Chapter 1: Welcome to Your New Life
Everything changed for the young girl within two unruly weeks. This had become her personal hell. Public school. And to add was it was known for having the worst of the worst students. On the outside it was clean and stable looking. The letters spelling Leaf Public School aka Inferno Central seemed new but the new girl knew different. She had seen true pictures of the inside. Wall paint was pealing off, lockers either was dented or broken, and worst of all graffiti of random things everywhere!
'Why did they have to pick this school of all places?' the girl thought sadly. She walked up the steps slowly in regret of agreeing to go there. She pushed open the doors to see empty hallways. She knew she was late because she wanted to be. Nothing changed from the photos shown to her. Every step to the front office made her horror story more real than ever. She stopped at the first desk with a sigh escaping her lips. She noticed there was a glass between her and the rest of the office. The girl ringed the bell lightly and one of the back doors opened slightly to the onyx eyes of a small woman. Her pupils grew wide in notice of the younger woman. The door opened more and revealed the hour glass figure of the woman.
"Oh my, you must be Miss Sakura Haruno!" the woman exclaimed. She rushed to the desk with papers in hand. "Thank you for coming. I am sorry to tell you that you are late."
"I know I am late," Sakura answered nonchalant.
"Well, here are you schedule, map of school, and ID. I am going to warn you now but you may be made fun of for your strange color of hair with it being pink and all," Shizune advised sadly.
"I'm okay. I am use to being looked at strange," Sakura reassured. The black haired woman walked out of a glass door and led the new student to her first class.
"Mr. Umino can be very strict but a lot of students like him because he gives them a lot of attention. Of course, he does get distracted easily," Shizune explained with a giggle. Soon the little woman stopped in front of a door decorated with papers that went from low C to high A. Shizune opened the door with no worries and caught the teacher in the middle of roll call.
"Hello, Iruka! This is your missing student, Miss Sakura Haruno," Shizune smiled. Iruka got a little blush on his face at the sight of the office lady.
'Brown to black hair, standard clothes of a teacher, and dark eyes make him average. The scar across the bridge of his face shows he has the experience of battle. He is a push over with a sad story,' came a voice in Sakura's head. Doctors said she had Double Personality Disorder but she knew what it was. A winged figure that has taken care of her since birth.
"Oh, Miss Shizune! Hello to the both of you! Miss Sakura take desk spot number five next to Miss Hyuuga," Iruka smiled. Sakura turned her head to the other girl.
'Indigo hair with clear white eyes and no pupils, natural physical features of the Hyuuga clan. Her facial expression shows she is very coward like which is strange for their usual egotism. You can be nice to this one. She seems a lot more…open as to say than the usual," the inner self spoke again. Sakura walked to her assigned desk slowly to try not startle the girl of equal age. She sat down quietly to be startled herself with a hand held out beside her.
"Hi, I am Hin-Hinata Hyuuga!" Hinata introduced. She had an embarrassed blush lightly on her pale skin. She wore a ivory dress shirt with a gray skirt and matching knee high boots. "I like your shoes." Sakura looked down at her own boots and smiled. They were a shiny black but not bulky like. It went with her red-and-black plaid skirt and her red dress shirt.
"Thank you, Hinata. I am Sakura Haruno. Do we always have to wear skirts and dress shirts? I mean it's more comfortable than my past uniform but I would think the school wouldn't mind," Sakura responded to Hinata's conversation starter.
"Yeah, it is the only thing they are strict on here. Guys have to wear dress shirts but any bottoms. We can have undershirts showing as long as they are not considered sexual advancements. But some days we have free dress," Hinata explained.
"Oh F-U-N," Sakura said with sarcasm. Hinata giggled at her new friend's amusement of the matter.
"Hey! Talk in free time ladies. Now we have to concentrate on our English work. Talk later, work now," Iruka instructed. The rest of the period went as boring as ever for the new student. She knew all this. She was basically in college classes before she came to this low class school. She slowly scanned the room to the notice the room was split in half of genders. She a good look at the boys and saw no interest until one caught her eye.
'Unusual blood colored hair, jade eyes, and cream skin shows he is unflawed except for those ringed eyes. He most likely has no sleep with how dark those circles are. I can feel a presence in him that can be dangerous,' Sakura's inner self explained.
"Sabaku no Gaara! Stop doodling and do your assignment given to you!" Iruka ordered sternly. This is was about the fourth time he had to discipline the young boy. Gaara looked up with no emotions showing on any part of his body. Sakura looked away sensing Iruka's eyes wondering her way. "Miss Haruno! Why are you not doing your work?"
"I am done, Mr. Umino," Sakura answered with slight anger.
