Big Shout Outs!
Let's give a big shout out to: Culpa, Sakura Kimiko, ILoveSxS, SorrowoftheHeart, 13hexe, .KeeseCake.21, and CurlyHairRocks17XD. Another thing I realized after going over the last chapter down at the A/N that I commented on pretty much everyone so I decided to just go with the flow with it and give almost everyone a comment if they are worth it. So if you read down to the bottom you will receive a comment on your review.
Summary
"Your way of putting everyone on Levels and Ranks puts bullying to a whole new level," her voice loud and serious as she stared down at the boy her age. "How dare you say that to the King!" the high voices screamed at the girl with pink hair. His black eyes stared into her emerald ones. "If you don't like it," he paused to sit up straight from he relaxed position. "Then change it."

Meet the Next Queen You King!
Sakura sighed as she walked to school for her second day at Konoha Fire High, and for some reason something didn't feel right in her stomach. She knew she had a good breakfast of eggs, sunny-side-up, with bacon and a glass of orange juice, so it couldn't mean that she was hungry. Yuuki was doing fine in school, or that what he told her when she came home. And the sky wasn't falling. So what was it?
Pink pastel hair went around her face as Sakura shrugged, ignoring the feeling as she had. She turned the corner of the street she was on wondering if Lee would pop out again. She could tell something was right with him even though she didn't see him at the end of the day with no explanation. Then again maybe he had some family business to attend to and didn't have time to tell Choji or herself. She shouldn't keep worrying herself when it could have been as simple as that.
When Sakura looked ahead she saw a figure up ahead of her walking slowly and calmly. Sakura raised one of her fine pink eyebrows as she remembered never recalling seeing her the other morning ago. Emerald eyes looked at the wide screen of the phone that Sakura was holding looking at the time in the upper right hand corner. "7:03," she nodded realizing that maybe the reason she didn't see her was because yesterday she running late, and that the person ahead of her must have been an early bird like herself.
Curious of the person who was in front of her Sakura hurried her pace slightly wanting to catch up to him or her.
Sakura stopped her hurried pace when she was behind the GIRL by a few feet, but literally bumped herself into her as the girl stopped right in front of her. She turned to face Sakura head on.
Sakura took the short time to look the girl over. She looked her age maybe younger by her shortness. Her dark black short hair that reached the ends of her ears went well with her normal blue eyes; it almost made Sakura look away when she noticed that she had the same dullness that a certain spikey raven haired boy had in his. Her skin was fair, neither tan nor pale. When Sakura looked down lightly noticing that she had dark writing on her arms. The writing was neat and small and was placed all along evenly in earthier blue or black pen. Weird thing but then again Sakura had seen blonde boys with whisker like birthmarks and non-puplied opal eyes.
"If you are here to bother me then do it elsewhere," the short haired girl's voice was soft, not like Hinata's but still soft.
"Oh, I'm not here to bother you," Sakura said with a smiled her smile that made people feel happy and smile back. But this girl in front of her did not; instead she turned around and started walking away. Leaving the girl with pink hair with a raised eyebrow in confusion.
"Hey wait up!" Sakura jogged slightly to reach the side of the short girl. The girl didn't make eye contact with Sakura as she looked down at her. She had a bored look on her face as she continued walking towards both her and Sakura's destination. It was the kind of awkward silence that made Sakura want to stop by just start talking about whether it would be better to be eaten by a shark or bear.
"So… how old are you?" Sakura couldn't take the silence anymore. They were half way to school and the silent girl hadn't even coughed! A mountain could make more noise.
"…sixteen…" it was blunt and quiet, but Sakura could still make it out. She wasn't deaf, but as she looked more closely at the girl and made her voice go inside her head she wondered if she could be-
"Are you related to the Uchiha?" they didn't exactly resemble, but her hair, dullness in her eyes, and distant voice still made her wonder. They made an abrupt stop just as 'Uchiha' left Sakura's pink lips outside of the school gates.
Her dark black eyebrows scrunched down, making a 'V' in-between themselves. "Don't say 'his' name around me," it was quick and once again blunt. After standing still for another moment she resumed walking with Sakura by her side.
