I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR NARUTO SHIPPUDEN.
Chapter 1
School, Seatmate, and Pink.
Tokyo, Uchiha Mansion.
Human are fragile things.
Love, care, and trust. Those only will take us into bitterness and misery.
Remember that, little brother.
XXX
Uchiha Sasuke opened his eyes forcefully, facing the ceilings and a gasp continued to ran away from his pale lips.
The nightmares, again.
The spiked-haired young man woke up, tried to kidnap some oxygen for his thirsty lungs. His beautiful onyx eyes still widely opened. He must be insane. Hell Insane. How could he let him to haunt his life. Even when Sasuke was in a dreamland, he couldn't get any peacefulness. It was because of that bastard.
A bastard called Uchiha Itachi.
"Sasuke." A soft voice coming from his door. He turned around his chaotic expression. It must be his loving mother, Uchiha Mikoto.
Sasuke closed his eyes, trying to get some composures. He didn't want his mother found out her second son in this kind of state, did he?
"I'm coming, Kaa-san."
"Today is your first day becoming a sophomore, right?"
The raven-haired tilted his head to see his mother. He presumed that Mikoto tried to break the awkward atmospheres in their dining room. Uchiha Sasuke never played with words.
"Aa." He replied with his trademark one single word. He took another sip of his black coffee
Mikoto smiled to her stoic son. At least, he answered her question. "I hope you enjoy your school life. And don't often fight with Naruto." Her voice went softer, "He's your only best friend, right?"
Her second son snickered, "Hard to believe after all. Having that dobe as a best friend."
Tokyo. Konoha Private High School's entrance.
"Sasuke-senpai is coming!"
"Really? Where is he? I must take a good look!"
"Camera, where's my camera?!"
Today, as always, Uchiha's heir made an uproar morning.
He was wearing a short-sleeved white school shirt, with long loose light brown pants. The raven-haired didn't wear any tie, because he thought that wearing school accessories was a nerd did. And Uchiha Sasuke was not a nerd. Instead, he wore a silver Rolex watch and necklace with a silver cross. His fair skin, along with his black, spiked hair were stunning in every woman eyes. And his brilliant onyx eyes, the eyes which you wouldn't forget at the first sight. The eyes that made you forget about the world. The eyes that captivated all the girls in his school, making all the boys without those eyes drowned into a sea of jealousy. Damn those Uchiha genes.
"As always, making such an uproar in the morning is one of your blessed skill, teme." The blonde patted Sasuke's muscled back, "Ohayo, teme!"
He threw a death glare to his annoying best friend, "Shut up, dobe."
"Looks like someone in a good mood today." grumbled the blond-haired newly sophomore with a sarcastic tone. "You will lost your blessed charming, teme."
"At least I don't have deadly morning breath like someone here." The good mood Sasuke sneered, feeling a victory in hand after mocking Naruto.
Tokyo. Konoha Private High School. Headmaster's main office.
The golden-haired woman read some papers that handed to her with a proud smile. Then, she looked up to face her guest, or so-called a new talented student.
"1st place in Science and Medic Competition in China. One of prestigious student in Korea International School." She flipped for the next page, "Moreover, Oxford University is waiting for your enrollment after graduating from High School. You are blessed, Sakura-san." She praised. The Headmaster of Konoha High, Senju Tsunade, even couldn't believe that a petite young girl in front of her eyes will make her astonished.
"You make me fluttered, Tsunade-sama." responded the cherry blossom-haired girl with a shy smile.
"You are a prodigy, no need to be embarrassed!" she chuckled, making the girl blushed hard. After a pregnant silent, Tsunade questioned her with an uncertain tone, "Answer me, Sakura-san. Why do you enroll to our school?"
Strangely, the pinkette didn't surprised with Tsunade's question. After all, she often received that question from her companions before arriving in Japan. Sadly, she left them without erasing their anxiety. Well, Sakura was already in Japan, her most desired destination. She shouldn't hide her reasons anymore, should she?
The new student gave a sincerest smile to her straightforward Headmaster, hoping that the answer will assured her.
"Because Okaa-san used to be a teacher here."
And It worked.
Sasuke and Naruto arrived in front of their class safely after had escaped from many obsessed fangirls who were insanely shrieking the raven-haired boy's name.
"Thanks to you, we've got a good morning exercise!" puffed Naruto, holding his tired knees, "Which class are you in?"
"2-B."
He whined, "Man, having teme as a classmate again is totally disaster! God must be cursed me."
The stoic boy snorted. It felt weird, having Naruto as a classmate again for the eleventh times, since the first grade in Elementary School. He smirked, no one could do that hilarious idea except his meddlesome, yet caring mother. He hated to admit, but Naruto's presence in his classroom was peculiarly assuring him. That's why he kept that ridiculous friendship with that stupid-who-filled-his-head-with-ramen boy.
