On Monday~
Ino and Kiba~ Ino's Fanboys
And we now join are favorite blonde and dog boy in there beloved gym class, with there favorite teacher Guy.
Yeah right.
"Alright my youthful students! Today we are playing a youthful game of dodge ball!" Guy told everyone as he did his signature 'good guy' pose. All he got in response where groans of annoyance.
"But Guy-Sensei! Shouldn't we make the game more of a challenge!?" Lee shouted as he stood next to Guy. Everyone in the room (- Kiba) glared at him.
"SHUT UP LEE!" the all yelled.
"What a wonderful and youthful idea Lee! Fifteen laps around the gym before we start!" Guy told everyone. Lee opened his mouth to protest that it was far too easy but the glares of his not-so-youthful classmates stopped him.
Everyone got up and waited for Guy to tell them to start there laps.
"And GO!"
After the fifth lap around the large gym, Ino was panting for air and thinking of just skipping a few laps and saying she was done.
"Hey." Ino turned her head around to see Kiba jogging next to her with a smile on his face.
"So I was thinking today for the game, you watch my back and I watch yours?" Kiba asked her. Ino gave him a grateful smile and nodded her head.
"How can-huff- you not be-huff- tired of all this-huff- running yet?" Ino asked him breathlessly.
"I run a lot and Lee and Naruto are very active people, so all of us Suna Rejects have to keep up with them. So good old Lee and I could do thirty laps and not even break a sweat." Kiba told her.
"Ohh, Neji, Tenten, and Sasuke-puff- are the active ones in the-huff- Konoha Royalty-puff- Hinata can run pretty fast and far though." Ino told him.
"Don't worry, we only have a lap more, then you can collapse to the floor." Kiba told her. Ino could only look at him in surprise. She never runs for this long. She would normally just say that she did fifteen laps when she only did eight.
"'Kay, where done now." Kiba told her as they slowed to a stop with about ten other kids. Ino put her hands on her knees and gulped in as much air as she could. Kiba only watched her and laughed.
"You're not much of a runner are you Princess?" Ino could only manage to give him a half hearted glare that made him laugh again.
Soon the game started.
"Ino! To your right!" Kiba shouted as a dark green dodge ball came flying at Ino which she neatly dogged away from thanks to Kiba's warning.
Ino sent him a smile and called that a ball was coming at him to his left.
The way that Ino and Kiba where working together only made Ino's many fanboys more jealous. How dare that dog talk to there Ino!
"Keep your eyes off our Ino!" Three boys shouted at once at Kiba before all three threw there ball at him. Kiba only barely managed to get away from the rubbed balls. The fan boys smirked as they got an evil idea in there heads.
"Kiba! Watch out!" Ino cried out as she saw the five dodge balls being thrown at Kiba.
Kiba twisted and turned to escape the dodge balls but only a second after the first five where thrown, seven more came. And more after that- again and again, a wall of dodge balls were thrown at Kiba mercilessly and all Ino could do was watch in amazement and worry as he spun and moved his body to try and avoid contact. In fact, Ino wasn't the only one watching.
Most of the girls where watched as the wild boy with odd marks moved quickly to avoid the never ending rain of rubber balls. Lee watched in amazement a pride as his friend moved quickly to have the balls just barley miss him.
But, finally, one of the balls did hit him and others soon followed. Arm- leg- chest- face- shoulder- led again- hip- arm- chest. Again and again the dodge balls hit him, most likely leaving bruises because of the force that they were thrown.
Guy soon blew on his whistle to stop the game and the balls stopped hitting Kiba. Lee wasted no time in running over to his clearly wounded friend and asking if he was alright.
Ino soon followed after Lee to make sure her knight in shining armor was alright.
"Kiba! Are you hurt?" Ino asked him. Kiba looked at her and gave a weak smile.
"Don't worry about me Ino; I can take care of myself pretty well." Kiba told her in a tight voice, clearly in pain.
"-and I can not believe that my class would act so un-youthful to poor Kiba! Every one of you boys well run twenty-five laps around the school!!" Guy ordered all of the boys.