"Oh, sorry didn't mean to hit a hard spot…" Sakura said with an apologetic smile. Her eyes widened when she realized something that made her want to smack herself, "Oh! Umm… I forgot to ask what your name was. What is it?" she smiled when the said girl looked her way. It was the first time that she actually gave her some kind of actual recognition since they started walking.
"Hikari," she turned making her hair shift slightly. Back facing Sakura she walked away from Sakura, leaving her at the school gate.
Sakura waited as Hikari's body got smaller and smaller until she decided that she needed to get ready for her class. She hoped that it wouldn't be as dramatic as yesterday. Well… she didn't know if she could call it dramatic really. It was more weird then anything. The only thing that was really dramatic was Lee.
"Lee!" Sakura thought just as she remembered that yesterday she hadn't seen Lee at the end of the day. She hoped that he was okay, but she didn't know what kind of trouble Lee could get himself into. Hopefully Lee was right now with Choji or just now walking to school as she walked into the school away from the gates.
…
Sakura walked towards her new locker that she was now blessed to have. When she walked through the doors she went to straight to the office with the help of a fellow Level Six (she had read his label), and was now looking at the red lockers to find 'Locker number 462'.
When Sakura had found her locker it was an old, dented, and shabby red locker that seemed to be rusting in some areas. It made her confused when she looked at hers and remembered what the lockers at the beginning had looked like. They were brand new, bright red, and the locks and them a shiny silver; locker 1 had been the best out of them all. It struck her.
"Of course Locker number 1 would be the best, it must belong to the stick up his ass Uchiha!" it irritated Sakura to no end just thinking about how unfair everything was. How could the principle allow this to happen? This had to be some sort of bullying that had to be some sort of illegal thing. Right?
Sakura sighed as she thought about this, Konoha was supposed to be full of warmth and hope, but now it seemed to be some depressing place that she had to constantly make sure that she wasn't doing anything wrong. It did make her feel better that Yuki didn't have any problems like this at his school. God forbid if Yuuki would allow it. He was head strong and could take care of himself if needed, but that still didn't mean that he didn't need his Oneesan to care for him.
More students started filling in the school halls as 1st period was going to start soon. She walked through door of the class noticing that it was fairly empty with only a girl with ugly dark-blonde hair and brown eyes looking at her overly decorated nails in the middle, a guy with large round glassed and brown hair going over notes, and then there was Shino just looking forward with his head on one of his hands.
"Hey Shino!" Sakura walked over happily to him as she sat herself down right by him getting her things ready for class. She hoped to find out more about Shino so she could write about him in her journal, she had already written about Lee, Choji, TenTen, Hinata, Naruto, and just a little bit about mister Emo King.
He gave a small nod, and just then the warning bell went off and class began shortly.
…
Class went well for the most part, with the occasional outburst from the loud Naruto who had hit her with a dodge ball yesterday. She got to work with Shino on some math problems letting her get some information on him. His whole family apparently worked with bugs for a living, and it kind of freaked Sakura out. But now she had enough information to write about him.
She was now walking to her next class with Choji by her side. "Choji, do you know where Lee is?" She was beginning to worry about since he hadn't shown at all. It probably wasn't a big deal but still Sakura didn't want to have to find Lee in a hospital.
"No I haven't seen him at all, but then again his classes are usually on the other side of the building. Maybe he had to do some extra work or maybe helped a teacher with something. Lee will show for lunch though so we'll see," Choji looked at Sakura with a confident smile even though he was also worrying about his friend as well.
"Ya you're right, Lee is Lee I guess," Sakura walked through the door of Ms. Yuhi's class with Choji behind her. For some reason her eyes wouldn't listen to her when they looked up to the very back in the middle to find the seat empty. The King was not in the room, and they only had one minute left to be in class be officially being late.
Choji sighed when he noticed where Sakura was looking. It was never good if Sasuke was gone, and it could mean trouble for someone. Then again he could just be sick, but that never happened much. His body seemed to be immune to sickness of any kind. So what could it be?
They sat I the same spot as yesterday, getting adjusted to their area. But Sakura could already feel the glares on the back of her head. And of course if she was to look back to see who it was she knew that it would be the red head with the glasses and her posy.
"Just ignore them Sakura… just ignore them," Sakura said to herself as she looked at the board as Ms. Yuhi wrote down the assignments of the day with an extra reminder of when the 'Get to Know' was due.
