The First Kiss

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or anything else that may be spoken of within this fanfiction.

A/N: Hey guys, what's up? I am so proud of myself, I wrote this whole chapter in like two days so that it could be updated in roughly one week. Anyways, this chapter is going to be somewhat of a filler to bridge to the eleventh chapter, but still important so please don't skip it. I want to say thank you for the reviews, favorites and follows! I will be setting up a poll for everyone to vote on who they want to be president and vice-president but it will close by Sunday evening so you all five days. The person with the most will "win" the election. Alright, well that was all I wanted to say let's get onto the next chapter.

Warning: Characters may be OOC

The annoying trumpeting of her alarm clock woke Sakura up once again. This time, however, Inner did not make a big fuss over how loud it was. Sakura was sent a quick 'thank you' to the gods before stretching her stiff muscles and climbing out of the comfortable bed.

Sakura strolled over to her bathroom to take a quick shower. Suds ran down her toned, pale flesh as she washed her bubblegum tresses. Then, moving to her body, she lathered up her loofah and proceeded to scrub herself. She snatched her towel and exited the steamy washroom.

She trudged over to her closet and threw open the doors to find something to wear. Her emerald orbs scanned the array of shirts, shorts, jeans, jackets and shoes, before grabbing the desired ones. Sakura quickly dressed herself in her flowy white blouse and a black maxi skirt. On her feet were her black sandals, her small toes peeking out of them.

'I feel a little girly.' She mused with a small chuckle.

'Yeah, I am impressed you put something so nice on. I didn't even have to fight you. Congratulations.' Sakura's alter ego praised.

Sakura, then, moseyed to her bathroom to finish up her hygienic duties. She ripped open the drawer and gripped the handle of purple hairbrush and dragged it through her matted coral locks. The strands quickly began to give way straightening out.

She placed the hairbrush down moving to her toothbrush. Dipping it under the faucet, after squeezing toothpaste onto first, and then shoving it into her mouth. Sakura scrubbed her pearly whites leaving them shiny and minty fresh.

Pulling out her makeup case, she applied a light powder to even out her porcelain skin tone. Then, Sakura lined her expressive green eyes with an inky wet-liner. She attempted a winged line, although, it wasn't superb. Lastly, she applied on a light shade of pink to her lips giving them a small sparkle.

Backing away from the mirror, Sakura examined her work. A couple of one-overs and three turns later, she nodded her head in approval. She looked nice and actually felt good. She was never one for dressing up, but every once in a while, it renews her confidence.

'Woohoo! We look AMAZING! Those guys won't know what hit them!'

'Keep it down. I can't deal with your incessant screeching, witch.'

Inner didn't respond, she just grumbled some unintelligible words and then vanished. Sakura smirked in victory before turning to go down the stairs making sure to grab everything she will need for the day.

Sakura entered the kitchen, opening cabinets as she did so. She swept her eyes over the different kinds of food, thinking about what she wanted to eat for breakfast. Her viridian eyes landed on an oatmeal cup that had dried fruit in it and could be topped with granola.

Grabbing the cup, Sakura peeled off the lid and then ran it under the water. She did not fill it to the line completely because she liked to pour a little milk in it as well. Sakura placed the cup in the microwave for the cooking time, which happened to be forty-five seconds.

When the microwave beeped, Sakura pulled the oatmeal out and the aroma filled the kitchen. Its magnificent scent invaded her nose making her stomach groan in appreciation. Pulling a spoon out of the silverware drawer, Sakura stirred in a little bit of sugar and a squirt of honey to add some more sweetness to her breakfast.

Spooning the oatmeal into her mouth, Sakura moaned at the wonderful flavor. It was warm and rich and had all of her favorite fruits. The granola she had added a nice and appealing crunch to complement. This had to be the best morning meal that she had eaten in the past week!

Sakura had gotten lost in her in mind as she ate her breakfast that she hadn't even heard the car horn from outside her house. It wasn't until her front door began to shake as someone banged on it that she realized her ride had arrived.

"Sakura-chan! It's me, Deidara, yeah. I am outside!" the blonde Akatsuki member hollered as he jiggled the locked door knob.

'YEAH! We already have one! And, I bet the red-head is out there too!' the shadowy silhouette cheered in excitement.

'Oh, Kami. I forgot Itachi is forcing me to ride with someone until Thursday when mom returns, damn.' She mumbled in her head as she rose from her chair.

