.X. Recap .X.
Naruto and Sasuke led the way to the gym class while Sakura lagged behind them. 'I feel bad for not telling them about my past. But the pain of it is too unbearable to remember. I feel really safe around Sasuke though…which is really odd because I only feel this way near Gaara and Kankuro since they are my brothers. Something about him makes me feel safe and secure, just like Sai-nii-chan.'
'Have you ever thought that you felt safe near Sasuke is because he looks like Sai?'
Sakura looked closely at Sasuke from behind. 'Yeah. You're right! He does look like nii-chan!'
'Stupid idiot.'
'Shut up! It's not my fault that I don't see these things easily!'
A voice broke through her argument with herself. "Haruno. Hurry up before we leave you alone in the hallway."
"Coming." Sakura picked up her pace to catch up to her newly found friends.
The trio went on towards the gymnasium. As they entered the doors there was a loud screech, a flash of green and a bright light.
'I knew something like this was gonna happen. Stupid dobe had to scare the girl.'
Just as the trio walked through those huge gymnasium doors a flash of green and black flashed before their eyes, momentarily before a bright light streaked before them.
'Argh! What's with the bright light?' the blossom head thought to herself, as she shield her eyes from the flare.
'Stupid Gai and Lee.' The two boys thought simultaneously to themselves.
"YOU THREE ARE UNYOUTHFUL STUDENTS WHO ARE LATE TO MY YOUTHFUL CLASS. EXPLAIN YOURSELVES NOW OR ELSE YOU WILL HAVE TO RUN 150 LAPS, AND IF YOU CAN'T RUN 150 LAPS YOU WILL DO 100 YOUTHFUL PUSH-UPS…" The thick eye browed teacher rambled on while the rest of the class had a huge sweat drop on their heads. 'Oh great. He is at it again…' everyone thought in unison. The many girls that populated the class glared at the pink head seeing as she was with the HOTTEST guys in the school and hasn't even realized it. As the teacher was talking to himself with rivers of tears running from his bug-like eyes, the trio went into their separate change rooms to put on their gym uniforms quickly and rushed outside to class. (A/N: Girls uniform is a fitting grey shirt with a red school emblem on the back and on the front left side and black short shorts. Boys uniform basically the same kind of styled shirt and black basketball shorts.) They had an even huger sweat drop on their heads when they saw Gai still rambling on about their punishment.
"OI! BUSHY-BROWS! TELL SENSEI TO START THE BLOODY CLASS ALREADY!"
After Sakura came out of the change room she rounded on Ino. "Ne, Ino-pig. Does he always talk like that? You know…the 'youthful' this and the 'youthful' that." She emphasized using air quotes.
Ino let out a huff of air. "Sadly, yes he does." She admitted with a grim expression as she watched the loud mouth blonde yell at the rambling sensei.
"Yosh! Welcome my youthful students! Today we will enjoy a very youthful class with all of our youthful friends in a youthful game of DODGEBALL! All those unyouthful students who do not want to play may sit out on the bench, and all of those YOUTHFUL students may gather themselves in the middle with Uchiha-kun and Lee-kun as captains of the two teams."
The girls and a few others lined each other up waiting to be picked and the guys did the same with a few extra guys just standing around waiting to be picked. Sasuke stood to the right and Lee the other side. They began calling out to the 14 people before them to join their team.

Lee's Team

"Yosh! Let's get this youthful game started!" Everyone went to their respectful sides and waited for the whistle to mark the starting of the 'war'.
"Ne, Saku-chan, remember be careful and don't over exert yourself, but if you do I'll be there to help you ok?" Ino said with a tinge of hidden fear that something might happen to her during the intense game.
"Hai, hai. Don't worry about me I'll be fine. Just enjoy the game." Viridian eyes scanned her surroundings as everyone took their positions waiting the signal.
TWEET! Gai's whistle blasted through the air and the games begin! Sakura was immediately pelted with red coloured balls that sailed through the air with incredible speed courtesy of Ami. With ease, Sakura began dodging the balls left and right. She looked as if she was dancing across the gym floor rather than dodging the hazardous flying objects. Though her health conditions weren't helping her at all. Her stamina began to gradually decrease as her condition caught up to her. Ino looked over at Sakura's flushed face. She rushed over to Sakura's side as soon as she saw Sakura's 'dance' falter a bit as she gradually slowed down. Kana saw this as an opportunity to team up with Ami and attacked the duo with a killing intent. Shikamaru saw this happened and rushed over to help protect the two from receiving any injuries.
Sasuke watched as the two balls were hurled at the girls and too rushed to help protect his teammates. (A/N: I know, I know…too OCC….") Ino and Sakura saw the two balls coming towards them and shut their eyes expecting to get hit, but it never happened. The two opened their eyes and saw to figures surrounding them with hardened expressions glaring at the opposite team. Sakura's face began to pale a bit as her breaths began to come out in even shorter pants as her exhaustion caught up to her. Ino snapped her attention back to Sakura's form. Everyone in the gym stopped what they were doing and watched the scene unfold once again.
