Damn that bastard Sasuke, why didn't he tell me to get off the bus?! Hinata thought, running into the her first class as soon as the bell rang.

"Ah, I suppose you got lost, hm?" Hinata turned to the teacher, who was standing at the chalkboard, in the middle of a sketch of a 3D cube. Or was she a student? She didn't look much older than herself, and maybe she was an intern.

"Are… you the teacher?" Hinata asked. She glanced at her schedule and saw that she was in art, which explains the cube.

"Not really, no, hm. I just have a teacher's license and 4 degrees in art, yea." The voice of this girl was super deep, was it a guy???

"Yea right!" Pitched in a girl at the back of the classroom. "That's just Deidara. He's a senior and teaches art one for extra credit." Deidara threw the chalk at the girl.

"Let me have some fun with noobs, yea!" He yelled.

Hinata flushed. Noob, huh? "Oh… so you are a guy then. I couldn't tell." She stated curtly. Deidara looked like he was about to throw more than just chalk at her when Hinata felt a presence at her side. She glanced to her left and saw that Sasuke had taken residence beside her and had his hand securely on her shoulder.

"Sorry Deidara, she was supposed to be with me, but we got mixed up with lockers and such." He pressed his thumb hard into a pressure point on the side of Hinata's neck, telling to play along.

"Y-yea…" Hinata glared at Deidara and quickly brought it to the floor as to not cause any more bad relations.

Deidara blinked. He did a quick look of Hinata, up and down, and smirked to Sasuke. "Oh... so she's with you… Nice catch, yea. Being itachi's brother I wouldn't have really guessed anything different, hm, but she is new, yea, and she must be easy, 'cause you always come off as a bastard at firs-"

"Shut up Deidara." Sasuke stated coldly and quickly.

Deidara raised his hands in defense. "Fine... fine, yea. I wouldn't want your brother coming after me."

Sasuke's grip tightened painfully, and Hinata tried her best not to let out a gasp of pain. "Let's go Hinata." Sasuke steered Hinata back to his seat, and Deidara went back to the cube, but the students sent glares to Sasuke and Hinata.

"They all like Deidara, and it's considered a crime to mess with him." Sasuke stated when Hinata turned to him with a questioning look. "He's the number three bad boy of our school. What makes the teachers think he would make an acceptable teacher is beyond me."

"Number 3?" Hinata always heard the term number one bad boy, but number three was a first for her.

Sasuke sighed, "Guess I will explain everything about this town to you. First, let's start with the high school, since this will be where you spend most of your time." Sasuke wrote high school on the paper in front of him instead of drawing the assigned cube. His handwriting was small, and slightly stretched plus slanted, but it came out neat, so it was easy to read. "First up is the 'Akatsuki', which is the exact opposite of a fraternity." Hinata nodded to show that she understood.

"Okay, the leader and the founder of the Akatsuki are these two boys, Madara Uchiha, and Pein. The Madara guy is related to me, as you can guess, happens to be my cousin, and the pein guy, no idea who he is. I have only seen him once or twice, and Itachi never mentions his last name, so I don't know that one either. Any ways, During Madara's senior year, he met up with this sophomore, Pein. For some reason, they decided to form a gang, but they decided it they didn't like that term, so they say their an organization, but basically it's a mini mafia. They named it Akatsuki, and got some more sophomores and some juniors to join. That was a year ago, and madara is now off in college, though he still keeps in touch with pein."

Hinata nodded, following, but not fully understanding.

"The members come to this count; Deidara, Hidan, Zetsu, Pein and Tobi make up the seniors. Itachi, Kisame, Konan make up the juniors. Itachi, if you haven't guessed, is my brother. Aside from Madara, they have two more college members, Kakuzu and Sasori." Sasuke had been counting off on his fingers, and now held up ten. "By the way, Konan is a girl and is the only female member. Not that the group is sexist or anything, they are just very picky about their members and it happens the guys in this town are more willing to get into more trouble."

"So they make up the bad boys and bad girl of the school slash town?" Hinata asked. Sasuke nodded.

"Pein being number one, itachi being number two, Deidara being number three."

