"Well, he does kinda look like a girl." Artemis says, keeping a straight face, pointing at the Uchiha.
"My mouth! It's ruined!" Naruto scrapes at his tongue frantically while the rest of the cafeteria is either staring in horror, or laughing.
"Omigosh! You just kissed Sasuke-kun! You…you…" The tall, very thin blonde, Ino, looked like she was about to cry.
"I'm sure you two would make a wonderful couple" Artemis simply pats Naruto on the head and slowly backs away, then turns and runs, Cici close behind. Know when to run.
…Because you'll get chased by rabid fan girls. Naruto, who is still in utter shock and humiliation, has already gone into hiding.
Of course, no one likes it when someone else steals the first kiss of the guy you've been stalking since you saw him, and no one likes it when someone wishes the two a happy relationship, so now everyone wants to kill Majick. Is she amused? Yes she is. Cici, of course, is much faster, and so much less directionally challenged, so she leads the way to... Wherever the fan girls can't get them.
The boys' washroom.
"Artemis, why are we in here? We'll get in trouble!" Cici whispers in an almost inaudible voice.
Majick just shrugs it off, "it's not like there's anyone else in here," she says too soon as the sound of a toilet flushing fills the room, and one of the stall doors open. Artemis, being Artemis, does the first thing she always does. Hit first, ask questions later. So whoever it is gets a sharp whack in the head by Majick's fan.
He doubles over and nearly falls, only to save himself in time and stand up straight. Then, he gasps and points his finger dramatically, "you're…you're… A girl! Two girls! In the boys washroom!" He receives another hit in the head.
"You idiot! Not so loud, or they'll hear us!" Majick attaches her fan back onto her belt and glares, while Cici slowly pries the door open.
"They're gone" she releases her held breath.
"Wait! You can't just leave! You were in the boys washroom!" The guy points yet again.
"Dude, get a haircut, pluck your eyebrows, stop wearing tights, and maybe we'll talk," Majick says as she pulls Cici out the door.
The rabid fan girls are nowhere to be seen as the two slowly attempt to find Naruto, since he's the only one who knows where their last class is.
"How come there's three periods before lunch break anyway? Aren't there only supposed to be two?" Cici wonders aloud, although not very since she's like a mouse, and Majick just pats her on the head.
"Remember in middle school, we were sent to different ones because you're so friggin' brilliant?" Cici nods. "Well, mine had way too many students, so they worked the schedule so that each grade had a different lunch time. Didn't you notice that everyone in the caf' looked our age? This school must do it as well; the dorm buildings are huge…"
"Good point."
"And here I am thinking you're supposed to be the genius." Cici punches Artemis in the shoulder, who rubs it. "I'm lucky you're the only one who can hurt me… Ow…"
"Omigawd! There they are!" A vein pops up on Majick's temple, she stands her ground. So when the first fan girl approaches, she punches her in the gut and whacks her over the head with her beloved fan. 'Cause she's just cool like that. Cici takes the hint and goes into her fighting stance, 'cause she's even cooler like that. This, of course, causes most of the girls to back off. Most of them. Sakura and Ino stay, flipping their hair over their shoulders.
"We heard once that Sasuke-kun liked strong girls, so we took up karate!" They boasted, and got into their stances, which looked similar to Cici's but, just not.
"Oi, what are you doing?" A cool voice sweeps the empty halls as Sasuke walks around the corner, hands shoved into his pockets.
"Uchiha, get them away, or we'll be forced to rip them limb from limb." Majick says, keeping her usual straight face. Cici just blushes and attempts to keep no facial expression. Ino and Sakura are now starting to sweat slightly now, usually other girls would be trembling at the sight of them, they were the most powerful girls in school, afterall!
Well, they used to be. Sasuke doesn't seem to care about what happens to them, he just wants to watch, and keep an eye out for the dobe who kissed him.
Artemis, the only one who isn't in a fighting stance, takes a step towards Sakura, her fan behind her back. The pink-haired girl slowly, ever so very slowly, starts to step forward…Before two metal needles are thrown her way, and she gets a sloppy haircut.
Majick-Artemis flashes a toothy grin and holds up her fan, the small, thin pieces of metal holding the papar of the fan have ten-too-many. Cici, taking the other girls running off as a sign, stands normally and quietly tugs on Artemis' arm, glancing slightly at the Uchiha.
"Artemis, we have to find Naruto, class is starting in ten minutes…" Majick blinks once. Twice.
"What do we have?"
"History…"
"You there!" Majick turns around and points at Sasuke, "do you know where the history class is?" He sweatdrops, she embarrasses him in front of the entire ninth grade, and now expects him to help her?
"I have it too, follow me." Damn, there's something about her… He knew he didn't like her, and this definitely wasn't the feeling of falling in love, he was pretty sure… Maybe one day he'd figure out that she reminded him of what someone he despises used to be like.
"Hold it, we forgot our junk.: She turns and disappears around another corner, coming back in less than five minutes with both hers, and Cici's, books in her arms. Then she blinked at Sasuke, silently telling him to lead the way.
And so he does, although stopping many times by the tap on his shoulder by Cici, since Artemis always gets lost.
"I'm so gonna fail this class," Majick says before walking into the almost empty classroom, she had somehow stumbled across the class before Sasuke and Cici make it there. She drops her things onto a desk near the back corner, guessing that this was where Naruto sat. She opens one of her binders to a blank page, takes a pencil out of her case, and starts doodling. Ten minutes of absolute doodling, not looking up once, not making a sound, just doodling. After a while, the room starts to get filled with students, Sasuke and Cici came in shortly after Artemis, but they leave her alone. Naruto is nowhere to be seen.
