Beep…Beep…Beep

A small pale hand reached out beneath a mound of multicolored blankets and picked up the blaring clock. Without bothering to look where to throw it, the clock was flung against the wall.

Smash!

Two amber eyes opened at the sound of metal and plastic hitting the wall that separated her from her sister's room. The owner of the eyes blinked before sitting up in her bed. She was beautiful. She had long, raven black hair that fell in straight drapes until they hit the bed and turned into pools around her. Her skin was pale, similar to moonlight, and was practically flawless, besides for a small scar that ran across her left collar bone. Her face held a mask of calmness that went well with the shape. Her lips were a pale pink, not too rosy but not the same pale shade of her skin.

Pulling her self out of bed to stretch, a yawn escaped her. Arching her back, some of the smooth skin of her flat stomach showed slightly. Unlike some girls that dieted all the time to get toothpick thin, she was muscular, almost having a six pack, the muscles could be seen if you took a long hard look at her tummy. She had strong legs and arms, which helped her a lot. Finishing her stretch, she moved to her closet and began rummaging around in her closet for cloths to wear.

Smash!

A guy glanced over to his closed door as the clock slammed against something in the room across from his. He raised a nonexistent eyebrow and shook his head lightly. The guy was hot. Like…hot. Kinda scary though. His eyes were light sea foam green color that was outlined in black, dark circle's from his insomnia. On his forehead, above his right eye was a blood red tattoo which was the word 'love' in Kanji. His fluffy dark red hair stuck up in all directions, a sign that he had just gotten up. After a moment of staring at the door he sighed, got up, and started to get dress.

Smash!

A groan came from a lump underneath the mound of blankets. Shifting out of the blankets, a pink long haired girl appeared. She was pretty, her skin a creamy pale color. It went well with her light pink hair, which was natural. The two light colors made her emerald eyes popped out. Her forehead was a bit larger than some, when she was younger she used to get made fun of because of it, but she had mostly grown into it. Kicking the rest of the blankets off of herself she jumped out of bed, grumbling about her cluttered floor. She tried making it to her closet without falling, clumsy as she was, she didn't make it. She ended up tripping over a pile of clean cloths and landed on her face, a squeak made its way out of her throat.

After laying there for a good minute, the pinkette pushed herself to her feet and continued her trek, which wasn't far, to her closet. Once arriving, she pulled out a uniform that went along with her school. It was a dark green plaid skirt, white dress shirt, dark green plaid tie, and a navy blue blazer with a leaf on the left breast. She could wear anything on her feet if she wanted but she went with simple white knee high socks and black ballet flats. Sighing to herself she started to get ready.

"Sakura…" Glancing up from her spot in front of her body long mirror, the pinkette looked at the doorway to see her twin brother standing there. His red hair was still a mess but it appeared he had patted it down so that it looked like it was styled to be messy, not that he didn't care enough to do something to it. He was wearing the boy's uniform to their school, dark green plaid pants and a white dress shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows. It appeared that his blazer and tie had gone missing. The frown on his face told me that he wasn't to happy to be going to school. She wasn't either but she wouldn't let it show. There was no reason for me to complain. It would only trouble others too much.

"Sakura we can tell Kat about what's going on. She'll transfer us or-" He continued. Kat stood for Katherine, their older sister who takes care of them since their mum ran away and well their dad…they can never really get him back. The two of them don't mind though, Kat is probably the best sibling in the world to have. She can be a bit over protective but besides that she is great to hang out with.

"Gaara, I assure you everything is fine." The pinkette assured him with the brightest smile she could manage. He looked unconvinced but it seemed that she had made him drop the subject…for today anyways.

"Let's go then. Kat's making us breakfast and then we have to go to school." He told her, disappearing from the doorway.

"Hey wait up!" Sakura whined and skipped after him, tripping a few times but never face planting, for once. He was at the bottom of the stairs when she reached him and with out hesitating she glomped him from the top of the stairs. Needless to say she had successfully knocked Gaara over and was laying on him giggling her head off when a glanced up.

"Oh hey Kat…"

After getting dressed into a pair of black skinny jeans and a plain white v-neck, the black haired teen made her way to the first floor of our house. She could hear the twins getting ready, ignoring the thump that came from Sakura's room. She figured the pinkette just tripped over something…again. She swore that Sakura was the clumsiest person she has ever met. She comes home with bruises all the time claiming to trip and run into things a lot. To tell the truth her excuses didn't sound like the truth at all. Kat could tell, by how she acted when she inspected the bruises, that she was hiding something. Deep in her gut, which she could only wish was wrong; the answer could only be some sort of bullying.

