Hey you guys! This is chapter 3 of Having a Ball! Woohooo! Sorry... Just really somewhat happy! Anyways here's the chapter!
I don't own Naruto!
By the way, I'm having Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro live in Konoha, not Suna and also I'm having the fourth kazekage, aka their dad, not be a part of their lives and instead I'm having them have their mother as their caretaker! XD XD Hope you like it and please don't hate me for it.
Chapter 3
Sakura POV
Sakura felt happy as she walked towards her first class. Konoha High had a soccer team! She then looked down at her schedule and saw that she would have Tactics with Anko Mitarashi. (AN: I couldn't think of a class at the time :P)
She arrived at a room and saw the words "Tactics Class" printed on a plaque next to the door. Sakura took a deep breath and opened the door. Many pairs of eyes followed her every move as she strolled to the sensei who was standing behind a table that contained many different types of weapons.
The violet-haired sensei smiled at Sakura. "You must be our new student. I'm Anko Mitarashi and I'll be your sensei on tactics. Wanna introduce yourself to the class?" Anko-sensei motioned towards the class.
Sakura turned and saw that most of the class was male oriented. Many, and I do mean many pairs of eyes belonging to hormonal teenaged bys were checking her out. She also saw a group of four girls.
"Ne. Don't tell me you don't like the attention Sakura. Most these guys are HOT! With a capital H-O-T!"
Sakura sighed inwardly. 'Shut it Inner.'
Sakura took a breath. "Hi. I'm Sakura Haruno. I'm 17. Yes, my hair is naturally pink. Yes I'm single. Yes my dad is Takumi Haruno. Yes my mom is Nami Haruno. No I'm not getting my parents to give you guys autographs." A burst of comments came at the poor cherry blossom when she stopped talking. It ranged from "Will you go out with me?" to "Takumi Haruno's you dad?" to "I'd tap that." and many crude remarks similar to that.
Sakura just rolled her eyes and turned to Anko and asked. "Where will I sit?"
Anko gave her a sympathetic look. "You had no idea that this used to be an all-boys school until this year, did you?"
Sakura now understood her parents' questons and shook her head.
Anko smiled. "You'll be okay. I know both your parents. I went to school with them. Takumi wouldn't be the one who would let his only daughter grow up not kowing how to protect herself. Plus Tsunade taught you some stuff, so you'll be fine."
Sakura was partially stunned, but what Anko-sensei said was plausible. Her parents did grow up in Konoha after all.
"I'll help you out. Sit next to Tenten Tsumari (AN: I made that up since Tenten never had a last name), Temari no Sabaku, Hinata Hyuga and Ino Yamanaka. They're the only other girls here." Anko said softly.
Sakura nodded as she headed towards the groups of girls she saw earlier. She waved at them as she started to take a seat next to the blue-eyed blond girl who had her hair up in a high ponytail and her bangs framing her face. "Hi. I'm Sakura."
The blue-eyed blond girl smiled at her. "Hey. I'm Ino Yamanaka. I'm 17 too."
"Yamanaka?" Sakura asked. "Isn't that the fancy florist company?"
"Hai! That's us!" Ino beamed. "Are you really Nami Haruno's daughter?"
"Yes..." Sakura replied.
"I just love her designs! She's an amazing fashion designer!" Ino squealed.
The brunette girl with the two buns in her hair,reminding Sakura almost of a Panda, just sighed. "Don't mind Ino. She's just weird. Anyways, I'm Tenten Tsumari. I'm the same age. Pleased to meet you and I loved watching your dad's little league play. He's a good coach and according to my dad, a legend as a pro soccer player."
Sakura beamed with pride for her parents. "Thanks Ino-pig. Tenten."
"'Ino-pig'?" Ino twitched. "Forehead!"
"That's the best you got Miss Piggy?" Sakura smirked.
Ino smirked back. "I'm gonna like you Miss Pinky."
Sakura smiled. "Same here Porkers. My dad taught me how to play soccer."
"Oh yeah! That's right! You played for Suna's girl's soccer team right?" The green-eyed blond girl, who had her up in four ponytails.
