Hey everyone. Sorry it took me so long to update, I was sick for a week and you know how that goes with school, your whole schedule is mixed up. Anyway be ready for some very exciting chapters coming up (evil smirk).

Enough about that, I have been trying to find this story that I read a while ago. These pirates kidnap Sakura because she has some kind of necklace or something. The pirates were Itachi, Sasuke, Neji, Naruto and Sasori, I think. If any of you know anything about this story, it would be much appreciated because it was very interesting and I wanted to know if they ever updated again. Now this chapter is super long for your enjoyment.


Previous Chapter:

"I don't have a partner," Sakura said raising her hand.

"I can be her partner," Sasuke and Gaara said together. They glared at each other.

"Well, that is a problem. You can work with-"

Kakashi was interrupted when two girls in matching nurse outfits came into the room. They walked over to Neji's empty desk and placed a sofa cushion on the chair, breakfast on the desktop, and placed a book bag on the floor.

"Everything is ready, Mr. Hyuuga," the girls said.

"Thank you ladies," a voice said from outside.

"Oh boy," Naruto whispered.

Neji walked into the classroom on his crutches. His hair was loose and out of its normal ponytail. He was wearing long black pants and a white muscle shirt. His pearly white eyes scanned across the room at everyone until his eyes landed on Sakura and he smirked.

"I'm back."

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. :(

Chapter 14: Crazy Day

Sakura could only look as the nurses escorted Neji to his desk, took his crutches and gently helped him into his seat. When he was comfortable they bowed to him. "Will that be all Mr. Hyuuga?" one of them asked.

"Yes thank you."

The nurses exited the room closing the door.

Everybody was staring at Neji by now especially Sakura.

After a moment of silence Kakashi spoke.

"Well since Neji has decided to join us, Sasuke and Gaara will work together and you, Sakura, will work with Neji.

"What?" Sasuke and Gaara shouted. "I don't want to work with him!" They said at the same time.

"Why can't I work with Gar-Gar?" Ino whined.

"Gar-Gar?" Gaara said confused.

"That's my pet name for you," Ino smiled winking at him.

"My decision is final. No changing partners. Work quietly though, I'm very busy," Kakashi sat down in his seat, opened the new issue of Ichi Ichi Paradise and began reading.

Sakura turned her head and looked at Neji. "Are you okay?" She had a concerned look on her face as she moved her desk closer to his so they could work.

Neji looked at the sad look on her face. "I'm good, it's just a broken leg and a few bruises."

He turned his head away from her. "The only think hurt was my pride."

"I'm really sorry about all of it. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Neji turned back and looked her in her eyes. "A kiss upon your lips will soothe my soul."

Sakura let out a sigh. "I beat you to a bloody pulp and you're still flirting with me?"

"Yeah why not?' Neji smirked. "I'm sorry if you couldn't handle all of this that you lost control of yourself. One kiss from me can make you do that."

"Please your kiss wasn't that good," Sakura muttered under her breathe.

Neji narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean it wasn't that good, who else have you been kissing to be comparing my skills?"

Naruto popped out of nowhere. "Well she was making out with Sasuke in a closet and she kissed Sasori at your Halloween party."

Neji gasped. "YOU KISSED SASUKE AND SASORI?"

The classroom got quiet real quick while everyone stared at Sakura.

"Great," Sakura growled. "Now everyone knows. Those kisses meant nothing. One of them was an accident and the other one was more of an attack."

"Sexual assault you mean," Naruto clarified for everyone. "We are in the process of pressing charges."

"How could you do this to me Sakura?" Neji frowned.

"Do what?"

"Cheat on me like this?"

"We were never going out."

"It's okay, I forgive you but you're going to have to make it up," Neji smirked.

"I don't know what your thinking-"

"You know it sounds like you guys are doing more talking and less writing," Kakashi said not taking his eye off the book. "This is for a grade."

Everyone worked quietly for the rest of the period. When the bell ringed Sakura grabbed her stuff and walked quickly to the gym.

"Wait up!" Neji panted trying to keep up.

Sakura whipped around. "What do you want?"

"I need a little help," he said kicking his back bag along with his good leg.

Sakura watched at Neji struggling to stay on his crutches. She picked up his bag and put it on her back. She moved out the way so he could walk ahead.

"You're helping me?" Neji said surprised.

"Well I am the reason that you're in this condition to start with so it's the least I can do."

She helped him to his Health class when she saw his nurses heading her way. "Oh look your helpers are here now."

She gently put his book bag on the floor. "I have to get to class."

Neji looked at her. "What you're just going to leave me here?"

Sakura already walking turned her head around. "Your nurses can handle the rest," she smiled.

"You still need to make up for your cheating!" He shouted after her getting stares from a few people.

Sakura proceeded to the gym, went to the locker room and changed into her clothes. When she came back out, Naruto, Shikamaru, Gaara, Shino, and Kiba were already on the bleachers. She started heading that way when she bumped into Sasuke.

