Penalty of their Tears

Sakura got up early today since it was her turn to drive. She quickly got ready, since summer vacation was just a month away, their uniform only consisted of a white shirt and a black tie with a black skirt with 5 big folds around it. And Sakura, being the goodie two shoes she is, chose to wear her tie properly. Sakura did her hair like the usual and left the house after taking a bite out of the toast with a lot of jam. Her car was a white four seated Bentley convertible, it looked a little old fashioned but she didn't mind since it was the car her servants bought for her, each one of them sponsoring some money for it.

Ino looked at herself in the mirror, she frowned. She was wearing her neck tie very loosely, compared to the other's Ino's chest is the most... developed. She unbuttoned the two buttons and her skirt was especially short, being the boldest amongst the girls. She looked great. But... Her cheek still looked a little swollen, she held up a fist with a vein popping out. 'I'm gonna beat the snot outta whoever did this to me' and with that she grabbed back and hung it over her shoulders and went downstairs for breakfast, and by breakfast she meant a stick of celery and an apple, she finished the apple on the way to the door and was currently chewing on a celery stick. Cheerleaders gotta watch their diet, know?

After she exited the door, she seemed to have stepped out something. How does she know? Cause it spoke. "Oof"

Ino paused and stepped back, then stepped again. "Ow"

"Do floors talk?" she wondered out alone. "Do you mind?" she heard a voice say. She looked down "Shikamaru?" Her foot still on Shikamaru's chest. His face was red and he was frowning. It took Ino a moment to figure out that he could see, everything. She jumped back and pinned herself against the door. "P-Pervert! You didn't have to stare!" she stammered, turning red herself.

'You're telling that to a guy going through puberty...?' Shikamaru thought and got up, dusting himself. "It was right in face, what'd you expect me to do. Continue sleeping as you walking over me?" Shikamaru said with sarcasm. Ino pouted. Shikamaru turned away. "What are you doing here anyway" said Ino, it just hit her that Shikamaru had spent the night here.

"I fell." he answered simply. "And? You were too lazy to get up and decided to sleep here?" Ino said, crossing her arms. Shikamaru looked over his own shoulder "Yeah" Ino twitched. "There should be a limit to how lazy one can get!" she yelled at him. Shikamaru winced "Can't you at least be quiet in the morning?" he said then stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked off to his house that was just across the street.

Leaving a speechless Ino, her mouth left open and her left eye twitching till a car stopped in front of her house. "That's not very attractive of you. Pig" a familiar voice called out to her. "What did you say to me! Forehead!" Ino shouted. Sakura stuck out her tongue from her car. Hinata and Tenten were already in the car, giggling at Sakura's remark.

Just then a yellow convertible with the license plate RAMEN 17-76 parked over at the mansion across the street, then a voice sounded and probably woke the whole neighbourhood.

"SHIKAMARU! WAKEY WAKEY! GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT OF BED!" Naruto shouted, while still in the car. Sasuke and Neji knocked him senseless after that. Shikamaru stepped out of the house, assuming he had just finished washing up. A vein popped up on his head, as he got in the car, he punched Naruto on the head "Noisy shit" Shikamaru muttered under his breath.

"Ah, he got hit again" said Sakura, the girls watched as chaos erupted in the little yellow car. The car's honk had been set off multiple times thanks to Sasuke constantly bashing Naruto's head against the steering wheel when the poor boy tried to shout again. "N-Naruto-kun..." Hinata said in sympathy for the boy as Sakura drove off. Guys... They just have to fight.

Sakura put the car in reverse and slipped into the parking spot with little problem, and by little problem, meaning she didn't crash anyone's bumper, Sakura wasn't the best driver around as she had to take the test 16 times. The girls grabbed their bags and got out the car. "Oh by the way, Ino. What's with the jaw dropping face in the morning" Sakura asked. Ino immediately flushed red, whether it was of embarrassment or anger remained a mystery. "T-That moron! Who the heck sleeps in someone's front porch? H-He didn't have to stare so i-intently!" Ino just ranting on and on about something that she didn't even explain, they wanted to ask. But Ino was scaring them with her sudden mood defects changing from shy and embarrassed to enraged and murderous.

