Danni type ferociously on her laptop as Oichi watched. This had been going on since five this morning and it was almost seven thirty. If her fingers where on the battlefield in the middle of the war…it would be a one side massacre to the other side. "Mom…are you okay?" Danni looked up with fire in her eyes. "No sweet heart I am not alright. The military wants to send me away for a few months and I cannot for the life of me find a baby sitter for you." Oichi nearly sweat drop. "Mom! I don't need a babysitter! I'm like sixteen years old!" Oichi shouts. Danni thumps her on her forehead leaving a red mark. "Number one. Don't yell at me like that. I am your mother. Number two. I don't care how old you are I am not leaving my baby here to fend by herself while perverts walk the street!" Oichi rubbed her forehead. "Isn't this why you enrolled me into Karate classes? To defend myself from people like that?" Danni frowned. Oichi groaned. "So Protective as always…Oh! Why don't Jess and Gaara come over and look after me if you're so serious about this?" Danni stopped typing. "Hmm…well that does help a lot. I do know both of their parents. Gaara doesn't look like the type to do anything without motive and with Jess here you can get up on time for school." Oichi pouted. "Hey I got up this morning didn't I!" Danni ignored her and happily got up. "It's settled I'll talk to Jess and Gaara's parents. Now shoo before you be late to school."

After being kicked out of the house Oichi walked slowly to school by herself. Jess and Gaara had went to their school's library early that morning for their class project. Oichi took out a book. It was only the second day of school and she could already feel like everything was going wrong. The injury from gym class, the stolen kiss, the altercation between Jess and Kid. It was just too much for a first day. The second day could only follow to be much worse. "Ha…If Jess was here she and Gaara would pet me on the head and give me some positivity. Like I was some little kid." "You mean like this?" She felt someone pat her on the head. "Yeah…just like that." Oichi then stops. "What a moment…" She looked up and her eyes widen in surprise. Ace was looking down at her with a big grin. "I could get use to patting your head like this you know." Oichi jumped back in shock. "Ace! What are you doing here!?" Ace laughed. "What a cute reaction. I only live a few blocks down from the school. I usually walk earlier then this but I overslept."

Oichi and Ace ended up walked to school together. The air was kind of tense in Oichi's opinion and yet Ace was smiling like a goof and going on about how his brothers. When he laughed it was kind of cute. Oichi blushed a bit and opened her book. "So what are you reading?" Ace asks. "Oh…you wouldn't like it. Most people never do." Ace looks closely at the book. There were two guys on the cover. They were back to back. One of them was smiling with a blushing looking while the other was frowning with a cigarette in his mouth. "It looks weird. What's it about?" "Well…this is a BL book." "BL?" "Yes, Boy Love or Yaoi." "Is it any good?" Oichi nodded. "Yes in a way. Like I said it's not for everyone. The storylines can be a little played out but it isn't hard to see how much the character's care about each other and the love scenes can be pretty intense." Ace grabbed the book out her hand. "Hey! What are you doing!? Please give that back!" Ace laughed and started to flip through the book but his smile quickly disappeared. "Hey these two guys are kissing!" He flipped through the pages and his eyes widen. "What is this crap?" Oichi snatched the book from his hand. "I guess you think I'm some kind of sicko weirdo now…" she says. Ace rubs the back of his head. "I guess…" Oichi bit her lip then took off towards the school. "Hey wait!" Ace yells out. "…I didn't even finish…" He looks down to see a lunch box with a batman symbol on the ground.

