn't have such a dirty mind…
She turned to Sasuke again.
She waved a hand in front of his face. "Hellooo? Are you seriously having wet fantasies about Karin? I always thought you had better taste in your partners. And I said partners and not girlfriends because I always thought you were kinda gay."
He glared at her. "Yay! That's the Sasuke-kun I know!"
"Tch."
New e-mail.
To: Yamanaka Ino
From: Haruno Sakura
Subject: BAKA!
Shut up, you absolute PERVERT. Gosh. He's my tutor, not my sex-tutor. Could you think straight for a moment? That's nasty, even for you, Ino. Anyways, Sasuke-kun's reading everything and you're making him day-dream about his wet fantasies about Karin. Remember Karin? That absolute bitch that I told you about? Yeah. Don't remind me and I especially don't want to know about his…fantasies.
-

"Woo! We're done!" Sakura laid back in her chair, sighing.
"Hn. That was easy."
"Yeah, yeah, Sasuke-kun." Sakura waved her hand. "You're perfect, blah blah blah, smart… yada yada yada…"
"Okay, Sakura, okay."
An e-mail popped up.
To: Haruno Sakura
From: Kobayashi Karin
Subject: I told you to!
I'm coming after you.
I told you to send the letter to 20 people in the next 30 minutes. You didn't do it. I'm after you, you know. Watch out. I might just kill you right now if I feel like it. There's nothing you can do about because I'm absolutely invincible. You cannot defeat me in any way. Prepare yourself, Haruno, because I'm always watching you.
Until next time.
She laughed awkwardly. "Heh… yeah. Karin's been sending me weird messages. I don't bother replying them. She's probably being high or something. It's probably her new hobby…"
She turned back to her computer. And of course, she didn't see Sasuke smirking.

author's note: Don't flame my absolutely horrible chain-letter-writing-skills. I made the idea up a long time ago and I delete chain letters. I don't like spam in my inbox. I think I'm gonna have fun writing this story because it's AU and I've got so many ideas for it.... I love making those e-mail thingies... xDDD Try it! It's so funnn.

Oh, you know, reviewing is awesome. I do it! Why don't you?
Because sometimes, it breaks my heart to see people favourite and alert the story but never leave a review. Please do. (;
