Konoha (Karma) University
Chapter 3
AN: It's here! Chapter 3 of K.U.! I am about a week behind of posting it, but that is not my fault, FF was acting crazy and would not let me up load for that whole week and then I had five essays to do for my communications class which was just unfair... Sorry I'm off topic, anyways! Yes, this is the new chapter, I tried to "Spice" things up a bit in this chapter (as I said before, lemons will build slowly and once they come in there is no stopping them!) but still keeping it... pg17? maybe. But none the less, most of the other main characters finally make their appearance! O happy day! Okay, lets me stop talking up here (for those that actually read this) and you now can get on with the story! Enjoy!

August {week One} D.P.O.V. (Different points of view)
"H-hey teme, ya ready to head out?" Naruto sputtered slightly and scratched the back of his head.
"….." Silence and a harsh glare was the only response the younger raven gave to the whisker faced male, 'How can I hurt him if he keeps lookin' so damn sexy?' Sasuke wagered mentally, but that only caused his glare to deepen.
"Uhhh…" The blonde fidgeted and began to speak once more before he was cut off by an either blind, dumb or masochistic, possibly all the above, redhead.
"Why, don't you look happy 'Tachi! And here you and little Sasuke are waitin' so patiently for us, I'm touched!" Kyuubi faked a dry sob and continued his stroll of possible doom over to the still boiling older Uchiha.
"Kyuubi," Itachi hissed, "You're makin' your punishment worse." He threatened the redhead, who now had an arm wrapped around the brooding long haired raven.
"Aww, don't be like that! Come on, I'll give you anythin' you want as an apology, okay?" Kyuubi offered with, what could be the most perfect version of puppy dog eyes, and tilted his head cutely. Even for a twenty-six year old.
"Hn." Itachi grunted and twisted out of the tan males grip, "Tempting, now come on, we have to meet at the house before we go to class." He continued and slid into his car. (1)
"Damn, that's right! Okay, okay," Kyuubi smacked his forehead in realization and ran towards his car only to slide across the hood like he was in an action movie, "Naruto, you two better hurry up. Even if ya have Kakashi for your first class, ya should still try to get to class within the first fifteen minutes, rules are rules!" Kyuubi instructed before he beeped open his Dazzling bright red Aston Martin V12 Zagato, which, if looked at from behind, looked like a crazed demon with red glowing eyes. As soon as he was in the car Itachi started his up with a voice command and pushed a button that opened the barred gate to the private lot, following his lead, Kyuubi fired his show stopping car up with a similar voice command as well, and just as Itachi was going to peel out of the garage, he rolled down his blacked out window and smirked at his still fuming little brother.
"Good luck with dealin' with Naruto on the job Sasuke, don't let him get to you." Itachi teased the pale raven and chuckled slightly before zooming out of the deck, followed by Kyuubi, who threw his sulking brother a huge grin as he passed. The two boys stood there for a few more seconds before the raven silently slid into his car, the blonde quickly ran up to stop the door just as he was closing it.
"Wait, Te- Sasuke come on! Really, ya can't be this mad at me! It's not completely my fault that I'm late." Naruto whined and rested his arms on the top of the car, causing him to lean slightly into it and preventing the raven from shutting the door. Even so, Sasuke only continued to look straight ahead, as if not hearing him.
"Naruto." Sasuke said in a very monotone voice. 'Ignore him, ignore him.' He chanted in his head.
"Huuuuh?" Naruto quirked his head to the side and smirked at the raven, who he realized was trying to ignore him but he knew just how to get his attention. The tanned male then grabbed the ravens chin and forced onyx to meet with azure, he then very slowly craned his head down towards the slightly wide-eyed Sasuke, only to stop once his lips were just a whisper form the pale boys perfectly smooth lips. Even more slowly, torturously slow to Sasuke, Naruto moved his hand along Sasuke's jaw, letting his thumb graze over his plump bottom lip and travel to the back out his duck-butt head, then gripping a handful of his raven hair.