"Well then I will give you more work to keep your eyes away from the male side of the room..." Iruka went on about how the work was good distraction for students but Sakura had zoned him out. She was in her own mental battle.
'How dare this bastard demand we do more than others!'
'Please stop, we promised to be good and I plan to keep it.'
'Why doesn't anyone say anything? Are we alone in this?'
'Only until the others are ready. They will come and we will not be so vulnerable to this type of treatment.'
'Let it happen quick. It will be hard to restrain.'
"Are you listening, Miss Haruno?" Iruka questioned.
"You want to hear yes but then you will ask me what you said. Something I cannot answer. Honestly no I have not paid one bit of attention to your unneeded lecture. I am done with my work and I will do no more than required," Sakura said quickly. Her pupils went to hostile slits when Iruka clicked his tongue. Before a scene could happen, the teacher walked away to a raised hand to another girl.
'Two tight Chinese buns of brunette hair and matching hair show normality with a weirdness inside. She doesn't need help obviously. She is saving the drama,' the inner self chuckled.
Sakura looked at the teacher 'instructing' the odd girl. Her movements showed slight annoyance but her face illuminated with fake happiness. Sakura gave a small smirk and laid her head on her desk.
Dreaming
"Sakura, keep your head low and act like a little freshman okay. You cannot be found out, get it? This is your chance of freedom. It might not be the best but they ask fewer questions. There aren't very much obstacles," a blonde man explained.
"Master Minato, what are these 'obstacles'? I mean it is a dirt school!" Sakura asked. Her eyes were sad with grief and guilt.
The man stroked her cheek softly and told her, "You are much farther ahead than their students so be as patient as possible. You are leaving without your teammates, they will come later. The biggest one is someone you must dodge. He is a teacher that works there."
"Kakashi? Is it really him? Is that a good idea placing us in the same school as-"
"It is our only choice! Do you want to go to a school he controls? I am not willing to sacrifice y'all to him!"
"Okay Master Minato. I'll try to be good…"
"That's all I am asking my young Saku." Minato gave his student a small smile and bumped his forehead with hers. "We will not be separated for long. When the other two are healed up and ready, we will be together again as a family we once were."
"But it seems so far away Minato da!" Sakura cried. Tears streamed down her creamy cheeks as she thought of being separated from her made family.
Awake
BRINGGGG!
Sakura's head shot up from her desk as she woke from her memory dream. "Sakura? What class do you have next?" Hinata asked worriedly.
"Um….Mrs. Kurenai Yuhi? For art class. Wow, been awhile since I have done any type of art," Sakura answered with a chuckle. Hinata gave her a small smile.
"You use to do art?" Hinata asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, until my freshman year… my dad started to crack down on my work. I took a lot of college classes so this stuff is a piece of cake," Sakura answered. She finally got up to walk with Hinata. The halls were swarmed by hormone raged students. Sakura sweat dropped at the scene. Girls are in groups giggling about the boys. Boys acting cool and nonchalant to their comments of them. She and Hinata moved through the hall hoping to go unnoticed.
"HINATA!" yelled a male. Bothe girls looked at him with surprise. He was smiling like a complete look.
'Bright blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and whisker scars… Naruto! I don't think Minato thought we would ever meet up with the son he left. Act like you don't notice him!' the inner self cried.
"Na-Naruto! Please be more quiet," Hinata said. A little red blush came upon the Hyuuga descendent face. The young boy stopped and whimpered a little. "Say hello to Sakura Haruno. This is her first day. She has art with our group too."
"Really? How fun! You know that she has to sit by Gaara?" Naruto smiled. Sakura gave him an in quizzed look. "He had red hair, greenish eyes ya know? He is a bit of a hard head but he is cool when ya get to know him!"
As the three students walked into the art room, Sakura noticed the separation of juniors and seniors. The girl from Sakura and Hinata's English class was with the seniors. She was beside a boy who had similar looks to Hinata herself. Hinata immediately walked over to the junior side that looked at her with open arms. Most of the students sat on the tables not their chairs.
'That boy has the features as Hinata but he fits the usual Hyuuga act. He watches her like a hawk. I can see why she goes to the group to get away,' the inner Sakura commented.
"Sakura! Come and meet the group!" Naruto yelled. Sakura turned herself to the junior side of the room. "This is Kiba, Gaara, Kankuro, Shino, Choji, Sai, and Akamaru."
'Gaara is his name huh? Kankuro is a normal like brown on brown look but the paint on the face is a subject to bring up. Shino has old style glasses and gravity defying hair. Choji is an eater alright. Akamaru is a… hound? Weird… Sai is here. We better straighten him out to make sure he doesn't talk,' the inner Sakura growled.
