A/N: Like I said in my profile, I couldn't stop thinking about this plot. Everything I see gives me inspiration for it. My head is going wild with ideas. Watching several high school romance movies didn't really help either…
So I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to work on this and P&P and not forget about one… Wish me luck!
Summary: AU She was the quiet, sweet, goodie-two-shoes daughter of the Headmaster. He was a rebel and rule breaker- kicked out of his academy for numerous offences. It wasn't long before he stirred up trouble; in hopes of trying to "lead him on a better path"- or punishment in his eyes- the two are forced to spend all of their free time together. The one thing neither of them expected to get out of the situation was love.

Warning: Please take notice that this is an M rated story for language, sexual content, fighting, and teen partying.
This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of them, and they understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life.

Otogakure
A sleek, black Ferrari 360 Spider zoomed past trees and bushes, narrowly missing each piece of nature. It sloppily ziz-zagged back and forth down the old, dirt path.
As the speedometer raced closer and closer to 100, a beer can was chucked and hit a tree. The thrower of said can felt no remorse for dousing the leaves with beer, instead she giggled wildly.
"Whooo!" an eighteen year old girl shouted. She threw her hands up in the air, letting the wind race past them. Because the top of the convertible was rolled down, her dark hair was blowing nearly horizontally behind her.
She dug around the floor of her passenger seat, pulling out a half-empty bottle of vodka. She cheered again, unscrewing the top and tossing it to her left.
"Watch it, Karin," the driver snapped, his onyx eyes glancing at her for a mere two seconds.
The girl, Karin, merely shrugged, bringing the bottle to her lips. "Mmm raspberry! My favorite! You wanna taste, Sasuke-kun?"
The raven haired driver pushed the bottle away. Karin pouted in confusion, but then her glasses-clad eyes followed as Sasuke's left hand reached for something behind him. When his hand emerged, a bottle of tequila was in it. She giggled again, downing more of her own clear beverage.
"Sasuke-kun, where'd the others go?" Karin shouted over the noise of the wind and the roaring engine. She glanced behind her into the darkness, but saw only the outline of trees in the moonlight.
Sasuke shrugged. "They were behind us a minute ago. Maybe they ran into a tree." Karin howled with laughter, spilling vodka all over the seat.
"Damnit, Karin! I just got rid of the beer stains- now I have mother fuckin' vodka all over." Karin bit her lip, watching as Sasuke's brows furrowed. Then she couldn't keep in her giggle, seeing Sasuke start to smirk as well. "Hn. Oh well."
The Uchiha leaned over towards her, smashing their lips together. Their tongues swirled around each other messily. Each could taste the other's alcoholic beverage of choice. Karin moaned approvingly. She rested her hand on Sasuke's uppermost thigh, rubbing her thumb closer and closer to his crotch.
Sasuke groaned, but pulled away. The last thing he wanted to do was get his baby all dinged up.
And by 'baby', he meant the car.
He scowled as Karin pouted. "If I crash this Spider you're in fuckin' trouble." Karin sighed and nodded. She took another gulp of vodka, then started cheering again as Sasuke sped up.
Eventually, they ended up at a dead end. Sasuke parked the car and turned to Karin, his dark orbs filled with lust. She giggled, pulling off her glasses and setting them on the dashboard before moving over to straddle Sasuke. Karin made sure to sit directly on his manhood.
Sasuke groaned again, pulling Karin's mouth down to his. He unzipped her gray jacket and pushed it off, leaving her in a black bra, black shorts, and black thigh high boots. Karin grinded her heated core against Sasuke, and the two moaned at the friction. She hurriedly tugged off Sasuke's black jacket and shirt, running her hands up and down his abs.
As Sasuke reached to undo Karin's shorts, his cell phone rang. The two groaned, but then saw the name on the ID screen.
"What the hell happened to you?" Sasuke said in means of an answer. Karin leaned back so she was resting on the steering wheel, crossing her arms as she watched Sasuke.
