Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I wish I did. So then I can say the Sasuke is dead! Muhahahahahaha!!! I just hate him that much.

A/N: I'm skipping the fanfic to autumn now. Sorry if it's going too fast but I have to finish this up 'cause then I can get on with the sequel which is sooo much better!!!! Plus, probably this chapter and the next chapter might be crappy because I got a new haircut and it's bothering me like hell!

Chapter 24

Guess Who's Back?

Leaves began appearing on the paths at early autumn. The sound of students chatting in the hallway never seemed to end as rumours went round and round the entire student body. One of them was about the return of the beat up guy who had to stay at the hospital longer than he thought but now is back in the academy. Another tiny rumour going on is about a mysterious new student moving in next year.

Sakura sat in her seat childishly as she almost began to get hyper from last night.

"Ohayo Sakura-chan!" Hinata greeted as she got to her seat.

"Ohayo Hinata-chan!" Sakura greeted back.

"Where's Naruto-kun and Sasuke?"

"Oh yeah, Sasuke-kun said that he was going into class later with Naruto 'cause the boys were doing something."

"Like what?"

"Dunno. Ever since the gang started to call each other with suffixes in the end, they started to talk secretly with each other…"

A set of girls squealed as loud as they can as someone was coming into the classroom.

"Nice to see you back into school Fujiwara-kun!" A girl screamed.

"Can I sit next to you in lunch Minori-kun?" Another fangirl asked.

"Shit! Quick Hinata, hide me! Sasuke-kun isn't here!" Sakura whispered.

"J-just get down under your desk!" Hinata whispered back.

Sakura ducked nervously and scooted further under the desk. She heard footsteps coming her way getting louder and louder. She squinted her eyes, hoping not to get caught.

"Hyuuga-san, have you seen Sakura-san?" A certain voice asked, not that far away.

"Ummm, no. Not this morning. You know Sakura-chan isn't comfortable with people who say her first name without getting to know that person a lot." Hinata said in a desperate voice.

"Okay then. Hmm? Why is there something pink under her desk?"

'Holy shit! Get away from me! Sasuke-kun hurry up!!!!'

Minori was about to bend down to see until two boys appeared in the scene.

"What are you doing?" A certain Uchiha demanded with furious eyes.

"Just saw something under the desk. Just curious." Minori excused, cursing in his mind.

"Well get away, you don't see me looking under your desk do I?"

Minori instantly walked away. Sasuke made his way to his seat but bent down to see Sakura.

"Thank god! I thought he'd never leave!" Sakura gasped, getting up.

"What were you doing anyway?" Hinata asked Naruto who was just staring into space.

"Huh? Oh yeah we were having a meeting about that-" Naruto began but was punched by Sasuke.

"Dobe did you forget the rule?"

"Oh yeah, almost forgot."

"They never tell us things anymore." Sakura stated with a frown.

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-x-x-x-x-x-x

"What were you doing?" A pink haired girl kept badgering.

"Tell me what were you doing?"

"Hn"

"What kind of response was that?!"

"Hn."

"Fin, I won't talk to you anymore." Sakura looked away and walked ahead of the Uchiha.

She felt a hand grab her arm. She was then pulled to the bakery.

"Come on, we'll be late for work." Sasuke warned from behind him.

"You have a car don't you? Why don't you ever bring it to school?"

"Reasons."

"No fair."

"And I thought you weren't talking to me anymore."

Sakura grunted.

"Just tell me what you and the boys have been doing lately." Sakura demanded, trying to pull them to a stop.

"Hn."

"Come on! Why are you even dragging me to work if it's our day off?!"

'Crap, she knows.'

'Who do you think told her that?'

Sasuke just kept running until they reached the park. They ran to an area with no-one there. He placed her under a tree and sat down beside her.

"Tell me!"

"It's just private."

"Just tell me. I'm worried about what's happening!"

"Hn."

"Is it about Fujiwara again?"

'How does she know?'

'Shut up; just say it isn't it,'

"Or is it about helping Naruto in the driving test next week?"

'I almost forgot about that. But I can already drive but the dobe can't'

'Just say yes!'

"Yeah." Sasuke blandly replied.

"Why didn't you say so? Hinata and I could have studied with Naruto for the test!"

'Crap. Now we have to teach the dobe how to drive.'

'Just teach him when the girls are there. Neji is so gonna beat me up at the meeting.'

'Who are you? A girl? You're an Uchiha, you don't get beat up.'

'…'

'I can't believe that you're turning soft!'

'What do you think? You're half controlling me all the time.'

'Yeah but you're the main one.'

Sakura waved a hand in front of the Uchiha who was fighting with his inner.

"Sasuke-kun, are you there?" Sakura asked again and 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-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The next day was irritating for the young Uchiha. He went to the academy with Sakura on a Sunday afternoon. He went into the hiding place where the boys met each other about the meetings. He disapprovingly opened the door. Hinata was already in there, looking around uncomfortably.

"We need to talk to you privately Uchiha." Neji gritted through his teeth.

They walked over at the corner with furious faces.

"Why did you say that we were teaching that idiot for the driving test? Now we have to teach him hoe to drive!" Neji complained.

"Yeah but she wouldn't keep quiet about it so I had to say it. I have a plan anyway." Sasuke coolly said, thinking in his mind that he knew all the answers.

