Sasuke once again walked into the Biology classroom on Monday morning. It had long since become his most dreaded class. He just wanted to get in there one day and be able to work and leave without having to stay ninth with Orochimaru. It didn't look like he was going to be that lucky.
"Sasuke, ninth in here again please." He said softly as he walked by.
Naruto was sitting behind Sasuke. When he heard this he said, "Sasuke, we have that detention with Kakashi tonight. He'll fail us if we don't show."
"Oh, that's right," Sasuke said, inwardly thanking Naruto, "Sorry Mr. Sannin I can't today."
Orochimaru glared slightly but walked away as the bell rang. Sasuke walked next to Naruto out of the classroom, as soon as they'd left he said, "You didn't need to do that."
"Yes I did," Naruto replied, "I can't really sit around and do nothing can I?"
Sasuke said nothing in response to this as they walked towards Kakashi's classroom. When they entered Naruto said, "Kakashi we're staying ninth for you."
"Uh, why?" Kakashi said looking up from his bright book.
"Because we can."
"Of course."

Naturally, Sasuke and Naruto showed up ninth in Kakashi's room. They took two chairs and set them in front of his desk where he was pretending to grade papers. Sasuke knew better though, he had Icha Icha opened up in front of him. Sasuke wondered how he ever managed to get anything done when he was always reading that damned book.
"Kakashi, you pervert," Naruto said loudly.
Kakashi looked up, startled. "I was getting to the best part!"
"Sure you were. Now be a good teacher and grade papers."
Kakashi sighed and slipped the book back into his pocket. He took out a red pen and looked down at the paper on top of his pile. The handwriting was completely illegible. Taking out another paper to grade he said, "Is there a reason you two are here?"
"We needed somewhere to stay." Sasuke answered, turning to log onto the computer.
"You couldn't just go home?"
"Nope," Naruto said, watching Sasuke type in a website address.
"Could you at least work?"
"What's the point of that?"
Kakashi just shook his head turning back to his papers.
Sasuke was on yahoo music, looking for music videos to watch.
"Emanuel," Naruto said.
"What if I don't want to listen to Emanuel?" Sasuke said to the computer screen.
"Do it!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes and went to Emanuel's page. He clicked on one of the videos.
"She puts her lips to a bottle of cola
I watch the kiss and it turns me on"
The volume was rather loud, and there were a few other working people in the classroom. Kakashi looked up at the two but they ignored him, they were talking about something. He heard something about "Uber cool ninjas."
"Relax, relax and let these sexes of your reflex act"
Kakashi sighed; of course they would listen to a dirty song at high volume. While in school no less. Though it was sort of hypocritical of him to think anything against it. "Sasuke, turn it down."
"Sway so sway, you know you taste so good
This is the night you are the fire
Come on, come on, come on
Sway so sway, and we melt into the floor as one."
Sasuke shot a look in Kakashi's direction and turned the music down just a tiny bit, the difference wasn't really noticeable. At that moment (to Kakashi's horror) Tsunade (the superintendent) walked by his classroom. Undoubtedly the sound of "We press our skin and though it resists, oh I slip inside" attracted her attention to the open door of the room.
She walked into the room and, not to her surprise, saw Naruto and Sasuke sitting at the computer that was the source of the dirty music. "Naruto." she said.
Naruto turned around, once he got a glimpse of her he jumped up and yelled, "Old hag!" Then hugged the poor superintendent.
His remark seemed to be completely false. She seemed quite young and pretty. She had long blonde and almond-shaped brown eyes. Not to mention a chest with quite a bit of surface area. But she appeared young because she aged gracefully.
"That's Ms. Kage to you brat." she muttered but smiled all the same. She had known Naruto since his birth.
"Whatever you say hag."
"We give it all, and fade away."
"Uh, Naruto, hate to break it to you kid but you really shouldn't be listening to music that loud. Especially with lyrics like that." she said, trying to play her part. "But of course your teacher wouldn't object."
Kakashi looked up at her and smiled. The upturned 'u' eyes and crinkle in his mask indicated this.
Tsunade rolled her eyes. "Whatever, it was good to see you brat but I have a meeting to get to." She sighed wearily, "I need a drink." she said as she walked away.

The rest of that week and the next Sasuke was once again in Orochimaru's room. Orochimaru had asked Sasuke away from Naruto or anyone else. He had been suspicious of their detention with Kakashi. Though Sasuke denied having told anyone he was harshly punished anyway.
And he was hiding it from Naruto. Naruto had asked him if he'd stayed with Orochimaru and Sasuke had denied it. He either said he hadn't stayed ninth at all or said he'd stayed with someone else. It had taken some convincing but finally Naruto believed that there was nothing happening during ninth period in Orochimaru's room. This was a complete lie. It had only been getting worse.
Friday three weeks after the ninths with Orochimaru had started was the worst day yet. Orochimaru kept trying to push Sasuke a bit further, do a little more. Every time Sasuke tried to fight it and refuse Orochimaru would punish him, which usually meant beating him up. On that Friday, Orochimaru was still pressing himself against Sasuke as the bell rang. Sasuke made to try and leave but Orochimaru harshly grabbed his arms. "Oh no, you haven't taken care of me yet." This resulted in Sasuke not leaving until fifteen minutes after ninth period had ended. He stumbled out of the room. Orochimaru had forced him onto awkward positions and his joints hurt. As soon as he had left the Science wing he began running. He headed straight to Kakashi's classroom. He was relieved to see Kakashi closing his door as he rounded the corner.
"Sasuke, why are you still here?" Kakashi said looking mildly surprised.
Sasuke shook his head, "Just take me home." He began to walk down the hallway for the exit. Kakashi walked after him.
When they were seated in the car and waiting for it to warm up Kakashi turned to Sasuke, "Is everything all right?" he asked.
"Yeah. It's all good." Sasuke said, staring out the passenger side window.
"Why do I doubt that?"
Sasuke shrugged, "I don't know. I'm fine."
"Where were you staying, Sasuke?"
"Nowhere."
Kakashi furrowed his brows slightly. "Sasuke-"
"Drop it."
Kakashi put the car in drive and drove through the empty parking space in front of them. He said nothing more but cast Sasuke an occasional glance. The raven was sitting with his arms crossed and he was staring blankly out the window. Kakashi had a feeling he was going to have to bring in Naruto for this one.
A/N: The song Sasuke and Naruto are listening to is "Make Tonight" by Emanuel. Awesome song.
