Of Crossdressers and Gangs

Quietly, without being noticed or heard, he'd draw out, from within the infinite confines of his bag, a sleek, stainless steel knife. Slowly, and unknown, he'd get behind Neji. Quick as lightning the neck of that attention whore would be sliced open, ending his life in a painful, bloody mass. Sasuke'd even make sure to get blood into his all-too-soft-and-smooth-girly-long-and-flowing hair. Yes, he was an evil little guy, but Neji had to pay.

Then, he thought of something. Why stainless steel? Simple, because it looked good. No other reason. It was to show his superiority! Yes, a fancy knife for his death, because he had it made like that. Well, he would if he could remember the combination to the safe in his old house (that was now haunted according to the town).

Finally, Naruto released her Hyuuga captive. She was smiling and giggling all the way to History I. It was held in one of the new classrooms that were in the Main Hall instead of a wraparound, much like their homeroom. They walked into Room A-111. They took their usual seats, Neji switching with Naruto, as it was custom for her to be next to Sasuke, not the girly-man. Now the blonde was up front and Neji was beside Lee. And, after looking around due to habit, he saw Gaara in the back, still unhappy. He silently wondered, as his eyes continued to travel until they were fixed upon the board, why she was so crabby. She was a new student, usually they acted friendly and shied away from fights and confrontation, but this girl seemed to seek them out. She didn't have any trouble backing up the few words she spoke though. The Uchiha's guess for her attitude was a severe superiority complex, one far worse than the one he knew he had.

He continued musing until a sharp jab from Naruto snapped him out of it. "Hello! Earth to Sasuke! Are you in there Teme?" her cute little face popped into his line of vision, far too close for comfort. He gasped and nearly fell out of his seat.

"Dammit, Dobe!" He growled, using his pet name for her. "Don't get so close," he glared at the blonde, who had just realized what she'd been called by her boyfriend. She huffed and stared at him, eyes ablaze.

It looked like she was going to yell at him when a huge book was slammed onto the desk. Peering up, already knowing what they'd see, he looked up into the face of their History teacher, from seventh grade. His spiked hair and full beard same as always. The composed boy felt his jaw drop at the sight of an old teacher. Shikamaru and Chouji called his name happily, Asuma being their favorite teacher. He waved back at the two happily before facing his two bickering students. The room erupted in whispers and gasps. After they'd all passed seventh grade the teacher had disappeared. Everyone thought he'd moved away.

"Looks like you two are still at each other's throats," his knowing smile made Sasuke a little uneasy. The statement, however, outweighed any nerves he might have had. Asuma always knew people's business, stuff he wasn't supposed to know. He was friends with all the right people. Given, he was out of the picture for a year, but you would think someone like him would have heard about his two trouble students, ones that hated each other, dating.

"Yeah," Naruto beat him to the punch, again. "Teme's an ass, but I love him!" A huge fox grin made it's way to her face at Asuma's shocked expression. So he hadn't known? Ha ha!

--

Lee smiled at Neji. They'd been betting on whether or not Asuma would know about the couple. Lee'd just won. The Hyuuga glared first at the oblivious teacher, then at Lee. He just shrugged and held out his hand for the ten dollars. Neji hated him now, no doubt. Oh well, that was life. Lee wondered why Neji had such faith in Asuma's ability to know things. He clenched the bill in his hand as he pondered what could make such a stubborn, logical person believe someone could know everything about everyone. Maybe he'd found out something the brown-haired boy wished he hadn't. Could there be something about Neji he didn't know? He had a hard time trying to think of something he didn't know about his best friend. After a few minutes his head started to hurt, so he filed it under the 'well-I-don't-really-care-but-dammit-I-still-want-to-know' file. He'd have to shorten that name sometime.

The teacher had left Naruto and Sasuke be and had begun speaking to the class. He did everything the other teachers did. After he called roll he handed out textbooks and supply lists. The book was almost as heavy as their English book. He'd have to go to his locker before next period. By the sound of it, no one was happy about the fat that they had another heavy book to tote around. There were groans and complaints throughout the room. Asuma told them to quiet down, suck it up, and move on. The class, in its entirety, glared daggers at the man.

Finally, they were free to talk amongst each other until the bell. Lee pulled out his schedule, which he still hadn't memorized, and looked up his next class. Fifth period – Lunch. Sweet merciful Gods! He'd stop by his locker then have himself a nice lunch with his dear friends.

By the sound of things the others had pulled out their class lists too. "Anybody know how big the lunch room is?" Naruto peered around at the group.

"No, but we're going to sit near the lunch line for sure!" Chouji nodded in agreement with Kiba. Lee smiled and rolled his eyes at the two gluttons. It was the same last year and the year before. It was all fine by Lee, he liked being able to hop from line to his seat, and sometimes back again. As the others talked about what was for lunch and the layout of the Cafeteria Lee let his eyes wander about the room.

He leaned back in his seat as he read the board. It had Asuma's name, the date, and the school schedule. Today was a half-day; every class was twenty-eight minutes long. Normally they had forty-five minute classes, five minutes in between. His eyes drifted further to the right. He spotted the giggly group of girls. Lee only knew two of them; his old friend Tenten, who used to sit on the bus with him, and Sakura, a girl he used to have a big crush on. If he was to be perfectly honest with himself he still liked her a little bit.

