HIGHSCHOOL BAD BOYS

CHAPTER 15

He tasted of smoke and some other strange bitterness that Sakura guessed as alcohol.

Tears build up in her eyes and poured down her face as he took advantage of her tense and scared phase. Forcing her mouth open and thrusting his tongue in. Sakura did the only thing she could, she bit and hard. Quickly tasting a bit of blood in her mouth, that it made her gag.

Kabuto wretched back and glared hard at Sakura. Blood ran down his chin and his eyes narrowed at her. Letting her drop to the ground she stared at the ground and squeezed her eyes shut. Kabuto raised his hand to hit her but his hand was taken a hold of. Glancing behind him, he stared right at Sasuke.

Sasuke drew back his hand, balled it up into a fist and lunged forward. Throwing all his weight and anger into the punch at Kabuto. It hit him square in the jaw and Kabuto flew back. The crowd as well as Sakura screamed as Kabuto landed close to her, she quickly scrambled to her feet but Kabuto flung his arm out to grab her leg.

Taking hold of her ankle, she fell to the ground. Getting to her knees, she glanced over her shoulder and flared her leg out.

"Let go!" she hissed with tears burning down her cheeks.

Sasuke almost dove for Kabuto and in turn Kabuto let go of Sakura and rolled onto his back. Kabuto catch Sasuke as he landed on top and rolled them over so Kabuto became dominate. Kabuto punched Sasuke back and Sasuke smirked as blood trickled down out of his own mouth.

"Is that it?" he asked tauntingly.

Kabuto sneered and Sasuke grabbed his shirt and rocked back, kicking Kabuto over him. Sakura stumbled to her feet, the ribbon that was on her dress undone and ripped as her hair was messed up as well.

Naruto glared hard at Orochimaru, not forgetting to get him as well. Orochimaru smirked but was angry as well. He caught Naruto's punch, with a grimace, Naruto shifted his weight and brought up his right leg to Orochimaru's chest.

Orochimaru scrambled backwards while Naruto back flipped to his feet. He ran to Orochimaru and gave a quick punch and kick combo, shoving Orochimaru into the chanting crowd of males who were yelling fight.

Pushes became shoves and chanting became frantic yelling. Before they knew it, the floor became a brawl between the two gangs. Other bystander males joined in. All the females ran towards the back and the band on stage stopped the music.

The chaperones quickly stopped their chatting and just as they noticed the fight break out, getting bigger.

Ino smirked wickedly as she noticed Sakura being shoved around, trying to break free from the group that somehow managed to pull her back in. Ino glanced around and sauntered up, somehow, the fight seemed to take space. She ducked and avoided colliding bodies and fists as she reached the stumbling Sakura.

Sakura staggered around blindly, messily dodging all the flying objects or bodies. Ino took her hand and led her through the fight. The hold on Sakura wasn't very gentle, in fact it was more rough than anything. Sakura winced but kept her eyes clamped shut.

Hinata pressed herself against the wall, glancing around frantically, she could see Naruto and Sasuke dead center fighting others off them or each other. Her thoughts jumped to Sakura and she looked around for her. Spotting pink , her eyes widened.

Ino was…leading her outside…and that smirk that adorned Ino's face. It could be seen from miles away…or maybe it was just the fact that Hinata knew that look. She grimaced and clutched her fists tightly, she had to stop this!

As she pushed off the wall, she jumped back to avoid the chair that slid across the floor. Hinata dove to the ground as one boy dove off a table and jumped over her. It was total hell, she cowered for another minute before glancing up.

She noticed out of the corner of her eye that Orochimaru and Kabuto left through the side door. A sour look was on Kabuto's face as Orochimaru probably persuaded him to leave. But why…? Hinata gasped, Ino wouldn't…would she…?

Hinata crawled forward, dodging the objects or people. Sitting on her knees she pulled her arms up to cover her face as someone staggered backwards about to fall over her.

"Hinata, what the hell are you doing on the ground?! Are you mental?"

Hinata opened her eyes and blushed at Naruto. He shoved the male in the other direction and pulled Hinata to her feet. Hinata glanced at the ground, Naruto raised his eyebrows and shrugged.

