The bell rang, signaling the end of school.
"Geez," Naruto said, crossing his arms behind his head. "Today was so boring." Kiba nodded at his comment. "You could say that. The only action we got today was being chased by our fangirls." Sasuke smirked. "Hn." Shikamaru yawned in response. "I wonder what we'll do at the agency today," he said. "Tsunade-sama said something about a new female model." Neji could only nod at this.
Sasuke closed his onyx eyes. "Well, all she's going to do is ogle at us, anyways. Why bother accepting another female model?" "Yeah, even Ino is already a handful. Thank god she isn't a fangirl," Kiba said as he tidied up his bag. He leaned in closer and whispered, "Hey, are you guys wondering why that girl is still here at school?" He jerked his head in the direction of the blonde nerd Sakura.
The others didn't think twice about it and Neji said, "Well obviously she's a nerd, so let her be. I bet her home is practically the school." Naruto snorted. "Ino is dating that Sai guy, right?" Kiba asked. "Yeah. I wonder how she hooked up with him. He's an emotionless ice cube too," Shikamaru replied, not noticing the glares Sasuke and Neji were directing at him.
Naruto laughed loudly. "Teme, even Sai got a girlfriend before you! Not to mention you both are like twins."
"Hn, dobe. Like you have a girlfriend yourself."
"Hey–!" Naruto was cut off by Kiba. "He just wants to be a playboy, Naruto. Ain't that right, Sasu-cakes?" Kiba teased, giving Sasuke a wide grin. Sasuke growled and glared his infamous Uchiha death glare at Kiba. Kiba yelped and sulked in the corner. Sasuke gave a satisfied smirk before leaning back on his chair. Naruto almost sweatdropped, but the bell rang.
"Okay, okay guys! Let's goooooo!" Naruto ran out of the class yelling, leaving a trail of dust in his wake. Kiba recovered and pointed at the trail left behind by the blonde ramen-lover. "He's not thinking of leaving us behind, is he?" Neji chuckled. "He won't have a ride to KMA (Konoha Modelling Agency) without us, no?" "Yep, he won't," Kiba replied.
The rest of the 'gang' went out of the class, leaving the new transfer student, Sakura the so-called blonde, by herself at the back of the class.
She smirked. Everybody had already gone home except herself. Sakura pulled out the bobby pins located on the sides of her head, causing the blonde wig to fall off. Sighing, she fixed her originally pink hair and struggled with the knots. "Those boys," she grinned mischievously, "are not gonna know what hit 'em. They should know better than to mess with this Sakura."
Sakura removed her fake spectacles and blinked until her dark forest green eyes retained its natural viridian colour. Stuffing the wig and spectacles in her bag, she set her chin on the palm of her hand. "Hmm," she sang. "I wonder if they can find out who I am at school~? Maybe I should play a game with them. After all, it won't hurt to prank them a bit, yeah?"
Sakura let out a giggle that held some insanity in it.

Sakura pressed random letters on her iPhone 5. She sighed, pressing her hand against her face and leaned back against one of the benches in the park. She had already changed out of her school uniform, and now donned a tight black tank top and a soft, pastel green midriff that complimented her eyes. Sakura wore her favourite cargo pants and her cherry-red high tops. She was also wearing a feather earring on her right ear. The earring was an apology from her mom when she couldn't come to Sakura's tenth birthday.
Sakura stole a glance at the elegant London-styled clock tower in the park. The hands of the clock showed that it was already 4 in the afternoon. Sakura needed to arrive at the agency at approximately 4.30 p.m.
I wonder if this agency will be able to make me stay longer than the other agencies? Sakura thought. After all, the only agencies I stayed for long enough was in a Taiwanese modelling agency 'White Star' and that French agency with a name I have long forgotten... I think it was 'Réalité' something... Hmphh... Oh well. Time to start at a new model agency, then. Sakura got up from the bench and dusted off some dust from her pants.
She walked out of the park and towards the direction of the agency. On her way there, she took the time to admire the city of Tokyo. (A/N: Yeah, "Konoha" is just the name of a company in Tokyo owned by Tsunade, thus the names Konoha HS, Konoha MA, Konoha Hospital, etc.)
