Chapter 5: A nightmare of dreams
Sasuke stayed quiet and sighed; he wasn't in the mood for anything to happen today. He wondered if he should just skip school today. He felt a strong grip as someone had jumped on his back. Her blonde hair covered Sasuke's face making him automatically know it was Ino.
Sasuke took a long sigh as he knew this was going to be a long day. He had already got his homework mostly done and he didn't care enough to finish.
"So, Sasuke, why don't you ditch Sakura and her giant forehead and start hanging out with me?"
Ino had now climbed off Sasuke's back and stood beside him taunting Sakura. Sakura looked as if she was going kill Ino any second now.
"Man, maybe I should stop this, Sakura really needs to not get into anymore trouble than what's happened to her." said Sasuke.
Sasuke attention was now caught by Neji who walked right by and pushed Sasuke. Neji then looked over at Hinata with anger. Two other thugs were standing beside Neji. In fact Neji was one of the stronger fighters of the gang that Kyle was in.
"So what do we have here the loser squad. Well most of them anyway... Sasuke you really need to start hanging out with us. Hinata if you think that idiot Naruto will scare me than you thought wrong. In fact just for that, maybe I should teach you a lesson Hinata."
Neji jumped at Hinata and thrust his arm into her gut causing her to bend over from the pain. Sasuke knew that Neji and Hinata had bad terms but to go this far didn't even seem right to him but Neji would even give him quite a challenge due to his odd fighting style.
Naruto begin to growl and move toward Neji until Sasuke stuck his hand out to stop him.
Usually Sasuke could care less about anyone other than himself and he still didn't care much about Neji's affairs but his own and he knew Neji was playing a factor in the gang war. Hinata's eyes looked so innocent it made Sasuke feels bad if he didn't do anything to help.
"So I know about a gang war coming up and I was wondering what's it all about?"
"Hey Uchiha how about minding you own business you punk" said one of the thugs standing beside Neji.
The thug fell to his knees so quickly that the others around Sasuke were staring in awe at how fast Sasuke's speed had increased. Neji started laughing and walked off with other thug trailing.
"Well Sasuke if you want to settle this meet me on the roof after school with your little peep squad and."
Neji said this referring to Hinata, Sakura, Naruto, and Ino.
"Sasuke-kun you will definitely win you are great and the sexy too" said Ino as Sakura gave her another death look. Ino smiled…
WILL MR.UCHIHA, MR.UZUMKAI, and MISS.HARUNO REPORT TO THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura all but screamed when Ino jumped on Sasuke. She probably would have, but her voice was also pretty worn after all the yelling yesterday. She settled for a death look. Neji came up. He was a bad man, and in a gang, she couldn't remember which but she knew he was involved in the up coming war.
'Did he just punch Hinata? HE DID!' Sakura's eyes all but popped out of her head. Neji seemed to have settled but asked Sasuke to a fight on the roof after school. She would have been fine if Ino hadn't opened her big fat mouth. "That's it Ino-pig, I'm gonna..."
The announcement echoed for her, Naruto, and Sasuke to go to the office 'immediately' it made it sound official. She huffed and walked away, turning to give Sasuke and Naruto the I-KNOW-your-right-behind-me look it was angered and all but screamed at them to get moving or get lost. Sakura knew this day had started off good, but already made it down hill. Her angry mood would send the rest of the day, spiraling downward. 'Ino-pig...I will get you back.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto was angered by the scene of Hinata being knocked down by her cousin. "Neji," growled Naruto as Sasuke accepted the challenge on the roof.
Naruto heard the announcement like the other two but he was worried about Hinata. He helped her up to her feet with a, "are you okay?"
Hinata stood up and said, "I...I think I'm alright."
"You need to see the nurse anyways," said Naruto worried. "I'm fine," said Hinata looking away. "Oh," she cried startling Naruto, "I forgot to tell you, Iruka-sensi has asked me to be your tutor since you have been so far behind on all your homework this year...That is if its okay by you?"
"Huh, well its okay I guess, why don't you meet me at my house? I might be a little late..." said Naruto staring after Neji and then looking at Sasuke and Sakura going into the school.
"Alright Naruto-kun, I'll see you later." she said as she turned away and hurried to class. "I guess she is okay," said Naruto looking after her, "she was even smiling when she left."