Let's just say class went off with a strike, foul, and finally a hit.
…
Sakura was slightly upset for the worst reason.
She needed Sasuke.
If she had ever said that people might have said that she was a fan-girl and say she was just like any other girl. But the truth was she didn't like the Uchiha at all. The only reason she needed him was because he was her partner for the assignment in MS. Yuhi's class. Choji even told her that he was half way done, he had gotten the information from Sai and now all he had to do was write the five paragraphs.
She hadn't even been told a date on which and the damn King and she could get information. It's not like she wanted to spend time with him anyway. Was she even allowed to spend time with him or was that another rule as well? Damn King!
Sakura closed her ugly red locker after putting her things away. It was finally lunch time and Sakura was looking forward to finally seeing Lee after what happened with him. She wanted to know if everything was alright with him.
As she was walking towards the lunch room a boy with dark caramel hair and same colored eyes came running towards her. He held something tightly in his hand.
"You're Haruno right?" he asked as he finally reached Sakura panting slightly from the running he had been doing. You could tell he was more computer then sports.
"Yes, that's me. Do you need something?" Sakura asked with a raised eyebrow as she looked down at the boy smaller than her. He was quit short only reaching her shoulder.
"Ya… here," he held the same looking tag that Lee wore along with everybody else including himself.
Sakura looked down at the tag in slight surprise it read something that did not make her happy:
Level: 6
Rank: 431
He held it out until she finally received from his hand. Did she really have to wear this on her shirt? "Do I have to wear this?" she kind of guessed the answer was yes but wanted to make sure. There was always hope in some way or another. He nodded his head.
"Yes, it's mandatory for all students. That's the rule," he said turning around and going the different direction from Sakura.
Sakura looked down at the tag that was supposed to worn at all times. The tag had a pin on the back meant to keep it from falling of the shirt. She sighed as she put in her breast pocket instead of putting it on, so unless if someone such as a teacher told her to wear it then she wasn't. Why someone should tell her what her Rank or Level is. Everyone is human and live on the same planet.
Opening the doors to the lunch room was mostly the same as before. The kids who were most likely on the lower Level while the higher ones where in the front. She sighed as she just decided to grab something quick from the vending machine. She didn't really want to wait in line for some pizza.
As she paid for a strawberry poptart and water she noticed that not everybody got pizza. The students in the front got pizza and a side, but when a lower Level got to the lunch ladies she saw that they received that they received some sort of some sort of melted cheese with broccoli.
"Eww… that looks horrible," Sakura faced grimaced as she noticed that most of the lower Levels just picked at their food as the higher ones dug into their unhealthy but sinfully delicious meal. "What gives the lunch ladies to act this way towards their students? Does it have to do with the Levels and Ranks?"
She went to sit where she had sat last time with Choji and Lee from yesterday. It was empty but she figured that Choji and Lee would join her shorty. As she took a bit of her poptart she noticed that even now Sasuke and his crew was not in their spot that was picked by the order of the red lines. She knew that the loud blonde named Naruto was here from them sharing the same class with Ms. Yuhi. Seriously who couldn't hear him? He was louder than a T-Rex roaring.
As she finished with her first poptart the doors opened and Choji with angry eyes. He completely skipped the line and sat down with Sakura not saying anything. Sakura raised an eyebrow at him as she, but decided that he needed to calm down before she asked what was wrong.
She looked around to see that Sai ate at the same time as she did, but he was on the Level 5's side of the room. When she looked to Sai's left he noticed who he was sitting with. Short dark hair, writing on arms, and blue eyes; it was the girl from this morning. Hikari was her name right? Were they friends? Sakura didn't want to sound mean but the girl didn't seem to be one to make friends. It was not like she couldn't but that she didn't want to. This girl was strange, but Sakura could tell she meant no harm to anyone (she thought at least).
She saw here as a girl who liked to write things such as poetry, drama, and tragedy. And maybe curl up with a cat by the fire while reading a good book while drinking some hot beverage like tea or coffee. Though Sakura really did know nothing about her, did she.
Sakura turned her head back to Choji looking to see if he had calm down any. What was with him anyway? And where was Lee.