Reaching the front doors of the huge 30-floored agency building, she stepped in and received quite a few stares from the staffs and guests there. Sakura inwardly gave herself a wry smile. Look at this. At school, they would look at me in disgust just because I look like a nerd. Here? Like I'm beautiful. (A/N: Sakura. You are. I don't make sense in this passage =v=")
She approached a staff and asked, "Excuse me, I'm a newbie model here, and I'm supposed to meet someone names Tsunade...? Do you know where she is?" The staff member, a male, blushed lightly before replying, "Yeah, she's on the 30th floor and her office is located at the end of that floor." Sakura gave him a fake smile and bowed. "Arigato gozaimasu."
Sakura went to the elevator and pressed the 'up' button. She waited patiently and clutched her iPhone 5. Jeez. Where is comfort when you need it? Sure, Sakura was an experienced model, having the profession long enough that she could be called a veteran, but she was still freaking 16. She looked at her reflection on the elevator doors and smiled sadly. The elevator dinged, surprising her a bit, but she stepped in and immediately pressed 30.
After a while, the elevator reached the destination and she stepped out and immediately walked straight to Tsunade's office. Knocking twice, she heard a 'come in' and she obeyed. Sakura opened the door and was greeted by the sight of her new boss Tsunade and a stack of messed up papers as well as a box of sake beside said boss. Tsunade sat up straight and folded her hands together and put them under her chin. Sakura sweatdropped inwardly when she saw one of her loose ponytails stuck in her chair.
Tsunade's amber eyes watched Sakura closely as she made her way to Tsunade's desk. "Ba-chan," Sakura greeted with a true, warm smile. Tsunade smiled. "Sakura, my niece. How's Keiko, my darling sister?" Sakura grinned at her. "Oh, you know. The usual adventurous type she is." Tsunade laughed lightly. Her expression turned serious. "Sakura, Sakura, Sakura." "Hey, I know you love me, but don't wear my name out," Sakura joked. Tsunade sighed. "I had to pretend I didn't know you, yesterday. When Kakashi handed your resumé, I have to admit, I was pretty surprised. I thought you were planning on staying in Taiwan?" Sakura shrugged.
"I didn't like White Star. Too boring."
"What about the agency in New York?"
"Too flashy." Tsunade could only raise her eyebrows at this. Scratching her head, she leaned back on her chair. "Well, all I can say is, why?" Sakura looked at Tsunade innocently. "Why what, ba-chan?"
"Why do you want me to not reveal your information to the other people in this agency?"
"Well, you know ba-chan. I want to play a game to make sure I will be interested in this agency. I still have a proposal for the modelling agency in Argentina anyway."
"What game?" Tsunade insisted. Sakura's jade eyes glinted mishievously. "Don't worry Ba-chan. Just a small game between me and the other male models."
Tsunade chuckled. "Okay then." She grabbed a paper from the messy stack and handed it over to Sakura. "Your photoshoot will be held now. You'll be modelling for this new store called 'Vint-Age' and the theme for their clothing line yet to be launched is 'simple spring'. I'll introduce you to the other models later. They have not arrived yet." Sakura took the paper and bounce happily towards the door. "Well, ba-chan, once I step out this room, I'm going to be a different person, no? Bye~!"
"Wait, Sakura!" Tsunade called out. Sakura rested her hand on the door knob and turned to face Tsunade again. "Yeah?" "You'll be trained by Kakashi tomorrow." "Whaaaa–? Why?" "No reason. Just to prevent suspicion. Wouldn't be kinda fishy if I accepted a 'newbie' model without any training first?"
Sakura sighed, defeated. "I guess." Tsunade grinned and ushered her out. Before closing the door behind her, Tsunade said, "Oh, and Sakura, I've already told the fitting people to not get you to wear make-up." Sakura smiled softly at Tsunade.
"Thanks, ba-chan."

"Tsunade-baa-chaaaannn!" Naruto yelled, as soon as the elevator to the 30th floor opened. The female staffs working on that floor giggled and some cooed to how 'cute' he was, yelling for their boss. Tsunade's voice emanated loudly from inside her office, at the other end of the 30th floor. "YES NARUTO, AND DON'T CALL ME BAA-CHAN OR I'LL POUND YOUR HEAD IN!" Naruto immediately clamped his mouth shut and sweated bullets.
