"WHAT?!!" She called back.

"WILL YOU PLEASE COME DOWN HERE?" She sighted. The only thing she wanted right now was to be alone with her thoughts.

"What is it?" She asked when she stepped inside the big livingroom.

"Iruka just called." Great. She rolled her eyes mentally. "He said that there were problems with you again." He looked at Sakura, expecting her to say something. When she did not, he continiued: "I talked with an old friend of mine earlier. She has just opened a pensionate for problematic teenagers. I don't know if you would like it, but it seems like you don't like your current school anymore, so maybe that would be a possibility?"

Sakura looked at her father. A pensionate for problematic teenagers? Guess she was one of those now... but a pensionate?

"Uhm.." she started, not sure what to say.

"I know this is difficult for you, Sakura. But you can at least try to think about it. It's far away from here and there's a dozens of schools to choose among! You are the heir to Haruno A/S so you have to get a good education!" He looked intensly at the teen in front of him. She'd gotten much thinner in the past months, he noticed. Now that he looked at her, he thought she looked sick. She was pale and had dark [poser] under her eyes. "Please, Sakura! You have to get a grip, look at yourself! You look sick. I don't know what have caused this." The pain in his voice was difficult not to hear. "But I can't and won't see it go on and on for every day!"

Sakura widened her eyes in shock. She hadn't seen her father this helpless before.

"I just want the best for you Sakura. You can go now, I have nothing more to say." He rose and walked over to the window, his back to her face. She stood there and stared at him for a moment before returning to her room.

"Geeeeh- teme, I'm bored."

Sasuke threw a bored look at his best friend before returning his gaze to the screen. They were hanging out, like so many other times, in Sasuke's comfortable bedroom.

"Geeeeh- teme, I'm bored" Naruto repeated, now looking at the Uchiha. Sasuke sighted and turned of the television. Naruto grinned. "Why don't we go annoy your stupid brother? It's been such a long time!" Sasuke rolled his eyes, but got up, anyway.

"Can we just go outside? I need to get away from this aweful smell."

"It ain't aweful! It's the best smell in the universe!"

"Whatever." Sasuke said and walked over to the window to open it. "Just remember the next time you eat ramen not to spill it all over my floor."

"It was an accident, I tell you, an accident! Why would I, Uzumaki Naruto, spill my beloved ramen on purpose?"

"To annoy me, I guess. Are you coming?" Sasuke was already at the door, an eyebrow perfectly raised, making his pale face look questioning.

"Yeah teme, I'm coming." Naruto sighed before jumping up. "Where to?"

"Just out." Sasuke turned his back to the room and began walking.

"Naruto grinned. "I'm out before you can blink, sucker!" He said in his high voice and racing out of the door, not waiting for Sasuke to reply. Sasuke just ro9lled his eyes.

"Wanna bet?" He murmured before running after Naruto.

They didn't stop before they reached the end of Sasuke's street. Sasuke came before Naruto by several seconds and were waiting with his arms crossed when the blonde finally catched up. "I let you win on purpose!" He exclaimed when he'd caught his breath after some seconds. Sasuke just raised his eyebrow, making Naruto swear. "Damn you teme!" Sasuke chuckled before beginning to walk, leaving Naruto behind. "Oi teme, wait!"

The walked without saying anything for awhile, looking at windows with non-interested gazes. After some time they sat down on a bench. "Geez," Naruto said. "I thought it would be more fun not having to go to school every day. But you know what? I kinda miss that old fat who called himself headmaster and teasing the teachers."

"Your problem was," Sasuke said "that you didn't just 'tease' them, but hide their things, screamed while they were trying to teach and ate during the lessons, too."

"To hell with that!" The blonde said, annoyed. "I was just saying that-" He suddenly stopped talking. Sasuke turned his head to his blonde friend, whom had, God know why, a page from a newspage stuck in his mouth. Sasuke raised his eyebrow for the third time that day while looking at his friend with a rather amused look. Why hadn't he thought of doing that before? Thinking of all those time when Naruto had been talking and screaming. If he'd known that simply putting something other that ramen into his mouth would stop him from rambling he would've done it a long time ago.

While those thoughts were going on inside his head, Naruto were growing red in his head. At first he was just a light shade of pink, but as the seconds ticked by he grew redder. At last Sasuke decided that it was time to save his friend before he died from the air loss, and removed the paper. By the time Naruto had gotten back his normal colour in the face, Sasuke was already absorbed in reading the (half wet) page. He looked up at Naruto, who were looking questionable at him, and smirked. He gave Naruto the page and pointed at a little annouce in the buttomn of the page, signaling for Naruto to read aloud.

"The wellknown author that goes under the name Tsunade, who have written the series about problematic teens has opened a pensionate for said teens. The first year she'll be testing a smaller group of teens to see, if she'll be able to help them in getting a proper education." He was about to read more, but Sasuke signaled to him to stop.

"My mother knows her. I don't know, but it seems like the only chance we've left if we want to get a 'proper education', don't you think?"


Well, this was only the first part of chapter two n___n I don't have more time to write and needed to get this out before the new year, yes.

Sorry for possibly mistakes. Please review and tell me what you think.

Thanks.