Jess was in the library looking through the window. She couldn't walk with Oichi this morning because she need to get some books on her project. Gaara had agreed to come with her but he had to attend some kind of class student meeting. So now Jess was left alone in the library waiting for the morning bell to ring. While waiting she saw Oichi running into the school building. 'Was she late? I'll give her a good nagging when I see her at lunch.' Jess sighed and turned her attention back to the book she was browsing through. "Kakashi said we could dress up. I wonder if Oichi will give me a hand. I'd have to ask her later if she isn't busy." "I thought I would find you up here." Jess frowns and looks over to Sasuke walking towards her. "Sasuke what do you want? I am busy here." "We are partners in this after all. It's only natural I come." "Look I don't have time for your childish games this morning. I just had to get some information from the library before it closes." "Oh yeah, they are doing some expansions today. Must be because of the new students here. You know we could always go to the public library." "I can't. Not today. I have to take care of something after school." Jess says flipping another page. Sasuke reached out and touched her hand. "I was really hope for some alone time." He says in a low voice. Jess blushed and pulled her hand back. She then closed her books and packed her things. If she stayed here things may turn out like they did the last time. "Jess where are you going!?" "To class. I told you before Sasuke I'm not doing this while you still have a girlfriend." Jess quickly left hoping that the bell will soon ring for class to start.

Thankfully her wish was granted and the bell ranged for class to start. She found her seat at the back of the class near the window. 'I wish he would leave me alone.' She says to herself. Gaara soon walked in looking a bit frustrated himself. He took his seat next to Jess. "What's wrong with you?" "Well today in a class meeting the students are having a hard time decideding if they want to do a play with Grand Line Academy." Jess raised her eyebrow. "What's wrong with that? It's just a play right?" Gaara shook his head. "No, it's much more than that. This is a yearly thing and every time Grand Line joins in they always mess things up. From what I hear." The class started to fill up. "It's like a school requirement thing in order to help both schools understand each other. It seems like our school and theirs had a rough time when they got together." Naruto sat down. "I don't see why we have to do anything with those Grand Line jerks! They are always picking a fight!" Shikamaru yawns. "Well if you stop eating into their hands every single time then we wouldn't have a problem." Kiba snorts. "It's not even that and you know it. Every time we try to do something they always end up making it worse. I heard last year when they tried to "help" the school with the annual cook off they nearly burnt down the whole school! My sister was pissed because her stuff got destroyed in the fire."

Jess listen to all the stories about Grand Line. "Grand Line Academy is nothing but a place for people who don't have the smarts to get into a high ranking school." Sakura says snickering. Jess narrowed her eyes. She was getting sick of this girl and she barely knew her. She was about to stand up and say something but Gaara beat her to the punch. He narrowed his eyes as well. "Well then this place is unfit for someone with a mindset like yours." Sakura looks back at him. "Grand Line Academy may be a place for the most athletic people but they have something you will never have and that's talent." The class room started to snicker and laugh as Sakura's face turned bright red. Jess sighs. "You know my best friend attends Grand Line Academy." Jess glances at her class, more so, at Sakura to see how she would react. Naruto looks at her. "Your friend? You mean the cute girl who walked home with you and Gaara yesterday?" Jess nodded. "I may not know much about this school and Grand Line Academy but I won't sit her and listen to these pathetic rumors that none of you can actually prove." The class went silent for a second until Sasuke came in. Sakura quickly ran to him and cried into his chest. "What the…" "Oh Sasuke it was terrible! Gaara and that new girl was picking on me!" She cried. Sasuke glanced up at Gaara and Jess. He sighed and rubbed his head. Jess huffed. "Really? Is she fucken serious? Gaara were we even teasing her? Please tell me I just hallucinated…" Gaara shook his head. "We were only putting her in her place. People who act high and mighty but don't have the grades or ability to back it up sickens me that's all."

