Saving the World's Sanity

A/N: :D I know, I know. I shouldn't be writing this. I have many other stories to do. But the plot bunnies! They're evil and they destroy my brain! This is an AU story, taking place in the high school world. Also, beware of swearing. Lots of swearing. Sorry if school starts to late here, I'm basing this off of my own school hours, 9:00 AM to 3:35 PM. ... Even though I'm not even close to being back to school. xD

#1: I'm So Fucking Late!

Sakura Haruno, a pink haired, straight-A student, rolled over and fell out of bed. She fumbled about for her blanket, the sudden loss of warmth disturbing her. She groaned, and opened her emerald eyes slowly. She wondered briefly where she was, before recognizing the hardwood flooring that made up most of the walkable floor in her one bedroom apartment. She laid still for a moment or two, then pulled herself up into a sitting position. She stretched her arms out, satisfied at hearing a sickening pop come from her elbows, and stood. She sleepily gathered her school uniform, and entered her washroom.

Sakura sighed contently as she exited her shower. She dressed quickly, ran a brush through her wet hair, and slipped out of the washroom. She noisily stomped down the only hall in her apartment, going for her kitchen. She closed her eyes and yawned when she took a step into the cluttered kitchen. She walked up to the table, and layered some raspberry jam onto a piece of bread. As she bit into her breakfast, she glanced at the clock hanging on the wall in front of her, and almost choked when she saw the time. Swallowing whatever was in her mouth, she almost shouted. "8:45?! Fuck! School starts in fifteen minutes, I was supposed to be in class already! I can't believe I forgot it was Monday!" She downed her bread, grabbed her school bag, which, she remembered, she had packed yesterday morning, and bolted from the apartment.

Sakura panted as she came to a stop just in front of the school. The sun beat down on her back, extremely hot, even though it was only morning. She looked up at the giant clock engraved into the school's front side, and groaned. '9:10... I'm so fucking late.' She brushed herself off, and entered the school solemnly.

Sakura marched straight up the stairs in the foyer, and right into the office. The secretary took one look at her dishevelled appearance, and pointed to the Sign In sheet. Sakura smoothed out her hair and outfit, before approaching the sheet. She signed her name, Sakura Haruno, but stopped before writing the time and her reason. Her eyes roamed over the rest of the sheet, and she giggled quite loudly. Laughing to herself, she jotted down the time, 9:13, and her reason, before exiting the office with an excuse slip, heading for her first class. She giggled to herself, remembering the other names and reasons on the sheet.

~*Time Skip to 3:35 PM*~

Sakura hummed to herself as she walked out of her final class of the day, Chemistry with Orochimaru. Sure, the snake man scared the fuck out of her, but he also scared the fuck out of everyone else. She grinned, thinking back to her morning. Even though she was late, her first teacher was Kakashi, and the man himself wasn't even there when she entered the room! She frowned though, remembering that she was moved up into the graduating class at Konoha High, along with one of her best friends, Shikamaru. That meant that she could only see her other friends at lunch time, and at the end of the day. Sometimes she hated being a genius student. Thinking back to her classes that day, she realized that at least one of the Akatsuki were in every single one of her classes. "Son of a..." She groaned, as she descended the foyer stairs.

Sakura walked quickly up the stairs to her apartment. She unlocked her door, and stepped in. "I'm home!" She shouted into the apartment, even though she knew she wouldn't get an answer. She closed her front door, slightly saddened. 'Maybe I should get a pet... maybe a cat or a dog...' Sakura thought, as she removed her shoes. She sighed, and dropped her bag on the ground. She looked down at the fallen bag, noticing that her books spilled out, and smiled. "I'll clean that up later..." With the smile still on her face, she went to her kitchen to make herself something to eat.

That night, Sakura laid on her bed, wearing silky black pyjamas. She listened to the sounds of the night, while she stared blankly into the darkness of her room. She sighed, knowing that she probably wouldn't sleep that night. "Stupid insomnia..." She mumbled to herself, as she sat up in her bed. With a huff, she pulled herself out of her bed. Standing tall, she started for the living room.

In the living room, Sakura plopped herself down onto her couch, and glared at the television, which was off. She reached over, and grabbed the remote to said television. Flicking the TV on, she settled in for a long night full of explicit humour and infomercials. A thought came to her mind, but she shook it away and focused on the TV.

'Won't the Akatsuki see my name and reason on the Sign In sheet? Since the office doesn't replace it until Friday... Oh well, I'll think about that later...'

A/N: And end. :P I hope that there hasn't been another story quite like this, one that has multiple chapters, and not just being a one-shot... Maa, who cares. This is not a one-shot! This is a multi-chapter story!

Also, the Akatsuki's last names, except for those who actually had last names to begin with, were completely made up. I used the more popular last names used for most of them, except for Hidan and Zetsu. Hidan's last name was utterly random, while I looked up Zetsu's last name, which ended up being Cannibalism in Japanese. xD