"Dobe," Sasuke warned in what could only be classified as a hushed groan. 'Fuck, I give up! I'll just be mad at him later.' he finally admitted to himself. Just as his resolve dissolved, Naruto, sensing his waver, swiftly pressed his lips to Sasuke's petal soft lips in an arousing kiss, which promised much more if it were to continue. Sasuke then brought one hand up to the tan males' chest, only to fist his hand in his blinding shirt and pulled him in to deepen the kiss, for the moment, both males had completely forgotten about their need to rush to class. As Naruto swiped his slick pink muscle across the ravens' soft lips, the other granted him the access he knew he was searching for and began to engage their tongues in a heated battle for dominance, though soon Sasuke let Naruto take over, seeing as he was already hovering over him. Unfortunately, their mini make-out session was cut short when the blondes phone went off rather loudly, shocking the two boys and causing said blonde to jump slightly, which left him to bang his head on the inside of the car. He quickly fumbled in his bag for the annoying ringtone of Shaggy- Who let the dogs out? That could only be one person calling him instead of texting him, due to the lack of a vibration.
'Who let the dogsout?
Who, who, who, who, who?
Who let the dogsout?
Who, who, who, who, who?'
"Kiba…" Sasuke practically growled in a slightly breathless voice, he to already knew who the caller was since it was decided amongst their friends that this particular person be charged with that song, 'Dammit dog boy, just when it was getting good!' he grumbled mentally and scowled at the blonde as he pulled his phone out of his bag.
"I'm gonna strangle that dog breath bastard," Naruto mumbled and accepted the call, "Yeah Kiba?" He sighed into the phone and leaned back against the ravens' car as he rubbed his sore head.
"Yo! Where're you and Mr. Attitude at man?" Kiba barked loudly into the phone, causing the blonde to wince slightly.
"Don't worry, we're on our way dude, we just got held up by our parents." Naruto explained and rolled his eyes at the constantly changing nickname he'd given Sasuke.
"Suuuure you did, come on man, even Shika made it down here before you guys did! Isn't that sayin' enough?" Kiba shouted into the phone once again, this time causing Naruto to pull the phone away from his head and look towards the raven, who was shaking his head at the loud male on the other end.
"Damn! Seriously? Alright, alright we're comin' right now!" Naruto exclaimed and pushed himself off of the car.
"Yeah, later." Kiba agreed and hung up, needing no further replies for the blonde.
"Told you we were late." Sasuke smirked from inside his car.
"Oh shut it Teme, let's just get goin'." Naruto grinned and ducked in once more to peck the unsuspecting raven on the lips, causing said raven to blush ever so slightly, before he sprinted to his car, which was a ridiculously bright orange Ferrari 458 Italia. To say the blonde loved that car would be a huge understatement! He practically considered that car part of the family. Having the gate to their private garage still open from their brothers departure seriously cut down on the time they would have to wait for it to reopen, so both boys quickly started their pride and joys the same way their brothers had, then all but peeled out of the building and onto the street, which thankfully didn't have many people occupying it even for this time of the day. The two males quickly made their way through the city streets, avoiding the highway that they knew would be congested, the whole way to the campus they nonverbally began to race to see who would arrive in the university's parking deck first and soon enough they were there and revealing that the raven beat the blonde by at least a foot. As they drove through the deck to their reserved spaces, they noticed that their brothers had not yet made it to campus, proof from their empty spaces.
Once they parked next to the vacant spaces, they quickly made their way to the Criminology department building, as they somewhat sprinted across the campus Naruto briefly glanced at the clock tower as they passed it and the time told of 8:30am on the dot. 'Dammit!' he inwardly cursed himself, knowing that they were fifteen whole minutes late, so much for being on time for the first day of classes. Once they finally made it to their destined building, they decided to take the steps three flights up instead of waiting for the elevator, which would undoubtedly make them even later than they currently were and after having finally made it to the third floor, they slowed down to a brisk walk, until they came to a complete stop once they reached their class and looked through the window on the door to see if the professor was there or not, and thankfully he was not. So, without further hesitation, they casually opened the door and strolled in, all the while willing their lungs to drag in heaps of much needed air from all that running.
