Suddenly Kayuri snapped out of her trance, grabbed the sidekick from her sister's hand and snapped it shut.
"Hey, I never got to read who it's from." Aiko whined.
Kayuri blushed, and muttered briskly "That was the point… never you mind, little sis,"
"Whaa?" Aiko gaped, making her utter disappointment clear. "Oh, come on, that's no fair!"
"Stop your whining… it doesn't concern you." Kayuri murmured briskly, not making eye contact.
"Fine…" Aiko sighed, "If that's how you feel, I'll drop it."
The brown haired sister knew full well that she would get no information by persisting. She would find out sooner or later, of that Aiko was relatively certain.
Kayuri looked at her watch. "You know we're going to be uber late if we don't hurry, right?"
"You're the one who needs to hurry up!" Aiko laughed, suddenly sprinting ahead of her sister. "Slow poke!"
"Oh, no you don't!" Kayuri ran to catch up, grinning.
"Race ya!" Aiko challenged, hurriedly opening the front door to the isolated dorm and rushing out.
"You know I can run faster!" Kayuri yelled out, attempting to catch up.
"But you're wearing heels," Aiko laughed and ran even faster.
Kayuri growled and took off her heels, stuck them in her bag and bolted, and was neck in neck with her sister within seconds.
Then,
"Miss, what's your name, one wearing no shoes!" said a random adult. On closer inspection, they appeared to be a teacher, and he looked… different. You know, the "his hair is silver and defies gravity" kind of different. Actually, his hair looked a bit like a mop, but spikier. He was wearing a kind of surgical mask and his amazing anti-gravity hair-style managed to cover his right eye. He was wearing boring teacher-like clothes: plain button up shirt, tie and boring black pants. His boring teacher shoes were amazingly shiny, however…
"Miss…?" He started.
"Kosora, sir." Kayuri said looking up at him innocently.
"Miss Kosora, where are your shoes?" He asked, crossing his arms in that annoying teacher-authority kind of way.
Kayuri pulled them out of her bag. "Here they are sir, as you can see they are rather painful looking 4 inch heels, and my sister here challenged me to a race to assembly. I couldn't let her win could I? Have I mentioned that our grandfather is the principal of this shindig?" Kayuri said, with he eyes wide, and innocent. Aiko recognised it as her best puppy-dog eyes – ones that could rival Brendon Urie's. Aiko also noticed her tone, it was semi-threatening. It came out most of the time when she sang with double meanings. The question was, would it work on this bizarre looking teacher? He looked at Kayuri suspiciously, "What's your first name, Miss Kosora?"
"Kayuri, sir. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Professor Kakashi." He unfolded his arms and half turned to leave. "Well, seeing as you have your shoes, and as long as you put them back on now, you may go."
'And I won't need to worry about getting fired.' Seemed to be the unsaid thought there. The three boys walked up behind the girls as they stared blankly and aimlessly after the mop-haired teacher.
"Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto blinked at the teacher as he walked off. "What's he doing outside before assembly?"
"Dunno and don't care." Aiko stretched her arms to try and relieve the ache in her shoulders. "Probably looking for random mischief makers like Kayuri to lecture for not wearing shoes." Aiko chuckled as her sister scowled.
"You got in trouble already?" Naruto raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but laugh when Kayuri pouted angrily in response – it made her look like a little kid.
"I couldn't help it! I wasn't gonna let Aiko win!" Kayuri sighed. Sasuke looked amused, Naruto chuckled and Gaara didn't seem to be listening.
"We have about two minutes to get to assembly." The red head informed them boredly. Naruto, Kayuri and Aiko looked at him with faces of horror.
"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT EARLIER?!" Kayuri shrieked, and she bolted in through the doors they had been standing near, the other four following closely behind. Naruto then took the lead, guiding the sprinting girls to the school's auditorium. They arrived just at the start of the national anthem; so thankfully, they managed to slip into their seats relatively unnoticed.
Aiko and Kayuri quietly argued about who would have won the race earlier, muted hissings lasting the duration of the anthem until their uncle appeared on the stage.
"Morning, all!" He waved at the audience, some of who mumbled something or other in response. He continued on to do a big speech about his hopes for the year and how wonderful all the students were (he later revealed that the whole thing was improvised). The assembly soon ended and students began to move off.
"Did they say anything important?" Kayuri asked. Aiko snorted back laughter, wondering what could've possibly given her sister the impression that she'd been listening either.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Aiko scratched her neck and then turned to Naruto for a more decent answer. Aiko narrowed her eyes when she turned to see him asleep. "Typical…"
"They didn't say anything that we didn't know already," Sasuke answered for him. Kayuri gave him an appreciative smile, but he quickly turned away when she did. Kayuri looked at him funny, thinking 'What's with him?'.