Kiba, Shikamaru, Neji and Sasuke just shook their heads and walked towards Tsunade's office. Naruto ran after them and opened the door with a BANG, only to be hit with a flower vase. Tsunade's vein throbbed on her forehead. "Geez, kids these days. Is there no end to their hyperactiveness?" Shikamaru rubbed his head and yawned again. He said, "I'm afraid not, Tsunade-sama." Kiba plopped on one of the loveseats situated in Tsunade's homey office. "So, Tsunade-sama, what modelling are we going to do today?"
Tsunade tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Let me see... I just had a proposal from this new clothes store named 'Vint-Age', which specializes in 'soft' clothing. They wanted you all, and the Akatsuki to promote their new clothing line for spring. The photoshoot will take place in your normal photoshoot floor." Neji and Sasuke nodded, as Kiba, Naruto and Shikamaru started to go out of the room.
Before they left, Tsunade called out, "Oh, and by the way, the new female model has also accepted to model for Vint-Age too! Maybe I'll introduce her to the models present here today later tonight."Naruto gave a grin to the other people in their little group. "So, she's going to be modelling for that new clothing store, eh? I wonder if she accepted the offer just because the Akatsuki and us were going to also be modelling for the clothing line."
Shikamaru, who was more down-to-earth than the rest of the boys, said, "I don't think so, Naruto. I overheard Kakashi saying that she was a newbie model. So she probably won't really know who we are." Sasuke clenched his teeth. "But of course, she must know about the Akatsuki, right? I mean, they are the famous model group of this agency. They have even reached America." Naruto looked at Sasuke concerned. "Chill, man. I know how you feel about Itachi." "Aa."
The group walked to the elevator, pressing the button 'down', and waited. The elevator 'ding'ed and they all went in. Neji pressed 10. The 10th floor was where they always had their photoshoot in. As they reached the studio, Kiba, with his enhanced hearing that was a trait in his family, the Inuzuka, heard a commotion from inside.
"Guys," he said, grabbing the others' attention. "I think, that our new friend, is causing a commotion in the studio. Is she that ugly?" Kiba laughed. But as they opened the door, a sight totally different greeted them.
It was as if an ethereal creature, a faerie, jumped right out of a fairytale. And there were pretty good reasons why.
The girl modelling right there, with a plain, white silk dress embroidered with gold, was beautiful. She was barefooted, and you could see her tone legs. The dress swayed gently from side to side, even though there was no artificial wind used in the studio. It was obvious that she took good care of her body to how the dress wrapped around her slim waist and gave enough modesty for her upper body, yet it did poorly to hide the owner's great curves. A translucent purple scarf was draped around her neck, and you could see how slim and swan-like her neck was.
Her face had a pale-peachy complexion, and her cheeks a rosy-pink colour that seemed like the result of make-up yet it was all the way natural. The girl held her hands together behind her as she looked down with half-lidded eyes. Her thick pink lashes nearly covered those breathtaking hazy moss-green eyes.
What made her look like a faerie more than anything was that hip length sakura pink hair French-braided elegantly.
All the staffs, photographers, and the boys were stunned speechless. This girl model was really soft looking, and they had never seen a model like her before. Ino and other girl models they had encountered had always been the sensual type of model, and they prided themselves in their 'busty' figure. But this model; she was just...
Different.
And cute.
Naruto held the urge to just glomp her right there and now. Kiba, Shikamaru, Sasuke and Neji were stunned too. They were daydreaming freely of a girl with cotton-candy hair, until the photographer's voice broke them out of their trance. "Okay, good job everybody! Take 5 minutes and rest."
A staff walked over to him and whispered something. The photographer look at the boys before looking back to the staffs and the girl model. "Everybody! It seems that the boy models have arrived, so let's hurry up and finish this 5-minute break before we continue on the boys' photoshoot." The staffs nodded and dispersed.
The pink-haired girl was on her way to the female's dressing room before she was knocked down by Naruto. 'Eep'ing, she threw Naruto about ten feet from her before gathering herself quickly and literally jumping back from the males. "I'm sorry!" She cried out, running to Naruto and helping her up. Naruto swayed dizzily and said, "No prob. You have a good arm."
The girl laughed nervously. As Naruto's eyes focused, he truly got the full view of the rosette girl. "Ah!" Naruto yelled, jumping high. "You're that girl I met this morning!"
