A/N: I do not own nothing...unless you count Saiki and Hime and several other things of my own twisted imagination. Can you tell that I like High School based fics?

CH. 3: YOU Guys!?

Sakura trembled as she watched the three siblings leave her home. She had not expected anyone to find out her secret so easily. Then again, that boy with red hair, Gaara, was like her. He had admitted that much to her. She reached within herself to find her other self.

'Saiki…are you there?' she asked the other being who inhabited her body. She felt warmth uncoil in her and relaxed.

'What ails you child?' came the soothing purr of her beast. Sakura felt the familiar stretch that she associated with Saiki having been sleeping.

'I'm sorry to wake you Saiki…but I…I met someone, someone like me. He carries a beast as well. I could sense his, but he can't seem to sense mine, until he saw me use the power to my advantage. I…I'm sorry I revealed myself without your permission Saiki.' the young woman sounded so pitiful that Saiki could only croon at her.

'Do not fear one of your own kind, my child. He would have sensed my presence eventually. Now you do not have to be alone anymore. You have someone to talk to. Jurinchiki always need allies little one. Do not fear him, for you would be fearing yourself.' advised the laughing silver eyes in her head. Sakura smiled and shut her own emerald orbs.

'You're right Saiki…go ahead and go back to sleep. I will talk to him about staying quiet.' she chuckled as she felt Saiki stretch and curl back up in a ball. The impression of a large black neko with silver eyes flashed in her head and she chuckled again at the moodiness she associated with Saiki being woken without permission.

Sakura walked to her bed and petted Hime, whose silver eyes were alight with knowledge. Sakura didn't know how, but she knew Hime was aware of Saiki's presence. It was almost like Hime considered Sakura her okaa-san.

'That's because she does think of you as her Okaa-san, silly child.' Sakura outright laughed at the disgruntled tone the large neko used on her.

"Thank you for that information Saiki. Now I know what she is thinking when she thinks of me." Sakura giggled and picked her kitten up, cuddling the fluffy little calico to her chest. She could feel Hime purring, the vibrations running through her.

"C'mon Hime…lets go talk to Gaara-san about your okaa-san's split personality." the kitten mewed and then sat on its perch on her shoulder. Sakura centered herself with some breathing exercises and then opened her eyes once more. Her normally bright emerald eyes had a silver sheen over them.

She looked out the window and saw three heat signals in various parts of the house that was across from hers. But only one had the heat signature she was looking for. That one was in the bedroom that faced her home. Sakura smiled.

"Time for you to see the real me, Gaara-kun." she said and jumped out her window. She landed on her feet, crouched and hidden in shadow. One of her abilities as the neko jurinchiki was her amazing grace and her undetectable stealth.

She made her way over to the house that she deemed her new friends' home. She scaled the wall that led to the balcony of Gaara's room. She sat on the balcony and watched him for a moment. He was currently talking to himself, much like she did when she talked to Saiki.

Sakura politely ignored his inner conversation, while waiting for him to notice her. He still didn't seem to notice her as he stripped off his shirt and threw it at his dirty clothes hamper. It was then that she heard tidbits of his inner conversation.

"You just had to bring up the fact that he might hit her. You know that I'm extremely protective of Temari and you used my attraction to Sakura to make me creep up behind her and scare her to death! She'll probably never speak to me again! Stupid Tanuki!" he growled out, followed by several choice curses. Sakura blushed bright red at the knowledge he was attracted to her.

'Well I hadn't planned on this…SHIT…He's taking off his pants!' she mentally screamed as she watched him strip off his baggy black pants and throw them to land in the hamper with his shirt. He wore red silk boxers and her mouth watered.

She saw him stiffen and them start to turn around. She took a running leap and landed in her front yard and darted up her wall into her room once more. When he turned around, he saw her in her own bedroom, her back to him. He squinted his eyes and saw her stripping her shirt off. He gasped and blushed, but didn't look away.

Sakura was too flustered to think about what she was doing. She had just seen a HOT guy strip to his skivvies right in front of her. She threw off her shirt and bra and shucked her pants and panties before running into her bathroom to take a nice cold shower. Gaara just gaped as he saw her run into her bathroom to take a shower. He had just seen the girl he was SERIOUSLY attracted to in her birthday suit. He groaned and hurriedly walked into his own bathroom to take care of the problem she had caused.

Sakura woke to an annoying blaring noise right by her head. She grabbed for it without uncovering her head. She finally gave up trying to search by touch and threw the comforter off her head. The clock was on the other side of her lamp, so she would have to get up to shut it off. She sighed as she remembered she had done that on purpose so she would have to get up in time for school. She rolled onto her side and smiled as she saw Hime peering at her from the other pillow.

