Co chan continues to skip around singing random theme songs
Ino: I'll do the disclaimer then (Sasuke walks past) ...Sasuke kun!!! (runs after him)
Sakura runs on: Back off Ino-pig, he's mine!!! (runs after Ino)
Gaara: Oh for the love of god, Co chan does not...
Temari: GAARA!!!!
Gaara: GAH!!! (disappears in a cloud of sand)
Hinata walks on: Co chan does not own Naruto and should give up on Gaara
Hinata bows and walks off
Co chan comes back: What just happened?
The next class they had was gym. Gaara mentally groaned. He hated gym. It's not that he wasn't good at it, it's just it required so much effort.
Naruto was bouncing around saying something about shorts.
Gaara stopped dead, realization dawning on him….sports uniform.
'Shit,' he thought to himself.
(A/N The school doesn't have an everyday uniform but does have a sports uniform)
The boys proceeded into the locker room to get changed and then continued on to the gymnasium.
As they entered Sasuke turned to Gaara, "just warning you that our gym teacher is a wacko."
Gaara raised an eyebrow, "who isn't at this school?"
"Don't say I didn't warn you," Sasuke mumbled.
Gaara was looking around the gym when he spotted a group of girls come out of the change room. Amongst them were Sakura and Hinata. Gaara's eyes widened as he registered the uniform. Gone were the baggy cargo pants and the over-sized hoodie. In their place was a pair of black shorts and a tightish fitting grey T. If he thought she looked good before, this was a temperature raising new degree of hot.
Hinata came out of the change rooms feeling quite excited. Today they'd be playing volleyball and it was by far her favourite sport. She looked towards the court and out of the corner of her eye saw Sasuke, Naruto and Gaara walking towards the group.
She inwardly gaped as she realized that Gaara wasn't wearing his normal attire. Instead he was wearing black ¾ shorts and a quite form hugging grey shirt. Due to this uniform she discovered that he actually had quite a good body, drool worthy really. (A/N I love Gaara!!!)
Sakura on the other hand was casting 'inconspicuous' glances at Sasuke whilst he just looked her up and down openly.
A loud shout jolted everyone out of their thoughts, "Gather, gather my youthful students and let the fire that is your youth emanate through you all!"
Standing next to some volleyball courts was a tall man with a black, bowl hair cut and was wearing a green jump suit. (A/N I'm sorry, I couldn't do the spandex in current times. It should be illegal!!... Rages on about how men in spandex DO NOT look hot… We're men, manly men. We're men in tights, TIGHT tights:P ) Standing next to him was a boy in his late teens with the exact same haircut and outfit.
"Welcome to our kingdom of spring-time heath and youth Rock Lee," he said gesturing to the boy.
"He is a student teacher and will be with us for a few weeks."
His eyes scanned over the students until Gaara sensed that they had stopped on him.
"Ah a new student. I am Maito Gai, head of the Phys. Ed. Department," at this he did a 'nice guy' pose and grinned so his teeth sparkled.
"Ah my eyes, it burns!!" one of the boys yelled, shielding his face from the white.
Gaara turned to look at his new friends reactions. Sasuke just had his eyes closed whilst Naruto was watching Gai-sensei with starry eyes that practically reflected a green jump suit in each pupil.
'Oh don't tell me he likes the outfit,' he thought, getting very tempted to slap some sense into the blonde.
Gai nodded to Lee who walked up to the group.
"Today, we will all be partaking in the exuberant sport of volleyball but first we will begin with a quick warmup," he announced.
Half the period later….
Gaara was cursing the very existence of this so called Rock Lee with every fibre of his being. Not only was the warm up like a boot camp, then the stupid git came up with a 'wonderful' idea… or so he claimed. His idea was for the volleyball 'warmup' drills… that's right, volleyball playing had not yet even commenced, was that the class split up into boy-girl partners. Groans and squeals were the general response.
Personally, Gaara was having other thoughts.
