Strawberry Panic (Naruto Style!) Chapter 2: Etoile!
(Note: Hi everyone, it's Aerisuke here... again! Look, I just wanted to apologize for not working on the Naruto version of Strawberry Panic. I know that it's been three months since I haven't uploaded the next chapter. It's just that I've been busy with personal family business and school. But yeah... anyways, I'm really sorry. Oh, and also, there is going to be a few changes in the characters. Most of the characters are the same, but except there will be people playing three characters:
Itachi as Miyuki Rokujo (due to his close "brotherly" bond with Sasuke.)
Deidara as Tsubomi Okuwaka (due to him going, "Hmph." all the time.)
(And at last but not least:)
Gaara as Kagome Byakudan (due to him carrying a teddy bear when he was a little boy.)
(Note: Please enjoy the chapter! Also, Sasuke and Sakura are sixteen in this one.)
The next day...
Naruto was reciting a poem that he was going to share with the class that he had written.
"Is the ocean of tears really that far away? Or is it at the edge of the destroyed earth? Nevertheless, I will not mourn, and within that cold winter light, I will die in that freezing place. Oh, rainbow! Rainbow! The rainbow. My beloved rainbow. The beloved rainbow. My cherished rainbow... hmm. I will stay by your side forever." said Naruto.
Finally, Naruto cried:
"I did it!" cried Naruto as he went back to his dorm to go and wake Sakura up.
"Sakura, it's time to wake up! Sakura, wake up. It's morning." said Naruto as Sakura moaned.
"Oh, how cute! Sa... ku... ra... please... wake... up..." said Naruto with a singing tone as he was caressing Sakura's left cheek with his right index finger.
Sakura then awoke with a start with a start and said:
"What?"
"Good morning!" cried Naruto with a grin.
"My goodness, Naruto. I told you not to make fun of me, did I not?" asked Sakura.
"Even when you're angry, you look so beautiful." said Naruto with a smile.
"Whatever, I don't give a heck about what you do." said Sakura as she put the blanket over her.
"It seems that your school uniform has been delivered." said Naruto as Sakura took off the blanket and looked at the outfit and saw Naruto with a grin while holding it.
"Huh? Cool! Now I'll be able to wear the same uniform like everyone else!" cried Sakura as she sat up.
"Let's hurry up, so we can get you dressed." said Naruto as Sakura stood up and grabbed the outfit.
"Well if I have to change, I can do it alone, right?" asked Sakura.
"You don't have to be so selfish. After all, it is such a hassle to put on the school uniform, right? But until you get used to it, then I will happily assist you." said Naruto with a grin as he was about to take
off Sakura's pajamas. But a hesitant Sakura said:
"You know, Naruto..."
To which Naruto replied:
"Please don't squirm."
"W-Wai-" said Sakura as she fell stepped on the sheets of her bed and fell down.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Sakura! Are you okay?" asked Naruto.
Sakura was embarrassed as she realized that she fell on the ground as Naruto put on her new outfit.
"Oh, the size fits you perfectly!" cried Naruto as Sakura stood in front of the mirror.
"It sure is." said Sakura.
"It looks so cute on you." said Naruto.
"R-Really?" asked Sakura as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Now Sakura, please have a seat." said Naruto as he gave Sakura a chair to sit on.
"Right." said Sakura as she down on the chair.
"Now we have to brush you hair, alright?" asked Naruto as he began brushing her hair.
Later that day...
As Sasuke was walking to the cafeteria with Itachi and the other Etoile assistants, the other Etoile girls said:
"Mr. Etoile, good morning!"
"Good morning." said Sasuke with a smile.
Naruto and Sakura were running to the cafeteria.
"Naruto! You're too picky, you know that? Why do we have to hurry for breakfast?" asked Sakura.
"I can't put my mind on something else when I'm so hungry!" cried Naruto as Sasuke, Itachi, and the other Etoile assistants were walking to the cafeteria.
"Oh no!" cried Naruto as Sakura bumped into Sasuke.
As Naruto and Sakura were heading to the cafeteria, Sakura accidentally and surprisingly bumped into Sasuke.
