Lovals
-A Naruto fanfic
(Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine. Unfortunately.)
A/N: AU. A little OOC. This is written for Damsel in Shining Armor, a big NarutoxSakura shipper. Mentions of some villains and Sasuke. My first fic on NarutoxSakura. Hope to get good responses.
Lovals (lu-vals, n)- a combination of "lovers" and "rivals"; Used to describe two persons who from being rivals became lovers.
PROLOGUE
"Hurry! She's coming!"
"Where? My gosh, you're right! Let's go!"
"Straighten up people! Shut up your awful singing for god's sake! Quiet all of you!"
In a flash, all students were lined up perfectly along the corridor with their heads held high. Their once bright, laughing eyes now flickered with absolute seriousness and fear.
One brave soul looked around, breaking the perfect formation while gawking at his classmates with awe.
"Uh, excuse me."
His neighbor glanced at him, apparently annoyed but surprised at the same time. His jet black hair is tied up and his expression is that of a 'let's-get-this-over-with-this-is-troublesome' look. Yet, despite his seemingly lazy attitude, he looks smart and serious. He tried to ignore him, but he kept prodding him.
He sighed. "What is it?"
"Why are we doing this? I mean…"
His neighbor looked at him incredulously. "Oh, you're new?" He nodded.
He sighed. "This is troublesome. But since you just transferred, I'll tell you." He took a deep breath. "We're being troubled to do this troublesome thing every beginning of the troublesome and boring semester to acknowledge the Student Council of the Academy, especially the President. Well, we are actually forced to do this so that troublesome students will fear and acknowledge them."
He stopped talking and looked back at the newbie and was surprised to find him smiling.
"Oh really. So even in this Academy, huh." He thought slyly.
"By the way, my name's Shikamaru. Nara Shikamaru. Captain of the Shogi Club."
The newbie smiled. "The name's Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Shikamaru."
(A/N: This is done. Hope to see and read reviews. I hope I did a good job. The President of the Student Council as well as its members will be introduced in the first chapter. Enjoy!)
