Last time on 'And The devil Marches On'


"Okay but no more touching! Got it? I've already got people asking about the hickey." I warned. He flinched and looked around worriedly.
"Deal… but who else did you tell?" He asked.
"Just Sasuke and Kiba." I said. He looked fearfully at Sasuke, who was currently glaring at him, and he sunk into his seat until only his head was visible.
"Okay! If everyone's ready! Let's begin!!" Orochimaru said and immediately went to chatting with Sasuke, and the Uchiha ignored him completely.
I'm confused… wasn't Orochimaru-sensei supposed to explain the assignment we should be doing?

Chapter 6

Once the bell rang for next period I stopped talking to Sai to gather my notebook and stuff my pencil in my pocket. We had been busy making u pick up lines and shit while Oro-sensei was busy flirting with Sasuke. We even wrote down a couple of lines Oro-sensei used. I snickered as I watched Sasuke bolt towards the door, with a persistent Orochimaru following him. I wasn't even out the door yet before I heard fangirls squealing. I could guess that Sasuke was being attacked right about now. But he isn't getting any help from me this time! No sir-ee! That bastard has to say thank you for the last time I saved his scrawny ass!

"Naruto." I turned on my heels and looked to see who called me. I saw Shikamaru and that chubby kid that he paired with for science exit the classroom and come walking towards me.

"Hey Shika! Hey…. Uuumm…" I looked at the other kid questioningly.

"Chouji. Akamichi Chouji." He introduced and held out a hand. I took it happily and firmly shook his hand.

"Well hello Chouji! My name's Naruto! I hope we can be good friends!" I said with a grin on my face. He smiled calmly back and we let go of each other's hands.

"Troublesome people… What do you have this period, Naruto?" Shikamaru asked. I took out my schedule and looked down it quickly.

"I have… Lunch! Yosh!! Hey, can you point me in the direction of the cafeteria…?" I asked.

"Why don't you just come with me; we have Lunch now too." He suggested.

"Sure, but what about—" I stopped talking when I realized that the Chouji kid wasn't there anymore. I spun around in a complete circle to try and spot him but the guy was no where in sight. Man he's fast for a fat guy. Didn't even see him leave!

"He's already at the cafeteria. He left as soon as you said the word 'lunch'. Trouble some…" Shikamaru grumbled and started walking off. I stood there trying to register everything Shikamaru had said. Yes my brain is quite slow… But moving on.

Hey where'd Shika go…? Oh there he goes! Hey wait up!

As I ran to catch up with Shika I didn't notice the glares that I was getting in the hall from a group of guys.

((At The Cafeteria!))

I almost gasped in amazement when I entered the cafeteria. I knew this school was huge and had two stories, and the halls were shiny and shit but the cafeteria just blew my mind! It was definitely shiny, but it wasn't blinding, and there was a water fountain in the middle of the cafeteria and many… many tables surrounding. There was also a short stairway that led to a higher portion of the large room. The ceiling was at least 30 feet high too! And there were two separate lines that led to food; I just didn't know which one to go on though.

"The right line is for salads and sandwiches and the left one is for hot food. I'm going to sit on the table up the stairs and to the right. Everyone else will be there. Go get your food and come sit with us." Shikamaru explained with a yawn and walked off slowly. I watched him walk away for a second before turning and walking to the left line of people who were waiting for the hot food. As I stood on the line I could see a piece of paper taped to the wall. It said 'lunch menu' so I shrugged and looked at it.

Today's lunch

Hot dog (with ketchup or mustard)

Hamburger/Cheeseburger

Chicken nuggets

Ramen

Milk or Orange Juice

'Oh… My… GOD!! They have ramen!!' was all that went through my mind when I finished reading the menu.

"Hey move your ass, you twit! There're other people on line too y'know!" I turned to see who yelled at me so rudely, to see a girl there. She had her arms crossed and her hip jut out to the side in a preppy way. Her outfit consisted of a short, pretty (cough cough slutty) skirt with pink around the rim, a tight (cough slutty cough) shirt that was light pink and it said in the middle of it 'I Love Sasuke!!'. (I snickered mentally at that; Sasuke Fangirls… Moving on…) Her hair was even pink! It definitely looked dyed. And she had this evil glare aimed towards me, but I held it calmly.

"I'm sorry." I said through gritted teeth, and I turned to walk forward in the line, seeing as it actually was moving; slowly but surely.

"'bout time." She huffed and moved forward also. I could still feel her piercing green eyes burning at the back of my head.

"Bitch…" I muttered, loud enough for her to hear me. That's right, I'm picking a fight with a girl, and a preppy one at that, but I really don't care; she's being a snotty bitch, and someone needs to tell her off. I'm sure she probably gets everything she wants and thinks she's soooo popular.

