Ni Hao everybody! Soooooooooo sorry for the long wait, I know I'm just horrible, horrible, horrible, hoooorriblle! I do not ever mean to leave you guys hanging and I hope all is forgiven. I hope everyone has been having a good summer; I will be taking advantage of these last couple weeks to work on the story nonstop until school starts back up. Anyway after probably a few more chapters we will start the countdown for, sadly, the ending of the story. I know it's very depressing. I'm still not sure if I will do a sequel, still debating on that but we shall see. Well here is the latest installment of the Tomboy to Princess. Brought to you by gummy worms which help me when I have writer's block. Enjoy!
Chapter 21: Kissing, Ladders, and Whip Cream
"I can't believe this," Itachi growled leaning in front of his locker.
"I want to go home," Tobi whined.
The two watched as Gaara and Sakura walked down the hallway hand in hand.
"Sakura's first boyfriend and it isn't me," Itachi said glumly.
"Shouldn't you guys be happy for her?" Sasori asked them as he stuffed papers in his bag.
"No," the two answered together.
"It's too depressing," Deidara added as he joined them.
"Well it's been a week so you guys better get over it," Sasori told them.
They all watched as Sakura laughed, throwing her head back. Her pink hair danced across her back and her emerald eyes sparkled in the florescent lights.
"It will be hard," Sasori mumbled to himself.
"Gaara, you're going to make me die laughing," Sakura snorted.
"I can't have that happening," Gaara smiled down at her.
Gaara was so happy, he couldn't stop smiling all week and a wonderful week it had been.
"We better get to homeroom," Sakura said looking at her watch.
The couple walked together to their class and took their seats.
Naruto shivered. "I know you guys are going out but it's just creepy."
"How is it creepy?" Gaara asked.
"Well we have been friends so long and now you're making out with Sakura and stuff," Kiba said. "It takes some getting use to."
"You guys, it doesn't change anything, we are all still best friends and Gaara just happens to be my boyfriend too," Sakura assured them. "And we haven't done any making out."
"Just don't do any kissing in front of us, we already get enough of that from Shikamaru and Ino," Naruto told them.
"She attacks me," Shika added in.
"Of course," Sakura smiled slyly at him.
Gaara looked over at Sakura, he was still in shock that she had said yes and couldn't believe that it had already been a week. Though they hanged out at her house and went to the movies, he was too nervous to work up the courage to kiss her, an actual kiss where their teeth wouldn't bang together.
He wasn't sure if Sakura wanted to kiss him but there was always a lingering moment every time they said goodbye. He was a little afraid that she would beat him to a bloody pulp if he tried.
"Gaara," he heard someone call his name. "Gaara!"
He looked up at Sakura. "The bell just ringed, come on." Gaara got up and followed his girlfriend out the door. He loved the sound of it.
Sakura walked into Geometry first and was shocked to see Kakashi already there. Gaara noticed a few girls giving Sakura the evil eye as she took out her math folder, flipping through the pages.
She smiled and turned in her seat to wave to them. "Take a picture, it will last longer," she told them.
"Well everybody we have a big test today- "Kakashi started but was interrupted by Naruto shouting loudly.
"You're here on time? It must be a miracle."
"Yes, I am here in the flesh, now as I was say-"
"Like the chances of this happening again are very slim," Naruto continued on.
"That's nice, now-"
"I need to make record of this," Naruto said pulling out a notebook.
"Naruto," Sakura growled. "Zip it."
"Thank you Sakura, now clear your desks, we are taking the test for chapters 5, 6 and 7."
Kakashi picked up a stack of papers of his desk.
"So I hope you studied."
Naruto panicked. "Studied? I didn't even do any of the homework."
Kiba patted Naruto on the shoulder. "Good luck buddy."
Sakura watched as Naruto wrote his name on his paper and stopped to look at the questions. "Well that's another zero."
Gaara sat down at the table; all the guys gave him looks.
"What?"
"You know what," Kiba said.
"Well I don't," Gaara sighed, unwrapping his sandwich. "I wouldn't be asking if I did."
"What Sakura said this morning," Naruto pressed.
"Sakura said a lot of different things this morning so you're going to have to be a little more specific," Gaara told them.
