Sasuke's Pov
While walking to his first period class Sasuke thought silently to himself. You know, the usual. About his homework, soccer, his job, his future, the meaning of life; yeah, the usual. Why does he waste his time to think about all that, he doesn't know. Its not like he was going to fail highschool or anything. He was a prodigy and he could pass all these stupid classes with his eyes closed. Not only that but almost all the female teachers that were the ages of twenty-three to twenty-nine thought he was quite attrative for his age, even if they'll never admit it. None of the male teachers; except a few, could care less about him. Infact some of them had it out for the heir because he was labled as a trouble making smart ass.
A smart ass; true.
A trouble maker; so over rated.
Those teachers just don't see that being a rich, smart heir can be so overpowering to his youth. The media, the tabloids, the pressure; sometime the boy just needed to cut loose for his own sake. Thats where his friends help him out the most. The five of them; mostly him, Naruto, and Kiba, and along with the Orange Leaf crew were know to pull some of the most mastered-mind, notorious, full proof, and halirous pranks that has ever graced their school. From their very first prank of putting lite black cat firecrackers in the girl's swim team locker room after one of their swim meets; which got them ten days of morning detentions and campus trash pick up for two weeks, to their finally prank of their freashman year of putting P.E. intructor Anko-sempai's car on the school's roof... During school!!! No one knows how in the hell they pulled that one off but Anko-sama was pissed to no end! Noone messes with Anko-sama!! Shes a bad ass teacher and getting on her bad side was hell!! Even if there was no 'evidence' that they done it; none of the less to do it during school hours, the young P.E. instuctor just knew they had to have done it by the way all of them had smiled when the news got around the school. So, all of them; including Shikamaru and Shino, were suspended from school for two weeks! No qestions!!!
Not like that was a set back for them; infact they ended up causing more havoc outside of school that they were literaly thrown back in to school by their parents!!!! Sasuke was one of the few that went back willingly when his social worker/gaurdian Kakashi Hatake; who is also his literture teacher, ask/ordered him to get his ass back in school because the poor man was tired of getting unpleasant phone calls of him not doing his job of keeping the Uchiha boy in check. And the day they finally got back into school something unheared of happened. All of that years senior class went up to them and started to cheer!! They didn't know why but when seniors go and celebrate freashmen then you know they done something extravagant!!
Yes, Sasuke was apart of that and he was somewhat proud of himself that people were beginning to see that there was another side to him other than his sotic self. Anyone with two eyes can tell he doesn't like to be babied or giving special treatment when hes supposed to be respossible for his actions like his friends and so he was glad he was giving for the first time the same punishment like them as well.
He walked into his first period classroom.
Unlike most of his classmates that remanded standing, talking around the room Sasuke made his way passed everyone and took the liberty of ploping down in his respecful seat in the front of the classroom. Noone dared to seat in 'his' seat unless you wanted to be confronted with his pissy morning additude or be ready to be smashed to bites by his annoying fan girls. As he stretched his upper body while throwing his head back letting out a silent yawn, he could hear his fan girls screaming in awe of him who were nearby and could feel the agressive glares from all his male pupils that dispised him in every direction. He didn't care for neither as he heared the faint sound of the final bell ranged throughout the building. He was used to the stares of admiristion and lust and the glares of envy and hate.
Even if he was a mere sphomore anyone would admit that he was the most popular, richest, and hottest guy in school. It was only natural that all eyes were on him. Well, almost all eyes...
'Except her...'
With that his eyes shown dull as he stared off into space but as fast as it came he could see a flash of long midnight hair sway rapidly at the edge of his vision. That hair only belonged to one person he has ever seen and she just happened to be in his class. The same person that was labled his enime from the moment she were born. The same person that he was taught to hate by his family for as long as he could remember. The same person that he; unknown to other people, has refrered to as the 'Hyuuga bitch' for years...
..Hinata Hyuuga.