Kakashi walked in behind Sasuke. "hm. What are you kids still doing out of your seats. The bell rung moments ago. Sakura why are you crying?" She turned to Jess and Gaara and smirked. She then looked backed at Kakashi. "It's because…" Sasuke covered her mouth. "She tripped and hurt her knee. I was about to take her to the nurse's." He picked her up bridal style. Sakura blushed and hugged around his neck and stuck her tongue out at Jess. Jess rolled her eyes. Gaara crossed his arms and quickly thought of a way to get into Sasuke's head. He smirked and turned to Jess. "So Jess are you doing anything tonight?" Jess looked over at him. "Nope, I don't have anything planned. Why?" Gaara got close to her and placed an arm around her shoulder. "I would like to take you out for dinner." Sasuke started to twitch. "Sasuke?" Sakura asks. Jess raise her eyebrows at him before sighing. She ended up playing along by smiling sweetly. "Sure!" She giggled and snuggled up to him. "Why don't you walk me home? You do still have clothes left over." Sasuke tighten his grip around Sakura's leg. "Ow…Sasuke your hurting me." Sasuke grits his teeth and glared back at Gaara before taking his leave. Naruto looked up at the two with sparkles in his eyes. "Are you two dating!?" Jess backed off Gaara. "Don't know a prank when you see one eh Naruto?" Kiba asked as the class busted into laughter. "Man Gaara. I must say never thought you were on to tell jokes!" TenTen says. Kakashi sighs and shakes his head. 'These kids will be the end of me yet…'

Lunch time rolled around and Jess walked up to the cherry blossom tree. She got a text from Oichi saying that she may or may not make it due to her sighing up for clubs. She didn't mind sitting by herself but she really wanted to ask Oichi if she heard any weird rumors about Hidden Leaf High. The rumors bother her because she knew how sensitive Oichi could be when people try to pressure her into things. If Grand Line Academy was so bad like people say it was then Oichi may be used in the worse ways.

Oichi walked down the hall quickly to the cherry blossom tree to meet Jess. She had a bandage on her cheek from where Luffy had accidently hit her with his school book. She didn't care about that though. She was still upset at Ace from this morning. He seemed like a really nice guy but he was just like all the others. He must be spreading the word about how she is a freak who reads porn for entertainment. Oichi bit her lip. She would be an outcast just like at her other school. She wouldn't have any friends but Jess. Walking down the hall with her head down she failed to see someone walking towards her. She ran into them hard and fell back. A hand reached out and grabbed her. It pulled her closed and tighten the grip around her. Oichi looked up to see Kid looking down at her. "Hey. You need to watch were you are going." He says smirking. Oichi eyes watered up. If things couldn't get any worse she had to run into this jerk who took her first kiss! Kid eyes widen as a tear ran down her cheek. "Why are you crying?" Oichi didn't answer. Like she would. Kid frowned and his eyes followed her up to the bandage. "What happened here? Did someone hit you?" Oichi looked down to the ground. For some strange reason Kid felt anger rise up inside him. He didn't know why but looking at Oichi's crying face and the bandage on her cheek pissed him off.

"Who hit you!?" He yelled and pushed her against the lockers. Oichi was a bit shocked at his outburst. "Tell me who hit you. I'll beat them down to hell!" Oichi didn't have the nerve to answer him. Why was he so mad? That was when someone grabbed Kid and tossed him back into another set of lockers. Oichi slid down to the floor. The person standing in front of her was Ace. He had an angry look in his eyes. "What do you think you're doing to Oichi!?" Kid growled. "Ace…should have known. I wasn't doing anything to her. I just wanted to know who hit her so that I can go kick their asses." He looked down at the scared Oichi. He gritted his teeth before walking away. Ace sighed and bent down. "You okay?" Oichi nodded slowly. Ace smiled and pats her on the head. "No need to be scared anymore." He holds out her lunch. "Kid may look like a bully but he's really nice once you get to know him." "How did you get my lunch box?" Ace chuckled. "You dropped it this morning. I wanted to give it back and finish what I was saying before you ran off. I was going to say I guess…if you want to consider yourself that. I don't really care what you read. I just want to get to know you better." Oichi took her lunch. "So you…wont spread rumors about me liking that kind of stuff?" Ace cocked his head to the side. "Why would I do that. Lots of people have weird hobbies. Like me. I like to sleep with a pot roast under my bed. It helps me think of food when I sleep." Oichi giggles. Ace smiled. "I'm glad you finally smiled. You are much cuter when you smile." He bends down and kisses Oichi on the forehead. He backs up and blushes a bit. "Another habit of mine." He gets up. "I got basketball practice so I'll see you later!" He leaves Oichi looking flustered in the hallway.

