Rated T.[AU] Sakura isn't one to be easily scared especially not by a so-called 'god' who was adored by all the idiot female student body and was Mr. Popular-Dark-Sexy-Mysterious-guy. So she didn't want anything to do with him, but life doesn't always give you what you want, huh? SasuSak. InoShikaTem. NaruHina. NejiTen. (High School Fic.)
She groaned in frustration, "No! I am not going to that snobby, stupid, 'elite' rich kid school!" the pinkette yelled at her mom. There was no way she would leave her old school just to go to some snobby school where she knew all the student body would be spoiled and pompous, especially not if it was her dad's wish.
Mebuki ran her fingers through her hear, "Sakura, your dad threatened to take your custody away from me if I didn't enroll you in that academy." She said as she sat down on Sakura's bed, next to her daughter.
"Mom, I don't care what that old man says. He can go to hell for all I care! He has no control over me, since he was never there for me. Thinks he can ditch me for 15 bloody years and then come back to tell you to enroll me in a stupid boarding school? I don't think so." She retorted as she stood up from her own bed to pace around like a ranting mad-man. Her father did nothing but ruin her life, he always barged into her life without thinking about what she wanted. She hated him. She had tried to reach out to her dad when she was younger, but he always pushed her away. On one of the many father's day when she was around twelve, she finally gave up on her dad when she tried to contact him to at least wish him a happy father's day but he had ignored her endless amount of calls just like every other year.
"Sakura, if I don't get you in this academy, then he'll take you away from me, " Mebuki's eyes started glossing, "He said he'll take me to court and he'll take you away easily because of my job."
Sakura gritted her teeth, this old man was seriously getting on her nerves, "He can't, your job pays a whole lot of money," she stopped pacing around and then continued,"... and its a decent job, mom."
Mebuki sighed and put her hands on her face, "He told me that he would say that my music tours take my time away from taking care of you and that I am a bad influence on you."
"But that's not true! I'm well attended by your butler even though I see you once every two days." Sakura stated nonchalantly. She knew her mom would do anything for her and loved her very dearly, but Sakura wasn't about to let her know that, she'd rather let her mom think she was doing horrible at parenting.
Mebuki looked up from her hands looking at her daughter in disbelief, "Sakura you just proved your dad right."
"Mom, please I'll do anything, just don't take me to that school pleeease." She begged.
"Sakura it's decided already, so pack a bag or two. Tomorrow I will enroll you and you'll stay there because classes will start soon." Mebuki said as she stood up and wiped her eyes.
Sakura groaned, "But mooooom!" she whined.
"No but's, Sakura. I agree with your father that your grades have been slipping and I haven't been too pushy about them." Mebuki said, "Maybe this academy will discipline you up." She exited Sakura's room without letting Sakura respond.
Sakura grunted, "I freaken hate that guy."
"It's summer vacation! Why would I want to go to Oto?" Sasuke asked as if his parents had lost their mind.
Fugaku frowned, "Its not whether you want to go or not, Sasuke, you're going with us and that's final."
"But I already had plans, father, this is completely unfair of you," the Uchiha complained. He hated being manipulated by his father, but what he hated most was that he couldn't do anything about it.
"Honey, listen to your dad," Mikoto reasoned, while she hugged him, in an attempt to coax him into agreeing.
Sasuke stood there stubbornly, shrugging off his mom's attempt of an embrace in the process, "I have no interest in going to Oto just so I can sit around in some boring meeting with a bunch of old men."
"They are politicians, son." Fugaku corrected.
"Whatever, I don't care and I'm not going to Oto. I already have plans with a couple of my classmates." He said as he pulled away from his mom to continue his way to the auditorium with his best friend. " Right Naruto?"
Naruto momentarily glared at Sasuke for putting him on the spot with his "scary" father.
"Y-Yeah! And with all due respect Mr. Secretary of State, I think Sasuke should stay here in Konoha." the blonde responded trying to be respectful towards Fugaku.
Fugaku ignored Naruto's suggestion and turned to his son, "Sasuke, I expect you to pack for Oto after the orientation ceremony." With that, Mikoto and Fugaku entered the auditorium where the event was being held at.
"Like hell I'm going to Oto." the Uchiha muttered and followed his parents in with a confused Naruto behind him.
"Is my daddy here yet?" a platinum blonde asked her friend, Temari while looking around the audience from behind the curtains.
