Chapter 4) More Trouble
(Author's Note: School is coming in two days!! Due to the daily stress of school, I will now have a certain day each week that this story is updated. This day will probably be Saturday, unless announced otherwise. Thank you for reading so far! )
That night, a very angry Ino came through Sakura's dorm door. Her expression changed when she noticed that Sakura was on the phone. Curious, Ino went against the phone to listen in their conversation. Sakura lightly pushed her away before she could hear the other line speak.
"I'll see you near the cherry blossoms, then." Sakura said, smiling softly.
"Okay, later." The other line said, and hung up.
Sakura hung up as well, and placed the cell phone on her desk. She looked over at Ino, who was grinning. Ino dashed for the phone, but Sakura quickly pulled it away from the desk.
"Who was that?" Ino asked, smiling.
"Who do you think?" Sakura asked.
Ino's smile turned into a wide grin. "Another date, huh? Let's hope Karin doesn't get in the way." Ino said.
"About that, how did detention go with Anko?" Sakura asked.
"Terrible. Karin and some other girls kept glaring at me like I'm Konoha's most wanted." Ino sighed.
"Sorry I had to bring you into this." Sakura apologized. Ino looked over to the table desk, and smiled.
"Trust me, it's all worth it." Ino replied, noticing Sakura wasn't finished with her homework.
The bell rang throughout both schools, signaling lunch time. A girl named KiKi dropped her folder on the floor, and several papers scattered everywhere. Sakura generously helped her pick them up, and once she had put them in an organized matter, she found that she was alone in the classroom. Puzzled, Sakura set the folder on the desk, and picked up her bag. Heading for the front door, she realized that she had forgotten a textbook. Turning around, she heard a loud slam from behind, and figured it was just a door being closed by some student. Retrieving her textbook, Sakura walked quicker to the double doors, eager to have lunch with Sasuke. When the door handle didn't budge, she knew something was wrong.
Running to the principal's office so that Shizune could open the doors for her, she heard a distinct giggle behind her, and turned around. She saw nothing but stairs and an empty hallway, so she quickly ran to the main office with a chill in her spine.
"Shizune!" Sakura called, opening the doors. The chair Shizune usually sat in was empty, which was weird. Walking to the windows, she spotted Shizune having lunch with other teachers, and looked around for Sasuke. To her dismay, she saw Sasuke with another girl! But not just another girl, Karin.
What is he doing with her? Sakura thought, helpless.
She knew she could not trigger the censors with poofing out of the school without getting in trouble again, and she knew she couldn't just damage the building either with a simple superhuman punch. Sighing, Sakura sat sadly on the chair, and watched Karin flirt with Sasuke. Her jade eyes then searched for her best friend, but she looked like she was having a blast with Shikamaru. Her cell phone rang, and Sakura immediately looked down at Sasuke, who had his cell phone to his ear. Smiling, she answered it.
"Hello?" Sasuke asked on the other line.
"Sasuke-kun! I'm sorry, but I can't get out!" Sakura said, staring at him through the window.
"What do you mean you can't get out? Karin said you received detention for talking too much." Sasuke said.
"What?! I didn't get detention! I had to help KiKi with her papers, and then the doors locked on me!" Sakura explained frantically.
She watched Sasuke glare at Karin.
"Where are you?" Sasuke asked Sakura.
"Look up!" Sakura said.
Sasuke looked up, and saw Sakura waving at the highest window. He waved back.
"I'm coming." He said, and hung up, leaving a confused Sakura alone.
A few minutes later, Sasuke opened the door to the office where Sakura sat, munching on her lunch. She looked up, and instantly smiled when she saw Sasuke.
Embracing him, she asked: "How did you get here?" Sakura asked.
"I'm an expert at picking locks." Sasuke mumbled.
As soon as they took out their lunch, the bell rang. Sakura sweat dropped, and Sasuke mentally cursed. Putting their lunches away, Sakura smiled.
"I'm sorry." Sakura apologized.
"Hn." Sasuke grunted.
"Are you mad?" Sakura asked.
"Hn." Sasuke grunted, and left.
Sakura sighed, and went to class quickly before anyone saw her leaving the principal's office. From around the corner, Karin plunged her fist in the wall.
"Grrr, I was so sure that would work." Karin growled, glaring at the pink haired ninja. "If Sasuke wasn't the one who called her, then I would have gotten her in trouble for cell phone use!"
"Exactly, he called her first after you told him that she got detention. That proves that he cares about her, so why can't you leave Sakura alone? What did she ever do to you?" KiKi asked.
"She stole Sasuke away from us!" KiKi's best friend, Hana, growled.
"You mean you two, I don't like-"
"Of course you do, KiKi! I know you secretly like him, but you've always kept it a secret because you know I like him too! That's okay, though, because we're all in this together!" Hana explained cheerfully.
"That's right." Karin agreed. "That's why we need you, KiKi, because you're one of us."
"B-but-"
"Together, we will get that pink haired slut expelled!" Hana exclaimed.
"O-okay, so what's your plan, Karin?" KiKi asked, still unsure of her decision.
