Chapter 7: Huh?!

"Ewww…why do you like her?"

"Why are you with her?

"She is so ugly…"

"Pink hair? I don't think so…"

"I am so much prettier than her."

Ok… I have been called forehead, girl with pink hair, freak, pinky, and ugly. I can handle being called any one of those insults…BUT NOT ALL AT ONCE! Here I am, sitting next to my mission, and those fangirls are attacking me with insults! I know I'm supposed to ignore them no matter what, as Sasuke told me, but I can't handle it!

I formed a fist and whispered angrily, "You want to repeat yourselves again…"

"What was that pinky? I didn't hear you."

"Do you want to die?!" I screamed.

Kakashi finally pulled his attention away from his book to look at me, "Sakura, that's illegal."

"They should all die!" I pointed to those annoying fangirls.

You're emo, Sakura…

"Sakura, calm down," Sasuke told me.

I calm down and glared at Sasuke, "I hate you."

"I don't care."

"So you love me, right?" One of his fangirls asked him.

"No…go away."

She pouted, "Don't be like that, Sasuke-kun!"

"Leave me alone."

It's weird…you used to be like that.

Yeah, I kinda noticed…

"Awww…Come on, Sasuke-kun."

"I said go away."

The fangirl pouted and then glared at me, "It's because of her, isn't it?"

Sasuke looked at her, "No…"

"Well then what?"

"Nothing, you guys are just really annoying."

All the fangirls bowed their heads down in defeat, disappointed that the fact that their lover hates every single one of them. They all sat down in their seats, still sulking about what had just happened.

"How do you deal with those girls?" I asked him.

"I just ignore them. It's not that hard."

That explains how he ignored me…

He's not ignoring you right now!

"Oh…I see…"

"Isn't Neji and Ino in this class?"

"Oh…crap…"

--

"Get out of my seat Forehead!" Ino shouted into my ear.

I had to cover my ears so I yelled, "Shut up Ino-pig!"

"You're in my seat! I wanted to sit next to Sasuke-kun!"

"You're quite popular already, Uchiha," Neji said to Sasuke.

Sasuke glared at him, "You're just jealous."

"I didn't want to sit next to him. He made me!"

Ino was shock for a moment and she looked at Sasuke, "Is that true…Sasuke-kun?"

"No…"

I wanted to smack him! That liar! "WHAT?!"

Kakashi looked at us from his seat, "Sasuke, tell the truth."

When Neji came into the room, he sat next to Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei went to go sit in a seat by the window so he could read his book privately.

"Fine…yeah, that's true."

"Oh…ok…" Ino said despondently.

"Yamanaka! Sit down!"

"Yes Asuma-sensei!" Ino obeyed and sat right next to me.

"Alright class! Today's lesson is about concealment!"

"Asuma, I don't think you have to teach that," Kakashi said out of nowhere.

Asuma looked at Kakashi, "Well, I have to teach something. What are you doing here, Kakashi? Did you lose your Jounin position and bumped down to Chunin?"

Everyone in the class laughs and Kakashi smiles through his mask, "Why would you think that? Maybe I came to check on you?"

"I know that you have a class right now. So really…why are you here?"

"I have a mission."

"To watch my class?"

"Actually…it's to watch one of my students."

"Really? You're supposed to be assigned S-ranked missions. This mission is probably a D-rank."

"Lady Tsunade didn't have anyone else and since she is my student, why not?"

Everyone turned to look at me. I was confused for a moment until I realized that I was the only girl in my group. I sweat dropped and my inner self really wanted to punch everyone in the room staring at me. I think only Neji and Sasuke were the only ones not staring at me.

"Don't you have a class to teach, Asuma?" Kakashi continued.

"Right…you distracted me." Asuma turned to look at the board behind him. "Alright, as I was saying. Concealment is needed in missions. If an enemy sees you, it would seriously endanger your mission and your lives."

Asuma-sensei went on about how much concealment is so important to everyone. We had to take notes on this lesson. I took as much notes as possible because Asuma said there would be a test after this lesson.

"Hey Sakura?"

I look at Ino, "Yeah?"

"Do you want to share notes after school?"

I smiled, "I wish I could but I have training with Tsunade-sama and Kakashi-sensei plus I have a mission."

