'My head is a box
full of nothing
and that's the way I like it
My garden's a
secret compartment
and that's the way I like it
and that's the
way I like it
Your body's a dream that turns violent
and that's
the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
The winter is
long in the city
and that's the way I like it'
Iruka's chocolate brown haired bopped with the music as he sat in his empty English classroom finishing the marking of Year 11 essays handed in that day. Sadly Iruka had his headphones too loud and didn't notice a long, kinda pale hand take a headphone off and practically screamed.
"Yo."
Surprisingly all the essays were scattered around the floor.
"DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!"
Pulling both headphones out Iruka angrily place his mp3 down onto the table and got out of his chair to pick up all the papers strewn among to grey carpeted floor.
"What do you want Kakashi-san." Iruka mumbled as he picked up a perfect essay, which already had 100/100 circled in red.
Only hearing silence Iruka slowly sat back into his seat and saw the rare expressionless yet serious masked face of Hatake Kakashi.
"Haku was murdered."
Iruka sat silently in his seat, unconsciously rubbing his scar on his nose, "Kuso…how? Why wasn't I aware of this?"
The silver haired teacher took a seat from one of the student tables and sat right in front of Iruka's table.
"His throat was slit and the murderer cut out his stomach before he died. What is worse is that Bara Rikku and Mikodi Yumi haven't left their room since it happened."
Hearing Yumi's name Iruka sat back further into his chair and awkwardly starred at the cracks in the plastic ceiling, "The Konoha Murders are starting once again."
Kakashi silently agreed.
"Oh no don't go changing, that what you told me from the start,
Thought you where something different, that when it all just fell apart,
Like you're so perfect, and I can't measure up,
Well I'm not perfect, just all messed up"Rikku slowly put the volume louder to her mp3, trying to block out Yumi's singing. The song fitted perfectly to what Rikku thought Yumi was portraying.
Betrayal, pain and despair were being sung quite loudly and depressingly by Yumi.
"It's not like I need somebody, telling me where I should go at night
Don't worry you'll find somebody, someone to tell how to live there life,
Cause you're so perfect and no one measures up, yea all by yourself you're all messed up"
Noticing Rikku putting her mp3 louder, Yumi sang louder and jumped onto her friend's bed.
"I was loosing myself to somebody else, but now I see
I don't wanna pretend so this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want,
She was tearing us apart,
Cause she was everything, everything I'm not
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend so this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want she was tearing us apart, cause she's everything, everything I'm not"
Once the backing track finished, Yumi gingerly turned off the stereo and ran into the bathroom.
Rikku forcefully closed her eyes and turned her mp3 louder, trying not to imagine Yumi's lunch down the drain.
"Hello Neji." Sasuke growled as he staggered into the 'Hagurosan' practice room, lugging his graffitied acoustic guitar into the room.
"What's up your arse today Uchiha?" A flaming red head walked into the room fiddling with a pair of drumsticks and drinking a can of lemonade.
Sasuke threw a glare to his fellow band member and sat down on the soft couch in the corner, "Aniki beaten us on the charts. That….that….THAT BAKA MANAGER CAME UP WITH THE STUPIDEST MARKETING SCAM!!!"
"I think it was rather genius." Sasuke's manager sat on the other side of the couch practically dozing off on the armrest, "Akime-san is in her right mind at the moment."
Sasuke was practically in agony, "Making aniki do a nearly nude photo shoot for Ongaku magazine is not a sign of a genius at work!"
"Akime-san at least got Itachi's popularity higher now. Neji, you should get Sasuke a photo shoot to do as well."
Sasuke was in complete horror at what the dog lover was proposing, "Don't make me have more fangirls than I already have by doing that or you will never see the light of day. SHIKAMARU SAY SOMETHING!"
"No…too troublesome."
Meet 'Hagurosan'. Consisting of Neji the manager, Gaara the drummer, Kiba as Bass, Shikamaru as second guitar and backup vocals and a very ticked off Sasuke as lead singer and lead guitarist. This is Uchiha Sasuke's band which lives with there own band motto in life 'Friends not by choice.'
"Shiiiiiittt!!! I'm going to be late!!!" A yellow flash was sighted running down empty corridors of Konoha Music Academy trying to reach the west wing before the 2nd bell rings. Sadly the 2nd bell rang over 6 minutes ago.
"I am going to kill Tsunade- baachan for calling me into the office and not letting me have a pass to the classroom. GOT TO HURRY UP!"
Naruto was a corridor away from his classroom until-
"GAH!!! GET OUT OF THE WAAAAYYYYY!!!"
- he crashed into Nara Shikamaru, the new student.
"Yo..Shika…you ks?" Inuzuka Kiba worried as his bandmate was lying on the floor looking blankly at the school's ceiling.
"Other than my cranium being a bit jarred. I'm fine." But Shikamaru wouldn't get off the floor.
A white eyed school student came up to the group and helped Shikamaru off the floor and mumbled, "Lazy-Ass."
Naruto noticed, at a small distance away a red haired with a tattoo of 'ai' on his forehead was watching the scene with a bemused faced.
"DOBE! Hurry up and get to class! Kakashi actually was early this time and…oh." Uchiha Sasuke walked evidently slower to the group and looked warily at the classroom doors in the corridor.
Suddenly a teacher opened a door and students came flooding out of the classrooms and into the corridor.
"Oh my god."
"Gaara-sama!" Someone dreamily said from the crowd.
"Shikamaru-kun!" Naruto sweatdropped at Ino's voice.
"Sasuke-kun why are you out of class?" Barely heard from the large crowd, Sakura piped.
"It's Hyuuga Neji! You know Hinata's cousin!"
The crowd of students suddenly went into hysteria.
"HAGUROSAN IS HERE!!! THE WHOLE BAND IS HERE!!!"
In unison Hagurosan immediately ran leaving a very ditched Naruto in the now empty corridor.
Naruto was practically skipping to his Kakashi's classroom in glee.
'At least I have a juicy reason to be late now!'
"It looks like the student body found out about Hagurosan being at the school."
"teichou-sama (translation:Captain) What are we going to do with Akimichi brat?"
Yellow beady eyes twinkling with glee gave the minion a shiver down his spine.
"Feed him the necessity to live. Go."
"Hai teichou-sama."
"Tsunade-chan. I wonder how long it would take for you notice a student is gone from your secluded paddock."
The sick man smiled in sadism.
