A/N: Hey, it's me again. Well, I think I should just clear some things:

toboeskayou: I don't know if you received the message I sent you. But anyways, there are two punk rock bands. One band is like the Pussycat Dolls and another sings songs like "With Love"by Hilary Duff and "So Over It" by Katherine McPhee. Thanks a bunch for your review and for your help!!!

Ok, now onwards with the story, (SPOILER ALERT!) which explores and explains about the past.

I had been slowly making my way to Tsunade's office. Yes, I know what you're thinking. Who in their right mind kept TSUNADE, of all the damn people here, HER as the principal of this so-called esteemed institute! No wonder it's like a mental asylum here. I haven't even gotten my dormitory number yet.Figures…

I reached a door with the word "Office" splashed across it. Of course I knocked first before opening, as that was only polite.

"Come in," a tired and exasperated voice called.

I opened the door and was immediately enveloped by a thick sheet of darkness. Somebody had closed the door in a hurry and turned on a single lamp, the spotlight shining on me. Again. Using my nose, I could smell the scents of five people in the room, three males and two females, one being of demon descent.

"I'm pretty sure you know the reason why you have been summoned here Miss Taisho." Tsunade addressed me.

"Yes Principal Tsunade." came the impromptu reply.

She continued, "I think you should be grateful to Serenity here for saving your neck out there. Quite LITERALLY."

"I already have Tsunade and she knows it. You can ask here yourself if you like." I was sure one of those shadowy figures was Serenity, who has always been through thick and tough with me. My female sensei that had taken me to the Land of Demons in the first place to train, who had also managed to give me a brief period of happiness and tranquility; all for my benefit. Well, somewhat. I mean it was HER fault that I got screwed up in this mess. I'm not trying to put the blame on her or anything. Nope, I like her too much to. She's like my mother in a very strange way. We look so alike and we share many things in common too. It's often pretty scary at our alikeness. Is that even a word?

"Hm," she said, apparently in contemplation. "You obviously know what you committed was a felony act indeed. A VERY, VERY, VERY grave one indeed." She was staring directly into my eyes now.

I slouched back in my chair.

Oh God, how many times must I go through this?!?! It's like they're doing this on purpose to torture and bore me to death! Make it stop!!

"Yes, I know. So many people have lectured me on my disgraceful conduct."

"Then why did you commit something that serious?" Concern was now laced in her voice. "Serena, why?"

"Hn, I have my reasons…" I shrugged, looking anywhere in the darkness but in her face. I get upset whenever I disappoint anyone. It makes me feel like they expected so much from me, but I wasn't able to fulfill it and that I broke their trust and faith in me. It's a curse I've had since childhood. It's probably one of the factors that made me a lonely, miserable girl back in Suna. [A/N: Suna is the Village Hidden in the Rain

"May I ask without being impertinent as to what those reasons are?" she tried again.

To this, I made no reply.

"Lady Hokage, I can assure you that I may be able to find out the truth behind Miss Taisho's disgraceful conduct." a new voice had now spoken. Wait a minute…I know that voice. It's none other than-!

"Ibiki Moreno, I will not have your inquisitorial squad question this teenage ninja. She is still young as you know it."

"But perhaps I can-"

"Ibiki, you are the last person I would entrust this task upon despite your profound efficiency. I am sorry, but your questioning skills are not needed here. Perhaps you can find anything out from the Uchiha?" a questioning look had now occupied Tsunade's face.

When I heard Sasuke's name, I immediately looked away. I didn't want those painful memories to come up again, not in front of everybody. It was bad enough I had nightmares about them so often.

"He still doesn't remember anything Lady Hokage." another male spoke up. With complete horror, I realized who it was. What the hell was HE doing HERE?! The man that had destroyed my brief period of happiness and forced me to go to this shit-hole. That man was none other than my former sensei, Kakashi Hatake, from whence I was a genin. Yeah, the jounin with a mask covering most of his face, leaving only an eye visible. His other eye has the Sharingan, an Uchiha specialty. How he got it, I still don't know. I must remember to ask Serenity this. I'm sure she knows.

