Chapter 3: The Sudden Questions.

After a long weekend, the children all return to school except four girls who were still well let's just say, they are out of town for a while. It wasn't until lunch that four boys noticed that they weren't there.

"Dope, where's Sakura?" Sasuke asked Naruto.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her whole day," Naruto replied.

"I haven't seen Tenten either," Neji said.

"And the troublesome woman isn't here either," Shikamaru added.

"What about Hinata?" Naruto asked.

"She wasn't in English if that's what you're asking," Sasuke told him.

"So where are the girls?" Naruto asked.

In the late evening, four girls could be seen walking towards their two stories home. They had some leaves in their hair and mud on their cheeks. They waked into their home slamming the door behind them not worrying about the fact that they weren't in school today. The next day, they were very late to arrive in school. They somehow knew that coming early wasn't the best choice for them. They were trying to avoid something or should I say someone.

"Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan, Ino, Tenten!" shouted a voice and the girls cursed themselves under their breathes.

"Good morning Naruto," Sakura said.

"Hey Sakura-chan, where were you guys yesterday?" he asked.

"Um, we were…," thank goodness for the bell that signaled the start of first period. The girls had forgotten about their strange behavior in Friday and now their absent yesterday. They guessed Naruto would question them about it so they left home late to avoid him but it would appear that he is stubborn. Later at lunch, the girls refused to sit with the boys afraid that they would question them again so instead, they when on their own ways.

With Hinata

"Hey Hinata-chan, there you are!" someone shouted and Hinata knew who it was.

"N-Naruto-kun, h-hello." Hinata said trying her best to sound like her usual self.

"Why are you stuttering again, I thought you got over it?" Naruto asked.

"N-No, Um y-you s-see t-the girls d-dared m-me t-to go a d-day w-without s-stuttering," Hinata told him.

"So, did win it?" Naruto asked.

"N-No, at h-home I s-started to s-stuttering a-again," Hinata told him.

"Oh, so why weren't you in school yesterday?" Naruto asked.

"I-I wasn't f-feeling w-well," Hinata told him and then walked off before he noticed that she was lying.

With Ino

"Troublesome woman, why aren't you eating?" Shikamaru asked.

"Quit calling me that," Ino said as she lay down in the grass.

"You didn't answer my question," Shikamaru told her.

"Oh, I'm not hungry," Ino told him.

"Troublesome," Shikamaru said.

"What do you want?" Ino asked.

"Answers," Shikmaru replied.

"About what?" Ino asked.

"Friday and yesterday," Shikamaru told her.

"Friday I just wasn't in the mood to take you on and yesterday I wasn't feeling well." Ino told him hoping that he failed to notice that her voice became softer and softer with ever word.

"You're lying," Shikmaru told her.

"I'm not!" Ino shouted as she stormed away.

With Tenten

"Why weren't you here yesterday?" a voice asked.

"Neji, you scared me," Tenten said forcing a grin.

"Answer my question," Neji said.

"I was ill and I didn't want anyone to catch it so I stayed home,' Tenten said her forced smile becoming more and more noticeable by the minute.

"And Friday?" Neji asked.

"I just wasn't feeling competitive." Tenten said knowing that she just lied to Neji made it harder for her to talk to him.

"Are you sure you're not lying to me Tenten?" Neji asked.

"Yes I'm sure, I'm not lying," Tenten said failing to notice that her voice shook when she said that.

With Sakura

Sakura was reading her book once again falling deeply in love with the story. It was forbidden love to her. She always enjoyed reading books with that style of writing and choice of themes. The love between a vampire and a human something that would never happen to her. She closed her book not failing to notice that a young raven haired boy was watching her.

"What are you reading?" he asked.

"Twilight," she replied.

"Why don't you just go and see the movie?" Sasuke asked her.

"Because reading it is more fun,' Sakura replied, "Listen, I'm sorry about Friday, I really wasn't myself. I was having a bad day and I was taking it out on you and Naruto."

"The dope will get over it but me I still have a few questions," Sasuke told her.

"What did Naruto sent you?" Sakura said remembering that Naruto was questioning her this morning.

"Hn," he replied.

"I'll take that as a no so you came here by yourself on your own free will what a surprise," Sakura said, "Turning over a new leaf Sasuke,'

"Sasuke-kun," he corrected her.

"Hn," she said mocking him.

"Where were you yesterday?" he asked.

"S-Sleeping," Sakura said knowing that she was the worst liar when it came to talking to him.

"Tell me the truth," Sasuke told her.

"I can't, I'll put you in danger," she said whispering the last part.

"Sakura," Sasuke said.

"I have to go," Sakura said getting up leaving Sasuke standing there for the first time, she was the one walking away and he was left standing there.
