Chapter Three: WHAT?!
The next period went by pretty smoothly. The girls were still pretty fumed up by the boys and the encounter they had with them, especially Sakura. No guy in her entire life talked to her the way that Sasuke did. Most just quivered in fear after mouthing off to her. She was known as the tough Goth chick. Getting on her bad side was like preparing your death bed. So who the hell did Uchiha Sasuke think he was?!
"I hate them," she simply stated.
"I do too. They just seem like trouble. And clearly, I don't want to deal with it. I mean last time we did that we got expelled from Sand. I just don't want any bull. I want to graduate and go off to college," said Tenten.
"We all want that Ten, but I just can't let a challenge go unanswered like that," replied Sakura.
"Yes you can and will! Sakura you got to learn how to control your temper. Don't let petty stuff like that get to you. Ignore them," said Ino.
"Yeah Sakura. It's better if we ALL ignore them. If we do that then we don't have to deal with any shit," said Hinata.
"Okay then. You're right."
"So where are we headed to next Ino?" asked Tenten and Hinata.
"Gym! YAY! That means we can get some court time."
"Sweet," replied the others.
When the girls arrived into the gym, they met with Gai-sensei, the gym teacher. He handed the "youthful" gym uniforms and pointed them towards the girls' locker rooms. There the girls changed into the uniforms. They hated it. Not only were they showing too much leg for their liking, but they were also too tight. The black shorts stopped mid-thigh and the white shirts had the school's crest on them, right over the girls' bust, which stuck out more than they liked.
"Okay, that does it; I'm getting us baggier uniforms for tomorrow. These are way too sluttish!" exclaimed Ino.
"Agreed," replied the others.
As they walked out of the locker rooms and told Gai-sensei of their request, Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru, and Naruto were looking at the girls.
"Wow who knew that hags like them actually had bodies," said Sasuke.
"And good ones at that. I mean look at Hinata," said Naruto.
"Hey watch it Naruto, that's my cousin you're talking about," said Neji sternly.
"I thought you hated your cousin," said Shikamaru.
"Yes, but she'd still family and you have to have some respect for your family."
"Point taken."
"Okay guys, enough talking about them. Let's get to practice with the rest of the team," said Sasuke.
"Yes captain," replied the other three.
Meanwhile, the girls were talking to Gai-sensei about gym and the different sports the school offered.
"So Gai-sensei, what about basketball? You see my friends and I were on the team in Sand and—"
"Yes I am aware of your youthful sportsmanship at Sand, but unfortunately, we don't offer a girls basketball team here."
"Ah, so boys and girls play on the same team then?" asked Ino.
"I'm afraid not. You see my youthful new students; girls aren't allowed to play basketball here for the Konoha Leaf Ninjas."
"WHAT?!" screeched the four girls.
"Who made up that crappy rule?!" demanded Hinata.
"The captain. We allow our captains to add some rules to their team's playbook. This year's captain decided to add that as a rule," answered Gai-sensei.
"Is that the team practicing over there?" asked Sakura.
"Yes, bu—"
"Great, c'mon girls, let's give this 'captain' a piece of our minds."
"Okay guys, we're going to practice dribbling and passing," said an oddly familiar voice.
Fumed, the girls walked over and stole the basketball away from a random player. Realizing that the ball was gone, the players stopped moving and looked towards the girls' direction.
"Alright boys, which one of you idiots are the captain of this team?" asked Sakura.
"That would be me," said the familiar voice again.
Walking from the back of the crowd was Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru, and Naruto.
"What?! You four are on the team?! I guess they REALLY let anyone on," said Ino.
"For your information, I happen to be captain of this team," stated Sasuke.
"Wow Ino, you're right. This school really MUST be desperate," said Hinata.
"Hey, how about you guys stop that smart talk and give us the ball," said Naruto.
"Let us think about it…no," said Tenten calmly.
"Look, you don't know who you're dealing with, so I'd be careful if I were you," said Neji.
"Yeah, I'd listen to Neji and quit being so troublesome," said Shikamaru.
"We know who we're dealing with, a bunch of fools. But the biggest fool is you Chicken Ass, for not letting girls on your team," said Sakura.
"It keeps my fan girls away. Plus girls can't play ball, they might break a nail or something," he answered.
"I'll show you break a nail! I bet you for four spots on the team that anything you can do we can do better."
"And if you lose?"
"Then we won't bug you again about getting on the team."
"Deal. Let's get started girls. Let's see what you got by starting off with a race against my best runner Kiba."
The girls lined up next to Kiba and when the whistle blew they were gone with the wind. All four girls finished before Kiba at the same time. The team stood in awe at the girls. Not only were they hot to most of the team, but they could run pretty damn fast. This was definitely an asset that they needed.
"Could you next time give us a worthier opponent?" asked Tenten.
"Yes this one was quite a bore," added Hinata.
"I know what you mean. I could've done that in my sleep," said Ino.
"YAWN— — — — — . What do you guys talking about? I was sleeping," said Sakura.
"You know that's a nasty habit you got there. You should at least show your opponent some respect by staying awake," scolded Ino.
"I would if they weren't so easy. I can't help it if I get bored."
"Alright then, clearly you girls can run, but can you play?" asked Sasuke.
"Bring it on Chicken Hair."
"Okay Pinky, but I'm warning you, I won't go easy."
"Just try to keep up."
Sakura checked the ball, and the game began. It was the first showdown between Sasuke and Sakura. The whole gym class eventually stopped what they were doing and watched the one-on-one battle. They were evenly matched so far. Sakura gave Sasuke a run for his money. This got him sweating some.
"You ready to give up and put us on the team?"
"Not in a million years."
"Now focus 'Captain'. Don't be looking at my body, you're not getting anything from me. You might as well focus on the game instead."
That comment empowered Sasuke some. There was no way that he was going to lose after that girl just talked to him like that. Sasuke stole the ball from Sakura and shot a three pointer making the score a tie of ten to ten.
"Is that good enough for you focus wise, Pinky?"
"Don't get cocky. This game ain't over yet."
Clearly you could tell that the defense was good on both sides, and they were really good shooters. Hell, it was like you could see the passion for the game emerging from both o them as points were being made. Finally it was down to the last thirty seconds. The game was tied 15 to 15, with Sakura in control of the ball. She was dribbling down the court at a steady past, with Sasuke trying to take the ball from her. Each time he tried though, she'd switch the ball to the opposite hand. At mid-court Sasuke finally stole the ball and faked left, causing Sakura to go left as he went right. Running as fast as he could, he got to his basket. Ten seconds were left. The only thing that blocked Sasuke from making that shot was Sakura. Five seconds left and Sasuke and Sakura jumped as Sasuke shot the three pointer. BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Game over. The ball made it into the hoop at the last second, missing the tip of Sakura's fingers by centimeters. It was so close.
"Well, it looks like you can't do anything we can do better," said Sasuke.
"Whatever bastard. Tell the truth, you were scared of me beating you at the game. You're just lucky that the ball missed my hand by a little, or the game would've gone into overtime," replied Sakura.
"So Sasuke, are we on the team or what?" asked Tenten.
"No. We had a deal. If you guys could beat us at anything I challenged you to, I'd let you on the team. Your friend just lost the on-on-one match against me. So your side of the deal was to never bug me about joining my team again. Now go away. We've clearly wasted a whole period doing this child's play with you guys."
"WHY I OUTTA!!" screamed Ino and Hinata.
"Stop it Ino and Hinata. You're gonna regret not letting us on the team sooner or later. Trust me on that one. You're going to be sorry Chicken Ass," said Sakura. With that the girls went back to their locker rooms to change back into their regular clothing.
