I Love You.

Eight divine letters.

Three powerful words.

And only one specific meaning.

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

"I Love You," He said. We never knew what it meant. We never knew what it meant when you say that. But really, it wasn't our fault. We were only five.

Konoha Kindergarten- 21 years before.

"Okay class," Iruka-sensei said. "Today we have a new student joining us, please welcome Sakura Haruno."

I entered the classroom. Right away whispers were heard, things like Who's that? or Why is her forehead so large? and Why is her hair pink?

...And also a loud shout saying- "SHE LOOKS CUTE, IRUKA-SENSEI!"

...Sweat drop. I continued to walk into the classroom. I could feel so many people just staring at me, but what really bothered me was that a boy with raven black hair was also...

Sure. I was different. But my mom always said- They laugh because your different. You laugh because they're all the same. I followed that, of course because it was true.

Most people that I knew are all the same. But I wouldn't know to many. I never really got close to anyone before. That's because most people I know, judge by looks.

"Sakura, would you like to tell a little bit about yourself?" My new teacher Iruka-sensei gestured me to come to the front.

"My name is Sakura Haruno. I like the colour pink and red, my brithday is on May 16th. A week from now." I said with a smile. "Very nice Sakura," Iruka-sensei said as he gestured me to sit down.

He pointed to a seat beside two other boys. One of them was the one that shouted before, and the other was the boy that I caught staring at me...

"Okay class, we are going to begin arts and crafts session. So please take out all your crayons and begin to draw," Iruka said as he handed out pieces of paper.

I turned to the two boys sitting beside me. "Hi!," I said. "I'm Sakura, what's your name?" For a second they didn't respond until suddenly--

"HI! MY NAME IS NARUTO UZUMAKI! AND I'M GONNA BE THE NEXT HOKAGE!" Naruto shouted.

I winced. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha." The other boy said. "Oh, hi," I smiled.

"Sasuke-temeeee!" Naruto said frustrated. "Sakura-chan is mine!" He pouted. I couldn't help but giggle at his antics. And also at the nickname he had for Sasuke-san.

Sasuke just smirked. "Dobe." I listened while they continued their little arguement. I stared down at the blank sheet of paper Iruka-sensei gave me.

Hmm...What to draw... Oh I know! I lifted my pencil, but was stopped when three shadows blocked my light. I looked up.

There were three girls-the one in the middle had red hair that matched her eyes, the one on the left had light brown hazel hair with dark brown eyes, and the last one, the one on the right had a dark black coloured hair and light blue eyes.

"Hello, Sakura-chan" The one in the middle said through gritted teeth. "Umm, hi," I said still holding the pencil I was about to use. "I'm Karin, this is Rin," gesturing to the one on the left. "And this is Ami." She seems mad...

By now, Sasuke and Naruto were done argueing and was watching the scene unfold... "Umm, do you need anything?" I said innocently. The laughed. Yeah I know, it seemed kind of ...strange.

Then all of the sudden Karin stopped. "No, what we want is for you to stay away from our Sasuke-kun." She said while taking a moment to smile at Sasuke. I tilted my head. "Oh? Is Sasuke-san your friend?"

They thought for a moment but before they answered Sasuke seemed to answer for them. "No." He said emotionlessly. "Karin, Rin, Ami. Leave." And they did what they were told. But before they went I heard Karin say-- "Sakura. Watch your back."

At the time I didn't know what they meant by that. But by the very next day, yeah I knew exactly what they meant.

They wanted me to stay away from Sasuke-san.

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

Don't worry, Karin, Rin and Ami, are only an obstacle in my little plot. They won't end up with Sasuke, well not if I can help it. Lol. Please review and tell me what you think.
