Sakura's Guide to the Hatake Boys.

Sakura glared at a very nervous Shikamaru all during breakfast. Now was the time to set this genius -now turned idiot- straight! The whole table was silent, aside from a clueless Anko who had no idea what was going on since Kakashi never told her what happened the day at the spa, so she just sat there in her seat cooing Konohamaru as she fed him. And Naruto was more silent than his usual hyperactive-knucklehead-self. She chomped into her breakfast, making sure to keep the glare up full force. Oh yeah, it was on.

She watched in pleasure as the pineapple-head gulped nervously and smiled a little to try and ease the tension. Didn't work so much. While Anko still had her attention set on a messy Konohamaru who had grabbed a fist full of his applesauce and decided to smother it all over his giggling little face. Sakura took the chance and lifted her finger up in front of her neck and glided it sideways as if she was slicing it. Shikamaru flinched and ducked his head, he got the feeling that Ino had talked to her, he figured that was why she was more mad than usual.

All the brothers and Kakashi watched the exchange in amusement, they had never seen Shikamaru so scared before, the poor guy looked like he was gonna crap in his pants. Neji thought he deserved it, no self respecting person should have the audacity to think of cheating and keeping it a secret from their perspective other. He should have known that she was gonna find out, and it was the cheaters fault she found out in the first place! The pearly-eyed teen laughed inwardly at that. At least when.... He shook his head, he wasn't gonna think of that at a time like this.

`So, what do we do first? Torture or get straight to the point? Kukukuku, I can think of many ways to get him to talk! CHA! Bring out the big guns!'

`What guns?'

`Never mind, hey can I take over when we talk to Shikamaru, I can scare him into submission, and make it where he will never think about cheating on Ino again!'

`Fine, as long as you promise not to do anything too rash. We don't need another "Mari" incident...'

`Oh yeah, I remember that. . . she deserved it, I don't let just anyone call me pinky, your lucky I liked Kisame or there would have been fish-guts ALL over the garage.'

`*sigh* The personality of Satan and the mind of a two year old.'

`HEY! Take that back you ugly billboard brow!'

`.......'

`CRAP! I just insulted myself! *smacks forehead*

Anko looked away from the now clean Konohamaru and smiled at how well her boys and Sakura were now getting along. Oh, if only she knew. "So, boys, are you going to take Sakura to The Spot tonight?"

Sakura turned her head to Anko questionably, she cocked her head to the side and asked. "What's "The Spot" ?"

Naruto answered her question. "It's where most of the kids at school go to hang out and watch the plains take off, we've been goin' since freshman year, aside from Kiba who has been goin' since middle school," said younger boy shrugged and replied.

"What? I can't help that all the chicks digged me back then, they still do. Hey Shikamaru, if you don't want Ino I'll take her!" it was meant to be a joke when he said that, but obviously Shikamau didn't feel like being in a laughing mood. All of a sudden Kiba found him self being slammed into the hard tiled floor by Shikamaru, who had literally jumped over the table and tackled him . The older had landed a punch to his little brothers nose. Kiba, threw one of his own in self defense, hitting the genius in the eye, . Anko screamed and moved Konohamaru out of the way, Sasuke grabbed at Shikamaru to get him off of Gaara's now slightly panicked twin. And Itachi and the red-head tried to get Kiba away from the furious Shikamaru.

Sakura stared shocked. What the heck was goin' on. Was Shikamaru really taking Kiba seriously? She flinched when she noticed blood coming out of Kiba's nose, and Shikamaru's lip had begun to bleed when Kiba had landed another punch. She was supposed to be used to stuff like this, she was planning on becoming a doctor. But she didn't like seeing people she thought were friends practically kill eachother.

`This might not be the right time, but I'm gonna say it anyway. OMG this is so HOT!!!'

`Your right! This isn't the best time, jeez find another hobby you loopy-pervert!'

Naruto and Neji had went to try and stop it, also seeing as the three were struggling to pull them away, and it was really starting to get serious. "Shikamaru, you idiot get off of him!" Naruto shouted, lunging at the pineapple-head himself, making sure to hold his arms down. "WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!" the blonde shouted angrily.

