Dealing with an Uchiha
A/N: Hey guys! So I've been trying to write as much as I can with good timing. I want to be able to publish as many chapters as I can within Spring Break. But little did I know how much time this actually takes… O_o Now this chapter is titled I Hate You but I don't hate you guys! :P But you'll get the gist of this once you read it. The last chapter was short, but this one is actually really really really long, so… yeah. When I wrote it in Microsoft Word it was like 12 and a half pages – including the author's notes. But I hope you enjoy! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto... do I? :P
Chapter 2
I Hate You
"Kiba, let go of the damn idiot!" I yelled in horror as the car continued to drive towards us while we sped to the opposite side of the road.
"Ahhhhh!" they screamed. Kiba released his grip on Naruto's head and pushed him upright.
"Ah, Ahh, AAhhhh, Ahhhhhhhh!" The blonde doofus exploded as he turned the jerking the wheel sharply to the left.
I didn't put on my seatbelt earlier since I was kidnapped and started flipping out, so when Naruto dodged that car I was sent crashing into the evil Uchiha. My head collided with his chest with a "thump!" while I screamed for dear life. The car slowed and Naruto turned around to look at us, grinning sheepishly.
"Well, we're all alive, right?" he ran a hand through his messy yellow hair.
"BAKA! LOOK AT THE ROAD!" Kiba screamed.
"Oops!" Naruto whisked around again, chuckling in a very embarrassed manner. I sighed in relief that the life-or-death situation was over, letting my head fall forwards. It came in contact with the door, making a resounding "thump!"
"Ow…" I moaned, rubbing my forehead.
"Dammit. Why do I keep hitting my fricking head?" Apparently, the door wasn't a door at all. It was…Sasuke. I looked up to see him looking down at me with a very frightening – yes, I said frightening – expression of irritation. It took me a minute to process, but he was very close to me. Not like we were friends, I mean, I already told you I hate the guy! But I mean, literally close.
"Get off of me you idiot! What the hell do you think you're doing?" I screamed up at him.
"Hn." He said. "I think you're the one who needs to get off of me." He made a silent gesture to my arms with his eyes. I slowly followed his gaze and found that I had my arms tightly wrapped around his torso…
"…Aaahhhh!" I jumped back into my seat, trying to get as far away from the chicken-butt-hair freak as possible. I ended up almost tumbling backwards into the street. In fact, I would have, but Sasuke grabbed my leg and pulled me back just as my head started going down. I stared at Sasuke, hyperventilating. I withdrew my foot from his grasp and crossed my arms, looking away, very annoyed.
"Hn. I could've gotten back up myself…" I said. I almost slapped myself for saying "hn."

As soon as we got to school, I jumped out the side of the car without even bothering to open the door and ran towards the double doors of Konoha High.
"Late late late late late late…" I said to myself as I sped down the walkway. Out on the lawn, Hinata sat on a table bench. Hinata Hyuga is my best friend, aside from the rest of our group, of course. She usually sits outside and waits for me while the rest of our friends hurry to class, and today was no different. Even if it makes her technically late, Hinata won't go inside without me – that is, unless I'm not going to school that day.
I dropped my black backpack onto the table and sat down across from Hinata.
"Hey Hinata!" I said, giving her a small smile.
"Hi Sak-"
"Hinata-chaaann!" Naruto jumped behind her and threw his arms around her.
The poor girl. Most people could tell that Hinata likes Naruto. Well, actually, she's in love with him. One of the only people who are oblivious to this is Naruto himself. He's such an idiot that sometimes I wonder how he even made it past sixth grade. But I suppose that I over-exaggerate his stupidity.
Hinata blushed, her face going pink, the shade growing darker every second that the idiot held onto her.
"N-Naruto-k-kun!" Hinata managed to sputter.
Naruto jumped onto the bench next to her.
"Sooooo… What're you two talkin' about?" he said nosily.
"I just got here, baka." I growled in annoyance.
"Now, now, there's no need to get angry, Sak." Kiba walked up and sat on the table across from Naruto, facing and grinning down at me. I just looked up at him, the sunlight blinding my eyes.
