Tap. Tap. Tap.

My shoes tapped along the empty floor of the corridors. The only weight in motion that was placed on the floor was nobody else but me.

I tapped along the corridor, looking around lazily. Why should have I bothered on looking for her if I knew enough for her to come to me herself? We were in the same class, obviously I would meet her sooner or later. I finally reached my class doors and sighed deeply. My school bag and jacket over my shoulder, I opened the doors.

Kakashi, who seemed to be in the middle of one if his interesting to death lectures suddenly froze over his book and looked up at me. He remained silent as I walked inside the classroom and placed myself on the small, wooden chair. The whole class was silently watching my every move, every gesture. The little mesmerized eyes of the girls behind me were stuck to me as Kakashi returned to his book and began reading again. I didn't even know what he was reading or even what the subject was. All I was focused on was to see the new girl.

And there she was. Sitting next to the window on the other side of the class. She was looking out of the window that was a bit further from her, therefore her head was tilted upwards and I would see her profile clearly. Her lips were perfect and her long eyelashes seemed to catch the strokes of sunlight that caressed them.

I gaped at her for some time. My eyes brushed against her figure, her bright red hair, her green eyes as they moved upon me. I gasped silently and got a bit embarrassed about being busted, but grinned at her anyways.

Her eyes studied me indifferently, then she looked back at the window. She didn't even flinch at my sight. For a minute I was shocked. My gaze froze on her, but I wasn't really focusing anymore. I then realized that maybe my grin lost it's power. It always brought girls down to their knees, begging me for mercy. I decided to try it out and caught the eye of some random with short black hair and black eyes. She was of average beauty and was really concentrated on the lesson, but when she realized I was looking at her, she froze and stared back getting redder and redder.

I grinned at her. She opened her mouth slightly and began to tremble. She then looked away, red as blood.

I frowned in confusion. No girl could have resisted his grin. No girl could have not shown even a slight sigh of admiration.

Unless the new girl wasn't a girl…

No. Her boobs were surely real. I eyed her figure once more, almost drooling. That girl was definitely something. And it seemed like not only on the outside. I looked behind me and saw Sasuke, also looking at her. His gaze was a bit washed off, like he watched her for a long time and couldn't look away, but still watched her intensively. I frowned. The girl seemed to lack any sort of interest in either of us. Has she been warned? Or is she just not interested yet? Or maybe she is interested but she doesn't want to show it or it would break her cool?

I shook my head slowly, almost unnoticeably and looked at Kakashi-sensei who was just about finishing his lecture.

"And there the Great War ended. And what ends brings life to something new." He said and snapped his book closed. "That's about the Great Ninja War. Now, I'll give you a few work sheets and you'll have to answer the questions about the lecture. No excuses." On the last two words the tall man with silver hair looked over at me. I shrugged and leaned back in my chair.

Sasuke's P.o.V

How… how could she just ignore me so indifferently, so naturally. She didn't even break a sweat. I watched her, curious about what her secret was. She seemed to go through something that I shouldn't understand, something that she wouldn't want me to know.

However, no matter how embarrassing or how intimate this secret would be, I wanted to find out what it was.

A piece of paper landed on my desk. I managed to pull my eyes away from her and looked down. I cussed under my breath. I didn't hear any word from Kakashi-sensei's reading. I didn't even realize what it was about. I sighed and looked around. On my right I noticed a girl with short black hair and black eyes that seemed to be blushing a bit.

"Hey." I whispered to her. She straightened suddenly and looked at me. Her cheeks got even redder. "Could you help me with this?" I pointed at the piece of paper.

I heard a loud sigh. "Since you're not capable of answering the questions by yourself, I'm going to pair you up… Ayane?"

I jerked my head towards the new girl. She looked at the teacher, expectantly.

"You'll be with Sasuke."

I smiled widely. I saw her tighten her fingers around her pencil, but she didn't move from her seat.

Kakashi was watching her. "Ayane?"

"Yes?" she said, her voice calm.

"Go to Sasuke."

"Why should I go to him? I think that he should bother moving his behind and show that he has some manners." She said, glaring back at me. I grinned, gathered my pencil, eraser and paper and walked over to the desk next to her.

After moving everyone, I joined my desk with hers. She looked down at the crack in between the round edges of the wooden surface and then at the page.

Her eyes started traveling along the paper. I watched her, mesmerized in my own world.

"Lets just get this over with…" she whispered to herself and then her eyes locked with mine. Her eyes were so green, how was that even possible.

"Read question number one." She said to me and looked back at the paper. I mentally shook my head and looked down at my paper.

"How did the Second Hokage die?" I read out loud. I waited until she would say something, but she remained silent, so I looked up at her to find her looking at me. She had an encouraging look on her face. "Uhm… I don't know."

She sighed. "The Second Hokage died by sacrificing himself to let him teammates escape while they were trapped by the Kinkaku Force."

I nodded slowly and my eyes returned to the paper. "What is the Kinkaku force?"

"The Kinkaku Force were a group of at least twenty skilled shinobi from the Kumogakure." She answered another question. I looked up at her. Through the whole lesson she didn't seem to pay attention to what Kakashi-sensei was saying. She all the time was looking out the window and seemed to be stuck in her own world.

"Listen I don't want to do your work for you so how about you try to answer some of your questions yourself." She said, grabbing her pencil and writing on the paper. Her hand smoothly stroked the paper creating perfect little letters.