"I'm coming, Deidara. I'll be out in a second!" Sakura called picking up her backpack and tossing her cup of oatmeal into the trashcan as she went by.

The salmon haired beauty opened the front door and stepped forward instantly regretting so. Her lips came dangerously close to touching the pale pink ones of the Ino-lookalike. Which, of course, elated Deidara, he even leaned in to press them together. Sakura placed her hand in between their nearing lips her middle finger placed in the air.

'Why would you do that?!' Inner screeched in outrage.

"Yeah, I don't think so." Sakura voiced, her voice muffled by her palm.

"Why, un? Don't you love me, yeah?" he asked gazing into her jade orbs.

Sakura rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Of course, dear, I do love you. I simply don't want just anyone to take my first kiss."

Sasori was standing outside holding the car door open. She thanked him and sat down in the back seat with Tobi, who glomped her upon entering. Sasori and Deidara looked at each other nodding their heads before sending out a couple of texts.

The ride to Konoha Public School was relatively quiet as side from wheels against the asphalt and, of course, Tobi's endless stories, none of which made any sense. Sakura looked around the car, taking in the appearances of the men around her. Tobi looked the same, Deidara was wearing a black V-neck that gave a nice view of his toned chest and a pair of jeans. Sasori, on the other hand, was wearing a white three-quarter sleeve shirt with brown stripes and jeans.

She met the eyes of Sasori, he smirked and trailed his caramel eyes down her form. Moving them back up, he winked making Sakura flush in embarrassment. Not only was she caught staring. She saw him clearly check her out and give his approval.

"You look nice, Sakura." He complemented with another smirk not taking his eyes off of her.

"Nice, un? She looks amazing, yeah."

Sakura mumbled a quick, "thank you," a blush painted on her usual pale cheeks. She fidgeted under Sasori's watchful gaze.

The puppet-master smirked once more before turning to face the front. He sent another mysterious text to someone, which didn't go unnoticed by Sakura.

'I wonder who he could be talking to. I don't think I've ever seen him on his phone so much in the last week.' She questioned in her mind.

'I bet you he's texting everyone on how hot we are. Or, maybe, he's telling everyone we have yet to have our first kiss. OOOH! Maybe everyone will fight for us!' Inner clamored adrenaline laced in her voice.

'How would they know about me not having my first kiss, yet?'

'Because, genius, you told them. When Deidara tried to kiss you, you said 'I don't want my first to be taken by just anyone."

'OH, SHIT! They probably are going to attack me!' Sakura screamed out.

'Well, I can personally say, thank you. I want them to fight over us.' Inner replied before running away.

By the time Sakura had returned to the "land of the living", Deidara's blue Mustang GT had arrived at the school. Tobi, had to shake her in order for her to come back to her senses. Sakura's green eyes snapped up to the handsome faces of Deidara and Sasori. Both boys were giving her odds looks to which she flushed from.

"Sorry, guys, I was in my own little world. Thanks for the ride."

"No problem, Sakura-chan, yeah. I love getting to see you beautiful face more, un." The sculptor professed as he exited the car.

Sakura rolled her eyes and grin spreading across her lips. Shaking her head at his flirting, she followed his lead also getting out of the car. Tobi and Sasori did as well and Deidara locked the doors.

"Can we walk you to class, Sakura?" Sasori asked as he moved over to her.

The petal-haired girl turned to face him a look of contemplation etched on her pretty face. She mockingly placed a finger on her chin before a smile broke out and she burst into a fit of giggles.

"Oh, alright. I'd be honored if you fine gentlemen accompanied me to my homeroom." She jested looping arms with both of the artists. Tobi had, at some point, ran away.

Both of the Akatsuki artists grinned as they led her to class. The halls were a bustle with people commenting on her appearance or whispering about her lack of a first kiss. Although, Sakura didn't know that until some random person started to yell.

"The first one to kiss Sakura, gets to claim her as their own!" He declared before he ran up to ambush her, his cracked lips at the ready.

Sasori stepped in front of her, his fist extended. It collided with the obnoxious freshman and sent him careening to the ground. His handsome face set in a hard glare.

Sakura squeaked out in surprise, staring at his toned back. The red-head turned around a frown still plastered on his face. His caramel eyes flew to Deidara's and they nodded their heads, much like this morning. Sasori took his place on her right side and they continued their trek to Kakashi's. Bystanders gossiped as they passed and Sakura's cheeks burned.

