Sakura Seasons
Disclaimer: You should know already. I've told you many times before.
A/N: I thought it was a long wait but it wasn't... weird how my sister let me go on the computer...
Chapter 18
New Transfer Student
Sakura dashed out of her house. She was forced into a sudden halt since she saw Sasuke waiting for her at the gate.
"Sorry." Sakura apologized as she walked up to him.
"Well we have to hurry up or the dobe will be noisier than usual." Sasuke said, walking out.
It was the first day back from school and they were now juniors. Sakura and Sasuke made another agreement that they would walk to school together and back. They soon met up the rest of the gang at the school gates.
"Sakura-chan, ohayo!" Naruto greeted as the couple walked up to them.
"Don't worry; we came in early to get everyone's schedule. Looks like we're a bit separated except for P.E and drama." Ino chirped before they could talk about it as she handed them their schedule.
"What's really bizarre that our couples are in the same classes!" Ino screamed with joy.
"Plus we heard that there's a new transfer student coming today. He's in some of our classes too." Hinata added without stuttering since she changed a bit.
"He?" Sakura asked.
"What was his name again?" Hinata recalled her memories.
"I think it was Fujiwara-san…" Hinata said.
"But I think his first name was Makoto? No. Minoru?" Naruto searched in his brain.
"Fujiwara Minori." Neji recalled.
"Oh yeah, that was it!" Naruto yelled.
As soon as they finished the bell alarmed the students to get to their classes. The gang departed as they said goodbye and dispersed. Sakura and Sasuke had class together with Naruto and Hinata. They walked into class and found the names again. They searched for their names on the desks. While looking for her seat she found the new students name.
'He has the same class as us eh?' Sakura thought.
"Sakura, come over here, we're sitting together again." Sasuke called out from the back of the class. Naruto and Hinata's seat was in front of them.
"We're back here again?" Sakura said as she sat down beside Sasuke.
"Hn." Sasuke replied.
"I found Fujiwara's seat somewhere in the classroom." Sakura said.
"Hn?"
"Over there." Sakura pointed to the third row.
And it just so happened that the teacher walked in. They had English first and it just so happened to be Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei again this year!" Naruto yelled from the back.
"Seems so." Kakashi said, rubbing the back of his head.
"It's good to see all of your faces again but we have a new transfer student this year." Kakashi announced hen everyone got to their seats.
As if on cue Minori stepped into the classroom. Kakashi wrote his name on the chalk board before speaking again.
"This is Fujiwara Minori. Treat him respectfully throughout your high school years." Kakashi announced again.
Some of the girls fawned over him since he was quite handsome.
"Nice to meet you." The whole class chorused.
"Nice to meet you all." Minori introduced walking to his desk.
Minori caught sight of Sakura as she opened her English textbook. He smirked as he sat down. Sasuke glared at him with the get-lost-glare.
Naruto spun around secretly when Kakashi wasn't looking.
"Hey teme, looks like you got a rival." Naruto whispered.
"But me and Sakura are already together." Sasuke reminded.
Naruto shrugged and turned around again.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The end of first period came and they marched outside for P.E. Naruto bragged about Minori and Ino marched off to Sasuke the duck haired bastard with a glare. Sakura wasn't around that area so it was perfect for threatening him.
"You better get ready for your rival." Ino smirked at the Uchiha.
"But Sakura and-" Sasuke began.
"Yeah I know but what if she changes her mind?" Ino asked seductively giving Sasuke an encouragement.
He looked blank for a while. He seriously did not want to lose Sakura. He tried his best to protect her.
Lunch finally came and Sasuke came with Sakura to the dojo since he didn't have any practice. He sat on the bench and watched her spar with someone. Sai sat beside him, taking off his head gear.
"I heard Naruto talk about Minori trying to hit on Sakura earlier today." Sai started.
"The dobe said that? Damn that loudmouth…" Sasuke cursed.
"Hey, at least you can't see him after school when you're working."
Sasuke paused for a moment. He was right. Sai was in his class a lot so probably he could talk about his problems.
"Sure I can talk to you next period in class." Sai accepted as if he knew what Sasuke was thinking.
"Hn." Sasuke replied.
It was soon the next period and the next class they had was cooking. They sat into their seats. Sakura and Sasuke were sitting with Sai and Sayaka since the tables had four seats. Minori was also in that class and he sat in a table next to them. Ayame then came in the class. Sakura and Sayaka had bright smiles on their faces which meant good luck. Ayame was the new teacher and she just started. She stupidly got in front of the class and announced.
(I don't know what she would be saying so I'm skipping the introduction part.)
"Alright class, tomorrow we're cooking apple pie so bring the ingredients from your books uglify tomorrow." Ayame reminded as the period was over.
Sasuke kept a careful eye on Minori. He didn't go near Sakura at all but he did keep on staring at her in some of the classes.
The end of the day came and the gang went to the bakery. They got to work as the time passed by. Sakura was safe from talking or meeting anyone since her job was in the kitchen now. All she had to do was help wash the dishes, clean up, help to bake (mostly) and to keep the place in order since Naruto started to work.
The shop door opened and Sasuke widened his eyes. It was Minori. Neji noticed this and joined Sasuke. Sai also came into the kitchen and joined them.
