Chapter 2, The Deal!

Gaara shook his head at the preppy girls announcement. He couldn't believe that 1) she was asking guys to join a girls sport, 2) that she actually asked people to go watch the stupid football game that they were going to lose. Naruto was walking next to him, his chains clattering as the blond just about skipped down the hall to their class. He had never seen the "princess" of the school act like that before, using her body to get her way. He was disgusted. He thought that, out of every single girl in this school, that Sakura would be the last to try something like that.

"Sabaku, Uzumaki. Where have you been?" Their Math teacher, Iruka, asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

Naruto smiled stupidly, scratching the back of his head while he laughed nervously, Gaara just stared with a blank face. It was Naruto who spoke. "We were, uh, in the office, Iruka-sensei. I guess we'll be seeing you after school for awhile now!" He practically shouted the last part, clasping his hands behind his head once again.

"Wonderful!" Gaara heard the sarcasm that dripped from the teachers mouth. "Take your seat."

Gaara walked to the back of the room and sat down, pulling his baggy black pants up slightly on the way. Naruto took the seat next to him and started snoring even before Iruka continued with the class, Gaara smirked and looked out the window to his left, that is, until the door opened again.

"Sorry I'm late, Iruka-sensei!" That annoying voice came, Gaara glared at the pink haired girl as she handed her pass over and quickly took her seat with her other cheerleader friends. He held back the shiver that crept up his spine at hearing her giggles.

"Thank you, ah... Rock Lee. That was great. We'll let you know if you made it later on." Sakura said, the first to recover from the Lee's "youthful" dance. Her smile was more just to get him to leave, he had proclaimed his "love" for her right after he was done, just like he did every time he was in the same room as her.

"Good-bye my youthful cherry blossom!" He cried as he... skipped... from the room.

"O..k..." Ino said, crossing out his name. "Next!"

"Name?" Came a small whisper from Sakura's other side where Hinata sat with a clipboard on the table that she was writing on.

"Inuzuka Kiba." They all looked up to see the football blocker himself.

"Why are you trying out for the cheer squad, Kiba?" Sakura asked, standing from her spot at the table and walking over to the stage he was standing on. He knelt down so that he could talk in a lower voice.

"If I make the team, I won't get kicked off for failing, right?" He said in a low voice, giving Sakura a wink.

"No, I guess not." Sakura swung her legs up on to the stage and stood beside him. "TenTen?" TenTen nodded and started the music. "Okay, I'm going to show you a few things, then I want you to do them with your own twist to it. Okay?" Kiba nodded. "Five six seven eight!" Sakura did a simple move slowly, then nodded and did it again, faster and with her own little thing added into it. "Your turn." Kiba nodded and counted to himself as he did the same thing, then did it again adding a back flip in the middle. All of his fooling around as a kid really came in handy. Sakura and Kiba then did it again, this time together and making up a few new things as they went. Kiba ended with lifting Sakura in the air with one hand under her butt, Sakura's arm up in the air.

Ino, Hinata and TenTen clapped.

"Thanks for coming, you're the best we've seen today!" Sakura laughed. "You're definitely on. First practice is tomorrow right after school. Sorry, but you'll have to skip on football if you want to be on the squad. Kuranai-sensei is going to see how everything is going tomorrow, so if you're not there, then you wont be on the squad."

"I'll be there." He gave her a small wink, waved to the girls at the table, then left.

"I'm spent!" Ino groaned, sinking in her chair a little bit. Sakura rolled her eyes. "Can we go home?!" She whined.

"You guys can, but I have to stay after a little while." Sakura said, jumping down and collecting all of her papers. "TenTen, can you tell mom that I'll be home for dinner?"

"Sure." TenTen smiled then left with the other girls.

TenTen had been adopted into the Haruno family. Her and Sakura had been sisters since they were little. She didn't know what she would do without her sister. She waved and went the other way. Tsunade was going to teach her a few new things before Sakura went home.

"Sakura!"

