HIGH SCHOOL BAD BOYS

CHAPTER 9

RECAP:

"…and made me feel needed…useful." she looked back at her father. "So…don't ever ask me to not see them…" she whispered. "I love them."

Her father's face was frozen. Sakura looked away and put her dish in the sink. "I'm sorry father. But I can't do what your asking me." With that she walked out, leaving her father in the kitchen.

Sakura let the tears flow once she was in her room. She looked at the picture in front of her. Her index finger ran across the person in the picture. The woman had long curly pink hair and mystic emerald eyes. From the picture, her eyes danced and Sakura remembered when she had seen those same eyes for herself. It was the look of love.

"Mom…I need you here more than ever. Dad…he just won't understand!" she sobbed quietly, hugging the picture closer to her.

She couldn't believe she told her father how she felt about them when she hadn't even realized it herself first. She loved Sasuke and Naruto.

To her amazement, it felt good to think about it. Her tears had silenced for a while. This was no time for crying, she knew that. She walked over to her bed and buried her face.

"Mom…what would you say?" she whispered. She noticed the keyboard in her room. Slowly she got up and walked over. She let her hands move freely over the piano. Playing a song from memory. Slowly she began to sing along.

"I don't want you two here, got that?"

Naruto angrily kicked the parked vehicle in front of him. He quickly regretted that movement as he jumped back and held his foot in agony.

"Aww…damn! Fuck! Shit!" he cussed over and over again. Finally he sat down and rubbed his foot. He bite his bottom lip in frustration.

Sasuke rolled his eyes at Naruto. "Keep yourself together." said Sasuke as he worked on the car. "You'll break the car even more…"

Naruto crossed his arms, "How could he say that?" he asked.

Sasuke looked up at him. "You know, ask us to stay away from Sakura." he whispered.

Sasuke furrowed his brow, "You know why." he answered, "Because we 'don't' follow the rules."

Naruto sighed, "That's stupid, I knew that would happen. No one ever treats us right…" he whispered. "They don't know what's it like to be us." he whispered.

Naruto looked up at Sasuke, "Remember when Ino's parents found she was hanging with us?" he asked.

Sasuke rolled his eyes again. How could he forget? "Yeah."

"A restraining order…then they took us to court for violating it! That was messed up! We didn't even have a lawyer or anything!" Naruto huffed, "Damn Ino never told us about that restraining order…all she did this for was for you…"

"I didn't want her. She just followed." answered Sasuke.

"I don't even want to remember all of the others!" groaned Naruto.

Sasuke sighed, "Since when have we listened to anyone?" he asked.

Naruto shrugged, "Dunno. We don't."

Naruto smirked. "Right." he whispered. Sasuke then smirked as well.

"Sasuke?"

"Hn?"

"Why…I mean. Well, why do we care this much about a girl?" he asked. "If it was anyone else…we wouldn't have bothered to try so hard, worry so much…" he furrowed his brow, "When I'm around her, I get this overwhelming need to protect her."

Sasuke stopped what he was doing then continued. "I don't know." he whispered honestly. "I feel the same way." he answered. "The need to be with her too." he thought.

"She's become more than just a friend." whispered Naruto.

After that comment. The rest of the time was spend in silence.

Next day…

"I'm still sorry." whispered Sakura.

Sasuke shrugged. Naruto smiled, "No problem Sakura. Really." he told her.

Sakura smiled, "That's good. I told my dad not to ask such a thing anyway, that I wasn't going to listen if he made me do this."

Naruto frowned, "Why? You would go against your parents?" he asked.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at that.

Sakura nodded, "Uh-huh. I…" Sakura blushed and looked down. "I care about you guys. You're the greatest friends a girl can have." she smiled.

Sasuke and Naruto blushed but shook it off as they reached the front doors. Sakura nearly froze, but hide her fear well. At the front doors stood her two 'rivals.' Hinata and Ino. They had big smiles plastered on their faces as they passed out flyers to every one who was entering. They were wearing a blue and white cheering leading uniform. Ino's hair had a blue ribbon in it while Hinata had two blue ribbons on the side of her head.

Naruto snorted, "Guess they let them back on the squad." muttered Naruto towards Sasuke.

Sasuke shook his head slowly, "I bet the cheerleaders were practically begging them to return." he mumbled back.

Naruto laughed. "Damn right. I wouldn't doubt it."

Sakura feebly hesitated than rejoined them. "I didn't know Ino and Hinata were in cheerleading." she informed them.

Sasuke grunted, "Yeah. They were until they thought that we wouldn't fall for the 'cheerleading type.' So they quit the squad. The squad were begging them not to go, but they did."

Naruto sighed, "They just didn't understand that we don't fall for the bimbo type." Naruto chuckled, "All the cheerleaders were mad at us for a week."

"A week?" asked Sakura.

Naruto nodded. "Yep, you see. That week was Homecoming week. The biggest most hectic week ever for a cheerleader and their squad, and 'we' took away their captain and co-captain." He shrugged.

"It's homecoming week again." muttered Sasuke with a sigh.