They made their distance away from her as they walked through the hallways, as did many of the other students. Some guy even tried to ask her out, but changed his mind after she stared at him like he killed her family or something. "I th-think I released something incredible" Sakura whispered. Tenten and Hinata just nodded fiercely. But the one they were really gonna pity was the one sitting next to her, who was coincidentally the guy she wanted to destroy and hide in embarrassment from, at the same time. Shikamaru.

By the time the guys got to school, Neji ended up driving. Cause Sasuke accidentally knocked Naruto out cold. Neji twitched. "Why am I the one driving when you knocked him out" Neji complained, and pointed at Sasuke. Sasuke was resting his head on his palm and looking away from Neji as he put the car in park "I don't know, you just did" said Sasuke. "Tch, whatever. I'm not dragging him to class" Neji said before slamming the door and began to walk towards campus.

Sasuke paused, then look back at Shikamaru. The two stared at each other for a moment before both scrambled to get out of the car, they both practically fell out of the car then looked at each other and decided to pretend that Naruto doesn't exist and walked to class naturally.

When they reached their class, Neji was already there, sitting at his seat which was the middle group and second row and next to a very nervous brunette girl with black eyes and seemed to steal secret glances at Neji every minute. But it wasn't a much of a secret anymore since Neji's expression told everyone that he was about to charge the girl 100 yen per glance. By the end of the day, he would've earned a fortune, they wouldn't be changing seats till next term starts, much to his dismay as he gave his cousin envious looks.

Sakura was seated next to Rock Lee in the front row of the middle group and in front of Neji Shikamaru was seated next to Ino at the last row of the middle group, which was the fourth row. Sasuke and Naruto sat together at the last row of the group near to the windows (Right side to the teachers view) and a row behind Tenten and Hinata who were in the front row of the right group, which was the reason Hinata had the feeling someone was giving her jealous looks throughout the term

Shikamaru walked over to his seat and was immediately blown away by the amazing change of atmosphere, he had never seen someone change the atmosphere that quickly before. He looked over to the girls in front and they shook their heads with much force, either telling him to not approach his neighbour or not to say anything like "You on your monthly?"

Either way he had to sit down eventually and he had to do it before he started ageing. So he sat down, a little uncomfortable at the ever changing atmosphere. A paper ball was thrown at him and it hit him in the face, he looked and glared at the person who threw it at him. Which in this case was Sakura. She motioned him to open it, which he did. In it, it read.

Say something nice to Ino.

P.S. Your life will not be guaranteed if you ask if she's on her monthly

Shikamaru raised a brow and looked at Sakura, who had already turned back. He crunched up the paper ball and stuffed it in his pocket where he would dispose of it later then attempted to start a conversation with Ino.

"I-Ino" he began. Ino looked over at him like a robot. "Shikamaru..." she said darkly. He swallowed, and expected her to throw accusations at him. But he never could've guessed that she would burst into tears and cry about not being able to get married again. She sobbed into her arm on the table and hammered the table with her other hand. Shikamaru, being a guy. Didn't know what to do, especially when everyone's attention was behind the class. He looked around nervously as everyone gave him accusing looks.

He reluctantly put his hand on Ino's blonde head "It's alright" he said, not quite sure why she won't be able to get married. Ino looked up at him all teary eyed, he blushed at how she looked at him till she stood up and grabbed his collar, pulling him along and shook him around. "It's all your fault! and all you can say is 'It's alright'? I am going pummel you deep into the earth's crust" she threatened, not bothering about the stares from the whole class.

Shikamaru was about to give up and just let her pound him into the earth before he got what she meant "You're still mad about this morning?" he said, standing with his own legs now. "Why wouldn't I be?" Ino said, letting go of his collar and placing her hands on her hips. "That was an accident! You should've looked where you were going" Shikamaru said. "Who spent the night in someone's front porch?" Ino retorted.

"Apparently I do, at least I didn't flip your skirt and peek at it! It was there when I woke up"

"You didn't have to stare!"

"What was I suppose to do, I'm a guy!"

The doors of the classroom flew open rather violently, shifting everyone's attention there. And at the entrance showed a very angry looking Naruto. "I am going to kill you guys" he said. They guys immediately stiffened at the sight of their friend whom they abandoned in his own car.

"Geh!"

