I don't own Naruto or Gakuen Alice…
Chapter 4:
Recap
There was huge electricity that erupted from there and suddenly alarms were buzzing and there were a few people running out of the building. Suddenly, the academy came to life when the windows' lights turned on and Sasuke only smirked. He probably knew what was going to happen already. Everyone had woken up from the small commotion, and when the gates opened they were now fully on their feet, while team taka joined them afterwards.
Guards came out with their flashlights, while the students could only watch in their rooms. Natsume made a peak from his window and scowled at the commotion. He had always been awake and he saw there was nothing but a pebble that made contact with the high voltage gates. They were already here. He knew it… however; he didn't think they'd notice a single thing about the gate. However, they do have an unusually high wall for a gate… maybe that perked up their interests…
He watched as Narumi made his way and had a little chit chat with them. He also saw them being walked in the gates. He didn't want them inside the academy… no matter how annoying the people in here are… he actually cared for them, not that he'd admit it out loud no…
Sasuke's interest in the school just greatly increased. No matter how gifted the children are in the school, it wasn't normal that the gates would have any intruder electrocuted. Besides, even if that was the case, there would be a disadvantage to the students in case there would be emergencies… unless of course, they have something that everyone doesn't have…
Question is… what is it?
End of recap
They entered their rooms, and were surprised that they got their own quarters. Needless to say, some actually had to share their room with others, but only with their own students. They didn't want their visitors feeling crowded. They left them to get settled on their own and all the teachers proceeded to the faculty where they were all observing each and every one of them. They also noticed that the other people had brought with them some unnecessary baggage. Like a dog, and the other one had bugs underneath him…
They thought it odd. Of course, they'll try and see if Ruka could get them controlled if they ever ran rampant around the school grounds. They sat in a circle and observed them. So far, they just kept on inspecting every single thing in their rooms, and then the phone rang, Jinno stood up and answered it…
"Moshimoshi?" he answered and was silent for a while. All the other teachers waited for them to finish and after a while Jinno placed the phone down and signalled someone to put the crystal ball away since they have some serious things to discuss about…
"Well?" Narumi asked him and Jinno looked around the teachers' faces and took a deep breath…
"We have a lot of work to do. Here's the principals' plan…"
Konoha
He had just received the scroll that was given by one of Shino's bugs. He could tell that the little critter had been travelling a long way, seeing as they were strictly told not to do anything a ninja would do like jutsus or anything as a precaution. It had been a while since the bug came to him and it took him longer than expected to see just what it was it was trying to say. Soon he just gave up and decided to summon any available Aburame to translate what the bug was saying…
They have arrived and some unexpected company were there too. He clenched his fists. Why in the world were Sasuke and his team there!? He thrashed on his desk and papers flew everywhere. He tried to contain his anger but he couldn't. Wasn't this only spoken through letters and in the Kage summit? He heightened their sensors yet still word was leaked out. It seems as if he had underestimated Akatsuki. He shouldn't have…
He thought for sure that he had given his Anbu harsh training, but even so the Akatsuki was able to slip through their precautionary measures. He growled under his breath as he stared out to the horizon. He must figure out where the Akatsuki are, sooner or later, a war will break out and he'll make sure he's on the winning side…
Gakuen Alice
The school was already starting and all everyone could talk about was the people that had just arrived in the early morning that managed to activate the gates, but yet none of them were scathed. Natsume was inwardly growling. Anyone at the first time in the school wouldn't know those gates were electrocuted, but seeing as they were able to figure that out in their first visit, he's even more determined to know and find out who they really are…
If it was their first time visiting the academy, how were they able to take note of the gates? They must have been here before… they definitely must have been spying on them! He clenched his fists so tight that his knuckles started to turn white, until he was snapped out of his thoughts…
"Ruka-san!" someone called out behind them and both males stopped to see Narumi approaching them. Both he and Ruka shared a look before turning back to Narumi, "I'm so happy I could catch up with you!" he beamed and Natsume could only scowl…
"What do you want?"
"Oh nothing," he said waving him off, "I just want to let Ruka know that they have some animals with them." And that caught them completely off guard…
"Demo Narumi-sensei aren't we suppose to…" Ruka said implying something and Narumi caught on…
"Don't worry; I doubt they'll notice it." He said and winked at the both of them and started to head off somewhere…
Natsume narrowed his eyes at Narumi's retreating back. What could it possibly that Narumi hoped to gain from Ruka trying to get close with the animals they have? He only grunted and started to head towards their classroom…
"Don't do it." He said, snapping Ruka out of his daze…
"Eh?"
"Don't go near those animals. They brought them for a reason Ruka. If something changes in their behaviour, they'll know something is up." He stated and Ruka nodded obediently at him. He knew Natsume only wanted him to be safe, but he's not the only one with a plan to keep the school safe and its secrets. He knew something was up also, and if Narumi-sensei told him that they have animals, maybe he could get close to them if he sees their animals…
"Ruka," Natsume said, snapping him out of his thoughts, "I mean it… don't do something rash."
