A/n: My 3rd chapter, I haven't updated for a long time 'cause my computer died, but resurrected again.
Chapter 3: Getting Closer
"Do you know what you just did?!" Ino screamed at the top of her lungs while giving her not so holy and peaceful sermon to Sakura.
"I-i talked to him and just said what I'm thinking about them..." Sakura replied with a sort of scared voice.
"You know! They can do anything they want to do to you! You're not safe especially by confronting them like that in front of the crowd and their fan girls!"
"You mean they'll harass me physically?!" Sakura came into realization that she can't be safe by the connections of the 4 guys.
"Exactly, those 4 guys are almost running every movement of each student here, they have authority over anyone"
"But they can't just do that! What are the teachers doing?"
"They're just like one of the students..they have the same fate like the other students studying here"
"Wait! But that's still not right..teachers are supposed to do something about them!..Is Tsunade-sama also included?"
"She isn't…Heaven's Fire is still following her"
"Ino-chan.. I just have a question"
"What is it?"
"Do you like what those 4 are doing for years?" she asked like a child asking why the sky is blue.
"Well… no, not at all. I know you're going to ask why I haven't even tried to stop them"
Sakura nodded
"They're scary and dangerous of all the people here in school.. remember, they can do anything"
Sakura gulped. Is it really true that Heaven's Fire is that powerful? All she knows is that this kind of story of a group ruling over a society exists only in stories or dramas that her dad's watching. It's giving her chills.. also with Ino saying scary stories about Heaven's Fire.
Being passive for quite a while, she didn't recognize that a tall, brunette-haired girl was standing in front of her.
Two warm hands held Sakura's shoulder, "Watch where you're going". Sakura looked up and smiled thanking her for preventing her from crashing into her, "I'm okay, thanks" she went on her way still thinking deeply of Heaven's Fire.
"Hey, Ino-chan, she didn't seem to recognize us" the brunette haired whispered audibly to Ino thinking that Sakura was really this innocent person that Ino's talking about.
"She's still probably thinking of Heaven's Fire" a long violet haired, soft-spoken girl said sweetly.
Sakura was now biting her thumb finger by just thinking of how Heaven's Fire's gonna do their action against her. But finally, she stopped at her tracks and realized that Ino's not with her anymore. She quickly put down her thumb and turned her back only to see Ino with her 2 other friends.
"Yo!" Ten-ten, the brunette haired girl, waved at her, "You must be Sakura-san.. I'm Ten-ten, and I'll be your new classmate"
Sakura smiled with her normal and natural childish, sort of stupid smile and reach out her hand, "I'm Sakura Haruno, nice to meet you" Ten-ten took it and smiled lightly.
"Sakura-chan, they are my friends when I started studying here. Here's Ten-ten and Hinata" Ino introduced her to her classmates.
Hinata smiled innocently at Sakura and started her greeting, "I'm Hyuuga Hinata, Ino-chan told me a lot of things about you"
Sakura was still smiling with her original smile as she was waving her hand at Hinata, "Oh.. I see," A sudden thought quickly appeared in her mind seeing those pearl eyes that she noticed with one of the members of Heaven's Fire, "Are you… related to someone big in this school?"
"Ah.." Hinata nodded with a small smile, "I'm Hyuuga Neji's cousin.. one of the members of Heaven's Fire
"Oh.. I see" she repeated while she was still absorbing the new information that she just gained.
"Let's take our seats before classes start" Ten-ten said grabbing her new friend with her, followed by Ino and Hinata in going to their homeroom class.
"The Heaven's Fire is really distracted when you confronted them, you rock" Ten-ten introduced another topic after they spent almost half an hour laughing and talking about stuffs and their weird stories. It's positive; they can really get along with their weird heads.
"But is there somebody who have tried to rebel against them?" Sakura asked thinking that there's really a big percent that there are still students who were thinking the same as what she thinks.
"Some were expelled 'cause those four really haunted them down"
"But they can't just get someone kicked out"
"They're not kicked out..they drop out"
Hinata and Hinata had been chit chatting on their way to class talking about summer vacation and love life. However, Sakura and Ten-ten had been talking about Heaven's Fire.
The 4 girls took their seats with Ten-ten sitting beside Sakura, while Hinata and Ino are behind them. Back to where they left..
