I don't own Naruto
Chapter 1: New Friends
(Sakura pov)
My name is Sakura Haruno, i am 9 years and live in Konoha with my mom.
"Sakura, sweetheart come on we don't want to be late out otherwise we will miss the parade."
"Coming mommy." i shouted down the stairs, i was stumbling trying to get my shoes on and i ran down the stairs to find my mom waiting with a big smile on her face.
"Come on we don't want to miss it, and afterwards you can go to the park if you would like" my mom said still smiling.
"Sure.." i replied nervously, though i would like to the kids were always mean to me because of my large forehead.
We walked to the main street to watch the parade. The parade was commemorating Konoha's 20 years of being allied with sand. It was always colourful and fun and there were fireworks at night it was my first ever parade and i really wanted to see it.
After the parade all the shops and stalls opened up for lunch, and my mom said she had to go speak to some people and that i could go to the park and stay there until she came and got me.
"Oh look who it is, Hey FOREHEAD" Yelled Ami, the evil bitch who was in my class an the academy. Her cronies were giggling behind her.
"What you doing here forehead this is a NORMAL park shouldn't you be off with the other weirdoes" laughed out Ami.
As Ami walked up to me i cringed and waited for the blow.
and waited..
"Hows about YOU go and find the other WEIRDOES Ami, after all if this is a NORMAL park then you definitely shouldn't be here." i looked up to see a blonde girl defending me, no one ever did that before. AMi humphed and left, thank god.
"Hey my names Ino, what's yours" the girl named Ino said to me.
"It's Sakura" i said shyly.
she grinned and grabbed my arm pulling me along.
"I'm your new friend got it if they try and give you any grief i'll handle 'em"
"Why?"
"Cuz that's what friends do for each other, do they do that a lot?"
"Yes"
"Why"
"My forehead"
"What's wrong with it?"
"Big"
"Huh it's doesn't seem that big" she said, the carried on after a bit.
"Yano you don't talk much"
"I know"
"Well ya should hey are you gonna go to the Ninja academy?"
"My mommy won't let me"
"OMG more than two words" she said jokingly "Well just speak to her about it and ask her until she says yes, i'm going"
"hmm"
"Look i'll meet back up with ya here tonight at like 9 if that's alright"
"But i can't my mommy won't let me"
"Sneak out it's simple anyway i gotta go seeya Kura"
"But.." i started to say but she had already gone.
Later that night
"Night mommy"
"Night Sweetheart"
i Walked to my room intending to get back dressed and sneak out the window i was really nervous i'd never done this before. I dressed in my black top and shorts, locked my door and climbed out the window and onto the tree outside. I ran to the park and waited for Ino. It was now 10 o'clock and Ino hadn't showed. The fireworks were going off and they were really pretty but i decided that i'd better go.
As i was on my way i bumped ino someone and fell down, i looked up and saw Ami.
"Well well well if it isn't forehead, haven't got a body gaurd with ya this time have ya." as she was saying this i was moving backwards getting ready to run. She picked up a rock and my eyes widened when she went to throw it i closed my eyes and then reopened them, Ami's eyes were wide open with fear looking somewhere behind me. The strangest thing though was that the rock was in between us was being held us by swirling sand, the same sand that was swirling around Ami's feet. Then i heard it.
"Go away, Leave this girl alone and never bother her again." the voice was filled with so much venom i would thought it was a snake but ofcourse snakes don't talk. Ami ran, the rock dropped and i heard footstops behind me and i froze.
"Hey are you alright?" a boy came into view, he looked about my age, he had red hair and a love kanji on his forehead, he had aqua eyes, i blushed at how close he was.
"I'm fine, thank you for that." I said nervously.
(Gaara's pov)
"No problem" I said, i had to admit this girl was cute, i had already been told about how Shukaku would find the perfect mate for me i just didn't realize it would be so soon. I mean come on i was 9 for fucks sake.
tut tut tut gaara you shouldn't say things like that
oH shut up you pain in the arse why now
hehehe she's cute when she blushes you do realize you should ask her name before she leaves.
He was right i focused again to find her telling me she should be going, so i grabbed her arm.
"What's your name?"
"Sakura, what's yours?"
"Garra, i'll walk you home sakura i don't want you getting hurt." god since when do i sound this weird
Since she's your mate and you'd better mark her otherwise i'm gonna annoy you to hell
Got it, i'll do it when we get back to hers
.
NO DON'T EVEN SAY IT NOT LIKE THAT YOU PEREVRT
"Thank you Gaara-kun" she said i was shocked no one had ever added THAT suffix before.
We got back to hers and i said don't be scared close your eyes, she did and i warped us into her room using my sand. I removed the gourd and set it aside. She sat on her bed and looked at me.
"Gaara-kun are we friends?"
"Sakura i don't know why?"
"Cuz i'd like to be, you're the only person who's been genuinally nice to me in forever"
"Then we are Sakura-chan" and she smiled and jumped up and hugged me. i instinctively wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged back. I was nervous, i was never nervous, so i took her arms from around me, sat her on the bed and sat next to her.
"Sakura would you mind if i gave you a reminder of me"
"No gaara, i wouldn't mind" she smiled.
"I need you to lie back and close your eyes"
"o...k" she seemed scared so i tried to be as soft as possible i put my thumb in her mouth.
"Bite down as hard as you want if this hurts" and then i ordered my sand to carve my love kanji onto the left side her forhead. when i was done she looked up at me and went to touch it but i stopped her and told her it'd just hurt more.
"Get some sleep, i will see you again." and left.