Lunch period was just about over when Oichi made it to Jess. Of course Jess questioned about her cheek and asked why her clothes looked like they had been pulled on. Oichi told Jess about what happened in the hallway. Jess was pissed but she calmed down at the mention of Ace and how he protected her. Jess laughed. "I was so right!" "Right about what?" "This Ace guy. You're in to him aren't you?" Oichi blushed. "Shut up Jess…I am not. He's to open for me and he keeps calling the things I do cute. It's annoying!" Jess laughed some more. "So he is into you?" Oichi pouted. "Jess stop picking on me!" Jess ruffled her hair. "Oh, listen. Did you hear any rumors around the school?" "Rumors? About what?" "Anything. Like if Grand Line Likes Hidden leaf or not." Oichi pondered a bit. She didn't remember anyone saying anything bad about Hidden Leaf. "I've only heard things like I bet they eat really good over at the smart school. Then again that's coming from Luffy and he is always talking about food." The bell soon rang. "Oh well. Maybe it's because we are still new here. These schools seem like they had a bad history with each." Oichi stretched. Jess looked at Oichi. "On another note I don't like this Kid person. I didn't like him when he first came here looking for a fight. I want you to stay away from him." Oichi nodded. "Yes. I will try."

Once they went their separate ways Oichi walked back into the school and ended up running into Kid anyways. She cursed at herself as she backed up a bit until she noticed that kid's face was a bit red. He then took out a can of limited juice that was going on sell at their school. "I…I'm sorry for overeating…" he said almost under his breath. Oichi was a bit dumbfounded. "This is for me?" The blush on Kid's face deepened. "Look…I didn't mean to scare you or whatever. I just got real mad when I thought someone hit you…" Oichi looked at Kid with a confusing look. "Why?" Kid frowned "Like I would know! So would you take the can already!" He yelled. Oichi jumped and took the can. "Thank you very much!" She says in a rush and then takes off to her next class. Kid rubbed the back of his neck. 'Damn…why is this so hard!'

At Hidden Leaf, Jess carried her empty lunch box back to class. Walking down the hall she bumped into Naruto and Hinata with Kida and Rock Lee, Naruto smiled and waved at her. "Hey Jess, it's a work day. Kakashi put on the board for us to go ahead and do whatever for we wanted for the project. He has a teachers meeting that might last long." Jess nodded to him and walked up the stairs "Wait." Jess stopped "What?" Naruto bit his lip. "Are you Gaara really friends with benefits?"

Jess raised an eyebrow at him, Kida crossed his arms shaking his head "Naruto they were joking" Jess looked down at them. Naruto was still staring at her for an answer, out of the corner of her eye she spots Sakura. She had her arm linked into Sasuke's arm. They walked right behind Naruto and up the stairs where they were standing. Sasuke right away stopped seeing Jess. Acting quickly, Jess put on a fake smile and blushed to where it was so convincing even Kida gasped 'was I wrong…?' He asked himself. "Why Naruto, yes we are. Me and Gaara are very close." Naruto smirked by what she said to him. Hinata blushed, Rock Lee had hearts in his eyes and Kiba was speechless.

Sakura narrowed her eyes at her while Sasuke on the other hand… His heart was pounding with anger 'What the hell is she talking about?! First she tells me she has something to do after school now she doesn't. Then she claims she's going out to dinner with Gaara?!... no… I… it's not true!' Jess turned around and started walking back up the steps "See you all in class" she waved at them.