"Just get the dobe and the girls to go to the blonde wench's house and they can study how to frickin' drive there."

"What? How can I listen to the plans then?" Naruto whispered.

"We'll tell you at the chatroom."

"But I don't want to get stuck with girls!"

"Hinata's there isn't she brainless?"

"Oh."

The boys agreed with the plan and told the girls what to do. They strangely agreed and went over to Ino's house.

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-x-x-x-x-x-x

The following week later the gang went into their classrooms and waited for first period. Sakura went over to her seat, nearly tripping because she was carefree.

"Be careful!" Sasuke advised, helping her get to her seat.

"Sorry. Just revising what to do." Sakura replied back.

Naruto then came into the classroom, looking all tired and wrecked. Hinata just blushed.

"Teme, it's your fault I had to study all day long yesterday WITH NO SLEEP!" Naruto bellowed, pointing a finger accusingly at the Uchiha.

"You only studied for three hours dobe." Sasuke replied back.

"Yeah but when I got home my parents found out that I was supposed to be having that driving test today so they told me to study!"

"Yeah but you could have stopped any time."

Naruto banged his head on the wall.

"Don't you have a brain?"

Girls could be heard screaming and squealing. Again. Minori was in the classroom, with a grin on his face. He had that evil plot that Karin told him some time ago.

Two weeks ago…

"So if I help, you get the Uchiha and I get Sakura?" Minori asked, making the rules clear.

"Duh! Would you trust me?" Karin asked.

"Probably not."

"Well do! We're all gonna get separated when we go to university anyway! This will definitely work!"

"Okay. So let me get this straight. You're gonna be coming to the academy next year. Get yourself smarter to get into mine and Sasuke's class. Mess up with their friends' relationships and then mess up Sasuke's and Sakura's. Your parents try and persuade to get you be betrothed to Sasuke. Sakura gets messed up. I come to help her. We try and get along and so do you and Sasuke. We all get separated for university so they will be apart for a long time."

"Exactly."

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-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

At the end of the school day, the remain of the gang came to check how Sakura, Hinata and Naruto were doing on their driving test since the rest all knew how to drive, well except for Ino. They saw pink hair, dark purplish hair and a loud blonde in the distance.

"Guys! We're over here!" Tenten called out to them.

The trio ran up to the rest of the group.

"How did it go?" Tenten asked, moving closer.

"We all…" Sakura began.

….

….

….

….

….

"WE PASSED!!!" Naruto yelled aloud unexpectedly.

"Congratulations!" The girls shrieked with joy, hugging Hinata and Sakura.

"What? No hug for me?" Naruto said in dismay.

"Hinata will give you one right?" Ino said, turning to the said girl.

"Already did." Sakura answered for her.

The girls then began to continue squealing.

"Girls." Sasuke and Neji said at the same time.

"What did you say?!" Tenten and Ino exclaimed, showing their fists.

Apparently the boys were about to get pounded and they all lived happily ever after, the end. Well it's not the end yet obviously. I just wanted to say that. XP

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-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The sun began to set under the hills. Sakura childishly hummed herself a random tune. Beside her was the Uchiha prodigy, closing his eyes.

"What did you want to talk about anyway?" Sakura asked, breaking the silence.

Sasuke stayed silent.

"Tell me! It's not everyday that you suddenly call me saying that you need to talk to me. Especially you calling me."

Sasuke stood up and took Sakura's arm with him. He led her outside to the Uchiha's mansion. They stood in front of a garage. Sasuke covered Sakura eyes.

"What's going on?" Sakura asked slowly.

She heard the garage opening.

"Surprise." Sasuke quietly whispered into her ear , taking his hand off her eyes.

"Did you seriously get me this?"

"Yeah."

"Seriously. You got me this."

"Hn."

"Can I try it?"

Sasuke held out the keys. Sakura squealed and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Sakura thanked before going into the newly bought car.

Sakura Seasons – Career Choice

"What the hell?! When did you get in here?" Sakura looked at him in a bemused expression.

"Huh? I was here the whole time! Wasn't I Hinata-chan?" Naruto objected.

"A-actually I didn't notice you were here either…" Hinata shyly replied.

"What?! Am I here?! Can anyone see me?!" Naruto hysterically yelled.

"Everyone can dobe, if you keep shouting like a dumbass." Sasuke teased.

"I'm not dumb! How did I get into this school then?"

"Bribery." Sakura and Sasuke both said in unison.

"What?! I didn't bribe them! I don't even have a mother who wants to bribe me into getting into a brainy high school!"

"Sshh, Naruto, I can hear you from the hallway." Kakashi suddenly scolded, coming into the classroom, late again.

"See! That's another thing! Kakashi-sensei is always following me around!"

"When will the loudmouth end?" Sakura moaned.

"Not until I get a theory!" Naruto yelled back.

"Well you better get in detention!" Tsunade suddenly appeared in the classroom.

"What?! Tsunade baa-chan here? Is something wrong with today?" Naruto screeched back.

"I came here to shut you up so SHUT UP!!!" Tsunade bellowed.

Naruto piped down.

"Sheesh, I could hear you from here all the way to my office." Tsunade groaned, walking back.
