Title: Miracle
Chapter1: Runaway to Japan
Disclaimer: I can never own Naruto, oh well.
Summary: Sakura has just returned to Japan from USA. She decided to start afresh in Japan as she's tired of the lifestyle she has been living in USA.
Sakura then got to know Ino's friends through Ino and began learning how to be a friend and trust friends, trying to find back all those things she had lost in USA. She was trying to put her past behind her but things just happened like a cycle, like the way it did in USA. She thought of giving up but was saved and even being protected by the person she least expected from.
And of course, in the process, love is nurtured, waiting to be blossom…

Hey people!
This is a brand new story that I've written.
I think it's kinda cute? I wrote it in Sakura's POV. Her character somewhat reflects on me too.
In this story, Sakura may seem quiet or even complicated, but she's actually an innocent and kind hearted person who has gone through things that is too much for her age. What she actually needs is someone who could trust her, and see her for who she is. That's all she could ask for.
Well, enjoy!

Sakura's POV
"Sakura! Over here!" I turned around upon hearing my name, and saw a blonde hair beauty waving enthusiastically at me.
I broke into a wide smile and wave back as I saw her approaching me.
"Forehead! I missed you so much!" Ino brought me into a hug.
"You still haven't changed one bit, pig." I teased as I returned the hug back.
Ino released me from the hug as she checked on me from head to toe.
"Hey! What did you do to yourself?" Ino furrowed her eyebrow.
Baffled, I scratched my head. "What do you mean?"
"Where did your large forehead go? And since when did you get all those right curves? Oh, and your hair has even grown longer!" Ino sought of criticizing me.
"Hello~ I was only 6 years old when you last saw me. And I am born with this great beauty, you don't have to suspect!" I teased back.
"And I sure don't." Ino fold her arms, looking as if proud of her appearance.
Yup, I haven't seen Ino for ages. I left Japan for USA at the age of 6 years old but I do still contact with Ino through phone and by email. She is the only childhood friend I contact ever since I went to USA and of course, my only best friend.
"It's good to back here." Sakura gave her a smile.
"How long do you plan to stay in Japan?" Ino queried as we enter a café.
"How long do you want me to stay in Japan?" I asked her back.
"It's the first time you return to Japan in the past almost 9 years! You should stay longer and accompany me!" Ino exclaimed.
"Oh, did I mention that I had transferred to Konoha High in Japan?" Ino widened her eyes as we sat down on our seat.
"You mean you are gona stay Japan for the next one and a half year?" Ino raised her voice.
I nodded my head and she immediately embraced me.
"Erm. Miss, what would you like?" A waitress asked politely.
"I would like a cappuccino please." I ordered as she took down on her notebook.
"Same goes for me." The waitress nodded as she left.
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Sakura, are you really gona stay in Japan and study in my school?" Ino asked once more, still not believing her own ears.
"I am going to stay in Japan and get to the same school as you." She got my confirmation and chuckled with joy.
"I'm so gona introduced my friends to you. Oh I can't wait!" Ino said with great enthusiasm.
Friends?
That's one of the reasons why I decided to return to Japan so as to start afresh. Friends used to be one of the most important relationships that I hold dearly, but now, I doubt that relationship anymore.
"Where do you stay now? In the house you stayed previously? Where are your parents? Did they come here too?" Ino asked eagerly.
"Calm down Ino! I am going to stay at the house that I used to stay when I was younger. My parents are in some business trip. I'll just have to inform them about my where about and that will do." I cleared her doubts.
She nodded her head as the waitress served us our cappuccino.
"I'm so excited!" Ino could not calm herself down as she continued beaming her smiles at me, causing me to laugh at her stupid actions.
"Ino!" Both of us turned and I saw a group of people.
It must be Ino's friend as Ino waved back and the group of people approached us.
"Your friend?" A guy with black short hair asked as he slid his arm on Ino's waist and sent me a wink.
I looked back blankly at him; dislike the look he sent me.
"How come you guys are here?" Ino asked as she pecked the guy on the cheek.
There's no doubt that this guy is Ino's boyfriend.
"We wanted to catch a movie but it's fully booked so we came here for a tea instead."The girl's hair who is tied in bun answered as all of them took their seat on the table beside us.
Ino nodded her head then pulled me to her side, "Hey guys! This is my friend from USA!"
I gave them a small smile, "I'm Sakura, nice to meet you."
"Sakura, these are my friends. I was going to introduce them to you when you go to our school." Ino said.
"This is my boyfriend, Kiba. He is Shikamaru and this is her girlfriend Temari. This is Neji, Tenten, Hinata, Naruto and he's Sasuke." Ino introduced.
"Nice to meet you." Tenten gave me a friendly smile as I smiled back.
"Er..Em. Sorry to ask, but, is your hair real?" Hinata spoke, a little shy.
I nodded my head, "It's real."
"Sakura," Naruto said as I raised my eyebrow. "You look familiar with your pink hair."
"Is pink hair that common in Japan?" I asked sarcastically.
"It's unique." Shikamaru complimented and then yawned as I caught Temari staring at me for the whole while.
What's wrong with this guy and his girlfriend?
One is looking and sounding lazy and the other one is like scanning me as if I am a terrorist, causing me goose bumps.
"You can speak Japan language pretty well." Neji said.
I have never seen someone's hair that long and silky! Someday I might even ask him how to maintain that silky hair.
"I used to stay in Japan. My parents are Japanese." I answered deliberately.
"Sakura?" Temari asked as I turned to look at her.
This girl looks familiar. I have seen her before, somewhere, but I couldn't remember.
"What's your sir name?" She asked, but more like questioning me.
"Haruno. Why?" I answered.
You can live in luxury just by being a Haruno, but sometimes, I hate being a Haruno. You don't get real friends when people know you're the only daughter of the Haruno Company. People will only get near you and make use of you.
Temari looked a little surprise as she muttered, "Nothing."
"You are the daughter of the Haruno Company? You mean the fashion company that has business in almost every part of the world?" Kiba asked, eager to know.
I sent him a glare. "So?"
Ino seems to sense my anger. "Come on Sakura, he's just curious that's all."
I looked away.
I hate people judging my family's background. So what if they know I'm rich? Try to get near me? Get friendly with me? Oh come on, I have had enough of that already!
"So, how long have your known each other?" Hinata asked, trying to change the subject.
"Sakura and I have known each other since kinder garden!" Ino said proudly.
"Kinder garden? I am from the same kinder garden as Ino. So is Sasuke!" Naruto said.
"Really?" I asked. I do remember Sasuke, but him?
Naruto suddenly slammed his palm on the table as everyone stared at him.
"We are in the public dobe." Sasuke mentioned.
I turned to look at Sasuke. He definitely still has nice features and body. Even his voice sounds sexy!
"Sorry," Naruto scratched his head and sat down. "I remember you! You were my first crush but you rejected me because of that teme!"
I could tell that Hinata flinched a little upon hearing Naruto's sentence.
"Rejected you because of him?" I repeated his sentence and raised my eyebrow, trying to recall.
"Sakura! Naruto was an idiot back then! Although he is now still an idiot. Remember the first time we quarreled and became rival?" Ino asked, trying to get me to remember the past.
I tried recalling…
Oh, I remembered! This angelic face that Sasuke had had caused chaos in every level! Almost every single girl was after him, wanting to be with him. And Naruto was the idiot who was always trying to compete with him and always ends up losing.
But why did they end up being friends? And even goes out together until now? How did they do that?
"Oh. I think I remembered," I said. "I even got rejected when I confessed to Sasuke."
Sasuke looked at me for a few seconds, and looked away. I could tell that he was a little surprise of my willingness of telling my past.
Facing Sasuke now, I had no those kind of childish feelings anymore. Perhaps it's because I had just broken up with my ex. Not yet broken up, but silent break up.
He is the main reason why I left USA.
"You confessed to Sasuke? How come I didn't know?" Ino interjected.
"Oh, if I'm not wrong, he threw the letter into the bin." I answered casually.
Sasuke turned to look at me again.
"Sasuke's a heartless brat." Shikamaru commented.
"He indeed was." I said.
"Hn." Sasuke finally spoke, second sentence of the day.
"Was?" Neji emphasized.
"He was heartless back then but I don't know if he is now." I turned to look at him.
"Sakura, I could tell you that he still is!" Naruto exclaimed as they laughed.
Sasuke hit him in the head.
"OUCH! What's that for?" Naruto rubbed his head as Hinata giggled.
"Hinata! How can you laugh along with them?" Naruto exclaimed.
"Sorry." Hinata stuck out her tongue.
This group of people seems harmless, seems interesting to be with. Maybe, they might not be that bad to be with. Maybe, I could even trust them.