"Operation: Break up is in order, and it will be full proof!" Karin declared.
"Okay!" Hana and KiKi chirped.
"What are you three doing, get to class!" Anko boomed, pointing to the three evil girls.
The three walked to their different classrooms.
Yes, with their help, Sasuke will dump Sakura, leaving her heartbroken! Then Sasuke will be looking for a new girlfriend, which I will be, since those two idiots are helping me. Hahaha! They don't know that I'm actually going to make them look stupid as I get rid of Sakura. Yes, I will become Karin Uchiha! Karin thought, smiling evilly.
Once Sakura returned to her dorm, she realized that the Uchiha had sent her a text message. The text message read "Meet me outside". Puzzled, Sakura looked out her dorm window and could see a distant figure with raven hair standing outside the school. Karin was also with him, probably flirting with him or something. Ino came out of the bathroom, wearing a black top and jeans.
"Ino, could you do me a favor?" Sakura asked.
"Sure, what is it?" Ino asked.
Sakura explained what she thought was happening, and Ino nodded.
"Sasuke!" Sakura called, running up to him with her cell phone clenched tightly.
The raven haired boy looked at Sakura, his gaze close enough to a cold glare. Startled, Sakura stuttered nervously: "What did you want?"
His eyes narrowed down at her, and she took a few steps back. "Oh, you're still mad about lunch." Sakura stuttered uneasily.
He nodded. "Don't talk to me ever again." Sasuke stated.
"Huh?" Sakura asked.
"Don't even think about me." Sasuke stated.
"Just because you didn't get to spend time with me at lunch?" Sakura asked.
"No, Karin explained it all to me. She said you locked yourself in on purpose, just so you could get attention." Sasuke said.
"No, I wouldn't do such a thing!" Sakura stammered.
"Yes you would, because you're just another attention whore." Sasuke said.
"But I had to gather Hana's papers for her!" Sakura explained.
"Hana was with Karin during lunch, I know because they came to me." Sasuke said.
"AND WHERE IS HANA NOW?!"
Sasuke and Sakura turned their heads. Ino was with Karin and KiKi, and they had guilty expressions on their faces, especially KiKi.
"What do you mean, Ino?" Sakura asked.
"That Sasuke is a fake!" Ino shouted, pointing to 'Sasuke'.
"Huh?!" 'Sasuke' and Sakura asked, confused.
Ino pushed Karin and KiKi to the ground, and then walked over to Sasuke.
"Kai, release!" Ino shouted, and jabbed 'Sasuke' on the forehead with two fingers.
Sasuke started changing, and soon, Hana appeared before them.
"What?!" Sakura gasped, still confused.
"Since you told me that you thought Sasuke was going to break up with you because he seemed mad during lunch, I just knew the whole thing reeked of Karin and her little accomplices. This was just another plan to make you two break up!" Ino explained, pointing to the guilty trio.
Staring down at them, Sakura then heard someone shouting behind her. Turning around, Sasuke came running to them. Sakura smiled, and hugged Sasuke, knowing it was the real one.
"Give me back my cell phone." Sasuke demanded, pointing at Karin.
Karin instantly displayed an innocent, yet flirty look on her face. "I don't have it, Sasuke-kuuuuun." Karin said.
"Yes you do, you took it from me during lunch. I want it back." Sasuke demanded.
"We didn't take it, Sakura did. She's so desperate that she took a simple device from you, so that she could remember it since you were going to break up with her." Karin explained, still innocently looking at him.
"I wasn't going to break with her. " Sasuke said, wrapping an arm around Sakura.
"Sure you were, because she's an attention whore! She locked herself in on purpose!" Karin sneered, pointing at the greed eyed girl. Ino slapped the hand away.
"Shut it, you attention whore." Ino growled.
Sasuke grabbed his phone from Hana. "Stop telling lies." Sasuke scolded, and gave the three his death glare. Nervous and startled, they fled from the spot.
"Yeah you better run!" Ino shouted, and then turned to Sakura.
"It's all worth it." Ino sighed, smiling. Sakura thanked Ino, and Sasuke mumbled a thank you as well. Satisfied, Ino returned to her dorm room.
There was an awkward silence between to the two. "Since we didn't have lunch together, want to have dinner?" Sakura suggested. Sasuke smirked.
"Hn, let's just skip right to desert." Sasuke said, nibbling at her ear. Sakura blushed, and slapped him.
"You wish, Uchiha!" She exclaimed, smiling.
The two laughed, and decided to take a walk in the cherry blossom trees.
Watching from her dorm window, KiKi growled, biting her thumb.
"She doesn't deserve him… she doesn't deserve him." KiKi repeated, losing her temper.
"SHE DOESN'T DESERVE HIM!" KiKi roared, and punched the mirror, leaving a long crack.
Hana walked over to KiKi, smiling. As the crack grew in the mirror, the two girls looked in it.
"You're so close, KiKi. You just need to loosen up more…" Hana coaxed, smiling evilly. The mirror shattered, and a whole new person was reborn.
