Once again, thanks to all who have reviewed. I loved the shocked responses I got from everyone about the principal!

Kakashi's head snapped up from his book in bewilderment, he wasn't entirely sure he had heard the student representative correctly. Looking at the front of the room, he realised he had. There stood Orochimaru, smiling boldly (not a pretty sight might I add) at the new students as they clapped. Sasuke's reaction was much like Kakashi's; the only difference was that Sasuke's eyes were filled with a strange mix of fear and desire. Sasuke's head filled with terrifying recollections of the Chuunin exam while the curse seal on his shoulder began to burn.
Sakura was stunned and slowly turned to see the dark look in Sasuke's eyes. Naruto, who was at first gripped with shock, started to frown and stare with disdain at Orochimaru. Joey, Tristan, Yugi and Tea clapped obediently like the rest of the crowd, all unaware of the danger Orochimaru possessed.
Orochimaru stepped forward to speak while Kakashi swiftly put his book away and tensed, however he did not attack.
"Welcome," Orochimaru began as he scanned the crowd, "firstly, I would rather it if you all called me Headmaster, and secondly-" Orochimaru suddenly stoped mid-sentence as his eyes caught the sight of Sakura, Naruto and his possible future body host, Sasuke. This brought a surprised, greedy smile to Orochimaru's face. His satisfied mood was cut short as Orochimaru examined the crowd and caught glimpse of Kakashi.
"You will be showed around the school for the rest of today," Orochimaru said hastily as he turned swiftly and walked out of the room, "normal scheduled classes begin tomorrow."
For a few seconds after Orochimaru's departure, everyone in the cafeteria remained deadly silent. The other teachers surrounded in the room, the only adults, looked at each other in question.
Eventually a man with white hair and glasses stepped forward. Naruto, with a frown, recognised him as a subordinate of Orochimaru, Kabuto.
As Kabuto began to talk to the students, Kakashi slipped away in the shadows and began to follow Orochimaru. Following Orochimaru through the many winding corridors of the castle-like school, proved to be a difficult task while trying to remain undetected. Fortunately, Orochimaru seemed to have something on his mind and remained oblivious as Kakashi followed closely in pursuit. Eventually Orochimaru reached a dimly lit hallway that ended with a huge set of double red doors, Orochimaru glided purposely toward it. With immense force, Orochimaru slammed both doors inward and strode in with anger. Kakashi watched silently from the shadows of the corridor.
"Bakura, we have a problem!" Orochimaru roared as soon as he stepped into the room. Kakashi couldn't see what, or who, was inside but could hear the voices quite clearly.
"I know," Bakura replied mockingly, "we just ran out of ice cream."
"Don't play jokes with me!" Orochimaru cried, "…there was a full tub in the fridge last night."
"And now, it's gone."
"Gah, this isn't important! Some great plan this turned out to be, somehow, you ended up enrolling a few enemy ninja's of mine to this school!"
"Did I?" Bakura asked with disinterest.
"Yes, Kakashi-"
"Ah…I do remember speaking to someone with that name…sounded like a dork."
Outside Kakashi restrained himself from bursting into the room to defend his ego.
"If they find out-" Orochimaru started.
"Relax, they won't have time, they're bound to put a foot wrong here and when they do…" Bakura left the rest of his sentence unsaid.
"That's not what worries me. There is this one boy, Sasuke, who I would like you not to interfere with. I have my own plans for him, you see-"
"Really Orochimaru, what you do in your own time is none of my concern, as such; I really don't want to know what you plan to do with him."
"God no, not like that! And would you stop cutting me off alrea-"
"No, now go."
With a final grunt of frustration Orochimaru turned swiftly from the room and headed back down the corridor. By then, Kakashi was long gone.

As the day wore on, Yugi could sense the tension. Although he didn't really know much about Naruto, Sasuke or Sakura, they had seemed to be pretty fun to hang around. Well, not anymore. The three had stopped talking and Yugi could practically feel the anxiety that seemed to be radiating from them. A man with white hair and glasses, who had earlier introduced himself as Kabuto, now took the new students for a tour around the school. For some reason, Yugi noticed Naruto glaring at the man constantly.
Tea, who usually stood with Sakura, now walked with Yugi, Tristan and Joey.
"Do you know what's wrong with them?" Joey asked Tea while pointing to the three ninja's discreetly.
"I honestly have no idea."
"Well, something must be up; they weren't acting like this before." Yugi said.
Tristan frowned, "maybe they don't like the headmaster, they did started acting this way when they saw him."
Joey blanched, "I don't blame them, did you see how creepy he looked?"
Yami suddenly spoke up in Yugi's mind, he reminded me of my grandmother.
"You have a grandmother?" Yugi asked.
Had, yes. My grandmother also used to be my grandfather.
"...oookay, then. Don't really want to know."
Kabuto continued to take the students around the school. The classrooms looked normal besides the fact the desks and chairs were black. They even had blackboards instead of whiteboards.
"What is with this schools fascination with the colour black?" Tea asked looking around nervously. Yugi and the others shrugged.
There wasn't that much else to see around the school and Kabuto ordered all the students to return to their dorms.
"The only times you may come out of your dorms today will be for lunch and dinner." Kabuto had said before leaving the students to return to their rooms.

Joey walked into his dorm and sweat dropped; both of the beds in this had been broken by Naruto. It wasn't that Joey really minded, it had been fun at the time, but the thought of sleeping on the floor wasn't too appealing to him. As Joey walked in he noticed black clothing had been placed on the beds.
"You've got to be kidding me." Joey said as Naruto walked in.
Naruto walked to his bed and dragged his mattress out of the broken wood without speaking a word to Joey. He then collected the wood and put it all in the corner of the room. Joey, thinking it was a good idea, did the same. At least he wouldn't be sleeping on the floor now. Naruto remained silent until he noticed the black clothing.
Looking up at Joey Naruto frowned, "Do we seriously have to wear this?"
Joey looked at the ugly black uniforms, "I'm pretty sure we do."
Naruto grimaced and flopped on to his bed, "we're gonna die."
Joey agreed and within a few minutes of the two boys talking, Naruto stoped being so depressed and returned to his usually silly, cocky self. Joey was relieved.
•°o.O `·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.· O.o°•
Sasuke had reached the room before Yugi and when Yugi arrived he found Sasuke staring out the only small window they had in the room. Tentatively Yugi sat down on his bed and spoke up, "are...you alright? You and your friends seemed pretty down before so..."
Sasuke turned to Yugi, "It's nothing."
The two boys didn't speak to each other for the rest of the day but the tension seemed to lesson and for that, Yugi was thankful.
•°o.O `·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.· O.o°•
Tea's bed was on the furthest side of the room, directly next to the window; Sakura's was next to hers while the other girl, Kath, had her bed closest to the door. That was where all three girls sat in silence now. Kath was reading a book and Tea took this time while she thought Kath wasn't listening to talk to Sakura.
"Are you okay?" she had asked at first, Sakura hadn't responded.
Suddenly Sakura looked up and smiled, "I'm fine, Tea, really. It's just that this school is weird."
Tea smiled too, "I know what you mean."
"And tomorrow, we have to wear these disgusting uniforms." Sakura said as she held up her black dress.
Tea's eyes widened, "my goodness, that bow tie could knock someone out in one swipe!"
Sasuke pondered, "It could actually be handy..."
Tea and Sakura laughed.
"Yep, tomorrow we officially become students at Jigoku High."
"Can't say I'm looking forward to it..."

And so the plot thickens. Now excuse me while I go buy Bakura some more ice cream...