"Guy-sensei, may I take Kiba to the school nurse? His wounds are most un-youthful!" A worried Lee said to Guy. Guy looked over to see Ino sitting next to Kiba who had dodge ball sized bruises beginning to form and knew that he would need some ice on them.
"Alright Lee. You can take your youthful friend Kiba to go and get those bruises fixed up!" Guy told his most favorite student.
"Thank you Guy-sensei!" Lee said before running over to Kiba and Ino.
"Come now Kiba, Guy-sensei is allowing me to take you to the nurse's office." Lee said to his friend as he and Ino helped him to stand.
"Do you think Guy would mind if I went with you too?" Ino asked them. She felt so guilty about Kiba being attacked by her fanboys.
Lee looked over at Guy to see that he was making everyone of the boys do fifty push-ups and fifty sit-ups before they did there laps around the school.
"I'm sure he wouldn't mind much youthful Ino-san." Lee told her.
And with that the two lead Kiba to the nurse, one of his arms draped over there shoulder as he stumbled between them.
"I-I thought you weren't into doing hard labor Ino. . ." Kiba said to the panting blond.
"I guess I'll make an exception for you Kiba." Ino told him with a smile. Kiba could only smile at her.
On Tuesday~
Tenten AND Neji~ Fan Boys? Since when?!?!?!?!?!?!?
"Oh Tenten you look so beautiful today!"
"Tenten-chan would you go on a date with me tonight?"
"What?! If Tenten-chan is going on a date with anyone, it's going to be me!"
"Oh as if! It's obvious that Tenten-chan and I were made for each other!"
"Tenten-chan would never love you! She clearly loves me!"
On and on and on!
Tenten's fanboys had followed the two after school that Tuesday and there non-stop complements where driving both Neji and Tenten crazy.
"On three we make a run for it at 1 o'clock." Neji whispered to Tenten quietly so that the boys didn't hear them. Neji saw Tenten give a small nod. He then reached over and taped her hand once.
"Oh, Tenten-chan, you're the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!"
Neji tapped on her hand a second time.
"Hey! Why did you just touch my beautiful Tenten's hand?!"
Three. Neji and Tenten then shot out of the crowd of boys and ran like bats out of hell. They head cries of protest from Tenten's new fanboys but they ignored them and continued to race each other to the hill side that Neji and Tenten always went to. After about fifteen minutes they had stopped and sat back to back with each other as they tried to catch there breath from running for such a long time.
"I hate fan boys!" Tenten panted out. Neji had a sour look on his face as he glared at the long green grass next to him.
"Same goes here. . ." he muttered under his breath. Tenten gave him an odd look threw the corners of her eye.
"Careful Neji, you almost sounded jealous!" Tenten joked as she laughed. Neji on the other hand had realized his mistake and was blushing slightly.
"Well you always have wondered why I ignore all my fan girls, now you have your answer." Neji joked with her.
Ohh, and how right he was. Tenten had always wondered why Hinata and Ino and the others had always turned there fan boy and fan girls down- but after only two days with fan boys- she was starting to regret letting Sakura, Akio, and Amaya do that make-over on her. The boys follow her everywhere! One of them had even tried to kiss her after he had cornered her in the hallway. She had never seen Neji so mad! But, if she managed to get Neji to fall for her, then it is worth it.
"Well the fan boys are goon and it's just us." Tenten breathed out in relief.
"Yeah." Neji said. The two sat together in comfortable silence.
"Hey, have you, um, heard of the dance that's coming up in a few weeks?" Tenten asked him. If you looked closely, you could see a small tint of pink on her face.
"Yeah, why?" Neji asked her. Everyone had heard of the dance by now. It was the Year Endings Dance. It happened every year about two weeks before summer vacation for all the high school students. For year 12's it was one of the biggest dances of all there high school years. Like prom, homecoming, Valentines Day Dance, Winter Dance, and the Sakura Day Dance all in one. Why? Because it was the last high school dance they would ever go to.
"Well I was wondering if you were going to take someone this year." Tenten said. For almost every dance for the past four years Neji and Tenten had been each others dates. Neji said that he would have rather goon with his best friend then with one of the fan girls. But this year might be different. Tenten has options for her date this year and Neji's fan girl number is the largest it's ever been.