He couldn't stand her for some reason. Infact, he hated everything about her. He couldn't stand to look at her, think about her, hear her voice, or to even know that she was in the same room as him!! Yet no matter how much he tried; to his own displeasure, he would somehow catch sight of her everyday even if he wasn't looking for her. Her round, pale aliac eyes, her healthy pale skin that held no blimishes, her full soft pink lips that he beg to kiss without knowing, and those beautiful long midnight locks of hers that would dance eligantly around her lower back as if tauting his every being. He would find himself thinking about her at the dead of night when he had answered all of the questions that he was confronted with and when his mind goes blank the first thing to pop up would be her. Her voice would mess with his mind as if too innocent and angelistic to be real; fake yet true at the same time. Even when shes within the same perimeter as him he somehow can't bring himself to speak to her. He felt infuriated by her, even yering for her gentle glances.
Yes, he hated her with every fiber of himself. Not only because she was his true enime, not only because she taunts him and gives him unwanted lust for her, but because out of all the girls in the world she was the only one he can't have. And that; my friends, bruises his ego most of all.
Pure irony; indeed.
But the Uchiha heir has to think reasonable about it. If they were to have any type of relation to each other whatsoever that would surely be catstrophic on his part. The last thing he needs is to have an army of Hyuugas ready to kill his ass if Ms. little heiress suddenly gets the backbone to want him dead. Hyuugas and Uchihas are like vinegar and oil; they don't mix. He was only one man and besides, Sasuke isn't nessasarily on Hiashi Hyuuga's good side either since eight years ago after his families massacure.
Flash back
March 21; five days after the Uchiha Massacure
"This is Yoshi Kyamichi and I'm here reporting live infront of the Uchiha Industral Company Building on behafe of the tradgic mass murder of almost the intire Uchiha family that took place only a matter of five days ago at the Uchiha household. The murderer of this horrific event belongs to sadly one of the Uchiha's own family members; Itachi Uchiha, eldest son of business owner Fugaku Uchiha, who even though is only considered a minor of the age of 13 is charged with intended man slaughter and was held at a correctional facility for minors till earily Tuesday night broke out and is still at large. Even though police say the young boy isn't armed with weapons he is still a potenial danger to all and might have developed servere mental trauma recently. If you have sighted or have any information on Itachi Uchiha's where abouts please contact police imediently."
"Now back to whats taking place not too far from me is an ever growing crowd of people who are waiting for the arrival of the only Uchiha surviver that today will be pronouced as the only heir of the Uchiha family fortune since the missing of his older brother. They; and other business owers of major business names that belong to Konoha's Industral dirstrict; including the Uchiha's top busniess rival Hiashi Hyuuga himself, are also gathered here to get word of what will become of the Uchiha company with its owner gone and what dire decissions will Fugaku Uchiha's youngest son; Sasuke Uchiha, will make that might just determine the very future of the Uchiha Company."
Reporters, news crews, and crowds of people are all gathered around the Uchiha Industral Building that lays within the main street of the Industral District of Konoha; not too far down the road from the Hyuuga Industral Building. A lone black car is parked on the street infront of the building which is surrounded by paparazzi and reporters that desperatly want the person within the car to emerge from it. Two bodygaurds dressed in all black suits with dark shade sunglasses and white ear peices emerge from the driver and passenger sits of the car, both push through the crowd while they head to the car door facing the building. While one bodygaurd tells the crowd to step back the other one opens the door and the first to get out was a young man in his earily twenties. This man had sliver hair that stuck up to one side, a large scar over his left eye that remained closed and a white allergent mask that covered up hafe of his young face. Sporting the normal black suit with a navy blue tie he turns on the heels of his matching black shoes and waits paiently for someone else to step out.
The crowd starts to go crazy with paparazzi taking pictures a mile a minute and reporter desperatly trying to get passed the gaurds when a small, adorible, yet angry looking eight year old boy, wearing regular cloths with colbalt hair and dark charcoal eyes steps out into the crowd. At that moment the crowd loses their minds.
"Uchiha-san!! How do you feel about having the lifes of your family taking by the hands of your older brother??!!!"