"Oi teme, where are you going?" barked Naruto after realized that the dark-haired didn't enter his class like he did, "Don't tell me.."
"Hn."
The blonde blurted, "Oh God, Uchiha Sasuke! What's wrong with you! It has been a half of year since Ita-"
"Don't mention that again, Naruto."
Naruto gasped when he noticed that Sasuke was snapped. Moreover, he called him with his real, first name. It's true that Uzumaki Naruto always annoyed when Sasuke called him with fucking nicknames like "dobe, dork, idiot, shrimp (although they had almost the same height), little birdie (the most embarrassing one) and ramen-boy" but there was nothing more nerve-wrecking than hearing Sasuke called him with his name. And vice versa.
Realized that Naruto was already learned a lesson, he smirked. "Later, dobe."
"Wait!" The tan-skinned hollered. Sasuke forgot that his best friend was a stubborn one, he turned his body to face his best friend unpleasantly.
"At least show yourself to your homeroom teacher!" Naruto insisted while seeking for another ideas to provoke his ex-rival and found a good one. He continued, "Anosa, anosa! Don't you know that there will be a new girl from South Korea coming into our class?" Well, he knew that Uchiha Sasuke would not ever interested in girls. Even his hormones are questionable.
Sasuke retorted, "Dobe, I'm sure that perverted Kakashi will be our Homeroom teacher. Besides-" he narrowed his eyes, giving a deadly piercing glare. "I don't care about girls."
"But don't you feel, well, interested? Everyone says that she is a beautiful one, both looks and brain! Come on, perhaps this one is suitable for Uchihas right? Only a peek won't hurt!" pledged Naruto, with insisted tone combined puppy eyes. He sucked at it.
Sasuke responded Naruto's suck puppy eyes with an arrogant, prideful smirk. The blonde was sure daring enough to tempt him, even brought Uchiha great name. The arrogant, raven-haired teenager would shut his best friend pestering mouth this time for good.
"If that new girl, has an ability to mess up with my mind, my pride and my life, I assure you with my words." he uttered, "I will grant your dumbest, hilarious, and insane lifetime wish. Even that wish means giving you a free of your stupid ramen until the death parted us."
Naruto gasped, "Wha-"
" .Alone." he growled, not giving any chances for Naruto anymore. He walked away, leaving the expressionless sixteen year old blonde sophomores.
And Sasuke knew, Ramen was always win.
Konoha High School. Class 2-B
Naruto took a middle seat in his new class with a defeated heart. Thanks to his ramen, Sasuke skipped the class for three months, including today. Man, how good best friend he was.
"Seeing your face, I bet Sasuke will skip classes for today." A loud yawn interrupting, "You failed again, Naruto." complained a lazy-bum who took a seat right behind Naruto, Nara Shikamaru, "Mendokuse."
"It means you have no value as a good friend, Dickless." And that straightforward, crude tone came from a pale, stoic faced boy sat beside Naruto. No one would talk like that except Takamura Sai.
"Stop calling me with that nickname!" Naruto grumbled, "It's not like mines was smaller than yours!"
"Both of you didn't have any shame, huh? Talking about it with such a loud voice."
Naruto turned back to see a rude presence behind her. A tall, slender girl with arms wrapped in front of her chest. She sat right on the side of Shikamaru's desk, which annoyed him.
"Ara, Temari, Ohayou! Still crude like always-ttebayo!" grinned Naruto, didn't really paying attention on what she said. Some of their new classmates snickered on them.
She sighed, "Having you as my classmate again is giving me nuts." Her eyes locked on Naruto's watch. She got up from Nara's desk and took a seat besides him, "And where the fuck is our homeroom teacher? He sure is late."
"Well.." Shikamaru interrupted, "The only teacher who dares to come to class after having more than thirthy minutes late is none other than-"
The door suddenly opened, revealing a silver haired man in early thirty. "Ohayo, minna-san!" an innocent tone came behind his white mask that covered most part of his face.
"Hatake Kakashi."
Naruto and friends let out their restless laughs.
"I'm really happy seeing all of you become a sophomore start from today. Well although I do feel disgusting seeing Naruto face like a disposable ramen-"
"Cut that off, Kakashi-sensei!" roared the blonde with a loud, shrieking voice.
All the students laughed mockingly. Naruto succeeded becoming a laughingstock again this year.
"Alright, sit down Naruto." The teacher peeked at the door, where was a petite girl hid behind it with a nervous face. He turned to see his pupils anticipated faces. Rumors spread fast. The masked teacher cleared his throat, "Well I think all of you already figured this off. We have a new transferred student from Seoul International School." "Ma, although she came from a foreign country, she is a pure Japanese." He lifted his left hand towards the door, giving a signal to the cherry blossom-haired girl. "Come here, Haruno-san."
