Next chapter! Woot! Sorry it took so long. After all that time, finishing it up only took like, not that long. .
Disclaimer: All I own is my managa and hitai- ate. But Masashi Kishimoto, he has freaking everything! -.-
Naruto walked into first period math with Mr. Morino, one of the teachers that actually made you call him by his last name. The warning bell had just rung and he had plenty of time to talk to Sasuke, but when he walked in he saw Sasuke in a wierd predicament indeed. Sakura, Ino,and Temari were surrounding him, dressing him up. He had two blue bow clips in his hair, a black beaded necklace, and the collar of his dark blue polo was popped. He looked ridiculous.
"He would look so unbelievably hot with a bit of eye liner!" Sakura squeeled, whipping eyeliner seemingly out of nowhere and popping off the top.
"Hm, the necklace looks lonely without bracelets." Temari said slipping her beaded black bracelets off. A moment later the girls stepped back admiring their work.
Kiba walked in behind Naruto, the two exchanged a look and burst out laughing. "Sasuke, why the hell did you let them do that to you?" Naruto yelled, keeling over while clutching his stomach. He looked frickin ridiculous!
"Not a fucking word Uzumaki." the raven growled dangerously, sending out death-rays with his eyes. He moved to take the bows out of his hair but was stopped by squealing girls.
"Don't you dare Sasuke! We worked too hard making you pretty for you to ruin it." Ino said swatting his hand away when he attempted to remove more jewelery.
"Why would I want to look pretty?"
"Then a hot guy will want you." Temari said.
Sasuke almost liked them better when they all still thought he was straight and wanted him. Now they insisted on going shopping with him, dressing him up, and trying to hook him up with every guy they knew. It was frustrating to say the least. "Any guys in mind?"
"Well, you know, I do know someone that's a guy." Temari said with a smirk. "He's sort of your type too, broody, not too talkative."
"A description that fits one other person in this grade, and a junior." Ino grinned.
"Oh, I think you know which one I'm talking about."
Sasuke glared at the two blondes, "If you're talking about your brother..." He trailed off.
Temari smiled sweetly at him, "Of course!" Sasuke gave her a doubting look, "Come on Sasuke, he's an attractive gay guy. He sort of likes you, and you two have a lot in common."
"That being what?"
"You both hate everything!" she waved her hands through the air to emphasize her point, "Come on Sasuke, give him a chance. He's been asking about you for a while."
"You guys are hopeless." Naruto said, Kiba still laughing.
Sasuke glanced around the room, Gaara was sitting on the other side. He was pretty hot, there was no way around that. But he was also creepy as shit, no way around that either. As he was still staring, Gaara glanced over at him. His invisible eyebrow rose just barely at Sasuke's attire, but other than that he showed nothing. "So what do you think Sasuke? He's quite a looker after all!" Pale blue eyes were in Sasuke's face.
"Shove off, Ino!" he growled pushing her away, "Alright, I'll give him a chance. Since you three won't leave me alone until you see some action between two guys."
"It's not that Sasuke!" Ino lied horribly, "We just think that if you're with someone you'll be less emo all the time. And since Gaara is suffering from emoness too, you're perfect!"
"Stop calling me emo." Sasuke said, then Mr. Morino walked into the class. He walked to his desk, glancing at Sasuke and muttering something about "Kakashi," and "Cross-dresser."
"I heard that Ibiki." Sasuke said, shooting a glare at his Math teacher.
"I know," the tall, scarred man replied, "And that's Mr. Morino to you. No first names! I expect respect, unlike all those other lazy asses that call themselves teachers."
"He's insulting them, and he's swearing in class?" Sakura gave a look to Ino.
"Quiet down class!" he said. "TIme to start your tenth-grade year of Math." He proceeded to go into a long-winded explanation of what they would be learning about, and how difficult all the exams would be. Ensuring them that a majority of them would find themselves in summer school by the looks of it.
"He sounds tough," Naruto said with wide eyes as they walked down the hall to History.
"Che, Ibiki loves sounding tough. He believes you need to be strong to make it in the real world. He tries to scare his students as much as possible and whoever doesn't get completely freaked gets better grades." Sasuke explained. "He's just crazy, like every other teacher in this school."
"Yeah, they need to stop that." Kiba muttered.
"Study lab with Genma," Sasuke said as he walked to the Cafeteria with Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Chouji. "Fuck. Shit. Up."(1) He pushed open the door, walking over to the usual lunch table. He had completely forgotten that he was still cross-dressed. Though how he had is a complete mystery.
"Sasuke! I have you aga-What are you wearing?" Genma said, stopping mid-glomp. He stared curiously at the eyeliner and jewelery. "I mean, the collar is one thing. It's actually sort of hot. But the make-up, taking it way too far."
"Shut up Genma," Sasuke muttered, tearing off the bracelets and necklace, almost breaking them in the process. Good thing he didn't, Temari would have been severely unhappy. He went to rub the make-up off his eyes but Shikamaru stopped him.
"If you do that you'll only end up looking like Gaara." he said, flicking a glance across the cafeteria to where Gaara was sitting.
"Do I want to know how you know that?" Sasuke asked warily.
"Just common sense, don't be so troublesome about it."
"Speaking of Gaara though..." Naruto trailed off.
"Don't remind me," Sasuke mumbled.
"What?" Genma asked, shoving Shikamaru over so he could squeeze into the seat across from Sasuke.
"Nothing Genma!"
"Temari, Ino, and Sakura want to hook Sasuke up with Gaara." Naruto said, grinning when Sasuke glared at him.