"I'm so sorry!" cried Sakura as she saw Sasuke.
"Mr. Etoile... I'm so sorry Mr. Etolie, I thought I was going to be late and..." said Sakura as Sasuke interrupted her by saying:
"Good morning."
"G-Good morning." replied Sakura.
"Ms. Haruno, as Student Body Council President, there is to be no running in the corridors, do you understand? Please make sure that this doesn't happen again." said a strict Iruka.
"I'm sorry. I'll be careful next time." said Sakura.
"May I please have your name?" asked Sasuke.
"Huh?" asked Sakura.
"Haruno..." said Sasuke asking for her name.
"Sakura, I'm Sakura Haruno." said Sakura as she introduced herself to Sasuke.
"Sakura... what a beautiful name. May I call you Sakura?" asked Sasuke with a smile.
"Huh?" asked Sakura.
"That uniform... it fits you so perfectly, no?" asked Sasuke as he tied Sakura's necktie.
"Your necktie was getting loose." said Sasuke as he was done tying Sakura's necktie.
"I hope that today... " said Sasuke as Sakura's eyes widened in shock as he was about to kiss her again.
"...will be a wonderful day." said Sasuke.
"My body...I can't move again. No." said Sakura to herself.
Just then, the clock struck again.
"Sakura!" said Naruto as he walked to Sakura.
"It's time. Come on, let's go. Excuse us, Mr. Etoile." said Naruto as he and Sakura entered the cafeteria as Sasuke giggled at them and smiled.
"Alright everyone, it's time. Please go inside and be seated. It's time for the morning prayer." said Itachi as the boys and girls went inside the cafeteria.
He then looked at Sasuke and said:
"As for you, Sasuke. You should be more careful with a girl who just transferred here."
Sasuke then scoffed and said:
"What, another lecture? Who are you, Father and Mother?"
Itachi then said:
"I'm just saying that you should be more careful when you're with a girl like Ms. Haruno. After all... she did transfer here, right?"
"There's no need for that right now, Itachi. It's just that she's so cute, that's all. I can't help but stare at her cuteness." said Sasuke as he turned around and glared at Itachi and said:
"After all... Father and Mother are dead... because of you, Itachi. So what I do is none of your business." as he walked away from Itachi.
"I understand." said Itachi.
Later that day...
Naruto and Sakura were walking to class.
"That was so scary. For some reason, I felt like Mr. Etoile was trying to kiss me, so I... I felt like my heart was racing, so much that I almost passed out." said Sakura as she felt her heart beating fast.
"But... my heart... it's still racing." said Sakura.
"He's probably doing that because I think he likes you, Sakura." said Naruto.
"He likes me?" asked a shocked Sakura.
"Yeah, but it's the truth." said Naruto.
"Naruto..." said Sakura.
"Come on, let's go." said Naruto with a smile.
"Yeah." said Sakura as they were continuing their walk to class.
As Naruto and Sakura walked inside the cafeteria a bunch of Random Miator girls that were also Sasuke fangirls came out and said:
"Good morning!"
"Hey, is it true that Mr. Etoile kissed you?" asked a random Miator girl.
"Um, well..." said Sakura, blushing in embarrassment.
"Is it true?" asked another random Miator girl.
"How did you...?" asked a confused Naruto.
"For someone to be kissed by Mr. Etoile, it's quite extraordinary." said another random Miator girl.
"How did you feel?" asked another.
"Well, um... it's not..." said Sakura.
"So you have actually been kissed by Mr. Etoile, right?" asked another random Miator girl.
"Well... that's... " said Sakura.
"I'm so jealous! I only wish he could've kissed me instead!" said another random Miator who was also known as another one of Sasuke's fangirls.
"Since you're the new transfer student, Mr. Etoile likes you already. I think it's wonderful." said another random Miator Sasuke fangirl.
"Hey, Naruto, can you please cover for me?" asked Sakura as she was about to leave. But sadly another Sasuke fangirl of Miator said:
"So tell us, what is it like to being kissed by Mr. Etoile?"
"Cut it out, okay?" asked an embarrassed Sakura.
"This is going to be a long day." said Naruto who, like Sakura, was also embarrassed.
