AN: Just so you know, the chapter 16 was Sasuke's dream and chapter 15 was Sakura's, a part of Sasuke's dream. Get it? Sorry, it's a bit confusing.

I had another thought since was already getting so confused. Sasuke, Sakura and Co. are in grade 6. Sorry but my grade levels are different from yours. Tenten, Neji and Lee are in Grade 7 okay? Now, for the student council, it is for grade school, meaning grades below 1st year high school. In the school early morning meetings, I change my mind. It will be the whole entire grade school ONLY. No Itachi and other high school. The literature project of writing a romance story was a connecting project, meaning grade 7 was included in this. So, Tenten, Lee and Neji are NOT classmates or batch mates with Sakura and Co. We clear? I am SO sorry. I promise I will try not making so many mistakes anymore.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! ….Sadly….

Chapter 16- Voting, and the Chosen Ones

The regular morning assemblies occurred in the gym again. All the grade school students were there and so was the school principal. Tsunade had an important message to say to them. She stood at the center of the stage in the gymnasium.

She breathed deeply and hushed everyone. Behind her sat Itachi and the student council vice-president for high school.

'I wonder what Itachi is doing here? And who is that girl beside him?' Sakura wondered as she spotted Itachi and a woman about his age sitting beside him.

"As you all know, the voting for student council will happen during lunch time, right here in the gym. The staff and I have been thinking and we have decided that there should be three positions in the student council instead of two. That will be the secretary. The secretary will do some other things that the president and vice president can't handle."

Gasps and whispers filled the room. There were about a thousand students in the room. Tsunade expected this to come. It was quite a big shock for this to happen especially since it never happened before.

"Okay, you can pipe down now. Here is Itachi, the student council president of high school, to give you the rules and stuff like that." Tsunade got tired of hushing and explaining so she gave it over to Itachi. That surely answered Sakura's question.

And again, the room was filled with whispers, whistles, claps and hoots for the third time. Itachi smiled and waved at his 'fans' as he approached the microphone. Sakura was one of those people clapping while Sasuke was just boringly staring daggers at his brother. He shifted his gaze to Sakura and sighed.

"Did you know that my brother was together with someone?" Sakura stared at him surprisingly and watched as he pointed towards the girl who sat beside him.

Once Itachi spoke, everyone kept quiet.

"Thank you everyone. Well, to explain things easily, there are three papers that will be posted in the school board in the hallway. Those are separated into the president, vice-president, and secretary. Of course, there will be a limit to the entries of people that can sign up so you should hurry. I've done my part. Here is Misaki to explain the rest of the rules."

He took a step to the side and Misaki stood up. Misaki was the one who was sitting beside Itachi awhile ago. She nodded at Itachi and smiled at him as she passed him to go to the microphone.

She was fairly pretty, Sakura had to admit, and was a student with high marks like Itachi. Of course, she wouldn't have become student body vice-president without the help of her friends and popularity.

"Yeah, so, Tsunade-sama must have told you that you must have a certain grade in order to become part of the student council. If you really think you have the ability and grade to become part of this council then feel free to sign up…" She explained and went on.

"The teachers will be taking out some of those 10 people in the list if either, you don't have the grade for it or, it is because of your record. In new students' cases, it is up to them to decide."

Sakura could've sworn that Misaki glared at her for a moment just then but she didn't think anyone saw that. It sent shivers down her spine for some unusual reason. Misaki began ending her explanation.

"Well, good luck to everyone!" with that, she walked back to her seat beside Itachi. Tsunade stood up again to end it.

"Okay, well, have fun and good luck! You may go now."

Everyone gushed out of the gymnasium and started their infamous noise and whispers. They formed a bit of their own groups and whispered making loud noises. Sakura, Tenten, Hinata and Ino followed out of the gym and began their own talk as well.

"Sakura, I seriously think you should run!" Tenten said, enthusiastically. Ino just snorted in disbelief and replied raising her chin high.

"Forehead-girl? For student council? NO WAY!" She began this menacing laughter but Tenten could only raise her brow.

"I th—think she sh-should run as well." Hinata stammered as she smiled at Sakura.

As the two, Tenten and Ino were debating over whether she should run or not, Sakura was deep in thought, thinking about other things.

