Fire High

Chapter 11

Previously;

I grinned in my seat; maybe having a class full of fangirls wasn't such a bad idea.

I took in the rest of the students that kept shooting me wary look.

In fact, it might just be fun.

Now;

Sakura's P.O.V

I gathered my things as the bell rang and walked out the door only to run into Hidan, literally.

Because my mind was still clouded with fatigue, I fell back on my ass.

Bastard, Shisui would have caught me.

My eyes widened, where the hell did that thought come from?

"Haha, look, bitch is literally falling for me!" Hidan said arrogantly looking me down on the floor.

"What the hell do you want?" I spat as I got up off the floor, feeling dizzy.

All because I stayed up late last night cleaning, fucking wonderful!

While I was walking I finally found my locker and put my things away, I had art next, then lunch. I wouldn't really need anything till after that.

After I closed my locker Hidan had suddenly slammed his hand next to me, caging me against the lockers.

"Where the hell did you disappear off to last night?" he asked while glaring at me. I swear I saw his magenta eyes darken a few shades to a violet purple.

I gaped… the party! I completely forgot, I basically ditched them!

No, wait. Konan told me to leave; she didn't want me to get involved. But I don't want her to get in trouble, think Sakura think! I got it!

I glared back at him. "I didn't exactly want to get in the middle of a gang fight; I like my face thank you very much."

I didn't give him a chance to reply and I just stalked off towards the art room. I had thought I left Hidan in the dust but as I felt a hand on my shoulder I realized it was indeed, Hidan.

"What the hell are you doing?"

He gave me a confident smirk. "Relax babe, couples fight all the time." I twitched.

"We. Are. Not. A. Couple." I bit out through gritted teeth.

"No need to be modest babe, though it is a cute look on you."

"Ugh!" I wanted to slap myself, not Hidan, myself.

I should have been expecting this really.

On the way to the art room I saw Shisui. He smiled and waved while I desperately mouthed 'Save me!'

He gave me a confused look but when he was who I was walking with he gave me the 'OK' sign and nodded, mouthing back 'I got this.'

It was hard trying to hide my smile but I somehow managed.

We walked through the double doors to the art room and I saw both Sasori and Deidera. I silently gasped as I saw Deidera with a black eye and Sasori with a busted lip.

Now that I took a good look and Hidan, he had a pretty bad bruise on his cheek.

Was the fight yesterday that bad? I kind of feel like I had started it, maybe if I wasn't there it wouldn't have happened?

When the two before mentioned artist was me their faces brightened.

"Hey Sakura." I gave a weak smile as I touched Deidera's black eye gently making him blush and Sasori and Hidan frown.

"That looks like it hurts." I said quietly, a small frown on my face.

"No it's fine! Really!" he said, trying to reassure me.

My frown deepened. "It's my fault isn't it?" I asked as I moved my hand from Deidera's black eye to Sasori's lip.

They all looked shocked. I moved my other hand to Hidan's bruised cheek. "It's all my fault."

The next thing I knew I was enveloped in a hug, making my squeak.

"It's not your fault, it was that damn Uchiha's." I heard Deidera say from behind me, so it wasn't him hugging me, and Hidan was still behind me, so that could only mean it was Sasori.

I snorted, "Which one?" I asked, referring to the Uchiha's.

"The brat."

"Ah, you mean Sasuke." They all laughed.

"So I see you've caught on quickly."

I nodded against Sasori's chest, feeling it rise and fall with every breath he took. And his cologne, KAMI HIS COLOGNE! It smelled like, like, like freaking heaven!

I could smell his scent all damn day!

I almost pouted when he pulled away.

"I'll see you bitches at lunch." Hidan said walking out of the art room. "And take care of my girlfriend you bastards, better than yesterday, don't let those other fuckers near her." He yelled pointing at Kiba and them making me gape.

I was about to retort when I was suddenly yanked down just as Kurenai-sensei walked in, giving us our assignment to grab a photo from a magazine, tear it in half, tape one half to a piece of paper and draw the other half of the picture.

