Disclaimers: I don't own Naruto but Gamakichi is based on the school of an Original RPG on live journal created and owned by my sister and me.
Notes: Shikamaru and Chouji meet their strange classmates and crazy classrooms as they start their first days at high school. If you don't know what at gakuran is it's a Japanese boys uniform. Think Yuusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho.
This is in no way canon but you should have figured out that by now from the AU setting. Since its not some of the ages will be different mainly for me to get more characters in and actually have a few more for the teams. So expect to see some high school aged Chunin and Jonin.

Chapter 1: Strange Surroundings
.
Shikamaru was forced to get up early his mom wasn't going to let him be late for his first day at Konoha Academy. No, he was told to make a good impression that she was expecting great things from him.
.
As he left his house he noted the absence of Chouji, he was used to the two of them always walking to school together but he would just have to get over it. To make it all the way to his school he would have to ride the train and he sadly noticed that he would have to get up earlier then he normally would have had too. Shika also noted that he hated the train ride as he was squished between people on the crowed vessel.
.
The stop was pretty much right in front of the school so he didn't have to do much walking from there. He held his bag over his right shoulder as he casually approached the school gates, he could see the rush of students around him some heading off to the left were the University sat while the rest headed forward where the huge High School loomed in the distance.
.
There were a few teachers directing the students to stand outside the doors for the introduction ceremony and Shika was pushed forward with the hull of students and stopped to wait. He glanced down at the papers he was sent and looked at his room number trying to memorize it. "Class 1-C." he said quietly when he noticed everyone else around him growing silent, as he glanced up and noticed a man stepping over to a podium to the right of the schools doors.
.
"Silence please." He said with disgust as Shikamaru took in his appearance. The man was very pale with long black hair, his slanted eyes gave off a cold hatred that seemed to be directed at everyone. He wore a pale Yukata with a purple sash tied around his waist.
.
"For those of you that are new here at Konoha Academy I am Dean Orochimaru. We strive for an advanced and sophisticated educational system here so we have strict rules that you are required to follow. Those that choose not too will answer to me personally. You all have been sent our handbook were the rules are listed and I will not be wasting my time going over it with you. I am quite certain you are all smart enough to be able to read." He grinned.
.
"The only thing you need to keep in mind is that it is mandatory to keep a GPA of at least a 3.5 to stay here and a 4.0 or higher to win our scholarship to the university. Only one student managed to snag it last year and that was Uchiha Itachi. The rest even though their grades qualified them their actions did not, they didn't follow the rules, keep that in mind as well." Orochimaru closed his eyes and rubbed his head like he was getting a headache.
.
"I would also like to encourage the students to try out for a least one club or a sport, preferably joining our excellent basketball team for all of those that are talented enough. Konoha prefers winners here rather then losers. There is no need for losers and those will be dealt with harshly." His eyes took on its evil glint again.
.
"Now for some good news I have chosen the third year that will be the student body president this year. We will no longer vote because I detested having to deal with last year's moron, Pein. I am happy to say he chose not to attend our fine University."
.
"So the new President will be the fine student Kabuto Yakushi who held the most achievements last year. His first duty will to be collecting the names of the students chosen for your homeroom's class representatives that you will be selecting for your homerooms."
.
Orochimaru grinned. "I hope you all enjoy it here at Konoha Academy now you are all dismissed, please head to your homerooms."

Shikamaru was relieved as he went in, changed his shoes, then proceeded to try and find his room. Finding the door rather easily he headed in and noticed a few students were already there.
.
The most noticeable was a guy sitting near the back with his elbows on his desk and hand clamped in front of his face hiding his mouth. He gave a glare in Shika's direction before ignoring him all together again.
.
As Shika started to head in the room his was almost knocked over as a girl with pink hair almost bowled over him. She ran to the boy in the back of the class, yanking a girl down heading for the seat next to the scowling, before claiming it herself.
.
"Sasuke-kun" she purred. "Oh my goodness, this is such a surprise! Do you remember me, Sakura Haruno? We were in the same class last year in middle school. It must be fate, us going to the same high school wouldn't you say!" She gushed as Sasuke slowly looked over and frowned.
.
"Not really, if you were stalking me right, wouldn't you agree?" With that he moved over to the corner desk in the back as Sakura looked gloomy.
.
Shikamaru took a seat in the middle and watched as a few more students entered. The next was a boy with longer hair then his he had pale sad eyes and was followed by a hyper girl with her hair pulled in two buns atop her head.
.
"Hyuuga-san where shall we sit?" she asked as he took a chair near the door ignoring her. "I can't wait for basketball season." She continued. "It is a shame I can only play the girls team, are you playing again this year?"
.
He didn't answer only glared at the girl that entered next. Her shy eyes looked around before noticing him and giving a soft smile. "Neji niisan we are in the same class." She said with excitement.
.
Neji's glare hardened as he said, "Hinata, I am surprised someone as weak as you made it in. I surely thought you wouldn't make it past the exam cousin." He grinned as she brought her head down and walked away silently, taking a seat on the opposite end of the room.
.
As the rest of the students got there and took seats Shikamaru looked for his teacher but they weren't there yet. He wondered where they could be the bell was ringing and class should be starting.