Said girl nodded politely. "Nice to meet you. I didn't know you were a model." Naruto looked at her in disbelief. Usually, other girls, or more specifically, his fangirls, would bombard him with questions on if he was a model or not. Kiba appeared in front of the girl's face and she sweated nervously. "Now that you mention it, Naruto, she looks like the girl who petted Akamaru this morning, too!"
Naruto looked at him shocked, and another voice piped up. "Hn," Sasuke gazed into her endless emerald eyes. "She may be the one who took care of the delinquents this morning, too."
Neji nodded and said, "I also crashed into her this morning on my way to school." "Same for me," Shikamaru said, piping in. They all turned to the girl who was slowly backing away from them. "Who are you?" Naruto asked, closing in her. "E-eh, I'm just a model like you guys!" The girl waved both of her hands in front of her.
"Back off her, dobe. Cant't you see you're making her uncomfortable?" "Ah, okay, teme."
"So, what's your name?" Surprisingly, Neji asked this. The girl seemed to have regained herself and bowed politely. "Ah, watashi wa Sakura desu. Yoroshiku." Neji nodded and bowed to her too. Shikamaru and Sasuke narrowed their eyes at her. Isn't the new girl at school also Sakura...? Must be a coincidence. This girl is obviously not a nerd and has pink-hair, for Kami's sake! And the nerd Sakura has blonde hair too, anyways.
Sakura waved at them and said, "Well, I'll need to go first, then. I need to change out of this dress." Sasuke smirked at her, but she didn't blush. Rather, she just blinked at him and turned away. Sasuke was shocked once more and Naruto just laughed at him, yelling "teme was ignored!" around the room.
Sasuke growled in embarrassment. "Shut up, dobe."
The rest just chuckled and prepared themselves for their photoshoot.

After the boys had finished their photoshoot, they piled in the lounge room only for models and met Sakura there. She had shocked them once more.
They had thought that she was a sweet, innocent girl, but now, she was sitting inappropriately. Her feet were on the expensive diamond glass coffee table. She chuckled at their stupefied expressions and went back to typing whatnot in her iPhone. Naruto skipped and plopped himself down beside her and asked curiously, "Sakura, which school do you go to?"
Sakura launched herself in full-blown laughter until tears came out at the corner of her eyes. These stupid boys, she suddenly stopped her laughter and her eyes turned a dark forest-green. How shameless. They do not value women for who they actually are inside. Ah, this is why I hate men. I wonder why I even put 'men' in my resumé. I should've claimed to hate men instead of fearing them. Oh well. Time to have fun.
She smiled a sweet, fake smile at them, which only Naruto and Sasuke noticed because they hanged out with Sai a lot. "Ah, actually, I go to Konoha High School." Kiba's eyes widened. "Really?!" "Yep," Sakura replied, nodding her head, her pink locks bouncing to and fro. "What class are you in?" Shikamaru frowned, since he never saw the pinkette.
Giggling sinisterly, Sakura closed her eyes. "Hey, I propose we play a game!" "Neh, what game?" Naruto said excitedly. Sakura opened her eyes, revealing very dark, Brunswick green orbs. She smiled like a Cheshire cat. "If you can find me at school tomorrow before school ends, I'll go on a date with you!"
"Ah, really?" Kiba asked, thinking of different ways to make the pink-haired angel his new girlfriend.
"Yeah, sure." Sakura walked to the open balcony of the lounge as the sun sunk, signalling the start of night. She turned back and peered over her shoulder and looked at the confused faces of the boys. Priceless. "If you can find me."
And she jumped from the balcony.
It was three stories high.
Was this chapter good enough? Did I make you want moooooo~ree? ;;}
Oh, and to make it clear, I'm sorry if I switch the colours of Sakura's eyes from time to time. I had mentioned that her eyes would be ever changing, so her eye colour will always change. Don't be confused if in one paragraph it's moss green and the next jade.
Gomen, I made Sai as Ino's boyfrieeenddd I just can't think of Sai as a lover of Sakura. I want him to tease her, so that it signifies their close bond. I'll make sure there is interaction between them, though! And I need to make someone Sakura's childhood friend... Juugo?
Welp.
Tell! * 3 * )⊃
