For those of you who read my other stories 'I'd Rather Die' or 'Kiss Me Baby, I'm Vaccinated.' You probably realized I never posted the so called 'Alternative Ending.' I decided to leave it as it is, and it's about time that I started another story, so if you're a returning reader or my stories, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Without you guys, I would have probably stopped writing on fanfic, you guys seriously make my day. New story, new plot, hope you enjoy it. By the way, new readers! I update every single day. If there is a day where I don't update it's because of some good reason!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto, I do own this plot.
Chapter 1
Embarrassing mothers, Brittney Spears, and High Speed Chases
X.x.X It's just another morning glory, One more twisted side of this wild ride. Another chapter in the story, but I can't hide the way I feel inside. Cause i'm a stranger in a strange land, and i'm a million miles from my home, If I gotta take my last stand, I wont stand alone. I wont stand alone. X.x.X
"Okay, and make sure you packed undies, and all your makeup for boys you want to impress, don't forget to call me at least six times a day, have your phone on at all times. Don't forget to brush your teeth every night. Please keep an eye on Naruto, I know how he likes looking for trouble. Oh yes and-" I zoned out as my mother spoke. Let me take advantage of this momentary silence to explain my situation.
My name is Sakura Haruno, and I have been cursed with the looks of my mother. The pale skin, the pink hair and green eyes are all I need to remember that...well, i'm a freak. Until recently I've always lived with my mother in Virginia.
I lived with only my mother and that's really the only person I needed. I won't even mention my father. He's not worth it. All you need to know about him is his complete lack of parenting, and that he's a cold hearted bastard that I don't need in my life.
It was time for this girl to leave to college. That's right, the dreaded day for almost all parents. Poor thing, seriously my mom was going out of her mind, she had me packing the most random things incase of emergency.
Seriously, I mean I understand having a first aide kit, and emergency numbers, but why would I need a lamp shade, a men's shaving kit, and a tool box? I don't know what was going through my mothers head, but it was obvious she was over reacting.
The fact that my best friend Naruto and I were both going to the same college only worried my mother more. She knows that I always get into trouble with him, but he makes my life so much more interesting.
Naruto Uzumaki is his name. The same guy who toughened me up after getting treated like shit in my freshman year of high school. I admit, I was such a complete stupid girl during my first few days of high school, of course, in Naruto's eyes, I was a fierce tiger ready to pounce, that was just not ready to come out yet.
Yeah, I agree as well, that is the most pathetic thing that I have ever heard. Turns out he was absolutely correct. After we became friends, we were practically inseparable. We were alike in many ways.
We got ridiculed because we didn't blend in with what society would call 'normal.' I had pink hair, and as quoted by the school newspaper once, 'The biggest forehead mankind's ever seen' and Naruto had an abnormal temper and too much energy, it was only natural that we would both see something in each other that we liked. That would be...
Stupidity.
Seriously, sad, but true. We didn't realize our full potentials until we had a complete pep talk, including, the random triumphant shouts, and rewards for doing absolutely nothing.
That's when I realized the next time any one messed with me, I would send them to an early grave. Sadly, I never actually got around to showing someone my crazy strength. Seriously, i'm not over exaggerating.
I have something Naruto would call 'Superhuman strength.'
Even though Naruto would probably seem extremely annoying to people, I had come to overlook his flaws and instead look at all the positive sides of him.
I mean, Naruto was cute and potential dating material for other girls, not me of course. He had the bluest eyes that you could possibly imagine, he had a head full of blonde hair, that he actually took care of.
Seriously, if you run your hands through his hair it makes you want to just sit down and pet his silky blonde hair all day. He was also about a whole six inches taller then me.
I don't really mind being 5'5', in his eyes he would call me short, but that's just because he likes picking on me.
The fact that we were about to go on the road to go to the great Konoha University for the Gifted in San Diego, just proved my theory that we aren't all that abnormal.
If you want to say we're freaks well, that's just fine...suit yourself, but the fact that we're probably smarter then you makes me want to laugh in your face. So, HA-HA.
After eating about 10 bowls of Ramen, Naruto finally decided he was ready to leave. That's his obsession and weakness, Ramen.
Yeah, I'm talking about noodles, broth, and whatever else you like to put in it, and in Naruto's case that would be every single thing possible.
"Mom, for the last time I've got everything under control." I said exasperated, while Naruto snickered behind me. I ignored him and kept my rage under control.
"So you've got all your underwear and-"
"MOM!" I shouted, covering her mouth with my hand, while I gave a death glare at the laughing Naruto.
"Heh...underwear." Naruto said before he began giggling again.
God, you don't understand what I have to do to deal with him! Every time someone says the words: But, underwear, or duty he'd burst out laughing. I honestly don't know what to do with him at times like this.
"But, Sakura, dear! Come here, give your mother a kiss!" She told me excitedly. I stood there with a bored look on my face as she strode over in her apron, and grabbed my face with her hands, planting a kiss on my forehead.
