The bell; and it was about time. That stupid bastard Neji.
Flashback:
"Class we have a new student in our class today. Sakura please stand up and say a few words."
Sakura frowned…so close SO close to not having to introduce herself. Tenten gave her an affectionate pat on the shoulder and a reassuring smile. Sakura was too nervous to smile back but she stood and gave a slight nod.
"O-omaesan my name is Haruno Sakura I-I hope we'll get along!"
She was given a few claps her face darkening at the attention; amid she heard a snort. Blinking she glanced over to see the one she now knew as Neji smirking at her.
'Well at least he can't do anything from over there.'
She sat down and Tenten squeezed her shoulder, whispering 'that was good.' Sakura smiled shyly; it was nice to have a friend…or was she going to fast? Maybe Tenten was just taking pity on the new girl, but no she couldn't think that. Something about the bun-girl made her seem trustworthy.
--
Notes on this and that began and she found herself giggling about what Tenten said about some of the pictures; she was becoming quite used to this seat and she'd actually begun to like her new school…well that was until 'she' came.
Now the girl herself wasn't the problem; oh no it's what happened because of the girl. The blonde girl frowned at her deeply and mumbled something to the teacher who seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Oh Miss Haruno I'm sorry; I forgot that was Ino's seat. You'll have to choose a different one."
'Eh! Eh?'
The hell...she was all comfy and now she had to move? She frowned glancing around to see if there even 'was' an empty chair and there was too just her luck; right beside him. Tenten noticed the terrified look on her friend's face and looked over to her other friend.
"Ino-chan, just this once? She's new you know…"
"I don't care if forehead is handy-cap! I am not sitting over 'there.'"
" Ino…"
"No."
Tenten looked back to Sakura who had this weird look of almost pain on her face and tried to give her best smile.
"Uh...it won't be THAT bad Sakura…just try to ignore him okay? Oh and be sure if he talks to you respect is the main thing!"
Sakura frowned glancing over to Neji just imagining the look she must be getting right now, but no he wasn't even giving her or anyone else in the class attention. He just gazed out the window. Sighing in a slight relief she picked up her things and started over to the empty desk, but not before turning a glare at Ino.
"Don't call me forehead Ino-pig."
The blond gasped at how she was spoken to and went to retort to the annoying little pink haired girl, but she was already at the desk unloading her things; Sakura could have sworn she heard Tenten giggle. Head down on her desk Sakura lazily paid attention to the notes her eyes trying to close on her; by now she'd stopped worrying about Neji…that is until she felt a tug on her short pink locks.
"Hey princess, pay attention."
Sakura winced forcing herself not to glare at him as she remembered what Tenten had said...respect.
"Gomen nasi, Neji-san."
Neji gave her a slightly curious look when she didn't fight like before a small smirk curling onto his lips.
"Neji-san is it? Hmm but you know if you're trying to please me, his mouth lowered to her ear in a dark whisper; I like Neji-sama much better."
"Ah…in your dreams, " she grumbled the last part.
"What was that princess?" he mocked with a frown; lifting her chin to look at him.
"Ah...I um.." gee couldn't anyone see what he was doing? Why wasn't anyone stopping him!
"Hmm my and I must have misjudged you; you were all talk before I guess. Here I thought you were a princess but now as see you as just another slave…" as he teased her cruelly he was bringing his hand back through her pink locks; his mouth still at her ear the hot air blowing on her neck giving her chills, but wait had he said 'slave'?
The hell did all these bastards treat the girls like this while they just let themselves be walked over to keep them happy? WELL not her! Sakura moved her face away with a jolt glaring at him as she hissed in a low whisper.
"I will never be your slave you pompous bastard so don't go getting any idea you can just toy with me like you to with those girls that swoon at your feet!"
'Interesting,' Neji thought raising a brow a small laugh escaping.
"Dear Sakura I'll knock you down so hard off your pedestal you'll be begging to be my slave," he purred eyeing her with the same dark look he'd held in his tone moments before.
