Prologue: Introductions

Sakura awoke early on Tuesday. She had to go to school today, sigh, she stood and yawned. She made her way to the bathroom and followed her normal morning routine. She made her way out and got dressed in her usual flowery blue shirt and low rider jeans.

She grabbed her blue corduroy Jan sport backpack and made her way to school. One thought ran through her mind at least it's not Monday...

Sakura made her way to the school, when she arrived she went to first period. School was always boring. She sat in her seat and felt the heat of blood rushing to her cheeks. She was blushing cuz she was staring at Sasuke. She didn't realize until he began turning his head to look at her. She had enough sense to look away before he saw her though.

Damn it Sakura what WRONG WITH YOU! Sasuke belongs with you, you totally know it! CHAA! She shook her head. That voice got annoying and said CHAA way to often. But sadly she did listen to it most of the time. She turned her head to Sasuke and waved while smiling. As she did so some girl, jealous, made a comment about her large forehead.

I can't believe that one girl said I have a WIDE FOREHEAD! You should go kick her little scrawny ass! CHAA! 'ok, enough outta you!' she thought shoving the little voice away. 'Sasuke... you don't think I have a wide forehead ...do you?' thought Sakura.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke had noticed Sakura waving at him so he headed over to chat.

Sasuke begin to think to himself ignoring Sakura's puppy-in-love look. He had been angry at that damn Naruto; he always caused problems for him...

"Did you want to say something?" he replied to Sakura who looked as if she was about to mention something to him. But before she could answer the teacher had tapped his desk getting everyone's attention.

Sasuke walked slowly back to his desk. He was a very anti-social person; he didn't care much for making friends after all he had been through in his life. He put his hands up to point where they were covering his mouth. He still seemed to be quite popular with girls even though he hardly ever talked to any of them. He noticed Naruto's desk lied empty.
"Hmph, wonder where that idiot could be" said Sasuke under his breathe.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura smiled and her inner self cheered while Sasuke stood and walked over. She didn't miss the stares of the other girls though. She mentally fought the HIGHLY APPEALING idea to flip them all the bird. She turned to Sasuke as he said "What were you saying?"

IDIOT! Are you COMPLETELY STUPID! SASUKE IS TRYING TO SPEAK TO YOU! TALK TO HIM! CHAA! She opened her mouth to reply when the question registered. Unfortunately, the teacher interrupted to start class. 'stupid teacher.' Sasuke walked back to his seat and the teacher began to talk, lecturing about school rules and other things. Sakura was a study freak and always had to get GREAT grades. PERFECT grades. She was writing down everything the teacher managed to blurt out.

The teacher spoke fast and slurred but she got everything and her handwriting was perfection. She smiled. CHAA! WE ROCK!

The class bell rang after half an hour of the teacher's rambling. The teacher explained "This bell signals your free period. You have 15 minutes to do whatever." Sakura smiled and put away her stuff. "Now's my chance to talk to Sasuke! But what to talk about..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke had trouble keeping up with the teacher's notes but managed to get it all. The bell rang signaling the 15 minute break between periods. He noticed most of the people had already left classroom. He saw Sakura was still sitting in her desk so, gathering his stuff he placed it is his bag and headed over to Sakura. He put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey Sakura what's the hold up. We should head to our next class." he said smiling at her. He felt different around Sakura than the other girls he dealt with; maybe it was the way she acted? He wasn't sure...maybe it was her kindness that made him feel weird. Sasuke felt that he might actually have crush on Sakura but his mind wouldn't let him think about things like that. He always had serious matters to deal with him didn't have time to fall in love…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura was sitting in her desk having an inner debate with herself. She hadn't noticed Sasuke was walking up to her. A hand dropped on her shoulder and not only brought her out of her fight with herself, but sent a warm jolt in all directions from her shoulder.

"Hey Sakura what's the hold up. We should head to our next class." He was smiling. She smiled and stood. Her backpack was place on her shoulder and they left the class room. She looked around...class is...this way.

She began walking towards the class. She still was thinking about the shoulder thing. The warm jolt began to tingle, and now was making her feel quite numb. She wasn't even paying attention to where she was heading.

She had her head down and she didn't look like she was paying much attention, yet she managed to quickly zip and dodge anything that came at her. As she walked she avoided getting a drink spilled on her, getting spitballed, getting hit in the face with a locker door, and walking into people. She came out of her head when she heard catcalling. Whistles and woots that were directed at her. She stopped, slowly turning on her heels making a squeak noise while the rubber scraped across the tile. She had a huge smile on her face that was more creepy than happy. She strolled over to the group of boys. One was her age, but the two others looked a little older. She looked at them still wearing the creepy smile and said, "Excuse me, boys, but I would prefer you didn't do that."

The kids looked at one another than one said, "And I'd prefer kissing you." The guy leaned forward, trying to make a pass. Sakura dropped the smile and punched him in the gut. The boy fell forward to the floor and writhed. She grabbed another by the shirt and pulled him down to her eye level. "Try that again and I won't hesitate to whoop both of your ugly asses." He seemed to size her up before leaning forward. Before he could get to her lips she moved with lightning speed. She grabbed his shoulder and kneed him in a very sensitive part of the male anatomy. Then she shoved him aside. She looked at the last one. He was her age and really scrawny. She huffed and turned to leave. "You're not even worth the time or effort."