'I swear, she was glaring at me! That girl…Misaki, was it? I hope she doesn't hate me! Hmm…maybe she thinks I'm some refugee or maybe Sasuke told her something bad about me! He is so dead!' Inner Sakura spoke. She had a vein popping out of her head unconsciously.

Hinata was worried about her friend since, looking at Sakura more closely; she looked like she wanted to kill somebody with her raging eyes and popping vein. The poor girl sweat dropped and cautiously approached Sakura.

"Sa-Sakura-san…"

She carefully reached her hand out but before she could reach Sakura, she saw piercing daggers from Sakura that looked very evil. It lasted a moment and Hinata could only feel a shiver down her spine. After that moment, Sakura turned back to her original self and smiled at Hinata.

"Yes?" Hinata sighed.

"Nothing. Well, we want you to run for student council. I-is that o-okay with you?" Sakura stared at Hinata for a moment and thought in her head. 'Hmm, maybe that would be the perfect revenge…the student council…' she smirked evilly once again.

"..Sakura-san?..." Tenten gave up and turned to Sakura.

"Sakura! Wake up!" She screamed at her ear and she finally woke up form her evil plans.

"What?"

"Are you planning to join? If you do…then we can support you. I mean, they did say that they accept new students. You have your fan club too." Ino couldn't resist the urge to roll her eyes.

'Itachi can notice me if I do! Yes! That's right! I will!' She was back to her inner self mode.

"Forehead-girl, stop dreaming! You are gonna hit that post---Ooh!" Ino watched Sakura walk right into a post. Everyone who passed by laughed at her…even Sasuke.

"Baka ne!" He walked passed her laughing with his hands shuffled in his pockets.

"That guy! Darn it!" Sakura regained her posture and punched the post. It created a dent with her fist shaping in.

Her friends couldn't help but let out a sweat drop. Sakura furrowed her eyebrows and sent glaring daggers at Sasuke's back. When they walked right into a big bunch of people, Tenten asked, more like begged actually, Sakura to run as president for grade student council.

"Hmm…sure why not!" She grinned and gave them a peace sign. Ino placed her hands on her waist and sighed loudly.

"Whatever. I know you won't win. If Sasuke would run against you, I would vote for him instead but I have no choice but to vote for you then, right?" Sakura grinned at Ino cheerfully and hugged her.

"Thank you! So, where is this sheet of paper?" She asked as she was hugging Ino. Ino was trying to push her away from her waist.

"Right over there." Tenten pointed to the crowd and stampede of people. Sakura gaped at the swarm of students covering her path to the sign up sheet.

"Let's hope th-that there I s-still space. Good luck!" Hinata said. They pushed her toward the crowd but Sakura was trying to fight it.

"Wait! Wha—what about you guys?" They gave her an assuring smile.

"Don't worry, we'll be right here!" They pushed her into the crowd and backed far away from the crowd.

"Great." Sakura sighed and searched for the board right away.

Once she found it, she took out a ball pen and found three papers. Under the secretary, the people listed under it were Rock Lee, Inuzuka Kiba, and other people she didn't know. There were only two spots left for secretary. (AN: Ehe, sorry. I needed people who had to run! Couldn't think of any extra OCs so I just placed those names but don't worry. They don't really get OOC)

Under Vice president, it was one of Ino's androids long ago (AN: Sorry, no name. xD), Uzumaki Naruto 'Naruto…Baka.' Sakura just stared blankly on his name and saw that t was his writing. 'What an idiot'. There were also other people listed there but Sakura didn't know them as well. Shino was listed as well. One space was left under Shino's name.

Lastly, under president was Hyuuga Neji, and….nobody. It was only him. 'Wow. People must be afraid to run against him.' Sakura thought about it. 'If I run for president…I don't think I want to run for president…' She turned to the vice president and saw somebody come up to write her name under it.

'So there's only one more in Secretary and vice-president huh? I have to make a decision quick.' Suddenly, an idea popped up on her head. "I am SO good!"

Sakura hurriedly wrote and wiggled her way out of the crowd. She saw her friends waving at her. Right after talking, they walked to their next classes. Sakura headed to district B with Hinata, where she was going to have homeroom.

