New Beginnings CH. 1

He was leaning against the wall, black eyes half lidded and a cigarette between his perfect lips. He gazed up at the sky, it was a beautiful day. Too bad he has to spend it at school where it's full of slackers, shit heads, and nerds. "What's up?" Itachi said as he took a drag to notice his friend walking towards him then slumping down onto the wall. Kisame looked as if he was contemplating something, when sharp beady eyes met Itachi's gaze he said, "school's going to suck this year"

"Yeah?" replied Itachi impassively.

"If it was anything like last year then I rather drop out. I haven't gotten laid that much and I can't stand being in another one of Anko's classes. I swear man, if she goes on another one of her tyrant bitch rants about World War II I'm going to smack a bitch."

Itachi-like his friend- had to agree with him there. Konoha High was full of dickheads, crazy bastards, and even crazier teachers, go figure. Though no one in the school fucked with his group. He only hung out with a select few, they were idiots as well but they get along. Ever since they became close knit, people called them the Akatsuki gang. He doesn't know where that name came from but he has a hunch that Deidara had something to do with it, 'that fucking idiot' he thought. He must confess that they do look the part, each one of his friends has tattoos and piercings all over the place. That's just their style, they don't like people outside of their group that much. He put the cigarette out and turned towards his friend, "I want to see Pein before classes start."

"You mean you want to skip class with Pein." Kisame let out a rough laugh, and then got up and walked beside his friend.

A petite pinkette with long hair strolled along the high school's garden. It was her first day at Konoha and she wasn't sure exactly where to go. Looking at her schedule and not paying attention to her surroundings she bumped into something hard. The person she supposedly bumped into- not the wall she corrected- gave an "ugh". She was on the floor, books and notepads and pens were all scattered around her. Said person she bumped into turned around. Saying he was handsome was an understatement, he had long blonde hair that was in a man bun, beautiful cerulean colored eyes, and a mouth made for making out. Sakura blushed at that thought, something else she noticed about him is that he had a nose piercing and a few in his ears. And not to mention the sleeved tattoos and one very big oneon his chest. 'I wonder what else he is hiding under that burgundy tee-shirt' she thought biting her lip inwardly

"Watch where the hell you're going," he said glaring at her.

'Wow rude much?' thought Sakura as she rolled her eyes. Now the pinkette wasn't known to be intimidated by stupid arrogant well dignified jerks. She does however have a temperament issue. Put two and two together and it doesn't mix well. Collecting herself so she doesn't come off as rude she said "I'm sorry, I didn't see you there." Then she gives a small smile as an apology. The guy didn't look in the least interested in what she had to say. As Sakura was picking up her things, while said jerk off wasn't helping her, he instead was staring at her- to intensely if you asked her. He noticed her pink hair, her emerald eyes, full pouty lips and long eyelashes. She was a babe that's for sure. Since he was standing above her, he could see down her shirt. With a full view she had a pretty decent rack and ample cleavage. He's guessing she's a size B, and hey that's alright with him just as long as he could grip that tight ass. "What's your name?" He asks.

"Sakura," she relentlessly responded.

The guy started laughing, "that's a stupid name."

"What's yours?" she cut in trying to ignore the impulse to punch him. "Deidara," He gives a sexy smirk. 'And her name is stupid?' she thought, rolling her eyes 'whatever'. She didn't like the fact that he was checking her out shamelessly. To the best of her ability she tried to ignore his staring and just gathered the rest of her things and went past him.

He grabbed her by the wrist and that made her turn around to look at those cerulean eyes again. "If you ever need a study partner, let me know. You'll hear that I have a great studying technique," Deidara winked at her. She caught the innuendo alright, to which she tried to hold the bile down as she felt it come up. "I'll keep that in mind," She said sarcastically. Forcing her wrist out of his hand, she quickly scurried off into the building with the blonde watching her hips sway as she left.

Sakura was walking down the long hallway to her classroom. She had to go through twists and turns to finally get where she needed to be. In Sakura's opinion this place is way to big. As she was approaching the class, there was a large group of people nearly blocking the doorway. 'probably people from the same class' she thought. Some of the boys in the group turned to glance at Sakura but didn't approach her. She entered her class and found an empty seat near the window. She loves views while in class, in case there was no interesting topic that the teachers like to babble on about sometimes. The bell rang and as expected the group that was out in the hallway came pouring into the same class. It took a few minutes for the teacher to show up. "Hello everyone, my name is Kakashi Hatake. I will be your homeroom teacher for your junior year." The teacher said smiling.