"Yup!" Sakura beamed. "I led the team to the championships both my freshman and sophomore year. My freshman year I was voted MVP and I was captain my sophomore year."
"Wow!" The girl exclaimed. "That's amazing! I'm Temari no Sabaku. I turned 18 last week! Woop-woop!"
Sakura giggled. "I'm happy for you! No Sabaku? Aren't you the daughter of Karura no Sabaku? The famous supermodel?"
"Yeah! That's my mom alright!" Temari grinned.
"That's cool!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Lastly. I'm Hinata Hyuga." The almost white-eyed dark blue-haired girl said softly, who had her hair short except for two strands of her front hair reaching her shoulders. "Pleased to meet you. I'm 17 also. I hope we become good friends."
Sakura took an immediately liking to all four of the girls. "Hai! Hyuga...? Isn't that a huge corporate company? And Hinata... Aren't you the daughter of the leader of that company?"
"Yeah." Hinata smiled softly. "That's me."
Sakura had a feeling that she was gonna like these four girls.
The next three periods, she found out that she had the same classes as Ino, Tenten, Hinata, and Temari. They had, reading, math, and then science. Sakura had the same overwhelming experience that she had in Anko's class in the rest of her classes. The boys were just everywhere!
Then they had lunch together. The same thing had happened there as well. Boys, hitting on her like no end.
Then the girls had PE, where it just got worse because Sakura was wearing shorts and a clingy t-shirt, medical skills, where surprisingly Shizune was teaching, and sparring. (AN: I couldn't think of anything and it seemed... Ninja-like. Deal with it.)
At the end of the very long day, Ino pipped up. "Ne. Sakura-chan! Do you wanna go check out the soccer team?"
Ino had Sakura when she said "soccer team". "The soccer team? Sure, why not. Just let me change cause I actually wanna run for a bit."
"Sure," Temari nodded. "The girl's locker is really close to the field anyways."
"You guys can go ahead." Sakura waved.
"Are you sure?" Tenten asked.
"Yes." Sakura rolled her eyes. "Plus Ino really looks like she wants to go check out guys so who am I to stop her?"
As soon as those words left Sakura's mouth, Ino sped of to the field and the other four girls laughed. "Okay. We'll see you later then Sakura."
With that Temari and Tenten left as well. However, Hinata stayed as Sakura changed into shorts, a white t-shirt and running shoes. "Ne. Hinata-chan, why are you waiting for me?" Sakura asked the Hyuga girl as she stuffed her clothes in her bag.
"I wanna see you run." Hinata stated. "I heard you were an amazing runner. So I wanna see how fast you can run."
Sakura was stunned yet was proud. "I'm not that great."
Hinata smiled at her modesty as they headed out for the tracks. There Sakura, was running the 100 meter and Hinata was timing.
Her personal best was 10.10 seconds and the time she got right now was 9.50 seconds.
Sakura was surprised as she hugged Hinata. "Hinata! I just beat my personal best by twenty seconds!"
"And you said you weren't that great." Hinata giggled.
"Wow. 9.50 seconds is better than the soccer captain's time." A deep voice said, scaring both the girls.
They turned to see a dark brown-eyed white-haired man staring at them.
"Wow... Even the teachers are pretty hot too..."
'Inner!'
"You know it's true.."
'Lalalala. I'm ignoring you!
"Ah. Kakashi-sensei." Hinata smiled.
"Hello Hinata." Kakashi looked at Sakura and smiled. "You must be the new girl everyone keeps talking about."
"Yeah I guess so." Sakura nodded. "I'm Sakura Haruno."
Kakashi seemed to have a double-take. "Haruno? As in Takumi Haruno?"
Sakura nodded hesitantly.
Kakashi broke out in a grin. "Ah... You're the precious little hime (AN: Hime means princess) Takumi quit soccer for."
"You know my dad?" Sakura asked cautiously.
"Yup! Your dad and I used to play for All-Stars' soccer team. That's when you're dad was pro and became this awesome legend." Kakashi smiled. "By the way, I'm Kakashi Hatake. I'm the soccer coach for Konoha."
"Wow that's cool that you played with dad." Sakura nodded. "Wait. Did you say soccer coach?"
