Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto sigh

Here's the real chapter one. I think this story needed one. I guess the other two chapters just were two more introductory thingies... eh heh heh. Well, here's the real chapter one. This one starts where the other two left off.


The Real Chapter One

Sakura frowned, watching after the tree-chested boy.

"He does have a nice ass, doesn't he?"

Sakura squealed, "Ah! Oh my God! You scared me!" Then, Sakura did a double take. The girl before her was gorgeous. Clear blue eyes, ass-length blonde hair, a model's figure, fair skin, and rosy hued cheeks, and just for the sake of reiterating, gorgeous.

"Sorry!" The girl held out her hand, "Yamanaka Ino. You must be new."

"Haruno Sakura. Pleasure. Yes, I'm new here."

"Well, you've just had the pleasure of viewing Uchiha Sasuke's ass."

Sakura let out a dignified 'huff', "He's more of an ass."

Ino laughed, "That's funny. Don't let his fan club hear you."

"Wait... back up, fan club?" The two girls began to walk towards the entrance of the school.

"Yes, fan club. The Unofficial Uchiha Brothers Fan Club™, it's the most notorious fan club in all of Konoha high." Ino curled a strand of long, lustrous blonde hair around her dainty finger.

"Wow, I've heard rumors of these 'fan clubs', but I never thought they were real," Sakura sighed as she pushed open the glass door.

"Well, they're here, and they bite, literally."

Sakura giggled, "Are you friends with Uchiha?"

Ino shrugged, "Well, not really. We have a mutual friend, Nara Shikamaru."

"What?"

Ino squealed and latched onto a tall-ish, brown pineapple-haired, tan, lazy-eyed teen, "Shika!"

The boy branded 'Shika' groaned, "Don't call me that."

"Fine!" Ino huffed, unlatching her self from the boy and placing her hands on her hips, "Haruno Sakura, Nara 'Lazy-ass' Shikamaru."

"I'm not a lazy ass," Shikamaru turned to look at Sakura, he held out his hand, "nice to meet you…"

Sakura took Shikamaru's hand and shook it, "Just call me Sakura. Pleasure to meet you as well, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru smiled sleepily at the girls, "Well, I'm going to go swipe something from the cafeteria. Don't get harassed now ladies."

Ino re-latched her self onto Shikamaru, "Bye!" She re-detached her self from the pineapple-haired boy.

"You're so troublesome, Ino."

"Hey!"

"See ya'."

Sakura waved, rather confused by the chain of events, "What just happened? And are you dating Nara?"

Ino's cheeks flushed a healthy red, "No! I'm not dating that ass!"

Sakura grinned, and sang tauntingly, "But you want to!"

Ino muttered inaudible death threats, "Whatever. Well, that's Nara Shikamaru."

"Well, now that that's over with, can you show me where to get my schedule?" Sakura asked, completely oblivious to what her mother had said earlier that morning.

"Here you are Hun," The secretary of student affairs handed Sakura a piece of paper.

"Thank you!" Sakura smiled sweetly at the woman.

Obviously pleased with the response, the secretary smacked her gum loudly, "You're welcome."

Sakura skipped away, "Got it!"

Ino slipped the paper from her fingers, "Lemme see. Hmn…" She scanned the paper quickly, "You have two classes with me, damn!"

Sakura shrugged, "No offense Ino, but it gives me a chance to meet more people. If I hang around with you, and only you, I'll only meet you and your friends."

Ino rolled her eyes, but smiled at the girl's optimism, "Yeah, yea. Well, I'd best be off, can you make it to your home room?"

Sakura nodded, "I'll do my best!"

Ino was pulled away by the crowds opposite current of students, "Meet me in the courtyard for lunch!"

Sakura stuck her hand in the air and waved farewell to her new friend, "Bye!" Sakura pulled her hand back down and glanced at her sheet once more, "Hatake Kakashi… m'kay."

Sakura looked up.

Hatake Kakashi
Physics
Room 117

Sakura frowned, trying to ignore the rambunctious butterflies in her stomach, "Here we go…" She pushed the door open to reveal a near people-empty classroom. "Oh… kay…"

"Good morning."

Sakura looked to the man at the front of the classroom. He stood about 180cm, spiky silver white hair, one visible, lazy, black eye; and a mask covered the lower portion of his face. He was dressed in a white button up, long sleeved, white dress shirt, and a pair of navy khaki pants. "Good morning, um… Hatake-sensei? Kakashi-sensei?"

"You can call me Kakashi-sensei, and what shall I call you?"

