Thanks to Katarin Kishika, Elguardiuz, NekoLova99 and CUPCAKE-L3VER for reviewing~ Arigato. It really motivated me. I give you all virtual cookies.
And to Elguardiuz: Elgo. No, seriously? Your 2nd chapter. Kabuto is a nurse? A flippin nurse?
^ Check out Spying the Spied Spy by this guy.
Anyways: Ta-daa! Chapter 2 of Model Girl. I tried to update it as soon as possible, but I'm also currently making this suuuuper long oneshot. But don't worry! My summer holiday's like, two months long * O * )/
Question: Should I make the Akatsuki as part of the camera, clothes, make-up and stuff like that crew? Maybe Team Taka should take on that role and the Akatsuki are models instead?

Chapter 001
The Fleeting Moments Before the Meet

NARUTO
Birds chirped loudly outside a certain ramen lover's apartment room. Naruto groaned; golden-blonde hair peeking out under the orange coverlet. He threw it aside and peeled his eyes open, revealing hazy cerulean eyes. Yawning, he got out of bed and scratched his cheek, minding to not do it too hard or he would injure his scar marks. Not that he's complaining about the scars; it made him "cute" for the girls since it made him look like a fox more than anything.
Throwing open his bathroom door, Naruto washed his face and brushed his teeth quickly since he promised to meet up with Sasuke before going to homeroom together (if they did have the same homeroom). Naruto sweated a bit as he recalled last year's first day of the last year of middle school. Man, that Sasuke can be pretty creepy when you're late… I'd better be early this year.
Naruto quickly tore off his clothes and jumped into his shower and proceeded to take a bath.
Soon, he walked in his room with nothing but (wait for it) an orange towel wrapped around his waist. Now, if his fangirls were here, they'd be drooling over his quite drool-worthy abs and oh, that sun-kissed skin was what made the girls go mad over him. Naruto slipped on his clean boxers and buttoned up the white school shirt and fixed the black pants. He threw on the optional sleeveless cream sweater with the Konoha leaf insignia.
As he passed the kitchen, he grabbed an apple. No time for ramen, I guess. He took a bite and grabbed the keycard of his apartment room. Naruto kissed the picture of his parents, who were long gone. "Ittekimasu, okaa-san. Otou-san." Naruto put on his sneakers and locked the door behind him.
Walking to the elevator, he pressed the 'down' button and waited. An elevator opened, and Naruto was going to get in before he noticed that it was going up. A female voice broke his attention on the up sign. "I'm sorry! I didn't see you there, and I almost closed the elevator door." Naruto looked down and fell in love at first sight.
The girl had pink hair up in a messy bun, and she looked about his age. She wasn't wearing a uniform, and Naruto was disappointed. If only she was in my school... Maybe she could be a new student. The only highschool in this area is Konoha High School, after all. The girl could pass of for a model, with her long legs, perfect hourglass body, the slim swan-like neck, pouty lips, rosy cheeks, and her ever-changing eyes.
Naruto felt his face heat up and smiled nervously. Oh shit, what am I supposed to do? Wait, since when was I this nervous? Naruto grinned awkwardly at the girl and said, "No, it's okay. I'm going down."
The girl smiled a small smile and nodded, the elevator doors closing. Naruto let out a big sigh and slumped his shoulders. "Well that was nerve-wracking." He leaned against a nearby pillar and waited for another elevator to come.

