A/N: I'm taking TheFoxGirlKitsune's advice and going to back to using the girls' real names because it's much easier for me and anyone reading this story to remember. Just remember their boy names for when someone else at the school besides them refers to them.

Here's the Key:

Sakura: Tetsuya, Aoki

TenTen: Ronin, Arakawa

Temari: Tsubasa, Yamada

Ino: Toshi, Mitsu

Hinata: Yasuo, Taji

Onto the Story:

"So, out with it Toshi!" Sakura said getting really irritated that Ino was taking so long to catch her breath instead of telling her what the news was.

Ino finally caught her breath and got to tell her. "It's that guy with the chicken-ass hair, his name is Sasuke and, well…um…it turns out that he's in the room right across the hall from you." Ino avoided eye contact with Sakura because she was starting to scare her.

Sakura's aura burst into flames. "I'm gonna kill him." She began walking towards the door.

Neji was just watching the scene wondering what the hell was going on.

"Wait Tetsuya! You can't just go and attack him now!" Ino said trying to block Sakura's way.

"Watch me." Sakura said without even looking at Ino, still looking straight ahead.

Sakura was still trying to push her way through Ino to the door when her headache came back with a vengeance. It shot through her head like a million trapped lightning bolts.

She blacked out and fell backward, but with Neji's fast reflexes he managed to catch her as she collapsed.

"Holy- Tetsuya are you ok?" Ino asked her, a little slow to realize that she was unconscious.

"I don't think he can hear you. He's unconscious." Neji said feeling as if he was pointing out the obvious.

Ino glared at him. "Come on we need to get him to the nurse!" Ino said.

"I'm not sure if the nurse is here today, none of the teachers are." Neji told her.

"Shit." Ino cursed. "But we should still check! Come on!" Ino said starting to quickly walk out the door waiting for Neji, who was carrying Sakura to catch up with her.

Unfortunately, since Ino and Neji hadn't been at Konoha Academy less than a day they had no idea where the nurse's office was. So they went around mindlessly searching until they found a map, Neji was glad when they actually found the way to the nurse because it was irritating to listen to Ino's directions.

"Nurse! You there! Nurse!" Ino shouted into what seemed like an empty office.

"Please tell me that the nurse is here." Neji said looking a little tired out, "This guy Tetsuya is getting heavy."

Ino ignored him, "Nurse! Oh nurse!" she continued shouting.

"What is it?" A creepy snake-like guy asked as he appeared, as if from nowhere.

Ino was forced to jump back a step in surprise, this guy was really creeping her out. She regained her stature almost immediately though, to tell the nurse, "Um, yea my friend Tetsuya passed out, I think that he has a headache."

"Oh ok." He said. "Then just leave him on that bed so I can heal him and so he can rest until he wakes up." He finished telling Ino pointing to one of the two hospital beds in the room.

Neji set Sakura down on the bed and left with Ino not saying anything more to the creepy nurse.

Sakura woke with a start and shot up straight in the bed she was sleeping in. She scowled and cursed herself in her head when she realized that she had passed out right before she was going to kill that Sasuke guy.

"So you're awake." The creepy nurse said. "How's your head?"

"It's fine." Sakura said looking over at the nurse, but she had to do a double take because he guy creeped her out. "Who are you?"

"The name's Orochimaru. I'm the school's nurse." He said to her.

"The school's nurse? Ok, thanks for healing my head." She said getting up to leave.

Orochimaru jerked an arm out in front of her to stop her from leaving. "Wait, before you go I have one question to ask you."

"Ok." Sakura said wondering what he would want to ask her. "What is it?"

"What's a girl like you doing in an all boy's ninja academy?" Orochimaru asked her.

Sakura knew better than to let the shock and fear that Orochimaru gave her with that question to show on her face but inside her head alarm bells were screaming at her. Instead she glared at him, "Excuse me? Just because I have pink hair does not make me a girl!"

Orochimaru smirked. "Look, I know you're a girl. Don't lie and pretend you're a boy."

Sakura realized that she couldn't convince him that she was a boy. So she glared harder even angrier, she grabbed the front of his nurse's robe and pulled him down to eye level. "How the hell do you know I'm a girl?"

"I guess one becomes more sensitive to gender clues when one is gay." Orochimaru answered with a completely straight face.

Sakura let go of his robe in surprise. That was not an answer that she was expecting, but she shook off the surprise. She went back to glaring at him and stood up to seem more threatening, "Listen, I came here because I have something I need to do, I'm not going to let you get in the way. I'm going to prove that girls are just strong as boys!"

Orochimaru blinked but then he just laughed and shook his head. "You have it wrong. I wasn't about to rat you out, well if you had begged me not to I would have because then it would have showed me that you were weak. But, I'm not going to say anything."

Sakura was confused. "Ok, not that I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth or anything, but why?"

"Why? Because I am a medical ninja but all medical ninjas are girls so I get no respect, and if you actually succeeded in becoming a ninja then it really would prove something. And because I live at this boarding school, I have to take my entertainment where I can get it." Orochimaru smiled at the last thing he said.

"Uh, ok." Sakura blinked.

"You know, that blonde boy that came with the guy who was carrying you here looked a lot like a girl too, are you not the only girl at this school?" He asked.

"Well, since you're not going to kick us out then I'll tell you. Yes, Toshi is a girl and so are three others: Ronin, Tsubasa, and Yasuo. But don't tell them that you know! They would freak out and probably want to quit! I'm the one that came up with this crazy idea." She told him.

"Ok." Orochimaru sighed. "But do you have any idea what you're in for do you?"

"What?" Sakura asked, he was confusing her again.

Orochimaru's look turned serious. "This is a ninja academy, for boys it will be a lot tougher than you think. You have never had ninja training before but everyone else at this school has. If you ever decide to give up or say it's too much I will kick you and all your friends right out on your asses. Do you think you can handle it?"

Sakura turned her look serious too, "You have no idea what I can do."

"I hope for your sake that you're right." Orochimaru told her. "But you do have to be careful. Do you have any idea what will happen if you are found out? Do you know what happened to Anko when they realized that I had trained her?"

A/N: And so I update, yay! It's been a long time! I'm just glad to work on this story again. I know that I made this chapter a little shorter than the other ones but this is where I wanted to end it. Well I really don't have much to say in this author's note.