"Morning, princess. You ready for another day in paradise?" she asked light heartedly. Hime purred at her and she chuckled. Sitting up she rubbed her eyes and put her feet on the floor. She walked to her bathroom and looked in the mirror. Her pitch black hair was beginning to have pink streaks in it again.

"Why the hell does this stuff not last very long!? It says four to six months and in only a month and a half my hair is showing pink again. Oh well, a few pink streaks here and there wont hurt…looks kinda good actually." she grimaced at its pale color though. She took out a bottle of red die and squirted a little on the pink clumps. "This should darken it up a little bit."

After waiting a little bit, she stripped off her soft low rider bottoms and her kitten spaghetti strap top and hopped in the shower. She rinsed the die out and shampooed her hair. She finished up with conditioner and body wash and stepped out of the shower.

She wrapped a big, fluffy black towel around herself and put her make up on. She had black eyeliner, silver eye shadow, black mascara and red lipstick. She glanced over at the house across the street and saw a streak of red dart into the room and slammed the door. There was an irritated look on his face and she could faintly hear someone yelling at him.

"Gaara! C'mon man! It's not that bad, it's just a little trim, ya know, before we get our pictures taken for our IDs at the academy. Ya can't go in looking like Inuzuka now can ya!?" she could see him grumbling under his breath and then she saw him fly forward as a blonde haired young man burst through the door.

"GOTCHA! Now hold still!" the blonde crowed as he made a few snips here and there. When it was finished, you really couldn't tell anything had happened, except for the murderous look on the red head's face.

"Uzumaki! If you weren't my best friend I'd kill you for that!" the red head bellowed. Sakura just gaped as Gaara was in a pair of low hung pajama bottoms and she could almost see his pelvic area. She blushed bright red and spun away from the window. She set about getting ready for school, including drying her hair, which caught the attention of the two boys in the room across the street.

"She's up early…" Gaara said to himself, staring at the back beautiful woman in the room across the street from his own. Considering that the street wasn't very wide and her house was close to it, he could perfectly see, and hear, what was going on in her room.

"WHO is THAT!?" the blonde pointed at the girl who was drying her hair in her room. Gaara hoped that the noise of the hair dryer drowned out his idiotic friend.

"Shut up Naruto…she might hear you! Just go back downstairs…I'll be down in a few minutes." he growled at the blonde, who just stared. Gaara gave an exasperated sigh and shoved his friend out. Naruto gave a surprised yelp as he fell out the door and down the steps.

"Gaara! You better be glad that Kyuubi heals me so quickly! That could have broken my arms you jerk!" the blonde yelled back up the stairs as he went into the kitchen to talk to his friend's siblings.

Gaara, meanwhile, stared for a few moments before heading into his bathroom to shower, leaving Sakura to dress in peace.

Sakura was completely oblivious to the blonde who had ogled her towel clad form. When her hair was dry, she walked to her closet and peered inside. She grabbed a baggy pair of black cargo pants that had chains from the belt to the various pockets.

Throwing them on her bed, she shucked her towel and grabbed some lacey panties from her dresser. She put them on then put her pants on. Unlike most baggy pants, these fit perfectly over her ass and flared out right under her ass cheeks. Because she was so short, the pants also made puddle of material at her feet. She grabbed the matching bra and put that on and turned to her closet again.

From her peripheral vision she noticed a flash of red. She turned completely to see a towel clad Gaara staring at her, his eyes wide. She looked down to see her overly large breasts exposed to his wandering eyes. She blushed violently and grabbed her towel to cover them. She noticed blood dripping from his nose and his towel slipped, giving her a glimpse of what those pajama bottoms had been hiding.

She blushed even more and turned away. He noticed and looked down, only to curse and grabbed his towel back up. He could feel the heat in his face and knew he was as red as his hair. Sakura grabbed something out of one of the boxes in her room and went to the window. He could only see her from the belly button up, but he didn't mind.

He grunted in disappointment when she threw a black sheet over her windows. Sakura heard this and chuckled, then went back to dressing. "First thing after school, I'm going shopping for curtains." she said quietly as she laughed and grabbed a white blouse out of her closet.

After buttoning it up most of the way, she left four of the buttons unbuttoned and reached for the black and red corset that was sitting on the shelf in front of her. She snapped everything in place and noticed she had a lot of cleavage because of the top. She laughed as she remembered Gaara's face when he'd seen her breasts.

"Oh this is going to be fun." She chuckled and grabbed her black combat boots out of the box by her dresser. They were high heeled, but only slightly and had buckles and snaps and Anarchy buttons. She grabbed a heavy looking leather jacket and a red helmet she grabbed up her messenger bag and called out to her kitten.

