Chapter 9: Field Hockey

Sorry it's so short, I had a rough work day. Someone called off and I had to do the work of two people which is hard in the food business. Hope you like this next little step in the story!


Sasuke walked onto the track located a few yards from the school. He looked around and spotted the person he wanted to see sitting on the risers on the side of the field. He smiled and smoothed out his running shirt, just emerging from the locker rooms from changing. He watched Naruto talk to Hinata and Kiba as he walked in their direction. He was diverted though when a freshly clean Sakura stepped into his line of walking and flashed him a smile.

"Sasuke-kun, I was wondering if..." she began.

"Beat it," Sasuke hissed. Without warning he shoved her to the side and continued walking. She gaped with her mouth open and then growled before crossing her arms.

"Sakura, your turn on the field," the female gym teacher yelled. Sakura continued to glare at Sasuke as the other climbed the benches and sat next to Naruto. The raven didn't hesitate or care who was watching as he swooped down and kissed the blond full on the lips. Sakura stormed off in a furry, grabbing the field hockey stick menacingly away from another girl switching off the field.

Sasuke leaned back from the kiss only to be faced with a blushing Naruto.

"Sasuke!" he reprimanded lightly. The raven only smirked and sat down closely next to him.

"Couldn't help myself, your hard to resist," he murmured, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. Hinata and Kiba rolled their eyes as the couple leaned back on the benches.

"Itachi made it home okay?" Kiba asked. Sasuke nodded as he gently set his head on Naruto's shoulder.

"He was a little pale, so I took him home real quick. Did Neji go home and get some rest?" he asked.

"Yeah, he was really tired; did he get hurt in the fight? Should we take him to the hospital?" Hinata asked in concern. Sasuke shook his head and pulled Naruto closer.

"I'll see him after school, Neji is smart, and he knows when he needs to be helped. He'd probably take himself to the hospital if he needed to be there," he said. Sasuke then turned back to Naruto who was watching the field hockey game. Sakura was pushing people left and right and hitting the ball with a hateful look on her face. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at her before he re-directed Naruto's face toward himself.

"Ignore her," he whispered. The blond frowned and looked to the side.

"It's kind of hard; I feel like she is pretending that the ball is my head," he whispered. Sasuke kissed him again and leaned back.

"She's such a bitch," he said against the skin of Naruto's cheek. Naruto actually gave out a small huff of laughter before his lips was quite occupied. Hinata leaned back on her boyfriend's arm as her friend continued to make out behind her. Kiba's eyes were closed as he was enjoying the fall breeze hitting his face.

"You're so handsome, when is our next date?" she winked. Kiba smiled; eyes still closed.

"I was thinking of asking you to go with me this weekend to my summer home. It's a little more private and no one, but us will be there to enjoy it," he purred, opening his eyes and looking over her up and down. Hinata blushed despite herself and snuggled more into Kiba's side.

"Sounds like fun," he smiled.


They continued to watch the game go on as Naruto and Sasuke made out behind them. The raven held the blonds' hips in his hands as Naruto straddled his thigh. The blond had one hand wrapped around Sasuke's neck as the other was busy playing with raven locks. Sasuke let out a few sounds of pleasure as the hand in his hair massaged and pulled just in all the right spots. It came to an end though when the teacher walked over.

"Uzumaki, it's your turn on the field!" she shouted. Naruto pulled back and pouted. He sighed and got up and off Sasuke's lap.

"My turn," he apologized. Sasuke smiled at him and stroked his arm.

"I'll be waiting for you when you come back," he said. Naruto smiled and kissed him one last time before hopping off the benches. He grabbed a stick from one of the guys switching out. He frowned a moment later though when he saw Sakura glaring at him from the side of the field. No doubt the girl had been watching him make out with Sasuke for the last fifteen minutes.

Good, she should be jealous...

Naruto tried to ignore her as the game began. Students passed the ball to one another, yelling and shouting. Naruto managed to hit the ball away from him as Sakura came just a little too close to comfort with her stick. Sasuke watched in silent rage as Sakura continued to try to intimidate Naruto on the field.

"Why won't that bitch just back off?" Hinata growled under her breath. Kiba put an arm around her waist to settle her down.

"Easy babe, we'll step in if she does something," he promised.

Hinata wrinkled her nose but leant back into his comfort. Sasuke though kept watching in rapt attention.

Naruto passed the ball to someone else and narrowly avoided a collision with Sakura again. The girl gave him a chilling glare as she passed him to take her side of the field. Naruto swallowed but took his position anyway across from her on the other side. The coaches whistle went off, and the next round began. Naruto was momentarily distracted as the ball whizzed towardhim and right past him between his legs. He turned quickly to go after it when his leg caught on something. He fell to the ground with a thud and blinked in confusion. He looked above him to see Sakura taking back her stick and smirking at him.

"Whoops, sorry Naruto, you're so clumsy," she mocked, walking away. The blond sneered at her as he stood and brushed off the dirt and grass.

"My clumsiness can be cured; unfortunately, your ugly face is another matter Haruno. Why don't you go fall down some more? I didn't get my fill in History today at what your soiled panties looked like!" He said right back, walking away.

She gave him an ugly look and clenched her stick all the more tightly. Without warning she rushed at him and raced toward him, blinded by her rage. She didn't hear the gym teacher yell at her as she approached the blond quickly. Sasuke stood from the benches so fast he almost slipped. He reached out a hand and quickly murmured something under his breath, eyes going black in his sockets. The hair on the back of Kiba's neck went up at the amount of hateful force Sasuke had just dished out and was now traveling across the field. Kiba felt something else besides Sasuke force, and it felt just as powerful. He looked around thinking it was Gaara, but it felt . . . too different.

