So, yeah, my cute little readers. I'm still updating the Guarded Love, don't worry but needless to say I'm too bored to write new chapters for the others... Horrible, I know... But you can't blame me... I lost interest in many stories, and decided that I had to rewrite this story I'm planning on uploading and I'm gonna do so...
Now, about the story, it's an AU, completely. Some things will seem kind of strange, like ages or something, so just don't ask those stupid questions about why things happen like the happen. No offense, anyone.
Also, the story is already written, I'm just correcting it, making it sound more realistic, and the only thing you guys should know is that I'm not planning on changing anything. So, yeah...
Read and review.
Haruno Sakura was a happy girl. She was smart, she was beautiful and she was in love... or so she thought, but it wasn't important. Her little short life was focused around a certain solo survivor of the legendary Uchiha Clan, Sasuke Uchiha. Now, she didn't care if he was a little broody and eventually radiated dark aura around himself from time to time. No, what she cared about was that he was cool, smart, handsome and single.. not to mention he had his own share of fangirls. And she was a proud member of the said club.
Today Haruno Sakura wasn't happy. She just overheard from the academy teachers that their class had a new student and he or she was supposed to join them today. Sakura couldn't help but race over towards her classmates t otell them the exciting news.
"Forehead?!" exclaimed the Heiress of the Yamanaka Clan, Ino, who just saw her ex-best friend running for her life towards them. The pink haired girl was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't even responded to the insult.
"Did you hear that we have a new student joining us today?" panted Sakura as she stopped.
"Are you sure? It's the day when we find out in which team we are, why would the academy allow someone join us at this time?" always the skeptical Tenten raised the eyebrow.
"I...I don't know... I overheard Iruka-sensei talking to the other academy teacher, so I don't think it's a lie"
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I personally hope it's a girl" Kiba Inuzuka, Heir of the Inuzuka Clan, smirked at the girls.
"K-kiba-kun!" Hinata blushed at her teammate. He was always so bold.
"Well, we better get back in the academy, class will be starting soon" suggested Chouji of Akimichi Clan and the friends entered the Konoha Academy.
As everybody sat down on their sits and Ino and Sakura fighting over who would sit next to their precious Sasuke-kun, Umino Iruka entered the classroom he both hated and loved. And he now hated this class. The majority of students were the clan members and they all always thought they were smarter than the students from the civilian families. Iruka resisted the sigh at the sight of his precious students and screamed loudly.
"Everybody, shut the hell up and sit down!"
Now, class knew that their Iruka-sensei was a patient man and when he yelled, or worse, cursed it wasn't a good idea to ignore him. So everybody sat down where they were supposed to sit and the class went quiet.
Now Iruka sighed at their reactions and still smiled at them.
"Alright, then, class, from now own we will have a new student joining us. She's very shy so don't ask her far too many questions at once, alright?" as the students nodded, Iruka called out "Come in!"
The class door was opened and a short girl entered the classroom.
"Her name is Uzumaki Naruto"
Life wasn't what he loved the most. Sasuke knew that. That fateful night when his dear olders brother suddenly decided to slaughter the whole clan in mere hours, Sasuke learned that life was harsh, horrible, unfair and sometimes boring. He also knew that besides his olders brother there was only one thing he hated the most and they were called fangirls. Sasuke didn't only hated them, but sometimes even feared them. Now, he wasn't a coward but the stalking, giggling, blushing and endless suggestions of dates were really getting on his nerves and he often thought if these girls were even sane. So, yes, he feared insane people.
And as his good-for-nothing sensei announced loudly that they would have a new girl in their class, he was SO sure that she would be a fangirl too.
He eyed the girl for a moment and saw that she had the most surprising hair color he had even seen in his life. Black? Yes, everyday in his mirror. Blue? Sometimes, when he walked in the streets. Brown? You didn't have to ask? Pink and blond? Everyday, in the classroom. So yes, he was very surprised to see that the new girl had the crimson red hair. The girl also had dull blue eyes and three whisker-like scars on each cheek.
Wait a minute... whiskers?
Sasuke did the double check. Indeed the girl had the three horizontal marks on each cheeks.
Huh..? And what the hell is she wearing? That skirt is too short for her. And... Orange?! Too many orange! What a horrible color and what a horrible girl! Damn!
Sasuke just knew the girl would be unimportant.
"Naruko will sit next to Uchiha Sasuke" said Iruka when he noticed that the class was staring at the girl. He didn't even manage to finish the sentence when the fangirls began screaming loudly.
"What? No way! Why the hell is this demon going to sit beside Sasuke-kun? I'm the only one who can sit next to him"
"Shut up, Ino-pig! We both know, I'm the only one he loves" yelled Sakura
"You, forehead? Don't make me laugh, please"
Sasuke noticed that the new girl was trembling all over. She inhaled deeply and walked closely to the two girls with long steps.