"I was actually-"
"Tenten? Is that you?!" the two nineteen year olds turned to see four people walking over to them. Well, three were walking, one was running.
Tenten gasped as she saw the older man. He had long dark golden blond hair that was in a half up- half down style and had long bangs hanging over his light blue left eye. He was older the them by three years tops and was in a red long sleeved shirt that had one black and silver cloud on it and black jeans. Neji's eyes widened as he realized who this man was.
Deidara Iwa. A legend at there school for making a homemade bomb with an unknown girl and succeeding in blowing up not one- not two- not even three- but five classrooms with it. He is a member of the Akatsuki and graduated two years before them. He is about twenty-one now and hasn't changed a bit.
"Dei!" Tenten yelled in joy as she got up and ran the few yards to the blond and threw her arms around him. Deidara hugged her tightly and Neji felt anger and jealousy hit him.
The other three caught up with him and Neji recognized them easily.
Sasori Akasuna. Another member of Akatsuki and know for making life like puppets of people. He graduated the same year as Deidara and has semi-long blood red hair and dull brown eyes. Rumor around the school before they graduated was that Sasori and Deidara had been a couple and both had never either rejected or denied the rumor.
Hindan Yuga. A member of Akatsuki that was known for his hot temper and foul language, also for his Jashin beliefs. He has long silver hair that he keeps sleeked back and purple eyes. He was wearing the silver amulet that he always dose and is about twenty two now.
Kakuzu Taki. A member of Akatsuki that had tattoos of stitching covering his limbs. He is greedy about money and would normally flip if someone charged him something more then ten dollars. He has messy brown hair and bright green eyes with no pupils. He graduated with Sasori and Deidara and was the same age as Hindan.
"Tenten? What are you wearing?" Deidara asked her as he looked over her baby blue with purple butterfly's shirt and white skinny jeans and hair that wasn't in the normal buns that he was so use to.
"I let my friends do a make-over on me and this is what you get." Tenten told him. She looked back at Neji and smiled at him before grabbing Deidara's hand and running over to him with Deidara in tow.
"Deidara, meet Neji Hyuga. Neji, meet Deidara Iwa." Tenten say with a smile.
"How do you know each other?" Neji asked her.
"Tenten and I go way back! Our parents were good friend so we've been together since as long as I can remember!" Deidara said with a smirk/grin to the Hyuga.
Neji's only reply was a small 'hmm'. Tenten looked at the brown haired boy curiously and sat next to while pulling Deidara down with her.
"Hello again Tenten." Sasori said to her.
"Whoa! Tenten, when did you get that fucking HOT?!" Hindan asked her with a wide grin on his face.
"Good to see you again Tenten." Kakuzu told her.
"How do they all know you Tenten?" Neji asked her. Neji had never known that Tenten would hang out with- let alone talk- to the Akatsuki.
"Well . . . funny story actually." Tenten told him nervously.
"Tenten was the one that helped Deidara blow up the classrooms." Sasori said for her. Neji turned and looked at Tenten with hard eyes.
"After she did that, her fine ass started to hang with us for a while." Hindan told him.
Tenten blushed deeper as Neji's eyes stared at her.
A cell phone went off and Kakuzu answered it.
"Hey. . . Yeah, we just stopped to chat with Tenten for a few. . . No. . . . You should see her! She's girly. . . I know! I didn't even recognize her at first. . . Yeah. . . See you in a few." Kakuzu then hung up and looked at the Akatsuki members.
"Pain is having a heart attack as we speak after I told him about Tenten and we got to go." he told them. Sasori, Hindan, and Kakuzu got up and said there goodbyes to Tenten. Deidara gave her a tight hug before running after his friends.
Neji still stared at Tenten and she stared at the ground.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Neji asked her after a long silence.
"I didn't think it mattered." Tenten replied.
"You blew up a peace of the school and you never told me." Neji told her.
"I didn't thing it mattered. . ."
They then fell back into silence.
"Oh and by the way. . . Deidara and Sasori are boyfriends so you don't need to get jealous." Tenten teased him.