"Hime…c'mon, sweetness. We're going to school!" she heard the soft patter as Hime ran after her. Hime crawled into the largest pocket on the chest of the jacket and mewed happily. Sakura laughed as she put the jacket on and walked out of her house into her garage, school bag and helmet in hand. She opened the door to her garage and looked outside. A nice, sunny, day from the looks of it. She smiled and braided her knee length black hair before she stuck the helmet down on her head and tucked the braid into her jacket.

She sat down on her black and red Ninja ZX-14 with ghosted white cherry blossoms on the front. She started her beloved bike and rolled out of her garage. It was then that she noticed the Vulcan 1600 Mean streak parked beside Temari's convertible.

She gave a short laugh and watched as four people came out of the house. The three Sabaku siblings looked at the biker that was sitting outside their neighbor's house and looked for Sakura's car, which was seemingly gone. Gaara growled and started towards the biker.

Under her helmet she saw them looking for her car, which was in the now closed up garage. She chuckled slightly and watched as Gaara stalked towards her. She made a kissing motion through her helmet and took off. She revved her bike so that it would make a loud noise, a challenge of sorts to whoever owned the Mean Streak.

She looked behind her as Gaara yelled something at the blonde she'd seen earlier and they jumped on what seemed to be the blonde's bike. Sakura gave a wicked smile and did a 180 turn so that she was facing them once more.

She saw them coming towards her and took off at them, popping a wheelie and then racing right past them and onto the road that would take her to he highway. She didn't spare them another glance as she took off in the direction of her new school.

When she pulled up, she saw several students loitering about in the parking lot. One of them was leaning up against a dark blue Mitsubishi Spyder convertible. The others hovered around him like moths hover around a flame.

She pulled her ZX-14 into a spot far enough away from him to not be considered avoiding him, but far away enough that she could take off and get away from him. While she was situating her belongings, she heard a breathy female voice say, "WHO is THAT hunk?" she turned around and looked at the blonde who was looking at her like she was a dinner.

"Probably some transfer student that thinks he's good enough for Konoha Academy. Looks like he came from a public school by the way he's dressed." came the reply from the dark haired guy leaning against the Spyder.

"Who cares WHERE he came from. The point is he's HERE. I want to ride on his awesome bike!" the blonde squealed and drooled over what she thought was a guy.

Sakura rolled her eyes and turned back around, facing her bike. She took off her helmet and strapped it to the back of her bike. She heard a scoff followed by "A guy with long hair? How gay is that?" she arched a brow, then smiled wickedly and pulled her braid out of her jacket and let it hang down to her waist.

"Hey, Ino…his hair is longer than yours!" said one of the girls that was closer to the dark haired man who kept insulting Sakura. Ino glared at the girl, who smiled smugly.

"Well guess what Kim…it's longer than yours too. And you pride yourself on having the longest hair in the school…how sad a BOY has you beat." Ino said snidely and laughed when the other girl turned red. Ino turned back around just as her 'hunk' took off the riding jacket. Ino choked as she saw that her 'hunk' was instead a 'hottie'.

Sakura turned and faced her would be tormentors. "First of all…you MUST be blind to mistake me for a guy…that, or you're a lesbian. Second, there isn't enough money on this earth to convince me to let you ride my bike. And third, my hair is none of your concern." this last statement was made to the dark haired young man who'd said her long hair was gay.

She noticed a flicker of surprise in the man's eyes before the familiar glaze of lust gleaned over his black eyes. Sakura snorted in disgust and folded her jacket over her arm before grabbing her messenger back, which had Hime in it since the jacket no longer would hold her. She locked up her bike and started to walk away when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She could feel the hand groping and she growled at it.

"If you wanna keep that hand I suggest you remove it, before I do." she felt the hand let go and she walked into the school and to the office without a glance in any direction.

Gaara cursed as he caught sight of the bike that had been loitering outside Sakura's house. He told Naruto to park in the same spot with it, so they could question its owner when school was out. They saw the usual group of pricks loitering in the parking lot, but they looked slightly unnerved and slightly upset.

"Wonder what's got the teme's blood boiling. His eyes are flashing red." Naruto whispered to Gaara, who looked at the dark headed leader of the pack of wolves that gathered around the dark blue Spyder. Like Naruto had said, the young man's eyes were flashing red.

He also saw the blonde that clung to the dark haired man constantly fuming on the hood of the car. Just when it seemed she was going to explode, she started screaming.

"Where does that bitch come off calling me, ME of all people, a LESBIAN!? And her haughty tone when she said I couldn't pay her enough to ride her bike! What nerve! I'm going to-" she started then looked over at Temari, who was chuckling at them.

"You're going to get your ass kicked if you mess with her, that's what." Temari had a vicious look on her face. Naruto arched a blonde brow and Gaara crossed his arms over his chest and stood beside Temari. Kankuro looked uninterested and instead headed into the school.