Naruto hurried after Sakura and Sasuke and caught up to them. They all came into the principal's office.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Welcome back, I hope you at least have something to show for all the grief you have put us through." spoke the principal dryly.
"Yea I got something for you, you son of a..." muttered Naruto.
"Well?"
"Yea, sure I found out that the three gangs involved are Shikamaru, Temari, and Kyle's gang. I can even name a few of the key players for Shikamaru and Temari's group. Kyle's is a relatively new group but nothing I can't find out soon enough. It's about the usual battle over gang territory, Shikamaru and Temari feel that they own the school because most of Shikamaru's gang goes to this school and Temari has more gang members in this school than any other affiliation. Kyle's group originated here so they consider this their home turf."
"The only wild factor here is Kyle's group. They seem to have info on other gangs that they should not know. In fact rumors are that every territory they ever took was from a gang that just happened to be exhausted from fighting its rival the week earlier. Other than that there isn't really a whole lot going on." Finished up the bone-headed ninja as he stared at the principal his eyes a little dark from his anger.
"Fine, that will do but I may call you back if I feel that I need anything more." said the principal waving him off.
"Hey! You said you'd wipe our records clean once we've found out some info on the war. We held up our bargain now you need to as well."
"Naruto that was before last night now I have even more stuff against the three of you if you want that gone you will do what I say. I will call you up if I need to know something." he stared at Naruto, "do I make myself clear?"
Naruto growled. "Dismissed." spoke the principal and Naruto filed out with the others.
Walking over to the window the principal checked the blinds. Kakashi came into the office and laid some papers on the principal's desk. "I'm sure you heard that Kakashi?"
"It would be hard not to with Naruto being the loud mouth that he is."
"The thing that trouble's me is what Naruto said about Kyle's gang having knowledge of the workings of the various gangs. There are few in the police stations that even know the true hierarchies of the various gangs."
"Been keeping in touch with your old contacts at the station?"
"Yes," said the principal sitting down and sighing, "I hope it won't come to this but we might need an infiltration mission. I can trust Sakura but Sasuke and especially Naruto are too unpredictable. Unfortunately they are also the most necessary for what I need."
"Me and Iruka will look over them and guide them as you have requested."
"I thought that Orochimaru was with you?" "He said that he was sick and couldn't come in today." Explained Kakashi calmly as he looked over at the principal.
"Hm, Kakashi I just know that something horrible is going to happen. I still haven't lost my police intuition and something tells me that I'm missing something, something important..." the principal then sighed and rubbed his eyes, "I'll call you later Kakashi." The principal then turned around in his swivel chair and stared out the window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Class had begun and Sasuke was weary of all that was going on.
"Geez now I have to deal with Neji it was almost like Destiny has pulled me in and won't let me go."
The class had settled Sasuke looked over noticing all usual people Shikamaru, Neji, Sakura, Naruto, and Shino. He felt like something bad was going to happen to him. It didn't help his dreams always foreshadowed his death and Naruto's.
The teacher walked in it was Mr.Sarutobi. He was pretty good teacher his knowledge was surpassing that of most teachers at the school. Not to mention he was one of few teachers Sasuke liked.
"Before we begin class today I'd like to mention that in class rooms 301 and 302 they will be selling prom tickets after school today, so good luck finding a date."
He begin to chuckle somewhat at his final sentence as he turned to face the board.
"Well who knew the gang war would be the day after the prom. Pshh it seems very suspicious to me." Sasuke said this in low tone so he only could hear what came out of his mouth.
"Also I'm sure this would be the perfect place to gather information about the gangs. We have no choice but to go to the prom even though I partially disprove of social events."
Sasuke attention was broke by the sound of the teacher closing a book.
"Today at lunch we will also be holding a special tri-athletic event. In this time your lunch will be extended onto next class period. In addition you will form a team of 3 people and compete in competition with other teams at relay and other such events. So I pray everyone has already signed up if you haven't than the deadline is end of next class period."
After Sarutobi finished his announcements he started writing on board.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura wasn't paying much attention, but the word prom brought her back to reality. She had totally forgotten. She ran her fingers through the choppy hair that went to her shoulder blades, while it used to go to her lower back. Sakura wondered who she would go to prom with. She could have most anyone in her grade, but the one person she wanted 'didn't like social gatherings' or whatever. She could go with Naruto, but...that would be cruel, 'I guess I just won't go...' Sasuke then brought up it could give us information.