"Get out of here, Hinata. Your going to get hurt…Sakura won't like that." he murmured.

Hinata's eyes widened, "Naruto! Sakura-she…"

Naruto spun on his heel, glaring hard at her, "What the hell did you do to her?" he accused.

Hinata winced, clutching her fists she shook her head. Feeling truly hurt, "No! That's not it!" she held back the tears and the way her voice wanted to break. "Ino…she took her! And-and…Orochimaru and Kabuto! They left too!"

Naruto's own eyes widened and he quickly pushed past Hinata and ran towards Sasuke. Shoving passed the group that had Sasuke surrounded. Grabbing Sasuke, he pulled him back and practically dragged him. Shoving, punching or kicking their way out towards the front doors.

Sasuke lightly shoved Naruto's hands off him, "What the hell, Uzumaki? What was that?"

Naruto sighed, "Are you dumb, Uchiha? Head count, whose not there?"

Sasuke's eyes closed, "They managed to get out?" he asked, "I thought you had them!"

"And I thought you had them." countered Naruto.

Sasuke shook his head, "Hm. So we won."

Naruto stared at him placidly. Sasuke closed his eyes again, "Where's Sakura?" he asked sternly.

"Ino took her." he answered.

Sasuke glared daggers at him and jogged to the car in the parking lot, Naruto on his tail. Naruto jumped over the door and into the front seat as Sasuke turned on the ignition. Revving the car, he immediately pulled out and drove down the street with a loud roar of the engine.

Naruto knelt on the seat, his arm on top of the shield window while he glanced around. They drove for several minutes and Naruto slammed his fist on the window.

"Where the hell are they?" he mumbled.

Sasuke's grip tightened on the stirring wheel. "I have a slight thought."

Ino shoved Sakura into the little car. Sakura ducked her head in time to avoid the top part. A second later and she would have smacked her forehead on it. Not that Ino would have cared.

how had Sakura not noticed that it was Ino who led her to her…safety? She just wanted out of the chaos, she wanted to go home more than anything…that kiss still lingered and she felt like throwing up so badly. Her kiss was not meant to be like that.

She felt like crying again when she recalled it, but Ino's glare shut her up. Ino stood outside the car for a few more minutes, as if she was waiting for someone, but Sakura couldn't see who. Finally she entered the car and started the engine.

A car passed hers and she followed the run down beat up car. Sakura furrowed her brow but couldn't recognize it from the distance or the way it was dark out. Sakura glanced at her hands sadly and closed her eyes.

"Where are you taking me?" whispered Sakura.

Ino glanced in the mirror, her eyes full of malice and the look of hate. "Shut up." she hissed and Sakura obeying them she clamped her mouth shut. Maybe if she did as she was told, she'd be let off more easily. Sakura glanced out the back window and frowned.

"Sasuke, Naruto…hurry."

The car finally stopped and Sakura glanced out the window at their location. It was the stone bridge they use to pass everyday when she walked with Naruto and Sasuke. She furrowed her brow and it was the place where the boundary was marked…as well as the location she met Orochimaru and Kabuto.

Ino glared at Sakura, "Hurry up!" she hissed, grabbing Sakura's tasseled locks and forcing her out of the car faster. Sakura winced at the pain and shuffled her feet to keep pace with Ino. Ino shoved Sakura to the stone wall and Sakura clamped onto the side as Ino's hand went to the back of her head.

Taking a firm grip, she shoved Sakura's head to look over the edge. Sakura held in the scream she wanted to yell, refusing to give in. What was going on? What was the meaning behind all this?

Ino glanced over her shoulder and smirked as Orochimaru and Kabuto walked over to her. She pushed Sakura's head and let go, she placed her hands on her hips.

"So, what's the plan?" she asked.

Orochimaru and Kabuto ignored Ino, pushing passed her to the trembling Sakura. Her hands gripped the stone wall hard, her knuckles turning white with the hard pressure. So that's who were in the other car, she found it hard to breath properly.

Orochimaru moved forward, not letting the still angry Kabuto get near her. His hand traced the side of her face and placed under her chin, tilting her chin up. Sakura tensed and she hoped that he wouldn't do what she was thinking.

