Chapter 6

..~**~..

Sakura continued to stare at the list. She recognised six names in total, hers, her three friends and two other girls from her junior year. Ami's name wasn't on the list, thank God, but another person's name was on it and it spelled out trouble.

Uzumaki, Karin.

Crap!

"Oh my God, you've got to be kidding me!" Ino's voice exclaimed behind her. She must have seen Karin's name on the list too.

"What, who's on the team?" Tenten asked behind them.

Sakura merely pointed at Karin's name on the list, causing Tenten to scowl. "Shit."

Hinata glanced anxiously at her friends. "If Yuugao-sensei put her on the team, there's nothing we can do."

Sakura agreed, trying to lighten their moods. "Come on, there's no point worrying about it now. We're already late for class. Let's just be happy we actually all made it on the team."

"This day just keeps getting better and better," Tenten muttered under her breath before disappearing among the crowd of students in the hall. Ino sighed loudly before heading off towards her locker.

Sakura turned to Hinata, who gave her a reassuring smile. "I'm glad you made it on the squad, Sakura-san."

Sakura linked arms with the Hyuuga girl as they headed to their next class. "Thanks, Hinata. But we're friends now so there's no need for formalities. Just call me Sakura."

..~**~..

The news of the cheerleading squad spread around the school like wildfire. Suddenly, people Sakura had never met before started talking to her, including some senior girls, Okyo and Kaori, who were also on the squad and who seemed to be friends with Naruto's group.

They walked with her to the cafeteria, asking Sakura about life in Suna until Naruto appeared beside them.

"Sakura-chan, you made it on the squad!" he exclaimed, pulling her into a fierce hug. "I knew you could do it."

"Thanks, Naruto." She grinned at him, wondering what the two girls must think of them, but instead she noticed Kaori eyeing her blond friend appreciatively.

"Oh, hey girls," he greeted them. "So you made it on the squad again?"

"Of course," Kaori replied teasingly, stepping closer to him. "Silly Naruto, did you ever doubt us?"

He winked in return and Sakura tried not to let it affect her.

Stop flirting you prick, I'm standing right next to you!

"Come on, Kaori, Kagura's waiting for us," Okyo told her impatiently, pushing her friend towards a table full of seniors. "We'll see you at practice, Sakura."

Sakura nodded before joining Naruto in the lunch queue.

"Did you also hear about Karin making the squad?" she whispered to him, never knowing who might be listening.

Naruto scowled. "Yeah, Ino wouldn't shut up about it in class," he told her, grabbing a sandwich and soda.

"Is it really that bad?" Sakura continued, grabbing a water bottle from the drinks stand. "I mean, weren't you guys friends before the whole 'Sasuke thing'?"

He merely shrugged. "We hung out as a group but we were never as close to her as with Ino, Tenten or even Hinata. Besides, since the break-up she's become a real nasty bitch so my advice to you is to stay far away from her."

Sakura groaned. Staying away wasn't really an option anymore if they were both cheerleaders. They were part of a team now.

Naruto turned his head away as they reached the cashier. "Shit, what's that Hyuuga prick done now?"

Sakura, confused, followed his line of sight towards the large table where they sat yesterday. The guys sat together, but the girls were nowhere to be seen. Instead fangirls happily buzzed around them like bees around honey. Searching the cafeteria, Sakura spotted all three of her friends sitting by themselves at a smaller table.

"You can still sit with us," Naruto invited her as she paid for her meal.

His face looked hopeful but Sakura shook her head. "Sorry, Naruto, they're my friends now too. But don't worry, I'll try and fix things."

She headed towards the table and sat down beside Ino, who looked up at her and smiled. "Hey, we were just looking for you."

"Sorry, had to drop some papers off at the school office and then I ran into some seniors," Sakura explained, biting into her sandwich.

"Oooh, did you meet Hyou or Toura?" Ino asked, her blue eyes suddenly lighting up.

Sakura rolled her eyes. "No, girls, Ino," she corrected her. "I met Okyo and Kaori."

"They were on the team last year," Hinata informed her, finishing up her yogurt. "They're really nice."

"And they always invite us to the senior parties as well," Ino added with a sly smile.

Sakura grinned in return, but then caught sight of Tenten sitting across from her. The brunette looked pretty down and her food had barely been touched.