"Well, look who finally decided to show up!" A girl in the class with bubblegum pink hair shouted loud enough for the others in the class to hear, who were currently in a loose circle, away from the other students present, conversing loudly. The group of people then ceased talking to glance at what the pinkette pointed out.
"It's not our fault Sakura and this time I mean it." Naruto repeated and absently scratched his scarred cheek.
"Oh, so does that mean that the other times you were late, you did that on purpose?" A pale blonde, blue eyed girl demanded next and raised a brow.
"Ah, no n- well, not really, I mean! No!" The tanned male sputtered as he walked to take a seat next to a sleeping raven haired male, who had his hair pulled up in a pineapple shaped ponytail. 'Man, asleep as usual.' The blonde thought and rolled his eyes.
"Hahah, you're so slow man! You walked right into that!" A messy haired brunette with slit pupils and red triangle tattoos on his cheeks laughed and smacked the blonde on his back.
"God Kiba, you're too loud," Sasuke glared at the loud brunette, who had so rudely caused an end to the make-out session he and the blonde were having earlier, "And I was only late because I was waitin' for him and Kyuubi to meet up with me and Itachi, Ino." He continued speaking to the blue eyed girl and hitched his thumb at the blonde male seated beside him.
"Hey hey hey! I said that wasn't my fault!" Naruto defended himself and playfully punched the pale raven. 'Just wait 'til they hear the reason why!' he mentally smirked.
"Then pray tell us the reason, Naruto." A long haired brunette mentioned, leaning back in his seat and staring at him with amused grey eyes.
"Hold your horses Neji I was just gettin' to that!" Naruto grinned widely, "So yeah, this mornin' my parents told me and Kyuu that they were gonna be goin' back out of town for a conference or somethin', and they told Kyuu that he'd be in charge of the hospital while they were gone!" He exclaimed animatedly, his cerulean eyes shining with the memory.
"And? They usually leave him charge or place him as the temp V.P, when they're gone, either him or your grandmother." Neji stated.
"Yeah, but this time they made ME the temp V.P!" Naruto all but screeched and balled his fist in front of him in excitement.
"What?" The whole group shouted, even those who had yet to say anything and shocked the sleeping raven into alertness, even earning them a few questioning glances from the other students, as the drowsy raven very slowly raised his head to look at the loud crowd with a sleepy scowl.
"What are you guys shoutin' about?" The drowsy raven yawned, but quickly got his answer as soon as he saw who was next to him, "Oh, Naruto." He continued and shook his head.
"Quiet real quick Shika, Dude are you serious?" A brunette girl with her hair up in two buns waved the previously sleeping raven off and asked the blonde in disbelief.
"Totally Tenten! I'm so freakin' excited man!" The blonde fisted the air.
"That's great news, Naruto." A blood red haired male with black circles around his eyes said in a monotone voice, along with a smirk.
"Yes, this is truly great news indeed!" Another male with seriously bushy eyebrows and a bowl cut hair style shouted boisterously.
"Gah! Lee! Can't you be excited like Gaara and stop attemptin' to deafen me?" A snacking brunette with red tattooed swirls on his cheeks groaned from beside the bushy browed male.
"I agree with him, Choji I mean. You are fairly loud." Another male with dark sunglasses and a grey jacket remarked oddly.
"I'm just showin' the extra excitement that you so seriously lack Shino, where's your youthful pride at?" Lee, once again, shouted and shook the hooded male by the shoulders.
"Le-Lee, calm down okay?" A lavender eyed girl with purplish-raven hair piped, and then glanced at Naruto with a small smile, "So it looks like you'll be my boss for a w-while." She mentioned both stuttering and blushing slightly. 'I'm happy for him.' She mentally told herself.
"Hahah, more or less Hinata, but Kyuu will still be in charge of everyone." Naruto laughed and looked at a bored looking Sasuke, "Hey, teme you could be a little excited for me ya know." He sulked slightly, 'Sheesh, he's always keepin' to himself when we're around others.' The blonde grumbled mentally.
