As the bus pulled up into the dusty road (or so I think anyways, they covered the windows with some thick black tape), I turned off my music, already annoyed with the constant repeating lyrics.
"Stupid rappers. If you're going to repeat something, might as well put in synonyms…" I mutter mostly to myself.
"Excuse me?" Someone said. I turn around, kind of startled (I certainly didn't show it, that would've been so uncool), to the speaker. There was a man with red messy hair and brown chocolate eyes. His face looked like if you punched it, it would smash into a thousand pieces.
"I just don't like the artist I was listening to." I say blankly, staring at him in the eye. He stared at me with the same look. Finally I broke the gaze by turning and packing up the granola bar that I was absent-mindedly gnawing on. Feeling his gaze still burning in my back, I snap around.
"Can I help you?" I asked bitterly to the brown eyed man.
"No. I was just wondering how a girl got in a guys boot camp." He stated. I froze at his words.
…This was a fucking all guy boot camp? Oh. My. Kami.
As I step fearfully out of the bus, I looked around me. And what do you know, Elmo Head was right. It was a guy boot camp. At least some of the guys were good looking…
It was set out in an outdoor area. There were four dorms, with four directors standing in front of each one. They were in a half circle, kinda spread out, and a small dinning hall next to one of the cabins. Next to that… was a barbed wire fence.
Fun.
I saw a couple of familiar faces in the crowd, but mostly everyone else was a stranger. I also heard whispers flying around about me when I was seen. For example, when I was looking for a camp director, two males spotted me.
"A girl? Here?" One asked.
"Maybe she's the medic…" The other one guessed.
"If she is, I'll have to sprain an ankle or something. Look at those-" The first one started. He didn't get to finish because I punched him square in the jaw.
Of course, with doing this action, it just angered the first guy. He got up, and I got to inspect him. He had silver hair with a blue tint to it, and his eyes were a stunning purple. He was wearing what I guessed to be his casual wear which consisted of a purple sleeveless top and grey sweat pants. He had a belt on that held a water bottle and a carving knife.
His friend started to pull him back, saying, "Suigetsu, calm it down! If Karin hears about this…"
"Shut up Jugo," Suigetsu growled, lunging at me. But being the kick ass girl I am, I dodged quickly and served him another good punch in the stomach. Before he could come at me again, I backed up. Maybe if he was smart, he wouldn't attack me again.
But, of course, he was a dumb person, and came at me with a kick. This time I just steeped oh his foot. Might not sound like much, but when you fight for fun and build some strength, it hurts. Crying out in pain, Suigetsu finally backed off hissing.
I smirk when his friend, Jugo, a guy with stunning orange eyes that matched his over spiked orange hair (he scared me a little. I mean, I could estimate him to be AT LEAST six feet…), came and helped support his friend.
He looked at me and I nod his way, telling him to get Suigetsu out of here. He nods in agreement, and takes the purpled eyed freak away. Sighing as I noticed everyone staring at me, I try and look around for a director. That's when I saw the duck butt head.
"Yo, DUCKY!" I shout out, making the man turn. Giggling at his confused face, I run over to him and throw my arms around his neck. As you all might know, Ducky here is the famous Sasuke Uchiha, and one of my best guy friends.
"What are you doing here?" We asked in sync. I grinned and went first.
"What else? I was doing a solo prank, but got caught. Stupid teachers… They said something like, "We know you're grades are slipping and we think these actions are because of it. We're going to have to send you to boot camp," I mock in a high pitched voice, "So they sent me to the principal, and he sent me here." I explained. He smirked (I've found out it's the only way he smiles) and shook his head.
"Your turn…!" I prod at him.
"I came here 'cause Dobe wanted to piss off the teachers and get me involved. He made Iruka so mad…" Sasuke said chuckling a little bit. "I was hoping to get in the same cabin as him, but he's in Cabin One. I'm in Two."
"Naruto's here too? Oh we are going to have so much fun pranking people…" I say, rubbing my hands together. I swear the look on Sasuke's face meant he saw lightning flash behind me.
000000
As everyone reported to their cabin, I was left alone. Sighing, I sit on the nearest cabins step and take out my iPod.
Might as well do something, neh?
Anyways, there I was, just sitting there, when nature decided to pull a terrible, terrible, terrible trick on me.
Yep, that's right. It started HAILING.
"What the fuck?" I scream as the little pelts crashed on my head. I ran inside the cabin that I was sitting on, and tripped on the carpet that I had no idea that was there. In front of me were eight men, starring, all dressing in there boot camp gear. One man stepped around all of the others, and squatted in front of me.
"I never knew a man could have pink hair." He said. Anger flaring inside of me, I punch him square in the jaw. Seem to be doing that a lot lately.
As I scramble up, I huffed, "A boy? Who the hell are you calling me a guy! Bastard." All of the guys in the dorm were starring at me, like I lost my mind.
Which might not be far from the truth.
As I looked around, I saw a couple of men that I recognized.
Sitting in one of the chairs in the back was someone I defiantly recognized. It was the famous Itachi Uchiha. He's a really anti-social person, only met him once and a while when I was with Sasuke. I'm not going to bother explaining him. It's just a waste of breath.
There was Elmo Head, and the crazy kid with the orange mask. The guy that I punched was the man that had all of the wild pricings. Plus, the dude with too many scars was sitting in the corner, and I swear, I was going to wipe that little smirk off of his face.
The others were complete strangers. One had (what I supposed to be) long blonde hair. Really, it was hair tied up in a pony on top of his head, with more hair covering his right eye. (The look suited him. But is he transitive or something?)
