Here's chapter two of my first story on this account! Hopefully everybody will enjoy this chapter, as I know I will enjoy typing it up. Hopefully it won't take three hours like the last chapter...

No answers to reviews this chapter since I haven't even been able to post the first chapter of the story yet. Oh, and since I haven't said this yet, Gaara and his siblings don't have last names in this like in the series, but will be called, 'Sabaku no Gaara', 'Sabaku no Temari', and 'Sabaku no Kankurou'.

Chapter Two: Can The Teachers Be Any Stranger?

Their argument would have continued had the bell not rung just then. Everybody started scattering into their seats around the room, a few of them being fought over. One of the many being the only seat left next to Sasuke.

"I'm sitting next to Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said, shoving Ino and a few other random girls out of the way.

"No, I am!" Ino yelled shoving everybody else back the other way.

The fight went on for about five minutes, until somebody finally noticed the missing aspect of their classroom. Amazingly, it was Naruto who first noticed this fact. "Hey guys? Where's our teacher?"

That shut everybody up until he started getting replies like, "Yeah, where the hell is he?", "What are we supposed to do without a teacher?", and "If we're stuck with a substitute on the first day I'm going to die, they're always so stupid!".

Right after the last comment a man in jeans and a black turtleneck that went up to the bridge of his nose with a bandana covering his left eye walked in. He was reading a book which the people closer to the front of the room could read the front, which said, "Come, Come Paradice". The man just sat down at his desk and put his feet up on the top of it.

"Hey, if you're our teacher aren't you supposed to tell us our assignment instead of reading dirty books!" Kiba yelled, pointing at the teacher. "And why are you five minutes late!"

"If any of you were smart enough to think of looking there, which I see one student did, the assignment is on the board. And pinkie gets to sit in the desk next to that guy. All of the rest of you pick a seat and read the board. And for the red haired guy who already started the assignment, you get a dollar." Their teacher, which many had already looked to the board and found out his name was Kakashi, threw a paper airplane shaped dollar towards Gaara, making it land on his desk right on top of the book that they were supposed to have gotten and started reading to take a quiz for the next day.

(A/N: That actually did happen to me at the start of this school year, I was the only one working on the first day so I got a dollar from the teacher... I am now mutually hated by everybody in my home room/first hour class.)

Everybody got to work and when Gaara was done (and everybody else was half way done, except for Sasuke who was already finished also), the teacher put a book mark in his book and picked up a piece of paper from his desk. "Now that we only have about five minutes left, we're going to do a 'fun' roll call game. When I call your name, you need to tell us your age, your favorite color, and what middle school you came from. Make sure to stand up for when you speak also."

Everybody groaned, since they would have homework on the first day just because of not looking at the board when they walked in.

"Okay, good. Aburame Shino."

"I'm 14, my favorite color is black, and I'm from Konoha Middle School."

"Akimichi Chouji."

"Hello, I'm Akimichi Chouji and I'm 14 years old. My favorite color is green and I came from Konoha Middle School."

"Enahi Rita."

"I'm Rita, and I absolutely adore the color pink and I came from Konoha Middle School! I'm 14 like all of the others, of course."

"Okay, good. Haruno Sakura."

"I'm Haruno Sakura, currently 14 years old. My favorite colors are pink and red and I came from Konoha Middle School!" She smiled and sat back down to continue admiring Sasuke.

"Hyuuga Hinata."

"I'm Hyuuga Hinata, the heir to my family's fortune. I'm 14 years old and my favorite color is lavender. I came from Konoha Middle School also..."

"Jeez, are all of you from Konoha Middle School or something? Whatever... Inuzuka Kiba. And you know you're not allowed to have your dog in school, right?"

"I already know that and I don't care! Hmph... Well, I'm Inuzuka Kiba and 14 years old. My favorite color is either tan or grey, and I'm also from Konoha Middle School, practically all of us in this class are."

"Mikochi Sherubi"

"I'm Sherubi and I was also home schooled until this year, I'm currently 14 years old and my favorite colors are black and red." The girl had shoulder length blonde hair pulled back into a pony-tail with strands of hair hanging beside her face on both sides. She was wearing a red and gold Chinese style shirt with black shin-length pants.

"Nakashi Ayame"

"Heh, I'm Ayame, I'm currently 14 years old and I came from Oto Middle School and my favorite color is... Or I should say favorite colors are black and blue." Everybody stared at her, Oto Middle School and Oto High School were the arch rivals of Konoha Middle School and Konoha High School.

"Nara Shikamaru"

"I'm 14, my favorite color is forest green, and I'm from Konoha Middle School..." Shikamaru yawned and put his head down on his folded arms on his desk and fell asleep.

"Sabaku no Gaara"

"I'm 14, I'm from Suna Middle School, my favorite color is black."

"Takahashi Kayato"

"I'm Kayato, I went to Mizu Middle School and just moved here this summer. It's my 15th birthday in two days, so obviously I'm 14, and my favorite color is white." In fact, her hair was a ghostly white color, it almost looked like it would glow in the dark. Besides her white hair she was dressed all in black with her shirt being long-sleeved and her pants being knee-length shorts.