What she didn't know is that Neji felt a shit load of jealousy fall off him.
On Wednesday~
Akio and Lee~ Silently Suffering.
"Why hang out with a loser like him, when you can get with a guy like me?" the blond haired boy asked Akio.
Akio gave the boy a glare. Honestly, Lee and I can't even go on a date with out these boys following us! I think I liked it in Suna better!
"I'm with Lee because I like him and he's my boyfriend. Now if you'd please let us continue with our date?" Akio asked the boy. The boy gave a sigh and walked away
Akio looked at Lee to see him looking sadly at his feet.
She grabbed his hand and held it tightly.
"I'm sorry about him. Don't worry Lee; you're the only guy for me." Akio told him. Lee gave her a small smile and they continued on there walk through the park.
Amaya and Sai~
"So are you and Akio still joined at the hip?" Sai asked her.
Amaya gave him a small but playful glare from over her sketch pad. They were sitting out side under two close trees drawing each other. It was an assignment in there art class to draw there partner in anyway that they wanted and, of course, they were picked together.
"No. Since Lee came around Akio has been spending every waking minute with him. To tell you the truth, I miss the closeness we once had with each other." Amaya told him sadly. She is always so open with Sai, and she never seams able to NOT tell him how she feels. But, it's always been that way with them.
"Sorry about that. I know how close you two are." Sai told her. He looked down at his paper and saw the drawing that he had made of her.
It was a frame portrait of her face, with everything in shades of either blue or white. But he had made her eyes a shocking purple and it made them stand out. She had a slight smile togging on her lips and her eyes were soft. The area around her was mixes of dark and light blues. He face was drawn to every detail and could pass a photograph and not a drawing done by hand.
"So how have you adjusted to live in Konoha?" Amaya asked him. She made one last sweep with her pencil and looked at her finished drawing.
Sai was sitting under a tree and had his sketch pad in his lap like he always dose. On his face was a calmed look and the area around him was long green grass and the shadow of the tree. The sunlight was making small spots of light on him and the grass and the picture was a fully colored one. The drawing was very detailed, as if she had put no effort into drawing it at all, and really, she hadn't. She had drawn Sai so many times that in was natural for her to draw him.
"It's alright here but I missed you guys like crazy." Sai told her.
Amaya gave him a small smile and a light pink blush came to his cheeks.
"Umm, Amaya?" Sai asked.
Amaya looked at him to show that she was listening.
"You see, there's this one dance called the Year Endings Dance. It's a pretty big deal around here and, well, I was wondering if you-"
"Sexy Lady!" a sudden call came from the side walk and laughter came from the group of boys.
Amaya glared at them and turned back to Sai.
"Sorry about that. Those boys are always doing that. What were you saying?" She asked him.
"N-Nothing. Nothing at all." Sai told her as he looked down and pretended to continue drawing.
Amaya sighed and started putting more detail into her drawing.
On Thursday~
TemariXShikamaru~ Fangirls, meet Temari!
"Shikamaru-kun, you're so handsome!"
"Shikamaru-kun, would you want to date me?"
"Shikamaru-kun? Are you listening to me?"
"Shikamaru-kun I love you!"
"Hey stay away from my Shikamaru-kun!"
"YOU'RE Shikamaru-kun?! He's mine!"
"You bitch! He loves me!"
Shikamaru sighed as his fan girls continued to fight with each other over who he loves more. He was supposed to meet Temari here for a date, but she chose today to be late for ten minutes and his fangirls managed to find him.
He sighed again as two girls latched onto his arms and started making these annoying little girly sounds. 'Where is that troublesome woman when I need her?'
Another girl wrapped her arms around his neck and started cuddling into his chest.
"Well, well, well! You never told me you were this popular Shika." Shikamaru sighed in relief when he heard her voice and the fangirls quickly moved aside to look at her.
Temari stood there with her arms crossed and her hair in her normal pony tails. She had on light blue torn jeans and a long teal shirt that could have been worn as a very short miny dress.
"And who would you be?" one of the fangirls said in a high pitched voice.
Temari gave a grin and said, "I'm Temari. Shikamaru's girlfriend."
