"Sasuke-kun!" Sasuke tensed.

"Kill. Me. Now," Sasuke muttered out each word.

Gaara looked at Sakura and her best friend/rival, Ino, as they tried to get Sasuke's attention. Sasuke's head suddenly turned, "Oi!" he yelled standing up, "Stay away from my sister!" this got all the girls to fangirl as Sasuke went to protect Hinata from some boy.

Naruto looked at Gaara, who just shook his head. The overprotectiveness Sasuke had for Hinata is what drew the fangirls towards him. Also his looks, but that wasn't the point. Iruka suddenly walked in, "Alright, everyone take your seats-Sasuke, what are you doing?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Nothing…" Sasuke said, dropping the boy he held by the shirt.

Sasuke took his seat in between his brothers while Sakura and Ino sat behind them, "I'm serious," Sasuke hissed to Naruto, "You better be over that crush of yours."

Naruto rubbed his head, "I think I'm halfway past it," he said.

"Alright!" Iruka yelled, "You will all be divided into groups of three and be assigned a Jounin teacher. Group 1…" everyone pretty much tuned out until certain names were called.

"I swear if I get stuck with one of these fangirls…" Sasuke muttered.

Gaara smirked, "Watch it happen now that you've stated it," he whispered.

"Group 7!" Iruka called, "Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke," the two smiled/smirked at each other, "And Haruno Sakura," Sasuke's face met the table while Sakura cheered out loud and Ino complained.

"Told you…" Gaara snickered.

"I hate you…" Sasuke muttered looking at him.

"Right," Gaara said, "And Naruto hates ramen."

"Oi, don't even joke about that," Naruto hissed.

"Group 8!" Iruka continued, sending three of his children a look, "Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino!"

"Why the heck is Hinata-" Sasuke's face met table again, "The Universe hates me…"

Naruto and Gaara snickered, "Group 9!" Iruka continued, "Fuuki, Hitomi, and Gaara!"

Naruto and Sasuke blinked, "Who the heck are they?" they whispered.

Gaara nudged his head towards two girls. Sasuke and Naruto blinked, "Uh…right," Sasuke whispered, "Um…"

Gaara rolled his eyes and looked at his teammates. He didn't know them very well, but then again, he didn't really know anyone other than Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, and Neji. Gaara let out a soft sigh. This was going to be interesting.


Sasuke was drumming his fingers on a desk, "Did Sensei tell us who our teacher would be?" he asked, "Because he's late."

"No," Sakura answered, "Do you think something happened?"

"Doubt it," Sasuke answered then noticed his brother doing something, "Naruto…what are you doing?"

"What does it look like?" Naruto asked jumping off the chair and snickered.

"I thought Sensei broke you of your pranking," Sasuke stated.

"Uh, yeah," Naruto said, "But I'm bored and they're late."

"Point," Sasuke smirked.

"They're not going to fall for something as stupid as that," Sakura said annoyed.

"I wouldn't be too sure on that," Sasuke snickered, "Naruto catches Kakashi all the time."

"Eh?" Sakura asked.

"I think someone's coming," Naruto hurried over to the other two.

The door opened and the eraser fell on him, "Kakashi-jiji!?" Naruto yelled shocked.

"…Naruto…" Kakashi said slowly.

"Err…Kakashi…sensei?" Naruto asked.

"Much better," Kakashi smiled.

"So you're our teacher," Sasuke stated, "Should've known. You're always late."

"Is that anyway to speak to your teacher?" Kakashi asked with fake hurt.

"No," Sasuke admitted, "But you were our babysitter first."

Kakashi sighed and Naruto burst out laughing. Sakura just stood there. Well, she felt out of place, "Alright," Kakashi said, "We're going to make this quick. Since I know Sasuke and Naruto and their goals, why don't you tell us about yourself, Sakura?"

"Uh…well…I…" Sakura glanced at Sasuke, "Er…nothing really to say…I guess…"

Sasuke sighed. He didn't miss her glance. Kakashi nodded, "Alright," he said, "Then I want you three to meet me at six in the morning at Training Ground Three. Got it?"

"Hai," they said.

"Good, oh," Kakashi said as he walked out the door, "And don't eat anything. Iruka even knows so don't try to trick him boys."

"Hai…" Naruto and Sasuke stated.

Kakashi left, "Well, at least we have a teacher we already know pretty well," Sasuke said to Naruto.

Naruto nodded and jumped off the desk, "Hey, wanna go check on Hinata and her team?" he asked.

"Yes," Sasuke said instantly and fast walked to the door.

"Sasuke!" Naruto hurried after him, "Overprotective bas-ow!"

Sakura blinked. Maybe this wasn't going to be as great as she thought….


A woman stood in front of Gaara and his new team. She had long black hair that she had tied up on the side of her head in small bun with a large gravity defying loop over it, but strands still fell to her waist, and her bangs came to a point between her annoyed red eyes. She wore an outfit that resembled a kimono top and was mostly white with red details all over; from the mesh in between the open kimono top with red trim, the red flower in a circle outline emblazoned on right sides, the red gloves and belt that both had gold details, to the thigh length mesh leggings she wore under a gray with red trim skirt. Her shoes were red, and her legs were wrapped up to her knees; and on her back was a giant folded shuriken, "Alright," she said, "You can call me Akikazu. Let's start by introducing ourselves," she looked at Gaara, "You first."

Gaara leaned back on his hands slightly, "I was born in the Hidden Village of Sand," he stated, "Lived there till I was seven then came to live and train here as part of a treaty agreement between Suna and Konoha. My father is the Kazekage. My name is Gaara."

Akikazu nodded, "Next," she looked at a dirty blonde haired girl with deep green eyes.

"My name is Fuuki," the girl said, "Nothing really to say. Born here. Raised here," she shrugged, "Really boring life so far."

Akikazu sighed then turned to the dark brown haired girl with matching eyes, "And you?" she asked.

"Hitomi," the girl said, "Um…I don't really think I have anything to say…"

"Are you sure?" Akikazu asked.

Hitomi nodded, "Alright," she said, "Then we'll meet back here tomorrow at noon. Don't be late."

"Hai," the three said.

Akikazu nodded and walked away. Gaara stood up and readjusted the gourd on his back, "Isn't that thing heavy?" Gaara looked at Fuuki, "What's even in it?"

"Sand," Gaara responded, "And it's not heavy."

"Gaara!" Gaara turned and saw Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata, "We're going to get Neji and Iruka-sensei is taking us out for ramen! Come on!" Naruto yelled.

"Coming!" Gaara yelled then turned to Fuuki and Hitomi, "I'll see you tomorrow I guess."

Gaara walked up to his family and smiled as he was dragged away by Naruto.

A/N Students meet teachers. I only focused on Naruto and Gaara's meeting because theirs were going to be different. This story is still a while until it's over. I hope you enjoyed. Please leave a review! I own nothing!