'They don't have to protect me. I can do that on my own.'

The trio eventually made their way to Sakura's homeroom. They stood outside the door and Sakura thanked them hugging them each. Deidara tried to lean in for a kiss, just he did this morning. However, Sasori saw him and grabbed his ear dragging him to their own homeroom. Sakura snickered as she saw them go.

Turning around, she entered the classroom and was immediately attacked by Ino. The platinum blonde girl pulled her over to their desks an evil smirk painted on her ruby lips. Sakura felt fear arise in the pit of her stomach when Ino turned around.

"Hey, Forehead, is it true? You've never been kissed?" she questioned a smirk still gracing her face.

"Yeah, I mean I had one in like kindergarten, but those don't really count." The pinkette admitted with a shrug. "Why do you ask?"

Ino's devilish smile deepened and Sakura felt fear rise in her stomach. Before she had the chance to say something, Ino had already opened her mouth to shout it out to the world.

"Hey, guys, it's true. Sakura's never had her first kiss!" she hollered then busting out into a fit of cackles.

"You are the devil, Pig. You really are." The roseate grumbled sending a heated stare to her friend.

'YES! NOW EVERYONE WILL WANT TO KISS US!'

'That's not a good thing! I don't want them trying to kiss me! I am already confused as it is!'

Just then, Naruto bounced over to her a goofy grin on his face. He was most definitely going to be Sakura-chan's first kiss. Even if it was the last thing he did!

"Hey, Sakura-chan! How was Teme's house? Did you get lost? I go there almost every weekend and still get lost sometimes!"

Sakura met his cerulean eyes and nodded her head. "Yeah, Gaara and I got lost for a while. But, we found our way back."

The ball of sunshine took his seat and leaned into her. "I'm happy you found your way out! One time, Teme said there was someone who got lost for like three days!"

The roseate's face dropped. Someone had been lost for a three days? She never wanted to return to the Uchiha mansion again! She turned to face the handsome blonde, her lips coming dangerously close to hers. Just as Naruto was going to close the distance, Kiba walked up.

The coffee-haired man saw that Naruto was about to take Sakura's first kiss and decided to stop it. He placed his left hand right in the middle, making the blue-eyed boy kiss his open palm. Naruto pulled back spluttering and wiping his lips.

"Why would you do that, dog-boy? I kissed your hands and I don't know when you washed them last." He stated still wiping at his mouth.

"I can't have to stealing Sakura's first kiss, now, can I?" Kiba said as he plopped down in his seat next to the angel.

Sakura frowned at the both and shook her head. "I don't want anyone taking my first kiss without my permission."

The canine-lover leaned in, "Of course, Sakura, why do you think I stopped that imbecile. He was trying to take away your choice. However, I do think it is only fair to reward your savior."

"Nah, I'm good, thanks," she answered looking into his chocolate eyes.

Kiba moved in a little closer, still staring back into her viridian ones, "are you sure? I am all for it."

Sakura rolled her eyes, effectively breaking contact, "I am positive. I will choose who I kiss first and when I feel like giving it up. And, just because you won't stop, you may never get one." She drawled.

"Okay, Okay, I will leave you alone." He relented pushing himself back into his chair. He didn't want to push Sakura's buttons, in case she went through with that threat.

'Shannaroo! Damn it! Why do you have to ruin everything?!' the alter ego screeched. Sakura just rolled her eyes and focused on the front of the room, Kakashi had just strolled in.

The silver-haired teacher tried to give some stupid excuse as to why he was late once again, only to be shut down by his class. Rubbing the back of his head and crinkling his one visible eye, the homeroom teacher sat at his desk.

"Principal Tsunade will be coming on with the announcements any second now. She will explain any important stuff that may happen in the next month as well as state all of the candidates for student council positions." He announced before pulling out his beloved Icha Icha Paradise.

Sakura made a look of disgust along with every other female in the class. The boys had varying looks, but most looked appreciative of Kakashi's reading material, if you could even call it that. Sakura was going to make a comment, much like on her first day, the ding of the intercom resonated throughout the room and hallways.

Slight whispers and other unidentifiable noises could be heard before Tsunade started speaking. "Good morning everyone, I will be going over some of the things that will happening over the next month or as well as the nominations for president and vice-president. Remember, only seniors can be president and only juniors can be the vice-president."