Here's the story of why I now despise and hate my former sensei whom I used to think strong and clever when it came to fighting: When my former teammates and him went to mess around with us (as in my pals from my brief period of happiness and I), they knew what the outcome would be. My duty was to prevent Kakashi from reaching Kyuubi-Naruto. So I proposed a "First One to Lose Blood Loses" challenge for fun and entertainment. Because I am a miko (priestess) I can heal my wounds when I focus my miko chakra. This is not "cheating" as he was a jounin and I was not. And, he didn't say, "No regenerating allowed Serena." SO DON'T CALL ME A CHEATER!!!

Anyways, I was about to win, but at the last moment, Kakashi had PRETENDED that he was giving up the challenge, and me the stupid idiot I am, let my guard down. At that moment, he found his opportunity and…and…and…UGH! I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE HOW WRONG IT IS IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE TO KISS YOUR FORMER STUDENT!!!!! THAT TOO RIGHT ON THEIR LIPS!!!!!! DOUBLE UGH!! He later said that that was an act of "saving my life and bringing me to the right path on the road of life." Yeah, as if. That just makes you a pervert PLUS molester Kakashi. Why he did THAT of all the options he had, I still have no idea. He could have killed me and probably received some kind of reward for lagging my dead body back.

However, the plus side is that I actually got to SEE Kakashi's face without his mask on! And I'm the only one! So now, I use that as blackmail against him. Mwahahahahaha! Who said little girls were made of sugar, spice, and everything nice? Oh yeah, that was the "Powerpuff Girls" show. Man, was that show retarded or what! Oh yeah, getting back to the whole Kakashi without his mask on thing, I'll leave you in suspense of what was under his mask…hehe…just to torture you some more…hehehe…one of my favorite pastime hobbies when I have nothing better to do…hehehehehe…!

While I was in my day-dreaming/reflecting state, the adults were obviously discussing something. Then, Tsunade brought my attention by saying:

"Ok Serena. We all have managed to agree on the terms for your new punishment, since the previous one was rejected."

A small smile crept upon my face. That was due to my loving teacher, Serenity, who always looks after me. She's actually my legal guardian you know. She saved me from death and I owe it all to her.

"Starting tomorrow, your punishment of community service shall begin for a duration of two hours daily, from 6-8 P.M. And triple that on weekends and holidays."

"But that's like 22 hours weekly!" I growled. "How the hell am I supposed to finish my homework in just TWO hours?!?! Will I get less homework than all the other students?" Hey, it was worth a shot.

Oh well, at least it's better than any kind of physical pain or torture, like pouring liquid metal in my ears or cutting off my hands or flaking my skin off and putting salt or…I think I should stop now.

"I don't know! That's your problem, not mine and no, you will receive the same amount of homework as them. Oh wait, I forgot the best part!" She was obviously enjoying herself on this torture compromise. "You will be attending sessions with Ibiki here for one hour daily and two hours on weekends and weekdays. NO SKIPPING. I MEAN IT! If you skip even ONE session without permission from Ibiki or me, then you don't want to know what will happen to you…" Tsunade added gravely.

I sucked in my breath, knowing that there was no freaking way I was going to get out of my punishment this time. Perhaps I can use my puppy-dog face on Serenity. She can't resist it. YES! (Don't say anything about "How can she see it, the lights are turned off?" She'll be able to. There are a lot of things she's capable of doing, half of them even I don't know.)

He. There's no way she can resist my puppy-dog face when I really get to it!

"And," Tsunade continued, "don't even THINK that you can get Serenity to get you of this punishment!"

"WHAT?! Tsunade! (I never address her as Lady Hokage or Principal because I'm a rebel) How could you think I would do something like that?!" I said horrified. "You make me feel like I'm a cheating, deceiving, loser!"

"You ARE a cheating, deceiving, loser!" someone spoke up.

Jiraiya. That damn Super Pervert. I hate perverts.

