Ukime: Here, and you're not answering me! *I've been making a man with blonde hair and a tan. And he's good for relieving my tension!*

Megami: I hate playing any type of Tag, especially message tag...

Ukime: You were here, you just weren't answering me. It's not tag if you're not participating.

Megami: I said I hated it, and beside maybe I was eating

Gaara: You were eating...

Megami: I know.

Ukime: I didn't.

Megami: *huggles the Ukime* I love you! Did you see my chapter title?

Ukime:... It makes me happy. XD

Gaara: You need happiness, by the way, where is Neji?

Megami: Running from Ino's 'innocence'

Neji: I'm here, I'm just staying quiet.

Gaara: *Singing I want Candy dead in background*

Ukime: Gaara, I love you XD

Gaara: I will kill you with my eyeliner

Megami: XD

Ukime: But I like anyone who's wrapped in a sweater.

Neji: Well, isn't that kinky?

Megami: Sadly we don't own this song, just like we don't own Naruto. All I want is your candy!

Gaara: I'll kill that bitch too.

Ukime: Anyway, review!

Neji: She will love you forever. Literally.

Megami: They can't reveiw until they've read it...

Gaara: Then get reading!

Ukime: I got a little ahead of myself. XD Read, I meant!

Chapter 10-Matsuri Pancakes

Ino was bored in her class, although she didn't see how, Sakura was passing her notes, Tenten was texting her, both braving the teachers wrath. Not that she would say anything. Konan was teaching them, she recognized Ino and Tenten and even though she now knew Ino had lied about Hidan, she didn't care. She also knew Ino's power now, and that explained it all. As Konan wrote down the homework a sense of agitation swept over Ino, she wanted to kill someone. She felt the need to mutilate someone to death, it was gone as soon as it came and she shook her head. She needed food, she hadn't eaten all morning. Thankfully she had first lunch and was happy to note it was with Tenten and Gaara, Neji as well. Gaara waited for her after class and took her hand. A mousy brown haired girl passed them clutching a notebook to her chest and Ino felt the urge to mutilate again. Gaara raised an non existent eyebrow at her and she raised innocent blue eyes to him. He gave her an unbelieving look. Neji and Tenten watched the entire thing. Neji decided to break the moment.

"I would like to know when this developed..." He said. Tenten nodded in agreement.

"I'd like to know that too." She said. Ino looked back.

"I like it, but I also wanna know when it started and whether or not I wad drunk." She said. Gaara smirked.

"You were sober, but I think maybe it started when you decided to slip into my mind and link us. That is acceptable right?" Gaara asked. Ino nodded.

"I guess that makes sense." She said. Neji nodded as well.

"That seems reasonable. But when was it official, cause if I remember your were both quite single when you separated last night." Neji said, taking a seat in the usual place. This time a person with blueish skin and dark blue hair came over.

"Wild berry smoothie for me, Strawberry Banana for her, He'll have strawberry and he will have a sprite." Ino said pointing to herself, Tenten, Gaara, and Neji in that order. Neji didn't question her knowing his drink choice. The man left.

"So, when did it officiate." Tenten asked.

"This morning, in the clo-"Gaara started and Ino slapped her hand over his mouth.

"In the hallway when I introduced him." She smiled. Neji and Tenten didn't need to know about the closet. She recalled the feeling of Gaara's breath on her face, and his lips only a centimeter away. She lowered her hand from his mouth and tried to block the image. She heard Gaara chuckling, obviously she wasn't fast enough to keep it from him.

Tenten could sense that Ino hadn't told the truth, but she didn't really care enough to confront her. The waiter with blue skin came back with their drinks and Tenten noticed the mousy girl staring in their direction.

"That girl is staring at Gaara." Tenten said to Neji. Sprite went everywhere. Neji started coughing, so Tenten hit his back. He cleared his throat and pulled a napkin from the dispenser.

"What was that about?" Ino asked, looking incredulously at Neji.

"What was what about?" Neji asked, putting the wet napkin next to his half empty cup.

"Your spewing!" Gaara death glared at Neji. Neji laughed softly.

"It's nothing." Gaara stopped glaring, but Ino saw. She smacked Gaara's arm.

"What is it?" She yelled. Tenten laughed.

"Yeah, Neji. Why did soda come out of your nose?" He turned to her.