Neji and Sasuke quickly went over to a furiously bleeding Kiba, and held his head back to stop him from passing out from blood loss, and miraculously it hadn't gotten on any of their clothes. Itachi pushed Naruto out of the way and yanked Shikamaru up by the collar. "Jesus Shikamaru, what the heck do you think your doing, he was just messin' around!" Kakashi watched, he felt bad he once again didn't get to play the father part. He just shrugged and lifted his book up and started reading again.

Shikamaru glared and pushed his brother away, wiping the blood from his mouth against his shoulder. He ignored him and looked over at Kiba and glared. "You stupid prick! You know better than to talk about Ino like that! Especially after what happened!" he glared harder, breathing heavily. Not caring or even noticing his hair had fallen out of it's usual pony-tail.

They all stared wide-eyed as realization kicked in, the only ones who were confused was a slightly distressed Anko and a startled Sakura. Kakashi just sighed and shook his head, now he understood what was going on.

Kiba stared at Shikamaru shocked and talk breathlessly. "You said you were over that, how many times am I gonna have to apologise?! I told you it was a mistake!" he shouted, shrugging off his brothers failed attempts at keeping him a safe distance away from Shikamaru, standing up only to flinch and hold his soon to be bruised gut. "Besides, I told you about it as soon as it happened!" he shouted even more, cringing at how sore he was.

Shikamaru scoffed and glared harder not caring one bit if his brother was in pain. "Oh, right, yeah, get over the thought of your brothers tongue down your girlfriends throat! Who do you think you are?!" Anko and Sakura gasped.

Kiba laughed mockingly. "That's rich coming from the likes of you!" he gave a glare of his own."You did the exact same thing she did to you, except the only difference is that we told you about it right after, and you didn't! What does that make you, huh Shikamaru!?" Kiba snapped, trying to pull away from Gaara and Itachi, but it was useless. They knew better than to let him go.

Shikamaru snarled and lunged at Kiba, again, only this time he was held back before he even had the chance to land a punch. "That's enough Shikamaru. Kiba. Your brothers, I taught you all better than this, fighting over a girl." Kakashi barked, he glared at both of his sons. He finally got the chance to parent.

"What in the world is goin' on?!" Anko shouted frantically. She was so confused.

"Nothing, I'm gonna be late. The ones who don't meet me in the car for a ride, in the next five minutes can walk your way to school!" Shikamaru snapped, walking out of the kitchen, and out the door making sure to slam it extra hard. They all flinched. Neji and Sasuke sighed. "We'll go with him. Kiba, Gaara, Sakura? Do you guys mind to ride with Naruto?" Neji asked, watching as Sasuke walked out the door also, closing it behind him softly.

The three just nodded their heads, and watched as he walked out of the house. Sakura looked at a still bleeding Kiba, and walked over to help his nose from bleeding anymore than it already had. Naruto sighed and grabbed his back-pack. "I'll see you guys in the car. Kiba we'll talk about this later." He walked over to his mom and kissed her on the cheek reassuringly and ruffled a crying Konohamaru's head, then walked out the door, just like his brothers had. It was gonna be a long day, and he didn't know whether or not he wanted to be a part of it.

They could faintly hear the car start in the background, as Sakura and Anko cleaned the last bit of the blood off Kiba's face. The pinkette sighed and grabbed the brunettes wrist slightly, noticing it looked slightly purple. "Come on Kiba, we're gonna be late. You can go to the nurse when we get to school." Sakura said, pulling Kiba to the door gently so as to not make him feel anymore pain than he already was feeling, they walked out saying goodbye to Anko and Kakashi.

Dog-boy just sighed and followed along solemnly.


As they pulled into the schools parking lot, she saw Ino and Hinata standing by the schools entrance doors. She noticed how Ino had a slight panicked look in her eyes. She quickly opened and closed the cars backseat door and ran to her friend. The female blonde had noticed her friend coming and ran to meet her half way. "Oh my god, Sakura, what happened, why was Shikamaru bloody and covered in bruises? When I tried to ask, he shoved me away and walked off! What happened?!" Sakura put her hands on Ino's shoulders to try and calm her down, it didn't work. Hinata only nodded her head at Sakura and walked away, feeling that her pink-haired friend could handle this better than she herself could.

Sakura smiled and mouthed a `go ahead', and watched as the shy girl walked inside. She look back at Ino who started waving her arms. "Okay, woah, please stop flailing your arms before you give yourself a seizure," she was avoiding the inevitable, she didn't know how to tell Ino what happened, for she didn't know herself.

