Sakura's POV
I opened my eyes as I felt something fluffy rub against the side of my face. Looking to my right I saw an all white furball I call my pokemon, impatiently about to jump to wake me up. When it made the leap I reached out and stopped it mid air and brought it down to give it a kiss.
"Good morning Yuki sleep well my dear?"
"Vee, eevee."
"It's only 6:00 in the morning, we have plenty of time to go see Tsunade," I told Yuki before setting her down and slowly got out of my bed.
It took me a minute of sitting there until it hit me why I was going to see Tsunade my towns pokemon professor. Today was the day I turn 15 which means I get to start my pokemon journey. With that in mind I rushed to my bathroom, but not before getting my outfit I set out the day before and hopped in the shower. As I let the water run to the right temperature, I thought of my best friends who I haven't seen in person for two years now.
Flashback
I was 5 and living in Konoha when I was at the park playing by myself, because nobody wanted to play with me. The local kids made fun of my unnatural hair color and huge forehead, so I mostly just played on the swings and waited for my brother to come and get me. One day I saw a blonde hair boy with his hair spiked up all around and a dark haired boy with his hair spiked up in the back like a ducks behind. They were being walked by someone I knew as Itachi who was my brothers friend, he seemed to notice me too since he smiled and started walking over.
"Sakura why are you here by yourself?"
"Good morning Itachi-san, I'm just waiting for my brother to finish his errands for the day."
"Aww Sasori he can take hours, why don't you play with the other kids to pass time?"
"Well, They don't want to play with a freak like me, so I stay and play by myself."
"Well that won't do, who won't play with a beautiful cherry blossom like you," He said to me making me blush slightly.
"How about this, Sakura the dark one is my little brother Sasuke and the dorky looking one is his friend Naruto."
"Hey!"
"Anyways, I hope you don't mind if they can play with you while I help speed up Sasori's errands."
"That's fine Itachi-san, Have a good day."
"Bye Sakura and Sasuke and Naruto," and with that he started walking away and I was left with two quiet boys.
"Your name's Sakura huh, well I'm Naruto, BELIEVE IT!" He shouted out the last part with a huge smile on his face.
"You don't have to scream it idiot she's right here."
"Shut up Sasuke, At least I'm not an emo loser like you."
"What you say Dope."
"TEME!"
"Umm, guys I don't think…" but before I could finish my sentence they started wrestling each other on the ground.
"Stop boys what are you doing!" I shouted out to them.
All they managed to do though was let out grunts and moans of pain. Not knowing what to do, I tried pulling them apart only to get caught in the midst of it.
"Hey let me go dummies!" I shouted out towards them since they were reaching over me to get to each other. With new found strength I grabbed both of their shirts and pushed them away so I could stand up.
"Now we're gonna do this, Naruto you sit on my swing and sasuke sit on the other side a seat away from him."
"Why should we listen to you?"
"Cause Sasuke, if you don't what would your brother think about you guys hitting each other."
"Leave my brother out of this," he said before sitting on a swing one away from Naruto. I sat in the middle between them to prevent them from going after one another again.
End of Flashback
I was brought out of my short flashback by the scratching at my bathroom door and impatient whining. I got out of the shower and continued by brushing my teeth and getting dressed and do my hair. I stood in front of my long mirror and did a quick twirl to see my outfit for my big day and it was amazing if I say so. I have on a black tank top blouse with white polka-dots, my red skirt that goes above my knee, black knee high stockings and my red shoes to match. My pink hair is long and wavy reaching down to my lower back and I knew it was time to go.
I opened my bathroom door to see my beautiful shiny eevee jump up and down repeatedly while running to my bedroom door waiting for me to open it.
"Seems your more excited than me Yuki."
We both walked into the kitchen too see Sasori in a pink apron making breakfast, I looked and bowed to our parents picture saying good morning before sitting down on our table.
"Vee, vee."
"Morning Yuki got some nice bacon and sausage for you honey and Sakura yours is ready as well with some waffles on the side."
"Your my favorite brother ever."
"I'm your only brother, but today is your big day how are you feeling."
"Excited, Yuki more than me, but I wished I could have started with the boys as we all talked about."
"I know, but since the accident and us moving to Suna, it would be impossible right now for you all to go together. With each of you living in different towns, you will get different starters and everything."
"I know, I just miss them is all, we talked and video chatted all the time, but its not the same."
"Well I know your gonna call before you all start your journey, but if mom and dad were here they would be so proud of you."
"Thanks for everything, I love you."
"Love you too, now finish eating so each of you can phone one another and start your journey via video."
"Will do, come on Yuki finish so we can call Naruto and Sasuke."
"Eevee, vee."
My eevee and me finished eating and rushed to gather all our things, but before i went out the door I gave my brother a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving. I got outside and thanked all that is good in the world, the weather wasn't burning today, its still hot but not as bad as it usually gets in Suna. I continue walking to the pokemon lab and my mind wonders to the moment we all met.
