3rd Person POV

"Uzumaki Natsuki! Get off the desk, sit down correctly, and pay attention!" The teacher, Orochimaru, yelled at the young female blonde laying on the desk. Orochimaru, the science teacher for the young and the restless was an older man, say about mid 30s. His hair was dark black and long, reaching to the mid-back. He, in some ways, often resembled a snake and was quite proud of it too.

The blonde girl, now known as Uzumaki Natsuki, quickly picked up her head from where it was resting, on her left arm near the corner of her desk, while her eyelids remained closed. Orochimaru-sensei's normally sickly pale skin began to turn a vibrant red as milliseconds passed. The girl was mocking him unknowingly and now, the snake absolutely despised the bright blonde headed girl who always refused to pay attention in his, along with many other, classes.

She always preferred to sleep in the position she was in now. Her whole body, which really isn't much considering she's so petite, was thrown on top of the desk nearest to the back of the classroom in a fetal position. Orochimaru-sensei didn't understand it, but the girl continuously made better grades than those students who actually stayed fully awake and did their work. When it came to weekly quizzes and monthly exams, the girl usually woke in the last few minutes of class to complete her work and still, the blonde teen would best everyone in her class. There were only a few things Orochimaru could admit to, like the fact that he was completely fascinated with certain things, and one of them was that the few things that Uzumaki Natsuki did couldn't be done by just anyone, not even his favorite thing, Uchiha Itachi. To be able to complete a test that was designed to last at least four hours in under five minutes with the blurry haze of just waking up was not a small feat, but Uzumaki made it seem like a stroll in the park.

Uzumaki Natsuki was, both mentally and physically, a bright child. Although Orochimaru and his colleagues were typically on opposing sides when it came to a matter of opinion, the fact that Uzumaki is a bright child was something everyone could agree on… and her outstanding soundless sleep she had perfected over the years.

Natsuki has the brightest, most vibrant blonde hair in all of Wave Country. Her hair reaches past her waist, all the way down to the top part of her thigh that she usually had in a braid and tucked into her bright, overly large, orange jacket that she always wore. Her eyes are the brightest and most brilliant blue that held a spark in them. She was small for her 17 years, only standing at a small stature of 5'2. Although most would miss it because of the overly large jacket she wore, her figure was exceptionally… feminine. She could easily qualify as one of the most gorgeous girls inside of Shinobi Academy without trying, but because of her status as a scholarship student, most of her peers have shunned her, fearing 'social suicide' even with the smallest of words spoken. Although her peers have shunned her, Natsuki doesn't care, as a child she didn't have the luxury of having friends in between her scavenging for food and running from the mass mobs of her hometown with her older brother.

Shinobi Academy of the Arts was a school for the exceptionally gifted and rich students who attended it. Most of the students inside were incredibly rich, slightly gifted students who dreamed to become famous like their parents before them. You either had to have a lot of wealth or a lot of talent to be a student of the Academy. Those who weren't wealth, or wealthy enough, had to audition for a seat in the Academy. They had to be exceptionally gifted to even qualify for an audition, like Uzumaki Natsuki, or more often than not called, "The Scholarship Girl". While there were more scholarship students at the Academy, most go to great lengths to hide that fact from their peers. But not Natsuki, she, to be frank, didn't care what her peers thought of her.

Natsuki had gone great distances to be where she was. She worked hard to get into the school. To have a place to sleep at night and food in her stomach was something she would work hard to keep because she vowed to never have to live like that again. She was given a clean dorm with another scholarship student and a weekly allowance with just enough to buy all her necessary things. To continue getting everything all she had to do was make a minimum of a B average in all of her classes, something that continued to come easy to her.

The Academy was really two different schools, the high school and the college. Natsuki, and the rest of science class Orochimaru-sensei was so graciously teaching, all were second years in the High School section of the Academy. The college classes were all on the second floor of any academic building. During passing period, a good half hour to get to the next class, students could interact with any students and teachers alike. The Academy was simply just a small town reserved solely for those wishing to become something through study and hard work.

