Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

In the last chapter:

Both brunette's eyes widened when they made eye contact.

"You again?!"

-

"Oh?" Naruto hummed, "You already know Neji?"
"Yeah, I do." Tenten replies as she looked around the table. There was a fair skinned, indigo haired girl sitting beside Ino and Sakura. Her hair was long and was past her shoulders. She had the same lavender eyes as Neji and Tenten couldn't help but feel like she had seen her before somewhere in her past or childhood.
"Guys," Naruto says, gaining the group's attention, "This is Tenten. She's new here."
A chorus of hello's, sup's, and nice to meet you's was heard around the group as they greeted Tenten with welcoming smiles.
Tenten then sat down beside a sleeping boy with spiky hair and Sakura. Everyone had introduced themselves to Tenten and the brunette found herself laughing along with everyone.

  "So Tenten," Sakura says, "What's your next class?"
"Well...if I remember correctly after lunch I have...Science with Orochimaru-sensei." Tenten replied. Everyone around the table looked shocked and some had pity in their eyes. "Oh you poor, poor, girl!" Ino says. As mentioned before, some had pity in their eyes; but not for Naruto and Kiba. In fact, they were laughing their asses off. "You....have...Orochi-pedo-sensei!" Naruto gasped out and smacks the table. "Oh god...I'm dying of laughter! You really are...unlucky!" Kiba shouts as the corner of his eyes had some tears. Some even rolled down his cheek and the other students stared the two laughing boys with worry.
"P-pedo-sensei? Why is he called that?" Tenten asked worriedly. "Because he's a pedophile, obviously." The boy next to Tenten, who finally woke up, yawned out. "You guys are so troublesome. Can you at least lower your voices? I would really appreciate it."
"Shikamaru. Good to see you awake. We all thought you were dead!" Ino says with a sunny smile. "Well those two," Shikamaru says as he looked at Natuto's and Kiba's direction, "Will be the death of me one day."
"Don't say that!" The blonde scolded. Shikamaru sighed while he muttered out very quietly, "How troublesome it is to be in this group."

"If you don't mind me asking," Tenten interjected, "Why is Orochimaru-sensei a pedophile?"
"Well," Sakura says, "It's really only a rumour, but as we all know he's a famous retired scientist. He discovered many things but most of them were about the human body. And it was also revealed, but we don't know if it's just false information, that his parents died, making him go insane."
"And he's conducted many experiments on people; mostly on kids. He almost got arrested by doing so. He never really was trusted by the government, even up to now." Ino added.
"To see him as a teacher in this school was very suspicious. Especially how he eyes his students in class." Sasuke says. His voice scared everyone but he didn't care and continued his story. "For the past few months students have been declared missing. And after 1 week we would see them out at the parking lot dead and rotting on the ground."
"You should've seen the stomach! It was cut open! We even got to see their organs!" Kiba says excitedly. "That's evidence that someone has been conducting experiments on them." Shikamaru lazily added.

Tenten furrowed her eyebrows and continued to listen to the stories of their science teacher. "But why is he called a pedophile?" The brunette asked again. "Well, during class he would look at Sasuke weirdly. It's like he takes a liking on younger kids! Hence why we call him Orochi-pedo-sensei!" Naruto explains with a goofy smile.
  "Weirdly?" Tenten asked. The stories of Orochimaru were now starting to scare her. She felt a chill run up her spine and her arms now had goosebumps. "You don't even have science, idiot." Sasuke coldly replied. The cold tone of his voice made a chill run up Tenten's spine again.

"S-so, are there more students missing..?" The brunette asked. "Not that we know of right now but three students were declared missing last week. Karin Uzumaki, Naruto's cousin, along with Suigetsu Hōzuki and Jūgo. The last time anyone have ever seen them was when they entered the science lab after school."
"Well," Ino interjected, "They were seen yesterday."
"Yeah, and they were alive. They're the first ever people to have lived after missing for 1 week." Kiba says in a spooky voice. His eyes were big and round; filled with intensity.
Tenten felt her eyes grow big too. And soon everyone crowded around her; like someone was listening to their conversation.
"He's mad, Tenten. Absolutely insane. I don't even know why the mayor didn't put him in jail yet!" Ino whispered.
Just then everything was quiet in the cafeteria. Not a single student spoke as the sound of heels clicking on the marble floors echoed in the room.
  Soon a crimson eyed, fair skinned, red headed girl made her way through the crowd. She was tall and her red heels made her 3 inches taller.
Her vibrant hair was short and spiky on the right side, while longer and straight on the left. She wore brown narrow glasses and behind her were two boys.
    To her right was a boy with straight white hair, almond shaped purple eyes, and razor sharp teeth that showed every time he smiled or smirked, which he did a lot as soon as he saw the other student's facial expressions. And now to the red head's left was another male with wild orange hair and red-orange eyes. He was even taller than the girl with heels but despite his abnormal height, his eyes and posture showed that he was a calm and quiet person.
The red head walked through the crowd and approached Konoha 11, stopping in front of Naruto who looked back with a serious expression (which he rarely shows).
"Karin." Naruto acknowledges. "Naruto. I see your still with your little group." Karin says with a hint of disgust. "What are you doing here?" Naruto asks. His eyes were filled with rage and his posture changed into a defensive one; like Karin was going to attack at any moment. "I just wanted to say hello to my favourite cousin and of course my Sasuke-kun." She replies with a wink. Sakura clenched her fist and Sasuke immediately placed a hand on the pinkette's shoulder.
  Tenten watched as the two Uzumaki cousins talked with hints of sarcasm and fake politeness in their voices.
Soon Karin, along with Jūgo and Suigetsu left. The cafeteria was now buzzing with chatter and everyone was now staring at Naruto and the rest of the members of Konoha 11.

  "What's wrong with Naruto?" Tenten asked as Naruto excused himself from the group. Hinata, who was the indigo haired girl and also Neji's cousin, followed after him.
"After we found out the three of them were alive, Naruto was so overjoyed. That idiot hates it when his family or friends are in danger." Sasuke replied; his face still as stoic and serious as ever. "He's willing to sacrifice himself. And it's scary how willing he is to do so." Sakura added quietly.
  "Ever since Karin came back or was found, we all noticed how different her actions, choice of words, and personality was." Ino says. "But she's still an annoying fangirl of Sasuke!" Kiba adds with a smile while the raven haired male just clicked his tongue.
Konoha 11 (now 9 since both Naruto and Hinata were gone) along with Tenten stayed together at the round table until the bell rang, signalling that lunch was now over.
"We have science with you, so just follow us." Sakura says and she along with Sasuke stood up from their seat. The brunettes ankle still hurt but she forced herself to walk. "By the way, you should change before class starts. " Sakura says as they head out of the cafeteria. It was now just the three of them; the rest of the group now in their own separate ways. "You're right..." Tenten replies and stared at her gym clothes. She entered the washroom along with Sakura. Sasuke had promised to wait (Well, Sakura made him wait) for the two girls.

-

After changing, the trio head over to the science lab. Sasuke grabbed the handle and Tenten felt her breath hitch. Sakura stood behind her, her face unreadable.
They then entered the cold lab room and was greeted by their teacher. "Glad to see you Sakura, Sasuke." He greeted, "And who are you..?"
"I-i'm Tenten." The brunette stuttered as Orochimaru observed her in amusement; like a snake looking at it's prey. "It's very nice to meet you, Tenten. I do hope we get along." Orochimaru says with a sick smile.

And with that the final bell rang, signalling the beginning of science class.