"Hn," The short haired raven smirked and turned to slightly bored looking raven, "Shika, is he like this on the job as well?" Sasuke continued and questioned the pineapple haired male, who was slumped in his seat seeming to have already guessed what he missed while he was asleep.
"Yes, it's too troublesome if ya ask me." Shikamaru sighed and tilted his head back, letting it hang over the back of his chair.
"I'm not lookin' forward to that then." Sasuke sighed.
"Huh, what're you talkin' about?" Naruto raised his eyebrow at the pale raven.
"I mean, that soon we'll be workin' together at the hospital." Sasuke smirked and turned to face a wide eyed blonde.
"Are you serious Sasuke?" Sakura squealed, cutting the tanned male off, as he opened his mouth to reply.
"Yep." The pale raven confirmed with a smirk.
"This is great! Now the majority of us will be workin' together!" Ino exclaimed happily as Naruto once again tried to speak.
"Whoa whoa whoa, how- I mean, when did you find this out?" Naruto finally said after being cut off twice.
"My mother told me this mornin' and that your mother apparently meant to surprise me with the job, though it's only temp." The pale male explained and shook his head at the successful attempt of the blondes' mother.
"This is too awesome! Temp or not, when do you start?" The blue eyed male demanded, 'Oh mom, I so freakin' love you for this!' he inwardly cheered.
"Day after tomorrow and you better not cause me any trouble either dobe." Sasuke informed him and the other listeners, then warned him subtly.
Just then, before anyone could say anything else, the door to the classroom opened to reveal a silver haired man, who had a mask covering the majority of his face, leaving only his eyes visible. The man's hair would've more than likely reach past his shoulder, if it weren't somehow defying the laws of gravity and gathered on the top of his head and sloping slightly to the left. As the silver haired man made his way to the desk at the front of the class, it was also a miracle he didn't trip or bump into anything, seeing as he had his nose buried in a very un-classroom friendly book and not seeming to notice the class full of students watching him with aggravated expression. Only once he was finally at his desk, did he snapped the dirty book closed and looked up at the class blinking twice as though he was surprised to see them there.
"Ah… 'Morning, you're all early." The silver haired teacher commented.
"We're not early Kakashi, you're late!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Huh, really? Well, as it happened my watch broke, so-" Kakashi began to make-up an obvious lie, before he was cut off.
"Oh puh-leaze, if you're gonna lie you should at least make it a good one. Your watch broke? What about your cell? Huh?" Kiba challenged and grinned at the stoic looking professor.
"And your car has a clock as well, so no more excuses!" Sakura added and rubbed her temples, 'Gosh, this class is givin' me a migraine already.' She inwardly groaned.
"Hahah, touché, now let's begin," Kakashi chuckled, then flicked off the lights and beeped on the overhead projector, "Alright, first off, in case you all don't know, I'll briefly explain what Criminology is, it's the scientific study of the nature, extent, causes, and control of criminal behavior in both the individual and in society. Now, can anyone tell me what interdisciplinary field Criminology belongs in?" He questioned and leaned against the podium.
"It belongs in the behavioral sciences field, drawing especially upon the research of sociologists, particularly in the sociology of deviance and social anthropologists, as well as on writings in law." Gaara answered dully, mostly because Kakashi was staring right at him.
"Very good Gaara, can someone else state which types of researches are included in criminology... Kiba?" The silver haired professor asked the slit eyed brunette.
"Uhh, it includes the incidence, forms, causes and consequences of crime, as well as social and governmental regulations and reactions to crime…." Kiba stated in a voice that sounded as if he was hoping he was right. 'I think… ugh, should'a reviewed last years' notes.' He continued in thought.
"That's right…. these are the things we will be focusing on for the next month or so in this class. I suggest that you all go out and purchase the textbook for this class if you haven't already, otherwise… you'll all fail." Kakashi warned in a final tone.