Walking up the steps, reaching the hallway to the classroom, Jess turned to her left walking with a smile on her face. Gaara had texted her before gym on why he acted that way towards her. It was to test Sasuke, Jess didn't know why and didn't care. She didn't care if Gaara fakes with her, even though she knows that Gaara in fact does like her a lot. Reaching the classroom Jess walked in and Gaara was already sitting in his spot with his partner. Gaara looked up. "How was your lunch with Oichi?" Jess smiled "fine, prefect every time." Walking over to her desk jess puts away her lunch box and started to take out her notes for the project. Jess looked at the board indeed the message Kakashi left was on there with huge letters.

'WORK DAY STUDENTS! WORK ON YOUR PROJECTS! In a teacher meeting! Do whatever! Tsunade will come and get you all later' Sasuke walked in with Sakura on his arm. He stopped "Sakura why don't you go to your partner?" Sakura frowned "Why can't you and your partner join us for once? Why is she too good for it?" Sasuke really didn't like how she was talking about Jess. Sasuke just shook his head "Sakura please?" Sakura huffed and let go of his arm "Fine, alright hun but next time we better sit together is that clear?" Sasuke just nodded to her and walked towards Jess. Gaara saw Sasuke walking up to her, reaching out his arm he quickly hooked his left arm around her waist and pulled her to him and she was now on his Lap. Jess's eyes widen a little but went back to normal "Gaara not now…. I gotta work on my project..." Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks and bite his lip in anger.

Gaara leaned in and kissed her cheek "Why can't you and Sasuke work alongside with us? The Library is closed today." Shikamaru smirked at this sight. He already knew it was just a play. They were doing this to get at Sasuke, He wasn't stupid. "Would you two keep your lovely dovey sickness to yourself. At least until after school? Jeez Man. Keep it in your pants" That caused half the class chuckled a bit.

Gaara chuckled "Sorry Shikamaru, I'll stop. Sorry hun I didn't mean to embarrass you." Jess got up "It's fine, see you later." Gaara smiled and nodded at her had she walked away and out the classroom. He could see Sasuke's eyes darken at him. 'Man he really is pissed at this, well to bad for him. I might just convince Jess to make this fake thing official.' Sasuke managed to gather his stuff and left the classroom to look for his Jess. Seeing her turn the corner on the left, she was heading downstairs. He quickly followed her.

Jess walked down the steps and turned to the right. She knew a spot where hopefully she can work without Sasuke bothering her. She turned to a door that was closed and opened in. After she ducked in she closing it gently. 'Please not let him notice me.' She thought to herself. She was in an unused club room with a table, two chairs and a couch. She had asked Kakashi if she could use this until the library was fixed. He told her to go for it and even handed her the keys. She frowned as the door slid open and Sasuke stepped in, she squeezed the space between her eyes. "Crap…" she said out loud for him to hear and walked over to the table placing her stuff on the table.

Sasuke blinked at this room "What is this room?" Jess answered him not even looking at him "It's an unused clubroom. Kakashi said I can use it until the library is fixed up. I was hoping you didn't find me." she sat down looking at her papers. He frowned closing the door with a click, Jess heard the door locked. She looked up at him "Did you lock the door…?" Sasuke walked over to the table putting his stuff on it "Yes I did, so we won't get bothered..." Jess didn't like this one bit, she stood up "you're an idiot" stepping pass him to the door, she was gonna unlock this door. As she passed Sasuke he grabbed her wrist making her stop in her tracks. she frowned "Let me go…." "No, you will tell me the truth! Are you and Gaara seeing each other?" he demanded. Jess frowned "Why do you even care?!" she snapped at him making his eyes widen "You have a girlfriend! You shouldn't care Sasuke!" she turned her head to him. Her face red with anger. "Its only my second day of school here and you won't stop! Why won't you leave me alone! Please Sasuke just stop… please just…." She looked away from him, he frowned. Her angry face turned into a sad look "Stop… please…" Sasuke couldn't stand the look on her face anymore. He pulled her into him, he was holding her gently "I'm sorry…" Jess went lip in his arms "Please can we just work on our project…?" Sasuke pulled away a little, Jess wasn't even looking at him. She still had that sad look on her face, he raised his hand to her cheek "alright, let's work on the project…" Jess moved from his touch and went back to her seat. Sasuke went back to his seat, he was looking at her still "please answer my question" Jess looked up at him and nodded to him "we aren't but we are friends with benefits." Jess watched Sasuke frown and bite his lip 'so jealous….'