The pink haired girl looked up from the book she was reading and smiled as her sister sat down in the chair opposite her. She put the book down and glanced around the library, not many people were in there. "What's up?"

"I was just in class with Kuranai-sensei. She wanted me to show you the list of guys that she said are okay for the squad." TenTen held out a folded paper to Sakura.

"Kiba and Sai... That's it?! We need more then just two guys!" Sakura looked up at her brown haired sister with wide eyes. "Why only them? What happened to that Shoda guy?"

"Got suspended for drugs." TenTen put her hands on her two buns, making sure her hair wasn't falling out. "The same with that other guy. Major drug bust."

"That was them?" Sakura asked, leaning forward on the table. She sighed when her sister nodded. "Great. Let's go." Sakura smiled as she stood, picking up her book and putting it back on the shelf.

TenTen followed Sakura out of the library. School had just ended, the final bell ringing as they left the school. Cheer practice was going to be hard today, it being the first one with the guys really helping out. They would mainly be doing stretches and hand springs today, getting the guys loosened up for the real stuff that they'd do tomorrow. The two girls met the rest of the squad in the locker room, and quickly changed into their uniforms. Hinata had gotten her Father to give them money for the guys uniforms, they were coming in sometime next week. Being a daughter of one of the richest man in the country had its perks.

All of the girls came out of the locker room to see the two guys waiting for them. Kiba walked over and put his arm around Hinata as he talked to her, she blushed and fiddled with her fingers as she talked back to him, stuttering slightly. They all went out to the field and started the stretching, Ino leading it while Sakura and TenTen helped the boys. Hinata was talking to Kuranai-sensei. Sakura pushed a little bit on Sai's back, he grunted in pain, but held the position, Kiba was swearing under his breath, promising to never say that cheer leading isn't a sport ever again. Sakura just rolled her eyes and kicked his foot out from under him, making him do a full split. He hollered in pain and fell on his back, grabbing what is left of his balls.

All of the girls started laughing, while Sai looked on with a sour face. Sakura just smirked and went over to Kiba. "You okay?" She asked in an innocent voice, eyes full of mock concern.

"You are evil." He groaned out, rolling over to his side. Sakura silently giggled as she stood back up.

"FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!"

Everyone looked towards the football field to see a group of people huddled by the gates. Sakura glanced at Ino and TenTen before she ran over to see what was happening. Hinata followed after her. She jumped up on the bleachers and looked down upon the fight. She gasped at seeing Sasuke and Gaara down there, Gaara landed a punch that brought blood to Sasuke's lips. Hinata's hand flew to her mouth, concern filling her features.

Everything seemed to go into slow motion as Sakura watched, her head tilting to the side a little.

Gaara jumped back a few times as Sasuke tried to land a hit. He did a back flip to get out of the way from Sasuke's swiping foot, then sunk low to the ground as his foot came for his head. Gaara did a small somersault and brought his feet up, kicking Sasuke in the face as he went into a handstand, twirling back into a stand. Sasuke landed a hard punch to Gaara's ribs, making him loose his balance, Sasuke took this to his advantage, placing punches and kicks in where ever he could, not giving Gaara a chance to get his balance back. Sakura found herself holding her breath. Gaara did a quick move, something Sakura almost missed, and Sasuke was suddenly in the air above Gaara's head, with the red head holding him up. A slow smile started coming to her face as she stared at Gaara, watching as he through Sasuke to the ground, and kicked the football star repeatedly.

"Stop!!" A yell came.

Gaara stopped kicking the boy on the ground and turned to see Tsunade, along with Kakashi-sensei, Asuma-sensei, and Jiraiya-sensei behind her. They all ran over and got between the two boys.

"What is going on?" Tsunade bellowed, her stern brown eyes fixing on the panting Gaara. "I told you no more fighting, Sabaku." She growled.

There was a flash of yellow, and suddenly Naruto was standing between his friend and the principle. "Wait, Tsunade-sama! It isn't Gaara's fault! Sasuke started it, I saw everything! Sasuke egged him on, then threw the first punch! Gaara was just defending himself!" the blond waved his hands in the air in a peace making matter, but it only seemed to make Tsunade ever more mad then she was before.

