High School Life

Chapter 7 – The Akatsuki and a Twist?

Sasori's POV

'Daamn, frickin headache! Ughh..' I ran a hand through my crimson red hair as I was walking to the hang out place of my friends'. Surprisingly, they still remember me all the way from kindergarten. We've been friends since then but after I finished elementary school my family had to move to Osaka because of my father's business job. So I haven't seen them since. We call our group of friends as The Akatsuki. Sakura and I have known them for years but she didn't know that they study at KHS too. Hmm, maybe I'll tell her today or maybe I could surprise her... I opened the door and just as I was going inside a blonde blob glomped me a.k.a my annoying best friend Deidara.

"DAANNAAAAAA~!" Deidara called as he glomped me more. I was getting annoyed, why is he my best friend again? Whatever. "Get off me you idiot!" I yelled at him. "You're mean, yeah." Deidara pouted as he got off me and sat down with the others. Everyone was there already: Itachi, Kakuzu, Kisame, Hidan, Konan, Pein, Zetsu, Tobi and obviously Deidara. "You're late, you fucker! Jashin-sama is now mad!" Hidan shouted. Some of them sweatdropped at his words, I just shrugged and sat down. Every morning is just like this, Pein discusses about world domination..blah blah blah. Then Deidara will annoy the hell out of me and Kakuzu will bet over something stupid with Hidan to earn more money. The usual morning. Then I decided to tell them about my sister.

"Hey guys! Do you still remember my sister? Sakura?" I asked them.

"Oh you mean pinky? Yeah, I remember her." Kisame said.

"SAKU-CHAAAANNN~, yeah. I miss Saku-chan." Deidara pouted yet again.

"Hn I remember that pipsqueak." Itachi smirked.

"Yeah! Tobi remembers Saku-chan! Saku-chan is cute!" Tobi exclaimed.

"Sakura? Oh I remember her. She was always with us back then, until you guys moved to Osaka that is." Konan said in a a matter of factly tone.

"Why'd you ask Sasori- danna?" Deidara asked curiously.

"She studies here too. She's a sophomore this year and I was just thinking that maybe we could surprise her. Then just hang out like we always did back then." I explained to them.

"Tobi likes the idea~! Let's do it!" Tobi said as he jumped up and down.

BRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGG

"Hn sounds great. Let's go to my house after school and we'll do it there." Itachi said. The rest of them nodded, even Pein. I know most of them misses my little sis. This will be a great surprise for her. I smirked as I stood up and exited the place. The others followed suit and went to their first classes.

Meanwhile with Sakura and the gang

The gang was walking to Home Economics class. The girls were still gossiping about something girly while the boys were bickering at each other except the two prodigies of course. Those two were smirking at each other both thinking that they would win the challenge. As they went inside the class, the other students we're already there but the teacher wasn't. The gang then walked to their seats and sat down. A few minuites later the teacher arrived. She placed her things on her desk and sat down on her chair.

"Okay class listen up! For your projects I want you to divide your group of fives to 3:2 (A/N: Do you get it? Like their group of 5 will be consisted of a trio and a duo, so like 3:2.) and do it at two of your groupmates' house and you will not do it here! Do you understand?" The students nodded. "Any questions?" Kurenai-sensei asked then one student raised his hand. "Uhhm sensei? Why can't we do the project here instead?" The boy asked. "I have a headache today so I don't want any kind of chatter." Kurenai rubbed her temples as she explained. "Now we will learn about..." BLAH BLAH BLAH. Sakura wasn't listening to the teacher instead she was listening to her Ipod's music. Her eyes perked up as her favorite song played. She sang the lyrics softly but loud enough for Sasuke to her them.

Take me as you are
Push me off the road
The sadness I need this time to be with you

Sakura sang as she doodled on her notebook. 'Hn, she has a great singing voice.' Sasuke inwardly smiled, her voice made him happy but he's not gonna admit that out loud. Sasuke then decided to join in her singing.

(Sasuke)

I'm freezing in the sun
I'm burning in the rain
The silence I'm screaming
Calling out your name

Sakura looked at Sasuke, she was surprised. She wasn't expecting Sasuke to hear her singing. Sakura blushed a slight tinge of pink due to embarassment but it dissapeared quickly as soon as it came. Sasuke smirked at her. Sakura just continued singing signaling Sasuke that she doesn't mind him singing sofly with her. They both sang.

(Sakura and Sasuke)

And I do
Reside in your light
Put out the fire with me and find
Yeah you lose the side of your circles
That's what I'll do if we say goodbye

(Sakura)

To be is all I got to be
And all that I see
And all that I need this time

(Sasuke)

To me the life you gave me
The day you said goodnight

Sakura smirked at the Uchiha. "Not bad Uchiha..You have a good singing voice." She teased. "Same to you too, pinky." Sasuke smirked. "Whatever cockatoo." Sakura looked away and continued her doodling. 'You're more interesting than I thought, Haruno. I just can't believe you forgot about me already.' Sasuke thought to himself as he fiddled with his necklace that was dandling on his neck. 'I wonder if you still have the other piece.' He thought as he place the necklace inside his shirt.

BRRRRIIIIIIINNGGG

"Okay class dismissed." Kurenai-sensei said as she stood up and exited her classroom. The students did the same.

