O.O.A.U.S. Mukurin: Haha, when I write the acronym I think of Australia, I feel the actual title is messy though. Ahem, I deleted my old story because I felt I've matured too much to be writing a magical girl fan fiction, and I haven't posted my Personality Switcharoo fanfic, because I lost all my drafts. Trust me. I've looked everywhere! -whines- Chapter One
Organization of Alienated, Unknown Secrets
Hinata: -writes down- Yes, we're sorry if you were a fan, but it's been a few years, and Mukurin-san didn't feel she could pick up the story again even though it was planned out. Also, don't worry something will be thought of for the drafts!
Mukurin: Unfortunately, that's the case. But this is a new story, with new hopes, personalities and characters.
Oh yeah, Rippa-Ha is the short version of the school's name, but the name isn't a plot device so I don't feel I need to include the full version. Alright, start us off, Hinatacchi!
Hinata: -writes down- Of course! Naruto doesn't belong to Mukurin-san!
Underline = Hinata writing down on her communication board
Italics = thoughts
Bold = Yelling, sound effects, etc.
He looked down at the shorter, pink haired girl as she calmly sat across from him at his desk.
"Yes, sir, I'm transferring next week."
The man sighed, crossing his arms, "That mother of yours, she got another job then?"
"Yes, sir."
His bespectacled, blue haired assistant quietly stood in the dimly lit corner, watching over them as she clutched a folder to her chest.
"Alright then, conduct studies in this town as well, but as always,"
"Don't tell a soul." The girl finished.
The man nodded, a subtle smile making its way onto his face.
"I've taught you well, Haruno-san."
"Indeed." the girl agreed.
"Alright, you're dismissed." The man said, uncrossing his arms and pulling himself out of his chair.
"Yes, Kojima-sama." The girl exited the room.
Kojima turned toward his assistant, "Kouko, do you have it with you?"
"Yes, Kojima-sama, it's encased in this folder…"
12 Minutes Later
Room 5 Grade B
That's what said on Sakura's bedroom door in the dormitories. The colors on this floor were aqua blue and white.
Everyone's legal guardian was told that they lived there so they could stay out of their ways- that was true, Sakura lived at home and the dormitories, but people apart of this discreet organization were living here for other reasons as well.
The girl slowly entered the room, quietly shutting the door behind her.
"Oh, Sakura-chan, welcome back!" A girl with short brown hair tied into double buns happily greeted her.
A quiet, lavender haired girl sitting in the corner of the room on her neatly made bed quickly picked up the dry erase board, gracefully writing each character in a calligraphic way.
"Welcome back, Sakura-chan."
The pink haired girl, now known as Sakura, smiled, "Hi Tenten, Hi Hinata."
"What were you talking to Kojima-sama about?" Tenten asked, pulling the girl further into the room.
Sakura released from her grasp, walking over to her bed and sitting down, "I was telling him I was transferring to Rippa-Ha."
Tenten and Hinata's eyes widened in surprise.
"You are?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah, it's going to be great now that we'll all be working in the same town." Sakura hummed, kicking her legs onto the bed- shoes off, of course.
Tenten grinned, "Wow! Why didn't you tell us, this is great! I'll have to tell the others!"
"I wasn't expecting it to be such a big deal, Tenten."
"Nn, you're not serious are you? You're one of the only people in the Land of Fire who were researching out of Konoha! How'd you manage anyway, it must have been a hassle!" Tenten exclaimed, nodding her head.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan; although she's acting this way, you know she's happy that you're moving to Konoha."
Sakura giggled, reading over what the silent girl had wrote.
"Ah! H-Hinata, sheesh, stop telling people what I mean." Tenten slightly blushed.
The girl only smiled in response.
"Anyway, we're happy that you can finally come with us, there's a few hotspots that are great to visit in the city."
"Yeah, I can't wait to see." Sakura smiled at the girl.
"Yay~! Alright, this is great!" Tenten quickly ran out of the room, running to tell the others living on the same floor.
"Where'd she get all that energy? She's like a child…" Hinata wondered.
"I don't know Hinata, but that's Tenten for us." Sakura sighed, slightly envious.
Hinata nodded, sighing as well.
"…So what does the school uniform look like?"
Six Days Later
11:50 PM
"…" Sakura sat there on the roof of the dormitories, looking at her surroundings.
Of course, she saw the forest that surrounds the area, a place that can hide things very well; it was full of animals ready to protect their home.
Then she looked down at the Main Building, Research Lab, and the gate to go on and off campus.
This was O.O.A.U.S. The Organization of Alienated, Unknown Secrets. A hush-hush type of organization where everyone was retrieving ancient treasures, and secrets that have been forcibly hidden from view.
Sakura had been promoted to Grade B a few months ago, having found an old book on dangerous criminals with high bounties on their heads, she didn't see the point of having it, but for some reason, Kojima-sama found it helpful, the girl never questioned though.
