This is my new and first Naruto fanfic finally! I've wanted to do this one for a long time but never got to it so here it is!
By the way, they're all 16 years old. Except for Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, Shikamaru, and Ino, there's more but I'll tell the rest in later chapters when they actually appear. And they're all juniors at Konoha High.
Pairings: I don't want to ruin it but I will tell you there's a Sak/Sas/Ino in it, though it's just drama with Ino, nothing else, and there's a Nar/Hina with Neji being all mad and etc. and mich more but that will come in later chapters.
Rated T for later chapters, may change the rating later.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the other characters, unfortunately.
Anyways, enjoy and please, R&R (Read and Review)
Prologue"Mom, please don't make me go! I'll do anything!" said a young girl with odd bubble gum pink hair.
"I'm sorry honey but you will have to go sooner or later, it is still the middle of the school year and I can't just let you skip the rest of the year!" said the girl's mother walking briskly to the doors of the main building. The girl gave a sigh that her oblivious mother obviously didn't hear.
Her mom had told her that she could wait a week, get adjusted to the surroundings, and then go to school. But they had just moved two days ago, and now she is going straight to school! Not any school either, a private school! With uniforms and such. The school was called Konoha high school (KHS) and Sakura would be a junior this year since she was sixteen.
Without even a hesitation or worry her mother had dragged the girl to school even against her wishes and was now headed for the main office at such a fast pace the girl with pink hair had to run to keep up with her. The boys who were late to their classes and were walking by stared at the two.
It was a weird match really, an odd pink haired girl running to keep up with her mothers pace. Her mother wasn't at all ugly, rather beautiful; she went on a ton of dates with people at her work place back where they used to live.
The girl didn't have a father; he died when she was just 4, as did her real mom in a car crash. She barely even remembered them. All she remembered was the day she had to wait in the hospital for hours on news about her parents without even knowing what was going on. She was brought to the hospital and kept entertained by a nurse. When she found out about her parents she bawled for a week. Then cried whenever she thought about them.
In fact, the girl was an orphan who was adopted by a fatherless, gorgeous, woman who went on so many dates she had lost count.
Her mom now had silky and straight black hair that could do everything. From curling to wavy and easily put up in a fancy bun of some sort. It took her no time at all to do her hair and when she was done it always looked perfect like she spent hours on it. When in reality it was only about ten minutes.
She had beautiful brown eyes and a small tan. Men easily fell for her and every piece of clothing she wore seemed like it was made for her and showed all the right curves in her body.
That day her mom was wearing black, 4-inch, stiletto, open toe, heels and a beautiful, silky, black, skirt that waved in the wind and went up to her knees. Her white blouse was on and her whole outfit made her look like the most beautiful person on earth, even if it was an outfit she got at a cheap store. The money or brand didn't matter. You didn't need that to look great. And her mom proved it.
Her mom was also wearing a silver necklace with a silver heart at the end and silver earrings that dangled down from her ears. In addition she had on a silver fat bracelet with a flower design engraved in it. Then her make up was a pink touch of lip-gloss, little mascara and eyeliner, and a purple shade of eye shadow to go with her chocolate eyes.
Sometimes it seemed to the girl that her "mom" didn't really care about her, sometimes she wondered why the woman even adopted her if she never cared about her. But that was just how the girl felt.
The girl had radiant jade green eyes and pink hair that fell to the shoulder and was layered with bangs. She was wearing the Konoha uniform. Which consisted of black shoes and blue knee high socks with a dark blue mini skirt. A white blouse was buttoned up and a blue and black tie went loosely around her neck. The whitesleeves of the T-shirtrolled up to her shoulders and she was wearing clear lip-gloss and blue eye shadow with eyeliner. She held the black jacket with the Konoha High School simbol in the upper left hand corner in her hand.
This school didn't mind people making little adjustments to their uniform as long as they still had black shoes, knee high blue socks, and the shirt and tie on. Wearing the jacket was optional thankfully, Konoha wasn't very strict on uniforms. The only time you had to wear the jacket was if another school visited or at an assembly and etc.
