A/n: Heres the next chapter!

Sasuke just opened his locker when it was forcefully slammed shut in his face, he turned slowly smirking smugly knowing who was behind him. " Uchiha" Gaara spat. Sasuke grinned, " Freaks" He replied. Neji stepped forward, " back off, Uchiha, she's with us" Sasuke smirked, " Anyway you say it it's still going to be her moaning my nam-" Sasuke was cut off by a fist to his cheek. He stood up slowly clutching his cheek and observed a shaking Gaara. " Don't tell me the monster is falling for her" Sasuke sneered. Gaara took a deep breath, " I'll tell you one more time Uchiha, stay away from Sakura." Gaara turned around and left, the other guys following closely. They walked to they're next class in silence until Kankurou broke it, " We'll have to keep an eye on Sakura" The others only nodded.

They all met up at lunch and sat at they're usual table in the back, the guys were already there and waiting impatiently for the girls. After about five minutes all the girls appeared, minus Sakura. Gaara felt his stomach plummet when he observed Sasuke was also missing. " Sakura will be here any minute" Temari answered his unvoiced question. Just then the doors opened revealing Sakura but everyone froze when she collided with one of the schools infamous Akatsuki gang member.

Sakura felt herself falling and prepared to hit the hard floor but surprisingly nothing happened, she then realized a pair of strong arms were wrapped around her waist. Cracking one eye open she saw who was holding her and immediately jumped on them sending both of them crashing to the ground, both unaware the whole school was watching them. " Dei-kun! You were supposed to catch me" Sakura scolded helping Deidara up. Deidara grinned down at her, " It's not my fault your so fat!" He exclaimed poking her in the stomach. Sakura began twitching before she repeatedly smacked Deidara over the head. They were so caught up in they're reunion they failed to notice the two pairs of glaring eyes that were surrounded by murderous auras. One pair of onyx glaring eyes, burning with jealousy. One pair of narrowed jade eyes, filled with rage and hurt.

" Ano…… Dei-kun? Why are you here?" Sakura asked, " I transferred here a week ago" Deidara replied grinning. " Aa", Sakura was soon being pulled by Deidara over to a table full of seniors. " This is Kisame, Sasori, Zetsu, Tobi, and Uchiha Itachi" He said while pointing at people sitting at the table. " Hey are you related to the chicken hair guy?" Sakura suddenly asked staring at Sasuke who caught her and winked while smiling seductively. When Sakura saw this she started gagging but stopped when she heard a low husky chuckle coming from behind her. Sakura felt her cheeks get hot after hearing Itachi laugh, " He's my little brother" Itachi explained and Sakura nodded, now recovered from her gagging fit.

" Well Deidara, It's been fun talking to you but…..I have to get back to my other friends" She told him while warily eyeing the Sasori guy who was looking at her like a starving dog, she ran to the table in the back and sat next to Gaara. No sooner than she had just sat Gaara asked, " What is he to you?" Sakura blinked, ' Well he gets right to the point' She thought bitterly. " He's my best friend" She replied, " Why?" Sakura asked slyly. A light pink covered Gaara's cheeks but he just glared. " Ohhh! Gaara's blushing" The girls said. Temari suddenly narrowed her eyes towards Shikamaru, " Why don't you ever blush at me? Huh? Lazy ass!" Shikamaru sighed, " to troublesome" He told her and she began to scream at him. That's the way it continued throughout lunch Temari glomping/strangling Shikamaru, Kankurou stuffing his face, Neji glaring at nothing in particular, and Gaara stealing glances at Sakura while she was talking to the girls.

" Hey, Sakura, you should come to my house after school, everyone is going to be there" Temari said while motioning to the group. " Sure!" Sakura said. " Oi Sakura!" Sakura and the gang turned toward where the call had come from to find a grinning Sasuke surrounded by his gang and a few glaring fan girls. " You should really hang with us, and don't worry I'll protect you from the monster" Sasuke said giving Gaara a look of disgust. Sakura glared while sticking up her middle finger, hoping to discourage him but much to her displeasure this only seemed to brighten Sasukes mood. " I'd love to!

Sakura-chan" He purred and Sakura mentally slapped her forehead while outwardly groaning. " Leave Uchiha" Gaara growled." Fine, but I'll be watching for you tonight, Sakura" Sasuke said and walked away with his gang.

Sakura suddenly felt very uneasy, "w-what did he mean by that?" Sakura asked. " Where do you live?" Gaara probed. " 503 East Addison street" She replied without hesitation. Gaara growled, " Sasuke lives in 504" Sakura gasped, " Now I don't want to go home" She whimpered and Temari put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, " Why don't you stay the night at my place, we can get your stuff after school" Sakura nodded, " okay that sounds good" Temari grinned and started yelling about how she wasn't going to be the only girl in the house tonight. Sakura and Gaara sweat dropped while thinking the same thing, 'Tonight's going to be a looong night.'