"Man, I fuckin' crashed into a fuckin' tree!" the voice on the other end said. Karin arched a brow when she heard that. Then she rolled her eyes as the voice continued. She wanted Sasuke's attention. She pulled off her bra and began fondling her breasts, moaning loudly. Sasuke's eyes never left Karin's hands as she squeezed and rubbed her body.
"Somebody heard and called the fucking police. Luckily the others caught up to me and we could clear out the car and ditch. They missed us, but they saw your little trail of beer cans. I think they're headed your way."
"What?" Sasuke snapped loudly. "Son of a bitch."
Karin slid into the passenger seat, pulling her clothes back on.
"Is Karin with you?"
"Yeah."
"Well you better get your asses out of there. And fast."
"I know, I know. Fuck, I'm so wasted. I'm gonna blow the limit on a breathalyzer…"
The voice laughed. "Tell me about it. Gonna be one hell of a hangover tomorrow. Guess I'll be missing school again."
Sirens could be heard now.
"Shit. That's them. Damnit, Kabuto, you couldn't have called sooner?"
"Hey, give me a break. We just got away; I called the first chance I got."
"'Kay well I'll call you later once we've ditched them."
"Later."
Sasuke clapped his phone shut, then cursed loudly when he saw blue and red lights. He couldn't go the way he came, so he decided to risk it and raced forward into the brush.
Karin screamed as they drove into the woods, twigs and branches hitting the car. Sasuke veered out of the way of a large tree, narrowly missing another. He swore loudly, glancing behind his shoulder. Two police cars could now be seen in the distance.
The car emerged from the forest, now in the middle of a large field. Neither Sasuke nor Karin recognized it, but hoped that there was a road nearby.
The police cars plowed out of the trees, following relentlessly. They were starting to catch up. Sasuke groaned and increased his speed as well.
"Floor it!" Karin snapped, and Sasuke obeyed her command. His foot pressed the gas pedal all the way down, the engine revving even louder now. He glanced behind him for just a second or two, when suddenly Karin screamed at the top of her lungs.
Sasuke had just enough time to turn around and see that his car was headed directly at a large oak tree at the edge of the woods on the other side of the field. He tried to swivel out of the way, but they were moving too fast. They slammed headfirst into the tree.
Sasuke and Karin shot forward- neither of them wearing seatbelts. Luckily Sasuke's airbag deployed before he could move much further, but Karin shot through the windshield. Sasuke's head banged hard on the dashboard, he could feel something warm trickling down his face.
The sirens stopped as three officers made their way over to the car. Sasuke shifted his head slowly to glance out the window before everything went dark.
A week later, Sasuke headed out his front door, sitting in the passenger seat of a dark red sports car. He sighed as he slammed the door shut, stuffing his black backpack to the ground where his feet were.
"Good morning to you too."
"Hn. What's so good about it," Sasuke mumbled.
Kabuto laughed. "And you're welcome for driving you. I don't even go to high school and I'm driving you. Jeez you sure have good friends."
"Hn."
"So, it's your first day back- think they'll expel you?"
"No idea," Sasuke said as he looked out the window, watching the houses pass by him as they drove out of his neighborhood. "Doubtful. I mean, where else would I go?"
"Well, you're eighteen. You technically don't have to."
"Yeah, but if I don't graduate, I lose any and all of my money. Then I'm broke and my parents will kick me out. Not exactly the way I planned my senior year to be."
"Hm. Good point. Well I guess you'll just have to see what your headmaster says. I bet you'll have to do some community service bullshit or something," Kabuto said with a smirk as he pulled up to a stoplight. Sasuke smirked as well, and the two were silent for about five minutes.
"So… I'm going to see Karin in the hospital today. Apparently she woke up."
"Hn."
"Well…"
"Well what?" Sasuke snapped.
"Are you going to?"
"Visit her? No."
"Why not? I thought-"
"She's not my girlfriend or anything. I don't really even like her," Sasuke said. He ran a frustrated hand through his hair.
"Then why do you fool around with her?" Sasuke turned to Kabuto and arched his brow, giving a 'why do you think?' look. Kabuto smiled. "Right. She's hot."
He pulled up to the front steps of Oto Academy. "Well, this is your stop. Have a good day at school, big guy."
