Temari P.O.V.
I was sitting in the bleachers alone. Deidara had to go sing for the last few songs, and the guys had gone off somewhere. And when they got back The Akatsuki was on their last song and the bell for school to be over was about to ring. "Where have you guys been?" I asked when they sat down.
"We went for a walk," Sasuke told me. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Why did you go for a walk?" I asked.
"Because we were bored," Gaara told me with a sigh looking out to the band.
"We met Ino, Chouji, and Shino on the way. They were vandalising lockers and stuff trying to get you and your brothers in trouble," Naruto said with a frown. I looked at Kankuro and Gaara.
"Don't worry. They'll be in more trouble than us. It was off in an area where we weren't allowed to be," Kankuro told me. I gave him a disappointed look and crossed my arms. He didn't say anything.
"Whatever, as long as you guys don't get in trouble for being over there, and we don't get in trouble for the lockers," I told him with a sigh.
Kankuro P.O.V.
When the band was done playing the lights went on and the teachers were standing at all the doors out of the gym. The principle went up on the stage. Deidara handed her the microphone and backed away. Everyone went quiet and looked at her a little confused. Then she started to talk. "I hope you all had a great time at the dance today," she said with a smile. Everyone cheered. "Now I would like you all to give a big thanks to The Akatsuki for their great performance. That was a long show and they told me before the dance that they thought they might run out of songs to play. Usually there concerts wouldn't go so long, and they still have another performance tonight. So I hope you guys didn't tire them out too much," she told the school. Everyone cheered and clapped again. Once Tsunade got everyone quiet she spoke again. "Now as you know its weekend now, and spring break. That means there is only three months of school before the summer." Tsunade was cut off by a burst of cheering. It took a while, but she managed got their attention. "So anyways, I wanted to wish you all a good spring break. Have lots of fun because school starts again in a few weeks," she said happily. Then her expression changed. "But before you all go, I need these people to stay behind," she said a little angry. Everyone looked around and began to whisper. Tsunade took a deep breath and called out the names off a sheet of paper. "Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Aburame Shino, Akimichi Chouji, Yamanaka Ino, Rock Lee, Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari," she sighed and then looked up at the rest of the students. "Everyone else can go." The gym slowly began to clear and the teachers watched every student carefully that were leaving to make sure the people that were called didn't leave too. I looked around and saw Kiba, Hinata, Neji, and Tenten. Neji pointed at him and the other three and at the door. I nodded and waved guessing that he meant they would wait outside the door for us. Then him and the other three disappeared into the people and left the gym.
Gaara P.O.V.
I sighed and looked around at the now almost empty gym. The only people left were the teachers standing at the doors, Tsunade, the people that were called to stay, and The Akatsuki. "So I guess we aren't going to get off the hook for the lockers," I said. Temari stood up to go down to Tsunade.
"This isn't fair, I wasn't even there," she said angrily. Kankuro, Lee, Naruto, Sasuke, and I followed her down the bleacher stairs.
When we got to her Ino, Chouji, and Shino were there waiting already in front of an angry Tsunade. We stood behind them and listened to the conversation they were having with her. "Why are we getting in trouble, we were the ones that pointed the lockers out to you," Ino said angrily.
"That's exactly why you're here. You weren't supposed to be over in that area," she told her. Ino crossed her arms.
"So we do get to see them getting in trouble," I said in a whisper with a smirk.
"That's not funny Gaara. We're getting in trouble too, remember?" Kankuro told me in whisper back. I sighed.
Tsunade turned to us now. "These three said they found you guys in the hallways up stairs by the grade twelve lockers. They said that Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari were doing things to the lockers. Then they said they went back later and saw you guys showing Lee, Naruto, and Sasuke what you did. Then they said that they came to stop you guys and talk to you about it, but you threatened them," she said angrily. No one said anything so Tsunade continued. "I went to look at the lockers and your names were on some of them," she said. "I was just wondering one thing. Who in their right mind signs something they vandalize?"
"See, that's just the thing," I said getting brave. "If we did do it, why would we put our names if we knew we could get in big trouble for doing something like that? We were framed."
"And who were you framed by?" Tsunade asked.
"Ino, Chouji, and Shino of cores, they are the ones that say we were there doing it," I told her. Tsunade thought for a moment.
"Or you did do it and once you saw that we saw you and were going to tell on you, you signed your names to make it look like you were framed," Ino said crossing her arms with a smirk like she had just thought of the best come back ever.
"That's stupid," Temari said. "I have proof that I wasn't even there." We looked at her.
"Saying you went for a drink and when you came back we were gone isn't proof," I told her in a whisper. Kankuro elbowed me in the shoulder. I glared at him.
"Do you really have proof?" Tsunade asked. Temari nodded.
"Ask Deidara, I was with him," she told her. I glared at her now.
"You told me you were just going for a drink," I said. Kankuro elbowed me again and Temari sighed.
Tsunade turned to the Akatsuki. Itachi was sitting there glaring at Sasuke as Sasuke tried to hide himself behind Naruto trying not to look at his brother. But as soon as Tsunade looked over Itachi looked away from him and pretended to be doing something to help the band take down their things. "Deidara, can you come over here for a minute?" Tsunade yelled at him. Deidara looked at Itachi, and Itachi nodded. Then Deidara came over to where we were.