In the last class of the day, Oichi was sitting in her history class that was shared with the juniors and seniors. She and a girl named Robin were the only two freshmen that were in the class. Their teacher, Tsuru was going down the role list. Tsuru was a very thin older woman. Her gray hair was tied in a bun and she wore a plain white shirt with blue slacks and white gloves. She had a pair of green beaded ear rings and on her wrist were two bracelets. Among the other teachers Oichi had she was the only one to dress so casual. She placed the role book down after making sure everyone was there. She had a stern look on her face. "Good evening class. Some of you think this will be an easy A because it's your last class of the day. Well your wrong. I don't give out good grades. In here you have to earn them. Anyone who wishes to leave now and have their schedules changed then do it now. I don't tolerated slackers." The room was silent. "Good. Then let's get started. You should have already have a history book. For those who don't share. Turn to page ten and we will begin there."

Flipping through the pages Oichi felt a tap on her shoulder. It was Robin. "Hello there. It seems like I have forgotten my book. May I share with you?" She smiled softly. "Sure I don't mind." Tsuru started the lesson on Greek Mythology. It took interest with both Oichi and Robin. "So who can tell me who Zeus was?" Oichi raised her hand and flipped through her notes. "Yes." "He was the ruler of the Olympians and he was the ruler of the skies?" Tsuru nodded. "Correct. Word of advice young lady. Don't answer questions with another questions specially mine. If you know the answer just say it. Don't question yourself. It ruins your self-confidence. Do you understand?" Oichi nodded. "Yes ma'am." The lesson went on before Tsuru looked at the clock. "Since class is almost over we are stopping here." Oichi sighed and stretched her arms. The notes they had to write made her hand cramp a bit. She had heard from other people that Tsuru wasn't a hard class. It was just the note taking that killed you. "That's right. Before you go I have something for you." She picked up some papers from her desk and started to hand them to the people who was in the front of the class. "Pass these back. This is an end of the grade project. It's your choice to work on if you want. If it's not on my desk by the due date you will fail this class.

Oichi got her the paper and handed one to Robin. It was a Mythology project. They had to pick a Mythology figure, such as Zeus, and do a report on them. Then they had to present their reports to the class. They also had to bring an item to represent their person. For extra points they could dress up like the person they were writing about. "There are no duplicates for this project. Everyone will choose something different." Tsuru says picking a bowl with paper folded in it. "To ease the confusion I took the liberality of placing a name for you. When the bell ring come get a name out the bowl. I look forward to your presentation. If you have any questions you can come to me or go to the library." The bell rung signaling that the class was over. The students walked up to the bowl and took a name out. Oichi and Robin picked one and walked out the class. "So who did you get?" Oichi asked Robin. Robin opened her paper. "I got Aphrodite. Goddess of Love, beauty and sexuality." Oichi smiled. "That fits you well." Robin laughed. "Well what about you?" Oichi opened her paper. "Oh! I got Harmonia. The daughter of Aphrodite and the Goddess of peace, harmony, and concord." "My, my…that fits you as well." Robin says smiling.

