Summary: AU OOC: As Sakura stared into the lust-filled eyes of the Uchiha males, she briefly wondered if she had entered into a parallel universe. Sakura/Uchiha Possible three-shot
Lessons with the Delinquents
Chapter One
"You have got to be kidding me."
"Actually, you'd find that I'm being deadly serious." Tsunade responded in monotone, her hazel eyes looking her at her highly appraised pupil dead on in the eye.
"But I never agreed to do this, Tsunade." Sakura folded her arms over her chest defiantly.
"I don't need your consent Sakura," The blonde shrugged offhandedly. "I'm doing this for your benefit, you may not see it this way now, but I can assure you that you will in the future." The pure look of unadulterated anger that flashed in the pinkette's eyes nearly caused the busty blonde to sigh.
Sometimes she wondered why she ever considered working with children, they were all ungrateful brats.
"How is this for my own benefit?" Sakura all but hissed out, slightly resembling a provoked snake. "You're practically throwing me into a den of hungry lions!"
"Sakura, you're just tutoring a bunch of harmless simpleminded students. That's hardly being 'thrown into a den of hungry lions'. She used quotation marks, before slouching back in her chair, inwardly wishing for the supply of sake Shizune had successfully managed to hide.
"A bunch of harmless simpleminded students my foot!" She protested with indignation. "More like a bunch of perverts who only seem to be interested in trying to get in my pants, rather than learning anything!"
"May that be true, Sakura." Tsunade deliberated her next words carefully. "They all need tutoring, and as this school encourages peer mentoring, I'm afraid that you're one of the only few students who are always highly thought of by both her teachers and her peers."
"There were other candidates for this position?" In almost a split second, Sakura thought she could see light at the end of this very, very dark tunnel. Jade eyes twinkled with unrestrained excitement, as Tsunade nearly sweat-dropped at the sudden mood swing. "That's really great, then I guess you don't need me anymore." The rosette moved to stand up, thoughts focused solely on running far, far away from this room in case Tsunade were to change her mind.
"Hold your horses, Sakura." The blonde rolled her eyes at the naïve rosette, who amusingly resembled a deer caught in the headlights with fear evident in her eyes. "Unfortunately, the other potential candidates had other obligations to attend to, so technically you're the tutor by default." The headmistress uttered without any trace of sympathy for the horrified girl sitting across from her.
"…" Sakura was speechless, and for a moment she felt her soul departing from her body. There was noway she was going to survive the school year, if she was going to go through what happened when she was the school's therapist.
"Well, seeing as you're already brimming with excitement, let's get started on the schedule shall we?" Tsunade chirped with a sugar coated tone, as she shuffled through the paperwork.
Sakura's eye twitched in annoyance. Oh how she would love to strangle the blonde's neck thoroughly.
"So, just let me get this straight, forehead." Ino began sceptically, raising an eyebrow at the rosette. "You get to tutor a bunch of the hottest hunks in this school, yet you aren't excited about it?"
"Well, I just spent the less ten minutes ranting and raving to you about how much I absolutely detest the majority of the male population at this school, so I suppose that might suggest that I'm not exactly thrilled about my current predicament." Sakura feigned an innocent look, which was instantly responded with a dark glower on the blonde's part.
"Now there's no need to be like that, Sakura." She tsked in irritation, as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I asked a reasonable question, besides most girls would be more than willing to be in your position."
"And I would willingly trade my place with anyone of them," Was the immediate response, the rosette running a hand through her hair. "However, it seems that Tsunade is hell bent on making my life a living hell."
"Psh, I'd say that Tsunade was handing you a life line, Sakura." Ino carefully concealed her grin with her coffee cup, as the said girl's face blossomed into bewilderment. "Think about it, why else would she make you tutor the smarteststudents in school?"
"I'm still debating about whether you still have your sanity in tact or not." She answered evenly.
"Tsunade's obviously playing matchmaker with this tutoring business," Ignoring her friend's last statement she digressed. "Well, it's not like you express an interest in anything related to romance, so she's just giving you a push in the right direction—"
"The rightdirection to what exactly, a bunch of perverted males?" Sakura retorted angrily, crossing her arms over her chest defiantly.
"Correction, a bunch of sexyperverted males." Ino smirked deviously, directing a smug look at the poker-faced rosette as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"Sometimes I worry about your boy crazy fantasizes, Ino." She sighed dejectedly, while she took a brief sip of her warm beverage and averted her attention to her watch, only to splutter out the drink in alarm.
"Sakura, you've just sprayed all your disgusting germs all over my new Gucci coat!" Ino shrieked out, as she tried to wipe the dark blotches on her formerly pearl white fur adored coat, however much to her dismay, her attempts proved to be futile.
"Sorry Ino-pig, I'm late for the first tutoring session!" The pink haired girl called over her shoulder, as she strode purposefully towards the cafeteria's twin double doors. Despite the increasing amount of dread growing at the pit of her stomach, she knew that Tsunade would probably burn her alive if she didn't attend the classes.
