The area around them was in ruins. They had discovered that Sakura not only was a good miester but a girl with super strong strength that destroyed everything in her path, including opponents. The battle had last a good fifteen minutes until Sakura said she had enough and struck Blackstar with her bare hands. Stein could have sworn he saw something in the palm of her hand at that second but he wasn't too sure.
"It's over, Blackstar." Sakura stated as she held her katana at his throat while he laid in a crater. He had to admit, he was weak and tired now. She had literally fought him until he had nothing left but he wasn't going to back down he never did.
"You are going to have to kill me to make me quit!" He laughed out loud but his eyes widen in shock when she swung her sword down on him. Before he knew it, he was knocked out by the handle of her Katana. Tsubaki and Shikamaru converted back to their human form. Tsubaki sighed at Blackstar's body while Shikamaru look at the damage around them. He whistled in satisfaction before putting an unlit cigarette in his mouth and shoving his hands back into his pockets.
"Troublesome, he doesn't know when to quit does he." Sakura elbow his side making him wrench slightly in pain. He sent her a glare but she ignored him.
Maka was about to walk up to them until a yellow hair blob ran past her. She watched as the boy tried to tackle her to the ground but Shikamaru had admittedly lashed out his arm to catch the collar of the boys scarf causing him fall back. He groaned softly before getting back on his feet.
"Ow! You didn't need to do that! I just wanted to say hi to Sakura." Naruto practically yelled into Shikamaru's ears. He didn't even flinch. He just grumbled under his breath before turning away from him. "Anyways, Sakura. You won again didn't you?" He watched as she dusted herself off. Maka was surprised to see him. She had only saw him a few times around the building. She stood in front of the three with her hand sticking out for Sakura to shake.
"I'm sorry about his stupidity. He just thinks he can just challenge anyone. I didn't get a chance to tell you but congratulations on joining our team." Maka smiled at her sweetly but before Sakura could do anything Naruto interrupted them like usual.
"Eh? She can't join your team!" Naruto shouted into her ear.
"Naruto! There you a- oh you found Sakura!" A blonde girl came walking out with two black hair boys walking behind her.
"Damn, ugly. You did a number on this place." Sai kicked a piece of rubble that was near his feet. The sound of it skidding down the stairs echoed around them.
"What's going on?" Sasuke pushed Naruto out of the way to get a better look at Sakura. Naruto protest but it was ignored. He crossed his arms and answered his partners question.
"This chick saying that Sakura is apart of their team now." It was like a sour taste in his mouth when he said it. Sakura was a calm and collected person but when she was pissed. Well, she isn't called the feisty sword woman for nothing because she can tolerate only a hand full of people and well, hello, he was part of it. He had to admit, sometimes, he could be a hand full to deal with.
"Hey! I have a name!" Maka shouted back at Naruto but Sasuke then looked at her dead in the eye. His unexpressive face caused her to back away a bit. He looked more intimidating than Stein did when they first met.
"What she can't join you." Sasuke stated as he closed his eyes and crossed his arms.
"I assigned her to them." Stein finally joined in the conversation. Everyone, besides Maka, Sakura, and Shikamaru, looked at him as if he had three heads. Stein eyes narrowed at their reaction.
"Sakura, do you they know?" Ino looked more concerned than anything.
"She hasn't had time to explain anything. She was drag out here to fight." Shikamaru defend her while both Maka and Stien still didn't know what was going on.
"Tell us what?" Maka didn't have patience for this anymore. She wanted an answer immediately.
"She is our team leader." Naruto wrapped his arms around around her while the other nodded in agreement. Stein looked at Sakura who was favoring to look at the ground instead dealing with what was going on.
"You already have a team?" Stein questioned. It was followed by Shikamaru rubbing his left temple and suddening the girl a glare.
"I told you. Look at the trouble you got us into." He then crossed his arms. He really wanted to light his cigarette but he knew if he did. He would be in trouble for doing it on school grounds.
"Oh, Shut up Shikamaru. You just don't want an conflict." Sakura punched his left arm to make it sting. He rubbed it in mild pain.
"Yea, I don't." There where times like these he wished he could flick her but that would result of him getting hurt worst. He decided just to shut up again.
"So, what does that mean?" Maka looked at Stein, who himself, wasn't sure what to do. She looked at the other four who were bricking at each other.
"I do have a question. This is the first time I have seen any of you here, except Sakura and Shikamaru. I have seen you guys rarely. Anyways, why would I believe any of you?" Stein leaned against his chair to see what they would say but a new voice caught his attention.
"Stein can't you leave my kids alone?" His smooth muscular voice eoched through the diaster area.
A/N: They are all about 16 (Expect teachers, age varies). Yes, Shikamaru is a smoker at that age.
