*fixed some little mistakes, nothing big, thanks for reading! (thanks to Ani for pointing them out)*
Hey! I leave you with the sixth chapter. I really hope you find it interesting because, to be honest, I didn't know how to write it, I mean, I had the scene in my head but it was just so hard to write, and I'm not completely happy with the result (which is short and does not have all the elements I wanted to show), but still, I swear I gave it my all and I will make it up to you next week ;)
Anyway, this time, the main couple is ShikaTema, with a little bit of the other ones (SaiIno, KibaIno, GaaHina, SasuHina).
I would like to thank you all for the readings, favs, follows and reviews (thank you Ani), I can't tell you how happy they make me.
If you like GaaHina, check out my other fics. I don't own Naruto or it's characters. English is not my first language.
R&R
The week of the day she most dreaded was finally here. Shizune, being the health teacher and responsible of the infirmary, was to be coordinating the health examination of the term that friday. Every year was the same: she would get temporary nurses to help her, set the gym where the students would reunite and then... everything would be chaos. Too many students in the same place, at the same time through the whole day! Why couldn't they dedicate the whole week for the process and have 6 or 7 groups a day? It was obvious Tsunade sama wasn't the one suffering this hell. At least this time she had let the students use the entire week to go get the examination on their free time, that way she would have less students at the gym on the official day.
She could only hope to have at least 60 students before Friday... maybe that was a reaching too high? Shizune better accepted her faith, but this time she will make sure Tsunade-sama was there, that was the only way she could stop this hell from happening next year.
She couldn't stop the sigh of resignation that escaped her lips.
"Ok, that's all Shiho, you can get dressed now" Shizune instructed, closing the curtain as she left.
She was at the process of putting her stockings on when she heard the door of the infirmary opening and then, her heart stopped.
"Tsk, troublesome" that voice, she would recognize it anywhere.
"Oh! Hey lazy-ass, are you here for your examination?" Lazy ass? Did Temari know him? From where? And how did they meet?
"Yeah, I figured it would be a drag waiting until last day, so here I am." The scrape of a chair indicated he had taken the seat next to the Suna girl.
"So you didn't want to be waiting in line this Friday, what a cry baby" she sounded so comfortable talking to him... like she once did.
"Heh, look who's talking, you came here today to get attention right when you wanted it, like the bossy woman you look like you are" he said and the more they talked the more she was sure of it, to anyone that would listen, they sounded like they were insulting each other, but to her, Shikamaru's ex-girlfriend, it was obvious they were bantering, like a married couple, or at least, he was. How many times before they started dating had he used that flirting tone? How many times had the tease been clear in his voice when he wanted to surprise her when they were already girlfriend and boyfriend? And when did it start to disappear little by little until it definitely stopped? She had been looking for the answer to that question for the past 6 months, ever since the day he broke up with her, ever since the day her heart was torn in two.
She came back to her senses when the fighting was stopped by a question.
"Am I next after you?" He was talking to her as if he knew her from long ago.
"No, I already had my turn, I'm waiting for a friend" Shiho didn't know she had taken a seat on the bed until she heard the other blonde in the room "You know, maybe she heard you and she feels uncomfortable with a boy here and that's why she won't come out"
"Yeah, maybe, women are such a drag, I'll wait outside till you get out then" Shiho heard him say, from what Ino had agreed to say, he had started saying that after they broke up, what did that mean? Did he still think about her? But he didn't know she was the one behind the curtains, so it couldn't mean anything, right?
"Yeah, get your misogynistic ass out of here" this time her friend sounded really angry.
"Tsk, see ya troublesome woman" but Shikamaru's voice was so obviously hiding a smile, yeah it didn't mean anything about her anymore, it was about her green eyed friend, it was about making HER angry just to get her to notice him. The door of the infirmary closed and the curtain hiding her from the world opened.
"Shiho, what's taking you so lo... are you ok?" The sunan woman had changed her face from angered to worried, why?
"Yeah, I'm fine, why do you ask?" Shiho answered with the best smile she could muster, but was taken aback by Temari's hand picking up her shed tears.
"You're crying, did Shizune hurt you?" Her friend sounded sincerely concerned.