He smirked, "I won't hurt you." he cooed, "Do you know why we brought you here, hmm?"

Sakura slowly shook her head. Orochimaru spun her, her right arm pinned to her back. "Does this place look familiar…hmm?"

Sakura gave a curt nod, "Um-hmm." she mused, trying hard to figure out where he was going with this.

Orochimaru eyed Sakura, her neck revealed as her hair cascaded on the opposite side. Orochimaru leaned forward and nuzzled her neck right below her ear. Sakura tensed immediately, her fear rising inside her.

"Well?" he whispered.

Sakura froze but managed to open her mouth, "W-why…?" she muttered quietly, keeping her eyes focused on the semi-shallow river below.

Orochimaru chuckled, "Ha-ha. Well, it's what your dumb ass of a boyfriend did." Orochimaru let go of her pinned arm and let his index finger slither along her back and to her hair, petting her like some sort of animal.

Kabuto went to Sakuras other side. Sakura did her best to continue to stare down, anything besides their faces. Kabuto and Orochimaru exchanged glances before taking hold of Sakura's arms and placing her on the edge. Sakura staggered and swayed awkwardly.

Orochimaru chuckled and stepped up, absent mindedly, Sakura clung to Orochimaru, fearful for a fall that could cause serious injury. Kabuto smirked and stepped up next to her, taking a hold of her wrist he wretched her away from Orochimaru, Sakura stumbled and swayed dangerously.

Sakura desperately clung to his shirt, he pried her hands off and could feel tears stream down her face. Ino laughed, turning on her heel she left them…leaving Sakura in the hands of two devils. If anything, they would scar her more than she ever could.

Sakura glanced over her shoulder as Ino's car revved to life and than drove away. Sakura's eyes widened and she yelled, "Ino! No-no, come back!"

Kabuto laughed, "Scared?" he asked.

Sakura glared, tear streaked, at him. Orochimaru whipped Sakura around to face him, Sakura caught her balance and he smirked.

"So do you realize now what he did?" he asked.

Kabuto closed the gap between his and Sakura's bodies. He pressed up against her back and Sakura shook her head in a desperate plead to make them stop. Orochimaru glanced over the edge.

"He jumped, Sakura." murmured Kabuto softly into her ear.

Sakura's eyes went wide, so that was what he was going to say the first time she saw them. Naruto did jump…and survived, but with injuries she was sure. But why had he done so? To prove he was superior? Sakura was sure it wasn't just for territory claim.

Slowly and unnoticeable at first, the three began to rock back and forth. Sakura began to take notice and tried hard to plant her feet but that only caused it to make her lean out forward and cause her rocking to take big sways.

"Your boy was dangerous." Orochimaru's eyes glinted.

Kabuto gave a nod, "Both were. If Naruto hadn't forced Sasuke to back down, they would have both jumped."

Orochimaru and Kabuto chuckled, never once stopping the swaying, "He broke his arm and leg, almost his spine and neck…lucky bastard."

Sakura glared, "Shut up!" she whispered, "You-you guys probably forced them into it! Egged them on!"

Orochimaru rolled his eyes, "Sakura, they were too easy. They were air heads and would do anything spontaneous they thought offended them…whether it's starting a fist fight or…jumping off a stone bridge."

"Do you swim, Sakura?" asked Kabuto suddenly, as their swaying stopped.

Sakura's eyes closed, she clenched her jaw to keep from responding. Her heart beat picked up it's pace fearfully.

Naruto scrunched up his feet, in a squad jump position on the seat. Sasuke pushed passed the speed limit, his grip growing tighter on the stirring wheel. Naruto noticed Ino's car whiz by and he almost told Sasuke to go after her…but something told him Sakura wasn't with her.

Sasuke's eyes widened as well as Naruto's as they neared the location. Sakura glanced over her shoulder, "Naruto! Sasuke!"

Kabuto and Orochimaru tightened their grip on her arm and she winced. Stepping on the brakes, the car screeched to a stop, the tires making long black skid marks. Naruto jumped out, racing to the bridge where they all stood.