"I wasn't talking to you Sabaku! Get the fuck away from us before Sasuke-kun puts you in your place!" Ino screamed, pointing back at the dark haired youth with the flashing eyes. Temari gave a malevolent laugh.

"Didn't work the last time he tried and it wont work this time either Yamanaka. The Uchiha is no match for me, Gaara, and Naruto, you know that. Naruto came up behind Temari and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Temari-neesan…they aren't worth it. Let's go. I'm sure Hina-chan is waiting on us." he said quietly, and noticed her relax at the mention of the girl they all protected like fragile glass. Gaara growled at Sasuke as a reminder of what would happen if his group crossed the Sabaku siblings.

"Remember your place uwakionna. You are not to challenge us unless you are looking for a quick trip to the after life. After what you people did to Hinata-chan, I have no qualms about killing every last one of you." Naruto's threat was issued with a face so serious that even Sasuke leaned further back against his car.

Naruto's eyes left Ino, who was shivering and about to cry, to look at Sasuke. "Teme…teach your bitches to be more obedient. Next time, it may cost you…dearly." with that said, Naruto turned and walked into the school. Temari glared and followed the younger boy. Gaara, however, stood there glaring at them for a time. Without warning he burst into sand, spraying everyone there.

"I really hate when he does that…it's really creepy." whined Ino, who looked around her to see a few angry faces glaring at her. She huffed and said "What!?" it was then that Sasuke bent before her and looked her in the eyes.

"Ino…do you know what would happen if Naruto decided to take revenge for what we did to his precious girlfriend?" he asked softly, but Ino shook with fear. She knew what he was talking about. Ino had been a witness the Hyuuga girl being beat within an inch of her life to prove a point.

"Y-yes Sasuke-sama. I'm sorry. I'll be more careful." the blonde flinched when he moved his hand towards her. She felt him stroking her hair. She tensed and it was then that she felt him yank her hair roughly so that she was looking into his crimson eyes.

"Good…now…how about we have a little fun before we go into school." there was a sadistic gleam in the man's eyes and Ino felt fear well up in her. She tried to protest but Sasuke sent his flunkies inside and dragged her into his car with him. "Ino…scream for me baby." he whispered, and that's exactly what she did.

Gaara met up with his siblings and friends outside the dean's office. Apparently, there was a new student and the dean wanted Temari to show them around. "I hope it's a hot chick…" Kankuro said, his eyes roaming the halls and looking over the various females.

"You always hope it's a hot chick Kankuro…and usually either it's a guy or a girl you don't find hot." Temari sighed and glared at her brother. Everyone burst into laughter as Kankuro stuck his tongue out at Temari. A loud crashing ended their laughter.

"HENTAI!" came the scream from within the office and the dean's assistant came crashing through the door. He had a blush and a perverted smile on his face.

The dean, a busty blonde woman with hazel eyes, poked her head out her door and the door her assistant had crashed through. "Genma…go to the nurses office and get away from the new student. She might actually kill you the next time you touch her." the dean sighed and shut her door once more. Genma seemed to be trying hard to regain his senses.

"She MUST be hot for Genma-hentai to go after her." Kankuro was craning his neck to get a glimpse of the new student. When Genma regained his senses he was searching frantically for something.

"Where is she!? Where is that angel with soft breasts!?" he jumped up ad frantically searched around him. Everyone sweat dropped except Gaara, who looked a little pissed off.

"I know who the new student is. There's no need to try and catch a glimpse. I can see her with my sand eye." Gaara murmured and a smile graced his features. Temari fell over anime style, then hopped up and pointed at him.

"There is only ONE female I know that has EVER made Gaara smile!" Temari yelled and it was then that the door to the dean's office opened up and out stepped the one person they had NOT been expecting.

"SAKURA!?" Kankuro fell over in a faint. Naruto just stared at her, Hinata tugged on his shirt and he looked back at her with surprise written all over his face.

"Who is it Naruto-kun?" she asked to where only he heard. Naruto bent over and whispered in her ear.

"It's Gaara's new neighbor that he has the hots for." Naruto told his girlfriend, who had become mute to everyone but him. She nodded and watched as the girl lifted her head from her packet of papers and then pointed at them with shock.

"Y-YOU guys!?" she squeaked out in utter disbelief. She then darted out the door and out to the parking lot. Gaara just stood there in amazement. He couldn't believe what he'd seen. Her hair was in a long braid and a few bangs framed her heart shaped face. Her 'come and get me' red lipstick had sent shivers down his spine while her beautiful emerald eyes had been accented with black and silver. It took him a while to process the fact that she was gone.

"Now I wonder what that was all about!?" Temari asked, seeing the look in her baby brother's eyes when he saw their little neighbor again. Without missing a beat, sand swirled around him and he was gone.
