Summary: She was that shy, seemingly mute girl, with abnormal pink hair. She would sit in the back of the class, and would faint at the slightest touch. And she was the girl who disappeared without a trace. At least she was... 2 years ago. Now she's back, different from before, and unconsciously attracting the attention of some very hot men. AU OOC SAKUMULTI

Disclaimer: Nope.

Note: Fanart anyone? Haha. Seriously though, can someone please draw a scene in this or any other stories of mine? You don't have to, but it helps out my motivation. A lot of which I really need now that the worst thing in my life is about to come back in about 4 days.

Yeah. That's right. School.

::CHAPTER 3::

"Well shit." Well shit indeed. In front of her, she could feel the Hyuuga turn to glance at her every once and awhile, and next to her, Nara had his face buried into his arms, but due to his position and the hole he made in the middle of his folded arms, Sakura just knew he was staring at her with his narrowed brown eyes. And then Uchiha, in front of Nara, was just shamelessly starring at her, an arm propped on the back of his seat and holding his head up.

She didn't even bother listening to Asuma, as she already knew most of the materiel, so she had turned her head out the window. That's when she felt the creepy stares. It was really starting to freak her out, and she thought she was going to freaking explode if they don't turn away sooner or later.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... is that your real hair?"

What?

What?

"What?"

Sakura cringed, snapping her towards the Nara, her emerald orbs glaring at him. "Is that your real hair?" Shikamaru asked again, unfolding his arms and just setting his head onto the table while he let his arms just dangle over the desk.

"Of course not Shikamaru, she probably just dyed it or something," Sakura turned her glare towards Neji. "I did not dye it." She growled. "Oh really?" Sasuke asked, dropping his arm from the back of the seat and reaching over to one of Sakura's bangs. Her eyes widened and she backed away, her chair screeching slightly and interrupting Asuma. "Haruno? Is something wrong?"

Sasuke spun around in his seat and Shikamaru lazily looked up front, while Sakura coughed slightly. "It's nothing sensei," She said. Asuma narrowed his eyes but continued teaching nonetheless.

Sakura sighed in irritation and noticed the creepy stares again. "Will you quit staring at me you creepers?" She hissed, glaring at each of the three males who had resumed staring at her once Asuma had his back turned towards the board.

Sakura guessed that her snapping at them most likely shocked them, as Sasuke nearly fell off his chair.

She smirked to herself, leaning back into her chair in satisfactory. "You!-" The bell rang at the exact moment Sasuke had yelled, and Sakura scrambled up from her desk, throwing her bag over her shoulder, she maneuvered her way out of the classroom first, disappearing into the few students who had already exited out of their classrooms.

"PANDA-CHAN!" Sakura had ran back upstairs in a rush to find metallic red hair, and she found her friend just exiting out of his classroom, his own bag tossed over his shoulder. Gaara felt a sudden rush of deja vu as Sakura latched herself onto his face, wrapping her legs around his chest and giving him a mouthful of her stomach.

The passing students sent them questioning glances, as Gaara stumbled back in surprise. "Wuf the fuf Fakura? (What the fuck Sakura?)" He placed his hands on her hips and tugged her off glaring at her when she landed lopsidedly on her feet. "Quit doing that!" He hissed.

"But Gaaaarrraaa!"

Gaara gave her a silent glare, and pouting childishly while crossing her arms over her chest, she shut her yap and shrugged her shoulder so that her bag stopped sagging. "Okay. Now do you know where English is?"

"Why are you asking me? I'm directionally-challenged!" Sakura huffed, arms going uncrossed as she sent him a questioning glare. "Sure, now you admit it."

"What the hell are you talking about? I've always known that!"

"You didn't say that this morning."

"SHUT UP!"

Gaara smirked, sticking his hands into his pockets and began walking away down the hallway, Sakura trailing after him grumbling under her breath. A few feet from where the pair had originally been, were two teens, a year or two older than our oh-so lovely heroine.

"Look sempai!" The first teen, whom had spiky black hair and a rather abnormal orange swirly mask concealing his face, chattered excitedly, "Look, look! Tobi found a pretty girl! A pretty girl with pink hair! With pink hair and big green eyes!" Tobi Uchiha pointed at the general direction Sakura had headed off to with Gaara.

The other teen, who looked just as peculiar as Tobi, with uneven tans, one side darker than the other, very bright yellow eyes, and tousled green hair, raised an eyebrow. "Pink hair Tobi? What? Are you fucking insane?" Two-voiced Zetsu Sekkei (made it up off the top of my head XP) asked irritably.

"But sempai!" Tobi protested, waving his arm franticly towards Sakura direction, but unfortunately for the second year, her bob of pink hair had already disappeared deeper into the shuffling students. "Tobi, there is no fucking pink haired girl is there. Now let's go up to the roof!"

