Chapter 2: Chill Out, It's Just a Rumor! Isn't It?

Naruto's P.O.V.

"Woohoo, dodge ball!" Kiba cheered as he put his pants into his locker (he's wearing shorts people). He turned to Shikamaru, who was sitting next to me tying his shoe, and me. "So, who's the poor sap today?"

Shikamaru smiled but continued tying his shoe, "It's Naruto's choice today." I smirked evilly as I began to think, but I was rudely interrupted-

"You should pick Sakura," I turned around to find Sai smiling, that fake smile at me.

I glared at him, "Why would I do that?"

"Oh, well I just heard her telling Temari some nasty rumor about you," He was smirking cruelly now, which really pissed me off.

"What did she say?" I asked, trying to stay calm.

"Oh, I don't remember," Sai shook his head as he turned to exit the locker room. "But I think it involved Sasuke," But before Sai could get to the door, my boy Kiba, grabbed his arm, twisted it behind he's back, and pushed him against the wall.

"What did that slut say about Naruto?" Kiba growled.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Sai mocked with a smile.

"Spill it!" Kiba commanded as he tightened the grip on the other boy's arm.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Geez, she said Naruto was Sasuke's new bitch," Sai couldn't help smiling at the last three words. But as Sai grinned, my jaw dropped.

"W-What did she say?"

Sakura's P.O.V.

"Ooh, Hinata-chan!" I yelled as I skipped through the locker room door.

"Uh? Oh, hello Sakura-chan," She smiled as she looked up from her book. I walked over and sat down beside her.

"Whacha reading?"

"Broadway Musicals of the 1980's,"

"Uh-huh," I replied, bored out of my mind. She continued to read her book, as I looked around the room searching for something interesting. "So…anyway, did you hear about Naruto?"

"Uh? No, what happen to N-Naruto?" She asked, ripping her attention from the book.

"Oh, well since you asked…Naruto's dating Sasuke." I smirked, while checking out my nails.

Suddenly I heard Hinata's book hit the ground, "S-Sasuke-?" I turned to her, oh shit the water works had been turned on.

"Hinata, please don't cry. He's not worth it!" I tried to reassure her. I wrapped my arms around her small, shaking body as she cried into my shirt. Shit, this wasn't exactly what I planned… "It's okay, Hinata. There are other guys out there!" I patted her back.

"No, there's not!" She retorted through her sobbing. I rolled my eyes, she's just so weak.

"Hinata, he's gay."

"I know…that damn bastard! I've always loved him, but he was too thick headed to notice." Hinata pushed herself away from me. Instead of seeing a heart-broken Hinata, I was staring at a red-faced Hinata. Her eyes burned with furry, and her right hand was balled into a fist. "Where the hell is Naruto?" She hissed.

Hell, this was better than I planned!

"Alright maggots, who wants to be our team captains?" Anko-Sensei shouted, even though we were like five feet away. I watched as Naruto and Kiba jumped up and down, while repeating "me, me!" They were so immature.

"Okay, Naruto-" Anko-Sensei pointed at the blonde boy.

"Yess!" He cheered as he ran over to Anko's left side.

"And…"

"Me, pick me!" Kiba begged.

"Sasuke!" Anko-Sensei called.

"Aww," Kiba hung his head in disappointment.

I rolled my eyes at Kiba's whining, " Oh stop crying, dog-breath." He stuck his tongue out at me.

"Whatever, slut." He sneered as he plastered his hand, shaped like an L, to his forehead.

"What did you just say, fucktard?" I hissed, walking slow in his direction. My hands quickly curled into fist, as the distant between him and I began to close.

"Hey! That's enough!" Anko-Sensei yelled before blowing her whistle. "Save it for the game. Naruto, the first's yours!" I walked back over to my spot between Temari and Hinata. Of course, not before giving Kiba a quick, but hard, punch in the arm.

"Ouch! Coach did you see that?" Kiba hollered.

"Shut it, dog boy!" Anko-Sensei growled. Kiba instantly shut up and whimpered quietly. I smirked to myself, he totally deserved that. "Now Naruto, if you don't mind." Naruto silently nodded before taking a moment to make his decision.

"Kiba!"

Anko-Sensei nodded in response, "Sasuke, your turn."

"Sai,"

"Shikamaru!"

"Pick Temari," Sai whispered loudly to Sasuke.

"Temari."

"Hmph," Temari smirked as she left my side and walked to Sasuke's. Now only Hinata and I were left. I was kinda hoping I wouldn't be picked last…

"I choose…Hinata!" Naruto grinned as he pointed to the girl on my left.

"Dumbass…" She mumbled as she walked away.

"That means, Sakura, you're on Sasuke's team." Anko-Sensei told me as she walked to the middle of the gym. I sauntered over to my team. Anko-Sensei then explained the rules:

"There are no rules, anything goes!" She beamed before blowing her whistle and running for cover.

Anything, uh? I think it's time to make an alliance!

Sasuke's P.O.V.

Gym class was surprisingly fun.

Everyone grabbed a ball expect for Sakura, who instantly grabbed Temari's hand, pulled her over to the opponents' side, and began an alliance with Hinata. Sai, being the only other guy on the team, told me he'd take care of Kiba and Shikamaru. Which left Naruto to me. Thirty minutes later, Anko blow her over-used whistle, and gym was over. In the end, thanks to Sakura and her alliance, my team won. Naruto's team ended up all the casualties. Kiba's earlier conversation with Sakura, resulted in him receiving a bloody nose from Sakura and a black eye from Temari. Naruto on the other hand, had multiple bruises and some welts on his back from Hinata. It was weird, I had never seen Hinata get so mad before…especially at Naruto. I would have to ask Sakura about it later- "Hey, Sasuke!" I was on my way to seventh period when Neji found me.