"Mom, why the rush?" asked the pink haired girl just a step behind her mother.
"I have to leave for work honey, I just got the job yesterday, I'm sorry, but I will be late if I don't leave for work soon," said her mom not even glancing at the girl.
Her mom had been looking for a job before they had even gotten to the place they live in now. Apparently someone had accepted her application.
"Here we are! Now go in there and grab a schedule and everything else. I'm sorry I can't stay but I'm going to be late, and that won't look good on the first day." Said her mom very fast. And with that the woman rushed back for the door leading to the outside without even a goodbye. The girl watched as her mom ran off with sad eyes.
When she had first moved in with her "mom" at the age of 5 things were great. She spent a bunch of time with her and they had fun. Then at the age of 8 she started dating more often and having longer work hours and their relationship sort of broke apart.
They didn't talk or go places as much and the girl could just leave her house without telling anyone and her mom wouldn't care. Then again, her mom was never home all the time.
Now the girl was a sixteen-year-old teenager who had just moved very reluctantly. She had argued but her mom always won. So they moved from a condo to a two-story house. The reason that the girl was told was because there were better jobs here that could pay for more and let them afford the house and clothes.
Still it was very unfair of her mom and at the moment the girl felt such hatred but then furrowed her eyebrows and took a deep breath in and out. 'Just think this through calmly,' thought the girl in her head as she stared at the ground.
She sighed and looked up at the office then headed in. There was a lady in there at a desk working on a bunch of papers that were scattered everywhere.
"Um, I need my schedule, I'm new here and this is my first day," said the girl with pink hair.
"Ah yes, and you are?" asked the lady at the desk as she peered over the top of her glasses.
"Haruno Sakura," said the girl with a faint smile.
"Yes, yes, um, here is your schedule to all your classes, teachers and room numbers. And we have a student to escort you to your next class and tell you the rules and such." Said the lady pointing to where the waiting room was.
"Right," said Sakura hesitantly, "um, thank you." The lady only nodded and continued on what she was doing.
Sakura headed for the door to the waiting room and slowly opened it. Inside was only one person. It was a girl with dark hair that was put into two buns in the back and bangs hanging in front like a curtain. She had beautiful brown eyes and wore a similar uniform to Sakura's, a warm smile was on when she noticed Sakura.
"You must be Sakura, yes?" asked the girl giving Sakura a questioning glance. Sakura nodded her head and grinned. "That's good, my name is Tenten and I will be showing you around the school." She grinned and led Sakura out the door, "who do you have next?" asked Tenten.
"Umm, let's see, right now is the first class period, right?" asked Sakura. Tenten nodded her head in reply. "I have Hatake Kakashi during first period," Sakura said as she looked at her schedule for the rest of the year.
"Oh, really? I have him too!" said Tenten grinning madly, "awesome! By the way, that class is like a free time because Kakashi sensei is always, and I mean always, late. He makes up these lame excuses that no one believes and so basically we have more then half the period to ourselves." Tenten had already taken a hold of Sakura's arm and was dragging her in the direction of the classroom. "Unfortunately he's probably already in the classroom seeing as the class has already been on for thirty minutes."
Sakura watched as Tenten lead her through the long deserted hallways. There was a left, another left, a right, up the stairs, to the right, and then Sakura got lost. She had no clue where they were anymore. The school was only three stories high but it had a large landscape.
The building was amazing from the inside and the outside. Outside there were small light green trees lining the sides of the building. In addition there were tiny purple and pink flowers in little groups around the trees. The building itself had windows in rows showing three floors of classrooms inside.
And on the bottom floor were large windows that showed into the commons, or cafeteria, and then there was an extra building to the left. That one had the track field in front of it and there were bike racks on the sides. It was a red and white building and it looked very clean, like someone cleaned it every hour.