Hours later, it was already the moment of truth, wherein people were going to see who passed and who they could vote for their student council. When the four girls met up, they immediately proceeded to the gym and saw that it was filled with students. There were teachers there as well.

Sakura kept mischievously smiling the whole time until they reached the gym. Thinking about her plan, she really wanted to see what would happen next. Ino suddenly just sighed loudly from behind and screamed out in a sad attempt to sound sad, according to Sakura.

"If only Sasuke was going to run for the student council this school year! OH WHY! Couldn't he just run ONCE!" Ino sighed again.

"Well, you can't do anything but who knows, maybe God might just finally answer your prayers." She grinned back at her.

"Hey forehead-girl, I don't know what you are saying but there is something up with you today. You seem very happy." The blonde gave her friend an I-am-on-to-you look.

Minutes later, when everybody had settled down, Tsunade appeared on the stage again and announced who were going to run next for president. There were long papers that popped and dangled from the ceiling. There were names on the long papers that dangled on top of a booth.

It read Hyuuga Neji. Tsunade said over the microphone what she had come to say.

"Well, as you all well know, Hyuuga Neji was the only one qualified and…written under the list of president so he is the candidate for president…again. As for vice-president, we have a new surprise there." Tsunade gave them all a big grin as three long papers popped out again under two other booths.

It read Aburame Shino, Kisara Minoh (OC), and….Uchiha Sasuke. Everyone gasped when they saw his name, especially the one whose name was dangling right in front of his face. Sasuke just bore his eyes into the paper and made sure his eyes weren't cheating him. Yup, it was his name alright! No mistake in it.

Ino couldn't say anything and so can everybody else inside the gym. It was so silent; you can hear crickets even if it was still daylight. Tsunade sweat-dropped at their expression and gained her composure.

"Alright. I was as shocked as you guys were but you didn't have to be so over-reacting." Still no respond.

Naruto wasn't shock at first. In fact, he was screaming his head off.

"What the---! I didn't get in? Oh WHY? Kami-sama, you must have an important reason for all this! I mean, Sasuke got in, so why not me huh?" He kept cursing between those lines.

Sakura was the only one who found really funny. So funny, she was laughing so much but nobody really minded it as they were too indulged into the situation. 'Tough luck Naruto. Maybe if you keep dreaming on it, you can get it.' She giggled inwardly.

It was a bit too over-reacting but…this IS a bit un-Sasuke like.

"Alright forehead-pinky-laughing-like-a-pig girl…what did you do? Look at Sasuke. He looks very…" she stared at Sasuke twitch and glare daggers at the banner, wishing it wasn't there. "…erm…sad. You better apologize." Sakrua scoffed back.

"ME? Apologize to him? Why should I? It is called payback. Besides, I thought this was what you wanted."

"It was. If Sasuke wanted to run ON HIS OWN FREAKIN' FREE WILL." She stared back at Sasuke and watched his 'sad' face again. "Look at him Sakura." Sakura didn't look at him; instead, she held her chin high so she wouldn't face Sasuke.

"I SAID LOOK AT HIM!" Ino turned into a different person. She grabbed Sakura's cheeks from behind and made her face Sasuke.

The moment she did, Sasuke gave her a menacing glare. It scared her a bit but when she looked closer into Sasuke's eyes, they darkened a bit. They looked like they wanted to kill someone. Sakura already had an idea who it was. She swallowed a huge lump that was forming up and sweat dropped. They don't look so sad anymore…

She looked away and escaped from Ino's clutches. Soon afterwards, everybody regained back to their normal state and some where staring at Sasuke. The girls, specifically the fan girls of Sasuke, screamed out his name with delight in their squeaky-voices.

"Oh Sasuke-kun! We support you!" One screamed out, which Tsunade heard very well. She twitched a vein and shouted back to keep everyone hushed and afraid of her powerful (AN: Slash evil) aura.

"Alright. For the secretary, we have…" Two papers flew out for the last time. They read Rock Lee and Haruno Sakura.

Knowing Rock Lee…being the president of her fan club, he was quite shocked to know that he was running against his no.1 crush. He approached Sakura and bowed in front of her. Everybody else was staring at them.

