Ahhhh wow, I won't lie, I basically forgot about this story until a while ago. 2 years wow. I'm not too happy with a lot of my spelling mistakes I made or a few of the plot developments but I'm far too lazy to change any of it now! One thing I would really like to change though is my ending to the last chapter. WE WILL PRETEND THAT NARUTO DIDN'T MENTION SAKURA AND SASUKE DATING. I'd like to save that for later. Instead he said "Yeah we can't let this bitch win! We need to find a way to really stick it to her!" Ok so if all of you readers are still alive, I'll continue! I really do apologize, it's not fair that I made you wait.

Chapter 7: The F Word

Naruto brought his hand through his blond hair in frustration. It was 1:00 AM for Christ's sake, why was he still up? He glanced at the textbook he had in front of his face. Oh yeah. Despite his speculation about the difficulty of regular school, it was far worse than he had expected. It wasn't so much the subjects that killed him, but the unbelievable busy work that seemed to pile up at the end of each day. His current assignment was to analyze the text from a passage in his world history textbook. Bullshit.

He thought about the training time he had lost today because of this assignment. Bullshit. He thought about the new ramen at Ichiraku's that he wasn't able to try because of this assignment. Bullshit. He thought about his teammates and how they were probably already sound asleep. Fucking Bullshit.

His comrades had done the assignment earlier in the day and cautioned Naruto to do the same. Had he listened? No. Why? Because regular school's homework couldn't be too difficult! He might as well goof around instead! Bad decision.

Naruto's mind wandered to Sakura and the girl who had threatened her. It had been a week since the incident and Sakura had tried to keep her distance except when it was absolutely necessary to talk to Sasuke. Naruto wasn't exactly annoyed by their separation, but Sakura had kept her distance from himself as well.

Naruto had once cared for Sakura as a boy desperate for her love. The childish feelings had all but evaporated, leaving the warmth of a strongly bonded friendship in its wake. One that was being hurt by this Ami Wantanabi.

Bitch.

Seriously though, why should it concern him or any of team seven? She was just some regular girl causing regular drama! Naruto still didn't have a very good feeling about it though. At the moment though, he was too tired to care and stared miserably down at his text book. Due tomorrow means do it tomorrow, fuck yeah. And he promptly fell asleep at the table.

XOXOXOXO

"Third week, here we go!" Sakura screamed at her mirror. She wore her 'normal' clothes and was examining them closely. If it weren't for how uncomfortable they felt, Sakura might have actually considered wearing them outside of school- they didn't look half bad.

She walked down the stairs from her apartment and made her way North towards the high school. A motorcycle sped by as she stepped onto the pavement, scaring the shit out of her.

"Woah, what the FUCK!" She screamed after the motorcyclist, "You're going to fucking kill someone, just be glad I can't run in these pants, faggot!"

The motorcyclist slammed on his breaks and turned the vehicle around slowly, he was about 100 yards from where Sakura stood fuming. The dark helmet glinted maliciously in the sun. Sakura took an unconscious step backwards. Fuuudge.

There are just times when speaking your mind isn't the best option, especially when facing something that could potentially split your body in two. Yep this was definitely one of those times.

The motorcyclist revved the engine twice before zooming towards Sakura. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! She thought as she made an effort to back away from the street. Just as the biker was about to come crashing into her, it stopped quite suddenly.

The biker stepped off of the bike and turned off the ignition. They came in front of a petrified Sakura, standing a head taller than the pink haired girl. Sakura couldn't see into the helmet but knew they weren't a happy camper.

"What did youcall me?" The biker said quietly, their voice slightly muffled by the helmet.

"F-f-f-FAGGOT!" Sakura screamed and booked it down the street.

The biker stared after her in disbelief and remounted the motorcycle. Unbelievable .This isn't over.

XOXOXO

Sakura made it to school ten minutes earlier than planned. Unfortunately, her appearance had paid the price. She walked slowly towards where her friends met before classes in the central courtyard. It was beautifully done, with a large, grassy spread in the middle of the school with shady trees and beautiful flower beds. She followed one of the gravel paths to a group of picnic tables were and spotted Allison and Mike talking with Tenten, Ino, and Kiba.