"Shika-kun! Sasuke! Watch over Sakura for a minute!" the blonde teen shrieked as she ran off to get her bag. Shikamaru and Sasuke watched the pained expression on Sakura's face and this morning's events flashed through their heads. Hinata, Ten-Ten and Gaara rushed over to the girl. Gaara picked her up bridle style and put her on the bench. Ino ran up to Sakura and pulled a mask over her face to allow her to concentrate on filling her lungs with oxygen and she readied an injection filled with medicine to help calm her breathing down. As the jade-eyed beauty's breathing regulated itself once again, she passed out. Gaara's eyes filled with worry as he looked at Sakura's sleeping form. He let out a sigh. 'What an eventful day for you eh Sakura?' He picked her up and walked out of the gym silently. As soon as he left the gang looked at each other and worry was evident in their eyes, all except Sasuke and Neji who didn't show it. Ino ran out to catch up with Gaara.
"I hope Sakura-chan is going to be alright. I don't think two attacks like that in one day are good for her." Hinata said with sadness and worry radiating off of her for her new friend.
"YOSH! EVERYONE GET CHANGE AND HAVE A YOUTHFUL EVENING!" Gai yelled out to the remaining students of the class. He was clearly oblivious to the happenings in the gym. Everyone complied not wanting to stay with the freaky teacher and headed home.
xxxxxxx Meanwhile with Gaara and Ino xxxxxxx
The pair looked at Sakura with sadden expressions as they know what had caused her to become like this. They were both angry at why this could happen to such an innocent and naïve girl with little care in the world. Why had those people targeted her? As the rounded the corner they spotted Shizune exiting a classroom.
"Shizune-chan!" Ino called out.
Shizune whirled around to the voice calling out to her. She spotted the red head with a sleeping beau in his arms and Ino walking next to him.
"Kami! What happened now?"
"Well…long story short. Two jealous bitches went all out in her in dodge ball. She tired herself out trying to defend herself and ended up like this. She probably doesn't even know why they targeted her and not anyone else." Ino said with an exasperated voice as she shook her head.
"What a day for her. Two attacks in one day and one was mentally horrifying for while the other was physical exhaustion. She might not even wake up until the day after tomorrow. Gaara-kun can you drive her home for me. Tsunade-sama and I have to stay late after school and might not be back till dark."
Gaara nodded as he looked down to the pale girl.
"Arigatou Gaara-kun. Tell Kankuro-kun and Temari-chan to watch over her as well when you guys get home and make sure that when you guys get home get her hooked up to the machines so she can breathe easier."
"Hai, Shizune-nee. We know the drill." He walked away with Sakura in his arms. Ino looked at Shizune and bowed and ran off to Gaara to help him with Sakura.
"Ino-san. Can you call Temari and Kankuro for me and tell them what happened? We need to get home fast so nothing else will happen. Tell them to meet me by the car."
Ino nodded and ran off to the senior's wing to the find the twins. Gaara exited the building and walked swiftly towards the car taking extra precautions not to wake the sleeping female. He open the car door with little difficult and put Sakura in the back seat and buckled her in safely. He pulled his body from the car and stared out towards the exit waiting for his siblings. He saw the door swing open with such force that the hinges almost snapped off. Two figures ran towards him and skidded to a halt in front of him panting heavily.
"What – pant - happened to – pant - Sakura/Saku-chan? – pant -" The two siblings screeched.
"Shut up. Get in the car and I'll explain on the way."
The three got in the car quickly and pulled out of the school parking lot.
"Sakura-chan basically over exerted herself in gym class from two psychotic bitches in dodge ball and yeah." Gaara said from the passenger seat as Temari raced down the road.
"Stupid bitches want to die!" Temari said as red filled her greyish coloured eyes.
"Worry about that later. We have to get Sakura home first."
Temari nodded and pulled up into their average sized mansion. Gaara quickly undid his belt and picked up Sakura and rushed into the house. Her face looked flushed and her temperature began to gradually rise.
"Shit." Gaara cursed under his breath.
He brought her up to her specialized room with all her medical equipment and put her on the bed and pulled an oxygen mask over her porcelain face. He inserted an IV into her arm and another needle filled with her medication in the other arm. Temari and Kankuro walked into the room and stared at their imouto with a saddened expression. Temari walked into the bathroom and got a wash cloth dunked in cold water and wringed if before putting it on her head while Kankuro pulled a blanket over her torso.
The three of them looked at her and sighed. 'This is going to be a long night for all of us.' They thought to themselves. They settled down around the couch at the opposite end of the room and waited for the sick girl to wake up.
To Be Continued.
Finally the end of Chapter 5!