Kakashi laughed. "I'm guessing you're a soccer player too?"
"You bet I am!" Sakura grinned. "Will you let me play on the team?"
Kakashi looked stunned for a bit. "Eh... The team's an all-boys team..."
"NANI? (AN: Nani is like what)" Sakura felt like she was gonna cry. "You don't have a girls' team at all?"
Kakashi shook his head. Hinata butt into the conversation. "But Kakashi-sensei! Sakura's amazing at soccer! She played for Suna's girls' soccer team and she brought them to the championships her freshman and sophomore year! She said so herself!"
Kakashi's eyes went wide. "I guess I should've expected nothing less from Takumi's kid. I'll see what the team says. You up for a little test run to see how good you are?"
"I'll ace it." Sakura grinned widely.
"I don't doubt it." Kakashi smiled. "But you see... The team captain isn't too fond of girls on his team."
"Then I'll just have to kick his ass." Sakura smirked.
Kakashi laughed and patted her on the shoulder. "You've got your dad's passion that's for sure."
With that the girls followed Kakashi to the soccer field.
At the Soccer Field (Third Person POV)
"Ne! Ino! Where's Hinata?" A loud mouth blond complained.
"Don't know." Ino shrugged.
"Tenten, do you know?" A Hyuga asked.
"She was in the girls' locker room." Tenten replied.
"Gaara! Kankuro! When's your practice gonna start." Temari complained to her younger brothers.
"I don't know!" The eldest boy yelled back.
"When Kakashi-sensei gets his ass over here." Gaara gritted his teeth.
The whole soccer team and the three girls have been waiting for ten minutes for Kakashi to show up.
"Hey! I think I see him!" The loud mouth screamed out.
"Shut up Dobe." A monotone voice gritted.
"Don't be mean Teme!" The loud mouth yelled back.
"Dobe."
"Teme!"
"Dobe."
"Teme!"
"Dobe."
"Tem-"
The soccer coach interrupted the little fit with a cough and everyone turned to see Kakashi with two girls.
"Hinata!" Naruto jumped up and took Hinata into a bear hug.
"U-um... H-hi Naruto..." Hinata was turning very very red by the seconds.
"Naruto. Let go of Hinata." The Hyuga was close to pounding Naruto into the ground.
"What took you so long Kakashi." The monotone voice glared at the coach.
"I was-" Kakashi started out.
"LIAR!" Naruto and many others from the soccer team, along with Tenten, Temari, and Ino, yelled out.
"Actually, this time I'm not lying." Kakashi smirked. "I was just watching my friend sprint." He motioned to the pink-haired girl who no one noticed, until now that is.
"Sakura! There you are!" Ino yelled out as she glomped the said girl.
"Yeah. Here I am." Sakura mused as she stared at the mass of teenaged boys staring at her.
"(whistle) Damn... There all so hot! I bet all of them have abs!"
'Inner! Be quiet!'
"But you know they're all pretty hot."
'Lalalalalalalala!'
"Kakashi... Were you trying to rape her...?" A brown-eyed brunette boy with two red streaks on his face and a cute white dog asked.
"Oi! I would never!" Kakashi stuck his tongue out. Everyone else looked skeptical.
"I was with her. She wasn't raped so come down." Hinata rolled her eyes. Everyone seemed to relax.
Kakashi mumbled something that sound like "I'm not that much a damn pervert..."
"Why'd you bring a girl to the soccer field?" Monotone asked, clearly not liking it.
"Glad you asked Sasuke." Kakashi gave him a cheeky smile. "She's here to-"
"Try out for the soccer team." Sakura finished for Kakashi.
"No." Was the immediate response from monotone.
"Sasuke give her a chance-" Kakashi glared.
"Who are you beautiful?" Dog boy asked, grinning.
"I'm Sakura Haruno. Nice to meet you and your cute little dog too." Sakura smiled back.
"I'm Kiba Inuzaka and my dog's name is Akamaru." Kiba grinned. "Haruno? You're Takumi Haruno's daughter right?"
"Hai."
"I still say no." Monotone struck again. "I don't care if her daddy's Takumi Haruno. Just cause her dad's good doesn't mean she is."