Temari looked at Ino with sympathy, her dad always missed important events like this and it broke Ino even though she wouldn't admit it, "Ino, I don't think he's coming." Temari reasoned with her.
Ino turned to Temari and shook her head, "He will, I know he will. He promised." Ino smiled positively, trying to believe her own words. She, herself couldn't even believe them.
Temari placed her hand on Ino's shoulder and gave her a consoling pat, "I'm sorry Ino, its 2 minutes 'til the start of the orientation and he's still not here."
Ino tried to keep her smile but it turned into a worried frown. "He promised. And if he doesn't I swear I'll-"
"Good Morning, ladies and gentlemen, most of you already know me but I'll present myself to those who dont. I'm Tsunade the principal of Elite Academy of Konoha." she paused and smiled, "I'm glad to see some familiar faces and new ones as well. Welcome back. I'm going to hand the microphone to Jiraya, who will be going over the rules with you."
Once the students heard Jiraya's name, they started cheering and whooping for their well-liked vice principal.
The gray haired man smiled at his students, "Hello, students! Welcome back. For those newbies, I'm Vice-Principal Jiraya and I'm just going to briefly go over some rules."
"Hey! We don't wanna listen to your sex-ed lesson, pervy sage!" A loud blonde yelled.
"Dobe sit down, you're causing a scene." a smooth voice said sounding annoyed.
Jiraya's eyes narrowed on his godson "Naruto, you should listen to your friend," He whispered nervously to Naruto.
"Dobe," the Uchiha repeated.
"But teme, he's gonna start that 'rules' lesso-" He stopped when Sasuke glared at him. "Fine whatever." He sat back in his seat while mumbling nonsense under his breath.
Jiraya cleared his throat and continued as if nothing had happened, "Moving on, I'd like to remind you all that boys and girls cannot enter the dorms of the opposite sex. And I do not want to walk in on some of you, so just don't do it..."
Soon all the voices faded to Ino. She smirked as a plan formed in her mind, If my dearest daddy doesn't have time for a simple orientation, then he'll surely have time to talk to the principal about my behavior.
She spotted Temari by the DJ and called her over. "Tem, here make sure to change the cd when I give you the signal." Ino said and gave her the cd.
Temari gave Ino a disappointed expression, "Ino, don't do this, you're going to look bad in front of the new guys." she tried to convince her friend.
Ino smiled reassuringly while waving Temari off, "Tem, I don't care, as long as I get my daddy's attention, I don't mind." She said.
Temari felt bad for her friend. Ino was just as broken as her family and it pained Temari to see her like that, and that break up with Kiba was just like putting salt on an open wound.
"And now, lets welcome the dance team who will be presenting their new choreography created by Ino Yamanaka!" Jiraya announced.
The dance team got on stage and got into their position. "Girls, change of plans."
Karin put her hands on her hips, "What's that suppose to mean?" The red-head asked.
Ino gave them a mischevious lopsided grin, "The music is gonna change, and we're gonna dance this summer's greatest hit. You guys know the choreo right?"
"We're gonna look like sluts!" Karin complained.
"If you already look like one, why not act like one too?" Ino smirked. All the girls laughed and got into position.
"Ino, you're such a bitch sometimes," Karin told her friend.
Ino's smirk grew, "I know." She then walked to the stage.
The classical music started and Ino took the lead. She moved elegantly around stage while the rest of the dance team followed her lead. Most adults gave her a pleased look. Ino gave Temari the signal and the music suddenly stopped. The girls knew what this meant: the forbidden choreography was going to start. The song Blurred Lines blasted through the speakers. Everybody in the room noticed the change, many adults frowned while most of the teens smirked.
Ino started dancing in a really 'inappropriate' manner. She smirked as she swayed her hips slowly. She started unbuttoning he school uniform shirt and her crimson tie. The girls stopped, and looked at Ino with a horrifide expression -stripping wasn't part of the choreography. Ino took off her white button up shirt. She was wearing a strappless, spandex that only covered half of her upper body, which meant that her toned stomach was fully exposed.
Most of the boys wolf whistled, Sasuke smirked, Naruto grinned and the rest? they were drooling.
The music was abruptly stopped by an angry looking principal, "Ms. Yamanaka! Go to your dorm immediately!" Tsunade's stern voice was heard throughout the room.
"Sorry for the inconvinience, I can assure you that these type of profanities never happen in this preparatory." Tsunade explained.
Sasuke noticed his dad and mom were both distraced with the unexpected event, "Dobe, lets go." Sasuke whisperered. He planned to take advantage of this to escape from the auditorium.
