Chapter 1

"Hurry up (Y/N)-chan!! " you laughed, jumping down from the wall. You turned at Naruto's voice. He was behind the building keeping a lookout. This was your usual routine. You tossed the spray tin, running over to Naruto as you snickered giving him a high five. He looked at the wall with a devious grin. "Hah! You got a spot of drawing of Iruka-sensei. " he looked at the stick figure with a huge head and warped facial expression. The picture was horrible. That made it even funnier.

"What do we have here." a chill ran up your and Naruto's spine at the voice.

"Shit! Every man for himself!" Naruto yelled. He took off and you were about to when a hand grabbed you by the collar. "Not so fast." you frowned, shouting curses after Naruto. 

"Traitor!!

~~~

"(L/N)-san. Ever the artist I see. " your head lowered. After you'd been busted by one of your sensei's you were sent to the principal's office. "Don't you get tired of coming here." You growled looking over at the dark haired sensei. "Itachi-sensei.." you thought, annoyed. He was the reason you were here in the first place. "Always poking his nose where it doesn't belong." you raised your fist at him. "Next time I'll draw your face!" you said with a smirk. Making that comment would have been a smart move if not for the angry female standing before you. She socked you right on the head, hard. You cried out in pain, holding your head as you bent to your knees. 

"If I see any more of your art around the school grounds you'll answer to me!!" She threatened.

"Y-Yes Tsunade-sama." you muttered, still rubbing your head. She released a sigh. "Clean up your mess." There was a bucket and rag at your feet. You picked it up, walking away. Itachi followed behind. "Make sure she doesn't cause any more damage. " He nodded.

"Yes, ma'am." You walked in silence, neither saying much to the other. Your eyes stayed firmly planted on the bucket. "Why the hell does he always catch me." You and Naruto were always getting into some kind of trouble. You didn't always go looking for trouble though. This time you did. It was just so boring. When you were in class you couldn't focus. Your grades were greatly lacking and no matter how hard you tried they never seemed to get better. You tried almost everything. After a while you just accepted that you were unteachable. Picking fights, getting in trouble, it felt like the only thing you could do.

You didn't exactly have anyone waiting for you at home either. So it wasn't like staying late at school was really a punishment. Maybe that's why you got along with Naruto so well. He knew what it was like to be alone.

"Did you forget how to clean." Itachi's words knocked you out of your short daze. You seethed, grabbing the cloth out of the bucket angrily as you started cleaning off the spray paint.

"You're lucky it isn't permanent. " he added. You didn't look his way, not acknowledging his words. You didn't want to give him the satisfaction. "Why do you insist on causing such a ruckus. If you placed so much energy into your studies you'd be a brilliant student." you scoffed, dropping the cloth on the ground. "You're even stupider than I thought if you really believe that." He didn't look the least bit affected by what you said. That's what pissed you off the most. No matter what you did, you could always get the other teachers to lose their cool, but with him, Itachi Uchiha, it was almost impossible. He had this know it all look on his face most of the time. It irked you to no end. "Is that a challenge?" he asked. You blinked, completely confused. 

"What the hell are you.."

"You said I must be foolish to see any potential in you, so if I could prove otherwise, the statement would make you the fool." you clenched your fist glaring at him. "Are you making fun of me!!" you demanded. You didn't care if he was a teacher. You would pummel his right there.

"Your talents are being wasted. Since you're so hellbent on causing havoc, I'll like to make you a deal. If I can get you to ace your upcoming exams, then you'll stay away from trouble. If not, you can run a mock as much as you want until you graduate in the next two years. " you looked at him as if he'd gone completely mad. "W-Why the hell would I agree to that!!" He smirked.

"I see, so you're afraid I'm right. Of all the things I've heard about you, I didn't think a coward would be one of them." Your eyes blazed. 

"T-This guy!"

"FINE!!" you exploded. "If I win this bet you have to leave me be." Itachi nodded.

"That seems fair. " you folded your arms in victory. "Keh, jokes on you cause I'm a complete idiot." you boasted. A bead of sweat ran down the side of his head. 

"That isn't something to be proud of." you just grinned at him and Itachi couldn't help but smile.

"I can already tell you'll be a handful."