"Are you guys seeing this?" she steamed, glaring angrily at the boys' table. "We don't sit with them for one day and those sluts are all over them again."

Sakura glanced sideways towards the table and sighed. Neji was currently in deep conversation with a pretty senior.

"Tell me about it," Ino answered. "But you've got to quit staring like that, Ten!"

Tenten's eyes slowly turned away from the boys.

"Soooo, what's this all about then?" Sakura finally dared to ask the dreaded question. "What exactly is going on between you and Neji?"

Tenten did not respond, her eyes dropping to her food tray instead.

"She likes him, he likes her, they've both liked each other for a while now but since Neji's a Hyuuga and Tenten's not part of a clan, he thinks his uncle will never approve of her and thus refuses to date her," Ino explained in a nutshell.

"What? Why?"

"He says there's no point in starting a relationship if his uncle will eventually forbid it," Tenten explained, pushing her spaghetti around with a fork.

Sakura had a strange déjà vu about Tenten not being good enough for the Hyuugas and felt even more sorry for her.

"Listen Tenten," she told her, leaning over the table to catch the brunette's attention. "I had a similar situation back in Suna and there's no easy solution. My honest opinion is if Neji won't stand up to his uncle for you, then he's not worth it. No offense, Hinata."

Hinata merely shrugged. "None taken."

Tenten's brown eyes looked surprised.

"Thank you!" Ino exclaimed loudly, throwing her hands up in the air. "That's what I keep saying to her. Forget the Hyuuga ice block, there are plenty of other hot guys around to date."

"Right, until Neji and the others scare them all away," Sakura retorted, amused.

"Oh, you won't be laughing when they start interfering with your love life too, Sakura," Ino told her in a serious tone, waving her fork at her.

Oh, they can try, Sakura thought darkly. I'll kick their sorry asses if they do. Besides, Naruto wouldn't let them anyway.

A shadow suddenly fell across them.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" a nasal voice spoke up at the head of the table. "The school slut and her gal pals having lunch by themselves?"

Karin had arrived out of nowhere it seemed, arms crossed and a nasty sneer on her face.

School slut? Who the hell is she calling school slut when she's dressed like a hooker? Sakura thought, wondering what the red-head wanted with them.

"What do you want, Karin?" Ino hissed in return, voicing Sakura's thoughts.

"Just thought I'd give you a little warning," Karin stated, staring down at her. "See I'm on the squad now too and I have every intention on making captain. Things are about to change around here, Yamanaka. Your reign is over."

No way, 'your reign is over'? Did she seriously just say that?

Opposite Sakura, Tenten bristled. "Just get out of our faces, Karin."

Karin's eyes narrowed into slits. "I'm sorry, this conversation is strictly between clan members," she shot back icily. "No one invited the school pauper. It's already bad enough that everywhere I go today I have to listen to the gossip concerning you and Neji-kun."

Tenten gritted her teeth, but said nothing.

The red-head looked pointedly over her shoulder towards the boys' table before continuing. "As if a Hyuuga would ever go out with a penniless tramp."

Tenten was up on her feet in an instant, fists clenched. Suddenly, the cafeteria went eerily quiet and everyone's attention seemed turned on them.

"Oooh, struck a nerve, did I?" Karin grinned.

"Just shut the fuck up!" Tenten growled as Hinata put a gentle hand on her arm to stop her from pouncing on the red-head.

Ino slowly stood up as well.

"Wow, Karin," she whispered mockingly, noticing the tension around them. "I knew you were desperate to get Sasuke's attention, but to actually attack us during lunch – now that's just sad."

Karin's eyes went wide at the mention of the Uchiha.

Busted!

"Because your pining over Shikamaru, who's screwing every chick in our school, isn't?" she snarled back.

Sakura's eyes went wide and she realised both Ino and Tenten were ready to hit the girl. Swiftly getting to her feet, she decided to act before things got out of hand.

"Alright, enough!" she exclaimed sliding between them and facing Karin. "You said what you wanted, now leave. Unless you're actually looking for trouble, but if we fight, then so do they."

She nodded pointedly towards the basketball team and then looked over her shoulder towards the swim team. Both tables were glaring at each other across the room, itching for a reason to get into a fight.

