Chapter 8: Relieving Assaults

A/N: Yes, Yes I know I'm late… again I'm sorry guys. But hey I'm officially back! I just had a BIG problem to take care of but its history. I'm gonna start updating my stories now so hang on to something… read and review guys… (I missed saying that…)

"I told you there's nothing between Pinky and Red," the boy with unruly brown hair placed his arms behind his head as they entered the room. His opinion was then seconded by stifled laughs and malicious grins. The red haired boy pulled out a chair and sat with a very confused and yet still somewhat surprised reaction.

"Kiba… shut the hell up. I ain't telling anybody that I saw you and that girl making out in the fire exit, so give me a break," Gaara leaned his head on his elbow as he looked outside the open window.

"G…gaara," Meanwhile, Kiba stuttered for a response while a certain girl with grey eyes blushed furiously unable to meet anyone's gaze. The rest kept staring at the two with their eyes wide open.

An hour after the pregnancy commotion, an ambulance arrived to take the professor who had just given birth and her newborn. The three blood stained girls who helped in the delivery changed into their Gym uniforms much to the boys of their class' delight. "I hope she gets there on time," the girl with long brown hair pleaded silently as the class resumed.

"What? You can't do that!" the girl with long blond hair stood up and slammed her hands on her desk.

"Miss Yamanaka… who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do? Tomorrow I will be absent so I decided that you should take your final examinations today. Anyone who is absent today cannot take this examination in any other day meaning… she'll fail," the professor's eyes were definitely looking directly at the empty seat beside Gaara.

"She's not doing this because she's gonna be absent. She's doing this to get back at Sakura for embarrassing her every time she tries to act all-knowing," Ino said under her breath as she resumed her seat.

"I'll give you two hours to study…" with that the antagonistic professor slid the door close ignoring the loud protests of the whole class.

"She definitely will find a way for Sakura to fail," Tenten said worriedly as she approached Ino and Hinata.

"Don't worry our girl will find a way… she always does," the blond tried to reassure the others despite her own worries.

"But taking the board examinations for medicine in two hours is unheard of," Hinata said in a hushed tone adding it up to the others worries. Meanwhile, a certain red head glanced at the empty desk beside him.

"Alright, keep your books and notes. We're going to start," the professor seemed somewhat happy to see the seat in the back row still empty. The girls looked at each other then at the opportunistic witch in front. "You're given an hour-," the front door slid open with a loud clack behind it is a girl with long pink hair and a blood stained school uniform. "Ha-haruno-san," the sensei tried to sound monotonous but failed.

"What the hell are you doing?" she stepped into the room took the test paper of her nearest classmate then raised an eyebrow.

Ino, Hinata and Tenten sighed in relief almost at the same time upon seeing her at the door while Neji shook his head with a smile, Kiba did a peace sign, Shikamaru gave her a nod while the red head at the back hid his amusement with a smirk.

"Final Examinations eh?" her tone was the well-known sarcastic that was feared by the entire faculty.

"Y-Yes," the teacher nervously replied while trying to keep her cool.

Returning her classmate's paper, Sakura resumed her seat while returning the red head's smirk. "Sensei, you were told that an examination such as this is supposed to be announced a week at least to give the student an opportunity to study. If not… even if a student takes this test without announcement… the grades with be considered unofficial," she leaned her elbow on her desk and her chin on her hand. The professor having nothing more to defend herself walked out of the room slamming the door shut in the process. At first, the class was deadly quiet then a puppy barked, Kiba started to laugh the entire class rejoiced.

Flashback…

A certain pink haired girl jumped over the back wall of the school building, stealthily entered the school and was about to ran to her class when she heard a couple of girls talking. "Hey, have you heard about what happened to the class next door?" one said in a low tone.

"Yeah, that professor sure is a tyrant. I still can't believe she's forcing them to take their final examinations TODAY!" With that, Sakura forgot all about changing into her gym uniform and ran to her class.

In truth, she could've slipped inside the room unnoticed through the back door. Her seat was the one next to it but she wanted to see the look on her favorite sensei's face when she saw her present.

End of Flashback…

"You're a hero twice in one day," Ino sat on her desk as the class grew wild throwing their notes and books at the board.

