Oh hi, I'm back again with a new story. It's going to be another high school related story with Naruto characters but they are going to band camp, lawlz. Yeah I'm a bando and I think it would be hilarious to do this.

"Talking"
'Thinking'
Ch. 1 GOOOOOOOD MORNING BAND!
"Fuck being here at five in the morning," a girl grumbled as she lugged a suitcase through the school parking lot.
Sakura Haruno brushed a hand through her vibrant pink hair and looked towards the high school. It was the first week in August which could only mean one thing, band camp.
Konoha High School was known for their excellent marching band which always received top ratings, while their football team didn't do as well. Fans only came to the games to see the cheerleaders in their skimpy outfits and the marching band doing their thing at half-time.
Sakura was lucky enough to be one of the three drum majors of the band this year as a junior. The only downside was that she had to do it with two other seniors who already knew what they were doing. Another downside, she was the only girl and was sure she would be given hell for it.
She wasn't an unattractive girl either, she had grown up from being the little freshman she was two years ago that boys didn't even look twice at. Over the summer she decided she would perfect her appearance since she now was a leader of the band and people would be looking at her more.
She was average height, about 5'6", and had a lean form with just the right amount of curves. She had creamy skin that you could see from the shorts and T-shirt she was wearing. Her bubble gum hair was always the first thing people looked at because it wasn't something you saw everyday, but it was in fact natural. She had shocking emerald eyes, which you could easily read her emotions from, matched with plump lips and a perfect nose.
Yes, Sakura Haruno would turn some heads in the auditorium when everyone saw her after summer vacation.
"SAKURA-CHAN!"
Her head turned behind her to find one of her best friends, Naruto Uzumaki. He was the loudest and most obnoxious person she knew, but she still loved him. He had blonde spiky hair and bright blue eyes. He had lines on his cheeks that almost looked like whiskers and when he smiled it made you want to smile to, plus he was a heartthrob amongst the ladies. His muscular physique and tanned skin made you want him to just hold you for hours. Naruto was the leader of the loudest section in the band, the trumpets. He fit in perfectly there. If he wasn't there it's believed that the rest of the section wouldn't listen to anyone.
She laughed as he greeted her with a hug, "Hello dear."
They proceeded to do their secret handshake and walk up to the entrance to the band room together. Naruto wasn't fazed by her new appearance since they hung out over the summer but she defiantly felt he was friendlier around her now.
"Got all your stuff drum major Sakura?" he asked jokingly pulling behind his giant suitcase and a whole case of instant ramen.
"You can't live without that stuff for a week?" Sakura asked signaling to the case of ramen as they reached the doors.
"You know he can't," stated a voice to their right.
There stood Kiba Inuzuka the assistant section leader of the trombone section. He was known for making plenty of sexual jokes related to his instrument such as "Why are trombones the best lovers? Trumpets do it with three fingers, baritones do it with four, and trombones do it in seven positions!" Typical Kiba, but people tolerate his jokes because guys found them funny and girls found him attractive.
He was tall and built with tanned skin and a mop of messy brown locks. He had dark brown eyes and upside-down red triangles tattooed on his face which gave him the 'bad ass' look.
Kiba high-fived Naruto and dramatically bowed in front of Sakura, "Good morning your drum majorness. I promise to be on my best behavior today but I can't make any promises."
Sakura chuckled and gave him a playful punch to the arm as they made their way inside.
They got their name tags and lanyards to put the tags on and went back outside to load their luggage on the trucks.
Camp was at Konoha State University every year and it was about an hour and a half bus ride up to the campus. They also had to be enclosed on a crappy school bus for that period of time with annoying freshman that could hardly contain their excitement.
They saw some of their other friends already in line and went to join them.
"Hey guys," Sakura greeted stifling a yawn as it was still only around five in the morning.
Standing there was Neji and Hinata Hyuga, they were cousins. Neji was the alto saxophone section leader and Hinata was the assistant clarinet section leader. They were both very calm and collective but Neji was more upfront while Hinata was extremely shy.
Neji had grown up to be good friends with Sakura since they were in advanced classes together at school. He was very handsome with long chestnut hair and light skin but the most noticeable thing with Hyuga's is their pale lavender eyes that looked as though they could pierce through your soul.
Hinata had those same eyes compliment with dark hair. She was very curvy but you couldn't really tell under the clothes she wore. She also had a habit of stuttering when she spoke due to her shy nature.
