I do love it when my readers review; you guys should do so, even if it is just to remind me to hurry the hell up. : D AND I AM SOO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! I had almost finished typing up the chapter when I was dragged into visiting family friends, and then with finals, I didn't get the chance to finish! Feel free to enjoy, though!

Tenten POV:

Ugh, this class is so, so… ugh I can't even find words to describe this piece of shit… Good thing it's Friday already, I- hmm is that Neji's sexy self? Staring me~ down? I licked my lips and stretched out my back a little, all the while watching as he tensed from the corner of my eye. This is gonna b- I felt a sharp pain in my side, and saw Temari retracting her arm from the nudge (hitslamabuse) she just gave me along with a glare-smirk combination that said, 'I see what you're doing and you better stop even though it's HILARIOUS'. I just lifted my shoulder in a half-shrug, leaned back in my chair comfortably and let my inner thoughts about sexy brunettes coughnejicough consume me. Hmm, I wonder if he has a six pack… OR AN EIGHT PACK! OH SHIT THAT WOULD BE SOO HOT! I wonder if he'd let me wash his hair? OMYKAMI-SAMA I BET IT'S HELLA SOFT AND EVERYTH-

"Ms. Tenten?" I jerked upright in her chair and stared at Itachi-Sensei with a deer in the headlights face.

"Uhh, pardon?" she attempted to compose herself, it didn't work.

"The question, Tenten." He reclined against the side of his desk, his beautiful muscled body completely available to her view, in the background she heard snickering from next to her. "Temari, since you seemed to be paying more attention than your friend could you answer my question?"

"Of coarse, Sensei! We're from Ame. We actually lived very close by the industrial strip, and our guardian made sure to educate us very thoroughly."

"Thank you, Temari." He turned back to his lecture after giving me a pay-more-attention look.

"Hey, come on Tenny! Don't make yourself look like an idiot! I know you heard that!" Temari whisper-yelled at me.

"It's not my fault, I had the answer, HE'S JUST SO HOT!" the whole class, including Itachi-Sensei, turned toward me, Temari fell on the floor laughing, and I felt my face heat up. "Uhh, I mean… um… never mind." Before I turned my head to my notes, I saw Sensei's smirk smooth out as he settled down the now laughing class (well in Sasuke's case dark chuckling, Neji on the other hand was clenching his fist and glaring at Itachi). Temari sat down in her seat, still chuckling, I saw her glance in Neji and Sasuke's direction and smirk.

"Hey, at least, we know Neji likes you."

"What? Why? I mean, uh, really?" my voice filled with hope I tried to shove down.

"Look at him. He's totally jealous because you called Itachi-Sensei hot but not him."

"Calm down, Temari. Pay attention, we'll discuss this later." Itachi-Sensei was looking at us out of the corner of his eye and it was making me uncomfortable. With a last glance at Neji's clenched fist, I turned back to Itachi-Sensei…

Ugh, at least it's Friday…

NPOV: AP ENGLISH:

Third period and the class was antsy for lunch to begin… well that was the girls, the boys were antsy all the time, considering Konan-sensei was their teacher this period. "Okay, you guys are obviously not listening to me." The afore mentioned sensei sighed in exasperation. "Here's a quick little vocabulary and grammar exercise and after that the rest of the," she glanced at the clock," twenty minute period to yourselves." Everyone got to work immediately and finished within five minutes and was laughing and joking with his or her friends.

"So where do you wanna get lunch for Sak?" Tenten asked. The six girls were sitting around Sakura and Tenten's desks near the windows.

"Well, I bet if we go to the café I could just make something beautifully delicious for us instead of the crap shit I'm sure they serve here."

"Well, the food-if it can even be called that-, they serve here is pretty crappy-"

"Actually, it's hella crappy! We should all just go get Ramen instead!" Naruto cut off Kiba, and earned a few raised brows from the girls as the boys that were sitting around Sasuke and Neji's desks in front of them.

"What makes you think we want to go anywhere with you?" Karin drawled out. Ino and Temari nudged her from either side.

"What our beautiful, but some times stupii best friend means is that, 'why would we go with you to get Ramen, when Sakura here can cook better than any person within a ten mile radius of the earth?" Both Ino and Temari "explained" at the same time.

"Oh? Can she? Sasuke's challenged as he stared straight into Sakura's eyes with a raised brow and an amused smirk. Unfortunately, the "main" fangirls (as the girls had dubbed them) were in this class as well and Sasuke's piped up after him.

"Yeah, can she? Because I don't think that pink-haired sluts can do anything but open either their mouths or their legs, maybe even at the same time." Ami Watanabe, her nasally voice assaulted everyone in the classes' ears. Konan sat at her desk with an amused look in her eyes and watched as Sakura got up, walked over to Sasuke, leaned in to get eye level with him, her eyes glinting with excitement, amusement. mischief, and determination, " I guess you'll just have to find out, huh, sunshine?", she straightened out and looked at Ami with amusement and some disgust. "Is that what you've been thinking about all this time you're been 'glaring' at me? Sick, perverted fantasies about me and whomever was as unfortunate as me to end up in your little nasty-fest doing," she wrinkled her nose, "that." And spit out 'that'. She continued over to Konan- sensei, "May I leave?" Konan nodded her head at the door and went to typing an email on her computer as Sakura walked out the door, closely followed by the other five girls who were mugging Ami for coming at Sakura 'all sideways and shit' as the girls put in their inner rants, and yelling at the boys to, 'meet them at the café ASAP!'