"Tch I don't want anything to do with you Neji-teme!"
"You don't have a choice Sakura-dorei," his purr was a growl and the narrowed look of those pearl eyes made her freeze in the realization that he 'could' and 'probably would' easily be able to force her against the wall and have his way with her without getting in trouble.
He smirked at her sudden look of fear but didn't comment because soon she had that determined frown in place.
'Itachi and the other will enjoy this one.'
Sakura looked away staring at the clock…at least it was time to go soon…thirty five…twenty…ten...three…Ding! Ah there it was!
End Flashback.
Sakura packed up waving to Tenten who mouthed 'sit with us at lunch and tell us all about it!' glad Neji had been the first to leave; it was actually amazing how well he could clean himself up like he hadn't done anything to her at all. Maybe there was one good quality somewhere in that pompous jerk; really the nerve calling her a slave and teasing her like that!
'I really don't want to meet any of these other 'coolest and cruelest' guys.'
Sighing she gave an "Adiosu!" to her teacher and headed to art. Going along the halls in a blur as she stared at her number card the pink haired girl desperately wanted to stick her hands in her pockets…to bad school skirts didn't have pockets.
'Nee those boys uniforms looked so comfy…sigh'
"Kawaii!"
Sakura squeaked as two strong arms wrapped around her and lifted her into the air.
"Hey! Put me down!" Sakura was terrified of heights; and who was this guy anyway?
"So cute so cute!"
"P-please…put me down on the ground…um?"
"I'm Naruto Kyuubi but you call me Naru-kun!"
"Oh…I-I'm Haruno Sakura…please put me down I've got to get to class and you're making me dizzy…"
She clung onto his arm his arm so she wouldn't feel the NOTHING beneath her feet.
"Oi hai"
He set her down still hugging her.
"So cute Cherry-Chan! Just like you."
He nuzzled his cheek against hers; suddenly gripping her chin his free arm moving to grip her waist and pull her close as his blue eyes narrowed.
"And not bad…you've got some great curves cherry…"
Sakura blushed shaking her head and bringing forth her hand to slap his cheek.
"Stop! Don't call me that and would you stop touching me!"
'I've already had enough of that in my last…oh no I'll be late!'
Naruto gave her a confused look of deep thought before wrapping his arm around her shoulders and laughing.
"Yeah you're okay Cherry-Chan ha ha!"
"Nee I said stop calling me that!"
That made him laugh harder and he took her arm almost gently tugging her along the hallways
"Where is it you have to go?"
She blinked her struggles ceasing as she tilted her head a bit at the strange guy…did this guy have two personalities or what? Sighing she followed in step beside him not wanting to be dragged.
"Art…"
"Oh I know where that is!" he smiled picking her up bride style and started running the halls clearing people out of his way.
"PUT ME DOWN Naruto!"
He smirked at her slowing his pace a bit and grinned.
"Don't want to make it in time?"
"Ah, no"
She felt her face darken when she realized he was right, but could it really be that far? She pouted slightly; "Nee I can walk you know…and everybody's staring…"
Sakura could almost scream out her frustration; her head dizzy from being toyed with so much today…and the Naruto guy wasn't so bad but he kept picking her up and touching her! New students couldn't 'always' be treated like this!
She waited for his reply but it never came; he looked slightly amused by her pout but didn't put her down…well at least he wasn't running anymore. After another minute they arrived at her art class and Naruto set her down outside silently walking away.
"Ah Naruto?"
She gave an inward sigh; why was she feeling guilty?
Naruto kept walking away.
"Naru-kun!" Sakura whined huffing slightly.
He stopped and glanced over his shoulder.
"Eh cherry?"
A red tint returned to her face at the nickname and she forced a smile on her face wondering if she'd gone crazy.
"Um…kajitsu?" Sakura murmured.
