"Kiba!" I ran into his arms "How was your summer?"

"Summer? It was more like hell without you."

I kissed him "That's so sweet."

"Ugh! Get off of me!" someone exclaimed.

I turned around to see Sakura clinging to Sasuke. It has only been a few months since she last saw him but the way she held him one would think it was forever. He tried to get free from her grip, when his eyes locked onto mine he was pleading for a rescue. Kiba snickered; I nudged him to stop then decided to help Sasuke. Sakura starred as I approached, I took a gentle hold on his chin then kissed him. He kissed back; Sakura had detached herself from the young Uchiha and lunged at me.

"Hey Sakura, is something wrong?" Naruto asked pulling her off me.

She just gave me a final glare before stomping away. I couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. She knows I'm with Kiba and yet an innocent kiss still affected her this much.

"What did you do?" the blond accused.

"I kissed Sasuke," I shrugged.

"Wait! What?" his eyes went wide.

"Before you jump to conclusions let me explain. It was the only way to remove Sakura's grip from Sasuke," Kiba wrapped his arms around me.

"Okay then," he nodded then put on a bright smile "How was your summer Irie?"

"I was working all summer. Honestly I'm glad to be back at school."

"I'm glad my brother and his friends are no longer here," Sasuke mentioned "Especially that Deidara."

"True, it's been two years since they left and I still miss Sasori."

"Come on," Kiba kissed my cheek "Let's go find our classes, for the last time at this school."

I agreed and was a little disappointed when I found out that Kiba only had one class with me. This year I had advanced art, advanced combat training, fashion, photography and all day Saturday I had drama along with a few other boring classes scattered along the day.

"I'll see you later Irie," Kiba gave me a kiss.

I walked into class and went straight to the back to sit with Hinata and Sai. It was good to see them again, we chatted until the teacher walked in.

"Good morning everyone," Kurenai walked in "This year we have a student teacher. Some of you may recognize him from a couple years back."

A blond boy walked in and my heart sank. Deidara was now my teacher, nothing good will come of this. There was no way a different school could change him from the way he was two years ago.

"Good morning," Deidara smiled "I can't wait to work with all of you."

His eyes scanned the room to find familiar faces, landing on me and his smile widened. I shivered remembering that lustful look in his gorgeous blue eyes. That first year was a nightmare; hopefully this final year won't be so bad.

"As you can see, I'll be going on maternity leave shortly," Kurenai commented "So be nice to Deidara when I'm gone. He will be taking my place for the rest of the year."

"Great," I mumbled "Just great. I'm going to die."

"Irie, do you have something to say?" Kurenai snapped.

"First let me congratulate you," I smiled sweetly recovering quickly.

"Thank you."

"I was just telling Hinata how much I can't wait to be taught by such an experienced artist like Deidara," I forced a smile his way "His art is quite explosive."

His smile flickered at my sarcasm but his ego kept it in place. I was so screwed this year. Luckily he ignored me for the rest of the class, but I could see his brain working up an evil scheme. I was so relieved when the bell rung, and raced out to advanced combat training.