"They are talking about you not kissing Sakura yet," Shikamaru helped him out.
"Oh...that."
"Yes that, I can't believe you haven't made a move,' Kiba punched Gaara's arm.
"There just haven't been any right moments," Gaara glared at him.
"I'm sure there have been plenty," Naruto nodded.
Gaara chewed slowly. "Well maybe there were so...is it weird that I haven't kissed her?"
"No, it's not weird," Shino assured him.
"It is, don't listen to Shino, he knows nothing about relationships," Naruto snorted.
"And you do, that's funny," Gaara chuckled.
"He shouldn't rush things," Shino said.
"Shhhh, shhhh, leave this to the professionals, Shino," Naruto smiled.
"Yeah I'm going to take advice from the guy that has never had a date and the guy that took his cousin to the semi-formal dance in middle school, Gaara chuckled again.
"Hey, you know my date bailed on me," Kiba whined. "My cousin was the only choice."
"And I went with Hinata to the dance," Naruto huffed.
"Doesn't really count, you didn't ask her, Sakura did," Shikmaru pointed out.
"Well then I have a date...with destiny," Naruto singed.
"Don't try to steal my line," Neji walked up to their table and took one look at Gaara. "I hate you," he cried and ran off.
"Uh okay, that was weird," Shika muttered.
"Well anyway it's pretty obvious that Sakura wants to kiss you too," Kiba pointed out.
Gaara looked up to see Sakura standing in the lunch line. She smiled and waved at him. He shyly waved back.
"Does she really?"
"Why don't you invite her over to your house to do some homework and maybe a little smooch, smooch?" Kiba suggested.
"That could work," Gaara said.
"Just don't try to force it," Shikmaru gave him advice.
Gaara smiled. "Okay, I'll do it today."
"That's my boy," Naruto said. "Up top," Naruto put his hand in the air.
Gaara ignored it.
"Or not."
Sakura finally came and sat her tray down. "So what I miss?"
Gaara blushed and cleared his throat. "Oh nothing much," he said roughly.
It was the end of the day; Sakura was at her locker getting her homework papers and books stuffed into her book bag.
"Don't forget your jacket, it's a bit chilly," Gaara said from behind and he reached inside her locker to get it.
"Thanks," Sakura smiled as he helped her put it on.
"Okay, now or never," Gaara told himself. "So, uh Sakura, would you like to come over to my house?"
Sakura looked up at him and raised one eyebrow.
Gaara studied the floor. "We could do our homework together and I will provide snacks."
"Sounds like fun," Sakura thought about it.
Gaara looked up and grinned. "Okay, well, I got to stop by and get something, so I'll meet you at Temari's car."
"Oh Gaara, you forgot something," Sakura said.
"What?" Gaara turned around.
Soft lips pressed against his cheek and he smelled cherries in the air. "That," Sakura grinned to herself and walked away.
Gaara watched as Sakura turned the curb. "How did I get so lucky?"
"That is a mystery to me as well," Itachi said as he strolled by.
"Yeah you cheater, I was supposed to win," Tobi whined.
"It wasn't a contest," Itachi kicked Tobi in the leg.
"OOOOWW!" Tobi yelled grabbing his leg. "Man down, man downnnn!"
"I didn't kick you that hard," Itachi said.
"I can see the light," Tobi whispered reaching towards the cleaning.
Gaara and Itachi ignored him and glared at one another.
"Well unlike you two I have to be somewhere," Gaara said walking away from them.
Itachi watched Gaara walk away. "That lucky son of a gun."
"Itachi," Deidara gasped, running down the hall. "Itachi!"
"What?"
"I found out some interesting info," Deidara coughed as he inhaled some air.
"What kind of info?" Itachi asked perking up.
Deidara smiled. "The good kind."
Gaara unlocked the front door and stepped inside his house. He put Sakura's book bag down by the door.
"I told you I could carry it myself," Sakura said as she stepped inside.
"I know you did," Gaara grinned as he turned on the lights in the living room.
"It's so quiet in here," Sakura observed as she sat down on the loveseat.
"Well my dad is at work so we have the house all to ourselves," Gaara reminded her as he walked into the kitchen.
Sakura followed him. "Are you still providing the snacks you promised?"