Sakura looked up at the dark sky, looking for constellations. "The world truly is full of mysteries…"
"Of course, that's why we work here, right?"
"Ah." Sakura slightly flinched at the sound of a male's voice.
By the door stood a red haired boy. This was Sakamoto Hideki, a Grade A member who's always been successful at finding things. Some people are afraid of him though, because of his sharp stare and the fact the he keeps a real katana is his room 'just in case'.
"Sakamoto-san…" she mumbled, looking back at the stars. Oh, I found Virgo…
He walked over and took a seat next to her, "So I guess you're nervous about going to a different school, huh?"
Sakura looked over at him, "How did you…?"
Hideki slightly chuckled, "We may live on different floors, but your friend's voice travels…"
"I see…" Oh, Tenten, why don't you ever remember your inside voice? Sakura shook her head.
"Don't worry, Haruno-san. Rippa-Ha is a great school, some teachers are strange, but it's a good place."
"Oh…"
There was a moment of silence, both of the looking up at the sky. So many… I wish I could count them all…
"Ne, Sakamoto-san, did you know that when you looked up at the night sky, you're actually seeing into the past?"
"Actually, yes, I did." he replied. Sakura smiled slightly.
"It's 11:57, we should be asleep by now…" The boy stood up holding out a hand to help Sakura up.
Sakura stared at his hand for a second, the grabbed it, being pulled up. "Yeah, you're right…"
The walked down back into the building, every hall was dimly lit by night-lights sitting in every corner that needed it.
They were on the Grade S floor, the colors on this floor were burnt orange and gold, then 24 steps later, they reached the Grade A floor, the colors being black and white.
Hideki walked over to the door of his room, placing his hand on the doorknob. His head turned to look back at Sakura. "Goodnight, Haruno-san."
"Goodnight, Sakamoto-san."
And with that, he had turned his head back and walked into his room.
Sakura blinked repeatedly, wondering why Hideki was up in the first place…
Sakura had reached the Grade B floor, at last. The hallway was quiet, causing her to be slightly weary. Why is it nighttime so creepy after 11:30...?
Just as she was about to reach for the knob…
SMASH!
Sakura flinched turning her head down to the stairs descending to the first floor.
"DAMMIT!"
Her eyes widened, running down the stairs.
Sakura peaked around the corner of a wall, seeing Kojima's back facing her.
He was crouching on the ground, hands gloved.
What's Kojima-sama doing in the dormitories?
Kojima slowly picked up a glowing red fragment, "Damn, slippery-ass floor…"
What's that glowing thing in his hand?
"No, it broke!" he angrily sighed, "He's gonna lash out on me, I just know it…"
He?
Sakura tried getting a better view, but as she was about to be adjusted, "Hiccup!"
Her facial expression changed drastically, quickly placing her hand on her mouth.
Crap, of all the times…
"Who's there?"
Kojima hurriedly picked up the rest of the red fragments, hiding them in his pockets, and ran off to where he heard the sound, running around the corner.
No one was there.
"They got away…" Kojima chuckled, "They won't next time…"
He took the pieces out of his pockets, "I don't see why these bothering things can't make contact with human skin, just makes it harder to move them from one place to another…"
"Damn, he's gonna be pissed…"
Room 5 Grade B
Sakura sat on the floor against the door, knees up against her chest.
She still had her hand on her mouth, muffled hiccups coming out once in awhile.
What just happened?
She looked up at Tenten and Hinata as the slept. Tenten was snoring while hugging a pillow and Hinata still had her marker clenched in her hand, arm off the side of the bed.
Right, sleep… She looked at her alarm clock.
12:05 AM.
Sakura nodded, standing up, hand still on her mouth, and grabbed clothing out of her drawer and walked into the attached bathroom.
She grabbed a paper cup, and filled it with water at the sink.
"Hah…" she inhaled, drinking the whole cup.
If this doesn't get rid of my hiccups, I swear…
She quietly coughed, trying to regain her breath.
Now Sakura was in her pajamas, hiding under her covers, ready to sleep.
What's going on with Kojima-sama?
She buried her face in her pillow.
Tomorrow, er, Today, Sakura was going to Konoha.
Chapter One END. Mukurin: Yosh, I finished the first chapter! -wipes forehead-
Hinata: -writes down- Congratulations!
Mukurin: Thank you Hinatacchi~!
Mukurin: Ah, oh yeah, the first floor's colors are mint green and brown.
Hinata: -writes down- Mint Chocolate Chip! Yum.
Mukurin: I didn't want to write the colors in because it seemed like an inappropriate time, orz. And yes, Hinatacchi, Mint Chocolate Chip is good.
Hinata: We hope you enjoyed the first chapter of O.O.A.U.S.!