The bell rang, signaling the end of their class and the beginning if the hour lunch period. The class remained seated until Orochimaru-sensei dismissed them -much to Orochimaru's pleasure- except the blonde teen –much to his displeasure- in the back of the class. Having heard the bell, Uzumaki had slid off the top of her desk and robotically gotten her things without the use of sight to help her. Her eyes were closed as she walked to the front of the class and stopped right in front of a very annoyed Orochimaru. As Orochimaru opened his mouth to yell at his student, Natsuki sneezed cutely into his open mouth and moved her small body around the twitching older man and silently left the room.

The class sat there silently staring at the door the young Uzumaki had just used to leave the room.

"How does she know where she's going?" One student asked, breaking the silence.

"Who cares, as long as she gets hit by a bus on the way there." Haruno Sakura said with a scoff.

It was no secret that the cherry blossom of the class hand a great dislike for the blonde teen. No one knew why Sakura hated the girl so much, but it certainly ran deeper than the typical "Queen Bee bulling her subjects" fad that was still, surprisingly, in style.

Orochimaru regained his composure and moved to sit as his desk.

"Dismissed." Orochimaru said as he took out his reading glasses from the inside of his desk and began looking through his online grade book to enter fresh grades from today's class.

The all together the class stood up and began to gather up their things to head over to the Academy's cafeteria.

"Oh, Sasuke-kun, stay after class." Orochimaru-sensei chirped.

Said male sighed loudly while the rest of the class looked at the young Uchiha with pity.

Orochimaru-sensei was well known to be quite creepy around the student population, especially around the good-looking half of the population. He was well known by those in the college section as, to be put simply, a pedophile. Although he was particularly good-looking in his own way, age has not done him justice and he has a particular interest in the tall, dark, and unresponsive teenage male. His interests were certainly… creepy, but he was well known in the science world as a respected scientist. He never let his side interests get in the way of his life, his only stable joy, science and experiments.

Uchiha Sasuke was the youngest of all the Uchiha siblings that attended the Academy. The oldest Madara and his twin Izuna were instructors at the Academy, with Madara teaching various forms of dance and Izuna teaching the art of sculpting. Obito was third oldest, and in his sophomore year of college studying to become a director, and just a year below him was Itachi who was barely in his freshman year of college. Sasuke was the baby of the family, coming in two years after Itachi and seven years after the twins.

They all held the typical Uchiha traits, black hair, dark onyx eyes, and a pale complexion. They were a very attractive group of men, indeed. All of them, except Obito, had that mysterious air around them that girls typically considered attractive. Obito was the odd man out when it came to personalities. All of them had the quiet, rarely-talking mojo which made them mysterious in female eyes, except for Obito. Obito was incredibly loud and very un-Uchiha. Although Obito was the odd man out of the five siblings, he was the only one in a steady relationship with his significant other, Rin.

"Yes, Orochimaru-sensei?" Sasuke asked as he stood in front of Orochimaru's desk.

"It seems you've been failing to keep up with your work, Sasuke-kun." Orochimaru chided while continuing to punch in grade into his grade book.

"If it continues," He went on, "then you would fail the six weeks. We don't want that, now do we? You know what failing means, Sasuke-kun? You'd have to be taken out of your afternoon classes and put into my classroom, to spend some one-on-one with Orochimaru-sensei."

Sasuke inwardly shuddered at the thought. He barely liked being in Orochimaru's 30 minute classes every day. It would be purely insane if he allowed himself to fail science and get out of his afternoon classes. Heck, his afternoon classes are the only reason he bothered to come to any of his academic classes.

"Is there any work I can do before the end of the six weeks?" Sasuke asked in a painfully polite voice.

"Yes. Here's a packet of work that I want finished by next Wednesday. You're dismissed" Orochimaru-sensei said, handing Sasuke a thick packet of papers. Sasuke wasn't even sure if they had done this amount of work during the year. He wasn't even sure if they had done half the amount of work during the year.

Nodding, Sasuke quickly put the packet of papers in his bag and walked out of the classroom.