The fangirls gasped and looked at Shikamaru with tears in there eyes.
"Please say it isn't so!"
"Please say she's lying!"
"Shikamaru-kun please!"
"NNOOOOOOOO! You can't like her!"
"I don't like her, "Shikamaru said. The girls sighed in relief, "I love her." he finished. The girls gasped and one started to cry.
"Now if you girls well stop harassing my boyfriend, we have a date to go on." Temari told them.
The fangirls glared at her and some had the nerve to say under there breath words like 'Bitch' and 'Slut' but they left soon after Temari got impatient and gave them her infamous 'look of death'.
Shikamaru wasted no time in giving Temari a long thank you kiss before they continued on to there date.
On Friday~
HinataXNaruto~ Protective Family!!!!!
"Wait, so was it this guy or the other guy that made the thing?" Naruto asked Hinata. The two were at the public library doing work for there history project that Friday at lunch time since it was an early release day.
"A b-bit m-more s-specific Naruto-kun." Hinata told him as she tried to figure out what he was talking about.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head and gave her an embarrass smile.
"Sorry Hinata-chan. I told you I was bad at this stuff." Naruto told her. Hinata gave a small giggle at his child like behavior.
"I-it's alright N-Naruto-kun. I could u-use a b-break from t-this a-anyway." Hinata told him. Naruto let out a happy sigh and leaned back in the chair. But he leaned back too far and ended up toppling over. Hinata giggled at him as he got up and leaned against the table.
"I meant to do that." Naruto told her as he tried to play it cool. Hinata could see that his face was a bright red though and couldn't stop laughing.
"I-I'm s-sorry Naruto-kun, i-it was just *giggle* s-so f-f-funny." Hinata told him as her giggles died down.
"It's alright Hina-chan! Lets go and get some lunch, I'm starving!" Naruto then took her hand and led her out of the library.
After about ten minutes of walking they came across a ramen stand called Ichiraku's Ramen.
"You'll love the ramen here Hina-chan!" Naruto told her as they walked in.
"Hi Naruto!" the young girl behind the counter said with a smile to Naruto. She had semi- long brown hair with slightly spiked bangs and brown eyes. Hinata noticed how the girl was staring at Naruto with a dreamy look on her face as they sat on the stalls across from the girl.
"Hey Ayame! I'll have an extra large bowl of beef ramen. Hinata-chan, what would you like?" Naruto asked her. Hinata blushed lightly as Ayame looked at her for the first time. Hinata saw jealousy flash threw the girls eyes as she looked between herself and Naruto.
"I-I'll have a small b-bowl of chicken r-ramen p-please." Hinata said quietly. Ayame looked at Hinata coldly one more time before giving Naruto a warm smile and told him that there meal would be done shortly.
"D-Do you c-come here often N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked him.
Naruto nodded at her with his usual grin in place. "The old man says that I'm the best customer he's ever had." Naruto told her.
"S-so how do y-you l-like Konoha so f-far N-Naruto?" Hinata asked him.
"It's pretty cool actually. I like it better then Suna actually." Naruto told her.
"W-Why is t-that?"
"In Suna I was made fun of all the time because I had these things on my face- I couldn't help it. I've had them on me since I was born. There like a really weird birthmark- and because I didn't have parents and all. In Konoha people still give me funny looks about the marks like they do for Gaara and Kiba, but its better then at Suna. At least no one is calling me a demon." Naruto finished with a smile on his face but Hinata could still hear sadness in his voice.
"I-If you d-don't mind m-me a-a-asking . . . h-how d-did your p-parents die?" Hinata asked him quietly; half hoping he wouldn't hear her.
"My mom died after I was born, so I never really knew her. I saw pictures of her from my dad and I don't look a lot like her but my dad use to say that I got her personality. She was a tomboy and a prankster when she was younger and, like me, her favorite food was ramen. My dad didn't talk about her much though; I still think it was hard for him to.
"I look a lot more like my dad except for the eye shape and marks. Dad was great and took care of me for most of my life. He died when I was about ten years old in a car accident." Naruto told Hinata quickly. His smile was gone and he seemed to be lost in thought. Hinata put a hand on his shoulder and he looked at her.