"Oh it's you," Sakura said.

"Hn," was all that Sasuke said.

"What kind of response is that?"

"Hn."

"Are you ignoring me?"

"Hn."

"This is the best day ever," Sakura cheered.

"Don't get your hopes up pinky," Sasuke muttered walking away.

Naruto strolled over. "What's his problem?"

"I don't know and I really don't care."

Everyone sat down on the bleachers as Gai-sensei came out of his office.

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE, WE'RE GOING TO BE PLAYING DODGEBALL!"

"YEAH!" Rock Lee yelled. "IT IS A VERY YOUTHFUL GAME!"

"OKAY!" Gai pointed. "THIS HALF OF THE CLASS YOU ARE TEAM A. THE REST OF YOU ARE TEAM B! He saw that the students weren't moving and brought his whistle to his lips. "LET'S MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT!"

"I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it, we like to MOVE IT!" Naruto singed walking on to the court.

Sakura glanced at the team. She had Rock Lee, Naruto, Gaara, Itachi, Shino and some of the lazy girls in their class that like to play with their hair and do their makeup.

"I like to shake it shake it," Naruto continued. He put his hands on Sakura's hips. "She likes to shake it shake it."

Sakura elbowed him in the stomach. "Oww," Naruto whined dropping to the floor.

Sakura glared at his squirming on the floor. "That's what you get."

Gai-sensei set up the balls in the middle and told each team to line up against the wall.

"OKAY, WHEN I BLOW THE WHISTLE YOU RUN AND GET AS MANY BALLS AS YOU CAN! NO THROWING BELOW THE BELT!"

Sasuke glared at her from across the gym. Sakura glared back and got in the running position.

Gai blew his whistle and everyone ran to grab balls as quickly as they could. Sakura grabbed two balls and backed up from the line. She dodged all the balls being thrown at her. She looked for an easy target to get out first. She spotted Ino standing in the middle fixing her ponytail. She threw the ball softly and it hit her on the shoulder.

"INO YOU'RE OUT!" Gai howled pointing to the bleachers.

Ino shrugged. "Oh well."

A fast ball flew pass her head. She saw Sasuke smirking as he got ready to launch another one. Sakura rolled on the floor and threw one at him.

"What's your problem?" Sakura said.

"What makes you think I have a problem?"

Itachi strolled over. "He's just mad because you said his kiss meant nothing, zero, zip, zilch, ni-"

"Was I talking to you?" Sasuke growled.

"No need to get mad at me just because you aren't that great of a kisser."

Sasuke threw a ball at his brother hitting him in the face. "Looks like your out."

Itachi glared at Sasuke.

"ITACHI, YOU'RE OUT," Gai yelled.

Itachi then grabbed Sakura lifting her off the floor and gave her a hug. "I'll see you later, honey."

"Don't call me honey and put me down," Sakura whined.

Itachi placed Sakura back on the floor and smirked at his brother before he left.

"So you let my brother put his hands all over you."

"Itachi's hands were not all over me it's called a hug."

"So he's hugged you before."

"Umm…yes, very briefly. This isn't some contest you know."

Sasuke smirked backing up. "Well I guess I'm far ahead since I taste the sweet goodness if you know what I mean."

Sakura jaw dropped and her face turned beet red. She grabbed a nearby ball and brought her arm back far. She let it soar across the gym towards Sasuke with so much force but he dodged it at the last second.

Instead the ball hit Kiba right smack between the legs. "Mommy," Kiba croaked grabbing his crotch before dropping to the floor.

Sakura gasped and quickly ran over to Kiba. "I am so sorry," Sakura choked. Kiba was rolling around on the floor moaning in pain.

Gai rushed over and expected the damage. "Gaara and Sai, please take Kiba to the nurse. He's going to need some ice for that."

"Wow he didn't scream that time," Naruto said.

Gaara and Sai helped get Kiba off the floor and led him out of the gym. Gai nervously glanced at Sakura a couple of times.

"ALRIGHT, THE GAME IS OVER FOR NOW!"

Sakura followed the rest of the class to the bleachers and sat down.

"Sakura that was a pretty fast ball you threw," Naruto teased. "Were you trying to kill Kiba?"

"No I was aiming for Sasuke."

"Did he say something to you?" Shika asked his eyes closed laying on the bleachers.

"Yeah something I didn't like."

"Was it about that kiss?" Shino pressed.

"Yes," Sakura whispered playing with her shoelace.

"Well if he bothers you again you just tell me," Naruto instructed her lifting up his shirtsleeve to flex his muscle or lack of it.

"Yeah Naruto if I get in a fight, you'll be the first person I call," Sakura giggled.

"You know it."

Gai told them it was time to go change before the bell ringed. After putting her clothes back on she headed towards her next class but first she stopped by the health room.