"Sakura tell me, w-why did Shikamaru push me away?" she asked, looking about ready to cry her blue-eyes out. "I should be he one pushing him away!" her mood swings had kicked in.

`Oh god! Not the tears, anything but the tears!'

Sakura sighed. "Shikamaru and Kiba got in a fight," she said slowly. "And the reason is because he made a joke about taking you, if you decided not to take Shikamaru back." she watched as a look of pure horror and shock came across her friends face. "Ino? What's the matter?" Ino slumped against the wall pulling her knees close to her chest and buried her head in her arms. Uncontrollable sobs wracked the blondes petite body. Sakura kneeled down by her friend and ignored the warning bell that rang through the courtyard. A sign that said you needed to get to your perspective classes or you'll get detention.

"Ino, what is it, did something happen between you and Kiba?" the pinkette asked, rubbing circles against Ino's back soothingly. She only got a little information out of Kiba and Shikamaru from when they were fighting.

Ino nodded and lifted her head a bit to speak. "It was a long time ago, me and Shika got into an argument. There was a party. . . I was really upset and confused, I didn't know if we were broken up, and I had just a little to much booze the football team had snuck in. I ended making out with Kiba. But as soon as we realised what we did was wrong, and we definitely didn't feel anything for each other we went to Shikamaru and apologized. It took a while but he eventually forgave us, and he took me back a few months later. It's been two years since then, he said he didn't care about it, and that he was over it. I knew he was hurt. And Kiba was stupid to say something like that, but why would he beat him up? He didn't even do that when we told him after the incident."

Sakura shook her head, things were getting a little out of hand, and she was worried about what a hurt Shikamaru would do. "Do you think he'll ever really forgive me? Maybe that kiss between him and Temari was something more than what he actually said..." Ino mumbled.

Sakura snapped her head back up to the blonde. "Hold up Ino, don't say that! You and I both know Shikamaru wouldn't intentionally hurt someone like that, what happened between him and Kiba was only because he was scared," Ino looked at Sakura disbelievingly. Sakura smiled genuinely and said. "He'll never admit it, but even the most coldest of guys are self-conscious when comes to losing the one they love. And Shikamaru loves you, I swear it, he was telling the truth about what happened with Temari. . . Don't worry about pineapple-head or dog-breath either. Their brothers, they can only hold a grudge for so long." she smiled at her blond friend and helped her stand up.

Ino smiled. "Thanks forehead, you know your getting pretty good at this whole therapist thing,"

Sakura smiled cheekily. "Yeah, maybe I should start charging people from now on." Ino laughed and wrapped her arm around Sakura's shoulders.

"Whatever forehead-girl, lets go before we get detention." the two girls walked down the halls, only to see a slightly breathless Hinata and Tenten run their way.

"Finally! You guys missed half first period, Hinata and I lied saying we had to use the bathroom, just to see if you were okay. We had to deal with Orochi-gay-maru's lesson all by ourselves! Although, the part where he groped Sasuke's butt was rather hilarious! The poor dude leaped ten feet into the air and screamed like a little girl! The fan-girls practically ripped the creepy-guys face off." they all laughed at the image of Sasuke screaming like a girl.

`OMG, Sasuke was molested?! ........AND WE MISSED IT?!'

`Man, you are such a sadist..."

"Tenten that's not -pfft- funny. He could need serious -laugh- therapy after a traumatic -giggle- experience like that." Hinata explained, trying to hold in her fits of laughter.

Ino rolled her eyes. "If he needs therapy, all he has to do is talk to Sakura!" she stated.

Sakura sighed and shook her head. "I doubt it, I'd probably be the last person he'd want to talk to."

They all stared at their pink-headed friend. "Why do you say that Sakura?" Hinata asked curious as to why Sakura would think that.

She inhaled and exhaled, and told her friends about what happened between her and Sasuke in the bathroom. And also how he's been avoiding her at all costs. They all had wide eyes when she finished telling them her side of the story. Tenten patted Sakura on the shoulder and said. "Wow, who knew Sasuke could be so confusing, ice cube-ish, not confusing. What are you gonna do?"

"I think I'm gonna ignore him, like he's ignoring me, and see what happens. I think he's only acting like this because he's jealous of how I've been helping Gaara." Sakura replied mildly, wiggling her nose as she thought of how she was gonna act around him, she was never good at playing mean, sure she could pack a punch, but that was only when she was really mad.