"I love that you have a bigger forehead Sakura, it makes it easier to plant kisses on your cute face!" She said with a big smile, as she grabbed my cheeks in an attempt to show motherly love. With a scowl on my face, I grabbed her wrists, and as gently as possible, I lowered them from my face.
Naruto tried to hide the permanent smile he had on his face, I know i'm going to get teased about this the moment we leave.
"That's enough mother, I have to go." I said running my hands through my long pink tresses. She smiled curtly at me, and did a soldiers salute. I slapped my forehead.
"Bye, mom." I said turning on my heel, and walking at a very fast pace to my car.
Naruto and I had both pitched in to get a red mustang convertible, so we could at least go out together, while we weren't in classes.
I had to admit, I was really excited to get out into the big bad world, without my mother holding my hand everywhere I went.
When I started the engine of the car, I took one last glance at my mothers sobbing form and rushed out of there as fast as possible, before my mother decided to come running after the car...which would be traumatizing.
The strong wind played with my hair, the blazing sun kissed my skin, and Naruto sang 'I Love Rock 'N' Roll' by Brittney Spears, way off key. I gave him a wide grin, which he returned.
"C'mon Sakura, sing with me! I love rock 'n' roll, so put another dime in the jukebox baby!" He sang happily. I turned up the volume.
"I love rock 'n' roll, so come and take the time and dance with me!" I sang loudly. Naruto looked at me, eyebrows raised.
"Your a good singer Sakura!" He shouted over the wind.
"Yeah, yeah."
For the next few hours we sang our hearts out, and laughed until we couldn't breathe. Even though I had almost ran my car off a bridge and into the ocean, we kept laughing until I noticed the blinking lights, and heard the sirens of a cop.
"Damn it!" I shouted, hitting the steering wheel with my fists. Naruto turned the music down. I pulled over to the curb, as the police car did the same, Naruto had a bewildered look on his face.
"Sakura! I know how to deal with this, hurry switch me spots!" He shouted at me.
I covered my ears in annoyance. He kept rambling on about knowing what to do at critical situations like this, and at the end we climbed over each other, switching seats, before the officer came to the drivers side.
I sat in the passengers seat with a scowl on my face and arms crossed over my chest.
Naruto sat there with a huge toothy smile on his face. When he realized that the cop was a man, his smile disappeared.
"Do you realize that you were going 100 M.P.H at a 35 M.P.H zone?" The officer said with a tinge of impatience. Naruto's eyes seemed to widen, he glanced at me, and mouthed words that were hard to read. I'm sure he had just realized the speed limit I was going, was way over.
Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Well, um, officer..."
"Cortez." The officer finished for him.
"Officer Cortez, you were a teenager once right?"
"Yeah, i'm pretty sure I was." Officer Cortez retorted in a sarcastic manner. Noting how stupid Naruto sounded he looked at me for help.
"You said you could handle it." I mouthed to him.
"License and registration." Officer Cortez commanded. I reached into the glove compartment and took out the cars registration, while Naruto took his license out of a black, leather wallet.
I handed the documents to Naruto, and with the fakest smile possible he handed both over to the officer. With a glance at the document and license, Officer Cortez walked back to his car, to check Naruto's identity and to make sure the car wasn't stolen.
I looked at the black and white car in the rearview mirror. I noticed the officer glancing at the car several times, making sure we were still there.
"Sakura...thinking what i'm thinking?" Naruto said with a snicker. My eyes widened, what was this fool up to now?
"No, i'm not, it's impossible to believe that you, Naruto Uzumaki, could possibly be thinking." I said matter-of-factly. He leaned back in his seat and rolled his eyes at me.
"Sakura, let's leave." He said, as though it meant nothing at all.
"What?" Did I hear right?
"Let's floor it Sakura, and give this guy a high speed chase!" He said pumping his arm in the air. I shifted in my seat to look at him, and grabbed the collar of his white t-shirt.
"Listen here little girl, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to die, and I actually want to go to college, do it and I will drown you in the ocean!" I said menacingly. I heard Naruto gulp in nervousness.
"I was kidding." He said, raising is hands in surrender. I let go of his shirt, sighing in relief. With this guy, I don't know what he's capable of.
After a few minutes, the officer returned and handed back our belongings. He took out a small pad of yellow paper and began scribbling on it furiously. Naruto and I exchanged looks, mine more of a 'you suck' look and his more of a 'Sakura, it was your fault.' look.
"I better not catch you speeding again." The officer said as he handed Naruto the ticket. Officer Cortez walked back to his vehicle, and I couldn't help to hear the string of colorful words that left his mouth while he walked away.
"Great, first day out and we get a ticket." I said frustrated.
"Oh it's not a big deal Sakura!" Naruto shouted gleefully. I gave him a cold stare, and looked up at the sky.
"Naruto...how much money do you think we have?!" I shouted into the sky.
"Uh, a lot?" He said with a questioning look. I pinched him hard on the side of his stomach.
"OW!" He yelped in pain.
"No Naruto, I wish."
& Just like that, our adventure began. Even though we were now college students, we had no idea what we were going to be going through.
I cursed under my breath...
Oh god, we're gonna have one hell of a ride.
