Hi! Update! Hope you like!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Orochimaru grinned wickedly at her.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, not another pervert! She desperately thought.
Acting quickly out of pure panic, she scrambled up and yanked her arms free.
She peeled the tape off of her face and wildly looked around for something to use.
Kinkaku angrily pushed her, but she was faster.
Bringing up her leg in a second, she kneed him right in the crotch.
He howled like a baby.
"Why you-" Ginkaku snarled.
Sakura blindly grabbed the closest thing she could reach- a potato peeler, and swung it at his face.
It shoved him backwards, right on top of his brother who had been struggling to get up.
Both of them squirming on the floor, a foot struck the shelf, and multiple boxes and buckets toppled onto them, knocking them out.
"Whew!" She sighed.
Suddenly, she felt a hand running up her back.
"You…. You got Sasuke-kun to punch me pretty hard back there."
Frantic, she turned around, and saw him in a striking position, tense like a cobra ready to spring.
Squeezing her eyes shut, Sakura braced herself for the blow to come.
It didn't.
It was a good three minutes before she let herself peek.
Sasuke was there, one hand clenching Orochimaru's wrist, completely stopping the blood pressure in it.
The other hand was protectively shielding her.
"S-S-S-S-S-Sas-suke-k-kun?"
"Hn."
"Argh!" The snake man's face contorted with pain when Sasuke tightened his grip, snapping the bone.
Leaving the black-haired man writhing in agony, he turned and led Sakura down the hall.
She followed him quickly, then after a few moments, she tugged on his sleeve.
"Anou, Sasuke-kun? Who was that man?"
"Orochimaru."
"O-Orochimaru? What's he doing here?"
"Drug dealer. Kick him out, he'll get back in."
Her brow furrowed.
"Oh."
He stopped in front of a door, and she crashed right into his chest and bounced into the wall.
"OW! MAN YOUR DANG CHEST IS SO HARD!" Sakura yelped as she scrambled upright, hand on her forehead.
Numerous peals of laughter rang down the hallway, and she blushed, embarrassed.
Sasuke ignored her and opened the door.
"Oi, Sasuke-san, you found her!" A booming voice greeted them.
"Hn." He briskly walked to his seat next to the windows, not even glancing at the swooning girls he had brushed by.
"AH! SO THIS IS SAKURA-SAN! WHAT GLORIOUS YOUTHFUL BEAUTY! I, GAI-SENSEI, WILL MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET LOST IN THIS SCHOOL OF HOOLIGANS AGAIN, CHARMING LADY! SASUKE-KUN! YOU ARE TO ESCORT SAKURA-SAN TO ALL OF HER CLASSES UNTIL SHE CAN GET TO THEM WITHING THREE MINUTES!"
Sweat-dropping, everybody stared at their energetic, youth-crazy gym teacher.
Everybody except Lee that is.
Wearing matching green full body suits, with matching bowl cut hair styles, matching oversized eyebrows and matching sparkling teeth, they were the closest thing you could get to father and son.
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!?"
"TODAY WE WILL RUN FIFTY LAPS AROUND THE GYM AS A WARM-UP!"
"HAI!"
"AND IF WE CAN'T?"
"WE WILL DO FIVE HUNDRED SIT-UPS!"
"YOSH! EVERYBODY UP! GO!"
The teacher and student took off, faces red in excitement.
Reluctantly, the rest of the kids got up and followed.
Sakura was glad to see many of her new friends in the same gym period as her.
She jogged up to Ino, and poked her in the ribs.
"Ne, Ino-chan, are they always like this?"
"Mou, sometimes even worse!" The blonde sighed.
"Wow."
Suddenly, Ino's attention was captured by something, or someone else.
"Amazing! He's gotten even faster than last year!" She gasped.
Sakura looked to where she was pointing.
It was Sasuke, running like a cheetah, swift and agile like a hawk.
Her mouth gaped and she stared at him fly by Gai and Lee, much to their frustration.
"SASUKE-SAN! IF YOU CAN DO FIFTY LAPS, WE CAN DO THAT TOO!"
Sasuke didn't even bat an eye.
"AAAAHHHHH, Sasuke-kun! You're so cool!"
"Marry me already!"
"Then divorce her and marry me!"
"Hey! Sasuke-kun loves me!"
"No, why would he love an ugly fart like you?"
"If I'm an ugly fart, I have no idea what you'd look like!"
"Obviously I look like a model! Duh. But it's okay, since you're as brainless as you are hideous."
Ten-Ten had come to join them. She giggled at the ridiculous things his fan girls were saying.
Sakura bit her lip and grinned. When Sasuke reached them, she put on a burst of speed and chased after him.
By now, nobody was running besides Gai, Lee, Sasuke, and Sakura.
She pumped her legs as fast as she could, just barely managing to reach his pace.
