Temari P.O.V.

The next day the school was up and buzzing again. I didn't know what it was buzzing about, but the people were defiantly talking in a different tone than they had been when they were talking about us. It was a tone of slight disbelief, but the type of disbelief that said they felt stupid they didn't realize something before. What was even odder about it all was that people had stopped paying attention to Gaara, Kankuro, and I. We noticed this when we passed a group of kids that had been harassing us since the rumours got out, and they didn't even notice we were there.

I turned to Gaara after shutting my locker door. "What did you do?" I asked in confusion. I was almost positive he'd done something. He never jokes about getting back at someone for trying to hurt him.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," he told me with a shrug as he closed his locker too, but I could see a slight smirk on his face as a group of girls walked past. They gave one sharp glare at us before going on their way talking about whatever it was they were talking about. Not something that was very normal recently.

"No really, what did you do?" I asked him. "You're not going to get attacked for it, are you?" Gaara shrugged.

"For all the people in this school know I have no idea what's going on. I haven't done anything," he told me.

"Temari and I know you better than that though Gaara," Kankuro told him coming to stand beside me.

"You'll just have to wait and listen to the other people than if you want to know what's going on. I'm not blowing everything just so you can be in on it," he said tuning his back to us.

"Don't you dare walk away from us again!" I yelled at him, but he just kept walking waving slightly back at us as he went.

Kankuro P.O.V.

I watched as Temari kicked the locker beside her, which was hers, and left a small dent in the bottom. "I'm going to kill that little brat! What the hell's gotten into him!" she yelled not caring that the people around us were now looking in our direction.

"Oh come on. You know Gaara, once he gets an idea to do something he goes for it and doesn't let anyone get in his way. Even if that means he has to act a little differently for a while," I told her grabbing her shirt sleeve and pulling her down the hall to get away from the glaring eyes and harsh silence.

"He makes me so mad sometimes," Temari said in a normal tone again apparently noticing what was going on. "I want to know what everyone's talking about. I want to know what he did." I sighed quietly and shook my head.

"I'll ask Tenten about it later, she'll know," I reassured her. This seemed to lighten her mood a bit as I left her at a hallway intersection and headed to class.

I walked into the classroom and sat down at my seat with Neji, Lee, and Tenten. Neji and Lee were sitting in their seats wide-eyed listening as Tenten talked quickly and excitedly. "And so everyone in school thinks she did it! She's in huge trouble with the Tsunade! She and the teachers have brought her in for questioning!" Tenten was saying when I entered the conversation.

"Who did what?" I asked her raising an eyebrow.

"Ino pushed Sakura off the school roof! Everyone's talking about!" Tenten said even louder making the few people in the room look over at her and start their own little conversation.

My eyes went wide and my mouth opened slightly. "No she didn't," I said leaning in and talking quietly so the other people in the room couldn't hear. "Sasuke did, we all know that." My three friends nodded shivering slightly.

"But that's not what everyone else is saying. They're saying Ino did, and it got to the teachers. She's been in questioning since she got here just after us ten minutes ago," Tenten informed me talking quietly too now.

"But what I don't get is why someone would bring all this up again after so long just after everyone's finally gotten over it," Neji said looking as if he was in deep thought.

"Yeah, what's this going to do besides get people in an uproar again? Besides keep people off us for a while that is," Lee added in an almost whisper rubbing his forehead.

"Gaara did it," I said moving my chair forward and scraping it on the ground loudly for extra caution of people hearing. The other three went wide-eyed.

"What do you mean?" Neji asked.

"He said he was going to do something to get back at her. So this must be it," I told him.

"But how'd he pull it off? I didn't even know who the source of this and I usually figure it out right away," Tenten said staring at me. I shook my head.

"I don't know," I told her.

Gaara P.O.V.

When I walked into the classroom Kiba and Sasuke looked up at me grinning. "Well, you did it," Kiba said. "I hate to say it, but I didn't think it'd work." I walked over to the table and sat down across from Hinata who was looking completely confused.

"And Choji is?" I asked trailing off so someone could finish my sentence.

"With Shino wondering around the school waiting for Ino to be let out, where else would he be?" Sasuke asked me as if it was a stupid question I'd just asked. I ignored this though.

"Good and how many people know about Ino?" I asked them.

"Probably almost the whole school by now," Naruto told me a little tonelessly. "It's been nice to not have people yelling at me down the halls." Hinata looked back and forth from all of us as we talked before looking very confused and angry causing her to speak up.

"What are you guys talking about? Why are you so interested in Ino, Shino, and Choji all of a sudden?" she asked giving us questioning looks. I laughed slightly.

"What, didn't know hear?" I asked her. She raised her eyebrow at me. "Ino pushed Sakura off the school during the dance and has been doing a hell of a job keeping people from knowing until now," I told her. She went wide-eyed.

"What, no, I thought," She cut herself off looking at Sasuke and back at me. "What did you do?" She almost yelled.

Sasuke and I started to laugh. Kiba held his in because he didn't want to make his girlfriend feel bad and Naruto just didn't seem too amused with what was going on. "That's the same thing Temari asked me this morning," I told Hinata with a little smirk. "But like I told her, for all the school knows I didn't do anything." Hinata gave me a little glare.

"How could you stoop down to her level?" she asked raising her voice. "The rumours about us would have blown over in a few more days! Ino could get in serious trouble over this! You guys could get in serious trouble over this, and so could the rest of us! We were all in on what happened that night, after it did happen, and we didn't stand up and tell anyone about it! Do you even realize what you might have just done?"

That was the second time I'd seen Hinata this angry. The first being when she was mad at Neji. Sasuke and Kiba didn't look too happy about things anymore, and I let out a little sigh. "Nothing's going to happen. I thought this through, don't worry," I told her and looked at the others too.

"How do you know nothing's going to happen? I'm sure Ino has an alibi in Shino or Choji!" Hinata was still yelling at me and I laughed slightly.

"It's ok. We have someone on the inside. No one's going to find out the truth. The most that's going to happen is the principle figuring it was just another rumour and putting it to an end to it herself. And the most that's going to happen to Ino is her feeling what it's like to be on the other side of things," I told her reassuringly.

"I hope for all our sakes you're right," she said in a slight mumble and looked away from me at the table.