"What's up?" he asked. I glared at him and he gave me a small smile. Tsunade talked with him for a bit, and then sent him away. Then she turned back to us.
"Well it seems Temari was with him at the time," she said. Chouji and Shino started to not make eye contact with Tsunade and Ino crossed her arms angrily.
"See I told you we never did it," I told her. "Those three were lying." Tsunade shook her head.
"All that proves was that Temari wasn't there. That means they lied about one thing, and I trust their story less. It also means that Temari is no longer part of this. You may go," she said looking at Temari. Temari nodded. Then she gave the rest of us a little smile and left the gym.
Temari P.O.V.
I got into the hallway where Neji, Tenten, Kiba, and Hinata were waiting. When they saw me come out of the door they smiled a little. But then they frowned as they saw that the others weren't with me. "What's going on in there?" Kiba asked as soon as the door closed. "And why did you get to go?" I sighed and explained to him and the others about what the whole thing was about, and their frowns grew.
"They didn't do it though, right?" Hinata asked.
"I don't know, I wouldn't think they did it. I'm hoping that what they said was true and that Ino, Chouji, and Shino did it and framed them," I said.
"I'm sure they were framed. I mean they aren't stupid enough to sign their names. And why would they sign yours on it too if they did," Neji said.
"They wouldn't sign my name. They wouldn't even sign theirs. But Tsunade isn't convinced that it was the other three that did it," I told him.
"But she has proof that Ino, Chouji, and Shino were there. She had no proof that the others were there at all," Tenten said a little angry now.
"I know," I told her. "But I have no idea what Tsunade is thinking."
Kankuro P.O.V.
We stood there arguing about this matter with the popular kids for a few more minutes. "But why would we sign our own sisters' name?" Gaara asked. I nodded.
"We wouldn't want her to get in trouble for something we did," I said.
"Ha! So you agree you did it," Ino said happily.
"No we never," I said. "I'm just saying that we wouldn't sign her name on anything we did. And besides no one is stupid enough to sign their own names on something they did anyways."
"You have no proof we were even there," Gaara told Tsunade as he looked at her now. "You have proof those three were there, not us. They already lied about seeing Temari there. Their word shouldn't be worth much right now." No one said anything because there was nothing to say. There was no way to prove what Gaara said was wrong, and there was no way to back it up either. After a few second Sasuke broke the silence.
"And why are Lee, Naruto, and I even here? There is no proof we were there either. Like Gaara said Ino, Chouji, and Shino lied about Temari being there, so what else did they lie about? Our names aren't on anything, there is no evidence we were there watching or they were showing us it. There is no reason to keep us here," he said looking at Tsunade confidently.
"Fine, Lee, Sasuke, and Naruto, you may go too," she said.
"We'll wait for you two outside the gym," Naruto whispered to Gaara and I. And once the gym doors closed it was just Gaara and I against Ino, Chouji, and Shino.
Temari P.O.V.
Hinata, Tenten, Neji, Kiba, and I jumped when the gym door opened. We smiled as Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee came out. But then the door closed without Gaara and Kankuro coming out. "Where are my brothers?" I asked.
"They're still in there, but I'm sure they'll get out soon. Tsunade is starting to lean more in their favour," Sasuke said with a smirk.
"Why, what happened?" Kiba asked. Lee and Naruto explained what had happened after I left.
"So, so far she thinks that Ino, Chouji, and Shino weren't telling the truth about two of the things they told her," Neji said as he thought. Naruto nodded.
"And she has proof that they lied about one thing. And the other she couldn't say if they lied or not. So she just said that we could go," Lee told everyone.
"So there are two strikes against them. One more and they'll get what they deserve for trying to get us in trouble," I said. Everyone's mood lightened a little and we watched the door quietly hopping to see Kankuro and Gaara come out next.
Gaara P.O.V.
I stood there glaring at Ino, Chouji, and Shino. They tried to get us in trouble and it was slowly back firing on them. I could see them squirming trying to think of something to prove their lies were the truth. A smirk came across my face as they looked over at me and Kankuro, and they began to get nervous. They should know by now that they can't beat us. They've been trying since we go here, and nothing has worked. We've slowly put them in their place. I erased the smirked from my face and looked up at Tsunade as she began to speak. "I'm starting to think you three framed them," she said turning to Ino, Chouji, and Shino. "They have more proof that they never did it then you have that they did. All I have to go by is your word, and it has proven to be a lie once. And because of that I had to let Sasuke, Naruto, and Lee off the hook. There is no proof that they were there or not, just your word. But since it was wrong about Temari I had to let them go. They didn't even directly come out and say 'we weren't even there, those three are lying.' They just said that you could be lying about that too and there was no evidence. So since that was true I had to let them go." Tsunade sighed. "Do you have any evidence besides your word and their names on the lockers?" she asked. "If not I'm going to have to let them go too." They didn't say anything, and I started to smirk again. Tsunade looked at Kankuro and me. "You two can go," she said. My smirk grew and as we left the gym. I heard Tsunade tell the other three that they would be punished for going in an area they weren't allowed in by having to clean the mess on the lockers.