IN THE CAR, WITH THE GIRLS: SAKURA POV:

"Wow, Sak, what was that? That 'I'm sexy and I know it, bitch don't mess around with me' thang! It was so hot!"

"Well, I couldn't just let him challenge me like that! Even though they practically scammed us for free food. Plus, the whole lean in his face thing totally pissed off the hoebag. I mean did you see her ace? It was great!" I replied to Temari.

"Sakura, are you sure tying to piss her off so blatantly isn't bad for our cover?" I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Sasuke in his truck behind her and then at Hinata.

"Well, she just blatantly insulted me, I passively defended myself to establish that I ain't no pushover. I'm not going to instigate anything, what she decides to do next will determine everything." I explained with a smirk I couldn't repress.

"Sakura, you know how she's going to react and you're even anticipating it! You want her to react!" Hinata put in.

"No, I-"

"Yes, you do! It's all over your face!"

"Hina-"

"No, Sakura!" Hinata's face was red, and filled to the brim with anxiety, while panting heavily in the backseat. I sighed, shit, she's right…

"Fine, Hina. Hey, come on, Hina look at me, I'm being honest. I promise, nothing but self-defense. I won't instigate anything, I won't start it either." I glanced back in the mirror as I parked my truck in front of the café. I got out and caught Hinata by the arm. "I promise." I looked her in the eyes and grinned. She shot into my arms like a bullet, latching onto my neck tightly,

"I just don't want you or anyone to get hurt or draw attention! You have to be careful!"

"Yeah, yeah…" I got her off of me, "mom." I booked it into the café's kitchen and heard her yell,

"I'll hurt you, Haruno!" and chuckled before getting down to business, I have an asshole to impress.

20 MINUTES LATER:

"Done." I took a deep breath and picked up the last of the food; I had made cookies, sushi, noodles, rice, and stir-fry, all at the same time. Good enough… I rolled the cart out into the corner of the café near the front windows where extra tables and chairs had been pulled up so everyone could sit, including the bitch crew! Yay! And I just promised Hina too! There was a seat open for me next to Sasuke, across from him sat… uhh. What's her face, yeah What's her face trying (trying being the keyword here) to show off her (stuffed) B-cup boobs. I went to the end of the table and began sliding the food down, everyone waited until I was seated, "Let's dig in." everyone began to fill plates in a civilized manner, good thing too, because if they would have acted like barbarians I would have had to slap a bitch! Cha! I watched as everyone's faces, including the resident ice cubes' faces melted into pleasure, satisfied I turned to my own plate and began, making sure to acknowledge the various shouts and comments of appreciation with a smirk. Once I was done, I gathered the dishes and took them to the back, handing a twenty to one of the employees so she would do the extra dishes and headed back out to see everyone standing outside waiting for me in the parking lot. "Well?" I asked as I stood next to Tenten and looked straight at Sasuke. He mirrored my smirk,

"Hn." Don't twitch, don't twitch, don't- DAMN IT! My left eye twitched,

"What?" I fought hard to keep the extra venom out of my voice, and saw everyone shudder. I promised, I promised. My eyes narrowed and I glared, HARD at what's her face, who began cackling, and her friends joining in nervously. My eye twitched faster as they progressed. " You. Are. Such. An. Asshole!" I ended with a high pitched sigh. I whirled around and very gracefully stomped back to my truck. Right as I grabbed the handle a strong hand on my right arm turned me around (before I could kick its ass, cha!) and lightly pushed me against the truck effectively pinning me. Oh hell… I looked up into Sasuke's face and my anger melted as he leaned closer and my breath hitched when he whispered in my ear,

" Your cooking was delicious." Oh Kami he's so fine… I sighed and immediately pulled myself together as he pulled away,

"That was a much better answer, you may just be blessed with a taste of my delicious cooking again." Smirking I turned to get into my truck and in a voice only I could hear he said,

"I hope that's not the only thing I get to taste." The girls had already loaded in, and stared questioningly at my blushing face. Before I left the lot, our eyes locked in a steamy embrace, and I drove off with Bei Maejor's lyric left hanging in the air…

'I told you, not to stare at me like that when I'm performing,

I-i-i-Iiah I told you, that, that's gonna make us, ah, ah

'Til the early morning, just a warning,

It's gonna get you in trouble…'

Sorry, again! I really, really wanted to have this up two weeks ago, but it just didn't work out! I really hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter. And if it consoles any of you, I am already working on the 7th chapter, and I'm pretty sure I know where it's going.

Love,

Crowlady