She didn't realize she'd started a scene and blushed as several women whistled at her saying "good job." She left and continued to class, she still had about 10 minutes to get to class and talk to Sasuke.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke had almost made it to his next class he checked his watch to see how much time he had left. As he did a figure of a boy had came up behind Sasuke.

"What do you want?" said Sasuke with his back turned toward the person he felt like he was being watched by cold dark eyes. His thoughts were broken by the boy as he had thrown a punch at Sasuke. Sasuke moved out of the way but as he did the boy threw another punch hitting him straight in the jaw.

"Your not so hot now are you" said the bully smiling, he seem to be in bad mood. "It's your fault that Sakura doesn't like me" he said gripping his fist.

"What the hell is with this guy?" said Sasuke in his head. He got up and rubbed the blood off of his chin. Some people had started to gather around them now, but didn't see the boy that hit him so they were curious at what had just happened.

"Let us take this someplace else," said Sauske signaling for the boy to follow him to the roof of the school.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura made her way out of the circle of people huddled around the bullies. She dusted herself off and fixed her hair then looked up wide eyed as she thought 'Where did Sasuke go?' She started walking, scanning the hallways for him. She made it to another crowd of people right outside the doorway of her next class. She saw Sasuke and some other kid leave. The other kid seemed familiar but she couldn't place who it was. She knew Sasuke was heading for trouble, so she headed for the door.

"Excuse me, Mr. Taki. Sasuke isn't feeling too well; I'm going with him to the nurse. We might be late." The teacher nodded and she headed after Sasuke and the familiar boy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke and the boy had reached the roof which had a gate connected at the ends to keep the students from jumping due to the high rate of suicide. The boy began to speak smoothly to Sasuke.

"Sasuke I doubt you remember me but I am Kyle Hebert. It's all your fault the girl of my dreams has fallen for a pathetic loser such as you! So now its time for payback"

Kyle rushed at Sasuke, the boy was quite fast, it was obvious that he had trained in the martial arts. The boy threw a punch at Sasuke which, in return, Sasuke blocked. He then landed a roundhouse kick into the boy's gut. The boy fell to his knees gasping for air.

"Why won't you just get hold of yourself? I have no interest in fighting you. There is only one person at this school I do want to fight." Sasuke said coolly as if this skirmish had little affect at all on him.

Sasuke picked up his book bag which now lay on ground. Just as he did Kyle reached for something in his coat. Sasuke was afraid this might have been a gun but it was a note he handed it to Sasuke and then slowly picked himself up. Kyle muttered a few words but it seem he was having a little trouble talking after he was kicked.

"Don't think this will be the last time we meet. I...I plan on winning next time."

Kyle walked back into the school. Leaving Sasuke by himself.

"I hope Sakura doesn't find about this or I'll catch hell." Sasuke looked up at the blue cloudless sky.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura rushed passed people and heard them chattering about random things. As she skittered passed she caught glimpses of the gossip.

'Sasuke looked...

'...punches flying...'

'..kicked some a...'

'...on the roof.'

She pieced the bits together and figured Sasuke got into a fight, they left for the privacy of the roof. It seemed to be a good fight, but that could've been the simple exaggeration of gossip.

So Sakura made her way to the roof and stumbled as the door she was leaning into, to open, opened. She composed herself and looked up to find "SASUKE!" She lunged forward and hugged him. She let go and backed off. "I saw you leave, and then heard about the fight...people said that it was big...I got scared...you might've been hurt..." She was stumbling over her words then her face fell and she looked serious. She looked him directly in the eye. "YOU NEARLY SCARED ME TO DEATH! NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!" She huffed audibly, turned on her heels, and left. She scurried down the stairs and off to class. "Sorry I'm late Mr. Taki, Sasuke is feeling better. He should be back soon." She slid into her seat and grumbled looking at the sheet of paper labeled 'Rubric'. This meant no notes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto was laying on one of the branches of a tree outside the school. He knew that he really should show up for school but he had been having so much fun today he decided to skip.

His favorite part was when he set off a whole bunch of toilet bombs down at the rival High School. But, then again, spray painting the local park bench and turning everyone's clothes into a zebra's worse nightmare was classic. Just going over today's pranks made Naruto laugh so hard he nearly fell off the branch.

While hanging around earlier that morning he knew that he wouldn't really be missed that much. Most of the students were mad at him for that last prank: He had put up a whole bunch of buckets filled with paint on top of each of the classroom doors. Every single teacher that entered their classroom that morning got painted pink for that day. He had joked with Sakura that now she didn't have to worry about her hair color for awhile. Unfortunately, because of this the teachers handed out way too much homework as punishment.

"But it was all worth it." said Naruto thinking about Sakura. But thinking of Sakura ultimately led Naruto to think about Sasuke. Sakura and the rest of the girls in the school couldn't seem to stop talking about Sasuke this or Sasuke that.

"Hm," mumbled Naruto "maybe I will go to school today." Getting a mischievous grin Naruto looked to the school just as the bell for third period sounded, meaning he had Mr. Taki now and class with Sakura and Sasuke as well. "Sasuke get ready for the most embarrassing day of your life. Believe it!"
