~Chapter 18; Explanations~

 

Gaara opened the door to his room a crack. He peeked in and noticed that the room was dark. He breathed a sigh of relief. If Naruto found out a girl had to stay in our dorm he'd get all excited and want to party like it was a slumber party or something, and Sasuke probably wouldn't hesitate to tell their dorm advisor. He slowly opened the door the rest of the way. He stepped aside and she got the idea to be quiet. He closed the door behind them and both creeped down the hall, to his room. He opened his door and Naruto's flung open. Without thinking Gaara shoved Asuka in his room and slammed the door shut. “Gaara! You're finally home! C'mon! Spill! What happened?! I mean it's 10 o'clock!” Naruto shouted rapidly while bouncing up and down. All his ranting woke Sasuke and coolly strolled into the hall.

 

“What's going on? You woke me up dobe.” Sasuke glared at both boys. Then he heard shuffling in Gaara's room. “What are hiding Sabuko?” He accused with another glare.

 

Gaara visibly paled. His color quickly returned with the anger arose. “What are you talking about Uchiha?” He glared back. Asuka listened intently with her ear to the door. She knew exactly why Gaara was trying to hide her and if anyone found her, she would rather it NOT be Sasuke. Especially since what happened earlier. [Chapter 14] She started to get nervous when she heard someone walking closer. She panicked and darted away from the door. She looked around frantically for a place to hide. She saw a small closet and immediately his in it. She closed the door to the closet just as the one to the bedroom opened. Gaara quickly glanced around over Sasuke's shoulder and was relieved to see that she had hid. “See, I told you. I'm not hiding anything.” Gaara said evilly, anger seeping from his voice.

 

Sasuke persisted into the room. He walked around and was standing in front of the closet. Asuka shut her eyes and waited for him to open the door. Naruto stayed by the door, somehow he knew what was going on and wanted to stay out of it. He then remembered something and darted into his room, that just happened to be next to Gaara's. He walked over to his closet and opened it. He opened the smaller door in the back of his closet and there was Asuka, She fell backwards but Naruto caught her. Preventing any noise. He quickly pulled her out of both closets and shut both doors. He helped her up. “Quick. Sasuke is gunna look in here afterwards so I need to hide you and FAST!” He said quickly. He looked around quickly and his gaze stopped on the space between the floor and the bed. It was kinda small. He then looked her up and down. [Not that way you pervs…] “You're small enough, I think you can fit under the bed. Try.” He said pointing to the bed. She nodded and darted under. She fit perfectly. Satisfied, Naruto left the room to the spot he had abandoned earlier. Sure he didn't want to get involved but he had to. Asuka knew she had to be quiet so she stayed motionless and kept her breathing light.

 

Sasuke opened the door to the closet and glared at the space that only clothes and a box or two, inhabited. He whipped around. “Where is she?” He asked accusingly.

Gaara glared at him. “Who?” He asked smartly. Sasuke looked back at the closet and noticed a faint outline of a square. He smirked and walked into Naruto's room. A blanket had been draped over the side of the bed, making the girl hidden underneath, unnoticeable.

 

“Where'd you hide her Naruto?” Sasuke asked looking around quickly. Naruto looked at him.

 

“Who?”

 

“Fine. Neither of you want to talk, I'll just find her myself.” Sasuke walked to the closet first and whipped it open quickly. Nothing. He walked around the room checking various spots. Then he glanced at the bed. He went over her figure in his mind. Somehow he knew who Gaara and Naruto were trying to hide. And he knew she would fit underneath the small bed. He quietly walked over to it. Naruto visibly paled. Gaara noticed this and immediately knew that he had hidden her under the bed. Gaara made a move to stop him but it was too late. Sasuke darted his arm under the bed and jerked her out. She slid on the wooden floor, out from under the bed. He had surprised her since she didn't hear him and now they were face to face. He yanked her to her feet and started to try to walk out of the room. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape from the vice grip he had on her wrist.

 

“Where do you think you're going?” Gaara asked angrily, standing in front of him to block his path.