With a smirk, Kabuto and Orochimaru simultaneously tossed her forward. Sakura felt the stone beneath her feet disappear, the air in her lungs vanished and everything rushed as she fell to the river. Her scream echoed but she felt a tug on her right wrist.

Tears streamed down her face as she glanced up. Naruto leaned over her, holding onto her wrist, he was over the stone bridge. She managed to smile up at him, her eyes sparkling with gratitude.

"Naruto!" she whispered, "Thank you-"

Naruto smirked, "It's okay, I got you…"

Kabuto quickly recovered from the blow Naruto had given him right before he had dove for Sakura. Kabuto wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and glared at Naruto. A smirk came to his face once he realized that he could easily push them both off.

Sasuke jogged over as fast as he could, the car in neutral, and smacking Kabuto before he could get his hands on Naruto. Orochimaru backed away with a slow grin.

"Aah, Sasuke. Your angry. How delightful." he cooed.

Sasuke glared, "Orochimaru, you will pay! Pay for what you did to her!"

Orochimaru sighed loudly, "Ever so sorry, but not tonight, Sasuke." He glanced at Kabuto who got to his feet reluctantly and followed him to Orochimaru's car.

Kabuto pointed his finger threateningly to each of them. Naruto managed to pull Sakura back over the bridge, he collapsed on the ground and Sakura clung to him, shivering endlessly.

"You'll pay…" he glared at Sakura and then to the other two. "I'll make sure of it."

Sasuke stayed put quite reluctantly. But Sakura was much more important than them and they'd get what they deserved later. He watched as the car whizzed by, inches away from them. Neither male moved or recoiled from the intended threat.

The car swerved and hit Naruto's car in the back, taking off the whole back bumper. The sound of metal against metal screeched through the night air and Sakura cringed noticeably. Naruto only held her tighter, glaring hard at the fading car.

Sasuke's eyes lingered on the window. "Sorry." he thought. He had said it to her so many times…but he still felt obliged to continue the saying. Though, she couldn't hear him much longer. Naruto was just as angry in himself as Sasuke was.

As soon as the light turned off, he began to pull out of the driveway. His onyx eyes never really looking at the road but still at her window. A smile crept to his lips when he noticed the curtain move about a few inches to the side.

Naruto let his fingers travel along the dented piece of metal that was once attached to his car. More work was needed now…he glanced at the window as well but didn't seem to notice the same movement as Sasuke had.

Turning his head, he watched the house shrink as they drove away. Once out of sight, he sighed loudly. Sasuke glanced in the mirror to look at him and than back at the road. Naruto's hands balled into fists and he threw his head back.

"I can't believe this." he muttered finally.

Sasuke stayed silent hadn't they already talked about this? Naruto pounded his fist on the metal and indignantly cursed loudly. The wind blew through his combed and now messy hair, it felt good and he missed it but it didn't make him feel any better.

"How could we let this happen?" he asked, "How could you let this happen!"

Sasuke glared, "What the hell are you saying? I? You mean you!"

Naruto opened his eyes and glanced at Sasuke, "Me? Oh-ho, now isn't that just great! You were the one not paying attention and-"

"You were the one who was jealous! If you hadn't intervened-"

"Like I would have let you had Sakura all night! She was my date too!" countered Naruto with a hiss. "You would have done the same thing!"

Silence ensued, but neither tried to add or retort. Sasuke parked the car in the driveway, killing the engine, he shoved the car door open and slammed it shut.

Naruto glared at Sasuke's back as he made his way to Naruto's house. Naruto jumped over the side and followed Sasuke.

"Hey! Don't slam the car door like that!" he yelled after him.

Sasuke glared over his shoulder and wretched the door open, "Hn."

Naruto furrowed his brows as he tried to make his glare more effective, "Dammit, Sasuke! I mean it!" he snapped.

Sasuke stopped and spun on his heel, "Naruto, stop acting like you're a mother! It's pathetic…"

Naruto's eyes widened, "I-I am not acting like a mom! You…asshole!" he yelled chucking the nearest object at Sasuke.