"And for goodness sake, we are all on the squad together now and Yuugao-sensei made it quite clear during try outs that we'd all have to get along. But if you start causing trouble, Karin, then who do you think Yuugao-sensei is likely to replace? You... or the four of us?"

Karin seemed to hesitate as she took in Sakura's words. Finally the sneer was back on her face and her eyes glittered angrily.

"Whatever, but don't think this is over yet, Pinky." She then stormed out of the cafeteria, purposely bumping Sakura's shoulder none too gently on the way.

Sakura rolled her eyes before turning back to her friends. "Wow, Naruto was right," she stated, rubbing her shoulder. "That girl is a real nasty bitch."

"God, I fucking hate her," Ino steamed, sitting back down in her seat.

Tenten, however, looked utterly miserable.

"Don't let her get to you, Tenten," Hinata spoke up, pulling her friend back down in her seat.

"Yeah, come on, Ten," Ino agreed, trying to catch her eye. "Neji doesn't care about clans. We all know how you guys feel about each other."

"Neji onii-san would be lucky to have you," Hinata added, trying to cheer up her friend.

Sakura felt at a loss as she noticed the tears slowly building up in Tenten's eyes.

"That's not what he told me this morning," she muttered quietly and stood up once more to leave.

"Ten, wait," Ino cried out, going after her.

Sakura and Hinata watched them leave the cafeteria. "Hinata, is there any way you can talk to Neji about this?" she asked gently, hoping there was some way to help her friend.

"I've already tried," Hinata answered quietly. "And so have the boys. He can be very stubborn when he wants."

"Then we'll just have to make him see what he's missing," Sakura told her with an evil smile as a plan started to form in her head. Hinata stared back at her questioningly.

However, before Sakura could answer, someone appeared by her side.

Realising it was Ryo, her heart jumped to her throat.

..~**~..

"So, anyone want to guess what that was all about?" Naruto finally spoke up as he watched Karin leave the cafeteria and the tension around the table began to dissipate.

"Dobe…" Sasuke warned him, noticing the anger rising off the Hyuuga. Although they hadn't heard the conversation between the girls, they all knew who it concerned the second Tenten had stood up, looking ready to punch Karin's face. The red-head had made it even more obvious when she had pointedly looked over her shoulder towards their table.

She was taunting Tenten about Neji again.

Kiba turned to their pale-eyed friend. "Man, you need to get that stick out of your butt and just ask her out."

"It's not that simple," Neji snapped at him.

"Then make it simple," Kiba growled in return. "Because leaving her to hang whilst all the other girls, especially Karin, like to rub the whole thing in her face – that's not cool."

As if on cue, Tenten suddenly stood up again and hurriedly left the cafeteria. They watched as Ino ran after her.

"I don't understand why those assholes would protect Karin," Naruto said angrily, glaring at the swim team. "I can't believe they would pick a fight with us in the middle of the food hall."

"Suigetsu's got a thing for her," Shikamaru spoke up, biting into his apple.

Sasuke barely listened to the conversation around him. Suigetsu's crush on Karin was nothing new to him. Instead he felt his eyes stray over to the table where a particular pink-haired girl was sitting.

And she wasn't alone.

"Oi, Naruto, heads up," Kiba exclaimed, his attention also on the girls' table.

Naruto looked up in his direction and noticed Ryo Saeba had appeared by Sakura's side. He had some nerve to go talk to her after what had just happened with Karin.

Shikamaru sighed at the sight. "Troublesome."

Sasuke watched on with the others as Sakura turned to face him and smiled. Seconds later, she was even laughing with him. Sasuke noticed Naruto's knuckles turn white as his hands turned to fists.

"He's got her eating out of the palm of his hand," Kiba commented as they watched Sakura make goo-goo eyes at the swimmer.

Sasuke didn't know what Saeba was upto but it was probably bad. The swim team was always looking for new ways to get back at Sasuke and his friends and it seemed the pink-haired girl was their next goal.

"Naruto," Sasuke spoke up.

"On it," the blond answered, leaping to his feet.

However, before he could make a move towards Sakura, the bell rang and students were suddenly filing out to the hallway.

Sasuke watched Saeba disappear among the crowd and wondered why it even bothered him in the first place to see him with Naruto's pink-haired friend.

..~**~..

