"Yamanaka Ino is in a stable condition now. She'll be awake soon so you can visit her."
Naruto calmly nodded towards the doctor and slowly approached the door. His movements were extremely slow as a brief thought ran through his head.
'Hospitals make me really uncomfortable.'
"Oi. Naruto."
If the situation wasn't that serious Naruto would of have laughed at Sasuke's appearance, which consisted of very dodgy shades, temporary hair dyed orange and purple contacts that could be seen clearly through the shades.
"What's with the disguise?"
Sasuke started to brood as Yumi came up behind him with 2 cups of steamy coffee. As she handed a cup to Naruto, Yumi snatched the dodgy shades off Sasuke's nose and placed it in her book bag.
"You have no sense of fashion when you're trying to hide from the fan girls. Anyways those shades made you look like a hobo."
The small party moved slowly into Ino's hospital room as bleached blonde hair poked out from the top of the doonas.
"Heys Uzumaki, Mikodi. You know what happened yet?" Ino slowly sat up on her bed and started scrummaging through her own book bag.
"Sakura did it. That friggin bitch has no conscience."
Ino weakly smiled at Yumi, "This coming from one who never had one before."
Yumi hatred of Sakura turned into a heated glare toward the hospitalised girl.
"Alright I take it back…Uzumaki. Why is the Uchiha Sasuke in my room?!" Ino, even though in her state was on the verge of squealing.
"He is our friend and please. Please Ino. Do not go fan girl mode in front of us."
Ino grinned widely in her bed, "I can't promise you that!"
"This is fucking ridiculous!"
Uchiha Sasuke screamed in annoyance as he entered his appointed practice room.
The blond haired genius was coincidentally walking past the practice room corridor and could not help cracking up at his roommate's 'practice' room.
'Ohayo Sasuke-kun! I hope you like it! Love Haruno Sakura!'
The basic practice room, which only held a stand-up piano and a music stand, was now transformed into a Florissant pink paradise with pictures adorning the room of the creator.
Naruto picked himself off the floor and coughed as he straightened out his uniform.
"I suggest that you change your practice room snort with Rock Lee. I think he'll absolutely love this room." And Naruto just ran out of the room in chibi mode laughing like a crazed monkey through the school.
"Uchiha Sasuke welcome to Konoha Music Academy. I'm your English teacher all right? Anyways your seat is next to Naruto all right? That's good."
Umino sensei absently rubbed his scared nose and pointed to the empty desk next to Sasuke's annoying roommate who at the moment was doing real work.
At the moment Sasuke literally fall into his chair an overenthusiastic brunette ran into the room.
"I MADE IT!! I ROCK LIKE HELL!…Oh shit." The girl starred meekly at Umino sensei. Waving weakly she shrunk back and greeted her teacher in a small voice, " Hiii Iruka sensei…uhhh sorry I'm late but you know how busy I am with all the work around the school right? Did I tell you that I'm the captain of the water polo team and I have to organise the recital concert and help Kakashi sensei carry all those books because of that smutty book of his but! I don't really know if it's actually smut or just a normal novel you know. Sensei, have you ever wonder about that?"
"Bara Rikku. Just take your seat." Iruka interrupted her babbling and gestured to her empty/graffitied table and seat as Rikku quickly paced herself to her seat.
Naruto slipped a small note onto Sasuke's table and like clockwork went back to his work.
I probably tell you this anyway but Bara Rikku is 2nd to Sakura. She's popular as she contributes around the school and owns her own shop on the school grounds. I'll take you there later I have a broken reed on my clarinet anyway. She knows you somehow or at least your band and sadly for you a major fan.
P.S We're doing creative writing pick a topic from the board and stop looking so clueless. -
Sasuke glared at Naruto's amused face as he pulled out his exercise book from his book bag.
Naruto had a short detention at lunch 5 minutes later as Sasuke's muttered comment made him laugh his ass off in the quite room.
"Dobe. Of course I'm clueless. You are already trying to set me up with someone and I've been here for only 6 days."
