A/N: Continuing this series of high school stories set in one of my favorite AU's and also rare pairings..
Warnings: There is the occasional swear word. Also things may be a bit more of an American culture perspective over Japanese. Therefore I don't use any honorifics. Sorry it's just easier for me to write otherwise. Also this story is unbeta'd so future apologies for any grammatical mistakes.

"I swear to you both if Kaito makes one more perverted comment or leering glance, then someone's going to have to restrain me to keep from punching his face in just Ugh! Not to mention I'm pretty sure he's stealing from the budget. He has no business being treasurer no matter who his dad is. Why is he even on the student council in the first place?!" Sakura ranted angrily as the three were leaving the meeting room.

Sakura was student council president, Shikamaru was reluctantly nominated and won vice president, and Hinata was the secretary. Both Shikamaru and Hinata wisely didn't answer knowing the question to be rhetorical. Shikamaru also didn't say the reflexive 'that's kinky' retort in response to Sakura's restrain me comment knowing it would get him sent straight into the lockers.

"Not to mention all the comments and glances he does to Hinata alone. Seriously I just want him gone don't care how, that I'd give anything for that to be council member decision."

Hinata nodded miserably fighting off the urge to shudder. He did tend to fixate on her and stared at her chest a lot making uncomfortable remarks like asking how her cans were doing today. It always gave her the urge to put another sweater on in his presence. Sometimes she was half tempted to tell Neji, until she remembered what would happen if she did. Even telling Naruto or Kiba would no doubt end in bloodshed.

"No offense Shikamaru, but why are some men such pigs for a lack of a better word since I feel like that's an insult to pigs?"

"None taken I hear that question daily from Temari." He gave a light shrug his hands sticking his hands in his pockets. "Some people are just jerks. He probably thinks you guys are playing hard to get."

"Ha! Not even if he was the last person on earth, and even then it's a resounding no."

Scratching his nose and idly wondering if his mom had saved him any dinner Shikamaru suggested. "Could always ask Naruto to prank him. I thought the one where he stole Kaito's clothes spray painting them the colors of the flag, stringing them up, and leaving him in nothing but a pink chiffon dress was particularly inspiring."

Sakura had to conceded that was pretty hilarious especially seeing Kaito's meltdown and watching him stalk around demanding his friends trade clothes with him. "It's not a bad idea. I may try talking to Iruka again and see if he would approve Anko teaching a sexual harassment and remedial behavioral course or something. He's not the only guy here that could benefit from it."

Shikamaru fighting a shudder didn't want to imagine what a particular class like that would be like especially with Anko as the teacher. He still couldn't believe some days that she was their vice principal. How she got the position was beyond him, since her sanity was sketchy at best. Unless she slept with Iruka to get the job.

That was unlikely though as Iruka had a good amount of integrity and wouldn't give away a position like that. Plus it was mainly up to the school board to decide. Shikamaru would never forget her weapons collection, that she showed his class on their first day of Freshman year. She also terrified Naruto with an up-close reveal of her twin daggers really close to his face.

Hinata spoke up in an effort to change the unpleasant subject. "I thought you had some great ideas regarding the upcoming fundraisers Sakura." Hinata said giving Sakura a small smile which was returned.

"Thanks Hinata car washes and bake sales are great, but I feel like they have been done to death. I'm hoping with this battle of the bands and the t-shirt campaign. It might inspire more contributions fingers crossed over here." As she crossed them on both hands and then her arms as well.

Shikamaru chuffed out a quiet laugh. "Ino and Kiba will be disappointed about the nixed car wash idea. I'm sure they'll call it a missed opportunity in having a chance to display their "hotness" not to mention seeing other in wet t-shirts and bathing suits too."

Sakura rolled her eyes before responding dryly. "And my heart bleeds for them it really does."

She heard Hinata giggle quietly to her right. The three approached the doors leading to the outside before walking through them. Their cars weren't all that far apart from each other.

Sakura wrapped an arm around each of her friends. "Well another day done and closer to the end of the year. Although I have to say I'm disappointed Mr Yamashiro isn't here to see us out, but I think I can protect us if there's any trouble before we reach our cars."

"Yeah no," Shikamaru started as he gently slid out from underneath Sakura's arm. "A real man doesn't hide behind women or need to rely on them for his own protection."

"You ever going to get off of that soapbox Shikamaru? Does it help pretending that I couldn't kick your ass at arm wrestling or bench pressing?"

Shikamaru titled his head to the side as he challenged her. "I acknowledge you're physically stronger. It still doesn't mean, that I'm going to hide behind you if it came to a fight. Besides need I remind you who kicked who's ass last week at chess?"

Sakura gave a charitably nasty smile. "Give me time and one day I'll beat you. I only lost to you by two points with our last ACT results."

Shikamaru shook his head, while Sakura released Hinata to allow her to go back to her car giving her one last smile. Before they all got in Sakura shouted one last thing. "Oh and next time someone bring some food! These meetings wouldn't be so horrible, if we were actually fed."

Throwing her a lazy salute Shikamaru answered. "Agreed I think as president you should lead by example and bring something first um preferably something store bought." Because it was an absolute fact Sakura was the worst cook he'd ever come across, it almost took talent to be that bad at something. Once she made granola energy balls and gave them all food poisoning. It was difficult to make out, but he was fairly sure Sakura was cursing him under her breath.

"Fine I'll spring for some pizza next time Hinata can pick the toppings, but only after Kaito leaves early that sleazebag doesn't deserve any. See you tomorrow!"

"Hhhave a good night Sakura!"

"Yeah see ya then." The three cars then sped away to leave a mostly empty parking lot.
