I Need To Scratch My Head; Chapter 5

By: DRag0ness

Ok, i hope you survived your fall down the cliff because it took me so long to update. Sorry if it isnt as long but please baer with me!

Sakura blushed at the thought of having another person's face so close to hers. AND TOUCHING LIPS!!!! Gaara didn't even seem to care. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Kin stare at her warily, which is not a good sign. Especially if you get a sign like that from Kin Tsuchi. She immediately leaned back to break her first kiss. She breathed in, she breathed out, she knew that it was stupid to believe in cooties but hey, you never know.

"What are we suppose to do?" Gaara asked, not the least bit shy. He looked as if he didn't really didn't care, or maybe he was acting?(wink wink nudge nudge).

"Uh..." was all she managed to say before Kin interupted her.

"We have to use watercolors to paint a picture of a flower," she said in a goody-good voice.

"Was I talking to you?" he said without any emotion in his voice.

"What are we suppose to do?" he asked again in a more demanding tone of voice.

"We have to use our watercolors that we are suppose to have to paint a type of flower," she breathed.

"Thank you."

Kin huffly turned around and started to drown her paintbrushes on the water angrily.

Sakura started on her work, she tried to think of something she could paint but she couldn't think of good flower because the tought of what Kin maybe planning haunted her mind. But when she look outside, she got an idea. She started on her work as she swirled her paintbrush around in the light colored paint.

When she looked at her finished work, it looked great. She raised her hand timidly for the teacher to come see her masterpiece. Kurenai spotted her as she was trying to stop Kin from killing more paintbrushes.

She finally decided not to let Kin do any work and took away all her paintbrushes. She walked over to Sakura and examined her work for a good long time. It was a very good piece of art. She couldn't find any problems at first, but then she looked more closely and found what she was looking for. In her world, no one good be as good in art as her.

"Sakura, I have found a flaw in your work," she said softly.

"There is?" Sakura studied her work more closely but couldn't find anything.

"Yes, this picture of the cherry blossom flower is very nice but I asked for a flower, your flower is perfect in every way, but do you find one that looks like this one every day?"

"No," Sakura said amazed.

"I 'll let you pass for now because you are new and don't know my rules, but next time please be more careful,"

"Thank you," she amazed that a teacher could be so, weird.

She felt down because she hadn't been able to impress the teacher. She sat there for a long time thinking, but something caught her attention the side of her eye. She looked over and saw Gaara's painting.

It took her breath away to see such a beautiful painting. It wasn't perfect flower nor was it a dead flower. It was here favourite flower, the one that she was named after, the cherry blossom like hers.

Kurenai came over again to see that Gaara was finally done his painting.

She frowned because there was a perfect student, and that she wasn't the only one.

"Very good," she pressed her lips together to make a thin line.

"You can do what ever alse you need to do now." After hearing that, Gaara got up grabbed the hall pass.

"Where do you think you are going?" asked the teacher, this was her first year with Gaara so she didn't know any of his strange habits.

"You said I can do whatever I need to do, so I'm going to the washroom," he answered without any hesitation.

"I mean in the classoom, such as working on homework or reading a book."

"Well then, can I go to the washroom then?" he said impatiently.

"May I, yes you may," she said. She was bit frustrated, this was one of the first times anyone had disrespected her like that.

Sakura didn't know what to do, then she remembered she had some reading to do so she opened to the first page of a book and started reading. It was one of the worst books she had ever read. There were a million main characters and by the time the story was done, there were a whole new set of main characters and the others were all gone, mostly dead. She put down the book disgusted and look around the classroom.

By the time she had put the book down, Gaara had already come back from the washroom. She looked at his face to study him. He had very handsome features unlike all the boys at her old school (A/N: if you dont get it, i mean that her old school was full of ugly people...I did this randomly). He had the 'build.' Complete with muscles, a six-pack that you could see through his shirt, and good height for every girl.

Sakura turned head to study the other people. She noticed that Kin stared hungrily at Gaara all the time. She probably liked him or something. She sighed, she was bored and the period wouldn't end till another 15 minutes.

She studied Gaara's face harder, he had strange black circles around his eyes, and his eyes were a very faint emerald green. His hair was very healthy and nice, but it was a bit messy in a good way.

Gaara then caught her staring at him. She turned away blushing madly.

"Why were you staring at me?" the question she dreaded.

"Sorry, my eyes were wandering," she replied trying to sound braver.

"Why are you saying sorry?" he asked

"Um...cuz I did something that you didn't like.."

"I never said i didn't like it,"

Before Sakura could answer the bell for the next class rang so she quickly gathered up her books and left the classroom quickly to avoid anymore strange questions from Gaara.

---

While she was walking down the hall, she wondered if anyone else had seen her Gaara kiss. She would feel so embarassed if anyone else had found out. She checked her schedule hastily for her next class. She sighed, she made a detour and searched for right classroom.

---

She walked into the classroom, and looked for a seat, she found one in the very back to hide. She saw a a person with long hair the front writing their name on the board. When he turned around she saw something that scarred her for life.

Whoo! Finally up! Review!