"Naruto, you are Gaara's only friend. Of course you would defend him." Kakashi said in a lazy manner.

"Did anyone else see what happened?" Asuma asked, looking around. "You, Sakura!" He pointed up to where the girls were standing, all eyes turned on them. "You have a good view, what happened?" Emerald met jade. Emerald and jade locked, something with the gazes said something to the other. Jade looked away from emerald. "Well?!"

"No, Asuma-sensei!" Hinata called down. "W-we got here after the fight started!" Her voice was soft, but it got to the people below. Sakura still stared at Gaara, who looked back after a few seconds, a warning in his gaze. Sakura smirked.

"Tsunade-shishou!" Sakura called, jumping up on the railing and jumping down to the ground below. A few people gasped, asking if she was okay, she ignored them and ran to the center of the crowd, where Tsunade and the others were waiting. "May I talk to Gaara for a few seconds?" She asked, looking up at her principle with hope filled eyes. "Alone." She added quickly, glancing at the blond who had his jaw hanging open as he stared at Sakura with disbelief. "Just a few seconds is all I ask."

"Make it quick." Tsunade growled, the turned to the crowds. "Alright! Go, all of ya! Out of my sight!" The crowds started fleeing, not wanting to get on the womens bad side.

Sakura ran over to Gaara and grabbed his arm, pulling him to the side. He ripped his arm from her grasp and growled at her. She rolled her eyes and glanced around, just to make sure no one was listening. "Listen... I heard what Tsunade-sama said in the office the other day, that you wouldn't be able to come back to the school. I have a proposal for you." Sakura crossed her arms and looked up at the man that was a whole head taller then herself, which she just realized. "I can get you out of getting kicked out, if you join the squad. You don't need good grades to be in it, so that doesn't matter. You just have to stay out of trouble. I can talk Tsunade into anything, I'm your only hope."

"You really think that I would become a fucking cheerleader?!" He hissed, bending his head down so that his words were clear to her. "No. Never. Nothing you could say would get me to do that." He hissed then started walking away.

"What if I said that I could get all of your records erased?"

The boy stopped, tilting his head back to her, showing he was listening.

"I could make everything disappear. All of your records swiped clean. No one would ever know how much you were in trouble, you could start over. I just need you on the team until the year is out." Sakura took a few steps closer to him, uncrossing her arms. Gaara turned his head so that he could see her with one of his eyes. "After we are done the season, I will personally get rid of your records. But, I will not do it until the season is over with, I don't want you to walk away with out doing your part."

"And if you don't hold up your end of the deal?" He turned so that he was half facing her now, looking her up and down.

"I always keep my promises." Sakura's voice was hard and cold, he had struck a cord. He smirked.

"Just see if your shishou will let it happen. We'll go from there, kusabana." Gaara smirked and walked off towards where Tsunade was waiting for him.

Sakura was frozen. He had just called her "flower". It took a few blinks to get her mind back enough to run to where Tsunade was yelling at the red head. "Tsunade-shishou!" The blond women turned her glare to the pink haired girl, but it instantly softened at seeing who it was. "I need to talk with you." Sakura sent Gaara a small glance, he raised his chin, gesturing for her to get on with it. "Can you yell at him tomorrow? I need to talk with you... away from all this." Sakura waved her hands in the air, showing that she meant everyone around her. "Please, it's important." Sakura looked up at her with puppy eyes, hoping that she could trick Tsunade into giving Gaara the day off from being yelled at.

Tsunade sighed and looked up towards the sky. "I expect you in my office first thing in the morning, Sabaku." she said slowly, looking back towards the red head. He nodded. "Let's go to my office, Sakura." Sakura smiled and started following the busty blond women. As she passed Gaara, she mouthed the words "you own me for this!" to him. He rolled his eyes and went the other way, Sakura didn't miss how he grabbed at his ribs.

There you have it! This is the end of chapter two. I hope you liked it! :) Review please!
