Yes, I'm actually feeling lazy to separate the two sections of my journal entry for today. I think It'll be just a bother, so deal with it. *kisses*
Whatever. It's freaking 9am in the morning and I badly needed to sleep. Stupid work...
Streetwise (
senrei_yume) is very kind to beta my fic,
Reincarnation . So I owe her for straightening up my grammar, LOL. And she's rather fast, ureshi naa ^^ . So well more hugs and loves for ye and more loves means more narusasu fanart demettt!!!! XXDDDDD
here ya go sweetie, this is dedicated for ye. (and yes, I'm actually lazy that I havent uploaded the betaed version of Episode 5 Part 1 yet on FF.net *wince*
(usual protocol, hunnies. click to fullview. please don't take. I'm rather lazy on watermarking but I'll color one of them later so dont worry, the colored version is entirely snaggable. Just don't take this one 'yet')
And give me the liberty to do this first
*screams*
*sighs* there you go.
This started out as me getting really inspired and in-love with the two of them but when I've finished it, I kind of get mad at this piece because it turned out that the lineart is horrid. This is one of the time when I've been really out of practice in doing linearts, having work in digitals and graphics and all. And I get bitchy on the wrong shading and the wrong distribution of thick-and-thin lines *grr* Bad, bad, bad. So I kinda get discontented at it that I sketched a new one. it's not inked yet, I'm not sure which senrei wants (they're kind of sweet in their own different way) so... well I'll leave the decision to her of what I'm going to color and/or inking. This is a gift for her after all.
Warning: This is an early, unedited, non-html-formated release of 05 Part 2. Please do not read if you have problems with it. I'll be alerting everybody if I've updated on the betaed version over ff.net. This is supposed to be for Senrei-chan's eyes only.

Reincarnation Episode 05
- His Resolution Part Two -
It’s been five days since the incident happened. Everybody noticed the tension between the class delinquent and the Class Representative but did not dare say a word.
An aloof, scowling longhaired boy walks along the hall alone. Almost every eye turns to him every time he passes by. However, the young student ignored all the attention and continues to sulk on anything and everything
Arriving 10 minutes before the start of classes is late on her standards.
Sasuke can’t help it. Even though she kept telling herself that Naruto did that because he does not know anything, she still can’t really help feeling hurt and upset over the matter. And she can’t help being mad with Naruto either. They had been sniping each other for these past few days, much to her chagrin. In addition, her period is still not finished yet. She rubbed the fading bruise on her shoulder.
“Stupid female hormones” She muttered under her breath.
“Uchiha-chan” A cheerful voice floats behind her.
She turned around and regarded her Homeroom Adviser with a curt greeting.
“Well, I’ll be watering some lilies at the back today, so I’ll appear late in our Homeroom, or not at all. Would you please do the checking of our attendance while I’m absent? I’ll be back if I can.” He smiled and held up his palms. “Ja!”
Sasuke’s eyes twitched. /Watering… lilies?? Is Kakashi crazy?/ She stared at the back of her silver-haired teacher, disbelief written all over her face.
Recovering, she turned to go to their classroom.
-ooOoo-
Sasuke entered the classroom to see Sakura terrorizing the whole class.
“So, Yumiko-chan, If you’re really the class representative, why are you letting all the work done by Uchiha-san there?” Said a slicing voice.
The rather loud sliding of the closing door makes their heads turn. Oh. The other Class Representative. Sakura smiled haughtily.
“Ah, Mr. Valedictorian” An acidic smile “I’ve just noticed that the other Class Representative is lazing around, and is not doing her work”
“Hey it’s not like that!” replied the flustered girl anxiously.
“Ohhhh? Too bad I’m not here the first two weeks of school to tell you not to slacken, ehh?” pushed her dark, ominous face towards the female Class Representative. Having bandages around her head did not help lessening the scary looks down a bit. She looked like the Oni(demon) herself. Yumiko involuntarily shook.