Sakura sat patiently awaiting the names of the candidates, and the other announcements. She hated it when she was "out of the loop". She needed to know everything that happens in school.

"There isn't much going on in September; however, during October there will be mid-terms and that weekend we will be having our Homecoming. We will tell you more information as we get closer to date." The busty blonde informed the student body.

"Now, moving on, your candidates for student body president are: Pein, Uchiha Itachi, Akasuna no Sasori, Zetsu, and Konan. And the ones for vice-president are: Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuuga Neji, Nara Shikamaru, Kimimaro, and Tenten."

"Everyone will have until the end of this week to vote. Only one vote for each office per person. That is all, thank you all for your time." She concluded and with a click of the intercom the room began to bustle.

"Haha! I knew Itachi and Pein were going to make it!" Ino laughed high-fiving one of the other girls in the class.

Sakura turned to face Naruto whose face was downcast. "Is something wrong, Naruto-kun?"

The blonde boy with whiskers looked up from his desk and shrugged his shoulders. "I just don't know why I wasn't nominated."

"Umm, maybe it was your grades, honey. I think that's one of the first things they look at." She clarified rubbing his shoulder.

The exuberant ray of sunshine nodded his head and sighed. "Yeah, I'll just have to try harder next year. Thanks, Sakura-chan." He smiled and then grasped to walk to history.

Sakura returned the smile and stood, making sure to grab everything she was going to need for Kurenai's class. She had a presentation to present today and she was going to make sure she made an A!

The duo dawdled to class hand-in-hand. They conversed about their votes for the candidates and their projects. That was until an idiot came right up to Sakura and leaned down to plant a kiss on her plump pink lips.

Naruto pulled Sakura away from the man and growled warningly. "Don't ever try to kiss, Sakura-chan, you pervert."

He then pulled her to Kurenai's class sending glares to any and everyone who so much as looked at the pink-haired goddess. He had enough competition as it was, he was not going to accept more if he could help it!

The couple made it to class and Naruto finally let go of her small hand and gave her a small apologetic smile. Sakura nodded her head understanding, "thanks Naruto."

The cherry blossom placed a soft kiss on his cheek before turning to walk in the class. However, the kiss was noticed by some of the other guys who scowled at Naruto who, of course, had the dumbest grin on his handsomely tanned face.

"Sakura, are you ready for our project?" Sasuke interrogated glaring at his best friend.

"Yeah, I am ready. Are you, Sasuke?" she shot back flickering her jade orbs to his coal ones.

The elegant Uchiha bent down to her level his hot breath fanning over hers. They stared into each other's eyes with irritation evident of both of their faces. Although, upon noticing how close they were, Sasuke soon had another feeling swirling in black eyes. Something, that made Sakura flush and pull back.

'CHA! Why did you have to move?! I felt like he wanted to kiss us! There was lust in his eyes, I swear to you!' Inner roared disappointedly.

'L-lust?! Y-you pervert!' I am done talking you!'

Sakura's eyes scanned the room to avoid Sasuke's and clashed the sea-foam colored ones of Gaara. His was unreadable but his eyes looked like they were trying, unsuccessfully, to set the Uchiha on fire. Moving on, Sakura, met the eyes of Neji who was also glaring fiercely at Sasuke. She shook her, hoping that her ice-cubes would get over themselves soon. Kurenai had just walked in the door.

"Good morning, class. I hope you are all ready to present! I expect all great projects." She said taking out a pen and some paper and then taking a seat in the back.

"We will begin with Yumi, Laito, Yuriko, and Kankuro."

The group went up and did their presentation of the First Continental Congress. It was enjoyable because they had a skit and each one was a certain important historical figure. Next was Naruto, Ino, Hinata, and Temari. They did theirs over signing of Declaration of Independence. There were a couple more groups who went before the last one.

"And lastly, Gaara, Sasuke, Neji, and Sakura." Kurenai called out her vermillion eyes flickering to their group.

Sakura exhaled and grabbed her notes and flash drive. She plugged it into the computer and turned to face her group who were now standing up at the front. Thankfully, they didn't seem to be in bad moods anymore. In fact, they were doing a quick rundown of everyone's parts before Sakura clicked 'slideshow'.