He was standing by a man with silver hair and violet eyes (what the HELL is up with all of the contacts? I mean really!). He had a certain glint in his eyes that I decided to put off till later.
Next to him was a man with blue tainted skin, and gill tattoos. And damn, he. Was. Huge. I would at least say 6 feet, about the size of that Jugo kid. He had blue spiky hair and dark blue eyes.
Shifting to a more comfortable position, I stare at each man, challenging them to do anything about my presence. Finally I landed on piercing dude, and he stepped up to me once more.
"I'm sorry about that… may I know your name?" The man said, holding out his hand. I take it with a smile (mood swings much?)
"Sakura, Sakura Haruno." I say and he smiles back.
"Pein." He replies. I nod and release his hand. "I'm the leader of this cabin. The members are Tobi, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu, Itachi, and Kisame." He said, pointing to each member.
I made a mental note of all of the names.
Orange masked man: Tobi.
Transitive man: Deidara.
Creepy contact dude: Hidan.
Guy with tons of scars: Kakuzu.
…I think I'll remember Uchiha.
And the shark dude: Kisame.
Nodding to each one, I look back to Pein. Finally realizing that this isn't my cabin (nor do I know which one is) I fidgeted.
"Um, sorry. I should be going…" I say, turning to the door, yet someone grabbed my arm. Turning and punching the 'grabber' in the face, I immediately regret my decision.
"Oh my Kami, I am SO sorry! That time it was reflex, I swear!" I apologize, trotting over to the pile. Slowly, I see if he was hurt. "Meh, only a little black and blue. It should heal in about a week."
"How do you know, un?" Someone asked. I turn and see the transitive man looking at me, waiting for an answer.
"Well, what do you know from experience?" I ask. He looks at me funny, but I raise my eyebrows, clearly waiting for an answer.
"Well, you can't create a master piece of clay without first softening the clay. It turns out to be a mess. Trust me, un." He replies with a slight shade of fear in his eye remembering the day when he might've learned that.
"Well, you learned that for experience, I learned injuries from mine. So are we settled?" I ask. He just looks at me funny (I hate to admit it, but he looks kind cute that way) a million questions popping up in his head.
Turning back to Pein who was looking at me thoughtfully, I ask the transitive man for a cool wet towel. Sooner then asked, Deidara came back with the towel, and I slowly place it on Pein's eye. He winced slightly, but realized when the cold became familiar with his skin.
Suddenly, someone burst through the door.
"ALRIGHT, CABIN CHECK HERE."
000000
"Alright! Who's the leader in this cabin! And who are the members?" shouted the woman that busted through the door. She had huge (And I mean HUGE) breasts. I swear I saw Hidan drooling. Apparently she saw it too, and punched Hidan in the face (whew! I'm not the only one with a temper). Chuckling as he held his bloody nose, I got up and walked over to the women.
"Err… Ma'm? My names Sakura… And some how my principal signed me up for an all man camp, instead of a mixed, or all women's camp…" I said kinda afraid to approach the steaming lady. She looked down at me and her eyes softened.
"Huh. What school may I ask?" She replied to me.
"Ninoha High…" I said, hoping that maybe she could ship me back. (Fun Fact! Ninoha's mascot is a giant fox!) But then again, if she didn't, I won't mind hanging out with a couple of cute guys…
"JIRAIYA!" She shouted suddenly. Wait… is she talking about my principal? Oh boy…
The women began to pace around the cabin, as everyone else stared. I heard some of her murmuring.
"I'm going to kill him… a women? Really?... oh he is in for it… wait until he tastes my fist…"
Finally snapping out of my state of confusion, I try to get in some words.
"Um… Miss? Are you saying you know my principal?" I asked, hoping that she heard me. Turning, the blonde women looked at me.
"Of course I know him! He's a friend of mine. Plus, don't use 'miss' or 'ma'm'. Call me Tsunade!" She exclaimed walking over to me. I smile a little and nodded my head. "Come, come, you can stay in the Health Cabin with me! And three other people," she said, completely forgetting about the other members. But seeing how Pein didn't moving to get up, I don't think he minded.
When we stepped outside, I saw that it was sunny, and not one cloud flawed the sky.
"OH OF COURSE!" I shouted at the sky. "You HAVE to clear up so I just HAD to punch Pein, didn't you! I HATE YOU KARMA!"
Tsunade looked at me funny, and I sigh. Might as well explain everything to her.
000000
After I explained myself to Tsunade, she looked clearly shocked.
"I'm surprised a girl of your size could create that much damage…" She said, looking down at me with new respect. I shrug my shoulders.
I always get that.
"But yes, the weather here is always weird. It just puts up the challenges for the campers here. One more test for them to go through." Tsunade said after a moment of silence. We finally got moving again, and she walked me over to a small cabin, Cabin Four. As we walked up the sleek steps shining from the work of the harsh weather, I saw a small medical cross on the door.
"Welcome Sakura, to the medical cabin." Tsunade said, gesturing her hand around the cabin.
It looked small on the outside, but frick,it was HUGE on the inside! There was a sleek couch and a huge TV, along with a mini kitchen with finished wood floors, marble counter tops, and never forget the steal appliances. I was in awe.
"I have one more room, seeing my other apprentice, Shizune, was assigned another camp. You're welcome to stay here, but you must pick a cabin to do the activities with…" Tsunade said, trailing off at the end.
"Alright. I choose Cabin Three."
