I didn't die. . .

But school has!

. . .meaning I'm brain dead for the rest of the year and will be doing this and playing games.

Go me :]

"I said a back handspring," Sakura grouched. Sai, Karin, and herself were getting annoyed (actually the formers were just following the latter's emotions); not a single girl in this school could do a simple cheerleading move? This was ridiculous! They already went through several girls and not a single one of them could do this damn back handspring: it was a damn flip! It was just the ones people often did in pools, except this time they had to work with gravity! It wasn't as hard as they were making it, and Sakura was finished.

Well, until she saw a certain redhead. Man, was Pein hot. He was beyond hot; he was scorching! That cool demeanor of his instantly caught her interest and he was trying to play so hard to get. The new entry to this school was now one of the captains on the football team, alongside the twins: Madara and Tobi. And he was the top one at that! The way he made those plays made her heart flutter. She knew they belonged together: head cheerleader and the captain of the football team; a perfect match indeed. However, he was always clinging to that Hinata girl. What was his problem ― below the standards, much.

"I don't think I can do this," Hinata whispered insecurely.

"Just do it," the robot politely encouraged.

Sai looked down at the sign-up sheet and read off of it. "Hinata Hyuga. . .?"

He had no faith in her whatsoever. And to be honest, he didn't really like her either.

"Hey, Pein-kun." Sakura twirled her short locks as she made her way over to the disgusted man. She looked him up and down with a smile. He glared as she tugged on his baggy heather grey sweatpants. "These are cute, Pein-kun." She blushed and giggled ― he partially threw up in his mouth.

"That's disrespectful," he mauled with a grimace. She didn't take the hint. Pein's eyes widened evilly ― what was with her and the annoying act of twirling her hair?

"Um, so what are you here for?" He didn't roll his eyes, but instead looked over to his beloved and got this constant bewitched look in him, which made her blush ― however, Sakura was fuming! The evil cheerleader wrinkled her brow and stared at the shying girl. Did he actually see something in this girl? The freshman let her sage eyes scan her schoolmate: sweats on just like Pein's (probably got it from the school store), a plain green tee shirt, and her hair was in a regular ponytail. Seriously? He could do much better! "Hinata?" she called roughly, but polite enough.

Hinata looked up at her bashfully and spoke. "Y-yes?"

"Are you here to tryout?"

"I. . ."

"She is," Pein interfered. His mistress immediately turned red.

"Oh," Sakura doubted. "You know any basic moves?"

"Yes." When Hinata saw the question on her face, she finished off by saying, "Uh, I used to do gymnastics when I was younger."

That enthralled the android! No wonder she was so strong in her legs; it's because she used to practice gymnastics! Now it all makes sense! He thought back to when his masochistic attraction started when his hand faced the harshness of her strong legs. Pein began to get lost in his own world of his little darling in a skimpy cheerleader's getup, doing flips and stretches. Whoa; how much would her flexibility increase with this cheerleading. . . He would definitely help her with her stretches ― he would seriously help her with those damn stretches! One idea led to the next, and Pein found himself too excited to even stand anymore; he was forced to run to the bathroom, but before rushing off he hurriedly asked his shy princess if she'd like to join him. However, she realized that suggestive look and wasn't going to fall for it this time, even though it was very difficult. She was surprised when he didn't give her a hassle and it made her think about how the robot has been on edge lately. Nonetheless, she sighed in relief when he left the gym. Sakura noticed.

The head cheerleader let out a false chuckle and asked, "What was that for?"

Hinata didn't answer but instead looked down bashfully. Sakura wouldn't believe that she was simply happy that she just easily avoided sexual harassment ― but, the freshman didn't want her to get the impression that she was annoyed of Pein, which she did. The cheerleader couldn't wait for Pein to realize what he's been missing and dump this sad puppy. Hinata! Going out with a stud muffin? That's never going to happen or last if this cheerleader has something to say about it. Sakura smiled at her rival and said, "Let's get this over with."

Hinata smiled in return, not even knowing what was in store for her.

And while Hinata was walking right into the trio's evil trap unfortified and while Pein enjoyed himself in a public bathroom (mentally damaging every male who walked in there), three other mischievous minds where being brought together ― at least as close as they could get to one another.

Jiraiya really couldn't do much in a neck brace.

"So what was plan B again?" Jiraiya asked before letting out a sickly cough. Tsunade gave him a disgusted look.

"What did you tell Sarutobi-san again?" she asked.

"That I fell."

Real original. The blonde rolled her eyes.

"We need to catch this damn robot," he shouted, then laughed a little. "Excuse me, you two need to catch this robot."

Orochimaru scoffed. Tsunade gritted her teeth and ejected violently, "What?"

The pallid student ignored her, the same thing she did to him that faithful day.

Jiraiya shook his head at the two ― it's been weeks! "You guys need to make up."