SASUKE
Sasuke fixed his tie one last time before making his way downstairs. His mom, Mikoto, was cooking his portion of breakfast while his aniki, Itachi, was calmly eating his. Itachi looked up from his food and greeted Sasuke emotionlessly. "Good morning, otouto." Sasuke just nodded and took his seat. Mikoto finished his bacon and eggs and set them in front of him. "Ah, my Sasu-chan is starting his highschool!" She clasped her hands together and sighed dreamily. Sasuke and Itachi sweatdropped when they saw a flowerbed pop up behind her.
Sasuke grunted and noticed that his father was not at the breakfast table. "Okaa-san, where is otou-sama?" Mikoto sighed and put her hand to her cheek. "Fuga-kun is cooped up at his office with his recent case." She turned away from Sasuke and Itachi. "It seems that there had been another attempt to assassinate the Hyuuga heir. Her name was Hinata, I believe?" "Hn."
Itachi finished his breakfast and kissed his mom on her head. "Okaa-san, I'm going." Mikoto pulled him down for a hug and kissed his cheek. "Ita, will you be driving Sasu-chan to school today?" Itachi glanced at his little brother and smirked. Sasuke was giving him a glare that dared him to say 'yes'. "No, okaa-san. I will be going with Kisame and Sasori today." Mikoto waved Itachi away and handed him his coat.
"Okay, now go! You don't want to be late for your first year of university, now don't you?" "Wouldn't dream of it, okaa-san," Itachi replied, accepting the coat and putting it on. (A/N: AUUGGHH. I can't imagine Itachi wearing a uniform. All I see is him wearing a formal suit with a tie and bringing a suitcase. *rips hair out*)
As she delivered Itachi to the front gates, Sasuke grabbed his backpack and slung it over one shoulder. Meeting his mom before going out if his house (*cough* mansion *cough*), he also kissed her cheek. "Ittekimasu, okaa-san. I'll be going now, and I'll see you later." Mikoto smiled and ushered him out. "Yes, Sasu-chan! Itterasshai," Mikoto said, waving goodbye at Sasuke.
Sasuke shoved his hands in his pocket and proceeded to walk to school. As he passed an alley, he noticed a flash of pink from his peripheral vision before it disappeared around the other corner at the other end of the alley. What surprised him inwardly was that there was a pile of delinquents in the dark alley. Sasuke wondered if someone (with pink hair) had taken care of them. Shrugging, he continued on his way to school.

NEJI
"Neji-sama, Hyuuga-sama requires your presence in his study now!" A maid knocked rapidly on Neji's door. She squealed as Neji yanked the door open, already fully clothed for school. He looked at her and said, "Yes, I will be there. Now go." "H-hai, Neji-sama!" The maid squeaked before scurrying off. Sighing, Neji ran a hand through his long chestnut locks and headed to his uncle's study.
On the way, he met Hinata and she bowed. "Neji-nii-sama, otou-sama is asking for you." Neji clenched his teeth. He hated the way his uncle pressured Hinata and made her into his pawn. Nontheless, Neji bowed too. "Is it regarding yesterday's… attempt?" Hinata blushed. "I-I think so. P-please be careful, Neji-nii-sama." She bowed once more and walked off the opposite direction to where Neji was going.
Neji stopped at the oak doors of his uncle's study. Knocking twice, he opened the door and found himself being beckoned by Hiashi, the head Hyuuga and his uncle, to come and sit.
Hiashi faced his newphew.
"Neji, I would like to speak to you about yesterday's assassination attempt on Hinata-hime." Neji just kept on his emotionless mask and prepared himself for the worst that had yet to come. Hiashi stood up from his velvet chair and struck Neji on his face. Neji could feel the stinging pain, but it was no match for the verbal abuse that Hiashi seemed to always have; he always had something to say about Neji's weaknesses.
"I am ashamed! Neji, I have raised you ever since my foolish twin brother died. I had given you everything; food, shelter, clothig, education, and you were not even able to stop the assassin? So it seems all you are worth is being a model. Such a disgrace to the Hyuuga family name," Hiashi spat at his nephew. Neji looked at him with pearl eyes unflinchingly, unconsciously setting his jaw as the stinging pain set in once more. His eyes hardened.You have given me everything. But not love.
Hiashi stepped away from Neji and wiped his hand off with a handkerchief, as if disgusted to make skin contact with his newphew. Hiashi threw the handkerchief aside and walked towards the tall glass windows. Facing the windows and turning his back on Neji, he spoke, hardly, "Neji. I shall have a driver of mine take you to school. You will by no means be travelling with Hinata today, because of what has happened the day before. You will learnto be useful. Understood?"
Neji stood up and bowed, saying, "Yes, Hyuuga-sama."
Hiashi nodded from his spot at the windows and waved a hand to dismiss Neji. Neji turned and walked away from the study, remembering to not slam the polished marble door. Rubbing his cheek unconsciously, he could already feel a nasty bruise forming. Damn, he thought, the least my long hair can do is cover it up a bit. A maid came towards him and she eyed the bruise.
She ignored Neji's piercing stare and bowed. "Neji-sama, the driver is waiting for you at the front gates." She walked with him as Neji fixed his school coat while walking towards the front gates of the Hyuuga mansion. The maid handed him his backpack and said, "Hyuuga-sama ordered us to prepare a Lamborghini Gallardo for you. Your driver today will be Kei-san."
Neji grunted as the driver, Kei, opened up the door for him. Neji sled inside and tossed his backpack aside. Kei got in the driver's seat and drove away from the Hyuuga mansion.
They were driving at a pretty fast speed when Neji heard Kei curse. (A/N: This is the 21st century. In what movie has there been no curse word? *deadpans*) Then everything went slow-motion. Neji felt himself hitting the other side of the car as Kei swerved the car.
Straight towards a pink-haired girl standing near the traffic light post.
Neji's eyes became unfocused as the car impacted with a large BAM! The whole front part of the car was damaged, yet Neji could see no blood nor pink-haired girl anywhere. No more than a second later since he said that, a light tap sounded. Neji's eyes widened. There she was, the pink-haired girl, just standing on top of the damaged part of the Lamborghini without any scratches.
She stared down at him with calculating viridian eyes. Her voice was soft, as she said, "Next time, watch where you're going, ne? We can't have that pretty face of yours damaged now, can we?" In her arms, there was a purring black cat, its tail swinging lazily. She jumped down from the car's front as sirens started to resound.
Neji couldn't do anything but watch as she disappeared round the corner.

