This is Important to know!
Okay, before I start to translate the second chapter (which is more or less 8 pages), I have to explain something my O-neechan and I forgot to in the story; this is the school system. There are different power Classes.
There are 6 in total:
Kiken Gakunen: Dangerous Class (four pointed Star)-- Rare Class
Youso Gakunen: Element Class (elemental circle with fire, wind water and earth signs)
Tatakai Gakunen: Fighting Class (fist)
Bijutsu Gakunen: Arts Class (paint drop)
Yuurei Gakunen: Ghost Class (ghost)
Tokubetsu Gakunen: Special Class (eye)
If Any of you know Gakuen Alice, (Alice Academy), then you'll find this easier to understand. Remember what Gai-sensei said? Everyone has powers, but these are sorted into the groups listed above. To find out what group who of the 10 main characters is sorted into, you'll have to read on.
ANOTHER important thing is though: there are different levels of each class, like when you're expert or beginner….etc, these are the following:
Tenichi: Beginners (red)
Tenji: Average (yellow)
Tensan: Middle (green)
Tenyo: Expert (blue)
Tentsu: Special. (dark blue) -- Rare Group
And how to find out, which class a person is in, or what level they're on they have badges and different coloured scarf/ties.
The Things written in brackets next to the Classes and the levels are what colour either their tie/scarf has, or what the badge of the class looks like.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything. If it's still confusing, just tell me and I'll try improve.
Oh and, there are two people per bedroom. The pairings we've chosen are random. We actually wrote down all their names and picked each one name out from a hat. Those two people would then share a bedroom. We split boys from girls, duuh ;-P And because we had two people over, we had to give them bedroom comrades that aren't main characters!
Don't worry, once you get going you'll know everything. I'll translate all the Japanese words, even if they appear millions of times, just so you don't have to scroll up again lol!
Anyway, after this explanation, ENJOY!
Chapter 2: The New Life Starts here
Sakura placed her hand behind her right ear, to try and hear the voices of the strangers better.
"No buts!" Roared a deep and snake like voice, "If you try go against me and misbehave, then I'll punish you severely!"
The little person groaned, "Last time I just made it back, I could've ended captured, what if I-"
"Shut it! It's unimportant!"
The bigger person stretched an arm and grasped through the other person's stomach, who immediately started screaming.
Sakura's eyes widened as she tried to bite back a cry, but still, a silent tone echoed through the room that came from her throat.
"What was that!?" Suddenly the taller guy shone in the sunlight.
His skin was snow white and his eyes amber. Purple stripes pointed from the edges of his pools as he glared around. He had long, ebony hair ending somewhere near the middle of his back.
Sakura felt his gaze lingering on her skin.
For being frightened and irritated, the pink haired girl ran away; down some stairs and along a corridor.
She landed at another dead end, only the boys and girls toilet either side.
Slowly did she slide to the ground, burying her face into her knees which she pulled closer.
"This place is awful!" She roared in agony, "I want to go home…"
She twitched as she sat unmoved in the corner, crying.
"Hey, is everything alright?" Called a high pitched voice.
Sakura pushed her head up to look at the person in front of her. Her emerald pools met baby blue ones of a girl. And exactly that girl, whom she met this morning.
Sakura sniffed.
"Did something happen?" She now asked.
"No…" The pink head stood up, rubbing her eyes and gazing around. Only now did she notice that she had forgotten her bags in Gai's office.
"Shit…"
The blond haired girl looked around, "So there is something wrong?"
"Oh, it's just I left my bags in the Office of Gai-sensei…"
"And that's your explanation for crying?"
"No…. I just want to run away from here…"
"Many say the same thing. My name is Yamanaka Ino, and I guess you're Haruno Sakura-san, correct?"
She nodded.
"Well then, I'll lead you to Tsunade, if you want."
"Okay… I need to go there anyways."
And Ino bought her to the Headmaster's office.
She knocked lightly at the door, then entered.
"Ah, Haruno-san! There you are." Called the Headmaster in delight, "We have bought your bags and the other necessary utensils into your bedroom already. Yamanaka-san will show you the way to the sleeping saloons.
With that did they wander out of the main building and towards the school yard, off into the outbuilding and searching for Sakura's room.
Ino held the note, that Tsunade had given to her, in her right hand.
"The note says you're staying in room Kagami."
"Kagami (Mirror)?" (A/N: All room names were randomly chosen.)
"Yes, every bedroom here has a name, and every bedroom is used by two people. On this note it says you're sharing your room with a girl called Tenten."
"Do you know her…?"