"Takahashi Satsuya"

"I'm Satsuya and am Kayato's twin, so obviously we'd both go to the same Middle School last year, and obviously I have the same birthday as her also. My favorite color differs though, my favorite color is dark blue." His hair was dark blue, though it had a few blonde highlights near the front. He was wearing a white short-sleeve shirt with brown shorts.

"Uchiha Sasuke."

"I'm Uchiha Sasuke, the younger brother of the head of Konoha Inc. My favorite colors are black and blue. I'm 14 years old and I've been home-schooled since third grade."

"Interesting... Uzumaki Naruto."

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! I'm 14 years old and came from Konoha Middle School! My favorite colors are orange and blue!"

"Okay, now that that is over with, the bell will ring in about a minute. Start packing up your books and all of that." The bell rung and everybody left quickly, wanting to get to their next class on time so they wouldn't have to face the wrath of the teachers.

"Okay, girls! Since you have Gym 7th hour you'll be having me as your coach! Just call me Anko-sensei, I hear you calling me anything other than that from even one persons mouth and you'll all be running 100 laps around the track after school! That's a total of 25 miles for those of you who are idiots and can't do math!"

Everybody's back was practically up against the lockers, and they were all sitting stalk straight. I have a feeling gym is going to be one of my least favorite subjects this year... Hinata thought while being squashed between Kayato (who had refused to wear the gym uniform since it wasn't black or white) and a 10th grader who she'd already learned was sort of her cousin's girlfriend, named Tenten.

"Today we will be playing co-ed..." A few of the girls gasped and started gossiping, making Anko cut off in mid-sentence to decide whether to kill them or just yell their brains out. "SHUT THE HELL UP YOU EGOTISTICAL BEAUTY QUEENS!"

Crickets could be heard chirping, even though there wasn't even one in the locker room as far as everybody knew, because Anko would have had a fit and squashed it violently if there had been. "Okay, as I was saying. We're going to be playing co-ed dodgeball. If you girls don't win you'll all be staying after school and cleaning the whole locker room from the ceiling to the floor. You can now complain about it, though I won't really be listening. You have two minutes."

Whispers could instantly be heard coming down the line of 10th and 11th grade girls on the right side of Hinata saying, "Leave this to Temari and Tenten, and let the freshmen try too..." The two minutes were up all too quickly, and they were lead out to the gym where the boys already were seeing they were being forced to do sit ups and pushups by their fuzzy-eyebrowed green-wearing gym teacher.

"That it boys! Down, one! Down, two! Down, three!"

"Ahem, Gai... GET YOUR STUDENTS UP SO WE CAN START THE GAME ALREADY!"

"SORRY, BEAUTIFUL ANKO! I WAS JUST MAKING SURE THEIR FLAMES OF YOUTH WERE AS BRIGHT AS THEY COULD BE FOR OUR GREAT COMPETITION WHERE THEIR FLAMES WILL BURN WITH PASSION THEY HAVEN'T EVER FELT BEFORE!"

"Shut up, you babbling idiot. Boys on the left half of the gym, girls on the right!" Everybody didn't really have to move since they were already basically on the right side of the gym. Anko and Gai placed the balls on the middle line in the gym and moved off to the sidelines.

"If you get hit even once, come and sit on the bleachers. As soon as I say 'go' run to the middle and get as many balls as you can. Ready, GO!" All of the boys (except for Shikamaru who was leaning against the wall sleeping) started rushing towards the center, while the only girls who were running towards the center were Hinata, Sakura, Ino, Kayato, Ayame, Sherubi, Tenten, and Temari.

Crap! How are eight girls going to be able to stand up to almost thirty boys! Temari was thinking when she grabbed two balls from the center of the gym. "Aren't all of you weaklings even going to try! Or do you want to be stuck here after school cleaning the locker room! What's more important to you, perfect nails and hair or having your clothes covered in dirt and cleaning supplies!"

"We can always go out and buy more —" A girl was starting a sentence when she was hit in the face with one of the rubber balls. "AAHHH! You jerk, what are you doing hitting a girl in the face!"

The voice that replied back was the voice of Uchiha Sasuke. "That's the point of this game, idiot." A smirk crossed his face as the girl walked dejectedly towards the sidelines and sat on the bleachers moping.

Only about five minutes afterward the boy team and the girl team were reduced down to almost even numbers, though the boys still had a few more people. All that was left for them were Sasuke, Neji, Naruto, Kiba, Chouji, Gaara, Satsuya, Rock Lee, and Shino.

All of the girly-girls were now sitting on the bleachers accompanied by Ino who had caught a ball but it fell out of her hands and it counted as a hit. All of the balls were on the girls side, so they had a bit of an advantage and they couldn't be hit while they planned, so they got together in a group and whispered about what they should do to win.

"Okay, wh-what should we d-d-do now?" Hinata stuttered, looking around the circle at the other six girls.