.
Forty minutes later and the teacher still wasn't there. Homeroom was almost over; it would be in five more minutes. The door opened finally as a man with a white surgical mask over his face entered. His silver hair stood from the top of his head and he seemed engrossed in a book he was reading as he walked into the room in a slouched lazy position. He stopped and checked out the class before grabbing some chalk and writing his name on the bored.
.
"Hello class my name is Hatake Kakashi and I will be your homeroom teacher. I will also be teaching your PE, English, Writing Composition and Japanese Literature classes. I will also be coaching the boys' basketball team this year, try outs will start as early as next week. It will be fun getting to know all of you! Now do any of you have any questions for me?" he asked as his eyes squinted and Shikamaru was given the impression that he was smiling.
.
Sakura was the first to speak, "Yeah, why were you forty minutes late? Class is almost over!" she yelled.
.
Kakashi scratched the back of his head. "Uh well you see…" he started but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening again. He looked over as another older man entered with dark brown hair and facial hair stepped in.
.
"I would like to answer your question but I can't since my time is up. See ya." He waved as he skipped out. The new man watched Kakashi leave with a weird expression before he stepped into the classroom as well.
.
"Greetings class the name's Sarutobi Asuma, please just call me Asuma. I come here to teach you a few classes since you are required to have eight subjects not including your homeroom. I will teach your History, Pre calculus, Anatomy, and the 'oh so fun' Economics class. I also help run the Shogi club after school so please check us out."
.
Asuma put his books down on the desk and moved to the piles of books on the floor and noted that Kakashi had yet to pass out his own text books, like usual.
.
"Since this school is more advanced be prepared to jump right in on the harder topics in these subjects." He said as he grabbed the books and began to hand them out himself.
.
"First though, I would like us all to get to know each a little better, so how about we start by talking for a bit. I'll also have a game for everyone; the first one that beats me in a game of Shogi will be excused from homework for the next three weeks I'll even give you a week to keep trying if you can't do it today." He moved back to the front of the room.
.
"Do I have any challengers?" he asked with a knowing grin, no one ever beats Asuma at Shogi.