"SASUKE-KUN!" A shrill voice yelled coming from down the hallway. Looking up, Sasuke spotted the cherry blossom of the Academy, Haruno Sakura, grinning widely and waving ecstatically at the sight of him. The sound of her voice gave him chills down his spine. Although she certainly was beautiful with her bubblegum pink hair, unblemished skin, light complexion, rosy cheeks, and pouty red lips, Sasuke knew that her appearance could be very deceiving. Last year, when they were in their first year of high school, Sasuke and Sakura were the "it" couple on campus, until Sasuke thought it was a good idea for her, the cute and sweet innocent girl he thought she was, to meet the rest of his family, including his future sister-in-law, Rin. Rin and Obito have been dating for years, since they were in junior high, but they almost had grown up together. The Uchiha siblings have grown to the think of the young brunette as a sister, which within the year she would be. Needless to say, Sakura treated Rin worse than dirt because she didn't know who Rin was to the Uchiha, and that wasn't going to fly with Sasuke or any of the siblings, mostly Obito. Since then, Sakura has continuously tried to reconnect with the youngest Uchiha, but all of attempts to get Sasuke to even consider speaking to Sakura again had failed. Her voice made his head pound and she put too much perfume on for his overly sensitive nose. Sakura's presence was Sasuke's nightmare.

Inwardly sighing in frustration Sasuke leaned against the hallway wall. He hadn't been keeping up with any of his work since he was exposed to the thrilling side of Waves. Less than two months ago, his oldest brother Madara had taken Sasuke to the warehouse district, where Sasuke witnessed the greatest thing he had ever seen; underground racing, exciting fighting rings, and thrilling parties. That single Thursday night had changed Sasuke's life.

Madara had informed him that this was where most of the students of Shinobi Academy went on a good Thursday night, to see good fights, races, and attractive women in skimpy clothing dance. Some of the women who attended to just party even attended the Academy as students, including Sasuke's nightmare, The 'Queen Bee', Haruno Sakura. Everyone who was anyone came to these 'peaceful gatherings'. Madara even told him that the fighting and the races were for anyone who had the money to put them in the game. The following nights, Sasuke and his friends spent all their time in their private garage fixing up Sasuke's car to be in top shape for the next Thursday night racing.

The following Thursday night, Sasuke put pinched some of his savings and entered the race as one of the newbie street racers. The races lasted about an hour or two. Since he was a newbie, he had to race against the newbies. But with the exceptional skill at driving Sasuke possessed, he quickly rose up in the ranks as undefeated, even against the greatest veterans.

The warehouse district is the only place in the middle of Waves that no gang held claim too. Plus the warehouses provided just enough space to have the fights, races, and parties all in one area. Anyone could fight or race for money. Those who typically couldn't last in the ring partied like champions. People knew the no violence policy was always in effect, almost like an unspoken rule inside the warehouses. The only place in the district that allowed violence was the ring.

The fighting ring wasn't like wrestling or boxing rings. It was just a large part of space that was cleared when it was time to begin the fighting and could take any shape because it was the people surrounding to see the fight were the gates to separate the fighters from the rest of the people. The flooring was just loose dirt that all the warehouses had inside. Sasuke had been told that most of those fights are incredibly dangerous and every person who entered the ring wouldn't leave without a couple of scars, making Sasuke even more anxious to see one of the fights.

Sasuke looked up, hearing three sets of footsteps, to be greeted with the sights of his closest friends.

Hyuuga Neji was his oldest friend, often spending time with him when they were children. He's a year older than the rest of them but was held back due to the untimely death of his father, resulting in being in the same grade as them even though he was taking a few third-year classes. He had long brown hair and pale eyes that were hereditary in his family. Like Sasuke, Neji rarely spoke to anyone except his closest friends and family.

Next to Neji on the right was Inuzuka Kiba, his roommate for this year and their first year. He was tall like the rest of them, if not taller. He excelled in athletics, but need assistance when it came to academics and studying. He was not the brightest bulb in the pack. That was for sure. Kiba had the rugged look to him. His hair was dark brown, short, and untamed. He had two upside down red triangles on his cheeks, showing what clan he belonged too. Kiba was the friendliest person within their group and also the most outgoing. Although he is competitive, mainly due to the large amount of sports he plays, Sasuke was much worse when it came to winning or losing.

