Chapter Two- I Don't Understand Why all things Happen for a Reason

Sasuke nodded to Neji.

"I'll be over your house a little later on tonight to discuss tomorrow, alright?" Neji gave him a curt nod, and looked over Sasuke's shoulder to see his older brother Itachi walking down the hallway, looking paranoid. "I think your brother's finally cracked" He said, and with a small laugh he turned and departed. Sasuke watched Neji leave with one confused, and arched brow.

He then turned around, and indeed, his brother did look paranoid. He grabbed Sasuke's shoulder, squeezing a little harder than what was necessary-Sasuke pulled back with a wince. "Dammit Itachi, what the hell's wrong with you?" Itachi didn't grace his little brother with a response-instead he was looking anywhere but Sasuke, at the moment it seemed like he didn't even know Sasuke was there. He then let his red eyes meet Sasuke's black.

"I might have to transfer schools"

He then walked off, Sasuke was now beyond confused and he ran off to catch up with Itachi-noticing he kept rubbing his hand over his neck, and shivering.

Hinata stood poised infront of the car that was owned by her older cousin Hyuuga Neji. She stood in a very demure way, with a long soft brown skirt, and a modest button down shirt. Her short brown hair was softly swaying around her head, and she looked sort a nervous-but was smiling softly none the less.

Kiba a very brash boy, who's best friend, was literally men's best-friend stood off to the side watching her with a glazed and loving look in his eyes. Naruto who was waiting outside the building for Gaara to come out from detention (he had karate chopped some poor soul in the neck for not moving out of his way fast enough), noticed how hard Kiba was staring at Hinata.

"Why don't you just go over there and talk to her-it's not like Hinata is hard to talk too"

Kiba turned and fixed Naruto with a sneer and a glare. "Easy for you to say, your the one she likes!" Naruto looked genuinly confused. He then turned to look back over at Hinata. "Really? I never knew that-I mean every time I talk to her, she blushes, and stammers, and can barely get two words out, but..." He trailed off scratching his head, and coughing. Kiba rolled his eyes then went back to staring at Hinata.

He then growled as he saw Neji walking over to Hinata-wondering what the rich bastard was looking so smug about. Naruto saw Neji also, and quickly looked around to see if he could spot Sasuke, then looked away in disapointment when he couldn't see him. "Rich boy Neji-He never let's anyone near Hinata" His fists clenched at his side, as Neji softly touched Hinata's elbow to get her attention.

She looked at him, he communicated something to her-and then she nodded. He un locked the car door, and they both got in and drove away.

Iruka cleared his desk, and was about to walk out the classroom, when he realized he had almost left his car keys in his desk- "Good thing I go over everything in my head" Iruka said with a relieved smile, as he threw his car keys up into the air, and deftly caught them.

He then heard a clap coming from the door. He looked to see that it was Anko, he blushed red, realizing that he was caught red-handed doing something completly out of character.

Anko leaned her hip up against the frame, and crossed her arms over her chest. She then fixed Iruka with a cocky smirk-Anko was a woman indeed, from her deep curves, to the firmness of her bust-but a woman that Iruka would never be able to handle, or keep up with. She was very independent, and sure of herself-she wasn't very tall, but she made up for that with sheer strength alone.

She also had short, lank purple hair-and pale brown eyes. She was a very attractive woman.

"Hello Anko" Iruka said, closing up his drawer and walking towards her. "Hey Iruka-looks like I caught you just in time-My ride here has to stay late, and I'm really in a hurry to get home-so could you take me?"

"Of course" Iruka stated automatically, not even thinking it over. Him and Anko had been friends long enough, for thinking about whether or not to do a favor for her or not didn't seem neccesary. She smiled, and then leaned towards his face. "Your really sweet Iruka-has anyone ever told you that?"

Iruka suddenly very hot under the color, smiled nervously.

"See ya' Kiba-Akamaru!" Naruto waved Kiba and Akamaru off, and stood waiting for Gaara-he didn't have to wait long-Gaara came out green eyes blazing, Naruto gulped, and then ran towards his friend. "Hey you okay?" Naruto asked coming into a full stop next to him.

"I'm fine Naruto-but I think we should really talk about tomorrow night" Gaara looked unsure as he stared over at Naruto-who caught the desperate look in his eyes. He nodded. "No problem Gaara, I think we should talk it over too-so we can meet up at my house tonight-how about it?"

"That would be fine" They nodded to each other, and then broke off in two seperate directions.

