This Really, REALLY Sucks.
Chapter Two – The Step-Brothers.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Sakura, Ten Ten and Moegi were now walking home from school. Sakura glared straight ahead of her. She had just received her third detention that week from her art teacher, for drawing violent images.
"I wonder if it's legal to give detentions just for the violent images I draw?" Sakura thought to herself. Ten Ten had of course heard about it.
"Sakura, maybe you should just draw bunnies and make your art teacher happy." Ten Ten had stated that lunchtime with a huge grin on her face. Sakura glared. She was glad this was the last week before summer. Of course with the way her mother had been talking about moving, summer didn't look like it was going to be much fun either. They walked up their street, to see a nice looking, red Mercedes parked in front of their house. They all knew that this was Iruka's car. The three traipsed into the house and saw Iruka and Kimiko sat on the sofa, talking quietly. They looked up as soon as Sakura, Ten Ten and Moegi stepped into the house.
"Hi girls." Kimiko said cheerfully. The three walked into the small front room, only to see two boys sat on the other sofa. Their eyes widened as they all saw each other.
"Right. Sakura, Ten Ten, Moegi, these are Iruka's two sons, Naruto and Konohamaru." Kimiko stated cheerfully.
The girls were irritated beyond repair. Not only were they going to be stuck living in a new home, but they were going to have step-brothers.
"Hi!" Konohamaru said. He looked to be about the same age as Moegi and his brown hair was pulled into an Iruka-like ponytail. He wore a yellow t-shirt, grey shorts and white trainers.
"Hi." Moegi said quietly. Naruto was far less quiet then Konohamaru.
"Hi Sakura-Chan, Ten Ten-Chan, Moegi-Chan." Naruto yelled. He was wearing black jeans, a dark blue t-shirt, blue trainers and a hideously orange jacket (A/N: Just imagine Naruto's jacket before Shipuuden) his blonde hair was horribly messy and spiked up in several directions. Sakura glared, Ten Ten blinked and Moegi smiled.
"Don't worry about living with us. You'll get your own rooms anyways." Naruto said happily.
"Naruto-Nii chan is really noisy but I'm sure you'll get used to him. Usually Ramen shuts him up." Konohamaru added in. A cheeky grin spread across his face. Naruto also grinned. Sakura blinked and then looked at her mother.
"I'm going to get changed out of my uniform." Sakura said quietly. Ten Ten nodded, and followed Sakura out of the room before Kimiko could say a word. Moegi also ran up the stairs after her older sister and cousin.
"Are they Okay?" Naruto asked curiously. "Sure they are." Kimiko said cheerfully.
"I don't think they're happy at all." Konohamaru whispered to Naruto.

Sakura glared as she looked through her clothes. She wanted to find the most off-putting outfit she possibly could. Ten Ten just shook her head and grabbed her usual cropped blue jeans and rose-pink, long-sleeved, mandarin top. She slipped on a pair of pink trainers and waited for Sakura to find something to wear whilst the other teen glared and muttered curses under her breath. She finally pulled out a black jean skirt, black, leather, knee-high boots, black, netted tights and a black t-shirt with My Chemical Romance, in white, on it, and a red rose, dripping blood. Quickly pulling these items on, Sakura smirked in the mirror.
Ten Ten's eyes went wide.
"Your mom is going to kill you. That and I didn't know you owned black, netted tights. You're becoming more of a Goth every day." Ten Ten stated.
"I have to hide anything black from my mother. She is guaranteed to get rid of it if I don't." Sakura said. She laughed a little, and Ten Ten giggled slightly. They heard a knock on the door. It was three light raps.
"Come in Moegi." Sakura called. The younger girl came in dressed in a pink t-shirt, denim dungarees and a pair of white trainers.
"Are you two ready to go downstairs? I don't want to go by myself." Moegi said quietly. Sakura nodded, and so did Ten Ten.
"Sure we're ready Moegi-Chan." Ten Ten replied. The three left the small room and went downstairs. Iruka and Kimiko looked to still be talking about something, Kimiko giggling every so often, and the two boys looked very bored. Naruto grinned as the three girls walked into the room.
"Hey Sakura-Chan, Ten Ten-Chan, Moegi-Chan, do you want to show us where the nearest Ramen stand is?" Naruto yelled. Sakura blinked, a battle going on with her inner self.
(You can get away from that lovey dovey shit Sakura. Go for it!)
"Shut up! I don't want to be chummy with that twerp!"
(Yeah but if his dad is marrying your mom you're going to HAVE to get used to the twerp anyway)
"No I won't!"
(I'm your inner self so why are you arguing with me?)
"Because you're wrong?"
(How can I be wrong when I'm your inner self?)
"…"
(Didn't think you'd have an answer.)
"Shut up!"
(Then try and be friends with the twerps)
"Why?"
(Because you WILL have to live with them. If you're not even friends with them it's going to be VERY hard)
"So I like life hard. I live with my mother right?"
(Yeah but they know where you're gonna be living and everyone you're gonna go to school with. They may be twerps but they're nice twerps. What's the point of hating them? It's not their fault you have to move)
"You have a point there…"
(Of course I do. So you're gonna be nice to the twerps?)
"Might as well give it a try. After all I can be nice to Ten Ten and Moegi."
(That's the spirit)
Then of course Sakura's inner-self disappeared. Sakura looked at Naruto.
"We'll pay for you guys." Naruto said cheerfully. Sakura shook her head in amusement.
"Okay we'll show you where the nearest Ramen place is. Mom we're going out to show Naruto and Konohamaru where the nearest Ramen place is." Sakura said. Kimiko smiled.
"Of course go ahead. It's nice for you all to get along." Kimiko said.
"Sure have fun kids." Iruka said. Sakura gave a small smile.
"We will." Sakura said quietly.

-=-Ramen Place-=-
The group were sat in a booth at the local Ramen place, known as Shizuki's, enjoying bowls of the oh-so-great substance. Naruto, as the girls found out quickly, was a seriously fast eater. By the time anyone had finished their first bowl, Naruto was already eating his fifth. Sakura was eating her bowl of shrimp and chicken ramen quite happily. Ten Ten was eating a prawn and beef ramen. Moegi was eating a menma ramen and Konohamaru and Naruto were eating Miso pork ramen.
"It's really quiet in Konoha." Konohamaru said.
"Really?" Ten Ten asked.
"Yeah. We have like three schools in the whole village. One for kids aged six to twelve, one for kids aged twelve to eighteen and one for aged eighteen to twenty-one." Naruto replied.
"What are the uniforms like?" Sakura asked quietly.
"We don't wear uniforms." Naruto answered happily.
"Are you serious?" Ten Ten questioned.
"Yeap. No uniforms we wear what we want to wear at school." Konohamaru replied cheerfully. Sakura couldn't believe her ears.
"Wait so you can wear anything you want at school and not get into trouble for it?" Sakura asked.
"Yeap! So long as it's not next-to-nothing strips of cloth you're cool." Naruto said. Sakura blinked to herself.
"Maybe a new school won't be so bad after all…"

O.K. just for reference.
Menma is a type of fish used in a miso ramen.
The top that Ten Ten wears in both the Naruto Series and the Naruto Shipuuden series are classed as Mandarin style where I come from. If you know of any other name for the style of top, do feel free to tell me.
Also I have decided that Sakura is going to be a rebellious teen. It runs in with my plot. But she is NOT going to be a complete bitch.
If there are anymore questions I will try to answer them as quickly as possible by either PMing reviews or by putting the answers at the end or beginning of the next chapter. Thanks again for your time. Please R&R and I hope you liked this chapter. See ya soon.
