Hello all, please review, but ONLY IF YOU LIKE IT! No flames. :) Flamers make me wanna kill someone! (Itachi: I can't believe you suckered me into another one of your stupid stories...) Shut up, Itachi. At least you only play a small, SMALL part in it. (Itachi: -pouting-) In this story, Itachi is a real big brother to Sasuke and their parents aren't dead. Now, on to the story! And for anyone who thinks i'm a girl, you're terribly wrong. I'm a (somewhat) caring guy. I care about my faithful readers; you know who you are, faithful readers!

Sasuke was sleeping in that morning. He had only started to wake up when Sakura burst into the room. "HEY SASUKE," she yelled, obviously excited for some reason. "YOU READY YET?"

Sasuke glared at her. "Ready for what?"

Sakura stared at him. "For the first day of high school, of course! Now get off your laze butt and get dressed!" She said after a minute.

He looked at his clock. "HOLY SH...IT'S ONLY 6 A.M.!" He stared at the pink-haired girl in his room. What a nuisence..., he thought bitterly. Then Sasuke looked down. All he had worn to bed was a pair of boxers. Suddenly, he found himself blushing. Sakura was, too. "Well then get the heck outta my room! And why are you in my house, anyway!?" He retorted. He was in a really bad mood. Stupid girls...SHOOT, I sound like Shikamaru! He added silently.

Sakura pouted and left the room. Sasuke got up and threw on his favorite outfit. Then he went downstairs. He saw everyone at the table waiting for him.

Meanwhile, in the Uzumaki household...

Naruto's alarm was blairing. "Nghhh..." He groaned with the effort of heaving himself to his feet. He then pushed his alarm clock off his bedside table and smirked as it shattered on the floor. "Oops." He said jokingly. He got dressed, then went downstairs to make some instant ramen. "Yet another boring day, alone..." He said breathlessly. Then he realized something. It was the first day of school! "That means pranks! Girls! Friends! And best of all, being able (or at least try) to throttle Sasuke for being such a jerk! Except, where would I be without him...He's my best friend..." He thought aloud. "Eh, well we're all going into 9th grade, so it should be fun!"

And in the Hyuuga clan...

Neji went into Hinata's room to wake her up. "Hey, wake up. It's your destiny to wake up!" He raved about destiny for a while after that.

Hinata sat up and narrowed her eyes at him. "H-hey N-Neji...I th-thought you were o-ov-ver that-t whole d-destin-ny th-thing...Wh-what wo-ould T-Ten Ten s-say?"

Neji nearly punched Hinata out, but then he remembered that she was part of the main house. He bowed to her. "Please forgive me." He said through gritted teeth. He walked out of the room. "My pain in the butt cousin..." He muttered. He got a soda out of the fridge. He looked outside and saw something that nearly made him drop his soda. Ten Ten was sprinting to his house. His stomach tightened and he nearly collapsed. He went outside and caught her in an embrace. She pressed her lips to his for a quick kiss. Then she stood back and looked at him.

"Your hair's gotten longer since last year." She teased him as he brushed a strand of hair out of his face, embarrassed. "But don't worry, I still love you." She said and winked at him. He chuckled lightly. Then he remembered that he was holding a soda and that it was nearly freezing his hand off.

"HOLY..! Ugh... Cold..." He muttered and dropped the soda. Ten Ten whipped around and picked up the soda.

"Don't you want it?" She asked him. He slowly shook his head. "Can I have it?" She asked. Neji slowly nodded. "Thanks!" She said cheerfully and popped it open. She then chugged it and it was gone in a matter of seconds. Neji's mouth hung open, wide-eyed. "What?" She asked him, concerned that her boyish habit scared Neji.

Neji was suddenly nervous around his girlfriend.

At school...

Everyone stood at the foot of the stairs and eyed the door curiously. "Well guys, this is it..." Ino said.

"How troublesome...I hate school..." Shikamaru groaned breathlessly.

Sasuke and Naruto smirked, about to make school a competition too, while Hinata and Sakura just groaned at the two.

Then, the group burst through the doors, not knowing what high school will bring them.

Sorry about the shortness of the chapter. I just need more drive to write this. Just send me those reviews and I'll crank out this story as fast as possible if i get encouragement from everyone. NO FLAMES!!!!