"GO SAKURA!" Temari yelled.
"YEAH! SHOW HIM SOME GIRL POWER!" Ino chimed in.
Hinata only watched with astonished eyes.
"OI! SASUKE-TEME, AS CUTE AS SAKURA-CHAN IS YOU CAN'T LET HER BEAT YOU!"
"KEEP GOING SASUKE-KUN! WE'LL ALWAYS BE ROOTING FOR YOU!" A group of girls squealed.
Gaara groaned and tried to block out the horrific noise.
Shikamaru nudged him.
"Troublesome, huh?"
He only nodded.
Huff. Puff. Gasp. Pant.
Sakura leaned against the railing, exhausted and having a pretty darn hard time breathing.
Sasuke stood next to her, without breaking a sweat.
"You…*huff*…are…*pant*…fast!"
"Hn."
He turned and smirked when she dropped onto the floor, still wheezing.
"YOSH! EVERBODY LINE UP FOR PUSH-UPS!"
The majority of the class hadn't run even three laps, so they were content with doing push-ups and immediately got into position.
Sakura, however, groaned and raised her hand.
"I think I ripped a few muscles. Gai-sensei, may I skip this?"
The buoyant man gave her a thumbs up.
"OF COURSE YOU MAY! IN FACT, I THINK YOU SHOULD GO TO THE NURSE! SASUKE-SAN, GO WITH HER!"
Sasuke gave an annoyed grunt, but got up and walked to the door, the pinkette dragging herself after him.
"No fair!" A shrill voice shrieked.
Karin had her hands on her hips, pouting.
"I think I sprained my-"
"Mouth from talking?" Temari finished for her, sneering.
The redhead scowled, and glared at her.
"And you've never opened your mouth before?"
"To talk about Sasuke and perfume? Yes."
Bristling, Karin opened her mouth to snap back, but Temari and the rest of the other girls had already turned their heads and walked away.
Grumbling, she sat down and muttered.
"Why does she get to get to go to the nurse with Sasuke-kun of all people?"
"Mou, what did you do, try to keep up with Sasuke in running?" Shizune gasped as Sakura winced in pain.
"H-hai."
The brunette blinked in surprise, then sighed.
"Well now you know that was a bad idea."
Sasuke, who had been leaning against the wall, smirked yet again.
"HEY! YOU STUCK-UP, CONCIETED BRAT! LOOK, SHIZUNE-ONEE-CHAN, HE'S BRAGGING! OW!"
She pointed an accusing finger at him, then clutched her aching side.
His smirk grew wider, and she could only moan and glare daggers at him.
"Sakura," Shizune said. "Take it easy. You did pull a few muscles in your legs and middle, but get a good night's sleep with a hot water bottle and you should be fine."
The rosette nodded and tried to get up, using the wall for support.
When her hand slipped, she reached for the next closest thing…
"Ow!"
She looked up, and found herself grabbing fistfuls of Sasuke's hair, hoisting herself up.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Shizune whipped out her phone and snapped a million pictures.
"DELETE IT!" Sakura screeched.
"Nope, this is too god to be true." With a shove, she pushed the teens out of her office.
Stumbling, she fell onto the floor.
"Itai."
Sasuke sighed. He was supposed to be with her at all times, so there was no getting out of this.
Bending down, he picked her up with one arm, her little body snugly fitting in the crook of his shoulder.
"Eh? AH! Sasuke-kun, put me down!"
"You're hurting my ears."
"LEMME DOWN LEMME DOWN LEMME DOWN!" She yelled into his ear the whole way to their next class.
He kicked open the door, and the class gawked at the incredulous sight.
"LEMME DOWN LEMM-"
"Fine." He dumped her into a chair and got into his own seat.
Stupid annoying girl. I'm gonna bill her if I start needing hearing aids.
"So, Sakura-chan, what did it feel like, with Sasuke-kun dragging you along for every class?" Ino whispered during homeroom.
"Like a sack of potatoes."
The blonde giggled and zipped up her jacket.
"Ne, how're you gonna get home?"
Sakura blanched.
"I'll… baa-chan will take me home."
"Ok!" Ino smiled and waved goodbye without another thought.
Whew! That was close! She thought.
Suddenly, Sasuke was standing in front of her.
"Where?"
"Tsunade-sama's office please."
"Hn."
He scooped her up in one arm and carried their bags in the other.
She couldn't help but blush at his cool exterior.
I wonder what he feels on the inside…
"I'll drop you off here." Her grandmother said.
"Hai! Thanks for the ride!" Sakura got out of the car and started laboring home.
Tsunade shook her head.
Why, oh why, Sakura… Why won't your father accept my help?
Was that good? I hope you liked!
So I've got one question.
I need a wicked name, like a name for a really mean girl. Evil actually, but one that sounds innocent.
Please include it in the REVIEW!
I'd really appreciate it!