Sasuke began off with a setting of the stage and atmosphere for the battles, then Neji gave a list of people and facts, then Gaara and Sakura came in with the conclusion of the battles. Needless to say, their presentation went over smoothly and without any sort of a hiccup.

When they got finished, Sakura jumped into Neji's and Gaara's arms giving them each a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek. She, then, walked up to Sasuke with outstretched arms. The onyx-haired male stared at her for a moment before also hugging her. She pressed her lips to his cheek and then took her seat.

'You should have made out with them!'

"Okay, class, we got done earlier than I anticipated so I guess you some free time. Don't make me regret it." Kurenai warned sitting at her desk to update grades.

Temari grinned and turned to Sakura. "Why didn't you plant one on those boy's lips? I can see why in my little brother, but the other two? Hot damn! You need your first to be with a hottie so you never forget."

Sakura's cheeks burned and she shook her blossom colored tresses. "I didn't feel like it, yet. Although, something tells me, I won't have a choice later. If everyone keeps trying to kiss me, I'll have to give it to someone so they will leave me alone."

The four-ponied girl nodded her head facing Hinata. "Who do think Sakura's first kiss should be, Hinata?"

The blunette blushed, "u-uh, I don't k-know. T-that seems like a c-choice for S-sakura-chan." She stuttered the redness of her face deepening.

"Yeah, Temari, that's my choice!" Sakura added giving her friend a look for good measure.

The dirty-blonde woman clearly didn't care, for she turned to ask the only other girl sitting near them. "What about you, Ino?"

The beautiful blonde grinned deviously before replying, "I think it should be Sasuke. I heard Karin had returned and it would be hilarious if you did it in front of her and she thought you were dating."

Sasuke had apparently heard the conversation, as did the other boys, because they turned to face them. Sakura noticed their gazes and blushed a bright pink. She hid her face in her arms and mumbled an "I hate you" to the loud azure-eyed junior.

Ino laughed off the statement along with Temari and Hinata, although, the Hyuuga tried to hide her snickers. Across the room, the boys were glaring at one another, mainly at Sasuke though. Since, Ino cast her vote for "first kiss" on him.

Sakura cheered when the bell rang. She was almost out the door, when Neji grabbed ahold of her arm, effectively making her stop. She whipped out to face him and instantly regretted doing so. The handsome brunette man was so close that their lips were less that a millimeter away from each other. She squeaked out in surprise and backed away some.

"I wanted to tell you, you look good today. The other guys thought so too, but, were afraid to say so." He mentioned his pale eyes looking into her own.

"T-thank you, Neji."

The Hyuuga male nodded his head and continued down the hall still holding Sakura's hand. The pinkette smiled and walked alongside him making comments here and there.

When they arrived to English, Sakura was immediately pulled into a tight bear-hug by Kisame. He grinned showing his sharp teeth and bended over to where they were eye-level.

He placed a chaste kiss on her forehead, "the next one will be on those lips of yours, Pinky." He teased before turning and walking into the classroom.

Sakura cleared her head and followed the fish-man into the room. Neji frowned, but, nonetheless, also went into the classroom.

Sakura had already taken her seat next to Shikamaru. The lazy genius peaked one ear open at her and took in her appearance. She was breathtaking and he knew everyone was out to be her first kiss, himself, included.

"Troublesome woman, you look very nice." He complimented sleepily.

"Thanks, Shika. I am surprised you noticed. I thought you were going to sleep all class period, again." She joked sticking out her tongue.

The lethargic junior felt bravery, or maybe stupidity, swell inside of him and he felt the need to make a joke as well. "Don't stick that tempting tongue out at me. It'll be your fault if I capture it."

The bubblegum-haired pixie choked on her spit, her face erupting into a vivid red once more. She couldn't believe Shikamaru would actually say something like that! It was a surprise, that's for sure.

'Shannaroo! HOLY HELL! I love it when they tease us back!' Inner acclaimed with a squeal that sounded much like that of a fangirl.

Shikamaru smirked and leaned in to prove a point, when Itachi stepped up. The older Uchiha sent a fiery warning glance to the genius and sat down behind Sakura. He exhaled and, from the close proximity, it fanned over her exposed neck, sending shivers down her spine.

"So, Sakura, who are you voting for?" he questioned his hot breath still fanning onto her sensitive flesh.

The roseate turned to face him, "I don't know, yet. But, you won't know anyway."