While the teacher was reading a poem to the class, Sakura was surprised to find out about how Sasuke was popular in the St. Miator All Boys' And Girls' Academy.
"Since I've been asked if he ever kissed me, Mr. Etoile sure is popular." said Sakura to herself as she remembered as Sasuke was that close to kissing her.
"But, why is that...?" she asked to herself.
Later that day...
It was lunchtime in the cafeteria and Naruto and Sakura were sitting down in the cafeteria and having lunch together.
"The food looks delicious!" cried Sakura as she was amazed at how good the food was.
"Here you go." said Naruto as he gave Sakura a bite of the food.
"This food is good! " cried Sakura.
"That's great. This place takes orders to the boarding school students. But the people who came back here can eat whatever they want, but the Strawberries are forbidden to eat whatever they want." said Naruto with a smile.
"I'm surprised to see a cafeteria here at this school." said Sakura.
Naruto then noticed that Sakura had finished all her food.
"Huh?" asked Sakura.
"You must have been very hungry, have you?" asked Naruto.
"Oh, I guess since that whole incident with Mr. Etoile happened this morning, I haven't been really eating anything." said Sakura.
"So that's it..." said Naruto as he lifted up his plate and said:
"If you're still hungry, I'll give you some of my food."
" I don't want to take your food away from you. It'd make me feel bad. Are you sure?" asked Sakura.
"It's okay! Go on, take it." said Naruto.
Sakura then grabbed his plate and said:
"Thank you!"
"Oh, and about the clubs, have you decided which club you'll join?" asked Naruto.
"No, I don't really know if there are any clubs available right now..." said Sakura.
"Well, how about joining the literature club that I'm in?" asked Naruto.
"Literature club?" asked Sakura.
"Yes. I love to read and write poetry, above all things. After this, there's going to be a club meeting, do you want to go with me?" asked Naruto.
"But I'm not really good at writing poetry, so I..." said Sakura.
"Yeah, but I'm going to giving a reading from my poem to the class." said Naruto.
"Huh? A poem?" asked Sakura.
"Yes, I also want you to hear it. That's no big deal, is it?" asked Naruto.
"All right. If you're able to write a poem, then..." said Sakura.
"Really? I'm so happy." said Naruto with a smile.
Just then, Bando and Kagura came.
"Mr. Bando. Ms. Kagura." said Naruto as he stood up and bowed his head.
"Uh, where's Mr. Etoile?" asked Naruto.
"As of right now, Mr. Etoile is in the luncheon with the three Student Body Council Presidents of Spica, Le Rim, and Miatre." said Bando.
"Excuse us." said Kagura as she and Bando left.
Naruto then looked at Sakura and said:
"Whenever there's a meeting that's involving the three schools, usually, Mr. Etoile is always there."
"Hmmm, I guess Mr. Etoile must have a lot of responsibilities." said Sakura.
Later that day...
Itachi noticed that Sasuke had disappeared.
"What's going on?" asked Itachi.
"I'm so sorry. But he was just here a minute ago, and then..." said a random Miator girl.
"So... we were outsmarted once again." said Itachi.
Just then, another Miator girl came into the room.
"Student Body Council President Itachi." she said.
"What is it?" asked Itachi.
"The Student Body Council Presidents of Spica and Le Rim are here to see you." said the Miator girl.
Itachi then went into the cafeteria to look for Sasuke.
"Itachi-sensei." said Sakura as she noticed Itachi coming into the cafeteria.
"Huh?" asked Naruto as he saw Itachi.
"Look, he's with Mr. Bando and the others." said Sakura.
"What?" asked Kagura.
"Shh. Yes. When we looked away for just one second, he escaped. All the members of the Student Body Council are searching for him, but will you please help me find my little brother Sasuke, as well? If Sasuke isn't back in time, then there's no telling of what we'll do." said Itachi.
"I wonder what's going on?" asked Sakura.
"Me too." said Naruto.
Back in the Student Body Council Room...
The other Student Body Council Presidents were also waiting for Sasuke to show up.