"It didn't come out of my nose, it came out of my mouth."

"Neji Hyuga, tell me or I will cut you." Ino said, grabbing a near by fork.

"I'm more scared of Gaara than I am of you. No offense, Ino." Ino turned her glare to Gaara. He lifted his hands in a symbol for surrender.

"Tell me."

"She wants Gaara inside her." Neji said before Gaara could interject.

"What?" Ino yelled, looking at the mousy girl as she left the cafe.

"She wants to have Gaara's sand babies!" Tenten shouted, making the waiter look as he apporached to take their orders.

"Um, have you decided?" He asked, looking at Tenten.

"I know what I would like." Ino said innocently. The waiter sighed. Finally, a normal one in this group. He pulled out his notebook and pen.

"What would you like?"

"I would like a dead Matsuri with a side of pancakes drizzled in her own blood!" Ino shouted. Gaara snickered. Neji looked horrified. Tenten laughed out loud. The waiter nodded slowly and walked away towards the manager's office.

"Thank you, Neji. Now we're going to be reported." Gaara mumbled. Ino was still fuming. Tenten was choking on her smoothie. The manager approached their table, making himself look important by hooking his belt loops with his thumbs.

"Do we have a problem here, folks?" Ino grabbed a napkin.

"No, sir. Not at all." She said through clenched teeth.

"Well, an employee of mine just came in. Kisame, you know him? Funny guy with blue skin. He came in, fearing for his safety and the safety of the other patrons. Is there a reason for this?" He puffed out his chest and raised his chin.

"Nope. I don't see why he would." Ino said, not wanting to talk.

"You ordered a dead pancake covered in Miyuki. How does that make sense?" Thank God for the waiter's horrible order-taking skills.

"I only asked for a muffin." Ino said, crossing her arms. She was getting pissed. Gaara put a hand on her shoulder. She calmed a little. The manager leaned on the table, almost elbowing Neji and Gaara in the noses.

"I have cameras, young lady. I could have the Feds on you before you swallowed another gulp of your smoothie." Ino looked at him with innocent blue eyes.

"I understand this, sir. I also understand that you have been having marital problems, and are now choosing to take your frustrations out on poor patrons. I believe you got sued last month, did you not?" Ino said all this, blinking innocently.

"You wait, young lady." He smiled. He got up, elbowing Neji.

"Hey there, Zeus." Neji said as the manager started walking away. "Why don't you take your superiority issues down a few notches and leave us the Hell alone. She ordered a muffin. But, apparently you didn't hear her, considering you have a substantial amount of ear hair that is intertwining with your incredibly disgusting toupee."

That got them kicked out.

"Good going Neji." Gaara said holding Ino, she was on the verge of passing out from not eating. They hadn't ordered anything besides coffee for breakfast. Neji nodded.

"Your welcome." He said sarcastically. Ino glared at him.

"I might just eat you." She said.

"I thought you wanted Matsuri pancakes." He said innocently. She glared harder.

"I do, but your looking mighty tasty right now." She said. Tenten stepped between Ino and Neji.

"Okay children, that's enough." she said.

"It's fine, he's going to the principal to quit now." Ino said as the manager walked past them on his way.

"Who'll run the cafe now." Tenten asked.

"His son." Ino said pointing to a Man with orange hair and piercings galore. He motioned them back inside and took Kisame in the back to talk. "He understands our humor. He's had a crush on Konan for a few years now. He wants Hidan pancakes." Ino said taking her place on the window side of the table. A few minutes later the new manager brought over a chocolate chip muffin which Ino narmed with a viciousness that matched if not surpassed a wild jungle cat's. The new manager smiled.

"My name's Pein. Nice to meet you. I hope my old man wasn't a bother, ain't been the same since Mom cheated on him with a younger man. He wont bother you again." He said and walked away. Gaara watched Ino tear into the muffin. She was vicious, way more then yesterday, or Tenten noted silently, the day before. When she finished she wiped her mouth daintily and sipped her smoothie. Neji looked slightly scared.

"First Matsuri pancakes now a mutilated muffin. Your perfect for Gaara." Neji said. Ino looked at him over her cup.

"Your only now figuring this out?" She asked innocently. Neji decided he didn't like her innocent voice, it promised trouble.