"Hey, sluts?!" a voice shouted from behind them. The girls turned their heads around to see no other than Karin and her Witch Crew. They were looking extra "flashy" today. If you turned your head to the side you could see that they were wearing shirts.

Ino glared and snapped. "Who you callin' a slut you raggedy playhouse whore!" Tenten and Hinata stared at her weirdly. The blonde just shrugged. "It works,"

`Don't these bimbo's have any morals?! And Karin has a boyfriend, why is she flashing her ugly self around? I ought to show her who's boss -again- and throw her across the soccer field.'

`I'd happily let you out just to do that.'

`Ah! Really?!'

`No.'

"Hey, you stupid pink-haired tramp! Don't ignore me!" said one of Karins posse.

Sakura shook her head and looked up to a blue-haired-too much makeup-half dressed-whore glaring at her through thick-rimmed glasses. "I'm sorry. . . did you say something?" she asked, she cocked her head to the side innocently. She took the chance to look and see who was all part of Karins group. She saw some people she didn't know, but for some reason when her gaze landed on a sandy-blonde haired girl. She got the sudden feeling that she knew this person. The girl had her hair done into four-pigtails, Sakura thought she looked kinda funny, she could also smell a lot of hair-spray mixed in with some pharmacy store brand perfume. She gagged inwardly from the stench. If Kiba was here, he's probably be throwing up just from the smell.

The sandy-blonde haired girl turned her head in Ino's direction and smirked, saying. "Well, well, well, I guess Shika-baby finally dumped your sorry butt if came to me today, forcing his tongue down my throat, and practically ripping off my clothes." she said it in a "rubbing-it-in" manner, making sure to note that she had enjoyed whatever happened. Hinata and Tenten gasped disbelievingly.

Sakura growled and stepped a little closer, not missing the hurt that passed through Ino's eyes.

`I swear, if this.... `Temari' is telling the truth, I am gonna come straight out and CASTRATE him!'

`I don't know, I think she's lying. Technically, if Shikamaru is a genius he would think this too, it's her fault. She kissed him and it led to all this mess, none of this would be going on if it wasn't for her. And I have a feeling Shikamaru is thinking this too.'

Sakura took a deep breath, then spoke confidently. "That's a lie," every ones heads snapped in her direction. Temari clinched her teeth and looked about ready to kill. "What did you say pinky?"

`Oh, she did no-"I said, that's a lie. I bet your just making all that up to get under Ino's skin, if I know Shikamaru's way of thinking, he probably wouldn't even come in walking distance of you. You know he cares far more deeply about Ino than he would ever feel for you...." she trailed off as Ino stepped up and had pure confidence in her eyes.

"Yeah Subaku, get a life and stay away from my man!" they smirked as they saw Temari snarl and glare. She knew Temari had no chance with Shikamaru, ever.

"Why you stupid SLUT!" Temari shouted lunging at Ino, knocking them both down in the process. She screeched and punched Ino in the face. Making the platinum blonde knee her in the processs.

`OH YEAH, I've been waiting all day for this! LET ME OUT!'

`No, I wanna do this.'

`You always get all the fun, no fair!'

Ino snarled and took her chance and switched places so she was on top, she growled and punched Temari three times in the face, lifting Subaku up by the collar of her shirt and slam the girls head back down into the hard concrete floor. They watched as Ino punched the living daylights out of Temari, and slam the girls head into the floor at the same time. Some of Subaku's friends went and helped but Sakura and Tenten went to join in, and help out their friend. Hinata just stood there, she didn't have the courage to fight, she flinched when she saw Karin step into her line of sights.

The red-head pointed a manicured finger into Hinata's face and barked. "Your gonna pay for what you did yesterday, and I don't appreciate you throwing your ugly self all over my boyfriend!"

The Hyuga girl stared at Karin unwaveringly, said person got a little uneasy and started to step back, but caught herself and raised a fist to slam it into Hinata's face. Sakura looked up from kneeing one of the girls in the stomach to check on Hinata, only to gasp when she saw her friend get punched so hard in the face she dented some of the lockers from the force of being thrown back. "Hinata?!" she shouted, she went to go and help but felt someone pull on her hair and turn her around. She did a war cry and punched the idiot in the face.

