The Abyss

SakuGaa, ShikaTem, minor NejiTen

summary: Just another highschool story. Sakura meets a new student, Temari, at the mall and they become quick friends. After meeting Temari's brother, Gaara, they quickly become attatched. But, once their past follows them to Konoha, Sakura and her best friend Shikamaru are in danger, which involves their own past. Will they be able to conquer the abyss set before them by their pasts, or will these teens be stuck forever?

New story. Corny summary, I know. Oh, by the way, their basically punk/goth. And I know how many high school stories are out there, but hey, another one won't kill anyone... right? (To those who are eagerly awaiting an update from my other story, Revenge, I apologize. I really do. Fillers are the hardest for me to write and it might be awhile untill the actual plot comes back. Sorry, again. ')

(this story is rated T because of strong language and violence.)

disclaimer(I've never done one of these before!): I don't own Naruto, Seventeen Magazine, Lay's Chips or any of the songs/bands mentioned here. Though I dooo own Naruto posters, Seventeen issues, a couple bags of chips, and the songs off the CDs I buy...

chapter.1

Skipping

"Please, Shika. Don't tell me your actually going today." Sakura rolled her eyes, looking over to her bestfriend. Her natural bubblegum pink hair had black and purple streaks and her sharp emerald eyes were thickly outlined with black eyeliner. She was still in her sleepwear, a black lace tanktop and blood red silk shorts.

"Shut it, Saki. Skipping with you again is troublesome." He sighed, pulling his black hair into its usual tight high-ponytail. He left the living room of their apartment to his room to put on some clothes.

"Whatever. While your at school, I'll be at the mall. Tsunade gave me a raise, so I'll be able to buy the things I can't steal." Sakura shrugged, continuing to flip through the magazine, Seventeen, she swipped, mistaking it for another one. "Hey, hey, Shiiiiiiika! Come over here so I can show you the right clothes for your body type!" She laughed. As she looked through it, she occasionally rolled her eyes at the trends, hairstyles, and the makeup shown.

After about ten minutes, Shikamaru walked back into the living room, wearing a dark green tanktop with mesh underneath and black baggy pants with various chains and zippers on it. He went to the toaster and put in two pop-tarts, then snuck up behind Sakura to look over her shoulder. She felt his breath on her neck and jumped slightly, hitting him on the head with the magazine.

"You told me to see what clothes work on my figure!" He chuckled. Sakura giggled.

"Sorry, fag, you're too late." She joked and was about to run from him when his pop-tarts were done. "Come after me and I'll eat your pop-tarts. Get your pop-tarts and I'll leave you alone." She warned as he looked from the pop-tarts, her, then back to the food. He sighed, getting his s'mores pop-tarts.

"Your so troublesome." He muttered.

"Oh, by the way, school begins in," She checked the clock again, "ten minutes. And take your motorcycle. I'm taking the car." She stuck out her tounge.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." He grabbed his backpack and the keys. He was then out the door. Sakura decided it was time to get dressed. Just as she re-entered the living room wearing a black corset, black arm warmers, black suspender pants with the straps down, two red and purple studded belts, a black belt with rainbow-colored studs, and a black skull choker, her cell phone rang from the couch. It loudly played the song "Bloodrocuted" by Metalocalypse: Dethlok and she instinctively knew the caller.

"Neji. What do you want?" She grinned. "Love the greeting, Saki. But screw my response. There are new students today." "Oh great. Just more preps to annoy the hell out of me." She rolled her eyes. "Actually, they're like us." She sat up on the couch as he said those words. "Seriously? Who are they?" "Theres two guys and a chick, but she's not in school. She's Temari, their older sister. The other two are Kankuro and Gaara." "Damn! I'm still surprised that they're not the usual new students." "Yeah, whatever. Oh, and Tenten wants to know if you want to meet back at my mansion after school...? Tenten! What the hell!" He swore to his girlfriend, who was obviously next to him. "Hahaha! Well, tell her I'd be glad! And that I'll also get her that dress she wanted at Hot Topic." She could hear Tenten's squeals as she swiped Neji's cell from him. "Ya mean it? Thanks alot Saki!" She then hung up.

Sakura shook her head, chuckling, and grabbed her necesities. 'Cell, car keys, wallet... Oh, hellooo, Shika's wallet! He'll be mad I stole half of his money. So what? Anyway. I think thats it.' She shoved her skull wallet into her pocket and hooked up the chain. As she went to the door, she also took Shikamaru's As I Lay Dying black hoodie, locked it up, and walked to her black corvet. When she was inside it, she popped in one of her favorite CDs and as she drove to the mall, let Slipknot fill her head.

Tenten's cold brown eyes swept over the sea of students as they cheered for the football team. She squinted in disgust. 'I guess they won the play-offs after all.' In her boredum, she looked down at her current attire. Black strapless mini-dress with tons of holes and rips, black skinny jeans, mesh wrist warmers, and a violet corset. She ran her fingers through her brown hair, streaked with red, green, and purple.

"I told you we should've skipped school. Sakura was smart." She whined, slightly glaring at her boyfriend.

"We skipped yesturday." He sighed. He wore a black and red Bullet For My Valentine hoodie along with faded jeans and chains.

Tenten rolled her eyes and plugged in her iPod to Neji's speakers and blasted "High School Never Ends" by Bowling For Soup.

"This song is so fucking true." Kiba sighed, leaning against the tree trunk. He wore a brown tanktop, black finger-less gloves, and ripped baggy black jeans with a black spiked belt.

"Luckily we'll be outta this hell hole this year." Itachi agreed, pulling up his hood from his black Slipknot hoodie. He also wore a pair of baggy black suspender pants, straps down.

"Well, if you didn't stay back twice, you'd already be outta here." Tenten mocked as Hinata giggled lightly. Her pearly-white eyes were lined with electric blue and her lavender hair was pulled back in a low ponytail, her bangs covering her pale forehead. She wore a tight black and white checkered tanktop, a dark blue, almost black, skirt that stopped at her knees which showed black leggings with neon-blue skulls.

"This day officially sucks." Shikamaru mumbled, sitting on the grass with them.

"Hm? Why?" Tenten cocked her head to the side.

"A guy felt me up in Walmart this morning." Shikamaru groaned as everyone laughed at him.

"Why were you there anyway?" Kiba asked.

"I forgot my lunch at the apartment, so I got this." He pulled out a bag of Lay's chips from his backpack.

"Well, atleast we know why girls don't hit on you now." Itachi said, popping a chip in his mouth. The rest almost choked on their own chips as they continued to tease Shikamaru.

"ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS! YOU MUST BE IN YOUR HOMEROOMS IN TWO MINUTES!" The principle, Sarutobi, cracked over the intercom.

"So I guess the rest are skipping as well." Neji sighed.

"Like WE should've done!" Tenten huffed, grabbing her back and slinging it over her shoulder.

"Geez, chill, Tenten! Atleast your gonna get your pretty little dress." Kiba snapped playfully as Tenten chased him into the school.

"GET BACK HERE DOG BOY!" The others just shook their heads and followed them into the building.