"Holy shit, Sakura, did you get hit by a bus?" Ino asked, not trying to hide her amusement.

"No, I just thought I'd jog to school!" Sakura said cheerily, while she reflected on her much-more-than-regular sprint to school.

"No offense, Sakura, but you look like shit." Tenten said as she pooled out a hand mirror. Her friends giggled at her appearance.

Sakura's hair was strewn with branches and leaves (she had taken a rout through a forest), her cheeks were still red, and her blouse was disheveled. She quickly removed the debris from her hair and smoothed it out, before straightening her clothes and splashing a little bit of her water bottle contents onto her face.

"Good as new!" Sakura said happily before her face contorted into a scowl "Now lay off." She was not in the mood after biker mcfaggot pants.

"Ahem, ok we should probably head to class now!" Mike said, easing the tension.

Mike, Allison, and Sakura walked to corridor 5, chatting about their homework along the way. When they got in the room, Sakura's eyes fell on her teammates sitting towards the back of the room. They were currently arguing about a pencil and the debate was drawing some attention (more so than normal since it was the two sexy new students).

"Fuck you Sasuke, I just need to borrow it for another 3 minutes! I swear I'll give it back, I just need to finish the fucking homework!" Naruto said as he scribbled down another sentence.

"I swear to God, if I don't get this pencil back, I'll cut your fingers off." Sasuke said, "What happened to the last one I let you borrow?"

"Uhh I think I left it in chemistry?" Naruto said in between writing.

Sasuke looked like he was about to shoot death lasers out of his eyes but resisted the urge to act upon his feelings.

Sakura sat down a few chairs away from the squabbling boys before noticing Sasuke's bag. There was a dark helmet seated on top of his book bag. Fuuudge again.

Just then, Sasuke and Naruto acknowledged Sakura's presence. Naruto gave her a grin and went back to writing furiously. Sasuke looked livid and narrowed his eyes at her.

Sakura almost jumped out the window. She had called Sasuke a faggot. His Ego was far too massive to take the insult in stride, and she knew he'd be out for blood. Fuuudge yet again.

Just as Sakura was contemplating suicide, Kakashi walked in the door. "Good morning, class. I'm sorry for my tardiness, there was this-"

"Shut up, Kakashi, no one believes you!" Naruto yelled from the back of the room.

"Right then. Ok so let's pick up where we last left off shall we? I believe I gave you a text analysis as homework, right?" Kakashi said as his vision zeroed in on the scrambling Naruto. "Hmm hopefully you all DID IT."

Kakashi asked everyone to pass their papers to the front to be collected. It almost looked like he was smiling as he watched Naruto's face whiten at the realization that his assignment wasn't done. Payback's a bitch, Naruto.

The rest of class was spent reading from the textbook and copying quotes for a future assignment. Sakura could nearly fire on the back of her head coming from the Uchiha, but she dared not look. She heard the girly voice of Ami Wantanabi trying to pull Sasuke away from his death glare. She felt the fire evaporate for the time being, but she knew she wasn't in the clear.

Sasuke wasn't a fool though, he knew that staring at Sakura with Ami so close was dangerous for the pink haired girl. He would wait til after class…

XOXOXO

Sakura nearly made it. She had been so close to the end of the corridor, she had nearly blended in perfectly, he had been so close to escaping. But alas, she had found her wrist encased by strong hands, and her body being pulled into an empty classroom. Her chest was currently pressed against the door, her arms firmly held behind her back, and a male figure was nearly suffocating her.

"I'm not saying I'm sorry." She said boldly, turning her head a fraction of an inch to glimpse the cold, red eyes.

"Tch. You said a very… mean thing." Came a rumbling voice that she felt in her chest.

"Get over it!" the words had barely left her lips before she was pressed even harder against the door.

"No." came Sasuke's deep and menacing voice. She was playing with fire (literally) and it was only a matter of time.

But Sakura had become different from the girl Sasuke once new, even more stubborn, and SO NOT OBSESSED WITH SASUKE ANYMORE… totally. She fought his iron grip and tried to bring a leg behind her to kick Sasuke. He caught her leg with one hand, while the other held her wrists behind her back.