"Um, S-Sakura-ch-chan." Hinata said.
I looked back at her,
"Yeah?"
"Sh-shouldn't we g-get to c-c-class?" she started blushing because Naruto's arm accidentally brushed against hers.
"Oh! Sorry Hina-" Naruto stopped in his tracks. "Uhhh…. Hinata-chan?"
Naruto reached up to put his hand against Hinata's forehead. "Hinata-chan. Do you have a fever? Your face is so red."
This only made Hinata blush harder. Her face went from rose red to a deep maroon. I think that the heat was too much for her at the moment, because she passed out on the spot. She fell face forward into Naruto's arms. If she were awake, her face would have turned full-out purple, though, I get the feeling that it did just that.
Naruto picked her and her things up and started to run into the school towards the clinic. I heard him scream, "SHIIIZZUUUNNNEEEE!"
Kiba turned to me and said,
"Alright, let's go."
I stood up and shouldered my bag, and once again, I was swept off my feet. I was tossed over someone's shoulder – much like a sack of potatoes – and was carried off into the school. I didn't even care to struggle, I mean, there was no point. I looked up and saw the emo-duck following a few paces behind.
"Kiba..." I groaned, allowing my body to go limp as he carried me through the school.
"This is your locker, right?" Kiba asked.
"It would help if you could let me see it first." I replied dryly. Kiba turned around. I took a glance at the blue locker and said,
"Yeah. It's mine." He dropped me onto the ground in front of my locker and started awkwardly looking in the other direction. I cocked my eyebrow at him and leaned against my locker.
"You know, you're really-" Kiba suddenly turned around and slammed his hands against my locker on either side of me. Theoretically, I was trapped, even though I could just step under his arms. I stood there like a statue, partly in shock. Kiba and I stared at each other for about two minutes while – without me noticing – he inched his face closer to me. By now, our noses were a mere centimeter apart. He dipped his head down to my neck and started a line of butterfly kisses from my jaw down to my collarbone. My eyes widened in shock and I couldn't suppress a soft moan. I felt him smirk against my skin and I slapped a hand over my mouth. Immediately, I started getting pissed. Who the hell does this guy think he is?! He can't just walk around doing this stuff to random girls! Well, I've actually never seen him do this to other girls before, and I'm actually not a random girl, I guess. I'm a friend, but whatever.
I clenched my fists, getting ready to punch this dude so hard, you'd think he was a troll when I was finished with him. I was about to kick him in the gut when he softly bit me. My arms quickly shot out to grab his shoulders to keep me on my feet. That - just that - made me start to melt. He smirked again and pressed me into my locker. 'Okay, that's it.' I thought. No! 'Great, you're back.' It was my inner. That's right honey, and you aren't gonna step away from this, are you? I mean, you've gotta admit, Kiba is one sexy- 'SHUT UP!' I groaned and prepared to beat Kiba up. I was just about to punch him when he was lifted off his feet. Sasuke stood there nonchalantly with Kiba's collar in his clenched fist.
"Hey! What's the big idea?!" Kiba barked, glaring at Sasuke. Sasuke sent that look right back and responded,
"That's disgusting. And I think you should go find someone who's interested in you. It's sad watching this." With that, he threw Kiba into the lockers on the opposite side of the hallway, walking away, hands in his pockets, with barely a glance at me.
I was a little pissed that the Dobe made us late. But I was really pissed that he almost. got. us. killed. And on top of that, his recklessness not only put us in danger, it threw Haruno right into me. That girl is so annoying with her bright pink hair and her stupid "rebel badass" attitude. Hn. She tries to be badass. That large foreheaded idiot is just as clumsy as the Dobe himself! And I didn't think that was possible! Why the hell didn't she even put on her seatbelt?! That's pretty much the first thing that you do when you get in a car! God, she's stupid. (Sasuke didn't put on his seatbelt either.) By the way, if you haven't noticed, I hate Haruno. I don't really show it - well I don't show a lot of emotion anyways - but I do. She's one of the most annoying people in the world. Not girls, I mean people. I don't even know why I acknowledge her as a person. But anyways, her dad works for my family company, and I've seen him at a few celebrations that my family held. I've known Sakura since kindergarten, and she looked just as annoying as ever. I didn't really bother with her, though. It's not like I was looking for that much trouble at that age, anyways. But I would look up every five minutes, and she'd be there just staring at me. Not like the other girls did - which was a relief - but she was sending me this furious glare of pure hatred – which cancelled out that relief. Okay, maybe not pure hatred, but it was so scary that it sent chills down my spine... And I may or may not have peed myself a little bit once... You or anyone else will never know.
