A/ N: Hihi! here's chapter 6! hope u like it!
"talking" 'thinking' povs/places/time...(meaning / authoress's notes)
(Okay, here are some notes about the academy. Each student need to join at least 2 clubs. And the archery club is a must. (Looks at brochure) wow, didn't know that they have to have 20/20 visions to get into this school…and, the library, cafeteria, the training area for archery, the principal's office, the teacher's lounge, and a few class for beginners is at the lobby, the lowest floor of the academy.)
Since that there is some time before class, Sakura planned to go to the arts room. And she did.
Ssk and Skr…
Sakura headed towards a room in front of her. 'Made it!' she gave a thought of relief. Suddenly, she noticed a person at the back of the room looking awfully familiar. Sakura strained her eyes a bit. 'Ah! It's Sasuke-kun!'
Sure enough, the Uchiha is at the back of the room, looking at the pictures hanged up. He heard a scuffling noise behind him and turned around. His eyes widened (again…).
"Hey, Sasuke-kun!"
"Hn…" was all Sasuke managed to croak out.
Sakura stopped for a minute. A thought went to her. (Poof! Sakura turns into chibi Sakura! Kawaii!) She points her index finger at the prodigy.
"I knew it, you do draw!" her cute big eyes now even bigger looking accusingly at Sasuke.
"I do not!"(Chibi Sasuke! Double Kawaii!) Sasuke tried to deny the fact that he did draw by pouting, at the same time folding his hands in front of his chest, glaring back at Sakura.
The two remained like that for sometime… (Kawaii)
Tenten and Neji…
These two are at the spot where the archery club is held. Both of them trying to beat each other in scoring the shots they hit.
ZZZT
An arrow flew through the air and landed at the red zone of the target, a perfect-
"Bull's-eye! Ha! Beat that, Neji!"
Tenten yelled, looking at the said teen's direction.
"Hn…that's nothing, Tenten, if you have forgotten, that's only the third bull's eye you have got so far!"
"So what? Like you have more of them then me?" she teased back, sticking her tongue out.
Neji gave a slight smirk. "We'll see about that," he got into a stance and focused on the target.
ZZZT
Another arrow flew through the air and landed on the red zone too.
"Now, we're a tie," his smirk widens.
Tenten looked at the target in awe. She huffed and whined. (Imagine a chibi Tenten holding a bow-no, shaking a bow with one hand while pointing the other at Neji)
"That's not fair! I was supposed to be the best at archery! How can you beat me just like that!"
Smirk narrowed, Neji raised an eyebrow.
"One, Tenten, it's a tie, as in we didn't win or lose?"
Tenten stuck her tongue out at him in annoyance.
"Two, who says that you're the best at archery?"
She paused for a bit and thought…then, she continues whining…
"W-well, I do!"
"And what in the world made you think that?'"
"The fact that I always got a point more than you in any practice or competitions!"
Neji huffed, (and turns into chibi Neji! squeals) glaring back at Tenten.
"You did not beat me every time we matched!"
"So did!"
"Did not!"
"Did to!"
"Did not!'
And the bickering went on…
Temari and Sephire…
(The two girls just met. Actually, they are cousins. Temari saw Sephire looking in from the door so she invited her to sit behind her. If u r wondering where there r, they r in the archery spot with the two chibi's arguing up there…)
"So…" started Sephire, "are they always like this?"
(Oh, and they witnessed the two (chibified) teens fighting too…) Temari looked away from her target and towards them.
"Yeah," she replied while aiming back her arrow at the target.
ZZZT
"Don't worry," she added with a smile, (or is that a smirk…)
"You'll get use to them…"
"Hope so…" answered Sephire.
They watched over to the two who were fighting, had changed into a contest with archery again.
Tenten and Neji… (Again…)
"I'm gonna beat you this time!"
"No you aren't!"
"Yes I am!"
And it goes on and on…
Temari and Sephire…
Temari giggled, followed by Sephire, who was aiming her arrow at the target.
ZZZT
The arrow hit directly in the middle of the (poor) arrow-filled target.