"What school you come from Sakura?" Kiba asked cheerfully.
"Reno Academy for the Academically Skilled. It's been awhile Sakura, how is the family? I hear you are the only one right now," Sai answered.
"Not for awhile. It is taking the other two some time because of attitude problems. I am sure they will be happy to see old Sai again," Sakura smiled but her eyes showed her true annoyance. Her pupils silted a little warning Sai to back off. Sai gave her a reassured smile.
"So you are from that snob school huh?" Gaara questioned. His smirk showed his little bit of playful side.
"Snob school yes. I didn't like it much so I was like fuck it I will come to School of Trash," Sakura said sarcastically. The grouped laughed at Sakura's unfearful act to the school bad boy. Gaara keep his smirk in place until an archenemies of his walked into the room. A growl escaped his lips making the group look at the selected person.
'Pitch black hair, onyx eyes, and broad build. He is an Uchiha! (grrrr) The enemy is even here!' the inner Sakura growled.
'We have to stay calm around him' Sakura told her protector.
"SASKUE! Over here!" cried a female voice. Sakura looked at the other girl with disgust. She thought anyone who liked an official Uchiha had a brain tumor.
'Pale blonde hair, explains the stupidity of being around the enemy, and pale green eyes. Inoichi Yamanaka's daughter from the looks of it,' inner Sakura explained.
"Eww, Ino," Sai growled. He had pure hate in his eyes when he looked at the blonde female.
'Surprisingly, Choji isn't saying anything. He is Choza's son. Choza is a business partner of Inoichi too,' the inner Sakura explained.
"Is she your enemy here Sai? Like Madame Rie?" Sakura questioned.
"More like our Madame Butterfly," Sai answered. Sakura knew of 'Madame Butterfly' more than anyone.
The group all turned back to their little conversation on Sakura's old school. She told them the story assigned to tell. She had a single father and two siblings, she left her old school because they moved and she had no mother.
"Class sit! New kid, up front!" Kurenai ordered. Sakura walked up to the front as ordered. "Name, old school, family, and one hobby."
"Sakura Haruno, I come from Reno Academy for the Academically Skilled. I have a father and two siblings and I like to write," Sakura announced. She looked at the teacher with questions but kept her mouth shut.
"You will sit in the only seat left which is by… Mr. Sabaku no Gaara," Kurenai advised. Sakura walked and took the table seat next to Gaara and waved a little at him. Gaara waved back sarcastically making Sakura stick her tongue out at him. "I have to go to my back office for a phone conference so no work today."
The students swarmed to their previous groups. Soon, the own little art group gathered around Sakura to practically play twenty questions. "What's your schedule?" was her first question.
"Let's see, Math with Mr. Kakashi Hatake, Science with Mr. Jiraiya, and GYM with Mr. GAI? Who names their child GAI? No thought at all!" Sakura answered. The group laughed at her freak out of their teacher Gai.
"We usually skip Mr. Hatake and Mr. Jiraiya's classes since they don't do anything. They mark everyone there and leave the room. So we just hang out around the stores close to the school. You wanna come with us?" Naruto explained.
"Sure," Sakura smiled. The group went on talking about random things that made Sakura zone out.
Flashback
"Why are you so sad my baby?" a woman asked. Her voice was like sweet honey and her scent was like lavender.
"We aren't gonna-gonna be with each other anymore momma!" the little girl cried.
"Master Minato will be with you. You also have your friends," the mother soothed to her offspring. Her eyes were oddly nonchalant to the crying child.
"But you won't be there!"
"I will too. We will visit," the young woman compromised.
"I am sorry but that is impossible," a bright blonde man corrected from behind. The mother turned around quickly to face the man. Anger raged through the woman in a matter of seconds.
"You can't do this to me! I have to see her!" the woman demanded. She started hitting the man but it did nothing to him. He grabbed her quickly and the woman shook violently. "She needs me!"
"She needs you to stay AWAY! You have already scared her! You were warned like your sister! She lost her child and now you too! Both children are scarred because neither of you cannot control yourselves!" Minato yelled. He pulled her away from the child. "Yoshino is the only smart one here. She willingly gave up her child to take care of you two! Guards!" Men in black suits took the raging woman out of the room. Minato kneeled down to the child and wiped away her tears. "Welcome, Sakura, to a new life."
End of Flashback
"S~a~k~u~r~a! The bell means we can leave!" Naruto called from the doorway. Sakura looked up to see the group all gathered at the doorway giving her an 'is-she-awake?' look except for Gaara. Always except for Gaara. He had his emotionless mask on but his eyes had a twig of sadness. Sakura blew it off as nothing and gathered her stuff to go off for the day.
