Gaara woke up in sick bay laying on one of the uncomfortable beds; he looked around to find a school nurse sitting at her desk. He got up from the bed and started walking out of the room when the nurse got up and stopped him in his tracks.
"Sorry you have to stay here" said the nurse.
"I don't care what system you've got here I'm going home since it's the end of the day" angered Gaara.
Gaara walked past the nurse and out of sick bay and on to home, he walked the back streets to avoid the crowd and saw Ino behind a tree crying. Gaara walked up to her and she heard the sound of footsteps and turned around to see who it was. Ino saw that it was Gaara and made an effort to reduce the amount of tears on her face, she saw the look of sympathy in his eyes and grabbed his arms and buried her face in his chest and cried harder than before.
"What's the matter Ino?" asked Gaara.
"Well Sakura she had a fight with Sasuke about flirting with her and I don't know why because this was nothing new and she never complained about it before in fact sometimes she encouraged it then Sasuke started yelling at me for her outburst and said that I was a slut and that he didn't want to see me anymore" cried Ino.
"Don't worry about that douche bag you are a teenager after all you have plenty of years ahead of you to form plenty of relationships" enthused Gaara.
"That's true, thanks for your encouraging words Gaara" chimed Ino.
Ino lifted her head from his chest and smiled then she ran off, Gaara felt good about himself for helping Ino get over her problem. Once Gaara got home he just lazed away the rest of the afternoon in his room.
Kankuro was out of the house and at the cinemas waiting for TenTen to arrive, he saw her get out of the cab and fall hard on the ground which made him laugh. TenTen saw Kankuro laughing and she knew he saw her spectacular fall from the cab, unfortunately she hadn't got enough practice wearing the black heels she bought yesterday especially for this date. She even wore a green tube top and black skirt that went down to her knees just to get his attention; TenTen rushed over to him and greeted him. They chose a horror movie and got their food and went inside the cinema, Kankuro suggested they sit in a side aisle. TenTen thought this was so they could make out without any one seeing and dug into her food vigorously so she would have more make out time, Kankuro got more comfortable in his seat waiting for the blood and gore to start. It was half way through the movie and Kankuro was on the edge of his seat admiring the blood and gore spectacle, TenTen almost jumped out of her seat watching one scene and grabbed on to Kankuro's arm and held it very tight.
Why did she say she wanted to see a horror movie if she was going to react like this?
TenTen started to rub Kankuro's leg and finally he realised what TenTen had been trying to convey the whole time he knew her. He sat back in his seat and kissed her continuously, finally she had got what she came for a make out session. Kankuro's lips felt hard and commanding to TenTen but that was just the way she liked it, he clasped a hand around her breast which gave her an adrenalin rush. Kankuro pulled away from the kiss and smiled which made TenTen mad.
"Why did you pull away?" asked TenTen.
"Because the movie is over and the lights are about to go on" answered Kankuro.
Indeed he was right the lights turned on, Kankuro and TenTen got up from their seats and walked out of the cinema. Once they we're outside the building Kankuro waited with TenTen for her ride home, the cold got to TenTen and she started shaking Kankuro saw this and offered her his jacket. TenTen took it and put it on. It took forever for their rides to come but finally they came.
Temari was in her room deciding on her outfit for her next date with Shikamaru when her door burst open with a smiling Kankuro.
"What are you so happy about?" inquired Temari.
"I thought I was to a movie with a friend turns out it was a date" answered Kankuro.
"Figures that you would be so clueless" taunted Temari.
"So how is everything with the shogi nerd?" questioned Kankuro.
"None of your business now gets out of my room before I throw you out" demanded Temari.
Kankuro left the room and shut the door behind him and Temari went back to choosing outfits, she had almost settled on things when she heard her phone buzzing. Temari rummaged through her beg and got out her ringing phone to see that it was a text from Shikamaru.
To Temari: Are you free right now?
She was indeed free but checked her alarm clock to see what time it was, the clock read 11:47pm and Temari nearly jumped if she we're to go out now her dad or anyone else couldn't find out since it was past their curfew. Temari started typing up a reply.
To Shikamaru: Yes but it will take me a bit longer to get to your place since I'll have to sneak out.
A few minutes later her phone buzzed again.
To Temari: Okay see you soon.
And with that she opened the window and got out as quietly as she could.
Gaara woke up with the same nauseous feeling he had when he passed out the day before so he stayed home. He passed the time reading some of the books on the shelf in his sister's room. But the boredom finally got to Gaara and he fell asleep.
...
It was the week end and Kankuro was at TenTen's place waiting for her, she had told Kankuro she wasn't ready yet and that he should wait for her but of course it was only a ploy to make him want her more. Kankuro passed the time by fidgeting with his phone and reading whatever was lying around. TenTen finally came out wearing a stunningly beautiful red dress with a black belt around the waist, Kankuro just stood in shock at how beautiful she was and wondering who ever said blondes look the best in red was obviously a nut job.
"Not that you don't look completely stunning and all but why the belt?" inquired Kankuro.
"It's a bit loose for me around the waist and I don't know how to sew and I don't have the money to have it taken in so I put on an old belt that would go with the dress" answered TenTen.
"That makes sense" said Kankuro.
Then they we're off to the restaurant for their date. Once there TenTen and Kankuro got a seat in one of the booths that had a view of the local shopping district. TenTen's chocolate orbs sparkled in the light of the restaurant and Kankuro couldn't help but admire her grace and outgoing nature, TenTen slipped off her heels and started rubbing Kankuro's leg under the table. Kankuro looked at her and smirked.