Naruto stared at her a moment then tucked his hands into his pocket and gave a slight nod.
"Arigato little cherry, imanimo nee?"
"Hai Naruto-nii-san!"
Sakura waved with a small grin her stomach doing little flops…she'd never been so bold as to call anyone older brother before; would he get mad?
He raised a brow at her and smiled ever so slightly; about time he met a non-fan girl or someone who didn't hate him…well if he was her older brother than he'd to well to take care of his little sister!
"Oi, you brat get in class!" he crossed his arms with a scolding look and she squeaked in response filling a bit fluffy with happiness.
Now, there was Tenten-chan and her new Nii-san…
'Oi but Nii-san does have a dark side…hmm this place really is so weird'
---
Time passed quickly; she was introduced again, some claps… a few questions and then they were painting. Sakura tilted her head at the red flower before sticking her tongue out a bit in deep thought as she tried to capture the beauty of the rose; a brush here and there.
"A-ah t-that's p-pretty good…S-Sakura-san."
Sakura blinked and glanced beside her to Hinata; the shy girl who'd paid her nothing but compliments when she started painting.
"A-ah…nee that's sweet Hinata-chan…thank you but I'm not really that---"
Drip.
Sakura turned back to her picture of the unfinished rose; little dots of black sprinkling the innocent painted petals.
"Nani?"
"Typical female."
"What's that supposed to mean! Why are you ruining my picture?"
Sakura's jade eyes widened as she stared up at the red haired boy; pale almost white skin and dark circles under green eyes; his mouth twisted in a small grin. The grin spread when he saw her eyes widen…again 'typical female' scared as a bunny when enclosed by a cat.
"It was ruined to begin with."
Roses, love, mushy hugs…it 'all' sickened Gaara.
"Do you want something?" she rolled her eyes at him giving an inward shrug of her shoulder; it was just a picture after all.
That wasn't the reaction he'd been looking for.
He lowered his hand to the still wet paint; dipping one of his fingers in the red of one of the painted petals.
"Eh?" she blinked a bit confused, suddenly feeling a cool liquid running down her cheek; Gaara's lips were twisted up in a smirk as he painted the red down her cheek with his finger; cruelty in his actions.
"Why are you painting my face teme?" she asked with an innocent expression red dripping onto the table.
He stopped his action a look of pure anger as he pulled his hand away.
"Don't you know how to cry or yell or anything…I'm being mean to you idiot!"
Gaara held his forehead with his dry hand; giving a pained expression…why wasn't the pink haired girl doing anything? It didn't make sense!
'Because I promised myself I wouldn't cry; not again. That a girl! Ah! You again, why are you in my head? Because I'm the kick-ass part of you! The what? Ugh never mind just say something!'
"It's just paint I can wash it off…"
Gaara dropped his hand from his head and gave her a cold look; hate. He hated the pink haired girl who wouldn't cry. Why wouldn't she cry? Did she not know how; was that it…well then he'd do something about that!
"I'd throw that away unless you want an accident to happen, girl."
She sighed; what had she done to get so many people to bother her?
"My name is 'SA-KU-RA' not girl."
He growled and brought his hand forth like he was going to smack her, but instead hit the paints sending the reds and greens splashing in her direction. Sakura stood frozen for a moment a flashback of the cruel words and paint that had covered her desk; she closed her eyes to the oncoming paint awaiting the painful reminder.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
'Eh...I don't feel wet?'
She blinked in confusion to see she was no longer in her seat but behind Hinata's; the said girl's school uniform dripping in red and green.
"H-Hinata-chan…"
---
"So that's her; the pink haired girl?"
"She looks a bit dumb…"
"No that little brat has quite the mouth."
"Ah I remember her…"
"You've seen her before Sasuke?"
"The little peasant still owes me a good apology…though she is different from the other girls"
"Yes; she'll be trickier to bend under our will…willingly of course."
"Well then it looks like the hard way."
"I've got the perfect plan…"
