As Hinata violently shoved Sasuke out of the girls' locker room, the room was buzzing with teen girls changing and gossiping about everything they heard over a few hours to their friends. Hinata sighed as she figured that no one saw her, or rather heard her and the Uchiha screaming at each other. But all of those thoughts were thrown out the window when an arm found itself around her wrist and forcefully dragged her back to her band. Looking up, she saw it was TenTen who dragged her from the showers. Hinata pulled her arm away from the brunette then noticed five pairs of eyebrows raised and a few arms crossed under their chest.

"What?" She asked, trying to play innocent and incompetent to their glances.

Temari threw her arms up in the air while rolling her eyes dramatically. "Don't play around, Hinata, we saw you and Uchiha come in here and never come out! What's with that, huh?" She placed her palms on her hips and tapped her foot, waiting for an answer.

Hinata sighed. Temari can be just like her mother sometimes. 'Troublesome best friends,' she mused then shook it off. "It was nothing, really. Don't worry your pretty little head about it, alright?" She said sarcastically while pulling off her shirt and replacing it with her uniform shirt. She didn't even do anything on her first P.E day. Well, other than have a bitter fight with her ex boyfriend.

"Did he do anything, Hinata?" TenTen demanded while she smoothed out her skirt then buttoned her white shirt. She looked over to the indigo beauty.

"He didn't do anything to me, so drop it, will ya?"

This time Ino spoke up while fixing her shoes, "Because if he did—"

"For Kami's sake people! Sasuke didn't do anything to me, I dragged him in here. Just to talk, nothing big, so don't have a cow," Hinata responded then put on those annoying heels. She sighed, "Actually, I have English next...with Sasuke."

"And TenTen-chan here has Life Science with Natsumi and I," Julia responded. Hinata didn't even see her or notice her lying on the bench against the lockers, in her full uniform or, well, what she had originally had on to begin with. Then she noticed one more person missing.

"Julia-Chan?"

"Hm, Hinata."

"Where is Natsu-Oneecha-?"

"She got sent to the principal's office." The Uchiha snickered and smirked with mirth deep in her dark coal eyes.

The Hyuuga just nodded, not needing further explanation on the matter. Just as she finished, Temari finished too and they were on their way out when the boys came up to them. Hinata looked at Sasuke, who was in the front of the others, smirking at her like he just came up with the most evil plan in the history of evil plans. As he stood in front of her, mere inches from her face, she looked up into his very amused eyes. Hinata just had to be smaller than that damned Uchiha air-head. Her glassy eyes glared at him.

"What do you want, Uchiha?"

He chuckled into his hand, "I came to walk you to class, being the gentleman I am and all." His smirk couldn't have gotten bigger than that.

Hinata huffed and crossed her arms under her chest, to which Sasuke took notice off. She really did look like the super model she portrayed to be on television and in magazines. "Don't treat me like some idiotic little kid, Uchiha! I can handle myself, I'll find my own way to class, thank you."

Then Ino leaned in to her ear to whisper: "Hinata, you don't even know the room number yet."

She blushed in embarrassment then looked to the right. "S-So? I-I'll find out! And I won't need an Uchiha's help either!" She shouted with determination and pride.

"Yeah! I like the way you think, Hina-chan!" TenTen voiced with encouragement from her left side. Hinata hadn't even noticed her there until now. "We don't need any one to guide us; we are independent women who can navigate themselves so I'd have to say I'd decline your offer, Neji-San." TenTen was the 'independent-womanish' one out of them all.

The older Hyuuga teen shock his head and sighed. "Women are too prideful about themselves. That will be your down fall in the future..."

"What'd you say?!" Ino screamed angrily while trying to reach the long hair boy. Fortunately, Julia held onto the collar of her t-shirt to restrain her from annihilation of the Hyuuga genius. Ino, on the other hand, was the extreme hot head who seemed she wanted to hurt everybody who defied her.

"He meant to say," Nara Shikamaru stated, stopping the Yamanaka from her slaughter. "That woman are troublesome to deal with." Like that helped at all.

With her hands on her hips for the second time that morning, Temari glared at the lazy Nara. "What the hell are you saying, Pineapple boy?"

This time, Kiba spoke up from the right side of Sasuke, who was still smirking at Hinata, and faced Ino. "It's nothing personal, Barbie; don't make a big deal out of it."

"Barbie?!" Ino screamed/repeated. Julia 'accidently' lost her grip on the collar of the shirt. All Ino's thoughts about the tall brunette went up in flames along with the thoughts Temari had with the Nara genius. 'Nobody calls Yamanaka Ino a BARBIE doll!'

Before anything else got too ugly, Julia stepped in, "We'd all better be going to class before we're late, ne?"

The rest grunted but complied with her wishes and proceeded to leave. Hinata turned and waved back to her friends as she heard Temari mumble something about Lunch and whatever. She stood next to her cousin, who took it upond himself to block her from the Uchiha's gaze. She thank god that it was Friday...Speaking of Friday...

