The girls ran down the hallway.
"Sakura. Sakura. Stop." Ino reached out for her friend at pulled on her arm. "What just happened? Why did you lock the room?"
"Nothing. I don't want to talk about it. I just have to get to Sasuke." She breathed hard.
"Okay. Okay, but let's walk ok? You're out of breath."
Sakura nodded and they walked the remaining steps to the Library door.
--------------------------------
The door opened. Sakura desperately searched with her light. The one she searched for was on the second level. Standing close, too close to his companion, close enough to … kiss. Her light hit onto Sasuke. Her heart felt like it dropped straight out of her. She needed to be comforted after what had just happened in the classroom. She certainly didn't need to find the love of her life with someone else.
It was true, what Ino had said. But if Sasuke liked Naruto, that means some of the other things Ino said were true too. Her heart hardened. She simply had had enough. If she couldn't have him no one could.
"I told you Sakura," the blonde girl next to her sniped.
Sakura was not to be made a fool of. She started to laugh. She had perfected it over the years. She could belittle anyone with a small snicker, but she would not hold back for this. Naruto had to believe that he was played. Her laugher grew, and just at the right moment she said, "You believed he could like you." Her laughter got louder. "I can't believe it. You're so gullible. Who could like you?" She kept laughing. Mocking. "You're simply pathetic."
-------------------------------
Naruto was hurt… he thought… he thought… it didn't matter what he thought it hurt. He couldn't stay here listening to the laughter. It was too much. He ran down the stairs. He pushed through the two blocking his exit and ran down the hall, hot tears streaming from his eyes.
-------------------------------
There are four basic rules that the universe runs on. The first three were discovered by Newton, the last was shortly going to be discovered by Sakura Haruno. It goes something like "An Uchiha gets what an Uchiha wants or else."
The pink haired girl got control of herself as the boy with short blond hair left the room. The dark hair boy glared down at her with unforgiving eyes.
"What?" She asked. "Isn't my boyfriend going to come and give me a kiss?" She started to laugh, but it was very different from before, sorrow, madness, pain rung through the sound. It was unnerving.
The long blond hair girl was in shock. She wasn't sure what was going on. Her best friend seemed to have cracked.
The dark figure at the top of the stairs started to move. He took one step at a time. Rage, started to burn in his eyes and they shone red. As slowly as he seemed to be moving he was standing in front of the laughing girl untimely fast. She continued to laugh in his face.
The remaining blonde backed away. She was not in danger, not at the moment at least, but she couldn't tell. The dark man reached out a hand. The girl tried to bat it away but when her hand reached out the man before her was gone. Her laughter stopped.
"Boo." The dark voice came from behind her. She jumped back turning. Again he was gone. She could sense him behind her. Her hair was pulled at and she struggles as she was drug around the room. She frantically tried to see behind her at she heard something opening. A drawer had been opened and something taken out of it. The pressure on her head began to release, strand by strand. She fell to her already bruised knees. She was gasping for air, her heart pounding within her.
Her head was jerked up so that the dark eyes now could look into hers. He wanted to see her pain. Her mouth was ajar. The owner of the dark eyes grabbed her chin forcing her mouth to stay open as he stuffed in the locks of hair that had been sheared from her head.
"Know fear weak girl. Your nights will be filled with nightmares and your days will be living ones. You shall not rest until you die if I let you die."
He released his grip on her and left.

Shikamaru sat in a gym. "This is soooo boring."
He had already taken a picture of the suspicious sculptures, suspicious cause it looked like a dick, his physics teacher had in one of the back rooms.(1) He even hid the teachers answer book. He was interested in finding out if the teacher really knew how to do the problems. And had produce the book he was reading from the cage.
As far as the kiss, he was not going to be getting anything from Ten-ten or Temari. Not that he didn't think the girls were cute, and he thought that Temari had been eying him for the past few weeks. Neji and Kiba though had different ideas. He had no doubt that they set this whole thing up to get a little action so that meant they were going to interfere if anyone else tried to step in.
The guys had done a great job with the gym. They had a fog machine and some eerie green lights in the room that would flicker every so often. They also strung fake spider web across the room. A fan blew papers on the floor. A tape repeated some scary moans.
From the ceiling they had hung dummy's which would drop via a controller each one held.
Upon entering the room the female team members were a little freaked. Neji wore a smug look as he press the button concealed in his pocket as the girl walked in front of where on of the dummy's came down. As if on cue they ran over to him for protection.
Shikamaru had just rolled his eyes. Sure, things jumping out were startling, but you didn't need to run to someone for protection.
Kiba had returned screaming his lung out about 10 minutes before Shikamaru had declared his boredom. After apologizing for his shameful return he had been trying to get Temari to kiss him non stop.
Just then a guy walked in. He had fairly white hair but didn't seem over 20. The guy had glasses on and had a friendly demeanor.
"Kabuto," called out Neji. "I told you to be here an hour ago. Luckily the other team hasn't come in here yet. What's wrong with you go get your make up on." The guy walked off again.
"Stupid actors. Sheesh. We should have just gone with the dummy's they are scary enough."
The guy reappeared. His face was now bumpy. Neji directed him to jump out at people as they approached the basketball whoop. He didn't' really care if he even attacked one of them. They just needed their picture of someone on the other team being scared. Those Shikamaru would not have been surprised if some of the directions he was giving was to freak out the girls a little.
The doors to the gym opened once more. The other team was off to the side of the gym where the equipment was kept. There were plenty of places to hide so the other team could not see them, but they would see who entered the door.
Kiba, Neji, Ten-ten, Temari, and even Shikamaru gazed intently at the door wondering who just entered, but they saw no one enter. A minute passed at the door closed. No person in sight. Shikamaru looked over to Kabuto who seemed to be studying something in the center of the gym.

Yes it's short but the last one was really long so they average out.
1) I actually found this in my chemistry teacher's back room. Really freaked me out.
