A New Love, Friendship, and Rivals

One day I was coming home from training in the woods in Grass Country. I'm Hana Akari, the heir to the Hana Clan.I have long black hair and black eyes. As I come home something wasn't right. Kunais and shurikens were all over the place. They were stuck on doors, and the houses. Windows were broken and shattered everywhere. I saw two people and one with long black hair and one like a blue shark. They came out of my house and saw me.

"I thought you said you took got rid of every one of them Itachi-san." the blue shark said.

"This one must have just come home Kisame." Itachi told.

"Just get rid of her."Kisame said.

I turned around and started running. They appeared right in front of me. I put my hands in front of their faces and a black fire came out of my hands and hit their faces. I ran for hours and I entered Konoha. I saw a boy with black hair and onyx eyes then my legs started to feel weak.

"Hey! Hey! Are you ok?!"he asked as I passed out.

Later, I feel the sun on my face. I opened my eyes and regain my memory. I see the same boy above me.

"Wh-Where am I? Who are you?!" I asked.

"You're In Konoha and I'm Uchiha Sasuke."Sasuke answered.

"Can I ask you one more thing?" I asked.

"Sure." Sasuke answered.

"Why are you holding me?" I asked.

Sasuke blushed and helped me stand up. I looked around me and noticed a blonde boy, a pink-haired girl, and a silver haired jounin.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! I'm going to be the greatest hokage!!" the blonde boy said.

"I'm Haruno Sakura." the pink haired girl said.

"What's your name and who are you?" the jounin asked.

"I'm Hana Akari from the Hana Clan in Grass Country. I'm the heiress and the only survivor…"I answered.

"Why's that?..."Sasuke asked.

"I saw two people, and their names were Itachi and Kisame." I answered them.

"So you know how it feels like too." Sasuke told.

"Hn?" I asked.

"I'm the last survivor of my clan too. My brother, Itachi killed our clan…"Sasuke said.

"He did?!" Sakura asked.

"You never knew?..."Sasuke asked.

"…..…"Naruto replied.

"I don't understand why they would kill my clan. What do they want?" I asked crying.

"Does your clan have a special blood-line trait? They may be after that." Sasuke said.

"I have control over flowers. I can make them as sharp, soft, pretty, or ugly as I want. Pretty much anything I want. I'm the only one who can do that. Oh! I also had a black fire come out of my hands. I'm also good at genjutsu." I told.

"Hm. Interesting.…" Kakashi said.

"That's an amazing power!" Naruto said.

"Thanks Naruto and yes I do!" I agreed.

"We should go to the Hokage tower now." Sakura told.

"Ok." I replied.

We all went up to the Hokage tower. He was old but he was very nice and happy. I was tensed but I loosened up after a few seconds.

"Hokage-sama, this is the girl that collapsed in front of Konoha. She wants to be a ninja. Does she qualify to become one?" Kakashi asked him.

The hokage concentrated on me. He sensed a great amount of chakra around me. Then he stopped.

"Yes. Don't even bother to put her in the academy. Put her in your team right away." he commanded.

"Yes Hokage-sama." Kakashi obeyed.
"Wow. Sasuke is kind of cute and they're all really nice. I'm happy I met them today." I thought.

The next day Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke would train me equally. Naruto would train me in combat. Then, Sakura would train me in genjutsu and ninjutsu. Finally, Sasuke would train me in weapons in sparring. Sakura started with me in chakra.

"Ok, now concentrate all your chakra on your feet and run up the tree and with the kunai, mark the place on the tree before you're about to fall. Do you get Akari?" Sakura told.

"Yup! Here goes!" I said.

I concentrated all my chakra and ran up the tree. I ran up 14 feet, stopping at the top of the tree. Sakura stared at me with her mouth open. Then after I finished up with Sakura, Naruto came.

"Hey Akari-chan!" Naruto called out.

"Hey Naruto."I greeted.

"I'm going to go now. Bye Akari. Bye Naruto." Sakura said.

"Bye Sakura." We said.

Naruto showed me some moves. If I did a move wrong, he would move my limbs so they're right. He's come up behind me and move them. At first it was little weird, yet comforting. We finished a while later.