"You'd better tell me every single detail, forehead! " Sakura rolled her eyes at the blonde gossip, as if she would make that her main priority. That is, if she managed to get out alive.
'I'll be fine; surely they won't try to harass me right?' Sakura inwardly took a few deep breaths, in a weak attempt to slow down the irregular sounds of her heart pounding in her ears. Luckily she managed to sneak into the classroom, before the bell had rung, though her nerves were starting to increase tenfold as the adrenaline started to pump through her veins as she realised that she was the first to enter the silent, abandoned classroom.
Tapping her fingertips onto the solid oak desk to relieve the anxiety, she took a quick, fleeting glance at the clock. It was rare to see anymembers of the Uchiha males late for anything, literally. This included even Sasuke, who was a complete and utter jackass, there was no denying that. However, that was waybefore the therapist session, where he had spontaneously decided it would be great fun to molest her. Then, Sakura had made one of her main objectives of each day to avoid being in the same room with him, –alone.
The rosette shuddered involuntary at the memory engraved in her mind.
"Remind me again why we have to go to this stupid tutor thing?" She nearly jumped; her wide jade eyes were instantly glued to the door, where the obnoxiously loud voices were coming from. "This is coming from the smartass who got an 'F' in his Chemistry test."
"Shit-shit-shit-shit." Sakura muttered under her breath, like a mantra of sorts. The rosette quickly looked around the room, to look for any good hiding places, the only plausible idea seemed to be the closet in the back, but seeing as the voices were getting closer, Sakura doubted that she would be able to get across the room in time.
So, without really giving it a second thought, she drove underneath the teacher's desk, which was slightly more cramped than she had initially imagined. Then, seconds later the door burst open, and raucous laugher could be heard pouring into the small room.
Sakura closed her eyes, as she tried to calm down her heart, which was beating so loud that she wouldn't have been surprised if the other occupiers in the room could hear it.
"Looks like the teacher's a no show," One of them stated, with a weary sigh. "Did any of you guys manage to find out who this tutor was?" Another voice appeared; the sounds of the metal legs of the chairs which were scrapped across the floor grated on the pinkette's sensitive ears.
"I heard it was supposedly a kid protégée," Sakura inwardly rolled her eyes, as she tried to move away from the piece of gum stuck underneath the desk. "Jiraiya probably just was over exaggerating, you know how he has a tendency to tell bullshit."
She heard an amused chortle in response. "Well, it looks like this tutor's a no show, so let's just get out of here." The rosette inwardly sighed in relief, as she adjusted her position to a more comfortable one.
Most of the group grunted in agreement, and if the noise of the chairs moving indicated anything –they were leaving. Sakura nearly burst into tears of joy, at the prospect of missing out the opportunity of "teaching" a bunch of miscreants. Sure, she would get a bellowing from Tsunade, but she could live with that.
Besides, she could always persuade the blonde with sake. That trick never got old with Tsunade.
Once the door had closed with a quiet swish, the rosette grinned with unconcealed happiness as she crawled out of her temporary hiding spot, and moved to grab her backpack only to freeze with realisation.
There was a small group, sitting leisurely at the back of the classroom, with predatorily smirks directed towards her. Much to her dismay, they weren't just any random "simpleminded" males in the school, but they just happened to be the notorious Uchiha's –who coincidently all harboured an unhealthy obsession with her.
This in turn caused nearly all of the brainwashed girl population of the school to hate her guts in their misguided jealously.
"Sakura-sensei," Tobi chirped out, with that same feigned innocent tone of voice that caused even the most dignified girls to swoon. "Did you think you could hide from us?" In a matter of seconds, he had shifted from the seemingly adorable façade that was Tobi, to the darker, menacing alter-ego that only a select few were aware of.
"We look forward to learning everything you know, Sakura-hime." Itachi purred out, fingering one of her loose strands of hair idly. Sakura squeaked in surprise, having been completely oblivious of how fast they move. (Suspiciously, she had thought they were secretly all ninjas.)
But all joking aside, she tried to take a step back from the offending male, only to bump into another warm –obviously not a wall, she reasoned- living body.
"Now, now Sakura," Sasuke's hot breath fanned the crook of her neck, causing the hairs to stand on end. "I know you're very eager to teach us, but I'm afraid that you'll have to try to control yourself." For a moment, Sasuke had quickly managed to make himself sound more of an asshole, rather than being relatively seductive, like he had originally planned.
And after a brief moment of deliberation, Sakura knew she was screwed.
A/N: Extremely short, but it's kind of an introduction :3
For the next chapter, you guys can choose who you want Sakura to tutor. It can either be:
-Itachi
-Sasuke
-Tobi/Madara
-Izuna
-Obito
-Shisui
I know that I don't really write about Izuna, Obito or Shisui, but I thought that the Uchiha boys just wouldn't work/be the same without them.
Any thoughts? Good or bad, write something in the review box :D I'll try to post the next update by next week, and that will be a promise! (Seriously, even though you guys are probably rolling your eyes and think I'm just buffing.)
Remember to vote for your favourite person, and I'll write the results in the next, upcoming chapter (in your reviews)
