Here it comes……I don't own Naruto!!!!!!!!!! Surprise surprise

……………………………

"What the hell is wrong with you man! You could have given us away back there."

Sasuke heard the torrent of words and spun round. Sakura had hold of his arm and her mouth was inches away from his ear. He realised although it has sounded like shouting it had in fact been a whisper.

That was one of the things they had thought them.

"HEY Sakura" said Sasuke "get your face away from my ear its annoying!"

"Awww is the great Sasuke ticklish, how sweet"

"I'm not frikkin ticklish, and don't freak out they (their friends) couldn't have caught on they are a bunch of dim wits! With the combined brain of a infant hedgehog"

"They aren't completely stupid, just not as perspective as we are." Said Sakura

Being perceptive was also very important to them.

"Yeh I can think of one who completely lacks the scene to be even the remotest bit perceptive!" said Sasuke with a small smirk on his face.

"Now, now Sasuke Naruto can't help that he's a bit lacking in sence. He just needs a bit of help. Maybe a nudge in the right direction"

"I don't think they would appreciate us passing on their secrets to unskilled people." said Sasuke sharply

"I wasn't suggesting we pass on their secrets, so slow down boy." Said Sakura mildly.

"Yeh, yeh whatever we were chosen because we had some sense to begin with don't go throwing away your common sense on anyone who lacks even the intelligence to understand it them selves"

"Fine I wont help them, but I still have to help you remember that was my assignment. I committed first so I'm in charge not you Sasuke! ... Oh yeh you really must be more careful around everyone"

"Hn whatever. Will you let go of my arm now? People will get suspicious, remember we aren't supposed to be on speaking terms at school, we have to be just as we were at the begging of the summer."

"Ok just be more careful… Oh yeh this convocation never happened. Got it. Chou"

"Au revoir mademoiselle"

Sakura chuckled at his use of French.

Another thing they had taught them. You had to be proficient in at least 5 languages! And that meant at least they preferred about 7.

"Goodbye Sasuke" she said in perfect Swahili.

"Hey now your just showing off"

"Whatever, I'm going to class cya."

"Hn"

…………………………….

Before their first class.

…………………………….

"Hey Sakura where you been all morning"

"Come on Tenten don't exaggerate I was gone for like an hour!!"

"Well whatever it felt like a whole morning left alone with these guys"

"Aw I thought you would have appreciated the time with Neji" Sasuke chimed in.

"Wow wait up when did you get hear, I thought you had gotten bored already and gone home"

"Yeh like last year" said Naruto a bit too loudly.

In seconds he found himself flat on the floor with Sasuke a dead weight on his back, Also Sasuke had also managed to twist his arm round his back, which hurt enough to make Naruto wince.

"Hey man calm down he was just telling it like it is, you did ditch the first day of school within the hour last year."

"Neji's right" came the muffled voice of Naruto from below Sasuke's bulk. Then "Owww"

"That's what you get dobe!"

DING DING DING

"That'll be the bell" came a familiar lazy drawl.

"Shika-kun, you did make it in time for class, that's amazing.

"Yes Ino I di…"

"Hey Ino did you just call Shikamaru Shika-kun."

"Erm maybe. There is nothing wrong with calling an old friend by a lovable nickname! Is there?

"Yeh nothing wrong if you want to have the mic taken out of you. But hey maybe that's what you intended. Who knows"?

"Yeh thanks Sasuke a valid comment, now SHUT THE HELL UP"

"Wow Ino calm down, he's just being himself, did you really expect to get away with that!" said Shikamaru sympathetically.

"I suppose not Shika, I'll try to be more careful."

The tone of her voice was not lost on her friends and the neither was the fact that she had called him by his 'lovable nickname again apparently subconsciously.

………………………

In class (a considerable time later, try and guess why!)

……………………….

"KAKASHI-SENSAI you are late again, explained!" shouted Naruto at his teacher.

"Well Naruto there is a perfectly good explanation for my lateness, if that is what you wish to call it. I was…."

The class hung on this conversation. What excuse would he come up with this time!

"….Well I was walking across town when a very beautiful lady came up to me and asked me to walk her to the garage to pick up her car because she was scared of the garage owner, and she knew he would over charge her so I went with her to garage to get her car but the owner said it wasn't finished yet, when I could clearly see her car in the back, so I pushed past him and saw that they had taken her car to pieces and they all had little price stickers on them, so I ran back to the man and made him fix the car and pay her back all her money. So that's why I'm late!"

"URHG" came the grown from most of the class.

"That's no excuse that's stupid, silly Kakashi your going soft in your old age!"

"32 is not old you baka"

"Hey Kakashi –sensei called me a baka NOT NICE"

Sorry to interrupt this little fight but Kakashi" Sasuke never called him sensei. "That is the first chapter of the latest come come paradise book!"

"What no it isn't. Hey wait aren't you too young to read these books! 18s only!"

"I think you have forgotten is that some of us turned 18 over the summer"

"Oh yes I was just joking" said Kakashi and smiled brightly. Only Sasuke and Sakura saw the fleeting pained expression and saw the words form with out a sound.

"Akatsuki, no "
