I do not own Naruto in any way shape or form.

My Brave Teishu…..

By: K.O.

"itai, itai" slowly an eight year old little boy, with light brown hair studied his hand. He quickly thrust his hand into the face of a five year old pink haired little girl, standing in front of him. Slowly dangling from his index finger was a small brown lizard.

"Go on joji pull it off, it won't bite…..much" the boy muttered under his breath. The little girl slowly took a half-step forward, not really sure if she should get much closer. Attentively she lifted her little hand to touch the offending thing.

"joji, he won't Really hurt you"

Seven Years later

He never looked at me, well not really any way. I don't really think he wanted a girl on the team any way. Apart from the "Yo" I received as a greeting and the times he explained Justus to us. He really never talked to me; he hardly even looked my way. His nose was always in that little orange book except for when he looked up at something the boys were doing, or just looked around. I went home every night after training and practiced hard, I was always on time. (Not that he was ever there to see) All I really wanted was to be praised, noticed, just like he did for naruto and sasuke. But ever morning when we met again, he always praised naruto. I would just get a smile, not even that since I couldn't even see his face. But the times that he did compliment me with "You did good, sakura." It maid me feel warm and happy. My mother never really got the reason why I was so happy when I mastered a new justu. Father just listens to my stories, then he'd………….

"Oi! SAKURA-CHAN" Naruto yelled unaware that the pink haired kunoichi had other thoughts on her mind, namely that today was a special day and not a happy special one ethier. Naruto had just barely missed the senbon that wizzed past his blond locks, to implant itself in to the tree behind him.

"Oi! SAKURA-CHAN WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" with a pleading look, naruto turned his head up to the same tree that sakura's senbon had hit.

"ne, Kaka-sensei Sakura-chan is acting just like sasuke-teme, did he finally dump her?"

Naruto just dogged the rain of senbon by a fraction of an inch, as they implanted into the tree again. Naruto with his hands over his head turned around to survey the damage with a quicker of his eyebrow. Slightly impressed with the way all the senbon had aligned themsleves in a neat line right up the trunk of the tree, to were kakashi-sensei was sitting. Kakashi seeing as how he was now not going to be able to finish his book, looked down from the branch he was currently on. "Sakura-chan, I don't think hitting an unarmed tree is very fair." Sakura turned her back to the two and crossed her arms "I wasn't…….I missed."

At this naruto paled a fraction, how could his sweet sakura-chan be so cold, she was always happy. Her smile always made him smile, even if it wasn't directed towards him. But today, today, his sakura-chan was acting just like the teme, I big block of moody ice. It was quit unnerving, seeing the usually happy go-lucky girl act just like sasuke. Except teme would usually ignore him, or make some sort of stupid comment about how stupid or loud he was, not trying to kill him. Naruto and Kakashi just watched as Sakura walked away from the training filed.
