Emerald Song

Sakura finds a poem written about her that someone accidentally dropped. As she discover's someone's view of her, will her perspective of certain people change? (summary sucks I know, please R&R) (Naru-Saku pairing, oneshot)

AN: Here's my attempt to write a Naru-Saku oneshot that also incorporates some poetry. Sasuke haters, rejoice, for there will be bashing tonight!

Also, don't mind the little attempts at humor I may put it once in a while; I was feeling playful when I wrote this. Please R&R

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and with fillers not having any ending in sight, I'm somewhat glad about it.

At 2:00 in the afternoon, Konoha felt like a miniature hell to Haruno Sakura. The pink-haired teen used her glove to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

And despite what Ino-pig said, it didn't take all that long to do.

Sakura had just recently freed herself from a particularly fierce screaming match with her rival, using the trusty "The Hokage wants to train me right now." excuse that almost always shut other people up.

It was no secret that the Godaime hated to be kept waiting.

Sakura chuckled, musing on how odd it was that such an impatient person could be known for summoning slugs, of all things. They might be ninja slugs but they still were disgusting little creatures.

Wait….it was odd enough in itself that there even were ninja slugs, wasn't it?

Sakura pondered the concept behind a ninja that was unable to lift itself off the ground, nor go anywhere without leaving behind a slimy trail.

It didn't make any sense to begin with, and it still didn't even now.

But, they seemed somewhat useful as spies, so the teenager simply shrugged and began to look for something to do.

If anyone asked her why she wasn't actually training with the Hokage, Sakura had a ready-answer of, "The Hokage got drunk and passed out on her desk."

Again, this easily answered such a question.

Everyone knew that the only two people stupid enough to wake up a passed out Tsunade were a certain perverted sannin, and his blonde loud-mouth student.

Sakura paused for a second, as the thought of her team mate crossed her mind again.

However

It happened to be that exact second when said blonde ran full on into her, not looking where he was going.

"Sorry Sakura-chan, but you'll understand why I need to run in a sec!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted over his shoulder, never breaking stride. And while Sakura began grinding her teeth in annoyance, she secretly rejoiced slightly, though for a rather unusual reason.

Wow, I'm in such good condition that Naruto didn't even slow down after knocking me down!

"Naruto!" She screamed in exasperation, "Get back here so I can kick your ass!"

Sakura was in for another surprise as her voice happened to echo another's, as the even earlier mentioned frog sannin himself knocked her down like a professional football player.

Once again, she was on the ground.

Groaning in annoyance, the pink-haired girl wondered how many times she was going to get knocked to the ground today.

She slowly got back to her feet, planning to clobber both the white-haired pervert and his annoying pupil until neither could walk straight.

She smiled, as she gleefully began to count all the bones she wanted to break in Naruto's body. (A.N.: eh, she's had a rough day; I'd be like that too) and took a step.

Before falling flat on her face.

Not even bothering to move before complaining this time, Sakura merely opened her mouth and screamed as loud as she could into the dirt.

To bystanders, it would have looked like a helicopter was landing there, blowing all the loose soil away.

She was a freakin' NINJA for crying out loud!

Ninja's aren't supposed to fall down three times in 30 seconds without a damn good reason.

Suddenly, a small piece of paper floated into her line of vision. She realized absent-mindedly that she must have slipped on said piece of paper.

Grabbing it out of the air, Sakura planned to make damn sure that this piece of paper never bothered anyone again, when the writing on both sides caught her eye.

Perhaps it wasn't that there was writing on both sides, as much as what was actually written.

As Sakura began to read the previously very-close-to-becoming-a-million-shreds piece of paper, her eyes widened, and she held her hand over her mouth.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, I'm evil to end this in such a cliffhanger, bwahahaha..ha.ha.

…

Well crap, now I hate myself for ending this part like this.

Read the next part if you want to find out what Sakura found on the piece of paper.