"Does that go by how bad they actually are?" Hinata started to agree with Sasuke about letting the number three bad boy of the town leading a class. What if he pulled out a gun or something?

"Don't worry; Deidara is crazy, not homicidal." Hinata gave him a look for reading her mind again. "No, they go by how liked they are by the student body. Pein is feared and respected, plus holds the authority of being the leader, girls like him, so he's number one." Sasuke hinted that girls liked him for the first two facts about him. "Itachi is feared and respected, and he's good looking, so girls definetly like him. And Deidara is the artistic type, and girls around here have a fetish for girly men, so he is third."

"So basically it's a personality contest with them." Hinata sighed, knowing that looks and status always came into play, but Sasuke shook his head. "They, the akatsuki, themselves could care less what anybody thought about them. All the status of who's the bad boy is strictly to the student body."

Hinata looked up at the clock. Class was halfway over. "So is there anything else about the school I should know?" Sasuke smiled and started to write more onto the paper.

The rest of the day went by like that. Sasuke would explain things about the school and town, and eventually, the day went by. That sat next to each other at lunch, along with sasuke's friends; Naruto, who was the kid she saw on the bus who had pulled the disappearing act (Hinata decided to write that instant off as a daydream), Sakura, who was overly fanned over by Naruto and this kid Rock Lee who had the largest eyebrows Hinata ever saw, and Suigetsu, who, like Sasuke, had a brother in Akatsuki.

During their explanations of the town and school, Hinata took notice to how every time she tried to bring up the angel she saw in the graveyard, they either changed the subject or told her she was being superstious. Something was obviously going on.

The day ended, and Sasuke, Hinata, and Naruto borded the bus. All of the seats were full, so the three of them packed into the further most back seat, Sasuke by the window, Hinata in the middle, and and Naruto almost spilling into the aisle, he being the first one to get off.

"So how did you enjoy your first day of Konoha High?" Naruto asked. Hinata felt a slight flutter in heart chest when he asked this, and scolded herself for starting to like a guy she barely new.

"It was a lot better than I expected." She replied truthfully. "When I saw the school yesterday, I was expecting a lot of rich snobs."

Sasuke executed a content sigh. "Aahh.. the reality of high school clichés. No, we do have our jerks-"

"Your looking at one of them" Naruto butted in, snickering. Sasuke stopped, but ignored his comment.

"-and we do have the rich freaks, and we do have the combinations of the two, but they do not run the school like directors always depict in school centered movies. Though most of the time they themselves think so."

"But no matter what, you will always have your sniveling little snakes and dogs that don't know their place." The trio look up to the blonde girl that Hinata had seen earlier that morning. The girl fixed her violet eyes onto Hinata. "Careful bunny-rabbit, everyone knows what snakes and dogs like to eat."

Hinata glared at the girl. She started to say a comeback, but was cut off by Naruto. "but of course dogs like to snack on cats first."

Hinata could only assume that the dog of the metaphors was Naruto, which meant Sasuke was a snake. She had already assumed that she herself was the rabbit. Hinata looked back to the blonde, and did notice a sort of air around her that had the taste of self content that one would associate with cats.

The girl glared at Naruto and then turned to Hinata, smirking. "Just wait, you will find out soon. My friend… or… ex-friend decided to be friends with them, and they completely abused her until now she thinks acts like she enjoys their presence out of shame."

"Sakura became our friend when she found out we were right, and you were wrong, Ino!" Sasuke's face was a light pink, and the half end of the bus quickly quieted down. The atmosphere in the back seat suddenly got very tense and on edge.

The blonde, Ino, seemed like she was blinking back tears. "You swore…"

The bus slowed to a stop, and Naruto began to get up. "this is my st-"

"We'll come with you." Sasuke hurridly pulled Hinata up and pushed her out into the aisle when she hesitated. On the wat off the bus, Hinata glanced at the big review mirror and saw that Ino was now looking out the bus window, tears streaming down her face.

Hinata jumped off the bus and followed Naruto and Sasuke who were walking down the street to what Hinata would only assume to be naruto's house. Both had their heads pulled together, and they seemed to be urgently talking to one another. "Hey- wait up!"