Hinata covered her nose and felt the stick blood run down her fingers, her eyes watered from the pain. She looked up and glared at a smirking red-headed slut. Oh, it was on. Hinata spit out some blood that got into her mouth in Karins face and lunged at the girl throwing of few fists here and there in the process. Yep, Hinata was goin' all -not-so-gentle-fist on her sorry butt. The Hyuga heard a crack and wondered if she broke Karins nose. . . or leg, she couldn't tell. But she broke something!

Tenten smiled menacingly wiping some blood that was dripping from her forehead off. She was having so much fun, going to Karate class was really starting to pay off, which is why she did a roundhouse kick and also an upper-cut. "Oh Yeah, bring it on biz-nitch! I'll take you down!"

Sakura was about to throw another punch when she felt herself being pulled back and into a strong chest. She was about to kill the fool that touched her, but stopped struggling when she saw Sasuke's impassive yet slight concerned face. She turned her head to left to see Hinata get lifted over Naruto's shoulder. She lifted a brow when she saw the amusement in his face as he turned to look at Hinata. Said girl stopped kicking and blushed and squeaked. She also noticed that Ino had been overpowered by Temari, who was sitting on the platinum blondes stomach and was about to hit Ino again, but was roughly shoved off and thrown down to the ground. By none other than Shikamaru. And Neji had a firm grip on Tenten.

Karin fixed herself and wiped the blood of her face and started crying, "NARUTO-KUN! Look what they did!" she shouted pointing at Hinata and the others, her posse nodded their heads and started crying also.

Tenten growled and shot back. "Grow some ba-mmmph nnhm bzidfa mznv YOU SLUTTY WHORES!" thankfully Neji had sensed her fowl mouth and censored some things.

Shikamaru glared at Temari, who had yet to get up off the floor. He wanted answers, and he wanted them now. "What is going on here? And I better get the truth." the arm that was around Ino's waist tightened. She flinched, he noticed and loosened his grip -just a little-.

Sakura relaxed against Sasuke's chest a fraction of a bit, fatigue and pain taking over. "Ask your whore," she was saying this as she glared at Temari hatefully. Subaku just turned her head, refusing to talk.

Ino looked up at Shikamaru and whispered. "She said you had "done some things" together when you got to school, I got upset..." she trailed off, not knowing why she was feeling so worthless at the moment. She loved kickin' Temari's butt, but thinking that what the girl had said before was true, just made her heart hurt.

Shikamaru's eyes widened when Ino finished talking, he turned his head to Temari and glared. "You said what?!" Round three was just about to start. "How many lies have you been telling? I haven't even came near you since that day by the bleachers. Who do think you are?!" he yelled angrily.

Temari screeched. "When are you gonna leave this tramp and come to me? She's nothing but a whore who doesn't deserve you. How can you choose her over me!"

Ino's eyes narrowed slightly, she was just about to tackle the idiot when she felt herself being turned around, looking into Shikamaru's deep dark pools of black. "Troublesome girl." as soon as those words left his mouth. he bent forward and kissed her with everything he had. And boy did he miss it, he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tight, making sure not to hurt her.

Temari and everyone else gawked, although the boys just gagged and covered their eyes. They so did not want to see this, it was liking walking in on their mom and dad getting it-GAH, bad thoughts!

`Awwww, that's so sweet, it makes me want to kiss Sasuke...!!!'

`YES! We're finally thinking on the same page!'

`N-no! Stupid! It was just a slip of the tongue..er...thought!'

`No! Don't revert, think about Sasuke, this is Sasuke the hot of all hotness! I swear if you don't kiss him, I'm gonna take over!'

`You can't do that without my consent, and didn't you tell me to ignore him.'

`Pssh, don't listen to me, I KNOW NOTHING, except for how awesome his biceps feel! Kyaaa!'

`No, I'm gonna ignore him till he gives me the respect I need!'

`....Gah, fine! But when he decides to stop being an idiot, I'm raping him!'

`No your not.'

`Inners should have freedom rights!'

`No,'

`Uh, *tears up and pouts*

`No,'

`FINE!'

She sighed and unwrapped Sasuke's arms that were around her, not noticing the hurt look he gave as he watched her walk over to where Hinata was, she was hiding behind Naruto. Who was trying to keep a pissed Karin back. Hinata noticed Sakura coming and quickly sprinted over towards her. "Sakura, are you okay, you have a black eye, and your lip is bleeding!"

