A/N: Hi, I think it's good for me to try and update no later than a month in between, at least until I finish the story completely. That way I won't rush the ending and make it a total crap...

I said before that there wouldn't be many if any descriptions of the team on the skateboards since I have no idea how that works and the only time I used a skateboard was when me and my sister used my cousin's board to slide down a hill, sitting on it. It didn't go very well in the end as I was so clumsy that I managed to roll it over my fingers, several times in fact...

Well here is another chapter for you to enjoy and I hope you'll deem it worthy of a review, have fun!.. ;P

"Temari! HELP ME!" Sakura was running through the halls of the school with two very pissed of blonds following her. It was the Monday after the concerts and Sakura had somehow miraculously managed to not only insult Ino but also Deidara that had come to find her under orders *cough threatscough* from Itachi.

The four pigtailed blonde only had enough time to turn around to see what was happening before the pinkette launched at her hiding behind her. "What did you do this time Sakura?" The Sabaku sister sighed, ready to abandon her friend if it turned out to be too much trouble.

"I just said that they looked allot alike." Sakura whined and just as she said that Ino and Deidara reached her human shield, Temari. "She accused me of looking like a guy/girl!" The two of them yelled trying to get to Sakura who kept slapping their hands away along with Temari.

Finally Temari had enough of being a human shield and snapped. "Ino stop!" The annoyance in her voice was apparent and everyone in a mile radius would know that it was better to obey or die. "And you, why are you here?" She then snapped at Deidara who seemed to realize that he wasn't actually supposed to be there for anything else but to give his pink haired teammate a message from their captain.

"I was supposed to tell her." At that he glared at Sakura who shrunk back a bit. Who knew where the boy kept all of his explosions or when he decided to use them on someone, most likely someone with green eyes, pink hair and the name Sakura? "That practice has been canceled today and that Itachi's parents are demanding to meet his friends. So you better show up at his house on time. Here." He handed Sakura a piece of paper at that, which she took still wary of him.

"Why do I have to go!" She whined finally after reading the address on the paper and the time of arrival, she had no doubts that Itachi had given her a time that was at leas an half an hour earlier than the rest of them due to her habit of showing up late. "Now I have to stay in the same house as that jerk Sasuke, its bad enough that I go to the same school as him."

"Suck it up Pinky, you're going or else." Deidara said in farewell rounding a corner with a waive over his shoulder.

"Hey, Ino, Ino." Sakura whispered loudly gaining the attention of her, still slightly pissed off, blonde friend. "Are you sure you're not related or something? I mean it's just freaky how much you two look alike." That was all it took for the chaise to begin again and this time Temari did nothing to help but laugh at her best friends stupidity.

As Sakura kept running from the enraged blonde she spotted just the perfect person for her to use. "Shikamaru!" She yelled at the pineapple haired boy that was walking towards her. Seeing her running full speed towards him it looked like he was deciding to run away or just submit to his fate, he choose the latter.

Grabbing his shoulders Sakura hid behind him while thrusting him forward to Ino. "Protect me oh human shield!" She yelled and just like that Ino ran straight into the boys' arms making them smack their foreheads together. "Ow!" They echoed while Sakura was laughing at them as Shikamaru sat on the floor with Ino sprawled over him in a very awkward position. "Aw, I didn't know you were so close, you should really tell me these sorts of things Ino." Sakura said loud enough so that every single fangirl worth their salt felt their radar tingle and came running in their bellowed Shikamaru's direction, effectively saving Sakura from being chased any longer.

Skipping down the halls happily ignoring the angry shouts from Ino who was being mauled for trying to take precious Shika away from the fangirls, Sakura spotted two other Houkou members. "Hi!" She called as she kept skipping towards them. When neither turned around she figured that they must have thought that she was one of them AKA a fangirl, so she came up behind the blond drummer and jumped on his back making him yell, startled.

"I said 'hi'." Sakura repeated her greeting hanging from the back of the taller blond, resting her chin on his left shoulder with a pout. "Oh it's just you, hi Sakura." Naruto said making said girl jump from his back and smile at the two. Kiba didn't say anything as he seemed to be deep in thought about something and it wasn't until the pinkette started tickling him along with his friend that he gave a response.

"Oh god, stop it, stop, hahaha, please, I can't, b-breath." He was lying on the floor panting when the two finally stopped. "Hi Kiba, what were you so deep in thought about? It was a girl wasn't it?" Sakura asked standing over the boy not allowing him to stand up after his laughing spell.

"Is that true Kiba?" Naruto practically yelled at his friend over excitedly. "Is that why you've been so distant during practice and moody lately?" That made Sakura even more interested than she had been before and it wasn't until ten minutes of continuous pestering that Kiba cracked under the pressure from the two.

"Alright fine, yes it is because of a girl, no I haven't talked to her yet, yes you know her, yes she's in this school, yes she's beautiful, no I'm not just hung up on her so I can use her as a mustache that's your job Naruto and finally no I don't think she likes me like that." As he answered their last question he sounded a bit sad making Sakura determined to help him out, no matter how disastrous her last attempt at matchmaking went. That poor door was never the same again.

"It's alright, just tell me who she is and I'll put in a good word for you or something. A girl would have to be crazy not to want you chasing after her after all." Sakura said trying to sound encouraging but somehow it only made Kiba and surprisingly Naruto a bit down.

"Sakura that's the thing, because of Houkou, girls are willing to throw them selves at us without thinking." Naruto said sounding a bit uncomfortable at that making Sakura remember the mustache comment earlier and realize just why he felt like that when girls threw themselves at him. 'Poor Hinata.' She thought absentmindedly as she listened to Naruto. "None of us want to date one of them it just wouldn't be right." He finished frowning a bit.

"Alright, but can you at least tell me who the girl is so I can see if she's a total airhead or someone worth going after." Sakura said surprisingly seriously. Kiba seemed to debate about it for a minute before shrugging. "Her name is Ino, I don't know if you kn…" He was cut of as Sakura let out a loud yell and jumped him, crushing him in a giant hug.

"That's great. Ino's one of my best friends, she's definitely not an airhead. Well most of the time she's not, but everyone has their moments." She said but suddenly stopped when she started looking around in wonder. "Hey, what time is it?" She then asked making them all realize that they were ten minutes late to class.

A/N: Yay, I know this story is Sakura/Gaara and there will be more Gaara in the upcoming chapters, not the next one though or the one after that, but definitely the one after that...

In the next chapters the plot shows up, finally. It got stuck in traffic and whatnot. Hope you enjoyed reading this and that you'll leave a review for me to enjoy in return... ;P