Sakura straightened and continued. “And why are you allowing that, huh?” she twirled dramatically as she faced the whole classroom. Her pink hair free of bandage flows as she move. “We are 1A. Teachers and other students are expecting us to be excellent and we should meet their expectations!” Sakura slammed her cast-less hands on the desk and it trembled. All flinched at the force of it.
Sasuke sighed and proceeded to her seat, noticing the empty chair beside her. “Uchiha-san! Are you listening to me?” Sasuke sighed again as she take her seat.
“If you wanted to be a Class Representative so bad then go and talk to Sensei. I do not have anything against the idea” she said, looking straight ahead, her patented position up again. “And besides, school elections is going to be in the first week of May which is just a few days more. You can volunteer for the female Class President position.” She added.
Sakura blinked then her eyes ignited. “Hoooo, Shannaro!” she punched in the air. Everybody sweat dropped. So that’s what she wanted all along. Still standing, she moved forward to hit Sasuke on the back. “Ok, Let’s wait for it then”
“Don’t touch me” Sasuke grumbled.
Smiling again, Sakura had found another thing to harass them for. “Ne, Class Representatives” she said to the Class Representatives with an overly sweet voice. “Have you ever planned something about our School Anniversary?”
Sasuke answered for the both of them. “We have a little discussion about it the first week, but we still have to finalize it over with Kakashi.” Speaking of Kakashi… she was reminded of something. Sasuke stood up and marched in the front of the classroom.
“Kakashi-sensei said that he would possibly be late or won’t be appearing at all. So he ordered me to check your attendance while he is away. We will discuss some other matters if we still have time.” Ignoring Sakura, she took a paper and pen and started calling out names from a perfect memory.
oOo
Sasuke is leaning on the frame of the blackboard on the side near the door holding a notebook and a pen, calling out names for attendance. Then the door suddenly slid open.
"Ohayou (Good morning)"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "You're late"
Naruto looked around "So what? I think the teacher is not here yet, so what is your problem, stuck-up bitch?" He sneered. Everybody winced. Nobody stood up to the two scariest people in class.
"Probably I'll just kick your ass outside the room and mark you absent the next time you arrive late, moron"
Well, except from themselves, that is.
To everybody’s surprise (and to Sasuke also) Naruto grabbed her left arm and pin it above her head. He crushed his body against Sasuke in the blackboard hard. And for the second time, everyone winced when they heard the thud of their Class Representative’s back hitting the board
Naruto is so close to him now. So close. Naruto pushes himself closer and lean down to Sasuke’s ear, the cool metal rings in his lips touching her skin underneath the ear. She suppressed a shudder but forgot to suppress her blush
Naruto's lips ghosted on his ear "Yes… SIR" He whispered. Sasuke felt the soft lips and the hot breath against her ears. She shivered this time. Naruto looked over her first before going to his seat at the third row.
Sasuke is a bit dazed as she straightens herself. /What had happened just now? He never gets that close to me especially these days. / Her gaze followed Naruto to see a mysterious, mischievous fox-grin. His ears still tingling from the light caresses of lips from a while ago.
Forehead on the view, Sakura looked over the two boys, observing the odd exchange and the interesting interaction between them. Her eyes narrowed on Naruto who is currently taking his seat in front of her. The blond boy noticed her stares and gulped visibly. She smiled a little before transferring her eyes to the star student.
/Uchiha/ She thought irritatingly. He is always on her way. She glared malevolently at the long, black haired boy. Sasuke felt something ominous. Then her gaze suddenly found Sakura, looking all red staring at her like some old scary movie.
/What have I done this time? / Sasuke averted her stare and continued on checking the attendance but side glanced at the pink-haired girl after a little while.
Sakura pondered the blackboard scene more. /Curious…/ But before getting to a conclusion, she needed to observe more. Putting everything aside, all attention went to Naruto.
“Naruto-kun” she smiled. “I have seen you play at Roponggi yesterday, you’re so awesome!”
“Nnn, ah, yeah.” Naruto merely mumbled his reply while putting his earphones on.
“Haruno Sakura!” Came a rather irritated voice from the front.
“Hai” Sakura replied in a bored tone along with a raised eyebrow. Then she leaned towards Naruto again.