Naruto eyes widened, "What? We can't just leave! you're dad will have your head!" He whispered/yelled.
Sasuke rolled his eyes, "I don't care, I have a plan."
"What kind of plan?"
"Just a plan." He smirked.
"Nara Shikamaru, very impressive test scores, but you're semester grades are low." mumbled Jiraya as he scrolled down Shikamaru's files.
"Tche, the teachers are troublesome, plus they assign too much work," he answered lazily.
"A Lazy genuis, huh?" Jiraya chuckled.
Shikamaru rubbed his temples, this was taking up too much of his time. He had only one reason to be here and that was to make her pay, for his miserable childhood.
"Well, You're academic ability meets the academy's standards... aaaand your parents have already payed for your tuition, so..." he trailed off, looking at his computer, he looked thoughtful, "...you're roommates will be Sai and Akimichi Chouji." He finished off while handing him a fresh-printed copy of the school's schedule and is dorm information.
Soon, Ino, he thought as a flashback of his childhood flashed in his mind. Soon.
Naruto slouched on his couch while pausing the game, "Teme, just go to Oto."
"Why?" he asked, curious with what Naruto's explanation would be, "Unpause it."
Naruto ignored his best friend's command and turned to him, "Why not? I mean its better than-"
Sasuke dropped the controller on his legs, "It's not better than staying in Konoha, idiot."
"I wasn't gonna say its better than Konoha! I was gonna say it's better than the Vacation Program that they have at school, I mean, thank Kami my parents are taking me home for summer."
Sasuke threw a scowl at Naruto, "Dobe, you're parents won't even spend time with you at home, so what's the point?" Sasuke asked while throwing his head back in exasperation.
Naruto gasped dramatically, "Hey! That's not true! Even though my dad's busy most of the time, my mom always hangs out with me, when she can." He unpaused the game.
"Whatever," Sasuke shrugged, "We'll stay here at your place and my dad will have to go to Oto without me."
"Sasuke, I don't think your dad will just see that you left, shrug it off and leave. Remember what happened last time he thought you were kidnapped?"
The memory of his dad taking him out of the pub and scolding him in front of his friends made him shiver.
Sasuke snorted at Naruto's worried voice, "Relax, dobe. He won't know I'm at your place."
"Ino, are you okay?" Temari asked. They were back in their dorm which consisted of 3 beds, one bathroom, three closets and a spiral staircase that led to the second half-floor of their 'dorm'.
Ino visibly rolled her eyes at Temari with a fake smile, "Yes of course. Everything is great," Ino lied, not even turning to look at Temari. She was sitting on the arm chair while chatting with someone online.
Temari sighed and stood up from the bed. She shut Ino's laptop close.
"Ino, you can't lie to me, I'm your best friend, and I know that you're hurting inside because you're dad didn't come."
Ino rolled her eyes again and sighed, "Temi, puh-lease, me hurting because my dad didn't show? I'm so O-V-E-R over that. Plus, he'll be here soon. I don't think Tsunade will wait 'til tomorrow to give him a call."
"Ino just-"
The door suddenly opened to reveal an upset looking Inoichi Yamanaka.
"Daddy!" Ino squealed and jumped up to hug him.
She sensed her dad's bad mood when he didn't hug her back.
Ino cocked her head to the side in mock confusion, "What's wrong, daddy?" she asked innocently.
He turned to Temari, "Can you give us a moment, Temari?" he requested.
"Sure."
Once she had left the room, Inoichi turned to Ino, "Ino, I cannot believe you did such a thing. I am very disappointed in you."
Ino giggled and waved it off, "Daddy, it was just something careless-"
"Oh it was something alright, care to explain?"
Ino sighed in annoyance, "I will! On the way to the Bahamas of course," She grabbed her sunglasses and started getting her suitcase and purse.
He put a hand over her suitcase, signaling her to stop, "There will be no trip to the Bahamas."
Ino's eyes widened, "No, you're kidding right?" He stood quiet. Ino felt rejected again. "Daddy, we've been planning this for months now and it's the only time of the year that I really get to spend time with you! You can't do this to me!" I knew it, He probably has 'important business' to attend so he's using my little slip to cancel our trip. Nice one dad, she thought.
"You're wrong, I can do this to you and it hurts me to do this but you have to understand that your actions have consequences."
Ino's eyes started getting watery, "Might as well wrap me in gift wrapping paper and give me away!"
