Sarutobi High School

Chapter 6: Saturday Detention… Yes Please!

"You two are in sooo much trouble! I can't even begin to-" Anko didn't even finish what she was about to say, but took a deep breath instead for fear of saying something that would come back to bite her in the ass later. Sasuke slumped in his chair, sporting a bloody lip. Naruto had a black eye. The dobe. This was all his fault. If he hadn't over-reacted to what Kiba had said, none of them would be here right now.

"Send in Uchiha and Uzumaki first," a voice called from the principal's office. Anko glared contemptuously at the two and pointed towards the open door.

"March. Now," she said harshly. Sasuke and Naruto stood up simultaneously, drudging into the awaiting office. Tsunade sat at her desk, her hands laced in front of her face.

"Explain," she said simply. Sasuke sighed.

"Well, you see-"

"Kiba called Hinata a whore," Naruto cried angrily, standing up in frustration. Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

"Now why would he do that?" she asked slowly.

"Because we were playing dodgeball and we wanted to win and they wanted to win so we started saying stuff and then he said that and then Naruto punched him and then Lee joined in so I had to help to keep this idiot from dying and now we're here," Sasuke said in one breath before Naruto could say anything to incriminate them more. Tsunade looked at both of them for a long moment. Finally, she nodded.

"Now, I am under the impression that you are already doing a Saturday detention for Kakashi along with Hyuuga Hinata and Haruno Sakura, correct?" Tsunade asked. They nodded.

"Fine, you will do two weeks of detention for me and an additional two Saturday detentions. Now go, get to class. But, you may want to get that lip checked out Uchiha," Tsunade remarked. Sasuke waved a hand, still absorbing his agenda in for the next two weeks. He and Naruto filed out of Tsunade's office obediently. They both walked straight past the nurse's office.

"Man, this sucks," Naruto said, kicking a pencil across the hallway. Sasuke nodded. They entered the gym, avoiding contact with Anko and they changed into their school clothes, both putting their bloody clothes into a bag for washing.

"Hey, thanks for having my back Sasuke," Naruto said as they made their way down the main hallway. Sasuke shrugged.

"Thanks for having mine when Lee had me in that headlock," they laughed. Naruto climbed the stairs to get to his history class.

"Later," he said. Sasuke nodded at him, making his way to science. He couldn't help wondering how Sakura would react to his appearance. He was really glad they had science together too.

'I bet she's going to be all worried about me,' Sasuke thought, nodding triumphantly. He entered the classroom, ducking his head. Gai turned around from the board.

"Ah, if it isn't our own 'Let's take this into our own hands'," Gai said, pausing for laughter. No one said a word. He twitched his nose.

"Sasuke, please take your seat," he said, miffed at his class for not understanding his joke. He nodded, sitting next to Sakura and Shikamaru.

"You and Naruto are going to give me gray hairs," Sakura hissed at him angrily. Shikamaru nodded. Sasuke shrugged.

"It was Naruto's fault," he said sheepishly. Sakura was bristling.

"Oh, yeah, it was Naruto's fault! So why don't you just dive into a brawl of fists and kicks," Sakura whisper-yelled at him before turning back to her science book and copying down vocabulary terms into her notebook. Sasuke blinked. Why was she taking it so hard? He was the one with the busted lip. Shikamaru shook his head at him, scribbling something on a piece of paper.

She was worried about you, man! the paper read. Sasuke cursed silently. Shikamaru gave him a sympathetic look before going back to copying down the terms from his book. Sasuke turned to face the front, following suit of Shikamaru. But he couldn't focus. He knew he should feel guilty that he had worried Sakura, but a part of him liked that she was worried about him. He smirked as he glanced from the board to Sakura's angry form and back to the board. Somehow, the Saturday detention wasn't looking too bad anymore.

"Saturday detention? How in the world did that happen?" Sakura's mom asked angrily when Sakura told her that afternoon after school. She shrugged.

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again," she mumbled, letting her hair fall over her face. Her mom took a deep breath, composing herself.

"All right. Well, go upstairs and finish your homework, I suppose," she said tiredly. Sakura smiled faintly.

"'Kay," she said, running upstairs. As she glanced out her window, she shook her head, retracing her steps. Sasuke was standing outside, trying to get her attention. She opened the window quickly, sticking her head out.

"What are you doing here!" she called quietly. Sasuke smiled.

"I didn't want to bother your mom; I just wanted to say I'm sorry for today," he said, grinning up at her. She couldn't fight the smile that was working its way onto her face. How could she stay mad at him?

"Thank you for apologizing, it means a lot to me," she said, leaning on her elbows. Sasuke blushed a little, scratching his head.

"And, I'm sorry for getting you and Naruto and Hinata in trouble with Kakashi today," Sakura said, her smile fading a little. Sasuke waved her off.

"Don't be, we were going to get in trouble anyway; at least we're going to be in detention together," he said shyly. Ugh, what was wrong with him?

"Yeah, that's the school's mistake, we're probably going to hang out and talk as if we were hanging out somewhere else," Sakura said, grinning dazzlingly at him. He couldn't help but to grin back. He stuck his hands in his pockets.

"Well, I'll leave before I get you in more trouble. I'll see you tomorrow at school," He said, turning around to go back to his house.

"'Kay! See you tomorrow," Sakura called after him. She watched his every move as he opened his door and walked into his house. She watched the spot where he disappeared for a few more moments before retreating into her room and shutting the window. She smiled to herself, collapsing on her bed. She couldn't explain it, but something about Sasuke just made her stomach tingle. And she loved that feeling.

"Now, I don't want any talking, you are to sit at the designated areas and sit there as if this was a real school day," Kakashi said, giving the four inmates a stern glare before turning on his heel and exiting the cafeteria where Hinata, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were serving their detention. The door swung shut behind him. As soon as he was gone, they stood up, all sitting at the same table. They began to talk, quietly at first, then louder, and soon they were laughing and shouting as Sasuke and Naruto made a game out of some old crates and frozen hamburgers. The time flew by, and Kakashi came in only twice, as he was giving up his Saturday to babysit them.

"And this was a punishment?" Sakura laughed as Naruto pulled himself out of a frozen hamburger crate. Hinata had tears streaming down her face as she fought to catch her breath.

"We're lucky, they aren't always this fun," Sasuke said, panting. He had been chasing Naruto around after he took his bag. He sat down in a huff next to Sakura as Naruto finally dislodged himself from the crate. He rubbed his back, sitting down next to Hinata and putting an arm around her shoulders.

"So I was thinking about going to Ichiraku's for dinner," Naruto said, grinning at the three. Sakura and Hinata giggled, and Sasuke shook his head, muttering "dobe" under his breath.

"We should go somewhere special, somewhere romantic," Sakura said dreamily, smiling. Sasuke chuckled, leaning back against the table. He glanced at his watch and was surprised to see that it was almost five. Their detention was almost over. But part of him didn't want it to end. The same part that like how Sakrua was worried about him. He loved to hear her laugh, loved to see her smiling and joking. She just looked so... beautiful. The other three were arguing over where to go for dinner, but Sasuke said nothing, buried in his thoughts about Sakura, this new girl who lived across the street who had stolen his heart in less than a week.
