Shannie: Exams were finally over. -Wave a flag with anti-exam prints on mount everest!
Sorry for taking so long because of all the exams and blah blah blah. Forgive me. -Kneel on the floor-
i'll be updating more regularly sice holidays are coming. -scream in delight- ^6^
Human physiology passed by with a breeze. Leaving all the work to Naru was the right choice after all. As for his case, Sasuke basically spent the whole of the lesson admiring the brother he missed so much and the counterpart of the one he loved. For a moment, Sasuke felt like a stalker.
Oh Jesus, I'd sinned. Sasuke mocked at himself. When had he developed a brother complex and stalking habits? God damn. He was sure that sooner or later, he will be turning into Hinata, stalking Naruto even when he was not at school.
The next class was none other than P.E, physical education. Sasuke scowled at the piece of paper, known to the world as timetable or schedule, hoping that his glare would miraculously won over the piece of paper and the timetable would change.
However, Sasuke found out that it was rather childish of him to try to fight with a piece of paper. A non-living thing, for crying out loud! He stuffed the piece of paper into his bag angrily. Actually, Sasuke has nothing against P.E, unlike Shikamaru, but he has a lot against the P.E teacher, Maito Gai.
Grumbling under his breath as he changed to his sports outfits, he could only hoped that this Gai would be out-of-character and act normally for once.
However, God somehow had developed a mutual hatred for Sasuke. Thus to make his life worse than hell, He made all Gai with the same character as the Ninja World throughout the dimensions.
Sasuke swore as the green beast made his flashy appearance. Sasuke glared at the heaven. Even without his sharingan, he was sure that The Man up there was smirking manically at his pathetic state.
"What's the point of having P.E?" Shikamaru groused, face showing ennui. "Like it's name suggest, P.E, Pointless Exercise. I'd rather watch the clouds."
Sasuke gazed over at the bored genius with apathy; however, he didn't deny that Shikamaru's words made sense. P.E really means Pointless Exercise to Sasuke. For god sake, he's a ninja. Does ninja need any more exercise? Sasuke would have pouted if he was a lesser Uchiha, but since he belonged to the most superior clan in Konoha, he just kept his face with an indifferent expression.
"Come on! My youthful students!" Gai voiced roared to life, he voiced echoed throughout the well-lit indoor sports hall. Followed by a flashy entrance consisting of several back flips and a roundhouse kick at seemingly no one.
"Give me your youthful smiles! The spring of your lifetime: the High school Period was here! Now explode all your youthfulness in this period of Physical Education!"
"Yes! Gai-sensei!" a bobbed hair guy in green yelled out joyously.
I'd never be that enthusiastic… Sasuke muttered to himself nonchalantly.
"Good! My kawaii Lee! Are you ready of more intensive training?" Gai questioned.
"Of course!" Rock Lee saluted as the whole class groaned in protest.
Fuck them all! If you want to do training, do it yourself! The class had always developed a power to communicate with each other through their mind at certain classes. It didn't take them to have the Rinnegan or the Six Path of Pein, they can think in sync especially at times like this. When two madmen in green are on the loose.
"Okay people, for today, we'll be doing this!" Gai pointed to a 3m tall horse vault.
The class stared at the mad teacher with unbelievable eyes. Is this teacher mad or something?
Sasuke gazed at the horse vault without a trace of interest. He had tougher times back at the ninja world, with trees 30m or higher. This is nothing.
"Gai-sensei! I'll do it!" Lee rose up his hand and announced proudly, ember emitting out of his brown eyes. "If I can't jump over this, I'll run around the school compound for twenty times!"
This idiot is beyond hope. The Rinnegan worked among the classmates again.
Lee stood in the direction of the horse vault, just a bit further up. He sprinted toward the tall and imposing equipment, gaining momentum as he sped up. Then, he did a magnificent jump on the trampoline. The class gaped in awe of their idiotic classmate, surprised that he had actually jumped.
With the corner of his eyes, Sasuke analyzed the whole jump. He, being a ninja, knew from the start that poor Lee wasn't going to make it. The angle from where he jumped was slightly off. Lee left foot would bump into the edge of the vault anytime no…
"Bang!"
Lee fallen off the vault and landed with a loud thud on the floor. A bump appeared on his head as Lee wailed dramatically with Gai by his side.
"Now, Lee, fulfill your promise as a man. Run towards the setting sun!" Gai pointed to the West.
What the fuck?! It's only ten in the morning! How the hell would a sunset appear at this time? The Rinnegan was very active today.
Naru was the second last to go to try out the horse vault. The class was parted like the red sea. A group of grumbling boys on one side and a group of squealing fan girls on the other. Apparently, no one passed the vault, not even once. Some just practically gave up before even attempting considering to try.
Seriously, one would have definitely deserved to receive an award from the producer of Ninja Warriors for passing this stage.
