Chapter 4: Mess

"Sakura-chan?"

"Ahh, sorry I just… umm, I think I had a headache."

"You sure you're okay?" Tenten asked, placing her hand on Sakura's forehead. Sakura nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, probably just because of lack of sleep. My neighbours were so noisy. I can't even get a good night sleep."

Then she dragged her friends to the class.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the boys were still in the cafeteria. Sasuke was staring at Shino, who was typing something in his laptop, impatiently. The others were all unusually quiet. The memory about Sakura scolding Sasuke disturbed their minds.

"I got it!" Shino said as he stopped typing. The others immediately gathered in front of the laptop.

It was clear that Sasuke had asked Shino to hack into the school database. Although Sasuke was better at computer, followed by Neji, he usually had Shino to find the information about their next victim, namely Hatake Kakashi.

"Hatake Kakashi, age 26, he taught here 3 years ago but then he moved to the United States…"

"See! He really had taught here before!" Kiba shouted.

"Ah, just shut up!" Naruto replied. And in a second they had started another argument.

Shino looked at Sasuke, apparently asking if he should stop them. Sasuke, however shook his head and told him to continue.

"Hey, look, he wears the mask in his picture!" Chouji said.

"Too bad, I want to see his face."

"Really? I think he has beaver teeth or something that he has to cover it up."

"Oi, oi, I thought we were going to discuss about how to make him suffer NOT what's behind his mask," Neji said in an annoyed tone, making everyone shut up. Well, they knew what would happen if they pissed Hyuuga Neji off.

"How about his education?" Sasuke asked ignoring them. "Blank," Shino answered, "They didn't fill it. Seems they already guessed that we'll break into the database so they left most of the information blank."

Silence occurred again. No one dared to speak at the sight of pissed off Uchiha Sasuke and annoyed Hyuuga Neji. Except…

"Man, I can't believe that Haruno-girl would did that!" Kiba groaned. Actually, he didn't really have a point there. But Kiba just liked to say anything that crossed his mind especially when he was bored. Needless to say, that habit sometimes had caused him trouble.

Usually, Shino was the only one who willingly gave his time to give response to Kiba's chattering, though Kiba found this annoying. But this time, it was Sasuke who gave him the response.

"Hmph, it's not like I'll let her go with that," he said, folding his hands and gave Kiba his infamous shut-up-or-I'll-kill-you glare. Kiba took the message and sighed.

Naruto, who had been surprisingly quiet suddenly jerked out. "Oi, Sasuke, that's enough! She doesn't even know you and you've scared her enough!"

Sasuke glared at him, "So now it's your turn to scold me. I know you like that girl and that you had some useful information about her."

"What?! How could you figure out?"

"Idiot, you've just been tricked," Kiba said, "and I though you won't fall for it because you've fallen for it a lot of time."

"So, Naruto, mind sparing us with the info?" Sasuke said in a sly tone.

Naruto seemed to tremble a bit. After a minute of silence, suddenly he spoke up, sticking his tongue out, "Hah, like I would tell you anything!" And then he quickly ran out of the cafeteria leaving the others with a big question mark, "What the hell?"

"So, is there someone else who knows about her?" Sasuke asked calmly as if nothing had happened.

Shino nodded, "She's the only daughter of the president of Haruno Corporation. Quite a big company though not as big as yours and Neji's."

"Is that all?" Sasuke asked in disappointment.

"Wait, there's more. She got almost perfect in her final exam but it seems she wasn't really good at sport."

"Hmm… But the information we need is something like what she's scared of or something that could be used as blackmails."

"Well, if she comes from Haruno family, there's no wonder she scolded us. I heard from my uncle that they're really strict to her since she's the only heir of the company," Neji said without even looking at them.

"Yeah, she rarely spoke in class and always focused on the lessons. I heard no one knows what she's scared of," Kiba added.

"Hm, so the only option left is to ask that Ino."

"Stop it, Sasuke!" finally Shikamaru decided to joined in, "What's the matter with you today? It's not like you to pick on girls anyway."

Sasuke glared at Shikamaru in anger. Seemed like he had enough. He clenched his fist and got up, trying to punch him. However,

"Calm down, Sasuke!"