I nodded quickly and turned to the paper. I wrote down the answers she told me and thought over the answers to the rest.

I couldn't get any of them.

After a while I heard her sigh next to me and her pale fingers snatched the paper from my desk. She then copied her answers on to my paper, her head moving from one side to the other. Finally she was done. She gave me back the paper, not looking at me.

I looked at her work. Her imitation of my handwriting was almost perfect.

"I'll now collect the papers." Kakashi-sensei announced. "Make sure you write your name on top of the page."

After giving him the papers, she quickly gathered her belongings and stood up. She Looked somewhere behind me and smiled. She waddled over to the doors and looked back. Miharu, Konorai and Choco joined her and they all looked back at me.

I rubbed the back of my head.

Narrator's P.o.V

They waddled through the corridor, for the first time in their whole school life having everyone's eyes on them. Was it because of the original looks of their new member or did they suddenly became more noticeable because they were laughing?

"His face was priceless." Kono laughed. They walked along the corridor, pushing each other onto the sides. Miharu kept a straight face but still pushed her friends aside as they walked on.

"He deserves much more…" Ayane muttered as they stopped laughing and calmed down a bit. They walked in silence, all looking in different directions.

"Yo!" They heard a sharp voice. They stopped and turned around. Karin, Sakura and Ino stood in front of them. Ayane crossed her arms over her chest and eyes them.

Karin, who stood in the middle, stepped out of her little group and glared at Ayane.

"Listen, kid." She started. Ayane rose a single red eyebrow. "I'm going to say it once and once only. Don't get close to Sasuke, understand? He's mine… I mean, ours." She added as she looked back at her friends.

She then smiled triumphantly. However, her smile broke down as she heard the girl in front of her chuckle.

"Well, that's a disappointment. I'm not in the last bit interested in him." She said and turned around to continue her catwalk. That completely caught Karin off guard. She tightened her fists and scratched her teeth against each other. Who did that girl think she was? Nobody speaks to Karin like that. She turned around and pulled her friends after her.

Everybody watched as the girls walked towards the lunch hall, trying to swing their hips in the motion their new friend did. The boy's looks clearly showed that they were successful. The students that stood in the corridor suddenly stopped what they were doing and gaped at the four that smoothly rushed through the air.

"What are they staring at?" Choco said, slightly blushing. She didn't like being the center of attention, she never did. She always liked standing in the corner and watching everybody and slowly gaining more knowledge about the situation. She was always mistaken for tough and cool because she barely ever spoke and didn't show her shyness, therefore people avoided her or just plainly ignored her.

"Us." Ayane said, trying to cover her smirk behind her thick red hair. The three girls looked at her, trying to find in her the reason for the hidden mysterious note that they noticed in her voice, however found nothing.

"I wonder what's for lunch." Konorai breathed, running her hand through her brown hair.

Her question was soon answered as they stepped in front of the big doorless entrance to the Lunch hall. On the right was a snack bar, closed at this time, and on the left was the menu. Konorai ran her finger through the page and said out loud.

"Sushi."

The girls didn't say anything as Konorai looked back at them. They looked at each other and walked into the lunch hall.

"Well, that just completely startled me." Ayane said, sarcastically. They all chuckled and grabbed the white trays that were placed neatly on the metal stands.

Sasuke's P.o.V

With my hands hidden in my pockets, I stormed through the corridor. My eyes on the blue and white floor, I didn't notice anything in front of me. People always moved aside anyway, whenever I passed by.

I was just about to make another dazzling step when I bumped into somebody.

I took a step backwards, rubbing my chest with my right arm. My face was cold and angry, trying to hide the pure shock that has built inside me.

The red hair and pale skin reminded me of today's morning, however the red hair wasn't as red at hers. The pale skin wasn't as pale as hers. His was more… yellow than snow white.

His brown eyes watched me as I watched him. His emotionless face building irritation in me, I glared at him and passed him, pushing him slightly with my shoulder.

I heard Kankuro hiss at me. I left him and his younger brother behind me.

I walked on towards the cafeteria, a couple of girls gasping as they saw me.

I still remembered how I was so uninterested in girls, so annoyed by their adoration. I was only focused on one thing – to kill Itachi. I thought that if I would only concentrate on that, I would accomplish my desired outcome.

However, after one confrontation with him, I realized that whatever I would do, there would still be a great chance of me getting killed. Therefore I decided to live my life the best way I could and enjoy it as much as possible. When I'd finish school and nobody wiould be interested in my life and future anymore, I would run away from Konoha and train with Orochimaru and gain enough strength to surely kill Itachi.

I smirked to myself.

I entered the lunch hall and grabbed my tray. I looked around at all of the people that eyed me, expecting me to sit with them.

I joined the line and grabbed some pieces of sushi and walked towards the table I always occupied.

"Yo." Naruto dropped his tray onto the table and collapsed on his seat. He seemed to big on the small chair.

"Mhmm…" was all that came out of me in response.

"Hey, how about we make a few things clearer and harder, hmm?" Naruto said, his grin looking slightly evil. All I did was blink. "Ok, so if one of us wins, he will have one night with her and one night only. Then you CANNOT have a relationship with her."

For a second I wondered why at first he used the term 'he' and then 'you', but waved that away and nodded.

"I'm just giving the winner an opportunity to have a little fun." Naruto said, grabbing his chop sticks.

I nodded once again and ate as well.
