Without Warning

A/N: I apologize for the long time between updates, my net is still off, personal issues but I'm hoping and that is the key word, to have it back up within the next month. Sad that I must come to the library to get online but in either case I should be back in the next two weeks to post another chapter. On the bright side I have plenty of time to work on the fic.Thanks to those that have read and extra thanks to those that reviewed.


Chapter Three


“You might want to soak that leg in hot water.” Kisuke rolled up the last mat and addressed one of his favorite pupils. It was true she wasn’t sporting the awesome body like a few others but she was very dedicated and agile. Which was why he’d chosen her for the duo, she was very good. She and Ino were best friends which meant they’d work well together.


“Hai, I don’t think I slept well last night. Do you mind if I stay for another thirty minutes? I got to call my mom and have her pick me up since Ino hauled ass on me and it’ll take her time to get here.” She wouldn’t hold her friend back and she really needed the practice.


“Oh really, then whose ride is that?” He pointed towards the thick male strolling into the building. His lover had a little bit of extra bulk from homemade cooking but this one was all brick. He’d put the intruder at five-ten but what a bod! After twenty years of admiring the male physique he knew a keeper when he saw it. Broad shoulders, trim waist and thick thighs; the making of a randy lover. “If he’s not yours, I’ll take him.”


“You can have him,” Tenten snapped in annoyance. What the hell was he doing here? And didn’t her sensei have any taste? It made her wonder what he had at home. “You’re too late, Ino left a few minutes ago.”


“And your point? What makes you think I came to see her?” Why did everyone think he was still enthralled with the blonde? The only thing he hadn’t done was sleep with her and now he was glad. No pussy was worth putting up with that dull personality. “Ever thought I’d rather see you?”


“Ever thought that some females actually contain a brain?” She was insulted that he’d suggest such a thing. He’d come too late and had seen her in here. Many an evening she’d watched as he’d greeted her best friend after practice. Had stood back as the two locked faces and made her want to gag. “She isn’t here, she’s off with Naruto.”


“No shit,” he squirmed as the slender grey haired male decided he was something to be stared at. This had to be the queer teacher he’d always managed to avoid until now. No doubt about it, if a girl looked at him like that he would have considered taking her back to his room. “What?”


“Nothing,” Kisuke sighed, the sexy man had an attitude. That was why he was happy with his own boyfriend. Looks weren’t everything and this one obviously only had one good thing going for him. “Pity, but I can see why she doesn’t like you.”


“Because I don’t do assholes.” Tenten reached for her bag and searched for her cell phone. She should have called her mother a while back then she wouldn’t have to wait now. Not to mention he was Ino’s ex and she wouldn’t go there. It didn’t matter how nice he looked in those jeans or how that cotton shirt clung to an impressive chest.


“Well, I don’t know about that. Usually the assholes are worth fucking, just not keeping.” Kisuke might be tempted to give him a spin but the searing look said it wouldn’t be happening. “Okay, I know when I’m not wanted. Sweety, I’ll be in my office so let me know when your ride gets here.”


“I can give you a ride,” Kankuro wanted to run out of the room. That dude was seriously creeping him out. He might consider giving the girl a ride but he didn’t do male. If he did a reach-around he better find clit not stick.


“I’m not sure if I want to take you up on that offer. You really aren’t my type.” Tenten giggled as her sensei gave her a knowing look. “Alright but only because I’m holding him up.”


“Good,” as long as he got away from that penetrating stare. If she hurried her ass up he might forgive her for standing him up today. His plans to go out with Gaara had been cancelled in order to be home. His brother had merely shrugged before leaving the house.


She shoved her phone back in the bag and hoped he didn’t mind that she was sweaty and in dire need of a shower. Not to mention she had to look atrocious but it was only a ride home. He was probably going to blast her for not showing up today. “Sorry about today. I forgot that the tryouts were going to be today so when Ino called and asked me to practice with her before hand I couldn’t say no.”


“No problem, I love wasting my time.” He held the door to allow the girl to exit into the dying sun. He wasn’t really that angry; anymore. It was the first time a girl had stood him up in some way. “You could have called.”


“How? It’s not like I have your number. Unless you expected me to drive by the high school and get the ones off of the bathroom wall,” she snapped knowing she was partly guilty for his wasted evening. There had been time to drive by and inform him but she hadn’t wanted to see him.


