A/N: Chapter two, my peeps. NaruIno won the poll, but there'll be some LeeIno cuz there's not enough of it out there.
Dammit Chouji.
The group fell silent as they all turned their attention to Ino. Sasuke, after their morning kiss, had put his arm around her shoulders, but he now removed it and stood amongst the rest of her friends.
There was no way she could get out of this now, so she began to tell them the story of the night before.
"So, I didn't want to do community service. I ended up choosing this after school program where some woman talks to us for a while and we all try to become better people," Ino said, as if stealing was something that she did everyday. Her friends all stared at her, wide eyed with their jaws on the floor.
Save for Sasuke, who only looked icy cold as he walked back up to her and stared directly into her eyes. "It's over," he said.
"Wh-what?"
"It's over, Ino. I'm not dating any criminal. You can find yourself a boyfriend who likes that or a girlfriend, maybe that's your style now, but you won't ever be dating me," Sasuke said, before turning and walking down the hallway.
Ino wanted to slap him, but he was already gone. Besides, she would have been too busy crying anyway. She turned to her friends for comfort, but they were too curious about what Chouji had spilled.
"Why, Ino?" Sakura asked. "You never seemed like that kind of girl. You're smart, you're talented, you're rich, you're almost as pretty as me. Why did you do it?"
"Okay, forehead, I'm ten times prettier than you."
"You never answered me! Why the hell did you do this?" the pinkette asked, glaring at Ino.
Ino turned away and ignored Sakura.
"I'm going to class," she said and left her baffled friends behind.
~X~
The school day went by much to fast in the blonde's opinion, but she soon found herself driving to After School Program For Trouble Making Teens. Yes, that was actually the name.
When she entered the room, she saw a lot more people than she expected. So, she wasn't the only trouble making teen.
Off in a corner, there were a few boys. One had spiky blonde hair and blue eyes, and wore an energetic grin. Another had messy brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, and when he smiled, Ino could see that his canines (A/N: they're teeth, canines as in dogs got the name from them) were longer than a normal person's. The last one was also a brunette with deep brown eyes and messy hair, but he wore a black hat over it.
Then there were a few girls grouped together, a brunette with her hair in two buns and brown eyes, a blonde with teal eyes and her hair in four ponytails, and a redhead with glasses.
Standing in a group of three, there was a boy with spiky black hair and dark eyes, a boy with brown hair (A/N: It says so on Absolutely Anime, without the bandages), and a girl with black hair and black eyes. (A/N: And, as said on Absolute Anime, it turns out Kin and I share a birthday)
Finally, there was a group larger than the rest that seemed a bit creepy. There was a redhead with multiple piercings, a blunette girl with a flower in her hair, a boy who bore a striking resemblance to Sasuke with long black hair in a ponytail and onyx eyes, a boy with spiky blue hair, a boy who was rather feminine with long blonde hair and gray-blue eyes, a redheaded boy with red eyes, a boy with white hair and violet eyes, a boy with dark brown hair and green eyes, and a boy with green hair and yellow eyes.
Ino glanced around before sitting down by herself. Almost immediately, the group of girls surrounded her.
"So, what'd you do?" the blonde asked.
"Oh, I tried to steal something," replied Ino.
"Oh, haven't we all, I don't think you'll be here long," the redhead said to her. "By the way, my name's Karin."
"I'm Tenten and the other girl's Temari," the brunette said.
"Yamanaka Ino."
"No freaking way," said Temari. "You mean you're that rich girl who goes to Konoha Academy?"
"Yeah, and?" Ino asked.
"Well, what's someone as loaded as you doing trying to steal something?" Temari asked.
Again, Ino ignored the question.
"We all go to Konoha High, not the little fancy rich school," Karin said. "Well, all of us except for them." She gestured to the large group. "They all go to Akatsuki School. You know, that place where you get sent if you're really bad? They've done so much that they're here until they're eighteen, which isn't far off for most of them."
"I think that Hidan is eighteen in two days," Tenten said. "He's the white haired one."
Suddenly, the door opened and a woman of about 25 walked in. her almost black hair was tied up in a ponytail and there was an enthusiastic gleam in her brown eyes which were behind a pair of wire frame glasses.
"Alright, guys, as you can see, we have a new girl joining us today, her name's Yamanaka Ino and I'm sure you'll all get along with her," the woman said.
She walked over to Ino and smiled. "My name's Hikari. Now, I'm sure you're thinking, how did I get here? Can I ever turn my life around? But don't worry, people DO manage to change all the time, I see it a lot. And you're still young, you have your whole life ahead of you. You can become someone else, and I promise that I'll help you through it."
Ino nodded. She seemed nice, a little eccentric, but nice.
"When I was you age, I suddenly decided to prove myself. I was tired of being the enthusiastic good student with glasses and a nice smile because I just got my braces off. I was sent here and a woman turned my life around completely. That's why I decided to work here, so that I could help people too."
Hikari had a look of nostalgia on her face for a few minutes before walking to the front of the room. "Everyone needs to sit down and we'll get started."
A/N: I'm the person in charge! WOOHOO! I dunno, I can't do a chapter fic without incorporating an OC somewhere. Anyway, you're not going to see much of the Akatsuki, except for Deidara cuz he's with Temari and some Itachi. I'm horrible at writing as them, so I'm going to avoid them like the plague.