Sasuke dodged it and gritted his teeth. Sasuke stalked forward and Naruto did the same. Naruto grabbed Sasuke's collar and Sasuke grabbed Narutos as they stared down each other, waiting for one to cave…when neither appeared to do so, Sasuke spoke.

"We can't both have her…" he muttered.

Naruto glared, "I know." he answered, "So I guess…"

Sasuke shoved Naruto away and Naruto dusted off his shirt. "We're rivals."

Naruto glanced at the ground, it hurt to hear it but he agreed none the less. Sasuke felt another rage build up inside him as he said the words. How could he become rivals with his…best friend? With his brother figure?

It hurt them both…yet neither interjected.

Sakura wearily glanced over her shoulder at them. She objected their offer to walk her to the front porch, she had to prove she could do it. She still had strength. With as much strength left over she opened the door and closed it quietly behind her.

She could hear the TV was on and idly wondered if her father was waiting or fell asleep in front of it. She really doubted it, slipping off her heels, she quickly looked herself over in the hallway mirror. Her make up was streaked down her cheeks and her hair was wind blown and frizzy.

Rubbing her eyes she quickly bolted to the stairs, her father didn't get the chance to ask her about her night. She'd tell him a lie in the morning…after she thought of one all night. She closed her door and turned the lock on it.

Sakura didn't want her dad to find out anything, the least thing she needed was moving far away from her problems…and the ones she came to adore. She glanced at the light turned on in her room, she could still hear the low rumble of the car in the drive way.

Changing into her pajamas as fast as she could she pulled her messy hair back into a low ponytail and turned off the light. She knew they'd only leave when they thought she'd headed for bed. She laid on her bed for a second but than found herself on her feet again.

She sauntered over to her window and knelt on her knees. Moving the curtains over a bit, she looked down at the car. They were backing up and Sakura made eye contact with Sasuke for the briefest moment. She smiled softly to herself.

He had seen her…

As soon as the car was out of sight she let the curtain drop and went to her bed. The weekend would be long and Monday would be longer…but she was sure she'd be okay with them both. They had made her night memorable…before everything went haywire.

Sakura laid on her bed and buried her face in the pillow. Humming herself to sleep.

Sakura reread her script over and over again. Sitting in the theater chair she smiled at Sasuke who sat next to her. She had decided that today was the day she allowed the kiss…she had to. There was only a short time until the performance, a few more practices until the big day.

And like always, Kakashi was late…

Naruto paced the lobby, occasionally glaring at Sasuke but, for the first time, kept his mouth shut about complaining and just settled with walking back and forth. Sakura watched him walk back and than go the other way and than back again.

She smiled but found it odd that he wasn't shouting his complaints for the world to hear. Everyone was glad he didn't, but Sakura wanted him to. In fact, Sasuke and Naruto hadn't been acting like themselves that day.

First of all, it was in the morning. Sasuke had shown up a bit earlier to walk with Sakura to school, Naruto wasn't around. She had asked where he was and Sasuke told him that he went ahead since he had to meet with the principal for something.

Sakura understood but found that Naruto was late to school. Than there was the lunch room thing, where Naruto walked Sakura from her locker and bought her lunch. She didn't mind, since it was a payment for all her tutoring.

Naruto and her shared lunch outside, it was a nice gesture and it was calming outside. Sakura had asked where Sasuke was and Naruto shrugged saying that he had a detention to serve. Sakura thought against asking what for since she could ask him later.

Later she found that Sasuke had skipped lunch in order to find Sakura. Sakura was confused on how Naruto and Sasuke seemed to be avoiding each other or at least acting strangely when together. She wanted to ask what was wrong but found that if it was really that big, they'd confide in her about it.

And now, with Sasuke next to her and occasionally reciting lines to each other, Naruto was far away from them. Vice versa. Sakura noticed the looks Naruto gave Sasuke and the ones Sasuke gave back to Naruto, she guessed they were in a fight…

After a few minutes, Kakashi showed up. A gloomy look upon his face, Sakura furrowed her brow, this time she was sure that his excuse was something serious. He sat on the edge of the stage and motioned everyone that was scattered about the auditorium.

