Chapter 2: Roommates

-X-

SASUKE

Sasuke, who arrived to his dorm several minutes ago, had been silently dreading the moment when his new roommate would step through the door. He was plagued with the image of a Rock Lee or Suigetsu barging through and forever ending any hope of quiet for the rest of the year.

Sasuke rolled his suitcases further into his new living quarters, which was basically two square rooms connected by a small hallway. The bare room contained a small black couch and two matching armchairs, a tall dresser, and a round table with a few chairs. A small coffee table lay in front of the couch. He continued to the hallway where he found a clean, but cramped, bathroom.

Sasuke was impressed, their own bathroom? KPA was making up for its horrible first impression.

Sasuke, along with countless other students, were informed of their immediate transfer at seemingly random times in the past two months. Not that he would miss anything about the school, but it was still a major inconvenience. Sasuke himself was sent a letter barely a month before school started. He wasn't even sure if his only friend, if you could call him that, was even here.

In the next room lay two beds, one notably farther away from the hallway, two small nightstands, and two closets on opposite sides of the room. Sasuke moved forward to the farthest bed and set down his belongings and sat down. A large window gave him a view of the quiet forest surrounding the campus.

Sasuke pulled his phone out of his pocket and checked the time.

9:03? Yeesh, Sasuke thought. Sasuke sighed and lied down on his back and closed his eyes. Lunch wasn't until 12:15 so he might as well catch up on some sleep.

With the click of the door, Sasuke tensed, all drowsiness erased. Most likely, his unknown roommate had just opened the door.

Sasuke kept his eyes shut, silently praying for the most nonverbal, stoical character around.

The boy noisily rushed through the door, and Sasuke's ears picked up his barely audible pants. Had he been running or something?

He listened to the boy fumble with his luggage, along with the clumsy thumps of his bags banging and scraping the walls of the hallway, until all noise ceased.

All at once he heard all of the boy's bags crash to the ground.

He carefully opened his eyes and was greeted with the sight of a very pissed off blonde. His strong jaw was clenching and unclenching repeatedly and his hands were tightened into fists. His body was rigid and his tan skin was slowly turning a bright shade of red.

Positively relieved, Sasuke smirked. Uzumaki Naruto shook in rage then sucked in a ton of breath.

"TEME!"

RANDOM BOY NEXT DOOR

"What the hell?" he muttered, glaring at the wall from which the shout came from.

SASUKE

Sasuke stared blankly at his best friend.

"What?"

"'WHAT?'" Naruto threw his hands in the air. "WHADDYA MEAN 'WHAT?' YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT!" Naruto bellowed.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"YOU LIAR, I TEXTED YOU LAST WEEK AND YOU SAID YOU WERE STAYING AT CHIBA!"

Sasuke frowned. Had he really said that? The expression on Naruto's face told him that he definitely did.

"Whoops." Sasuke stated then closed his eyes again. He could practically feel the lasers from Naruto's eyes boring into his skull.

Naruto breathed in and shakily released his breath in an effort to regain his composure.

Sasuke cracked open an eye to see Naruto's lasers burning into his mattress.

"Get. Out. Of. My. Bed." Naruto said through gritted teeth.

"This is my bed," Sasuke stated, and after an afterthought, "Dobe." He added.

"Dammit Sasuke! You know how I HATE sleeping close to the door! You remember last year!"

At their old high school, Chiba High, the teachers and faculty on night watch would roam the halls performing random checkups on the student's rooms. Their school was very strict about members of the opposite sex in each other's dorms.

On top of the random checkups they would normally get, Naruto, the knucklehead he is, managed to piss of the majority of their teachers, ensuring at least one knocking adult on their door at ungodly hours every night in order to get their revenge.

Sasuke shrugged. "Of course I remember. That's why I chose this bed," Sasuke said. He put his hands behind his head. "Besides, if you really wanted a farther bed then you should have arrived earlier to get it."

Naruto flinched at his words. If possible, Naruto seemed to grow even more livid than before. He stomped over to the bed near the hallway and gave it a sharp tug.