"Do you want to go back to my place after dinner and have some night time fun?" asked TenTen.
"Sure why not" answered Kankuro.
Gaara spent the night listening to music and blocking out the umpteenth fight between Temari and his father for her sneaking out to see her friend, but that was as much as his father knew luckily for Temari he didn't know it was actually her boyfriend she saw. Gaara scribbled random nonsense on his note pad to help pass the time; he looked out his window and saw the cherry blossom tree planted in the park next to his house and thought of Sakura and her bubble gum locks. Things had been weird between them since that morning in drama class and it frustrated Gaara to no end not knowing why, it's not like they didn't hang out still it's just Sakura was usually quiet and Ino had to fill in the void.
It was late in the morning on Monday during third period and Gaara was sitting next to the douche bag Sasuke Uchiha who had hurt Ino very badly, Sasuke just looked at Gaara and gave his trade mark smirk. The teacher was asleep in his desk so everyone just mucked around but still made sure the teacher wasn't woken.
"So how are you Gaara?" asked Sasuke.
"I'm fine you sleazy prick" answered Gaara.
"What's with the attitude? Is it because little Sakura is with me and not you?" taunted Sasuke.
Gaara's face showed some of the anger he felt inside then he remembered the Uchiha was watching and relaxed his face into its normal expression, but Sasuke still saw this and decided to pursue his taunting further. Sasuke moved close enough to Gaara so Gaara was the only one who could hear what he was about to say.
"I absolutely love the clothes she wear's but of course they look even better on my floor" whispered Sasuke.
That was the last straw for Gaara; he got up out of his seat and punched the Uchiha right in the face. Students crowded around the table where Gaara and Sasuke we're at and they we're yelling all sorts of things to encourage and hurt them. Sasuke got up from the ground and ran towards Gaara, grabbing him and taking him down to the ground where he was able to land a hit to Gaara's chest. Gaara was able to kick Sasuke off then started pulling at Sasuke's hair in an attempt to pull it out, Sasuke kicked Gaara's arm away from his head. They both got up and Sasuke kicked Gaara in the head but Gaara just shrugged it off and lucky for him the Uchiha had left a very vulnerable part unprotected unlike before; Gaara took this opportunity and kicked Sasuke right between his legs. Sasuke slowly started slumping to the ground and had his hands on his crotch, his face started to turn red and Gaara knew he was in too much pain to get up or even cry out in pain and felt a sadistic pleasure from this. Of course the teacher was awoken by all the ruckus and gave Gaara and Sasuke detention.
Gaara and Sasuke we're in detention on opposite sides of the room, a man named Kakashi was the teacher in charge of detention and he was making sure Gaara and Sasuke we're doing what they we're told. Once it was over Kakashi let them go, Gaara walked home with a sense of self satisfaction that made him forget about all his troubles. When he got home Temari said he has a guest waiting for him in his bedroom, so Gaara walked to his room and opened the door to find Sakura sitting on his bed and she seemed a little down.
"Sakura what's the matter?" asked Gaara.
"It's just all the college applications I sent out have been rejected" answered Sakura.
"That really sucks, I don't see why they did though your one of the smartest people in this school" exclaimed Gaara.
"I shouldn't have been surprised after all I did piss off Sasuke with what I said to him" said Sakura.
"What does Sasuke have to do with any of this?" inquired Gaara.
"Sasuke's has an older brother named Itachi who has good connections with all the rich and powerful people of the world and he does anything to make his little brother Sasuke happy" replied Sakura.
Gaara sat down on the bed registering what she just said and what he did to Sasuke, he was starting to worry that Sasuke would make sure that his father got fired and started to feel a little nauseous.
"So you're saying he's an arsehole with power okay then I'm about ready to go kill myself" lamented Gaara.
"Why what did you do?" questioned Sakura.
"Today in class he said some really bad things about you and I lost it and bashed the shit out of him" answered Gaara.
"Thank you for defending me when I wasn't able to defend myself" said Sakura.
"No problem he was being a total sleaze bag saying you we're with him and we're having sex with him so I pretty much had to" chimed Gaara.
"So will you be going to my party on Saturday?" questioned Sakura.
"Of course" answered Gaara.
Temari was wearing a long golden coloured one shoulder dress she got for her birthday last year and a gold necklace with a sapphire hanging from it to match, when Shikamaru saw her he was astounded at her unparalleled beauty. Of course they did their usual insult flirting and some making out but tonight they had planned to go to this special spot on the lake for their romantic evening. Temari's golden dress flowed in the night air and her heart beated to the sound of his. Shikamaru just laid there looking at the absolutely gorgeous Temari, he put his hand to her cheeck and started to stroke it.
Kankuro was in his seat in geography like everyone else waiting for the teacher to come, to pass the time he played air drums on his desk and started singing iron man. The noise of his fellow students grew louder and louder, he finally turned around to see a bunch of fan girls going nuts. Kankuro walked over to the crowd to get a closer look and saw they we're going nuts over Sasuke Uchiha and his brother Itachi, Kankuro thought Sasuke was a twat but he had talked to Itachi and thought he was alright. He went back to his seat and continued what he was doing before; TenTen saw Kankuro and rushed over to him. Kankuro gave her a quick kiss on the lips and TenTen threw herself on him which Kankuro found amusing, Sasuke saw Kankuro and remembered he was Gaara's brother and a plot arose in mind for his revenge on Gaara.
