Chapter 5: Sakura's Worst Day

"Arrgh!!! That pervert! How could he mistaken you and Sakura-chan as a couple?!" Naruto screamed like a freak, pointing at Sasuke in anger. He, Sasuke, and Neji were walking near the school gate just after Kakashi dismissed them.

"Shut up, dobe! Everyone is staring at us, thanks to you," Sasuke replied coldly, "And for your information, I don't have that sort of relationship nor any feelings about her."

Naruto scowled. He wasn't satisfied with the answer. He had a bad feeling about that. Well, you could say that he was sometimes surprisingly sensitive. Not in Hinata's case, of course, but sometimes, he was the one who found out if there was something wrong about his friends. And then that feeling told him that Sasuke and Sakura had feelings for each other.

However, before Naruto could say something about that, a figure from above was coming towards them. They all dodged and the figure hit the ground.

"Dammit, thick eyebrows! That was dangerous y'know!" Naruto shouted at Rock Lee who was trying to get up after his attempt on striking at his "rivals" failed.

Everyone now was looking at them. They all gave the boys strange looks and sweatdropped. But no one bother

"Now that's my rivals!" Lee said, patting his trousers, "Always be able to dodge my surprise attack."

"You know, I don't call that "surprise attack", Lee," Neji replied just as cold as how Sasuke always responded to Naruto.

Sasuke nodded, "yeah, since you were screaming like an idiot when you tried to kick us."

But Lee didn't listen to their comments. After getting rid of the dust on his clothes, he pointed at Sasuke, "Uchiha Sasuke. I shall now declared you as my rival in love."

"What the-" everyone shocked at Lee's remark. It was obvious and understandable that Lee had think of Sasuke as one of his rivals in sport but heck, a rival in love? And everyone knew that Lee had a crush on Sakura. They also knew that Sasuke and Sakura hadn't known each other until today. Needless to say again that it was almost impossible for them neither to fall in love at the first sight nor to fall in love for each other so sudden. How could Lee manage to have that kind idea in the first time?

"What do you mean, Lee?"

Sasuke was also confused. He had better cleared his name fast. The Haruno girl had quite a lot of fans out there, though not as much as his or Neji's. And what would the Dobe say about this? Naruto would surely try to send him to hell if he believed that thick eyebrows' words.

"Don't pretend to be innocent! I heard from your teacher that you and my dear Sakura were a couple!"

"NANI?!" Sasuke and the fan girls/boys screamed. 'I'll kill him!' Sasuke thought in anger.

Naruto was trying to add something to make Lee split all of the information he knew, since first he didn't believe in Lee and second, he didn't believe in Kakashi either. But when he realized the time he jolted and grabbed Sasuke and Neji then began to sprint fast. Even before Sasuke had any chance to give any explanation.

"Dammit, I'm lateeeeeee!!!"

Everyone just stared blankly. Then as soon as they recovered, they went back to their previous activities. It all happened everyday, so they were already used to see Lee's attempt on attacking the three. Though some still found that strange.

Sakura, along with Ino, Hinata, and Tenten, who were happened to be there, was one of those who found that strange. Though she didn't have time to think about that as she was then filled with rage.

Inner Sakura: 'Arrgh, what the hell? That crazy teacher! Me and that Ice Bastard?! Hell no!'

"Ano, S-Sakura-chan… I-I think we ha-have a problem h-here…" Hinata's trembling voice got her back to the earth. And just her luck, Sasuke's fan girls who had found her there were giving her how-dare-you-take-my-dear-Sasuke-kun glare.

"Uh oh, RUN!!!" Tenten grabbed Sakura and ran as fast as she could. Hinata and Ino followed them, but they couldn't catch up with her, who was the fastest female sprinter at school.

Few minutes later, Ino and Hinata were catching her breath. "Tenten-chan!!! Don't run so fast! We don't have that devilish speed and stamina you have."

Tenten grinned, "Sorry." Then she glanced at Sakura who looked pale, "Sakura-chan, you OK?"

"I'll just be honest. I wanna puke." Sakura was down to her knees, breathing heavily, "you dragged me and speeding so fast that my legs could barely catch up."

"Aww, I'm sorry, okay? I just wanted to save you from those rabid fangirls," Tenten apologized, "but really, that Kakashi-sensei, I've never thought that he would do such a thing."

"Ugh, I've always thought that that teacher wasn't normal," Sakura got up and turned to Ino, "by the way Ino-chan, you seem so quiet today. What's up?"

"Oh, really? Maybe because I'm still sleepy. You know, holiday makes you to become lazier and changes your nap schedule," Ino grinned, but her expression and voice showed her friends that she was hiding something. Another thing that made them certain was Ino, was the most energetic and talkative one even though she hadn't got any sleep for 3 days. But, they just decided not to talk about that anymore.

"So, what are we talking about?" Ino asked, scratching the back of her head.

"Ino-chaaan!!!!"

"Duh, I was joking!" Ino grinned, "and to me that sensei is a bit weird."

"To me he's completely freak."

"And by the way, Ino-chan, it's not like you not to get mad at him. You know, you usually got mad when someone match Sasuke with girls other than you."

"Why should I? I believe in Sakura-chan. And I know that she has no interest in him."

"Ino-chan…"

"Soooo Sakura-chan, tell me, the man of your dream!"

"Argh, Ino-pig, you were looking for this!"

"Split out, Sakura! Today we shall make you do!"

Inner Sakura: 'Great. After the perverted teacher and the Ice Jerk Uchiha Sasuke now it's Ino-pig. This is surely my worst day!'
