Chapter 1 : Prologue .
When one starts high school,it's expected that things don't go very good. Bad grades,neglected looks,arguing with friends and family because of the stress..these are the things that happen in most cases.
For Haruno Sakura,rookie of Konoha High,it was a completely different story.
Teachers remarked her the very first day of school for being polite,intelligent and was active in class and respected them as elders.
Her grades were flawless,so far.
Although she was very dedicated to school,she looked like she had spent the whole day in front of the mirror. Long,nourished,coral hair was her most remarkable trait,along with light green eyes that shone when she smiled. She also had a petite body and clean,porcelain skin( with maybe a zit or two) which was visibly taken care of .
Although still a rookie,Sakura indeed left nice impression on both junior and senior students,especially on male side.
As every other girl,she had two best girlfriends,Ino and Hinata,with whom she shared every secret.
But there were two friends she'd known forever and that she was unseparatable with;loud and hyper active Naruto,and calm and cool Sasuke.
They were like brothers to her.
Considering how much hard work she puts in her school work and how she still has a respectable private life,she really was an example to other students.
Being late for class is the least expected thing.
And that was exactly what was happening on this fresh and sunny Monday morning.
''Naruto,if we have to be late for you one more time,I swear to God, Sasuke and I are gonna stop waiting for you!'' Sakura reproached her friend loudly while gasping for breath. She preferred walking to school on time over running to it while late.
''Sorry,sorry! But it's not a big deal,all we have to do is to enter the school without bumping upon Akatsuki ! Piece of cake !'' Naruto replied, trying to keep up running along Sakura and Sasuke.
They stopped at the crossroad, waiting for the green light.
''Akatsuki ?'' Sakura asked while retying her bow that kept her bangs up.''What the hell is that?''
''They're basically just a bunch of seniors that make school security team.'' Sasuke explained
'' They're supposed to control the security and manners of the school. And their signature colors are black and red or something like that.''
Sakura gave her bow one final strain ''But why are they so much of a problem? We can easily set up an excuse and problem solved!''
Light turned green and they proceeded running. Sasuke continued.
''It is a problem. They're doing their job quite good. Even too good. They can also be aggressive. Yea, they're quite a pain in the ass.''
Sakura started feeling uncomfortable .All this time she tried to have the best possible score in school and now it's all going to be ruined if she gets in detention for being late for class.
Naruto's voice woke her back to reality.''Hey,Sasuke ,isn't your brother in Akatsuki, too? Maybe,if we bump into him,we wont get detention !''
Sakura felt a ray of hope.''Do you think he we can really avoid detention like that,Sasuke?''
''Hell no. Itachi takes his job rather seriously. He was giving me a hard time,lately,so I think it's better to bump into anyone but him.'' Sasuke sighed and wiped away sweat drop of his forehead, annoyed look in his onyx eyes.
The light turned green again and they went back to sprinting.
They were getting closer to Konoha High and even cool Sasuke started feeling a little uncomfortable.
Huge, grey building was looking unfriendly as they approached it's gate. Naruto pulled the gate in order to open it. He struggled a little bit.'' Shit. It's locked.''
Back to silence. They were all formulating plans in their heads, but when they realized how useless most of them were, they mentally tossed them away.
Naruto was the one to break the silence,again. ''I have an idea how we can get inside. We just need to be quick and..''
''We can't just climb over the fence if that's what you're about to suggest. This gate is really tall. It wouldn't be much of a problem for you and me, but Sakura would struggle and might hurt herlself. We need another plan.''
Sakura didn't know whether to be touched by his concern mode or to be mad for underestimating her.
The more dominant side won.
'' Now wait just a second, are you telling me that I'm uncapable of something as simple as climbing over the fence?! What the hell, Sasuke-kun ?! ''
Sasuke sighed and mentally slapped himself for subconsciously underestimating his female best friend. He closed his eye in what supposed to look like annoyance.
'' Just think of the fact that you're wearing a skirt. '' he turned his head slightly to the side to hide the ghost of blush on his cheeks. '' I can control Naruto's perverted instincts,but what if there are other perverts around ? Would you really like to give them a peek ? '' he asked her seriously, ignoring Naruto's complaints that consisted of calling Sasuke a '' teme '' and '' how he would never be a pervert near Sakura-chan ! ''
Sakura's face flushed the odd shade of red as she shook her head, annoyed that she had to admit Sasuke's victory.
Proud of his proven point, Sasuke continued . '' Exactly. We need another plan,as I said. ''
Silence dominated once again.
Sakura mentally pondered the ways to get into the schoolyard and rejected them in her head one by one. Until one possibility drew her attention.
She snapped her fingers. '' I have an idea . '' when both Naruto and Sasuke looked at her she continued. '' There's a hole in the fence at the back of the school. It would be too tiny for you two to go through it but I'm small enough to fit ! Why don't you two climb over the fence and I'll enter through that hole ? ''
'' Sakura-chan, are you sure ? '' Naruto began spektically. '' I mean, it's pretty distant from the school entrance. What if you run into Akatsuki and we won't be there to help you ? '' he asked worriedly.
She gave him a smile.'' Don't worry,Naruto ! I'm a big girl now,I can deffend myself . We just need to be fast to meet at the school entrance and we're good. ''
'' Be careful, Sakura. '' Sasuke commanded. '' If you see Akatsuki, run like the hell to the school entrance . We will be there waiting for you. ''
Sakura nodded. '' Got it . And don't worry, guys, after those kick-box lessons you gave me, nobody can get even close to me! ''
And with that , she turned on her heel and hurried to the back of the school .
Sasuke's eyes followed her '' Be careful Sakura.''
As she was circling around the fence that guarded the yard, Sakura started to feel a little anxious. Those guys, the Akatsuki,they sure don't seem like the guys to mess around with,especially if Sasuke and Naruto are worried about bumping into them.
She rubbed her shoulders nervously. ''I feel like I'm being watched.'' Sakura shivered once ''I hope it's not them.''
And then she remembered that she actually doesn't know what they look like. '' How the hell am I supposed to know who they are if I see them ? ''
'' Their signature colors are red and black . '' her memory of what Sasuke said began to re-collect. '' But a lot of people wear black and red , how am I supposed to .. ''
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sight of the hole she was looking for . She had no idea what could made the hole that big and even less why didn't their prestigious school took time to repair it .
She got close to the fence , exammining the size of the hole and the ripped ends of it .
Once she made sure it's big enough for her to fit , Sakura bit her lip nervously.'' Time to do this shit.''
She left her handbag next to the hole,in order to reach for it after she passes through the hole.
Once her leg was on the other side of the hole,she started pulling herself through.
She tucked her stomach as much as he held her breath.''I'll do a few inches more.''
When her head was inside the schoolyard, she was relieved.''Thank God,I'm in.'' Sakura turned around to reach for her handbag she left on the other side of the hole. When handbag found way to her hands,she clapped the dust off of it.''All I need to do now is to find Naruto and Sasuke and I'm all safe.'' She thought happily, as she started to turn around.
She stopped.
Oh,no.
Oh,God,no.
Her heart was beating so fast she thought it was going to fly out of her chest,as she faced a pair of warm blue eyes,one covered with long blonde hair. She felt his breath on her lips, realizing her that he was just a couple of inches away from her face.
Deidara smirked.