 

“I'm taking her to my room.” He said bluntly.

 

“Oh, no you're not.” Gaara made a grab for her but missed.

 

Sasuke smirked. “If she doesn't spend the night in my room than I will report her to the dorm advisor. That IS why you were trying to hide her from me isn't it? Besides, I'm not going to do anything to her.” He said bluntly.

 

Gaara growled low in his throaght as Sasuke dragged her into his room. He locked the door and let her wrist go. “Humph! Why in hell do you want me in here with you?! I'm not doing anything with you!” She sneered while crossing her arms.

 

“I need to talk to you.” She looked at him weirdly.

 

“And you expect me to believe that?”

 

“Yes, actually.” He sat on his bed. “Sit.”

 

She glared at him. She sat down on the floor. “What?”

 

“I just need to talk to you. Now sit up here.” He said, crossing his arms.

 

She growled. She sat up and sat as far away from him as possible on the bed. “What?”

 

[OOC warning]

“Listen, I'm sorry for what happened earlier today. If you'll let me, I'll explain why I acted the way I did.” He looked at her, waiting for an answer.

 

She looked thoughtful for a moment. “Fine.”

 

“Ok, I needed something to tell Ino and Sakura to make them leave me alone. The first thing that popped into my head was that I could say that I already had a girlfriend. The only girl that I actually liked like that was you. That's why I said you were my girlfriend.” He explained. She could tell he was telling the truth.

 

“But, that doesn't explain why you were acting the way you were in the hallway.” She said a little more easily. `Wait… did he admit that he liked me? He did! He said `The only girl I actually liked like that was you.' Oh god. What am I going to do?!' She thought in slight panic.

 

“Sakura and Ino were right behind us, I had to keep the impression up that we were going out.”

 

“And in the classroom?”

 

“I was waiting for them to walk by. When they walked by, I let you go.” He explained in boredom.

 

“Ok. So what do you want me to do?” She asked putting her hands up and shrugging. She forgave him for acting like a dumb fuck but she didn't know what exactly, he wanted her to do.

 

“I need you to play the role of my girlfriend.” He said seriously.

 

“What?!” She shrieked. “I thought you already convinced them!” She complained in surprise.

 

“No I didn't. they're gunna watch my every move and if they get some kind of hint that I'm lying, they're gunna be all over me again. I need a brake!” He said seriously. “They're girls! I can't beat em up!”

 

“Look, this is making it VERY complicated.”

 

“What is?”

 

“I already have a boyfriend. I just became his girlfriend a few hours ago, I liked him when you did that in the hall so that's why I kept complaining because I he had asked me to go on a date with him the night before. I was afraid he would see and think I was trying to go out with BOTH of you.”

 

“Oh. Well, what if you get permission from him? It's not like it's a real relationship… no matter how much I want it to be.” He mumbled the last part.

 

“What?”

 

“Nothing.”

 

“Ok… well, I'll call him in here and ask him. I mean, I'm helping a friend.”

 

“So you forgive me?”

 

She nodded with a smile. “Mmhm!” She walked over to the door of his bedroom and went into the hallway. Gaara and Naruto rushed over.

“What happened?!” Naruto asked worriedly.

 

“Are you ok?” Gaara asked.

 

“I'm fine, I'm fine. Nothing happened. Listen, Gaara. He really DID just want to talk to me. He's asking for my help. But it's a situation I want your permission for.” She said truthfully.

 

“Aw, I feel left out.” Naruto said dejectedly.

 

Asuka rummaged through her perse and pulled out some money. She handed it to Naruto. “This school has a small ramen restaurant down the hallway. It's open 24 hours. Go on and get something to eat.” She said happily.

 

Naruto's face brightened. “Alright! You rock!” Naruto crushed her in a friendly hug, then darted out the door.

 

“Is there really a ramen restaurant down there?”

 

“Yeah. Now c'mon.” Asuka grabbed his hand and walked back into Sasuke's room. “Can you explain what the situation is to him again?”

 

Sasuke looked up and almost fell off the bed in surprise. `SABUKO is her BOYFRIEND?!'