"I'm sorry kid, but Tsunade's right," cut in Serenity, before I'd start an argument with Super Pervert here. "That goes beyond my power and I don't think this will kill you. Besides, it's only for your betterment." she winked. To this, Kakashi gave a throaty chuckle.

DAMN YOU ALL! I know what you all are up to. You're trying to gang up against me and take that as an advantage aren't you? I'll find a way to deal with this crap! Don't you worry Kakashi and Serenity.

"AND," Tsunade again intervened, "NO AKATSUKI BUSINESS."

Silence. [Shocker eh?

"This time, I'm DEAD ASS SERIOUS. Kakashi will make sure that you stay within the premises of this institute."

"Wait, wha-" Kakashi began.

"Yes Kakashi." Tsunade said. "You were Serena's sensei during her genin years so I am inferring that you would know at least a little about her habits. And Serenity's busy with her own work. Besides, it will keep you off your perverted books. You and Jiraiya…" she sighed, placing her head on her palm, and shaking back and forth. Kakashi grumbled under his mask about his new task that would weigh him down. It will probably cut some serious time off at the bar.

"May I go now?" I asked with all the sweetness in the world.

"Yes. Oh, I don't think you received your dormitory number. Go to the reception and tell the lady your name. It's listed there." Tsunade returned to her enormous amount of paperwork.

"Ok. Thanks." I got up from my seat and gave a scowl to Jiraiya when I passed him.

No way I'm going to let HIM touch me!

I opened the door and closed it discreetly behind me. I had to go over what had just now occurred in Tsunade's office.

Ok. So I've got two-six hours daily picking up trash thrown by sluts and man-whores in the stifling heat. To add to that, one-two hours with Ibiki, the strict as hell guy that was the proctor in my genin written exams. Damn, did he scare the living daylights out of me that time with his speech of not being a ninja anymore if we were to fail the last question. Oh, and don't forget! The perverted molester was going to watch my EVERY move. I better check whilst I'm taking a shower if I closed the window. Don't want it to be like the incident when Hidan was actually WATCHING me take a shower because I left the window open. Fortunately, he couldn't see anything below my neck. THANK GOD!

At least I'm FINALLY going to get my dorm number. Now I can unpack, take a shower (have to check), and then go to sleep. Ah! I'd love that!

I reached the reception desk and asked the lady behind it for my dorm number. It was G6-23. "G6" was the dormitory. There were twelve in total. Each had a set number of people, with rooms set aside for girls and boys separately. I wondered who my roommates were going to be. "23" was my Anbu number; the number you were referred as when you made the Anbu Black Ops. The previous ninja with the number must've died or gotten promoted.

Upon reaching my dorm, which was on the second floor, I looked down and gazed down, towards the view. It was actually quite breathtaking, which shocked me. The vivid green trees swayed gently in the calm, cool breeze. It looked like a mini forest down there, with a few clearings here and there. Probably for training or just hanging out. There were a few white swings with roofs over them and a couple of small ponds of water scattered with lily pads. The garden was gorgeous; it was like looking at a coloring book, with every color painted that you could ever think of. Their fragrance was very soothing. I spotted a few violets, roses, lilies, and musk, including cherry blossoms and magnolias. Thinking about their heavenly smell at midnight excited me and attracted my attention for the majority of the period spent gazing down. I suddenly hit a realization:

This garden is just like the one at the Taisho Manor. I loved to go at midnight and just breathe in the scents of the sweet-smelling flowers. It would soothe my frazzled nerves after a day of hard training.

"Serena! Serena! Over here!" a kunoichi waved. "Don't tell me that you forgot me already!"

When I turned around to see who was calling me, I grinned. My best friend in the whole wide world, the "Ninja of the Wind" as she was called, had also come here to Konoha High!

This is going to be fun now with her here! Get ready for parties, pranks, and a whole lot of drama!!!

A/N: Yeah, a lot of stuff about how the school is run will probably come from the boarding school I went to for two years. In my last year there, my number was G6-14. Hence, G6. However, I prefer the number "23" to "14, " so I changed it.

The next chapter is going to be a hell of a lot of drama for all you drama-lovers!!!