Naru took a deep breath and sprinted forward towards the trampoline. Gai prayed that at least one student would be able to make it. He jumped on the trampoline, aiding him with an adrenaline rush. He did a graceful jump. Using both of his arms to support himself to the soft cushion; he transferred his body weight towards the arm, and pushed himself forward. He did a few somersaults before landing on the mattress, kneeling on one knee and both arm outstretched as he balanced himself.
The fan girls squealed in delight as Naru trotted off, pleased with his new record.
Shikamaru hovered over Sasuke. "See?" he let out a yawn. "No way in hell or heaven you can do this."
Sasuke smirked. On the spur of the moment, he wanted to surprise everyone. Spending to much time with Tobi appears to have an adverse effect: developing a childish side to you.
"Sasu, it's okay. You don't have to do this…" Gai grabbed Sasuke hand and held it to his chest, both tenderly and dramatically. "You have asthma and…"
"It's okay. I'm a changed person now." Sasuke pulled his hand out of Gai's clasp, slightly disgusted.
Gai was stunned by the confidence the Sasuke radiated. He gave a hard smack on Sasuke's back to realize that Sasuke had firm muscles. He gaped at the contact. Giving him (Sasuke) a 'nice-guy' pose, Sasuke went before the vault.
Sasuke ran. Not sprint. He ran steadily as well as slowly approaching the imposing vault. He paused just before the trampoline. Just when everyone thought that he was about to give up, Sasuke smirked.
And he disappeared.
The class gasped in shock as a shadow from above engulfed them. Sasuke was in mid air, as if acting against gravity.
Damn, he didn't even use the trampoline! He was here just a moment ago… and the next he was up there!
Then, with a refined yet agile turn of his body, Sasuke pressed one hand on the cushion.
How could a human even do handstand on the top of this vault?!
Not even trembling the slightest Sasuke pushed himself up again. Using the time gap before he landed on the mattress, Sasuke did a series of back flips and somersaults, reflecting nothing but gracefulness in his movement.
With a light thud in the mattress, silent shock spread through the class when the used-to-be weak-and-feeble Sasu turned out to be a much more athletic than Naru.
Sasuke snubbed past Naru, smirking at the guy's dumbfounded face. At least I won him in athletics abilities. Sasuke smirked.
The recess bell rang. Sasuke walked lazily toward the cafeteria and discovered the second shocking thing for the day: Naru hates ramen.
"Sorry, can you don't eat ramen in front of me? It kinda grosses me out when you slurped the noodles and it disappeared within seconds with the slurping sounds…" Naru complained politely.
With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Sasuke smirked.
If Sasuke is in the Ninja world now, he wouldn't even bother to do it. However, with the blonde in the Ninja World speech ringing in his mind, the prank was to tempting to refuse.
"Sasuke! How can you eat your noodles silently?! Noodles are meant to be slurp! Look! Slurp!"
The blonde made rude and loud noises of slurping as Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the blonde.
"What's with that face?!" Naruto stared with the corner of his eyes. "Slurping of your noodles is an art!"
And now, he is in the Real World, where no one who knew him (in a sense) was here. Thus he could afford to be a little naughty since no one is watching him after all.
He went to sit beside Naru with a small tray of food in his hands. He lips lifted up slightly. "Do you mind if I sit here?"
"S-sure…" Naru stuttered. Sasu really wants to be friends with me. I'm so happy! Hohoho…
Sasuke smirked maniacally at the tray of food on the table. He picked up his chopsticks and scooped up strings of flour. He glanced over at Naru, unhappy that Naru was in his own world, too happy to notice the food in Sasuke's hand.
Never mind… I'll make him notice. Sasuke smirked wickedly. He sucked in all the air, together with the noodles, to create a rude, loud, uncouth slurping sound.
Naru eyes widened at the scene before him. He paled visibly at the tray of ramen in front of him, as though ramen was a work of Satan. Sasuke noticed the lack of color of Naru's face, even though the expression on Naru's face was priceless, Sasuke stopped.
For one reason: he wasn't ready to destroy the relationship he established with Naru like what he did to Naruto.
The thought of Naruto made Sasuke heart twinge in pain. It was a deep scar in the depth of Sasuke's heart and soul. The only thing he felt guilty and regret for: severing his bonds with Naruto. Yet he knew that it was impossible for them to return to the past.
The two teenage boys ate in silence, unwillingly to disturb either party though it had turned out to be rather awkward
"Naru! Sasu! Oh! The two of you bonding! Oh, the two of the three lotus of Class Konoha shall bloom for this term!" Gai interrupted the awkward silence between the two.
But for some reason, Sasuke was glad for it.
Apparently, it was about some sports carnival with a flashy name called the Chunin Exams. Sasuke almost gagged at the name. Basically a marathon or something similar. Sasuke, Naruto and Lee will participate in this Chunin Exams. They will compete against the other classes, but the most important rivals are Class Sand and Class Sound. Actually, there should be a girl to participate in this event, but Class Konoha's girls were all busy fawning over Sasuke and Naruto, thus, Gai chose all guys instead.