"Both Mr. Etoile and the Miator Student Body Council Members are late. What a shame. Even though Le Rim and Spica are already here, it's a shame that Mr. Etoile of Miator is not here." said Tenten.
"That's true." said Sai.
Just then, Itachi came in the room.
"I'm sorry. We're sorry for the inconvenience, but..." said Itachi.
"What happened? I don't suppose that something terrible must've happened to Mr. Etoile now, has there?" asked Tenten.
"But... that's..." said Itachi.
Sai then giggled and said:
"I wonder if he ran off, again?"
"Is this true?" asked Tenten as she looked at Itachi.
"Something's amiss." said Itachi.
Later that day...
Naruto was reading his poem to the class.
"All seven colors have been released. The rainbow has spread it throughout the world. Every time I see that smile upon your face, I had already given up everything. But rainbow, to me you're just an illusion. Your beautiful colors will remain in my heart forever. Oh, rainbow. Rainbow! When I've realized that you brought me to the closest place in my heart, I..." said Naruto as he continued his poem.
"Naruto's so cool!" said Sakura to herself with a smile as she was in awe at how great Naruto's poem was.
"I'm unable to grieve. Is the ocean of tears really that far away? Or is it at the edge of the destroyed earth? Nevertheless, I will not mourn, and within that cold winter light, I will die in that freezing place. Oh, rainbow! Rainbow! The rainbow. My beloved rainbow. The beloved rainbow. My cherished rainbow... I will stay by your side forever." said Naruto as he was done reading his poem as the students clapped for him... including Sakura!
"That was wonderful, Mr. Uzumaki. While there is a person that is in love with someone, one continues to follow that special someone that's dear to them. You have proved that sorrow that was deep in your heart very good. I was moved." said Iruka, the creative writing teacher.
"Thank you, Iruka-sensei. I'm glad that you liked it." said Naruto with a smile.
"Hey, can you read it again?" asked a Miator girl.
"Huh?" asked Naruto.
"I want to hear it again." said a Miator boy.
"I want to hear it again, too!" said another Miator boy.
"I also want to hear it again." said Iruka.
"Oh, yes! I will recite it for you once more! Oh, rainbow! Rainbow..." said Naruto as he was reading his poem once again.
Later that day...
Sakura was taking a walk and was trying to come up with creative things on how to make her poem.
"You're really something, Naruto. One day, you might became a famous poet. Oh, beautiful sunlight... beautiful sun... oh, beautiful sunlight... beautiful sunlight... it's not working." said Sakura as she was trying to come up with a poem after she was inspired by the poem that Naruto wrote.
"I guess I don't have the talent to create poems after all." said a disappointed Sakura.
Suddenly, she heard a voice say:
"Mr. Etoile..."
Sakura then turned around and saw a girl with Sasuke... another girl that he was about to kiss!
"Huh? That's... Mr. Etoile. So he didn't attend the lunch meeting? Ugh... no matter how much you look at it, this has a weird atmosphere." said Sakura to herself as Sasuke started laughing at the girl that he was about to kiss.
Just then, a twig snapped as Sakura realized that she stepped on it.
Sasuke then looked at the tree and heard Sakura running.
"What the...? What the heck was that?" asked a disgusted Sakura to herself as she ran back to class after she saw Sasuke about to kiss that girl that was also from Miator.
Sasuke then smirked as he realized that Sakura was watching him trying to kiss that other Miator girl.
Finally, after Sakura stopped running, she was still disgusted by the way that Sasuke was trying to kiss that Miator girl.
"I saw something really weird! Something like that... it turned out to be..." said Sakura to herself as she caught her breath and looked at her surroundings.
"What? Wow... what a gorgeous place." said Sakura as she saw a library and went inside it.
"So... this is a library?" asked Sakura.
Meanwhile, with the Student Body Council Presidents...
"And just how long do you think they're going to keep us waiting?" asked Tenten.
"Um, excuse me, Spica Student Body Council President, Tenten, if we're not going to wait for Mr Etoile to show up, why not just start eating already while we're waiting for him?" asked Sai.
"Huh?" asked Tenten.
"There's no question that Mr. Etoile might show up or not, and if he comes, he comes. After all, we're all starving, right?" asked Sai as the other Student Body Council Presidents of the other schools all nodded their heads.
