AN: Here is Chapter Three! I'm SO sorry it's so short, but the next one WILL be longer (I hope).


Ino couldn't help but stare in fascinated horror at the guy wearing orange legwarmers and green spandex. Spandex!

"Hello, youth of Konoha!" he boomed, accompanied by a large sweep of his hand. Sakura whispered, "That's Gai-sensei, the gym teacher."

Ino's eyes widened. Surely this… Person couldn't be a teacher. He must be on some type of drug. I mean, really. What kind of person wore orange legwarmers and green spandex? Ino shuddered. Sakura laughed and said that most teachers at Konoha High were weird.


Ino got ready for Gym quickly and walked out into the hall. Once everyone was ready Gai-sensei (Or the Green Spandex Monster, as Ino had taken to calling him) explained what they would be doing. "I want to see how well you all fight, so I'll put you into pairs," everyone grumbled and Ino slightly panicked, she didn't want to be paired with someone she didn't know, "and you'll spar. Absolutely no weapons," he looked at Tenten, "and I don't want you to go overboard." Gai looked at Sasuke and a boy with long brown hair and eyes like Hinata's. He struck a pose and grinned manically. Everyone in the class took a step back and he clapped his hands.

"Here is who you'll be paired up with; Sasuke and Sakura." Sakura jumped and Sasuke grunted, but you could see he was pleased.

"Neji and Tenten." The boy with Hinata's eyes started to walk over and Tenten muttered a small "Yes!".

"Naruto and Kin." Naruto's hopes that he would be paired with Ino were dashed. He cried out "What?!" and went into a huff, but stomped over to Kin nonetheless. Gai-sensei went through a couple more names until he came to "Kiba and Ino." A boy with messy brown hair and red markings on his face jumped up and shouted "Yes!". Everybody swivelled around to face him and he smile sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. Ino began to walk over to him, she guessed this was Kiba.


Kiba saw her coming over and grinned. Yeah! He had the new hottie as his Gym partner! Kiba ran a hand through his hair, thus making at messier, but he didn't care.


Ino saw him "fixing" his hair and smiled. She was use to the attention of boys. In her old school, plenty of guys had asked her out, and she'd broken many hearts. Ino only went out with really good looking guys, usually, and had always been the dumper, but if this Kiba guy was nice, maybe she'd give him a chance. He was kind of cute. She walked up to him and said "Hi."

"Hey gorgeous."

Ino rolled her eyes. How cheesy.

"Y'know, I don't really want to hurt a beautiful girl like you."

Ino laughed. "Well, I'm not bothered about hurting a cute boy like you." She swung a punch at Kiba but he jumped back and laughed. "Feisty and funny and gorgeous, what more could a guy want?"

Ino laughed again. Kiba was funny.

"Oi! Much as the Youth of Konoha should have fun and enjoy their Springtime of Youth, please, not while I'm speaking!" He grinned again and put his thumbs up.

"Well, that's everyone. Now, I want you to be careful. No serious damage, alright? Now, start!"


Ino and Kiba looked at each other and then Ino kicked him and he staggered a little. Gai-sensei was standing watching them and praised her for catching Kiba off guard. Then he walked off and the fought a little more. Ino was good, but Kiba defeated her. She had learned a little at her old school, but too many girls had complained, so it had been dropped.


Gai called them all to stop. He said that he had seen what level they were all at and would put them into suitable groups next time. Ino went and got changed into her normal clothes and waited for Sakura and Tenten to get ready. She asked Tenten, "You've got a crush on that Neji guy, haven't you?"

Tenten looked incredulous and said, "Of course not!" but there was a slight blush on her cheeks. Ino smiled and let the subject drop. The other girls finished getting ready and picked up their bags. All three walked out and waited for the next bell to ring for break. Ino hoped that she would see Temari next.


AN: Chapter Four will be up very soon! And so will my new story 'Precious' (No, I'm not shamelessly advertising it). I hope hope HOPE that I can make Chapter Four longer. I know how annoying short chapters can be. But you can deal, right? 'Specially as I get them up quite quickly!

Please, review!