"…eh…Lee-kun?" Sakura sweat dropped again for the second time as Lee did his 'strange' actions.

"I am so sorry. If I knew you were going to run for secretary, then I would've stepped down." Sakura was shocked at the same time, embarrassed.

"What?" He stood up straight, from his bow and proceeded to the stage where he told Tsunade he turned down his candidacy.

All the Sakura fans just screamed and did what fans in fan clubs do…

"GO SAKURA!" and "WE SUPPORT YOU!" and also "WE LOVE YOU! YOU CAN TAKE MY HEART TO HEAVEN!" Lame…

Tsunade heard this and twitched again. "Uresai!" Illegally, she threw a shoe at the person who said that last statement. Unfortunately for that guy, he got knocked out that the nurses of the clinic had to bring him to the clinic.

"Anyway, this was a very big shock for the things that happened today which were quite a shock to us all…but anywho! I declare the voting for student council open."

There were six booths all in all to vote in. If it was under Sakura's name, it didn't really matter. There was a slip people get from the teachers in front near the stage where the students write who they want to vote for president, vice president and secretary. Only one slip each.

Sakura carefully observed everyone as they piled up in lines, making the gym a bit more spacious. Minutes after most of the students have voted, Sakura, Tenten, Hinata, and Ino decided to vote already. They were all very sure who they would vote for.

It was announced that by the end of the day they would say who have won, thru speakers. So, after classes, everyone was consciously waiting for the announcement. They were all in their classrooms, sitting quietly. Some were even crossing their fingers…like Tenten.

And then the speakers were turned on.

"Alright. As I said before, I shall now announce who will be part of the student council." A moment of silence….a long one too. Everyone got impatient so they screamed over the speaker, "HURRY UP!" Tsunade seemed to hear it so she began speaking again.

"For president, Hyuuga Neji, as always…Too bad it's his last year in grade school." she said in a very low voice but too bad Neji could here it. He twitched a bit. Unfortunately, he can't do anything about it. It WAS his last year in grade school anyway.

"For vice president…Uchiha Sasuke." And the fans go wild! The fan girls gave their loudest screech ever. All the teachers and boys had to cover their ears. Sasuke did too. "Sasuke-kun, we knew you would win!" one said.

"We love you!" and "We are not worthy for you to take us up into heaven!"

Sadly, Tsunade could hear that. It made her vein twitch just hearing those words. "Uresai!" she screamed over the microphone.

"Anyway…lastly, for secretary, we have Haruno Sakura." And the fans go shouting! All her fan boys were cheering. It was very loud too since, well, the whole grade school (The guys) loved her, like Sasuke's fans. For a new student, it was something you don't see everyday.

"Sakura-chan, I voted for you!" a guy screamed, sort of girly-like. It must've been Naruto, Sakura thought as she sweat dropped. "I knew you were going to be in the student council! It is your destiny of youth!" This one…um…Sakura could tell it was Lee…from the start of the destiny line.

"You are an angel! Take my heart for it is worthy!" Uh, it's THAT guy again. Everyone just fell silent this time and stared at him.

Tsunade, with her super-human hearing senses like Neji, heard that. 'What is it with fans and heaven!' she thought. At the top of her lungs, she wanted to scream so loudly, but it was too illegal.

"If I hear you say that again, I really WILL take you to heaven!" was all she said to him.

And that's how the day ended. Sakura felt relieved at the end of the day with the fact that her plan was a success. Hey, at least everyone was happy right? Well, except maybe Sasuke himself and the ones who lost against him.

Oh well, all is well that ends well…I think. Sakura managed to get out of the school building without looking at Sasuke. Which was a good thing. Ino Tenten, Hinata and Sakura, all walked together back home and ended this day happily.


AN: Eh..hehe...(sweat drop). The starting part was too explain-ful, I know and I am really sorry if i bore you to death. If you are wondering why Misaki was glaring at Sakura, well, you'll just have to keep reading. I bet you find this a weird and boring fic. The next one will happened months later already but they won't really grow up. I just think it would make more sense if I sped things up a bit. R&R please! Sheesh, I ought to make my notes shorter…it reached TEN PAGES!
