A New city a new life

Coz i still remember the day we met...

And I hated you from that very moment

But never would have guessed..

That I would fall so deep for you...

Sakura Haruno scurried from the platform A as she heaved a breath and searched for a grey haired man. The Tokyo railway station was buzzing with activity and there was hardly any room to breath.

'Now where could he be..?'

"Hi! Sakura!"

She turned her head and flashed a smile at the sight of her soon to be guardian rushing past the hordes of people.

Kakashi gave his usual charming smile as he rushed forward and took her loaded bag from her hands..

"Here, let me.."

"It's good to see you Kakashi!"

She laughed and hugged him gently as he returned the favour and slightly ruffled her pink tresses out of habit.

She pouted as she removed his hand from her hair before he guided her out of the station.

They made their way through the parking lot and abruptly stopped near a white convertible.

"Please be sitted!"

He lightly added as she chuckled and thanked him before he too got in the driver seat and took off.

"So, how was your journey?"

"Fine, I guess."

Sakura answered shortly as she poped chewing gum in her mouth.

"How is Kizashi and Mebuki?"

Kakashi asked after few moments of silence as they rounded off the highway.

"Just as usual. Dad making silky jokes, mom getting annoyed and shouting at him."

Both shared a mirthful laugh at this.

Sakura stared in awe at the multi storey buildings as they turned round the street in a quieter environment.

Sakura Haruno was born and brought up in small town of Magome in Kiso valley. Her father ran a bakery shop there while her mother was a middle school teacher. Eighteen year old Sakura have lived her whole life in the farms of Magome. Since her very childhood she was a brilliant student who got A on all her tests and scored perfect in every exam. Her father was handicapped in an accident when she was just six and due to lack of money they couldn't afford his operation. Kizashi accepted his fate and lived his life to the fullest, content with his small bakery. Sakura however wanted to give her father the right treatment so he could walk on his feet again. Since that very day, she vowed to be the best doctor a person could become. She wanted to attend the Tokyo University and practice under skilled teachers and doctor. However, due to lack of money she couldn't afford the fees. She however entered for the scholarship exam and got a hundred percent scholarship to attend the university.

It was like a dream come true for her. First step towards her goal.

"We are here Sakura."

She looked out of the window as she spotted a small house located in the outskirts of the city. It was neat and the surrounding seemed pretty calm as opposed to the main city. She smiled secretly as she spared Kakashi a glance who carried her bags from the car.

She didn't know what will she do in such a big city if he wasn't there. Kakashi Hatake used to be the member of the secret agency PSIA. Ten years ago her mother found him lying near the river of their town, all battered and bruised. She carried the unconscious man to their home and took care of him until he was fully recovered. He was only 24 back then.

He just told them about his work and that he was quitting his job as he failed in his mission. They didn't pesture him much about any other information.

He stayed with her family for about two months and became quite friendly with them. He was especially fond of little Sakura who was too bright for her own age.

Since then Kakashi have become a close friend of the Haruno family. After his retirement from the service he opened his own judo and karate class to teach the children.

After learning that Sakura have successfully enrolled herself in the prestigious university, he volunteered to be her guardian in Tokyo as a sign of gratitude for all their help and care years ago.

She followed Kakashi slowly as he unlocked his gate and walked through the small garden area and towards the front door. Sakura gaped at the interior. It was a two storey traditional house with retro paintings but their were some abstract pictures too which gave the house a classy look.

Their were three rooms downstairs, one being hall, the other kitchen and a bedroom. Upstairs contained only two rooms, both of them being for guest, one of which she would be occupying.

He showed Sakura her room as he placed her luggage carefully.

"Bathroom is just adjacent to it. Go and freshen up. I will just be down if you need me for something."

"Thanks alot Kakashi. It really means alot for me."

He wrinkled his eyebrows as he puffed out air from his mouth before pinching her cheeks lightly.

"You are like my little sister Sakura. Anything for you."

He winked at her before disappearing from there, leaving the pinkette in her own thoughts.

After an hour of adjusting her things and a thorough bath, Sakura finally emerged from her room in a pair of long pyjamas and a purple shirt.

She spotted Kakashi sitting in lounge area reading his usual erotic book as she rolled her eyes at him.

"Geez, you know mom won't be much happy if she learned you were reading porn in front of her innocent daughter."

He sighed as he placed the book aside and invited her to sit beside him, offering her cookies.

Sakura munched on them as a comfortable silence settled.

"So, when is the big day?"

"Tomorrow I have to go and submit my documents and certificates from school and classes will be starting this Monday."

"Hmm. I will drop you then."

"Thanks."

She nodded as she observed the rustling of trees.

"I can't believe I am going to the Tokyo university."

She whispered in disbelief as Kakashi gave a soft smile and patted her shoulder.

"You did great kid. I am sure you will be the best doctor of our country one day."

Tears started to form in her eyes as he frowned and raised his hands defensively.

"Oh No! Don't cry Saku...You know I don't know how to comfort crying girls."

She giggled through her tears as she wiped off her face and nodded.

"Yes, Kakashi. I will make my parents proud one day."

The next day found Sakura rushing through the stairs in her denim jeans and simple white top with a bag loaded on her shoulder. Her shoulder length hairs were done in a messy ponytail. Kakashi was standing just outside the door wearing a casual blue t-shirt and khaki pants. She wouldn't be lying if she found him incredibly handsome at the moment. She always had a teensy bit of crush on the elder man which eventually subsided when she realised he saw her as his little sister.

