Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
-Somebody to Love—Glee Cast Version
Chapter Eight: Somebody to Love
Itachi and Lily stood outside of the school, nervous for what was about to happen. They were about to spend their first day in the same school that Sasuke and Sakura went to when they were younger. Konoha Jr High was, and still is, a prestigious school for the best, the brightest...and Naruto. He was on a whole other level, and not in the good way. Lily continued to bite her lip and mumble about how this was going to be awful. Itachi tapped his foot nervously and bit the inside of his cheek, the same thing is own mother does when she is nervous.
"Come on, this will be fine," he told Lily. She looked up and smiled.
"Okay," she said, opening the door so she and Itachi could walk inside of the large building. She gulped at the sight of all the teenagers and continued forward. A few kids stopped and stared for a minute before pointing and mumbling things to their friends with wide eyes.
"That can't be true!" One boy exclaimed. He covered his mouth with his hand and attempted to squeeze himself into his own locker.
He received a few smacks in the forehead, but other than that, everyone was laughing as if it was normal for the big jock-like blonde to say this kind of stuff at 8:00 in the morning. Itachi rolled his eyes and dragged Lily toward Tsunade's office. She was still the principle, and came back to the Jr high after Sakura and the others graduated. They stood outside the door for a second, exchanging a nervous glance before knocking on the door.
"Come in!" called the ever familiar voice of Tsunade. They opened the door and walked up to the desk. Tsunade ran over and hugged the two.
"Oh, I finally get to meet you both!" she exclaimed happily. Lily and Itachi laughed nervously.
"Sakura has said some great things about you two, you sound so great," Tsunade said happily. She still looked very similar to what she looked like back when Sakura and her friends were in high school, but having a part time job at the hospital and running the school gave her a lot of money. Only two things mattered to Tsunade when it came to money: Sake and Gambling. She knew all about the ninja thing because she was still there when everyone was ushered out of that universe. Her jutsu kept her young and made it look like she barely aged.
"So, all your papers are signed, here are your schedules, matched to perfection so you won't be separated," Tsunade said to the young kuniochi and the shadow creature.
"Thank you," the hazel haired girl said. Tsunade smiled largely at her. Itachi narrowed his eyes at the principle.
"You're drunk, aren't you?" he said bluntly. Tsunade blinked and laughed.
"No," she said with a nervous laugh. She was, but she wasn't going to admit it to the police chief's son.
Itachi looked over his schedule and looked at Lily's.
"There is one class you aren't together in," Tsunade said.
"Glee club?" Itachi questioned, looking over Lily's shoulder.
"Communication's Technology?" Lily asked with a raise of her eye brow, snatching Itachi's schedule away from him.
"Computers," Itachi told her.
"I know what it is, but I love computers, so why am I in Glee Club?" Lily asked.
"I was told you have quite the voice," Tsunade said with a shrug. "You guys had better get to class, here are your locks, put them on an empty locker and tell me the number at the end of the day." She shooed the two out of her office and they ran to their first class.
"Mathematics," the two groaned.
Lily POV.
I walked into Glee Club last period and sighed. A cheerleader like blonde was directing the others harshly.
"So then we do the big finish," she said in an 'I'm-oh-so-superior' kind of voice.
"Whats the song?" I asked from behind her.
She spun around.
"You are late," she snapped furiously.
"Yeah, sorry... didn't get the memo that Geek club started at lunch," I said, looking at my watch. She looked over my outfit and sighed.
"Going for the 'el loser' look? Nice," she said with a negative glance. I sighed at her and hopped onto the stage.
"Oh, and we are doing True Colors," the blonde said.
"I'm Lily," I said with a fake smile.
"Don't care el geeko," she said rudely. "Let's just see what you got." The rest of them started to sing a simple "OoO" to the sound of the piano.
"You with the sad eyes, don't be discourage, I realise its hard to take courage in a world full of people you can loose sight of it all and darkness still inside you make it feel so small." I continued to sing the song with every singing their parts with me in the lead.
There was a small click and the door clicked shut on the other side of the hall. Itachi walked in and sat down.
"If this world makes you crazy you've taken all you can bear, you call me up because you know I'll be there... And I'll see your true colors singing through, I see your true colors, and that's why I love you, so don't be afraid to let them show your true colors... true colors..." I continued singing and smiled at him. He stared in amazement and walked forward. Still singing, I hopped off the stage and ran up to him.
"True colors... are beautiful like a rainbow," I finished, kissing him on the cheek.
"You were okay," the blonde said nervously.
"Okay!? Mel, she was awesome!" a brunette on the far side said.
"Oh S T F U Kerrii!" Mel said angrily.
"Oh whatever, you're just pissy 'cause she's better than you are," Kerrii said angrily, tossing her sheet music to the ground.
"Oh, by the way, your songs suck and I don't want anything to do with you," she said with a smirk and went to stand by me and Itachi. "I'll be hanging with Itachi and Lily from now on... if that's okay with you two." She said, gesturing to me and Itachi who were locked in each other's arms.
"Of course," I said kindly.
"Look, you and she shadow brat and only last so long you vamp," Mel whispered as she stormed past. I turned around and ran after her, grabbing her arm.
"How do you know about that?" I hissed. Mel looked at the others, and dragged me out of the room and down the hall.
"I'm like Itachi, except worse. Look," Mel said, and a small amount of her forehead quivered. Suddenly, an eye opened on her forehead and I stared in amazement.
"Neat trick," I gulped. "Shadow child?"
"Yeah, one of the three in the school, not including Itachi," Mel said. "I wouldn't count him anyway. He's the prince, royalty to the shadow nation."
"Royalty?" I questioned. Mel nodded, and sauntered off.
"No... Fucking... way," I gasped, clasping my hands over my mouth.
Sasuke POV.
I sat down at my desk again only to have the phone ring, but this time it was my cellular. I pulled it out and clicked the talk button.
"Hello?" I said in an even voice.
"Daddy, Rei is being a meanie!" Emi said from the other line with a small giggle.
"No! Emi stole my train! Give it Emi! No! Don't throw it—hey! It doesn't belong up there! I can't reach," Rei screamed from behind her.
"I only threw it on the fridge you baby!" Emi complained.
"So? I can't reach it from there! I'm getting Auntie Hina!" Rei screamed, and I could hear his footsteps as he stalked off.
"Tehe~" Emi giggled sweetly.
"You shouldn't do that Emi," I said.
"He woke Itachi from his nap and de...decapitatyred my Barbie!" Emi complained.
"It's decapitated Honey," I said with a sigh. "It's almost 3:30 so Itachi and Lily should be home soon, same with Mommy, you go apologise to Rei and Auntie Hina."
"Yes Daddy, I didn't mean to. He just gets on my nerves. So does Itachi... he's always kissing Lily and it's annoying," Emi said. "They aren't even married, so they shouldn't be kissing like you and Mommy do." I laughed into the receiver.
"Its okay, Emi; just ignore them," I told her with a small sigh.
"Okay, buh-bye Daddy," Emi said sweetly, and the line went dead. I spun around in the chair and the phone slipped from my hand and dangled by the cord. My mind was still racing with the images from that water fall.
"The darkness..." I whispered, realising what it meant. I grinned at the window.
Why was the darkness so tempting?
A/N
So, this is short... and as all you Naru-tards can see, I'm bringing the real Sasuke into the story a bit.
Sasuke has started off really OOC, but you'll see what happens to him with Itachi's help ;)
BTW, I'm going on a school trip for three days, so this won't be updated for a while after I get back on Wen.
See y'all next chapter!