"I'm new too…"
"I hope she's a nice person."
"Yeah, hopefully, my room comrade is the total opposite of friendly."
"Really?"
"Yes, she's a nerd; idiotic and arrogant."
"Sounds wonderfully interesting…" She commented with little sarcasm.
Ino just nodded, then led Sakura towards the room Kagami.
"Here we are! Well, good luck, Sakura-san!"
"Thanks a lot! Ja ne."
Ino went as Sakura quietly stumbled into the bedroom.
It was big and comfortable; a bed on either side of the dormitory, each having a wardrobe, cupboards, shelves and a desk. Next to each bed was a window having a view onto either the School lake or the forest.
The walls were relatively white, the floor being carpeted in blue.
Sakura guessed by the look of the right bed, which had a red duvet, stuff in the shelves and clothes around too, that her sleeping area was to the left of the room.
There too stood her luggage, handbag, some papers on the bed, a strange bag and clothes on the bed.
She walked towards it, looked around, then decided to pick up the note stuck to the stack of papers. (A/N: Too many notes for my taste ôo…)
"Go rest for the day. Here are your school Schedule, maps of the school itself and the surrounding, your bag with the necessary books and your school uniform with badge.
P.S: You can go look around if you want. Your dormitory comrade wont be back till 16:00 or later."
Sakura glanced at her watch; it was 15:00 right now.
She then picked up some papers from the stack; her schedule also being there. Some lessons such as Tenichi Youso Class Room 12 (Beginners class, Elemental room) were too much for her understanding.
Now she investigated her school uniform. It was a white blouse with a black folded skirt. Adding to that was a dark jumper and tights for winter.
Her badge was neatly represented to the right of her blouse; A circle split into four: each picture having either a green flower, red flame, blue water drop or purple tornado on it. A red scarf was next to the badge: she would most likely have to tie it around her blouse collar. (She's a Beginner of the Youso/Elemental class).
"I'd rather off hang myself up with this if it were to be long enough…" She murmured.
Sakura had questioned herself, if it was allowed to decline the school uniform on the first day. But not wanting to stand out immediately, she decided otherwise and wore it.
She lastly pulled up her right sock and then jumped onto her feet, glancing over her shoulder.
I got to quickly unpack all my stuff… She thought, thinking that only then she'd at least have a little part of 'home' in this hell names school.
Sakura finally left the room to go peak around.
The school corridor walls were painted in a pale yellow, every ten metres or so having a pin board on the wall, showing the newest events coming up.
Sakura checked the newest activities. They were sorted out by dates and by trips and stuff coming up in school itself. Next thing up was the trip to the amusement park. This was available for all students, and meant so newbie kids could make friends faster.
She noticed the event would already take place tomorrow. Should she go too? Why not! After all it was a possibility to come out of this school, which she already hated.
She grabbed the biro connected to the pin board and scribbled her name on the piece of paper attached. Quickly running over the names, she noticed three known ones: Uzumaki Naruto, Yamanaka Ino and Tenten, her new room comrade.
Feeling a little better, the pink haired girl continued her tour through the school, marching along the corridors right and left, leading to many many doors. Curiously, she read all of the names of the rooms.
At the moment, her favourite name was "Hanabi" (Firework), it sounded so nice and known.
In her past, Sakura and her family used to hold little private fireworks near their house.
An arrow hit her somewhere near the heart region; oh how she missed her home already!
She stumbled on in the long corridors and sleeping areas.
Another name got her attention, 'Sango' (coral). It too was a beautiful name in Sakura's opinion.
Right at that moment, the pink haired girl asked herself, if the dormitories of the boys and girls were split or mixed.
Being busy with that question and not quite paying attention to her surrounding, the door in front of her jerked open.
She gazed at black, spiky hair.
"Got to go, he's got something for me to do again…." Said the boy who owned the woozy hair.
"Again!? Damn, boy, don't get too deeply involved with his absurd plans. You know that anything could happen anytime. It'll most likely be dangerous." Called another voice from inside the room.
"And you take care to not overdo it with your worry for me." Was the cold answer back from the boy in front of the emerald eyed girl, who just turned to face her.
As he noticed the pink head, he froze on the spot and narrowed his eyes.
Seeing this, Sakura immediately took a few paces away from him. At the same moment the boy shut the door behind him and stepped towards her.
"You can't stop the eavesdropping, can you." It was a rhetorical question, his voice holding the same icy tone that can be found in his onyx eyes.
Sakura had asked herself, why his voice sounded familiar.