"Uh hey, Neji." I replied to his greeting. He joined me, walking down the halls of Konaha High School. We both had history now with Kakashi-Sensei, but neither of us were in a rush; he was always late.

I like to think that if I actually enjoyed any of my classes, it would be history. It was the most amusing forty-five minutes of my school day. Not only because I could take my time after gym, but simply because of my classmates. Neji walked ahead of me, opening the door to the classroom, and letting me go through first.

"Ha! See, Jugo? I told you boss1 would be here!" A sharp toothed, white haired boy smiled triumphantly. "You owe me five bucks!" A weak smile was the only response the boy got, before a hand met the back of his head.

"Don't bet on Sasu-kun, you idiot!" Karin scowled the boy, before she smiled at me.

"I hope she's not waiting for you to give her a dog treat or something," Neji whispered as he passed me to get to his seat. I smirked at the thought. "Sasu-kun." He leered as he sat down. I winced at the nickname that was given to me by Karin. I continued to frown at the name, until someone called for my attention: "Boss?"

"Uh, Suigetsu?"

"I'm sorry," He hung his head in shame.

"About what, Suigetsu?" I questioned, knowing fully well why. Suigetsu let out a sigh of frustration before he answered.

"For betting on you, boss."

"Oh? I guess I'll let it slip, what do you think Neji?" I was just messing with Suigetsu, which he understood by now. Neji glared at me for bringing him into it.

"Well gosh Sasuke, I don't know," He muttered sarcastically as he pulled a book out of his bag.

"Well, I say 'no'." Karin spoke up, pushing her glasses further up the bridge of her nose.

"Well, that's one 'no', what about you, Jugo?" I purred, enjoying this a little too much. But I mean, hey, Suigetsu was way too much fun to mess with. By now Suigetsu sat in front of me with a pouting. Jugo sat to his right, while Karin sat behind Jugo, and Neji sat on my left.

"I say 'yes' to whatever we're voting on. Just to spite Karin," A brown hair dog barked, as he and his golden haired, friend walked in.

"Look who ruined the party," Karin sneered, before looking at me once again for approval. Neji laughed quietly at her actions, before returning to his book.

"Well, none the less, I hope we were voting you guys out of the back row. I'm sick of sitting in the front, you goths need to sit up here for a change." Kiba winked at Naruto, who punched him kiddingly. They both grabbed their seats in front of Jugo and Suigetsu, before Karin shouted something at Kiba. I let out a sigh, as Karin and Kiba went at it.

"Cat fight!" Suigetsu laughed.

"Shut up!" Karin roared, making Suigetsu flinch in fear. As Jugo patted the now cursing Suigetsu, Neji continued to read his book. Naruto soon joined in on the 'cat fight'. A small chuckle passed through my lips as I began counting the bruises on Naruto's arms. Something about the bruises made him seem more…sexy?

"Whacha looking at, teme?" Naruto's right eyebrow was arched as he stared at me with his head cocked to the side.

"Hn, nothing, dobe." I answered with a monotone voice. Suddenly, the classroom door slid open. No one bothered to stop their arguing or book reading to check who it was, expect for Naruto, Suigetsu, and I. Sai walked quietly to his seat next to Suigetsu, in front of Neji.

"Where you been, Sai?" Suigetsu greeted the artist.

"Talking to Lady Tsunade," He smiled at him. Suigetsu shivered a bit, but I guess Sai didn't notice. Or care. "She said we had a sub. Apparently, Kakashi broke his leg and will be excused from teaching for a month."

"A sub, huh?" Suigetsu pondered the possibilities with a malicious grin.

"Kakashi-Sensei broke his leg? How?" Naruto questioned the rest of us, thinking we knew the answer. Which we didn't, or at least I didn't.

"Lady Tsunade just told me he was hit by a car," Sakura clarified, as she rushed into the room, books in her arms.

"A car?" Naruto exclaimed, "How did someone hit Ka-"

"I'm not sure, Naruto." Sakura stated coldly. She sat next to Kiba, in front of Sai.

It was fair to say everyone in the room was concerned about Kakashi. The classroom grew silent as we all waited to find out who was Kakashi's substitute: "Good afternoon, students." A man with white hair smiled as he walked into the classroom. The man had a black briefcase in his left hand, and a book in his other. He sat his belongings down on Kakashi's desk in the front of the classroom. Then turning to the blackboard, which Kakashi rarely used, and wrote something on it. Once he had finished, he moved to the left a bit so we could read the writing: History of Sex.

Karin and Sakura's jaw dropped, while Kiba, Naruto, and Suigetsu began laughing. "I'm glad some of you find this funny. Because this is what we'll be studying for the next whole month!" The man smiled again. Kiba and Naruto laughed even harder, but Suigetsu was now sporting a shocked look on his face. The man coughed lightly to gain everyone's attention. "My name is Jiraya-Sensei, and I'll be Kakashi Hatake's substitute.

1: I made Suigetsu call Sasuke "boss" in the story because I always thought of Suigetsu as an "employee" of Sasuke's. So the whole "yes boss", "no boss", "sorry boss" seemed to fit him. Or at least it seemed to fit to me. XD