"Sasuke Uchiha-san!! What are your dessions on the future of your families company?!!"
"Will you demand justice for your brother Itachi if he is ever found?!"
"What will you do now that you lost your family?! Will you go on living normally like nothing happened or will we see a change in the future?!!!"
"Sasuke-san, what will you do if you are ever confronted with your brother Itachi again??!! What will we expect from you??!!"
"Please, thats enough questions for now. Please give him some room." says the young man with the sliver hair.
"And what relations do you have with the Uchiha heir?!!"
"Are you here exspecially to support Uchiha-san during this event?!!"
"Please tell me your name!!!!"
At this point the sliver haired man; with the help of both body gaurds, has to drag the miniture Sasuke into the building where only a few people have access to enter at the moment. Since mostly all employees were temperally off duty because of the incident the only people who were in the building were some of the employees who decided to come anyway and most were the other business owners that were also waiting outside that were let in. All news crew and reporters were not to be let in under no cercustaces.
Well most...
As Sasuke and the other three men walked in they notice that all of the other owners were whispering amougst themselfs and there was only one group that stayed far away from the others. It just happened to be the Hyuuga party and it seemed that they were; at the moment, being harassed by a news reporter and her camera man who somehow gotten passed sercurity. Thats was the very first time Sasuke had ever seen Hiashi Hyuuga in real life; the very first time he saw another mafia boss in person other than his own father.
'So thats the bastard I have to go up against; goodie.' Little Sasuke said sarcasticly to himself.
"Kakashi-san, what do we do now till the meeting starts?" questioned the eight year old. At that statment the sliver hair man peered down at him but this time with both eyes open reviling his blood red left eye. "You shouldn't call me by my first name in public, Sasuke-kun..." Kakashi said in a hushed voice. Sasuke wasn't phased by the sight of his eye like other people would be; he had the same 'unique' eye condition in his left eye as him and the rest of his deceaced family. When Sasuke turned away and looked towards where Hiashi and his group was Kakashi; even if you couldn't tell, gave a heartful grin to the young heir. "Well I guess this is a good time for you to mingle with your enime!" Kakashi said cheerfully. At that Sasuke wiped his head back to the man with a frightful look gracing his young and now flushed face; making him look twice adorible than he already was.
"W-what!! Wait! I...-"
"To late to plead!! Mind as well start them out young!!"
Kakashi practically pushed a relucant Sasuke towards his doom as the two silent body gaurds just trail close behind him. At that point Sasuke felt like he was going to die.
'Hes alot taller than I thought he would be! Crap!!' he screamed in his head as they got closer. It got even worst when the other business owers stopped what they were doing to look at them approuching the Hyuugas. He look at Hiashi's face that was sporting a slight irritated scowl that was mostly brought on by the talkitive new reporter who seemed to not have noticed it and continued to talk. From the distance they were now they could zoom in one the slight one-sided coversation between Hiashi and the reporter.
"So tell me, Hyuuga-sama! What are your feelings about losing your life time rival Fugaku Uchiha-sama?!" said the percky reporter with a smile.
Hiashi closed his eyes in a thinking manner and allowed a smirk creap upon his face as he answered one of the girls question for once that evening. "I have to admit I'm going to miss arguing with him after so many years; gonna miss him. Its going to be hard trying to find someone that could reach his level of rivalry again..." He ended letting his words fade as he opened his ghostly white eyes again. Sasuke; who was still being draged towards them let out a unaudible scoff.
'Pfft! Why am I panicing so much?!! I can tell now that hes nothing but a prick by the way he talked about my father like his death was casual!' They got dangerously closer. 'And why is he so damn proud?! Hes only one man...a very tall...scary man with freakish white eyes.. Oh Kami!! I need to get out of here!!!' Unfortuantly, Sasuke thought about his attempt to excape a little too late as Kakashi pushed him forward roughly, almost making him fall over infront of Hiashi and the other Hyuugas. Sasuke regained his conposure, face scarlet red making him look like the cutest little cherry inpersonation you'll ever see. This only caught the eye of Hiashi for a second as he gave his attention back to the woman infront of him. The reporter; on the other hand, hadn't even notice Sasuke's ungracful presences.