She saw Kiba laying on one of the beds in the back. She quietly sneaked over. "How are you feeling?" Sakura whispered.

"Well I can't feel anything right now," Kiba answered pointing to the ice pack sitting on top of his pants. "But I'm good."

"I'm really sorry Kiba I was trying to hit Sasuke and I-"

"It's okay," Kiba interrupted her. "And besides now I don't have to go to any more classes," Kiba grinned.

Sakura glanced at the wall clock in the room. "I better get going if I want to make it to Biology in time. I'll see you later," Sakura assured him.

"Bye," Kiba replied. "Don't forget to take notes for me."

As Sakura opened the door to leave, Akamaru came inside and jumped onto Kiba's bed. "He had to go and take a bathroom break."

Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"He went outside okay," Kiba said hastily.


Sakura slipped into her seat just in time as Orochimaru came into the class. "Good morning class," he hissed. "We're going to be doing a lab today so partner up, boy and girl."

Sakura stared at Kiba's empty chair and looked around the room for someone else to work with. Most the boys were taken except for Sasuke. He walked over to her lab table.

"My partner's not here and neither is yours so I guess were working together."

"I guess," Sakura muttered as he took the empty seat.

Orochimaru looked around the room to make sure everyone was partnered up. Two guys who didn't have partners since there were more boys than girls had to work together.

"In this lab you and your partner are married," Orochimaru explained.

"WHAT?" The two-guy group shouted.

Orochimaru ignored them. "We will be studying human genes and DNA in this unit. I will be going around with a hat and one person in your group will pull out a piece of paper. It will tell you how many children you have and what kind of heredity traits they could receive from you."

Sakura sat silently in her seat listening to the teacher's instructions, anything to keep her from thinking about her and Sasuke being married, what a nightmare.

He finally came to them with the hat. Sakura reached inside and pulled out the last piece of paper. She opened it and scanned over the information.

"Well what does it say?"

"We have five children-"

"We sure have been busy," Sasuke said.

"And you are a carrier for colorblindness and I have Hemophilia."

"What's that?"

"A disorder that causes your blood to clot. You can bleed to death from a minor cut."

"I guess you would never be going outside."

Sakura glared at him. "We aren't really married."

"As of now we are and if you did have Hemophilia I would never let you out of my sight." Sasuke glared back.

Sakura broke Sasuke's glaze and turned red. "Let's just finish this up."

They worked together without any fighting for the rest of the block. "So 2 out of 3 of our sons would be colorblind while one of our daughters will have Hemophilia the rest of them are all carriers of it which means they could pass it on to their children," Sakura said going over their work.

The bell for lunch ringed as they were writing up the report. Sakura started cramming her stuff in her bag then she reached for the paper. Sasuke was reaching for it too and their hands touched for a second before Sakura moved hers quickly. She felt a blot of energy run through her body.

"I'll turn it in, you can go to lunch," Sasuke said.

"Wow you're doing something nice for a change."

"Hn."

Sakura lifted her book bag onto her shoulder and walked out the door. She stopped by her locker and put some of her books away. As she was heading towards the cafeteria an arm reached out of a classroom and yanked her inside. She stared into the darkness as she heard the person close the door. A low beam of lights was turned on.

"Sasori?" Sakura questioned. Sakura glanced around the empty classroom. "What are you doing?"

He glared at her from the door. "You told everyone we kissed."

"It wasn't like that-"

"Do you know how many people have come up and bothered me today?"

"If you would just let me explain-"

"This girl I don't even know came up to me and started crying and-"

"DO I EVER GET TO SAY ANYTHING!" Sakura screamed her voice echoing in the empty classroom.

Sasori crossed his arms over his chest and waited.

"Look," Sakura started. "I didn't go around bragging or anything it kind of slipped out."

"How does that just slip out?"

"Well…umm…I was kind of on crazy medication yesterday and Itachi, Tobi and Deidara skipped school and came to my house because I was sick."

"That would explain why they weren't here."

"Yes," Sakura nodded.

"Let me guess, Tobi picked the lock."

"Yes and the medicine at my house was old-"

"Fine I understand," Sasori interrupted her.

"Thank goodness," Sakura breathed. "You looked like you wanted to murder me.

Sasori stared at her blankly. "So you think I have the softest lips."

Sakura blushed. "W-who told you that?"

"Tobi."

"…"

"Sakura?"

"I c-can't bel-lieve he told you that," Sakura turned even redder staring at the floor.

"There's no need to get all nervous," Sasori said opening the door getting ready to leave. "I thought your lips were pretty soft too."

Sakura looked up but he was already heading down the hallway. She let out the breath she had been holding. She walked out of the classroom and closed the door.

"Sakura," Deidara called her name.

She turned around and saw him jogging towards her. "You want to go off-campus?" he smiled jiggling his keys in front of her face.