They reached the door and Ino's smile faltered by she caught herself before it fell. Hinata's eyes were closed as she smiled. They seemed to feel awkward, Sakura felt the same.

"Here you go!" smiled Ino, her voice full of enthusiasm.

"Remember this week is spirit week!" Added Hinata with just as much enthusiasm.

Sakura took a flyer and smiled back weakly. "Thanks." she mumbled.

She looked at the colorful piece of paper. It read in neat writing:

HOMECOMING

Monday-Crazy sock day

Tuesday-Color Day

Wednesday-Hawaiian Day

Thursday-mismatch day

Friday- Homecoming Day! SPIRIT DAY!

Remember this Fridays the pep rally in the gym! Classes will be shortened for this occasion, you are not allowed to leave school grounds!

Remember that Saturday is Homecoming Dance! Make sure to buy your tickets and ask that special someone a.s.a.p.! Go Konoha Ninjas!

"What do you do at the pep rallies?" asked Sakura.

Sasuke shrugged. She looked over towards Naruto who did the same.

"We always ditch." muttered Naruto.

"Really? Why?" she asked. "Sounds like fun."

"We don't really like football. Being in a gym full with students 9-12th graders for an hour and a half doesn't sound 'fun' either." added Naruto.

Sakura nodded. "I see." she answered. "So, I'm guessing you've never been to the dance either, huh?"

Sasuke smirked, "Well, we have. But we found it boring, with Ino and Hinata clinging to our sides so we ditched them."

Sakura laughed lightly, lighting up the mood for them.

"Didn't you have Homecoming at your old school?" asked Naruto.

Sakura shook her head, "No, we had dances periodically, but never something like this." she smiled, "We didn't have any sports team and if we did it was mostly a club thing."

"So I guess this school is better huh?" asked Naruto with a sly smirk.

Sakura smiled again, "Only for two reasons."

Sasuke looked at her, "Oh, what are they?" he asked with a smirk of his own.

"You two." she answered with a blush and another smile. With that said she waved good bye to them and headed for her home room.

Sasuke and Naruto just stood their. The bell sounded and they snapped from their daze. Both had the same question in their mind.

"Which one does she care for more?"

"What are you doing Sasuke?" asked Naruto, "You never buy lunch."

Sasuke shrugged, "It's not for me." he answered.

Naruto furrowed his brow than glared at him, "Sakura?" he asked.

Sasuke gave a curt nod and paid the lunch lady. Naruto, close on his heels stalked behind him, "You can't do that!" he gritted.

Sasuke gave a look to Naruto, "Oh? Why not?" he asked.

Naruto searched his minds for excuses but found none, "You just can't!" he told him.

Sasuke smirked, "Your just mad cuz you didn't do this before me." he told him.

Naruto glared at him, "Shut up!" Naruto took his seat, "She won't get buttered up that easily." he told him.

Sasuke this time glared as he sat down. "I'm not." he answered with disgust, "I'm not a lowly urchin like Ino."

Naruto rolled his eyes, "Yeah…" he muttered. "What ever Uchiha."

Sasuke chuckled lightly, "Sorry Uzumaki, I win this battle."

Sakura walked in and smiled brightly to the two guys she had grown use to. She wondered over and took her place at the table. Sasuke pushed the tray over and she looked at the food.

"What's this?" she asked.

"Lunch. On me." he told her.

Sakura smiled with a tiny blush, "Thank you."

Naruto mentally rolled his eyes, "It's not over yet Uchiha…" he thought as he stared hard at Sasuke.

Sakura once again thanked Sasuke before beginning to eat her lunch. Naruto smiled and turned to Sakura.

"Hey, Sakura." he started.

Sakura looked up at him, "Hmm?" she asked as she drank some milk.

"Are we still on for tutoring?" he asked.

Sakura nodded, "Uh huh, but…" she looked down at her food.

Sasuke shot him a sly smile, Naruto ignored it and asked, "But?"

"Uh, can we do it at your house?" she asked.

Naruto blinked a couple of times than smirked, "Yeah, no problem." he answered.

Sakura smiled in relief, "Ok." she whispered.

The cafeteria was quiet and under control, like normal. Sasuke and Naruto had stopped glaring at each other and Sakura had been able to avoid Ino and Hinata all day. With a smile she pushed her tray away. The front doors of the cafeteria burst open and everyone looked in that direction. The cheerleaders came in. Walking as if they owned the place and staring everyone down with their 'attitude' look.

Standing in a circle, Ino stood in the middle. The circle was big and students and tables were pushed a side. There was only ten girls, their uniforms stood out compared to the rest of the students. All the students began to sit on the tables to get a better look at what the cheerleaders were planning on doing. Sakura also sat on the table, Sasuke and Naruto stood up and watched.

"This again…" whispered Naruto.

"Hn." answered Sasuke.

Sakura glanced at them, "You've seen this?" she asked.

"Unfortunately." answered Naruto, "But they do it every year for Homecoming."

Sakura nodded and looked back at them. Ino raised her hands in the air all professional like and the whispers and chatting stopped almost immediately. Sakura could have sworn Ino glared at her for the briefest of moments. She nodded at her squad and then yelled.

