This Prologue/Chapter is made from the beginning of episode 1 and most of episode 3. The diologue is different and it is completely in Sakura's perspective. Although this is basically a copy of parts of the episodes, sooner chapters will be made by myself without episode help. I will make things a bit different so there is actually a point in reading this instead of watching the episodes. Please review this. For the fanfictions that I made that actually got reviews, they got hardly any. Thanks!

Sakura's Teammate

Prologue

Long ago, a demon fox with nine tails existed. When a tail was swung, it would destroy a mountain and cause a tsunami. To counter it, the people gathered ninjas.

Though many yearned for it to end, they held up and waited for the fourth Hokage. The Hokage sealed the monster away in a life or death battle, and died.

But the monster isn't gone. It was tucked away in an infant's body, suppressed only by the fourth Hokage's seal.

Sakura's Teammate

Chapter 1

Take That, Ino Pig!

"Sakura!" a voice rang out. "Shouldn't you be leaving now?"

"I was about to go!" I screamed. Why do moms have to ruin everything? I needed to look my best before I sat next to Sasuke! Couldn't she understand that?

After a quick breakfast, I grudgingly took a walk to my Ninja Explanatory Meeting. At least there was a bright side to this day. Today I was one of Konoha's Kuniochi, Sakura Haruno.

"I'm going!" But today was still going to be pretty bad. Ino, one of my many rivals(we fight over Sasuke all the time, but I know I'm going to win), thought she was so pretty with her blonde hair and her normal sized forehead, but there's no way that she's going to sit next to Sasuke at the meeting. I won't allow it. She looks at me and smirks. "Good morning. . .Sakura," she says, saying my name like it's a disgusting bug.

"Good morning, Ino," I scowl at her. She thinks she's so perfect. I could go on and on about all the horrible things about her, and she would say worse things about me(that are lies, of course).

I try to walk past her, but she starts walking with me. If she's after my Sasuke, then she's going to have to try harder!

"I'm surprised you graduated," she says calmly, like she doesn't even care how that sentence hurt me(not that it did, it did not hurt at all).

"The past doesn't matter anymore," I said, trying not to lose my temper. "Starting today, we are both ninjas." I look at her with deadly green eyes. "I'm not going to lose to you anymore, Ino."

I start to walk ahead of her. She glares at me and walks even faster. I walk about six feet in front of her. She walks at my level. I walk faster. Now we're both running. There's no way that she's steeling my seat with Sasuke! Now we're racing through the halls. She still thinks she can beat me. Just. . .a bit. . .farther!

Breathing hard, we push ourselves into the meeting room, stretch our hands out wide, and shout, "Goal!" at he exact same time.

"I win again, Sakura," Ino tells me. As if!

"What are you talking about?" I counteract. "My toe entered the class before yours by at least a centimeter!"

"Are you blind?" Instead of arguing with Ino, I look over, and there he is. Sasuke Uchiha- the cutest boy in the world. I blush and rush over next to his seat.

"Good morning, Sakura," says that stupid Naruto. If blonds are stupid, then Naruto proves it, because he's the dumbest, most immature kid who ever lived on the face of the planet.

"Get out of my way!" I push him out of the way and blush. "Good morning, Sasuke!" He tilts his head. "Can I sit next to you?"

"I'm going to sit next to him," Ino walks up and pulls me away.

"First come, first serve," I growl.

"I came in the classroom before you!" she insists.

"I did!"

"That's not the case, I did!"

"I was first!"

"I'm going to sit next to Sasuke!"

Naruto gets up and glares at Sasuke. How could he? Naruto's getting his dumbness all over Sasuke! "Naruto!" I shout. "Stop glaring at Sasuke!"

"Sasuke!" All the girls(including me) chant. "Beat him up!"

Then, a boy knocks Naruto forward and. . .and. . .DAMN IT, NARUTO! I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SASUKE'S FIRST KISS! They both put their hands on their throats and still their tongues out, trying to get each other's germs out of their mouths.

"Naruto I'm going to kill you," ("Is it my fault?" the surprised boy asks) Naruto turns and looks at us. "Naruto. . .You. . ." I say.

"It was an accident!" he frantically says, holding his hands up.

I crack my knuckles with a dark look on my face. "Your annoying."

"Starting today your official ninja's, but. . ." Iruka sensai comes in afterwards, and not only is Naruto beat up (to my pleasure), but I am also sitting next to Sasuke! "Your are still new Genins. It's going to be harder from here. You will be in a group of three where you will accomplish missions under a Jounin teachers." A group of three?

"I wonder who's going to be on Sasuke's team," Ino acts like she already knows.

"I don't know," I say almost calmly, but I can feel the tension build between us. I'm going to be the one on the same team as him! She should just give up on Sasuke because going to pick me.