"Don't you have to be a senior to go off campus?" Sakura frowned.

"I know a secret way," he winked. "Do you want to go?"

"I don't know."

"I'll pay for your food."

"Okay," Sakura perked up. "Lead the way."

Sakura followed Deidara through the hall and upstairs. They finally came to a back door. He opened it slowly and peeked out. He motioned for her come on with his fingers. She followed him as they walked across the grass passing the teacher checking to make sure people were seniors.

Sakura watched as Deidara walked up to a small yellow convertible the hood up. It had black racing stripes and a peach interior. "I like your car," Sakura commented slipping into the passenger seat.

"Thanks it took me forever to save up for this thing."

Deidara hopped in and waited as a student backed up behind him.

He watched as Sakura reached into her purse and pulling out a tube of lip-gloss. She pulled the mirror down and applied it very slowly. Sakura saw Deidara out of the corner of her eye watching her put it on.

"You want to taste," Sakura smirked.

"Yeah," Deidara joked.

Deidara sat very still when he saw Sakura leaning in closer and closer. She looked him in the eyes before she gave him a chaste kiss on his lips. He could taste the strawberries of her gloss. She went in for another kiss and Deidara was ready. One of his hands cupped her face while he ran his fingers through her hair with the other. Her tongue ran across his lips and she opened her mouth.

"Deidara," she whispered.

"Deidara," Sakura said again.

"Deidara," she repeated someone shaking his shoulder.

Deidara woke out of his daze and saw Sakura frowning as she shook him.

"Are you okay?"

"What happened?" he asked rubbing his eyes.

"I was putting on my lip gloss and you totally blackout."

"Aww man, it was just a daydream," he muttered under his breath hitting the dashboard.

"What?"

"Nothing," Deidara assured her and started up the engine. He backed out of the parking lot and handed to the nearest restaurant. Five minutes later he pulled to a sushi place, Sushi Yoshi and walked inside.

When they did a lady in a uniform walked up to them. "Hello," she said with a smile, "may I help you?"

"Table for two please," Deidara responded.

"Right this way," she said leading the way. She sat Sakura and Deidara down at a small table in the middle of the restaurant. She bowed and walked away. "What would you like to drink?"

"Tea would be great," Sakura answered

"Me too," Deidara smiled.

"I will be right back with your drinks, the buffet is open," she gestured with her hands to the open bar area.

"Yes," Sakura cheered running over. She grabbed a plate and started filling it up with everything.

"Are you going to eat all of that?" Deidara asked as she added another helping of oshizushi on her plate.

"Of course," Sakura sang.

She took her full plate back to her table. The waitress had already delivered their drinks to the table. Sakura sat down and started to dig in. Deidara came to the table with his plate and sat down. He watched Sakura eat for a few seconds.

Deidara smirked. "Let me feed you."

"What?" Sakura responded with full cheeks.

"Let me feed you a sushi roll."

Sakura swallowed her food. "Umm…isn't that stuff couples do?

"I guess."

"Then no."

"Come on Sakura."

"No."

Deidara picked up a roll with his chopsticks. "Just open your mouth."

"I don't want to."

"Why do you have to make things so difficult?"

Sakura rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine."

Deidara smirked as he brought the chopsticks near her mouth. She opened up and pulled the roll of with her teeth.

"Fancy meeting you here," Tobi smiled hitting Sakura on her back.

The sushi roll went down the wrong tube and she started coughing.

"Great look what you did," Itachi scowled. He passed her the tea sitting on the table. "That's right, nice slow sips," Itachi whispered rubbing her back.

"I didn't know she was eating," Tobi whined.

"What do you think she was doing? We're in a restaurant."

"What are you doing here?" Deidara frowned throwing his chopsticks down.

"We are seniors too," Itachi smirked.

"And we were in the mood for sushi," Tobi added. "But I didn't know you were bringing Sakura.

"I sneaked her off."

"Well we are going to join you," Tobi pulled up the nearby table.

"Come on guys," Deidara moaned.

"You don't want your friends to join you, how rude Deidara," Itachi fake gasped.

Sakura sips some more of her drink. "It's okay Deidara."

Deidara sighed deeply as Itachi and Tobi went to go fix their plates. "I know, it's just…I was hoping that we cou-"

"We're back, hope we didn't miss anything."

"No," Deidara sighed, "not really."

"Hey," Itachi glared at Deidara, "were you just feeding Sakura?"

"…"

"Maybe," Deidara replied.

"You know they have some restaurants where you can eat sushi off of people's bodies," Tobi smiled looking at Sakura.

"Why are you telling me?" Sakura mumbled playing with her food.

"I think you would be perfect for the job," Tobi suggested winking at her.

"How much time do we have left?" Sakura asked ignoring Tobi.

"Umm…about 20 minutes," Deidara said looking at his watch.

Sakura picked up her plate.

"Where are you going?" Tobi asked.