"G-good morning Sakura-Chan," Hinata greeted giving her a warm smile.
"Good morning Sakura," Neji greeted with a smile as he looked her over. "You look nice."
"Why thank you sir," she replied as she him a salute, "Where's everyone else?"
"I'm here!" a female voice called.
The all turned to find the mellophone section leader, Tenten. Contrary to popular belief a mellophone was not a fucked up trumpet, it was a marching French horn. Tenten really believed in 'chick power' and she was extremely strict when it came to her leadership. She was more of a tomboy at heart. She had chocolate colored hair that she wore in two braided buns on the side of her head. Her eye color matched that of her hair and she was pretty tall for a girl. She almost acted as one of the guys, which is what Sakura liked about her. They were two in the same.
"I have also arrived," announced a high pitched voice.
Ino Yamanaka, the biggest girly girl you'll ever meet and the flute section leader. She waltzed around with long platinum blonde hair and dark blue eyes, she was known for being a hit among the guys. But she was no slut, she knew her limits. Sure she liked to flirt and with a body like hers she knew exactly how to do it. Even though Ino and Sakura argued a lot they were still good friends.
"We're so glad you could grace us with your presence your majesty," Kiba joked as he poked her in the side making her laugh.
"Where are Chouji and Shikamaru?" Naruto asked holding back a yawn.
"Well you know Shikamaru," Ino started, "Lazy as ever so he's probably just now getting out of bed. And Chouji well being a tuba player he doesn't care much either."
Shikamaru Nara was the trombone section leader and lazy as a bump on a log. He doesn't fit in with his section at all since he doesn't find humor in sexual innuendos but he is the leader so that the section will actually get work done. He is quite the intellectual and handsome fellow. Top of the junior class with tanned skin and muddy brown hair that is slicked back into a ponytail. He even has one of his ears pierced and he's the only guy that won't date Ino, which she was pissed about but eventually got over.
Chouji on the other hand was currently dating Ino. They made an odd couple to say the least. Ino being the extremely attractive blonde that she is was dating the typical perception of a tuba player, chubby. Yeah, Chouji was a little heavy set with light brown hair and dark eyes but Ino still likes him. Plus apparently tuba players are high up on the 'bando popularity chart.'
Yes, there is a popularity chart amongst the bandos.
Ino came over to Sakura and nudged her in the side, "Sooooo," she purred, "Where are your other drum majors?"
"You are not going to go flirt with them," Sakura told her with a glare as she pulled her suitcase forward.
"Aw, jealous that I can have them?" Ino asked with a cat like smile.
Sakura smirked knowing she could end Ino's little game, "On second thought, take them away. But you'll have to inform Chouji."
Ino creased her perfect brows, "Jeez someone can't take a joke," she huffed as she watched Sakura haul her heavy luggage onto the truck.
"You don't joke with a cranky drum major at 5:30 in the morning," a voice replied, "Especially when it's Sakura."
Sakura turned her head from her bags and glared, "You're one to talk Mr. I-have-a-stick-up-my-ass-at-all-times."
Naruto laughed, "She told you teme."
The teme? Sasuke Uchiha, player and total jerk. His personality fit in with his section in the band as well, drumline. They think they are the best of the best and a lot of the times they are, but Sasuke takes it to a new level. He's known for flirting with countless girls, going out with them, then ditching them for another. But with being an Uchiha it's a given seeing as how they're the richest and most prestigious family in the whole town. Plus he's even got the looks to match it. Black hair that's longer in the front and spiked in the back matched with extremely dark eyes that have a red tint. He's also really pale but that just accents his beauty even more. Sasuke was good friends with Naruto but he usually rubbed everyone else the wrong way, especially Sakura.
Sasuke smirked at her comment only to get a rise out of her, "What? Not happy to see me?"
Sakura just gave him a disgusted look, "Go fuck yourself."
She turned back to her heavy luggage and tried pulling it up again with no avail.
"Here let me help you with that squirt," a voice told her.
She looked up to find Kisame Hoshigaki, the tuba section leader, pulling her suitcase onto the truck with ease.
Sakura huffed and gave him a pout, "Don't call me squirt! I'm not that short! It just seems that way to you because you're abnormally tall."
He just ruffled her hair with his large hand, "Whatever you say little miss drum major."