"Choji is something a matter? You seem really upset about something. And do you know where Lee is?" Choji just looked at Sakura as she spoke, but she noticed that when she asked about Lee his eyes got angry again but with also sadness.
"T-they got h-him," Choji said looking down at the bad shape table.
"What do you mean they got him?" Sakura was now concerned. Was Lee in some sort of trouble?
"They got him when he wasn't looking… and they hurt him," Choji was now making his hand into a fist making the knuckles turn white.
Sakura was now very concerned about Lee. "Choji, where is Lee?" she stood up, pocketing her left over pop tart for later.
"H-he's in the gym," Choji said still looking down at the table. Sakura said no words as she left for the gym.
…
Sakura found Lee as he was facing the back wall on the bleachers. He wasn't moving very much except for the slight twitch every now and then. She couldn't tell if he was alright or not, but by the looks of his twitching it didn't seem that way. She slowing walked up the bleachers, not wanting to startle him.
"Lee," it was soft and warm hearted that was her voice in these kinds of situations. In a scenario where she was angry at someone her voice would be loud and full of hate, but this wasn't that kind of situation. Lee was usually hopping with joy ad with the largest grin on his face at all times. He gave haste when someone was in need. Like her on her first day. So it was fair and kind to do the same when he was hurting or in trouble as well.
"Lee," she asked again as she was now standing behind him.
His twitching stopped as he froze.
"Sa-Sakura," turned around and Sakura had a hard time not gasping at what she saw.
Lee's face was not cut and bruised, one eye was black. Hair was not in its usually gelled shape but now messy going in every direction. His uniform was torn and the white shirt was no longer white but grey and brown with black. His wrists were red and what looked like a hand print left behind… someone had done this.
Sakura had to stop looking when she noticed that she was making Lee see himself as an ugly monster instead of her friend.
"Lee… who did this to you?" her fine pink eyebrows scrunched in anger at the thought of someone hurting someone dear to her. Even though she has only known Lee and Choji for one day that still didn't mean she wouldn't do anything for them. Fiends help friends not matter how short of time they've known each other.
"I-I fell down the steps of the school. Clumsy me," Sakura didn't buy it.
"Lee! Who did this to you?" seriousness in her voice almost scared Lee. Who knew a girl like her could sound so menacing.
"I-it was Sasuke and the guys of the Level Twos," his voice quivered hoping in his mind she didn't do anything about it.
Sakura left once again without another word through the doors of the gym as Lee shouted after her.
…
The bell for the next class bell had ringed once again but that didn't stop her from looking for someone. She stopped as her mind told that the stupid kind was gone today, but her heart knew different. Someone had done that to Lee, Lee even said it was him so he had to be here. But where?
She stopped by a short-pudgy girl who was reaching into her locker for books. "Do you know where the King is?" it almost scared the living daylights out of the girl as she was wide eyed and almost screamed form fright. Sakura red her tag she was a Level Six, so maybe she would help her and not ask why she needed him.
"If he is not in his next class then he would be in the old extra classroom on the second floor, Room 91," she said looking down. Sakura nodded as she said her goodbye as she left to find the room.
She jogged up the stairs and looked from class door to class door hoping to find Room 91.
When she found it she paused and took a deep breath before grabbing and turning the handle.
It was locked.
She jiggled the handle until the girl with the strange four ponytail sand colored hair answered it.
"What do you wa-
Sakura just made her move as she pushed her out of the way, making her give a small yell telling her to stop. Sakura didn't. She walked forward to where a light blue couch was by the windows in the middle. That was where the great all mighty Sasuke Uchiha was, lying down with one of his knees popped up as his fingers moved across his phone. He didn't really seem to notice her as his fingers kept moving.
Sakura looked around the room as she noticed that everyone that she saw yesterday was also in the room: Naruto, Hinata, pineapple shaped haired dude, TenTen, opal eyes dude, triangle cheeks, Barbie, and sandy hair were all there. Though she could feel more glares coming from the corner of the room, she looked that way and saw the red tape again. Inside the boundary were girls of different ages all glaring at her with hate. In the back on the wall there was a sign:
King's Fans
Wait Inside
Red Line
There was a place where is fans could just gaze upon his lazy figure.
But she wasn't here to do that. She had another reason.
She glared at him as she started to speak.
