A/N: Here's the fifth chapter! Please enjoy.

Thunder boomed not so distantly. The rain crashed against the windows and lightening appeared not too far away.

"Why can't we go outside?" A whine broke through the rain's song. Megumi rolled her eyes.

"Uzumaki, we're tutoring each other! And besides, it's raining cats and dogs out there!" She scolded. She cringed as she sounded like his mother. Speaking of which..."How come I've never seen her? Your mother?" He looked down at his paper.

"I'd rather not talk about it." He whispered. Of course, this only raised her curiousity, but she decided not to push the subject. If he didn't want to talk about it, he didn't have to.

"Okay, let's talk about English." She said while gently pushing a Lit. book under his nose. She still couldn't believe he was in her house. She shook off the feeling and focused on teaching the boy in front of her. "What exactly do you have trouble with?" Uzumaki thought for a moment before replying.

"Commas, semicolons, essays, such of the like. You?"

"I can't do the trig chapter." Megumi admitted. He smiled.

"Well, let's get to work."

??

"So you're sure this is her address?"

"Well I am her teacher."

A smirk that could almost pass as a smile graced the other's lips. "Or course." Leaving the classroom, their smirk grew. Her plan was finally set into motion.

??

"Kiba?"

Kiba looked up from his homework and was surprised that he wasn't surprised at his person's visit to the local library. "Gaara," he acknowledged.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Nice weather," Gaara looked down. He wanted to kick himself. Nice weather? He might as well move to his favorite village, Sunagakure! He chanced a glance at Kiba's quizzical face and immediately looked down again. Kami, his crush thought he was a freak! Never mind the village now, he needed to crawl into a hole and die!

"Do you need something?" Kiba asked after a few minutes. Gaara said nothing but glanced at the brunette again.

The latter sighed. "Listen Gaara, I can't-"

"Iwaswonderingifyou'dgooutwithme?" The redhead yelled out. He half-expected the librarian to come around the corner and hiss out a "Be quiet!"

Kiba's eyes went wide, only to be narrowed in confusion. "I'm sorry...could you repeat that?"

Gaara sighed. Why didn't he just keep his mouth shut? "I...was wondering...if you'd...you know, go out...with...me?" Now he definately wanted to disappear. But to his surprise-not mention the brunette loud mouth's-Kiba smiled.

"Sure."

??

"Oh! Okay, Line AB is tangent to circle C at point A and Line DB is tangent to cirlce C at point D. If Line AB equals 2, then x equals 2!"

"Finally you show some brains!" Naruto joked. He couldn't believe Mitarashi could pick up on this so quickly. "Now it's my turn." He tried to say it confidently, but failed miserably. Mitarashi must've picked up on his nervousness because she smiled soothingly.

"Don't worry, it's not a test. We'll take our time on it okay?" She knew he'd do okay. After all they'd started with commas and now he could do that with practiced ease. Megumi knew that Uzumaki just needed to slow to his own pace and he'd get it soon enough.

"Okay, here we go."

??

"Listen Mitarashi! I'm not getting it! I'm stupid okay?!"

"You're not stupid you just think you are so you stop trying! I bet if you'd out an ounce of the concentration you reserve for pranks into your English class, you'd be getting great grades! You'd probably even be-" Suddenly she was cut off as Uzumaki's lips collided with hers in a kiss.

??

She doubled checked the paper after looking at the house number and street name. She changed her smirk to a pleasant smile, walked up to the door and knocked. This would be as sweet as a piece of pie.

??

Megumi sat at the empty table, Uzumaki already long gone. Apparently he had started to get up and stretch when he tripped and fell on Megumi. Though he had apologized multiple times, especially when he was leaving the house, the look in his eyes told the girl that he wasn't exactly complaining . And Megumi was surprised to find that she wasn't either.

That's why she still sat at the table even though her mother had told her to get dinner started. Why didn't she push his off? Why did she feel butterflies in her stomach everytime she thought about the kiss? Why-

Suddenly a knock sounded at the door, startling her from her thoughts. Who could that be?...She was surprised at who she found on the other side of the door.

"Sakura?" Could the pink-haired girl have gotten the address wrong? She sure didn't look confused though...

"Hello Megumi! May I come in?"

A/N: Okay, review please! Should Megumi become friends with Sakura? Should she flat out reject her? I'd like your ideas for the story, because I had something planned out, but with the way the fic's going now, I don't think it'd make much sense...Preview!

She woke up in a cold sweat and she could barely remember her dream. She knew it was about a little boy, but she didn't know what he looked like or what happened. All she could think of was one phrase the boy kept mumbling to himself. That one phrase was repeating itself in her mind in his voice.

Dead! Everyone's dead!

Sorry it's kinda short, but I should have enough inspiration to get the next chapter up soon! Ciao!