When we got to the school - and we were twenty minutes late already - she jumped out of the side of the car. She didn't open the door, she jumped out. Not like I should care or anything, it's Dobe's car, but every little thing she does annoys the hell out of me! She went to her friend Hinata who was at a table on the front yard of the property. I really only know that girl's name because she's my friend Neji's cousin. Plus she's hitting on Dobe (Lord knows how) so she comes up to him every so often, and then Dobe talks on and on about what she did this time or that time.
Naruto went over and hugged the Hyuga girl from behind and I could see her blush from twenty feet away, where I was leaning against a tree. I don't know why I didn't just walk into class... Then Kiba went over and sat on the table beside Sakura. I rolled my eyes as I could tell he was trying to flirt with her. As I said before, Haruno is stupid. So therefore, she wasn't able to tell what exactly Kiba was doing. At most, I'm guessing that she just took it as Kiba being... Kiba. Nothing more. The next thing that happened was that Hinata turned maroon and passed out in Naruto's arms. The Dobe picked her and her stuff up and ran into school. I could tell he was heading for the nurse, A; because of the way he freaked out when she passed out, and B; because I could hear him shouting, "SHIIIZZUUUNNNEEEE!" When I looked back at Haruno and Kiba, the girl was being flung over his shoulder and carried away. I started to follow since I would be left alone outside, and I figured I'd better get to class anyways. Surprisingly, Haruno didn't struggle while dog-boy brought her to her locker.
I threw my arms into the air in disbelief. "Why the hell did I get kicked in the shins and he doesn't get anything when he picks her up?"
I stopped by the bathroom on my way to my locker. When I came back out, I came across a very disturbing scene; Kiba had Haruno pinned against her locker while he kissed her neck, which - to my disgust - made her moan. I got this really weird feeling that I can't shake off in the bottom of my stomach (I figure that it's just 'cause I'm pissed today) and walked over to the two. I picked Kiba up by the back of his collar, obviously catching him off guard because he screamed and flailed in the air like the animal that he is.
"Hey! What's the big iea?!" he screamed, glaring at me. I was already annoyed as hell and it was only 8:45 A.M. I glared back at him with just as much menace and replied.
"That's disgusting. And I think you should go find someone who's interested in you. It's sad watching this." I almost threw him against Haruno, but I decided against it. Instead I threw him against the lockers that were opposite Haruno and walked away, shoving my hands in my jeans pockets with a soft "Hn." I didn't even look at the pinkette.
xx R xx
"WHAT?!" Ino screamed into my ear. She, Tenten, and Temari are my other best friends. We - including Hinata who came back from the clinic in near-perfect condition - were talking in the hallway between classes. I just told them about what happened coming to and in school, and Ino did not like it. I was reluctant to tell them the last bit, but Ino loves any juicy gossip or embarrassing facts about people that she can get her hands on. This in particular though, wasn't in her favor.
"WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEE?" she whined, dramatically sobbing onto Tenten's shoulder.
I shrugged and shoved a book into my locker. Leave it to Ino to make a scene. People who were passing by looked at Ino like she was crazy. Either that or they had looks of sympathy. A few people even came up and tried to comfort her. When they asked what happened, she pointed at me and wailed, "SHE BETRAAAAAYYYEEDDD MEEEEEE!"
"Look," I turned around, sighing when I saw Ino wiping her "tears" on Tenten's sleeve. I could already see the stress-vein on Tenten's forehead. "I didn't do anything. I was gonna punch him, honestly, but the bastard Uchiha beat me to it. Would me punching him have made you happier?"
