Well hello! This is a Konoha's Prep Academy-fanfiction's new chapter. See ya the next chapter.
"Kenya, well played," Natsuki said to her cousin, as Sakura spoke to Kenya, who was sitting on a bench next to the soccer field.
"Thank you. Why did you come here?" Kenya, and looked at Sakura, blushing slightly
"Have you heard about Siraishi Ayako's disappearance yet?" Natsuki asked.
"Yes. My friend, and teammate Tsutomu is dating Ayako," Kenya said.
"When was the last time you saw Ayako?" Natsuki asked.
"About a couple of days ago at the soccer team's practice," Kenya said.
"She went to teff with Tsutomu after that, but didn't come to school the next day. At first, I thought Ayako had a cold, and was at home recovering from the flu," Kenya said.
"Okay. This is my new friend Haruno Sakura. Sakura, this is my cousin Namikaze Kenya," Natsuki introduced Sakura to her new friend.
"Nice to meet you. Would you like to go on a date with me sometime?" Kenya asked Sakura.
"Ummmm..." Sakura mumbled shyly.
"Heh heh!" Natsuki scoffed. "Not NOW, have more important problems on our hands...like the missing GIRL?"
"True. I've just had a crush on Sakura for a while," Kenya said. "When Tsutomu went to Ayako's house to check on her, Ayako and her family weren't home, and the whole house was a mess."
"They say there was some blood on the living room floor. Tsutomu called the police, but they didn't find any leads," Kenya said.
"That's pretty suspicious," Natsuki said.
Kenya took a towel from her bag, and wiped her forehead with it:
"They say it was the same at Tenten's house."
"Do you know of any other cases like this?" Natsuki asked.
"Mikoto, a girl named Minami Kumi disappeared from school. I heard about it from a friend of mine, who studies there," Kenya said. "Kumi's house was the same, when my friend went there to check on her."
"Thank you SO much for the information, Kenya.", says Sakura cheerfully.
Kenya runs his long fingers through his shoulder-length blonde hair as Sakura hugs his skinny frame.
Natsuki rolls her eyes.
"The nerve of this fool", Natsuki thought.
"C'mon, people, we've got a story to cover...!"
As Natsuki walks off, Kenya whispers in Sakura's ear:
"Is she always like this...?"
"Only when she needs a headliner...like now."
"My cousin is a bit of a loner, but a good girl. Here's my phone number," Kenya gave Sakura her phone number.
Natsuki walked into the school newspaper's editorial office to see Sasuke staring at Natsuki:
"You've already settled in here."
Sasuke was a tall, athletic boy. He was a year older than Natsuki, and Sasuke's hair was black like his eyes, and his skin was fair. He was wearing a white t-shirt, black pants, and black shoes.
Natsuki started to prepare the school newspaper.
"So other schools have really lost girls. What exactly is going on?" Natsuki wondered worriedly.
"What the hell do you want, Uchiha?" Natsuki asked, when Sasuke entered the school newspaper's editorial room.
Sasuke chuckled, and came closer:
"You know. You were always hard to talk to."
"Yea. I wonder why. Get out. I'm busy, and I don't wanna be seen with a scumbag like yourself. A lot of girls have complained to me about your behavior lately," Natsuki said.
Natsuki sat down at the table, and then started to rub her shoulders.
"Why would Sasuke want to talk to me?" Natsuki wondered, looking at Sasuke.
"Why are you staring at me?" Natsuki asked, blushing a little as Sasuke looked at Natsuki.
Sasuke looks at her:
"Why...are you...? You changed."
"You look tense, is all. Shut up," Natsuki said.
Sasuke smirks:
"You can't tell me what to do."
"It's MY newspaper stand...! Kami, why do girls fall in LOVE with you?" Natsuki asked.
"Do you know anything about the recent disappearances?" Natsuki asked.
"Hehe!" Sasuke scoffs. "Are you kidding me as a suspect? You think I killed her, didn't you?"
"Of course not! Why would I accuse you of such a crime without any proof?" Natsuki asked.
"I know you don't like me, Uzumaki. Everyone knows you're the most irritating one in all of Mikoto. And you know Kiba," Sasuke said.