Kisame was probably the tallest person people have seen reaching past 6'5" and his muscular form made him look even bigger. He had dyed his hair blue and gotten gill tattoos on his cheekbones so that he could look like a shark, weird right? His skin even had a bit of a blue hue to it. Kisame was a senior and let everyone know it seeing as he could be a bully at times, but he was relatively nice to Sakura which surprised even his friends.
"You look better squirt," Kisame stated bluntly giving her a sharky grin, "Trying to impress me?"
Sakura jumped down from the truck with Kisame following suit and laughed, "Oh of course Kisame you know me, I love me some extremely tall tuba player and I'd do anything to get some."
"I thought so," He replied still grinning, "Well your new partners sent me here to retrieve you."
"Oh they did?" she groaned looking toward her friends and back to Kisame, "Can't you tell them I'm busy or something?"
He gave her a smirk again, "I was not allowed to take no for an answer. So you can either come quietly or I'll carry you there. It's your choice."
She sighed and waved to her friends as she followed Kisame to the auditorium.
He rested his arm on her head as they walked but Sakura didn't care, she was still too tired and made that clear when she yawned.
"Didn't sleep well last night squirt?" Kisame asked still using her as an armrest.
She shook her head, "I never get enough sleep the day before band camp. I'm too anxious."
"Aw did you hear that yeah?" a voice asked, "She's excited to see us!"
Sakura groaned and looked up to be greeted by the faces of her other two drum majors; Deidara and Itachi Uchiha.
Deidara was a loudmouthed senior who could be a real charmer. He had long blonde hair that was partly pulled up into a pony tail with bangs that went over one of his bright blue eyes. He was know for his smile which made girls weak at the knees and with a smile alone he could make people putty in his artistic hands.
And yes there was another Uchiha, who happened to be Sasuke's older brother. Itachi was very cool and collected. He never showed unnecessary emotions which was probably why girls loved him. Along with his personality and 'hot bod' he was blessed with good looks just like his younger bother. Long raven hair that was pulled into a ponytail behind his neck matched with dark eyes with a tint of red. He was also head drum major, Deidara and Sakura were just his assistants. Just more to add to his already giant ego.
Deidara jumped off the stage and ran over to Sakura looking her over, "Wow Sakura-Chan you look good, yeah."
"Thank you?" she replied as she removed Kisame's arm from her head.
"It seems we've woken up on the wrong side of the bed, Haruno."
Sakura looked casually up at the auditorium stage to find a smug older Uchiha glancing back at her.
She gave him a mild glare, "Well Uchiha I'd have to say you're family isn't exactly a ray of sunshine in the morning either."
He just returned her rude comment with a smirk which made her exhale sharply.
"Whoa kitten, retract those claws," Kisame joked as he took a seat in one of the many isles.
Sakura mumbled a line of curse words as she made her was up to the stage and sat with her legs dangling over the edge.
Deidara ran and slide up next to her and threw and arm around her smaller shoulders, "We're gonna have so much fun together, yeah."
Sakura just groaned and hung her head as the rest of the band member filed in.
Once everyone was seated Deidara started to speak.
"Morning everyone, yeah," he greeted giving one of his heart racing smiles.
His fan girls squealed as the rest of the band returned his greeting.
"I'm Deidara for those of you who don't know me, yeah. And I'll be one of your assistant drum majors this marching band season," Deidara explained as he looked through the crowd.
Some girls continued to screech and whistle as he moved to the side.
"I'm Itachi Uchiha," the eldest Uchiha stated making his way towards the front of the stage, "And I will be your head drum major this season."
Itachi also had his fair share of fan girls who cheered for him and commented on how 'sexy' he was. Sakura just stifled her laughter and made her way to the center of the stage as Itachi moved aside.
She gazed through the crowd and saw her friends smiling at her.
"I'm Sakura Haruno," she introduced.
"OW OW!" Kiba chanted with a smile.
"SEXY MAMA!" Ino yelled back as she laughed along with Kiba.
Naruto let out a wolf whistle and gave her a wink.
Sakura laughed, "Yeah…and I'm also going to be your assistant drum major this season. And yes seniors, even though I'm a junior, I have authority."
"Since the director…isn't here yet we will start by taking attendance by section," Itachi explained calmly as he noted the number of people in the auditorium, "Section leaders take attendance and reply when Sakura calls your section."