“Good point, we’ll have to remedy that. Give me your phone.” He held out his hand and waited for the small device. This way she couldn’t claim to have lost it. Seeing he wasn’t going to budge on the matter, she slapped it in his palm. Just to be on the safe side he added his cell and home number. “There, now you have no excuse. Hmm, who else do you have in here?”


“None of your damn business.” She snatched it back and almost cried out in surprise when large fingers clamped shut over her own. Wanting to hide the fact that she only had a few other numbers in there, she’d reached for it in haste. So what if she didn’t have much of a social life, she was happy with how things were. Long, warm fingers had hers pinned and the slightest movement sent a shiver up her arm. “Can I have my phone back?”


“Maybe,” he noticed the slight tremor that went through her when he caressed a knuckle. Was it fear or something else? There was a good possibility that it was revulsion. They had never really interacted with each other. The girl did have dainty hands, much different from all his other exes. He hated a chick that had talons instead of fingernails. There was a difference between having your back scratched and shredded. Hers weren’t short from the nasty habit of being chewed but trimmed neatly.


“I highly doubt the few people I have listed want to hear from you.” Dammit, she wanted her phone back. There was only one other guy listed in there now besides him. She’d gotten the number from Hinata but had never gathered the courage to dial it. “Please, let go.”


“Fine, but you owe me.” He released her fingers. No longer holding onto her hand he did the next best thing and eyed the outfit. The shirt was nothing but a halter-top meant to bind her breasts down. The shorts were cotton but skimpy, he assumed to easily move in. “I would tell you to have dinner with me but I don’t think I’m in the mood to watch other men ogle you.”


“Was that a compliment?” She was so not going to blush! Just because he could acknowledge that another man might find her attractive didn’t mean he did. Her clothes weren’t meant to go out in public in but to work out in.


“Maybe,” he’d admit that the shorts showed off the small but firm ass. It wasn’t the round backside he usually preferred but it was rather cute. Not to mention he could make out the slight indication of nipple. “Don’t let it go to your head, you still have small tits.”


“Why thank you, your ass isn’t that bad either. Shame, that I’ve heard the same about your dick.” She beamed as the pink flush crept into his cheeks. Was it because the mark had hit home or because she was the one saying it? Ino had said the two had never slept together but there were ways of guessing the size without going all the way, wasn’t there?


“You know if I was really concerned about whether or not you believed everything your friend said, I’d show it to you. But since I don’t care what you believe and the size of my dick is in no way going to impact upon our current relationship, I will cease from doing so. Now, go get your ass in my truck before I can no longer resist the urge to run your boney ass over.” He pointed towards the old blue Ford truck sitting in the parking lot.


“Oh my, aren’t we testy.” She had ridden in his motorvehiHELL on several occasions and wasn’t looking forward to it. What was really making her hesitate was she had trouble getting into it. The last time she’d climbed into the cab his younger brother had been with them and had boosted her up without her consent. Having foreign hands on her butt had shocked her enough she’d jumped up to boost her lift.


“Come on, I’m not going to bite.” Kankuro led the frigid girl towards the passenger door. It wasn’t an expensive vehicle but it was paid for and his. The door creaked as it opened and he stepped aside. “After you.”


“Okay,” she could do this, she was limber. Why the hell did he have to have a big truck? Did it make him feel
manly or was he compensating for something? Her bag was tossed to the floorboard and she reached to grab the seat and door. Bringing her foot up reminded her of the cramped muscle. It would take pulling up to get inside, “HEY!”


“I don’t have all day,” he shouted at an impressive view. She’d just been standing there staring into space. Giving her a boost was the right thing to do, it wasn’t his fault she was short. “Oh, it’s soft.”


“Go to hell,” she slapped at the hands resting on her ass. He might have a cute laugh but he had some nerve, it must run in the family. Sliding across the leather seat she decided to sit near the window. There was no way she was sitting next to him, that was Ino’s spot, or it had been. This was where she’d sat before and it was just fine with her.


“You might want to put on the seatbelt.” Only a few things could slam into them and cause massive damage but he’d feel bad if he had to slam on the brakes and she went through the windshield. It would just give Ino another reason to talk bad about him. “So how are things going between you and this guy?”


“Shitty,” she caught herself but it was too late. She’d been trying to relax as he started the loud engine. Praying he hadn’t heard was short lived hearing the chuckle. He’d heard, “don’t laugh at me. You know not all of us have it easy.”


