A/N: This is my first Naruto fic. Go me! This story is dedicated to Sori, Kisa, Ita, and Toby. I love you all. I know the whole AU highschool thing is probably over-done, but whatever. This is AU with a twist. And I like twists. LOL
Summery: It's not easy being a high-school Freshman. When your elder brother is a Senior and the lead singer of Akatsuki, a famous band, you're the obsession of every girl in your class, and the guy you hated since Kindergarden is suddenly starting to look attractive to you, things start seeming evenharder. Add crazy teachers to the mix and you're in for a wild ride. And they said high school can be boring...
Warning: There will be Shonen-Ai content here. If you don't like this, then don't read it. No one is twisting your arm and saying "Look. A SasuXNaru pairing, read now". You are perfectly free to leave, and I ask you do so if such pairings offend you. Flames from people soley because they dislike my pairings will NOT be tolerated. I'm slightly evil, I will make flamers who flame because of my pairings appear to be the biggest assholes on the planet. Don't do it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, its characters, or anything of that sort. I also don't own the songs the band is singing. Lyrics have been translated/altered to make sense, and can be from Saint Seiya, WeiB Kruez, or Samurai Troopers, depending what I find appropriate. All I own is this fanfiction, the fanfiction's plot, an Akatsuki cloak, and a slashed Leaf headband. I am a high school Senior myself, so suing me would be kind of pointless. So I'll make you a deal-you don't sue, and I won't cry...
Alright! Ready! Go!
The light in their eyes proves purity. They are like shooting stars-they must burn themselves to gleam. They fight really like ancient heros. They all go, their team is tight, because they share one soilder's dream.
Fourteen-year-old Uchiha Sasuke pried his eyes open to the sound of heavy music blasting. He glanced at his clock-4:30 in the morning. He grumbled. While most people were fast asleep at this hour, trying to cling to the last hour or whatever they had left to sleep, his 17-year-old brother, Itachi, and Itachi's friends were wide awake, practicing for their next concert. You see, Uchiha Itachi was not your average 17-year-old boy. He was the lead singer of a famous band called Akatsuki. Itachi and three of his friends since grade school had started their band two years ago, however, it was only recently that the four friends were struck with popularity.
Sasuke sighed and swung his legs over the side of his bed to tell them off for being so loud. Maybe they didn't care that they had school in three hours' time, but he needed his rest. It was his first day at his new school, for crying out loud. Abruptly, the music stopped playing. A male voice called out "Ew! No! Kisame, don't play the guitar with your tounge, un! That's gross!" which was followed by laughter.
"Orochimaru would do it", a second voice said once the laughter died away.
"Orochimaru is weird, un! You don't want to be like him, un!"
"Shh. Keep it down, or we'll wake up Sasuke-kun", a new voice cut in.
"Too late", Sasuke said, looking at the four band members. All of them wore pajamas.
"Oh! We're sorry, un.", the first voice replied. It belonged to a very pretty boy who wore half his blond hair in a ponytail high on his head. The other half rested against his shoulder blades, and he had bright blue-green eyes. He really looked like a girl, a fact that wasn't helped much by the fact that his pajamas were pink with little red cherries all over them. His name was Deidara, he'd met Itachi back in the second grade.
"Well, how do you expect the kid to sleep with you two carrying on about the band teacher?", a boy with short red hair asked, his reddish-brown eyes sharp, but not unkind. He was pale, and wore a set of red pajamas that complimented his eye color. His name was Sasori, and he had joined Itachi's crew in the fifth grade.
"We can't be serious all the time. We're sacrificing sleep to do this, we might as well have some fun doing this". This was Kisame, Itachi's best friend since Kindergarden, though Sasuke privately thought that the relationship between Kisame and his brother might be warmer than friendship. Kisame had messy black hair and a very shark-like appearance. He was taller than the other boys by easilly a foot, possibly more, and wore a pair of deep navy pajamas.
"Are you ready for your first day?", Sasuke's brother asked. He was wearing white pajamas with a matching bathrobe. Itachi looked almost exactly like an older version of Sasuke, except he wore his hair long and neat, while Sasuke's hair often looked like he'd gotten into a fight with a weedwacker and the weedwacker had won. Rich black hair hung to the middle of Itachi's back, except for the front, which hung around his pale face, and his dark eyes were glowing in mischief. Sasuke scowled.
"Why don't you go practice somewhere else?", he practically snarled at his older brother. Itachi could be so annoying sometimes.
"Awww. Does the little baby need his beauty sleep because he's not as attractive as his older brother?", Itachi teased playfully.
"Newsflash, we have the same face". The older Uchiha brother might have been in the mood to play around, but the younger was sleep-deprived, facing his first day at a new school, and just generally in a foul mood.
