"Haruno-san... can you hear me?"
"Uh-hu! Loud and clear, Pein-sensei!"
"I can see that you are not inside the building yet so no need to act right now,"
"...My apologize, Pein-sama. What is it that you want to tell me?"
"I only want to remember you that this is really important. Failure is not acceptable, got it?"
"..."
"Haruno-san?"
"Tch, who do you think is doing the hole work? I've got everything under controle right now so don't you dare mess this up,"
"Like you are used to something like this,"
"For god's sake! All I have to do is watch over a boy and nothing more! Geez, you're like Sasuke and his father!"
"Oh yeah? You mean they're cold and emotionless like me?"
"Tsk! Damn straight!"
"It's Tsuki High, the students there are different than other schools,"
"So? No big deal, I can handle you so why can't I handle some dangerous teens?"
"... Stupid, bitch,"
"Thanks, manwhore..."
"Now, I changed my mind. I'll not help you but I'll be watching you when you got caught,"
"Thank you, that will remember me to kill you after this,"
"We'll see about that... Oh, look at the time, ten more minutes before your first lesson starts,"
"Whatever, I'll be going now,"
With that said, the bright pink-haired girl turned her walky-talky off and continue to eat her strawberry cake till the small white plate was left with crumbs. The waitress who brought Sakura the cake noticed that the pinkett was finished and approached her table before picking the plate up.
Sakura gave him a warm smile, opening her bag to take her wallet out so she could pay for her cake.
A hand stopped her from doing that.
The pinkett looked at his hand before shifting her confused emerald eyes at the dark brown-haired boy with hazel brown eyes.
"Is something wrong?" asked Sakura, confused.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at him, waiting patiently for him to speak. Did he knew that she was working for a criminal? Did she eat the cake in a wrong way? Did she-
"U-ummm... t-the cake i-is on me," he stuttered quietly and blushed.
Sakura blinked and blinked a few more times then her eyes slowly widened in realation at what situation she was in. A light blush covered her pale cheek and turned her head to her right avoiding to look at him.
She hadn't saw that he was avoiding her eyes too.
"T-thanks for your kindness b-but I can pay for my own," Sakura was about to grab her walled only to be stopped again as he grabbed her wrist.
"S-sorry! I-i didn't mean to do that," he quickly let her hand go, taking a few steps away from her in embarrassment. "I-i really don't mind paying it for y-you..."
She then looked at him, not knowing what to do. Should she accept the offer from a stranger?
'Geez, why does he insist on paying for my cake? If we keep this talk, I'll be late for... school!'
'Muahaha! Be happy that we don't need to pay! Free cake for us!'
"Hey, Kou! Can't you just give your girlfriend a kiss on the cheek and continue to work?! I need your help over here!" shouted a light blond-haired boy, smirking at the two blushing teens.
"S-shut up, Sora-baka!" yelled Kou, embarrassed. "She is not-"
He caught his breath as arms of the pinkett wrapped around his body. Sakura blushed heavily and listened to his now fast beating heart she had caused. She then quickly broke the hug and crossed her arms, head turned to the side but her eyes were on him.
"I usually don't like accepting offers from others without giving something in return," Sakura cleared her troat. "U-umm... I think that h-hug was enough but since I know your name it would be only fair if you also know mine. I'm Haruno Sakura."
Smiling like an idiot, Sakura held her hand out for him to take.
"Nice to meet you, Sakura, I'm Kaito Kou," Shin took her hand and shook it.
"I-i need to got to school now," Sakura awkwardly let his hand go, took her bag then headed out of the café.
"Uh, I-i hope to see you soon, Sakura," Kou walked her out of the café, feeling a little bit disappointed that he had not much time to talk to her.
Sakura turned around and winked at him. "Aww~ I'd like to talk to you after school again!" the pinkett waved him goodbye and ran towards the building oposite of the café.
Kou blushed, watching her entering and disappearing inside the school called Tsuki High.
"Ohlala~ why are you blushing like that, Kou?" Sora laughed loudly before patting his best friend's back. "Ne, ne Kou-kun! Are you-"
! Whack !