"NOOO!" Ino screeched.
The entire hallway went silent and looked at Ino for three seconds, then continued the loud chatter.
"Geez, Ino. What's all the screaming about?" Kiba walked over, running a hand through his hair (he does that way too much). Ino, I could tell, was having a hard time suppressing a squeal.
"Eee!" I heard Ino scream before she slapped her hand onto her mouth.
Kiba saw Ino's "teary" eyes and immediately enveloped her in a hug. Ino-pig stood in shock for a few seconds, then eventually gratefully returned the gesture. Kiba pulled back and asked her a few questions, putting her bangs behind her ears. Pig's face glowed red like a Christmas tree. I zoned out trying to ignore their little lovey-dovey moment, and started listening to (actually, I always had it playing) my mp3 player. I looked back at them when Kiba turned to me and the girls with his arm around Ino-pig's shoulders. She bowed her head down, allowing her big blonde bangs to cover her reddening face. Kiba sent me a slight smirk, which none of the other girls seemed to catch, and said something that was incomprehensible through the music that was blasting through my earbuds. Then he slowly backed away, whispering something seductively into Ino's ear, making her head jerk up and her face turn as red as Hinata's had earlier. She shivered a little, then Kiba disappeared into the crowd.
A few seconds passed, and when we were all sure that Kiba was out of earshot, Ino screamed loud. This time, no one even cared to pause a little in their sentences.
"OH MY GOD DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?! OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN!" Ino started jumping up and down in her three inch heels.
"Like hell it better not have." A girl named Tayuya said icily. She was with her "friends" Karin, Hana, Fuka, and Ayame. Truth be told, I was surprised to hear that Tayuya was the one to speak up, considering that Karin is the leader of their little posse.
Ino, as you could probably tell, has a very big crush on Kiba. But of course, she isn't the only one who does. And unfortunately for her, Ino's rival just so happens to be Tayuya. She's part of the most popular clique in the school, and not to mention the bitchiest. Their group is popular, but they're not exactly loved by a boat load of people. But despite that, they all act like they're on top of the world, and even each other.
"Well too bad sweetheart, 'cause it did!" Ino screeched, still jumping up and down with an insane grin spread across her face.
"Well you'd better watch it. That goes for all of you." Karin sneered, looking every one of us dead in the eye.
My eyebrow twitched at the fact that she dared to address me too. I took five steps toward Karin, glaring knives through her little red head.
"And why did you address me, hm?" I sneered back at her, cocking my eyebrow as if I were confused about something.
She took a few steps back as I approached and hissed in a cold tone, "Don't act like you don't know, Haruno. You've been treating Sasuke-kun like shit for years, and he doesn't deserve any of it. And I can see, no matter how much you believe that you hate him and choose to show that, you love him too. And how do I know that?" she took a step towards me, expecting me to step backwards – which I didn't. She thrust her head forward as if she were a snake and almost tripped on the flat surface of the ground. Her friends grabbed her arms to steady her. "I know because I do. I'm me, after all." She cockily flipped her hair behind her shoulders and chuckled to herself.
"You got a full head of air there." I told her, ending her little lunatic cackling moment. "You don't need to worry about your precious Sasuke-kun." I said his nickname with poison dripping from every letter. "He's all yours, honey. That evil, deceiving, self-centered bastard is perfect for you. Have a happy life making devil children." I gave her a little push on the shoulders, making her teeter on her heels.
I grabbed my stuff out of my locker, slammed the door shut, and walked away, leaving the five girls ranting furiously to one another. The only thing I could do was smirk in satisfaction as most of the hallway parted to let me walk through after seeing how I shot down the queen bitch.
"Whoa, did you just see that?"
"Go pinky! Give that bitch a taste of her own medicine!"
"I can't believe someone was able to do that… Well I'm not surprised that it was Haruno, but still…"
"Damn, that was awesome!"