“Easy? And I was laughing because I got you to slip and admit to it. I knew there was a reason for the change.” The truck shot across the parking lot and onto the paved street. He could vaguely remember where she lived; it was down the street from Ino’s house. It was a better neighborhood than his own but his family wasn’t as well off. “Who ever said I had it easy?”


“Who said I was referring to you?” She felt stupid for slipping up. Not only did she admit that she liked someone but he now knew she was failing at getting him. If only she had Ino’s hair or tits then she might feel more confident. “But you have it easier than most of us. I can’t for the life of me imagine why you have so many girls hitting on you but I’ll admit I’ve yet to see you without one.”


“Heh, if you want I can show you why.” That got a reaction and he was glad looks couldn’t kill. “Okay, that was uncalled for but not untrue. Most of the girls you see around me do so because of the type of girls they are. I don’t date any of them seriously.”


“So you really are a male slut.” She should have known. Despite some of the talk Ino had tried to spread about him, there was also talk of him being great in bed. If he sucked she was sure they wouldn’t go running back for more.


“Call it what you want but I’m not the one spending my nights alone.” He snapped, the insult rankled and he wasn’t sure why. His after-hour activities had never bothered him before, it was just sex. He wasn’t an idiot either, he wore protection every time. The last thing he wanted was a kid or something even more permanent.


“I’d rather spend my nights alone than with someone that is just with me for five minutes of sweaty sex.” Tenten wasn’t going to explain her morals to him. She was sure if she sent out a signal that she was a free and easy piece then her calendar would have some dates circled but she wasn’t that kind of girl.


“Five minutes, who the hell have you been fucking?” He couldn’t believe that girls were still spreading that shit. If a guy was excited enough he might be done that soon but what fun was only indulging for a few minutes?


“Ugh, you are such a pig.” She was debating on jumping out at the next light. Did he think she was one of those girls he took home on a daily basis? “Do you think the only thing a girl is good for is a quick lay?”


“No, I don’t see you like that.” Which was the truth; he wasn’t sure how he saw her. He still had her in the category as being the friend of his ex. When he looked at her it wasn’t like looking at one of his usual companions. OH, he could definitely get hard and show her a good time but the thought to try and bang her wasn’t foremost in his mind. “You’re more like the brainy chick I need to help me with my homework.”


“Screw you,” now he was saying she wasn’t the type of chick a guy would want to get with but BUT…… what the hell was he saying? That the reason Neji wasn’t interested was because all she was good for is her brain? He could have a point because Neji was even more brilliant than her, so what could she offer him if she wasn’t appealing sexually?


“Again with the offers, are you trying to get me to change my mind?” The pink flush to her cheeks was adorable and he had the urge to run a hand over the smooth surface. “What’s the big deal anyways? Are you having trouble getting this guy?”


“I think I’ve already stated that factor.” She wasn’t having trouble she’d slammed headfirst into a dead end. “Why should I tell you? Are you going to give me a few pointers on how to get him in bed?”


“No,” fuck that! Why the hell would he try to help her score with another guy? The dejected look made him wonder just who the hell the guy was. “You can’t be having that much trouble. Is he already seeing someone?”


“Yes, as a matter of fact he is. And before you ask she’s tall, slender, has tits that would make Ino cry and he obviously likes her.” Tenten could just picture the freckled face bimbo and wanted to grind her teeth together and start swearing.


“Okay, what else?” He turned into her neighborhood but drove slow. He was interested in what she was trying to accomplish. “The height of the chick only depends on the guy. I prefer a woman with meat on her bones and tits aren’t everything.”


“This coming from the guy who bases everything on breast size. Don’t try to patronize me.” She pointed to her house, “I know what I’m lacking and I can’t change that. I’ve been trying for a while now and nothing has changed. So if you don’t have any life changing words of wisdom I’m going to go inside and hit the shower.”


“Alright, I’ll see you in class.” He put the truck in park and waited for her to get out. Dammit, he was dying to know who the guy was. He cleared his throat as she started to close the door. “You really shouldn’t be too hard on yourself. Tits aside, your ass isn’t half bad.”



“This is so good,” Ino was in heaven as the cheese oozed in a greasy mass on her tongue. This was so much better than fried liver. She felt somewhat guilty knowing she’d left her friend there to deal with Kankuro but this was an extra loaded meat pizza!


“I think you’re the only one that hasn’t bitched about my choice yet.” Naruto watched her take another large bite of the dripping pie and smirked. Most of his friends complained that he over-killed it with toppings. He couldn’t stand just eating bread and cheese.


