Last time on And The devil Marches On…
"heh.. I guess I over reacted… I'm sorry… well, next time you have to stay after for detention with anyone, and I mean anyone Then just tell me and I'll be there for ya. Okay?" Kiba said.
"Well, that still doesn't mean you can go around touching him when ever you want to. He doesn't like it when you touch him like that, and if I see you do something like that again, then I will be adding more to match that black eye of yours." Saskue hissed.
"Okay kiddies, let's get to the pool, that is unless you're afraid of drowning." Anko-sensei said with an evil smirk.
ATdMO 17
Naruto's POV
"Okay so the rules are… No diving, no rough housing, no hitting, no shoving, no threatening people's lives, no running, and pretty much just don't kill eachother." Anko-sensei said to the long line of students and gave a glare towards Zabuza, Gaara, and the leader of that group of people who had kidnapped me up on the roof tops. I think they said his name was… uhhh… Fuwa… yeah that's it, the guys name was Fuwa! Figures…
"So basically we're not allowed to have any fun?" Gaara bit out with a tinge of sarcasm in his voice. Anko froze and she looked like she was about to beat the crap out of Gaara, but then she stopped, as if suddenly remembering that she was a teacher and if were to hurt a student then she would get fired.
Suddenly the speaker on the side of the building beeped, warning that someone was about to speak through it. Everyone stayed quiet
ANKO PLEASE REPORT TO THE MAIN OFFICE A.S.A.P. I REPEAT, ANKO PLEASE REPORT TO MAIN OFFICE!
Even though we were outside, past the football field, where the outside pool was located, we could here the person speaking clearly.
"Grah! What do those idiots want now?" Anko growled and was about to turn and walk back to the building but before she did she turned on her heel and glared at her students, making some of them shiver fearfully.
"Now, I'll be right back, and I don't want you going anywhere near the pool until I get back. If I see even a splash of water on anyone then they will be expelled!" Anko said threateningly as she turned back around and walked in the direction of the football field and to the school.
Once she was out of sight everyone began chatting and walking around to be with friends. Some people were even lying on their backs, lounging in the sun. I looked around for my friends and spotted them all in a small circle on the other side of the pool.
I spotted Sai and Sasuke having a glaring match, while Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, and Chouji were watching the two Uchiha's glare, then Kiba took out a coin, and so did the others. I'm guessing they were betting on how long they would last. Neji, Tenten and another girl i haven't met yet were having their own conversation. The girl had long dark purplish hair and her eyes were the same creepy white as Neji's, telling me that the two were related. I also noticed Lee doing random push ups.
They looked like they were having fun, so I was about to go walk over, but couldn't…
Not that I didn't want to go over there, because believe me, I really did… but the hands on my shoulders made it kinda hard to walk forward, especially when said hands were holding on with a very strong grip.
"And where do you think you're going you little slut?" I turned my head sharply to glare at the man who just spoke. He was a tough looking guy with shaggy black hair and evil looking grey eyes who was holing onto my right shoulder with one hand. I recognized him to be one of the guys on the roof top, I specifically remember him being the one I spit on… I'm sure he didn't forget about that.
I then looked to my left to glare towards the other guy, but then I stopped when I saw the dirty blonde hair and the evil smirk of Fuwa. I just know from his smirk that he's planning to do something to me, but he wouldn't really do anything in front of all these other students would he?
"What do you want this time? I already told you that I'm not leaving the school, so you can just shove off!" I snapped, but this only amused the older and taller boy even more.
"Ooohh, he's seems to have quite a mouth, doesn't he, Kanman?" The grey eyed guy nodded and he smiled an evil smile just like his leader.
"Y'know… there are other ways of making you leave…" Fuwa said softly as he leaned towards me. I narrowed my eyes at him and tried to brush his hand off my shoulder, but he just gripped my wrist with his other hand, and Kanman did the same.
"What are you talking about? If I don't want to leave then you can't make me." I hissed at him.
"And to think I thought you at least had some brains… Didn't you hear what Anko said before she left?" Fuwa said softly then his hand that was on my shoulder was now gripping under my arm.
Kanman cleared his throat and said in a voice that sounded slightly like Anko-sensei.
"'If I see one drop of water on anyone then they'll be expelled!'"
That's when it hit me! Yes I'm slow, but when I finally got it, my eyes widened and I looked over the large Olympic sized pool, which reached about 10 feet deep, fearfully. I'd never told anyone this, but… I can't swim! I'd never actually been in a pool before!
Sure, Iruka brought me to the beach once but I never actually went in the water… and sure, Iruka offered to teach me, b-but I didn't want to, and now I really wish I had taken up his offer because now I was being pushed closer and closer to the pool of dooom!
