AN: Hello everyone! This is my first time ever in writing a story.... um.... I was nervous to publish it here in fanfic, but one of my bffs made me (*cough* bluebird *cough*) Anyway enjoy! =D

Chapter 1: News! We're Moving

It was the last day of summer. Well not exactly, she still has the weekend, but whatever. Anyway... A pink haired girl with emerald eyes is just waking up. Stretching her stiff muscles and squinting at the bright sunlight. She turned around to check the time. 7:30a.m.

'That was a nice sleep.' She thinks while yawning.

'Damn right it was. We went to bed early!', her inner complaints.

'Someone's bitchy this morning.' Outer comments.

'Of course I am. You refused to go to the party! You know you wanted to go and it was the last one Yukie was going to throw since her parents were coming today in the afternoon.'

'*sigh* Of course I wanted to go, but mom and nii-san were out and I wasn't going and leave Grandma alone.' The rosette reasoned.

'Whatever. Either way, Mike was going to be there and you know we like him very much.'

'Liked. He was a jerk to me the last time I went to the pool.'

'If you say so.'

'You know what?' the pink haired girl asked sweetly.

'What?' her inner asked cautiously.

'If you don't leave me alone, I WILL BANISH YOU TO THE DEEPEST DARKEST CONNER IN MY MIND. AGAIN.' Her thoughts went from sweet to deadly in a matter of seconds.

'Whoa, whoa! Down girl!' Her inner yells holding her arms up in defense. ' What crawled up your ass and died?'

'Nothing. Now could you please leave before I lose my sanity?'

'Fine. You should go downstairs. Mom's calling us.'

'Huh?' She didn't get an answer, just an evil laugh and the voice of her mother calling her.

"Sakura sweetie, come have breakfast. Your Grandma and brother are already downstairs." Her mother said from the stairs. The aroma of pancakes made Sakura's mouth water.

"In a minute." Sakura called back and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Haruno Sakura, 15-year-old sophomore in Suna High School. She was born in Konoha, but moved to Suna when she was 6-years-old. Her mother is Haruno Misaki. Sakura looks just like her mother. The curves, the pink hair, the short tempter, cheerfulness, they both have inners, and the courage to not keep up. The only thing Sakura doesn't have from her mother are the eyes. While her mother's is a blue-green, Sakura's are emerald, like her fathers.

Sakura's father, Haruno Kenichi, died when she was 10-years old on a mission. His team disappeared while his body was found. She misses him dearly, but she trains hard to make him proud wherever he his watching over her.

Her brother, Haruno Sasori –or Sasori of the Red Sand, like his friends call him-, is 21 years old. He is a member of the Akatsuki, protecting the tailed beasts. He is very protective, which Sakura finds cute in him (though sometimes it gets plain damn annoying).

Lastly, there's Sakura's baa-chan, Chiyo. She was their father's mom and she moved with them when they moved to Suna. She, with Sasori, taught Sakura how to fight against fatal poisons, including Sasori's deadly one.

Sakura is a Chuunin of Konoha. You're wondering how she became a Chuunin of Konoha when she lives in Suna, right? Well it's simple. When Sakura turned 12, she started going to Konoha every summer to train, though she never had a team. Her father figure, Hatake Kakashi, trained her every time he didn't have to train with his team. She never met them though. Her other sensei was Tsunade. Tsunade taught Sakura medical ninjutsu and chakra control. Kakashi always tells her that she has already surpassed her shishou in being a great kunoichi of Konoha. But enough of background, let's see what our pinkette is doing at the moment.

After a quick shower, Sakura got dressed in some black sweat pants and a pink spaghetti strapped shirt. Going downstairs, Sakura found her mother in front of the stove. Her grandma was drinking coffee while reading the newspaper. She was surprised to find her brother awake so early, though by the looks of it he wouldn't last long before he fell asleep again.

"Morning, everyone." Sakura greets.

"Morning, sweetie." Her mother greets her back.

"Morning, Cherry Blossom." Her Grandma did the same thing.

Sakura looks at her brother only to find him asleep with his head on the food, snoring quietly.

"Geez Sasori-nii, if you're not going to be awake for breakfast, why get up at all, you're just going to fall asleep before you even start eating. Besides, food is not a pillow baka." Sakura chided him.

Sasori slowly opened his eyes and stared directly at amused emerald eyes. He looked more like their dad than Sakura. He had dark red hair and brown eyes that nobody knew where he got them from. Recessive genes?

"Good morning to you, too, Princess." Sasori said then went back to sleep. On his food. Great.

Sakura giggled at the old nickname. Sasori has always called her Princess ever since she could remember. Her father used to call her the same thing. It kind of got stuck with him, even his teammates called her the same thing. She considers them big brothers. Just like Sasori, they are all over protective of her to the point of she being able to have a boyfriend. Sad, but yes.

Sakura was interrupted out of her thoughts when her mother turned around and spoke to her.

"So Sakura, I have big news to tell you that will surprise you." Misaki said casually.

Granny Chiyo and an awake Sasori started paying attention, though they knew what Misaki will tell Sakura. Still, they wanted to see her reaction. Sakura has weird ways of handling things, so it will be amusing to watch her.

"Yeah Mom, what it is?", a totally clueless Sakura, which is not a surprise for them at all, asked.

"Well first, I changed jobs." Her mom started.

"That's great mom. The other job wasn't nice to you." Sakura said happily.

"That's not all, I'm not done yet."

"Sorry. What's the other news?"

"Well, my new job isn't her, so we have to move. I know you have your friends here and everything, but I know they'll understand." Her mother told her.

"Of course they will. So, where are we moving to?" Sakura asked, but got no answers, just 'wtf-are-you-fucking-kidding-me' looks."Well?" she was getting annoyed at those looks.

"Is the most wonderful place in the world." Her brother decided to give her mentally-crazed imotou a clue.

Sakura's eyes widen. 'No way.' She thought. "We're moving to-", she didn't get to finish her sentence when suddenly 3 voices screamed at the same time:

"KONOHA!!!!"

Sakura stood there in shock for about 4 minutes (worrying everyone in the mean time), before the situation sank in and her face broke into a grin so big, it hurt her cheeks.

"No way!" she yelled excitedly.

"Yes way!!" Sasori said, trying to sound like Sakura, making everyone at the table laugh.

"So when do we leave?" Sakura asked, after the laughter died down.

"The moving truck is coming around 4p.m. to get the bigger stuff and then the boxes, so you need to start packing everything up, but leave clothes for tonight and tomorrow since we are leaving first thing in the morning and it's a three hour drive from Suna to Konoha. You drive with Sasori since he sended his car over there this morning while I take my car with grandma. You also start school on Monday, so be ready." Sakura's mother explained.

"You already transferred me?", an incredulous Sakura asked.

"Yup, now go start packing."

"Okay. I'll call everyone and tell them the news while I'm packing." Sakura informed, already halfway up the stairs.

........

"You think you made the right choice, Misaki?" Chiyo asks after they hear Sakura's door slam shut.

"Yeah I'm sure. She needs to go to where she belongs like her father wanted her to. Konoha will provide the protection she needs. Suna is not safe for her anymore." Misaki answers, with a sour expression in her face.

"You're right there, but if anything happens to her. I'm protecting her no matter what, got it?" Sasori points out not sleepy anymore and a serious expression.

"Yes I understand." Misaki answered and started doing the dishes. She just hoped this was the right choice.
