I'm going to try and rap this story up by chapter…. 40 I guess. But don't hold your breath cause I have no idea if it'll last longer. After this update, I'll only update on weekends since I start school tomorrow. It is possible that I'll update during the week, but again, don't hold your breath.

The next day, Akira came to school in crutches. Let's explore the wonderful powers of flashbacks to find out how this happened.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Pass the ball, Lee!" someone shouted from the stands.

"Wait, I can score!!!" Lee exclaimed as he passed all of the other players and was heading towards the net.

Kakashi slapped his forehead. Yes, Kakashi is the soccer coach.

Lee, ran close to the net and tried to score. Everyone was holding his or her breath but… yeah, he goalie caught it, barely.

"Lee! You should try and pass the ball!! Then it'll go in for sure!!" Akira shouted.

"Sorry…" Lee said.

"Grr…" Akira growled as she backed away from the net. The goalie booted the ball back into play.

Ten-Ten was defense with Naruto, and Neji and Sasuke were midfield. Akira was forward with Lee and some other guy while someone else was in nets.

Sasuke caught it, ran up a bit but then someone was on him so he passed it to Lee, who was the only one open. Lee began running for the net again with no intentions of passing.

"This is for your own good Lee…" Akira said under her breath as she stole the ball and passed it to her other forward.

"What was that for?" Lee demanded.

"Forget it," Akira said as she ran up to help her teammate.

Lee, who was furious, chassed after her and intercepted the pass that Akira was about to receive. In doing so, Akira, who was prepared to do an awesome back kick that would have scored for sure, tripped and fell on her right leg.

She was sent to the hospital and got a cast. Everyone was worried and blah, blah, blah.

End of flashback.

"Hey, Akira!" Yumi ran up towards her. It was Tuesday morning, the morning right after the game, and everyone wanted to sign Akira's cast.

"Hey, Yumi. What's up?" Akira replied.

"Can I sign your cast?" Yumi smiled.

Akira was getting really annoyed right now. She was surrounded by a group of people that all wanted to sign her cast. Sakura and Ino were trying their best to shoo the people away.

"I swear, If I hear that question one more time today I'll-"

"Can I sign your cast, Akira?" Naruto walked up to her.

"Grr…"

Now the rest of the gang was coming towards her. Akira was fuming.

"Hey, chill out, Akira. You look like you're gonna blow a fuse," Kiba said.

"I can't chill out! These people are soooooo annoying!!!!"

"Come over here," Sasuke said.

"Why?"

"So we can sneak you away."

"Oh. Good plan."

Akira crept through the crowd and hid behind Sasuke and Naruto. Then they silently made their way to class.

In English...

"How long do you have to keep the cast for?" Ino asked as she signed her name on the cast along with a 'Get well' note. Everyone was waiting for Kakashi to get to class.

"I think the doctor said two weeks. I'm not sure," Akira replied.

"Ok, so we get to be your personal doctors slash nurses for two whole weeks!!" Sakura said. She just loved taking care of people (go figure, she's a medic nin).

"Nah, you guys don't have to do that."

"But we want to. You're our friend after all," Hinata said as she smiled sweetly.

"Ok, fine. But I'm not a very demanding person so don't expect to be running around doing stuff for me."

"Yeah, yeah. We'll still help you with your books. You can't carry them if you're holding your crutches, now can you?" Ten-Ten said.

"…Fine. I'll play doctor with you," Akira teased.

"I can't wait for the dance this Friday… It's going to be so cool!!" Ino exclaimed.

"Yeah, only if we get dates," Yumi said.

"Did you get you're dress, Yumi?" Hinata asked.

"Yup. I got it while Akira was in the hospital."

"Oh! What does it look like??" Ino demanded.

"Let's see… it's a short black dress with pink embroidered around the waist."

"It sounds so cute! I can't wait to see it!!"

"How about we get together before the dance and help each other get ready?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah! That would be great…. Oh shoot!" Akira started.

"What? What's wrong?" Ten-Ten asked.

"I can't go to the dance since I broke my leg…." Akira replied sadly.

"Aw man, it won't be any fun without you, Akira," Ino said.

Akira sighed, "I must be most unluckiest girl in the world."

"That's not true," Hinata said. "You have us."

"Yeah, and don't forget, you have Sasuke so don't you dare say that you're not lucky!" Sakura pitched in.

"Yeah, I guess… but if he was going to ask me to the dance then I'm missing a lot," Akira said.

Yumi shrugged, "If it makes you feel better, I won't go to the dance. I'll stay with you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I don't think that I'm gonna get a date anyways so what the heck."

"Hmm, I don't know… Kiba looks really interested…."

"What?"

"I think Kiba likes you."

"Kiba? No way! Are you serious?"

Akira shrugged, "He's always staring at you."

"He is?"

"Yeah, all the time. Don't you see him?"

Yumi raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious?"

"Promise that I'm not lying."

"Do you like him?" Hinata asked.

"I don't know, I barely know him," Yumi said.

"Well, I barely knew Sasuke when…. When…." Akira tried to find teh right words.

"When he kissed you?" Ten-Ten asked with a smirk.

"When you started going out?" Ino said.

"What? We're not going out!" Akira said.

"Yeah, you are. Well, you will be as soon as he actually asks you out," Ino replied.

"Yeah, like he's gonna do that."

"Why wouldn't he?" Ten-Ten asked. "I mean he kissed you, what? Two, three times?"

"Yeah well, it doesn't mean anything until he asks me out."

"Whatever," Ino said.

At the end of math class… The bell just rang to end the class and the students began filing out.

Sasuke grabbed Akira's books and bag.

"You don't have to, I can hold my books," Akira said as she reached for her crutches.

"I don't think you can," Sasuke retorted.

"Yes, I can." With that, Akira stood up on one foot, grabbed her bag and books, stuffed the books in her bag and slung her bag on her shoulder. Then she grabbed her crutches and began making her way towards the door.

Once she was half way to the door, she dropped one of her crutches and her bag slid off her shoulder and onto the floor.

Sasuke smirked, "Oh yeah, you're doing just fine."

"Oh, shut up."

"You still want to do it by yourself?"

"…" Akira picked up her bag and tossed it to Sasuke. "Think fast."

Sasuke caught it and slung it on his shoulder. Then he picked up Akira's crutch that lay on the floor.

Akira reached out to grad it from him but Sasuke pulled away. "First, I have a question."

"What?" Akira asked.

"Are you going to go to that dance in crutches or what?"

"No. That would be stupid. I'm not going."

Akira tried to grab her crutch again but again, Sasuke pulled away. "I have another question."

"What now?"

"Instead of going to the dance, did you want to come over to my place?"

Akira stood with her feet glued to the floor, completely frozen.