"Are you at all concerned about Sasuke Uchiha and his future descessions of him going in the Uchiha family business against you tonight?"
"Please, not the least. His just a little boy and all thats just happened to him is most likely too overwhealming for him so I wouldn't be surprised if he just gave it all up tonight. Besides, by the looks of it his as old as my eldest daughter right now. I highly don't see him at all of a threat to me."
This made the little Sasuke's blood boil despite the fact that he was still thembling from the Hyuuga man's presences. He already made up his mind that he was going to take his father's place when he gets older so he had his mind set but so he didn't need someone to up a assume his future plans in such a knowing way. But he had to admit that he was absolutely confused about what to do at this very moment. Then, as if a light of hope Sasuke remembered what his father always told him about losing his composure; 'When a Uchiha is confront by someone who makes them uncertain by acting superior, do what a Uchiha would do,...'
The reporter turned her gaze slightly to her left and couldn't help to let out a loud sqweal when she caught eye of the young Uchiha boy in deep thought. Infact, the woman nearly bounced away from Hiashi and poped right infront of Sasuke; startling the poor buy sceneless.
"Hello!! You must be the little man of the hour; Sasuke Uchiha!!! I'm Yoshi Kyamichi and I-"
"Weren't you all the way outside a minute ago?" One of Sasuke's bodygaurds finally piped up and questioned.
Kakashi eyed the strange woman. "Yeah, how did you two get passed security?"
There was an arkward pause of silence from both Uchiha and Hyuuga parties as they both eyed the two news people. Wait, how did they get in there again?
"Magic." Yoshi said sarcasticlly as she turned her attention back to Sasuke with a huge smile. She then bent down low enough to be eye-level with the small boy and put her microphone up to Sasuke.
"So tell me Sasuke-kun, will you really be taking after your father like almost everyone is assuming?" She said sweetly to him. 'Now would be a good time to practice my father's words of widsom.' he thought. Sasuke then gave her a sly look and chose his words carefully and loud enough for Hiashi to hear who just happened to turn his attention to him.
"Well of course. I'd feel like I'd be letting my father down to give up without a fight. I always wanted to run the family business one day and even if I'm going though the roughest time of my life right now; I assume, I should be positive and use this bad experiance at my own advantage so I'll become stronger just like my father. Sometimes failure and pain are the only pathways of making you want to strive for success. I also think being up against a such a powerful person like Hyuuga-san would help me out greatly." 'Phase one of father's words comlpete!'
Hiashi eyes widen as he turned fully towards Sasuke. 'This kid is alot smarter than I thought.' he smirked with interest. 'That I expect from a well-trained Mafia heir. Much better than Hinata.' Hiashi then made his way to stand infront of Sasuke, towering over the boy, making the small heir almost tilt his head all the way up just to look him in the face. Yoshi instantly stood up; almost knocking over her camera man friend, and chriped,"Whoa, its hard to believe that you're only eight years old after those words! Hyuuga-sama must be impressed to I asume?!"
Hiashi mentally agreed with her as he silently exstened his hand to the boy for a hand shake. "I see that I will infact have a compeition later in the years. I hope you will be as a great opponite as your father was." he sad cooly. 'Smart kid, too bad I have to destroy this Uchiha runt one day.' With that he gave the boy a poisoness smile. Sasuke caught that look quick and smiled to himself. 'Now for Phase 2 of father's words...' Sasuke reached out to grab Hiashi hand and before the older man could grasp his Sasuke yanked it back!! This unusal action made everyone; including the intire Hyuuga group and Sasuke's bodygaurds, look at the little boy puzzled. Sasuke took his right hand; the one he used, and slowly pulled his silky colbalt bangs from his eyes.