The senior narrowed his obsidian eyes at her in mild annoyance and pushed his nose to hers. "Well, my guess, is that you're voting for me and you just don't want me to know it."

Sakura rolled her eyes at him and turned back around, "yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy."

Her emerald orbs landed on Pein, who had just sat down. He was facing her with a sexy, she wouldn't ever admit that though, smirk on his lips. He just stared at her in a silent contest before turning back around. Sakura sent him an odd look at the back of his head.

'These guys are so weird.'

The class period was pretty quiet, that was, until Hidan busted through the door. "Hey, sexy bitch! I will so be your first fucking kiss. Consider yourself lucky, at some point today those lips will be tasting these hot ass ones!"

"No, they fucking won't! You're the LAST person I want to suck face, thanks." Sakura barked from her seat flipping him the bird.

"Whatever, hot stuff. You know, you fucking want to! Don't lie to yourself!" he howled taking his at the front next to Kisame. The two high-fived each other.

"Screw off!" she huffed praying that Kakashi would come in so they could get this damn class over with.

When the silver-haired teacher finally arrived, the rest of class went by quickly. Sakura jumped up from her seat with zest, when the bell rang. She quickly said bye to her friends and gave Tobi a hug. He two artists, again, walked her to class.

They arrived and sat down at their seats. Sai saw them and smiled his fake smile. He then proceeded to call Sakura ugly, again. Which sent both of her other tablemates into a frenzy. She just rolled her eyes, she was used to the nickname by now.

Anko showed up and explained that they were to be in the beginning stages of their sculpture. Deidara grinned like the Cheshire Cat and went to go get some clay in order to begin theirs. Sakura felt nervous of what he could do it, but, let yet gather up the supplies anyway.

While he was away, Sasori and Sai were starting the brainstorm their own. The alabaster male looked up from their list and met Sakura's watchful eyes. He again 'smiled' and opened his mouth to say something. She sent a silent prayer to Kami that he wouldn't insult her again.

"I hear you have never been kissed. How would you like it, if I was your first?" he questioned.

'I always knew he wanted us!' the cloudy figure stated matter-of-factly.

Sakura coughed from the question. "You're joking, right? You insult me all the time, why on earth would you want to kiss me?"

Sai shrugged, "I felt like it would be a nice competition. All these other idiots are fighting, why not join in?"

Sakura sent him another strange look and shook her head. "Whatever, go ahead. But, I am probably not giving it up at all today."

The black-haired male nodded his head and returned to his work with his partner, who so happened to be glaring at him. A few moments later, Sakura's own partner showed up and they began working. Deidara took control for the most part, but, that didn't bother Sakura. She enjoyed seeing him take pride in his hobby.

The class worked diligently until the lunch bell rang. Anko dismissed the class, reminding them that the project was very important for their grade and will essentially be their mid-term, since there are no test in her art class. Sakura bid her tablemates farewell and joined the girls outside. The three of them strolled to the cafeteria to get something to eat.

Sakura went over to the burrito line and got a nice chicken and rice burrito. She piled in vegetables and cheese and sour cream before paying for it. She made her way over to her table, although, it was fairly difficult. There was a like a million guys who tried to kiss her. She angrily had to tell them to back the hell off.

When she got there, she was tired and agitated, which her friends noticed. Naruto was the first to speak up, asking her if something was wrong.

"No, I am simply going to kill Deidara and Sasori." She sighed. "They were the ones to tell everyone I hadn't had my first kiss, yet."

"How did they know?" Tenten queried.

"They picked me up, this morning. Itachi said I couldn't walk to school anymore, until after my mom returned. So, everyday someone is picking me up."

"And, taking you home. If the Akatsuki is taking you to school, one of us will take you home." Naruto declared staring into her viridian eyes.

Sakura was about to protest, but Naruto had already turned to announce it to the rest of the table. She sighed in defeat and started to shove her burrito in her mouth, savoring the wonderful taste.

Lunch went by rapidly, Sakura didn't really say anything else, and she just listened to the other conversations. Most were on the candidates or possible plans for that weekend. The bell dinged signally the end of lunch, and everyone said their goodbyes until the next class they had.

Sakura sauntered to her math class and plopped down in her seat. She greeted Kakazu, however, he didn't say anything in return. The mask-wearer just inclined his head to hear to indicate that he even heard her. The coral-headed girl didn't say anything else, just pulled out her textbook and notes.