The class continued on for two and a half hours like this, with Kakashi questioning more than actually lecturing the whole class, and occasionally giving what Choji deemed as 'Snack Breaks'. Though all the masked teacher did was open his smutty book back up and get carried away during these breaks, until someone finally called his attention back to reality. However, during the last half hour of class, he decided to ask questions that hardly anyone knew or could only be found in the textbook, which, since it was the first day of class, no one had bothered to buy or bring. To say the class was irritated with the silver haired man was an understatement, though thankfully they were only somewhat easy to remember due to the fact that they were taught in previous classes.
"Now before I end the class, I have a few more questions I want answers to…. What are the theoretical perspectives used in criminology… Sasuke?" Kakashi asked a bored looking Uchiha.
"Some perspectives include psychoanalysis, functionalism, interactionism, Marxism, econometrics, systems theory, postmodernism, with a few others as well." Sasuke named with perfect articulation and correctness. 'That was too easy.' He inwardly smirked.
"Correct, hmmm, I can see the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree in the Uchiha house," Kakashi said, his eyes squinting slightly, the only proof that he was smiling, "Alright, in contrast to those perspectives, Naruto, what section are social structure theories applied to?" He questioned a currently yawning blonde.
"Ugh, actually it's applied to a variety of approaches within criminology in particular and in sociology more generally as a conflict theory or structural conflict perspective in sociology and sociology of crime. You can't get me with a trick question Kakashi." Naruto practically groaned out, 'Man, I'm so tired!' he exasperated mentally.
"Hahah, so it seems, just making sure you're awake… unlike Shikamaru," Kakashi laughed, then turned his attention to a napping Nara, "Mr. Nara, what does social disorganization theory postulate?" The silver haired teacher questioned as he stood beside the apparently sleeping raven.
"It postulates that neighborhoods plagued with poverty and economic deprivation tend to experience high rates of population turnover. Such neighborhoods also tend to have high population heterogeneity. With a high turnover, informal social structure often fails to develop, which in turn makes it difficult to maintain social order in a community." Shikamaru answered clearly, and dully, even with his head still down on the desk. He obviously wasn't as asleep as the others thought.
"Good to see you're actually awake, and you're precisely correct none the less." Kakashi smacked Shika on his back and walked towards the podium, "Now, that's it for today's lesson, I want all of you to grab the syllabus from the table beside the door as you leave. And do not come to the next class without the required textbook." He continued as he dismissed the class. With that being said, the group of friends and other students quickly made their way out of the class, not forgetting to pick up a copy of said syllabus, and headed for the staircase knowing that they all wouldn't fit into the elevator and that it wouldn't get them away from the damn near three hour long class quick enough. However, most of them were still nowhere near finished with classes for the day and with that thought in mind, they all sighed heavily as they finally walked out of the building.
AN: Hey! So... How was it? Did you like the little pepper I stuck in there? But wait! Don't get mad at Kiba for depriving you all of the lemony goodness that you are waiting for, You guys will have THAT VERY soon... heheh! Hmm, what else? I'll mention the numbering in the next "AN", and I explained my actions for the most part... Oh! If you pay attention you might be able to tell who dated who in the previous years! I will mention those very later on in the story, but I will throw hints in every now and again. So with that said, see you all next time! Happy reading! Mata ne! :)
AN2: Whew! Another one down, Woop-ie! Okay, now for the numberings, (1) the house is actually Itachi and Kyuubi's fraternity house, I'm sure some of you know what that is. What else? Oh, and as you may have noticed, everyone has a particular ringtone that I thought would suit them or their situations! But don't worry, by the time this story reaches a double numbered chapter everyone's ringtone will have been played! Ah! And the cars… I think you can tell how much I love them and you will also read the mentioning's of the other characters cars as well, all of which are personal favorites of mine and it will range from most liked to least like depending on the character and the number of scenes they have in this story. And finally, the criminology class, yeah, all I can say is that the internet and Wikipedia are seriously great inventions! I am a journalism major, main focus on editing books, with a Japanese linguistics minor. So I know close to nothing about criminal anything! Well, with all that said, I will see you next time! Ja ne!
Please note: Kojika Nara, Suna Akurei, Hyūga Hisae© are mine, well my versions of Neji, Hinata and Gaara's parents names, as well as Shikamaru's sister's name. But mine none the less.