Then he stretched out his hand and touched the badge on her blouse.
"Aha, you're a Youso-student, and a beginner too. Well then, you better grow with your little plants, or you'll never be accepted here." He smiled, but it wasn't a truthful smile, but a fake one, too more of a smirk.
A few seconds later and the stranger was gone behind a corner.
Sakura's heart pounded like wild, and she clenched her fists. If this guy would ever walk passed her once more, then she wouldn't just stand there dumbfounded. No, she would tell this guy her opinion. This guy who's badge was a four cornered star….
With anger she marched on, till a question popped up in her head.
How does that guy even know I can let plants grow!? I mean, Gai-sensei said every power is individual, so how come this one knows about them. It's not like we've met before…is it.
Furiously did she storm back into her room.
"For god damn sake! How can a person cause so much chaos with just plants!?" Asked the blond girl with the four ponytails herself, "I'm not for nothing in the expert class of Youso (Elemental class) to do the cleaning up!"
She decided otherwise than going into her bedroom and went towards the Cafeteria.
"What's eating you?" Came it from a girl with brown hair tied up into two buns.
"It's just the annoying cleaning session in Gai-sensei's Office…"
"Oh, you mean the new one?"
"Yeah, well at least the conundrum she made."
Tenten twitched with her eyebrows, "Oy, aren't I'm becoming a newbie in the room? Maybe it's her?"
"Then how about go peek if she's there? I'd give anything to see her do that with the plants again…"
She nodded.
Silently they moved on towards Tenten's room.
"Did you tell anyone about the incidence?" Tenten asked as they clambered up some stairs.
"Yeah, only Neji who I met this morning."
Tenten flushed a little upon hearing the name, "Ah okay…"
A devilish smile crept on Temari's lips, "Aaaha, are we in love again?"
"N-No!"
"Sure, how could I possibly think about that!" Did she encounter with sarcasm in her voice.
They reached the room 'Kagami' (Mirror) and entered.
Tenten glanced from right to left, "Hmmm, she must've left some time ago…"
"Have you got any idea what she looks like?"
"You could've asked Gai-sensei!"
"I'm not that curious!"
"Well lets see if someone's toddling around, looking lost."
"It seems you're hundred per cent-ly sure she'll get lost."
"Of course I am! Every newbie does." She giggled.
They strolled back through the corridor and along the staircase, gazing around.
"Say, Temari-chan, have you already registered yourself for the Theme Park tomorrow?" Tenten questioned as she saw the pin board on the wall with the register on.
"Errrm, yes…, why?" Temari grasped the attached pen and scribbled her name onto the piece of paper.
"So no…" The brown haired girl murmured.
"Well, now I have!" Temari grinned as she over flew the other names on the list.
"Who on earth is 'Haruno Sakura'?"
"Probably a new one."
As they gazed at the lists, Sasuke marched around the corner and towards them.
"What are you doing there?" He asked annoyingly, noticing his way through the corridor was blocked by them two.
Tenten lost her smile, "Just gaping at the lists here, what else does it look like?"
"It looks like you're blocking my way! Move now!" And he pushed through them.
"There's enough space here, you know." Temari grumbled.
"Not if you stand there like fat elephants."
Tenten smirked, "Aren't you going to the theme park too, Sasuke?"
"Why would I visit such a place?"
"Well, to have fun maybe?" If you know what that word means, she added mentally.
"Pfft, I need an actual reason to go there…" With that he wandered off.
Both Tenten and Temari shook their heads, as they watched him pace away.
"He's just too lonely too often. That's why he built this rejecting character." Temari stated scornfully.
"But he's sharing his room with Neji!" Tenten protested, "He's a very good listener, and Sasuke could tell him all his problems."
Temari giggled and caressed Tenten's shoulder, "I'm not speaking about his outside loneliness. He's as good as always surrounded by people. I mean his inside, he seems to let no one near him and hasn't thought about that either. I'll eat my fan if the Neji is going to tell us something about Sasuke's private life. Anyway, I need to go now. I've still got afternoon lessons." She rolled with her eyes, "See you, Ten-chan."
Tenten raised her hand as a sign of parting. She finally decided to stroll back to her room, as she hesitated and took another better glance at the lists. Twice did she search for the name 'Hyuuga Neji', but found nothing.
The brown eyed girl tried to ignore the fact that her stomach was turning by the thoughts of going to the amusement park without Neji.
But it wasn't abnormal wanting to have a very good friend around you when you're in a theme park, right?
She was just about to continue her way, as she saw a figure at the other end of the hallway.