Next to Kiba was Sai. He was a scholarship student, but because he was paired with Neji in their first year and again this year, no one really gave him shit about it. He looked to like an Uchiha with the dark eyes and hair and a pale complexion. He was the shortest of them all, standing at 5'9". While Neji and Sasuke stood at 5'11" and Kiba at a good 6'0. Sai was not shy, but he rarely speaks mainly because Sai was the "call-it-like-he-sees-it" type of person. He was incredibly blunt to all who ask and didn't bat an eyelash when those he was blunt too charge at him like a large raging rhino.

"What did Orochimaru-sensei want?" Neji asked his oldest friend.

Sasuke sighed and reached into his bag, grabbing the large packet of papers Orochimaru had given him.

Silence greeted him until Kiba gaped, "That's more work than we've done all year!"

Sasuke nodded depressingly and quickly put the large pack of papers back into the safety of his bag.

"When is the packet due?" Neji asked as they began walking to their awaiting table inside Shinobi Academy's extravagant cafeteria that the high school and the college both shared.

"Next Wednesday." Sasuke answered, closing his eyes as a large sigh escaped his lips. 'I shouldn't have allowed myself to get so far behind.' He thought.

Sai's eyebrows pinched together, "That's less than a week from now."

"Don't remind me." Sasuke said coldly to his blunt friend.

Neji's eyes met Sasuke's. "Well," He said, "What are you going to do?"

Picking up his hand, Sasuke move it toward his neck and began to rub in a relaxing manor, "I need help. No way can I finish it all in less than a week."

Kiba sheepishly smiled, "You're my friend and all, but knowing me, I'd probably do more bad than good by helping."

Sasuke chuckled and he looked at his tall friend, "Thank the gods, I hoped you would say no to help me."

Kiba laughed loudly as they exited the science building and walked in the direction of the cafeteria, which was in the center of Shinobi Academy's campus.

Shinobi Academy had an extremely large campus. The student population was exceptionally large for such an expensive school. It was the school to go to if you wanted to be somebody famous in the world. The Academy housed all of their students in dorms, only being segregated by gender. The guy's dorms were on one side of the campus while the girl's were on the other. The campus also had a large garage near the farthest edge of the campus, used by teachers and students alike. Near the entrance of the campus was a large library. To the right of the library is the administration office and other school necessities. On the opposite side of the garage was a dry cleaner, and to the right of it was a Laundromat. Right in the dead center was the large cafeteria. On different parts of the campus were several other buildings used for education. The smallest buildings on campus were the academic buildings that were placed in various areas of Shinobi Academy . In the four corners of the campus were four other buildings, for the different arts. One was for artists that used paints, clay, or any other material to make something amazing. Another building was for the art of dance. Another was used for those wishing to become a director or a photographer. The last one was used for those who wanted to become the face of fame, actors and singers alike.

All of the buildings were painted on the outside to represent what the buildings were used for by the painters of the academy to beautify the campus. The library was had a bunch of books painted on it, while the cafeteria had different foods on it. The buildings for the arts were painted to represent their differences. The singing and acting building was painted to look like a set to play, while the directing and photographing building was painted to look like a large camera. The dance building was had different dances painted on it, the most noticeable dancer was the ballerina. The artistic building was painted with various different objects the painters wanted to paint, a large collage of what was on the painters' minds. The academic buildings were painted with things relating to the subject on it. The science building had the several things like beakers and goggles painted in random places, while the literature had what looked like small snippets of novels and poetry, math had the whole pi number all around the building, while history had monuments from all over the world painted on.

Finally reaching their destination, the most wanted males in the high school section entered the cafeteria. Inside, the cafeteria was grand. The walls were painted a relaxing green with a dark green served as the color of the curtains. Several famous nature painting decorated the wall. Without hesitation, the four made their way to their table, a table that has been claimed by them since their first year. Several greetings from their peers (fangirls) reached their ears as they smirked and greeted back. The reached their table and quickly spread out, taking as much room as possible to eliminate any chance someone attempting to sit with them.

A cute girl with light brown hair and eyes to match walked towards them with a small notepad in her hand.

"What will it be?" She asked smiling with a slight blush tinting her pale cheeks.

"The large fruit platter, please." Sai said, smiling back at the girl.

The girl's blush grew as she quickly wrote down the pale man's order.