"I bet he's gonna ask for a job here to get closer to Sakura." Neji and Sai whispered together.
They were right. He came up to the side of the counter where Sayaka, Tenten and Ino were.
"Can I have a job here?" Minori asked forwardly.
The girls looked at each other.
"Sorry, we don't have any spots available since we already have a lot of staff." Sayaka spoke. She knew what was going on between him so she tried to keep him away.
Minori excused himself and walked out of the store. Sayaka heard him mumbling curses under his breath.
"Got that taken care of!" Sayaka declared as she brushed her hands past each other.
"Hey wait a minute. I've seen him before in a kendo tournament! He was that guy taking the picture!" Emi yelled beside Sayaka.
"And?" Sayaka extended.
"He was Miyako's cousin!" Emi pointed her finger out randomly.
"No wonder." Tenten concluded.
"I wonder what their parents are like…" Ino added.
"Well Miyako's aunt married Minori's uncle." Emi explained more.
"So they are twisted!" Ino yelled.
"Who's the loudmouth now?" Naruto called out from the kitchen.
"Come on, pay up. You owe me 100 yen." Then Naruto came out of the kitchen and held his hand out in front of Ino.
"Damn you…" Ino muttered as she rummaged through her pocket.
"What did you guys do?" Tenten asked.
"Whenever Ino starts yelling and it's not necessarily appropriate, she gives me 100 yen so she's the loudmouth." Naruto explained like a brainy person. (Now I know why he got into the academy.)
"But what does Ino get?"
"If she doesn't do that for a day, she gets 100 yen." Naruto explained simply, grinning.
"And so far I'm winning!"
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The next day came. Students came filling into their classroom. Sakura and Sasuke sat down as Naruto and Hinata were whispering in front of them.
"Hey guys, we're having a class trip with the geography class and Ero-sennin." Naruto spoke cheerfully.
"Why is that old pervert coming?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know but we're visiting a country with a tourist attraction and there's this art museum and- oh my fucking God!" Naruto yelled the last part.
And it just oh-so happened that Kakashi came in.
"Alright everyone! We are having a class trip in the country of Tea with the geography class. You need to ask your parent and that stuff and you know the rest of the crap." Kakashi announced lazily. (lol, I know! I wouldn't even be caught hearing him say that!)
He handed them the sheets of paper and the students passed their comments to each other.
'Dude, this is your chance! The seating in the coach is in pairs and eight people in a room!'
'So all we have to do is keep Sakura away from that creepy asshole.'
'Yep.'
They continued with their studies and first period ended. They marched off into the changing lockers and Naruto was bragging again.
"For everyone's fucking sake Naruto, stop opening that big pie hole of yours or I will make you shut up!" Ino yelled irritated.
Naruto immediately shut up.
"Man I just wish I was going to the trip. The hot springs there are awesome." Tenten moaned, changing the subject.
"You are going… with me." Neji reminded.
"Us too." Sai added.
"Get your facts right." Hinata said.
Gai then strolled into the area. The green tight green spandex that he always wore made everyone feel sick and cover their eyes.
"Alright my youthful students! Time to run 100 laps!" The lunatic teacher, Gai yelled out with his trademark pose.
"Yes Gai-sensei! I will do 200 laps!" Lee, the look-alike shouted.
"You're not getting the point Lee… You have to do… 300 laps!"
"40- -insert Ino punching Lee three feet underground-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU'RE ALREADY GIVING ME A MIGRAINE!" Ino screamed at the top of her lungs.
Everyone just stood there, shocked.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE ALL OF YOU STANDING LIKE THAT?! RUN FOR YOUR FUCKING LIVES ALREADY! GET THIS DONE AND OVER WITH!!!!" Ino screeched once more.
And with that everyone scrambled to the track, even Gai.
"Looks like Ino's gonna be the coach now…" Sayaka whispered to the group.
"RUN FASTER!!!" Ino screamed.
"Oh my fucking God! I remember that this was the mad woman Uzumaki was talking about!" Somebody said.
"HOLY SHIT!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!" Naruto screamed, misunderstanding again.
Everyone then screamed like little girls and ran to random places.
"So… whose fault is this?" Tenten asked with the group who were standing next to each other looking annoyed.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
A/N: Hmmm... I think my sister read this (not aiisha101) and typed other words when I was probably getting something to eat... Her friend did tell me that she typed something up when I was downstairs (Yeah, a friend was visiting our house). Reviews are much appreciated!
P.S. In a couple of chapters on, I'm gonna give you some hints of the sequel!! (I'm not giving you extracts but I'm telling you facts.)

Sakura Seasons – To the Country of Tea!
"She's becoming a bit like Ino isn't she?" Hinata asked.
Everyone agreed.
"H-hey! I'm nothing like Ino!" Tenten protested.
"You're right…" Sakura said.
"But only in tomboy version!" Sayaka added.
Everyone agreed again.
"But she does act like her a bit…" Hinata said.
Everyone agreed again.
"But only a bit right?" Sayaka added.
Everyone agreed again.
"Good 'cause I don't want to be like Ino." Tenten sighed.
"Well, nobody does!" Naruto grinned.
(That was a bit of the nearly middle part. I think that made sense…)