The stick in Sakura's hand flew away, and she crashed head-first into Naruto. They both hit the ground clutching their heads in obvious pain, their skulls knocking together.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled, running down the benches and onto the field. Kiba and Hinata were hot on his heels as he sprinted across the ground. Kiba stopped halfway as he felt the much darker force vanish into the thin air. He tried to find it, but he felt and saw nothing.

Naruto clenched his teeth as he pushed Sakura roughly off him. He stood on shaky legs as Sasuke quickly steadied him.

"Are you all right?" Sasuke quickly asked, leading him away. He froze a moment later when he heard a scream behind him. Kiba's head shot back into their direction and his mouth fell open.

"You bitch! I saw what you tried to do!" Hinata screamed. She was on top of Sakura, straddling her stomach as she yelled and started hitting her. Sakura continued to scream as Hinata pulled her hair and punched her in the cheek. The coach ran over and nearly hauled Hinata off of Sakura.

"That's enough!" She yelled, throwing Hinata to the side. Kiba ran over and quickly grabbed Hinata before she could go for Sakura again.

"Calm down!" He whispered into her ear, holding her gently but firmly around her middle. She kicked a little in his hold but was careful not to struggle enough to hurt her boyfriend.

"I'm going to kick that bitch's ass once and for all!" She yelled. The coach helped Sakura up as the girl cried and grasped her bleeding nose.

"You mother fucker! White eyes freak!" She screamed at Hinata. The teacher grabbed her by the arm and hauled her back.

"Enough! Hinata reports to the Dean's office, Naruto stay here and Sakura gets to the nurse building and waits for me there. I'm personally taking you to the Dean," she hissed. Kiba sighed through his nose but gently coaxed Hinata along.

"Come on, we saw everything, I'll go with you to speak with him," he said. Sasuke held Naruto and watched the teacher drag off Sakura. Hinata held Kiba's hand as he walked her toward one of the main buildings. As he turned around he could hear Sakura screaming across the field at her friends.

"Ino! Sai! Where are you both? Get over here now!" she screamed as she was dragged into the nurse building.

Sasuke watched as Ino ran across the field toward her while Sai in a much slower pace followed too. He happened to glance toward Sasuke and took in Naruto's condition. He mouthed the word 'sorry' as he walked by them and headed toward Sakura's direction. The raven frowned and wondered why Sai would be hanging out with someone like Sakura in the first place. He wasn't much like Ino or Sakura and Hinata had known him for years. Sasuke brushed it off and helped Naruto stand up.

"Are you okay?" he asked softly, gently tracing the at the moment forming bruise on the blonds' head. Naruto gave a weak smile and winced as his fingers traced his currently tender head.

"Yeah, wish I could have gotten at her before Hinata though. I hope she doesn't get into trouble because of me," he said, watching his friends walk into the main building. Sasuke shook his head and started helping him walk off the field.

"If the Dean is a smart man he'll shut up and listen. Otherwise I'm going to call my brother and have some school funding cut," he mumbled. Naruto looked up in surprise at him.

"Oh, I forgot; you're an Uchiha," he said blinking. The raven seemed confused by the meaning.

"Yes, why?" he asked. Naruto smiled and shook his head.

"I just sorta forgot; that's all," he smiled sweetly.


Back with Sakura the gym teacher had dropped her off at the nurse and warned her to stay there. The nurse set to work on the girls face while Sai waited in the hallway. Ino had to leave because she had class, but Sai stayed. He was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed when he heard footsteps come down the hallway. He opened his eyes and watched a built teen walk straight up to him. Sai recognized the boy; he was one of Sakura's playthings.

"Hey dipshit, I told you to watch her! What is this, I hear she got her faced punched in? It's going around like wildfire around the school!" he yelled at the raven. Sai watched him calmly and chose instead to look at the floor.

"She made her own mistakes. I'm sick of watching her. You're her toy; you watch her," he said dismissive. The guy's face turned red.

"You!" he hissed. He grabbed Sai by the collar of his shirt and slammed him against the hallway wall. Sai gave him a long stare before he grabbed the other's wrists pinning him.

"Maybe you would like to join her in that office?" he threatened calmly. The other took one look at his face and was a little unnerved by the calm gaze.

"Maybe I should just throw you to the football team. I know every single one of them has at least slept with Sakura or Ino. Maybe they need a little bitch like you to be their new center of attention," the jock hissed in a smirk. Sai only continued to watch him calmly.

"Funny, I was about to say the same thing about you," Sai answered back. The jock watched confused as Sai closed his eyes and chuckled.

"But then again...Why do I have a feeling you already beat me to the punch? Do you like being on your knees that much like a little loose...Whore?" Sai smiled slightly this time. The other's face turned ugly, and he pulled one of his fists back.

"You fucking-!" he sneered. Sai only chose to watch as a large fist came straight for his face.


Sakura looked up with a scowl as the nurse's door opened. The male nurse attending Sakura looked up from his work and gasped in shock. Sai stood there with a calm expression as he dragged someone through the door. The built boy he carried gasped and wheezed as he bled all over the floor. Blood was running from his ears, nose and mouth as he gasped for breath.

"My god, what happen to him?" the male nurse worried, standing up from his stool. Sai watched as the nurse knelt down and started examining the boy.

"I found him in the hallway. It looks like he was in a fight with the football team again," he said. Sai stepped back as the jock coughed, sending a spray of blood to the floor. He looked up to Sakura and watched her face turn into shock. He smiled at her as she looked back at him.

"Accidents happen . . . I suppose," was all he said.