The students moved to the first few chairs before the stage, Naruto made his way and sat on the other end of Sakura. Sakura smiled at him and than looked at Kakashi. Kakashi sighed loudly before smiling at his cast.

"For some unreasonably and strange reason, the Principal has issued me a non-kissing/physical/etc play. As in, there will be no kissing scene or fighting scenes…for this play. All drug references and all that sweet angst in this play is cut."

Sakura furrowed her brow, "What?" she asked. "We perform in a week!"

Kakashi sighed, "I know…but it was not my decision. I tried and Ms. Kurenai tried…but it was no use."

The students began to murmur softly amongst each other and Kakashi clapped his hands to silence the noise. The students glanced at him and he stood up.

"Well, let's get to rehearsing!"

Sakura and Sasuke made their way to the stage and Sakura quietly murmured the lines to herself before Kakashi took their scripts from them and made them recite the lines. It took a lot longer than intended since Kakashi had to cut the kissing scene out, much to Naruto's own joy.

Once the scene was done and to Kakashi's perfection, he dismissed Sakura and called Naruto to the stage. Naruto grimaced and Sakura smiled at him.

"Good luck, Naruto." she whispered.

Naruto smiled at her and nodded, "Thanks."

Sakura sat down and watched. Kakshi glanced from both teens, she was sure he could sense the tension between the two. Sakura sure as hell could. She had a fleeting vibe that something bad would happen.

The words that Sasuke spoke were so filled with hate that Sakura shivered. She could feel the words much more than hear them. Naruto acted the same, mean and way out of character. It seemed that his character was saying the things that went on in his mind.

Kakashi seemed to enjoy it, it made the scene much more believable. Angrily and suddenly Naruto lunged at Sasuke. Sasuke side stepped and grabbed his shirt, throwing him forward. Naruto did a forward roll, turning he jumped back to his feet and threw his fist at Sasuke.

"Guys!" yelled Kakashi.

Sakura stood up and ran to the edge of the stage, "Naruto! Sasuke!" she yelled.

"Sakura likes me!" hissed Naruto.

Sasuke scoffed and judo kicked him, "Hn. She likes me." he stated.

Kakashi glanced at Sakura and she blushed. Jumping on the stage, Kakashi grabbed them by the scruff of their necks and pushed them away from each other.

"Enough! You don't fight in the sacred theater! Now out you two! If I see you guys fighting I'll pull you two out of the play with a year of detention!" he yelled.

Naruto fought against himself to make a remark, seeing Sakura's pleading eyes he kept it to himself. Sasuke looked away from Naruto and Kakashi, frowning slightly towards Sakura who strangely felt like she should be comforting to them both.

She watched as they walked next to each other out the doors in the hall way without so much as a word to each other and without a glance to another. Sakura glanced at the ground and apologized to Kakashi.

Kakashi shook his head and patted her on the head, "They just both care…" he murmured. "Just really dumb at it."

Sakura smiled softly.

Sasuke closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. Naruto shot him glares from the other side of the hall way. He rubbed his chin, it hurt thanks to Sasuke's hell of a right hook. But Naruto was pretty sure he had given Sasuke a foot mark on his abdomen.

Naruto slide to the ground, drawing his legs up to his chest he slumped against the wall. Seconds became minutes as the time slowly inched by, Naruto couldn't really stand it. Being in the hall way with…him.

The feeling was mutual for Sasuke.

Naruto snapped his head to the side, standing up he glared hard down the hall. Sasuke heard Naruto's sudden movement and opened his eyes. He glanced down the hall and pushed of the wall.

"What the hell are you doing here?" asked Sasuke. Naruto nodded.

Kabuto raised his hands, his face placid. Orochimaru smirked, "We're not here to fight."

"You don't get to decide." gritted Naruto.

Kabuto sighed, "Trust me Uzumaki, I hate this too."

Sasuke glared, "What do you want?" he asked.

Kabuto and Orochimaru exchanged looks. "A favor…" shrugged Kabuto.

"No, more like…a debt." added Orochimaru.

Sasuke and Naruto glared, but reluctantly listened.