Soon enough, the entire Konoha High student body was buzzing with word of Sakura's fight with Karin. Sakura acted like she didn't notice, but in her head she was grabbing every throat that spoke her name and chucking the person to the other side of the world. She had homeroom with Kakashi-sensei next, and she wasn't looking forward to it one bit. It was the one of the classes that she had to share with ALL of the annoying popular guys. 'But on the bright side...' she thought to herself. 'I have all my friends there, and Karin and her dogs aren't there, so I suppose it isn't really half bad…' She walked down the hall, hoping that Kakashi wasn't late again, even though she half wanted him to be and she knew it was practically impossible to have him come into class on time. Sakura turned the door knob and stepped into the shockingly quiet room. Normally there were fifteen teenage kids screaming, throwing stuff around the room, and just causing a ruckus. But today there wasn't anyone in the room.
Sakura smiled to herself and sat down in the front row of desks. Putting down her stuff, she took her earbuds out of her ears and put her mp3 player in her shirt. She knew that this was weird and that if anyone ever saw her do this, that she'd be screwed. She wanted her music though, and this was the best way to conceal everything. Luckily for her, she was able to buy a set of earbuds that were pink so that they'd blend in with her long hair. Just as she was clipping her mp3 player onto the waistband of her jeans, someone spoke up, startling her. Sakura jumped in her seat and ended up falling sideways onto the tile floor.
"Dammit… What the hell…"
Sakura rubbed her shoulder and looked up.
"Dammit!" she screamed.
There, two seats away from her sat Mr. Stoic Uchiha himself. He watched as she pushed herself off of the ground, his eyes widening a bit when her small shirt lifted up for a second to show her flat stomach. He looked away and resisted hitting himself in the head. "What the hell am I doing...?!" he thought to himself. He forced himself to look back at the now seated pink-headed girl.
"What were you doing?" he asked again, as if nothing had just happened. He raised his eyebrow, quite curious as to why she was stuffing cords down her shirt. Sakura barely lifted her head, though she did pause for a second, clearly annoyed that Sasuke had dared to talk to her. Especially about her mp3 player. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye, sending him a deadly glare. There was an evil glint in her eye that told Sasuke that Sakura was considering killing him at the moment. Finally, she responded,
"I listen to music. Is there a problem with that? No? Good. Now if you so much as tell an ant - and no loopholes for you, so that means you may not tell anyone or anything. Anyways. If you so much as tell an ant about what you saw and what I do, then so god help me, I will take your neck, snap it in two, and leave you dangling over a cage of maneating tigers. And I can do that." she pointed seriously at Sasuke when she said her last sentence.
Sasuke considered this for a moment. It wasn't as if he was going to listen to the girl. But he did find her strategy smart.
"Hn... That's actually... smart. Good job, Haruno. Now, if you don't mind, I think I'll take that idea and put it to good use." he reached into his bag and pulled out an mp3 player that was almost identical to Sakura's, other than the fact that his was black rather than blue. He strung his black earbuds - which he was lucky to have since they match his hair color as well - through his shirt and clipped the music player to the waistband of his jeans.
"ACTUALLY, I DO MIND!" Sakura exclaimed, standing up and slamming her hands onto her desk in fury. Sasuke smirked in triumph, and just then, the bell rang, announcing the beginning of second period. Wasting no time at all, groups of kids came swarming into the classroom, taking their seats and beginning to cause a ruckus. Within two minutes, footballs, paper balls and airplanes, pencils, and other various items (including someone's sneaker) were thrown across the room. Yet again, the teacher was nowhere to be found, and no other teacher came to check up on the notorious group of teenagers. Sakura sat back down, reluctantly, put in both her headphones, and took out her notebook.
I started drawing random things in my notebook when my classmates started to enter the room. I was grateful to have other people in the room. That damn bastard took my strategy! I looked over at him, relaxing back in his chair while he listened to his mp3 player... Gah! Damn him! I just wanted to take his pencils and chuck them at his eyeball! It didn't take long for my friends to follow the crowd into the classroom. They set their stuff down at some desks towards the middle row and walked over to me. Tenten and Temari shoved two guys out of their chairs and took their seats. I laughed as I watched this, but I felt bad for them.