"I never back down on my word," Gaara winked at her.
Sakura laughed. "Okay Gaara, don't do that again."
"Why not?" He winked again.
"You look so weird doing that."
"Oh, so now I'm weird looking," Gaara teased.
"Yeah you are," Sakura snickered. "You look like a high panda bear."
"Oh you've done it now," Gaara said wrapping his arms around her and tickling her sides.
"G-g-aar-aaa, st-oo-op, can't bre-aaath," she managed to get out in between laughs.
Gaara stopped and turned her around. Sakura pushed him. "Evil," she smiled walking over to the cabinets.
"So what is there to eat?" She looked around inside.
Gaara wrapped his arms around her waist. "How about I eat you?" he kissed her ear.
Sakura blushed. "Well if you do then there would be no more of me."
"Good point." Sakura felt him breathe against her cheek. He was so close. Gaara turned her around to face him. He brushed her bangs out of her face behind her ear and leaned in closer. Sakura eyes fluttered ready to close.
"So what you guys doing in here?" Temari asked as she walked in the kitchen.
Gaara flung himself all the way on the other side of the kitchen by the sink, far away from Sakura.
"Was I interrupting something?"
"No," Gaara said quickly "Not at all."
"Are you sure because it looked like you were about to k-"
"No, we were just looking for…snacks, yeah, snacks," Gaara informed her.
"Awwww my little brother getting all nervous to kiss his girlfriend," Temari teased.
Gaara glared at her. "Shut up."
Temari chuckled. "Oh I see you are back to your normal self, only Sakura has the power to make you go all mushy."
Sakura grinned. "I don't know about that."
"Oh trust me you do, in fact I could tell you about all the times-"
"If you say one more word, you will regret it," Gaara hissed.
Temari sighed. "Okay I won't say anymore. I'll leave you to lovebirds alone to get back to looking for 'snacks'."
Gaara signed. "Let's just go to my room, I'll grab us something to eat really quick," he said as he opened the refrigerator.
Sakura watched him as he pulled out some juice. "Say, do you remember seeing Naruto afterschool?"
Gaara paused for a second. "I don't think so; now that you mention it I don't remember seeing Kiba."
"Hmmm I wonder what happened to them…"
1 Hour Earlier
"Okay we don't even know where Gaara lives," Tobi pointed out.
"And school is about to get out soon," Deidara told Itachi for the fifth time.
"I know, I know," Itachi said to keep him quiet. "We'll have to get the blond one to talk."
"Deidara?" Tobi said confused.
"No, he is talking about the dobe," Sasuke said as he strolled over.
"What are you doing? Are you cutting class?" Itachi asked.
"So what if I am, aren't you doing the same?" Sasuke looked at them.
"Touché," Itachi smirked. "So are you gonna help or what?"
"Hn," Sasuke folded his arms.
"Yeah, we'll take that as a yes," Deidara said.
"Then let's get to work boys," Itachi smirked rubbing his hands together.
Tobi pushed the red button on the walkie talkie. "Okay target has been spotted, wearing an orange jumpsuit, over."
"He is always wearing a jumpsuit," Itachi said. "And this isn't a spy mission."
"Awwww come on man, I've always wanted to be a spy," Tobi whined into the walkie talkie.
"Owww, stop being so loud, your hurting my eardrums," Deidara barked at him.
"Sauske are you there?" Tobi asked.
"…"
"Sasuke, is your walkie talkie not working?" Tobi asked another question.
"…"
"Oh my gosh, we have a man down, man dowwwwwwn! He was such a good soldier, I will remember him as strong-"
"Will you shut up, I'm not doing this anymore, it's stupid," Sasuke said into the walkie talkie.
"Oh, so you like Sakura dating Gaara then?" Itachi asked him.
"…"
"That's what I thought," Itachi smirked. "Leave this to me boys."
Itachi jumped out of the bush he was hiding in and headed over to Naruto. "Hi man, what's up?"
Naruto looked behind him. "You're talking to me?"
"Of course I am," Itachi grinned. "So since school is out, you wanna hang out with me and the boys?"
"The boys?" Naruto questioned. "I didn't know you were a father Itachi."
Itachi looked at Naruto in shock. "I don't have any children."