"Never, ever, call me the demon again or I'll kill both of you!" she spoke quietly but everyone heard her, even Sasuke. He stared into her eyes. They were red now, bloody red and full with hatred. From this very moment, he knew he was wrong. This girl definitely wasn't as shy as his sensei thought. No, she wasn't like the others either, she was truly different.
The fangirls were staring at her in shock and were about to say something very terrible when Iruka finally stopped them
"Alright, girls, calm down, please. Sasuke, raise your hand!" Sasuke sighed and did as he was asked. Naruko walked to his desk and glared at him.
"Don't talk to me, Tebbane!" she looked at Iruka was now staring the daily routine.
As if the almighty Uchiha Sasuke was going to talk and talk to a girl neverless. Meh.
"Well class, I'm really proud of you. From today you are all the Genins. Serve Konoha right, because being a shinobi isn't easy..."
And with that Uchiha Sasuke tuned out his sensei, that is until he heard his name.
"Team 7: Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke"
Needless to say there was a silence for a few moments before Sakura jumped up, yelling on top of her lungs.
"YES!" she turned to Ino and gave her a smirk "love conquers all"
"Great! I'm doomed" Sasuke mentally face palmed.
Surprisingly Uzumaki was quiet but as soon as Iruka was finished, the red head folowed him outside.
"Iruka-sensei! Can I talk for you for a while?" Iruka looked back and saw his new student running towards him.
"Naruko? Is something wrong?" asked the worried teacher.
"Wrong? Yes! Definitely! Why the hell do I have to be with these Uchiha and Haruno brats?" she yelled at him and put the hands on her hips.
"Why don't you like them?" asked bewildered Iruka.
"Because of that Uchiha, my first day in the academy was terrible! I already have enemies. Enemies, sensei and I just became the ninja!"
"Sandaime decided that you have to be with Sasuke. There's nothing I can do with that decision, Naruto, I'm truly sorry"
"But that's not fair, sensei!"
"Well, take care of yourself and good luck" he smiled at her and was gone with the wind.
New Team 7 sat on the roof of the academy after Kakashi's dramatic entrance. The three of them sat not too far from each other. Originally it was Sasuke between the two girls. On the right sat Sakura wit her dreamy face, and on the left side sat brooding Naruto, who still couldn't believe why her so loved grandpa Sandaime had doomed her like that.
Naruto eyed his new teacher from distance. The man was tall, taller than anyone she'd even see. He had grey, more like silver hair which that defied gravity. He was wearing standard Jounin uniform with Chunin green vest.
"Well guys, I'm your new teacher" said Kakashi not so cheerfully. Definitely not amused by his new students "let's try to find out more about ourselves, so please introduce yourselves"
"You're a teacher, you start" said Sakura oh-so-wisely. Naruto shook her head dramatically. She didn't miss the glance Kakashi gave her teammate.
"Hmm... My name's Kakashi Hatake... My likes and dislikes.. I don't think you need to know that... My hobby is definitely none of your business..." he eye smiled at them "Now it's you turn, pinky"
"I'm Sakura Haruno. I like.." the pinkette looked at Sasuke and sighed dreamily "umm..my hobby is.. and my dream.." suddenly she screamed and then bursed into giggles. Naruto eyed the girl, doubting her sanity.
"Umm..." Kakashi pointed to the last Uchiha "your turn, boy"
"Uchiha Sasuke" Sasuke sounded like... Sasuke "I don't like nothing and hate many things. What I've isn't a dream because it will be the reality, I've to restore my clan and kill someone"
Naruto rolled eyes.
Am I supposed to be surprised?
"Interesting. You are next, red head"
"My name's Uzumaki Naruto, not red head. To cut in short, I hate everything. I've just one dream and I'll make sure that it will be reality soon"
She mentally slapped herself. I sound like Uchiha brat. What a drag!
Kakashi glanced at them again and nodded.
"Alright then, guys. Now that we know each other, I will be more frank. You still have the exam to pass to become the ninjas. Remember, being ninja isn't something you can joke around. It's a lifetime duty, that needs to be fulfilled"
"And, exactly, what the hell do you mean we have to pass the exam?" asked Naruto with a frown on her face.
"Yes, we already passed the exam" agreed Sakura.
"Well, that exam was to see if anyone in the academy had the necessary skills to become a ninja. The real tests starts tomorrow. You should know that not whole graduation class will become shinobi. There's the 66% failure in the next exam, only 9 students can be true Genins" Kakashi wasn't happy to discuss with them about some stupid exam.
"And what are we gonna do about that?" asked Naruto again.
"Be prepared. Tomorrow at 6 a.m. be at the training ground seven and don't be late"
And as the entrance was dramatic, so was his exit. He poofed away.
