First period of the new day… And Sasuke had been on time. Just barely. He managed to slide into his seat just as the bell rang. He took a breath in relief, holding his hand over his chest and ignoring the looks from those around him. Mainly because of where he was sitting. Not only was it in someone's lap, but a boy with… spiky blonde hair. "Why, Sasuke-teme! I had no idea you felt that way!" Sasuke of course twitches and stands up immediately, glaring at the grinning boy. He honestly had no idea why Sai liked him so much…

"Take a seat." The teacher orders, pointing at an empty one right beside him. Oh… this would be a long year. The teacher already didn't like him… but the teacher himself seemed cool enough. Silver hair that hung in front of his eye and spiked out to the side. It was interesting because… he looked young. Extremely young, as a matter of fact. "I am Hatake Kakashi. None of you call me that. From this day forth you shall call me… Kakashi-sensei. Why? Because I don't answer to my last name. Why? Well, I'd rather not go into that right now. My age is unimportant. Welcome to your math class."

The teacher's introduction had been… interesting. To say the least. All of that talking, and he only managed to tell them two things. His name… and that he teaches math. Sasuke watches him sit at his desk, ignoring the note that flew across the room from the blonde idiot that was waving at him. After about five minutes he extends his leg, dragging the note closer to him and bending over to pick it up. He opens it, sighing softly. It was just him blabbering on about how his summer went… but… something caught his eye. A note in tiny writing at read 'tell Sai too talk to me later' well… actually it said 'tell sai 2 talk 2 me l8ter' but… Sasuke was never one to enjoy 'chat speak' even on the computer, he always typed literately. This meant he excelled at things like English... He usually got an 'A' on every paper he ever wrote because of that. But math… math was harder. He tried doing what people suggested. Things like 'try imagining the numbers are just sentences, and you have to figure it out to get it to flow smoothly', but nothing seemed to work. Unlike Itachi… the Prodigy who excelled at everything and was absolutely perfect.

He would beat his brother one day… and when he did it be glorious. "-suke. Uchiha Sasuke, are you here or aren't you?" Kakashi asked in a bored tone, and Sasuke nods. "Yeah… I'm here." He continued naming off names, recognizing a few from junior high and elementary. Sakura was here… Ten-ten… Ino… Every girl he ever fought to ward off in school was here. But, it seemed they were all drooling over the teacher for the moment, so he was okay… for now.

Finally, the bell rang. First period was over… finally. School was beginning to grind of his nerves… and it wasn't even second period yet. Sasuke skimmed his schedule before nodding and going to the room the yellow paper told him to. The teacher was a girl… which could prove interesting. "Hello everybody! Welcome to your health class! Call me Anko-sensei." Her tone of voice didn't leave much room for argument… 'is she allowed to wear that little clothing?' He stares at her for a moment, shaking his head. Short skirt and fishnet… maybe that was just her way to get the class's attention. Maybe she was just a slut.

He blinks as the door opened right before the bell rang and looks over. Everything appears to be in slow motion as the red-head of his dreams walks through the door, a folded up piece of yellow paper hanging from his mouth. He thought the paper complimented his tattoo nicely. But… the class (judging by the soft gasps and whispers) didn't feel the same. They still weren't used to Goths and Emos? Sad… because they were really missing out. After all, their lunch table usually had the best conversations.

Gaara takes a seat, pointing to the one next to him wordlessly, implying that Sasuke was to sit next to him. 'He's so dense sometimes… standing there like a moron…' he laughs softly, green eyes scanning the room. No one he knew… though, a boy was staring at him in a way that made him uncomfortable.

The boy had blonde hair. That much was noticeable… because it was yellow blonde. His hair covered one eye, and a black headband with red clouds on it held the rest of his hair back. There was a small pony tail on the back of his head, and some hair was left down. Gaara noted soon after that this boy had a lot of hair. And blue eyes that resembled Naruto's… perhaps they were related.

The blonde boy walks over to Gaara, waving and leaning up against his desk. "hey! I saw you from across the room and I couldn't help but notice your Tattoo." While he talked, his hands did speaking of their own. Further explaining what he said with simple motions and twirls of the fingers.

"Thank you… I did it myself…" he scans the boy, nodding a few times. Loose light blue jeans… and a hoody with a pair of wings on the back. Underneath it said 'Akatsuki' in red kanji letters. Little moon-shaped beads dangled at the head of the strings that lead inside the hood. Red clouds made a trail up the sleeves.

'Akatsuki…?' Sasuke had heard that name somewhere before… seen that hoody somewhere before…. And that's when it hit him. Itachi was a member of the Akatsuki. It was to symbolize being in the gang… to show you're an outcast from society … and to show you had done something to deserve being in this group of theirs. So… even if this boy seemed pleasant enough, Sasuke wouldn't drop his guard. He had obviously done something to deserve being a member of the Akatsuki… and had some strange interest in Gaara… 'But what could it be?'

A/N: Deidara talks with his hands... for the mouths in his hands... get it? ;; Ahhh... I'm lame. Oh well. All the Akatsuki hoodies will be slightly different... Deidara's has wings because he wishes he could fly. Comments would be lovely.