Deidara threw Sakura her clip board as she listed off the sections, "Flutes?"
"All here," Ino called back.
"Clarinets?"
"Here," replied the solemn voice of Konan.
Konan was one of the few female section leaders that were a senior. She had royal blue hair that always held a flower hair clip as white as her skin.
"Alto sax?"
"Here," Neji replied softly.
"Tenor sax?"
"We're in the fucking house!" a male voice declared.
Sakura groaned, 'I never did like Hidan…'
Hidan was known for his foul mouth. He could care less if he was in the presence of a lady or the elderly, he would cuss to his hearts contempt. He was tall and built with silvery hair and violet eyes. Even with his horrible choice of words he still had girls flocking to him.
"Mellophones?"
"We're good," Tenten called back.
"Trumpets?"
"Yes Ma'am!" Naruto replied giving Sakura a smile.
She continued to smile as she read off sections, "Trombones?"
"Bones in the house!" Kiba chanted while Shikamaru sat with his feet propped up on a chair.
"Baritones?"
"Here," a deep voice replied quietly.
Kakuzu was a strange guy but he fit in with his assigned section, Baritones. Not as cool as the tubas and not a perverted as the trombones, just stuck in the middle. He had dark tanned skin along with dark hair and forest green eyes. He also had many scar like tattoos in various places on his body because he thought they were 'cool', again with the fitting in of the section.
"Tubas?"
"Present," Kisame replied making a funny face at her.
She just stuck her tongue out back to him, "Drumline?"
"Here," replied a silky smooth voice.
Sasori. Another silent but handsome leader of the band. On top of that he has the coolest section but drummers egos take a big part in their ability to play. Sasori is the best but there were still many other diamonds in the ruff. Sasori had rusty red hair and lazy light brown eyes. He was also an artist and best friends with Deidara.
Sakura tucked some hair behind her ear, "And, Color guard?"
"No need to worry boys," a trying to sound sexy voice called, "We're all here."
Sakura rolled her eyes at the girl. Her name was Karin and she was probably the biggest whore on the planet, in Sakura and many other members' opinions. She dyed her hair flame red to make herself stand out which she poofed and teased in all which ways. She had almost maroon looking eyes and way too much make-up on. It almost made her look like a drag queen. She wore really skimpy shorts and a low cut top. You could tell she was trying to show people everything she could without flashing them.
'Hag nasty…,' Sakura thought to herself as she suppressed a look of disgust and tossed the clipboard back to Deidara.
Kiba and a few others made gagging noises at her which Sakura couldn't help but smirk at.
"Trombones," Itachi called out, "I suggest you control yourselves. The director is on his way in."
That immediately shut them up as the back doors suddenly opened revealing a man.
He gave them a crinkled smile, "GOOOOOOOOD MORNING BAND!"
Sakura sweat dropped as the man walked up the isle and onto the stage leaving the band whispering in their seats.
"My name is Kakashi Hatake and I'll be your band director during your time at Konoha High school," He introduced as he slung his arms around Sakura and Itachi's shoulders, "And since I'm late, due to being lost on the road of life, the buses are already here and waiting so we should head out."
Sakura groaned and looked up at him, "Kakashi-sensei if you were on time we wouldn't have had to make them wait so long."
Kakashi just gave her one of his smiles and patted her head.
Truth be told Kakashi was a very handsome teacher. Silver hair spiked up with dark eyes, pale skin, and a muscular physique. The one odd thing was that he wore a mask on the bottom half of his face and had a small scar over one of his eyes. It gave him that mysterious kind of look which was why even some students had a small crush on him.
Deidara just gave an annoyed huff, "Alright, yeah. Everybody head onto your assigned buses. We leave according to seniority so seniors go first."
Deidara ran over to Sakura and lifted her into a hug and left quickly after while Itachi just gave her a nod.
Sakura exhaled as she jumped off the stage to join her friends. As she reached them Naruto slung an arm around her shoulders as Kiba slung one around her waist.
"Let's go most beautiful drum major!" Naruto exclaimed giving her a goofy smile.
"Yeah we can all sit in a seat together if you catch my drift," Kiba joked as he wiggled his eyebrows causing everyone to laugh.
Maybe an hour and a half bus ride wouldn't be so bad after all.
Well HELLO! And thanks for reading this chapter. BTW: color guard means flag twirlers incase you didn't know. Don't forget to READ and REVIEW!