I spread my feet out and tried to stop them from pulling me any closer but my feet just dragged helplessly against the hard ground. I winced when I felt my feet getting scratched up but I tried desperately to get out of their grips. I'm surprised no one noticed that I was being dragged to my death! I guess I have no choice…
Didn't really want to get anyone else involved but since I was now being hovered over the water by the two evil guys…
I took in a deep breath…
Sasuke's POV
My black emotionless eyes glared into the pair of black emotionless eyes that were Sai's. Ours eyes stayed locked on each other's, neither backing down from the challenge. My eyes narrowed… so did his…
Okay now I'm bored… but I won't look away! That'll only prove that I am weaker than him! I don't know how… but it will!
Okay he frowned… So will I.
I brushed a raven colored bang from my sight, still not looking away from Sai.
"Dude… they haven't blinked yet! It's been two minutes already!" I heard Kiba shout to the others.
"Yeah… do you think they might be robots? That would explain why I've never seen them laugh or be happy…" I almost rolled my eyes at what Chouji said, but I chose against it, because that would make me loose eye contact with Sai, who was now smirking at me.
"Who do you think will look away first?" Shino asked randomly. Kiba immediately pulled out his water-proof wallet, which he carried around with him everywhere, ever since he got it from Shikamaru for his last birthday.
I could hear him digging through his wallet and coins giggled loudly.
"I bet you guys two bucks that Sasuke looks away first!" Kiba shouted while taking out that amount of change.
"Well I bet that Sai will look away first!" Chouji said, though he didn't have any money with him so he just said that if someone else won then he would owe the person the money.
"I think Sasuke will." Shino said softly taking out two dollars.
Gee, I'm glad my friends have a lot of faith in me…
The three betters looked over to Shikamaru, who still hadn't guessed yet. He let out a long sigh and mumbled a 'troublesome.'
"I think they'll both look away at the same time." Shikamaru said and yawned into his hand, while making a mental note to always carry around cash.
I was tempted to roll my eyes again, but didn't, afraid that I might loose to Sai, who was stil smirking!
It had been another 5 minutes, and Kiba was about to just give up on the bet, seeing as neither me nor Sai still hadn't even blinked, but suddenly a very familiar voice started screaming.
"LET ME GO YOU STUPID OAFS!"
Sai and I both snapped our head towards the pool, much to Shikamaru's delight.
Everyone's attention turned to where Naruto was and I felt my blood boil when I saw that two guys had Naruto by his arms and were holding him up above the water. I was about to run and help him, but It was too late, both guys let go and Naruto went plummeting into the water, in the deep end, no less. I sighed in irritation. This was not going to bode well with Anko-sensei….
Everyone, including Hinata, Neji and Tenten began walking over to where the two guys were. They were both laughing and pointing down to where Naruto was still under the water. Gaara made it to them before us though. The redhead grabbed the dirty blonde hair of one of the guys and he began dragging him backwards until he fell. Gaara stood menacingly over the boy and began beating the crap outta him. The other guy was about to try and help his friend, but Neji stopped him and together, Gaara and Neji beat them both to a pulp.
I walked over to the edge of the pool and looked down, spotting Naruto's body floating to the bottom of the pool. But he wasn't moving… Panic started to spread through me when I realized that. I was waiting for the blonde to start swimming up and throwing curses at the two bullies, but he wasn't! How long has he been down there!? Can't the baka swim!?
Everyone had gathered around the pool by now to see what was happening, but I didn't even notice as I dove into the cold water. I kept my eyes closed for a moment before opening them. The chlorine stung my eyes but I ignored it as I spotted Naruto. The boy was curled up into a loose ball at the very bottom of the pool.
I quickly swam to Naruto, thrusting my legs and arms against the water. Once I was near the blonde I noticed that he had his eyes shut tightly and he was shaking his face was turning red.
I swiftly wrapped an arm under his knees and another arm around his back, lightly gripping his shoulder, before kicking off the bottom of the pool, towards the surface. Once my head broke the surface I gasped for breath and I kicked my legs strongly in the direction of the side of the pool, while taking care to keep Naruto's head above the water. Once I reached my destination, Lee and Kiba both took one of Naruto's arms and helped me bring lift the blond out of the water and lay him on the side.
My body felt weak as kneeled beside him and looked down at Naruto's motionless body. Everyone had formed a crowded circle around us, and I could hear them whispering and asking if he was dead. That's when I realized… that he was still holding his breath!! I reached over and slapped the baka's blonde head while screaming, "Breath you idiot!!"
As soon as my voice left my mouth, Naruto's eyes snapped open and he opened his mouth letting out a ragged breath, then he took in a deep breath and let it out, repeating the act a few more times before sitting up.
He looked around the crowd, taking in the worried and fearful looks. It was completely silent as we all watched the blond look at everyone. After a minute his big blue eyes finally looked into mine and I saw him smile.
"You look funny when your hair isn't shaped like a duck's ass." He said, his smile broadening. As soon as those words left him he was glomped by Kiba, Lee, Tenten, and Sai. Nobody else glomped him though, because: either they didn't really know him, or they weren't the glomping type.
I let a small rare smile spread across my lips, but it vanished immediately when Anko-sensei and, surprisingly, Orochimaru came walking towards the group of students.
"What the fucking hell is going on here?!"