"But if ever those guys will do that to you.. you won't back out for sure," Ten-ten said forming a small smile "because you're a strong girl"
Sakura was flattered by Ten-ten's remarks but by this time, Heaven's Fire is kind off scaring her in inexplicable reasons, "I think, I can make it for this year"
"For a lot of years, it's my first time to see a weird expression on Sasuke's face earlier"
'For a lot of years' So, they were friends since childhood? "So you're friends with Heaven's Fire?"
Ten-ten looked at her blankly then looked at the board in front of the class, "Yeah," she looked at her again, "I just can't imagine those four ridiculous guys are my childhood friends"
Ten-ten continued, "And for the years that passed, they haven't changed, always the arrogant, unruly dictators"
Sakura nodded with a sound from her mouth, "Agree"
"And now, they grew up thrice of who they are before," Ten-ten sighed "And I'm foretelling that there would be a big chance of change since you came, the first ever girl who confronted the cold prince, that's unusual"
Sakura grinned and scratched the back of her head, "That would really be weird; I'm not that powerful as those guys. Eto.." Sakura made a normal face of hers and said plainly as she pointed to herself, "I'm just a common girl out there who lives life eating in a kotatsu table, rides train every morning, brings a bento box with me to school, doing shopping for foods, and for short, I'm just a normal commoner that was accepted to this school"
"But even normal girls like you, have something unordinary within"
'Don't be too arrogant'
'Arrogant, huh?' Sasuke smirked. He heard that word from a lot of people a lot of times, but why is it bothering his rigid mind?
"TEME" the blonde came running to Sasuke and head locked Sasuke upon reaching his seat.
"Get off dobe" Sasuke replied annoyed
Naruto positioned himself like a fan girl and said in a girl voice, "Aww, Sasuke-kun's so cool. I love him so much, chuu chuu chuu, I want a kiss Sasuke-kun. Marry me," Naruto was nearing Sasuke with an attempt to kiss him.
Sasuke shoved him away, "God damn, stop it" he said in an irritated voice
"Or probably, you want this one" Naruto stood straight in front of Sasuke as Neji and Sai are also waiting for his next.
Naruto breathed heavily and spoke in a semi high pitched voice, "Don't be too arrogant"
Sasuke frowned at him as the pink haired girl crossed his mind
Naruto continued adding over exaggerated actions "You're the same as the others, the four of you are just ordinary persons, but it just happened that everyone appreciated you and worshipped you. But despite of that, when the 4 of you are fully aware of it, you're just letting things happen and even treat yourselves as Gods." How the hell did he memorize that?
"Since when did you start learning memorizing long lines?" Neji questioned, well, he just said a long sentence, that's rare for him to memorize
Naruto smiled sheepishly as he dropped into a chair, "What she said was worth memorizing, right Sasuke?"
"You don't have to remind me" Sasuke plainly replied
"Sai, do you know her?" Neji asked. Sai weirdly knows a lot of people by just hearing their names and not actually talking to them.
"Haruno Sakura" Sai replied blankly while his gaze was still glued at the book he's reading, "new scholar for this year, she's at the same level as ours"
Naruto smiled brightly while jumping into the air, "Yahoo!!" he exclaimed, "I'll get to meet her in one of our classes"
Sasuke smacked his head and said plainly, "You're too loud..I'm thinking"
Naruto rubbed his head and frowned at him thinking of something, as he said, "Hmph! Thinking of what? Don't even try to play with her if that's what you're thinking"
Sasuke crouched at his seat and smirked while his eyes are closed, "That can be"
"WHAT?!"
Sai and Neji sighed and murmured, "Here we go again"
"You, bastard!! She doesn't even like you, how could you think you can play her?!" Naruto shouted
"Dobe, that's what they're calling fangirl tactics," Sasuke opened his eyes, "But if she's not.."
"Then what?" Naruto replied
"I'm sure that she'll fall easily"
Naruto gave him a disapproving look, "Then what if she does?"
Sasuke closed his eyes again, and shifted his position before saying,
"She's not the girl I wanna be with"
Sai, Neji, and Naruto just gave him a 'really' disapproving look. For them, after being with Sasuke a lot of years, it's just odd for Sasuke meeting a different girl, but they're sure enough that somehow, sometime, a place in his heart, would want him to know more about this girl.
