Well hi there, I'm back and with a new story, I really should stop starting new stories and focus on my other ones lol, but oh well, I cant be helped :D
Summary: Sai, the new guy gets put on Team 7 and soon finds himself falling for the female member. But how can he have her when there's one person standing in his way, Sasuke? And what's this about a new head teacher and her trying to close the academy?
Chapter 1: A Boring Start
She quickened her pace and came to halt in front of a door, pushed a paper through the letterbox and hopped on her bike again
'I'm gonna be late again' she thought to herself
Pink hair. Green eyes. A slim, curvy body. And a killer attitude to add. This was Haruno Sakura. 16 years of age with a lot of potential. She was very bright, but didn't take a popular interest in her school life except for the ninja training.
Mainly because the rest was boring, she was acing all her classes, but loathed the lessons with a passion.
Being unsuccessful in finding a proper job before Christmas, her friend Ten-Ten, had recommended she try a paper round for a while. Sakura took her advice and here she was now, 7:40am riding round with a bagful of papers slung over her shoulder.
He watched her from his window every morning. He saw her ride up to his door, post his newspaper and leave again.
Drawing his eyes away from his window, he walked over to his mirror and checked his appearance.
Short black hair, black eyes, a long sleeved blue t-shirt with black jeans.
He was new in the neighbourhood and was starting his new school today, was he nervous? He couldn't be sure, but he knew deep down, if he saw that girl again, it'd be all worth it.
Grabbing his nearly empty bag, he made his way out the door and towards his new school
Her feet padded quickly past the school hall, she knew she was late for assembly so made her way to the cafeteria where she would wait until it was time for first lesson.
Unfortunately, a teacher caught sight of her pink hair and personally escorted her to the hall. Sakura sighed deeply before agreeing.
Upon entering the hall, all eyes were set upon her, which she shrugged off and took her seat. Glancing around, Sakura noticed a stranger to the school.
Adult, shirt, fat, female, snob looking. This was not going to go well, also considering the fact she was staring straight at Sakura.
Snorting, Sakura turned up her nose and closed her eyes
"it seems Miss. Haruno finds our lecture on school behaviour boring"
There was a "she's not the only one" that came from another student but people were oblivious
Sakura's eyes cracked open and stared at the stranger, anger already fuming
"Miss. Haruno, please stand"
Sakura groaned and stood, putting her hand son her hips
"please come to the front"
Nudging her chair out of her way, Sakura walked towards the fat lady, glaring at her all the way.
"well?"
"well what?" asked Sakura
"what do you have to say?"
There was a slight pause before she answered
"who are you?"
The hall was filled with discreet giggling (if that's possible lol)
"well if you were here on time, you would know who I was"
"life goes on"
Obviously annoyed by Sakura's attitude, the lady shuffled round her, almost analysing her
"I…am Dr. Sue Demont, your school's new head teacher"
"that's nice" yawned Sakura
Sakura could tell the new teacher was getting angry with her. Shuffling back to the front of the hall, Demont addressed the entire year
"this is an example of what I don't want from the rest of you. Anyone who is rude or disobedient shall be severely punished"
'what is this? Hell?' ran through Sakura's mind
"and you Miss. Haruno…"
Sakura raised an eyebrow to show she was half listening
"I shall let you off with a warning this time. don't let it happen again"
Sakura nodded glumly and praised Kami the bell went just seconds after.
Monday's weren't so bad for Sakura. On Monday's she had ninja training all day. Yes, this was partly a ninja academy, and Sakura was in her final year thank Kami.
As she made her way to the classroom, she remembered their teacher - Iruka, was finally going to put them in teams for the rest of the year
Just as she entered, she caught sight of a black haired boy, waved and walked over to him, where she sat down
"no 'morning' then?"
"morning Sasuke-kun" she growled
Sasuke smirked "nice performance earlier by the way, you really had her ticked. I don't like her either"
Sakura nodded solemnly "she's a bitch"
"HEY! HEY SAKURA-CHAN!" came a very loud voice
Sasuke and Sakura both turned to each other "Naruto…" they both grumbled as a hyper active blonde came running into the class
"what Naruto?" asked Sakura rubbing her forehead
"there's a new kid in our ninja class!"
Both Sasuke and Sakura looked up at him
"who?" they both asked
"no clue. Ino told me"
"well there's a surprise"
"what was that forehead?"
"nothing Ino-Pig"
The girl smirked at each other
"so Ino, who's this new guy?"
"not sure, I saw him as I came into school. In fact…he looks exactly like Sasuke-kun"
"is that so…" he groaned
Just as the rest of the class came in, Iruka also joined the room and took his place at the front
"good morning all. As you know, today you shall be evaluated on your skills and if you pass, put into teams"
"so Ino" Sakura whispered behind her "where's this new kid huh?"
Ino just huffed, but her eyes suddenly lit up "there he is!"
Sakura whipped her head round so fast she was sure she almost gave herself whiplash, but her jaw hit the desk instead
The new kid really did look a lot like Sasuke; and by the looks of said boy, he wasn't too happy about it. He talked with Iruka a bit before turning to face the class; and that's when he saw her. The girl with pink hair.