"Then, who are the boys?" Naruto said.
"Sasuke, Deidara and Tobi," Itachi told him.
"Oh…well this is kind of awkward, sorry about that," Naruto chuckled.
"Yeah," Itachi said slowly.
"What do I say next? This guy is beyond dumb."
"Naruto," Kiba called. "You said you would be waiting for Shino and me at the gym.
"Oh right I forgot, we still going to play?
"No, Shino had to go home," Kiba said as he picked up Arkamaru. Kiba studied Itachi. "What does he want?"
"He wants to hang out," Naruto said.
"Oh please, he is up to no good," Kiba said. Kiba stepped closer to Itachi and glared at him. "I don't know what you're trying to pull but I'm not as slow as Naruto so it will take a lot to get pass me."
Itachi stared at them blankly. "There will be free dog treats and ramen."
Kiba brighten up. "Oooh really, well let's get going!"
Itachi watched as Kiba and Naruto got into the limo. "Hook, line, and sinker."
"Why are we outside of Gaara's house?" Naruto asked.
"We have come to rob him!" Tobi laughed evilly.
"So then I can absolutely steal Gaara's game system," Kiba cheered.
"No, they have just come to spy on them," Sasuke spilled.
"Sasuke," Itachi hissed.
Kiba brightened. "We're going to go spy on Sakura and Gaara? "Sweet!"
"Yeah, but he lives on the 2nd floor," Deidara commented, looking up at the house. "How are we going to see anything from down here?"
Everybody thought about it for a second, until Tobi piped up. "Hey, look! The next door neighbor's garage is open. And I see a ladder!" He sang.
Sure, enough, yards away from where the group was standing, the garage of the house next to Gaara's was open, revealing a car, a lawnmower, a variety of other garden objects, and a long, silver ladder.
"Ummm, doesn't that count as stealing?" Deidara said.
"Not if they never know about it, we are just borrowing, we will put it right back" Itachi smirked. "Here, come give me a hand."
The gang silently treaded over to the neighbor's house. They each got next to the ladder.
"Ok, on the count of 3," Itachi whispered. "1...2...3!"
On '3' boys, the boys picked up the ladder.
"Man, this thing is heavy," Naruto complained.
"Quit your whining," Kiba sighed.
They heaved it over to Gaara's house, and carefully stood it against the side, right next to his window.
"Perfect," Itachi remarked. "I'll just go up and-
"Hey, why do you get to go up?" Tobi protested, pouting.
"Yeah, it should be me!" Kiba exclaimed.
"No, it's going to be me." Tobi defended.
"No, it's going to be me!" Kiba said.
"No, me!"
"No, me!"
"NO, ME!"
"SHUT UP!" Itachi yelled. The boys instantly quieted.
"Do you want them to hear you?" Sasuke rolled his eyes, referring to Gaara and Sakura.
Tobi scoffed. "Don't worry, they can't hear us. They're probably too busy doing 'homework,' he air quoted, sniffing.
"So," Gaara started. Sakura looked up at him.
They were in Gaara's bedroom, sitting on his bed, their books and their snacks sprawled around them.
He looked into her dazzling eyes. "What you get for number 5?" He blurted.
"Dummy, he thought to himself, that wasn't even a homework question. She probably thinks I'm a lunatic."
"Well we didn't have that one but I'm pretty sure the answer is 24^2," Sakura chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Gaara asked confused.
"You're so cute when you're nervous," Sakura giggled.
"W-who says I'm nervous?"
Sakura raised one eyebrow.
"Sooo, you think I'm cute?" Gaara said.
"Stop changing the subject," Sakura's lips curved into a smile.
Gaara moved closer to Sakura. "You're the one not answering the question."
"Make me," Sakura smirked sticking out her tongue.
Gaara closed the math book shut.
"You know we have, like, a whole other set to fin-"
Gaara grabbed Sakura's hand and held it tight. "We could take a break now if you want."
"We just kind of started-"
"I know but I thought…" Gaara let go of her hand and looked off into space.
"You thought what?" Sakura wondered.
"I-i-i-f I," Gaara started to stutter, his palms getting sweaty.
"If you could what?" Sakura asked now confused.