Chouji walked past the rusted chain fence that surrounded his new school. He reached the stone gate and looked up at the eroded sign that hung above 'Gamakichi High'. Chouji walked through and headed towards the broken down, graffiti ridden building, he couldn't recall it looking this bad before. Rather then dwelling on it he continues on, trying to swallow the anxiety rising inside him. He adjusted his black gakuran a bit making sure the jacket was just right before entering.
.
The halls inside the school were quiet since most of the students were already in their classes. Chouji's cold had developed into pneumonia making him miss the first week of school, he was told to go in for a meeting with the headmaster when he was able to return. Approaching the office he noticed the door was slightly ajar and wondered if he still needed to knock when the sound of yelling stopped him in his tracks. Curious he pushed the door open more to get a peek of what was going on in the inside of the room.
.
"You bitch! You promised me Tsunade, you can't go back on your word now." Chouji made out the appearance of a tall man with a mane of long white hair standing in front of a desk. He was the one currently yelling.
.
"SIT DOWN Jiraiya and listen to me for once." Said the voice at the desk and when Jiraiya did sit down Chouji saw his headmaster for the first time. It wasn't a master at all but a mistress and it was way more then obvious. Her well endowed chest was barely contained in her white shirt. Tsunade leaned forward and smiled her long ponytails shook in her silent laughter.
.
"Jiraiya I made you no promises if you can recall. We had a bet and you didn't hold up your end. Game over, you lose." Jiraiya shifted in his chair.
.
"Why is it so important to you that you transfer to Kunoichi High, its still teaching all the same?" Jiraiya jumped up at this.
.
"That's where you are wrong though, Kunoichi High is much more then a school. It's an all GIRL school." Jiraiya emphasized. "All young newly developed high school girls just ripe for the picking, in their mini skirts, tight shirts showing off those young bosoms. Not to mention those glorious PE uniforms. With no men around and all those hormones rushing and no one else to turn to for help then their teacher. I can just hear it now."
.
Jiraiya was practically drooling at this point. "Oh Jiraiya sensei you are so strong handsome and smart. Would you please, please help me sensei." He said in an over girly voice as Chouji looked on in shock at this perverts speech.
.
"You're sick Jiraiya. I should report you on that kind of crap." Tsunade said as Jiraiya sat back down with a pout.
.
"You offend me Tsunade; my intentions aren't bad, it will all merely be research for my novels. I don't intend on harassing any of the young lambs." Jiraiya boosted as he lit his long pipe.
.
"Correct me if I am wrong but just how did I lose that bet? I believe I did very well." He bragged.
.
"The bet clearly said you had to take charge of the worst homeroom in this school, class 1-E. You were to change at least two students so they move on to the next year with a grade over a 'C' average, clean drug screen, no criminal record or disciplinary problems for the year, right?" She paused and Jiraiya nodded.
.
"Now last year your class held thirty two students. Eight were expelled, two didn't make the grade cut, four were held back, fourteen failed the drug screen and one jumped from the school roof." Jiraiya frowned.
.
"True but I only had to change two and you are still forgetting three, Zaku, Dosu and Kin. I worked hard on those three."
.
Tsunade smiled. "Yes I remember them. The soundly trio, I was just about to get to them. They had quite the summer let's start with Kin shall we? She is now pregnant and living with her twenty three year old boyfriend she won't be coming back to school. Dosu got in a bad fight on the streets, pulled a knife on the kid and killed him. He is now in a detention center and also won't be coming back." Jiraiya winced.
.
"And Zaku?" he asked. Tsunade looked him in the eyes. "He's dead. He died of a heroin overdose in a crack house alone after running away from his foster family. He can't come back and I believe that was included in the bet. I won and you owe me five grand."
.
"It's wrong Tsunade to make money off of your students. You know I can't pay that, I don't have the money. Can't we work something out?" Jiraiya sounded desperate.
.
"I can do something for you Jiraiya," Tsunade smirked, "Lets double it all or nothing. I heard the principle at Kunoichi High is retiring next year I'll help you get the job if you win. If you don't I get my five grand and you have to stay here at Gamakichi without anymore bitching. Only I want five students rather then two the same conditions apply as last time, deal?"
.
She held out her hand, Jiraiya thought about it for a bit and then took her hand. "Deal!" He said as they shook on it.
.
Tsunade smiled. "Good now get to your class you big oaf." Jiraiya got up and headed out not noticing Chouji as he passed.
.
Now more nervous than ever Chouji had to the urge to turn and run but before he could Tsunade was speaking again. "You can come in now Akamichi." Chouji silently prayed to himself before entering.
.
"Good to see you well, I will try not to keep you too long so let me get to it. Welcome to Gamakichi your class will be 1-E." Chouji's jaw dropped and Tsunade laughed.
.
"So you heard our conversation huh?" he nodded. "There is something you need to understand about this school. The government gives us money to provide free education for the kids in its foster care program; these kids come out of hard lifestyles. We also give opportunities for the kids that most schools would just turn down."
.
"Gamakichi is their second chance and possibly their last. To keep things easier for us we keep the worse of the worst together that is what 1-E is, and Jiraiya is good mentor, if he only tried harder, so to help I like to throw in a few wild cards. Students that could help them and show their peers something they never experienced before, people like you. That and all my other homerooms are full."
.
Tsunade smiled. "Now go to your class, I don't want to waste anymore of your time."
.
Chouji got up with a nod and left Tsuande's office missing her whispered words 'Good luck kid your going to need it'. He followed the hallway down and stopped at the door under the sign reading 1-E, looking in he saw Jiraiya in there reading aloud.
.
Chouji gave a soft knock catching Jiraiya's attention, he headed over and opened the door. "Ah you must be the newb Tsunade called me in about earlier! I've been waiting for ya! Come in and meet your class." Jiraiya began to pull Chouji in as he braced himself for the worst.