"I don't even know why he's angry with me!" Tsunade objected.

Orochimaru just thought if she had a heart she would remember!

"Tsunade," Jiraiya started, trying to play therapist, "what did you get for Orochimaru on his birthday?"

"Nothing." Wasn't it obvious?

The white-haired guru sighed. "And Orochimaru, what did you―"

"A pack of her favorite alcoholic chocolates!" He partly stood up when he finished that sentence, getting more excited than he was supposed to. His colleagues where giving him astonished, disturbed looks. The trainee cleared his throat as he reclaimed his seat, closing his eyes with his eyebrow twitching.

"This is stupid," he calmly stated with arrogance.

Jiraiya continued to scowl from shock. "Right. . ."

"So," Tsunade breathily laughed out, which caught her partners' attention. "He's angry because I didn't get him anything for his birthday?"

Jiraiya nodded. "Precisely."

"Excuse me," she quickly pardoned herself and left the room. However, the two could still hear her hysterical laughing down the vacant halls. Orochimaru was astounded.

"Bitch. . .!" Jiraiya covered his face with a virile hand. He had to prepare for this rant that was coming up.

Back at the school, Sakura was emphatically encouraging the testee on everything she did: her flips, twists, and turns; everything was right. Sakura even called her perfect on a few occasions ― even though it was all a scam!

"Wait!" Sakura put a thumb to her bottom lip and misleadingly went into thought.

"I think we need another flyer. . ." Her face lit up when she looked up at Hinata. "Do you mind?"

"Um, of course not."

"Great!" She motioned Sai over to the mat.

"Now, just do a basic liberty and we'll be finished." A hidden smirk made its way to Sai who nodded in return.

Good! Things were going according to the plan. Hinata was now in the stance in the air, and any second now the short-lived ruse would be put into motion. Sakura happily clapped seeing her shy foe do everything correctly, even though it made her want to puke ― however, she hid her disgust with a façade of delight. She shouted a corny line in the sense of, "looks like we have a new cheerleader" and turned her back on the two and folded her arms in triumph as Sai pushed her up into the air. Everything was working out, and then she heard a short scream right before a thud. Perfect.

Only one problem: Pein wasn't supposed to be there.

Sakura's smile vanished when she saw Sai being hurled to the nearest matted wall with the redhead gripping his throat. She instantly began to fear for her friend's life! Sai was usually pale, but he was turning the ugliest blue right now. The head cheerleader screamed the quarterback's name trying to get him to let go of the male cheerer. However, the robot simply turned to glare at her and squeezed more life out of Sai. Sakura's sighed in relief when Pein dropped Sai with wide eyes. Sai's savior was in fact Hinata; when the android saw his mistress crying he immediately ran to her aide. And perfect timing, Kiba made an entrance.

The brunette busted in the gymnasium shouting, "Did I miss―Hinata?"

He ran over to his hurt friend, contorted with pain on the cold floor. "Oh. . .shit! What happened?"

Kiba saw her grabbing for her ankle and tried to touch it, but Pein punched him across the face as he warned to not touch her — that was quite the word of warning. The freshman grabbed his red cheek and glared at the robot that was now picking up an injured and crying Hinata. "What did you―"

"Shut up," he declared. Pein dismally looked down at Hinata in his arms and frowned when he saw more tears come out of her eyes. He was terribly angry with himself. He could have caught her and protected her from this pain, but he wasn't there. This mistake would not happen again.

Ever.

Neji gripped the wall so hard some of the paint chipped off.

As of now, most would label him of creeper status, but he would totally disagree! He was being the protective older cousin that many would love to have. Honorable enough to sneakily watch his hurt relative get dressed through a cracked door just to ensure her safety. Who wouldn't want that? However, it was truly killing him. Every article of clothing she put on herself seemed like it hurt; the way she did it so slowly made him tense up each time.

"Ow. . ." She winced as she pulled up her comfortable pajamas. This was terrible, absolutely terrible. And what was even worst was that she had two guys stalkingly watching her every move in order to catch any painful harms.

Wait? Two?

Neji couldn't take it anymore. He was getting sick and tired of standing there, watching and doing nothing. When he heard that little expression of her pain, he decided that it was time to take some initiative!

However, it seemed he was cursed.

Neji's eyes bulged out as far as they could. The agonizing weight that suddenly appeared on his back was the cause of that. He glanced up, just in the nick of time to see a redhead using him as his own momentum boost, but did not have time to stop the upcoming dire action.

Pein put all his force on the sophomore's back to get a good jump off that would get him closer to Hinata faster. He completely ignored the fact that since he had superhuman strength that his push sent Neji flying backwards.

Oh well.

"Are you okay?" he hastily questioned.