Oichi and Robin reached the front entrance to head home until Nami blocked their way. "Oh no…I promise is a promise. Today you are coming with me. Oh, look you brought Robin. That's good. Very good." Oichi laughed nervously. "Well I understand but I need to tell my friends outside who are waiting on me." Nami frowned. "I am not falling for that. I'll be coming with you to see these 'friends' of yours." Nami grabbed Oichi and dragged her to the entrance door with Robin following close behind. "Hey Nami where are you going?" Luffy called out. He walked after her. "Luffy you idiot I wasn't finished talking!" Ace called out trying to grab him by his collar. "You ate my breakfast and lunch so what are you going to do about it!" Luffy frowned. "Nami is taking Oichi somewhere! I want to see where they are going? Plus, Oichi is a really good cook! I'm sure she will cook you something." Ace eyes sparkled a bit. "Oichi is with her and she can cook? Then why didn't you say so!" He started to walked faster out the door now dragging a helpless Luffy behind him.

Jess and Gaara were waiting by the entrance of their school. Sasuke and Naruto was there to. They were going over what they were doing for their project. Oichi walked out with Nami dragging her. She spotted Jess. "Jess! Gaara! Over here!" She waved happily. Jess and Gaara looked at Oichi. Jess face frowned up and she quickly walked over to them. 'Oh crap…I forgot Nami was dragging me. This must look all wrong!' Oichi separates herself from Nami. "What Jess it's not what you think!" Jess stops in place. "I was bringing them here to meet you." Gaara walks up behind Jess. "Your friends?" He asks. Oichi nodded. "This is Nami and Robin! I met Nami on my first day and Robin is in my history class." Jess smiles slightly. "It's very nice to meet you all. I'm Jess. I hope Oichi isn't causing too much trouble." Oichi pouted. "What's that supposed to mean?" Nami laughed. "None at all. In fact, we wanted to invite her to a get together. She promised that she would come this time since she blew us off last time." Jess smiled. "Why don't you go Oichi. I have some things I need to take care of before I head home anyways." Oichi looked unsure but nodded anyways. "Nami! Robin! Oichi! What are you guys doing!" Oichi heard a loud voice rushing their way. Naruto and Sasuke covered their ears from how loud the voice was. "That has got to be Luffy…" Naruto says.

Luffy pushes his way through the girls. "Oh…you guys were just coming over here…boring…" Luffy says losing interest quickly. "I thought you guys were going somewhere fun." Naruto, getting pissed at Luffy's attitude, was about to say something until Sasuke stopped him. "Don't make a fuss you dope." Nami pushes Luffy away. "Sorry about him. This is Luffy. He's with us." Nami says laughing nervously. Jess laughed. Suddenly an arm wrapped around Oichi's neck. "Hey there Oichi. I heard you knew how to cook." Oichi's face turned red as Ace ruffled her hair. "Learn something new every day huh?" "Ace! W-What are you doing here!" Oichi says in a panic. She slips under his arm and backs away. Jess crosses her arms. "So this is Ace huh." Ace looks towards Jess. "…and you are?" "My name is Jess. Oichi's best friend. She's like a little sister to me." Ace smiled. "Is that so!? Well nice to meet you Jess. Your friend is very cute." "Oh so do you like her?" Jess asked. Oichi pulled on Jess. "Shut up Jess! Don't ask him things like…" "Yeah! I like her a lot!" Oichi's mouth dropped and her eyes grew wide. Her face started to heat up and it felt like her heart was going to exploded. Jess eyes also widen and a big smiled appeared on her face.

She let out a giggle. Sasuke blushed at hearing this but kept his cool attitude straight. "Aww how cute! Tell me what do you like the most about her?" "Jessss" Oichi pleads with her cheeks burning up. Gaara tried to hide a smile. "Well so far I like that the fact that she gets embarrassed about every little thing I say. Let the time I carried her to the nurse office bridal style. Or this morning when I patted her on the head. I still want to get to know her more you know. Find out all her cute and charming habits." He flashed a big grin. Jess pulls Oichi over to her and Gaara. "He is so your type. He's super nice and look how innocent he is! He basically just confessed to you!" Gaara frowned and shook his head. "You sound a little to egger about this…why?" Jess pouted. "I can't always watch out after Oichi all the time. I need someone there to help me do it! Ace is perfect so far!" Oichi couldn't believe her ears. Just then Jess pulled Oichi over to Ace and pushed her on to him.