Sakura took a seat with her name it, near the front of the class, "Haruno Sakura, but you can call me Sakura." She replied jovially.

"Alright Sakura it is." Kakashi took a seat on the top of his paper littered, oak desk, "Do you like physics?"

"I was never too good at it, but its okay I guess."

Kakashi frowned under his mask; he never did have a fondness for boy-crazed, female students who had no interest in physics. But, he was assuming when he said 'boy-crazed', maybe the pink haired girl was different. He fiddled with a scale, "I always found particle physics quite interesting."

Sakura beamed, "No way! So do I! Are we going to do anything with particle physics this year?"

Kakashi shrugged, "Why not, since I have a student who likes the subject."

Sakura's smile widened, but slowly faded as a boy sat beside her in the three-man desk. 'Oh no…'

Sasuke looked at the pink haired girl beside him, 'Oh… crap…?' "Oh, it's you."

"Yes, it's me."

A boy of about 150cm, with unruly, spiked, blonde hair, tan skin, face marks that looked like whiskers, and a small physique, but wildly attractive, took the seat on Sakura's left. "Yo, Sasuke-teme!"

Sakura looked at the boy, "Huh-?"

"You never told me you were introduced to such a lovely lady!"

"I never have been or been introduced."

"Oh really…"

Sakura scooted her chair subconsciously towards Sasuke, "Um… hi?"

"Hi!" The boy shoved out his hand. What was with people in this school and human contact, namely in the form of handshakes? Naruto smiled, showing rows of pearly white teeth, "Uzumaki Naruto, at your service!"

Sakura smiled uneasily, but shook his hand anyway, "Haruno Sakura."

"You have a pretty name," Naruto let go of Sakura's hand; "I like it."

"Um… thanks?" Sakura turned her head to the front of the class as Kakashi cleared his throat.

"Good morning-"

"What's so good about the morning?" A boy from the back asked.

"Nothing, absolutely nothing," Kakashi replied.

"Then why do we say it?"

"I don't know. This isn't a discussion for this class; go take it up in your lit class."

The boy mumbled, half the class laughed, the other half not awake enough to process the emotion.

"Now, if you'll let me continue," Kakashi smiled at the class from under his mask, the only proof of the action being the crinkling of his eye, "I'd like to take role. Ahem,

Akimichi Choji?"

"Here." A blonde haired, pleasantly plump boy replied.

"Ayaname Ritsuko?"

"Here."

"Nara Shikamaru?" No reply, "Nara Shikamaru, please do not sleep in my class."

Choji elbowed Shikamaru, who happened to be sleeping next to the plump boy, "Shikamaru, wake up!"

"Ugh… oh, here."

"Uzumaki Naruto."

"Morning!"

"Perky… I don't like you."

Naruto frowned, Sakura giggled in her seat beside him.

"Uchiha Sasuke?"

"Here."

"You're the second Uchiha to come through my class room."

"You're that old?"

"I had just started, five years ago."

Sasuke shrugged, "That makes you thirty-ish."

"Correct. Sabaku No Gaara?"

"Here."

"Inuzuka Kiba?"

A small woof was heard, "Shh! Oh! Um… here!"

"Haruno Sakura?"

"Here!"

Sasuke looked to the pink haired girl sandwiched between himself and Naruto. He looked her over, examining every curve, every pink hair, and every pigment in her luminous green eyes.

Sakura shifted uncomfortably under his scrutiny. "Something wrong, um… Uchiha?"

"Sasuke. No."

Sakura nodded. Was this boy even able to speak? Sakura shook her head as Kakashi started the class introduction.

"Physics (from the Greek, φυσικός (physikos), "natural", and φύσις (physis), "nature") is the science of the natural world dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the results produced by these forces. Sometimes, in modern physics, a more sophisticated approach is taken that incorporates elements of the three areas listed above; it relates to the laws of symmetry and conservation, such as those pertaining to energy, momentum, charge, and parity. Physicists study a wide range of physical phenomena spanning all length scales: from the subatomic particles from which all ordinary (i.e., baryonic) matter is made (particle physics) to the behavior of the material Universe as a whole (cosmology)…"

And it was there that Sakura and the sane half of the class zoned out.

Sakura pulled herself lazily out of her chair. She liked Kakashi and everything, but this first day was downright boring.

"Don't forget to read chapters one, two, and five in your text books!" Kakashi shouted genially to the half-dead class.

Sakura nodded, "Yes Kakashi-sensei."

"Good bye Sakura, have a nice afternoon."

"Will do," Sakura stared down at Naruto expectantly.