"What did you call me you ugly piece of shit?!" she hollered and forcefully turned me around to face her. I frowned and shot back a glare of my own. Yep, she's definitely a bitch. But the girls in my other school would've started slapping me by now.

"I called you a bitch, but I don't think that's a strong enough word to describe what you are, you stuck up brat." I shot back. She raised her hand and was about to punch me, but someone called out to her.

"Hey forehead girl! Oh, what's wrong Sakura?" Another girl walked on the line, a confused expression on her face. She wore the same outfit as the pink haired girl but instead of it being pink it was blue, and she had long bleached blonde hair, and it looked dry and crunchy. She probably didn't take good care of it, or she straightens it way too much.

Look at me getting all judgmental! Those bullies' attitudes at my other school are starting to rub off on me! Man!

"This little fag is insulting me!" the girl named Sakura yelled and pointed towards me. The blonde girl rolled her eyes and then looked me up and down closely. I saw her scrunch up her nose in disgust.

"Ew… Why are you even talking to it? It's disgusting." She sneered and glared at me, along with her friend.

'It!?' Like I haven't heard that one before…

"I can't believe the principle would even let filth like this into our school. This school is for people with money, not hoboes like you." The blonde haired bitch continued. She had hit a sensitive nerve when she said that. I actually did have to live on the streets when I was little but that never stopped me!

Oh you have no idea how bad I wanted to beat them, but I didn't want to start a fight, especially with a bunch of girls. Jeez, they can be persistent and annoying, and they hold long grudges. Not a good thing…

"Hmph! Let's go to the other line Ino. I don't even want to be on the same line as him!" Sakura screeched and stormed away with Ino following behind.

"Tch… Girls…" I mumbled and turned back so that I could move up the line.

Yes I was next! Ramen here I come!! Yosh!

I ordered my food eagerly and snatched the tray that had the bowl of hot noodles along with a cold orange juice to wash it down with. I paid for it quickly and dashed towards the direction of the table Shikamaru had pointed to before. I could smell my precious ramen noodles and it was making my stomach growl in anticipation! I spotted Shikamaru waving his hand towards me lazily. I skipped over to him, though I was careful not to spill my precious Ramen.

I spotted Kiba and thought about sitting next to him, but then I remembered that he was mad at me and I decided to sit next to Shika instead. I sat down on his right, while Chouji was sitting on his left. The guy was chowing down on 3 bags of chips and he had food all around him! Jeebus that's a lot of food! I looked around the table and saw a couple of other kids I haven't met yet. I stared and I almost ran for my life when I saw this one guy sitting across from me… He was the exact replica of Gai-sensei!

"Uuuhh…" I said stupidly.

"Hello! My name Is Rock Lee!! Gai-sensei has told me that you will be joining us at the youth club after school! I'm so excited!" He shouted happily and he almost jumped across the table in order to hold my hands. I saw dramatic tears streaming down his face.

"Uuumm… Yeah. I don' think I'll be able to make it… Seeing as I have Detention today with Uchiha-sensei… But thanks for the offer Lee…" I said and snatched my hands back so that he wasn't touching me. His face fell and he looked really upset.

"Oh okay… Well you'll come tomorrow then right!?" He went right back to being energetic, and even I didn't have that much energy…

"Leave him alone Bushy-brows! Let him at least breath!" I heard Kiba shout and then whack The green clad boy upside the head, seeing as he was sitting next to him. I looked at Kiba gratefully.

"Hey Kiba did Akamaru find you! I would've helped him look for you but I had to go to Oro-sensei's class…" I said and I poked at my ramen with a fork to avoid eye contact with anyone.

"Oh yeah. He's under the table I saw him running around the halls, Mr. Pein was chasing him around. It was the funniest thing man! You should've been there! And I'm sorry I left early during Gym… I had to take care of something…" Kiba said and grinned at me. I smiled back, though it felt like my face would split in two. I was just glad that Kiba was still talking to me! To celebrate I started digging into my ramen hungrily. Slurping it up at lightning speed. Kiba chuckled at how fast I was eating, and the others seemed a little amazed that I hadn't choked yet.

"You wouldn't happen to be the one who gave Sai that black eye, would you?" Someone said, trying to start another conversation. I turned and looked over Shika's shoulder to see who had spoken. It was a girl. She had dark brown hair and it was up in two tight buns. She wore a plain kimono looking thing.

"How'd you know about that!?" Kiba said, and I was surprised.

"You were the one who did that!? Why?" I asked; a little shocked.

