This is a tale of love, hate, and blood between family and enemies.
Chapter One:
*SFX: Phone alarm going off *
" Sakura wake up " Her mother shook gently as her alarm was noisily blaring on her bedside table. She groaned and yawned
"Mmmm five more minutes" stretching herself and then buried herself under the covers again.
"Sakura, now!" her mother said sternly.
"Okayyyyyy" she said a little irritated as her green eyes open to see the woman before her, and then headed to the bathroom to get ready, she looked at herself and noticed the bags under her eyes, she barely slept last night a little anxious of how today will pan out, she turned to the shower and turned on the faucets and let her hand rinse it until the water warmed and she slipped in. Sakura used most of her time in the shower to think, she worked the soapy loofah over her body and sighed, she didn't want to start a new school but her grandfather insisted, she took a step into the water letting the soap slide over her body into the drain. After showering she got herself ready putting makeup on her face to cover how actually tired she was and put her new school uniform on, she inspected herself she nodded to herself and made her way to the dining room.
"Morning" Sakura greeting her mother who was sitting quietly sipping tea and her father nowhere to be seen
"Where is Father?" She enquired to her mother
"Sakura, you know that your father has other things to do than to bother himself with us"
Sakura pursed her lips and reached and grabbed some toast and slathered butter and jam on it, knowing full well her father is sleeping off his hangover. It has been 2 years since her older brother Kano, was shot, and since then her father has become an abusive drunk. She looks up seeing an older gentleman walk into the dining room an older version of her father, she smiled seeing her grandfather has joined them, she stood up and bowed to him greeting him, sitting back down she took hold of her glass and drank her juice before sitting up and bowing to them both and goes up to her room and grabbed her things for class, she heard a knock on the door
"Enter" she called out
" Haruno-sama, the car is ready" the Butler said before holding the door open for her, Sakura grabbed her bag and thanked the butler before making her way down the staircase again and out the front door,the driver held the door open for her and she slid in, feeling the cool leather on the back of her thighs, she looks out the window and sighed as the car took off from the house. The ride to school was quiet she played on her phone a little and then looked up seeing her old school they drive past. She wanted to go to Kahona private as long as she can remember but her father always told her a public classroom is just as good as a private. Her phone buzzed and looked at it and smiled seeing her friends Shikamaru and Temari sending her good luck wishes, replying to her message the car came to a halt, breathing out and looking out the window she thanked the driver and slid out of the car and walked through the gate.
Kahona Private was the largest school, Sakura impressed with how well the gardens are kept and looked around, she headed towards the office where she grabbed her papers and walked to her classroom.
The classroom was abuzz with chatter when Sakura entered in and placed her paper on the teacher's desk
"AAAIIIEEEEEEEE" a screech came from one of the students and she noticed her immediately as she came running towards her arms wide open.
"Hey Ino" she smiles and hugged the girl
"You didn't tell me you were coming to Kahona private!" Pulling back and smirks
"Yeah well, it was a last minute decision, considering this is our senior year my grandfather thought I should get the best ... " Sakura attention was averted when she saw a dark-haired boy walk in and pass the girls. Her heart skipped a beat and she got butterflies in her stomach, she looks back at Ino and she shook her head
"That's Sasuke Uchiha, remember you guys are sworn enemies!" She whispered and then took her hand
"huh?" Sakura faced her friend.
"Let go to our seat!" Ino smiled nervously and lead her to her desk and then sat down, Sakura looked behind her, looking at the Uchiha boy his eyes were covered by his bangs and he sat back in his chair and arms folded.
"Ok ok ok you lot be quiet" the teacher Iruka-sensei walked in and setting his books down
" Today we have a new class member, Haruno, Sakura" he guested for her to stand up, in which she did, she looked around seeing a few faces she recognized and most she didn't before sitting down and waited for the class to begin.
Lunch was her saving grace, after hours of hearing Iruka-sensei talk and talk and talk, she sat down with Ino and watched the hustle and bustle of the cafeteria
" Hey, Ino who is this?" A girl sat down with long dark hair and lavender eyes, along with spiky haired blonde with her
"Naruto, Hinata this is Sakura Haruno we wen-"
"Excuse me" Hinata bowed at Ino and took her tray and set it at another table
"What the hell?" Ino look at Naruto and then watched him follow suit, Sakura hung her head and sighed
"They can't sit with me because of this silly feud between their families and mine, it's ok Ino, go sit with your friends I'm used to being alone anyway" Ino looked to her and sighed placing a hand on her back before taking her tray and going to her friends. Sakura looked back seeing them looking at her and then seeing them avert their gaze. She looked down at the food and then sighed she lost her appetite, Standing up she walked out of the cafeteria and walked to the school gym where she sat on the grass nearby the complex and looked around her surroundings, she sighed a little and took out her phone sending Temari a message
'I hate this place already, they let a silly feud define them… it's disgusting, I'm going to ask to come back, I'm done.' she hit the send button and then heard the bell to go back into class she didn't see Sasuke walking back to class, he noticed the pinkettes hair and walked up behind her.
"You know you should heading back to class, plus you don't have anyone to protect you when you're out here Haruno" Sakura turned her head quickly and saw the raven haired boy behind her, she got up and stood in a defensive pose, he came close to her and grabbed her wrist with lightning speed.
"Come on, I'll walk you back to class " tugging on her wrist, Sakura blushed a little feeling her heart race from his touch, she snapped out of her daze and then pulled her arm from his grip aggressively, but he only tightened it around her delicate wrist.
"Let go of me you asshole, it's not like you give a fuck about my education, at the end of the day, you and I are blood enemies! Your brother-"
"My brother did not kill yours, it was a rogue member of our family," he said flatly pulling on her arm so she would follow him he sat her down on a bench where he sat down with her still holding her wrist and looked at her softly
"What if I said I'm over this feud between our families, what if I told you that your father is the main reason why our clans keep clashing, with his unauthorized visits in our district, making death threats and attempts to murder us one by one, what happened to your brother was your father's fault. Your brother was a regular to our household and he spoke to us about taking over the family, help create peace and treated us with respect. Which is more than what Kizashi has ever done, he heard that Kano was going behind his back and put a hit out on him, we caught wind of it and our leaders told us not to do it, but we heard that he was killed not long after that and it wasn't long until we found out who the culprit was." his expression hardened and then looked up at the sky
"Let's just say we dealt with him" he smirked, Sakura sat there and blinked a few times and then shook her head in disbelief.
"Tch, what a load of bullshit" she scoffed
"Why would my father lie about something like that? He has been a raging alcoholic since the funeral" still in a little disbelief from Sasuke's story
"To live with the guilt that he killed his only son" Sasuke replied and looked back at her and then getting off the bench and started to lead her back to the classroom, she had so many questions swimming in her head but the one that stood out the most was, why.
Before they reached to the classroom, she pulls her arm back breaking his grip and then she watched him turn his head and scowled at her when she went towards the lockers and unlocked hers
"What are you doing?" The boy said gritting his teeth
"Home, I need to go home and get some answers," she said pulling her bag out of her locker and started to walk away.
"Bye Uchiha" giving him a short wave and walked out of the door.
