Postsecrets: The Naruto Chronicles
Disclaim: I don't own anything but the simple plot-line. Though, I will admit that the latest update in Postsecrets had a postcard that sounded like "Roommates". Go check it out!
School. Naruto never did like it. Of course, when you're going to school in order to escape the person you're rooming with, school was indeed a wonderful thing.
However, when you find out said person was in your first period class, you learn that school is simply a mindless torture device made by adults in an attempt to get back at you for blowing up their front lawns. Honestly, adults were so immature.
The teacher walked in. "Good morning, class. I'm your homeroom teacher. Name's Anko. Headache occurring. Drank too much last night. I'll be taking a nap. Don't talk."
Sasuke stared in disbelief. This person had a hangover on the first day back? A hangover? Even Kakashi knew enough not to get drunk the day before school.
"Psst, Sasuke!" Sakura was staring back at him. She'd passed her entrance exams, and was currently sitting right in between Sasuke and Hinata. Hinata was too busy fretting over her teacher's condition, mumbling something about tea, when she spoke to Sasuke.
"What, Sakura?" Sasuke asked.
"Sasuke, Hinata and I have lunch D period. Could we eat together?"
"Nope, I have lunch E class."
A groan was heard from the desk next to Sasuke.
"Do you have a hangover?" Sakura immediately jumped to conclusions. Of course Naruto didn't drink! Well… at least not before school started.
"No… Just lunch with the bastard." Naruto kindly nodded his head in the direction of Sakura. Sasuke seemed rather pleased. Then, a scooting of a chair was heard.
"Do not worry, Sakura! I will sit with you!" Sasuke immediately turned towards Naruto and started to ignore Lee. If I ignore it, it will go away… If I ignore it… it will go away.
"Lee, don't bother…" Sakura was obviously thrilled with the idea of sitting with the boy that had a crush on her.
"But, my dearest-!" Lee protested.
"Go away!"
With a sad look on his face, Lee scooted off into a setting sun. Why the sun was setting in the morning, no one knew. Then again, in a classroom where the teacher has a hangover, nearly anything is possible.
By the time everyone had finished talking, the bell rang.
"See you later, Sasuke!" Sakura waved at Sasuke.
Sasuke just tilted his head, as if to say "I heard you and I don't care."
Next Class
"Naruto… what are you wearing?" Sasuke was disturbed by Naruto's get-up. Some shades and some form of heavy coat. A spy would be a vision to appear in one's head, until one realized the sunglasses were orange and said jacket was red and really poof-y.
"Sasuke! Stop stalking me!" Naruto was evidently annoyed behind some shades. He didn't want people to know, but he was taking a home economy class. And here he thought the jacket and glasses were the perfect disguise!
"Idiot, I have this class too."
Naruto stared. He stared some more.
"Can't get enough of me?" Sasuke teased. After all, he was in a semi-good mood; after all, he was going to eat lunch with Naruto.
"No way! I'm in no way queer! Even if my dad is!" Naruto stuck his nose up in the air before walking into the classroom.
Remember, Sasuke, he doesn't mean it. He will fall for you… He will. Sasuke was attempting to convince himself that Naruto would fall in love with him and that he would not regret it. No more precious people were going to be ripped from his life. With that thought, Sasuke also walked into the classroom.
"Get at a desk, with another student. Come on, hurry up," the teacher said. He had scars all over his face, and evidently was pretty serious. Of course, the pink apron was a bit tacky against the rough skin and tough scars, but who was going to question the guy? He was over six feet tall, and evidently did not enjoy any bullshit in his class.
Naruto practically ran to the station at the back of the class. He would be damned if he was going to stand close to that apron! Everyone else hesitantly made their way to the seats, Sasuke deciding to sit next to Naruto.
"Ok, class. Whoever you sat with is now your partner," the teacher started. "I will be your teacher, Ibiki. Welcome to Home Economics. Here you will learn to confront terrors of life. For those who thought this would be an easy 'A', get out now."
Naruto groaned, practically sliding down in his seat. He was hoping for an easy class, but apparently that would be too easy. Of course Ibiki had to teach it.
Lunch-time with Sakura and Hinata
Sakura had already started to make friends with the other girls at the school, having known Ino. Just because she and Ino didn't get along didn't mean they weren't friends. They were best friends. And now that she was at a new school, Sakura decided to be like Ino. Of course, she knew how to make friends. But, Ino just happened to have that air about her.
Then again, it might have been the fact that she had saved the other girls from Lee's eyebrows. But, Sakura liked to think it was because of her charm.
"So… Sakura, why did you want to sit with us? And what's that red binder?" Temari asked. Temari was evidently the older sister of a guy with a crush on Lee. Sakura felt sort of sorry for Temari and her little brother.
"I wanted to ask you all for help on my mission!" Sakura beamed at them.
"Umm… Wh-what is the mission?" Hinata asked in a confused manner. Everyone else simply stared at Sakura.
"We need to get Sasuke and Naruto together!" Sakura grinned like the cat that swallowed the canary.
"And… how would you do that?" Temari was evidently thinking it over. Sounds interesting… And since Lee likes her, maybe she could help make my brother a little less psycho…Then Shikamaru and I can have some "quality" time…Still, I have no idea how she'll pull it off… Still a good after-school activity.
"Sakura, I have to agree with Temari… Naruto does not appear to like Sasuke much, let alone love him," Hinata spoke quietly and meaningfully.
"That, my friend is where this binder comes in!" Sakura stated, holding up her red binder, almost worshipping it. Everyone else stared at her.
"Um… Sakura, I don't think school supplies will help us here." Tenten decided to speak against the silence. People were starting to stare at the scene.
"No! It's what's in the binder!" Sakura exclaimed, slightly offended.
