-Saya-

I walked from the parking lot with my sister behind me when some random girl came up to me and slapped me.

"What the hell, bitch?"

I asked her and she went to slap me again, but I grabbed her wrist.

"Saya, don't start fights this early in the morning."

Sheera said and I sighed at my sister, but didn't look away from the girl infront of me.

"I didn't start shit, she randomly came out of nowhere and slapped me. I just wanna know why."

I said and tightened my grip around the girl's wrist making her whimper.

"B-Because you kissed Gaara."

She said and I froze for a second before letting the girl go and pushing her away. She took the hint and ran.

"Saya..."

Sheera and Star said together and I tried to walk off and ignore them, but they grabbed my shoulders and turned me around to look at them.

"Talk."

They said in unison and I shivered. Kami it was creepy when they did that.

"Remember how I left with Gaara yesterday?"

I asked and they both nodded.

"Well, I took him to his house to get his homework that he forgot. When we came back Kakashi was walking by and you know how scary he is when he's angry at kids trying to skip his class."

I explained and they both nodded and motioned for me to continue.

"Well, I sorta...kinda...might have kissed Gaara so he wouldn't recognize us as he passed."

I said and both their eyes widened in shock.

"Do you like him?"

Sheera asked and I blushed.

"Hell no!"

I shouted and she looked at me skeptically.

"I don't! Sure he's cool to hang with, has a pretty fucking hot body, and we pick and play, but I don't like the fucker."

I said and Sheera and Star looked at eachother and nodded, seeming to have a silent conversation between the two of them before they turned back to look at me.

"You like him."

They said simutaimiously and I face palmed.

"Oh just forget it."

I said before turning and walking into the school. I got slapped three more times, and got called several names, but each girl that did it got smacked upside the head by me and pushed on their way. I wasn't in the mood to kick anyone's ass today. But my cheek was starting to hurt from all the slaps I was getting.

I walked into Kakashi's class with my sisters and couldn't help but smile as I saw Sakura and Sasuke talking with eachother, Shikamaru was asleep at his desk, Neji was reading a book with TenTen, and Gaara was sitting at our desk staring at the wall with a bored expression on his face. This was everyday activity for our friends in class.

"Remember Saya, mom says to be home by ten tonight."

Star said as we got to my desk since it was the closest to the front of the room.

"Yeah, yeah."

I said boredly, but flinched when Sheera whacked me upside the head.

"Ow dammit!"

I snapped and glared at my sister.

"What? Have I not gotten beaten enough today!?"

I snapped and she whacked me again.

"I swear, if you keep doing that I'm going to wind up with serious brain damage."

I said as I rubbed the back of my head.

"Oh please, you're already braindead."

Naruto said suddnly joining the conversation. I glared at him.

"Like you're one to talk Naruto. You've got about as much brain activity in that little blonde head of yours as a sea slug."

I said and he laughed at me before realizing what I'd said.

"Hey!"

He yelled and me and my sisters laughed at him.

"I'll be home by ten, I promise."

I told Star seriously, ignoring Naruto as he mumbled about friends insulting him when he's wasn't paying attention or something like that.

"Alright."

She said before she and Sheera took their seats. I sighed before plopping down in my own and pushing back against the desk until my chair balanced on two legs.

"You have a curfew now?"

I heard Gaara ask and turned to look at him.

"No, it's just my mom wants me to be home by ten so we can talk about some things."

I said with a shrug and noticed he was looking at my right cheek, which seemed to have a huge ass bullseye painted on it with the words 'slap me here' that I couldn't see, and his eyes narrowed but he didn't say anything.

"Good morning class!"

Kakashi said as he came into the room. The conversations around the room all died down and we all turned to look at him to see what he'd say next. Kakashi was probably one of the coolest teachers I've ever had, and I respected him for that, even if he was always late and extremely lazy.

"Well, as you all know it's getting quite close to Halloween."

Kakashi said and everyone nodded.

"And you all know that the Halloween Dance is coming up in the next couple of weeks and it's girls' choice."

Kakashi said and for a second I went deaf from all the cheers from the slutty little bimbos in the room and I could tell they were all staring at Gaara before I felt them glaring holes into the back of my head. I turned around and growled at them which made them all look away.

"Fucking jealous ass whores, it wasn't even a real fucking kiss."

I mumbled to myself as I subconciously rubbed my abused cheek.

"Now that that's been announced, let's start with how humans would go about asking their intended mates on dates."

Kakashi said and I stifled my laughter.

"What's so funny Saya?"

Kakashi asked and I laughed a bit.

"I'm sorry Kakashi, but humans don't refer to the ones their interested in as their intended."

I explained and noticed everyone was listening to our conversation.