Hearing her last name mentioned, she took a brave step, entering her new class. Her new environment.
And all of the students struck in an awe.
She took a small white chalk, while remembering the custom of student in Japan when they're introducing themselves. She wrote her name on the blackboard, as big as she could. Pleased with her nice handwriting, the pinkette put back the chalk and turned her petite body to the whole class.
"My name is Haruno Sakura. My name means of cherry blossom, which is suited with my natural pink hair. " Of course, Sakura wanted to tell them about her natural hair, before being accused. She looked all of her new classmates one by one. Thank God they still fixed their eyes on her. "I'm a pure Japanese, but lived in China when I was born, and took educations in International School in South Korea."
"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu." She wrapped her introduction with a genuine smile and bowed elegantly.
The entire class still remained silent. Eyes still fixed in her appearances. Haruno Sakura was a what-people-often-said beautifully attractive. Her fair, soft line honey skin, matched with her petite figure. But there was no fragile or weak in her figure. They could see a brave, strong, and proud radiating from her demeanor. The mesmerized, unforgettable two things from her features are her viridian eyes which were more valuable to call it emerald, and her unique, rare pink hair. A hair color that represented special flowers in Japan, Cherry Blossoms. And having 'Sakura' as her first name was indeed acceptable.
"Yare yare, I can't believe you stole all of the attentions at the first day, Haruno-san." Said Kakashi playfully, tried to broke the tension in his classroom. "Naruto, stop drooling!"
They snapped back into the reality, and freaked mockingly after proving Kakashi's joke. Perhaps Naruto could wash his entire desk with his salivas. The blonde wiped some remaining drools with his elbow desperately. "Fuck you, perverted sensei!" he huffed.
Well, at least Sakura realized that her new classmates had a warm atmosphere.
"Okay, since we had the only one space in this class." His eyes seeking for an empty seat and found-well two empty seats in the right corner of the class. Not again. The silver-haired teacher let out a heavy sigh.
The new student noticed and looked at her new teacher, "Sensei?"
"A-aah, gomen gomen." He stammered, laughing a bit, "You can sit on the right corner of the class."
Sakura took a peek at her new seat, and noticed something.
"Hatake-sensei." She pointed her index finger to her new seat. "Actually, there are two empty seats. Is there anyone absent today?"
There is a pregnant silent after she asked that question, "Indeed, someone is absent today. And I hope you don't take a seat near a window. All I can say, It's reserved to my well behave student."
Sakura mentioned that the way her teacher talked, it seemed like something was wrong with her new-unknown-seatmate. It was a bit disappointing to spend the first day alone without a seatmate. Nah, she would meet him/her eventually. She took a sit in her new chair, hoping for a great encounter on her first day.
"Okay, that's all for today. Keep your excellent grades, except someone who is stuck with his own ramen life." Kakashi's eyes fixed on the amethyst owner."I hope he can survive until graduation, right Uzumaki Naruto?"
Naruto stood up, "I will get full marks in Math, so shut your mouth Kakashi-sensei!"
He snickered, "Ara hontou? Then the world is in the end."
The classmates guffawed again. Really, these two teacher-student, mocking each other without honorifics. Perhaps Naruto was somewhat special for Kakashi, huh?
"Ah, Haruno-san. Mind to talk for a bit?"
Sakura was a bit jumped when his teacher mentioned her name out of the blue. She came out from the class and walking to her teacher, who was standing not so far from the classroom. The one point that Sakura would describe him was, mysterious. His tall, slender figure, a bit contradicted with his playful and crude behavior. And his mask, his white mask was way too strange. Was there anything on his face, like scar or perhaps his bad features that made him wearing that wide mask? If he were a cold and serious teacher, she bet the cops would arrested him as a murderer or molester. He was indeed a pervert. Not only because the whole classmates called him a pervert, even the way he taught Math was truly proved him as an adult with brain full of dirty things. Man, even Algebra, which mostly consisted on X and Y, becoming a sex, full of lust talk.
"Don't worry about before, Haruno-san." Said Kakashi, broke all of her thought about him, "I talked like that because that's my way of teaching people. Stop accusing me with those eyes."
He had a good intuition. Even passed woman intuition. Sakura marked this point in her brain.
"Yosh, before my students performing some commotions.." He took a light breath, "I will be the one who accompany you for seeing all the school building. Is that acceptable, Haruno-san?"
"Wise offer." She replied. The pinkette nodded her head, "I will take it, then. Arigatou gozaimasu, Hatake-sensei." At least she would not have to choose her company between all of her classmates who eagerly volunteered.
"Yare yare. I hope you drop the Keigo before we start." He rubbed his silver hair, "I don't want any formal tension at my student."