"I just don't want boys laughing at me behind my back," Natsuki blushed a little. "And someone here needs to show you, that girls can be strong too. And don't talk bad about my friend's boyfriend. Why are you even talking to me?"
Sasuke walked in front of Natsuki.
"What does Sasuke want?" Natsuki wondered, looking at Sasuke, who was looking at Natsuki.
Sasuke shrugs:
"Just wanted to see, what goes on in here, then I run into you."
"Your little girlfriends aren't here," Natsuki snorted.
"I don't have a girlfriend...yet," Sasuke said.
"Where exactly did you lose your girlfriend?" Natsuki asked.
"Lost...? I'm not the dating-type," Sasuke said.
"You talk to a lot of girls at school, one of whom is now missing. The girls clearly like you, even though you act rude," Natsuki said.
"Ugh. Get over yourself. I'm...picky about whom I like," Sasuke said.
"Is that so?" Natsuki said, starting to read, what had just been printed school newspaper.
"Who, or what, could be responsible for the disappearance of those missing girls and their families?" Natsuki wondered.
"You're still here, I see," Natsuki said after putting the papers on the magazine rack, and then looking at Sasuke, who was still in the same room, as Natsuki.
"Do you have any business? If your business isn't about those missing girls, then I don't think your business will be of any help in writing the article I planned," Natsuki told Sasuke, and began writing the article in her notebook, which she took out of her school bag.
"Sometimes, you are a pain," Sasuke said.
"And you're hard to interpret," Natsuki said. "Anyway, tell me if you have something to say to me. I have business for you too. I hear you've been asking questions of some people lately. What kind of questions are they?"
"Mostly about that stupid girl," Sasuke said.
"WATCH that mouth of yours!" Natsuki shouted angrily. She was about to tear her notebook to pieces, because she was, so angry at Sasuke now, but she didn't, because she knew Sasuke clearly enjoyed tormenting Natsuki. "Can you stop talking bad about my friends? You're the one trying to piss me off twice a week."
"Why am I even trying to tell Sasuke to clean his mouth when he doesn't?" Natsuki asked herself.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Natsuki asked after seeing Sasuke staring at Natsuki. After finishing the article, Natsuki finished the school newspaper, and then went to the tennis-court to get something else to think about, and to see Sakura practicing tennis on the tennis-court holding a tennis-racket in her hand the wrong way:
"Sorry Sakura, but that's not the right way to handle a tennis-racket, this is the right way to handle a tennis racket." Natsuki walked behind Sakura, and then placed her right hand on Sakura's right hand, moving the tennis racket in the right way, making Sakura blush a little.
"Now try it yourself," Natsuki said, sitting on a bench near the tennis-court to watch Sakura practice. Surprisingly, Sasuke walked over, and sat on the same bench with Natsuki.
"What do you want? Do you want to give your opinion on those recent disappearances?" Natsuki asked Sasuke.
"Why are these events even happening?" Natsuki thought, as she read her notes. She put her notes back in her bag, and then started talking to Sasuke:
"Sorry about the earlier one, but I'm a little stressed out right now, because of work, and these disappearances are also worrying me a little."
(Later)
Later, it was art class, and Natsuki sat on a chair while Sakura drew a picture of Natsuki, as Hana-sensei had given the students the task of drawing portraits of their partners, that Hana had chosen for the students.
"Acting as a model is boring now, that all my thoughts are on those recent disappearances," Natsuki mused.
"Is the drawing finished yet?" Natsuki asked Sakura.
Natsuki glanced around to see, that it was raining outside.
"Not quite yet," Sakura said.
"Girls, focus on the lesson. I understand, that those recent disappearances are worrying you," Hana said.
"Sorry," The girls said.
Hana just smiled at the girls.
Finally, the drawing was finished, and Sakura showed it to Natsuki.
"Well drawn," Natsuki said.
"It's been raining for a while," Natsuki thought, looking quickly out the window. It was even starting to get windy outside.
The clouds looked very gloomy.
"I hope there's no storm coming," Someone said.
"The storm was still missing here," Natsuki said.