"Taking the board exams in two hours?" the boy with long black hair still had the same expression as when she entered the room a while ago.

"How did you do?" Tenten asked immediately.

"Is that a question?" a confident tone was enough to answer her question. The bell rang indicating the end of today's class.

As the other's scattered to reclaim their stuff, Sakura faced Gaara directly and grinned. "You should've seen the look on his face," she was pertaining to her insecure schoolmate. "I bet he's probably thrilled to see you finish before him," he met her eyes then exchanged smiles.

"So how did they react when they saw you wearing that?" the pink haired girl looked down to see her murdered look.

"SHIT! I totally forgot! That's why they kept asking if I was okay," Gaara was enjoying the scene seeing this girl's reaction was like a splash of cold water in his face. He always put girls in a certain description. Girls according to Gaara's point of view are noisy, useless, care only about their looks, a pain in both the butt and pocket and… no other word to describe it… troublesome. But seeing Sakura, he definitely needed to change that, he told himself as he made a mental note.

"Akamaru? Akamaru?" Kiba called as he looked around to find not a trace of his little friend.

"What's wrong?" Hinata approached him as she saw his worried expression.

"Akamaru's missing. He never leaves my side," he ran his fingers through his unruly hair.

"Don't worry well help you find him," the others nodded in agreement. They split up to find the lost puppy but to no avail. An hour later, they met up in front of the school gates.

"No sign of him," Neji ran to the group.

"Where's Hinata?" the boy with a spiky ponytail said in his signature lazy tone.

"There," Sakura cocked her head at her direction.

"Akamaru!" the puppy barked as he sat on the other side of the street. The girl with black shoulder length hair waited for the stoplights to turn red before she crossed the street.

The others followed Hinata while Sakura stood there shaking her head "She truly has a way with animals," she said under her breath as she looked at the approaching car. Normally, she wouldn't care even if that was the latest model but seeing it was not decelerating despite the red light… "Hinata, watch out!" she shouted as the car sped up.

Someone lunged at her making them land in a safe corner. "Are you alight?" the boy with unruly brown hair got up immediately and asked.

"Yeah… thanks," the car turned around without losing its speed.

"Scramble!" Gaara and Sakura ordered instantaneously feeling the threat. The others did as their told. The girls took out their hidden kunai while the boys retrieved their guns hidden on their ankles.

The first shot was fired by the ones inside the car but Sakura blew their tire with her blades and Gaara took out the driver with a head shot. The car swiveled then slammed against a post that made it explode.

"Everyone alright?" Gaara and Sakura said in one breath. The two looked at each other after then smirked.

"I'm guessing their friends with the ones from our Christmas assault," the pink haired girl stared at the burning car.

"They're not even scared of being found out," Shikamaru lost his lazy as he hid his gun. Good thing, no one saw the scene. The authorities arrived to see only a burning car.

"Kurenai wants to meet us," snapping her phone shut, she faced the three girls who sat on the couch.

"Did she found out about the shoot out?" Hinata stood up.

"No… I haven't reported anything yet. Did you?"

"No…" the others answered.

"We'll meet in twelve hundred," Sakura bit her lip in thought.

The city lights were like a sea of fire from the place where they stand. "I'm glad to see you're all well," a woman with long layered hair and almost crimson eyes stepped away from the darkness. The five ladies standing on the rooftop of the tallest building in town felt the cold gust of wind.

"Yo!" Sakura, Ino, Hinata and Tenten threw their kunai at the direction where the voice was coming from.

"Hey that's dangerous," the four were surprised that whoever he is, dodged their attacks.

Preparing for another one, "Stand down," Kuranai ordered so the kunoichi relaxed.

"Enough with the jokes. Mess with my girls and you'll see hell," the woman tapped her foot agitatedly.

"Alright," a man with silver spiky hair stepped into the light as he eyes each and every one of them.

"Kakashi what is it that you-,"another four arrived at the scene.

"You know each other already right?" Kakashi turned to the four boys behind him.

"Yeah," the boy carrying a puppy and the one with grey eyes replied simultaneously.

"What's this about?" the pink haired girl asked but her eyes were on the red haired boy staring at her.
