All Uchiha Sasuke wanted was rice… Fucking rice… But no… Instead, he got stuck with a hyperactive pink haired girl with a large forehead who didn't know what « personal space » meant… Why couldn't just one stinking day go the way he wanted? Was it too much to ask for?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1:
Arrival! The new girl likes plums and hates spicy stuff but who cares!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It all started when Uchiha Sasuke, a 16 year old who was way to sexy for his own good, woke up. He got washed, dressed and then headed to the kitchen. He started to make his breakfast but then noticed that he was out of rice.
« Damn… I'm going to be late… » Sasuke muttered as he walked to the hallway to go out for some rice.
He got a jacket and his keys, then sat down to put his shoes on. « Damn it, why must Itachi be out early today of all days? » he muttered « University students have it so easy…I bet he's somewhere with his gang of freaks… »
Sasuke got out of the flat he was sharing with Itachi and noticed someone. He was about to tell that person to get lost when…
« Be my boyfriend! » she yelled, her arms wide open as if expecting him to hug her…
Psh… Uchiha Sasuke, hug someone? Yeah right…
He turned around to leave when the strange girl talked… Again…
« I'm new here! I like plums! Do you like plums? I hate stuff that's too spicy? Do you like spicy stuff? » the girl was, it seemed, very talkative. She was blabbering non-stop. Did she even stop to breathe?
« Look, I couldn't care less whether you're new here or you like plums but not spicy stuff, so get lost! » he said coldly, adding a glare, hoping the girl would get the hint.
« But.. » she started
« Whatever, » he said and left.
When he arrived at the convenience store (1), he headed straight to the rice, took a pack, turned around and saw her.. Again…Was she stalking him?
« Hello again! What are you here for? I'm buying some rice! Oooh! You too! What a coincidence! »she blabbed .
Coincidence? Yeah right… If this was a coincidence, then Sasuke would be happy to eat his socks…
Sasuke turned around, ignoring her, to go pay. There was quite a queue even though it was only 8 o'clock. Sadly, the weird girl was behind him. Sasuke used all of his self-restraint not to hit his head against a wall.
« Hi! You 're only buying rice? I'm also buying plums and sea urchins to make a unidon (2) with plums! » she exclaimed, rather happily.
When it was finally Sasuke's turn to pay, he was on the brink of running away without paying.
« 590 yen, please (3),» said the cashier.
As soon as he payed and was handed the rice, he ran off as fast as it was humanly possible.
When Sasuke arrived home, he wasn't hungry anymore so he just packed himself a bento (4), changed into his uniform, brushed his teeth and went off to school..
It was only the past eight when he reached school. He went to the shoe lockers, opened his, took his shoes off, took his slippers out and put them on, put his shoes in the locker and walked slowly to his classroom.When he reached the room 1-6, he slid the door open and greated the few other classmates rather simply ,« Yo… », and walked to his designated desl, the one at the back of row next to the window. The best spot in the whole room, he thought as he sat down. A few minutes later, classmates started arriving. One of them had blond hair and was hard to miss in the crowd of black haired people.
« Yo, Sasuke! »he said
« Naruto, » he greeted and nodded his slightly.
« So, did you hear the rumor? »Naruto asked, casually
« Rumor? What rumor? Is it the one about Tamura and Shirogawa? » Sasuke enquired
« Not, that one's already a week old! »Naruto replied
« So, what is it? It can't be a transfer student, school only started three weeks ago! »
« Actually, it is a transfer student! Are you psychic or something? Anyway, the rumor says it's a girl! A girl, Sasuke! »Naruto exclaimed
« Yes, very nice. Now stop sputtering and get off my desk… » Sasuke answered
« You're so cold, Sasu-chan! »Naruto snickered
« Shut up, dead last… » Sasuke retorted
Naruto was about to retort something when the bell rang and the teacher came in.
« Sit down, you morons, » said the teacher casually, as if it were normal to talk like that to students.
Naruto sat down, his desk being right in front of Sasuke's
« I've got a surprise for you, even though you don't deserve it! I've managed to fling the new student into this class! Don't go thinking that it's just because the class' average mark is lower than the othet classes!
« So that's why… »thought the students
« Anyway, class, meet Haruno Sakura! She changed schools at the beginning of the year, even though it's very awkward and annoying since I now have to remember her name! But that's beside the point! She changed schools for family reasons! »'said the teacher as the new student entered the room.
« So…Let's see now… Where are you going to sit? Ah! There's a free desk next to Uchiha! »she exclaimed « Uchiha! Raise your hand so the new girl knows where to sit! »
Sasuke was, up until then, looking out of the window. He slowly turned his head and recognized the new student as being the annoying pink-haired girl. Half of his mind was screaming »Screw this! Jump out of the window! Anything is better than this! Jump out! » but he raised his hand instead and turned his attention back to the window and the wonders of the outside world and the freedom it promised. The girl seemed to have recognized him too and said « I'm sorry about this morning, Uchiha-san. I suppose I'm always over-excited when I arrive at a new town. I hope you don't hate me for what happened this morning. »
She sat down, but almost immediately got up again. »Sensei! I haven't received my books yet, what should I do, »she asked
« Yes.. Why don't you follow with Uchiha until you receive them? » the teacher proposed
« Okay! » She sat down and turned to Sasuke « I hope you don't mind, Uchiha-san… »
« Hm… Move your desk closer, I'm not moving… »Sasuke replied
« Okay! » The transfer smiled and moved her desk closer to his
« All this just because of rice… The gods must really be having a blast up there, » thought Sasuke while he explained things to the transfer.

(1)convenience store: in Japan, those stores have nearly everything, ranging from sunglasses to socks, and are open 24/7
(2)unidon: Japanese dish, made with rice and a layer of sea urchins
(3)590 yen: I have no idea what rice really costs in Japan
(4)bento:that's what Japanese usually eat when they're at work or at school. It's usually made of leftovers from dinner.

So what did you think of this first chapter? Like it? Hate it? Please tell me in your review…
My original idea for this fanfic was « Naruto, Pita Ten style » but my brain just planned it differently.
I'm also hoping to include pairings. If I do, the pairings will be sasusaku, naruhina, nejiten and shikaino.
