A/N: I'd like to thank OokamiLover19 for helping me figure some things out for this chapter. Thank you. To the rest of you, I hope you all enjoy the update.


-Skye-

Sasuke led the way through the throng of students going this way and that and I stayed as close to him as I could without actually holding onto him. He finally stopped once we reached a Sakura tree that was settled in the middle of the schoolyard with a wall of bricks surrounding it. I blinked in surprise at the beauty of it and felt the urge to sketch it, but when Sasuke spoke my attention was drawn from the tree to what he was saying.

"Guys."

He said and I looked from him to who he was talking to and saw about six people all lounging around the tree. There was a blone haired boy with what looked like whisker marks on his face talking to a auburn haired boy who looked like he wasn't paying him any attention considering he had his headphones in. There was a dark blue haired girl talking to a boy with coffee colored hair tied back into a ponytail, but somehow he managed to make it seem hot and not girly. Then there was a boy with dark brown, almost black hair pulled up into a spiky ponytail that oddly resembled a pineapple lying on the ground by the base of the tree with his eyes closed. From the soft snoring sounds that I heard from his direction I knew he was alseep. But what shocked me the most out of all of them was the boy with black hair in a bowl cut fashion with really bushy eyebrows wearing what looked to be a green spandex suit and orange legwarmers.

Just what kind of people do you hang out with Sasuke?

I wondered to myself as Sasuke spoke again and got everyone's attention.

"Oh Sasuke, when did you get here?"

The blonde asked as he turned from the red-head our way. I noticed he had bright blue eyes and he was pretty cute, but I could already tell he was a loud mouth and I didn't go for those kind of guys. Not that I'd be going for any kind of guy at the moment anyways.

"Don't you pay attention to anything you dweeb?"

Sasuke asked and I was surprised to see him talk to the blonde like that.

"Hey, don't be mean Sasuke! I was busy talking to Gaara!"

The blonde shouted and I cringed at his loud remark which made him look my way.

"Oi, who are you!?"

He asked, but before I could even think about answering he opened his mouth again.

"When will you fangirls get it? Sasuke's not interested, away with you!"

He shouted at me, but when I only stared at him like he was an idiot he suddenly frowned before jumping at me.

On instinct I backflipped out of the way before pushing off of the ground and landing lightly on my feet a few feet away from the blonde. I heard the shocked exclamations of those by the tree, but kept my eyes focused on the blonde who was coming after me again.

What's this guy's problem?

I wondered as I calmly dodged him each time. After a couple of minutes of him trying to, what I guess was pin me to the ground because he kept jumping around like a yellow haired grasshopper, I got annoyed and stopped dodging him and squared my shoulders as I waited for his next 'attack'. When he jumped at me again I side stepped him so he went past me slightly before I grabbed the back of his orange and black jacket as well as his outstretched arm, then I knocked his feet out from under him and flipped his ass over onto his back.

"What the fuck is your problem man!? Sasuke was about to tell you who I was if you would just shut your mouth and listen, and what the fuck makes you think I'm a fangirl? Do I look like a damn fangirl to you?"

I asked him and only got him blinking up at me in shock as a response. I sighed at his lack of an answer before turning my attention back to Sasuke who was staring at me with a shocked look on his face which made me smile just slightly. I walked back over to him and crossed my arms with a huff, blowing part of my bangs out of my face as I did so.


-Sasuke-

I know we had all gotten tired of the fangirls that seemed to follow me, Neji, and Gaara everywhere, but I hadn't expected Naruto to react the way he did. I was about to yell at the idiot to leave Skye alone when I saw her flip his ass onto the ground and start yelling at him. I couldn't do anything but stare in shock at her. She had barely said anything except for apologizing for this morning and now she had blown up on Naruto like I had never seen anyone do before.

She walked back over to my side and crossed her arms with a huff that made me smirk knowing Naruto didn't just annoy me.

"As I was saying before the dobe went crazy."

I said, ignoring Naruto's complaint as he got to his feet and joined our group of friends.

"This is Skye, she's an old family friend who's staying with me and Itachi since our house has too many rooms for just the two of us. She's, I think around Shikamaru's age, but you'd have to ask her for confirmation."

I said glancing at her to see her nod and smirked again before turning my attention back to the others.

"Skye, these are my friends."

I said, ignoring Naruto once again when he started yelling about how I finally called him my friend. The dweeb could be so annoying sometimes.

"The one asleep is Shikamaru Nara, he's your age but a Senior like Neji since they're both really smart."

I said, motioning first to Shikamaru then Neji.

"Neji is Hinata's cousin and they're both Hyugas. She's a Junior like me."

I said, introducing the shier of the two and Hinata waved timidly.

"The redhead sitting by the brick wall ignoring everyone is Gaara no Sabaku. He's mine and Naruto's age and has two siblings who are in college."

I said and he didn't even look up which only served to prove my point of him ignoring everyone.

"The one in the green spandex is Rock Lee. He's a Junior like the rest of us and stuck on youth. You'll know what I'm talking about when you talk to him."

I said when I saw the look Skye gave me.

"And the blonde dweeb who chased you around earlier is-"

"My name's Naruto Uzumaki!"

Naruto said popping up infront of us, cutting me off.

"Yes, that's Naruto. He's a Junior as well and as you can tell a knuckle head, loud, and a total dweeb."

I said and smirked at the offended look on Naruto's face.

"That's everyone I think."

I said as I looked around at our group of friends. I turned to look at Skye to see her response only to see her looking around at my friends as if slowly taking in who was who and storing it to memory.

"You don't have to try and remember everyone at once."

I said but she simply shook her head before turning to look at me with a small smile.

"It's fine, I want to remember them."

She said and I looked at her for a few minutes before shrugging it off. If she wanted to then who was I to stop her?

"So Skye-"

Naruto started, but whatever he had been about to say was cut off by the shrill ring of the bell telling us all that it was time for homeroom.

"Come on dweeb, we gotta get to class."

I said, walking past Naruto in the direction of our homeroom, but stopped when I remembered Skye didn't have a schedule yet.

"Go on ahead Sasuke, I know how schools work. I'll be fine."

She said, knowing what I was going to ask before I did so.

"You sure?"

I asked as Neji woke Shikamaru up and he, Lee, and Neji headed for their class while Hinata walked beside Naruto.

"Yeah. I'm not a child, but thanks."

She said with a smile and I hesitated a few minutes before nodding and turning to head to class. If she needed anything she knew my number, she could text me.


-Skye-

I watched as Sasuke headed for his class. I couldn't help but smile at the fact Sasuke seemed to have a good number of friends. I was slightly jealous of him to be honest, but I was the one who always seemed to push people away from me.

I was about to head for the office to get my schedule when I saw the redhead from before still sitting against the wall.

What did Sasuke say his name was, Guru? No, that's not right. Greg? No...Gaara I think it was.

I thought to myself as I walked over to him. I crouched down infront of him, making sure there was plenty of space between us before calling his name.

"Gaara."

I got no response so I tried again.

"Gaara!"

Still nothing.

Damn, just how loud does he have that music of his?

I wondered before reaching out with one of my hands and gently pulling out one of his earbuds.

Many things happened after that. I heard Skillet's Monster playing loudly from the headphone in my hand, a pale hand suddenly grasped my wrist tightly, and Gaara's eyes opened and glared right at me.