Neji had raised an eyebrow upon seeing someone in front of the pin board. At this time people would be in lessons, the hallways being dead empty. Now that Sasuke had left their room, Neji would finally have the opportunity to confirm to the trip tomorrow – Sasuke would've made fun of him, if he'd known that Neji wanted to participate at the excursion.
As he neared the board, Neji reckoned the person to be Tenten who was somehow smiling delightedly.
"Hey," She greeted him, "Everything okay with you?"
He nodded. Right then did the brown haired boy notice, how much he missed his best friend, whom he hadn't seem for some days, nearly a week, because of the different classes they had. To add to that was that there had been Project week, which had stolen most of the student's free time.
"Yeah, everything alright here. Just a little stressy all the time, especially when having a moody Sasuke around, who you share your room with." Neji sighed.
"I'm having a new room comrade today. I hope she's nice…"
"Yeah, she'll have to, I mean, how can't someone be nice to you!"
He noticed how she quickly turned her head to the side in quandary, pushing a streak of her hair behind her ear.
"Well," She began, "So you're not going on the excursion tomorrow?"
"Yes I am, I came to enter right now." He immediately took the pen to write his name on the list.
"Would you like to meet up tomorrow at the buses and sit together with me?" She asked whilst looking at her watch.
"Sure." He answered, "I'd like to." He quickly added on.
"Good. I'll be going then. Promised Tsunade-sama to be in my room by four O'clock to greet the newbie. See you around." She uttered with a smile on her face as she left.
Neji gazed after her for a while, till he decided to return to his room as well, in his thoughts already in the bus the next day…
Tenten walked comfortably passed an edge. As she was assured, Neji was gone, she squealed.
He is coming too! She thought excitedly.
Slightly worried she sat on her bed, her eyes observing the surrounding outside through the window.
Sakura hoped her room comrade was a peaceful and friendly person. She had just finished that thought, as the door swung open.
Quietly did Tenten step inside.
"As I see, you're back." Tenten began.
Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"Well, my friend and I went looking if you were in the room already. But we noticed you must've been wandering around, for you weren't there."
"I was just trying to get used to my environment."
"Didn't get lost?"
"Naa, there were plenty of school plans on the wall."
"True," Tenten stepped towards her, "I'm Tenten, and you?"
"Haruno Sakura."
"You seem to be a nice person, Haruno-san."
"Thanks, but please call me Sakura."
"Okay, Sakura-chan." Tenten smiled warmly.
She hesitated, "Shall I…help you unpack your stuff?"
Sakura shrugged, "If you don't mind."
"Sure. I'll help."
So Tenten helped Sakura to decorate her part of the room, so it looked like a piece of Sakura's home.
"Hai, Orochimaru-sensei?" Said the ebony haired boy, as he entered the room of his Sensei.
"I want you to go to the theme park tomorrow."
"What! Why that?!"
"Don't worry, it's not a holiday, you're still on a mission."
"What should I do there? You want to send me to hell or something?"
"You pessimistic person, no! Don't talk shit. I want to know which teacher has got it!"
"Got what?"
"The talisman!"
"Wouldn't that be Tsunade?"
"Wouldn't make a difference hiding it with another teacher."
"What's so special about that talisman?"
"That isn't of importance right now. You're going on the trip to find out who it has! Understood?"
"Understood…"
Sasuke left the room, returning to the pin board and entering his name as he sighed. Lastly did he return to his room.
He opened the door, slumping himself onto the dark blue bed with the weird red and white fan.
"What did he want?" Came Neji's voice.
"Nothing special." He sat up, seeing Neji throw some clothes out of his wardrobe, "What you searching for?"
"Erm…nothing special?"
"Tell…" His voice went icier.
"I'm….searching for a T-shirt, I believe to of have lost, that's all."
Sasuke doubted this, ignored Neji though and lay his head onto his hands.
Yay, I've completed the translation on this chapter :D
It took some time "sighs" Well well, I think now you people should be able to guess who the two figures were Sakura saw to the end of last chapter and the beginning of this chapter.
Yes, Sakura has met Sasuke, and, so it seems, has already lost her interest. Don't forget, before the actual pairings come up, other pairings will occur! Be aware for Sasuke having a girlfriend that ISN'T named Sakura. Though no need to worry, they'll end up together anyways ;-)
Next chapter will be fun
Please, PLEASE review! It really helps me to translate those chapters if I know there are people who like them ...
Especially because the latest paragraphs I wrote with my O-neechan were VERY sad and sweet.
So I'll be expecting some reviews :D
Ja ne
