"I can't stand it! NOOOOOOOOOO-" But Naruto's yelling was cut off when Neji gave him a whack with the back of his hand to Naruto head.
"Hey!"
"Naruto?!? What are you complaining about?!?!" Sakura asked, giving up any chance of reading, and putting her book away. They were out side the school building at the grass area that had bike racks. Sakura leaned against one and crossed her arms giving Naruto 'the look'. But she winched when her lower back had touch the rail, poking to bruised area that hurt like HELL! ut back to glaring at Naruto...
"It's not my fault!!! There's no one to call teme, then no one who will call me dobe right back!!! Or anyone to try to put a wad of bubble gum into an odd navy blue chicken-ass hair!!!! ITS NO FAIR!!!!" Naruto yelled dramatically falling to his knees. Hinata looked surprised as she made the mistake of also getting down on her knees to comfort the blonde, and he shook her shoulders.
"NO FAIR I TELL THOU, NO FAIRITH! I'M NOT SUPPSOED TO BE BORED TO MY DAY OF DEATH!!!!"
"Hinata?!?!?!? NOO!!! HINATA, SHE DIED!!!!" Once again, Neji whacked Naruto on the back of the head.
"She fainted, she didn't die fool." Neji told him with a very noticeable sweat drop.
"You made her faint."
"NOOOOOO! I'M SO SORRY HINATA! I HOPE YOU CAN SOMEHOW HEAR THIS AND FORGIVE ME!!!!"
"Naruto!!!!! Just shut up, and help me get her to the nurses' office!"
"OK!" Naruto jumped up and smiled like he hadn't been yelling in Shakespeare not to long ago… This time, everyone joined 'The Sweat Drop Club of Naruto's Actions.' (Paperwork to join this club will be soon at local stores near you! Free doughnuts if you do join!!! XP)
They went to the nurses' office to see a worried (as always) Shizune. She had told Naruto to go on while she checked up on Sakura's back and cheek.
"You poor girl…the bruise on your back looks just so bad…are you absolutely sure you're ok?"
"Yeah Shizune, I'm going to live. Maybe just give a me a pass for P.E. to spend it in the library?" Sakura looked like if Shizune said no, she'd beg til' she got a 'yes' out of the woman. Shizune looked at her oddly wondering why she was like that, and then gasped and a hand flew to her own cheek.
"Oh good heavens, you have Gai-san right?! With the way he works you children, a pass surely will be written!" She quickly turned around after seeing Sakura nod, and went to desk and fumbled around with some things. Giving out an, 'Ahh! Here it is!' she signed it and handed it to Sakura.
"What about Hinata, the normal?"
"Oh, yes, the normal I guess will have to do." (Hinata had fainted so many times before, they had a plan; leave her in the nurses' office, when she wakes up, they just call up Sakura, ((Cuz' Sakura has pretty much every class with her.)) and Sakura takes her to the class they are currently in.)
"Ok!" Sakura said as she walked out of the nurses' office and walked to her first class of the day-probably the most oddest and strangest ANYONE can go to- dan dunn DUN! Science with Jiraiya-sama!!!!
OoOoOoOoOoO In a later period in Jiraiya-per...err, I mean jiraiya-sama! OoOoOoOoOoO
"So class, remember; if the hunky guy has two brown haired traits, and the sexy momma has also two brained haired traits; it's obvious that the kid has two awe-some parents and brown hair!" He said smirking at the evil perverted thoughts now running through his head how the kid came along.
A cough silenced through the air, and Jiraiya blinked, and could have sworn that tumble weed flew down the main middle aisle and vanished...
"Umm…anyways! Just remember to do pages 156-166 in your text books!" He said then going back to his 'good, happy teacher kind of' thoughts about the day's lesson.
"Pervert." Ten Ten mumbled under her breath as she slid the class room's science book into the desk's slot.
"I will not question that statement at all." Neji had a degusted look on his face. Ten Ten scoffed and closed her school planner after writing down the assignment.
"I just want to get through this year; only two more til' we're outta here, and at or looking for collage."