"Shut up," growled Kou and disapeared behind the kitchen doors.
"Ouch! Geez, kill joy!" Sora rubbed the back of his head and approached the new customers before writting their orders down.
o~O~o
8:10 am.
Sakura turned on her little walky-talky near her ear as she kept looking for her class for the past ten minutes. It was irritating and quiet annoying that she couldn't find her classroom. And it was not her fault.
"Eh? Late on your first day at school?"
"Shut up, you're not helping me. What do you want now?"
"Did you saw the look on that Kou guy's face? I could already tell that he is stupid,"
"Don't be so rude to Kou! He's actually cute,"
"Cute?! Why? Because he blushed for you? God spare me!"
"Why are you talking about him anyway?"
"I only don't know why males who saw you have immediantelty a crush on you..."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't tell me that you hadn't notice the stares you got?"
"What should I say... No man can resist me,"
"I can, I would be even happy if you leave me alone,,"
"Funny, and you're not a man. You're more like a whining girl demanding someone to do things,"
"If they only know how bad your temper is they'll think other wise,"
"What do you think of me?"
"You're ugly,"
"..."
"Your forehead in insanly big, you have freakish pink hair, your emerald eyes always shone in the darkness making them look really creep as hell. I also want to add that your muscles doesn't give you a very attractive figure and your-"
"Yeah, yeah... why are you telling me this now? Can't you tell it to someone who will actually have an interest to listen to you?"
"You're listening..."
She ignored him and continued to look for her class. She already got her schedule, locker nummber and books from the office (She's surprised that Pein already planned this out) so why can't she find her freaking class?! The pinkett felt a sweat drop as she looked at her wrist clock.
8: 30 am.
"What?! I spend twenty minutes searching for- Argh!" groaned Sakura in annoyance. "I need to calm down... calm down, Sakura, you can do this,"
The pinkett took a deep breaths then looked at the paper in her hand.
Homeroom with Hatake Kakashi - Room: 213
Sakura's eyes twitched as she looked at the door to her left side...
Room: 23
...before looking at the door to her right side...
Room: 153
A sigh escape her, Sakura walked around the hallways hoping to find her classroom while she looked at the room nummbers on the doosr.
She was more than pissed off.
'I'll beat the one who made this stupid school system!' Sakura thought angrily, still looking at the doors next to her.
Room: 56
Room: 11
Room: 43
Room: 321
Room: 27
Room: 211
Roo-
"...!"
"Ugh! The hell?!"
"Ow! I'm sorry," Sakura winced in pain and rubbed her forehead.
She was so caught up looking for the door of her class that she hadn't looked where she was going. The pinkett looked p at the person she bumped into. He had auburn hair and rinnged eyes that stared back at her.
She then notice that he was not alone and looked at the blue skined teen next to him.
Her emerald eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the teen with blue colored skin. The blue skined person felt her stare and glared at her.
"What are you looking at?!"
"You... you have blue skin," awed Sakura, eyes sparkling in excitment.
"You have pink hair," he sneered coldly, his glare turned into an annoyed look.
Sakura nodded. "That right, my hair is pink. It's also natural... but your skin-"
"Got a problem, pinkie?"
"-your skin is so cool!" squealed Sakura and hugged him out of nowhere.
He froze in shock then pushed her away from him. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Hugging your teacher like that?!"
"T-teacher?! Oh, god! Sorry! I never saw someone unique like me!" smiled Sakura. "Oh, yeah! I'm Haruno Sakura by the way! I'm the new student."
"Pein-san already told me-"
Sakura looked at Pein.
"-You're new? Great, let me guess... you're lost and you're looking for your class, right?" asked the blue-skined teacher, crossing his arms.
"How did you know?"
"Just a feeling," he frowned slightly. "I'm Hoshigaki Kisame and this is guy next to me is Pein. Tell us what your first lesson is and we'll bring you there."
Sakura smiled, glad that she found someone who will help her. "I've Homeroom with Hatake Kakashi."
Kisame and Pein exchanged looks before they turned back to Sakura. Tilting her head to the side, Sakura was about to ask them what was wrong as the two began to walk towards the direction were she just came from.