"I-I'm sorry, I s-shouldn't have asked y-you that. I-I can see now that y-you don't like t-to take about them. You m-must be angry at me n-now." Hinata apologized to him. Naruto gave her a small smile even though it didn't reach his eyes.
"It's alright Hinata-chan. I'm not angry at you. I don't think I could be angry at you even if I wanted to be." Naruto told her as he placed his own hand over her small one that was still on his arm.
Hinata then gave him one of her beautiful smiles, the one that she saves for him and him alone.
"T-Thank you Naruto-kun. Y-You're so kind to me." Hinata told him softly. Naruto gave me a gentle smile.
"Hinata I-"
"Your ramen Naruto." Ayame said suddenly as she put two bowls in fount of them. She had a fake smile on her face and Hinata could see anger flash into her brown eyes as she looked at there joined hands.
"Thanks Ayame." Naruto told her as she let go of Hinata's hand to start quickly eating his ramen. Hinata did the same but at a slower pace then Naruto was. After Hinata finished her bowl and Naruto finished his third, Hinata and Naruto split the bill.
"Come by again soon Naruto!" Ayame called as the two were leaving. Naruto gave her a fox grin and nodded his head before he asked Hinata if he could walk her home, which she gladly agreed to.
"So Hinata-chan, since I told you about my family, would you tell me about yours?" Naruto asked her as they walked along the sidewalk. Neither of them noticed how people would stop and stair at the sight of Hiashi's eldest daughter walking along side the strange blond boy.
"I have a younger sister named Hanabi. She is five years younger then me but is very smart for her age. She is very bossy and hates it when people think less of her. I love her dearly and we have a close bond but we never seem to have enough time to spend together.
"Neji is my cousin and is older then us by a year. He is, in a way, my body guard and takes that job very seriously. He even failed a grade so that he could keep a better eye on me. He is very cold to people but he shows his softer side to Hanabi and I. My uncle died many years ago when Neji and I were still young and my father adopted him into the family.
"My father is the owner of Hyuga Industries . . . I don't spend much time with my father.
"My mother died a few years ago when I was thirteen. She had cancer and we found out about it to late. I still miss her terribly and things at home haven't been the same without her around." Hinata was staring at the ground at this point and she felt her eyes start to sting from the tears that threatened to fall, but her eyes widened when she felt warm and strong arms wrap around her. She looked up to see Naruto and felt his arms hugging her tightly.
"N-Naruto-kun…" Hinata whispered.
"I hate seeing you so sad Hinata-chan." Naruto whispered to her. Hinata felt her knees start to shake and she slowly put her arms around his waist and hugged him back. Naruto was warm to the touch and he smelt like sunshine and spices.
Naruto held onto Hinata tighter and closed his eyes in content. Hinata felt . . . right in his arms. As if she was made to fit perfectly in them. She smelt like lilies and a cool winter's night and Naruto loved it.
The two were so lost in each other that they didn't even notice how close they were to the Hyuga mansion, or how Neji, Hanabi and Hiashi had all opened the front door to go get Hinata, only to find her in the arms of a blond boy with her eyes closed and a very small smile on her lips. The view of this got different reactions from the three Hyugas'.
Neji's protective brother mode kicked in and he glared at Naruto with fire in his beautiful eyes.
Hanabi's jaw had dropped but a smile was very easy to see on her lips.
Hiashi, like Neji, was glaring at the boy that dares to touch his daughter. He then cleared his throat loudly to get Hinata and the boy's attention.
"F-Father, Neji, H-Hanabi? What a-are y-you d-d-doing out h-here?" Hinata asked them.
"Oh, nothing at all Hinata-nee-chan. Just watching you and your boyfriend!" Hanabi said to her blushing sister.
"I'm not- Hinata-chan and I aren't- it's not- This isn't what it looks like!" Naruto finally managed to say.
"I think it's time that you leave boy." Hiashi said to Naruto. Hinata looked at Naruto and gave him a small smile.
"I-I'll see at s-school tomorrow N-Naruto-kun." Hinata said. Naruto smiled his fox grin at her and nodded his head before he all but ran away from her protective dad and cousin. But even a block away from the Hyuga home, Naruto still heard Hanabi yell "Why didn't you tell me your boyfriends where that hot?!"