"Astraea please be patient, Le Rim Student Body Council President, Sai, but I cannot believe that I have heard those words come right out of your mouth. We have to wait for Mr. Etoile to say grace." said Tenten.
"That's true, but..." said Sai.
"Rules are rules. But even now, Mr Etoile's tardy habits are always getting on our nerves." said Tenten.
Meanwhile, with Itachi...
Itachi and the other Student Body Council Members were continuing their search for Sasuke.
"So, he's nowhere to be found?" asked Itachi.
"Yes." said a Student Body Council member.
"Oh well. I guess we might have to postpone today's lunch meeting." said Iachi.
"But..." said another member of the Student Body Council.
"It's impossible. We will not make them wait any longer. It's done." said Itachi.
"But still, I wonder where Mr. Etoile is?" asked Kagura.
"That's right, Mr. Etoile surprised me." said the girl that Sasuke almost kissed.
"Yeah. I heard he was going to the library." said another Miator girl.
Meanwhile, with Sakura...
Sakura was exploring the library as she saw boys and girls trying to kiss in the library.
Just then, Sakura saw a stained glass window where the sun was shining through it.
"Wow." said Sakura as she was in shock and in awe at how beautiful the stained glass window was. As she was amazed at how beautiful it was, Sasuke appeared. Sakura then turned around as he touched her left shoulder with his right hand.
"I'm so happy... that I was able to find you here. Your have such gorgeous hair... " said Sasuke as he touched Sakura's hair.
"No, don't... " said Sakura.
"There's no reason for you to be afraid of me, Sakura. " said Sasuke.
"What should I do... my body... it can't move again..." said Sakura to herself.
"Your adorable eyes would make any man want to fall in love with you. Your face is so beautiful." said Sasuke as he looked at her eyes then touched her face as he smirked to which he put his left hand on Sakura's chin as he was almost about to kiss her until...
"Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow!"
...until Ino Yamanaka dropped her books.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" asked Sakura as she went to go help Ino pick up her books.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I..." said Ino as she looked at Sakura.
"Are you okay though?" asked Sakura.
"Sakura! Sakura!" said Sakura as she heard Naruto calling her name.
"Naruto..." said Sakura.
"Sakura! Thank God! I was looking all over for you. What are you doing here?" asked Naruto.
"Well, I, um..." said Sakura as she was looking back at the stained glass window where Sasuke kissed her only to find him gone.
"But most importantly, what are you doing here, Naruto?" asked Sakura.
"After I left the club, I bumped into Itachi-sensei. He said that you were here in the library and that I should hurry over there to meet you here." said Naruto.
"Itachi-sensei said that?" asked Sakura.
While Naruto and Sakura were talking, Sasuke was eavesdropping on their conversation.
Later that night...
"Foolish little brother, how long do you plan to keep on doing things like this? Today, this is the second time that you skipped the lunch meeting, Sasuke. If you continue this foolishness, then as your older brother, I won't be able to stand by your side anymore. But in any case, I want you to fully fulfill your duties as the Etoile from now on." said Itachi.
"Is that all there is to this stupid lecture of yours, Itachi?" asked Sasuke as Itachi looked at his little brother while his back was turned.
"Good night, Itachi." said Sasuke.
"Good night, Sasuke." said Itachi as he left Sasuke's room.
Meanwhile, with Naruto and Sakura...
"Even though there's a rumor that Mr. Etoile might be in love with someone, I heard that it doesn't last forever." said Naruto as he was putting nail polish on Sakura's nails.
"Is that so?" asked Sakura.
"But it'll be okay, Sakura. Don't worry. I'll be more careful to watch over you from now on." said Naruto with a smile.
"What should I do? Whenever I find myself with Mr. Etoile, I become helpless when I'm around him."
said Sakura to herself.
Meanwhile, with Sasuke...
Sasuke had his bedroom window open while looking at the moon.
"Ever since that day and even to this day, I spent all my life roaming around the darkness for nothing. I have no idea when it will stop. But however, within the darkness..." said Sasuke to himself.