To Sakura he seems a bit on the lazy side. "Why are you late Kakashi? Were you that into your porn magazine that you forgot about your students?!" A boy with blonde spiky hair laughed out loud. The class followed suit in the laughter, except for Sakura who could have sworn her mouth fell agape at the unfiltered comment. 'what in the world is up with him?' her mind was going over a mile a minute thinking there is no way that kid could get away with saying something that inappropriate. Low and behold he did, Mr. Hatake just fake coughed into his fist and carried on like nothing happened. 'So, this is a common occurrence in this place, great' she inwardly face-planted. So far everyone seemed lazy and perverted, not that it isn't a regular occurrence in high school but in front of the teacher and them not caring, that's a new one for Sakura.

Mr. Hatake went over locker assignments and the rules and regulations of this school, explaining that homeroom is extra time to get homework done as well as study hall - which is an option for us after the final bell. Before she knew it, the bell rang and everyone is headed out the door. Sakura was on her way out too until she heard someone clear their throat. "You must be Ms. Haruno, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce you to the class." Mr. Hatake had that same smile on his face.

"That's alright, no worries." Sakura smiled politely

The only response was a "hm" and then she made the decision that was a sign she was free to go. She got to her assigned locker so she can put all of her belongings in, there was a group of girls approaching and all of them were smiling and giggling over some gossip or something she assumed was along those lines. One of them eventually turned towards Sakura, after a few seconds of staring she said, "are you the new girl?"

"Yeah, my name is Sakura," she gave a small smile.

"Well it's nice to meet you Sakura, my name is Ino." She gave a kind smile. She was beautiful to say the least, long light blonde hair, big beautiful translucent blue eyes, though Sakura could tell that they held a gray undertone to them. She had a nice style too; her navy-blue halter dress was knee length with pointed black flats to match and she threw some nice matching jewelry on as well. "This is Hinata and TenTen." Ino said introducing the two.

"Nice to meet you Sakura" TenTen said with a big smile.

"Mhm, very nice to meet you." Hinata followed suit.

These girls seemed very nice and down to earth, not to mention they all looked very well-dressed Sakura thought to herself. "So, Sakura what classes do you have? I noticed you in homeroom so I was just curious." Ino asked. Sakura looked at her schedule then handed it off to Ino.

"I'm mostly in honor or AP classes, but I have no idea where I'm going." Sakura said.

"Yeah this school is pretty big, but lucky for you, you have three of the best tour guides around." Ino said with a pretty smirk.

"We'd love to show you around Sakura." TenTen said as her and Hinata smiled at her as well.

"That'd be great, thanks." Sakura returned their smiles with her own. Sakura was looking on the bright side of things, she found nice acquaintances, and the school didn't seem so bad, big and intimidating but not bad. Sakura was a positive on-looker anyway so she tried to find the best in any situation. Ino grabbed Sakura by her arm and began walking with her through the crowded hall to the next class, which was AP Literature.

Deidara was walking through the school's garden path, towards one of the many gazebos that the lot had. He was lighting his cigarette when he heard someone from behind calling to him, "What's up man?" a guy named Sasori said. Sasori was Deidara's best mate, they both moved from out of town to Konoha when they were in middle school, so they grew close and have one of the best friendships their group has. Their group was named Akatsuki-which Deidara made the name up and spread it around- and it made them pretty infamous to the town. People thought they were a blood lusting psychotic group that will come after anyone who messes with them. In all fairness that rumor held some truth, he knows a few people in his group that can match that description perfectly to the T.

"Nothin' much, skipping a few classes nothing new." Deidara laughed.

"Hm" Sasori replied.

"Do you know where Pein is? I have haven't seen him." Deidara asked.

"I haven't seen him either, I know Itachi was looking for him too. Can you hand me a cigarette?"

While Deidara was handing Sasori a cigarette, two of their other friends were showing up. Hidan and Kakuzu were known as the scarier guys of the group, but to them they were good company and actually pretty funny once you get to know them. "Do you guys know where the fuck Pein is at?" Hidan asked with a scowl. He didn't have best choice of words while expressing himself, but he got his point across just the same.

"I couldn't find him, I even tried calling his cell." Deidara said.

"That fucker always pulls this shit." Hidan grumbled.

"Hey Kakuzu." Sasori acknowledged his other friend.