Before I could even stand up about five magazines were tossed in front of me. Looking up I saw Deidera take his seat next to before my attention focused on Sasori who had gotten us out pencils and papers, along with a few pieces of tape.

Okay, when the hell did they make this plan?

Just as I was finishing shading in my picture of Jessica Simpson the bell for lunch rang. I sighed as I sat down my pencil and rubbed my finger that were starting to cramp up. I was just about to put my things away and hand in my drawing when, just as I suspected, Deidera and Sasori did it for me.

I pouted as I rested my chin on the palm of my hand with my elbow on the desk.

They were taking this whole 'watching after me' thing way to seriously.

I jumped slightly as I felt a hand on shoulder, whirling around I nearly crashed foreheads with Shisui.

He nudged his head to the door in a 'let's get outta here' way I nodded, grabbing my back pack and we both booked it out of the art room.

"You sir are my fucking savior!" I told him while I wrapped my arms around his neck. He chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my waist and spun me around a few times before setting me down.

We didn't even see Karin there gaping at us.

"C'mon, let's go get some food." He said while grabbing my hand and running out of the school building.

"Wait, I thought we were just going to the cafeteria?"

"Nope!" my jaw dropped.

"Then where the hell are we going?" I asked as we got to his car.

"First of all, watch you language, and second of all, I figured we could go to Dairy Queen."

I chose to ignore that comment about my language, only two days with Hidan and I'm already swearing like a sailor.

I turned to him and gave him the most serious look ever. He looked at me quizzically.

"Have I told you that I love you yet? Because really… I freaking love you!" I told him as I got in his car, leaving him dumbfounded, I'm sure that if I'd waited a little bit longer I would have seen him slap his hand over his mouth and blush a million shades of red.

"Are we leaving any time soon?" I asked buckling myself in, especially with is driving. That was when I saw a security guard coming towards us. "Shisui" I called.

No response.

"Shisui!" I yelled making him snap up and look at the guard. He quickly jumped in and sped out of the school parking lot.

"I've never been more happy for your insane driving." I told him looking out the window to the cursing security guard.

I turned back around and looked at Shisui who was looking at me smirking.

"I knew you'd learn to love it." He said speeding up, making me laugh. I felt my heart race, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I was too caught up in the moment I didn't even see the blue flames coming out from the car's tail pipes as it sped up once again.

He slowed down as he turned and pulled in to the fast food restaurant.

We both walked in and sat down while Shisui looked at the menu. I figured he'd order for me again so what was the point in looking at the menu anyways?

After deciding what he wanted he walked up and told the woman at the front what he wanted. Completely ignoring the way she pressed her arms together to make be breasts look bigger and show off her cleavage. She glared at me thinking it was because of me. I wanted to scoff thinking she was stupid but it still made my heart flutter when he ignored her and came back down to sit across from me.

I opened my mouth to say something but all that came out was a yawn, god I was still tired.

"Still tired?" he asked me, looking concerned. I gave a small nod.

"Want me buy you an energy drink?" I quickly shook my head. "No I'm fine really, you're already buying me food, this is enough, really."

He gave me a look. "Who said I was buying you food?" I gaped at him and he suddenly burst out laughing.

"I'm just kidding Sakura!" I frowned at him.

"You don't mess with a girl and her food Shisui!" my outburst only succeeded in making him laugh harder.

"It's not funny!" I told him pouting, he attempted to calm his laughter but one look at my pouting face made him laugh all over again.

"Pfft… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I soon found myself laughing with him. His laughter was contagious.

"Customer 113, you order is ready, customer 113, your order is ready." Our laughter died down as Shisui went to grab out food. He passed me a burger and a soda before taking his own food and eating.

"I have a question for you." I told him after a few minutes, he finished chewing his food and swallowed.

"Okay shoot." He said, taking a drink of his soda.

"Okay I know your cousins are in a gang but, are you in one too?"

He laughed and shook his head.

"No I'm not in to that life. When I said I wanted to live my life on the edge I didn't mean going around and dodging bullets and help criminals smuggle drugs." I nearly choked, is that what those guys did?!