"To get more food." Sakura turned around and smiled. "Deidara paid and it's a buffet."

The guys watched as Sakura walked over to the food and started piling up her plate.

"So," Itachi started. "Is this so kind of date or something?"

"I wish," Deidara muttered.

"Did anything happen while we weren't here?" Tobi asked curiously.

"Maybe something would have if you guys didn't show up," Deidara glared.

"Hey I just had a feeling to come and eat here," Itachi said watching Sakura look over the desserts.

"Yeah a feeling," Deidara said bitterly knowing his friend to well. "You followed me didn't you?"

"Guilty as charged," Itachi chuckled.

"We saw you backing out of the parking lot," Tobi explained. "And I was like 'isn't that Deidara and Sakura?" and Itachi said 'Yeah it is, let's follow them.' So then we followed you here but Itachi said to wait in the car for a little while, so then I turned on the radio and starting singing and Itachi gave me the all too famous Uchiha death glare so then he said it was just the right moment to go inside and we found you feeding Sakura."

Tobi saw Sakura walking back to the table. "-and that is how babies are born, Deidara."

"Anyway look," Sakura smiled. "They have cheesecake."

"I love cheesecake," Tobi said reaching for her plate.

Sakura smacked his hand. "Touch it and you'll found out how I can break five fingers with just one twist."

Tobi pulled his hand away slowly. "That sounded very scary."

Sakura laughed. "I was just joking." Tobi laughed too.

"But seriously," Sakura stopped laughing. "touch the cheesecake and you will be very sorry."

Sakura happily finished her lunch and nobody was hurt in the process.

Deidara stood up. "I think we need to get going if we want to make back to school on time."

Itachi and Tobi followed as well. They stacked all their dishes together and left a nice tip for the waitress.

Itachi unlocked his car door. "Sakura you want to ride back with us?"

"I should probably go back with Deidara since he took me out…but maybe next time."

"I will remember that," Tobi cheered.

They drove back to school with a few minutes to spare. Sakura hopped out the car and closed the door. She walked along the sidewalk with Deidara as they headed back.

"Thank you for taking me to lunch, it was very…sweet."

"No problem, it was my pleasure, though-"

"Though what?"

Deidara turned to face her. "A kiss on the cheek wouldn't hurt." He turned his cheek to give her better access.

Sakura gave him a look.

"What?" Deidara said innocently. "I didn't ask you to French me."

Sakura sighed and decided to kiss his cheek. She closed her eyes and leaned forward standing on her toes. Deidara at the moment was not paying attention and waved to a friend across the parking lot. When he turned his head around his lips came in contact with something soft.

Sakura opened her eyes quickly and back away.

"What are you doing?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing," Deidara smirked.

"I was going to give you a kiss on the cheek."

"I didn't actually think you were going to do it, I just turned to say hello to my friend," Deidara pointed the guy with his mouth open looking at them.

"Why would you think that?"

"Because your…you," Deidara grinned, he couldn't stop it.

Sakura glared at him but knew it wasn't his fault only her own. She turned towards the school and continued walking.

"You aren't mad are you?" Deidara asked catching up quickly.

"No," Sakura snarled.

"Okay I'll see you in sculpture," he grinned before running off.

"Oh boy," Sakura sighed heading towards her cooking class.


"So locking lips with Deidara," Naruto started when she walked in.

"Please Naruto; I'm not in the mood."

Neji used his crutches to come over to their station. Naruto stopped him. "I wouldn't if I were you, she said she wasn't in the mood, must be that time of month."

Neji nodded his head as he listened. Sakura glared at both of them. "I think I should go back," Neji said backing up with his crutches.

"Okay class, take your seats," Anko said. "Today we will be cooking lemon squares," she announced.

She passed out copies of the recipes. "Your ingredients are laid out so get started."

Sakura glanced over the recipe and looked at Naruto was already working. She really wasn't in a cooking mood. That kiss with Deidara was very confusing. She…enjoyed it. Deidara was her friend; sort of she shouldn't be enjoying kisses from him, should she?

She then started to think about all the other people she kiss and she was sad to admit she enjoyed those too, even Neji's, how disgusting.

"There is some really wrong with me," Sakura mumbled to herself.

"Yes there is, you're not working," Naruto pointed out mixing his batter together.

Sakura threw in the ingredients quickly as time was running out. She picked up the lemon juice bottle and squeezed the lemon juice in.

"Is that enough?" Sakura asked herself. "Nah."

She squeezed some more in while whipping up the rest of her batter. She scooped it into a pan and popped it in the oven.

Naruto was eating cake when she went to go clean up her station.

"Where did you get that cake from?" Sakura questioned.

"Over there," Naruto said cake flying out of his mouth. "Neji made it."

Sakura pinched off a piece and ate then spat it out.

"You don't like it?" Naruto asked.