Before she could even find out the door busted wide open and Kabuto and Temari stepped inside.
"Why is this door closed?" Kabuto glared at them suspiciously.
Sakura and Gaara moved to opposite sides of the bed. "We are just doing homework," Sakura pointed to their books.
Kabuto looked at their closed books. "Yeah that's what you tell me but I think otherwise."
Gaara frowned. "Why are you acting like you're dad?"
"When dad is not home, I am the man of the house."
Temari giggled softly.
Kabuto whipped around to give her a look. "Don't you think it's not good for Gaara to be alone with a girl in his room?"
"They're fine Kabuto, they aren't doing anything bad, besides Gaara still hasn't kissed her yet," Temari sniggered behind her hand.
"Shut up!" Gaara's face turned red.
"What dude?" Kabuto laughed loudly, leaning against Temari. "Temari look, a blushing panda bear!"
Gaara jumped up from his bed. "That's it, get out," Gaara pushed his two laughing siblings into the hallway.
Kabuto chuckled. "Be careful Sakura, panda bear is about to explode. You've turned him on."
Gaara slammed the door shut and then opened it again. "You guys better sleep with one eye open tonight!" he called down the hallway.
"For the millionth time, I'm going up the ladder first," Itachi told them.
"Over my dead body," Tobi stepped in front of the ladder.
"There is a shovel right there," Itachi pointed to his left.
"No, no, no, we can not settle this with violence, we will settle this like men," Naruto told them.
Sakura got up and tried to come down Gaara. "Deep breaths," she instructed him.
"I'm sorry, it's just…well you're my girlfriend now and nothing is going right," Gaara sighed and sat in his computer seat, spinning around.
"It's just fine-"
"It's not fine, I'm trying my best to be that knight in shining armor type, trying to be romantic and stuff and it's just not working," Gaara ran his fingers through his hair.
"Oh thank goodness," Sakura sighed deeply.
"What?"
"I've been doing that cutesy, pretty girl act; I thought that was what guys like," Sakura said. "I suck at flirting."
"No you don't," Gaara smiled.
"You're just in denial," Sakura laughed. "Look, this relationship thing is new to us so we were a bit confused but I don't want us to change who we are, you be the same old Gaara and I'll continue being plain old me.
"So you'll continue being the strong tomboy Sakura who loves to pig out, beat up people, play video games and is afraid of spiders.
"You know it," Sakura smiled. "And you'll continue being the bad boy Gaara, who enjoys torturing people, who is rough around the edges and aggressive."
"I'm aggressive?" Gaara questioned her. He got up from his chair and walked towards her.
"Awwww man, I knew I should have thrown out paper," Tobi sighed in defeated.
"Since when is rock, paper, scissors considered a manly game?" Sasuke gave Naruto a look.
"It takes a real man to know," Naruto rubbed his invisible mustache.
"Oh, well let me know when you find one," Sasuke smirked at him.
"Ooooooh," Kiba barked. "You just got burned!"
"Shut your trap," Naruto whined.
"Enough all ready," Itachi silenced them. "I'm going up."
"Yes, you're aggressive, not in a hostile forceful way but you know what you want and you're not afraid to get it," Sakura explained to him.
Gaara started at Sakura for a few seconds. "Is that what you think?"
"It's what I know, you just go in and grab-"
Gaara put a hand behind Sakura's neck and pulled her closer. His green eyes looked deep into her jade orbs before he lessened the distance between their lips. Sakura's eyes were wide as she started at Gaara's closed ones. He wrapped a hand around her waist softly.
"What do you see?" Kiba yelled up to Itachi.
Itachi started into the room speechless on top of the ladder. The quietest he had ever been in his life.
"What's going on?" Naruto asked.
"Say something," Deidara muttered.
"They're…kissing," Itachi informed them.
"WHAT? NO-" Tobi started. Sasuke punched him on the side of his head and he was out cold.
The guys looked at Tobi's limp body on the ground.
Sasuke put his fist back in his pocket. "You'll be thanking me later."
Gaara never thought kissing Sakura would be this good. Sure he had dreamed about it tons of times but it was finally a reality and he still couldn't believe it. Her warm lips against him woke up a fire inside of him.