He must have seen my expression before waving his hand wildly in the air. "I'm not saying that that's what they do; I'm just sprouting nonsense, really!" He said but I could tell he was lying. He gave out a big sigh before looking at me with pleading eyes.

"Please don't tell anyone." I opened my mouth before closing it again. What was I supposed to say? I didn't know, so I just nodded. He sighed with relief.

"So if you're not into the thug life what do you do? Or are you just an old boring hermit crab?"

He frowned at me before grinning. "Maybe I'll show you one day."

I gave him a quizzical look before my eyes zeroed in on the clock above the entrance.

"We only have ten minutes before we have to be back in school." He almost chocked before looking at his watch, this time he did choke. He motioned for me to throw away the trash as he went to go start the car.

Nodding quickly I grabbed all the trash and tossed them in the trashcan before dashing towards the door and to the car that was already started.

Hopping in I buckled myself in. in two seconds flat we were on the road again. It was quiet in the car on the way back so I turned on the radio, I hope Shisui didn't mind.

I squealed suddenly making Shisui swerve the car in surprise causing everyone to around us to honk. He turned to face me as he glared halfheartedly.

"What the hell was that about?"

"I love this song!" I yelled as I turned it up a bit. Shisui gaped at me before he suddenly looked interested at the radio.

"You like this kind of music?" he asked me thoroughly surprised, turning up the volume even more. I smiled before I started singing along.

"Pointing to the moon.

Shooting in the clouds…

Ever thing I do…

Elevated now.

I'm high as skyscrapers

I'm high as skyscrapers."

"Damn!" Shusui said looked back and forth between me and the road.

"What?" he laughed.

"I didn't know you could sing like that! That was awesome!" he proclaimed making me blush. I shook my head and kept singing, even as we pulled beck into the school parking lot.

"I'm high as skyscrapers

I'm high as skyscrapers

I'm high as skyscrapers."

"That song is going to be stuck in my head all day now." He told me looking at me. "Not just the song but your voice too, you-haha, wow Sakura."

I blushed and looked away. "I wasn't that good."

He looked at me shocked. "Are you kidding me that was amazing!" he told me truthfully.

I smiled but then I started coughing. I thought it would go away but it wasn't, it was getting hard to breathe.

Shisui looked at me concerned before grabbing a water bottle out of his back pack.

"Here drink this." I gladly accepted the bottle and took small sips, finally ceasing my coughing fit.

"Are you alright?" he asked me after a while.

"Yeah I'm fine." I cringed at how hoarse y voice sounded, Shisui cringed too.

"You don't sound alright, maybe you should go to the nurse?" he suggested as we walked back into the school building.

I shook my head "I'll be fine, it was just a tickle in my throat." I lied, and by the way he looked at me he knew I was lying too.

Before I could say anything the bell rang.

We both sighed, it's always the damn bell.

He took my face in both of his hands and pressed his forehead against mine.

"Just as I though, you have a fever." He mumbled. I was so surprised I didn't blush, I blame my tiredness… again, no wait, I'll blame my fever this time.

"I'm fine, Shisui, really. I have to go, I have gym next. I said walking away from him and toward the gym.

Once I got there I went to the locker room to change out and into my gym clothes. I walked back out felling a bit dizzy.

"Well, well, look who it is." I wanted to groan but decided against it, my throat was still soar from coughing. I looked at the red head.

"What do you want Karin."

"Thanks to you I have after school detention for a week."

I shrugged my shoulders. "Hey at least you didn't get suspended or expelled."

"Yeah but I can't say the same for you." I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"You do know you can get suspended for ditching school right?" my eyes widened.

"You saw?"

"Hm? Oh you mean you and Shisui leaving campus for lunch? Yeah."

I winced, "So, when did you and the oldest Uchiha get do close?"

He's the oldest? That's hot.

I heard Karin choke on air. Shit, did I say that out loud?

"Look, what'll it take to keep you quiet?"

She grinned evilly, "You have to do me a favor."

I cringed. "What favor?"

She cackled evilly. "I'll think of something." Great, my life is now ruined.