Sakura laughed a little and patted the shy-girls head. "I'm fine, what about you? Your bleeding probably more than I am-OMG she broke your nose!!!" she had been checking Hinata's face as she was talking and when her eyes landed on the girls nose, it was bent in an odd angle. Naruto's head turned in Hinata's direction so fast they wondered if he had whiplash. He ignored Karin after that, an ran over to the now slightly nervous girl.

"Hinata-chan, are you okay?" the ramen-lover asked, placing his hands on either side of the girls face, and tilting her head up a bit to get a better look.

Hinata smiled, wincing as her nose started to ache, but ignored it and placed her hands on his wrists reassuringly. "I-I-I'm f-fine N-Naruto. You don't h-have to w-w-w-wor-" she wasn't able to finish her sentence, for she had fainted. As she was speaking, his face had gotten closer and her nerves could only handle so much.

"Ahhhh, Hinata-chan, hey, wake up! Omg, I killed her!" he started panicking, but still held her close. He looked at Sakura with tears running down his face and snot slightly coming out of his nose.

`Ew,' `Ew,'

Sakura sighed exasperatedly, she knew he was worried, which was a good sign. Even though Karin had bruises, maybe just as much as Hinata, he had chose the Hyuuga-heiress before his own girlfriend."Don't worry Naruto, Hinata's not dead, she's just been through a traumatizing experience and I guess the shock finally sunk in," she said. He nodded and looked back down at Hinata, an odd look in his eyes.

`First step to leaving the red-head slut?'

`Check,'

She patted the blonde males shoulder as she saw her words had not helped much. "Don't worry Naruto, we all just need to go to the nurse. I'm sure Hinata's not the only one with a broken nose. Right Ino, Tenten?" the brunette had nodded holding her nose slightly, flinching when she touched a sore spot. Ino wasn't paying attention, she was too busy getting reaquainted with Shikamaru's mouth. She looked around to see the Karin and her posse had left, probably not wanting to deal with the humiliation. First period still hadn't ended yet, and they were lucky nobody came to see what all the commotion was. "Come on guys, take us to the infirmary." she ordered to the boys. They just nodded. She turned her head to see that Ino and Shikamaru had stopped kissing and were now following closely from behind.


Hinata had woken up in a white room with Naruto next her, and the others all standing close to the bed. She saw Neji move Tenten's face side-to-side worriedly, and also Ino looking over some of the bruises Shikamaru had gotten earlier this morning, Sasuke seemed to have forced Sakura to let him wrap her scratched and bloody knuckles. She smiled a little, they were all so cute. She looked back at Naruto and sighed softly, saying. "S-s-sorry about what I did to Karin, Naruto." she didn't want him to be mad at her so she apologized even if she didn't mean it. Naruto chuckled and gave her his famous foxy-grin. She blushed.

"Nah, don't worry about it Hinata-chan, I'm not mad. Even I know when my girlfriend needs to be quiet. But don't worry, I'm sure she'll warm up to you and then we can all hang out and be friends. Okay Hinata-chan?!" he smiled not noticing the shy-girl gulp and nod glumly. But he did feel the murderous glares coming from the girls. He turned around and looked at them incredulously. Sakura growled and slammed her palm in to her face.

`That Idiot!'

`He has no idea. See, this is why we should help, what he needs is a good push off a cliff, then maybe that'll knock some sense into him. I'm surprised he hasn't died from stupidity.'

`Yeah, or, I don't know. He could DIE!'

`That too, but I'm sure the ice cold water will break his fall.'

`Or give him hypothermia...'

`We'll never know till we try!'

`Which were not!'

Ino and Tenten drew their attention away from their boyfriends and gave gave Naruto glares of their own. All he did was look frightened, he really had no idea. They shook their heads and muttered a quite "idiot" in his main direction. Hinata smiled nervously, she didn't want anything to happen, especially after they all they had been through, and she knew it was her fault that Naruto didn't understand. If she had the courage to tell him how she felt, they wouldn't be in this situation. She sighed and rubbed her temples.

Naruto turned his head towards the girl next to him as he heard her sigh. He turned and saw her rub her forehead and look about ready to cry. He wondered what was wrong. He looked over to where the girls were and heard Ino mumbled something about ramen-obsessed-idiots, and Tentens reply being orange wearing-retards. He looked down at himself seeing he was the only one in the room wearin' orange. He didn't have a clue as to why people he thought were friends were talking about him. What had he done.

