(Author Notes)
Recap:
"Well they tell me this criminal is called 'The Shadow'(I know I know. Cliché right?)." He answered.
"Well is it a boy or girl?" Now it was Tenten's turn to speak. Guy thought for a minute before responding.
"Well we're really not sure. Nobody actually knows, and everybody who has ever met 'The Shadow' is either dead, or in an asylum."
"Why were they in an asylum?" Deidara asked(yes, he's in this class too. And so is Sasori, Kisame, Tobi, and 1 more member! Guess who!).
"Well they say that 'The Shadow' tortured them to the brink of insanity." Guy replied. The room was tense, and even Guy stopped his rambling on about youth thing to be serious for a moment.
"Well… Why do they him, or her, 'The Shadow'?." Gai turned to face the solemn face of a certain blonde-haired ramen lover. The green clad teacher opened his mouth to reply, but someone beat him to it.
"Because that's all they've seen of him. A shadow…"
Present:
Everyone turned to face the pink-haired student. Her normally expressive eyes were currently shrouded by shadows. Naruto blinked. "How do you know that Sakura-chan?", Sakura looked at him, her eyes their normal emerald green, "Oh, I just heard some people talking about it. No biggie." Everyone seemed to accept this answer. So they turned their heads to the green-clad sensei.
Gai, seeing that his students were paying attention to him again, grinned. "Well, enough of this terribly unyouthful talk! Let us train so that our flames of youth shall burn brighter!" Lee happily joined his sensei in crying tears of joy, while watching a flaming sunset. Everyone sweatdropped at this strange, yet incredibly typical, display.
Sakura sighed in relief. 'That was too close…' Inner Sakura growled at her. 'You're telling me! Fuck! They were suspicious for a moment, weren't they?' Sakura shook her head at her inner as she headed to her new friends. 'Well they aren't anymore. They've probably forgotten about it by now.' Sakura smiled as Ino waved at her. "Hey Sweetie! We're gonna play volleyball!" Sakura grinned, and ran over to them. 'But how long will it take for them to remember, and for their suspicion to grow?'
Sakura didn't answer her inner, but she had a feeling that she already knew the answer. "So, who's playing who Ino-chan?" Ino gave a little smirk. "Well, it's girlfriends versus boyfriends. I don't know about Shikamaru though. That lazy bastard is so…" Ino had a little trouble finding a word. "Lazy, right?" The two girls shared a giggle. "Hey Ino! Shika's gonna be playing with us!"
The two girls turned to face Temari. Ino looked confused. "How'd you get that lazy bastard to do that?" Temari winked at the beach blonde. "I have my ways." They shared a knowing smile. Sakura looked at the two utterly baffled. "How did she get him to do that?" Then Sakura's eyes widened. "I know!" She had on her 'haha-I-win' smile. Both the blondes were worried. Was their Sakura already corrupted by their idiot friends? "You said if he didn't play with us you'd cut his hair!" The two blondes shared sighs of relief. "Yes Sakura. That's exactly what I said to him. You're good at this guessing thing." Sakura blushed at the praise.
"Oh my gosh! I almost forgot! Sakura needs someone!" Both Temari and Sakura looked over at Ino. "Well, since it's boyfriend versus girlfriend, Sakura needs someone to be her 'boyfriend.'." Sakura just shook her head. "No need Ino-chan. I'll just sit this one out." Ino shook her head at the rose-haired teenager. "No. I will not allow that." Ino looked around the gym, took a deep breathe, and shouted, "WHO HERE WANTS TO BE SAKURA'S BOYFRIEND?" Immediately all the boys, and maybe some girls, ran over to Sakura screaming "I WILL!".
Suddenly, Sakura was lost in a sea of boys. Ino and Temari stared wide-eyed at the crowd surrounding their friend. "SAKURA!" The blondes screamed, teary-eyed, as they ran over to her friend. On the sidelines, Shikamaru sadly shook his head, and sighed. "Troublesome. Now I have to go save them."

With The Rest Of The Group
"What's happening over there?" Everyone turned their head to look at a sea of people. "Oh no. So I wasn't hearing things." Neji looked at his girlfriend. Tenten smiled, and explained. "Well, I heard someone shout 'WHO WANTS TO BE SAKURA'S BOYFRIEND?', but I thought I was just hearing things." Everyone's eyes widened in a mixture of shock and terror. The first one to snap out of it was, surprisingly, Naruto. "We have to save Sakura-chan!" Everyone agreed, and sprung into action.
Neji became the leader of the group, much to Sasuke's annoyance. Everyone readily listened to Neji's plan to get their Cherry Blossom back, except for him. Seeing Sasuke's, Neji couldn't help but taunt him. "What's wrong Uchiha? Sulking because I'm better than you, yet again?" The only reply Neji got was a growl, and a famous Uchiha death glare.
Naruto, dressed in full army garb, came between the two, and shouted. "Quit your stupid fighting! Sakura-chan is out there getting trampled by fanboys! No Cherry Blossom shall get left behind!" Hinata stood beside him, sporting a cop outfit, and 'Mmmed' in agreement. The rest of the group nodded, and looked towards the sea of fanboys. Everyone in the group was holding some sort of weapon. They were holding bats, tennis rackets, and dumbbells, but Naruto's weapon was a little different. "Dobe, why the hell do you have a towel?" Naruto looked at Sasuke, surprised that he asked that question. "It's my weapon! Duh!" Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "How the hell is a towel a weapon." A grin appeared on Naruto's face. "I'll show you, Teme!" With that Naruto twisted his towel, and hit Sasuke on the ass with it.
Since Uchiha's are 'manly-men' Sasuke didn't make a sound. Instead, he gave Naruto the only glare that could affect him. It was the 'you-SO-did-not-just-do-that-Now-I'm-gonna-have-to-kill-you' look. Seeing this, (P.S. Naruto's face was like this 0.o) Naruto turned towards the, now, ocean of fanboys, and screamed "FOR OUR CHERRY BLOSSOM!" Everyone else, except for Sasuke, followed. Looking at his group of friends, Sasuke shook his head, and followed their lead.
A certain pineapple-haired genius, a blonde with four ponytails, and a pink-haired student were sitting under the bleachers. Looking at her new friends, Sakura asked "Shouldn't we tell them that I'm here?" The other two shook their heads. "It'll be too troublesome. If you just announce that you're here, then the fanboys are going to run towards you. Besides, Ino will be blamed for this whole thing. She's so troublesome." Temari grinned at her boyfriend, before looking at Sakura. "Yeah! Ino deserves to take the blame! Because of her you were almost killed! Plus, now can't play volleyball! You didn't need a boyfriend, we could've gotten Sasuke, Sai, or Shino to play!" The pink-haired student shook her head with a smile. "You've got a point there." Just then, Inner Sakura peered in. "A point! It should be a fucking fact! I think I broke a nail!" Sakura mentally sweatdropped at her Inner's words, but didn't say, or think anything.
