the Ravens secret

well, this isn't good

Sasuko sat frozen, her team mates already announced. Her mouth hanging open. Shouldn't the hokage have made sure that she at least wasn't placed with Naruto? The one person she was told to avoid?

As nobody paid attention to her she rubbed at her chest again. There was a short break before they were supposed to meet the squad leader. She decided to take a quick meal in the privacy of an adjacent room.

Her mind was to far away as she was suddenly assaulted by Naruto and a clone. It was fast and slightly confusing to her distracted brain. She was overpowered and tied up then gagged. She looked up at Naruto and growled. Kicking her feet childishly and shouting profanities behind the gag.

He transformed himself into sasuke then grinned down at his tied up team mate before leaving through the window.

Sasuko stared to the window in shock for a long moment before she started to wiggle her hands free enough to use her escape jutsu.

"I need to kick his ass.. " She grumbled before standing and dusting herself off.

She thought for a moment before calming herself and leasurly walking out of the room she was in. She knew where he was headed. He had a stupid crush on the bubblegum bimbo.

Sasuko shoved her hands into her pockets and made short work of locating the pink banshee.

Judging by sakuras rambling sasuko had been corrected. It took everything in sasuko not to gag Sakura. She tried to drown out her babblings.

"It's not like he has any parents." Sakuras smug words came out like poison. Sasuko turned back to Sakura with pure malice in her eyes and the pinkette froze like ice.

"I hope you're not actually stupid enough to forget that he isn't the only person in our team without parents. Id hate to be caught out on a mission with someone who is so self centered she can't even remember anything about someone she claims to be in love with beyond 'oh he's soooo hot' ." Sasuko did a wonderful and embarrassing impression of the pinkette before scoffing at her indignantly and shaking her head. Turning to leave she shouted back over her shoulder. "Your annoying"

Naruto had been nearby having ducked into some bushes to watch the exchange. He hadn't really known what he wanted to do pretending to be Sasuko... Or Sasuke. He grabs his head and screams internally at the absolute confusion in his brain. 'I'm so convinced that I have ADHD it's not even debatable at this point!' he thought before taking off back home.

Naruto planned to shower before meeting their teacher. He had a feeling he had the time.

Back in the classroom a short time later, the newly formed team seven waited.

Naruto was placing one of the chalkboard erasers in the top of the door. Ready to prank their teacher for being late. Sasuko was secretly preening at the idea of humiliating the teacher who had made them wait, and Sakura sat at the desk closest to the door. Her shoulders slumped and a far away look on her face.

The second sasuko went to look in her direction the door started to slide open. The eraser fell perfectly and smacked the silver headed ninja on top of the head, causing a small white dust cloud to form in front of the jonins face.

Sasuko pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance. The sight of an elite jonin falling for such a thing didn't install much confidence in the Raven.

"My first impression of you all... Your idiots." The jonin said casually after he looked the group over. His eyes momentarily stopping on Naruto in such a subtle way that Sasuko was the only one to notice. "Meet me on the roof.."

He sighed out his last words lazily before disappearing in a much larger cloud of white then the chalkboard erasers produced.

Standing to her feet sasuko headed towards the door, but a strange feeling of guilt made her stop. She abruptly turned to Sakura before her team could leave the class room. Letting out a long sigh she rubbed the back of her head.

"Look.. I have some things to tell you guys before we speak with sensei.. first off.. Sakura, I'd like to apologise. What you said simply struck a cord. I'm not making excuses for my outburst but I would definitely prefer to tell you now that we are on the same team, I'm not actually into girls. The fangirls annoy me horrendously. Then the comment made me snap. I wasn't trying to be harsh and I apologise." Sasuko bowed low to her new female team mate. Her eyes cast to the floor.

To sakuras credit it only took the bubble gum banshee a moment to process what she was just told. She stared at the Raven before patting her on the back with a smile.

"It's alright, to be honest.. I was starting to suspect you might be gay. You've never seemed interested in girls." She smiled as Sasuko (or Sasuke as she seen it) stood up straight again.

"Well, not exactly.. that's where it gets complicated.." Sasuko let off a nervous chuckle and scratched her cheek absently as she thought over how to word her next sentence. "What I'm about to say, can never leave our team. You have to swear on your lives. I'm even going against the hokage just thinking about telling you both."

Her eyes were dead serious as she looked at the two before her. They both nodded firmly and swore to her effortlessly. Sakura crossing her heart and Naruto holding up his hand, palm out as if he was in a court room.