It didn't budge

"I'm guessing it's screwed into the floor." Sasuke stated obviously, earning him another glare.

"Gee, thanks Sasuke." Naruto's voice dripping with sarcasm.

Sasuke replied with his famous "Hn."

Naruto said nothing, other than the occasional curse, as he shrugged off his backpack and dropped all of his bags, save a bright, orange duffel bag which he set on the bed.

Sasuke watched as he roughly unzipped the bag to reveal a mini-fridge, and nothing else.

Typical, Sasuke thought smugly.

Naruto plugged it in right next to his bed then pointed an accusing finger at him.

"Don't touch." Naruto commanded while glaring at him, then promptly left the dorm and slammed the door.

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

Although he wasn't thrilled to have the blonde as his roommate for the third year in a row, Sasuke was overall please with having Naruto.

There could be worse, Sasuke argued. He thought for a quick second.

MUCH worse, Sasuke decided as he imagined Rock Lee, who had also transferred to KPA.

Sasuke was furious to see him here. It wasn't even 8:00 when he drove into the parking lot to see Lee running around the damn campus with his ridiculous green spandex.

When he first got the letter informing him of his immediate transfer, he was relieved to have finally rid himself of the green beast and his silly challenges.

It was too good to be true, however.

He tried to close his eyes and find sleep, but the combination of memories of Lee's monstrous eyebrows and the ringing in his ears from Naruto's outburst prevented him from napping.

He checked the time and barely twenty minutes had passed.

Now he was in a bad mood.

Sasuke sighed and glanced at Naruto's bed, then to his fridge.

A devilish grin spread across his face.

(A/N: HAHAH ITS 4:20 PM RIGHT NOW HAHAH)

INO

As they piled into the elevator, Shikamaru sagged against the wall, releasing a heavy sigh.

That's Shikamaru for you. Tired from that little walk to the dormitories, Ino mused.

The rest of the freshmen boys squeezed in, forcing Ino to put her story on hold as she made room for them to enter the elevator. Ino pressed the necessary buttons to bring them to their respective floors then turned back around to face the lazy genius as they began to ascend.

"Now where was I?" Ino pondered. She then snapped her fingers.

"Oh yeah! And so then I was like, 'Really'? And then Karui was like 'Oh my God, yes!' and then I was like-"

"We're here!" Shikamaru said quickly, cutting her off.

Maybe a little too quickly.

Ino squinted at him. He looked pretty eager to end the conversation. The man looked as if a heavy burden was lifted from his shoulders.

Shikamaru hastily stepped off of the elevator.

"Well here's my floor. I better get to my dorm and unpack." Shikamaru said, but there was no mistaking the eagerness hidden in his voice. Hurt flashed across her face and she quickly avoided his eyes.

He's trying to get rid of me, Ino realized. How foolish of her to think that he actually wanted to rekindle their old friendship.

Looking back on the times when they were kids, Ino realized that their friendship was just Iino bossing him around and Shikamaru calling her troublesome. He couldn't possibly want any more of that.

"O-Oh, okay then," Ino murmured. As she turned around to board the elevator, Shikamaru grabbed her wrist gently.

"Hey," he said softly. Ino's eyes widened. She had never heard him speak so tenderly.

"I'm just a little tired right now. Waking up early is so troublesome," Shikamaru explained as he gave a small smile.

"I'll wait for you downstairs around noon, okay?" he asked hopefully.

Ino felt a small flutter in her chest as she met his gentle gaze. She couldn't help the small blush that spread across her cheeks. She gulped.

"Okay," she squeaked. She surged forward and gave him a quick embrace before rapidly entering the elevator.

Shikamaru shook his head. "Troublesome," He said as Ino repeatedly tapped the Close button on the elevator wall.

Although she avoided his eyes, Ino could feel his gaze burning into her as the elevator doors closed.

Ino released the shaky breath she didn't know she was holding. What was wrong with her?

When did Shikamaru start making me nervous? Ino demanded. She leaned against the wall and fanned her face with her hands as the elevator carried them to the third floor.