"But I have better hair". Itachi tossed his gleaming hair as though to make a point, a smirk on his face. "Anyhow, we're done now. We're going to pack up, get dressed, and grab some breakfast before we head to school. If you hurry, you can join us".
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Might as well. I'm awake now".
"That's the spirit. Plus sitting with us for breakfast will earn you the attention of all the pretty young girls-not that you'll need me, of course. You're an Uchiha, after all".
"Whatever". Sasuke stalked off towards his room to grab some clothes so he could take a shower. Something told him that this was going to be a very long day.
There was one good thing about Itachi's driving-it was so terrifying, it sent a person into fight or flight mode the moment the older Uchiha placed the key into the ignition and pressed the emergency brake down. For the life of him, Sasuke could not figure out how Itachi had managed to get a driver's license, though he suspected that the instructor had been a female, and Itachi had wooed her with his good looks. His brother was devious like that. Currently Sasuke was seated in the backseat of Itachi's car between Deidara and Sasori. Kisame was the unlucky person who had to be in the front seat with Itachi.
"I don't think I'm hungry anymore, un", Deidara said fifteen-minutes later as they pulled into the resteraunt parking lot. His pretty face was pinched, as though he was fighting the urge to throw up. Sasuke knew how he felt, his own stomach felt as though he had swallowed twenty living snakes.
"I think I need an ambulance", Kisame grunted. His head had smacked the window more than once when Itachi had stopped short-and this was because he was wearing a seatbelt.
"Aw, you're all fine", Itachi said. He was in a vey good mood, something Sasuke was prepared to strangle him for. Why should Itachi get to be so happy when he and the other boys felt like they were about to die. Itachi had hydroplaned on sand-sand, of all things. How was it even possible to hydroplane on sand?
"LAND!", Kisame called as they all exited Itachi's car. He was on his hands and knees, hugging the pavement, while other resteraunt patrons stared. Sasori was supporting Deidara, who still looked as though he were going to be sick. Sasuke then realized he was pretty lucky-he'd been in the middle seat, safely tucked between the two older boys, and therefore had managed to escape without any bumps or bruises. The bump that was starting to form on Kisame's forehead did not look too pleasent.
"I thought I heard a ruckus. What are you doing?". A girl around Itachi's age stepped forward. She wore her blond hair in four ponytails, and her deep green eyes flashed with amusement. Her name was Temari, and she was in Itachi's grade. Sasuke was familiar with her because her younger brother Kankuro hung out with Itachi's crew, and her other younger brother, Gaara, had been in Sasuke's classes for as long as he could remember. Also with the siblings was Sasuke and Itachi's own cousin, Toby (A/N: If you're familar with Toby, you'll know why I made him their cousin, and if you're not, well, either look him up, or pretend he's an OC). Toby, a Junior like Kankuro, had been trying to get Itachi to let him join Akatsuki for a while now. Unfortunately, Akatsuki already had a lead singer, and Toby was dangerous with musical instruments, so Toby was left out of the band. He wasn't on bad terms with Itachi, though, as he still continued to hang around with his group.
"Deidara, how are you doing?", Toby asked, smiling at the blond. Deidara's response was to hide behind Sasori. It was well-known that Toby had a crush on the playful and energetic blond, however, Deidara seemed to like Sasori, which made quite an interesting love triangle. Everyone laughed at Deidara's repsonse to Toby.
"Do you guys want to join us for breakfast?", Kisame asked. He had finally gotten off the floor thanks to a kick from Itachi.
Temari shook her head. "We actually just finished. We're heading to the school now to show Gaara around so he won't get lost".
"I'll stay with you guys for breakfast!", Toby said happilly. "I think I still have room!"
"Oh, goodie. I can hardly believe my luck, un", Deidara mumbled as Toby threw his arm around his shoulders. Sasori looked mildly annoyed with Toby's behavior.
"Ah, It's ok, guys. Toby can join us for breakfast. We'll put him in the trunk when it's time to go to school", Itachi said.
"Yay! I get to ride in the trunk!"
Temari and Kankuro laughed, and Gaara rolled his eyes.
"We'll see you guys later", Kankuro called. He and his brother and sister then walked away, leaving Sasuke and the Akatsuki members alone with the demented Toby. Sasuke sighed-Toby reminded him of this boy, Naruto, who was in his grade. Naruto annoyed Sasuke to no end, so breakfast with Toby was not a pleasent experience for the younger Uchiha brother.
"Do you have enough syrup on your waffles, Deidara? They don't look very sweet..." Toby was at it it again. Poor Deidara. Sasuke would go crazy if he had someone like Toby trying to get his affections.