"Neji-Niisan," Hinata called while turning her glare away from the Uchiha's back, though she knew he and the rest of the group were listening. "Are you and Natsumi-Neechan going to father's annual 'family' day thing today?"

Neji nodded but before he got to say anything, Naruto, who was surprisingly silent, hugged the tall Hyuuga genius. "Neji here is going to take us too! Isn't that great, Hinata-Hime?" Neji pushed the blonde off of him and wiped off the invisible dirt from his uniform.

Getting a better look at the guys, Hinata noticed that all the guys, unlike the notorious Akatsuki, had the boys' uniform but with their own personality in it also. Neji had his neat and tidy with his ever famous dark gray bandana around his forehead. Naruto had his black blazer unbuttoned with a bright orange shirt under it messily hanging. Lee's was just like Naruto's with a dark green shirt. The Aburame had another jacket over his already hot school jacket. Kiba, on the other hand, wasn't so modest. The dark haired teen hand his blazer collar up and unbuttoned but with no shirt, showing his well-formed eight pack. Gosh, he is hot! She looked to Sai and found that his uniform was buttoned but had a lighter black shirt under. Gaara and Kankuro's uniform was like Naruto's and Lee's, but with their colors; red and light purple. Shikamaru seemed like he didn't care about what he looked like and it said that from what he looked like; blazer messed up and wrinkled with his lazy face dropping, Choji's looked much like Shikamaru actually.

Then Sasuke. He looked extremely hot!

Err...'Did I just think that?'

Well, Uchihas are always hot. Even Itachi, Sasuke's older brother was very, very hot. She personally knew Uchiha Itachi from a movie they made toughter and even modeled with him from time to time. Anyway, back to the younger Uchiha heartthrob. Sasuke's uniform was much like Kiba's, but he did have a dark blue shirt under and the Uchiha fan on his back. His naturally messed up hair was even messier than before, Hinata noticed, proably because of her. 'Stupid...hot...idiotic...handsome...Uchiha.'

"Yeah, that'll be great," Hinata said with little feeling. Her cousin seemed to notice then leaned down to her ear, "Do they know about Hanabi-Sama?" The heiress shook her head for her answer.

"That's lovely," He scoffed. "Should I bring them anyway? They were bound to find out through Sasuke anyhow," Neji offered as some sort of agreement. While the other guys, excluding Sasuke who had his own bubble around him, had puzzled expressions.

"What are you two talking about?" asked Lee, bumping into Neji after he almost hopped his way between the Hyuuga cousins.

"It's none of your concern, Lee." Neji glared at his green friend then back to Sasuke. "I'm still surprised that Sasuke hasn't told you a-"

"As am I that you haven't told them, Hyuuga," Sasuke barked lowly while glaring at the taller male. How dare Neji, he popped Sasuke's no-talky bubble!

Neji glared right back, "It isn't my place to discus Hinata-Sama's privet life, Uchiha." His own voice hinting somewhat of annoyance and irritation.

Sasuke and Neji always had heated blood for each other, no matter how much they respected each other. In Neji's eyes, Sasuke was just some spoiled little Uchiha gaki. And in Sasuke's eyes, Neji was a blind Hyuuga who didn't give a damn about anybody other than himself.

Of course, they both were very wrong about both assumptions.

But then again, they left out that they are too prideful to admit that fact.

Hinata sighed and closed her eyes. Today was going to be hell. And when she got to Konan's, her aunty is going to have hell to pay for it too. That wasn't a threat; that's a promise. Of course she couldn't wait to see her daughters' glowing face when her daddy comes to see her...

The singer was pulled out of her dream land when a long arm dropped around her shoulders and dragged her to the right. Naruto practically pushed her into the closed door, if it wasn't for Sasuke she would have went face first into it.

"JIRAYA-SENSEI!! YO OLD MAN! WE GOTS A NEWBI HER'E SO BE NICE, YOU PERVERT!" Naruto yelled into the filled class room.

Sasuke rolled his eyes while running a hand thru his naturally sexy hair. Hinata, too, couldn't help but laugh on the inside at how idiotic he was being. That was, until he 'accidently' trailed a finger up her spine, feeling her tense. As Sasuke walked by to his seat, his smirk was evident, even when his back was turned to her.

'That bastard...Well, two can play at your little 'game', Uchiha Sasuke.'


Ino mindlessly chewed on her wad of Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum, her favorite. She sighed and combed through her short blonde locks with her fingers. Math was a real pain in her ass. Though she was good and able to solve almost anything that they threw at her, she still hated listening to them talk on and on. So, she settled for rating the guys on their hotness from one to ten. Her topaz blue eyes scanned over them thoughtfully.

'Hmm...I love his hair; 7. He's got mussels; but his face, oh lord. He's a 4. Eww, that guy is a -2. Hn, he's ok, I guess; 6 and a half. Oh-la la! Brown hair, hawt body, brown eyes! That's my kind of gu--...Wait, that's the guy who called me Barbie!! He's in this class?!...But if anything, he's a 12!!'