She glanced to the boys with her luggage to see look visibly distraught by her exchange with the junior. Guilt crept into her mind and she faced the boys.

"I'm sorry for dragging you guys around all morning .It was really rude of me to do that. I know it's a little late, but you all can drop off my stuff outside the elevator and head on to your own dorms." Ino offered sincerely.

The boys exchanged glances. The shortest boy, who was completely covered by her bags, piped up.

"It's fine Ino-san, it really wasn't that bad honestly, but.." he began.

Ino raised an eyebrow.

"..Will you please tell us what you said next to Karui? Please? Did all of that really happen?"

She felt three pleading sets of eyes set on her.

Ino laughed. Freshmen.

TENTEN

"Okay, that's the last of them." Tenten said as she brought the last two suitcases into the living room.

Sakura let out a heavy sigh. "Thank you so much Tenten" she said wearily before collapsing on her white sofa. Tenten fell in next to her and stretched out her legs.

"Thank you for saving me a trip to the gym," Tenten joked.

They sat together in a comfortable silence while Tenten occasionally sneaked glances at Sakura's bubblegum hair. She decided to break the silence.

"So why did you bring so much stuff? It looks like you brought you're entire room in those bags," Tenten asked. "It certainly felt like it." Tenten complained as she motioned to the six or so suitcases by the door

Sakura thought for a while before answering.

"I pretty much did bring my room. I received an email about my transfer three weeks ago, so I didn't have much time to get ready. I literally just stripped down the whole room," Sakura revealed.

Tenten looked outraged.

"Although," Sakura admitted. "I'm not gonna lie. I probably would have brought almost the same amount nevertheless. I couldn't imagine parting with any of my clothes." Sakura said as she gazed longingly at her luggage.

"Three weeks!?" Tenten exclaimed in disbelief. "What lazy bastard was in charge of sending out these letters, huh? Everyone I've talked to so far received their letter super late too!" Tenten swore. "Just wait till I get my hands on that jerk. We should have gotten these months in advance!"

"Whoever that knucklehead is must have absolutely no sense of time whatsoever." Sakura muttered darkly.

Flashback: FOUR MONTHS AGO

A young man sat down in front of his computer and sighed as he looked at the unbearably long list of students. His eyes glazed over just by looking at the screen.

The man cursed and ran a hand through his wild white hair.

Perhaps he didn't have to do it now. He had loads of time before anyone really needed them.

The man smiled through his mask.

The transfer notices could wait a week or two, He thought as he exited out of the list.

His fingers robotically typed in the web address to his favorite manga.

His one visible eye slowly scanned each panel of Icha Icha Paradise very, very carefully.

End Flashback

Tenten and Sakura chatted for a while after their anger subsided. From what she learned during the conversation, Sakura came from Ibaraki Academy where she was on the volleyball team along with their dance team.

Tenten's eyes lit up as she mentioned the sport.

"Really, you play? Me too!" Tenten said excitedly. She was really loving this girl.

Right before they got to sink into an exciting, engaging conversation about the greatest sport in the history of mankind, someone knocked on the door and the door handle jiggled.

Tenten whipped her head around towards the door with a murderous glare.

Who dares to disturb the mighty Tenten during Volleyball Time- she began to angrily think when the door swung open to reveal a gorgeous girl with platinum blonde hair and a mountain of luggage behind her.

"-And so Samui was like, 'How dare you!' and then Karui was like, 'How dare you!', and then-" the blonde stopped as she noticed the two girls on the couch.

She glanced down at her ID. "Did they give me the wrong room?" she wondered aloud.

She must think we're roommates, Tenten guessed.

The beauty then focused her gaze on the rosette beside Tenten and gasped.

"Oh my God."

Tenten looked beside her to see her new friend with her jaw hitting the floor.

Sakura screamed.

Ino screamed.

Tenten blinked once to see Sakura practically fly off the couch towards the girl.

"INO-PIG!"

"FOREHEAD!"