Sasuke’s lips thinned as she calls the rest of the students for attendance.
-
Kakashi really failed to show up the on entire Homeroom Meeting. And through Sakura’s provocative remarks, Sasuke and Yumiko found themselves in the front, discussing some plans along with the whole class. And all the while, Naruto is unnervingly silent. It’s disturbing Sasuke more than the loud chatter and the sarcastic teasing of Sakura.
ooOOoo
Silver hair covered whatever expression the eye is telling when the owner said his goodbyes. Kakashi is putting the phone down when a lean, bespectacled person halted in front of his table.
“Yo” Kakashi merely greeted the Head Teacher with his happy cloth-covered face.
“I’ve heard that you did not attend your classes this morning?” Inquired their overseer as he inclined his head in emphasis to the question.
“Ah that…hmm… must have forgotten…oh, look at the time, I must be going now for my next class, ja!” Kakashi immediately slid away from his seat and hurriedly approach the door.
“Kakashi!” He called out but the teacher has already left the faculty room leaving him with only the light fading footsteps the light-headed teacher is producing. “Chi.” He said in annoyance.
ooOOoo
Lunch break arrived again with a ring. Everybody stood up to bade their teacher goodbye then turned to their own business. A long-haired blonde girl waved to Sakura on the door. Sakura waved back and gave a loud greeting on the girl outside. They both go but not before the blonde girl peeked back on the door and winked at Sasuke. Sasuke fought the urge to gag.
Naruto is silent the entire half of the day. He is well aware of the weird looks his classmates were giving him. They are not used on seeing the loud, arrogant scary boy being silent and broody. It is not befitting of him.
/It’s not their business. / He thought sullenly as some of his classmates who are passing on his side looks over him in curiosity.
He had been thinking. Yes, how odd it might be, he is using the most unused part of his body. He’s analyzing. While walking down the street, he pondered on everything and sorted out a bit. He hasn’t come up with a final conclusion yet but he’s going there. Maybe he’ll come around it a day or two.
/Man, I’ve been in this thinking shits ever since bastard nerdy boy arrived in my life./
He looked sideways on the subject of his thoughts and got momentarily caught in the current activity the said boy is doing.
Sasuke is combing her hair while thinking. She got over to the idea of being reminded of her brother every time she brushes her long hair. Now she understands what it feels to have a long hair. And she rather like her hair way. Letting her hair grow is one of the few ‘girly’ things that she allowed for herself.
Naruto watches in rapt attention, following the pale hands’s movements as it glides the comb through the silky hair. He felt the urge to run his fingers through the long, smooth mane. Sasuke turned to face him, noticing his stare. Naruto could only stare at the vision presented to him.
“Gods, Sasuke, you’re so beautiful” He mumbled as his eyes take in the pale lean face framed by the glossy, freely flowing, long ebony locks. Sasuke gasped, feeling awkward at the appreciation coming from the person she wants to hear it most. She looked away from him, a telltale blush dusting her cheeks lightly. She took her ponytail from her desk to tie her hair back and gathered her things to leave.
Naruto crossed his brows with a though. /What did I do? Did I say it out loud?/ He contemplated on following the boy. After some time, he decided for it and stood up to go to Sasuke. Outside the classroom, he looked on both sides of the corridor. “Kuso, I lost him. Where did he go?” He scratched his head, brows creased and eyes closed to slits.
“Oh well, I just had to look for him then” Then walked towards the side he thinks where the brunet went.
oOo
/I just hate it when it comes to this/
Sasuke peered on the locker room and have seen two boys talking boisterously at the far end of the room. She inwardly cursed. There is no way that she can change like this. She sit down in one of the benches that is in front of her locker and pretended to busy herself while discreetly waiting for them to go away. When she saw from the corner of her eyes that they went towards the shower room, she immediately fly inside the almost empty locker to change as fast as she could. It’s nice to be careful. She remained undiscovered for years because of it.
She released the breath that she’s holding when she goes out of the locker with her gi properly secured. And the bondage in her chest tightly fitted. The boys didn’t noticed anything so she silently slithered out of the locker to their training room. She looked around and spotted an officer. She approached the girl and nodded her greeting before speaking.