"We have to confuse them, and slowly bring their numbers down. I say we go for Chouji first so we can get him out of the way... Afterwards we can go after Naruto, Kiba, Shino, Sasuke, Gaara, Lee, then Neji... We'll fit Satsuya in whenever, just try and hit him at some point. " Sherubi said, a smirk crossing her face.

"Okay, good plan..." Tenten said, deep in thought for a moment. "Why did you pick that order, though?"

"She's going from the weakest to the strongest as far as we've seen." Temari said in a matter-of-fact kind of voice.

"Okay, so everybody grab a few balls and bring them up and set them by you so you can fire quickly. How about we have Ayame yell go and then we all start chucking them at Chouji. We'll have to dodge for quite a bit after that, but we can do it..." Kayato said.

"Okay! I'd be glad to do that!" Ayame yelled, earning a few 'shush's from her teammates.

"Okay, so we're ready to do this..." Sakura said, she was now smirking along with all the other girls, since they had come up with a good plan. "Let's start."

They then ran off and started gathering the balls and heading up near the center court line. Once they were all positioned so they could get a good shot at Chouji Ayame yelled as loud as she could, "Ready, and... FIRE! Go!"

Nothing much can compare to the sting of getting hit several times simultaneously by red rubber balls, except for maybe if they weren't rubber and blocks of cement instead... You get the point. Chouji quickly walked out and sat on the bleachers, watching as the boys left started retaliating.

While trying to dodge one of the balls Sakura tripped and twisted her ankle, so she was taken out of the game and sent to the nurses office. The numbers of people on the teams were uneven again, though everybody on the girls side had optimism and thought they were going to win, even the girly-girls had started cheering a bit.

They had almost all the balls again, so they started chucking them at Naruto after the boys didn't even have enough for each member of their team. Naruto didn't get out as quickly as Chouji because he wasn't as big of a target, but he did get hit in the leg and was sent to the bleachers complaining about how it was a 'cheap shot'.

"Come on! You boys can't even do better than this!" Kayato yelled while dodging several of the shots aimed at her or Tenten (who was standing about five feet behind her).

"Just shut up, you know I've always been better than you at everything, Kayato!" Satsuya yelled, he quickly dodged a ball thrown at him by his twin sister and stood up straight, smirking. Little did he know that from the opposite side of the gym a ball had been thrown at him by Temari, nailing him right in the side of his leg making him fall embarrassingly onto his face, giving him a bloody nose.

All the girls in the bleachers started laughing, most of the boys did too. He just walked to the bleachers and pulled a dark blue handkerchief out of the pocket of his gym shorts and started trying to stop the bleeding.

Now, I could bore you with all the details of how all of the boys and girls got out until there were only two left, one on each side. Just to make it simple, there weren't any more injuries except for bruises where the balls hit them, and nobody started crying.

The two that were left were none other than Neji and Tenten. "This is going to be hilarious..." Temari (who was one of Tenten's friends) said, snickering. "Those two are overly competitive when they're near each other, you should've seen them at the video game tournament they went to last year..."

"You know you can't beat me, Tenten." Neji said cooly, smirking the whole time.

"Then why did I beat you last year at the video game tournament, Neji-chan." Tenten was smirking also.

"My hands were sweaty, and besides that, what does video games have to do with dodgeball?"

"Just the fact that I beat you there like I'm about to do now."

"CAN YOU BOTH JUST SHUT UP AND GET ON WITH IT!" Anko yelled from the sideline, the people who were on the bleachers near her scooted away, and Gai did too, since he had been standing right next to her.

Tenten shrugged and chucked the ball at Neji, missing his right shoulder by a fraction of an inch, and Neji threw the ball that he was holding at her right after dodging her attack. Tenten literally jumped over the ball that was heading towards her knees, making it miss and slam into the mats that were stacked up near the wall. Cheers came from the girls side of the bleachers.

Then, simultaneously, each of them picked up a ball and chucked it at the other, only for it to hit the other's ball and make them bounce back and hit the thrower right in the face. Several people in the 'audience' sweatdropped. "Um... Well... I guess it's a tie." Anko said, sweatdropping herself.

Everybody just sat there for a minute while both Tenten and Neji were knocked out cold on the gym floor. Eventually Gai decided it was his duty to speak. "SO! WHO WILL BE TAKING THESE TWO UNCONSCIOUS YOUTHFUL SPIRITS TO THE NURSES OFFICE?"

Lee immediately offered to help with Neji, dragging Naruto down with him to help carry him. Temari also got pulled down by Anko along with Hinata for carrying Tenten to the nurses office. Everybody still kept sitting there, until the bell rang and they all dashed into the locker rooms, a few of them screaming about how they were going to miss the bus.

And so, that's how their first day ended... Though there still was the band tryouts that afternoon 30 minutes after the end-of-the-day bell rang...

So... That was the second chapter. The whole Neji-Tenten thing at the end where they tied... I couldn't think of a way to make one person win, so that's what happened...

Eh, until next chapter, sayonara minna-san.