On Saturday~
Matsuri vs. Ren- The Fight for Gaara-Kun!!!!
Now we join Gaara and Matsuri who are in the school library doing research for there science experiment.
Well Gaara is. . . Matsuri on the other hand. . .
"Ohh, Gaara-kun!"
"Eww! Gaara-kun! What is that thing?!"
"Gaara-kun you look so cute when you're thinking hard!"
"Gaara-kun! You look even cuter when you're mad!!"
Over and over and over! She was a non-stop chatter box! All she did was go on and on about how she thought Gaara was cute! And said red head was pretty close to just about snapping and killing said fan girl.
"Gaara?" Gaara knew that voice all to well. He turned his head to see a girl with short strawberry blond hair, tanned skin, and sapphire blue eyes standing next to him. She hadn't changed at all since they were fifteen and she was still beautiful. Gaara stood and faced the girl.
"Ren?" Gaara asked the girl. She smiled and threw her arms around him.
Gaara put one arm around her and gave her a small squeeze. He hadn't seen Ran for the past three years since she left Suna to start her modeling career in America. She had been his best friend since they were five and they had both missed each other terribly.
"Hello Ren. What are you doing here?" Gaara asked her as she sat in the seat next to him.
"I'm taking a break from the modeling and getting some high school education. What about you? Last I cheeked, you were living in the deserts! What happened?" Ren asked him.
"Well, a friend of mine convinced us to come here for an exchange program and I couldn't say no to her." Gaara told her. Most people would have missed this, but on Gaara's lips was the smallist of smiles and in his eyes there was the smallest bit of brightness that wasn't there before.
Ran raised and eyebrow at him. 'Her? Please tell me he's talking about Temari or something! Gaara-kun can NOT like someone! Not when I just got back!'
"Her? Don't tell me you got a girlfriend now Gaara." Ran teased him while praying to the gods that he would laugh and say no.
If you looked close enough, you would see a small tint of pink on Gaara's face.
"I wish…" Gaara mumbled softly under his breath. Ran's jaw dropped and she stared at his handsome face. 'No! Gaara can't like her! He just can't! I never got a chance to tell him that I love him!' Yep, that's right. Ran had been Gaara's best friend since they were five until they were fifteen and some time in those ten years, she had fallen for him. And hard at that.
"GAARA-KUN!!!! Who is that ugly girl over there?! Can you please tell her to leave us alone on our date?!" Matsuri whined as she clung onto Gaara's arm. Apparently, she got tiered of being ignored.
Ran looked at Gaara, then at Matsuri, then at Gaara, then at Matsuri again, then looked at Gaara and raised an eyebrow, silently asking him 'What the FUCK where you thinking?'.
Gaara glared at Matsuri.
"Matsuri, for the hundredth time, this is not a date!" Gaara told her as he ripped his arm away from her.
Ran then looked at Matsuri. 'Ha-ha, BITCH!'
Matsuri glared at Ran and gave a very small smirk. 'He's not your boyfriend either!'
At this Ran glared at her before looking down.
Gaara then looked at the clock and stood. When both girls looked at him he gave them a very small smile that made both of there hearts speed up.
"Sorry girls. I promised to meet up with Sakura later. See yea!" and with that, he set off to go find his beloved cheery blossom.
The two girls looked at each other.
"Who are you and how do you know Gaara-kun?" Matsuri asked Ran with dead seriousness.
"I'm an old friend of Gaara's. I moved to America about three years ago to start a modeling carrier. Who are you and who is Sakura?" Ran asked her with the same seriousness.
"I'm Matsuri, Gaara-kun's science partner for the next two weeks. Sakura is the bitch that Gaara-kun likes. Rumor is that there in love with each other." Matsuri spat out the information.
"Dame it! Winning Gaara is going to be harder then I thought." Ran cursed her bad luck.
"You're telling me!" Matsuri told Ran with the same annoyance.
The girls sat there in silence for a few more moments.