"No, it's delicious," Sakura frowned. "How can someone like that?" Sakura pointed to Neji who was getting his feet rubbed by two girls, "make something so good."

"The way that I am this devilishly handsome," Naruto smiled sexily at her.

The timers went off and everyone started taking out their dessert for inspection.

Anko walked around tasting the squares. Neji got an A+ because his lemon squares made her mouth water but most of the class received B's.

She then came over to Sakura's station and took a deep breath. She bit into one and her mouth started to pucker up and she looked sick. She spat the rest into the trash.

"Umm…Miss Haruno, how much lemon juice did you add?" Anko asked.

"I don't know, I just squeezed it in," Sakura said boredly.

"That is why we have measuring cups," Anko wailed.

Naruto picked up one of Sakura squares and tried it. "Why is it so salty?" Naruto asked putting the rest of it back.

"Oh I think I used the wrong canister."

The teacher glared and gave Sakura her grade before moving on to Naruto.

"A D-," Sakura sighed. She folded the paper and threw it in her book bag.

Naruto smiled with glee. "Look Sakura I got an A," Naruto danced. Sakura glared at Naruto as he slowly stopped dancing. "Hey Sakura stop looking at that knife, it not my fault I'm a cooking genius.

"I know," Sakura whined.

"Then what's the matter," Naruto asked. "I can tell something's wrong. I'm not that slow."

"I'm just confused."

"About."

"Boys."

"Oh well that is something you should probably talk about with your mother."

"Not like that."

"Oh good you scared me there for a second. Well whatever it is, you'll figure it out."

Sakura smiled for the first time that block. "Thanks Naruto," she said pulling him into a hug.

The bell ringed ending the period.

"You don't have to let go."

Sakura let go of him. "I'm going to get you a girlfriend."

"Make sure she's hot," Naruto smiled.

"Naruto there's more to a relationship then just looks, you have to talk."

"…"

"Don't worry, I have someone I think really likes you a lot," Sakura smiled walking out of classroom.

"Tell me," Naruto begged.

"You already know her."

"Give me a hint."

"She's sort of shy."

"Mmmm…doesn't ring a bell."

Sakura sighed. "Naruto, sometimes I worry about you."

"That's what Gaara said yesterday."

"Speaking of Gaara, I haven't seen him much today."

"He is in the health room seeing to Kiba since he may never be able to have kids and he is totally skipping class."

"Of course Kiba is going to have children, it's not like-"

A very eager Tobi yanked Sakura into her World History class. "I'm very sorry Naruto but I need Sakura." He closed the door as the bell ringed.

"AW MAN, I'M LATE FOR CLASS!" Naruto shouted his footsteps pounding down the hallway.

Tobi led Sakura to her desk. Itachi scowled at her as she came. "You kissed Deidara."

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Not this again."

"Sasuke kissed you, Sasori and even Neji," Tobi complained.

Sakura pulled out her book and started to doodle little sharks as she listened to them go on in on.

"Are you jealous?" Sakura wondered.

"No," Itachi said angrily.

Sakura smiled prettily. "I think you are you're mad because I haven't kissed you."

"I am furious," Tobi said breathing deeply through his nostrils.

Itachi smirked. "What makes you think that I can't lean across this desk and claim a kiss myself?"

"Well if your dream has always been to lay in a pool of blood, unconscious on the floor, I highly suggest you don't," Sakura smirked back.

Sasori opened the door and came inside with a late pass. He walked over to his group and sat down.

"Were not mad at you anymore Sasori," Tobi informed Sasori.

"You aren't," Sasori said boredly looking out the window.

"No we're mad at Deidara now," Tobi told him.

"What happened?" Sasori asked looking at Sakura.

"They kissed in the parking lot after Deidara took her out to lunch," Tobi finished.

"It sounds like it was a date," Sasori said.

"It was not a date," Sakura glared at them. "I don't like Deidara, it was an accident kind of."

"How can it be kind of an accident?" Itachi questioned.

"I was about to give him a kiss on the cheek and he turned to say hello to a friend and you know the rest," Sakura tried to explain turning red.

"Why did he turn his head?"

"He didn't actually think I was going to give him a kiss."

"Well, you are…you," Itachi said.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Sakura asked.

"It just isn't something you would usually do," Itachi pressed.

"I think you guys are taking this a bit too far," Sakura said. "I was ju-"

"It was just a kiss, we know?" Tobi and Itachi said together.

"Good," Sakura smiled thinking they understood when they were really thinking of ways to kill Deidara.

"Everyone partner up and work on the questions on the board," Asuma said from his computer.

"Do you want to work together Sakura?" Sasori asked he before Tobi and Itachi could open their mouths.

"Sure."

Tobi and Itachi glared at them as they moved so they could be closer to their partners. They were five minutes into their work before Sasori stopped writing.

"You know they like you," Sasori whispered.

"Who?"