"Well he touched you… And… I kinda… Sorta wanted to kick his ass because of that…" Kiba said embarrassedly and I saw his cheeks go a little red.

"I thought you were mad at me because of that!" I said, finally understanding why Kiba was so upset.

"No!! Hell no! Why would I be mad at you!?" Kiba shouted.

"Tobi's a good boy!" I jumped at the sudden voice that was at my right. I turned to see a guy sitting next to me. He had scruffy dark brown hair, and he had an eye-patch over his right eye. He wore a black long sleeved shirt that had a dragon designed on the front, along with some dark blue jeans. When the hell did he get there anyway?

"Who…?" I started, but The guy answered before I could finish.

"My name's Tobi! I'm a good boy! Right?!" He shouted happily.

"Of course." I said and grinned at him, he smiled and glomped me.

"Troublesome… Tobi is a little older than the rest of us, but that's because he was left back… a lot." Shikamaru explained. "He's a lot different than the other Uchiha's here… If you hadn't already noticed."

"He's related to Uchiha-sensei!" I gasped. Everyone nodded.

"Yeah, Itachi, Sasuke, and Sai can be kinda mean to me." Tobi said sadly. "B-but Tobi's a good boy!"

"Wait, wait, wait! Sai, Uchiha-sensei, you, and Sasuke-teme, are all Uchihas…" I asked, trying to get everything straight.

"Yep that's pretty much it…" The brunette girl said and bit into her sandwich.

"And what's your name?" I asked curiously.

"Ten-ten." She said through a mouth full of food.

"It's rude to talk with your mouth full ten-ten…" I had to sort of stand to see over the others and spot the person who spoke. Wait… Long hair, creepy white eyes, snotty attitude… I've seen him before!

"Aren't you in my Gym class!?" I asked aloud.

"Yes, my name is Neji Hyuuga. My cousin Hinata is absent today but you will meet her tomorrow." He said and then didn't say anymore. Hmph… he's boring.

"Hey Naruto." I looked up to see Kiba pointing over to the middle of the cafeteria.

"yeah?" I asked while slurping up the last of my precious noodles.

"I gotta show you something. Come and sit next to me so I can show you." Kiba said and waved his hand for me to come over. I shrugged and settled down next to him. I felt a little nervous though, since we were sitting on a table that was up the stairs and right behind us was a railing. I saw Kiba Lean on the railing and look over the edge.

"You see all those tables down there?" He asked. I turned in my seat and rested my elbows on the railing so that I could look over it. It wasn't really really high up but it was high enough for you to see almost everyone on the bottom level of the large room.

"Yep" I said.

"Okay you see those guys over there?" He said and pointed towards a group of mean looking guys sitting at another table. "Those guys are the kind you'll want to stay away from. They're a little possessive of their 'territory' so if they find out that there's a new kid then they're gonna want to 'pay you a visit'. You won't get away from them without at least a broken leg. So what ever you do stay the hell away from them." Kiba warned. I nodded in understanding and took the time to memorize their faces so that I could keep a look out for them.

"Now. Those guys over there," Kiba said and pointed to a different table. I saw Sasu-teme there, along with Gaara, Zabuza, Sakura (the pink thing), Ino, and Kimimaru, but those were the only people I recognized.

"Those are the 'Popular' Kids. Or so they like to think. They all have their own little fanclubs going around the school. They alright, but just don't hang out with them too much, or else their attitudes will rub off on you… Especially Sasuke. Sakura and Ino used to be one of us, until they got picked into the Cheerleading team, after that they turned evil. And I saw that little spat you had with Sakura, way to go man! Nobody ever talks back to her anymore, you were amazing!" Kiba cheered and gave me a high-five.

"Alright, I also want to warn you about Oro-sensei, although you probably know not to be around him…"

I nodded immediately and scrunched up my face at the thought of him. He laughed at my reaction.

"I want you to also look out for Jaraiya-sensei, the sex addict, Kakashi-sensei, because he's also a pervert, and Kyuubi-sensei, because he has one hell of a temper. Kyuubi-sensei, is probably worse than Mr. Pein." I saw Kiba shiver in fear and I gulped nervously. I took out my Schedule and I sighed when I realized that I had all the teachers that Kiba just warned me about.

"Wait what about Deidara-sensei?" I asked. Kiba tapped his chin thoughtfully.

"Oh! Deidara-sempai is really cool! I have him 7th period!" I heard Tobi shout. I checked my schedule again and smiled.

"Me too!"

"Me three!!!!" I heard Lee shout and raise his hand up high.

"Great we can all pair up! And draw each other!" Tobi said excitedly.

I jumped in surprise when the bell suddenly rang.

Time for Jaraiya-Sensei's class!