"What!"
"He doesn't have this class."
"The freakin' hell?" Majick ripped through Cici's agenda, looking for her schedule, "are we in the wrong class!" Last period read "History" on it in neat, black printing.
"No two people have the same classes in this school, Majick," Cici says before turning around as the sensei starts to speak.
Class goes by slowly, ever so painfully slowly, and soon enough, Artemis ends up sleeping on her desk - and gets yelled at by the sensei.
"Yo, Uchiha, when is class over?" She pokes the boy in front of her and adjusts her glasses, trying to see the tiny clock from way in the back.
Speak of the Devil, the bell goes off to signal the end of the period. Yay, two more to go.
Before leaving, Majick spots a flyer stuck on the chalkboard in the classroom – one advertising the drama club. She takes the magnet off the paper and sticks the flyer into her pocket, then runs off after Cici and Sasuke, hoping they'd know where the next class is.
"I've just noticed something…" Cici states suddenly, stopping in the middle of the hall, Sasuke and Artemis turn and raise their eyebrows.
"Sasuke-san has been speaking English with us."
Majick-Artemis looks over at Sasuke, "speak."
"I'm fluent in six languages, I'd expected you to notice earlier." The Uchiha says matter-of-factly, and dodges a bonk on the head from Artemis. Of course, she doesn't hate Sasuke as much as before, but he's still an emo-kid to her.
"Majick! Cici!" A loud voice comes from behind the three of them, no one needs to guess who it is, especially since Naruto had decided to pounce on Artemis at that exact moment. So he gets a sharp whack in the head with her all-mighty fan.
"Waaaaah! Artemis-chaaaaaaaaaan! That hurts!" The blonde howls and rubs the big bump on his head as Majick crosses her arms and pastes on her usual blank/bored-out-of-her-skull face.
"N-Naruto-kun…"Hinata is seen coming up with Kiba, stuttering something about Naruto.
"Get up and tell us what damn class is next, Uzumaki," before she can whack him over the head again, Naruto gets up and avoids getting hit.
"We have science, then P.E." Naruto nods and turns, "it's this way!" And so he runs off, with Hinata and Kiba following in close pursuit. Artemis rolls her eyes and walks along behind them, making sure they're within hitting distance, Cici is beside her to make sure no one gets too badly hurt.
But of course, science is boring, thus the story skips to P.E. Why? Simply because Naruto is funny during that class.
"Basketball?" Artemis looked over at Naruto, "is that what he said? Basketball?" Her Japanese still needs some fine-tuning.
"Eh? Yeah, I'm super good at basketball! I'm-"
Neji appears beside him, "Naruto, you suck in basketball. Very, very badly."
And thus, Naruto blows a fuse and attempts to prove the Hyuuga wrong. So as class starts, he grabs a ball and dribbles, his dribbling isn't that bad, actually. But then Neji swiftly runs past and steals it, then easily throws it into the hoop. This continues on for most of the class.
Majick watches as Cici beats all the girls in the class -and some of the boys- at the game. Why? Because Cici is sporty, she just doesn't know it. All the while, Majick leans against the wall and fans herself, she can play sports no better than Naruto.
"Oi, watch-" Artemis says in unison with Gaara, who –coincidentally, is standing right next to her. Unfortunatley, their warning is unheard.
Naruto smashes into the wall.
"Tch. No wonder Uchiha calls you a dobe all the time, Uzumaki." Majick grabs Naruto's left arm, while Gaara grabs his right, they both him up. Cici and Neji are giggling in the background. No, Cici is giggling, Neji is just standing there. "You should be a bit more careful." Gaara says quietly. Naruto just continues wailing in pain and agony.
"Baka, shut up. Class'll be over in a bit…" And the beep went off to signal the end of the school day. Speak of the devil.
"This. Was the dumbest day of my life." Majick-Artemis says simply as she walks out the door.
"Where's she going?" Naruto scratches his head. He, Gaara, and Neji turn to Cici.
"Probably back to our dorm." Cici blushes, "and-I-think-I'll-go-follow-her-bye!" She says, adverting her eyes and running past the three of them.
Naruto blinks and brushes his blonde hair out of his eyes, "what's with her?" Of course, the boys all just shake their heads and wonder why girls are so troublesome.
"YOU WHAT!" Naruto, being ever so very furious, yells at the top of his lungs, the people next door can hear him very clearly. Poor Sasuke and Neji won't be able to get anything done with people like Naruto in the dorm beside 'em.
"I invited Uchiha and the Hyuugas to a karaoke night this Saturday. Gaara can come, too; he seems cool." Artemis takes a sip of her Pepsi. "Personally, I don't see why you hate the guy so much. He's just emo, not much else. Besides, he's doesn't talk all that much."
The blonde simply crosses his arms and pouts, which earns a sharp whack in the head from miss random-violence.
"Artemis, stop hitting Naruto all the time."
"But Cici, he's a such a baka!"
"Artemis, you might cause brain damage, with the strength you put into each of those whacks," Cici turns back to the cutting board, slicing a whole chicken clean in half with her pointy butcher knife. Naruto clutches his head and nods in agreement.
"But why did you hafta invite Sasuke? I thought you hated him too?" Naruto rubs his sore spot.
"Baka, I sucked up my pride and invited that Sakura girl you liked too, along with that Inu."
"It's Ino."
"Whatever."
Yes, a page shorter than usual, a very, very, late. Sorry >.
