Love or Chaos?
Chapter 9: Swimming?!

"I can't do this!" Sakura exclaimed. "Sakura! You've been saying that since school started this morning!" Tenten said. "D-don't worry Sakura-chan, I'm s-sure that you'll be fine." Hinata added.

Sakura sighed. "I really, really can't swim! Can't I just skip class?" Tenten shook her head. "I'm sure you can learn it sooner or later anyway." Sakura sighed for the nth time. "Oh well, at least Lee is teaching me…" Tenten stopped walking. "Speaking of him…"

"Hey Sakura-chan! Tenten, Hinata!" Lee exclaimed. They smiled at him. "Hey Lee." Sakura turned to Tenten and Hinata. "Bye guys!"

"She looks happy with him, doesn't she?" Tenten said to Hinata. "But I t-think she l-looks better with S-sasuke." Hinata said. Tenten nodded. "Yeah. She looks better with him." She said.

"Who looks better with who?" a voice behind them said. They turned around and gulped. "U-uum w-well y-you s-see…" Hinata stuttered. "It's nothing!" Tenten exclaimed and pulled Hinata with her to the girl's locker room to change. Sasuke raised his eyebrow.

He unconsciously clenched his fist when he saw Sakura with Lee. They didn't change yet and it looked like they were having a lively conversation. He smirked and went to the boy's locker room. Not for long…

Minutes passed and Sasuke still didn't leave the locker room. "Sasuke-teme get out already! Class is about to start!" Naruto exclaimed. Sasuke glared at him. "I don't want to." Neji smirked. "Of course, girls will be all over him."

Sasuke gave him a death glare. "Shut it, Hyuuga. You're lucky you don't have the same problem." He said. "Yeah I know…and I wouldn't want to be in your shoes either." Neji said. Before Sasuke could reply…

"Huh? How can you be in Sasuke's shoes? Ha! I get it! Sasuke has a big foot! Haha! Nice one Neji!" Naruto exclaimed laughing. The other two sweatdropped. "You're such a dobe, dobe." Sasuke said, rolling his eyes.

"I'm not a dobe you teme!" Naruto shouted. "You know I agree with Sasuke this once." Neji said. Naruto gave him a pout. "What!? Not you too!" he exclaimed. Neji sighed. "You know that I was just using figurative language when I said that don't you?"

Seconds passed in silence. "Uhh…" Naruto began. Sasuke and Neji sweatdropped again. "How did you even get in this school, dobe?" Sasuke said. Naruto glared at him. "I am smart for your information Mr-I-know-everything! Smart! S-M-R-T!"

Sasuke and Neji looked at each other, with eyebrows raised. Naruto, realizing his mistake… "Ahh! I mean S-M-A-R-T! Hehe…" he said, scratching his head. Neji sighed. "Lower your voice, Naruto. You're too loud."

Naruto pretended to cry. "Whaa! I'll tell Hinata-chan!" he said, as if scaring them. Neji and Sasuke looked at each other and smirked. "You like her don't you, dobe." Sasuke said. Naruto stared at them in shock, a tint of pink visible on his cheeks.

"No I don't!" Naruto said defensively. "Yes you do." Neji told him, smirking. "No I don't!" Naruto said again. This went on until they heard a loud voice from outside. "Class will start! Please be quiet!" Gai shouted.

Naruto, Sasuke and Neji proceeded outside the locker room. Just as Sasuke had expected…

Many girls rushed to him, eyes bulging at his muscular body. He rolled his eyes, noticing many (if not all) of them staring at his six-pack abs. The reason why I hate swimming…

Looking over the girls swooning around him, he saw another crowd, about as large as the one surrounding him…although this was a crowd of boys instead. He caught sight of something pink in the middle. Sakura…

"Uh sorry I have to go…" Sakura said to the boys gathering around her. She tried to get away from them but to no avail. Unbeknownst to her, Sasuke was making his way to her 'crowd' when…

"Please keep quiet!" Gai shouted. Too bad no one listened to him…poor Gai-sensei. He sighed. "Uchiha! Haruno! Please stay in the two lanes at the left side of the pool." He said.

That got everyone's attention. Gai smiled and continued. "The rest, stay here and we'll have a discussion first." Gai finally said. Girls glared at him and Sakura, while the boys sighed disappointedly. Sasuke smirked.

"Gai-sensei! Sakura-chan said I could teach her how to swim!" Lee said enthusiastically. Gai smiled at him. "Thank you for helping Lee!" Gai beamed at him. "Okay. Lee, Sasuke, Sakura, please go now. Sasuke, you can help miss Haruno if you want to as well." He said and turned back to the rest of the class who groaned.