"You dragged me from my practice time just to go to some girl's room?!"
Naruto swivelled around to face Sasuke, "Not any girl's room. Once again I say you are blind, as you didn't notice the sign above the door."
Barami Music Repair and Replacement store
"Barami?"
Naruto grinned as he swiped his key card into the slot on the door's right and showed a list of ignored people. One was mainly highlighted into different colours and shone brightly to the two boys.
"Haruno Sakura." Sasuke looked back at the sign, "This is Bara's and Mikodi's room."
"100 points for the correct answer." Naruto chuckled as he heard a thump against the locked door.
Partly muffled by the door the boys could hear Yumi's voice from the room.
"Piss off if you don't want to die an extremely horrible death Naruto."
Naruto yelled at the door in amusement, "I'm here as a customer like always."
A definite click was heard at the doorknob and Yumi opened the door in a pissed mode.
"I was freaking sleeping you dick. Jeezzzz. Instrument?" She gestured them to come in and moved towards the messy side of the room, which has an identical card slot from outside on the wall.
"Clarinet." Swiping her card, the screen beside the slot lit up with a list of instruments. Picking the 2nd from the top, the wall opened up again with a set of small drawers with numbers labelled clearly in gold.
"Size?"
"2 and a half." Sasuke had to duck quickly as Yumi blindly threw the reed to Naruto.
"Gimme the money." Yumi demanded sleepily as Naruto placed a bill into her hand.
Walking slowly to the other side of the room she swiped her card again in a different card slot and opened a thick, small, encased safe, putting the money in it and falling back onto her bed.
"Now go away. Rikku would be back later if you want your guitar fixed…or your violin. I need some sleep. Please, this time don't forget to swipe the card inside before you go."
Sasuke was clearly confused and normally this Uchiha doesn't get confused.
"What's with all the card swiping?!"
Yumi grumbled into her pillow and doona and sat up to explain, "This school is stupid enough to go on a network that I bet would end up crashing which works with the keycards. The keycards are your ID and you need to swipe the card inside for the logbooks to know you left."
All of a sudden Yumi burst into hysterical laughter and the boys quickly left the room from what she said.
" SAKURA WOULD HANG HERSELF IF SHE THOUGHT UCHIHA SASUKE NEVER LEFT RIKKU'S ROOM WITHOUT SWIPPING HAHAHAHAHA!"
She never did get back to sleep after that.
It was the middle of the 4th period when the Year 10 class B bolted from their classroom as an ear-splitting scream was heard from supposably empty classroom next-door.
Yumi ran after her fellow classmates who saw the class leave and squeezed herself to the front of the crowd. Seeing blood and gore splattered on the whiteboard, most of the gruesome liquid came from the middle of the classroom.
The floor of the classroom was adorned with human flesh.
Yumi looked worryingly at the sobbing student who found the already torn dead body and now is cradling the remains of a limp corpse.
The student was in hysteric and wailed.
"HAKU-SAN"Yumi noticed something fluttering on the floor and cautiously picked the blood soaked piece of paper from the liquid.
Haku, the History Teacher Zabuza sensei's assistant, is lying on this floor, dead. Worry and become paranoid, students of Konoha Music Academy.
This is just the beginning.-
Yumi reread the last line and looked back at the sobbing student. In fear she dropped the note and ran out of the room.
-This is just the beginning.-
"Yumi?"
Rikku slowly looked around the corner and saw her friend/roommate rocking back and forth, shivering as she may have been in the sudden storm outside.
"Rikku…. did you see the blood." Yumi spoken so softly that Rikku barely heard it.
Rikku walked towards her friend and kneeled beside her, "It's alright. It would not happen again. Do not worry."
Yumi looked more distressed as she peered at the crack in the wall, "It would happen again Rikku," Rikku was shocked to see tears run out of Yumi's oak brown eyes, " That's the problem! IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!"
Rikku straight away hugged her friend as a dull look appeared in her eyes and dead, quite voice spoke from Yumi's body,
"I don't want Naruto to die because of me."