Sighing to herself quietly she started to make toast, nothing too fancy because she was waiting to pick up her pay check from work after school. The toast had just popped up when the crash was heard. Loud noises weren't uncommon, especially with a pink haired affectionate girl who was extremely clumsy and tended to fling herself at her siblings.

Leaving the toast behind, Katherine walked over to the stairs where she saw the cause of the loud noise. Lying on top a groaning red head was a grinning Sakura, giggling like there was no tomorrow. Raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms, she waited to be seen, which didn't take long.

"Oh hey Kat…" The pinkette squeaked. Kat stared at her a moment before sighing and shaking her head.

"Why on earth would you attack your brother from the top of the steps?" She finally asked the pinkette, watching as the red head rolled over so that he was laying on the pinkette.

"Hey!" she squeaked in protest before shoving her brother off and hopping up. Gaara raised another non existent eyebrow.

"What? You started it." He teased before walking into the kitchen. Sakura pouted a moment before following him.

Katherine watched the two go, eyes soft before they hardened. Something was going on with them, Sakura was being excited but it seemed a little forced and Gaara was actually teasing her. Narrowing her amber eyes at the doorway, she decided to drill it out of them after work that day, no matter how tired she was. Licking her pale lips, Kat walked back into the kitchen, a small frown in place.

When she entered she was met with the sight of Gaara and Sakura fighting over the nutella. A smile immediately spread across her lips, even if it was small.

"Give me the chocolate goodness Gaara!" Sakura growled, tugging the plastic container closer to her self.

"No way" Her twin snorted in response. Sakura hissed, yes hissed, and leant over, trying to gnaw on her brother's wrist.

"Stop acting like Mafuyu!" Gaara snapped, letting go of the chocolate spread. Mafuyu was one of Katherine's best friends. Honestly, everyone thinks she is a ninja. She can do incredible things but she denies being one, leading to more suspicion of her actually being one. She was anything but sane, or at least that's what the Harunos thought. She was a genius though, an insane genius.

"I learn from the best" Sakura simply replied, giggling as she skipped over to the table to spread the sweet spread on her toast. Gaara just grumbled and took his toast over to her.

Katherine smirked at the sight, the twins side by side. Her amber gaze softened and she let out a soft laugh. Gaara was almost half a foot taller than Sakura and seeing them side by side just made her day. Well, she was one to talk, being six foot in height. The twins turned around at her laugh and immediately two smiles spread across their lips before Gaara checked the time.

"Ah, we have to go." He muttered, narrowing his eyes slightly. Sakura blinked and checked the stove for the time, eyes widening at the numbers.

"Aw man we do! Bye Kitten!" She practically shrieked, running to the door and slipping her shoes on before jogging out. Gaara followed, sliding into his black vans. Before he left he glanced over his shoulder at Kat's relaxed figure.

"We'll be careful." He promised her before shutting the door behind him. Kat blinked slightly, before frown, eyes narrowing again. Despite what he had promised, to her, it didn't sound like he was too sure.

Lunch Time

Sakura crept around the corner, books clutched to her chest, as she looked side to side. Finding no threat she scurried into the cafeteria. It was crowded, kids swarming around. Normally she wouldn't have entered the cafeteria at all but she had forgotten to snag a drink before leaving the house. She was only sneaking so that the kids that bullied her wouldn't notice but…who wouldn't notice a pink haired girl? Getting in line quickly, she bought milk for a drink before turning to leave. She was fleeing like a bird from a cat, as fast as she could through the crowded cafeteria.

Sadly she wasn't fast enough.

"Where do you think you're going?" An all too familiar voice called from behind her. Sakura froze, panic stricken. She slowly turned to look at the sight that awaited her. There, standing in all their glory, were the popular kids, a.k.a. her bullies. The groups consisted of the following:

Sasuke is the leader of the group. He is one of those guys that always has a different girl in bed. He's a complete jerk face that never seems to talk much.

Naruto is the leader's best friend. He participates in bullying, but it seems like he's a subject to peer pressure. Sakura used to actually be close friends with him.

Ino is probably the biggest girly girl ever. Platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, she just screams Barbie. She's a mean one as well though Sakura thinks it was the influence of Karin. Before Sakura and her used to be best friends but that isn't the case now.

Karin is the definition of a whore, slut, and a total bitch. She's the meanest of the mean. She's also the ugliest. She is the one who made Sakura an outcast to her friends, pitting them against her. She's also the one that bullies her the most.

Hinata is a princess. Sakura knows she doesn't like bullying her but is afraid if she goes against Karin then she will end up bullied. She's usually quiet and blushes a lot but is kind none the less.