"Oh ok, then how about at lunch?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Hey Sakura, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I didn't mean to get mad at you like that. None of that was real so just forget about it."

I raised an eyebrow, "Ummm…alright?"

See…we were right! She doesn't like Sasuke-kun. I don't think she ever did.

Yeah…we may be right but do you think those emotions seem real enough? Don't you remember how she got sad when Sasuke told her the truth?

You may be on to something…Well, don't you remember how she wasn't mad about Sasuke-kun being at your house?

She said that I haven't figured it out yet…

I think she was talking about Shikamaru.

So we were right all along.

"Sakura…class is almost going to end," Ino informed me.

I nodded, "Oh ok."

Did we take that long thinking?

No…I don't think so…I think Asuma just has a lot to teach us…

"So class, don't forget to study and practice your own concealment! There will be a test on this! Be prepared!" Asuma warned us.

The bell suddenly rang and we were all running out of the classroom. We had a ten minute break but it wasn't much time. Next, I have Gai-sensei so during the meantime I have to mentally prepare my inner self. When we saw him last time, I almost had a mental break down.

"Sakura, let's go. You're slowing me down," Sasuke looked at me.

We were going to meet up with the others. I was walking and talking with Ino while Sasuke was talking with Neji. Apparently, we were walking too slowly so I began to walk faster.

"Naruto…what are you doing?" Tenten asked aggravated.

He sweat dropped, "Uhhh…w-what makes you think t-that I'm doing s-something?"

"You're unzipping Hinata's jacket…that's something…Oh my geez! You pervert!"

"HE'S WHAT?!" Neji screamed.

"IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! A BUG SLIPPED DOWN THERE!" Naruto panicked.

"NARUTO…"

"Neji-san! A bug did slip down my jacket! Please don't hurt him!" Hinata pleaded.

"Naruto…"

"Yeah, Neji…I think you should calm down. Naruto isn't that much of a pervert like that stupid teacher of his," Tenten said sharpening her kunai.

"Naruto…"

"All of you are being troublesome and I'm trying to sleep here…" Shikamaru yawned.

This time Neji didn't say anything. Naruto, Hinata, and Tenten grinned at each other knowing that Neji had lost. I was sitting next to Ino and we were watching the whole thing. I saw Kiba laughing the whole time and Shino only shook his head in disapproval.

Bugs…

I gasped and glared, "Kiba…what did you do?"

He was trying not to laugh, "Nothing…"

"Shino, what did he do?"

"We made a bet," he answered me.

"What kind of bet?"

"Shino…don't tell her…" Kiba said.

"It wasn't really a bet. We just wanted to see how Hinata would react if a bug slipped down her jacket and Naruto saw it. I bet that she was going to faint and just as she was going to… Tenten interrupts."

"Yeah, and you owe me money."

"I'll pay you tomorrow."

"No way! I want it now. You'll forget."

Kiba and Shino rambled on about how much Shino owes Kiba and when Kiba is getting his money. Ino and I, again, were watching the scene. We sweat dropped at how stupid our friends reacted to each other. I looked at Sasuke, who was talking to Naruto, Neji, and Chouji while Shikamaru was looking at the clouds (like he usually does).

I turned to look Hinata and Tenten. Hinata was still blushing and Tenten was fanning her to keep her from fainting. Actually…Tenten borrowed the fan from Temari. Ino and I were just hanging out until—

RING RING

The bell rang…

--

I knew someone was missing at break…

"Gai-sensei! I have run 150 laps! I will run fifty more!"

"Wait Lee!"

"Yes Gai-sensei?!"

"Lee! You must wait for everyone to be done!"

"Alright…But in the meantime I will do 100 pushups!"

"Good Lee! Exercise youthfully!"

"I will Gai-sensei!"

It was impossible…Lee was so energized and pumped up for anything. All of us were still running our laps and were half way done. Everyone was exhausted and completely tired and we all wondered how Gai-sensei could be our physical teacher. He was brutal and thought if Lee could do it then all of us could. He's absolutely insane…

"Gai-sensei...please…can we stop now?" someone asked exhausted.

"Not until you finished your laps like Lee!"

"Gai-sensei…we're never gonna finish…150 laps…are you serious?" Tenten asked walking beside Neji slowly. Neji was nice enough to wait for her.