"Wow…you're good."
"Thanks. Wanna see who's better? Well, besides those two of course…"
"Bring it on; I love a good challenge…"
And…they started their battle too…
Shikamaru and Ino…
Silence filled the almost empty room filled with books, namely the library. The time now is around…(well, what is the time now?)
"Hurry up, Ino…"
A lazy voice echoed slightly through the huge room.
"Just a few minutes more, Shika I'm almost done" whined the girl.
'Sure, that's what you have said in the past hour! Troublesome…'
"There! Found it!"
Ino grinned at Shikamaru as she held up a huge, thick book.
Shikamaru just raised an eyebrow and glared lazily at the book that Ino used 30 minutes to find.
"So that's the troublesome book that you wanted?"
"Hey! Don't call it troublesome! It's last year's school magazine! It has all the info that Sakura needs to fit in, plus-"
"That you used half an hour to find!"
"Well, you don't have anything else better to do anyways!
The two started arguing, which is not a good thing if you're in a library, with a pissed off librarian trying to stack up poker cards to make a house. (Hey! Librarians can get bored, right?)
"Shut up both of you!" she said in a loud hiss, "this is the library, not a party! If you want to borrow a book, hurry it up and get out!"
Immediately, the two shut up. Ino gave her book to the fuming librarian and she checked it, mumbling something about stupid cards that couldn't even stand properly. Shikamaru gave a lazy smirk at that.
Suddenly….the bell rings. (Uh oh…...
Sakura, Sasuke
"Eek! We're late!"
"And, it's all your fault!"
"Ho-"
"Argue later. We have to get to class, now!"
The duo sped their way out of the arts room to their next class in the mist of students.
Neji, Tenten
"Oh great, class's starting,"
"Yea, we should get back to class,"
"Um-hmm,"
They gave their bows to the 'bow-keeper' of the club like all the other members do and jogged towards their next class. Tenten muttered something under her breath but Neji caught it.
"And I was about to beat Neji too! Stupid bell! Stupid Neji!"
"Hey,"
Tenten turned her head towards the Hyuuga, only to be met by a pair of emotionless white eyes.
"It's not like I wanted to stop. Don't compare me with the darn bell, and who said that you are going to win again?"
Tenten (apparently) didn't flinch at the glare, coz she giggled.
"I didn't say that you are the cause of making us stop the game. What if I want to compare you to the stupid bell, and I did, Hyuuga-sama…" Tenten sang in between breaths.
Neji smirked.
"Okay, then let's settle this, there's still a long way to class, race you there?"
"You're on!"
And they ran, and ran, and ran….
Shikamaru, Ino
"God, now the damn bell is ringing!"
Ino and Shikamaru heard the (coughcrazycough) librarian yell on the way out. They looked at each other and grinned.
"Well, that makes one sane people less from our list?" Ino started.
"Yup,"
Shikamaru replied while gave himself a slight, (slight) chuckle. After a few seconds of peace, both of them cracked up and started laughing in the student–less hall way.
Temari, Sephire
(Apparently, these two got on time. They were sitting in the same place they sat in the class before but in different class. Sephire in the upper row and Temari in the lower row, so that all of the 'gang' have their seats.)
"You know, when we pass by the arts room, I thought I heard an 'eek' coming from it. Did you hear it?"
"No,"
"And when we passed the route to the library, I heard laughing,"
"Must be the bell, coz I didn't hear anything but it."
"Yea…could be…"
With that, they waited in the almost –full classroom for the rest to come.
A good ten minutes passed. Temari laid her head on her table and sighed.
"I wonder where everybody is..."
"No idea…"said Sephire as she glanced around her to make sure that nobody, especially the teachers, are not looking in from the door or in her direction while talking out her Discman.
"Cool, what song?" stated Temari.
"Depends on what I've brought." Sephire dished out a few CDs.
Temari looked through them and picked out Kelly Clarkson.
"I like her songs. Can we listen to it?"
"Sure!"