“Where is the Captain?” Sasuke asked.
“Ah, gomen(sorry) Uchiha-san, but he is not back yet. He is here a while ago, saying that he’s going to drop by the Student Council Office for a short while. You could do some warm ups and have a spar with one of them while waiting.” The Vice-Captain said to Sasuke, regarding the other club members with his eyes.
“Hai. Domo(Thanks).” Sasuke give a short bow before going to an empty spot to do some warm ups.
---
Naruto wandered around and ended up the Karate Club’s door. He didn’t know exactly how but he had felt that Sasuke was there. Some weird feeling that when he concentrates, he could feel Sasuke’s distinct self against other people. He brushed it away when he failed to found any possible explanation for it.
/Almost there. I know he is inside that door/
He is close to his destination. He has not reached a conclusion or a decision yet but he feels that he wants to talk to the other boy. He raised his hands to slide the door open and the door is halfway on opening entirely but a firm hand on his shoulders stopped him from doing so.
“Chotto matte, kudasai. (Wait a minute, please)” Came a respectful, but decisive voice.
Annoyed, Naruto whirled around to come face to face to a bowl-cut, round-eyed boy, probably a year older than him.
“What?” Came a belligerent reply. “So you want to tell me that I should not sneak into somebody else’s club room?”
Students around the area looked from where the loud, angry voice came from. Some girls, and a few boys steps back and exited the corridor upon seeing the scary, spiky, yellow-haired guy with painted eyes glaring fearlessly at the Vice-President of the Student Council.
“No sir, but I want you to go with me on the Student Council’s room right now to discuss about your hair color. Because according to the rules and regulation, it is prohibited to dye your hair. Follow me onegaishimasu (please)” The tone, how reverent the words are is still implied as a command more than a request.
And Naruto hated being told off.
“You’ve got nothing to do with the hair color I prefer.” Naruto grounded out. “And besides, this is natural.”
Lee studied the whole appearance of the freshman in front of him. He knows the entire student in this building so he is sure that this boy is just a first year student. He nodded to himself. He put in consideration that the boy had just missed the particular information, or just absent that time.
“What is your name?”
“Uzumaki. Uzumaki Naruto.”
“Hai. Uzumaki-san. I’m sorry, I think you have not been properly informed but we do not favor dyed hair here. You are now a student of this school so we expected you to follow the rules.”
Naruto shook his head. “I said this…” he points to his unruly yellow hair “is natural!”
Lee is about to tell him something when the door slides fully opened to reveal a long, black-haired guy in a white training outfit. He immediately recognized the guy as his younger equal from the junior high.
“Ah, my esteemed kohai(Junior*), Uchiha-san. Truly the springtime of youth is still at its finest. Anyway, is he from your class? I want to deal with his hair and…”
Naruto suddenly exploded. “Why don’t you listen to me, thick-brows?! I told you its natural! And I’m going to prove it to you right now!” Naruto bellowed, losing patience.
Thick-brows?
Everybody present paused on their activity and stared.
Everybody, including Lee looked in curiosity.
“I’ll give you proof that my hair color is natural” Said Naruto in a rough voice and dragged Sasuke with him. Said boy immediately protested. “I did not volunteer for this, Uzumaki. Let go of my hand. Now.”
Naruto ignored him and continue to drag him on the guy’s restroom, giving him no room to fight or think of a comeback. “Thick-brows is going to believe me if you’re going to be there to back up” He said as he pushed Sasuke against the tiles. “And besides” He gives out a devious grin “You’re a Student Council.” He started unbuckling his belt.
Sasuke stared at the belt and silently panicked. The events are too fast for her to react. She tried to look for any unwanted witnesses but the large firm hands that immediately pushed him down the floor had prevented her from doing so. It was like being bound into a Genjutsu. Naruto is now unbuttoning his pants.
/Kuso…/ Sasuke swore as Naruto grabs the kneeling boy’s head and pulled his pants down to his knees, along with the boxers.