Ino and Sakura were walking down the street, on there way to Ino's Flower Shop, which was really owned by her older sister. They seemed to be in deep thought, and looked content to just walk in silence, letting that speak for them. Then Sakura, unable to keep silent any longer looked over at Ino.

"What do you think they were talking about today in class, when Sasuke and Neji had sat in Gaara and Naruto's seats?" Ino shrugged her shoulders. "Does it really matter?" Sakura didn't answer right away, and then she too shrugged her shoulders. "I guess it doesn't"

They continued to walk.

"Shit!"

"Ow!"

Someone had collided right into the back of Sakura making her stumble forwards, Ino grabbed her arm to keep her from falling the rest of the way. She then turned around fire seeming to erupt from her eyes at the idiot, who couldn't have the decency to even look where he was going, only to stop. She found herself staring into the most beautiful grey eyes she had ever seen, ever seen. He was rubbing the back of his head, Ino let go of Sakura's arm-and helped him stand.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah" Sakura said sarcastically from behind her. Ino ignored her, her attention focused on the beauty infront of her. "Yeah I was running from my friend-"

"There you are Song! Get your ass back here, and take this ass kickin' like a man!" The boy jumped up, and smiled at Ino. "Thank you-but I really have to go!"

He took off, Ino looked distraught as she watched him run off. The other boy who had long brown hair, which was trailing behind him in one long braid-stopped by them-he ignored Ino and looked straight at Sakura. "Point me in his direction!" Sakura dazed by the sheer beauty of this boys hazel eyes, lifted her arm infront of her, and pointed to where she had last seen the other boy-he winked at her. "Thanks!" he took off after him.

"Itachi, are you alright?" not that Sasuke cared or anything, but Itachi was acting way too weird, even for him. Itachi's hands were nervously shaking on the steering wheel, and he kept glancing at the overhead mirror like someone was following them. Sasuke wouldn't admit it, but Itachi was making even him nervous.

Itachi gave Sasuke a short look, but didn't reply.

Iruka and Anko made there way to Iruka's car-having finally got over the awkward moment they had shared inside the classroom. Anko wouldn't say it out loud, but she was very disapointed at the way Iruka didn't catch on to the fact that she was flirting with him. She had known Iruka for the two years she had been working as the P.E. teacher-she had been nervous, because it had been her first time as an actual teacher, and not just a sub-but Iruka had been there, patient and willing-and she had warmed up to the job in no time.

It didn't take Anko long to realize she was attracted to Umino Iruka-I mean who wouldn't be-the man was handsome, beautiful even-he was a sweet, and kind, but strong, and firm man-any woman would have to be crazy to not want him as a husband. And Anko was not afraid to admit that, yes, she wanted Iruka to be her husband.

She had been lonely for too long-and Iruka was just perfect, perfect for someone like her.

He un locked her door first, and opened it for her-smiling warmly. The perfect gentlemen. Anko returned the smile just as warmly, and sat down into the soft brown seats. Iruka closed the door, and made to go around it to the driver's seat-when he heard a distinct cough sound from behind him. He turned around to see,

"Kakashi-sensei" Iruka barely kept himself from choking on his spit-as he stared at the man, walking lazily toward him, noticing that the one eye that wasn't covered, seemed to blaze-blaze in anger?

Anger at what? And why?

"Where are you off too Iruka-sensei?" He asked, more like demanded. Iruka blinked his eyes, then looked back at the car, and at Anko-who didn't seem to notice that they had company. "I'm on my way home, Anko needed a ride, so I'm offering to take her home-" he then paused, as Kakashi's eye narrowed dangerously. "Is there anything you need?" he asked, hoping to break the tension. He looked back at Iruka, his eye still intense-

"Yes, actually there is-but that can wait until we're alone"

"Gaara!" Kankuro bellowed, slapping Gaara on the back as he walked into the house. Gaara growled at his brother, letting him know he was crossing lines of personal space, that shouldn't be crossed. Kankuro put his hands up in mock surrender, the face paint making him look even more comical.

"Got cha Gaara-Yo' Temari I'm outta here!"

He left out the house slamming the door. Temari stormed out the kitchen. "Damn you Kankuro! It's your turn to wash the dishes, get your ass back here!" she ran off after him- "Welcome home Gaara!" she said cheerfully, and then whipped open the door and took off after Kankuro.

Gaara sighed, and then closed the door-someone had to wash the dishes.