Ami is Karin's bitch. She does everything the red head tells her to. She dresses like Karin which also makes her a whore, slut, and bitch, especially slut. She's just as mean as Karin.

Sai is an emotionless bastard. He doesn't know how to act and runs his mouth but his looks make him popular anyways. He's not as bad as some, he just got dragged into the group by Ino.

Shikamaru doesn't really join in on the bullying. He says it's too troublesome but Sakura thinks it's just because he doesn't like being mean. He's a total genius and skipped a grade so he's a junior.

Neji is a prick and almost as bad with words as Sasuke. He is cousins with Hinata and can be a big jerk face! He bullies as well and treats everyone but his girlfriend like dogs. He's the second junior out of the group.

Tenten is Neji's girlfriend. She's a tomboy and always wears her hair in buns. She doesn't take part in bullying but likes fighting.

Suigetsu is a total manwhore. He is obsessed with pretty women and is a funny guy. He scares Sakura a lot…but he isn't as mean as some of the people…just creepy…

Juugo is the last junior out of the group. He's quiet, not really shy, and is loyal. That's the only reason he's still in the group. Besides that Sakura sees him time to time with some animals. He seems pretty nice to her.

Sakura had no idea what to do, there, before her, was the large group. She didn't know what to do. She was like a deer stuck in headlights with her large green eyes. Swallowing some bile that had risen in her throat, she decided to reply.

"I'm going to finish my lunch." She told them quietly, clutching her books tighter to her chest than before. The feeling of unease in her stomach churned as she realized that all of them, excluding Shikamaru, Juugo, and Hinata, had food in their hands. Her eyes widened slightly and she took a small step back

"Let us help you forehead." Karin sneered. Before Sakura could run, the group started pelting the food at her. She felt something hard get thrown at her head before something sharp dragged across her cheek. She didn't see what it was because she had her eyes tightly shut. She slid onto her knees, finally frustrated at herself, and started crying. She was told not to injure anyone by Kat, even though her older sister didn't know she was getting bullied, though Sakura was sure she suspected it.

"That's enough!"

The loud booming voice signaled the arrival of the principle, sending all the kids that were laughing, watching, and throwing food at the pinkette running for the hills. Once the crowd had cleared it only left Tsunade, the school principle, and a sniffling Sakura. Approaching the petite girl, Tsunade's expression softened. "Are you alright Sakura?" She asked, putting a hand on the small girl's shoulder.

"No." Sakura answered, looking up at the blurred image of the big busted blonde woman. Her pale bottom lip wiggled as she fought a sob. "I don't even know what I did!" She suddenly wailed, and clung to the blonde female, crying her heart out.

"Oh sweetie, it's alright. I'll fix everything." Tsunade comforted, helping Sakura up and brushing some spaghetti off of her head. "Let's get you to the nurse." She suggested and led the pinkette away.

Gaara stalked down the hallway, an evil dark aura surrounding him as he made way to the principles office. He heard what had happened to Sakura by rumors and he was beyond pissed.

"Gaara you need to calm down. You going around killing people won't help Sakura-Chan at all." A brunette boy with red triangle tattoos under his eyes tried reasoning with the red head. He had a black backpack slung over his shoulder.

"Kiba, shut up." The red head snarled as he spotted the principles office. In a swift fluid movement he slammed his foot into the door causing it to slam open. Inside sat Tsunade, brooding at her desk, and a freshly cleaned Sakura whose hair was in a clump and a small bandage on her cheek.

"Gaara!" The pinkette squeaked in surprise, jumping up and pulling him into a hug. Kiba looked at her with furrowed eyebrows and stood off to the side, looking her up and down for any injuries besides the one on her cheek. He let out a breath that he didn't know he had been holding when he found none.

"Sakura are you alright?" Gaara grunted, pulling her away to get a good look at her, searching for injuries as well.

"Well…not really…" She mumbled, pulling away and moving back over to the chair she was sitting in before and curling into it once again.

"What happened?" He demanded, walking over and sitting in the chair beside her.

"Well…" And Sakura started to quietly explain what had happened.

"Uh…" Kiba blinked and scratched his head, ruffling his messy hair already, before slipping back towards the door. "I'll be going now…I guess." He called only to be ignored. Without another word dog boy slipped out and went back to class.

After Sakura was done explaining Gaara was emitting a really scary aura. Tsunade raised an eyebrow from her desk as the red head stood up and stalked up to her desk, slamming his hands down on the table, making Sakura jump.

"What are you going to do about this?" He snarled, eyeing her brooding expression.