"To share?" She asked.

Neji answered, "Yes."

"Anything else?" She asked, looking up from her notepad.

"Water for the four." Kiba said.

Nodding happily the girl said, "Okay your order will be right out." And slowly began to turn around in hopes of one of them in the group would stop her leaving.

"Wait!" Sasuke called out.

The girl turned around quickly and smiled seductively at him, "Yes?" She purred.

"Don't forget the tomatoes." He said coldly at the female.

The girl dropped her expression, "What?" she gasped.

"Don't forget the tomatoes."

The girl pinched her eyebrows in confusion.

Noticing the girl's confusion, Sasuke answered, "We ordered the fruit platter. Tomatoes are fruits. Make sure there are tomatoes." He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

The girl blushed quickly in embarrassment and nodded before speeding off in the direction of the kitchen.

"You should ask the Uzumaki to help you." Kiba said randomly as their food and water arrived.

"Huh?" Sasuke asked as he bit into a tomatoes slice.

Kiba sighed, "Natsuki Uzumaki, one of the smartest people in our grade."

"How do you know that?" Sai asked.

A small but noticeable tint of pink rose to Kiba's tattooed cheeks, "Well, uh… When they pin up class ranks every couple of weeks, I always see her rank in the top 5."

"You expect to be ranked in the top 5?" Neji asked.

Kiba awkwardly laughed as his blush deepened, "Uh… yeah?"

Sai blinked, "How is she in the top 5 if she's always asleep?"

Kiba shrugged his shoulders as he reached to get a strawberry from the plate to eat. He put it inside his mouth…

"She's actually really cute." Neji said, looking up in thought.

And proceeded to choke Kiba did.

"Yes, really cute." Sai agreed.

Sasuke pinched his eyebrows together in confusion. He would be lying if he said he knew who his friends were talking about. The name sounded greatly familiar to him.

"Who is Uzumaki Natsuki?" He asked his friends. They each turned to look at him with widened eyes.

"We just had class with her!" Kiba all but shouted at his friend.

"How is it the most popular boy doesn't know who the infamous Uzumaki Natsuki is?" Sai mused.

"Who is she?" He asked again.

Neji sighed loudly, "We have her next period, and we'll point her out to you."

Sasuke nodded and continued to eat his tomatoes as he was lost in thought.

The bell rang quickly snapping the youngest Uchiha out of his thoughts.

Quickly the four made their way towards the school gym that was oddly off of school grounds, but before they reached their destination Sasuke had spotted his older brothers and their select group of friends. Since they left the cafeteria early, making a quick detour wouldn't hurt anyone.

Quickly making his way to greet them, he was quickly spotted by the only blonde of the group, Deidara.

"Look, baby came to say hello, yeah." He said, making the group turn towards where he was looking, quickly meeting eyes of the youngest Uchiha.

Sasuke glared at the pale blonde male. And the male glared back.

"Hey, you guys know of Uzumaki Natsuki?" Kiba asked the group.

"That bitch is fucking hot!" Hidan yelled.

Several of the male in the group nodded in agreement, including Sasuke's brother Itachi, surprising the four friends.

"Man, I hope she likes tapes and CDs." Hidan groaned out.

"Why?" Kiba asked, genuinely curious.

"So I can tape this dick to her face so she ca-" Hidan's head snapped forward as it met the palm of Tobi's hand.

"Tobi won't like it if Natsu-chan's innocent ears were tainted with Hidan-words!" He yelled childishly.

"Innocent? Since when was she fucking innocent?" Hidan yelled back as he gripped is now throbbing head.

Deidara began laughing, "Hey, remember when she threw away Hidan's-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, DEIDARA!" Hidan roared before attacking the poor blonde man.

"Or when she lit his teddy bear-" Deidara continued as he countered Hidan's attacks.

"I fucking swear, Deid-"

"Or when she dyed his hair while he-"

"Deidara, if you don't shut the fuc-"

"Or when she drugged the shit out of him and made him think he was a "Booteeful butterfly"?"

"She really did that?" Kiba asked Itachi.

Itachi nodded and chuckled wholeheartedly as he brought up the memory.

