a/n: hey, thanks for reviewing! hope you like the next chapter. oh, and by the way, this will most likely turn out SasuHina, 'cuz that's one of my fave pairings. i assure you, it is NOT yaoi, cuz i'm bad at writing stuff like that. it turns out stupid or ends up normal. anywhats ( i like that word, though it's not real), this will most likely end up Sasuke and Hinata, but if it isn't, it will NOT be SasuXSaku. i'm fine with that pairing, but it's not my favorite. well, here's the next chappie, so enjoy! (or hate, or whatever you like) flames are fine, but if there is anything in there about thinking my story is stupid because of the pairings included, they will be ignored. flames will be taken as advice to improve my future work. and once again, i'm sorry for any typos. i missed letters off of names and didn't put in spaces in the 2nd chappie, and once again, i'm sorry. i'm a ridiculous typist, and the space bar ono my laptop doesn't work that great, and i'm banned from our normal computer as of last week, after i erased my sister's scores on Solitaire so i could be the winner (my mom said that cheating is unacceptable in our houosehold. all i did was press a button!)

disclaimer: i do not own Naruto, but i DO own the Mirohaaku (read chappie to find out who that is) Kyote and a few others the prep table. they're my spies XD

and now, may i present the third chapter of Troubles at Konoha High :

"I'll tell you why." Naruto now had 100 of his attention on Kyote (hey, look, one of my secret agents to see if the preps are planning something! XD). Kyote sat on the bench saddle-style and faced the blonde boy. "No one here wants to get on Sasuke's bad side, 'cause it''ll be pure hell if they do. Sasuke lives on the east side of town, in a big mansion. Th weird thing is, this mansion is in the more...dirty side of town. But still, no one tries to break in and take stuff 'cause they know they'll pay for it. Sasuke and his friends are not only the school troublemakers, they're all part of an extremely dangerous gang, called Mirohaaku." Naruto's eyes widened. He's heard about that gang on the news. They flipped police cars and lit them on fire for fun! From what Naruto had heard, these guys weren't just troublemakers, they were threats to the city. Just last week, Naruto's father had been reading in the newspaper and had seen that three outbuildings had been burnt to the ground by this grouop. The onoly reason the case hadn't been looked into was because the buildings had harbored over 30,000 pounds of illegal plants, grown by another gang known as the Ishiga gang, the Mirohaaku's rival.

"They're really members of that gang?" Naruto asked shakily. Kyote nodded.

"Not only members, but high-ranking as well. I heard that Sasuke is second in command, though I don't know if that's true. And Kin and Tenten are supposed to be up near the top as well. And Hinata sticks close to Sasuke, I think. She only really talks to him and Tenten, when she isn't taunting other kids along with Kin. Oh, and speaking of Kin, she and Sasuke were caught again, smoking behind the school. They have to come to school this Friday and clean the floors in the science classrooms. I swear, those two are a threat to the health of the stidents at Konoha High," Kyote complained. Naruto nodded. "Oh, and might I add, when Sasuke and Kin were in the office, Kin counted her cigarretes while Sasuuke hacked through the computer while the secretary was in the principal's office latting Tsunade know she had victims." Naruto laughed.

¤§¤§¤§¤§¤

The bell had rung, and the students were making their ways to class. Naruto threaded his way through the crowd, only to run into...Sasuke and two of his friends, which happened to be Shikamaru and Temari. Temari was a girl, but she kicked harder than guys did, and often picked on other students using her iron foot (iron not literal, just so people know, cuz my mom didn't XD). Naruto sucked in a breath and bit his lip as he was shoved against a locker. "What do you want, you bastard?!" Naruto yelled at the Uchiha. Ok, probably not a very smart idea pissing off a gang member, Naruto realized as he felt a fist make contact with his stomach. He opened his eyes, only to see it was none other than Temari he had yelled at. Oops. She was mad.