"Two things" The busty blonde announced. "First, get your hands off my desk and calm down." She told him seriously. "And second-"

"She won't be doing anything…I will." A familiar voice announced. Three pairs of eyes turned towards the broken doorway to see three females standing inside of it. The female on the left had short blonde hair with neon green streaks. Surprisingly her eyes were what gathered most attention, not her hair. They were two colors, the left was a glimmering gold and the right was a deep bright green. She was wearing a pair of light blue skinny jeans and a t-shirt that said 'so stick that in your juice box and suck it!' with a random ice pop on it, as well as a pair of black converse. She was, for once, standing perfectly still and quiet. The girl on the right had light white hair that was styled in elegant curls. Her eyes were gray and bored looking as she stared at the pink haired teen in the room. She was in a pair of white skinny jeans and a black rocker tee that hung off her shoulder, a tattoo of a black and blue butterfly and white rose was seen on the back of her shoulder blade, along with a pair of black gladiator sandals. And of course the girl in the middle, the tallest out of the three, had long silky black hair pulled up in a high ponytail that fell down to her hips and glowing amber eyes. She was wearing a plain white v-neck t-shirt and black skinny jeans as well as red Chuck Taylor kicks.

"Kat?"

The three Harunos and the two friends of Katherine were situated around the living room of the Haruno household. Sakura was fidgeting uneasily while Gaara looked uninterested, though he was very interested in what Kat was about to tell them. The white haired teen with the butterfly tattoo stood off to the side with her blackberry out, sorting through some things. The blonde, err slash green, haired teen was rolling back and forth on the balls of her feet with silver duck taped across her mouth. While on the car ride home she had decided to start…talking but when the girl talked it was like a chipmunk on monster. So Kat had the white haired female duck tape her mouth shut and thus…the duck taped mouth. Katherine sat in front of the twins; legs crossed using her arms folded under her chest in an intimidating manner.

"What did you mean you are going to do something about it?" Gaara finally asked, everyone had been quiet on the whole car ride home. Besides the blonde but…duck tape… Anyways after picking up the twins Kat hadn't said a word, only shared a look with the principle before leaving.

"Mruawh Rah Mwah Na" The blonde piped up from her spot to the side. Everyone turned to look at her, except for the white head.

"Zephyr what is the point of duck tape if she still talks?" Kat asked with an elegantly raised eyebrow. The gray eyed female glanced up from her blackberry and shrugged. "Right…Mafuyu shut up and I'll get you juice later." The blackette told the mumbling blonde who nodded furiously.

"Alright, now how can I put this simply?" Kat started, rubbing her head. She glanced over at her two best friends who simply shrugged. "Well, Mafuyu, Zephyr, and I are going to transfer to your school. Starting tomorrow." She told them bluntly, looking calmly at the twins who both had gapping mouths.

"What!"

Katherine, Zephyr, and Mafuyu stood in the kitchen about an hour later. The twins had seemed truthfully excited but scared for the schools well being. Honestly, the three of them were pleased. Tsunade had told Katherine over the phone what had happened and the girl had calmly explained that she was going to transfer for her sibling's safety. The busy blonde had thought it a wonderful idea and agreed to sign any paperwork for her, since Sakura was her favorite student.

"Why'd you have to duck tape me!" Mafuyu whined, though her words were muffled by her hands which were clutching her mouth out of pain. Zephyr had ripped the duck tape off seconds before.

"Cause you were being annoying." Zephyr told her in a bored tone, typing something on her blackberry. No one knew exactly what the girl was always doing but she had connections to a lot of things.

"That's so mean!" Mafuyu fake sobbed, moving to jump the black haired beauty only to be denied as she made an 'x' with her arms. "Everyone hates me!" She cried out, and suddenly she was in the corner, sobbing to herself. Zephyr and Kat exchanged a look before shaking their heads.

"I'll fix her." Zephyr finally muttered after having a staring contest with Kat. Sighing, she moved over to the fridge and poured a glass of apple juice, placing it beside the depressed girl on the ground.

"No straw…" Mafu murmured, sniffling and shuffling away from the glass. Sighing, the white haired girl moved to the cupboard and snatched a straw, going back to the glass and placing it in the glass. In seconds the drink was in the blonde/green haired girl's hands and she was slurping away happily.

"Let's go, child." Zephyr sighed, waving goodbye to Kat as she started dragging Mafu out by the collar. Kat watched her best friends leave with a smirk on her face before moving over to the fridge and taking out a coke. Moving to the cupboard she went to get the one thing that completed any drink except…

"Damn it Mafuyu! THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW!"