"So… What's in the binder?" Temari asked.
"Sasuke's inner-most thoughts!"
"…" Sakura was greeted with silence. After all, how would anyone know the guy's inner thoughts?
"What?"
"Sakura… How do you know these things?" Temari asked, starting to think Sakura was a bit of a crackpot, and might have no clue about what she was talking about.
"I read his journal, but don't tell him." The rest just stared at her, again. She read the sexy Sasuke's journal! And she was telling mere mortals like them? Was the girl insane? Or was she telling the truth?
"Sakura, there is no way you could have gotten your hands on Sasuke's journal! Just no way!" Temari was clearly surprised. The rest simply nodded enthusiastically in agreement.
"I'm serious!"
"Yeah… Right," Temari was losing interest, causing the other girls to lose interest.
"Look, I got it while helping him move into Naruto's house!"
"And you would have helped him move in because…" Tenten simply let the phrase sit there in mid-air, as if it was something totally insignificant.
"Sh-she's telling the truth!" Hinata stood up for Sakura. "Sh-she knew Sas-sasuke from his old home… Th-they were n-neighbors."
"Well, I guess that might make a little sense," Tenten stated, re-doing one of her buns as she said it. "Still, I find it hard to believe."
"It's the truth!"
"Of course it is, sweetie… Of course it is." Temari apparently sympathized with the poor girl.
"Well, if you aren't going to help me, I might as well do it by myself!"
"We never said we weren't going to help… We always could spare some time to this," Temari said, still a little interested. "But, only if you help me with something."
Of course, Sakura agreed. How little she knew this promise could affect her… And the rest of the story.
Lunch-time with Sasuke and Naruto
"Dog-face! Over here!" Naruto called out to Kiba. The fact he had first met Naruto while his dog was with him earned him the nick-name.
"Hey! Naruto! What's up?" Kiba looked up from his food, apparently interested in the fact that Naruto had someone with him. The fact that Kiba didn't know the kid made it even more interesting.
"Nothing much, you?" Naruto said, sitting down. Sasuke sat down next to him.
"Who are you?" Kiba asked.
"Sasuke," came the short reply. Sasuke was not in the mood to give long replies. He practically had to run to keep up with Naruto, and he would be damned if he were to lose sight of the blonde idiot.
"Ah… Naruto, who is he?" Kiba asked once more, hoping to get a more lengthy answer out of the blonde.
"My stalker. Feel free to kill him. In fact, please do kill him." Naruto also appeared to be worn from walking so quickly, in an attempt to get away from Sasuke.
"Of course…" Kiba said, slowly backing away.
With that, they continued to eat their lunch in an uncomfortable silence. When the bell rang to get back to class, they all silently thanked every deity known to man-kind.
With Kiba, while walking to his class
Kiba turned around, having felt his shirt being tugged on. He wasn't too surprised when he saw Hinata, but when he heard what she said… Well, shocked would be an understatement.
"Kiba… C-could you h-help Sa-sakura get Na-naruto-kun and Sa-sauke-san together… please?" Hinata was obviously being serious. It was very odd to hear his girlfriend speak in her family's main tongue, even if it was only suffixes on the names.
"Why?" Kiba asked, evidently worried about Hinata. She was very flustered and evidently was having a sweating problem.
"Um… Y-you do-don't h-have t-t-to… I-if you do-don't w-want…" Hinata said, about ready to cry.
"Hey, hey, I didn't say I wouldn't help!" Kiba always was a sucker for a girl in distress.
"R-really?"
"Really. I'll help. Just tell me what to do."
"G-get online t-tonight, p-please…" Hinata said, before walking away.
"What did I just get myself into?" Kiba wondered to himself, before walking towards his next class. Little did he know that he had just started a trek that may ultimately destroy his sanity… and perhaps involve a few costumes.
End Chapter
(cries) I am so sorry that it took me so long to come out with this chapter! My school work was piled up, and my teachers have been telling me my options next year, and some weren't very nice, so my dad was angry because of my econ grade, and… WAH! I was going insane! But, it's out now! And it's long(ish)! Now, to reply to all reviewers… And for those who have reviewed faithfully, feel free to request art. In fact, DEMAND that I draw! I'm currently attempting to do some new art… And tell me if I should start a doujin on this story! I need some work drawing romance, and I think this could help me with kissing and (sex) scenes. What do you think?
Iyfanatic: Well, where I live, it's nearly a sin to visit someone when they're moving in/ have new people moving in unless if you are really close. I mean like sister-ly or lover close! And it was set near the end of vacation, so school just started! Hope that cleared some things up for you…
FMA-lover16: He might find out… Or not… I'm so evil! D
Akabaka: Oh my Buddha! A worshipper! (throws candy) Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed it!
swtTom0-chan93: I know, I know… It's ok… It's ok… That's one of the reasons I didn't update, actually! I couldn't log in to write when I had time. XP So sorry for the long wait!
FXL: You went through all that… to review? (is touched) I loves you! (gives a whole batch of cookies)
iNUYASHAS-only-lover-KAGoME: Yay! I'm hilarious!
blue-genjustsu: Glad you like it!
Narutomania: He took part in the chat; he'll be there… Believe it (datte bayo)!
Kari no Tenshi: Of course it's funny… Salsa is salsa after all… (nods) As for the whole Sakura thing, I think it was because she realized that Naruto didn't feel that way about Sasuke, and she knew how Sasuke felt… Besides, she has followers now! And a new costume (should be revealed soon).
Ok, guys! My review hopes for this chapter is to get at least 100 reviews! If I can, I will write a crazy long chapter, and perhaps run around the school 5 times!
Needless to say, I want you guys to review! Come on, come on! I know you want to! XD