Tobi whimpered, looking off to Sakura's direction once again, before seeing just a mere flash of pink in the crowd just off the distance. "SEMPAI!"

"FOUND IT!" The occupants already inside English, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Naruto, and Ino all shut their yap when an over-excited feminine, yet soundly familiar voice chirped happily just outside of the door. "It was just down the hallway from my math class Sakura, if anything, I found it. I was the one in front of you the whole time."

"You found nothing! You were doing the same thing I was this morning!"

"So you admit you didn't know where Hatake's classroom was."

"... you're a bastard Gaara."

And with that, Sakura slammed the door open, a childish frown on her features, arms crossing over her chest, and trailing after her with one hand stuck in his pocket the other holding the bag he had flung over his shoulder, an amused look on his face was of course, as stated above, Gaara.

Naruto grinned. "HEYYY GAAARAA!"

Gaara winced at the voice. "Oh great the moron from math class." His amused face immediately formed into a scowl as he instinctively moved in front of Sakura. "Hey- Gaara!" She stood on her tip-toes to try and look over her friend's shoulder, but only succeeding in catching a mere glance of spiky yellow hair. "Looks like we have English together too!" Sakura pursed her lips upon hearing the voice that seemed to match her in over-excitement.

She then pushed Gaara slightly so she was able to side-step the taller male and catch the sight of Naruto, a wide grin spread on his face and his friends slowly coming over behind him. She blinked. "Eh? Gaara! You know you were hiding a pink-haired girl behind you!"

Gaara just snorted, hands crossing over his chest and he turned his head sideways in a heated scowl. Sakura grinned up at Naruto, nudging Gaara with her shoulder. "Hi, I'm Sakura. Gaara's friend."

"I'm Naruto!" Naruto grinned back, "Gaara's friend too!"

"We are not friends you blonde little-" Gaara was so-rudely interrupted when Sakura elbowed him in the stomach. Naruto's grin only widened, to the point where Sakura assumed his cheeks hurt. "Nice to meet cha' Sakura-chan!" The blonde stuck his hand out, waiting for Sakura to grab it and shake it enthusiastically, like most new girls upon their first time seeing the admittedly very handsome Uzumaki.

Sakura eyed his hand warily, and Naruto's grin slightly faded. "What's wrong Sak-" He too was oh-so rudely cut off when Kiba shoved away from the small pinkette, with Ino just next to him. "I'm Kiba Inuzuka!" He stated proudly, "And this is Akamaru!" A little beige puppy popped out of his jacket and gave Sakura what seemed like a lopsided puppy grin. "And I'm Ino," Said platinum blonde smiled. "You're cute! You mind being my next dress-up doll?"

"W-what?" The confusion only built up more when Naruto came flying from the ground, flinging himself onto Kiba, making poor Akamaru jump instinctively into Sakura's arms. Gaara growled, grabbing Sakura's arm and pulling her away from the fighting males. "Gaara be careful, the puppy!"

Upon hearing the word puppy, Kiba frankly kicked Naruto off him, jumping up to his feet and sauntering towards the pinkette. He took note of his dog, who was nuzzling against Sakura very affectionately. "Well Akamaru seems to have taken a liking to you..."

Sakura nodded, and Akamaru craned his neck to lick her face. Kiba grinned wolfishly and leaned towards her. Sakura felt his presence and squeaked, backing up onto Gaara's back and leaning down slightly to allow Akamaru to hop out of her arms. Akamaru whimpered and nuzzled against her leg instead. "G-gomen. I-it's just... can y-you please not touch me?"

Kiba frowned, and Naruto had gotten up and joined him. "Why not Sakura-chan?"

Sakura winced slightly, smiling nervously when Gaara turned his glare towards the two. "None of your business."

Kiba opened his mouth to retaliate, when he got pushed off to the side, ramming into Naruto and sending the two flying down onto the floor. "Obviously, Sakura does not like you two!" Ino sniffed before turning to Sakura ignoring Gaara's glare, as she had experienced similar glares being friends with Sasuke and Neji. "Sakura, let me go introduce you to Hinata!"

The blonde then grabbed Sakura's wrist to drag her away from Gaara.

Sakura grew rigid at the contact, and then everything began to grow fuzzy. She heard a yelp, her yelp, and then fell out cold, collapsing into Gaara's arms.

"SEE INO! YOU MADE HER FAINT!"

TT-TT The chapters seem to shrink and shrink as the story goes by. And this is only the third chapter. Yes, yes, Sakura fainted. If you haven't pieced it together, Sakura doesn't like being touched by other people.

Well... except Gaara. And Temari. And Kankuro. Why is that? That's for me to know and you to find out! Reviews help my motivation!
