"Sweetie? You're going to be late again."
"Mmhm," the teen replied, pulling a bobby-pin out of her mouth. "I'm aware of that, mom. But I know I'm definitely late when I hear Ino's screaming." She said, giving her mom a nice smile before stretching.
"Okay…oh! You're kendo suit is ready by the door, so grab it! And you need a new uniform soon. That one is getting a little small, you know."
Sakura looked down to see that what her mother said was true. She hasn't really had time to scrutinize it. The skirt was….a bit high, and the shirt…a bit high also. And the color's were fading from constant use and washing.
"I guess I do….I'll talk to my homeroom teacher today. If I can just buy it at the front offices, I'll bring some money tomorrow."
"Bring some today, just in case." Her mom said, putting some folded laundry on Sakura's bed. "Now, you should go! It's 7:30 already."
"Ok, then!"
Sakura rushed out the door, and was greeted by two loud certain blondes.
"Sakura-chan!"
"Hey, forehead! This loser followed me." Ino said. Her very light hair was pulled into a pony-tail, and long bangs covered half of her face. She was pointing a thumb at the boy next to her.
"Ino! I did not! Ready Sakura?"
"As ready as I ever will be, Naruto."
"Neh, Sakura…," Naruto started after a few minutes of small talk and chuckles together.
"Hm?"
"You heard about that new gang around? Some 'outcast freak' moved in the suburbs a few weeks ago, coming to our school. Me and the boys heard he was a killer."
Sakura frowned. She didn't like it when Naruto brought up things about gangs. Getting Naruto out of the gang issue he was in took a heavy toll on her and her other friend, Sasuke.
"Naruto…,"
"D-Don't worry, Sakura-chan! This isn't about me! I'm just worried about you."
"Why me?"
"….from back then."
Sakura almost stopped. But she forced her legs to keep moving. "It's fine. I'm sure they didn't hear about it."
Naruto hesitated before saying, "I know Sasuke can take care of himself. But you need to watch yourself."
With that, Naruto stopped talking until they reached their high-school's gates. The sign read: Okinawa City Central High School.

Almost 2 years ago, a 15 year-old Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha stood back-to-back in a dark alley off a quiet city road. Two apartment complex's loomed above them to their left and right. They were surrounded."You think you can take him back, can't you?" A dark figure chuckled.
"You're gonna havta' go through me first, pretty." Another one hissed, slouching over.
"Over my dead body," Sasuke's smooth, confident voice informed.
"I'd love to comply," another raged, twisting a knife in his hand, light flashing venomously off of its reflective surface.
"Touch us, and you're dead." Sakura said, voice cracking.
This brought extreme laughter to all the person's around her. "Listen, sweet-cheeks, you ain't got half the strength to take even one of us out."
Sakura smirked. Then lifted the machine gun. "I'm sure this does."
Click.
The sound of screaming and heavy gun-fire filled the quiet block as Sasuke and Sakura quickly killed the most ruthless gang in southern Japan.
When the two were done wiping the smeared blood off of their faces, they walked toward the sound of police sirens that broke though the silence of the shadowed city surrounding them.