I groaned when I saw her walk up to Sasuke with her evil little smirk in place and told him something. They talked back and forth for a second before he looked at her wide eyed and looked back at me.

He pointed to me and asked her something. She nodded then they both smirked at me.

"What the hell was that about?" I look over and see Itachi, Deidera and Sasori.

"Trust me, you don't want to know." I told them as I went and sat on the bleachers, gloomily growing mushrooms on my head.

This day could not get any worse.

And that's when Gai walked in and told us to run our youthful laps all day!

So yeah, it did get worse.

I really wish I had listened to Shisui earlier. I was now in my last class, science.

After running all period in PE I barley made it to the bathroom and threw up my food from Dairy Queen. I was exhausted the rest of the day.

And don't even get me started in my History class with those gang members I had to do a project with.

They were arguing the whole period. And when Iruka came and asked what we were working on they all shut up and looked at me, even Gaara.

I handed Iruka the article of Jack the Ripper and he seemed to like our project choice.

When asked how I came up with the idea I told them a little fairy told me and just fell asleep on my desk. Yeah, it was that bad.

Now I was in science with a pedophile for a teacher. And the worst part is! Sasori wasn't there today! I didn't get it he was here earlier.

"Akatsuki is having a gang meeting." Sasuke told me when he got too annoyed that I kept looking for Sasori even after class started.

That's when a though crossed my mind.

"Speaking of gangs, I didn't know you had so many members." He raised an eyebrow, obviously no expecting me to engage in conversation with him.

"It's not that big really." I scoffed.

"Yeah right you have like what…" I began counting on my fingers all the members I could remember. "13 members." I said looking at him. He looked amused.

"You use you fingers to count?" I frowned.

Don't judge me, and don't change the subject!" I accused. He sighed.

"Like I said before it's not that big. Gang Hebi consists of three smaller gangs combined into one.

"What! Seriously!?" he nodded. I pressed on when he looked like he was done talking making him sigh.

"The original member of gang Hebi is all the people you saw yesterday, Suigetsu, Juugo, Karin and myself. Then there's the sound trio, Zaku, Dosu and Kin. Then finally the sound six; Tayuya, Kimimaro, Jirobo, Kidomaru, Sakon and Ukon. The three of us combined make up the whole gang Hebi."

I gaped, 'so that's it'

"Damn." Was all murmured before getting back to my experiment. Not seeing the amused look on his face.

After the final bell rang I grabbed all my stuff and walked to my locker to grab what I needed and go. By the time I walked out of the building the school was already deserted. Everyone just wanting to get home. I began my walk home, thankful the Akatsuki were in a meeting right now, that way I wouldn't have to deal with them.

I coughed again before putting my hand on my forehead. I couldn't tell if I had a fever or not, it was too hot.

I heard the sound of a car pull up behind and guess who it was, you guessed it! Sasuke… just kidding it was Shisui.

"Hey Sakura, need a ride home?"

I didn't even bother answering before I got in the car.

"I'll take that as a yes." He said before driving off again.

About five minutes later Shisui nudged my shoulder.

"You're home now kitten." I groaned.

"Thanks." I said before getting out.

I saw the world around me spin before I collapsed. I distinctively heard the sound to my front door opening and my mother and Shisui calling my name worriedly.

I kept blacking out, coming in and out of consciousness.

I remember Shisui caring me to my front door where my mom ushered him inside.

Then I saw remember laying down in my bed with Shisui talking to my mother by my bedroom door.

My mother, she was crying. Why is she crying?

"It's my fault she's like this, I made her stay up late cleaning the house. She was too exhausted to go to school and now it's my fault she's like this." I heard her sob.

I tried to tell her it wasn't but Shisui beat me to it.

I couldn't really hear what he said but it seemed to calm her down.

Thank you Shisui, thank you.

So! What do you guy think it is the Shisui does? I kind of gave out a hint or two! If you get it right I'll give you a shout out next chapter! Anyway please review! and thank you for the idea of having Sakura get sick and blah blah blah, can't ruin what happens next chapter! Hope you guys liked it!
