1"Good morning Sasuke," Sakura murmured, sitting next to the Uchiha on the couch.
"Hn," he replied, not taking his eyes off the news.
She blinked, and then turned her own gaze onto the television.
Suddenly, a large sheet of rain rammed into the window, making nearly all nine occupants jump.
"Geez," Sasuki muttered, annoyed by being startled.
Everyone was fully greeted by the storm as the door flung open to reveal one pissed Aleu Toumoku.
Sasuki blinked, and then bit her lip to keep from laughing.
"What the hell?" Shikamaru looked her over; she was soaked.
Aleu ignored the question and thudded up the stairs to change into dry clothes.
School
"Pay attention!" Sasuki hissed in the back of the class, having just received a death glare from the other Uchiha. She'd been watching him watch Aleu sleep, and was ticked that Aleu was getting his attention, so she had thrown a ball of notebook paper
at him. Plus, she wanted to piss him off, not even close to forgetting the battle they'd fought last night.
Sasuke growled and grabbed the wad of paper, whipping it at the snoozing girl. It landed in the crook of her arm after bouncing off of her head. Aleu sat up, watching the crinkled sheet roll to the floor because of her movement.
Without a glance to Sasuke, she leaned back, eyes on the teacher.
Detention
"Shikamaru, do something, dammit!" Tsunade yelled. An annoyed yet stubborn boy stuck his tongue out at the principle.
"I am,"
Tsunade growled and balled her fists.
"Something productive!"
"I am,"
"DAMN IT, WRITE!"
"I am,"
She blinked, then snarled. "Really?" she asked sarcastically.
Shikamaru tapped his head. "With my mental pencil,"
Sasuki grinned and bent down over her paper to conceal a snicker.
Sasuke was tapping his pencil continuously against the desktop, greatly annoyed by the lack of silence. The Uchiha couldn't work with noise around.
His essay was a complete mess, his anger with Sakura long gone, giving him no reason for being late. What the hell did she expect to get in these papers? Sasuke wasn't up to brown nosing, and couldn't think of anything else, so he had been writing down fragments of spare thoughts.
Sasuki, plenty of anger to burn, was on her fifty-fifth page. Now, not only was Aleu a victim, but Sasuke too.
The others, excluding Shikamaru who was still arguing with Tsunade, were doing the best they could, though struggling greatly, ideas exhausted.
Home
"Home!" Naruto shouted as he crossed the threshold tailed by the others, as though the only occupant cared.
Aleu was stretched out on the couch, asleep, the same as they'd found her the first time they had come back from detention, though on her side.
Sasuke, used to this already, tickled her side.
Aleu, in response, curled up, giving him ample space to sit.
He took the opportunity to do so, picking up the remote and turning on the tv in the process.
Sasuki snarled and crossed in front of him purposely, stomping up the stairs. Her brother ignored her.
The others, shedding their school equipment, glanced at each other, the only one oblivious to the tension was Sleeping Beauty.
Hours Later
"Stop reading," Naruto demanded, glaring at the now awake Toumoku.
Aleu gave him a 'and who the hell do you think you are?' look with a, "Fuck you,"
The boy scowled.
"Leave her alone," Tenten muttered, barely attached to the scene, more attention focused on the television.
Aleu snorted. "Better than that. At least I'm actually doing something," She was getting sick with how everyone just watch tv all afternoon.
That got Tenten's attention. With a scowl matching Naruto's, she turned her head towards the other girl. "I was defending you,"
"I don't need you to,"
Aleu dog-eared the book and went up stairs.
Tenten scoffed, "What the hells her damage?"
"Leave her alone," chorused the other six people.
Sasuki, who had been exiting her room, narrowed her eyes then backed up and closed the door.
Aleu watched with a monotonous expression, already bored with Sasuki's sudden attitude.
She entered her own room and rolled onto the bed.
Well, Naruto had succeeded. Now, she didn't feel like reading. What else was there to do? Nothing, that she could think of. Aleu sighed and rolled onto her side facing the window, the book slipping off the side of her bed and falling open on the floor.
She sighed heavily, her eyelids sliding closed.
