Just What I Needed
Chapter Three- Chaos Ensues
By Sakura Uchiha
Disclaimer: If this is fanfiction, then I'm a fan, which means I couldn't have created the thing I'm a fan of, therefore I couldn't own it…
A/N: This chapter is a little bit longer than the two preceding chapters. I hope everyone enjoys it, and please review when you are done! Also, I switch between Kakashi's first and last name frequently- when around Sakura, he is referred to as "Hatake" but when around everyone else, he is referred to as Kakashi. : ) Also, this will not, I repeat, NOT end Sakukaka. The question is, however, how will Sakura open her eyes to the many boys that fall in love with her??? Eh anyways, I'm not very happy with this chapter, but I do not know why. Review please!
"Hm... not a good idea to flirt with students, Sensei." A very smooth, deep voice reached Hatake's ears, and he turned around very slowly.
"Oh, ohayo, Uchiha. Can I help you?" Hatake deadpanned. Sasuke took a step forward, out of the shade of the tree, and raised an eyebrow.
"Actually… I think you're the one who needs help here, Sensei." Sasuke replied, taking another step forward. Hatake bristled.
"Stay out of this, Sasuke. It doesn't concern you."
"Right. Like the last girl didn't." Sasuke snapped. Hatake shot up.
"I will only warn you once more, Uchiha, stay out of it!" Hatake said darkly. Sasuke rolled his eyes, and in a flash of dark clothing was gone. Hatake sank back down on the bench. "I really have a problem…" He muttered.
Sakura lived behind a shrine. It was the biggest shrine in Konoha, with many different rooms and beautiful architecture. It had been in her family for years, and once Sakura's parents died her brothers would inherit the shrine.
She reached her house, small in comparison to the shrine, and burst through the low white gate. She had been running since she stopped to talk with Hatake, for she didn't want to be late and worry her mother. She looked up from the latch of the gate…
"Oh… holy sh-"
"WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME, SAKURA?!" About fifty boys wearing the Konoha High School uniform chorused. Sakura quivered. Naruto was there, front and center, with a bouquet of flowers, fighting off all of the other boys.
"SAKURA, WILL YOU MARRY ME?!" he cried, holding out his flowers.
"Eh…" She stepped back, swallowing. "Er… I have to-" She dashed off before the boys could hear the rest of her excuse.
Yeesh, what a weird day!
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood MORNING Konoha, rise and shine! It is seven thirty am and the sun is bright, bright, BRIGHT-"
smash
"Ungh…. I need a new alarm clock… preferably one that doesn't go off…" Sakura groaned, sitting up and rubbing her eyes. The pale light filtered in through the lacy curtains, and onto the soft rug. "Ahhh I need more sleep… hopefully today won't be so crazy as yesterday." She muttered, stumbling off the bed and picking up her uniform from the floor. She searched her drawers for another pair of navy blue knee socks, and then felt around her dresser for a brush. Five minutes later, she stood in front of her full-length mirror, making sure everything was pulled together. "Well… it's as good as it's going to get, as usual…" She grabbed her school bag, and practically fell down the flight of stairs, receiving a glare from her mother.
"Don't be so clumsy, Sakura!" She yelled from her newspaper. Sakura shrugged, and reached for some toast.
I wonder what today will be like… what the heck were all of those guys doing here, they don't even know me! That one guy with the eyebrows was sure creepy… and then that guy with the long hair who kept glaring at Naruto… and Naruto, well he was just plain weird!
And, what about Hatake?
Or Ino…Sakura grumbled and finished her toast, and glanced at the clock.
"Seven forty five! Ohhh noooo!! I'm going to be late!" She squealed, falling off her chair and racing for the door. She flew outside and down the street, praying that she would get to Konoha High on time.
Ino slumped in her desk, staring at her reflection in the window. There was a huge bump on her forehead, marring her perfect face. Why did she have to do that, I mean, I really didn't wanna hurt her feelings, I was just joking, kinda… ugh, now my forehead is worse than hers, anyway… I am not a pig!!!
"You know, when you actually do bother to think, your facial expressions are kinda funny."
Ino whirled around and glared.
"Shut up, Shikamaru! Go bother someone else!" She hissed, knowing fully well that her face was bright red.
"Heh, you think I'm trying to bother you? Why would I do that? You're too much of a pain in the ass to bother!" He snickered, and turned to face the front of the room.
"Idiot," She whispered, as Kakashi Sensei walked into the room in his usual trenchcoat and eyepatch. Many of the girls giggled and whispered (most of them not only belong to the Sasuke fan club, but also the Hatake Kakashi fan club.) but Ino merely turned her attention to Sasuke, who was sitting two seats ahead of her. Dammit, why did Big Foreheaded girl get to sit behind him!?! Now she gets to stare at the back of his adorable head all of homeroom for the rest of the year!!
"Homeroom… has begun." Kakashi announced, slamming his hands down on his desk for impact.
"You're late!" Naruto called from the back, and Kakashi scowled.
"That's one more hour on your next detention." He snapped. He quite obviously had a hangover. "Besides… I ran into a fearsome teenage mutant ninja turtle-"
Just then, Sakura burst through the door.
"Thank you for joining us, Miss Haruno." Kakashi said sarcastically, but then winked –well, sort of—at her to take the edge off of the comment, and she smiled back sheepishly. "Please take your seat."
Sakura fell into her seat behind Sasuke… and in front of Ino. Sasuke glanced over his shoulder at her, and Sakura, despite Hatake's warning, felt her heart melt. Ino, on the other hand, hissed into Sakura's ear, "watch it, punk." Sakura's legs turned to jelly.
"Uhh, s-sure," She stammered, and tried to focus on what Hatake was saying. She couldn't help but smile when she saw him, his hair completely defying all known laws of gravity, and how tired he looked. She couldn't help but wonder what his mouth looked like. It was hidden by the collar of the coat, and quite well so. And then his eye… Sakura sunk into her seat, not hearing a word of what he was saying. She was beginning to feel very warm.
"Pay attention," She heard someone whisper, and looked up. Sasuke was looking at her with an unreadable expression. "Having a crush will get you nowhere with him," He added, and then turned to face Hatake again. Sakura felt her face go completely red, and in that moment she knew today would be even crazier than yesterday.
Hello! I hope you liked it, if I'm making any characters too OOC, or if something seems out of place, tell me! Please review, but with constructive criticism! I want to get better at writing. So review!
Ciao,
Sakura
Ohayo- Shortened version of a Japanese greeting. Like saying, hey!
