Thanks to all of you who have reveiwed, favorited, and added the story to your alert. Makes me feel special that someone is actually enjoying and reading what I write :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto -sniffle- Don't rub it in.
This chapter is the shortest one so far and it was a bitch to write. A very big bitch. A very bitchy very big bitch. And it's more so a filler chapter, if anything, so...heh heh.
After reading I hope you don't want to come after me with pitch forks :3
And i still have no beta so please put up with horrible grammatical errors. I did not edit this either because I was too lazy…i mean busy. But if anyone is willing to be my beta, please message me :]
Enjoy ;]
Kiba slammed his palms down on the mahogany desk before him, "Why the hell do we have ta babysit brats from Konoha?"
"It's more like they're babysitting you with the way you're acting," said the woman sitting behind said desk. "Now shut up and sit down,"
Reluctantly, the brunette plopped down into his seat beside Gaara, muttering a string of swear words under his breath, mixed in with 'cranky', 'old ladies', and 'menopause'.
Tsunade turned her narrowed honey brown eyes on the five teens who sat before her—all of whom were making an effort to avoid her gaze. She scrutinized each of them cautiously before finally speaking, each word enunciated carefully with a barely suppressed anger, "What…the hell…was that?"
Silence.
"Don't any of you try to play dumb, you know exactly what I'm talking about! Do you want ruin this school's reputation?"
"Since when do you care about reputations?" said Naruto—now in normal (for his gender) clothes. "And it's not like this school has a good one…"
"And it was you who punched the other principal," added Gaara.
Haku nodded his consent, "He's got a point."
Tsunade resisted the urge to punch the nearest object as she thought back to the white-haired man, "He had it coming…Anyways, you five were late to the assembly,"
"So were you," retorted Sai.
Tsunade glowered at the dark-haired teen. After an indecisive moment, she let out a heavy sigh, "Whatever. Fine. Okay. You're off the hook this time,"
She reached down into one of the drawers of her desk, pulling out a bottle of sake and a small cup. "Anyways, each of you will be showing around a student, just like everyone else, and that student will be your roommate,"
Kiba got to his feet and slammed his hands down on the desk once more, "What? We have ta share rooms with them too?"
"If you were listening earlier during the entrance ceremony you would've known that already. Now shut up and sit down," growled Tsunade, pouring another cup of Sake—the first having been thrown back during Kiba's outburst. "You are to show your roommate around the school, answer any of their questions, and assist them in any way possible. On top of that, other students will go to you five if they have any issues, so don't you go messing it up. And don't make asses of yourselves, or this school, got it?"
"I don't see why you're taking this so seriously," commented Naruto, pouting as he thought of all the time that would be wasted 'helping' the Konoha students.
"I'm not gonna lose against that old toad, my school will not lose to his," Tsunade muttered, throwing her head back and emptying the contents of the cup. "The Konoha brats are already in the dorms getting unpacked, so start the tour or introduction or whatever the hell else you do when you get back," she finished, her last words slurred.
"Who's our roommate?" asked Haku.
The blonde principal abandoned the cup and took a long swig from the sake bottle, waving them off lazily with a hand.
With that, the five were dismissed, leaving their principal to get drunk—well more than she already was—and be found passed out hours later by Shizune.
-.-.-.-
"Yo, Naru, didn't you live in Konoha before you came here?" Kiba asked as the five teens walked down the hallway that lead to their dorm buildings.
"Yeah," The blonde answered quickly, not wanting to talk about the years he spent in Konoha. For the most part, he'd managed to not think about Konoha, because thinking about Konoha always lead to thinking about 'him', and that was something Naruto did not want to do. Yeah, that would prove to be damned hard considering Konoha High had just merged with Gensoka High, and that 'he' would be attending Gensoka from today onward. But damn it all to hell he would try!
"And I'm glad you did come here, Naruto-chan," said Sai, wrapping an arm around the blonde's shoulder while slipping a pale hand under his loose t-shirt.
Said blonde shoved him away roughly, knowing that if he didn't Sai wouldn't hesitate to all but rape him in the middle of the hallway, "Get away from me you sex offender,"
The dark-haired teen, however, was not one to give up so easily. Once more, he slunk up behind Naruto, only to be pulled—more like yanked—back by an irritated redhead, "Hands off,"
"Don't get mad at me just because you're sexually frustrated," said Sai, forcing himself out of Gaara's grasp.
Haku sighed, "Everything you say always relates to sex in some way or another,"
"That's because I can actually get some," he smiled.
"Trying to imply something?" Haku's dark brown eyes hardened as he forced himself to keep a small smile on his face.
Naruto then cleared his throat, interrupting the two before Sai could make a comment about Haku's 'femininity' and Haku could take about his acupuncture needles. He always carried them around for some reason. Once Kiba had asked him if he wanted to be an acupuncturist 'or something' when he was older, but Haku had just answered with a simple 'no' and a morbid smile. He hadn't offered any further explanation and, really, no one wanted to know.
"So…what do you think our roommates are going to be like?" The blonde asked, willing to do anything to change the subject.
"Probably gonna be a prick," grumbled Kiba.
"And why do you hate Konoha so much?" inquired Naruto.
"No reason."
Gaara raised a non-existent eyebrow, "You hate Konoha for absolutely no reason?"
"Well they're a buncha stuck-up pricks,"
"Yo, hi," the blonde said, waving his hand slightly. "Uzumaki Naruto, used to live in Konoha, home of the stuck-up pricks,"
"But ya came here, so yer good," Kiba grinned.
Naruto rolled his eyes. Having finally reached the dorms, he stopped in front of his dorm room. He turned towards his friends, dramatically giving them a military salute as Sai and Haku climbed the stairs to their dorms on the floor above, and Gaara and Kiba stood before their own dorm rooms on the opposite side of the hall. Facing the wooden door of his room once more, Naruto took a deep breath. It really wasn't that big of a deal, getting a roommate, as long as it wasn't—in words of Kiba—some 'stuck-up prick'. Or 'him'—who succeeded 'stuck-up prick'-hood. But the chances of that, thankfully, were very small.
Tan hand slowly turned the brass doorknob and pushed the door open. The blonde held his breathe as he took in the sight of the teen before him. Pale skin, dark hair, eyes that were unique and blessed upon only those within the highly-ranked family, and the superior air that surrounded him.
.. I hate hate hate it. I can't say it enough. I hated writing it. Hated the dialogue, and hated the humor. The only thing that kept me writing it was thinking that after I was done writing it, I would get to write chapter 4. And I did get to write the fourth chapter. And I love it, but you'll have to wait a bit for me to put it up ;3
Well I hoped you enjoyed this chappy and I hope you like this ficcage thus far. And if ya did, drop me a line :]
Ja ne.