It was after lunch and Kakashi was already back but he stuck to reading his book while Asuma kept challenging students. So far he had defeated every student with little difficulty.
.
Shikamaru hadn't played him yet and Asuma was stuck in an ongoing game with Neji. They had been going for over two hours the longest game yet. It was close but Shika saw Neji's defeat eight moves ago and sure enough it happened.
.
"Close but not enough." Asuma bragged as he leaned back and puffed on the cigarette he was currently smoking, Shika was sure he wasn't allowed too but no one said anything and Kakashi didn't mind as he sat over in the corner reading what he discovered to be dirty books.
.
"Next!" he called giving Shikamaru a confident grin. Shika got up and took his seat on the other side of the board; he liked Shogi and was good at it. He would always try to get Chouji to play but his friend didn't like too cause he would lose the game pretty fast.
.
"How troublesome!" He sighed as he moved his first piece.

Chouji was led to the front of the room and he noticed everyone's attention fall onto him. The two that caught his attention the most was a kid that was wearing sun glasses in the class who was currently poking the boy next to him who was wearing his gakuran's jacket short and had distinctive red marks on his checks. The boy in glasses leaned over to whisper something to the other never taking his eyes off of Chouji as they both laughed.
.
"Listen up ingrates this is Akamichi Chouji he is going to be in your class." Jiraiya yelled getting everyone else's attention. No one greeted him and some went back to what they were doing before he entered, which as he noticed wasn't paying attention to Jiraiya.
.
"So does anyone have any questions for the new kid?" Jiraiya continued and Chouji was surprised to see the kid with the red markings raise his hand.
.
"Ya I do, you see my friend and I are having a little disagreement and maybe you can clear it up for us chubby. How much do you weigh exactly? I think its over 200 he only thinks it about 180." He and the kid with glasses started to laugh as well as most of the class as Chouji's face warmed in mortification.
.
Jiraiya was over by the kid in an instant staring him down. "Kiba! I would watch that smart tongue of yours or you will have a nice trip in the hall and unlike all of your previous schools I don't make you hold two buckets of water, I prefer rocks. You're not that funny to begin with so it's not going to be worth it."
.
The kid named Kiba glared back but held his tongue, he did manage to give Chouji a hateful glance before turning back to the kid in glasses.
.
Jiraiya headed back over to Chouji and gave him an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that. Anyway I am Jiraiya and I am your homeroom teacher. I will be covering your writing and Science classes as well as your second language class English, a fun class considering the students here can barely speak their own language. Go ahead and take the empty seat by Yamanaka Ino." Jiraiya said pointing to some blonde girl in front of Kiba, and Chouji moved to take the seat.
.
He sat his books down but before he could sit down the kid with the glasses kicked the desk forward knocking his books off.
.
"Sorry about that, my foot slipped." He said sarcastically before the kid in the desk in front of Chouji's jumped up.
.
"Damn' it Shino! That hurt, having a desk slammed into my fucking back you moron." The boy had blonde with spiked hair said as he turned and looked Shino over. The blond had a black ribbon tied around his head much like a headband. His jacket was longer than normal and unbuttoned showing off the bright orange shirt he was wearing under it. His cool blue eyes burned holes into Chouji as he shifted his gaze to him. Chouji's eyes were drawn to the three strange lines drawn on both boy's cheek wondering what they could mean.
.
"All right everyone calm down and sit down Uzumaki, NOW!" Jiraiya screamed as an eraser hit Uzumaki on the back of the head.
.
"We are going to finish this chapter before your next class no matter what. Now open your text books back up and listen." Jiraiya began to read out loud from the text book again as Uzumaki took his seat again. Chouji struggled with his books before settling himself and trying to find the page they were on.
.
The girl next to him, Ino a blond with her long hair pulled back in a ponytail, leaned over and flipped to the page for him Chouji looked up to thank her when she obviously looked him up and down and gave him a wink and a smile. Before sitting back in her own chair and painting her nails. Her sailor uniform covered in pins and accessories, something most school would never allow.
.
Was he just hit on! Chouji was stunned, he was made an ass of and almost killed just a bit ago, now he was getting checked out. He was more confused then ever and he missed Shikamaru, if they were at the same school he wouldn't have let half of this shit happen. Chouji wouldn't also feel as lost as he did now.

When Chouji went back to his book Ino turned around and gave Kiba a knowing smile and he grinned back. This one would be easy picking for them and they knew it. Kiba began scribbling on a piece of paper before handing her the make shift note. She would make her move during lunch and see where it goes from there. She nodded her head affirmative and went back to painting her nails and pretending she was listening.