"Calm down Sasuke." The green-eyed red head with the tattoo symbol for "love" above his left eye said. "She played for Suna's girls' soccer team. She lead the team to championships twice. She was voted MVP her freshman year and captain her sophomore year."
"Did Temari tell you that?" Sakura glared at the said girl.
"She didn't need to." Red head shrugged. "I had to bring her to watch all the games. I'm her younger brother."
"Ne! Gaara!" Temari pouted. "You didn't need to bring me! You offered!"
"Cause you would've bugged me to take you anyways!" Gaara shot back. "Anyways I'm Gaara no Sabaku. Temari's younger brother. Nice to meet you."
"He's pretty cute too. He kinda looks like a panda cause of the the black around his eyes."
"Pleased to meet you Gaara." Sakura smiled, ignoring inner.
"I still say no." Monotone folded his arms around his chest.
"Teme! Get the stick out your ass and give her a shot!" A blue-eyed blond with whiskers on his cheeks yelled at the monotone.
Monotone boy glared back at him. "Hn. Fine."
Kakashi whistled and patted Sakura on the back. "Good job Sakura. You got a chance from our captain. That's not easily done."
"You mean not easily done if you're a girl." Sakura glared at the captain. "What do you want me to do captain?"
The captain glared back. "A four lap race around the track. I wanna see how fast you can run."
"Against who?" Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"The whole team."
"Fine."
"Ne. Sakura." Ino fretted. "Sasuke's the fastest runner in the school. Then Gaara."
"I'll be fine." Sakura smiled.
"But-"
"Ino, I've seen her stats." Temari soothed. "Her times are better than Sasuke's."
"Oh. Okay then. Beat their asses!" Ino cheered. Sakura giggled as she readied herself on the track along with the bunch of other boys there.
"Ready! Get set! Go!" Kakashi yelled out. With that Sasuke and Gaara shot off, not surprising anyone else. But what did surprise people was that Sakura was in the middle of Sasuke and Gaara.
"Holy shit!" Kiba awed. "She can fuckin' run!"
The others just nodded.
"Looks like Teme's got some competition." Naruto laughed.
"Hi there Gaara-kun." Sakura said as she waved to the red head already passing him.
"Hey Sakura." He replied gruffly.
Sakura increased her speed once she got in the second lap. Already catching up with the guys still on their first lap. "Hey you guys!" Sakura greeted.
"Hey Sakura." The loud mouth smiled. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I personally hope you beat Teme's ass!"
Sakura giggled. "I hope so too." With that she sped of catching up to Sasuke, who was in the lead.
"Hello there." Sakura smirked.
She only heard a monotone "shit" come out of his mouth. They were on their third lap and Sasuke and Sakura kept trading spots for first.
Sakura got tired of it and just sprinted on ahead and ran all the way to finish the fourth lap. She wasn't even breathing hard when she got to Kakashi and the girls who greeted her with smirks.
"Your time is 5 minutes and 50 seconds." Kakashi grinned. "That's the best time anyone's got so far."
Tenten's eyes widened. "That means she beat Sasuke's time of 6 minutes and 10 seconds!"
"Yup!" Kakashi beamed.
Hinata handed Sakura water. "You need to keep hydrated."
"Thanks Hinata-chan!" Sakura smiled and took a long drink.
15 seconds later Sasuke came in looking furious. "Well your time's 6 minutes and 5 seconds. That's a personal best Sasuke." Kakashi smiled.
"Hn." Sasuke still glared at Sakura.
"You guys can come in now!" Kakashi yelled to the rest of the team and they proceeded.
"Good job Sakura." Kiba smirked. "You beat Sasuke. That's not an easy feat to do."
"Arigatou!" Sakura beamed.
She turned to the steamed captain and asked. "What now?"
"One on one game with our best player." Sasuke grinned evilly. Everyone had shocked looks and the girls gasped.
"Fine. You're on." Sakura said confidently. "Who's your best?"
Sasuke gaved her a smirk. "Me."
Mwahahahahahahah! I left you with a kinda of a cliffhanger. Wow... This chapter's pretty long... Please review! XD