"They're sweet enough, un. I don't like lots of sugar this early in the morning, un"
"The morning time is the best time to have sugar."
"Leave him alone", Sasori cut in. He wasn't eating anything, just sipping a cup of plain black coffee. "If he doesn't want to drown his waffles in syrup, that's his choice. He's the one who's eating them" Sasori, like Sasuke, was already annoyed with Toby.
Toby sighed. It wasn't his fault he found the blond so attractive. He tapped his fingers on the table idilly. He twitched his foot. He looked around at other people who were staring at him. He sighed and stretched his arms across the table. His arm collided with Itachi's orange juice. Itachi jumped, so the juice fell onto the seat, some of it splashing onto Kisame.
"Toby", Kisame growled.
Toby blushed. "Sorry".
Sasuke had never been happier to reach a school in his life. Toby was driving him crazy. Sadly, Itachi had not stuck Toby in the trunk, no. Toby had been stuck in the back seat with him and Sasori. To make matters worse, poor Deidara had had to sit on Toby's lap on the way back to the school.
"Alright guys", Itachi said, once everyone had recovered from his horrible driving. "I'm going to show Sasuke around the school. You guys go on ahead, I'll meet up with you later".
"Deidara and I have art class together", Toby proclaimed happilly.
"Come on, Love Boy", Sasori mumbled, pulling Toby away from Deidara. He, Deidara, and Sasori soon vanished from sight, leaving Itachi, Kisame, and Sasuke standing in the hall.
"Catch ya later, Itachi!", Kisame called, waving. Then he, too, was gone from view.
"Alright, I'm only going to do this once, so pay attention. If you get lost, it won't be my fault" Itachi took Sasuke's schedual and looked at it.
"Oh, you're a lucky one. You have all of the Legendary Three as teachers this year", Itachi shook his head, wondering how someone could be so unfortunate as to have all three at once.
"The who?", Sasuke asked, wondering why Itachi looked as though someone had died.
"The Legendary Three-they have a reputation for causing loads and loads of trouble here when they were students. After they graduated, they all went on to become teachers. Within two years of them completing school, all three of them had jobs here. And they're just as insane now as they were in highschool". Itachi looked over the schedual again. "You have Kakashi as your homeroom teacher, as well as for math, Gai for phys ed, good luck there, Iruka for History, that's not too bad. Jiraiya's teaching you English-do your book reports on perverted romance novels and you'll be fine- Orochimaru for band-I didn't even know you signed up for band, health with Tsunade and science with Kurenai. Good luck"
Sasuke shrugged. He was sure he could make it through classes, Legendary Three or no. Itachi walked Sasuke around, showing him where each of his classes where, and then where his locker was. After Sasuke had gotten his locker situated, Itachi walked him back to his homeroom class. "Alright, good luck, Sasuke. Be careful-Orochimaru molests cute little boys!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes as Itachi left him infront of Kakashi's classroom. The jerk was laughing at him. Sasuke tried to comfort himself with the knowledge that Itachi had had all of these teachers before him, and he was still alive, but that didn't help much. He pushed open the door and walked inside.
"SASUKE-KUN!". Sasuke winced as about thirty girls called his name. "SASUKE-KUN! SIT HERE, SASUKE-KUN!".
Sasuke ignored the screaming and scanned the room for someone he knew. He spotted Gaara in the furthest back cornor of the classroom and quickly sat down next to him. Gaara nodded to him, but didn't say anything, so Sasuke didn't say anything to him, either. Instead he watched the door to see if anyone else he knew was present.
"Hey, I know! There's four seats over there", a loud, obnoxious voice stated. Sasuke's heart pounded. No. Please don't let it be...
He turned his head towards the voice and saw Naruto had entered the classroom, along with his friends Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji. Sasuke sighed and practically thumped his head on the desk. Great. Just great. This year was starting to look wonderful, and it hadn't even started yet. Five minutes later, the teacher walked in. Kakashi, if Sasuke's memory of what Itachi told him was correct. He looked like a weirdo.
Kakashi smiled lopsidedly at the class. "Welcome to the first day of the rest of your lives. I'm Kakashi, your homeroom teacher, and for some of you, your math teacher as well. Well, feel free to spend the rest of the class peridod getting to know one another. I have some reading to catch up on". And with that, he sat down at his desk and proceeded to read an orange book. The Icha Icha Paradise series, if Sasuke could see the title correctly. Itachi had gotten in trouble with their parents a few weeks back for borrowing some of the books from Kisame. Great, the home room teacher was a lazy pervert. This was getting better by the moment.
A/N: And I'm done with chapter 1! Yay! Now for...I don't even know how many more chapters. Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please leave a review. )
