title: Top Girl
pairing: eventual SasuSaku.
dedication: To Hurrican Irene, for not being so serious in my area of NJ, but to those who have passed on during this hurricane. Also, to Kyuki-chan for being the first to favorite this and to .RAWR .SMiLe .CHoMP. for being the first to review.
notes: Updating any of my fanfic might take a while longer than I had intially thought. I could only get this chapter up because I had this written out on my blackberry, and I was able to sneak out one of the laptops. Mom's home cuz of surgery, so she won't let me on the computer for too long. Also, I got some summer work I got to finish, but I should be done with it fairly soon. But once school starts (Sept. 8), my workload will increase like crazy, and fanfic will not be on the top of my list anymore, but I love writing, so we'll see how long I can stay away from updating things during the school year.

Top Girl
He had left the little city of Konoha. It was years ago when that happened, but it was only just a couple of months—just two short months—when he returned to study at Konoha U. He had come back from Oto with high marks. Very high marks. And he could have finished his studies there if the governor Orochimaru hadn't died of a heart attack, leaving all those Yakuza clans to fight for power. When word got out about this, Konoha had immediately requested for Sasuke, the son of one of its most renowned families, to return home lest he got caught in an all-out civil war. Well . . . not much civil but more like gang wars.
Anyhow, in the two months he had been back, he had not tried to reconcile with anybody. Not even a single soul. He had left them with no good-bye, no words of farewell—it was only fair that he didn't give them a word of greetings either, right? He had only said good-bye—if that meeting in the middle of the night could even be called that—to one person and one person only, but he'd keep that a secret. Dead-Last would never let him live it down if he found out somebody else had gotten a good-bye when he hadn't even gotten the slightest of "hn's."
Nevertheless, when he had returned, Sasuke hadn't been surprised when it was Naruto—of course, Naruto would have found out about his return. His father was governor of Konoha, after all—who had first greeted him. And with a punch to the face, no less. (Sasuke still hadn't gotten back at him for that just yet.)
And other than the ramen-loving idiot, the Uchiha had not tried to reconnect with anybody else from his life in Konoha, not even his own family.
It wasn't like he was trying to avoid them. He wasn't trying to avoid anyone. Or at least, that's what he told himself. But when Naruto had dragged him to the entrance of some club, Sasuke could only ignore the horrible feeling rising in the pit of his stomach. This would definitely put a damper on his plans of keeping his return a closed secret.