"Really Ino?" I smirked at my friend as she sat in a random guy's lap. He allowed this and played with her a little bit, with Ino pretending to flirt back with him. A few minutes later he started talking to his friend and Ino ended up sitting on his desk. Hinata just sat on the ground beside my desk, even though I offered to let her use my chair. She shook her head and sat firmly on the cold tile floor, refusing to take my seat.
At this point, Kakashi-sensei still didn't walk through the classroom door - as usual. He was always late and the students - us - used that time to mess around and do pretty much whatever the hell we wanted.
"Sak." Tenten said, leaning forwards onto her desk. "Why'd you run off without us? I mean, c'mon woman, you could've at least told us where you were going and then waited for us a corner away or something."
"Sorry guys." I said, unplugging one of my earbuds from my ears. "That bitch just gets to me, you know. I don't think I could last ten minutes in the same room as her."
"Well you already have to, and you do." Temari pointed out. It was true. I had about three periods with Karin, and it was torture. I don't know how I made it out of school everyday... But luckily, I had Temari in those classes, so she made them a little more bearable.
A silence fell over our group, aside from the squeal that Ino released when the guy pulled her back onto his lap.
"So did anything happen to you guys when I ran off?" I asked.
Ino giggled, Temari shrugged, Hinata shook her head, and Tenten said,
"Umm… I bumped into Neji…"
My eyes bulged in interest. You see, Tenten has been hitting on Neji Hyuga – Hinata's cousin – for a long while now, and they are actually very close friends. But this guy annoys me a little bit because he's just too much like chicken-ass. It irks me to think that there are two of him…
"What happened, what happened, what happened, what happened!" I leaned toward Tenten and almost sprung out of my seat to shake her shoulders.
"Well…" Tenten started.
"Get to it!" I begged. A few people stopped their conversations to look at me, but it didn't last too long once they concluded that we were being boring.
"I was walking in the hallway and was looking at the mural by the cafeteria, and when I turned the corner I bumped – well, crashed into him. I almost dropped my stuff-" she pointed at her binder. "-but luckily I didn't… But I did start to fall backwards and he caught me-"
"WHAT?!" I exclaimed. Okay, I'll admit that I'm a little crazy when it comes to my friends and their crushes…
"LEMME FINISH DAMMIT!" Tenten yelled at me.
I looked around the classroom and saw that Sasuke and his friends – Naruto, Kiba (who was sitting a little ways away from Sasuke), Neji, and Shikamaru – were staring at us. Sasuke just rolled his eyes and looked away when he noticed me looking at them. Naruto bounced over to us and sat on the ground beside Hinata, making her turn a slight tint of pink.
"Watcha guys talkin' about?" he asked.
I rolled my eyes and replied, "Naruto, you're too nosy. Go away we're talking about girl-stuff."
He only grinned and wrapped an arm around Hinata. "Alright then! I don't mind! Do you mind me being here, Hinata-chan?" he asked.
"N-n-no N-Naruto-k-kun." Her face was near red by now.
"Baka we mean we want you to leave!" Tenten yelled, karate chopping the blonde idiot in the head. He clutched his head and turned to Hinata, resting his forehead on her shoulder and crying out,
"Aaah! Hinata-chan! Tenten hit mee!"
Hinata blushed furiously, whispering "It's alright, it's alright." And patting his head soothingly.
Temari and I smirked at Tenten. "Nice job, Ten." Temari congratulated her on this achievement.
"Why thank you, madam." Tenten stood up and did a small curtsy.
Suddenly the door opened, revealing our silver-headed teacher. He closed the door behind him, putting his things down by his desk and giving all of us a slight embarrassed wave and smile. "Sorry I'm late, everyone. I was just-"
"We get it!" we all yelled.
Kakashi-sensei chuckled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head. He sat down in his seat and started reading his perverted porn books.
"So what happened, exactly?" Temari asked Tenten.
Tenten opened her mouth to continue her story when Kakashi abruptly said, "Oh, I almost forgot! Sakura, Sasuke, Kiba, and Naruto. Could you come here for a second?"