"Fuck you," Sasuke snapped as he slammed the door shut. He saw Kabuto laughing as he sped away. Sasuke sighed. He couldn't wait to graduate. Most of his friends had already, and once he did, he'd be moving into the large apartment they all shared.
The first bell rang, but before Sasuke could even make it into his homeroom classroom, a voice stopped him.
"Uchiha Sasuke, my office- now."
Sasuke rolled his eyes as he turned around to see the headmaster. He slowly followed him into the large office. Sasuke tugged at his uniform tie, undoing the first button as he slouched into a chair in front of a mahogany desk.
The headmaster pulled out a cardboard box. He set it on the floor, and one by one set the contents on his desk. About a dozen various bottles and cans sat between the two males.
"Do you have any idea what these are?"
Sasuke shrugged.
"These," he gestured to the items before him, "were found in your car. And several of the cans were found on the trail you were driving on."
"So?"
"Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
"Hn."
"You're not sorry or anything?"
"Sorry I got caught…" Sasuke mumbled. The headmaster sighed and leaned back in his chair. He rubbed his eyes, then the bridge of his nose.
"Look Sasuke," he began. "This is the last straw." He pulled out a large file and dropped it on the desk so it made a loud bang. "See this? This is your file- for your high school career alone.
"You're a smart boy, Sasuke. So I don't understand why you're hanging around with hooligans like Karin or that Orochimaru. Even Kabuto is pretty bad. Now I've given you plenty of chances to get your act together, but I'm afraid drastic times call for drastic measures."
Sasuke snorted. "What are you gonna do? Expel me?"
"No," the headmaster replied, surprising Sasuke. "That's exactly what you want. Then you can go run along with those boys whenever you please.
"Do you know where the town of Konohagakure is?"
"I've been there once or twice."
"Good. Because you're being transferred to Konoha Academy."
"Now frickin' way, I'm-"
"I spoke with the headmaster there, Haruno Ikichi. He understands your situation, and is willing to accept you to his school. You will, however, will have stricter rules, and will be watched at all times. One mess up, and you will be taken to the Board of Education, where it will be recommended you be sent to a Young Men's Correctional Facility, where you can learn to act like a normal human being in society."
Sasuke scowled. This was the last thing he needed. And his parents wouldn't like having to move…
"Like my parents would put up with this. They won't move all the way to Konohagakure just to-"
"Your parents won't be going with you. I spoke with them, and your father's business needs him here."
"So I'll get my own place?" Now this was more like it.
"Not so fast," the headmaster interrupted. "A sensei there, Hatake Kakashi, lives alone in an apartment down the street from the academy. He has an extra bedroom and is willing to provide you room and board. You will not have to pay him for food or rent, as your parents offered to do that for him."
Sasuke snorted. "You expect some professor to baby sit me?"
"Do not misjudge Hatake-san by his profession. He used to be a body guard and is skilled in hand-to-hand combat as well as martial arts. He has been ordered to do what it takes in order to keep you inline."
Sasuke frowned. Eighteen years old and being babysat. Just wait till the others heard about this- they'd never let him live it down.
"Do you understand everything I've told you?"
He nodded.
"Good. Pack your things and head out to Konohagakure. Your first day at Konoha Academy is tomorrow."
Sasuke sighed, slinging his backpack over his shoulder. Instead of calling Kabuto for another ride, he decided he would just walk. He wanted to think things over before telling his friends he'd be leaving.
"Oh and Sasuke?" Sasuke paused half way through the door, his head turned over his shoulder.
The headmaster gestured to the bottles and large file. "Don't mess this up. It's your last chance."

A/N: Well I'd love to know what everyone thinks of it. Should I continue it? Is it worth reading? Please let me know!!
Oh, and I would like to make it clear that this is not a SasuKarin story. Like Sasuke said, he doesn't even like her. I just needed a girl in this to help emphasize Sasuke before he… well, I don't want to give anything away. Basically, I needed someone to show the 'Before Sasuke' and figured she'd do. But yeah, this is a SasuSaku story through and through.