"What's wong with him? I seem to remember you saying you kind of liked him. He's not half bad once you get past the super raccoon eyes." Genma stared over at Gaara.
"Panda-chan." Sasuke muttered, ignoring the odd look Naruto gave him as he watched Gaara. His eyes widened when he saw Temari and Ino talking to him, then grabbing him and forcing him to walk in Sasuke's direction. Were they really going to do that now?
"Sasuke," Ino called, "Gaara wants to talk to you." Yes they were.
Gaara stared cooly at Sasuke, not that his face ever really betrayed any emotion.(2) "Somehow I doubt that Ino." Sasuke said. "Oh by the way, here's your crap Temari." He handed the jewelery and clips back to her."
"Hey! You weren't supposed to take them out." Ino said.
"I looked retarded."
"You looked pretty, don't you think he looked pretty Gaara?"
Gaara turned to her and blinked, slowly. Ino laughed softly, backing away.
"But Gaara likes you Sasuke," Temari said. "He just doesn't want to say that he wants to-"
"Temari." Gaara said in a low, warning voice. "Stop talking."
Sasuke smirked, he had to sympathize for the guy. Those girls were so annoying, and they were always bothering both of them. Maybe Temari was right, maybe they did have a lot in common. But that didn't mean he was going to go out with Panda-chan, yet.
The next day in French Sakura walked into class and cleared her throat, yelling for everyone's attention. "Okay, so this weekend my parents are going out on some trip or other," she waved her hands like that fact was unimportant, "And I get the house to myself. I'm allowed to have a few friends over so... Party at my place! Starts tonight at nine, ends tomorrow whenever!"
"What's the occasion?" Hinata asked.
"We could just say it's a beginning of the school year party. But I don't get why anyone would want to celebrate that."
"Sakura I don't remember giving you permission to use my class time to plan parties." Kakashi said from his desk, not looking up from his book.
"Well you never use it for anything." Ino reminded him.
Kakashi sighed, "Actually, that's true. Carry on."
"Okay so, you're all invited, and I also invited a few of the juniors. Neji, TenTen, and Lee." the pink-haired girl said, taking a seat at her regular table.
"You invited Lee?" Ino asked. Giving her the 'You're-completely-psycho-oh-my-gosh-where-are-your-meds?' look.
"He was right there when I invited TenTen and Neji, and he's not that bad... Sometimes." Sakura sighed in defeat. There was no excuse for inviting the green horror (jr.).
In Physics class, Lee sneezed.
"I don't know if I should go." Sasuke said to Naruto as they made their way to Health, slowly.
"Why not? It sounds like fun!"
"You're going?"
"You bet! All the hottest girls are gonna be there." Naruto frowned, "But I guess that's not such a pull factor for you."
"Hardly." Sasuke answered dryly.
"But all the hot guys are gonna be there too! And Gaara," he nudged Sasuke suggestively. "Sakura would have plenty of empty rooms."
"Yeah, but you think Sakura and Ino would leave me alone to make out with a guy? Oh no. They'd follow with cameras."
"Ah well," Naruto paused, "You're going!" He set his face determinedly.
"Fine. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Kakashi's having some friends over to drink tonight. I don't want to be with a drunk Genma." he shuddered.
"What about me?" Genma frowned at Sasuke as the teen walked through his classroom.
"Nothing Genma."
The brunette sighed, "Everybody's always like that." He started class.
An hour before the party Sasuke was sitting in his and Kakashi's living room, watching a re-run of Numbers. He didn't even like that show, but the new seasons hadn't started yet so of course he was stuck watching whatever was on. He sighed as he attempted to follow Charlie's complex math problem. Yeah. Right. That guy went from an elf to a freakin genious? I think not.
When the show was halfway through the door burst open, and Genma bursted through dragging Raidou along behind him. "Bring on the beer!" He walked into the Living Room, spotting Sasuke (Who had been trying to get up to his room) and ran over and glomped him. "Sasuke! Long time no see."
"I just saw you earlier today! Why do you have to be so fucking hyper all the time?" the raven said, shrugging Genma violently off.
"See Raidou? I told you he was mean to me!"
"Hm, looks like you deserved it to me." the other man said. He had spiky dark brown hair, and a burn scar running along his left cheek to his nose.
"You're all out to get me." Genma glared at the two. Kakashi walked in, "You are too!"
Kakashi stopped, his mismatched eyes giving them a confused look. "What did I do?"
"You're out to get him." Raiduou informed him, rolling his eyes.
"Ah, of course." Kakashi decided not to ask. Just like he'd decided not to ask whether Genma was on drugs.
"I'm leaving." Sasuke said.
"I'm glad you asked."
"Whatever," Sasuke walked out, but the three could catch a low, "Stupid fucks." Just before he slammed the door behind him. He thought sarcastically, 'Oh how I love them.'
((1- Okay, I just need to explain this phrase. Fuck shit up, well, I usually say it when I get mad about something. Therefore, Sasuke says it when he gets mad about something. That's not really what the phrase means, but whatevs.
2- Gaara's still going to be more or less emotionless. But he might be just a bit more emotional than he is in the series. Real people aren't like that all the time.
Ah, I'm sorry about the quality of this chapter. It's short, and it's all voer the place. I'm wokring on it, I just suck at working up to the plot. Reviews and con-crit (Constructive criticism) are not only welcome, but needed! You see, if you feed the author, she writes faster. .
Oh by the way: I'm starting a new fic! . I got the idea, and it's been bugging me since a couple hours ago when I came up with it.