Naruto took a step forward before one of their classmates called out "Hey Naruto, You're in the newspaper" he called out, waving the school newspaper around. Naruto immediately bolted to the guy's desk, and so did everyone else. In the front page was a picture of Naruto about to fall victim to Guy's slobbery lips with the title printing in big letters 'Romance Between Coach and Vice-Captain?'

"WHAT?"

Naruto erupted.

He nearly left everyone deaf as ripples grew in Principal Sarutobi Hiruzen's tea in the top floor. "Naruto that boy..." he sighed.

"How can they say something like this? More importantly, who took a picture of that!" His blue eyes scanned the room suspiciously. Then they landed on the snickering Sakura. "Sakura-chan! I am going to kill you!" he yelled. Sakura looked at him, hands raised "Wait wait wait! Calm down, Naruto." she took a step back as Naruto took a step closer "It was just a joke. I found it rather funny, think of the bright side... er" Sakura spluttered 100 miles a hour then she frantically tried to find a bright side in the situation.

"Erm..."

Before she took a few more steps back as she thought, then she bumped into Sasuke. Who was glaring at Naruto as if daring him to take a step closer. Sakura instinctively hid behind Sasuke "Sorry! Naruto. But it was just too hilarious!" Sakura said, using Sasuke as a shield. Sasuke could feel Sakura taking him by the shoulders, and a faint tingle reached his cheeks. He had hoped so badly that it wasn't a blush.

But now Naruto wasn't angry at Sakura anymore, he was more fixed on killing the raven head before him. "Teme! You dare show your face in front of me after what you did to me!" Naruto tackled Sasuke to the ground, The two fought in a ball of smoke. The class was in total chaos, there was no teacher, the atmosphere was constantly changing. There were two boys wrestling around the classroom and the whole class was either cheering on Naruto and Sasuke or laughing at the school paper.

Sakura knew she couldn't stop the class even if she tried now, she sighed and walked over to Tenten and Hinata who were just chatting, despite the noise. "Ah... the classroom's in total chaos" Sakura flopped herself on their table like a dead person. "S-Sakura-chan..!" Hinata stuttered alarmingly. "Oh, and sorry about giving the school papers Naruto's photo, Hinata" said Sakura, one eye peeking up at Hinata.

Hinata flushed "W-What a-are you t-taking about..." Hinata looked down and played with her fingers, turning all shades of red. Sakura smirked and continued to die on the table. "Say... Aren't you class rep" Tenten began. "Yeah" Sakura said, her voice muffled in her arm. "Don't they blame you when the class goes out of control when the teacher's absent"

Sakura's head shot up. "Oh shit" she scrambled off the table and tripped herself to the teacher's desk in the middle of the front of the classroom. she opened her mouth to try to say something that would magically shut the class up. Of course, if that word actually exists it'd make every teacher's life easy. Sakura was starting to lose it, she wasn't very keen on noise and she didn't really like being the class rep either.

There was a loud bang, and everyone turned to the front of the class, Sakura lifted her sore hands off the table. "Please..." she panted "Be quiet" Just then the door slid open and Kakashi waltz in after he just missed after the period of homeroom. "Ah, good job. Sakura. The class seems to be under control. "Kakashi-sensei! You could've at least tried to come a little earlier!" Sakura yelled at him.

"Oh, I walked under a ladder and had to-" Sakura cut the silver haired man off "Right, I don't wanna hear it. Do you wanna do the announcement or I do" she said in an almost tired voice. "Don't worry, I'll do it. You can take your seat. And Naruto, Sasuke. Get off each other" He said without looking at the two boys, tugging at each other's cheeks on the floor.

"On the kounth off free" Naruto said with his cheeks stretched out. Sasuke nodded "Wan , too, free!" Both hands released each other and Sasuke got off Naruto, both rubbed their sore cheeks while glaring at each other.

Everyone went back to their seats. Ino and Shikamaru were refusing to communicate with each other. Kakashi went through the announcements, the class was silent till-

"Naruto, did you kiss him back?"

The class roared with laughter, it was apparently the talk of the faculty staff too. Naruto attempted to tackle his teacher down. Only to have Kakashi run out the door before he managed to do anything. The dismissal bell rung and all the students got up from their seats and exited the class for tea break. Ino was still in a foul mood when she left, but at least she wasn't constantly transforming.