A plan formed in Sakura's head... Kyle most likely wouldn't suspect a thing of innocent sweet Sakura. The bell rang and just as Sasuke was about to exit, she grabbed his shoulder "I have a plan, it could get us a lot of information, but I can't tell you because you need to be natural...you'll find out later..." She shot out and made for her next class. If Sasuke wanted to sign himself up for the tri-athlethon or whatever sure, she wouldn't complain...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke heard what Sakura had to say and just shook his head in agreement. He didn't plan on signing them up for tri-athletic thing due to there business with other affairs involving the gangs. Although it would be interesting to watch, he guessed that he could try to gather information during it since they wouldn't be having class. He appeared over the list of people who had signed up and of course Neji's name was located near the top of list. Sasuke smiled a little bit knowing this would be a good time to gather more information from Neji if possible. He walked out of the classroom now being the last one to leave instead of the first.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto was not paying attention in his class; it was a different one from both Sakura and Sasuke. All he could think about was getting back at Neji for what he did. It wasn't until his teacher made the announcement at the end of class about the prom that Naruto paid attention.
"Aw man not this crap again." muttered Naruto depressed. He never had a date to any of them mainly because he was looked down upon by all the girls at the school. All of them thought he was a complete and total loser. Heck he couldn't even find the courage to ask Sakura out, even as a pity date...
Naruto walked out of the classroom more down than normal. The next class would of course be another long one but every minute felt like an hour at this point so what did he care? As he made his way down the hall he noticed the tri-athelon event was scheduled for later that week on a poster of school events.
"What do I care? Its not like that thing is even interesting anyways, I mean who cares?" said Naruto shrugging, he could win most of the events but he doubted anyone would team with him, seeing as how many in the school considered him a dork. Well except for the ones he beat the hell out of, they just ran from him. Heh heh heh.
"Naruto shouldn't you be in class by now?" asked Kakashi out of nowhere.
Naruto jumped, Kakashi always kind of creeped him out, it was because he never took off that mask.
"What do I care about class I'm so far behind that there ain't no way I can keep up."
"Well judging by your improper grammar and use of a double negative I take it you are failing your English class as well." sighing Kakashi looked at Naruto. "I thought Iruka-san managed to find someone who was going to help you didn't he tell you?"
"Oh yea, Hinata's nice, but you and I both know that I'm an idiot why do all of you even try? You've all seen my record."
"Yes, we have, and just to let you know Naruto, Iruka and I used to be exactly like you and Sasuke. In fact Iruka used to be just as big a prankster as you."
"Iruka-sensi, like me? Yea right." Naruto said sarcasm dripping from his voice. "Believe what you want Naruto. Look I will take you to your class, lord knows if I leave you here you might cause even more damage to school property out of boredom."
Naruto let Kakashi lead him to his class. As he passed he heard whispers issuing from the people who saw Naruto on the News last night. Naruto sighed; it was only a matter of time before everyone here learned about his past as well. And he thought he was going to have trouble finding a date before!
Kakashi looked down at Naruto and thought to himself, "Naruto you think that you are incapable of making something of yourself. But if only you learned to use your potential you would make an excellent student."
The two of them made their way to the classroom door.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the hall Sakura made her way on a detour to her class. This could be a very bad idea...could even blow up in her face, but living in the now, it seems the best way to go.
Dear Kyle,
I hear you have yet to find a date for the prom. I find it hard to believe, but what the heck. I have no date, you have no date (so I'm told) how about we go together? Write me back and put it in my locker...I'm pretty sure you remember where it is...
Awaiting an Answer,
Sakura Haruno
she walked past Kyle and slipped the neatly folded note into his hand. He defiantly noticed it, and she would have her answer by next period. Kyle and Sakura dated for about a month or two before they broke up. They never really had a reason, they just went their ways. Sakura made it to her class and was in her seat right when the late bell rang. Her heart was racing rapid fire, and she was gasping for air...'WHAT IN GOD'S NAME DID I JUST DO!' I don't know, I was napping, fill me in?