Sasuke looked at Sakura, wondering why she was just standing there, staring at Naruto. And then, it came to him.

Sakura felt a hot breath on the back of her neck, her back arched away from the sender of the words, "He's perfected the art of sleeping with his eyes open."

Sakura shuddered, "Eww. But that's strangely cool…" Sakura gripped her physics book in her right hand, "Naruto, wake up."

The blonde didn't move.

Sakura decided to strike. She lifted the heavy book high into the air, and brought it down upon Naruto's head. Might I add that the top of his head is now completely flat?

Naruto fell out of his chair and nursed his head from the comfort of the floor, "Ow! Sakura, what was that for?"

"You wouldn't move." Sakura stepped over Naruto.

Sasuke fallowed Sakura, "She has a point… dead last."

"Sasuke-teme!" Naruto stood and gathered his books, "Stupid people and their cruelty towards blondes…"

Sakura pulled the bento box from her near empty locker. Ino had told her to find her in the courtyard. Sakura hadn't made any new friends, so she found no reason to disobey.

"Sakura!"

The pink haired girl turned to find Naruto inches from her face, "Eyaaa… oh- Naruto!" A loud slap echoed through the halls.

"Ow!" Naruto rubbed his cheek, "I was going to ask if you'd like to have lunch with me."

Sakura frowned; she really hadn't meant to slap him, "Sorry for slapping you, Naruto. And I'm sorry; I'm supposed to meet Ino in the courtyard."

Naruto shrugged, "No problem, I'm going the same way anyways. I'll walk you there."

Still feeling guilty about slapping Naruto, Sakura just smiled and nodded, "Sure, that'd be nice."

Naruto grinned and took the nonexistent incentive. He locked arms with Sakura and escorted her down the 'dangerous' hallway.

"Naruto!"

"Yo!" The blonde unlinked arms with Sakura and shot his hand into the air, "Over here!"

"You come over here you ass," a voice that sounded suspiciously like Yamanaka Ino's.

Naruto grabbed Sakura's hand, "Come on!" He dragged her into the thicket of students. Naruto arrived in front of a group of students, Sakura unwillingly in tow.

"Sakura, you made it!"

Sakura smiled wearily at Ino, "Yeah, thanks to Naruto."

The other group members' eyes were on her.

"Ahem," Ino stood and walked over to Sakura, "This is Haruno Sakura. This is her first day at Konoha High, let's make her feel welcome!"

Sakura could only guess that Ino was the only enthusiastic human being among the teenagers, "Hi."

"Oh my God! Your voice matches the angelic beauty of your voice," A tall, skinny, blow cut headed, thick eye-browed, chicken legged boy in a forest green cashmere sweater cried, ignoring the strange looks he was receiving, "will you be my girlfriend? My name is Rock Lee!"

Sasuke moved down on the bench, "Here you are Sakura."

The pink haired girl looked at Sasuke strangely, "Thank you…?" She grasped her bento box and scurried to the seat cleared for her by the infamous Uchiha Sasuke. Upon sitting next to Sasuke, Sakura wondered; fangirls would kill, no, slaughter to be in her position, so why was she uncomfortable?

A girl in front of Sakura held out her hand, "I'm TenTen."

Sakura shook the girl's hand, "Nice to meet you."

TenTen smiled, "Don't worry, you'll get used to it all, I was rather overwhelmed when I first moved here."

"Where'd you move from?" Sakura queried, genuinely curious.

"Beijing, China."

"Wow…"

TenTen giggled, "I get that reaction a lot."

"But you're so fluent in Japanese!" Sakura popped some rice in her mouth.

"Ah! That's what people find too! I'm not fully Chinese. I'm only half. My father's side is Japanese."

Sakura nodded, "I see. So, why'd you come back to Japan?"

TenTen visibly saddened, "My mother died, my father and I couldn't stand to be in a place that reminded us of her, so we came back to Japan."

Sakura frowned, "I'm really sorry."

TenTen waved her hands franticly in front of Sakura's face, "Oh no! It's all right, really! I'm pretty much over it."

"Well… okay…" Sakura stuffed some more rice in her mouth.


Well, that's the real chapter one.

I know TenTen isn't a very important character in the manga, but she's going to be rather important in this story.

Also, the school wears uniforms, I'll describe them later. Lee was wearing a green sweater because he was cold. Just to let everyone in on the secret.

Kakashi's shpeal on physics is an entry from en. I'm not smart enough to write that... eh heh heh?

Well, how was chapter one, reveiw please... or I'll come after you with a spork.