"So… what now?" Aiko fished around in her magical pockets for anything skittle-like, throwing a sideways glance at Gaara, who had to poke Naruto back up into an upright position every five seconds to keep the blonde off of his shoulder.
"Well, if you went through the documents that came with the schedule, you would know." Sasuke answered. "Hn."
"Schedule? Where'd ya get one of those?" Aiko blinked at the chicken haired boy, utterly unaware of the existence of any kind of schedule whatsoever. A smug look swept over Kayuri's face as she pulled two folded pieces of paper.
"You forgot about them?" Kayuri asked smirking slightly. "I was supposed to be the disorganised sister, now I've gone and totally made the wrong impression on everybody."
"Oh, quite your whining." Aiko snapped and snatched the piece of paper from her sister's hand. "Crap! I have P.E first up after homeroom! Nuuuuuu!!"
Kayuri snorted. "Sucked in little sis, I have drama, and homeroom two. Who else has homeroom two?" Naruto, Gaara and Aiko all shook their heads. "What about you Sasuke?"
"Yeah, I have HR2." He muttered, looking to the floor.
"So enthusiastic!" Kayuri exclaimed in her most sarcastic voice. "C'mon. See you guys later." Kayuri muttered and grabbed Sasuke's sleeve and started to drag him off to the homeroom.
He pulled away from her.
"A) You're going in the wrong direction and B) I am perfectly capable of walking without being leaded around like a dog."
Kayuri stopped and narrowed her eyes at him. "Don't push my buttons Uchiha, I guarantee you'll regret it."
He stopped and glared at her. They stood like that glaring at each other without blinking once in the whole five minutes. Suddenly Kayuri relaxed, and a big grin appeared on her face. She looked at her watch and took off her shoes once more. "We have approximately 35 seconds to get to homeroom."
Sasuke muttered something under his breath. "Look you have no idea where you're going. Just try to keep up." He grabbed her hand and they started running.
They reached the room, and walk a step in just as the bell rang. Neither wanted to let go, now that they had realised they were holding hands, though one saw the other looking as the hands slightly awkwardly and then both let go, and regretted it.
Then…
"OMG, Sasuke!"
"Sasuke will you have my babies?"
"Marry me Sasuke!!!"
"Sasuke,"
"Sasuke!!"
"Sasuke!!!"
Came from a herd of girls barrelling toward us.
"Uchiha… what the hell is that," I whispered furiously.
"Exactly what it looks like." He muttered with a tone of scared in his voice, whether it was Kayuri or the fangurls he was scared of nobody really knew, including him.
"You have a heard of fangurls. You have got to be kidding me" Kayuri whispered back. In her head the thoughts were already there. 'Sasuke is MINE bitches.'
She got out her sidekick, pulled Sasuke to safety next to her at the right time, and found a double table for them to sit at.
She quickly typed a message up, 'S has fangurls. Kill me.' Then clicked send, not half a second later Kayuri's sidekick vibrated.
From Aiko, 'NUUUUUU!!!! Gaara has fangirls!!!!' Again her phone buzzed.
'Life sucks.' Kayuri sent back.
'Ditto.'
"GOOD MORNING, MOST YOUTHFULLY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS!!!" A random teacher popped up, he had a bowlcut and massive black caterpillar-y eye-brows. Oh, and he was wearing a green spandex suit.
"Oh my god…" Kayuri collapsed into a fit of giggles. Sasuke looked at her, not really blaming her for her for it. Once she had gained composure she asked in a hushed tone so the queer teacher wouldn't hear, "Is he seriously a teacher?"
"That's Gai Sensei, and just you wait, it gets worse…" Sasuke replied.
"MY YOUTHFUL STUDENTS, WE HAVE A NEW STUDENT! GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO THE VERY YOUTHFUL LOOKING MISS KAYURI KOSORA!!!
"Wait, what?" Kayuri asked, wondering what the hell was going on.
"You're being introduced to the class…" Sasuke murmured.
"Joy," She muttered back, a little louder she asked. "Do you want me to like, stand up or something?"
"YES, MOST YOUTHFUL MISS KOSORA, DO STAND UP AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF! SAY THREE THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF, PLEASE!!" Gai yelled, over-enthusiastically.
Kayuri stood up.
"Erm… er… uh, okay. M-my name is clearly K-Kayuri, I-I l-love e-emo mu-music." Suddenly she smirked and said very clearly with a most smug tone, "Oh yeah, and I'm sleeping with Sasuke Uchiha."
A sudden uproar went around the room. Sasuke looked at her with a look that was half somewhat impressed, and the other half quite pissed off.
"What the hell possessed you to do that?!"
"Call it a social experiment if you will. Oh, and you know you wish you were." Kayuri said. Then the bell rang, barely audible with the majority of the girls in the home room crying, screaming and yelling. She got up, picked up her bag and calmly walked out of the room as if she was totally oblivious to the utter turmoil. That is, apart from the subtle smirk on her face.