Gaara pulled away slowly after the long kiss and smiled. "Wow."
Sakura started at him speechless, giving him a weird look.
"Is something wrong?"
"I'm not really sure?"
"Did I do something-"
"No you didn't do anything wrong, it was great, it just feels weird," Sakura started at the floor.
Gaara smiled. "Yeah I feel weird too-"
"No not like that," Sakura interrupted him. "It didn't feel right kind of weird."
Gaara's smile slowly vanished. "I don't understand."
Sakura searched for the right words to say to explain. "Don't get me wrong, you're a great kisser Gaara but it just didn't feel right to me…I don't think we should go out anymore."
"…"
"I guess I still see you as a friend," Sakura peaked up at him, planning to see him mad.
"Well what's going on up there? What are they saying?" Deidara asked.
"I'm not sure, I can't read lips well," Itachi squinted at the couple in the bedroom.
"Let me up, I'm great at reading lips," Kiba assured them, climbing up the ladder. He reached Itachi. "Scoot over a bit."
Kiba watched as they talked. "Okay I believe Sakura just said he looks so hot in that shirt today."
"He did not, makes he look a little chunky," Tobi sniffed.
"Shhhhh, okay Gaara is saying that he wants to have a crazy hot make out session in his closet."
"Gaara is such a freak," Naruto shook his head. "I taught him well."
"Okay now Sakura is saying that he is a totally better kisser then Itachi."
"What? There is no way she said that" Itachi snapped.
"How do you know?"
"Her lips did not mouth my name."
"So what are you trying to say?"
"That you need glasses and don't know how to read lips."
"So you just want us to go back to being just friends?" Gaara asked.
"Yes, it's just really difficult, I think I need time to sort though all of this but yeah I think we should just be friends again. You aren't mad are you?" Sakura asked worried.
Gaara grinned slightly. "I could never be mad at you."
"Wawa, Gaara why do you have to be so sweet?"
"I thought you were going to stop the girly stuff," Gaara said.
"I am, that was really me," Sakura said and hugged Gaara tightly.
Gaara stared down at Sakura, her head against his chest.
"Do I really want to be just friends?"
"Sakura I-"
"STOP HUGGING!" they heard somebody shout.
"Where did that come from?" Gaara looked at his window.
Tobi was squished against the glass, his lips leaving a trail of drool.
"What is he doing here?" Sakura asked confused.
"You dummy, now they know what we're doing, who told you to climb up here?"
"I wanted to see what was happening," Tobi pouted.
Sasuke punched Tobi in the jaw. "You baka."
"YAY! It's not me for once," Naruto grinned.
"You're still a baka," Sasuke pushed Naruto into the brick wall.
Naruto gasped and put up his fist. "Oooooh, you wanna go, well let's go, leeeets go!" Naruto hopped from side to side punching the air.
He stopped when he saw Sakura storming across the grass. "Oh well we're screwed."
"What are you going doing here?" Sakura glared at them.
Itachi kicked a rock. "Oh we were just in the neighborhood."
Sakura gave him a look. "When would you ever be in this neighborhood, you live on the other side of town and why on earth would you be with Naruto and Kiba, you don't even like them."
The guys were silent. "Those are all very good questions Sakura," Deidara chuckled nervously.
"Yes they are but…uh we should be asking you the questions," Tobi jumped in. "Why were you and Gaara making out?
Sakura rolled her eyes. "We were just kissing and besides we don't go out anymore."
The guys were quiet again.
"Huh?"
"We aren't dating anymore," Gaara confirmed for them.
"Your not?"
"Are you hard of hearing or something?" Sakura frowned at them.
Itachi, Tobi and Deidara starting dancing. "YAY SAKURA IS BACK ON THE MARKET!"
"Be quiet," Sakura hissed punching Itachi in the arm.
"Dang woman, don't break my arm off."
"Oh don't be such a baby," Sakura scoffed.
"I want to be your baby," Itachi winked at her.
"Please those corny lines don't work," Sakura folded her arms.
"Well then I guess I'll just have to step up my game," Itachi wrapped an arm about her waist.
"Get your hands off of her," Sasuke and Gaara said in union.
"Okay touchy, touchy," Itachi lifted his hands up. "But Sakura is a free woman now."