"Sakura?" Ten-ten called Sakura who was currently looking for her Physics book inside her locker, "Are you done?"
Sakura found her book and raised it, "I found it!" she closed her locker and went with Ten-ten to their next class, "Gomen, It took me so long to look for my book," she said grinning while rubbing the back of his head.
Ten-ten sighed, "I think I have to get used to that" She smiled same with Sakura
Sakura noticed that girls were flooding the hall on the way to their next class, "Ne, Ten-chan, why are there a lot of girls.. I mean, in some of our classes, there's nothing like these weird number of girls"
Ten-ten laid her finger at her lips, "I think we have Physics class next.."
Sakura cocked her head, "Hai, and so?"
"We have the same class with Heaven's Fire"
Sakura nodded, "Ohhh, so..ahhh" Sakura looked away and bit her lip, scared of meeting them for the second time, 'I wonder, what would happen next?' Chills run up her body as they reached their classroom.
A hand tapped her from behind. Sakura looked around, "Are you okay?" Ten-ten asked curiously after seeing Sakura spaced out a minute ago.
Sakura formed a fake smile, "Yya, I think I'm okay" she gave a thumbs up and grinned
Ten-ten pouted in her reaction, "If you're thinking of those four guys, don't worry I'll protect you" Ten-ten winked and smiled as they sat down beside each other.
Sakura stopped breathing when the girls outside their classroom began to cheer and squeal at the top of their lungs.
"They're almost here" Sakura began to sweat, "Come on", Sakura breathed heavily and it helped relieving the nervousness that she's having.
Soon, the four entered with Naruto the first to show up with his remarkable sheepish smile. He saw Sakura looking at them with her beautiful green orbs. As he walked passed Ten-ten and Sakura, he greeted with his hand inside his pocket and the other waving at them, "Hello, Ten-ten-san.. and," he smiled sheepishly at Sakura, "Sakura-chan!"
"Eh? H-how did you?" Sakura asked with curiosity
Naruto grinned and rubbed the back of his head, "I just found out from the guy there," he pointed his thumb at Sai who's currently having a hard time going in due to the crowd, "He's a person who gets to know someone by just hearing their name from gossipers"
Sakura nodded innocently and smiled, "I think he's smart for remembering all of the names"
"Ahh, anyways! I'm Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto formed a wide smile as he extended his arms
Ten-ten raised an eyebrow as she looked at Naruto's hand, "Oi, Naruto-kun" she called
Naruto looked down at Ten-ten with a question mark beside his head
"Are you sure this is not a plan by Sasuke or something?"
Naruto wrinkled his eyebrow, "Why would I do that? I want to meet Sakura-chan and hang out with her"
"Naruto" she made an evil smile, "make sure"
Naruto formed a wide smile again, "I won't"
Sakura smiled knowing that a member of Sasuke's group is not that bad and is willing to be friends with her. Sakura took Naruto's arm and smiled lightly at him, "Nice to meet you"
"Eh…" Naruto blushed by her sweet and kind reaction, "I'M GLAD TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU TOO SAKURA-CHANNN" Naruto was cut of as he tried to hug Sakura when Sasuke smacked his head from behind.
Sakura looked up at the 4 of them as a sudden feeling of fright came to her. She looked down to avoid making contact with them.
Sasuke smirked as the guys headed to their seats. Sakura sat beside Sakura as Neji sat beside Ten-ten and the two guys watching the scene of the odd pairings in front of them.
"I think this would be a bad day" Neji murmured beside Ten-ten, "I got the wrong seat for the first day"
Ten-ten shot him a glare, "And who do you think chose that seat? Me?"
"I don't know too, maybe it's meant that I'll have a bad day today"
"Then, freaking choose another seat!!" Ten-ten shouted at him as he smirked.
Sakura gulped and looked at the person beside her at the corner of her eyes, "Why did he choose to seat beside me?" She nervously thought. She looked at her clock telling that her last period teacher is late, "I hope you'll come now"
"Hey" Sasuke called in a guttural voice
Sakura jumped with the low voice that called her. Was he calling her or just another person, probably Naruto or some other person? She shook her head, "Not me"
"Pinky" Sasuke called again, "Why does she keep on ignoring me?"