Neji suddenly got up and held his fist. He glared at Sasuke, signaling that what Shikamaru said was right. Sasuke then, loosen his fist and tuned back.

"Tch, fine."

Then he left without saying anything. While the rest of his group watched his back, breathing heavily (except Neji).

"Phew, it has been a long time since I saw him so enraged," Chouji said, wiping his sweat.

"Yeah, Neji, how could you just stay calm and have the guts to stop him?"

But the boy questioned just took his book and leave…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bell had rung since half an hour ago. But there was no sign that Kakashi would come to his class. And of course, his class turned into chaos again. No teacher bothered to come and told them to be quiet because everyone knew what would happen if they did so.

Sakura stared at the door impatiently. She took a quick glance at her watch.

Inner Sakura with veins popped on her forehead: 'What's taking him so damn long?! Ugh, how could someone like him become a teacher? I bet he will resign after a week… wait, he just taking the prank as an easy joke. Useless teacher…'

Sakura glanced at her seatmate, 'And I have this Mr. Oh-I'm-so-cool beside me.'

Sasuke had been quiet and looked annoyed since he entered the class. He didn't look at her even a glance and began staring at the window as he sat down.

At first, Sakura didn't bother, but after a few minutes she decided to speak up.

"Uchiha-kun, you look troubled. What's up?" She tried to be as friendly as possible. But her seatmate didn't give her any response.

"Hei, I said what's up."

A vein popped on her forehead. She then, approached him and spoke loudly near his ear, "Hellooo, I'm speaking to you!"

Which caused Sasuke to jerk out, holding his ear.

"What the hell?"

"Finally. Awake now, Uchiha-kun?"

"What do you want, Haruno?"

"Nothing. Just seeing the great Uchiha Sasuke staring at the window for approximately half an hour tiring me out."

"So?"

"I think I'll just wake you up."

"Hmph, just as I thought, you and that persistent Ino just the same, so annoying."

To Sasuke's surprise, Sakura put her hands on her waist and scolded him, "What?! I don't care if you call me annoying or what, but I'd never forgive you if you insult my best friend!"

"Well then, I just said it out loud, I hate anyone like you girls. You girls are just annoying, bossy, and selfish!"

"What?! Say that again and I will…"

"Will what? Kill me?"

"Why you?!"

In just a few minutes, the only noise inside class 10-7 was their argument. While the rest of the students stared at them, eyes twitched, with sweatdrops in silent.

Their argument would have last forever if only Kakashi hadn't come so sudden and said, "Well, what do we have here? A lover's quarrel."

Both Sakura and Sasuke immediately stopped and looked at the other directions, hiding the shades of pink on their cheeks. Then after a few seconds, they had calmed down and then they shouted, "We aren't!"

Kakashi grinned, "Oh really? You don't need to hide it you know. My, my, kids these days…"

Before Sakura and Sasuke could respond back, Ino and Naruto had already shouted back, "LIKE THEY SAID, THEY AREN'T!!!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After school at the schoolyard, Iruka was sitting on a bench, sighing. He was actually more worried about his ex-students, especially Naruto, then the teacher who was unfortunate enough to teach them.

Just then, he heard a chuckle. Iruka began to shiver as the chuckle became louder. He then began to search for the source, only to find Kakashi was hiding inside the bushes behind him, reading his perverted novel.

Iruka screamed. He felt relieved, surprised, and annoyed in the same time. At least it was Kakashi not ghost or monster. But then, who would expect him to be there? Not to mention the book he was reading, I mean, what kind of teacher read that book?

"Kakshi-sensei? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, sorry, they kicked me out from the teacher's office because I laughed too loud, so I decided to read here. By the way, though you know my name, I think I've never seen you around."

"Of course. I'm a junior high school teacher. My name is Umino Iruka."

"Oh, I see. Bye!" Kakashi waved his hand.

At first Iruka just stood there without saying anything. But then,

"Please wait!"

Kakashi turned, "What is it, Iruka-sensei?"

"I have something to tell you. Would you mind listening?"

Kakashi smiled, "Sure, why not?"