Hinata blushed and covered her chest that was merely concealed by a bra. And to top off everything, her pants fell around her ankles. She was sure that his intentions were nothing but moral. . .at first. However, when he saw her almost entirely naked he wanted that almost to go away. He tried to tell himself that this lust is what got her hurt the last time, but she was fine now, right? And the best part was that she couldn't get away from him with that sprained ankle. He realized something: God loved him, God loved him so much!

"Pein-san!" She pushed his hands away from the hooks of her bra ― well, she tried to.

He thought she was insane; she should want to be comfortable, and that means being in her birthday suit.

"I. . .I just put this on!"

"You'll be more comfortable this way," he conformed. His forehead creased at his active hands. It wasn't that the bra was hard to take off, she was just making it difficult! He was about to just push her on the bed and rip it off from the front.

But he thinks that would be considered rape. . .

No matter! By the time she's naked and he's naked (and after he pins her down), the non-consenting factor will have been lost in their sexual desires.

"Stop!"

The android stopped, Hinata stopped, and it felt like time stopped as well. Both stared at the doorway ― one embarrassed and the other frustrated as hell ― both looking at a fuming, yet worn out brunette with chips of white paint in his long, tangled hair. Neji was huffing and puffing, also holding on the wall to support his aching body.

"Leave," Pein warned. If he came any closer he was ready to give him the same warning he gave Kiba the day Hinata got hurt. No, scratch that; better yet, he'd give him the same Kiba got, a headlock, and a patch of missing hair.

Neji saw the fury in the humanoid's eyes and averted his whole presence as he walked over to Hinata and gave her a hand. Damn, she looked good ― lord, something was wrong with him.

To clear any suspicions, he wasn't sexual attracted to his cousin. . .he wasn't in love with his cousin, he just had a little infatuation with her that has been there since they were young, which grew when he hit puberty, and just laid dormant in him for some time now. Well, kind of dormant.

"Here, Hinata," he said, beginning to unsnap her bra.

"Neji-ku―"

"You're doing it wrong." Pein tried to move his hands and continue the same task.

"Stop." He pulled on the brassiere. "I got it."

"No you don't."

The android pulled harder.

"Yes. I do."

"Leave."

"You leave!"

"I'll kill you. . .!"

"Not if I kill you first!"

"Try it!"

"Uh! I hate you!"

It went back and forth! They didn't even realize they were playing tug-a-war with her bra, lunging her side to side and quite frankly, it all was making her dizzy and more distressed. The movement wasn't good on her ankle and to top it off, they ended up ripping her bra right down the middle when Pein preformed his grand-finale-of-a-pull tactic.

Everything went quiet ― besides the fact the Pein was breathing like an anxious dog as he cinematically stared at her unveiled bosom. Oh lord, it was like flesh balls from heaven fell right into his hands! By the way, he was holding them in order to stop Neji's perverted ass to stop staring at those. . .luscious. . .nipples! Damn, he was getting excited! This would be the first time he's held them in this rank. Picture perfect.

"P. . .P. . .Pein. . .san. . ." She was scared and felt harried. She was only thinking three things: get off of me, get off of me, please ― pretty please, get off of me. . .

"What the hell is going on here?"

There stood Hiashi Hyuga in the doorway watching with veins popping out of his temple. Man, he looked pissed. The look scared the shit out of all three of them ― actually, Pein was just staring with disinterest.

Even though, he still somewhat had control of the situation. He gave his nephew the evilest look when he saw half of a bra in his hands. On the contrary, the one who looked like he was ready to deflower his oldest daughter was the first one on his to-be demolished list.

"Pein." The android stared with awareness. "Move your hands."

Neji quickly handed Hinata her damp bath towel to she could cover up. Pein moved his hands hesitantly.

Hiashi looked behind him and grunted. "Who the hell ruined my wall?"

Pein and Neji pointed at each other.

"Neji, you have paint chips in your hair. . ."

"It was him!" Neji yelled, waving his arms toward the redhead. "He was the one―"

"I saw you banging your head against the wall," Pein justified.

He gave Pein the stupidest look. That's the craziest lie he has ever heard. He almost laughed until Hiashi and Hinata slowly turned their heads towards him in astonishment. His jaw dropped. They didn't actually believe him, did they?

"Neji-kun. . ." Hinata looked worried.

"You're insane," Hiashi said under his breath.

"You. . .you actually believe. . .?" He began to pull at his hair.

"See," Pein verified, "he's losing it."

"You bast―"

"Stop!" Hiashi yelled. "You're all grounded."

"What?" the three yelled, Pein the loudest and most angered. He wasn't even a relative!

"No phone calls, TV, computer, or any type of fun." He began to walk away.

Pein smirked. That didn't really affect him at all.

Hiashi poked his head back into the room. "Pein."

Pein furrowed his brow.

"I want that bag in the shed in two minutes." He pointed at the bag of weapons and left.

The android almost flushed.

He's dead.

Check in three days =]

Review please ^o^