At the girl's table...

Sakura bit into her apple "So Ino, feel like telling us what happened this morning now? Without getting carried away" said Sakura. "I'm curious too" said Tenten, peeling her tangerine. Hinata brought cookies and put them in the middle of the small round table. Ino's crushed the biscuit in her hand. "The jerk..."

"Poor biscuit" said Tenten "Calm down, Ino. Or we won't be able to hear the story, again" said Sakura. Ino took a deep breath and began her story.

The guy's table...

Everyone that passed their table to point and laugh at Naruto before continuing on. Naruto laid lifelessly on the table. "Wow, it's the first time Naruto's ever been this quiet" said Neji. "That's good, we should make Guy try to kiss him more often" said Sasuke. "My life... it's ruined... before I go, tell Hinata I-" Naruto suddenly shot up. His head bashing into some guy who wanted an autograph from him's face. Naruto didn't seem to notice the guy on the floor behind him with a bloody nose.

"By the way, Shikamaru. What were you arguing with Ino about" Naruto asked suddenly, seemingly forgotten about his own status. "I knew him shutting up was too good to be true" Neji muttered. "At least you're not the one being interrogated" said Shikamaru.

"So so? What happened? You made her cry, didn't you" said Naruto. Shikamaru's eyes shot open. "I did not!" he snapped, but he calmed down immediately. "Making Yamanaka Ino cry isn't like you, Shikamaru" said Neji. "He probably peeked at her underwear or something and wouldn't stop staring" said Sasuke.

Shikamaru shot him a look "Oh, I got it right" Sasuke said, ignoring Shikamaru's piercing glare. Shikamaru sighed "Do you think she'll hate me forever...?" he said, resting his head on his palm. "How did you peek?" said Naruto, as if he was trying to learn some kind of new technique.

"I didn't peek, it was more like she flashed it before my eyes" said Shikamaru. Everyone perked up and looked at him. "Flashed it before your eyes...?" their voices trailed off and they all started fantasizing about Ino lifting up her skirt and flashing Shikamaru.

Shikamaru knocked all three of their heads. "It's not like that! She just stepped on me when I was sleeping in her front porch" he said. All three of them stroke their heads "What's your problem, just because Ino probably won't talk to you ever again doesn't mean you have to hit us" said Naruto. At the sound of that, Shikamaru's aura fell, a dark sulking aura now lingers around him.

"Look what you did" said Neji. "Hey it wasn't my fault he didn't take it like a man!" said Naruto, raising his hands. "And did you have to sleep in her front porch?" said Sasuke. "I was sleepy, and I didn't feel like walking back to my house" said Shikamaru. "Your house, you mean like the one across the street?" Naruto asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah..."

They all sighed, this guy could not get any lazier. "Well, be thankful she didn't cry cause someone else peaked at her underwear. That would be messy" said Neji. Naruto laughed "Remember the last time they all cried?" Shikamaru looked down. "The last time they cried... huh"

Flashback

6 years ago. Sakura and the others were chosen by their homeroom teacher to decorate the classroom for the school festival.

They were all excited, it was their first time being chosen to do something this big. They were going to surprise everyone by doing a incredible job. By the end of the day, they were all tired and they had just finished hanging up the poster that they all helped in colouring. The classroom was covered in ribbons and the desks were all arranged neatly, the windows were covered colourful decoration. Now all that's left was to brighten up the room with Ino's flowers.

They left the classroom in excited giggles, they even refused to tell the boys what the classroom looked like on the ride home. "It's a secret" said Sakura, winking. Sasuke choked a little and earned himself a laugh from the other three boys. "I can't wait to see the looks on everyone's faces" said Tenten. "We'll be sure to win the class decor, ne? Hinata" said Ino. "Y-Yeah" Hinata answered.

"Alright alright, we get it." said Shikamaru, "We won't ask anymore" said Neji.

But nothing would've prepared them for what happened next.

Ino dropped her bouquet of multicoloured orchids. "H-How could this happen...?" Ino said, like the breath was just knocked out of her. "I don't believe this" said Tenten."W-Who would d-do such a thing" said Hinata, very close to tears.

