Hi everyone. Hope ya like this fic. Dunno what else to say.
SUMMERY: Sakura Haruno has to move to a new house, live in a new town, and attend a new school. Not only that, but she has to deal with her two new stepbrothers, Naruto and Konohamaru. How will she survive the madness? VERY AU! Although I will try to keep the characters as in-character as possible.

This Really, REALLY, sucks.
Chapter One – Pancakes = Scarred for Life.
xXxXxXxXxXxXx
Sakura Haruno walked out of her bedroom, and down the stairs of her small, three-bedroom house. She walked into the kitchen to see her cousin Ten Ten sat at the table. Her mother was making pancakes for breakfast and Ten Ten was grinning ear to ear.
"What is up with you?" Sakura stated as she sat at the table next to her cousin.
"Your mom only makes pancakes when she has something to say that might scar us for life." Ten Ten mused.
"That may be so, but nothing she has said so far has scarred me." Sakura replied.
"What about the time she told you that she was getting a divorce from your dad?" Ten Ten questioned. Sakura blinked.
"So?" She answered.
"Or the time she told you she was having another baby?" Ten Ten again questioned. Said baby, Moegi, who was twelve, was sat on the other side of the table glaring.
"So?" Sakura once again replied. Glaring at her cousin a little now.
"Or the time she said she was dating your teacher?" Ten Ten questioned again.
"ENOUGH ALREADY!" Sakura yelled. Earning her an evil grin from Ten Ten.
"So what if my mother has a tendency to scar me for life by making pancakes, at least I can enjoy the pancakes can't I?" Sakura hissed. Ten Ten didn't answer, merely smirking at her cousin. Moegi rolled her eyes and waited for the bombshell they were about to have dropped on them.
Sakura's mother smiled serenely and Sakura got the terrible feeling that whatever her mother was going to say would probably make her angry.
"Well girls, you three know Iruka-san right?" Ten Ten rolled her eyes and so did Sakura.
"Of course we do Mom you talk about him all the time and you've been going out with him for about two years now. We have met him before." Sakura said sarcastically.
"How could we not know the oh-so-great Iruka Umino? After all Auntie Kimiko, you brag about how wonderful he is all the time and never hesitate to bring him here when he's in town." Ten Ten replied. Also sarcastically, but more nicely then Sakura, who looked rather annoyed.
Kimiko Haruno placed a plate of Pancakes in front of each of the girls while she spoke.
"Well… he asked me to marry him and I said yes." Kimiko said happily. Sakura's jaw dropped.
"WHAT?" Sakura and Ten Ten both yelled. Moegi just stared, wide-eyed at her mother.
"Mom, does that mean Iruka is going to live here?" Moegi asked. Sakura and Ten Ten waited with baited breath for the answer.
"No we're going to go and live with him." Kimiko said. Her voice sounded wary at this point. Moegi's eyes grew wider and she started to wail.
"Oh don't worry Moegi, sweetie. You'll love Iruka's house and the school is lovely." Kimiko cooed.
"Oh and did you think that maybe we didn't want to move?" Sakura spat. She stormed out of the kitchen (the pancakes were long gone) and upstairs to her room. Ten Ten followed. She knocked on the (very) recently slammed door.
"Sakura?" Ten Ten called.
"Come in." Ten Ten heard the muffled reply. Ten Ten opened the door, to see Sakura lying on the pink bedspread of her bed. Ten Ten and Sakura had to share the small bedroom ever since, Ten Ten's parents had died. Ten Ten was also partial to the colour pink. The small bedroom was a cherry blossom pink. There were bunk beds in the corner. Sakura was on the bottom bunk, lying on a cherry-blossom pink duvet cover. Ten Ten's bed was the top bunk, with a rose pink cover. Sakura wasn't crying, she wasn't sad, she was angry.
"Sakura, you don't exactly like school here. Neither do I. It might not be so bad to live in Iruka's house." Ten Ten tried to comfort her cousin. Even though she teased her cousin often, Ten Ten saw Sakura as her closest friend and confidante.
"But I like living here I don't want to go and live in some quiet little town like Konoha. My dad dying last year was bad enough. I don't need to move away from my home." Sakura snarled.
"Maybe but if your mom is happy and this guy isn't so bad, maybe a new start won't be so bad either." Ten Ten said quietly. Sakura calmed down a little.
"Maybe, but that doesn't mean that I have to like the way my mother didn't even discuss this with us." Sakura said. Ten Ten shrugged.
"Fine with me I'll just sit back and watch the fireworks. So long as I get my own room I'm cool." Ten Ten said. Sakura grinned.
"Oh yeah let me guess, one with a view, and a balcony to look at it from." Sakura stated. Ten Ten grinned.
"Forget the view, the balcony would be good for sneaking in and out of the room when I want." Ten Ten said. Both girls started laughing and decided to get dressed for school. Sakura and Ten Ten both had to wear the blue and white school uniform. This consisted of a blue, pleated skirt, blue blazer, white shirt, blue cravat, white socks and black shoes. Sakura's shoulder length pink hair was held out of her face by a blue headband, Ten Ten had her hair tied in its usual style. Two Chinese buns, it was just tied with blue ribbons, that matched the school dress code. They went downstairs, to see Moegi dressed in a pink calico dress, white short-sleeved shirt and white shoes. Her hair tied in pigtails like usual. Sakura glared at her mother.
"We'll discuss this more when you get back from school girls. Remember to pick Moegi up from the junior school." Kimiko said quietly. Sakura and Ten Ten grabbed their school bags and beckoned to Moegi to come. She jumped up from her seat, and grabbed her own bag, and rushed to join her older sister and cousin on the journey to school. Sakura only had one thought in her head as she stepped out of the door.
"Mom making pancakes really does mean my mind being scarred!"

O.K. everyone I hope you liked this chapter. This is an alternate universe fic. It's VERY alternate universe. And I'm kinda going with their ages in Shipuuden here (so Sakura is fifteen, and Ten Ten is sixteen). Sakura and Ten Ten are cousins because I say so. Moegi is Sakura's sister because I say so. Iruka and Sakura's mom are the same age and like each other because it works in the plot. I don't know Sakura's mom's name so I called her Kimiko because it's a Japanese name and I think it's cool. Naruto and Konohamaru are brothers and will be living with Iruka. Other characters WILL be introduced throughout the fic, and I have NOT decided any pairings. Probably because I like the idea there may be some Neji/Ten Ten. Still I'm not decided about it yet. Any other questions please R&R and tell me and I will get back to you.
