Authoress's note: I want to thank everyone who reviewed! And thank you all for supporting me. I'm sorry that I couldn't get a chapter up yesterday. I was gone most of the morning, and still had to edit this today. So, anyway, here's Chapter Five; Cafeteria Mayhem! Brought to you by me, and many reviews from people and my friend Emily. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I own no one but Kaido, Miyu, and the students.

Cafeteria Mayhem!

Sasuke sighed as his newest alarm began to blare at him - accept this time it was kids' laughter that woke him; not Tsunade's scornful voice.

Other than this, Sasuke's day began the usual way; starting when he threw his shoe at his clock and made it shatter to the ground. He changed into his uniform as he muttered inaudible curses, getting ready for the torture to commence.

He ate an apple for breakfast (he did this in hope of keeping the doctor, Sakura, as far away from him as possible), fixed his hair, and headed outside.

The walk to the Academy had been rather uneventful, save for the fact that Shizune had met up with him and asked about his progress. He just muttered 'hn' and walked on.

As he arrived at the Academy, he noticed something white hanging on the door. Dread consumed him as he cautiously approached it; his eyes trailing a path around him to make sure it wasn't a set-up.

He stopped dead when he realized it was a note – considering the past few notes he had been receiving had been less than pleasant. He took a breath to calm himself down. This had gone too far, and he was growing paranoid over nothing.

He pulled the taped letter off of the door and stared at it, unconsciously reading the first part of it aloud.

"Dear Sasuke,

I have unfortunately been called off on a last minute mission, so I will be unable to attend classes today. Don't worry, though. I've created you a list of things I intended on having the class do today, and it includes completing the transformation tests. Have them turn into something different today, okay?

Also, I'm sorry about the incident with the slide. I didn't know the children would do that to you."

Sasuke sighed. A lot of good apologizing would do after the deed had already been done. Was there honestly ever a point of doing that, anyway? He shook his head, and then focused on the letter again.

Miyu has also asked me to have you help her serve the students their lunch today. She says it was very difficult for her to keep up with them all, and any help would be appreciated. Help her out, would you please, Sasuke?

What was the point in asking? Sasuke wondered. Didn't Iruka know that he didn't have a choice?

----------

Sasuke waited for a good half an hour until he was positive that no more students would be coming inside. He was more than happy when he realized that Iria wasn't there, along with a few other students. He kept a stoic expression through his happiness, though.

The less kids, the less embarrassment he would have to face.

He crossed his arms as he stood in front of the class, taking in the curious glances each of them were giving him. He sighed mentally, trying to think of the first thing to say.

"Hey, Slide-breaker-sensei, where's Iruka-sensei?" Tai asked boredly, leaning back in his chair and propping his feet up on the desk. "Shouldn't he be here by now? Or did he have to repair the slide?"

Sasuke glared at the child. "No, Iruka didn't have to fix the slide. He had a mission to go on."

"If you're a sensei, shouldn't you have gone on a mission, too?" A little girl said, looking at Sasuke with curiosity in her eyes. Sasuke sighed.

"I'm a teacher's assistant. I help when the teachers are gone."

"That's a lame job," Tai muttered. "Being a ninja who gets to go on awesome missions is much cooler! You're lame, Sasuke!"

"That's Sasuke-sensei, Tai," The little girl said sharply, her tone low in hopes of Sasuke not hearing.

But he did. He tightened his arms, before counting to ten in an attempt to calm down. "We have things we have to do, today," he announced. "The rest of you have to finish your trans–"

"Sasuke-san, I'm glad you're here!" A man said, running into the room. Everyone inside turned to stare at the man – including Sasuke.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked stoically.

"I've been called to help Iruka on his mission," The man said hurriedly. "Could you take care of my students, please?"

You will help any and all of the Academy teachers that ask for your help.

Sasuke shrugged. "Sure, whatever . . . What level?"

"First years," The man said, ushering a group of really young kids in. The man handed Sasuke a large bag, bowed in thanks, and rushed out of the room. Sasuke stared at all of the children, realizing that there was absolutely no way he was going to fit all of these kids in this room.

He racked his brain as he tried to recall a room large enough for them all.

And then the lunch bell rang.

He ushered all of the children out of the room, leading them down the hall as he tried his best to ignore the comments about how he could barely control one group of kids; most of which were coming from Tai, Sasuke's biggest problem so far.

He led the group of children into the cafeteria and told them all to find a seat as he went back to help Miyu. The aqua-haired girl greeted him enthusiastically, while all he muttered was 'hn' and got to work.

Hamburgers, mashed potatoes, and corn were what made up the meal for today's lunch. Sasuke stuck the last of the condiments on the table and sighed, walking out to face the kids.

"Look! It's not Sasuke-sensei anymore!" Tai shouted, noticing the apron an hair-net. "It's Sasuke-chan!"

Sasuke was growing extremely frustrated with this young brat, and he had the foreboding feeling that the boy knew it, too. It angered him, but he pretended not to have heard him, or the laughter that emitted from the ten to twelve year olds, and the three to five year olds that were in the room.

"If you want to eat," Sasuke said, trying to keep his voice as level as possible. "Then I suggest you come and get some food."

Instead of trying to make a smart remark or comment, the children stood up to get in line. Sasuke looked at the smaller kids who had yet to get up. "What? Why aren't you all getting in line?"