"Tch." He brought her body to the floor and pinned her completely, her arms above her head as he straddled her small waist. "Say it."

"Get the fuck off!"

"Say it or I'll kill you."

The threat was so real sounding Sakura almost apologized. She decided to compromise instead. "You first!"

Sasuke stared incredulously and the girl beneath him. He nearly lost his composure "For what?"

"For nearly killing me!" Sakura said angrily, her green eyes glinting with anger up at him.

"You stepped out onto the street without looking; it's not my fault that you were completely unaware of your surroundings!" Sasuke fired back.

"You were going nearly 70 in a 35 zone!" She said as her temper rose quickly. "Only a real faggot would be so completely against following the rules!"

Wait, did that really just come out of her mouth? Fudge fudge fudge fudgely fudgedoo.

Sasuke brought his face so close to Sakura that she felt his breath on her mouth. His eyes were filled with an unspeakable amount of rage as his fingers tightened around her wrists.

If there is a God, please save me now! She thought as Sasuke parted his lips to speak.

RING RING RING

It was the bell that was the beginning of class. Sasuke looked towards the intercom with an annoyed expression. He turned back towards Sakura and glared at her, his red eyes slowly becoming black once again.

"This isn't over." He got off of Sakura and grabbed her by the waist to pull her up. He took her wrist roughly and walked towards the door.

She ripped her wrist from his making Sasuke turn around and narrow his eyes once more at him. "I told you I've changed. I'm not some little girl who gets intimidated just because you're… attractive." She said while making weird hand gestures, "Times have changed."

And with that Sakura slipped by him and disappeared out the door. Less than five seconds later, she was outside of physics class definitely not regular speed but who the fuck cares.

Sasuke appeared behind her, not surprisingly, and they walked in together. Luckily class hadn't begun yet as the teacher was writing equations on the board while the class chattered away.

"Where the fuck were you two?" Naruto huffed when the pair came to sit down next to him.

"Hn." Sasuke said.

"Someone can't handle the truth." Sakura said to Naruto while Sasuke's eyes flashed red once again.

Naruto grinned in understanding. In his notebook he started drawing a pissed off Sasuke turning red with fire coming out of his ears. Sasuke flicked a pen towards Naruto that got lodged in the boy's neck.

"Ok class let's get started…" droned their boring physics teacher.

Naruto started making distressed animal noises.

XOXOXO

The rest of the day was filled with tension as Sasuke continued to send death glares to his pink haired teammate while Sakura ignored him, and occasionally flashed a middle finger when only he could see. By the end of the day, Sasuke's nerves were so grated he thought he was going to strangle her. When school finally ended, Sasuke found his bike in the parking lot and rode to team sevens sparring grounds knowing what he'd find.

In the center of the cleared forest space stood Sakura- already dressed in her ninja attire with her arms crossed. Sasuke stared at her, not fully knowing what her goal was. He slowly made his way towards her, stopping only when he was a foot away from her. He looked down at her eyes which were filled with determination.

"I'm going to prove to you that I'm not a faggot."

Sakura sweat dropped. "you've got to be fucking kidding me." She took a step back, "We aren't going to have se-"

Sasuke was behind her with a kunai to her throat faster than she could blink.

"That's not what I meant!" Sasuke said as the wind churned Sakura's scent around the air. "Let's spar."

"That was what I was hoping you'd say." Sakura said with a glint in her eye as she sent a punch towards Sasuke's gut.

AN: Ok so I realize my writing style has changed A LOT over the past few years, please bear with me, I know it is strange. Anyway, review please! I love to hear feedback and advice, and I promise the next chapters will involve other pairings besides Sasuke and Sakura. And I'm already working on it! Whaaat. I know, it's great. Also! Be on the lookout for a new story! It's set in medieval times and is a lot more serious than this one. I'm sorry I didn't really evolve the plot at all in this chapter, I just kind of wanted to re establish some sort of relationship between Sasuke and Sakura, I felt it was a little confusing! But next chapter, be ready for some French action, huh huh! Oiu oui!

ADIOS!