Sakura startled when he asked her to put off the honorifics. Well, Japan sure was full of easygoing people. And she should adapted with it. "Wakatta, Kakashi-sensei. You can call me Sakura too."
He grinned, "Sakura-chan, then."
Sakura sighed with his childish demeanor, "Hai hai"
Haruno Sakura started to understand about her new high school. Konoha Private High School, was one of prestigious private High School in Japan. The students mostly were from a wealthy and well-known family in Japan. Some of them enrolled because of their excellent achievement, which was Sakura as an example. And few of them were enrolled because they had a specific bond with wealthy families, like an adopted, long-term friends or perhaps the millionaires were in debt on the students themselves, and basically these students were someone which had a decent wealth or lower. That's why Sakura somehow could feel a social-class aura radiating from this school. At least her classmates didn't seem like intimidating students.
Her attention fully dropped towards some old staircases leading into upstairs.
"Ne, Kakashi-sensei. Is there any room left in the upstairs?" asked Sakura, pointing her index finger to the staircases.
"Ah, there's a rooftop. Students often used that for, well-confessing their love?" he shook his head, "Kids these days." He mumbled, scratching his silver hair. Sakura only chuckled with his lousy answer.
Suddenly, he felt his phone was vibrating. "Ara! Gomen, Sakura-chan. Perhaps we should end our romantic school date." He took his phone from his pocket, pointing it in front of the emerald eyes. "I have something to do. Find me at teacher office If you want some counseling, both emotionally and physically." He grinned playfully at the end of his words, trying to add some playful remarks.
She chuckled, "That's gross, Kakashi-sensei. Thank you for the loving date."
"My pleasure, young lady."
They both parted way. But Sakura still kept her attentions on the rooftop. She looked at her Alexander Christie watch. She had 15 minutes left before the next lesson.
It's not hurt to peek, right?
She took the staircase with nervous step. The atmosphere was slightly menacing, perhaps because of this corner was a bit abandoned. She didn't believe the students pick the Rooftop as the place for confessing. Who would want to hear a love declaration between a damp, eerie place like here?
She found the door of rooftop, whose handle was a bit old and rusty. She pulled the door slowly, tried to keep her composures. And it opened.
The rooftop. Plain, only the wide plain floors covered most part of the roof. There was a wall of wires secured at the side of the rooftop mostly because the Headmasters didn't want any accident in their school. Besides those two things, there was nothing.
Perhaps the one that made all the school's rooftop become one of coziest places because we could see the bright blue sky, soft-like-cotton-candy white clouds, and warm and shining sun ray. It was nothing special, but at least we could put away all the stress from the lessons and enjoyed the natures.
"Ah, kimochii!" She stretched her arms up and closed her beautiful eyes, letting her nose, her ears and her skin took the dominant role for sensing the natures. The wind, the heat, the scent of spring, the sound of chirping birds, the laughter, chatter of the students which were merged with the wind. This is her new environment. And she should accept it. She should bear it. She should go for it.
She should obey all of his words, after all.
Uchiha Sasuke was awake from his nap after he heard the sound from the door. He tidied his spiked hair, while the other hand searching for his phone in his branded bag.
11.45 A.M
Did he really sleep that long?
His eyes widened. He absolutely heard some footsteps. Thank God he took a nap on the top of small building, which was exactly on the top of the rooftop entrance. That was his special place, after all.
And someone was here. Meddling with his territory.
He gained his composures. He bet that it was Naruto, still didn't give up for taking him to the classroom. That idiotic blonde.
It might be Kakashi, too. His homeroom teacher, which was actually he and Naruto's guardian when his parents went away for works. Naruto was an orphan and to him, Kakashi was a great existence, replacing his father or his older brother. Kakashi was not so old, so it might be he took the role as our older brother.
Older brothers are annoying. The fake one.
Or the real one.
"Ah, kimochii!"
No.
There was no way Naruto had an ability for imitating a soft voice. He sucked in acting.
Kakashi was a good actor. But even a professional actor couldn't make a soft voice like that.
A soft voice that somewhat was calming.
He stood up, tried to peek someone who dared to disturb his nap.
He knew for sure that it was a girl. A fangirl? How dare she was. He planned that today was the last day she was having such a disgusting admiration about him. This insane girl must got a lesson from the Mighty Uchiha. And his intuition was right.
A girl, pink-haired girl.
He knew that all this time he didn't give any shit interest to girls in his school. But for Godsake, pink? That was a worst color choice for dyeing a hair. He took a wide step to get a closer look. And that was his biggest mistake. His shoes stepped, right away on the paper. And because of his stupid clumsiness, she realized his presence and turned away.
His onyx eyes met emerald one.
And for the first time, the Almighty Uchiha Sasuke took the step into his own grave.his