Neji watched Ino with caution. Her face showed innocence, but it was a lie. He sipped is sprite in silence. Tenten snapped her fingers, snapping him out of his stake out.

"I'm sorry, what?" Neji blinked and looked at her. She shook her head and sighed.

"What is your next class?" She asked.

"Sexual Education, unfortunately." He said, sighing. Why they needed to learn about sex, he didn't understand. Tenten laughed out loud.

"What?" He asked, looking at her.

"We all have sex ed together. That' not going to be awkward." Thoughts of condoms and bananas popped into Neji's mind, and he shook them off. He looked at Tenten, and only God knew what she was thinking. Well, possibly Ino. She gave Neji a look and laughed out loud.

"What?" He asked. She snorted obnoxiously and looked at him.

"I'll give you a hint. It involves bananas." Neji's face flushed and he looked out the window.

"What a blush." Tenten said, poking Neji. He averted his eyes, keeping them in the other direction. Today was not his day. After he thought this, the bell rang through a little speaker and they headed to their last class.

Hidan looked around the room, scanning the faces of his soon-to-be victims.

"First thing you need to know about sex, if you're not safe, you're screwed."

"Oh, Lord." Neji whispered under his breath. Tenten snickered and elbowed him. His side tingled where she touched him, but he tried not to think about it too hard.

"To start things off, you'll have partners. Guys, reach into the hat and pull out a name." He started at the end of the row, where the boy named Sai sat.

"Tenten Adachi." Neji had a strange feeling in his stomach, and he sudden;y hated Sai. What was going on?

'It's called jealousy.' He heard Ino's voice. He looked at her. She winked as Gaara picked out a name.

"Ino Yamanaka." Figures. Neji, not really caring any more, reached into the hat.

"Sakura Haruno." The hat found it's way to every boy, until Hidan took the hat back to his desk.

"Now, get with your partners. We'll be doing some... Ice breakers." He said, laughing. Neji sighed and went to the annoying rosette.

"Hi, I'm Sakura!" She said in an annoying pitch. He hid his wince.

"Neji." She nodded.

"First off is the balloon exercise." Hidan said handing each couple a balloon. Neji was not looking forward to this. "Place the balloon between you and your partner, on your pelvis." 'Jesus,' Neji thought. "If the balloon pops, some of you boys are a little too excited to be in this class." Neji sighed.

Neji was ready to shoot himself in the face and splatter his brains across the ceiling by the end of the class. Ino, whose face was still red because her and Gaara's balloon had popped, heard Neji's thought and laughed out loud. Since Neji had been so unenthusiastic, he and Sakura had passed the tests with flying colors. Much to Neji's disappointment, this meant that they had to stand at the front of the class and finish the final test.

Neji stood there, holding a condom. 'If there's a banana, I'm going to asphyxiate myself with it.' Neji decided. There was no banana, also no Sakura.

"What exactly am I doing here?" Neji asked, holding the condom awkwardly.

"You are holding the most fragile condom created. It was created for this purpose. If you open the condom without tearing it, you'll be able to use any." Neji's face flushed.

"You may begin." Neji stared at it, not really wanting to open it. So, instead, he gave up. He started opening it, ripped it in half, and dropped it on the floor.

"Sorry, Sakura. I guess I can't have sex with you. I'd be too rough." Ino and Tenten burst out laughing while Sakura blushed and every girl in class giggled. Neji took his seat, cheeks the color of tomatoes.

Megami: FIRST! I loved the ending of Neji's chapter.

Gaara: The sad part is he could have opened that without ripping it...

Megami: O.o you know this how?

Neji: Because I ripped it on purpose... They're really not that fragile.

Megami: I know that. Anyway, I love this song!

Gaara: I wonder why, the name of it is Suicide ride...

Megami: XD I am a strange person! *All Shut up and watch my suicide ride*

Ukime: Nooooo! XD No suicide for you!

Megami: Actually it was in a manga and the person singing is actually talking to someone about to commit suicide. *Poor thing* See , talking to the person about to jump XD

Ukime: Haha, okay.

Gaara: *changes song to body talk* Review and I will sing to you!

Megami: No you wont, I wont let them hear your seductive voice.

Neji: Just review...

Ukime: Doooo ittttt!

Gaara: So gracefully unaware that she is the brightest girl this boy has ever seen!

Megami: No!

Ukime: XD