Sasuke approached the next class with heavy steps. Biology, with Orochimaru…Sasuke was not enjoying this at all. Orochimaru… out of everyone… OROCHIMARU! Sasuke cursed his own fate. He hates himself at times.
Much to his shock, Orochimaru appeared to be a kind teacher. But Sasuke nearly died of laughter (mentally) when he saw Orochimaru in an office suit and wearing spectacles. Professional.
"Sasuke-kun." The pale teacher called out softly but sternly. "Please don't be late the next time."
This is really bad for my health. Sasuke applauded for his self control for not shivering in disgust. This Orochimaru seemed so… kind?!
"He may be scary and stern but actually Orochimaru-sensei is a kind and gentle person." Naru whispered into Sasuke's ear. Sasuke flinched and really choked on the Lakerol that he was eating.
How the hell did he get here? Wasn't he with Gai just now?! And, Orochimaru and kind and gentle don't fit together! It's like a square peg in a round hole! Don't make me laugh!
Sasuke forcefully swallowed his Lakerol to prevent himself from coughing any further.
Every lesson is like a battle. Except for Asuma's art lessons. But Sasuke would greatly appreciate it if he would stop smoking, wasn't it against the rules? For Kakashi, Sasuke was trying his best not to rip Kakashi's balls apart. It took a lot of control you know? I mean, can you stand a perverted teacher who kept asking about your brother's particulars? Moreover, Sasuke had a brother complex and would do anything to protect his brother from a perverted teacher.
The end-school bell finally rang, for god damn sake; Sasuke has been counting seconds for it to ring. He can't really stand to stay any longer in this madness-infected school. He wanted to escape, fast.
Sasuke was waiting for Itachi by the school gates. His patience was at his limit after a 30 minutes wait. Coming to a conclusion that his brother was busy with something, Sasuke strides out of the school.
After hours if wandering, Sasuke finally succumbed to reality.
Yes, he was lost.
Sighing as he dropped his head, Sasuke went into a shop in hope of getting a free phone call. It was too easy. Once he stepped into a shop, which he purposely chose with a female shopkeeper, the shopkeeper even wanted to give him a brand new cell phone, not to mention, a phone call.
Sasuke picked up the receiver and paused at the number pad.
DAMN IT! I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE FUCKING PHONE NUMBERS OF MY HOUSE!!!
Slamming down the receiver back to it place, Sasuke wanted stormed out of the shop but he bump into someone. Sasuke was pissed, and the poor person he bumped into was the right scapegoat for him to vent his anger on. Just when he was about to grab the person by the collar and dragged him to deserted alley to beat the living shit out of him, Sasuke paused as he recognized the person.
Itachi.
Sasuke almost cried. No other time in his life he was this relieved, to be lost and found. Ironically, due to the previous anxiety, Sasuke failed to realize that he was in a cosplay shop.
"Oh. My. Fucking. God." Sasuke said slowly. Surprised by his surroundings, more specifically, his cosplay. Before he even knew it, he was already taking down his costume and appreciating it. Damn, he missed it so much. His costume…
"Foolish little brother, if you'll want it, onii-san will buy it for you." Itachi whispered into Sasuke's ear. Sasuke shivered slightly, close to getting goose bumps, Itachi can be creepy at times.
"So… why are you so late?" Sasuke questioned. He knew that something was amiss once he saw a red fresh mark on his brother's neck.
"I was with Kaka…. " Itachi stopped mid-tracked. "Wait! It's none of your business. So do you want your cosplay or not?"
"It's okay…" Sasuke smirked. "I can pay for myse…"
Sasuke paused when he fished out his wallet to realize that he doesn't have any money with him. Damn you, Sasu! Keep some bloody money in your wallet. I'm going to kill you!
Itachi peered into Sasuke's wallet and chuckled loudly. "Foolish little brother. Save some money. Banks were never closed down. "
"I'm sure you aren't like that when you are with Kakashi." Sasuke retorted.
Itachi stuttered as a blush painted across his cheeks, "T-That's n-n-not true!"
Hn. Bulls-eye. Sasuke knew he hit right on the spot. But accepting Kakashi as Itachi boyfriend was weird. Not that Sasuke was homophobic, since he was pretty much a gay as well, but if Kakashi turns out to be Itachi's boyfriend, it would mean that he would be his brother-in-law eventually, if the relationship is successful. Anyway, if it really succeeds, Kakashi would be Sasu's b-i-l, not his.
"So, do you want it?" Itachi asked, "Or not?" the second question was rather dumb, since Itachi knew that Sasu would do anything for cosplay.
"No" was the unexpected reply.
"But Nii-san," Sasuke added. "Can I have those kunais?"
"S-Sure." Itachi nodded stiffly. Sasuke can really be the death of him. First, he hugged me while crying. Second, he changed his style. Third, he changed his attitude. Fourth, he gave up cosplay. I'm not that young to take in any more shock, I might die, you know.
Itachi bit his lips to constantly remind himself not to faint before he returned home, much to Sasuke's relief.
He can finally return home, or something close to it.