KIBA
"Akamaru! Stop running, boy! STOP!" Kiba chased after Akamaru, his puppy, as the puppy ran towards the park. Akamaru jumped over some bushes and Kiba tripped. Standing up and brushing dust off his school uniform, Kiba nursed his hurt nose. "Urgh, dammit Akamaru, I need to go to school!" Kiba grabbed his fallen messenger bag and ran to the park. There, there was a sight that Kiba never expected to see.
A girl with a black hood and baggy pants was petting Akamaru. Usually, Akamaru would never want to be petted without Kiba being there with him. Kiba could see pink strands of hair escaping the hood. He wondered if it was dyed. The girl looked up at Kiba, but part of her face was still shadowed by the hood.
Her lips curved into a smile and she waved at him, then pointing at Akamaru. The girl picked up a black cat from one of the park benches. Then she waved 'bye' at Kiba, and gave Akamaru one last pet before running away from the park.
Kiba blushed, and Akamaru ran up to him, his tail wagging back and forth as a sign of happiness. He squatted down and ruffled Akamaru's head. "I guess you like her too, huh, Akamaru?" Said puppy just barked at him and trotted back in the direction of his mansion. Kiba sweatdropped and shrugged, continuing on his way to school, with a certain pink-haired hooded girl in mind.

SHIKAMARU
"Shikaaaa~!" Ino waved cheerily at him, making him 'tch' in annoyance. "You troublesome woman," Shikamaru mumbled. Ino glared at him and crossed her arms. "Geez, Shika. Get a life. Or maybe, a girlfriend! You totally need someone in your life that isn't troublesome," Ino reprimanded him. Shikamaru just fixed his messenger bag and scratched his head. "I don't think Choji is troublesome."
Ino pouted. "Well that's because we've been together ever since our childhood days!" Shikamaru just kept on walking. Ino screamed in frustration. "Oh c'mon, Shika! I already have a boyfriend! Heck, even Choji is hooking up with one of his chefs at his own restaurant," she said. Shikamaru just walked faster to avoid Ino's endless nagging. "Tch. Like I care. I want to have a peaceful life with shogi and clouds."
As he turned to look at Ino, she was opening her mouth to warn Shikamaru about the incoming running figure. Too late, woman, was Shikamaru's thought as the figure bumped into him.
Shikamaru tumbled down, and felt that the figure was lighter than a normal guy's weight (he knows, since Naruto fell on him while he was cloud-watching once). He grumbled and pushed the body off him. "Oi, watch where you're going next time!" "Ah! G-gomen!" The figure apologized, and now identified as a girl, her hair slipped through the hood. Ino ran up to him and asked, "Shika! You okay?" Shikamaru nodded and kept his eyes on the girl.
He heard the light 'cling' of a bell and a black cat slipped past his legs. The girl exclaimed, "Ah! Kuroneko-san! Where are you going?" She started running, trying to grab the cat. The girl turned back and shouted from afar, "Hey Mister! Sorry I bumped into you!" She waved excitedly at him and chased after the black cat.
Ino poked him, and for a moment, Shikamaru didn't say anything. Ino's grin turned sly. "Ooohh~ what do we have here? A lovestruck Shika? Hmmmm?" Ino ran ahead, unleashing maniacal laughter along the way. Shikamaru just shook his head and continued walking on with his lazy pose, and thinking about the pink hair that reminded him of–
Damn, Shikamaru thought.

