The Killer Cherry Blossom

Prologue

Waves… waves are my life. I have been a surfer since the age of 6. Surfing school is actually where I met my brothers. Not blood brothers, but close enough. Naruto and Sasuke. Also known as 'The Clawed Ripper Fox', and 'The Deadly Dark Angel'.

Hey, I'm Sakura Haruno, also known as 'The Killer Cherry Blossom', as I practically kill the waves I ride. I rip up the surf, riding like I am the wave itself… or so I am told.

Our legal guardian, Kakashi, is also our manager and is forever keeping the media and paparazzi off out backs. It gets annoying after 3 years of constant fame. Us being the best surfers in the world does have its down sides, but then again, we are millionaire's. Then again, what is money without someone to spend life with? Not that I have ever thought about this before, because I know I don't need anyone beside Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke. They are my family.

A past occurrence has plagued my mind for the past year and a half, whether it be in nightmares of everyday life, I see it. My parents getting shot, murdered by Sasori of the Akatsuki. He is currently in jail, with his partner in crime Deidara. The rest of the Akatsuki went in hiding after that.

They were caught in a cross-fire at a bank. My father had tried to stop them, and then when my mother ran to my father she was shot as well. My parents were good people and didn't deserve what happened to them, but nothing I can do will change that.

You know, Naruto, Sasuke and I used to be poor before we got out big surfing break at age 14, even though we had been surfing since we were 6. Our talent was only known when we were at a local beach, ripping waves. By chance, a news reporter happened to be there, and next minute we know, we are in surf competitions, winning gold and becoming surfing idols.

My family was poor, Naruto had no family and lived off child services money, and Sasuke had been abandoned by his father, (his mother had died when he was 6), when he said, at age 10, that he wanted to be a pro surfer and not take over the family business.

So Naruto and Sasuke moved into my parents' house when they were 12, and we have been family since then.

I was there for them when they needed it, and they were there for me when I needed it. My parents died when I was 17, I am now 18, and we live with Kakashi in a mansion over looking the beach.

We go to a school where everyone knows who we are, but don't dare approach us.

They don't approach us because they know, when we moved there (which was after my parents died), we didn't want to be disturbed.

I put up a cold front, never smiling except when around my family, and never talking.

I wasn't mean or rude, just distant.

Naruto just thinks they are busy-bodies if they try and talk to us, and Sasuke has always been cold, and always will be, to people he doesn't know or isn't us.

Don't get me wrong, I love them, and they love me, Naruto and Sasuke are wonderful people, you just have to know them.

And Kakashi, well he is a pervert, and a bit of a loner. We have tried to hook him up with a girlfriend, but he prefers one night stands.

So, yes, there is me, an emotional reck, there's Sasuke, a cold distant hottie, there's Naruto, a hyperactive prankster, and there's Kakashi, a lonesome pervert. What a messed up family.

But I love them all the same, and they love me.

Nothing had changed for at least a year, but then he came, and he couldn't keep his nose out. So I ended up falling in love for the second time.

The first time was Sasuke. I was in love with him from the age 8 till I was 13, but then realised it would never happen, so only a brotherly love is there now.

And with Naruto, I was his first love, and only so far, he loved me from the age 10 till 15, but I told him it would never happen, so only a sisterly love came from him.

I know Kakashi has fallen in love before and that's why he is so aloof, and lonerish now. Don't know what happened or who she was because he has never told us, but these things will come out in time. I know they will.

As for Sasuke, he has never loved anyone like that. I'm not sure he will for a long time. He prefers not trusting people, because of the betrayal of his brother, who killed his mother because she loved Sasuke more, and of his father who cut him from the family.

So, the family just keeps getting more screwed up, but I love it anyway.

You know, no one has ever noticed that my smile is fake for the camera's, or when I am not around my family, no one has ever noticed that inside I am broken. No one but the new guy.