She saw Zetsu walk in and waved to him. Surprisingly, the dual-toned man, came up to her. He took Hidan's usual seat for the moment and sat down.

"Good afternoon, Zetsu." She greeted with a bright smile.

"Hello, Sakura." He returned gazing into her green eyes.

"How has your day been?"

"Fine, tiring though. I heard everyone wants to be your first kiss."

"Oh, yeah, that is Deidara's and Sasori's fault. I accidentally let it slip and they couldn't keep their pie-holes shut." She grumbled frowning when she spoke the two best friend's names.

"Well, what if I told you, I too wish to be your first kiss." He said leaning his head down and placing his forehead against her.

'Shanaroo! Hell, yes! C'mon, kiss us!'

Sakura flushed from the closeness. Zetsu began to try and close the distance but was stopped when a coin hit him in the face. Turning around, Kakazu was glaring at the two of them his hand semi-outstretched, as if he threw something.

Zetsu glared back, but, took his leave when he saw Hidan and Kisame. The other two Akatsuki members plopped down in their assigned seats. And then decided to give Sakura crap. Hidan started twirling her salmon locks in his fingers and placed a kiss on her hair. Kisame growled out a warning, before stroking her cheek.

Sakura sighed for the umpteenth time that day. She loosely hugged them back. "You guys, are wearing me out. I swear I've aged at least twelve years in the last week."

"Yeah, well, you fucking love us anyway. You know you couldn't survive without fighting with us assholes." The amethyst-eyed Jashinist smirked with a wink.

"We make your life interesting, Shorty. Just like you make ours." Kisame piped with a pointy grin.

Sakura shook her head, a smile breaking out. "It's true. You drive me crazy, but, I love you anyway."

The two obnoxious and boisterous Akatsuki members chuckled. But, let her go when Asuma strolled in. They didn't want to make her angry if the tan teacher decided to call them out on their relaxed public display of affection. Just as they released the pinkette, the math turned around to begin the lesson.

The rest of Advanced Algebra 2 dragged on like nightmare. Sakura had to resist the urge to angrily bang her head on the desk. Asuma was making the already boring subject, unbearable. He was talking about crap she already knew, but, she was paying attention anyway. She diligently wrote down notes, until the ding of the end bell.

Sakura stretched and said she would see everyone, except Zetsu, in PE. The roseate, trudged to her creepy science class. Something about Orochimaru just bothered her.

'Maybe, because he looks and acts like a pedophile.' Inner deadpanned shivering due to the thoughts of the pale Biology sensei.

'True or not, that's not something we should say about our teacher.'

'Sweetie, they are all weird. You know that.'

During her and Inner's squabbles, Sakura had arrived at Advanced Biology and stepped in. Suigetsu and Kimimaro made their way up to her. They both wrapped their arms around her and placed a kiss on each one of her cheeks.

A moment later, they let her go and greeted her properly. Kimimaro kindly said hello and that she looked wonderful. Suigetsu said she was hot and that he wished he could stare at her forever. Sakura flushed at their comments greeting them too. She then walked to her seat.

She sat down and her friends joined her, eventually. They gossiped until Orochimaru walked in. His face screamed, "I am not in the mood for you to be an idiot."

Orochimaru-sensei went around collecting everyone's homework. He, then, went up to the class and began his lesson for the day. It seemed like a review over some of the things they went over yesterday and last week. He added emphasis on the 'S' of every word that started with one.

Sakura, didn't feel like taking any notes, since she already did. Her notes were impeccable and she knew she wasn't going to need anymore. So, instead, she settled for just listening to him talk.

When class was over, Sakura felt like changing up her routine and instead opted to walk to PE with Suigetsu and Kimimaro. She held out her hands for them to grab hold of surprising both of the boys. However, they did not object and walked with her to the gym.

The trio arrived to the gym and Sakura parted ways with the two boys. She ran to get dressed but was stopped by an angry Karin. The red-headed bitch had tape on her nose, presumably to keep it in place.

'Not this whore again! Quick, punch her in the face and get it over with!'

"Look, what you did to my beautiful face! You fucking slut!" She screeched stomping up to Sakura.

The petal-haired fairy frowned. "You should know better, than to insult someone I care about. I don't take kindly to bitches."