"Sasuke-sensei, Kaido-sensei always brings the food to us," one young boy replied sheepishly.

Sasuke sighed, but nodded. "Okay, wait here, then," he said, counting each of the students. There were twenty-four of them. He headed back behind the serving bar.

"Miyu, can you serve those little kids?" Sasuke asked monotonously. Miyu shook her head vigorously. "Of course," she said, before going off to get the meals ready as Sasuke walked up to the counter and started to serve the older children. It went great, too. Much better than Sasuke had imagined it going.

Until it was Tai's turn.

The young, red-headed boy stared at Sasuke, and then the mashed potatoes and corn. "I want both," he stated.

"You can't have both," Sasuke stated, matching the young boy's look with a stoic one. Tai huffed. "Why not?"

"Because it's one side dish per student. That's the rule," Sasuke stated firmly, not quite sure why this kid seemed to hate him so much.

Tai glared at him, but then suddenly smiled – which surprised Sasuke a little. Then the boy spoke to him. "So, I can't have both?"

"No."

The boy grinned, and Sasuke suddenly got the feeling he always got when something bad was about to happen.

Before he could stop the boy, Tai grabbed a handful of both side-dishes, and chunked them straight at Sasuke's face, causing the Uchiha to be temporarily blinded by mashed potatoes and corn. He scowled as he wiped the items away from his eyes and face, glaring at the boy.

Tai smiled in reply, with his comment being; "I can't have both – but you sure can, Sensei! I give you permission!"

Everyone laughed, except for Sasuke and Miyu. Miyu tried not to laugh, anyway, as she handed out the last few meals. It wasn't everyday that anyone got to see Sasuke with mashed potatoes weighing down his spiked-up hair, anyway.

Sasuke looked at Tai, honestly wishing he could just kill the stupid kid. He didn't make his wishes out loud, though, so he smirked instead.

"Yes, of course. But, now that you've just wasted good food, you get to go sit down with no mashed potatoes or corn. So, get," he stated firmly. The surprised expression on Tai's face made him all the happier.

Miyu quickly walked over to Sasuke. "I can handle it now," she whispered. "You go get cleaned up and eat for yourself, okay?"

"Whatever," Sasuke muttered, turning and going into the back to change.

Stupid kids . . . he thought as he pulled off the hair net and apron. Why can't they just behave with me like they do with Iruka?

Sasuke left the cafeteria and went down to the teachers lounge. He was ready to break something by the time he'd gotten there.

How could he have let a stupid little kid do that to him!? First the slide, then the dreams, and now this. This was just terrible. It wasn't funny, nor was it 'cool'. He despised these kids, but he wasn't allowed to complain. It wasn't fair!

Then again, neither was the fact that he would have to escort the world's largest pair of fan-girls for four months if he quit now.

Not to mention the fact that it would make him look like a total moron who couldn't handle a few kids.

He took his time walking back to the cafeteria to get the kids; looking into empty classrooms until he found one that was wide enough to hold fifty-four to sixty children. A smirk appeared on his face as he recalled Kaido giving him a list of what his children could do while he was gone.

Sasuke had read 'nap when lunch is over' on the list Kaido had given him.

He opened the door to the cafeteria, which was filled with laughter and jokes, as he walked in. He crossed his arms. "Okay, lunch is over. Everyone get ready to go back to class," he announced loudly, catching all of the students' attention.

"Why should we go?" Tai asked snidely.

"Because I, as your sensei, told you to."

Sasuke smirked as he realized that Tai couldn't come up with a plausible excuse. He crossed his arms. "Anyone who's left in here gets extra homework," he stated firmly.

He thought the kids had just eaten a box of sugary donuts, the way they ran over to get in line. He smirked, walking ahead and towards the classroom.

Iruka's going to have to have those students do the transformations tomorrow. I've got too many students to do that with right now . . . he thought bitterly as he opened the door for them all to go inside of the new classrooms. There were no seats for students, and that was good. Sasuke looked at the kids as he walked into the room.

"Okay, well, Kaido-'sensei' said that you all need to take a nap now," Sasuke stated. "So, get to sleep," he said, taking a seat at the only desk in the room; claiming it for his own.

"What?!?!" The older kids whined, while the younger ones smiled and ran off to find a place to sleep at.

Sasuke had expected this moment, and had actually thrived upon it. "Take a nap."

The young blue-haired boy who had pushed him down the slide growled. "We're too old to take a nap!" he shouted.

"Too bad," Sasuke stated firmly. "You're going to take a nap anyway. It's healthy."

And it will keep you away from me, he added mentally.

After a few more arguments were beaten down by Sasuke, the older children had no choice but to comply with Sasuke's command. To Sasuke's amusement, they fell asleep quickly.

With nothing interesting going on in the room, and after re-reading his list of 'things-to-do' three or four times, Sasuke got bored.

He closed his eyes to relax, and ended up falling asleep for himself.

He had no idea that some of the older children were actually hidden well in the cafeteria's ceiling (having found out that there was a panel on the roof that could easily be moved when a chair and a few students were there to help). The ones sleeping were just shadow clones, and they disappeared as soon as the real ones made their way to the panels above Sasuke's class.

Evil smiles were on each of the kids' faces as they realized Sasuke had let his guard down.

There's chapter five for you! I hope you enjoyed!! Please review!