"Your way of putting everyone on Levels and Ranks puts bullying to a whole new level," her voice loud and serious as she stared down at the boy her age. "How dare you say that to the King!" the high voices screamed at the girl with pink hair. His black eyes stared into her emerald ones. "If you don't like it," he paused to sit up straight from he relaxed position. "Then change it."
They held their gaze on each other's eyes until the boy with the red triangles on her cheeks grabbed her arm, yanking her to move back towards the door. She watched as the current King went back to his lazy position as he brought his phone back to his fingers. Not even giving her a second glance.
This…This man was not someone who she or any other person should have to follow. His ways were cruel and unfair to others in every way. If she were in charge then it would be different.
"If I was in charge everything would be fair and equal. There would be no Levels and Ranks, no red tape, and fair food to everyone. If only I were the Que-
Sakura stopped dead in her tacks of being pulled just as she and triangle man reached the door. He gave her a hard stare with his black eyes. But we didn't expect her to whoosh around to face the King once again.
"Hey you lazy texter," he glanced at her with a blank expression meaning that he didn't care what she said in any way. Sakura didn't care that her idea was crazy and stupid. She didn't care if she got hurt mentally and physically. She was going to do this.
That was a promise
"Meet the next Queen you King"
A/N: Finally I'm done with this chapter! Once again I'm so sorry that it took forever! Also I'm sorry that it's not the longest, I had sort of promised to have it out by Saturday, good thing I never said when! I just got done seeing The Hobbit just a while ago! THREE HOURS LONG! So Ya I'm pretty happy that it's done.
Confused about anything?
Never ever ever ever hesitate to ask about the story. I will try to answer your questions the best I can!
Tell me what you would like to happen in this story, maybe your ideas can end up in this Fanfic? Aaannnd… GOTTA LOVE THOSE REVIEWS! Send me one on what you think. Do it and I'll give you my Precious (in Smegle voice).
Reviews to Thank!
To Culpa,
Sorry I didn't update so soon *sweat drop*. But thanks for complementing my story! I try to make it fast paced, but it doesn't always work that way, but I'll keep trying! Go with the wave!
To Sakura Kimiko,
Lol, it kind of was! But now it already almost Christmas since my last update, so now it's kind of sad V.V And thanks for saying it's getting interesting. While I'm in bed I think about what's going to happen and I start giggling! My mind is weird.
To ILoveSxS,
Ya Naruto was kind of a jerk, but then again it was dodge ball. And he's being kind of full of himself since he's a Level Two and Rank 2 and all. It gets to the brain! But don't worry he's still Naruto. And I've seen you pick on Stray-Ink92 quite a bit. (HUGE FAN HERE)
To SorrowoftheHeart,
Damn straight a girl can only handle so much pressure! While I was doing my science fair all I could do was smile as a judge well judge because of the pressure! And let us see what Sakura does next!
To 13hexe,
COME TO THE SASUSAKU SIDE! WE HAVE COOKIES! Well I have suffered the ball part too! But I have also had a softball (pop fly) and bonk be on the forehead so that hurt! Sasuke is a rich boy, but we shall see what is really inside his mind soon enough! Poor Hinata I might tell who knows *evil laugh*! Yup, Yup Sasuke does as a butt just perfect for staring at (my opinion of course though). Lol, chicken hair.
To .KeeseCake.21,
LIKE OMG! YOUR NAME IS LIKE A BILLION WORDS LONG! HOW COULD YOU TYPE THAT IN EVERYTIME YOU SIGN ONTO FANFICTION!? But anyway I love your name! Thanks for saying that it's interesting! I try! Who knows what's going on inside Sasuke's, perfect, head!? Ya I hope to write more about butt-kicken-Sakura! I WANT KARIN TO DIE! It's funny because someone else asked how they will fall in love. You'll just have to find out for yourself!
To CurlyHairRocks17XD,
I know your character didn't have much of a part in this, but I think she will have more of a role in later chapters as Sakura tries to become Queen. So we'll see! I love TenTen since she is such a sport and a tom-boy! So I will most likely have more of her! Ya, Naruto is being mean in dodge ball, but also remember it is boys vs. girls. But who knows?
Once again, pray or give hope to those families, who have lost a loved one in this tragic event,