'he looks almost…..emotionless' thought Sakura
"class, this is Sai. He will be with us for the rest of the year. All of you please make him feel welcome. Why don't you take a seat next to Sakura" informed Iruka pointing to the pinkette
Sakura gulped 'now I have 2 hotties sitting next to me' referring to Sasuke as the other
As Sai sat down, Sakura noticed the amount of scrolls and brushed he had on him
"so, you like to paint huh?" she asked politely
'since when am I polite?' she asked herself
Sai merely nodded
"with the exception of Sai, you shall all now be evaluated"
Half the class groaned at Iruka's statement
"now line up alphabetically please"
"if I could, may I observe and take the test tomorrow?" spoke Sai
"if you feel confident enough, I don't see why not" smiled Iruka
Sai nodded and sat back to watch
"Shino Abrame"
A hooded figure stepped forward, holding out his hands in the process. There was silence as everyone waited. Until the various sounds of bugs could be seen and heard coming towards them
"PASS!"
"Choji Akamichi"
A rather short, chubby boy stepped forward with a bag of crisps in hand. Putting the packet in his pocket, Choji clasped his hands together and flicked his eyes open
"Multi-Size Technique!"
He stretched his arm forward, which also grew tenfold and picked Iruka up
"PASS!"
"Sakura Haruno"
Sai paid extra attention to what this girl was about to do, he didn't know why, he just felt like she was going to surprise him. And she sure did. Closing her jade eyes and putting her hands together, the wind suddenly picked up in the classroom, whipping her hair around vigorously. Suddenly the sound of metal and wood could be heard. It all went so fast to everyone else, but to Sakura, it all happened in slow motion.
What everyone saw was a flash of pink, then the next, the kanji for 'blossom' was imprinted on the board in shuriken.
But to Sakura, she drew out an amount of shuriken, quickly transforming them into small cherry blossoms, then fired them in her desired direction.
"PASS! Is there a name?"
"no name yet"
"very well, NEXT!"
The next ones to pass were Hinata & Neji Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzaka, Rock Lee, Shikamaru Nara and Ten-Ten.
"Sasuke Uchiha"
The raven haired teen stepped forward, not wasting any time to perform the perfect hand seals
"Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu"
Then he held one hand to his mouth as he shot out a fireball, which barley missed Iruka
He gulped "PASS!"
"Naruto Uzumaki"
The blonde stepped forward confidently, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Everyone knew what he was going to do so they all backed up. Sai catching on, did the same
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu"
Soon enough, there was about 100 Naruto's in the class, squashing everyone together tightly
"alright, alright you pass. Now release it!"
"hai!"
The Naruto's disappeared, leaving only the original in their place
"finally, Ino Yamanaka"
Said girl stepped forward. Her long blonde hair waving behind her, she abruptly stopped and faced Iruka
"Mind Switch Technique!"
Ino's body suddenly went limp, but Shikamaru caught her before she could fall. they all then turned towards Iruka who looked…odd? Suddenly he yelled
"I LOVE shopping and painting my nails, and you can all go home after I put you in teams"
Then he stood still as Ino woke up and smirked
"I guess you pass for such a sneaky technique"
They all returned to their desks smiling, they had all passed and now it was the moment they had all been waiting for.
"in Team 8: Hinata, Kiba and Shino"
"in Team 6: Ten-Ten, Neji and Lee"
"in Team 9: Ino, Choji and Shikamaru"
"and finally in Team 7: Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto"
"I guess you are all now dismissed. You are to train with your team in the free time that you have"
Everyone piled out of the classroom, probably all heading for the park, except for Sai, which Sakura noticed
"um…Sai?"
He looked up at her
'damn this stupid shyness' she thought "you wanna grab some lunch?"
"what an excellent idea Sakura! Why don't you be Sai's guide and show him around?" asked a very smug looking Iruka
Sakura nodded and soon after, Sai stood and followed
As they were walking through the streets of Konoha, Sai randomly asked
"how did you manage to do that thing with the shuriken so well?"
Sakura giggled " a hell of a lot of practice. It's why I was late actually"
"but you were doing a paper round?"
"I was up all night practicing so I overslept…. How did you know I had a paper round?"
"I saw you this morning"
"oh…you must be the new person on my round then…you lazy ass" she laughed
"why do you practice so hard?"
"I have to. I guess it doesn't help my dad wasn't a ninja"
"what about you-"
"dead. But she wasn't a ninja either"
"so it skipped a generation?"
Sakura nodded
"…I'm sorry"
Sakura looked surprised at him, but soon her eyes softened
"that's okay, c'mon let's go eat!"
"okay hag"
She stopped dead in her tracks
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!"
Seconds later, she was chasing him down the road threatening to kill him.
Meanwhile, the remainder of Team 7 were watching in amusement from the rooftops
"think we should help him? Sakura looks really peeved" asked Naruto
Sasuke put both hand behind his head and closed his eyes "naaaaaaaaaaaah"