He tried to hug her, "Ino-"
She dodged his attempt to hug her, "You know the only reason I did this was because you didn't come to the orientation! You promised me!"
"There was a last minute meeting and-"
"Whatever, it's always a stupid meeting! From this day foward, you are not my daddy and I am not your daughter!" Ino pouted.
"You know I'm not changing my mind right?"
"But Daddy!" she whined.
He shrugged as if saying it wasn't his problem, "I guess you'll have to go to the vacation program with the school."
She stomped her feet repettively, "No! That's for losers!"
"Guess you're now a loser." and with that, he left.
Temari had gone to buy a soda from the vending machine. She had bought it and was returning to her dorm to see if Ino and her dad had finished talking when she heard a muttered curse.
"Damn it, where the hell is room 12?"
Temari wanted to laugh but realized that if it were her and she was a newbie she would also appreciate the help, so she walked towards the guy who had his back towards her.
"Hey, do you need help finding your way?" She asked with a half smile.
He turned to her and she felt her heart starting to speed up. He was exactly her type. Rebellious looking, and a rocker type of guy. She never went for pretty boys like Sasuke or Naruto, even though Sasuke did look like a bad boy, he was too arrogant and too hard to please.
"Yeah, actually." He didn't smile but didn't glare either, it was like a friendly stare.
Temari smiled, " So room 12, huh?" She asked, "With Sai and Chouji. They're pretty chill guys." She said as she led him to his dorm.
"You navigate through these halls often? or..?"He asked.
Temari's eyes widened, he was implying if she knew those halls because she fooled around with guys, "Oh shit, I made it sound like that. Uh no, I know my way because of my brothers."
Shikamaru smirked, she's cute, he thought, "You don't have to explain yourself to me."
Temari stopped to look at him, and also because they were already in front of his dorm, "I know," She said as she put her hands in the back of her jeans and swayed on her toes, "But I did it so you wouldn't start rumors about me." She joked with a playful smile, "So don't feel so special," she said as she passed him.
"Mom, seriously, I do not want to come to this school." Sakura whined. She looked through the window, taking in the scene before her. It was definitely something she didn't expect. She expected it to look more like prison with tons of security rather than a luxurious hotel.
"Sakura, please, try your best in the interview," Mebuki sighed and got off the limo.
Sakura shook her head out of the awed state it was because of the school and abruptly turned to face her mom, "Mom! We aren't done talking!" Sakura complained. She followed her mom out of the limo and caught up to her.
"Seriously Sakura, couldn't you have chosen another day to dress like that?" Sakura was wearing a crop top that exposed a little bit of her stomach, a jean vest with studs and black high waisted skinny jeans. She wore some burgundy Dr. Martens.
Sakura scoffed, "Me? Mom have you looked at yourself?" In her eyes, her mom looked like a woman in search of a date, with her V-neck blouse tucked into her pencil skirt and a blazer over her.
Mebuki threw Sakura a glare, "Sakura," Mebuki warned.
"Geez, grandma. It was a joke." Sakura retorted as they neared the entrance of the school.
"You have to start to treat me like an adult, I'm not your friend." Mebuki scolded.
Sakura snorted, "Great we're on the same page 'cause I've never thought of you as a friend of mine."
Mebuki ran a hand through her hair, "You know what I mean."
"Actually mom, no I don't understand." Sakura mockingly responded, "Please, illuminate me with your knowledge."
"I want respect because I am your mom and your elder, therefore you can't treat me like just another person your age."
"But mother, I do respect you." Sakura said in a sarcastic tone and then laughed.
"Sakura just try and make some friends okay?" Mebuki carressed Sakura's cheek.
"Mom!" Sakura pulled away, trying to dodge her mom's caresses. "Don't do that, people are watching!" Sakura whined.
"Oh honey, its just that I don't want to separate myself from you!" Mebuki pulled her into an embrace. She didn't care if Sakura had a bad attitude, she still loved her because she was the only thing she could truly call hers.
"Moooom," she trying to push her mom away.
"Okay, okay." Mebuki let go.
Sakura rolled her eyes and kept walking, "Mom, stop crying, its not a big deal."
"Oh Sakura, when did you grow up?" Mebuki asked as she caught up to her daughter.
Sakura sighed, her mother would never stop crying if she didn't say something about her appearance being bad or if she didn't give her mom a compliment, "Mom, if you don't stop crying, your make up will smudge."
"Right, right." Mebuki dried her cheeks.
