-Gaara-

I walked into my third and mentally sighed when I saw Ciara was already sitting at our table. I sat down and opened my sketchbook and started to draw so i could ignore her, but apparently she couldn't take a hint.

"Hi Gaara."

She said brightly, but I still ignored her.

"What you drawing?"

She asked and started to lean closer to see, but I snapped the cover closed and slid my sketchbook further away from her. She was about to say something else when Asuma spoke up and got everyone's attention.

"Okay class, you've got an assignment due by Thursday of next week and its to be done in pairs."

He said and the whole class started to get excited, but I had a feeling there was more.

"Pairs that I get to choose."

He said and everyone whined, but got quiet when he started listing off partners for the project.

"Nel and Ben."

I didn't really care who I got partnered with.

"Logan and Niki."

So long as I didn't get stuck with the blue haired phsyco next to me.

"And Gaara and Ciara."

Ciara squealed happily and I glared at Asuma.

Maybe I can just ask for a different-

"Oh, and there will be no switches with the pairs. The partner I assigned you is the partner you've got. This project is also worth half your grade."

He said and I cursed as he started to explain what it is he wanted us to do.

The bell rang and I tried to get out of the room before Ciara caught up to me, but my luck just seemed to really suck right now.

"So Gaara, when do you want to start working on our project?"

She asked, walking way too close to me for my liking.

"Never. I'm not working on it with you."

I said as I pushed her back a little to give me room to breathe. I knew what she was trying to do and I wasn't having it. I was perfectly fine with Saya and I planned to keep it that way if I could help it.

"But Gaara, its fifty percent of our grade. You don't really want to fail now, do you?"

She asked and I stopped walking. She had a point.

"Dammit."

I mumbled under my breath and Ciara giggled.

"Come by my place tomorrow around four, we can start on it then."

She said as she tore a piece of paper from her sketchbook and wrote her address on it and handed it to me.

"Don't be late Gar-Gar."

She said as she walked away and I cringed at what she'd just called me, then I realized something that made me want to go back into Asuma's class and kill him.

How the hell am I going to tell Saya?

-THE NEXT DAY-

-Saya-

Gaara has been acting weird ever since after third yesterday. I'd asked Temari what she knew and she said she had no idea.

"Hey Gaara, you want to come over after school? Sheera and Star are gonna be out with Itachi and Deidara."

I said as Gaara and I walked to our second period. He opened his mouth to say something, but paused and growled slightly.

"I can't."

He said and I could tell he had wanted to say anything but that.

"Why?"

I asked curiously.

"I've got to work on my art project. I probably won't be able to hang out after school or after classes for a while."

He said and I sighed.

"Oh, okay."

I said as we walked into Jiraiya's class. I didn't like the fact that I wouldn't be able to spend as much time with Gaara, but I could learn to deal. It's not like it would kill me to spend some time away from him.

-Gaara-

I could tell Saya was disappointed that I couldn't come over and the fact that I wouldn't be able to spend time with her and the others like before. I wanted to kill Asuma now more than ever.

I tuned Jiraiya out and turned to look at Saya to see her playing with her hair. She'd decided to leave the purple streaks in her hair after the effect of Sheera's potions had finally wore off. She only ever played with her hair when she was sad or upset. I tore a piece of paper from my binder and wrote a note to her. She took it and read it before responding and passing it back.

Are you okay?

Not really, but I'll deal.

I frowned and wrote back. I pretended to listen to Jiraiya when Saya passed the note back.

You know I hate this as much as you do right?

Yes, but I'm still going to miss you.

She said and I couldn't help but smile at the note.

What are you going to miss the most?

I asked before passing it back. She pushed it back across the desk after a while.

You, but if you want specifics then I'll miss your arms wrapped around me, your lips, and the way you make me feel when we're making love.

I felt a rush of heat rush through my body as I remembered the last time we'd had sex. I'd found out Saya liked it when I pinned her down. I groaned slightly as my jeans started to become uncomfortable. I quickly scribbled a response before passing the note back to her. I heard her laugh and growled at her.

-Saya-

Gaara passed the note back and I couldn't help but laugh at him.

Hallway, now!

I looked up to see Gaara had asked Jiraiya to use the bathroom. I waited a few minutes just to torture Gaara before pretending to look through my back and not find my binder. Then I asked Jiraiya if I could go to my locker to go get it. As soon as I walked out of the classroom I felt someone grab my hand and pull me into an empty classroom. I smiled at Gaara when I heard him lock the door.

"This isn't cliche at all."

I said sarcastically and heard him growl at me before he started tugging my shirt off. I laughed at him until I felt him start to kiss and nip at my neck. I moaned when I felt his teeth graze my neck and felt him smirk against my skin. I growled and fisted my hand in his hair and pulled his lips away from my neck and up to mine.

I clawed at his clothes and he broke away as he pulled his shirt up over his head and let it join mine on the floor. He reached out and pulled me to him as he kissed me again. I undid his pants and pushed them down his hips to free his little friend of the restricting confines of the denim. He reached up and unclasped my bra as his other hand slid up my skirt. I shivered as the cool metal of the dogtags he'd given me over the summer fell against my chest.

"You should wear skirts more often."

He said as he trailed kisses down my jaw to my breasts.

"Oh shut uah!"

I moaned loudly as I felt him push up into me. I turned to look at him to see him smirking up at me. I glared at him and smirked evilly at him before wrapping my arms around his neck and lifted myself up and started to ride him. He moaned loudly and my smirk widened until he suddenly pushed me up against the wall and pinned my arms above my head.

-Neji-

I thought I heard something from the other side of the wall of the classroom I was in, but when I didn't hear it again I decided to ignore it.

-Gaara-

"Did you have to be so rough?"

Saya asked as she pulled on her shirt.

"I didn't hear you complaining."

I said and smiled when she blushed. I fixed my pants and looked around for my shirt, only to have Saya hold it out to me.

"Thanks."

I said as I took it and slipped it over my head. Saya suddenly laughed and I looked at her confused.

"Your hair."

She said and I reached up and tried to fix it, but she laughed again and moved closer to reach up and fix it herself.

"Let me."

She said as she started to run her fingers through my hair. I dropped my hands and closed my eyes and enjoyed the feel of her fingers running through my hair.

"We should get back."

She said and I opened my eyes when I felt her move away. She was already by the door and I sighed before following her.

When we got to the classroom I pulled her to me and kissed her before letting her go and walking into the room. I sat down at our desk and a few seconds later Saya came in with a binder in hand and a blush on her face. I looked at the binder when she sat down and she passed the note from earlier across the desk.

My excuse for getting out of class.

I smiled at that and slipped the note into my pocket and grabbed Saya's hand under the desk as I pretended to listen to Jiraiya until the bell rang, occasionally running my thumb across her knuckles.

-Ciara-

This is perfect. I can use this project to get closer to Gaara. It won't take long to win him over with my charm compared to that foul-mouthed barbaric whore he calls a girlfriend. He'll be mine, one way or another.

A/N: And that's a wrap...for this chapter. Things have gotten interesting, the lemon scenes won't get any more graphic than that. That's rather toned down for me in my opinion. So, what did you guys think? I've got a LOT planned for this, so please review. Love you all muches, later.