Sakura shrugged and followed them.
"Uh, I have a question, Kisame-sensei,"
"What is it?"
"Why are you two not in class?"
Kisame chuckled. "We're guarding the hallways. There are some- No, scratch that... there are a lot of dumb students who ditch the first lesson and walks around the hallways. Me and Pein make sure that they go back to class."
Sakura smiled at him. "That's nice! You two aren't the only ones who are playing guard in the hallways, right?"
"Yeah, how did you know?" Kisame narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"Think about it, Kisame-sensei, this school is really big! The principle must have sign more than two teachers to watch."
"Heh, you're smart, brat," smirked Kisame. "And here I thought that you're going to be another dumb fangirl."
She stopped on her steps, looking at him with confused eyes. "Fangirl? Me? Why would you think that? You don't know anything about me, Kisame-sensei," pouted Sakura, a hurt expression written on her face.
"Sorry, pinkie, you need to understand and accept the fact that most of the female students are fangirls here. I never met someone who doesn't drool over Pein, except a female friend of us."
"I see..." Sakura sighed.
She had already expected this to hear.
True, that her school was way different than Tsuki High but she had met worse schools than this one. Her school is, compare to Konoha High, worse. She could handle fangirls, nerds, sluts, bastards, jerks and the most stubborn students here.
What she couldn't handle was that she'll be get in a lot of problems due to the experiance back at her old school.
"Prepare yourself to get dirty," grinned Kisame, showing her his white sharp teeth.
"Don't worry, I'm already prepared for everything to happen," Sakura grinned back, missing the look Pein threw at her.
Kisame stopped infront of the door and was about to open it as it was thrown open from the inside before he fell backwards with someone on top of him. He cursed loudly and threw the blond-haired person to the side.
"What the hell, Deidara-san?!"
"S-sorry, Kisame-san, yeah! I'm in a hurry!"
"Kyaaa! Deidara-sensei!"
"Come back! Deidara-sensei~"
The rest of the students walked out of the class and made their way towards their second lesson.
Sakura stared at Deidara for a moment then walked inside the classroom with Kisame and Pein behind her. Behind the wooden desk sat the teacher reading an orange book. He had spiky silver hair and dark grey eyes. Her eyes travel to the mask he wore that covered the lower half of his face.
A smile crept up her lips but it soon disappeared as she looked at the book closely.
"Icha Icha Paradise?" Sakura's eyes widened and a dark blush covered her cheek again.
'Our teacher is a PERVERT! We are not prepared to this!'
'Shut up!'
'Look! He-'
'I said SHUT UP!'
Grabbing her head, Sakura let out a painful groan.
"You alright, pinkie?" Kisame asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Or is it our perverted sensei that gives you headach?"
"Meh, that's really nice of you to say, Kisame-sensei," muttered the silver-haired teacher and looked at the pinkett.
Sakura flushed and bowed. "I-i'm Haruno Sakura, the new student... a-and I'm sorry- U-umm, I-"
"You're forgiven, I'm Hatake Kakashi," smiled Kakashi. "I also got lost on my first day of school. Well, knowing from the principle, you've all classes with me and that I should take care of you or something like that. Don't know why though, mind telling me what's so spezial about you?"
"I don't know why he told you that. You don't need to listen to him," Sakura frowned.
"No, no, I don't mind taking care of you. Ryuga-sama spoke with me in a serious tone, I want to find out what you're hidding," Kakashi stood up and placed his book in his bag before taking Sakura's hand leading her to the next lesson.
"See you then at lunch, pinkie!" Kisame waved, walking with Pein to the other direction.
Sakura turned around, smiled and waved back. "Okay! See you later Kisame-sensei and Pein-sensei!"
"How do you know Ryuga-sama, Haruno?"
'I kicked his ass...'
"My parents are friends with him,"
"Is that so? Does he always visit you and your parents?"
"Uh, no..."
"Mmhmm, you're interesting,"
"Thanks?" Sakura watched him from the corner of her eyes.
"Who are you talking to, Haruno-san?"