The bespectacled girl grinded her teeth together and raised her hand to slap Sakura. The pinkette glared back unflinching, just a stony stare into the red eyes of Karin.

The scarlet-haired woman shrilled once again before stomping away to get ready. "You're not worth my fucking time!"

Sakura rolled her eyes and quickly changed into her uniform. Part of her hoped that Karin would slap her. That way, she would have every right to kick that bitch's ass, again. Nonetheless, Sakura stormed out of the locker room, throwing her hair into a bun.

She sat down on one of the bleachers, next to Hinata and Ino. She really just wanted to be by some girls today. They conversed as they sat about various topics mostly about the hordes of boys that are obsessed with Sakura.

While they talked, more and more people filed into the gym. The boys began yelling about her first kiss once again, making Sakura roll her jade orbs. They weren't going to leave her alone were they?

As the roseate began to think of ways she could get this madness to end, Karin stomped out of the locker room. Noticing that, once again, everyone was talking about the new pink-haired dwarf, she growled out.

"I am available for a first kiss, if you all want." She offered getting in a position she assumed was sexy.

The entire gym was gagging from her attempts to be seductive. The thing about Sakura was, she didn't have to try. She was compelling and beautiful on the outside and the inside.

Gai-sensei and Lee burst in the scene before anything drastic could happen to the red-headed slut. The energetic physical education teacher ushered both his clone and Karin off the court and to their side of the bleachers. Karin flipped off Sakura as she sashayed up the steps, almost missing a couple.

The spandex-wearing teacher explained that today was going to be a free day for everyone to do anything they wanted. Sakura almost kissed him. Today looked like it was getting brighter. She continued to stay where she was and pulled out her notebook. She also grabbed a pencil and began to jot down ideas for stories.

Sakura wrote the entire class period, it wasn't until Konan dragged her back into real world, that she realized that was how she spent her PE class. Blushing, she mumbled a "thank you" and placed her notebook and pencil in her bag. When she started writing it she can lose herself in the words.

"Sorry, I get carried away."

"It is okay, can I read your stuff, sometime?"

Sakura grinned, "Absolutely. I just need finish and edit it and I would be honored to let you check it out."

The azure-haired Akatsuki female nodded her head and took Sakura's hand. The two went to get dressed. They came back out and Sakura was ambushed by some of her guy friends.

"That's it! Sakura-chan, you need to kiss someone today! We're all going crazy!" Naruto demanded shaking her.

"Okay, Naruto, I will kiss someone." She sighed. "However, I want everyone to close their eyes until further notice." She negotiated.

The gentleman nodded their heads and closed their eyes. Each one prayed that they would be the one that Sakura chose. The pinkette walked over to the person she had picked and she dragged him to the center of the gym. She warned him to be quiet, finally she told everyone they could open their eyes.

In the middle of the gym was Sakura and none other than, Tobi. She giggled and lifted his mask, just enough for his lips to be visible. She lightly pressed hers against his. Her cheeks tinged a slight pink and she pulled away putting the mask back.

'WHY, OF ALL THE MEN, DID YOU CHOSE THIS ONE?!' Inner shrieked enraged.

The gymnasium was so silent you could hear a pin drop. For a few moments no one said anything. No one moved. But, all of a sudden, realization donned on everyone and a murderous aura settled in the room. All of the men's attention was on the orange blur.

"Tobi, yeah, you better run, un!" Deidara hollered running towards the mask-wearer. Other boys were hot on his heels.

Tobi giggled and then scurried away shouting, "TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!"

Sakura chuckled and grabbed her backpack from the floor. She grasped Gaara's hand and looked into his eyes. He looked a little angry that he wasn't the one who was Sakura's first kiss.

"Would you like to drive me home, Gaara-kun?"

The crimson haired junior nodded his head and the two strolled out of the school together. He drove her home and said good night. Before Sakura let me go, she gripped his cheeks and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. The usually emotionally constipated red-head flushed a dark red.

"Thank you for taking me home, Gaara." She whispered and then stepped out of the car.

Sakura walked up to her house and locked the door behind her. The evening was fairly boring, Sakura watched some TV, made her dinner and completed all her homework. Crawling into bed, the roseate snuggled in a blush on her cheeks from her first and second kisses. She briefly wondered, how many she will have before the end of the school year, before closing her viridian orbs for a restful night sleep.