They tightly embraced each other and hopped around in a little circle. Sakura started spouting some gibberish and the girl called Ino-pig burst into tears.

"I t-thought I'd never s-see you again!" Ino-pig stuttered through her tears.

They sank to their knees, Ino-pig practically sobbing now.

Tenten awkwardly stood up and eased her way near the door where she picked up her luggage.

"I'll let you two catch up," Tenten called, almost yelling as she moved past the boys with the luggage.

She was almost certain that the girls heard nothing over their blubbering.

HINATA

Their little walk had been far too short so they nonverbally agreed to continue hanging out in her dorm.

Or actually, to continue Naruto talking and Hinata listening. She was so nervous in front of her crush that she couldn't do more than nod yes and shake her head no.

Which didn't really bother her much at first.

Hinata loved listening to him. Naruto chattered about anything and everything, from his favorite color (orange, duh!) to his adventures with his friend Uchiha Sasuke at Chiba.

She soaked in every word he said. She marveled at the mischievous gleam in his eyes as he recited his jokes and at the way his eyes lit up when he spoke about Jiraiya, his adoptive father. Hinata could listen to his all day.

Hinata eventually steeled her nerves.

The next time I get the opportunity to talk I will, Hinata promised.

As he spoke about one of the pranks he was planning for the school year, a vibration from his pocket interrupted him. Naruto continued talking as he simultaneously unlocked his phone and looked down.

"I'm not sure if I should've saved it for that annoying underclassman or-,"Naruto paused as he tapped the phone's screen.

His eyes widened as he gawked at the phone. Hinata looked worried.

"What's wrong?" she said, her voice filled with concern.

"That bastard," Naruto whispered. Hinata bent down to peer at his phone.

Someone had texted him a picture of a charming boy with pale dark locks of hair framing his face. He wore a slight smirk on his face along with a..Hinata squinted.

A refrigerator? Whatever it was, the boy had it propped on his shoulder.

Hinata shot a questioning look to Naruto as the phone vibrated again.

A new picture showed the same white object sitting dangerously on an open window sill.

"THAT BASTARD." Naruto roared as he shot to his feet.

"W-What's going on? What was he doing?"

"I swear I'm going to kick his ass! He's gonna smash my mini fridge! I'm sorry Hinata but I have to go!" he said hurriedly shoving his phone into his pocket.

"But-"

"I'll see you at lunch Hinata! I have an asshole to take care of!" Naruto growled and just like that, charged out the room and slammed the door.

Hinata sat stunned for a while.

"God dammit." Hinata swore quietly. She buried her face in her hands.

Not only had she been rendered speechless in front of him yet again, a refrigerator ended one of the most enjoyable experience she's had in a while, yet Naruto left without a second glance.

Hinata felt completely miserable, she felt as if she had just turned invisible.

Hinata grabbed one of the small pillows off of the couch and screamed into it.

Not a second later did she hear two shrieks echo her.

Hinata tilted her head to the side in confusion. The sound was coming from the dorm next door.

She stood up and pressed her ear and heard faint sobbing.

Something's wrong, Hinata thought. Preparing for the worst, Hinata rushed to the door and flung it open to see a brunette with large, warm eyes squeezing past a heap of luggage and into the hallway.

"Is everything okay over there" Hinata's voice filled with concern. The brunette laughed.

"Everything's peachy, those two are just having a little reunion" she explained, jabbing her thumb toward the dorm. Hinata gave a huge sigh.

"Thank goodness. I was expecting a gunman or something," Hinata said with relief. The brunette gave her a peculiar look.

"And what exactly were you planning to do against said gunman?" Tenten questioned comically. "Besides die, of course,"

Hinata paused, completely at a loss of words. The girls giggled.

"I'm Hyuga Hinata." she said enthusiastically. Something about this girl made Hinata very at ease.

I haven't stuttered once yet! Hinata realized

"Nice to meet you Hina, I'm Tenten," said the brunette. She glanced at the open door to Hinata's room, then down to the ID badge around her neck.

"And also you're new roommate."