Neji watched his cousin, as she sat on the couch, legs crossed at the ankles. He loved his cousin, but he found himself more than once on occasion, being annoyed by how sweet Hinata was-it was sickening. "You plan on going to the dance Hinata?" Neji asked by way of conversation, him and Hinata never talked much-

She jumped, and then calmed. She started to nervously wring her hands-then let out a soft breath. "Yes...but I am afraid to ask Naruto to go with me" Neji's eyebrows raised, he looked away. Sasuke was not going to like this.

"Why him?" He was curious.

Hinata was unsure on how to answer-but then again, she liked having these small and rare conversations with her cousin, she looked up to him, and wanted him to aknowledge her. She wished that she wasn't so weak and confused all the time-she was sure Neji thought she was a disgrace, and unfit to run the family business when the time came-she wasn't of course-as soon as it became hers, she was going to hand it over to Neji, he deserved it more than she did, he's the one who worked hard for it.

"I...I don't really know how to answer that Neji-niisan-I wish I did, but I do not" she looked down, Neji stared at her for a second. Then walked over and lightly placed his hand on her shoulder. "It's alright. I'm sure if you were to ask him, he would agree" Hinata looked up at him, and smiled.

"You really think so?"

He nodded.

Naruto bounded into the kitchen where his aunt Tsunade was busy cooking up a delicious dinner-he sniffed the air, and licked his lips. "Smells good, Aunt Tsunade-baachan" she whacked him up side the head. Then smiled at him. "Your uncle is going to be home tonight to eat-so I'm making more than usual" Naruto beamed.

"Cool-oh and Gaara's coming over later today, it that alright?"

Tsunade nodded. Naruto gave her a hug, and ran out the kitchen and up the stairs to change.

Iruka let the car die out infront of Anko's house, Anko sat nervously in the passenger's seat, staring at her lap. She noticed that the car had stopped, and then she looked over at Iruka who was staring at her-she felt a soft blush stain her cheeks. Iruka was just a handsome man.

"Thank-you Iruka-sensei, I'm saving up for a car..." she trailed off in an embaressed whisper. Iruka however did not seem to mind in the least, he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "It's quite alright Anko, if ever you need a ride, or anything at all-do not hesistate to ask me"

She stared wide-eyed into his eyes. Anything... she thought-but stopped herself. She would have to take it slowly, she could not take advantage of Iruka's kindness. She nodded her head, and then placed her hand on top of his. "Thank-you"

Chase jumped on Song's back-as they ducked out into a nearby alleyway, and watched the two girls walk by. "Hah!" Chase said, as Song put a friendly arm around his waist. "Did you see the look on the pink girls face, my charms are un matched!" Song's eyes narrowed a little, and he removed his arm from around Chase's waist. Chase gave him a confused look, at the sudden change in his attitude.

"Yes, it seems like everything is going according to plan. I wouldn't be surprised if they spent all night giggling like school girls to each other about us" he said in monotone, slipping his hands into his pockets. Chase gave his friend a hard stare, making no move to follow him out of the alley way-Song noticed this and turned his head slightly to regard him. "Come on." Chase took a step back- "We need to keep a eye on them, I say we go camp out outside of there houses"

Song's eyes narrowed. "Are you falling for the Cherry Blossom?" He asked humorlessly. Chase rolled his eyes. "No. I just like my targets where I can see them, Ja" he said with a over the shoulder's wave, as he exited the alley in the opposite direction of Song. Song clenched his fist, eyes once a cool grey, now a burning red.

NIGHT...

Sasuke opened up the door, intending on leaving when he felt a omnious prescense hovering over him. He looked up to stare into the palest face he had ever seen. His silver eyes glistened like strange beacons of light, and his creepiest feature by far, had to be his smile. "You're here for Itachi, right?" Sasuke deadpanned, he had to be, only Itachi would associate with weirdo's. His best-friend, who lived in some far off place looked like a shark. Sasuke was still having nightmares.

"I am." He then leaned closer to Sasuke's face, making him take a step back in disgust. "This family is full of pretty boys, isn't it?" Sasuke pushed pass him, "Get out my face you fucking pervert" and with that he left off, not even bothering to tell Itachi he had company-or tell him to run for his life.

Orochimaru chuckled to himself, and let himself in. Itachi who had previously been in the livingroom watching TV, walked out into the main hall, to see Orochimaru-all the blood drained from his already bloodless face. Orochimaru closed the doorm with a soft, 'CLICK'