“So good, you can take me out to dinner anytime.” Ino took a sip of the soft drink and had to suppress a burp. “So, do you want to talk about homework or something else?”


“Something else,” he put his slice down. “I’ve thought about what you said and I’ll do it. As long as it’s nothing to hurt her, I’m not that selfish. I’m not sure what we can do but I’ll hear you out.”


“Great, I was just thinking about starting a few fights and small things. Don’t worry I won’t go as far as to run her over to make him single.” Ino took another bite and chewed while thinking. “I have this one idea already. I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’m not the only girl that is envious of Sakura.”


“If you mean am I aware of his fan club? Then yes, I know that half the females want him. What I don’t get, is why in the hell is the ass so popular? I mean he’s got serious issues. He doesn’t smile, he doesn’t laugh, he’s always frowning and he’s stuck on himself.”


“He does smile, I’ve heard him laugh and he’s frowning because of who he has for a girlfriend. Sasuke is not stuck on himself he’s just very confident. I mean look at him, he’s hot, rich, has these bedroom eyes that can make a girl melt. Every girl wants a guy that’s calm, collected and cute. The three C’s are very important.” Ino couldn’t believe that he didn’t know this. “No girl wants a guy that is never serious. If he can’t be serious about everyday life then can he be serious about the relationship he’s in?”


“Are you referring to someone like me?” Naruto narrowed his eyes at the guilty flush. “Are you trying to say that I’m not serious enough? Is there a problem with me being easy going or out going? Do I need to turn into an asshole for a girl to like me?”


“I didn’t say that,” Okay, she had in a way. Ino didn’t want to start a fight or have him upset with her. “Sorry, maybe I’m projecting my tastes onto others. Obviously we have different tastes and don’t like the same things. I mean you are the complete opposite of what I want. And since you like Sakura, I can clearly say that I am the complete opposite of your tastes. I mean I have the body of a female, I have a personality, I don’t have a gigantic forehead and my breath doesn’t smell.”


“I’ll have you know Sakura has some very good qualities and I think it’s what Sasuke sees in her too, which might explain why he chose her over you, since you lack them.” Naruto couldn’t believe she was insulting Sakura like that. “Sakura is very intelligent, she has a very nice figure even if it isn’t as busty as yours, she has a wonderful sense of humor and she has a smile that makes a man want to do anything for her.”


“Wait, are you calling me stupid?” Ino overlooked the other so-called features that made Sakura better than herself, at least in Naruto’s eyes. What did she care if he found her lacking? “Fine, whatever, I don’t need your approval, just your help.”


“So tell me this great plan you’ve come up with.” He felt he’d said something he shouldn’t have. Honestly he found nothing wrong with Ino’s looks or her personality. True she wasn’t the brightest light bulb in the pack but neither was he.


“I got a few names here of girls that have been rather direct in their attempts at stealing Sasuke away. I think our first step should be to cause a little distrust. Sakura has to be aware of the many that want to take her place. So, tomorrow at school I’m going to slip a note in his locker. She always goes with him to it as soon as the last bell rings. Mr. Shiro always has me take the attendance list to the office ten minutes before the last bell. So that’ll give me a chance to slip it in without being seen.”


“Okay, so you’re going to slip him a note.” Naruto didn’t see the wisdom in it. “But I’m sure it’s not going to be the first note he’s received since he’s been dating her. As you pointed out there are many girls that like him.”


“I know that silly, this is the first step. The point being it’s going to be something sweet like; ‘Thank you, you made me feel really special.’ Cryptic enough it will leave Sakura wondering. I’m sure she’s used to the begging letters or the confessions. This will throw her off and it’s just a start.”


“Okay, I’ll take your word for it since you’re a girl too.” Naruto wasn’t so sure but what did he know? He’d only been in one relationship and that had been with Hinata. That’s if he didn’t count the girl that once babysat him. That hadn’t been a relationship but an introduction to sex.


“It will have the impact we desire, trust me.” Ino could imagine the look on her nemesis’s face when it was read. Being a girl Sakura would snatch the letter up to see what the latest threat had to say. It wouldn’t be a request to date or a declaration of love but a thank you. That one sentence would indicate that Sasuke had done something special and sweet for another girl. Of course he would deny it and that would implant doubt in Sakura’s mind. She was a genius.

Please read and review. If there is any mistakes I am so sorry and will fix as soon as I can. This was edited in a hurry.