Sasori pointed his pencil to Itachi and Tobi arguing across the table.

"No they don't," Sakura said. "They're just teasing."

"They really like you," Sasori said. "That's why they got all worked up and jealous."

"They don't," Sakura glared at him.

"I can prove it," Sasori smirked.

Sakura blushed as she thought about what he had in mind. He leaned towards her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Sakura saw Tobi look up for a second and hit Itachi's shoulder for him to look too. Sasori then lowered his head near her neck, hiding in her hair and whispered in her ear to pay closer attention to Tobi and Itachi.

While it appeared to everyone else that Sasori was totally kissing her neck, he was just telling her to watch them especially Itachi. Sakura watched as Itachi's eyes turned murderous and how he keep clenching his fist. Tobi on the other hand was completely surprised and gasping with his mouth open. Sasori finally came up and pointed to his friends.

"T-that doesn't p-p-prove anything," Sakura blushed running a hand through her hair.

"What was that?" Itachi hissed.

"I was just trying to prove something to Sakura here," Sasori enlightened them.

The class was very quiet as they watched to see what would happen next. Asuma was too busy on the computer to even see what was happening.

Tobi placed a hand on Itachi's arm. "Man deep breaths," Tobi coached him.

Itachi calmed down though his veins were sticking out of his hand.

Asuma started laughing really loudly filling the silence. "I'm sorry," he said. "I just got an email from Jiraiya, Naruto broke the CPR dummy."

Eventually everyone got back to work. Itachi sat silently in his desk not making eye contact with anyone. Sakura sat quietly in her desk hoping he was okay.

"BRRRRRRIIIINNNNNNNNNGGG!"

"TURN IN YOUR PAPER IN THE BASKET!" Asuma shouted before they left.

Sakura scribbled her and Sasori's name at the top of the paper before she put it in the basket. Itachi was already out the door walling down the hallway. Sakura rushed out trying to catch up to him.

"Itachi!" Sakura shrieked picking up a paper she dropped.

Itachi stopped walking so she could catch up.

"Sasori wasn't really kissing my neck; he was just trying to prove something he said."

"Prove what?" Itachi asked crossing his arms.

Sakura blushed as she played with her shirt. "That you like me," she said very softly.

"What?"

"That you like me," Sakura said a bit louder looking anywhere but his eyes.

Itachi chuckled as he moved a piece of hair out of his eye. "What do you think?"

"I don't know," Sakura said playing with her fingers feeling like Hinata.

"Your figure out soon enough," Itachi winked at her before heading down the hallway. Sakura sighed, turned around and walked in the direction of her English class.

Sakura took her seat at her table with Sasuke, Rock Lee and Neji. "Why me?" Sakura mumbled as she put her books on the table.

"How are you doing on this fine day my sweet Sakura?" Rock Lee smiled at her.

"Fine," Sakura answered.

Gaara wasn't in class. She waved to Naruto who was across the classroom as Kurenai walked into the class with a cart.

"Okay we are starting a new unit on the Middle Ages, I will assign each of you a person and you are going to write an essay. You can come get a laptop to get started on it."

"When is it due?" Neji asked.

"In two weeks."

Everyone waited as Kurenai walked around assigning them jobs. She came to their table. "Alright Neji you are a cook, Rock Lee a peasant, Sasuke you're an actor and Sakura you're a nun."

"A nun," Neji said in horror.

"It is just a project Neji," Kurenai informed him.

Sakura got up from her seat to go get a laptop. Neji pulled her back. "Will you get me one please?"

"Okay," Sakura said prying his fingers off her arm. She came back with two laptops and sat down. She powered it up and was surfing the Internet. She researched a bit for her project. She then went to go check her email. She had a bit of junk mail and was scrolling through when she saw one from her mom. She was planning on visiting her soon to see how everything was going along.

"Great," Sakura thought.

She didn't know when since she had to fashion shows back to back and was trying to help this new and upcoming designer with his work.

Sakura started typing a response to her mother. "What you doing nun?"

Sakura smiled. "If I'm a nun, I'm not allowed to talk to you."

"I'm a famous actor; I can get whatever I want."

"You know in the Shakespeare era, women weren't allowed to act so if there were any women parts a man did them."

"So?"

"That means you would kiss a guy," Neji smirked.

Sasuke ignored them for the rest of class.

"Aww Neji you hurt his feelings," Sakura said trying to laugh.

"He's a block of ice, he'll be fine," Neji grinned. "If he's not, he can kiss Naruto and feel all better."

"NEVER!" Naruto howled from across the room.

"He's got good ears.

Sakura walked off to her sculpture class. She entered and saw Deidara grinning as she came to her seat.

"Hey Sakura."

"Could you stop smiling?"

"I'm sorry I can't help it," Deidara grinned playing with his pencil.

"You sure have been sucking a lot of face ugly" Sai smirked.