"You're one to talk." He retorted
"And look where that got me." He replied and that shut him up. He sighed in defeat. Natsume was only looking out for him, but he wanted to show him he can handle himself too and didn't need to be warned with everything he does. He only wants to help Natsume, but it seems like he's lying low, besides, aren't alices supposed to be not used while the visitors are still here? But what if there was a need to break the rules in case something went wrong?
They can't expel them, they all know that, but… the punishment is severe…
In the meantime, Sasuke had been unable to place his mind to rest. Why the hell was there such a large amount of people from Konoha here? Why oh why is the Kazekage also here? He clenched his fists and stared at the clothes laid out for him by the school. It was meant to be a uniform for him and he has a schedule also given to him. He scoffed, he'll just skip those classes anyway, aside from the physical education, and he'll want to know what they do during those classes.
He sat up from his bed and walked up to the window where he could see robots doing all the school work and students, male and female chat with each other. Maybe he should go out and explore the school's premises…
He didn't change and was still in his mission clothes… meaning not in his ninja clothes. To be honest, it was lighter and cooler, maybe he should wear things like this more often, but he knows they won't be able to endure the conditions of his previous missions and was likely to not last anyway. The cloth was thin and easily tear-able. Where the others' rooms were anyway? He sighed, he'll worry about that later, right now, and he just wants to roam around…
He went out his room and looked to his left and right. It was all an endless hallway filled with doors, and he didn't know which way to take…
'Screw it I'll just go wherever I feel like it.' He thought and just walked to his right and found a stairs and went down and got outside the dorms. He looked around and saw that the students were nowhere to be found… probably in class already, he figured. He then saw that there were a lot of trees due north, and decided to go and explore there. He just didn't know he was being watched by the teachers left in the faculty through a crystal ball…
He continued on with his journey, but he felt as if he himself is being watched, so he just decided to keep to himself until he saw tall grasses in front of him. He narrowed his eyes, he never liked tall grasses, and they were itchy and have lots of lurking danger hidden by its height. He looked around and saw that there were no other ways in but through it. He sighed and cursed his luck and looked down for something to throw…
He picked up a rather large stone and tossed it inside, where he heard a loud splat. His brow furrowed and he took a peak at the stone he threw… it was not too far from him, and he could still see it, but he didn't think it was that small of a rock, until it disappeared from his sight. His eyes narrowed…
There was quick sand… how the hell was he supposed to pass through quick sand without sinking? He cursed himself, if he was being watched and he'd use his chakra on his feet to walk through it, they'd know something was up with them, but if he also walks there and sink, he'll have to shout for help… and he doesn't ask, much less shout for help! He growled and picked up some rocks and threw them in different places.
Eventually he found that there was a path where there weren't a quick sand and walked there. Finally, he passed the tall grasses and was met with the woods. He smirked to himself; at least there was something he was familiar with. He didn't need to remember where the path was, he remembers paths easily anyway. He then went deeper into the forest…
Serina had been watching him ever since he walked out of his room and noticed just how keen his senses are. She must tell the other teachers, she knows they are still children, however, their skills by far surpasses the professionals, whoever they are… they were trained to observe their surroundings, and it won't be much of a surprise to her if he was the one that noticed the gates were electrocuted. As much as she hates to admit though… he does look cute…
The others were still in their rooms, all sound asleep due to the lack of a comfortable sleeping place last night and nonstop running. They were just so exhausted, however, team Taka seemed a bit well rested, but still fell asleep after being shown to their rooms. Seems like Sasuke was the only one who was curious to roam around, and that made him more seem like a threat than a guest. He had just figured out two things at his first visit and avoided them without being hurt in the process… even their students tend to forget about the quick sand and the electricity on the gates…
Back in Class B, a student darted in front of the free period and shouted…
"The visitor is in the northern woods!" he exclaimed and every student gasped and looked at each other…
"In the northern forest?"
"What happened?"
"Did he get stuck?"
"How many are they?"
Such were the questions raised and needless to say, even Natsume jolted up from his short nap and narrowed his eyes at the news. They didn't hear any commotion, but why is it that the visitor was able to get into the northern forest without trouble?
"Natsume," Ruka called, "Daijobu?" he nodded in response and stared at the students around. Mikan's eyes were filled with concern for the visitor. She was still a bit scared of Mr. Bear of course, but that was all in the past, and it was a test to see if she indeed has an Alice. But for an outsider to be in the woods… she cringed at the thought. There was no rocket that shot out of the sky, so maybe they got stuck on the quick sand, but having no rabbits in their possession they eventually wasn't able to ask for help…
She stood up from her seat and ran out of the class, her concern for their safety getting the better of her and darted off towards the teacher's lounge…
Well then… here you guys go! And happy 18th anniversary for my parents!