"Of coarse..." Sasuke gave Hiashi an innocent look with his eyes but had an evil strickin' smile on his young face, "...and thats exacily why I'll personally enjoy buring your cocky ass in the dirt."
'...Celebrate them, then break them.'
Everybodies jaws hit the floor!! Did he just say that...to Hiashi Hyuuga??!!!! At that point they all assumed they must be dreaming or something because Sasuke just said that live on T.V.!!!!
'That disrespectful smartass!!' Hiashi screamed in his head. He wasn't that affendent about what the mini Uchiha said but the way he said it which made Hiashi see Fugaku in Sasuke. The boy turned on his snickers but did something that; without knowing it, would make Hiashi forever want to kill him for years to come. He flashed him the ever famous and hated Uchiha smirk. "Yes, it'll be an honor, indeed." Hiashi had the pure urge of that moment to stranggle the little Sasuke and truely was about to make a move to do what he so desired but froze when he looked into Sasuke's young eyes.
They were no longer the cold charcoal that he once had but a dangerous blood red. 'The Sharingan Syndrome!!' Hiashi concluded. Fugaku would always show off his blood red eyes when he would threaten him but somehow Sasuke's eyes seem more red, more dangerous than Fugaku's ever were! "Nice meeting you Hyuuga-san." With that Sasuke turn the other way and walk passed Kakashi and his bodygaurds heading towards the staircase that lead to the room where the meeting would be held. Sasuke raised up his left arm and lightly waved it to single to his three companions. "Lets go! The meeting is about to start." Kakashi and the two others obeyed without word, leaving a group of Hyuugas, a reporter, and camera man puzzled behind them.
Hiashi was the first to snap back to reality and gave off a pissed growl before turning and stomping passed everybody in the opposite direction; ignoring all the suggestions of calming down from his group. Yoshi turned to her camera man and uncertainly pulled her microphone to her face. "Um, well...I geuss thats all for now? Eh, I'm Yoshi Kyamichi and back to you Chouyma-san." "Cut, I think?" Yoshi's camera man said in slight confusion.
All the way in the hallway of the second floor the Uchiha party walked in silence before Kakashi gladly broke it. "What the hell was that all about, Sasuke-kun?! You could have gotten your little as stomped to death back there!!" Kakashi said angerly as he glared at the boy walking casually in front of him like nothing happened. "You told me to mingle with him so I did." Sasuke repied indifferently. "Yeah but I didn't tell you to be a smartass about it!! Now I won't even be surprize if I wake up tomorrow to the news of 'The Last Uchiha Heir Dead', I can see the headlines now." Kakashi said with a disappointed look.
"He won't."
"Nani?"
"He won't kill me."
"And how do you know that, Sasuke?!! Please tell me; I'm dying to know what would keep a provoced Mafia leader from killing a sharp-tounged, smartass little brat like you?!!"
They arrived at the meeting room door which had a few more bodygaurds surronding it; all were Uchiha bodygaurds. "Because..", one of the gaurds opened the door for the soon to be offical last Uchiha heir," he has a daughter." Sasuke finish with an all knowing tone in his undeveloped voice before making his way into the room.
End of Flashback
Sasuke sat up straight in his chair as he gave his trademark smirk to himself. Yep, Sasuke just knew how to push people's button even at an earily age. Well, you can't really blame it just on him; he got that trait from his father of all people. The very man who was known to be the king of the smartasses. Fugaku. Sasuke slightly laid on his desk at the thought of his father. 'A good man.' Sasuke's mind went blank as he stared at the white tile floor of the classroom before his mind drifted back to Hinata who sat far behind him. Yeah, that day he ruined any chance of being with her. Even if him and Hinata ever decided to get together Hiashi would have never let it happen.
Even if Hiashi didn't kill him back then he was still on his death list no dought. Infact, Sasuke wouldn't be surprized if Hiashi ended up praising his daughter if she said she wanted him dead. Sasuke took a long drag of air into his lungs as hes eyes suddenly went blood red.
Life wasn't fair.