I rose in unison with Sasuke and Kiba, but Naruto took a little longer because he claimed that his head was still throbbing and that he needed Hinata to heal him or something. We walked to Kakashi-sensei's desk and waited for him to look up from his book. After a second of standing there, Kiba turned around and started walking away. Kakashi-sensei leaped forward and grabbed the back of dog-boy's hoodie, still reading his book and said,
"Where do you think you're going, Inuzuka?" He finally looked up, raising an eyebrow. Kiba turned around and responded bluntly,
"You said for a second. A second passed and it was time to go."
I heard Ino giggle in the background. She was obviously listening in on the conversation. She glared at me and smiled, but she meant "Don't you dare touch my man otherwise you're gonna be in a boat-load of hurt, you got it missy?" I laughed to myself and turned back to the boys. Kakashi-sensei was saying some stuff that I wasn't quite sure about…
"And the assignment is-"
"Wait what?" Naruto and I said in unison.
Oh look, he decided to join us.
"Look who decided to join us." Kakashi-sensei said. Wow, the irony…
"Kakashi-sensei, could you please repeat from the beginning? I'm sorry, I couldn't quite hear you."
"I have to anyways, since Naruto just came." He replied. "So since you all missed English class in the morning, and you all share the same period, Asuma told me to tell you your assignment. It's a project, actually."
"KSUUUU!" Naruto exclaimed, collapsing to his knees and bowing his head in exasperation.
"The project is to create a novel. The minimum number of pages is two-hundred-seventy and the maximum is four-hundred sixty. You must attach a summary to your novel. You can just print the story out as a word document, but it must be in a story format. As in it must at least look the way a book usually does – format wise."
"Mhmm.." I muttered. I love to write, but the way the he was explaining this, well it's sort of annoyed me and toned down my enthusiasm.
"Asuma assigned different genres for you all. I'll have him write them down and give them to you tomorrow."
"Can't you just give it to us now?" Kiba asked.
"No Kiba. I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because I tuned out and forgot what he was saying at that point."
We all sweatdropped…
"…" is all that came out of our mouths…
"…Nice job, Kakashi-sensei…" Naruto said.
Kakashi-sensei glared at him.
"Okay, is that all?" Kiba asked, rubbing his hands and turning to leave.
"You all have assigned partners." Kakashi-sensei added.
"I'm assuming that you don't remember this one..?" Sasuke asked dryly.
"As a matter of fact, Uchiha, I did remember." He stood up out of his chair and turned towards the blackboard. "Ino, Mimi! Can you two please come here?"
In no time, Ino was wedged between me and Kiba. She stared at him out of the corner of her eye. She turned to me – reluctant to take her eyes off of dog-boy – and gave me a cheery, "Hi!"
I just sat there, waiting for our pervert of a teacher to continue.
"I'll write your partners on the board. Mimi, Ino, you know about the English project, right?"
Mimi nodded her head, but Ino just stared at Kakashi-sensei like he was speaking some gibberish alien language. Sasuke sighed and motioned for Ino to go up to him. I watched as Sasuke slowly explained – he explained slowly because he knows Ino's IQ… - the project while Ino stood there, looking up at Sasuke and continuously nodding. When they were finished we all looked up at the board.
Ino – Kiba
Mimi – Naruto
Sakura – Sasuke
Ino tried to suppress a squeal while I, on the other hand, was getting very pissed off. "WHAT?!" I exclaimed. The class stopped what they were doing to look at me. They looked from the board, to me, then to Sasuke, then back at me. Some people scooted their chairs away. It was a well known fact that I despise Uchiha Sasuke with every chemical and mineral in my body, and that I'd kill if something like this happened.
"Did Asuma-sensei really pair us up like that?!" I screamed.
Kakashi-sensei mischievously smiled at me, merely saying,
"Yup."
That was the day of the start of my downfall…
A/N: Any suggestions on the reaction? Hmm? Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I'm really sorry that it was so long. I can't really help it… I was looking for a good place to stop and this place was the only real opportunity that I had. Review pleeeaassse! :)
