Okay, so I checked out the poll on my page, and only three people voted! I have to admit, I'm disappointed. I have had 140 views this month… and I am positive most of them didn't review and/or even check the poll out! Not that I am complaining or blaming you guys, but I NEED HELP! LuckyLaTat and Ninja Trio's Best have been great helps to me and I love them, as I do all my reviewers and readers! I will be trying to get Kai to interact more with the other guys on the poll. Also, I am sorry it took me so long to get this up, but I have very limited internet access in the summer… but that's no excuse…

Disclaimer: Me no owny Naruto.

When the bell rang after lunch, I followed Naruto to the gymnasium, along with almost everyone else in my homeroom, excluding Hinata, Shino and Choji. We walked out into the crush of the busy hallway and migrated to the other end, where the gym was located. I tagged along with Ino, Sakura, and TenTen to the locker room, where I picked a locker near all of theirs. They showed me where the spare uniforms were kept, since the school only had one gym teacher and classes were always co-ed. I grabbed my size shirt and pants (which were different [Medium and Small, respectively], due to my… being blessed in size in the northern hemisphere, and not so much the southern….yea… all boob no butt…. It's a little suckish) and went back to the bench by our lockers to change. I wasn't too fond of the uniform: orange booty shorts and a white baby tee with out school emblem on it. On the plus side, the booty shorts helped hide my… lack of lower endowment.

We left the locker room and joined the boys in a group, and I couldn't help but feel like half the guys were staring at me. (Ino would later point out that I was wrong… half of the boys weren't staring at me, they ALL were. I am sure she wasn't serious). Kiba and Naruto proved at least they were by giving wolf-whistles as I walked out. I smacked Naruto in the back of the head.

"Dobe." I said as he pouted. Kiba laughed and I scowled at him, in response to which he backed up and held up his hands in defense, still laughing.

"S-sorry Kai-chan… It's just…" he paused to calm himself down and stop laughing. "It's just that you look cute in that uniform!" I blushed and looked away. Shikamaru glanced at me and I decided he and Neji would be my defense.

"If you two bakas are gonna be like that, I'm hanging with these two!" I flounced over to them and latched onto their arms. Shika sighed.

"Troublesome…" I giggled. Neji looked at me, bemused.

"Really? You're going to use me to get away from those two?"

"Rather you than Lee." I whispered and pointed to aforementioned weirdo, who was hugging who I assumed to be the gym teacher, Gai-sensei, with tears of joy cascading down his face. The teacher, to my horror, was like an adult version of Lee, with a larger nose and smaller, but equally creepy, eyes. Neji sweatdropped, and before he could respond, a familiar long haired blond was walking over to me, grinning.

"Kai-chan, hm!" Deidara was smirking and I giggled and opened my arms for a hug. He willingly obliged and embraced me. "C'mon, I want you to meet some people, yeah!" I followed him to where a cluster of four of the boys from his table at lunch was standing. I recognized Sasori and waved, and he smiled at me. The one I was told was Kisame during Geometry looked shocked that Sasori smiled. I also recognized the Itachi, the other was the strange, masked, dark-skinned boy.

"Kai-chan, this is Kisame…"

"Hey!" Kisame grinned widely. I giggled and responded in kind.

"Hiya!"

"Itachi…." Said boy nodded stoically and hned. I smiled and held out my hand. He glanced down at it and then back up at me. Then, slowly, he clasped my hand and shook it once.

"Mitarashi Kai, nice to meet you Itachi!"

"…And Kakuzu." He stared at me with eerie yellow eyes.

"Hello." He said plainly.

Undaunted, I let out a chipper "Hi!" He just stared at me some more.

Gai-sensei blew a whistle then and got everyone together, having just then finished his hug fest with Lee. "Right then, my youthful students! Today, we are playing Spiderball! This youthful game is essentially team dodgeball, but with more that two teams and free reign over the gym. Rules are simple: Don't hit your teammates, no aiming for the face, and once you are hit, you sit down. The team of the last person standing wins! Play fair and remain youthful! Now, to make this interesting and to test your youthful teamwork skills, I will choose your teams!" A collection of groans was heard as he began to read off the teams of three. They went like this:

TenTen, Lee, and Neji.

Naruto, Sakura, and Sai

Itachi, Kisame, and Kakuzu

Shikamaru, Ino, and a girl named Karin

Deidara, Sasori, and a…shim named Haku. (I could've sworn he was a girl, if he wasn't wearing a boy's uniform and hadn't come out of the boys' locker room.

Sasuke (ugh), a guy name Juugo and another guy named Suigetsu

And, last but not least, Kiba, a boy named Sora, and me

Kiba and Sora just stood on either side of me, glaring at each other. I sighed. This was gonna be fun. I ran my gaze over the other teams, trying to figure out which would be the best to make an alliance with. I decided to go ask Sasori, since I knew him and I wanted to see his reaction to my invite.

"Oi, Sasori-san! C'mere!" He jogged over at my call. "You wanna make an alliance?"

"Is that allowed?"

"Gai-sensei never said it wasn't!" I grinned mischievously.

"Alright. I'll go tell my team." As he walked away, I turned to my team to do the same. There were no objections, and soon the game began. Sora got hit pretty quickly, as did Naruto and Kisame. I pelted a foam ball at Ino laughing as she stuck her tounge out at me when it hit. Dodging to the right, I avoided a missile from TenTen and sent another one flying at Lee. He went down. I turned to see where Kiba was and the rest of my 'alliance'. Haku was out, Kiba had just hit Juugo, and Deidara had somehow managed to hit Shikamaru from across the gym while he was busy avoiding a ball from Sai. Dei-kun's long distance skills amazed me. Sai then hit TenTen, to which Neji retaliated, striking him out. Kakuzu hit Karin, who was too busy staring at Sasuke to notice he was aiming for her. Suigetsu nailed Kakuzu. I barely dodged a ball from Neji. Itachi whacked Sasori. Sasuke got Deidara. I dodged a projectile from Itachi and stuck my tounge out at him. He paused for a moment, confused. That was all Sasuke needed to knock him down. Now it was just him and me.

I reached for the nearest ball, then grabbed two more. He already had one and just stared at me for a second before hurling it. I ducked down and narrowly missed being hit. I threw one back at him which he neatly dodged. I glared as he ran to the next ball. I assaulted him with my second ball, missing by inches. He reached down to get the ball, and in frustration I tossed the last one at him. To everyone's shock, especially mine, it hit him. It hit him good. Right on his butt.

Everyone busted out laughing at the look of surprise on his face, except Karin. Gai-sensei blew the whistle, signaling the end of the game and sending us to change. Ino and TenTen were laughing so hard they could barely stand. Sakura was chuckling and congratulated me on a shot well aimed.

They were still laughing as they led me to History with Iruka-sensei.

Again, my fabulous readers, I am sorry for the delay!And brief explanation on the teams: I realized that without those I didn't have in her gym class, they could not be in their normal squads. I tried to do that to keep it parallel to the actual story... but then I couldn't. I apologize to all fans of Suigetsu, Juugo, and Karin (although who could be a fan of the last one, I don't know), because they will probably not be that important in the story. Sora and Haku might, however... I haven't decided yet... I tend to just go with the flow of ideas and not really think the story through before I publish it... As always, review.

One last thing: I may be publishing another story in a few months that I started on my Quizilla account and abandoned because very few people were reading it. I think I would get more readers here... but that's maybe, not a definite.

'Kay I lied. This is the last thing: PLEASE VOTE ON MY POLL!

For now, sayonara!