Sasuke and the gang walked to their second class which was Advanced Science II with Orochimaru. From the rumors Sakura heard, that teacher was bizarre cause first of all he looks like Michael Jackson or a damn pedophile. He always have this weird accent while saying 'S'. Sakura shuddered at the thought. 'I hope he isn't that bad.' Sakura thought. She then opened the door and walked inside. "Well hello there. Glad you decided to join usssssss" A hissing voice said. Sakura stiffened as she slowly looked up at the person who said that sentence it was their sensei for Adv. Science, Orochimaru. 'I spoke too soon. He IS that bad.' Sakura thought as she sweatdropped. "G-gomen O-orochimaru-sensei." She stuttered, her face flushed from embarassment. "Very well then. You may now go to your ssssseatsss." Orochimaru hissed as he walked to his desk. Sakura and the others walked to their desks and sat down. "Okay classs. Today we will learn about the rattle ssssnakess body. If you complain you will have detention with me after school." Orochimaru said as he wrote the body parts of a rattle snake. The students groaned. "Ughh sensei! We already learned that yesterday!" The knuckle-head blonde named Naruto said as he placed his feet on top of his desk. "Uzumaki! Detention after school! Put your feet down now!" Orochimaru yelled. Naruto cowered in fear. "Nice going dobe." Sasuke smirked at his best friend. "S-shut up you teme!" Naruto stuttered. "You're starting to sound like Hinata now, you dobe." Sasuke teased. At the mention of her name, Hinata flushed a deep shade of red as she twiddled her pointer fingers. "H-hey Hinata-chan? Are you sick or something? You're all red!" Naruto said as he placed his hand on her forehead. With this, Hinata coudn't take the closeness anymore as she fainted right then and there. "O-oi! Hinata-chan? Wh-what happened? SOMEONE HELP!" Naruto panicked. Orochimaru heard Naruto's plea and walked to his and Hinata's desk. Orochimaru sighed. "Naruto! Go take her to the infirmary now!"

Naruto then hurried to the Infirmary with Hinata in his arms but before he exited the classroom he heard this little statement from Karin-bitch...Oops sorry I mean Karin. "Heh. Looks like the blue headed weak bitch couldnt handle the closeness. Pathetic." Karin stated as she and her posse laughed. Naruto got pissed at the red head. He layed Hinata on Ino's desk as he made his way to Karin who is still laughing at her little joke. "Who are you calling weak, Karin-bitch?" Naruto yelled at her as she gripped her wrist tightly. "N-naruto-kun! We we're talking about someone else, honest!" Karin yelped. "Oh don't Naruto-kun me! Once she wakes up you're going to apologize to her and mean it! Do you understand, you little fucker?" Naruto threathened as he let go of her wrist and carried Hinata to the Infirmary.

"Woah...what just happened?" Kiba asked.

"Troublesome." Shikamaru yawned.

The others sweatdropped at his 'troublesome' reply... while the girls we're worried about Hinata but they were relieved that Naruto was there to catch her, Hinata will be so happy to know that it was HE who saved her. After all the commotion, Sasuke took out a sticky note and wrote something on it and placed it on the cover of Sakura's notebook when she wasn't looking. Sasuke inwardly smiled as he remembered the time when he gave Sakura their necklace.

-+=- FLASHBACK-+=-

A 6 year old Sasuke was at the swings waiting for his pink haired best friend. Today was the last day they get to be together because her family was moving to Osaka. Sasuke saddened when he heard the news. He sighed as he looked at the two necklaces dangling in his hands. The necklaces were in a shape of the Uchiha fan if you put them together. One of them has the word 'Best' engraved on it while the other one has the word 'Friends' on it. Sasuke was going to give the other one to Sakura today before she leaves for Osaka. Speaking of, she was running towards the swings where Sasuke was. When she reached the place, she immediately hugged her bestfriend tightly. "Sasuke-kun! I don't wanna leave!" She cried.

Sasuke hugged her back and said "Sakura-chan! You know I don't want you to leave. Please stop crying!" Sasuke pleaded as he let go of his bestfriend who was now crying hysterically. "Here. I have something for you to remember me and our friendship by.." He said as he took out the two necklaces and showed them to Sakura. She gaped at the sight of the necklaces. They were beautiful and shiny. Sasuke took one and walked behind Sakura. "Put your hair up Saku-chan.. I'm gonna put this one on you." He said. Sakura did what she was told. Sasuke then wrapped the necklace around her neck and fastened it. Sakura touched the necklace on her neck. "Ne ne Saku-chan, promise me you'll remember me and our friendship forever!" Sasuke smiled.

"Of course Sasuke-kun! Hey, let me put your necklace on you." Sakura said as she took his necklace and put it on his neck. She smiled. After a while of hanging out and laughing, Sakura and Sasuke's mothers called them in for dinner. Tomorrow was the day that Sakura's going to leave. Sakura frowned. "Hey Sasu-kun?" She called. "Yea-" Sasuke didn't finish because Sakura's lips were upon his. He blushed furiously, eventhough it was only a short and chaste kiss. Sakura pulled away after 10 seconds, she too was blushing madly. "Well Sasu-kun, I gotta go..my mom's starting to get mad." Sakura kissed his cheek and bid goodbye. Sasuke stood there, taking all of what happened during the past few minutes in. "Sasu-chan! DINNER!" Sasuke's mother yelled causing Sasuke to snap out of his daze. "Coming!" Sasuke shouted as he ran towards his house, smiling.