"Thank god, I still remember the old days being a 6th grader. Damn, I hated those days…so many grades to go. Now so little." Ten Ten nodded, and then broke into a smile.
"OMG! Remember that one sub that we had in 7th grade?!?! Usagi-san?!?! She was SO weird…even weirder than Jiraiya-sensei!" Neji's lips smirked remembering Ten Ten and him throwing small pieces of broken up pencils at the sub's back. (With perfect aim of course) As Ten Ten rambled on about the old school day the two had together, Neji couldn't help but think…about her. Dang, he had never noticed it before-And how come he hadn't?-they had every class together, and always have. (Even all the way back to pre-school did they!) They knew everything about each other, and were close net friends. But Neji had never noticed her. What did she wear yesterday? He didn't know, but he bet that she knew what he wore yesterday. Hmm…
"Ten Ten? What did I wear yesterday?" She stopped laughing from the previous comment that she made, and stared at him.
"A gray and blue sweater, gray pants, and your normal brown shoes. Why? I mean…that is a really odd question…" She came over and put a hand to his fore-head.
"Last time you asked odd questions, you were not thinking straight and had a high temperature..." She even remembered that. She remembered more things about him than he did about her. Maybe that's why he was so shocked to hear that she liked someone else…he didn't know what she felt, or did he ever really notice her before.
"Nah, I'm fine." He said moving his head from her outstretched hand. She shrugged and turned her back to gather her notebooks; there were 3 minutes left of class.
"Ten Ten…" She looked up. Neji tried to say what he wanted to say, but his mouth wouldn't move. Odd…did she always…did her face always look like that? So…dare he say….cute? NO! BAD THOUGHTS! Well, not 'bad'…just odd, non-Neji like, and SO not for an anti-social person.
"Yeah…Neji??"
RIIIIINNNNNGGG! She looked un-paitent. She needed to go to the girl's locker room for gym, and he needed to go to the boys; two different ways. She took small steps backwards looking at him waiting for him to speak.
"Neji…I really need to go…I hate being late to class..."
"What ever guy you like; go for him." He blurted out as she finally gave up and turned around to walk away. But when she heard his statement, she turned around with a shocked face. A lot of voices were in the hallways, and people as the same amount. So before Ten Ten could say a thing back to Neji, she was swept away by people hurrying to their next classes. Neji had his stuff up by the time, and stood there with people going by him, bumping their shoulders with his as he watched her scurry off with the crowd.
RIIIIINNNNNGGG!
"Damn! That was the tardy bell!" Neji too, ran off to the P.E. locker rooms with the brown-haried girl on his mind.
OoOoOoOoOoO
"Hello Miss Sakura! How do you do today?" The librarian asked looking up from her computer.
"I'm good Inuzka-san! I'm just here with a pass to skip P.E. today. With a pass of course." Tsume Inuzka looked at Sakura oddly.
"Why do you need a pass Sakura?!" Sakura laughed a little.
"Don't worry Inuzka-san, it's not that big."
"But big enough to get you to skip P.E.?"
"Well…"
"Sakura, tell me."
"Do you remember Sasuke?" Tsume looked confused at Sakura, til' she remembered hearing the boy's name from before.
"Yes, I do remember Kiba talking about him before." (AN: BTW….Tsume Inuzka is Kiba's mom. Yeah.)
"Well…let's just say that he got in a fight with some other boy I know, and I literally got in the fight to break them up."
"Oh…" Tsume reached out her hand for the pass. After Sakura handed it to her, she scanned it and put it down next to the file of papers that were next to the computer.
"Well, I guess you know the rules, and I know you, you will follow them. So go enjoy the wonders of reading!" Sakura smiled; Kiba's mom was still as nice from she last talked. And I mean, talked. Not as in, 'Can I check this book out?' Yeah, Sakura had a small thing with Kiba, but they noticed that they weren't going any farther than 'just friends that went out on dates', so they dropped it and stayed tight. But that was impossible this year with them having no classes together. Besides music, but Sakura was a singer and Kiba played to drums. No connection.
