Okay guys, I'd just like to dedicate this story to my group, the Manga Readers, and more so to my editor, Crescent Moon 202, without whom, this story would not have even been published, and thank you for being my rock, and slapping me back to reality when I'm having a moment. Also, to my other friend, I Like Trains 101, thank you so much for your randomness, and for having the ability to make me laugh when I know I'm about to cry, love you guys!

Chapter One: Meet the Family
Sakura P.O.V: Sigh. Oh, hi. My name is Sakura Haruno Nara, and I'm sixteen years old. My long, pastel pink hair falls to my waist, and is tipped with jet black. Blazing, emerald green eyes are made even more prominent by my porcelain white skin. Before you ask, yes, everything is natural! My brother's name is Gaara Haruno Nara, and he is twelve years old. He has spiky, dark auburn hair that's cut short, big sea foam green (that's bluish green) eyes and porcelain white skin.
Gaara and I are currently in a big black Mercedes with all our bags, driving to an unknown place. Let me tell you how we ended up in this situation in the first place; My Mom, Hashina Haruno, and she was a spirited, lively person with her short, pastel pink hair, big blue eyes and porcelain white skin. She raised us all alone. Our Dad left with our older brother, Shikamaru, when he was eight, I was six and Gaara was two. When I was fourteen, and Gaara ten, Mom got really sick. Cancer. She died just three weeks ago. We buried her only a week ago. Just a week. It seems so long ago.
Well anyway, Gaara and I are going to live with our Dad, Shikkau Nara. Oh, and the reason mine and Gaara's names are Haruno Nara, is because Mom wanted us to be proud of being a Haruno too. So, since all of our other family is either dead or not prepared to handle us, going to live with Dad is our best option. Apparently he and Shikamaru live in some weirdo place in the middle of nowhere called Konoha (Leaf) Village. I tried looking it up online, but all I got was something about a school. Strange. Right, so Shikkau sent a chauffeur to pick us up. I mean, wow, but I do own a car! Despite all of that, I still went with them. So, here I am, in the backseat of a spacious limo, half asleep with Gaara curled up in my lap. I got comfortable and leaned back, closing my eyes.
*MM29*MM29*MM29* *MM29*MM29*MM29* *MM29*MM29*MM29* *MM29*MM29*MM29* *MM29*MM29*MM29*
As usual, my sleep was restless and plagued by nightmares, so I was relieved when someone shook me awake. "Miss Nara? Please, Miss, were here. Could you wake your brother? He won't wake." I blinked groggily, looking up at the man's face. "Hm? Oh, sure, of course, thank you. Oh, also, you can just call me Sakura. Just Sakura. How should I address you?" The chauffer smiled; he had dark, wavy brown hair, and pale, orange-ish gold eyes. His face was slightly wrinkled, and he looked like he could be old enough to be an uncle or something. "You can just call me Mark, Miss Sakura." "Mark," I smiled. Trying to wake Gaara was a lost cause, so I just picked up his small, light body, and he shifted, wrapping his arms around me and burying his warm, spiky head into the crook of my neck. Hesitantly, I stepped out of the car, and I automatically clutched Gaara closer.
Standing on the numerous steps to the huge, beautiful mansion in front of me, were four people; My Dad, Shikkau Nara. Tall, thin with spiky, jet black hair, big emerald green eyes (matching mine) and pale white skin. He had a big grin on his face. Shikamaru Nara, my big brother. His jet black hair was up in a spiky ponytail, dark brown eyes shining and pale skin smooth and clear. He was smirking slightly, making me smile faintly. Next, was a woman who I didn't recognize. She had long, dark red hair, pale brown eyes and pale skin. Lastly, was a girl about my age, who had to be the woman's daughter? She had long, blood red hair with matching crimson eyes and rectangular spectacles. "Sakura," breathed Shikkau, "and little Gaara too?" I nodded yes. Gently shaking him awake, I put the disoriented boy back on his feet. Gaara clutched my leg (his head only came up to my waist) and whispered groggily, "Saku-chan? Where are we? And are they..?" he left the sentence trailing off. "Oh, introductions!" cried Shikkau, the man walked up to Gaara and held a hand out, "Hello Gaara. I'm your father, Shikkau. I'm so sorry about your mother. I do still love her very much." I gave Gaara a little nudge, and he tentatively shook Shikkau's large hand. "Hello, Sakura. You look so much like your mother, it's amazing. But, you do have that Nara streak in you!" smiled Dad, gesturing to my black tipped hair. "Yeah, I guess I do." I replied. Shikamaru stepped up, "Gaara! Sakura!" Both Gaara and I ran at him full force, nearly killing him with our enthusiasm. "Big brother!" cried Gaara, "Shika-kun!" I exclaimed happily. Gaara had both arms around his waist, and I had my arms around his torso. Shikamaru chuckled and twined his long arms around us. "I missed you both so, so much…" he whispered. I closed my eyes contentedly, and sighed.
When we all pulled back, Dad pointed out the woman and her daughter. "This is Kanna Asukati Nara…my wife, and her daughter, Karin Asukati Nara, my...well, your...step-sister." Say WHAT? Gaara shuffled behind me and Shikamaru, hiding. "Gaara buddy? You alright?" asked Dad. I frowned, "Erm…Gaara…well, he feels peoples…auras? And he doesn't really…like theirs…." I trailed off awkwardly. "Oh." said Dad. Kanna stepped closer, "Hello children! I'm Kanna! You're new Mommy! I hope that we'll be very good friends!" she smiled sweetly at us. Somehow it made me uneasy; I immediately put up my guard. "Hello. Um…yeah….friends…" I felt Gaara trembling against me, and I reached out a hand to stroke his head. "I'm Karin." The second red head gave me a snide look, and I glared back. "Let's go inside!" cried Dad, not sensing the tension. Shikamaru picked up Gaara and put him on his shoulders, so I followed them inside. There was a huge entryway, another long hallway, and so many doors! After showing me the kitchen and living rooms (etc, etc…), Dad let Shikamaru show Gaara and I our rooms.
All our rooms were on the same floor, in the same hallway, mine, Gaara's, Shikamaru's and Karin's. Gaara's was painted dark green and blue, while mine was hot pink and black. Each of us has our own bathrooms. After a quiet and awkward dinner, Gaara, Shikamaru and I were all lounging around in my room, talking and having fun before we went to bed. "So, what's the deal? I mean, you know, with Kanna and Karin?" I asked, once Gaara was drifting off. Shikamaru sighed, "Long story." "I've got time." I replied "Okay, So it all started when my Mom (Inaka Shirona), met dad. Now…wait…you know what? Dad will explain everything in the morning." "What? Shika?" I questioned. He ignored me completely, picking up the now sleeping Gaara, and carrying him out. "Be ready by 6:00am." Said Shikamaru "Oh and…night, Sakura-chan." I smiled back, "Night, Oniisan."
Okay! Thanks so much for reading! Please review, and I'll post some more! These was mainly an introduction, and some filling, but please just review, and trust me, the plot shall thicken!