From the inside were halls that spread to different places and classrooms and the stairs were at the end of two certain hallways. In fact when you stepped into the building there was only one large main hallway connecting to all the others. At the end of the main hallway was the office that had glass covering the office attendant behind it. The only way to get something from her was a hole at the bottom of the window.
"How do you remember where everything is?" asked Sakura as Tenten led the way through all the twists and turns.
"Memory. When you first get here it looks all confusing, like a maze, but once you know where everything is then you get used to it and start knowing your way around." Said Tenten smiling at Sakura.
"I see,"
"I'll help you find your way through your classes for the next week, it can be tough sometimes to find your way." Said Tenten.
"Thank you," replied Sakura. Then she followed Tenten in silence and looked at the floor with a whole bunch of thoughts flooding her head.
'What will everyone think of me? Who will be my friend? At least I have Tenten, but she probably has more, better, friends then me, I mean, we just met. I wonder what my teachers will be like, will I get lost?' etc. you know, the normal worried thoughts that go through your head when you're a new kid.
Suddenly, before Sakura knew it Tenten stopped in front of a door.
"Well, this is our class," said Tenten pointing to the door grinning. There was a name at the top of the door reading, 'Hatake Kakashi Room 207'. "Kakashi must already be in there since there's no noise coming from the room." Stated Tenten as she listened to the classroom door. "Come on in, Kakashi is probably expecting us,"
Tenten looked at Sakura's worried face then gave her a reassuring smile. "It's alright, the kids in this class aren't that bad, except if you get too close to Sasuke-kun some of his fan girls are in this class and they will be very angry."
Sakura just raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"Oh, Sasuke-kun is this guy that every girl "loves" and girls hate itwhen other girls get close to him. Which has never happened.I only know they get mad becausewhen a girl asks him a question all the other girls give her death glares. Even if Sasuke doesn't respond."
"Sounds interesting." Said Sakura, "Are you a fan girl?" Tenten looked shocked and was speechless for a couple seconds.
"Of course not! To me Sasuke is a jerk that has no feelings and is isolated from everybody else in the world. Except maybe Naruto, but-" Tenten was cut off by a hand.
"Okay I get it," said Sakura grinning then took her hand off Tenten's mouth.
"You'll find out how he is with everybody later. Just watch." Said Tenten with a serious look on her face. Sakura just raised her eyebrows and grinned.
"We better hurry, we've been standing out here for too long already." Said Tenten looking at a watch on her wrist. Then she looked at Sakura and smiled, "Good luck on your first class," then she reached her hand for the knob and turned it. She pulled at the door and it came open without a sound. Sakura could hear a man talking in the classroom and people turning pages in books and scratching down notes with a pencil.
Tenten looked behind her and smiled at Sakura then stepped inside. Sakura came in right after Tenten a little hesitantly and shut the door. At the sound of the door closing everybody except an occasional few, looked up.
Some people stared at Sakura in bewilderment while others didn't even bother. A lot of boys she noticed were staring at her very perverted making Sakura feel awkward. The teacher looked up as well and greeted Tenten as she took her seat in the third row. Then he looked at Sakura.
He had white spiked up hair and a black cloth that covered his mouth and nose. A head protector was covering his left eye so that only his right eye was visible. To Sakura it looked a bit odd.
"Ah, you must be the new student," said Kakashi, it looked like he was smiling but Sakura couldn't really tell, "I'm your teacher, Hatake Kakashi."
Sakura only nodded her head and grinned.
"Great! Well why don't you introduce yourself to the class." Said Kakashi with a kind voice.
"Umm, okay," said Sakura hesitantly, she turned to face the class and smiled. It felt awkward to Sakura as all eyes were on her now and most of the guys looked like they were in love with her.
"Hi, I'm Sakura Haruno and I just moved to Japan from America, though I'm originally from here." Said Sakura adding a small smile at the end and trying not to look into everybody's eyes. Some boys started to drool a little bit (making Sakura a bit nervous) while the girls looked at her as if it was an everyday thing.