Sakura rubbed her eyes as she left her last class of the day and slowly headed towards her locker. Ino was chatting excitedly next to her as their first cheerleader practice was coming up. Sakura barely listened to her as the blonde continued to give an elaborate description of last year's cheerleader outfit.

Sakura didn't care much about the outfit as long as it wasn't pink. She was, however, looking forward to practice and learning some new stunts. She was glad to have made the team after all and even more glad that Ryo had come by to congratulate her during her lunch break. That had certainly been the high point of her day so far.

She grinned thinking about the small encounter with the cute swimmer earlier in the day. However, as she followed Ino round a corner of the main hallway, her smile faded. A crowd had formed ahead of them and as the girls approached, Sakura's eyes went wide at the sight before them.

Sasuke had Ryo held up against the lockers with one hand while Naruto stood beside them.

What the hell?

Ino, beside her, groaned. "God, can't they give it a break?"

She watched as a glaring Sasuke leaned forward and whispered something in Ryo's ear before letting him go. Just as he did, Kakashi-sensei appeared at one end of the hallway and immediately the crowd dispersed. Ryo smirked at Sasuke, slowly righting his shirt before heading down the corridor as well.

"I wonder what that was all about," Ino told her, stopping at her locker to drop off her books. Sakura continued her way towards Naruto eager to get some answers.

"What the hell were you guys doing?" she asked, looking between the two boys as soon as they caught sight of her.

"Don't worry about it, Sakura-chan," Naruto told her with a smile, although it didn't quite reach his eyes. "It's nothing."

"Nothing, my ass," she scoffed, watching her friend closely. "What happened with Ryo?"

"Stay away from him," a harsh voice spoke up behind her. "He's bad news."

Sakura immediately rounded on Sasuke. "I wasn't talking to you, Uchiha."

He stared at her and for a second Sakura thought he seemed surprised by her reaction.

Yeah, that's right, pretty boy. Don't you dare think you can start ordering me around!

When neither boy was likely to clarify the situation for her, Sakura shook her head and walked off towards her locker.

Stupid boys!

"Sakura, you aren't mad, are you?" Naruto's voice spoke up behind.

"What did he do?" Sakura asked him once more, trying to remember her combination. "I know you, Naruto, and I know you don't just attack people in the corridors. He must have done or said something."

Naruto didn't respond but hovered nervously beside her.

Finally Sakura managed to open her locker. "If it was about me, you can just say it," she told him annoyed, stacking her books inside.

"Well not specifically," Naruto answered, leaning against the lockers. "He was just trying to rile us up - well more like Sasuke actually. But Teme's right, you know, you really should stay away from him."

"Hmmm and since when do you interfere with my social life? Because if you start acting like Neji does towards Tenten, then I might just have to beat you up," she threatened him in a sweet voice.

Naruto gulped. "Okay, I'm sorry. I won't interfere," he apologised, his hand rubbing the back of his head. "It's just… I don't trust those guys and I don't want you to get hurt."

The sincerity in his voice wiped away all her anger and annoyance. Naruto always knew how to appeal to her soft side.

She gave a long sigh. "I know you're just looking out for me, but when have I ever been hurt because of a guy?"

Naruto opened his mouth to respond.

"Apart from Kankuro!" she added quickly.

He shut his mouth.

"I'm not so naïve anymore, Naruto," she admitted to him with a sly smile. "I know what guys like Ryo are really like, but if I choose to hang out with him or any other guys from the swim team, then you'll just have to deal with it."

Naruto scowled, but before he could protest, Sakura slammed her locker. "And that idiot friend of yours will have to deal with it too."

..~**~..

Sakura stuffed her bag in the changing room locker after taking out her sportswear. She heard a couple of giggling girls enter the changing room in the far back and took no notice until they stopped at the row of lockers behind her.

"Did you hear about Sasuke-kun and Ryo?" Sakura heard Kaori whisper. She rolled her eyes and kept on changing clothes. Ino and her friends were already in the dojo.

"Are you serious? Who didn't?" Sakura recognised Okyo's voice.

"Well Hibari-chan heard the whole thing from her locker," Kaori continued excitedly. "Ryo was totally baiting Sasuke-kun on purpose. Apparently he said something about hot girls needing a challenge and that if they all ended up with the swim team instead of the basketball one, it shouldn't come as a surprise."