"No, no, I... I..." she couldn't hold it anymore, her heart needed to vent and so she let it, in the arms of the woman that was her ex-boyfriend's new interest.
A bunch of kids in the gym, how hard could it be? Surely Shizune was being overdramatic, she tended to do that.
According to her last report, there had been 30 students the ones that got checked over the week, which still left a lot for this day. Let's see what all the fuss was about.
"I'm going to send them in, please everyone, try to be as fast and accurate as possible, the faster they leave the easier they will be to control" Shizune's voice already sounded stressed, Tsunade had to try very hard not to laugh. The dark haired woman opened the gym's doors to let approximately 60 students in before she started to speak again.
"Please, make 4 lines, two of girls on the right and two of boys on the left, Kurenai-sensei, Anko-sensei, you will be guarding the girls while Kakashi-sensei and Asuma-sensei you will be guarding the boys. Please make sure they move through the stands to get measured and weighted. Students, whenever you are done, please leave the gym immediately, do not hang out. As soon as one is out, please Guy-sensei send another one in. Let's proceed" Shizune sounded comfortable shouting out orders, she was doing a great job if sea said so herself.
Everything moved out swiftly for the first hour and a half, kids came in and left without further incident, and then...
"kyaaa!" Pumff.
The ruckus came from the back of the girls section, she tried to use her position on the high benches to see what was happening but the dust coming from there was stopping her, and so she decided to approach.
"Everyone keep working! I'll deal with this" She shouted as soon as she noticed the panic stricken face of her infirmary head.
She moved quickly, with long decisive strides, but her way was stopped by a blonde boy falling right in front of her, rubbing his already swollen jaw.
"Arg! Teme! I wasn't doing anything! I didn't fall on her boobs on purpose!" did he just say boobs?
"You will pay for insulting Hinata-sama's honor!" The Hyuga was in this too of course.
"No! Neji wait! It was Sai's fault! he was saying stuff about my..." she was definitely sure she did not want to hear the end of that sentence, not with the pale boy's reputation, thankfully the red haired sunan boy talked, or more like growled, effectively interrupting Naruto.
"This time, it will be me landing the punch Uchiha" yeah, something was very wrong here if the younger of the Sabaku kids was involved.
"Ok, kids that's enough! Inuzuka! Lee! Sai! Grab Gaara, Neji and Sasuke!" She shouted her orders... and then the yelling from the girls began.
"Kyaaa! But Tsunade-sama"
"This is the girls section!"
"Get them out!"
Ah damn! She had gotten all the boys inside the girl's section, forgetting completely that most of them were half naked, they had robes on but still.
"No, no, don't scream beauty, you still look sexy with that ugly robe on" Sai, who was already holding the younger Suna sibling, received a very well combined punch by Ino Yamaka who happened to be by his side and by Inuzuka Kiba, knocking him out and thus releasing Gaara, who took the chance to run after Naruto.
"No, no! Wait Gaara! I don't understand! Why do you want to hit me?!" The blonde menace hid behind Tsunade, who was strong enough to stop Gaara's punch but, it was obvious to her, he didn't expect Neji to be behind him, he forgot Kiba had let him go when he punched Sai. Neji grabbed him by both arms, leaving Naruto defenceless with Gaara ready to land a punch on the blue eyed boy's face.
Hell no! She was not witnessing this! The sound of a heel hitting the stave worked as a charm: Kakashi and Guy where suddenly holding Neji and Gaara, Kiba was restrained by Asuma and Naruto was dumped, ready to hit the floor with his buttocks, but the hit never came. She turned her head down to look at the little monster hanging by his collar on her right hand, he was looking at her with fear in his blue eyes, good.
"Every boy in the girls section will be taken to my office immediately! Including the unconscious one! Kakashi, Guy, Iruka, help me taking them!" She had never sounded so mad, even if she wasn't feeling it, this was just a little diversion from the terribly boring examination day "the rest of you will continue working under Shizune's orders" and with that he took Sai's body with her left hand and dragged him along with Naruto to the gym's doors, the other teachers behind, to play judge and executioner at her office, she really loved her job sometimes.
Thank you for reading! See you next week!