"Let's go! Roll Call!" she punched the air and did a back hand spring to join the circle. The cheerleaders than began their chant:

Boom Chitty Bang Bang Let TenTen do her thang'

The cheerleaders stared at a girl with brown hair, pulled up in two Chinese buns. They had blue ribbons cascading down from the buns and she smiled, her hands placed on her hips as they directed the cheer to her.

I can't

She smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

Why not?

I can't

Why not?

Cuz my back aches, my skirts too tight, my hips shake from left to right.

The girl TenTen put her hands on her back than her hips and gyrated her hips to the left and than to the right.

To the left, to the right, to the left and to the right!

The rest of the cheerleaders joined in the gyrating. They moved their hips simultaneously in the one direction than the next. Earning many hoots and cat calls from the guys. Sakura blinked, everyone seemed to love this bit and it didn't seem that it ever got old around them.

They went around the circle of the squad. Getting to Hinata than to Ino, who proudly strutted their stuff. Once they had gone around the circle they went into a cheer. But not like the one before. They got into formation, Ino and Hinata in front of course. Hinata on the left and Ino on the right.

When I say Konoha you say Ninja!

Konoha

Ninja!

Konoha

Ninja!

When I say blue you say white!

Blue!

White!

Blue!

White!

When I say number you say 1!

Number!

1!

Number!

1!

The crowd reacted with such praise to the group, they proudly shouted and chanted along. Soon the girls were yelling and hooting along with them. Yelling "Go Konoha Ninjas!" as well as the whole student body. They girls did some kicks, toe-touches, cartwheels into the splits and than for the grand finale, they did an elevator.

Ino, who was on the right, had two girls in front of her and one behind. Same with Hinata who was on the left. At the same time, Both Hinata and Ino jumped up into the hands of the girls in front of them and they lifted them in the air. The two cheerleaders in the air smiled a bit smug. Their arms in a high V.

"GO KONOHA NINJAS!" they yelled simultaneously.

At the count of three they cradled them. Bringing them up and dropped them down, catching them before they hit the ground. Sakura gasped lightly, it sent a shock of panic through her. One wrong move and they could have collated with the floor. Though they were bad and probably dissevered it, Sakura refused to curse them in a way that would only degrade herself to their standards.

She turned to Sasuke and Naruto who were talking to them selves and ignoring the crowds vicious and loud ways. They smirked at her and she in turn smiled.

"That was interesting." she told them. She stood up and Sasuke helped her down. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her with ease than setting her on the ground. Sakura blushed wildly. Naruto snorted but was unheard still by the amused crowd.

"Let's go before they all decided to leave at the same time." yelled Naruto over the crowd. They both nodded and walked out quickly.

"Did you see that?" asked Hinata.

Ino shrugged, "Yes. I did." she whispered back.

"They almost race to get her attention, you don't think…" Hinata trailed off.

"No!" snapped Ino, "I'm almost sure it's just a phase…just…a stupid thing! They'll come back! She's just a nobody, remember that!" Ino put a fake smile on as a guy passed by. It quickly melted as he left, "We just can't speed up the process…" she gritted remembering their threat.

Hinata folded her arms, "Hope so." she thought, "But what if their in love with her?" she asked, almost sneering it in disgust.

Ino spun on her heel, "That's NOT happening!" she whispered. She smiled, "Besides, we can't interfere. But I know someone who can…"

Hinata quickened her pace, "Wait!" she sighed angrily following.

Ino and Hinata managed to escape the mini rally they started in the cafeteria. Entering the empty hallways She searched the area. "Shikamaru? Shikamaru?" yelled Ino as she looked around the halls.

"What do you need him for?" asked Hinata looking around.

"You'll see. SHIKAMARU!!" she yelled louder.

"Wha?" she heard a lazy groan.

She noticed he was leaning against the lockers, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Ino flared her arms out wildly scattering the smoke. Angrily she grabbed the cigarette out of his mouth and smashed it under her foot. He glared at her.

"What the hell was that for?" he asked, lazily getting up.

"I need to ask you to do something!" she folded her arms.

"Why should I do this 'thing' for you?" he asked, a smug smirk gracing his face.

Ino furrowed her brow, "Lazy bastard…" she muttered, "To get Sasuke and Naruto to their senses!"

Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, "Go on." he told her.

She smiled, "Okay, well we all know they can't stand to be good for so long and they never back down from a challenge. So…"

Hinata smiled as she heard her plan, "Those guys are still suspended." added Hinata.

Ino rolled her eyes, "I know that, but today makes it week four and tomorrow they return to school…but why not have them pay them a visit after school?" she asked.

Shikamaru, "Fine, sounds good." he pushed off the lockers, "Thanks for the plan." he bend down and kissed her full on the lips. Ino's eyes widened in response. With another smirk he walked away. Ino finally realized he kissed her and she ran the back of her hand across her mouth. A deep crimson blush crept on to her cheeks, she had been saving that kiss for Sasuke!

"SHIKAMARU!" she yelled.