"Tenten, finish your laps! If Lee could do it…Then anyone could!"

"WE KNOW!" Everyone shouted.

"Just focus on your running!"

We all sighed heavily.

--

"Can we rest for a bit…? Please…?" Tenten said desperately as she stretched out her arm to reach for someone. Though, no one was there.

"Alright! Fine! You guys have five minutes!" Gai-sensei grinned.

We all sighed in relief and fell backwards toward the ground. We lied there tiredly and sleepily.

Naruto sighed happily, "Man…I'm exhausted…"

"I'm sleepy…" Shikamaru said.

"You're always sleepy, Shikamaru…" Ino said.

"You're always troublesome, Ino…"

"What?!"

"See what I mean…"

Chouji started laughing and Ino glared at him. Ino yelled, "Shut up, Chouji!"

"Sorry Ino…" Chouji chuckled.

I looked over to Hinata and Naruto. Naruto kept poking Hinata to check if she was awake or dead. "Hinata-chan…are you alive…?" Naruto asked.

"Y-Yes N-Naruto-kun…" Hinata smiled and blushed.

"Whew…You weren't breathing for a second…" Naruto sighed.

"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun…"

"Hey Hinata…did you forget your lunch today?"

"No…I buy my lunch."

"I can buy it for you!"

"No, you don't have to…"

"It's ok! Just this once!"

"Alright…but you really don't have to Naruto-kun..."

"That's ok!"

I smiled. How sweet of Naruto…

Yeah, I know. Aren't they cute?

Now I turned my attention to Neji and Tenten. Tenten was still lying on the ground but Neji was sitting up. Tenten had her eyes closed and I think Neji was staring at her.

Tenten looked up at Neji, "Neji…what are you doing?"

He looked away, "Nothing…"

She smirked, "I know that you were doing something."

"I was staring at you because you had a leaf in your hair."

"As much as I want to believe that, I don't."

"Fine…but I'm telling the truth."

She raised an eyebrow and giggled but Neji only stared off into the distance.

Was Neji using his Byakugan?!

When he was staring at Tenten?

Yeah?!

I don't know but if he did…What a pervert!

"Hey Sakura…"

I jumped in surprise. I turned to look at whoever called my name. "Oh…hi Sasuke…"

What's wrong with him lately?

He's in love…

"Hey beautiful!" I hear someone called me.

I look at him and glared. Oh great…him… "What do you want?" I asked.

"Do you want to hang out with me after school?" Idate asked.

"No, I can't."

"How about tomorrow?"

"I can't either."

"How about the next day?"

"Nope…"

"Whenever you're available?"

"I'm never available."

"You have a boyfriend?"

"No…"

"Can I be your boyfriend?"

"No."

"Come on, Haruno…you know you can't live without me."

"I don't even know you."

"So why don't we take the time to get to know each other?"

"Yeahhh… I don't think so…"

He glared at Sasuke, "What are you glaring at, Uchiha?"

"You."

"Are you jealous?"

"We don't get jealous."

"Then why are you glaring at me?"

"Because I don't like you."

"Same here. Now…if you don't mind, I would like to ask out Haruno in peace."

"I don't think so. I already said no," I said.

"Now you say no, but later on you'll say yes," he smirked and walked off.

"What a loser…" I said to myself.

"That's my line."

"Oh…yeah…"

Sasuke sighed and looked like he was pissed off. "I hate you guys…" He whispered to himself. He looked at me with no emotions in his eyes. "Sakura…"

"Yeah?" I asked confused.

What's going on?

"I love you…"

HUH?!

HUH?!

Tenten, Hinata, Ino, Temari, Gaara, Kankuro, Lee, Kiba, Shino, Neji, Chouji, Naruto, and Shikamaru were in shock for a minute.

Gai was crying of joy because of the youthful love he was feeling at the moment. Everyone outside seemed to have heard and Sasuke just rolled his eyes.

Tenten, Hinata, Ino said at the same time, "HUH?!"

Tenten and Ino screamed, "WHAT THE HELL?!"

"NOOOOO!" Lee screamed.

Sasuke sighed for a moment then looked at me again. "After training practice…do you want to come to my house…and…"

I gulped and it suddenly began to become blurry.

He sighed, "and come to my room…and make love—"

I fainted…