Sakura's lips twitched as she held in a snort. She could almost imagine Naruto and Sasuke's faces as Ryo questioned their manliness.

"No freaking way!"

"I know right!"

"Do you think he was talking about how Sasuke's ex is now hanging out with Suigetsu and that lot?"

"Probably, although didn't you notice Ryo during lunch break?"

Sakura wanted to groan knowing where their conversation was headed.

"No, why?"

"God, Okyo, you need to start paying attention!" Kaori exclaimed in frustration. "Didn't you see the tension between the basketball players and the swim team during lunch?"

"Yes, thanks Captain Obvious, I think everyone saw that."

"Yeah well didn't you see Ryo go to the girls' table after Karin left?"

"Wow, I guess he really was trying to piss the guys off."

"Orrrr, he's interested in someone," Kaori answered proudly.

Sakura's ears suddenly picked up. She knew she shouldn't be eavesdropping on the girls' gossip but her Inner self was just dying to hear more about Ryo.

"Really? Who was he talking to during lunch then?"

"Sakura, the new girl."

"Oooh, so you think Ryo was actually talking about Sakura and not Karin then with that comment?"

Sakura froze.

"Maybe. But isn't it a little weird then that Sasuke reacted so strongly?" Kaori questioned as both girls began walking away.

"I wouldn't read into it, Kaori. You know how protective those guys can be."

Although their voices began to fade, Sakura still caught the last of Kaori's words.

"Yeah, or maybe he likes her as well."

..~**~..

"Gather 'round, ladies," Yuugao-sensei exclaimed as soon as Sakura entered the dojo. She moved closer in between Tenten and Hinata, trying to ignore what she had just heard in the changing rooms and also Karin's constant glares.

"I have a few words to say before we start to warm-up," she continued sharply, watching each one of them like a hawk. "I have a few rules concerning your looks when you come to practice. First, your hair must always be tied back unless I say otherwise. Your nails must be kept short and I don't want to see anyone wearing jewelry."

At that she stopped in front of Ino, frowning at her like thunder until the blonde quickly took out her silver hoops.

"There will be no talking when I speak, especially when I'm giving out instructions and no complaints. And if anyone ever mentions the word 'spirit fingers' to me, they're off the team. Do I make myself clear?"

Everyone nodded on the beat. Sakura felt her breath hitch – their coach was pretty scary.

"Good, now gather closer, I want to show you a tape of last year's winners of the international cheer competition," she announced, turning back to a small television next to the table at the entrance of the dojo. A few girls sat down in front so that everyone could see the video.

"Alright, here it is."

The screen flicked to life and Sakura watched last year winners's performance. Apparently the cheer champion squad was called the Akatsuki.

Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard

When we drink we do it right getting' slizzard

They were dancing to Far East Movement's Like a G6. Sakura watched their advanced stunts and tumbles and her jaw dropped in amazement.

They were incredible. They could dance, they were sexy and they did some awesome tosses. It was no wonder they had won.

The screen abruptly paused.

"Pick up your jaws, ladies," Yuugao-sensei cut in visibly frustrated. "If you think that was a good performance, you clearly need to get some glasses!"

All the girls seemed visibly startled by the coach's words.

"Let's watch it again, shall we?" The video started over again and Sakura tried desperately to spot the errors in the squad's performance.

"Look at the girls on the left," the coach started, her brown eyes fixed on the screen, "their timing is wrong. Their tosses aren't high enough and their landings are sloppy. The flyer on the right isn't keeping her body tight enough and when they prepare for their stunts things get boring. Their choreography is weak at best."

Sakura still thought they looked amazing and judging by the confused looks around her she wasn't the only one.

"I expect better from you," she suddenly told them stopping in front of the screen. "Of course, I don't expect you to be able to do the same stunts today, but we will work our way up throughout the year. I expect you to train as much as possible and expect you to push your limits continuously so that you will each give the best you can. And by the time of the competition, ladies, believe me when I say, we will be the best."

Sakura's nerves went haywire. Oh dear God, what have I got myself into?

"Right, now let's go warm-up," she told them, clapping her hands. "Before every practice we will warm-up twenty minutes. I expect you to do the same at home, especially if you want to improve your flexibility. But remember, if you aren't sweating then you aren't warmed up enough!"