"Ne, Hatake Kakashi, why are you asking me those questions?" asked Sakura, staring at him blankly.
"You're still with Kakashi?! Crap, stay away from him!"
"I just want to learn more about you... Haruno Sakura,"
Sakura froze in shock and looked into his serious sharp eyes.
He knew... He knew who she was! This is not good!
She could already see the disappointed look on Tsunade's face. Kakashi suddenly brought her into an empty classroom. The pinkett grabbed her hand back then rushed towards the back of the class.
She felt uncomfortable being alone with him.
"Haruno Sakura here in Tsuki High? Must be a because of Tsunade or Fugaku, hm?"
"Who... who the fuck do you think you are?" growled Sakura, glaring at him.
"He's Hatake Kakashi, 36 years old and former member of the underground Shirami Mafia. He used to eleminat and sabotage the works of the other mafias but it all changed as the leader of the Shirami Mafia blamed him for the death of one of his best mens. I understand him but I don't like him. Who would? He was a fromer member of the Shirami Mafia... my rival."
"Don't worry, I'm not here to stop you from what you're doing with Pein," sighed Kakashi, running a hand through his silver hair.
"Prove it," Sakura crossed her arms. "I don't trust you, sensei."
"Fine, come here,"
Sakura didn't hesitate and walked to stand infront of him. Emerald green eyes stared at black eyes. Kakashi leaned his head down to her face, not taking his eyes off of hers.
"Don't you dare kiss me-"
"Kizashi-san and Mebuki-san requested me to take care of you after the accident..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"WWHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT?!"
"Ouch! What's the matter, Haruno?!"
"You're lying!" shouted Sakura angrily. "Lies! ALL LIES!"
"Haruno, calm down-"
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" Sakura cried, stumbling backwards.
The door slammed opened, revealing students and teachers of the other classes next door. They heard Sakura's shouts and wanted to see what had caused the new student to shout like that.
All eyes were on Sakura and Kakashi.
None of them made the lightest sound as they keep staring at them.
Kakashi tried to reach her only to froze on his steps.
Tears streamed down the pinkett's cheek as she held her head in pain. Her parents would never ask for a favor from... someone like him. To many painful memories sarted to come back making Sakura sick.
Sakura caughed heavily and fell on her knees.
"Haruno!" Kakashi knelt next to her. "Haruno! Snap out of it!"
"D-don't touch me!" Sakura stood up, took a few steps away from him and lost her balance before she fell flat on her stomach.
"What's the meaning of this, Hatake?!" asked a teacher in shock.
"I-i don't know," replied Kakashi, trying help the pinkett. "Haruno-"
Sakura glared at him and starts to cought out blood.
"Oh my god! What's wrong with her?!
"Is she alright?!"
"Not time to ask questions! Someone must help her!"
"Hey! Let the teachers see what's going on, you fuckers! I want to see what's fucking happening!"
"Tch, I was not kidding when I said that you always get your things by scaring people, yeah. A cool teacher you are, yeah,"
"What did you say, SHEMALE?!"
"S-shemale?! Why you-"
"Whoa! Why is it so crowded?! Tobi wanna see something! Kisame-san! Pick me up!"
"No way! Don't you dare touch me!"
"Fine, then tell Tobi at least what's happening inside!"
"Annoying, there is- P-PINKIE?!"
"Eh? Pinkie?"
"What the hell happened to you?! Are you alright?"
Looking up at the familiar voice, Sakura saw Kisame's shocked face through her tears. "K-kisame-sensei..."
"Answer my questions, pinkie," Kisame pushed the students out of his way and approached the pinkett.
"Fish face! You fucking know her?"
"She doesn't look good, yeah,"
"Tch, you just notice it now?"
"Shut it, Sasori!"
Her eyes shifted from Kisame to the crimson-haired man next to the blond-haired teacher. Sakura's eyes widened slightly as she stared into his bored hazel-brown eyes. He too stared at her.
"You... you seem familiar to me," Sasori narrowed his eyes. "Your eyes..."
'Oh no,' Sakura coughed again. 'Why now?'