Sephire put the CD in and press play. 'Because Of You' is playing. They hummed to the rhythm and sang along.
I will not make, the same mistakes, that you did-
I will not, let myself, cause my heart so much misery…
I will not break, the way you did, you fell so hard,
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far-
(Uh-hmm, Sasura here to give u the updates. The double S's are still running, and so are Neji and Tenten-no, Neji tripped, courtesy of Tenten. Ino and Shikamaru are taking their time walking while glancing at the magazine. Well, Ino is glancing, Shikamaru just peeped. There, now, I shall let u get on with the story…oh, and I'll be writing 'b'coz' instead of 'because' in the lyrics to save space, hope that is alright with u…)
B'coz of u, I never strayed too far away from the sidewalk-
B'coz of u, I learned to play on the safe side, so I don't get hurt-
B'coz of u, I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone else around me-b'coz of u…
I am afraid…
And the songs went on. Temari is now strumming her fingers across the table, eyes closed. The same goes with Sephire except the eyes part. (Hey, who wants their D'man confiscated? not me 4 sure!)
Sakura, Sasuke
Sasuke looked up at the class-signs that went by him.
'Great, a little bit more…' Sasuke turned his head back, towards a certain pink-haired girl.
"Hey, Sakura! Can't you run a bit faster?"
Behind him, Sakura is trying the best she could. Panting, she yelled back at him.
"I…will if…you'll…run…slower…"
Sasuke stopped to let tired Sakura catch up.
"Finally, I thought you will never make it." Sasuke smirked.
Sakura caught her breath.
"Humph!" she turned around, "now where do we go?"
"Into this room." Sasuke pointed to the door beside them.
"Oh."
They walked in.
Sephire, Temari, Sasuke, Sakura
They blinked at each other. After a while, Sephire took off her half of the earphones and said 'hi?' just to break the ice. The S's said their 'Hi' back and were introduced by Temari, who had finally gotten her half of the earphones down. (After Sephire pressed 'pause' anyway…)
Neji, Tenten
"That was uncalled for, Hyuuga!"
Since Tenten tripped Neji, he paid her back by stepping on her shoes' shoelaces, making them come undone.
"Pay back, Tenten, pay back," he replied with a smirk.
Grumbling, Tenten hopped on one foot while tying her other. Neji watched her in amusement, smirking all the while.
While tying the other shoe, Tenten thought of an idea. She hopped slowly towards her rival until they are a few inches apart.
"ne-ji…" Tenten chorused.
Hyuuga raised an eyebrow.
"Nani? (Meaning: 'what?'...I think…)"
"I was wondering…" Tenten started. This time only closer and closer.
"Yea?" little tints of pink can be seen across the boy's cheek.
"That…" their lips are 5cm apart. 4.3. Neji is sweating by now.2.1- and Tenten skipped of into a head start.
"If you are willing to lose against me!" Tenten stuck her tongue out (again).
Neji blanked out, and then regained his composure.
"Why you little-" Neji made a dash for Tenten.
They started running again, heading towards the classroom.
1.2.3-
BANG
They hit each other on the head while trying to squeeze in through the (poor) door.
Sephire, Temari, Sasuke, Sakura, Neji, Tenten
They all looked at each other. Sephire had to push 'pause' again as Temari was still not paying attention to the (sweaty) teens. 'Hi' and intros were exchanged. (Again…)
Ino, Shikamaru
These two however did nothing special. They walked into the classroom just before the teacher came in.
Sephire, Temari, Sasuke, Sakura, Neji, Tenten, Ino, Shikamaru
This time, Sephire pressed 'pause' before anything was done. Temari got enough of it and got cranky.
"Stop it with the pausing already! I'm listening to the song now! Introduce to each other yourself!"
With that, she hugged the D'man to herself while the rest sweat drops and exchanged introductions.
10 minutes later...
The floor creaked, making all of the students in the room turned (once again) at the noise maker. Sephire snatched the D'man away from Temari and hid it in her backpack. Temari could crack up and yell but her eyes widened at the sight of the teacher.
'It couldn't be...It's-'