"Well Ms. Haruno, unfortunately for you, this class is quite big, and since you just got here there aren't many seats. Except for the seat between Naruto and Sasuke." Said Kakashi. Suddenly Sakura could see the daggers many girls were sending her in their eyes. The ones that didn't care before suddenly got angry and shot Sakura death glares at the mention of her sitting next to Sasuke. "Boys please show Ms. Haruno where you sit."
A hand went up and waved energetically in the back row next to the window. Sakura looked in that direction and saw a boy with blonde spiky hair and blue eyes grinning madly.
There was an empty seat to the left of him and to the left of the empty seat sat a boy with dark blue hair who had his hands folded together and was leaning his chin on it. He was just staring straight ahead not even paying attention. Like he didn't know and didn't care what was going on. Sakura just looked at the two. Especially the dark haired one, and Sasuke noticed this.
'Great, she'll probably be another annoying fan girl that always gets on my nerves and bugs me. Aren't I lucky,' though Sasuke sighing and running a hand through his dark blue hair. 'I hope she isn't like the other fan girls,' Sasuke grinned at the thought, "Keh"'yeah right, like that would happen,'
The truth was Sakura was staring at him because she was trying to figure him out. After everything Tenten had said, and because in her eyes, he was definitely a hottie, but she made looks the last thing that she looked for in a guy. The way he was sitting there made him look uncaring and unfeeling.
'Naruto and Sasuke, those are the names that Tenten was talking about. Sasuke must be the dark haired one. He's definitely hott but he looks like he is… insensitive. I wonder what all the girls see in him. The looks probably, I mean, he is hott.'
Thought Sakura as she slowly made her way to the two.
'And the energetic one looks like he must be Naruto. Tenten said that Sasuke is isolated from everyone except him. How can those two be friends? They look like total opposites. Though there might've been more but I covered Tenten's mouth. Dang, I should just ask her again later.'
The boy's uniform was black shoes, white socks,dark, dark, bluepants, a white, long sleeved, button up, shirt, with the same jacket and color tie that Sakura had.
Sasuke had taken off his jacket and flipped out the collar of the shirt withtwo buttons left un-buttoned at the top. He rolled up the sleeves to his elbows and left the tiejust hangingaround his neck. It wasn't tied at the top, itlooked like it was just thrown over his shoulders and put under the collar then was forgotten. He left his shirt un tuckedand his pants werea very dark blueand baggy so you could only see the front part of his shoes that were black.
Naruto had his jacket on but not buttoned up. His shirt was un tucked and thecollar was flipped outlike Sasuke's was. The tie was on loosely around his neck andhe had dark blue pants that weren't baggy butdidn't perfectly fit him either. Naruto wasn't half bad looking really, rather cute, but compared to Sasuke he wasn't that great looking.
Sakura stepped up to the desk and the blonde one jumped up out of his seat and was smiling and all energetic. He opened his mouth to say something to Sakura but Kakashi cut him off.
"Naruto now is not the time to be loud and be social. Please sit down." Kakashi sounded bored, like he had to say that all the time. Naruto frowned disappointed and took his seat again.
"Dope," came a quiet voice from the dark blue haired boy.
"Don't call me a dope!" yelled Naruto jumping out of his seat.
"Naruto, for the last time, sit down!" said Kakashi in a silent but almost threatening voice. The other boy gave a small grin while Naruto glared at him. Sakura took a seat between the two. Naruto's glare was coming from the right and Sasuke's serious and calm eyes coming from the left of Sakura.
Finally Naruto looked away and Sasuke smirked.
"Today you will read pages 135-150 with the people at your desk. And please keep a quiet voice." Said Kakashi then he took a seat and pulled out a small book. Sakura could barely read the cover. All she knew was that it was called Icha Icha Paradise.