Naruto waved frantically at Sasuke. "Heyyyy! Teme! Over here!"
Sasuke just sighed and muttered, "Shut up, dobe. You're gonna make everyone here go deaf." Naruto just grinned at him and said, "Aren't you happy to be back, teme? First year of highschool means new girls!" "I couldn't care less about the girls, dobe. You know they'll just fall for me again," Sasuke replied. "Well, isn't someone full of himself?" Someone said from behind Sasuke. Naruto's grin, if possible, stretched wider. "Neji! I knew you'd have the same opinion as me!"
"I guess we do, Naruto. After all, we are Sasuke's closest friends. Friends tell friends their negative sides, right?"
"HAHA! Hear him, teme, I didn't know that Neji would be this opposing!"
"Hn, dobe."
Kiba suddenly appeared beside Naruto. "Hey you guys!" Naruto screamed like a girl and nearly tripped over thin air. Neji and Sasuke kept their emotionless mask. Kiba noticed them and gave a wolfish grin. "Ah would you look at this. The two famed ice queens!" "Tch, how troublesome," Shikamaru yawned from behind their little group. Naruto flailed his arms wildly and pouted. "Shika, it's not fair you have an IQ of over 200! YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE IN SCHOOL!"
Shikamaru just shrugged and walked to the notice board. "Hey, you guys," he called out, "We're in the same homeroom together again." "Who's homeroom are we with?" Neji asked him. "We're with Kakashi-sensei," Shikamaru replied. Naruto grinned and fist pumped. "Okay! Let's go to homeroom!" And off he went, running down the hallways. Kiba just sweatdropped while the other 3 had an air of indifference around them.
"Okay, okay, settle down, class," Kakashi said from the front of the class. "Now I know most of you have known each other from last year, so this year, we have a new transfer student. She just came back from Taiwan, so please welcome her back to Japan."
At the middle of the classroom, Naruto exclaimed, "Hey you guys! Do you think she'll be hot?" Sasuke just smirked. The female population in that class swooned. "Dobe, she'll just be another one of my fangirls." "You think?" Neji questioned. "Hn." "Class," Kakashi said again. "Meet the new transfer student."
A girl came in. She had blonde hair in twin buns, and was wearing the school uniform like any other nerd would. When she faced the class, the students couldn't see her eyes. They were obstructed by ridiculously large moon spectacles. "Hajimemashite, Sakura desu. Douzo yoroshiku."
Most of the class groaned, their dreams of a hot girl crushed and ruined. Part of the females were planning on bullying her if she dared to mess with them.
As the new girl, Sakura, walked towards the only empty seat at the back of the class, she noticed the "popular guys": Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, Kiba and Shikamaru. They are expecting me to fall at their feet, she thought, inwardly amused. She passed them without so much a second glance. She could hear the gasps of the class, save for the popular people. If she had looked back, she would've seen Naruto and Kiba with their jaws hanging open and the wide eyes of Sasuke, Neji and Shikamaru.
She walked to her table, and smirked. This is going to be fun.
I think the most dramatic introduction of the mystery girl with *ahem* pink hair is with Neji...? Eheee I'll try to give some more interaction with the other guys...
I'm searching for unnecessary stuff like chestnut and chocolate and elm and oak and different Lamborghini car types… I almost put 'elm doors' in the NEJI part, but then I decided to Google on how it looks like and I died. I died. The elm doors looks like it belonged in the Viking Era. I don't know what I'm doing with my life.
