Summary: Sakura was wandering in the forest when something shiny caught her eye. "What the… What's this?" Sakura said looking at the item in her hand. It was just a plain sliver ring. Nothing more. Little did she know that this tiny ring would bring her a major problem in her love life.

A/N: YAY! Made another fic. I think this one will be short. Not too long… I hope. I'm not really sure if there will be a pairing in the end. Who knows! I have to wait and see what's going to happen.
I decided to make this fic because I was reading about rings and it made me think about something I heard… anyway. ENJOY! And if you would be so kind as to leave a review!
Just to let you know, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and everyone else are 15 and chunin. YAY! Sasuke never ran away to Orochimaru so things are still normal. Okay? Got it? Good!
"Speaking"
"Thinking"'Inner Sakura'
Chapter One: What's this?
"Okay you guy's. Training is done for today. See you tomorrow, same time." Kakashi said lazily while taking his favourite book out once again.
"Hope you decided to come ON TIME TOMORROW!" Naruto yelled but no reply came from his sensei that disappeared.
"Geez. He is ALWAYS late. I am sick and tired of it." Whined Naruto.
"I am sick and tired of you. You don't hear me complaining." Sasuke said ever so coolly.
"Shut up Sasuke! Who said I was talking to you?" Came Naruto's hot remark.
"Hn?"
"What the hell does that even mean!" Naruto yelled, making Sakura's patience slowly disappear.
"NARUTO! Would you please just drop it? You're giving me a headache." Sakura exclaimed while rubbing her large forehead.
"It's not my fault. It's all Sasuke-temes." Naruto explained, though Sakura didn't care.
"Whatever. See you guys tomorrow." Sakura said and walked away leaving Naruto and Sasuke to argue.
'FINALLY! I thought we would never get some peace.' Yelled Sakura's inner self.
Meet Sakura Haruno. Your average girl. She was just a 15 year old with pink hair, emerald eyes, and her love life was not something to celebrate about. She still liked Sasuke Uchiha, but was slowly giving up on him. He always ignored her. And she knew he only thought of her as a comrade. Maybe one day she will find her true love. But right now, she would just have to wait.
"Who the hell thought of that!" Sakura yelled to no one in particular. Oh wait. She's yelling at me…
Mi-to-chan: What?
"Seriously. Do you think I WANT to wait?"
Mi-to-chan: Umm… Yeah?
"NO! I want to find someone NOW! I want to know how it feels to have someone." Sakura exclaimed sadly.
Mi-to-chan: Come on. You are not the only one without someone.
"Yes I am! Ino-pig has Shikamaru. Naruto has Hinata! Tenten has Neji. Heck. I bet Akamaru has a girlfriend!"
Mi-to-chan: Well don't blame me. It's your own fault.
"But-"
Mi-to-chan: But nothing… you will just have to live with it.
"But I don't want to!"
Mi-to-chan: What the heck do you want me to do?
"I want you to fix the problem…"
Mi-to-chan: What do I look like to you? I'm not a genie here. I can't just fix your problem.
"But- but- You're the one making this story! Can't you-"
Mi-to-chan: LA LA LA! I AM NOT LISTENING TO YOU! –runs away-
"Pfft. What a lousy writer…"
-cough- OKAY! BACK TO THE STORY!
Sakura continued to walk down the path towards her home slowly.
"No need to rush. It's not like there is someone special waiting for me." Sakura thought sadly.
'Heck yeah. Come on! Do something about it! Look! There's a guy right there by the bench. Go to him and ask him out!' Inner Sakura ranted.
Sakura looked up and saw a guy with brown hair with hazel eyes reading a book. An average hunk I suppose.
"What? Are you crazy? No way! For all we know, he could be a psycho!" 'You don't know that for sure! Now go get him!' Sakura thought for a moment. She started to have second thoughts but it was worth a shot. He didn't look so bad. Sakura took a deep breath and started to walk towards him. She was nearing close to him but he didn't notice her yet. She started to panic. She was a meter away from him, but he still didn't look up. 'How dumb could this guy be? HELLO! Never mind. He's stupid. Lets go.' "Are you kidding me? NO WAY! WE ARE NOT BACKING DOWN NOW!"'Fine. Not my fault is we get stuck with a stupid guy. Your choice.'
Sakura ignored her inner self and continued to stand in front of him. A few moments pasted and he STILL didn't notice her.