In fact, talking about Kiba, that relates to dogs. Which relates to the book that just caught Sakura's eye. It was about dogs, and was on top of the book case so people could see it better. The Inuzkas were a dog family; they bred them that is. But this book had a picture of a dog that Sakura always was fond of; Dalmatians. Really, who doesn't love a dog with spots?!?! Sakura reached out and plucked the book off the top of the shelf. Skimming the pages to see if it was worth looking at, and indeed it was; more words than pictures. Sakura took the book and went to the 'cozy' area. It had beanbags, (You break, you pay.) and rugs. She plopped herself in a orange bean bag.
"Hmm…" Sakura hummed as she opened the book.
'Body: This popular breed of dog is a well-muscled, mid-sized dog with superior endurance. Know for its elegance, the Dalmatian has a body type similar to the Pointer, to which it may be related. The feet are round and compact with well-arched toes. The nails are either white and/or the same color as the spots. The ears are thin, tapering toward the tip, set fairly high and carried close to the head.
Size: The ideal Dalmatian should stand between 19 and 24 inches at the withers and weight from 45 to 70 pounds fully grown. Breed standers for showing for more specific sizes; the UK standard for instance, calls for a height between 22 and 24 inches. Males are generally slightly larger than females.'
"Whew…two paragraphs and so much info…my head kinda hurts…" Sakura held her head setting the book down for a while. She looked around. Really, how could some people just not get reading?! It was marvelous! Even some non-fiction were captivating.
Sakura picked up the book and kept reading. In the end, she decided a liver spotted Dalmatian would be cute. With amber eyes.
"Just too bad that they shed sooooo much, and hate being alone. Hey…is it me, or that the same as Naruto?!?!"
"Sakura?!" The said looked up and saw Tsume not too far behind her.
"Time's up; want to check out any books before you leave?" Sakura nodded her head, followed Tsume to the check out/in desk. Tsume's face lit up when seeing the book.
"Sakura, nice choice. I can see you owning a Dalmatian." Sakura smiled and nodded.
"Let's see…Sakura Haruno…no books due…" Tsume mumbled to herself as she checked out the book from the computer program.
"Here you go! And if you see Naruto…tell him that the 'The Making of Ramen' is due from last week. And no, he can't buy the book, not like the other 5 books he 'lost and paid for'." Sakura giggled, Naruto had done that with 5 other books, 'Ramen and Chopsticks; The Best Places to Get Your Ramen!' was his favorite. He vowed that one day he'd visit all places in the book. What dobe...
"Ok! I will. See ya Inuzka-san."
"Bye Sakura! Nice seeing you again! See you tomorrow!" She waved as Sakura walked away to her locker to get her books for her next class; Anko teaching World Cultures.
OoOoOoOoOoO
"Damn it…" Sasuke said as he drove his car to school. The parking lot was almost completely empty, but about 4-5 cars were still there. Sasuke pulled the car in a spot, and got out of the convertible dark blue mustang. He scowled as he saw Niwa get out of his car a few spots over. And Sasuke didn't like Niwa's car either. It was a red jeep. The same car Sakura said that she wanted to drive when she grew older. And this guy drove one? Didn't help a thing. Sasuke wondered if she knew that he drove one…
"Let's just get this over with." Niwa said as they both walked to the school's front doors. Sasuke grunted and nodded. Sasuke would not forget Sakura's face as she cried, clinging to his shirt, about Niwa and the messed up date. And it popped up every time he looked at the Niwa's face.
They entered the school and walked to the principle's office. Sasuke knocked on the door once roughly and both heard a 'Come on in.' from the woman that had sentenced them to come to the school after schooling hours.
Sasuke also opened the door and they walked in to see a tired looking Tsunade, but also determined.
"Some kid accidentally spilled his plate of food in the cafeteria. That job requires scrubbing, and then cleaning some plates. Then another job is to clean the teachers lounge from the small party held for a teacher's pregnancy. That means also cleaning the iced tea container. One of you takes a job, and the other goes to the other boy, that's the deal." Sasuke didn't look at Niwa, but could tell that Niwa was looking at him to see if Sasuke wanted to request a job.