Sakura ignored him and pulled out her sketchbook and started drawing ideas for their next project.

"You aren't mad, are you?" Deidara asked.

"No," Sakura growled.

"She is totally lying," Sai said.

"I just need a break from boys," Sakura sighed rubbing her temple. "I never had these problems when I dressed like a tomboy."

"Then why don't you just be a tomboy again?" Sai suggested.

"I kind of like being a girl but not a girly-girl," Sakura replied. "It's kind of fun."

"Maybe you just need to hang out with your girlfriends," Deidara recommended.

"I…don't really have any girlfriends all of my friends are guys," Sakura said.

"Which explains why you act like one," Sai laughed. Sakura kicked him in his knee.

"Then make some," Deidara pressed. "Do all that girl stuff they do or whatever."

A smile slowly spread across Sakura's face. "You know that is not such a bad idea."

Sakura spent the rest of the block thinking about what she should do this weekend and what girlfriends she was going to find. Class breezed by fast and the day was over. Sakura was heading towards the parking lot when she saw Sasuke waving her over.

"Should I go?" she asked herself.

Sasuke then glared at her and waved more urgently.

"Yes?"

Sasuke handed her English notebook. "You left this in the class."

"Oh, thanks," Sakura said dryly.

"Hn."

"What does 'Hn' mean, is it your language or something?"

"Hn."

"Are you going to say something other than 'Hn'?"

"Hn."

Sakura sighed. "Well thanks for giving me back my notebook."

"Hn."

"If you don't have anything else to say, I'm going?" Sakura announced to him already walking away.

Sasuke grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"What do you want?" Sakura whined wanting to go home.

Sasuke looked her in the eyes between wrapping an arm around her waist and one lifting her chin.

Sakura's stomach twisted and fluttered with excitement as Sasuke's lips came closer to hers. He smashed his lips on hers, their bodies squishing together. Sakura ran her fingers through his hair grabbing and pulling. Sasuke's hands both came up to cup her face as they broke the kiss.

"You're the best thing that's happen to me Sakura?" He said reaching her eyes. "Will you be mine?"

"Sakura?" Sakura he said waiting for an answer.

"Sakura?" he repeated again, this time with more concerned.

"Sakura?" she felt someone shaking her and calling her name.

Sakura opened her eyes and saw Sasuke clutching her shoulders looking her in the eyes.

"You alright pinky?" Sasuke asked.

Sakura grabbed her head. "I'm mentally ill," Sakura whined.

Itachi saw the two and walked over. "What's going on?"

"I don't know, I was trying to ask her something and then she just started staring into space. When I finally got her to wake up she started screaming she's mentally ill."

"What happened?" Itachi asked Sakura.

"I just daydreamed I was making out with Sasuke," Sakura said in horror. "I feel sick."

Sasuke smirked as his older brother tried to calm Sakura down. "It's okay it was just a bad nightmare," Itachi said rubbing her back for the second time that day.

Sakura watched as her dad pulled up to the curb. "That's my ride maybe I need to go home and lay down."

"You do that pumpkin," Itachi said.

"I'm just going to ignore that."

Sakura hopped into the car and they drove off.

Sasuke smirked. "Sasuke 1, Itachi 0."

"This isn't over," Itachi glared.

"I accept your challenge."


Wooh! I hope the chapter was okay; it took a while for the juices to start flowing. Now since it took me a while to update I thought you guys deserved a little sneak peak of the next chapter.

Sneak Peak : )

Chapter 15: A Night With The Girls

"So Sakura, what are we doing this weekend?" Naruto asked as they walked to homeroom.

Sakura grinned. "Sorry guys but I have plans."

"Your going on a date," Kiba gasped.

"No way," Sakura frowned. "I'm having a sleepover."

"A coed sleepover," Naruto wiggled his eyebrows.

"No, Temari, Hinata and me," Sakura smiled.

"Can we come?"

"Out of the question." Sakura handed her books to Gaara. "Hold these; I have to go to the restroom."

Sakura walked off to the nearest one and opened the door.

Naruto cried. "We always do everything together."

"We could sneak in," Kiba suggested. "I could disguise myself as a pizza man."

Gaara rubbed his chin. "You know, that's not a bad idea."

"I could be the stripper that someone ordered for them," Naruto said humping the air.

"We want them to be able to see the next day," Shino joked.

"Whatever."

"You know you sure talk about strippers a lot, must be your future career," Gaara smirked.

"No," Naruto said hotly. "I'm going to be president."

Gaara, Shino, Kiba and Shikamaru laughed. "Hey, it could happen," Naruto whined following them into class.

Tobi put down the newspaper he was hiding behind and smirked. "A sleepover, interesting."

End of Sneak Peak.

P.S. Sakura will be kissing Itachi in the next chapter. I will try to update ASAP. I am now off to go eat a very well deserved piece of cheesecake. See you soon! : )
