So, here is the other story. The high school ficWooo! I'm just gonna post the first chapter and I'll see which story is better. This one, His Secret, or Darkwatch (which is up and runnin Or I'll do both

I also want to thank all the people who gave suggestions of Band names and songs. It was much appreciated. )

This story is rated M! Yippee!

Language, violence, blood, abuse.

And I have a good reason this chapter is a little late. The school was on fire!!! Seriously, a garbage can full of woodchips started on fire from a spark flying inside it. So I waited outside with my instrument in 10 degree weather for a half an hour before we had to walk to the middle school. Lame.

Sakura and Naruto walked down the school hallways, heading towards their first hour class: Science. Sakura held her schedule in front of her face, observing it intently. "So, who is this Orochimaru guy anyway?"

"Ah, he a creeper. You don't do anything in his class except take notes. I guess it's better than homework." Naruto told.

"Is he mean?"

"Oh, yea. Big time."

Sakura sighed. "Great, just what I need."

Naruto laughed. "You'll get used to him, don't worry. Hey, there's Gaara!" Naruto ran ahead with Sakura behind, catching up to the red-head.

"Hey, Gaara. What class do you have first?" Naruto asked.

Gaara gave Sakura a glance before looking back at Naruto. He dug through his pockets and pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to him. Naruto grabbed it and quickly read it over. "Sweet, you're in all the same classes as Sakura and me."

Gaara tilted his head to the side. Naruto gave back his schedule. "Oh, right! You two haven't met. Gaara, this is Sakura. Sakura, Gaara." Naruto gestured to each person.

Sakura lifted her hand and waved. "Hey."

Gaara gave a little nod towards her, showing he was returning the gesture. "So, Gaara, my house tonight?"

He nodded. "M'kay. Hey, Sakura. You want to hand with us tonight?" Naruto questioned.

"I don't know. What do you all do?"

"Our band gets together and practice, hang out, and do all that stuff."

"Oh, that's cool. What's your band name?"

"Kaji Uindo. I play the drum set." Naruto smiled.

"What does everyone play?" She asked.

"Um, Kiba plays keyboard, Kankuro plays Bass, Gaara plays lead guitar and singer, and of course I play the drums."

"Wow, you sing and play guitar? That's pretty sweet." Sakura mentioned, facing Gaara..

Gaara nodded in reply. Sakura smiled and then faced Naruto again. "Anyway, I'll be there tonight, but I need a ride and I don't know where you live."

"Um, I'm sure my buddy Gaara here, will give you a ride." Naruto said, nudging Gaara in the side.

Sakura looked up at Gaara and noticed him glaring at Naruto. Whoa, never seen someone glare like that I bet he gets away with everything glaring like that. "You know, Naruto, he doesn't have to." Sakura spoke up.

"Well, since Mr. Icicle, here, won't say anything, I'm sure his sister will take you. Or maybe even his brother, but I wouldn't want to be alone with Kankuro." Naruto said.

"It's fine with me."

"Okay, let's get to Orochimaru's class before the bell."

"Okay, class, I have a seating arrangement for you."

Sakura sat in a seat by Naruto until she finally heard her name called. "Sakura Haruno, please take a seat next to Gaara."

Sakura nodded as she stood up and sat next Gaara. She smiled at him, but all he did was look away. Man, Naruto wasn't kidding. He's gonna be hard to crack.

"Okay, now I will go over the rules for this classroom."

Sakura put her head on the desk. It's only first hour and I already want the day to end. She decided to look around the room. To her surprise, Naruto was sitting in front of her, which she greatly appreciated. Most of the people she didn't know, but she did notice Sasuke sitting a few desks across from her. Sakura mentally shivered in her seat. She then looked at the outcast next to her. She didn't know why, but something about the guy made her want to get to know him.

His red hair hung loosely in his eyes, partially hiding the black rings that surrounded them. His head was resting on his arm, which was propped up on his desk. Sakura noticed he also wore a black wrist sleeve, and she thought looked nice on him.

The three of them sat in assigned seats in German class, and they all happened to be by each other. The bell didn't ring yet so Naruto was busy pestering Gaara. "Please, Gaara, tutor me for this class." Naruto begged as he put his hands together and held them out in front of his face.

Gaara sighed, closed his eyes, and shook his head. "Come on, Gaara! You speak German! You came from a German-speaking country for crying-out-loud! Why won't you help me?!"

"Wenn Sie mehr Aufmerksamkeit in Klasse bezahlen würden, würden Sie nicht versagen." Gaara mumbled.

Wow, he has a really nice voice. Sakura blushed at her own thoughts.

"What the hell does that mean?! Gaara . . . what did you say?"

Gaara just looked at Naruto with a humorous glint in his eyes. Sakura started to laugh. Naruto slouched in his desk with his arms crossed. Just then the teacher walked into the class. "Guten Morgan, Klasse. Ich heisse Herr Umino."

Naruto sat up and started to poke Gaara. "Pssst . . . Gaara."

Gaara looked at Naruto with annoyance in his eyes. "What did he say?"

He sighed as he closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "It means shut-up, Naruto."

Sakura looked to her side and saw a girl with dark brown hair pulled up into two buns. "Seriously?" Naruto asked.

"Seien Sie ruhig, Naruto!" Iruka yelled.

"Uh, sorry." He mumbled.

The three of them went into study hall. All of them sat next down by each other since the teacher didn't give assigned seats. "So, Gaara, we're still having a concert on Friday, right?"

Gaara nodded in reply. "You guys do concerts?!"

"Yeah, they're totally sweet!" Naruto shouted.

"I'll have to see if I'm doing anything this Friday, 'cause I might be able to go see you guys." Sakura smiled.

Naruto smiled. "So, Gaara, any ideas for songs we're gonna do? Or are you just going to tell us when you get there?"

Gaara shrugged.

Naruto sighed. "You know, it doesn't hurt to talk."

So there's chapter two. Sorry if it's kind of short, but eh, better than nothing. R&R!