"A group of three?" I hear Sasuke mumble. "That's only going to be burden for me." Not if I'm on your team!

"We've arranged the groups such that overall abilities are equivalent," Iruka sensai continues. "I will now announce them." he looks down at his paper and announces the teams. Finally, he gets to my group. "For group seven, Naruto Usumaki, Sakura Haruno," Oh no! I'm going to die now! ". . .And Sasuke Uchiha. Yes! Maybe I can live as Naruto's teammate. "Next, the eighth group. Hinata Huuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame."

Still excited to be in a group with Sasuke, I give a triumphant look to Ino. "Why do you get to be with him?" she quietly yells. Alright! Love prevails!

"Next, the ninth group. . .The tenth group is Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Chouji Akimichi," Take that, Ino! I get the hottest guy ever, and she gets fat guy and lazy bum? This couldn't get any better. "That's it for the groups."

"Iruka sensai!" Naruto stands up. "Why is a top student like me in a group with this guy?" he points to Sasuke. Top grades? Last time I checked he didn't even pass!

"Sasuke graduated with the highest scores," Iruka sensai said, "and you, Naruto, had the worst scores!" I've never heard so many people laugh like that. Ignoring this, sensai said, "This happens because we want to evenly divide abilities between groups."

"Don't pull my leg, Blockhead," Sasuke tells Naruto.

"What did you say?" Naruto, just shut up! Don't talk to Sasuke like that!

"You want to fight, Blockhead?" Sasuke calmly replies.

"Blockhead? Why. . ."

"Stop it, Naruto!" I shout.

"Sorry. . ."

"I'm going to introduce the Jounin teachers in the afternoon," Iruka sensai ignores our arguing. "Meeting's done until then."

Outside I look for Sasuke. "Sasuke! Where did he go? I wanted to eat together since we're in the same group."

"Sakura! Let's eat together since we're in the same group!" Naruto comes up from behind me.

"Why do I have to eat with you?"

"But we're in the same group now, so. . ."

"Your annoying," I turn away from him and continue looking for my crush. "Sasuke, where are you?"

With Sasuke no where in sight, I give up my search and sit on a nearby bench to eat my lunch. Even if I wanted to seduce him, my figures are below average. . .Only the width of my forehead is above average. How can I. . .?

I look up and Sasuke is standing right across from me, leaning against a tree. What? For real? Sasuke is looking at me. I blush as I think this. My imagination goes wild.

'You have such a wide and charming forehead,' he says, 'that I could just kiss it.'

'That's what it's for,' I reply dreamily.

I sigh. No. . .Who am I, a kid who still believes in fairy tales? That would never happen.

"You have such a wide and charming forehead," he says (huh?), "that I could just kiss it." Alright! This fairy tales coming true! "Not!" That ruined the moment. "Only Naruto would say something like that. I wanted to ask you something," he sits next to me. "What do you think of Naruto?"

"He's become accustomed to interfere with everything," I say truthfully. "He's having fun looking at me having trouble. Naruto knows nothing about me. He's just annoying! I just want you to accept me, Sasuke."

"Just for me to accept you?"

I blush. "I'll do anything. . ." I move my head closer to his. All the sudden he puts his arms around his stomach and runs away. "Huh? What's wrong?"

"I-I'll be right back!"

"Sasuke is such a shy guy," I say to myself, still blushing.

After waiting a few minutes, Sasuke comes back. He walks past me like I'm not even there. "Wait. . ."

"Where's Naruto?" Huh? What about me?

"Forget about Naruto," I tell Sasuke. "All he does is pick quarrels with you." I cross my arms. "It's probably since he's had such an irregular childhood. Oh ya, you know how he doesn't have parents, right? He's always doing selfish things," I put my hands on my hips. "My parents would scold me if I did those things. If you're alone your parents wouldn't get mad at you. That's why he's so selfish."

"The solitude. . ." he says, not looking at me.

"Huh?"

"You can't even compare to the level of where your parents get mad at you," he said darkly, his bluish black hair blowing in the wind.

"What's the matter?"

"Your annoying," and he just walks away. What happened? Just a minute ago I could've sworn he liked me!

"'Your annoying,' huh?" I said to myself. "I see. Naruto must've felt the same way. Maybe I can be nicer starting now."

"Damn it," I heard a voice say. "Did I eat something weird?"

I turned and saw Naruto. Smile, smile! I made a fake smile and started waving at him.

"You're trying to trick me, eh Sasuke?" he said. "I'm not going to fall for it!" WHAT? All the sudden, he held his stomach like how Sasuke did before.

"What the heck is this?" he rushed away.

At first I was stunned, then I was angry. "Naruto, you idiot!"