"I haven't seen that girl in a while." Kisame, the blue, tall, shark of man said sadly.

"You can come with us to the gym because we have her for the class." Sai invited the college group.

"TOBI WANTS TO GO!"

"Tobi, why the fuck do you want to fucking go if she's just going to be fucking running?" Hidan asked he wrestled his blonde friend on the ground.

"IT'S WARM OUTSIDE!" Tobi yelled as it was most obvious thing.

"So fucking what?" Hidan growled.

"It is warm outside." Deidara said with wide eyes.

"And what the fuck?" Hidan asked as he pulled Deidara's long blonde hair.

Deidara sighed at his friend's slow thinking, "Warm outside air plus exercise equals intense heat…"

"Intense heat equals jacketless Natsu…." Hidan finished

"WE WANT TO GO TOO!" They yelled simultaneously as they got up from the ground.

Itachi shook his head at his friends, but he couldn't help but agree with them for wanting to see the young Uzumaki. He had known the young girl since she was in orphanage with her older brother. Her older brother, Kurama, was incredibly protective of the girl. Itachi couldn't blame him, with their past and the girl's good looks even then, Itachi would be just as protective of her, if not worse. When Kurama had ran away from the orphanage with little Natsuki in his arms, Itachi couldn't have been more proud of the older boy. Whenever Itachi would see them around Konoha, their hometown, he always made sure to give them something, whether it be money or food. Itachi basically had seen little Natsuki grow up, up until when he had to leave their large town to attend the Academy in his first year of high school.

"You know this Uzumaki?" Itachi's youngest brother asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Yes." Itachi nodded.

Sasuke's brow crunched together in confusion, "How?"

A small nostalgic smile graced Itachi's lips, "She's an old friend, baby brother."

"C'mon, guys! Let's be the first to get to gym so we can complete our daily warm up!" Kiba yelled with enthusiasm.

"How is she an old friend?" Sasuke asked as the now larger group walked towards the Academy track.

"Natsu-chan lived in Konoha."

Sasuke raised a brow at the familiar way his brother was speaking of Uzumaki. It seemed that everyone knew who the girl was except him. How was that possible? From what he had gathered so far was that she was in the same grade as him and even lived in Konoha. If that's true than the girl should have been in the same primary school all the way up until junior high as he, so how is it he doesn't know the girl. She knows 2 out of 5 of his brothers, and with Itachi stating she's an old friend, how could it be possible that he doesn't know who she is?

Sasuke was confused, that was an understatement.

"If she lived Konoha than how come her name doesn't ring a bell? She had to be in the same class as me at one point in primary." Sasuke asked, ignoring everything that was going on around them.

Itachi closed his eyes as a long sigh escaped his lips, "She never went to school up until this one."

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock as he processed what was being said, "How is that possible?" He asked.

"That is not my tale to tell, baby brother." Itachi said opening his eyes to look at his baby brother.

"Be careful, last time someone asked her about it she beat the shit out of 'em." Deidara said fondly.

"Who'd she beat up?" Sai asked, genuinely curious.

"FUCK YOU, BITCH! SHE DIDN'T BEAT ME!" Hidan roared at Deidara.

Deidara snickered, "So what is called when she hurls you through walls and breaks at least a quarter of your bones?"

Kiba gulped loudly, "She did all that?"

Deidara snaps his head to look at Kiba with amusement laced in his eyes, "She can do worse." He said with a large sadistic smile.

"Natsu-chan! I'm coming to you!" Tobi yelled as he took off running in the direction of the track.

"20 bucks says she throws him." Deidara said to Hidan.

"You're on!" Hidan yelled as he shook hands with his best friend/ worst enemy.

"Does she throw people often?" Sai asked Neji.

"Women are weak; she wouldn't be able to lift a small child." Neji said as they continued to walk.

Hidan and Deidara laughed hysterically. With tears is his eyes Deidara said, "You should really see her fight sometime."

"She fights… often?" Sai asked.

"Every Thursday." Itachi said.

Kiba's eyes widened slightly, "She's one of the people in the fighting ring in the underground?"

Thank you, and sorry for the short read. I may or may not continue this story.

Don't forget to show support, in any way you can.

Thank you and good day.