"Oh? What do they refer to them as then?"

Kakashi asked and I sighed.

"Well, say a human girl likes a human guy, they do like we do and ask them out on dates after they flirt with eachother to show they're interested. Though if the guy doesn't act on it the girl can choose to move on to someone else."

I explained and heard 'oohs' and 'aahs' from several people in class.

"Anything else?"

Kakashi asked and I rubbed the back of my head awkwardly. I didn't like being the center of attention.

"Not that I'm gonna share."

I said and he nodded before moving on.

"Fucking nerd."

I heard someone say from a few seats behind me and sighed and slouched in my seat at their comment. See, that's why I usually don't open my mouth.

Class passed relatively quickly and as soon as the bell rang my desk was swamped with girls and I was grabbed, scratched, and tossed away from my chair as the girls fought with eachother to get to Gaara who remained seated and perfectly safe. They all wanted to get to him, but they were all too afraid to even touch him.

"Damn those bitches are insane."

I said as I got to my feet and dusted myself off.

"You can say that again. It's always been like this."

Naruto said as him and the others came over and joined me. We walked to the door and I saw Gaara looking extremely irritated, but didn't show it anywhere but his eyes.

"Should we help him?"

I asked, but Naruto and the others shook their head.

"No. The last thing you want is all those girls turning on you."

Sakura said and I nodded before sparing Gaara one last glance before following Sheera and them out the door and into the hall.

I hopped up on the windowsill as Naruto and our friends gathered around in a loose circle. Itachi and Deidara showed up, followed by Sasori who smiled at me and I returned it with a glare. I still didn't like him for hurting Gaara.

"The Halloween Dance is in about a week right?"

Itachi asked and everyone nodded.

"You all got dates already?"

He asked and several people blushed and looked away from each other. I laughed and rolled my eyes at the obvious couples in my group of friends. Hinata and Naruto were practically in love with eachother, but wouldn't admit it. Sakura was waiting for Sasuke to acknowledge her. Temari was too prideful and Shikamaru was too lazy to do anything. Neji and TenTen were both too afraid of losing their friendship. Then there was me, Sheera, and Star. I could see Star liked Deidara, but I wasn't too sure if he liked her in return. Sheera liked Itachi enough to talk to him, but she seemed too uptight for someone like him. And then there was me. I frowned as I realized I didn't really have anyone I liked or could be paired up with. Sasori was cute, but he was out of the question. Tobi was too childish, Kisame had fucking gills. Gills! And Pein was already taken. Sure there was Kiba, but I didn't see him that way.

"I'm going to take that as a no."

He said and I smiled at him.

"Well, it is girls' choice, so things might get interesting."

Sheera said, trying to break the awkward silence, but it wasn't really working.

"Oh come on already! If you're all so worried about it then pair up. Naruto go with Hinata, Sasuke with Sakura, Neji with TenTen, Shikamaru with Temari, Sheera with Itachi, and Star with DeiDei."

I said and everyone blushed.

"There is no way I'm letting my cousin go out with an idiot like Naruto!"

Neji shouted suddenly and everyone started naming ridiculous reasons why they wouldn't or couldn't go out with who I'd said.

"I never said they had to go out, I just said pair up for the dance. You know, go as friends? You lot are the ones who said something about dates."

I said and they all shut up and blushed.

"What about you sis?"

Star suddenly asked and I looked at her confused.

"What do you mean?"

I asked confused.

"I mean, who are you going to go with?"

She asked and I rubbed the back of my head. I was hoping they'd stay focused on their own problems and not start up on mine.

"She can go with me."

Sasori said and I glared hatefully at him.

"Sure."

I said sweetly which caused everyone to turn and stare at me in shock.

"Just as soon as hell freezes over and humans learn to walk on air."

I said and they all burst out laughing as Sasori glared at me and walked away.

"But seriously Saya, who are you going to go with?"

Naruto asked and I sighed.

"To hell if I know, I don't even like dances all that much."

I said and saw the sad looks from everyone.

"You can go with me!"

Kiba said excitedly and I looked at him before frowning.

"I don't know Kiba, I don't really know how to dance all that well."

I lied quickly and saw the looks my sisters shot me, but thankfully they didn't say anything.

"That's alright sis, we can teach you before the dance."

Star said and I glared at her for butting in.

"Yeah. Please Saya?"

Kiba asked and I frowned.

"I thought it was girls' choice?"

I asked and they all froze at that.

"I'll go with you Kiba, but just as friends."

I said as I hopped down from my spot and push past them all and headed to my next class. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I didn't really want to go to the dance with Kiba. I felt like there was only one person I wanted to go with, but I didn't know who that was and I suppose going with Kiba was better than going by myself.