"So when do you think Natsumi-San will be here?" TenTen asked as she and Julia maneuvered to get to their seats.

Propping her pimped out Akatsuki shoes on the desk in front of her, Julia waved her hand in the air. "I give it five seconds," She said with no worries at all.

Soon enough, the door banged open and in bounced Natsumi. "Ahaha! Yeah, yeah, I'll catch you on the flip side, Minato!" Then slammed the door in a tall, really pissed off blonde's face. "PWND!" She yelled and laughed, walking to Orochimaru and throwing the note somewhere on his desk. "That guys a riot! Whoa." Natsumi wiped a tear from her eyes.

TenTen looked back to the older Uchiha, "Minato?"

The Uchiha snickered. "Principal. They seem to never agree on anything. I think Minato hates Nat and I...No one really cares. He's also Naruto's father."

"Ah."

"Miss. Hyuuga. You may be late but do not disturb my class again. Sit and behave." Orochimaru glared at her back as the Hyuuga walked to her seat.

"I think I'll do whatever I damn well please."

"Excuse me?"

"I said, I am horribly sorry and I would never purposely disrupt your humble class. I am honored to be here. I thank you," The young Hyuuga retorted with sarcasm while rolling her shinny eyes and stealing gum from a random purse from the left side of her. The owner of the purse didn't say anything, fearing the Hyuuga's wrath.

"...Don't do it again, Miss Hyuuga, or a week's detention. Miss Uchiha, feet off of the desk," The Science teacher hissed.

Julia rolled her eyes and sighed heavily. "They like being on the desk," She challenged.

"They should not be there. You of all people should know that by now. This is the middle of the school year."

"They. Like. Being. Here. Don't question my feet, dude."

"Miss Uchiha, you are to address your teachers with respect; we are not your 'dudes'."

"Hold up right there, playah." That's when she stood and they both went on into a full fight with words. Julia was winning until Orochimaru ordered Kabuto to call the schools' security to escort Julia to the office.

Natsumi got her things, which was TenTen's things, and dragged TenTen with her and Julia, straight to the principals' office. The school guard sighed as Natsumi and Julia greeted him informally. Ibiki followed the teens and looked at the younger brunet squashed between the older girls with a confused expression.

TenTen sighed to herself. 'This is going to be one hell of a school year. I can already tell...'


'Ugh! This is sooo boring!! I hate history!' Sabaku no Temari smacked her head against the wooden desk repetively. She only stopped when she felt one of her pony tails coming loose.

Listen to this...Asuma guy was hell. He wasn't boring but he jumped around the room like some kind of ball, trying to energize his kids. It worked for a little while, and then it just got to a point where it was downright annoying. Not wanting to stay in the class any longer, Temari raised her hand and smiled politely as Asuma looked at her.

"May I be excused to the bathroom, please?" Blinking, her teacher tossed her a hall pass and shoed her out of the class.

Gladly, she walked out of the room in a normal pace. Looking back, her eyes met Hyuuga Neji's questionable glance. Temari brushed it off and continued walking. The school was big, at least to her. Being a small town girl with no big city lights, Temari wasn't all that familiar with the size. Even coming from a world-known band. Coming from around a random corner, she noticed TenTen's back with Julia and Natsumi briskly dragging her with a large security guard walking with them. She turned down another hall, finally finding the restroom at the end of the hall. Just as her shoes crossed the threshold of the girls' restroom, she heard a familiar sigh.

"Pineapple boy?" Temari called into the blue colored bathroom. After looking to the left then to the right, she stepped timidly into the room.

There was a shuffling noise followed by lazy footsteps. Nara Shikamaru pulled her deeper into one of the bigger stalls at the far end of the room. "Blondie. What are you doing out of class?"

She huffed, "I should be asking you that same question." Then swung the pass in his face. "Went touring the campus. Never know what you might find, ne?"

Then, to the blondes' surprise, he lifted up a cigar, placed it in his mouth and inhaled. He exhaled slowly then stopped once her hand shot out and crushed it in her palm. "What's your problem?" Shikamaru sighed.

Temari hit him the side of his head with her hand. "What the hell is wrong with you? Smoking? And in school, nonetheless! Are you out of your mind! This shit could give you lung cancer!!" In his palm was the pack of cigars. Soon, it was in her hand and she crushed those too.

"I need my smokes every once in a while."

"No. You don't. You can talk out your problems."

"...So you're one of those girls? The ones who like to 'talk about their problems and listen to other people'? You want me to talk to you about my problems?"

"Hell no. Who the fuck said anything about that?! I don't want to hear your problems! The world doesn't revolve around you!"

Shikamaru sighed as Temari went full on into a rant about smoking and the negatives. But one line quickly got his attention: "...I don't date smokers! And I don't want to, so don't do it!" She obviously would have stopped herself if she wasn't in the core of a story that was about one of her many friends that was a smoker since...young. Hell, he wasn't even listening. Though, he had a feeling that form this point on they were closer. No questioning it...She was pretty. And too troublesome to ignore.

'A really long school year indeed.'