Kakuzu was lighting a cigarette then looked up and nodded his head towards Sasori. He wasn't much of a talker but when he wants to be he can be sarcastic and downright entertaining. Most of the time though he berates Hidan, but that's how their friendship works. They all ended up sitting around the gazebo, just talking and smoking.

"This school year is going to be bullshit, I'm so done with this fucking shithole." Hidan said.

"You always complain dipshit, it gets annoying." Kakuzu shot back.

"Shut the fuck up, you know I'm right. The same crazy ass teachers, same old fucking chicks that look the same. I can't even fuck one without saying another bitch's name." Hidan pouted.

"Speaking of chicks, I bumped into someone new today." Deidara said.

"A new girl?" Sasori questioned.

"Yeah, and what a babe, she has pink hair and her ass is so nice." Deidara smirked.

"Who the fuck has pink hair?" Hidan said.

Deidara laughed, "I don't know but I'm telling you I wouldn't mind her in the bedroom."

"Who wouldn't you want in your bed?" Sasori chimed in.

Deidara just ignored him, as soon as he was about to continue the subject the bell for second period rang. "Ah fuck, crazy bitch's class." Hidan said. They all knew Anko would go drill sergeant major on their asses if they didn't show up for her class. Out of all the classes they wish they could skip hers was one of them.

"Come on Hidan." Kakuzu said to the stubborn ass he called his friend.

All of them started going towards the west side entrance of the school. This would be the second year that they all had with Anko, the only good thing about it was their whole group was in the class. So, they get to catch up and talk about what has been going on. Most of them were either on vacation over the summer or checking out colleges.

When they entered the class, they spotted Pein, Itachi, and Kisame sitting next to one another. "Dude what the fuck? I was looking everywhere for you!" Hidan said annoyed. Pein looked up at Hidan giving his all to famous impassive stare.

"Did you try the classroom?" Pein replied dryly.

Hidan was furious to say the least, he wanted to blow his fuse with his smart ass of a 'leader' that they referred to him as. But Hidan wasn't as strong as Pein. He knew damn well Pein is one of the only people in this entire school who could put him in his place and shut him up. So, he shan't dare to press the boundaries, even if all his insides and brain were coiling with disgust and hate. Hidan took his seat next to Kakuzu and didn't speak another word.

Itachi looks toward Pein and continued with the conversation, after being rudely interrupted. "When is the event happening?" Itachi said.

"The thirty-first of October, on Halloween." Pein replied.

"What event?" Deidara asked.

"My parents are going out of town, I'm thinking of throwing a party." Pein said.

"I'm down, hot chicks, pool, sex, and weed. Don't even have to ask." Deidara laughed.

Sasori just rolled his eyes, "who even said you were invited?"

Still slapped across his face with a wide smirk Deidara said, "everyone knows it's not a party without me."

The guys were all talking about the upcoming party while the bell was ringing for class to start and all the students were piling into the classroom. Soon Akno came into the room and was screeching like a banshee- in Hidan's, Deidara's, and Kisame's opinion- "Listen up class, I'm telling you right now I don't give a care in the world for excuses on homework, quizzes or tests!" Anko paused, "there should be no excuse for failing this class. We are not here to fail. We are here to SUCCEED!"

Deidara was not paying attention to the on-going speech of the banshee, he decided-instead- to test his paper airplane. Which Sasori stared him down giving him the hint, it wasn't in the best of interest for everyone if you do that, look. Deidara on the other hand just completely ignores him, like usual.

The airplane went flying around the room and caught the attention of everyone (including Anko). Anko was about to mouth off to the perpetrator until she was handed the paper airplane by one of the students. Said student was hated by the Akatsuki group, simply because he never wiped that smug smirk off his face whenever he talks or interacts with any other human being. His name was Kabuto and he was just a straight up creep. No one really likes him. He's part of another group that is infamous around Konoha.

"There you go Anko sensei" Kabuto gave that smug smirk.

Anko cleared her throat "Mhm, thank you Kabuto. Please go back to your seat."

"My pleasure" Kabuto replies and heads back to his seat next to another silver haired guy who was in the same group. Even though the Akatsuki didn't get along with the sound group necessarily, they don't mind Kimimaro. Mainly because he's the quiet type and doesn't want to get into any conflicts with anyone. He's more their style with tattoos and piercings plastered all over him. Deidara had gotten to talk with Kimimaro and enjoyed the conversation.

"Back to what I was saying, NO EXCUSES! Is this understood." Anko ended dramatically-everyone thought.

With a sigh everyone gave a "Yes Ma'am." Then the lesson continued. To a certain blonde's disappointment.