Flashback
"Now we're all gonna swing with each other and not fight okay."
"But the teme..."
"I said no fighting Naruto."
"Hn."
"I'm gonna take that as a yes Sasuke."
And with that being settled we all started swinging and it was fun in the beginning until the two found a way to make it into a competition. I just stopped and put my hands over my face and sighed as the two decide who could swing higher than the other.
"Sakura look I'm higher than teme."
"As if dope, i'm much higher that you."
"Lets let Sakura decide who is better than"
"Fine."
"You both are going to high, come back down before you both fall."
"We're fine," Sasuke said before he managed to fall off since he lost his grip on the swing. I felt my eyes go so wide they were gonna fall out and I looked slightly to my left and saw Naruto jump off and reached for Sasuke.
"SASUKE!"
"AHHHHHH."
Of course I got off my swing and screamed while covering my eyes, not wanting to see the others go flat. I heard grunts of pain and moans and I swear I heard someone scream like a girl. I opened my eyes to see Naruto face first in the sand and Sasuke the same with only being a few inches away from each other.
"Teme, I couldn't save you."
"Dope how could you just jump off, you would never have been able to catch me."
"This is the thanks I get, I should have just let you go splat."
"I'm already flat and so are you."
"YOU IDIOTS, YOUR ARGUING NOW WHILE YOU BOTH ARE HURT. WHAT WILL ITACHI SAY WHEN HE SEES YOU BOTH ARE BRUISED UP."
"Sakura..."
"No Naruto not another word, both of you sit up I brought a first aid kit with me for accidents like this."
"Why are you ordering us around."
"Sorry do you both want to continue bleeding than please let me know so I can go back minding my own business."
"Hn."
I went to the side of the swing set and grabbed my red ladybug backpack that had everything I needed that Sasori packed for me. I walked back to the boys and sat down in front of them while going through my bag to find my medical needs. Naruto and Sasuke sat there trying not to cry, but I knew if I wasn't here and no one was looking they probably would. With the box in my hands I pulled it out and opened it finding alcohol wipes and band-aids. I treated Naruto first and he managed to wiggle and cry out through out the process, but when I got close to his face to clean the cut on his forehead, I saw his face go pink. I did the same with Sasuke, and at least he managed to sit still, but he continued to grimace every time I went over a cut. I put the band-aids I had on the cuts to stop bleeding and I put my supplies away and smiled at them both.
"Now your both healed up better than before, but lets just play in the sandbox for the rest of the day."
"Thanks Sakura, I wished we had you all the time since we both end up getting hurt."
"Thanks to your stupid ideas."
"But you follow them do you not."
Sasuke just pouted and looked away and I ended up giggling at their antics.
"I wish we could play together again soon."
"Of course Sakura, I'll come see you everyday since your my new friend."
"Really Naruto."
"Even Sasuke will be there right."
"Whatever," he said before looking away once again."
And I smiled for the first time since I've been at this park and laughed as I realized I made some new friends.
End of Flashback
"Vee."
"Sorry Yuki lost in my memories, lets call the others and see how your brothers are."
I let Yuki jump on my shoulder as I dialed the group chat I made with my friends to keep in contact. I stopped at a bench and waited for either one to pick up.
"Sakura hey."
"Hey Sasuke, morning how are you?"
"On my way to see professor Iruka and you?"
"On my way to see Tsunade."
"Eevee."
"Vee."
"Hello Toa, your sister misses you," I told the white color eevee on Sasuke's shoulder.
"Veeeeeeeeeee," he dragged on before giving a quick kiss on the screen which Yuki returned.
*Ding,Ding,Ding*
"I'll except Naruto's call," He told me and a few seconds later his face popped on my phone screen and he was grinning so big with his own white colored eevee sitting atop his head.
"HEEYYYYY EVERYONE!"
"Naruto you don't need to shout."
"Haha sorry Sakura."
"EEVEE!" Naruto's pokemon said in glee jumping towards it and knocking the phone and Naruto down.
"Fuyu, stop you can say hi to the others, but not if you break my phone." Yuki and Toa both put their heads down with sweat drops appearing out of nowhere.
"Anyways Iruka and and Granny said they have a surprise for us, are you excited."
"Wait really and don't call Tsunade granny, you know she hates that."
"Ahhh she like it Sakura don't worry."
"Wait what surprise."
"Oh right sorry Sasuke I forgot to tell you both yesterday, but Iruka told me while we were eating ramen that they had a good surprise waiting for us today, but he won't tell me what."
"Well even though were not together in person, lets do this together anyway we won't hang up until we step one foot out of our towns agreed."
"Agreed."
any with that last statement we all walked to our towns pokemon lab awaiting our starters and beginning our pokemon journey.