Sakura seeing the blonde headed male look about ready to bawl his eyes out, elbowed Tenten and Ino, and walked over to the shy girl and Naruto. She guess it wouldn't hurt to give them a little push. "Naruto?" said boy looked up at the pinkette, his beautiful cerulean eyes rimmed with big tears, he had unintentionally let his puppy-dog pout loose as he looked up at her. "Yes Sakura-c-c-chan?" Sakura and the girls gushed and swooned, trying to hold in their squeals of how absolutely adorable Naruto looked.

The guys just twitched and swiftly turned their heads in the opposite direction. Naruto had always done that when they were kids, usually when he wanted something. Like when Neji spent all his savings on this new hair gel. Naruto was just now starting to care about his looks, he was in middle school and wanted to look nice. Well he nearly brought poor Neji into tears, Naruto had looked so dejected and sorrowful, he had slammed the gel into the kids hands and practically did his hair for him. That was one of the worst years of Neji's life, he had to spend and extra thirty minutes to keep his hair from frizzing each morning till he saved enough money for another gar. Oh the humiliation...

They all inherited the famous pout from their mother, Naruto and Kiba were the only ones who had perfectly mastered it. Although they have yet to see Sasuke's, Itachi had done it when he wanted to get a guitar when he was thirteen. Anko had cried for days, and wouldn't let Itachi out of her sight for fear of rapists and flashers going and ruining her baby's innocence. Sakura gulped and spoke calmly, trying to figure out how Naruto could do something like that without even noticing he was doing it.

`The lousy hottie must be so used to it! How can someone look so cute!?'

"Do you mind walking Hinata to her locker and to her next class? Ino, Tenten and I aren't in her class for this period." she said.

Naruto nodded, giving a familiar pose that Sakura had seen Gai and Lee do many times before. "Sure I'll take Hinata! Believe it!" he looked at the pearly-eyed girl and smiled brightly. Making the poor girl blush so hard, Sakura wondered if the shy-Hyuuga was gonna faint again. He didn't seem to notice and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and asked. "Hey, Hinata-chan, you wanna come eat ramen with me at lunch today. Granny said she was gonna have the cafeteria people serve some of it for me today. It's so cool being the god-son of a principal." he smiled warmly.

All Hinata could do was nod her head, and look over to Sakura and thanked her silently. The pinkette just winked and walked out of the infirmary with the others following closely behind, leaving the two alone. As they walked down the hall the girls suddenly turned their heads to the boys and looked at them skeptically. All the guys did were raise their brows. Ino stared holes into Shikamaru's head until he finally caved, creeped-out-of-his-flippin'-mind. "What?!" he asked/shouted.

Tenten decided to answer his frantic question. "What does all your pouts look like? Neji, sweetie, if you show me I'll bare your children!" Neji blushed and stared shocked at his girlfriend. Sasuke and Shikamaru coughed loudly, choking on their own spit from hearing Tenten's direct statement. Ino and Sakura burst into fits of laughter, not caring if their torso's hurt whenever they did. Pretty soon Tenten joined into their pits of laughter also, Sakura pointed at their shocked faces. "You should have seen your face, you looked so constipated!!!"

Neji blushed. Constipated? He looked constipated? He glared at huffed. "Shut it before I stick your head in a toilet Sasuke," he said, stopping the onyx-eyed teen form uttering a word. Sasuke just glared, but kept his mouth shut none the less. "Whatever, come on guys lets get to class before we all have after school detention."

They all nodded their heads and walked to their perspective classes.

"Hey, Sasuke, is it true you screamed like a girl when Orochimaru-sensei groped your butt?" the onyx-eyed teen stared shocked at Sakura and blushed. Covering his face with his hand, and holding a book up with the other. They all laughed once again.


A/N; Sweetness! I'm finally finished, with this chapter I mean. Anyways, I really hope you liked it. This chapter also seems to be my favorite. And yes I know weird right, Ino had made-out with Kiba! I hope you aren't to confused. I tried my best to keep it all together and understandable. Also wanted to know if you guys could give me some ideas on what songs I coulb possibly use if I ever did another thing with the Akatsuki and all. Maybe some songs for Sakura if ever plan on her singing again. All I own is depressing stuff, lol. . . no seriously.

Thanks for reading! Review please! Sorry for any mistakes!