The classroom looked like a tornado had struck the place, the ribbons were ripped off, the window decorations were either ripped off or had colours splatters all over it. The desks were pushed around messily, some were even overturned. The poster, was ripped off from the blackboard and torn into pieces scattered across the classroom, on the blackboard read 'Special class losers' 'You suck' 'hypocrite!'

The guys were on their way to the classroom to take a sneak peek at how the girls were doing. "Oi Sasuke, I thought Sakura-chan said it was a secret till tomorrow" said Naruto. "Finally letting curiosity take over?" said Neji. "This is a pain, I don't wanna get yelled at" said Shikamaru. "Shut up, if you're so scared of them then why are you following me" snapped Sasuke, looking back at his friends that were trailing behind him.

"Oh you know-"

"We were just- erm"

"If it's just a little-"

Sasuke sighed and shook his head, continuing to walk to their classroom. When they saw that there were people crowding outside the room that was supposedly their classroom. They immediately knew something was wrong. Everyone saw them coming and opened up a way. There were whispers as they walked.

"This is going to get messy"

"They're childhood friends after all"

"We should get away from here"

The crowd led them to a bunch of girls, crying and sobbing silently together, but they weren't just any bunch of girls. They were their bunch of girls. And they were crying.

Tenten was first to notice their presence, when she turned around Neji felt like something had just stabbed him through the gut. She was even trying to hide her tears, but failed rather miserably. "N-Neji... We've b-been..." she hiccupped and rubbed her teary eyes. The others turned toward them, Ino was hugging Hinata who was sobbing heavily into her shoulder. "S-Shikamaru...!" she perked up, wiping away her tears. "Looks like -hic- we failed to..." Ino's eyes started to water again. "surprise you..." Ino finished softly, then she bit her lip.

Shikamaru didn't know what to feel, angry that someone actually made Ino cry, or attracted to Ino's tear filled blue eyes. Hinata looked up from Ino's shoulder. "Surprise... Naruto-kun..." Hinata smiled painfully. "Hinata..."

But there was someone missing, someone that Sasuke was trying to look for. The crowd of kids surrounding the girls stepped aside, revealing a pink haired girl, holding a piece of the poster, with her head hung low. "Sakura...!" "S-Sakura-chan..."

The girls looked a little worried about their friend, afterall, she was the one that worked the hardest to plan everything out, a week worth of work was thrown away just like that. She began walking towards the guys, still refusing to lift her head. She walked up to the raven head boy, and stumbled the last step to him. She leaned her forehead on his shoulder and gripped on his shirt. Sasuke felt his face heat up.

Sakura's body started trembling and her shoulders went up and down from the sobbing. Then he heard a very faint sound, it was hard to hear but he was sure that it was a sob coming from Sakura. "Sasuke..."

Sasuke didn't answer. Sakura buried her face in the side of his neck, he could feel the wetness of her tears seeping through his collar. "I'm-hic- sorry...Looks like this wasn't a.. very good surprise" she whispered. He looked down with a hooded gaze, he put his hands around her. It was the last word that set him off.

"Help..."

Sasuke's eyes shot open, there was a scowl on his face. He put his hand on Sakura's shoulder and knelt down with her, setting her to the floor. Sakura's tears fell on the floor. Sasuke left her there and stood. A girl took a step from the crowd. "I-I saw the boys from 5-A walk out of the classroom this morning when I arrived" she said, nervously.

Sasuke just left the class with the others without another word. "You know what we're gonna do" said Sasuke. "Yeah..."

The older kids were laughing at their so called 'little' prank when suddenly the door slide open so hard it sounded like a car crash. There stood 4 very angry kids. "Who" Shikamaru started "played that" Neji continued "Damn prank" Naruto continued, getting louder "On them" Sasuke finished it with deadly tone.

The boys from the class stood up "Look who's here, the little dweebs from the class we wrecked" one of them laughed. One of them walked over to the younger kids, "What do you want" he said rather rudely. And the next thing he knew, he was being tackled to the ground. Their classroom became a battlefield, except the older kids were actually losing the war. Sasuke and the others wouldn't stop pounding the shit out of every guy they see till the teachers came and stopped the fight.

The four was set to the principal office with bruised cheeks, ruffled hair, messy clothes and a unsatisfied expressions.