"Gosh making it sound like I was in jail or something."
"You were and this redhead was holding you captive."
"And now you're free!" Tobi cheered pulling out of his pants pocket a can of whip cream. He opened it up and randomly sprayed in the air.
"Tobi," he heard Sakura growl lowly. He opened his eyes looked at the big glob of whip cream sitting on Sakura's chest.
Itachi bit his bottom lip. "I would say something but not trying to get killed today."
Sakura looked down at the mess. "You guys…"
The guys watched silently waiting for her to burst.
They watched as an evil smirk spread across her face as she lifted her head up. "…are so dead!"
Sakura tackled Tobi to the ground. His mouth filled with grass and dirt. "Owww," he moaned.
Sakura quickly got off him and dodged after Itachi. Her roundhouse kicked barely missing him.
"Whooooa, wait a secon-"
Itachi was soon on the ground on his back grabbing his side.
Deidara looked paniced as Sakura took him out quickly with a simple karate chop.
Naruto and Kiba quickly jumped to the ground. "We're died."
Sakura surveyed the area. All that was left was Sasuke. "Don't even think about it pinky," Sasuke smirked.
Sakura looked at his eyes, his eyes saying that she couldn't beat him but that didn't stop her. Sakura charged him with full force her fist making contact with his jaw. Everyone watched as Sasuke fell to the ground in slow motion.
"Now we are through here, maybe you learned a lesson to never spy on me again and invade in my personal life." Sakura wiped off the whip cream off her tank top. "Gaara do you think Temari will give me a ride home?"
"Yeah I think so, let's go see," Gaara put his hand on the small of her back and guided her into the house. He looked back at the guys groaning on the ground.
"Suckers," Gaara laughed inside.
Itachi rolled over slowly onto his stomach. "I am in so much pain."
"Yeah tell me about it," Deidara rubbed his arm. "She sure packs a punch."
Naruto and Kiba got up from the ground. "Well we have known Sakura for a while so we know its best just to play dead."
"And you couldn't share that info with us?" Itachi glared at them.
"Nope, it was fun seeing you get taken down," Naruto grinned.
"Especially Sasuke," Kiba snorted.
Sasuke rose up from the ground and rubbed his jaw. It was in the process of bruising up. "Not bad pinky," Sasuke smirked to himself.
"Well looks like our work here is done, we should get going, I still haven't started on my homework," Itachi sighed.
"You do homework?" Naruto said surprised.
Itachi grinned. "Yeah I know you might think I don't cause of my good looks, boyish charm and overall sex appeal but yeah I am intelligent."
The guys watched as the limo came around. Temari started backing out of the driveway with Gaara and Sakura in the car.
Sakura waved to Naruto and Kiba and flashed the rest of them the slit throat action.
Itachi lick his lips. "She's so sexy when she threatens us."
The limo driver pulled up as Temari drove down the street. Deidara and Sasuke slipped inside. Itachi turned to Naruto and Kiba. '
"Well it was nice using you, later losers," he saluted them and closed the door.
"Byyyyyyyyyye," Naruto and Kiba waved.
"Well that was fun," Naruto said.
Akamaru barked to Kiba.
"WHAT?" Kiba screamed.
"What's wrong?"
"Akamaru just pointed out we got ditched," Kiba frowned.
Naruto looked around. "Soooooo, how are we getting home?"
"I have no clue," Kiba sighed. Guess we better start walking."
Naruto shook his hips. "These boots were made for walkin', that's just what they'll do, one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over yoouuuu," Naruto singed.
Akamaru and Kiba gave each other looks. "Run for it boy!" Kiba shouted him and Akamaru taking off.
Naruto stopped singing and started running after them. "Hey wait for me," he panted trying to catch up, they had a good head start.
"Don't leave me alone, STRANGER DANGER!" Naruto shrieked after them.
Phhhhew okay another chapter done. Hopefully I satisfied you guys, that took forever to write and so much editing. So I'm off to go look on the next chapter, a lot will be realized in this chapter, if they guys really truly do like Sakura or is it just a petty crush and Haru will be making an appearance again. There will be a bit of sadness to the chapter but everything will be good. Till next tim e, may the force be with you! ^_^