'I'm going to kill him. Crush him while he writhes and screams against the immense pressure. Crush his limbs so they become useless…'
Vivid images appeared as he thought of the scene. It was almost as if he had done it before… a maniacal look crept across his face.
He was snapped out of his thought process by a feeling that he was being observed. He looked up to find a boy looking at him, smirking.
"Enjoying yourself newbie? What ya' thinkin' to get that look across your face?" the
boy enquired.
He was about Gaara's height with cropped silver hair and was built a little bigger. The boy was about to say something when his attention turned to the space beside Gaara. Hinata now occupied that space.
She looked up at him and asked in a quiet yet determined voice, "partner?"
As he nodded he heard a low growling from the silver haired kid and looked to find he was being glared at. Gaara smirked and followed Hinata to a space on the floor.
(A/N Just so you guys know, most of the guys are tall in this fic, okay? Gives me more to work with and larger entertainment value :P)
Sakura was glowering due to the suggestion from the assistant teach, one of the only girls annoyed at the prospect of pairing up with a boy. She was sure Naruto would come and bug her so she started to sneak off. As she turned around she bumped nose to chest into one of the boys.
"Ouch," she rubbed her nose and looked up.
In front of her was a boy with ice-white hair with pale blue tips. From close up she found he had deep purple eyes. She finally recognized him as Drey, a recent exchange student to the school. He grinned cockily as though he expected something. Instead she went to step around him but was stopped when he grabbed her arm. She went to voice her complaint when she felt her arm released and turned around to find Sasuke with his hand bearing down Drey's wrist.
Sasuke was standing by himself watching Gaara have a glare off with one of the exchange students, only to be dragged by Hinata of all people. Sasuke smirked. He looked around and found the pink head that he was looking for though he didn't like what he saw. Drey was walking up behind her. Sasuke started to walk over to her himself. He saw her walk into Drey and upped his speed. He was at her side when Drey grabbed her arm and quickly intervenced grabbing his wrist.
"Problem Sakura?" he queried, looking down at her.
She shook her head slowly.
"Come on," he said gesturing with his head to follow.
She followed slowly then regained her wit, "you making it a habit of not letting anyone touch me or something?"
He stopped until she caught up him and turned to face her, "what, did you want him to?"
"NO!" she practically yelped.
At that he continued on to an empty space.
"My knight in shiting armour strikes again," she muttered.
Stopping directly in front, looking down to face her he questioned "why do you call me that?"
She poked a finger into his nose and explained, "well you're not exactly a white knight and you shit me off, hence the name," emphasizing by poking his nose every so often.
He shook his head, snorted and moved away.
The volleyball drills consisted of the three hit routine between the pairs (dig,set, spike) and it did not take long for Sasuke and Gaara to reaslise that their partners were slightly better than average. When it was finally time for the class game the boys were sufficiently battered and bruised. The partners were split evenly into mixed teams and proceeded onto the court.
Hinata was up to serve first. Gaara was a reserve for his team so he contentedly watched. Before he, or anyone else for that matter, knew what was happening she made scored 4 points.
Gaara just gaped. Eventually Gai-sensei gave the ball to the other team because they were so pitiful. The silver haired boy was serving next but Gaara was too pre-occupied to notice.
'I wonder how many people knew Hinata could play,' he thought to himself.
"Look out!!"
He was so deep in thought that he didn't register the warning and all of a sudden everything went black.
Hinata's a volleyball champ? And what's happened to Gaara? What's going to happen with the two new trouble makers?
Follow the secret life of Konoha by tuning in next time to 'Stepping Forward.'
Sorry had an anime ep. Preview moment there :P
A/N Ok, I'm kinda making this story into a HxG & SxS fic. Sorry to you Naruto fans but Naruto is mainly the comedy relief.
Co chan: PLEASE REVIEW!!!! I'm getting desperate ...(starts wailing and runs off screen)
Gaara: If you don't stop her crying I will...