"I'll take the cafeteria." Tsunade nodded and looked at Niwa seeing if thee was any problem.
"Then the teacher's lounge for me."
"You know where both are, no? So go; hop to it!" Tsunade waved her hand to show them that it was time for them to leave. As Niwa walked out the door, Sasuke closed it behind him and turned to Tsunade. She looked at him oddly; she had just told to go, right? So what's the problem?
"Was there any reports of Sakura being at the nurses' office today?" Tsunade was surprised; he sounded…guilty. Tsunade wondered...nah, Sasuke couldn't, nor wouldn't...
"Yes, Naruto and Sakura were reporting Hinata to the nurses' office because of her fainting again. She was given a pass to go to the library instead of going to P.E." She couldn't tell what Sasuke thinking, but she was very sure that it had to do with Niwa. She knew that she'd just have to keep a keen eye on those two, and a side one on what's going on with Sasuke and Sakura, if he even let anything show or happen.
"Hn." Sasuke turned around and left the room. Tsunade stared at the door that he raven-haired boy had just gone through. She finally shook her head, reached into her small cooler, and got an extreme energy drink since she herself, had banned alcohol from the school. She couldn't drink her beloved sake, so energy drinks just had to do. After taking a gulp of it, she leaned back and rubbed her temples.
"Jezz, teenagers these days, just making life more and more dramatic. And stressing." With that statement, she took two more gulps of the energy drink and looked out her offic window.
OoOoOoOoOoO
"Thank gawd!" Sasuke said as he finally finished his task. He leaned against the sink and closed his eyes. Not many boys his age would enjoy getting on their knees cleaning the cafeteria floor, washing dishes, and Sasuke was NOT excluded from them. He had maids. He quickly opened his eyes after hearing a male voice yell, 'Dang it, what number was her locker again?!' The male voice...Niwa. Sasuke clenched his teeth, what was he up to now?!
Throwing the rag that he was using to wipe the dishes aside, he started to walk towards the earlier voice while undoing his apron. His boots that he wore that day clomped on the floor as he quickly walked down the hall. Reaching the end of the hallway, he turned left to go to the 10th grader's locker hallway, and saw Niwa scanning the lockers with a tired, but determined look on his face.
"So you finished your task I guess?" Sasuke called out. Niwa froze at the sound of his voice. He slowly turned his head to look at Sasuke's pissed face.
"Uhh…yeah, sure!" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Sure? That means you're not, right?"
"I mean, yes I am!"
"And may I know what girl's locker your looking for? I mean, you wouldn't even TRY putting something in Sakura's, right?" Niwa gulped; this didn't seem to be turning out good…
"Maybe?" He weakly smiled and shrugged. Sasuke dropped any emotion on his face and walk forward to Niwa with a scowl.
"You will leave her alone, got it?" At this point, Niwa's shirt was balled up in Sasuke's fist being raised up in the air and being pushed against the lockers, "If I see her running up to me again crying cuz' you did something, I swear I'm make you cry out for you mommy to save you. Got it?!" Sasuke said through clenched teeth pushing Niwa even further into the lockers. Niwa winched as the locker's number spinners poked into this spine.
"Dang it, if you care so much, then just ask her out or something!" Niwa yelled. Sasuke's face dropped, and looked blunt. But after getting what Niwa had said fully, he got even madder
"What I do in that area is NONE of your businesses, got it?!"
"Then stay outta mine!"
"Never!"
"Then same to you!"
"You little ass!"
"Emo Prince!"
"Cheater!" Niwa got as mad as Sasuke at this statement. He glared his hardest at him.
"I-did-not-cheat-on-Sakura!" Sasuke snorted at that.
"Then who was the girl that Sakura told me about?! The one that claimed to be 'your girlfriend'!?!?!" Niwa looked down, angrily, but what seemed like not at Sasuke.
"She's not my girlfriend."