Sakura was getting impatient. How would she get his attention? She thought for a while but decided to do what she should have done a while ago.
She coughed.
Immediately he looked up and then smiled.
"Hey baby. Where have you been?" He said while standing up.
Sakura blushed at his remark and gave a small smile.
The guy continued to smile and started to walk in her direction.
'Woah. He is not that stupid after all.' Cheered Inner Sakura.
"Don't just stand there. Come here and give me a hug." Said the guy with arms wide open.
"Is this really happening to me?" Sakura thought happily.
Sakura was going to open her arms but the guy walked past her.
Confused, Sakura turned around to find the guy hugging another girl!
CLANK! Went Sakura's jaw that hit the floor.
"I missed you! Where were you?" He asked the girl in front of him.
"I was around. I missed you too!" giggled the girl and leaned in to give him a kiss.
'EWWW! DISGUSTING! MY EYES ARE SCARRED FOR LIFE! ARE THEY ALLOWED TO DO THAT IN PUBLIC?'
Sakura stared on at the couple and let out a sigh.
The couple broke apart and looked over at Sakura who was still staring.
"Henta, who's that girl staring at us?" asked the girl in his arms.
"I don't know… Hey! Pink-haired girl! What are you looking at?" Henta asked as Sakura snapped out of her dreaming state.
"W-what?" asked a dazed Sakura.
"Do you mind? Your staring is making my girlfriend freaked."
'WHAT? THAT JERK! WHY I OUGHT TO BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THAT GUY! LET ME AT HIM!'
Sakura listened to her inner self and turned evil. "OH YEAH! WELL YOU SHOULDN'T BE KISSING IN PUBLIC WITH THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD TO SEE! GET A ROOM YOU TWO OR I'LL HAVE TO STUFF YOU ONE IN MYSELF!"
Henta and his girlfriend turned pale and ran away. "That girl is crazy!"
"Pfft. serves him right. How dare he talk to me like that!" Sakura turned around and started to walk. Not paying attention to where she was going.
"I should have just tied those two up, stuff them in a potato bag full of infected worms, fire ants, Naruto's dirty socks, and stuff them into a burning closet where there is a bottomless pit…"
----Few Minutes Later----
"…and mice with rabies in the pit that will slowly make a hole in their potato sack which will bite them to get them sick. Then I will laugh evilly while I lock the door, throw away the key and have a victory parade for getting rid of those two... That's doing mankind a favour. I mean, come on! Who needs another lovesick person? Their just a bunch of- wait a second… where the heck am I?"
Sakura looked around and noticed she was deep into the forest.
"This… does not look like my room." Sakura looked up and noticed it was going to be dark soon. "Nice going Sakura… You were supposed to go home. NOT the forest… I guess I should turn back now."
She started to walk back home when something caught her eye.
She looked over to her right and saw something in the ground. Curious, she walked over to the half buried object. She began to dig and discovered a sliver ring.
"What the… What's this?" Sakura looked closer and lifted and eyebrow in confusion. "A sliver ring?"
She studied the round object and saw nothing special about it. It was just a plain sliver ring. Nothing more.
"Hmm… Well, what the heck. I guess I'll keep it. Nothing a little polish won't do."
With one last look she put it in her pocket and jogged back home.
----THE RING----
"Ah. There you go. Good as new."
Sakura studied the ring with a look of satisfaction. She did a pretty good job cleaning it all up.
She smiled and put it on her right middle finger. She stared at it and couldn't help but feel something odd about it. She shrugged and let out a yawn. She looked at the clock and saw it was already 11:40.
"I better get to sleep. I wouldn't want to be late for the meeting tomorrow."
She stood up and got ready for bed.
----11:56----
Sakura got into bed and looked at the ring one last time.
"This day turned out not to be so bad. I may have embarrassed myself in front of people, but if I hadn't, then I wouldn't have found this ring." The sliver band glistened in the moonlight. "Ha. Now all I need is a boyfriend… Anyone…would…do..."
With one last yawn, Sakura fell asleep.
----12:00----
Outside it began to rain. Thunder and lightning joined together to create a storm. Winds began to blow in every direction causing the trees to sway side to side. But Sakura was still fast asleep in a deep slumber. Enjoying her sleep while she can.
With one last look you could see a bright green light coming from under Sakura's covers. Strange. What is up with that ring anyway?