Right now, she just heard the word pink. She run her hands to her hair and concluded again, "My hair's pink" She finally looked up at Sasuke, "Are..you c-calling me?" she pointed at herself.
"Idiot, who else here has pink hair"
"Ahh.." Sakura seemed to forget that there's something unsettled between them and turned friendly to Sasuke, she pouted, "but I have a name"
Sasuke looked at her like she's the person who just received the best moron of the year award.
Sakura shifted her seat position facing front.
"Sakura" Sasuke said seductively while leaning closer to her. "Let's just see, how you'll react"
Sakura turned his head and moved back seeing Sasuke's position that would make her scream anytime now, "W-what do you w-want?"
"Go out with me after school" Inside Sasuke's head, he was smirking like hell, expecting the girl in front of her to melt and give in right after his sentence.
Sakura clenched her fists by thinking that Sasuke looks at her as a girl that's easily deceived by any guys and would be taken home afterwards. "Go out with any girl but I'm telling you that I'm not the girl you're thinking!" she shouted right in front of Sasuke's oh-so-beautiful face "I-I'm sorry"
The class silenced and looked at them with another 'Huh?' expression as if the classroom would explode in 3 seconds.
"Whatever" Sasuke was really doomed this time and positioned himself at his seat. The class then, decided to continue back with their businesses.
The nerdy teacher came in and greeted the class "Sorry I'm late class, I was at a meeting. I think we still have 7 minutes left, so I'll just discuss to you about the projects for the whole year" the teacher cleared his throat then continued, "Each month, you will have one project; this will be done with a partner"
The class started to react especially the girls..
"This year would be my chance to be with my Sasuke-kun!!" a fan girl said in an annoying tone
"Who said that Sasuke-san's yours?! HE'S MINE!!!" another fan girl shouted, by just a minute these two would have a special for Sasuke-kun tournament.
"Stop that," the teacher called the attention of the two girls and then fixed his glasses "I'll now tell you your partners" he cleared his throat again and looked at his notepad "Ren and Yuhiko," he mentioned the partners for some and then, "Neji Hyuuga…you'll be" he looked at Neji and pointed at the person beside him, "you'll be with Ten-ten"
"I told you, this is a bad day" Neji said again and looked at the pissed off Ten-ten
The teacher continued, "And, Sasuke Uchiha" the class silenced waiting for Sasuke's partner's name to be mentioned.
"You're with the new student…Sakura Haruno"
"WHATTT?!" the girls in the class said in unison followed by a lot of remarks
"Hey! That's not fair, just because she's a new student doesn't mean that she can be with Sasuke-kun!"
"Ya, she's correct" and it goes on.
"This is a joke" Sakura audibly whispered, is this another problem that she'll bear..for the whole year?
The bell rang..well, that doesn't answer that question
"It's for real, pinky" Sasuke stood up and left the classroom smirking
"See you later Sakura-chan!!" Naruto glomped her from behind and then left with the other guys.
"Sure" Sakura replied back
"I would not be surprised if she'll be Sasuke's girlfriend of the week" A girl conversed with another girl. They saw Sakura and they quickly looked away.
Sakura and Ten-ten looked at them with a weird what's-going-on look, soon, they found bunches of students gathered around the bulletin board.
"Something's going on" Ten-ten said
"I know..let's go check the bulletin board" Sakura replied and they went to the area and saw..
Sasuke's target for the week: Sakura Haruno
(---with a pic . )
Just this morning, the new transferred scholar, Haruno Sakura, affronted the school heartthrob, Sasuke Uchiha. This girl turned out to be an ignorant kind of a girl, but no one really knows if it's just part of her plan to get closer to Sasuke. The majority says that the girl is doing her plan for Sasuke to notice this another fan girl. But we can't change the heartthrob's decision. Just wait for the next update this week; "The relationship of the scholar and the prince", and maybe on Friday "The Break Up"
The Heaven's Fire Fans Club
(Given a permission from Sasuke Uchiha to post this article)
"This is the start" Sakura said weakly and held his necklace, "I'm gonna make it for sure!"
"That's the spirit Sakura-chan, they won't last long" Ten-ten said to comfort her
Sakura nod and raised her arm, "YATTA!!"