"So I guess we need to get Sakura out of the picture. Then we only have each other for competition." Matsuri said with a small smirk playing on her pink lips.
"Guess so." Ran gave Matsuri a mocking smile.
"May the best fan girl win."
On Sunday~
Sakura + Sasuke= An Old Felling????
"Okay, I vote that we take a break." Sakura said as she let her head fall into the cool pages of the book that she had been reading. She heard a small chuckle come from the Uchiha sitting across from her and looked up to see Sasuke with a small smile on his face.
"So, tell me, how was the desert?" Sasuke asked her. Sakura smiled and lifted her head.
"Suna was great but I really missed Konoha and the green." Sakura told him.
"How are your parents?" Sasuke asked her. Sakura looked down at her book and then looked at him with a sad smile on her face.
"They got a divorce. Mom moved to America a week after I came here."
"Sorry about that."
Sakura shrugged it off and told him "Not your fault. I saw the signs way before they told me."
"How is Itachi?" Sakura asked him.
"He's alright. He's going to Konoha Collage and still hangs out with the Akatsuki." Sasuke told her. His face was emotionless but Sakura could see the small tint of sadness in his eyes.
"And? The last time I cheeked, you two were the best of friends. You wanted to be just like him and he adored you."
"The last time you cheeked was two years ago Sakura. A lot of things can happen and a lot of things can change." Sasuke snapped at her.
"Well tell me, what's changed?" Sakura asked him calmly. Sasuke looked around the library quickly and saw that the only person there was the librarian and she was half way across the room with headphones in her ears. Sasuke then looked at Sakura and told her:
"About a month after you left, Itachi got really drunk one night; he came home at two in the morning. I had stayed up to make sure he got home. He was completely wasted and he was practically walking into walls. When I tried to help him he pushed me away and started screaming at me. He was saying that our parent's death was my fault. That I should have died instead of them that night. He said that I just sat there and did nothing. He said that he has hated me since there death and that the only reason why he let me live with him is because he pitted me." Sasuke told her in a pained voice and had a far away look in his eyes.
Sakura knows about his parent's death.
When Sasuke was about six or so they died when a group of men tried to rob there house. Itachi had been over at his friend's house that night. Sasuke's mother had hidden him in a closet when his father got into a fist fight with one of the robbers. The other man had a knife and stabbed his father, and then he killed his mother. Sasuke had seen it through a crake in the slightly open closet door and Itachi came home the next day to find police car's outside the house and his little brother sitting there with a blank look on his face and with eyes that had seen too much for his age.
Sakura saw a dark pain in his eyes. Not only did it remind him of the death of his parents, but Itachi, his beloved brother Itachi, had got him at a weak point in his life, only a month after the girl he loved left him and moved away with words of hate.
Sasuke didn't notice it when Sakura got up from her chair, nor did he relies when she was standing behind him. He did notice when her arms came around him in a tight hug though.
"Sasuke, you were six. What could you have done? Those men would have killed you and I think Itachi might have lost it if he lost you too. Itachi was drunk- people say and do really dumb things when there drunk. Itachi loves you, I know this for sure, and he could never hate you. I know that you two are close to each other and I know that he must have apologized for what-"
"He didn't remember it." Sasuke interrupted her.
"What?"
"Itachi, he didn't remember a word of what he said the next morning and I didn't feel like telling him. I started to avoid him after that and I doubt that he even relies that I'm goon." Sasuke told her.
"Sasuke . . . you can't just ignore him. What about when you're older: are you still going to have those words that he said taken to heart? If Itachi doesn't remember that night then he thinks that his little brother suddenly started to hate him for no reason. You need to let this go and let it be the past." Sakura told him. She gave him another hug before letting go of him and walking back to her seat.
Sasuke gave her a smile. One that he only lets her see. One that lights up his entire face and that always made her heart stop.
"Thank you Sakura." Sasuke told her as they got back to work on the assignment.
Neither noticed the man with long black hair and pitch black eyes that had been listening on the other side of the tall book shelf.
Itachi Uchiha gave a very sad smile, one that would break a heart to see, and mouthed the words
'I'm sorry Sasuke. Thank you Sakura.'

Just to remind you all-