They both got in the car as he drove off towards the plush area of the capital city.

After 30 minutes they were finally standing in front of the huge gates of the University. Sakura could swear she never saw such a lavish and huge place before in her life.

She could feel nervousness seeping through her veins as they walked through the corridors. She could spot many youngsters making their way in or standing with their friends. Everyone was dressed in expensive clothing and seemed from upper class family. Sakura couldn't help but feel inferior to them. They finally reached the administration block as they got inside. The place was packed with lots of people as they somehow managed to reach the front desk.

"Excuse me, we are here to submit documents for admission. Where are..?"

"3rd cabin top floor."

Receptionist spoke shortly as Kakashi curtly nodded before they made their way upwards. It took another two hours until the legal formalities were completed. Sakura was handed the brochure and a pamphlet containing universities guideline along with other necessary information.

"Well, that went well."

She shot an annoyed look towards Kakashi who scratched his head in response.

"Are you kidding me? Those guys were totally biased. I mean...we were standing there for half an hour and some rich freak comes and they serve him first! That's shallow."

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, those guys fund this university so..."

Oh yeah, Sakura heard it alright. They were apparantly on behalf of some Uchiha family and to top it off,not only the student didn't show up but no one from his family was present except some assistant secretary or whatever.

"But the rule is rule Kakashi.."

She huffed with anger as they rode back towards their home.

Monday was finally here as Sakura gave her appearance a once over in the mirror. She was dressed in black skin tight jeans with red floral top and her usual brown sandals. She have opted for pigtails as few strands of hairs hung loosely on her face. Sakura was never a big fan of makeup plus she couldn't afford to waste her money on such materialistic things and only kept a lip balm with her. She was better than average girl but she sure couldn't hold a candle to those rich girls in her university. Well, who cares about them, she was there to study just all.

She quickly grabbed a piece of cheese sandwich from the kitchen as she saw Kakashi reading his usual smut book by the counter.

"Ahem.."

He almost dropped his book as his cheeks tinted pink with embarrassment of being caught.

"Ugh...you see Sakura I..."

"Leave it Kakashi. You are free to read them as long as I am not present. Anyways I am off now. Wish me luck."

"Best of luck Sakura. Try not to get into much trouble and make some good friends there...perhaps a boyfriend.."

"Alright hold it there. See you later..!"

She shouted as she took off from the house. Kakashi have told her the usual routes and the buses which went there beforehand.

After a ten minutes walk towards the bus station and twenty five minutes ride she finally reached her destination as her bag slung lowly over her shoulder.

She took out the campus map and made her way towards the school of medical sciences, block 15. Sakura gulped slowly as she tried to calm her nerves. She have never been in a huge city before, more so ever the biggest university of Japan. It was a life changing experience for her. A challenge which Sakura was more than ready to overcome.

Too lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear the honking sound of the car behind.

"Hey pinky, move out of the way!"

A shrill voice of the girl broke her out of her trance as she registered her situation and tripped sideways in order to evade the hit of the vehicle. She heard few laughters around her as she blushed and slowly got up. She have scraped her knees probably but other than that she was fine.

She stood up and saw the red sleek car which almost crushed her making its way in the huge parking lot. She saw three more cars following it as they too got into the parking space. There was a lot of commotion around as she noticed many students rushing towards the car. Girls were going insane as they shouted some Sas..what name.

Soon the doors to the other car opened as a blonde haired guy of average height got out. Sakura could practically feel his warm smile radiating all the way here. He was dressed in muscle tight shirt with loose jeans. Girls swooned as they rushed forward and he chirped merrily to them. Next guy was slightly tall than the blonde with his hairs tied in a rugged ponytail. He had a shabby look with rolled up shirt and tight jeans but he was just as handsome as the previous one. He had a lazy smile playing over his lips as he watched with bored look. Next up was a calm looking guy with long hairs like previous one. He donned turtle neck shirt with khaki pants and can be classified as the most sexy man she had ever seen. Sakura could feel herself blushing as she shook those thoughts out of her head.

Finally, the door to the red car opened which had knocked her down as she scowled. Her face however did a 360 when the most gorgeous man ever got out. If the previous one was sexy he was hella more ethereal. His jet black hairs were standing at the back, giving it a chicken butt look. He was the tallest out of the four and have deep onyx eyes which could drown everything in it. He was dressed in grey shirt with black jacket and rugged jeans which accented his muscular form perfectly. He may be the reincarnation of Adonis for all she knew. It must be a sin to be this good looking.

Her eyes almost popped out as she saw him glancing right at her before a small smirk appeared on his face which was illegal for this world. He slowly walked towards her ignoring the dozens of girls swarming around him.

"Hey, Sasuke! Come back please.!"

Sakura had the urge to gag at their pathetic behaviour but found herself frozen to the spot as he neared her.

He stood right in front of her with his hands shoved casually in his pockets. He was towering over her 5'6 frame and Sakura couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Before she could speak however, he took out his wallet and tossed a 1000 note over her face.

"Here, take it. And walk on pavement next time."

The words rolled out smoothly from his mouth as he turned around and walked away as if nothing happened. Sakura blinked few times before she realised what he have done.

"That jerk..."

"Hey Sasuke teme! What were you doing there?.."

"Hn"

"Answer me asshole!"

"Tch!"

"Sasuke Uchiha!"

She breathed out as her fists cletched at her side. This was the jerk who was given the privilege to be served first on their admission day.

'That bastard!'

Sakura slowly picked the note from the ground and darted towards him, eager to give him a piece of his mind.