Half an hour later, Sakura thought she was going to die. Even gymnastics had never pushed her this hard. After the warm-ups, Yuugao-sensei had wanted to practice tumbling for everyone, making them repeat basic roundoffs, walkovers, backhands and layoffs over and over again to make them perfect. For every girl, she pointed out faults and finally got Sakura and Ino to help and spot for them.

"We're all in this together girls," Yuugao-sensei kept telling them. "Whoever is strongest at one thing must help out the others get better. We must all improve together as a group. Girls who stand out during cheer performances aren't the prettiest ones or the flyers, but the girls who can't keep up with the rest, whose bodies aren't tight enough, whose legs don't snap quick enough. They stick out like a sore thumb. Now once more."

After tumbling, came the jumps and cheers. It was all new to Sakura - learning counts, the words of the cheer, the motions and jumps. However, Yuugao-sensei didn't seem too keen on the cheering and only taught them a quick routine.

"School spirit is important," she told them at the start, "but what everyone really wants to see is your dance moves and the stunts. Girls cheering out letters and colours quickly gets boring. Of course we will cheer and chant at the start of each performance but it will never exceed a couple of minutes. Then the song will kick in and we'll do our thing."

She winked slyly at them then and Sakura noticed half the squad look back at her as if she were mad.

"Of course, I encourage you to write your own cheers," she added quickly, whilst turning to the stereo and fumbling through her CDs. "You can submit them to me whenever you want and I'll consider them."

She clapped her hands once more, something Sakura was going to get used to from now on. Cheerleaders apparently clapped a lot.

"Right, now onto the dance moves," the coach continued, her eyes suddenly lighting up as she walked over to the wall of mirrors. "The first game is next Friday. That gives us plenty of time to prepare our half-time show. The choreography is already set, more or less, but most of it will depend on your dancing skills."

Dance music suddenly filled the room and everyone spread out ready to follow the coach and her counts.

Barely three minutes into the dance routine and Sakura was lost. She didn't seem to be the only one having trouble keeping up but judging from the scowl on Yuugao's face, she had a lot of work to do.

Finally, the last half hour of practice was spent explaining stunts such as full ups and basket tosses. Yuugao-sensei went through a full explanation of how to do a full up and how to dismount before showing them a teaching video.

Sakura bit her lip as she watched the flyer in the video do an extension. She finally realised just how wrong things could go if the girl fell. Yuugao-sensei was taking the first practice extremely seriously and worked hang drills with four girls at a time as everyone else watched. Finally it was Sakura's turn, along with Tenten, Hinata and Kagura, a senior. She tried out all three positions and realised just how toned her body needed to be to do an extension. She also felt a thrill as she tried a full up extension and was somehow successful on her third try.

"That's great, girls," Yuugao-sensei told them as practice was finally over. "I see some of you already have experience with stunts and I have seen great potential for flyers. Now before you leave, please come by my desk to pick up some paperwork. Outfits will arrive tomorrow."

"Hey Sakura, you did pretty good for your first time," Hinata told her as they waited in line by the desk.

"Thanks, Hinata," she answered, rubbing a sore spot on her shoulder. "I didn't realise how tough these stunts were. Ino was pretty awesome. I guess you guys have already learned this stuff, huh?"

Hinata nodded. "Yeah, Ino's a natural flyer, Tenten and I were bases. We did a few stunts but nothing too dangerous. Yuugao-sensei, however, doesn't seem to share the same concerns about safety as our old coach."

"No kidding, that woman is fearless," Sakura whispered anxiously as they approached the table. The papers consisted of parental authorisations as well as a glossary of all cheerleader jumps and stunts, accompanied by technical drawings.

"I hope these help," Yuugao-sensei told them, handing out the last of the forms. "I expect to add full up extensions and liberties if not more to our performance for next Friday, so practice, practice, and practice!"

Sakura groaned thinking how much of her time cheerleader practices were going to take. And then there was homework…

God, I am so screwed!

..~**~..

So that's chapter 6! I don't like Karin but I don't hate her either so I guess she might change into a decent person as things go. She's on the cheerleading team after all. And I totally forgot to ask last time... does the name Ryo Saeba ring a bell to anyone? He was my favourite manga character when I was younger! :)

As always, reviews are appreciated!