**********
[…Earlier…]
"Tah-da!" Naruto threw open the doors to home room one, turning the heads of a few nearby students. Most rolled their eyes, muttered and turned away upon seeing their over-energetic blonde classmate, although a small few gazed a bit longer due to the new girl standing next to him. Out of the blue, a pack of random girls crowded around Gaara, asking questions along the lines of:
"Gaara, do you like my new nail-polish?"
"Hey, Gaara! You, me, movies Saturday?"
"Oh, Gaara! I missed you! You missed me too, didn't you?"
"Gaara, do you think I'm sexier with black hair? I dyed it just for you on the holidays!"
Aiko's face suddenly fell as she stared at the terrible creatures in front of her. Fangirls.
They were in her top five most hated things in the universe. Aiko's expression morphed into one of aversion and resentment.
'I should've seen this coming, I guess…' She sighed inwardly as she looked at Gaara, whom was standing in front of a semi-circle of fans, eyes closed and arms crossed. Aiko's sisterly-communication reflexes set in and un-consciously sent her sister a text informing her of the current predicament.
"Gaara-kuuunnn~….?" One of the girls (One with horribly too-blonde hair that was almost white) seemed to notice that they were being shunned. The red-head's eyes snapped open, unleashing upon the fangirls the most terribly malicious glare that Aiko had ever been (un?)fortunate enough to witness. Aiko was highly impressed, and found a half-smile on her face as the troop of fangirls faltered and began to hurriedly disperse.
"Hey, Naruto?" The brunette turned her head halfway to look at the hyper blonde.
"Yeah?" He began to walk towards a row of desks at the back, Aiko and Gaara trailing behind.
"You don't have a fanclub, do you?" Aiko didn't try to hide her smirk as she sat down at a desk in the back row, the two boys doing the same.
"It's not fair! I'm one of the few guys that doesn't have a fanclub around here! Don't I deserve one?" Naruto's rant faded away in Aiko's ears as she observed the class. They all seemed pretty normal… but most with really weird hair.
"Oh, shitaki mushrooms…" She looked at one of the girls on the other side of the class in disbelief and horror. The girl had pink hair. Pink. "Who, may I ask, is that?"
"Who…?" Naruto followed Aiko's line of vision until it reached the girl. "Ooh, Sakura-chan? Yeah, she's the prettiest girl in class!" Aiko gave him a 'you've gotta be kidding me' look. But Naruto continued, "And she's probably the most popular girl in this grade, too. She's so amazing…"
"I feel so sorry for you, Naruto-sama…" Aiko shook her head. Naruto didn't seem to be listening, though. He was too busy, well, fantasizing, it would seem.
For the second time that morning, heads turned as the door opened (although it wasn't slammed open this time) and a man with brown hair and a notably large scar running horizontally across his nose entered the room.
"Good morning, everyone," He greeted with a cheery expression.
"Mornin', 'Ruka sensei…" Was mumbled around here and there. Ah, wonderful teenage enthusiasm. Unlike normal enthusiasm, you can never have too much of it.
"Good morning, Iruka sensei!" A guy's voice was distinguished from everyone else's by the extra letters. Aiko's stare moved to the boy, but soon wished that it hadn't. His over-shiny black hair was in a bowl-cut, his eyes were strangely round and he had caterpillars for eyebrows.
"Yes, yes, good morning, Lee." Iruka replied absently as he turned back to the class. "Well, we've got a new student. Aiko Kosora, please, introduce yourself."
Aiko stood wordlessly, but didn't move to the front of the class. She figured that anyone who was actually interested would turn to look at her, even if she was at the back of the class.
"I'm Aiko. Hola," Aiko stared back at the students calmly, wondering how many of them would hate her and how many she would become friends with. "First of all, I do not like pink. Although I do not yet mean any offence to any preppy girls… yet… please kindly take the time to avoid me if you dislike that statement. Secondly, I advise of all of you not to purposely irritate me. And third, peace out!" Her seriousness vanished at the last sentence, and she smiled at all of the people looking at her, raising her hand in a peace sign. Preppy looking girls muttered under their breath, glaring with obvious distaste towards Aiko, while the other few who had been listening were trying to figure out whether she was a serious character or not, the third statement having thrown them off.
Aiko then plopped down into her seat, automatically taking up her normal school sitting position: left arm propping up her head as she leaned on her desk in a half-slouch. Gaara looked at her out of the corner of his eye, realising that it wasn't the first time he'd thought about what an odd girl she was.
--------
Sorry for the wait! We've both been smothered with school assignments recently. We haven't been able to breathe! There's probably going to be a delay on the next chapter as well, with us finishing up recent assignments and the Supanova convention coming up. Kayu's going as ANBU Kakashi. I'm going as Obito… with a Hinata reminiscent haircut? Lol. Something like that.
Anyway, cya!