"You think you're so cool, don't you, short stuff?!" she taunted. Naruto looked at Sasuke. The Uchiha just stood there, an emotionless expression on his face. Shikamaru was leaning against the lockers, his eyes closed. Then Naruto noticed the crowd of students watching. "Well, answer me!" Temari yelled at him.

"N-No ma'am," he gasped. Ma'am? Where did that come from? Naruto was surprised at his words. He noticed his three attackers, if you could call Shikamaru an attacker, all looked amused. Temari snickered.

"Tsunade's the ma'am around here, dumbass. And I am nothing like that old hag," she told him, her fist making friends with his stomach again. Naruto wheezed, gasping for air.

"Temari. Teacher," Sasuke's voice drifted over coolly. Temari dropped Naruto, then joined her friends.

"Take that as a warning, midget," she said, sounding intimidating. Naruto flinched, picked up his books, then ran to catch up with Kyote, ignoring the stares of other students. He couldn't find the bronze-haired boy, but saw Neji walking down the hall.

"Hey, Neji?" he said as he caught up. Neji looked at him.

"Yeah?"

"Why don't the teachers really do anything. Like suspend them?" Naruto questioned. Neji sighed.

"They can't suspend Sasuke or his group, because the police department sent the group to this school. They were the only underage members of the gang, the only ones that should be inn school. If they don't attend school, they go to a jeuvenile correction camp out in the desert or something. It was either 8 hours of school a day, or 12 hours of work ono a ranch every day. The group is supposed to be clean now, having no connections with the gang anymore, but the majority of the town's citizens that know about the grouop have other opinions," Neji explainied. "Besides, if they did anything to cause trouble for the group, the teachers would find their expensive vehcles keyed or in flames or in total wreckage." Naruto sighed, finally understanding (or atleast thinking he's understanding! XD). The two boys enetered their class and ignored the death glares coming from Kin, Tenten, Kiba, and Shino, who sat in the far right corner of the classroom. Naruto sighed again and prepared himself for pencils and missiles made out of paper that would come flyinng throuogh the air and hit his head. The next hour an 15 minutes was gonna be hell.

¤§¤§¤§¤§¤

The end of the day. Finally. Hinata hurriedly ran towards the front door, trying to evade questioninig from Neji about her bruise. It was nothing, jut a small blue mark on her hand.Nothing had happened,she'd just been out with the guys again, and had slipped while walking down the sidewalk. Sasuke had grabbed her arm to kee her from falling into the road just as a bug semi had driven by. His tight grip had left the bruise on her pale skin. But if Hinata even mentioned Sasuke being in connection of the small injury, Neji ould overreact, go hysterical, and call the police, assuming she'd been raped or something. Stupid, baka cousin, she thought, opening the door to their mansion and hurrying up to her room. Her sister, Hanabi, was inside waiting for her. Except she held one of Hinata's notebooks,and was flipping through it. One of her notebooks to do with Mirohaaku. Shit!

Hanabi turned to her. "What's this?" she asked accusingly.

"N-nothing. One of my o-old n-notebooks from when I was part of that g-gang," Hinata lied, for once thankful she had a stutter to mask her nervousness. "I was gonna t-throw it out." Hanabi accepted that and tossed the notebook onto Hinata's bed.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall!" the younger Hyuga exclaimd. She looked at Hinata with Bambi eyes. Hinata sighed.

"Um...ok. just let me put my t-things away," she said, putting her backpack next to her desk. If she refused Hanabi, her sister was bouond to let wprd of the notebook slip, even though she believed it was trash and raise suspicion from their father. Hinata quickly changed her shirt, putting on a purple tank to replace her the white press shirt she had worn to school. Who wanted to wear collars to the mall when it was so close to summer? Grabbing her handbag, a punky, purple and neon orange puse with fringe, sewn together from old shirts.She and Tenten had made a bunch with their clothes that ceased to fit their well-muscled, yet perfect builds. (Hey, a girl had to be strong when in a gang, right?) Hinata liked how the purse went perfectly with her tanktop, but a two second thought was all she gave it, before she and her younger sister walked out to jump into Hinata's car.