"Bring her to the infirmary! NOW!"
Sakura closed her eyes and laid her head on the cold floor.
o~O~o
"This sucks, first day at school and Ifinally caught the attention of maybe all students. I'll be the pink-haired freak starting tomorrow... maybe not. Pein will be so angry," muttered Sakura in annoyance and stared upat the white ceiling.
The clock on the wall signaled her that school will end in two hours.
A sigh escape her, Sakura closed her eyes and tried to remember what had happened to her.
"She doesn't look good, yeah,"
"Tch, you just notice it now?"
Her eyes shifted from Kisame to the crimson-haired man next to the blond-haired teacher. Sakura's eyes widened slightly as she stared at his bored Hazel-brown eyes. He too stared at her.
"You...you seem familiar to me," Sasori narrowed his eyes. "Your eyes..."
And everything went black...
"Wonderful, just wonderful," Sakura slowly sat up and notice that her school bag laid next to the table with two gifts, three folded notes and a chocolate box on it. Her eyes twitched as she took the chocolate box.
Dear, Pinkie
You really gave me a scare! Don't do that again! Oh, and the chocolate is from me, I hope it makes you feel better.
From: Hoshigaki Kisame (Uchiha Itachi)
Sakura chuckled in amusement and opened the chocolate box before stuffing a chocolate mouse in her mouth. She then took the other note and unfolded it while eating the other chocolate formed animals.
Dear, Haruno
I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. Please forgive me, I didn't knew that your parents hadn't told you that- Never mind, I called your 'business partner' and he threatened me that he'll have my head if something happen to you again.
Someone's over protective, eh? Anyway, I really didn't mean to shock you. Again, I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me for what I did. And get better soon.
P.S: I'm really not part of the S.M anymore. Forget about it.
From: Hatake Kakashi
"Huh? He hadn't done anything. I was the one who shouted like a psycho but if it's makes him feel better then I'll forgive him..." Sakura frowned slightly and took the last note from the table.
It was dark red colored instead of white like the two notes.
Sakura hesitate for a moment before she unfolded it and starts to read it.
Dear, Cherry
Her body froze, her hands began to tremble in fear and sweat slowly dripped down her forehead. She prayed to god that this note is not from him. Not him... anyone but him. Heck, she even wished that it was Pein!
Even though I'm not near you, I know that you're trembling in fear right now. You could already tell that I somehow broke out of jail but don't worry, I have no interest of killing you. I swear, I don't want to kill you. In fact, I would like to talk to you in public. Let's say... the cute café oposite of the shool is where we meet then we'll walk around the city to catch up times. You can see the café from the infirmary's window, right? I'm waiting for you there.
From: Anonymous
"Anonymous?" Sakura scoffed. "He hasn't changed at all."
Getting up, Sakura took her bag and packed the notes, two gifts and chocolate box in her bag before walking out of the infirmary room. She made sure that no one was in the hallways and made her way towards the café. As she stepped out of the school building, the pinkett turned her walky-talky on.
"Pein-san, can you hear me?"
No answer came back.
"God, please don't tell me that he left me alone," Sakura cursed quietly. "His lost... I won't help him if I met him again!"
She shook his head and ran towards the café. To her shock, she didn't except the one she hated the most talking to someone she doesn't want to see. He glared at the older red-haired male who gave him a bored look.
Clearing her troat, Sakura walked to their table.
He finally notice her presence...
"Oh, hello, Sakura-chan," he smirked. "Long time no see, I bet they praised you for putting me in juvy, am I right?"
"You two knew each other?"
"Mind your own business, Sa-so-ri..."
"I do what I want, dear cousin,"
"C-cousin?" Sakura stuttered, looking at the pale jade eyed person. "Y-you two are c-cousins?"
Sasori snorted. "I wish I'm not related to a loser who let himself getting caught by a pink-haired brat. But you're right... I'm related to-"
"Sabaku no Gaara," Sakura bit her bottom lip.
Gaara smirked, stood up and placed his forehead on hers.
"I heard everything while I was in juvy, dear... You. Can. Not. Escape. This. Time,"