After looking both girls over for no reason in particular he allowed his eyes and head to continue to turn right. He saw the Sound Five in all its badass glory. The gang consisted of Kimimaro, the sophomore leader; Jirobu, a fat and very tall guy; Kidomaru, a strange kid with a spider fetish; Tayuya, a foul mouth tomboy; and Sakon, the girly looking twin. The other twin, Ukon, had died before the end of last year. Sakon had disappeared for a week, not even telling his gang of his whereabouts. Everyone thought he'd died with his twin brother in the crash. Fact was he had taken that time to mourn. Looking at him now you'd never know he had a brother.

Three seconds of looking at their miserable glare, Lee followed their eyes subconsciously. He found himself looking at a head full of impossibly red hair. Gaara's mint green eyes were fixed on the bright and sunny outside. Her eyes followed a bird flying on way then a butterfly going the other way. Even daydreaming she looked sour. Lee found himself running different scenarios through his mind for why she was like this. Not even the death of a life-long pet squirrel just that morning.

He continued to try and read into her glower. While following the track of a small robin her cold, green eyes met with his wide, dark ones. Just as it happened the bell rang and Lee jumped up, a light blush on his face.

'I really hope she didn't see that.'

--

He was staring at him. That freaky looking guy was staring at him.

Gaara stalked through the halls, on his way to lunch. He ran reasons through his mind for why Rock Lee could have been looking at him so intensely. During his trek through the hall he stopped at his locker. He sloppily tossed his two books on the top shelf and dropped his notebook-ridden bag to the bottom. He slammed the metal door shut and made his way to the Cafeteria, still trying to figure out why Rock Lee had been staring at him.

Gaara walked into the Lunch Room. He took a quick look around and spotted an open table. He sat down in one seat and tossed his hoodie over the chair next to him. He rested his head on his arms, which were folded and lying on the table. His cool, green eyes scanned the large room. Already, kids were in line for food, mainly upperclassmen that knew how things worked. People dashed around, securing tables, chairs, and locating their friends. Groups of students gathered near the entrance, and as soon as all members were present they'd go to find a table, either hoping there'd be and empty one or meeting friends whom had been saving seats.

People came by Gaara's table, wanting to sit. His harsh, threatening glare was all he needed to make them move along.

After ten minutes the line was starting to shorten. He gazed at the line, weighing his options. If he got up it was very likely that one of the peole sitting at the over crowded tables on either side of him would take his seat, but if he stayed here he wouldn't be able to get lunch. Before a minute was up he decided he wasn't hungry anyway. So, instead of getting in line, he opted for zoning out the window until the bell rang.

--

"Please! Come on, don't make me do this by myself!" Naruto's baby blue eyes wee mere centimeters from his face. She was standing and attempting to pull him up with her.

Sasuke pushed her away with the arm that wasn't being held hostage by both of hers. He glared at the blonde. Why couldn't he she have gone up with Chouji and the others?

She was back in her seat but still in possession of his arm. "Teme! Aren't you hungry?" He shook his head and tried to rip his arm out of the iron vice grip of his girlfriend. For a moment he contemplated gnawing it off.

When he dubbed that course of action out of the question he dove his hand into his book bag. He rummaged around until he pulled out a small paper bag. As he expected, the little fox-girl's eyes lit up and she released his limb. She snatched the bag from him and pulled the top open. In went her hand and out it came with a thermo-cup. Sasuke saw a confused look on Lee's face, who had just returned from the lunch line.

The blonde paid no mind. Her hand jumped back into the bag and pulled out some chopsticks. Quickly she unscrewed the lid and broke apart the chopsticks. Tilting the thermos towards herself she began slurping mass amounts of ramen noodles into her endless hole of a mouth.

He was such a good person. Naruto was addicted to ramen. And he meant that quite literally. He remembered when they hadn't bought ramen for a week. The poor girl had stopped eating and had been going through light withdrawal symptoms. Sasuke, upon realizing what the problem was, ran out and purchased several boxes of instant ramen packets. Now, they always had ramen in the apartment.

By the time everyone was back at the table she had drained the cup of every last noodle and drop of broth. She was now nuzzled up along side Sasuke, purring with contentment.

It was two minutes until the bell was due to ring when Naruto gazed up at her boyfriend. She looked him up and down, with a look something a kin to a predator sizing up its next meal. Then, after the glint of a final decision being reached, she pounced with all the grace and skill of a bull elephant.

"I LOVE you!" she proceeded to squeeze the life out of his body. Then, as the bell sounded she popped up and flung her arms around his neck. She physically paused while her mouth ran quickly through many forms of thank you (some of which Sasuke wasn't even sure were English). But Sasuke knew what was coming next.

"Naruto," he stopped her blabbering, "we're going to be late." She grinned, wide as a Cheshire cat. Next, he found his mouth being assaulted by hers. Instantly giving up any fight that would occur, he returned her affections with a quick, dry kiss and they moved on. A crowd of Oooh's and fake kissing noises, courtesy of their friends, stalked them through the halls. Just outside the door Naruto spun around and told them to shut up and just where to shove all their ha ha's.

Ring!