Oichi trips and she ended up falling into Ace's arms. Jess then bowed. "Please look after Oichi! I know she may seem difficult to handle but she is a sweet girl!" Ace rubbed the back of his head. "Uh sure?" Then something about the way Jess smiled sent shivers up Ace's spine. "Make sure you take really good care of her or I'll make sure you will never have children in the future okay." She says softy but to where only Ace could hear her. Ace gulped and nodded. "S-So Oichi…about that food." "Huh…what food?" Luffy walked over. "Yeah cook us some lunch! I'm hungry!" Ace pushed Luffy aside, going back into his happy little attitude. "Chill little bro. Plus you already ate not only my breakfast but my lunch as well! If anyone gets lunch it will be me!" Nami sighed. "Whatever you two. We can all get lunch at the meet and greet. Come on! If we don't meet Zoro he is going to get lost!" Ace placed an arm around Oichi's shoulder. "Ready to go?" Oichi pushed his arms off. "I'm going now Jess. Please…please…PLEASE! Don't tell mom about Ace!" Jess smiled and raised her hand "I promise." Ace pulled Oichi away. "Come on before the leave us behind. So what can you cook?" "Um…anything really?" "Really? Like pot roast!?" "Y-Yeah." "Oh man your awesome! You should cook me lunch every day!" Luffy pushed him over. "No way Oichi is making lunch for me every day!" "Go find your own cute cook!" Ace says glaring at Luffy.

I'm so happy she found friends…' Jess says to herself. Gaara chuckled a bit. "You are really mean sometimes Jess." Jess smirked and uncrossed her fingers that were behind her back. "Like I'm gonna miss a chance for Ms. D. to miss out on this fun." As Jess watched Oichi get dragged away she jumped slightly as she felt Gaara's arm over her shoulder, Gaara smiled "So let's head to your place" Sasuke eyes narrowed at Gaara. Jess smiled "Sure, let's go, see tomorrow Naruto" she waved goodbye to him making Naruto grin and wink at them "Yeah have fun you too!"

Sasuke couldn't take this any longer. So what if this was Jess's second day in school. His feels were more real than Gaara's will ever be! The more the thought about Gaara touching Jess the more anger he felt. Just then It felt like something snapped in Sasuke. He felt like he couldn't control his own movements and before he knew it he had grabbed Jess from Gaara. "You know what. I think we need more time to work on our project." Gaara narrowed his eyes and grabbed Jess from Sasuke. "No, we are going out to dinner. Your project can wait. Besides I highly believe that you will try to do anything but your project." Sasuke grit his teeth and pulled Jess back. "How about you mind your own damn business." Naruto frowned. "Look why don't we all just…" "Shut up Naruto! Stay out of this." Gaara and Sasuke glared at each other. Jess frowned. She knew something like this was going to happen. Then to make matters worse Sakura came walking out the entrance. She spotted Sasuke and ran up to him. She hugged his arm. "Oh Sasuke! Why don't we go out for lunch or something? You know…my parents aren't home so we can go over to my place today." "Sorry Sakura. Not today. Me and Jess need to work on our project today since we didn't do much work on it today. Sasuke said slipping out of Sakura's grip. Gaara looked at Jess who was just getting tired of this. "I guess it can't be helped, we did argue half the time." Jess glanced over to Gaara with a smile "Next time Gaara okay?" he frowned and nodded to her "I'm always a phone call away…"

Sakura on the other hand didn't like this "Wait no! Sasuke we barely have any private time together!" Sasuke was about to answer when Jess started to walk away "I'm walking, if you wanna get this work done follow me now." she says. Sasuke looked at Sakura. He leaned in and kissed her forehead, something he hates doing. "I'm sorry Sakura, I promise I'll make it up to you." He said to her and quickly took off following Jess. Gaara watched them walk away. He placed his head over his chest and gripped tightly. He had a bad feeling about this.
