I stood outside of the high school waiting for my friends. Ironically enough, even though I live with the Akatsuki they always show up at school half an hour after me. They always make me wait up for them too. Right outside of school everyday. I don't mind since it's my only quiet time.
"Look its Sakura! She's the girl who's going out with all those Akatsuki boys!" A girl whispered to another making me smirk and turn away. I don't care what others think. They're practically my brothers. Flirtatious brothers but I don't care.
"She may not be that bad!" A boy defended looking at me with slight interest. I could tell he had some lust in his eyes too making me turn away. I don't waste time with kids like him. "Sakura!" He shouted running up to me. I stared him down but it was immune on the blond haired boy. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Would you want to hang out sometime?"
"Sorry but no." A voice said from behind us. I didn't bother turning around since I already knew who it was. My ripped jeans and dark red stalking underneath with skater shoes made me look like a punk. Especially with my spaghetti strap low cut white t-shirt that was somewhat ripped showing my button off, and my form fitting leather jacket over it.
"Who're you?" The boy asked making me feel somewhat sorry for him. I wonder if he's ever had to deal with anyone remotely close to the Akatsuki. Probably not. I hope he gets over his shock soon and just runs. That would be the smart thing to do.
"I'm Itachi Uchiha. I hope you didn't expect to be worthy of our little flower's attention." He said with an evil tone that suggested he would murder the boy if he even tried to answer the question, or if he didn't.
"Be nice." I said with a smile to Itachi still not looking back. "Run along Naruto before you get hurt." I said shooing him off like a child from tattling. He sprinted off to the safety of his friends making me smirk.
"One isn't scared." Sasori commented pointing towards a boy with red hair, eyeliner, and deep light blue eyes. I watched him stare at us for a minute with his headphones in his ears, tight black t-shirt, grey pants with several holes, and skater shoes. The boy seemed perfect.
"Like we care. Come on let's head inside." I said making the others rush up to me wrapping their arms all along my back. They never tried anything at school knowing that I didn't care what kind of a record I got as long as they were punished.
For first period I had Tobi, the red head, and Itachi's brother. Fun right? "Class this is a new student. Please introduce yourself to the class." Our idiot teacher grinned making everyone glance over at him waiting for something. I even did the same. It was like me, but hey, I was interested.
"I'm Gaara Sabaku don't mess with me and I won't mess with you." He stated simply then sat down on the row next to me one seat behind mine. I glanced over at him catching his eye, then I nodded making him smirk and nod back.
"Wow so they don't always speak for you?" Sasuke asked sarcastically then faked a gasp and covered his mouth. "Wait you didn't talk did you? I guess my brother and his friends really are your voice and actions." He said cold heartedly.
"Don't say that about Sakura-chan!" Tobi cried making me stand up and stop him from continuing. I then walked up to Sasuke's desk and leaned in close to him.
"Do you want me to show the whole school the tape I have of you asking me out then getting rejected? I don't normally care about your idiocy but Tobi's in this class and he cares." I whispered making Sasuke's eyes widen before glaring at me. It was obvious I got him.
Turning around to leave a girl stood up and stared at me head on. She had sandy blond hair with deep dark eyes. "So you're the famous Sakura Haruno? My condolences for your loss, two years before it must have been hard. I look forward to spending the year here with you. My brothers Gaara and Kankuro are here as well… but Kankuro and I never got to introduce ourselves to you." She announced making me stare at her suspiciously.
Not many, if anyone, knew about what happened to me two years ago. For her and her brothers to know… well that sucks. "Okay." I said blankly then turned to the utterly confused teacher. "Just go back to class and hope the next period will be normal." I told him making the poor man nod and smile before starting class.
"Sakura-chan! That was so much fun!" Tobi cried after class holding my hand while I sucked on a sucker. He continued to smile leading me out to the courtyard for my next class. He left me then and kissed my cheek. "Goodbye Saku-chan!" I waved and smiled slightly before turning to yet another class. Gaara, Deidara, Naruto, and Ino were in my class… great.
"Looks like you had fun, yea!" Deidara grinned messing up my hair. I glared up at him but it was half-hearted. I could never hate my family. We looked at the other classmates as though strategizing for battle. "I guess it would be too late to ditch?" I elbowed him in the gut instantly. "Okay, okay I know. You told us not to ditch anymore."
"Don't do that ever. It's retarded unless you're overworked." I informed him with a shake of the head.
"Sakura!" Naruto cried rushing up to me with a huge smile. "You're actually in one of my classes! That's great!" He shouted making Deidara stand in front of me and glare causing the class to stare.
"Lay a hand on my Sakura and die." He growled making Naruto back up a bit. I didn't care unless Deidara got suspended for threatening, or blowing up school property. They shouldn't care about students dying like that because they can always get a new batch next semester.
"Why are you all so over protective?!" Gaara asked sounding annoyed. I glanced over at him curiously before tossing the sucker stick and getting another sucker out.
"They took me in. Before these guys came in… I used to be such a nice girl." I sighed then punched Gaara in the gut. "Don't talk to Deidara or any of my other family members like that." I whispered in his ear making him force himself to sit up straight and smirk staring me in the eye.
"I think this school year will be interesting." He said making me smile.
"I agree."
