Naruto AU
Sakura x Stuegetsu
Sakura watched Sasuke from her seat inside her classroom as he walked into the school.
She had been wanting to confess her feelings to him but somehow she can't get the courage to do so.
"Sakura! My little flower! How has life been for you?!" That was the voice of the one person who knew about Sakura's plan to confess and has been trying to stop her since childhood.
"Suigetsu Hozuki!" She shouted attempting to swing her fist at him.
He turns to water and her fist goes right through him. "My my. How mean Sakura." He said smiling.
Sakura has wanted to pound him into Hell for the longest time. Even her rival Ino and Karin have been wanting to do the same thing.
"Why would you want to hit me?" He asked.
Sakura glared at him. "What do you want Suigetsu?" She asked knowing he would tell anyone about her plan if she didn't do what he asked.
"I want you to study with me." He said. This was a new thing.
Normally he would ask her to get him pictures of other girls or even allow him to sneak into the girls locker room.
But this was different. "Study?"
"Karin says she won't help me for the midterm. So if you help me..." Suigetsu was actually beet red. "I'll let you and Sasuke have your alone time. So you can do what you want. Off the hook." He said.
Sakura was in shock.
"Suigetsu! What are you doing to Sakura?!" That was Ino and Naruto at the door.
Sakura had to be in the same class as them along with Kiba and Shino.
Suigetsu was in a class with Karin, Hinata, Neji, Shikamaru, and Choji.
Sasuke was with Temari, Jugo, Yenten, Rock Lee, and Sai.
Garra and Konkero are at a different school.
Sakura waited for Suigetsu to say something like, she's giving me advice on how to ask out a girl, or she's giving me the homework assignment that I forgot to do.
"I'm just thanking her for all the help she's doing for me." He said. "And hoping she'll help me one last time before midterms." He winked at her and left the classroom.
"Are you alright, Sakura?" Naruto asked.
Sakura nodded. "I'm fine. Just caught off guard was all." She said. And she really was.
During class Sakura couldn't help but think about Suigetsu's offer. If she took it she could finally confess to Sasuke.
But helping Suigetsu with the midterm was another matter.
True he was a terrible student. Worse then Naruto. But if this is what it takes to get to Sasuke then...
"Miss Haruno. Are you with us?" The teacher asks.
Sakura nods and class continues.
After class ended Sakura headed to her next room. But...
"Sakura!" It was Suigetsu.
"Fine." Sakura said. Suigetsu looked almost shocked.
"But we meet in the library during lunch and after school." She said.
Suigetsu was surprised Sakura agreed to this deal. Guess she really likes Sasuke.
Suigetsu laughed and nodded. "Deal. Lunch and after class in the library." He repeated.
His charming smile made girls near by feel faint but for Sakura it just made her feel like punching him.
"I'll see you after class today." Sakura said walking away.
Suigetsu smiled but he had other plans.
What are you smiling about?" Sasuke came up behind him and asked.
He was his "normal" self but to Suigetsu something was off.
"Just teasing Sakura Haruno is all." He said.
"Didn't I say not to get involved with her?" He asked.
"Yes. But she won't bother you. I made a deal with her she couldn't refuse." He said.
"I hope you hold it to your word." Sasuke said. "It be a shame to ruin your fun with her don't you think?" Sasuke knew what he was planning and was telling him to follow it. Or else.
Suigetsu sighed. "Got it. I'll keep her busy." He said. It was better Sakura didn't know.
Sakura waited in the library for almost and hour before finally leaving. "I should have known he wouldn't show up." She said.
She stood up for a second when...
"He's running late." Sakura froze. It was Jugo. "He's normally like this. It's why Karin never wanted to help him. I can't because I have a short temper and Sasuke... He'll have him expelled if he doesn't get his grades up." Jugo explained.
Sakura felt bad. It would be a relief if Suigetsu left the school. "Sasuke doesn't want him to leave?" Sakura asks.
"No. But he can't have someone with half a brain stay in his little group. Karin is smart but she's not that smart." Jugo said. "Even I'm not that smart. But only because I was in more trouble then he was."
Sakura sighed. "I'll stay another ten minutes then." She said sitting back down.
Jugo smiled and left the library.
Suigetsu finally came and Sakura wanted to get this over with. Just one week and Sasuke was all hers.
"Sorry I'm late." He said.
Sakura glared at him waiting for him to sit in the seat.
Suigetsu sighed but sit down across from Sakura.
"Are you wearing make up?" Suigetsu asked out of curiosity. Sakura was wearing make up. But only because she had to meet her parents for a family dinner. "Yes. I am. Family always wants me to look my best." She told him. "Now, let's get started."
Over the next few hours, Suigetsu learned from Sakura about science, math, and history.
"You really are good at essays." Sakura said while on the computer. She heard he was a writer for a news club. Turns out he's more like an author.
"You-" Suigetsu saw which one she was reading. "How?" He asked.
Sakura spun in the chair to look at him. "Three days. And you never asked about English. You do have some good potential." Sakura said.
Suigetsu was surprised. She was the first one to say something about his writing.
"You plan on working with newspaper or magazines?" Sakura asked. "Or becoming a reporter?"
Suigetsu was really surprised. A girl was interested in what he was doing. Karin sure knew of what he wanted to do but...never had nice things to say.
"Um...Maybe." He said flustered.
Sakura smiled a genuine smile. "Well if that's what you want to do then don't let anyone stop you." She said.
And that's the end of part one!
Too much writing as it is for me.
Hope you like it so far!