"I'll treat you to some ramen." Naruto said.

"No thanks." I declined.

"Well, if I can't treat you to ramen then.."Naruto paused.

Naruto leaned in and close his eyes. I knew what was happening. I put my fingers on his lips. I shook my head.

"I'm sorry I don't like you like that." I apologized.

"It's ok." Naruto said.

Sasuke appeared and I smiled. Naruto left and Sasuke and I started training. Sasuke and I trained till dusk.

"I'll be back." Sasuke said.

He looked a bit uneasy. I waited on the bench. When Sasuke returned he looked a bit scared.

"Uh I had fun training with you today Akari." Sasuke told.

"Me too." I agreed.

Sasuke led me over to a tree and gently put his arms around me. He kissed me on the lips and hugged me after that.

"Bye."Sasuke said.

"O….k…."I paused. "Wait, I don't have a place to sleep."

"You can sleep in Sakura's guest room." Sasuke told.

"Ok." I said.

He led me to Sakura's house. Sasuke left and I knocked on Sakura's door. She let me bunk with her. I fell asleep as my head touched the pillow in the bed.

"What a day." I said before I fell asleep.

I woke up next morning and my new ninja outfit was a pink short sleeved shirt and black shorts. I brushed my hair and put on my black headband on my head. I then looked outside and saw Naruto and Sasuke waiting so I packed my weapons and went downstairs. I saw a blonde girl sitting next to Sakura and I sat down and ate cereal. They looked a bit mad.

"This is Ino we need to talk to you about Sasuke-kun, Akari." Sakura told me.

"Is he ok!?" I asked worringly.

"He's fine, just leave him alone." Sakura replied.

"Wh-What?" I asked.

"You've been too friendly to him. Just leave him alone. He's ours. We saw him first." Ino told.

I was sad so I just got up and left. Sasuke blushed and looked down. I looked back at Ino and Sakura and they looked mad. Ino waved and left. I hummed a song while Naruto, Sasuke, and I walked to the training grounds. Sakura met us at the training grounds. Kakashi held three bells. Naruto had his mouth open. I wasn't so sure why.

"Again?!" Naruto asked.

"Akari wasn't here for the first test so on my mark, we're going to start. On your mark. Go!" Kakashi said.

Sakura and Naruto went in different directions. Sasuke and I stayed together. I was confused. I didn't know what to do.

"What do we do now Sasuke-kun?" I asked.

"We get the bells from Kakashi wait…did you just call me Sasuke-kun?..."Sasuke asked.

"Um…ya…I'm sorry is that wrong of me?" I asked.

"No. It's not, but, only Sakura and Ino call me that and the rest of the fangirls cause they like me." Sasuke answered.

"Oh. Well….I like you too…" I told.

Sasuke stood shocked. I blushed and I was really red. Sasuke and I started to move and we finally found Kakashi-sensei. Sasuke taught me Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu and I used it. Then I saw a sakura tree and used to petals to capture him using that. Sasuke and I got the bells. I let Kakashi-sensei go and Sasuke and I sat under the tree and watched Naruto and Sakura.

"That jutsu was amazing." Sasuke told.

"Thanks." I thanked.

"You're welcome Akari." Sasuke said.

Sasuke lifted my chin and softly kissed me. I was shocked at first. I was happy too. Then I remembered what Sakura and Ino said to me. I started to cry. Sasuke looked at me.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked.

"Ino and Sakura told me to stay away from you. They said that you're theirs and that they saw your first."I told Sasuke.

"Don't listen to them."Sasuke said.

After a couple minutes it was over. Sasuke and I stood up. We walked over to Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi-sensei. Sakura glared at me. I could tell she's really mad that Sasuke and I worked and got the bells together. Kakashi-sensei handed me the Konoha forehead protector.

"It's over Akari. You pass." Kakashi said.

"Yay! I'm a Konoha kunoichi!"I said excitedly.

I took off my headband and took my Konoha forehead protector and put it on my head and tied it. For a celebration we went to Icharuka and had ramen. After, we all went home. Sakura didn't talk to me the whole way there. I changed into my pj's and to bed.