"Well my name is Naruto." Said Naruto grinning and holding out a hand for Sakura to shake. She smiled a warm smile and shook his hand. "That is the insensitive, uncaring, jerk, Sasuke-teme." Sakura raised her eyebrows at Naruto and looked at Sasuke. He sent the worst glare Sakura had ever seen at Naruto. Then he looked at Sakura and stood up.
"I'm Sasuke from the Uchiha clan," said Sasuke shoving his hands into his pockets.
Apparently there were a lot of eyes watching the group and when Sasuke spoke to Sakura, she could feel the intense glares a bunch of people were giving her. It sent shivers crawling up her spine.
"I'm Haruno Sakura." Said Sakura smiling and shrugging off the feeling. Sasuke didn't return the smile, just kept staring at her, as if he was looking through her. Sakura felt awkward as Sasuke was staring at her with such intensity in those eyes.
'That's wierd, she's not nervous around me, maybe she is different, or maybe it's just an act, she'll fall for me in a week, like all the others' Sasuke shuddered at the thought as he looked at Sakura.
"Sasuke! Quit staring at her like that, can't you see it's making her nervous?" asked Naruto staring at Sasuke. Sasuke switched his gaze from Sakura to Naruto and the two just glared at each other for the longest time. Sakura let out a tired sigh then got her book and decided to start without them.
"Okay, so where do we start, top of page 135?" asked Sakura sitting down. The two boys broke their gaze and looked at her.
"Hn." Replied Sasuke.
"Yeah, whatever." Said Naruto. They started reading for five minutes and Sakura found that Kakashi kept on making tiny giggles as he was reading. Sakura honestly did not want to know what the book was about. Then after aboutsix minutes the bell rang out through the whole school making the kids in the class look up in alarm.
"Oh, I guess I wasn't watching the time, sorry, go on and leave for your next class." Said Kakashi not even looking up from his book but was grinning a childish grin. Sakura looked at him oddly then started packing her stuff.
"He's always late to our classand then he makes us be late to our next class too!" mumbled Naruto justshoving loose papers into his backpack. They got all crumpled up and Naruto could barely bet the zipper to close.Sasuke already had his stuff ready and was standing up watching Naruto.
"Naruto, hurry up, you'll be late." Said Sasuke calmly walking past him.
"What about you! Your always late!" yelled Narutoforcefully zipping up his backpack and chasing after Sasuke. Sakura watched them go in interest. "Goodbye Sakura-chan, I hope to see you later!" Naruto yelled looking at Sakura and waving then walking off.
Sasuke just made a "Hn." sound.
"Hey, Sakura, come on, I'll take you to your next class." Said Tenten coming up behind Sakura. Sakura turned and grinned.
"Thanks, I'm with Akame Iwana next." Said Sakura looking at her schedule once again.
"I see, I'm sorry Sakura but I'm not in that class." Said Tenten with a worried look on her face. Sakura was disappointed for a second then brightened up.
"That's okay, I'll survive." Said Sakura in a fake cheerful voice. Tenten smiled but was still hesitant.
"Okay, I'll walk you there. Oh and by the way, I would like to introduce you to everyone else during lunch. I'll look for you before lunch and walk with you to my table." she said. Sakura gave her a warm smile.
"That would be great, thank you," said Sakuraand with that they took off. Sakura knew that Tenten was itching to ask her about what had happened when she had sat with Sasuke and Naruto but kept her mouth shut.
Sakura was just fine with that; she really didn't feel like talking at the time. So they were quiet as they walked through the hallways that were once deserted and now full with high school students rushing off to their next class.
Yes! The Prologue is complete! There wasn't much going on in this chapter. I was basically just explaining everything first. More stuff will happen in the next chapter. Basically Sakura meets Ino and they become friends and Sakura finds out about Ino's "crush" and more stuff happens between Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Also Sakura meets a couple more people and learns about Tenten's crush. In addition she meets the fan girls and that gets ugly. So anyways please read and review! Thank you lots! Chapter one should be coming soon!