So Sakura walked to her assigned place, with Sasuke trailing behind. Lee was still going to the locker room to get changed. (because he was talking to Sakura earlier…when she went to the girl's locker room, he helped Gai with something.)

Meanwhile…Sasuke was looking at Sakura's back. (ha! I wonder why xD) She was wearing a pink bathing suit…a two piece to be exact. He didn't like the way it showed to much of her skin. What were the other guys thinki- wait. Why did he even care. So what? It wasn't his problem…right?

Soon, both of them were in the water. Sasuke turned to her. "I thought you were scared." He smirked. She rolled her eyes. "Of course I only will when I'm in the deep part of the pool where I can't swim."

"Hn." He said as he started walking to the other side. "Hey! Wait for me!" Sakura said. She had to take big steps to keep up with him. Unfortunately for her, she didn't notice the sign that said 5ft and a meter next to it was one that said 7ft…

"Ahh!" Sakura shrieked…well no one heard her because she was already sinking and her head was already under the water when she 'tried' to scream. Not knowing how to swim, she panicked and wagged her arms desperately, hoping to reach the surface.

Her chest was tightening intensely and she didn't have air left inside her mouth. Well she didn't even have any to begin with. All she had was the water she gulped when she shouted earlier.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms circle around her and bring her up. Out of instinct, she gripped the person's shoulders. Muscles and broad shoulders? Sakura thought. When she reached the surface, she instantly panted for air. Only when she breathed normally again did she see who was actually holding her up.

"S-sasuke!" she exclaimed as she pushed him away. Well she certainly forgot one thing…

She instantly grabbed him again to prevent herself from sinking. He smirked at her. "Scared?" She glared at him. "Of course not!" but her heart was beating so fast and she felt her face burn…because of fear? Yes…but I guess there was also something else…

"Don't panic. Just keep on moving your arms gently. Then you'll float." Sasuke said. Sakura sighed. "Easy for you to say!" He took her to the part in the pool where she would be able to stand…which happened to be less than a meter away…oh the embarrassment xD

There was an awkward silence between the two. Then someone came swimming to them. And that someone happened to be wearing hideous green spandex swimsuit…

"Sakura-chan! Do you want me to start teaching you now?" Lee exclaimed. Sasuke smirked at him. (LoL if he wasn't Sasuke he would be laughing his heart out…) Sakura just chuckled nervously. "Ehehe. Sure Lee." She said.

Then to Sasuke's relief, Gai called them over. "We will be playing a game of tag." Gai finally said. Everyone groaned and proceeded to the pool. "Rika, you will be the first 'it'." Gai said to the girl. Sasuke flinched when he heard him say that.

No…anyone but her. He thought. Rika is a beautiful girl with hazel eyes and long brown hair that reached her mid-back. Well others thought that…Sasuke on the other hand thought that she was just a conceited type of person who wears really thick make-up and wears too many accessories.

Another reason why he didn't like her was because she is part of the 'The Sasuke Fan Club' not to mention one of their leaders. "Hey Sasuke, are you okay?" Sakura asked him, waving her hand in front of his face. "I'm fine." He replied and continued walking to the pool.

Meanwhile…

"So what did Gai-sensei want?" Ino asked Rika. She smirked. "He said that I'd be the first 'it' for the game." She said smugly. "No fair! You get to tag Sasuke-kun!" other members of Sasuke's fan club who were listening to her said.

Rika shook her head smirking. "Nope. I've got something else in mind."

Author's Note: Hey guys. So what do you think Rika has in mind? Gah I know it's quite a bad cliffhanger and a very easy guess…sorry about that. I just got up from bed…with cough and fever. Heh I was too bored just lying down with nothing to do so I decided to update…I'm also about halfway done with the next chappie xD

Thanks for the reviews guys! I'm glad you like it! Don't worry…more SasuSaku fluff later on xD although you guys might hate me in the next chapter…LoL. You'll find out why soon enough xD

Chapter 10: Getting Better

Since I already wrote some of the next chapter…here's a sneak peek: (this is why you'd probably hate me, by the way xD)

"Someone do CPR!" Gai shouted, running over to them. Lee's hand shot up. "I will!" he exclaimed. He bent down and closed his eyes, Sakura's lips only a few inches away.

He finally made contact…he opened his eyes, and it wasn't Sakura in front of him…but the floor. (eww he kissed the floor xD poor Lee…)

He looked at Sasuke and his eyes widened. Closer…Sasuke's lips were just an inch above hers. Everyone around seemed to be holding their breath.

Just then…

Hehe till next time!