I managed to get along well with Ino's friend, except for Temari that is. She's so reserved in front of me; it feels as if she's observing me. And that Kiba, he looks flirtatious to me, like he could two time at Ino anytime.
Oh well, who cares, maybe i thought too much again.
Right now, I'm in Sasuke's sports car. It's the latest model of the season. He still has not changed much, arrogant yet intelligent. Of course, with his family background and looks, he could get almost anything he wants.
You might be wondering why I would be at Sasuke's car, it was because he was forced to send me home after our tea session as our house is in the same region. I was surprised too that he even agreed.
"You drive to school every morning?" I asked, breaking the silence.
"Hn," Sasuke answered. "You don't want me to send you to school do you."
I rolled my eyeball, "Since when am I asking you to send me to school?"
"Hn." Sasuke answered as he continued driving. "You can take bus at this bus stop."
I nodded my head.
"Then how did you manage to get to the mall just now?" Sasuke asked.
"Oh," I floundered. "I took a cab."
"Hn." Sasuke and his one word answer.
"Sasuke, how come you're willing to send me home when they forced you?" I wondered. The Sasuke I once knew were someone not only arrogant, but somewhat selfish.
"Hn." Sasuke answered.
"Hn?" I mimicked him.
"Hn. Just like why Ino's so friendly towards you." Sasuke said quietly.
Uchiha Sasuke treated them as friends? Acknowledge them? Is that why? Since how long have I stopped feeling that way? Since how long have I stopped trusting people?
"Are you going to sit here all day long?" Sasuke sounded annoying.
I turned to look at him, still not believing that even he knows how to trust and acknowledge people. He used to be an emo kid although I am not quite sure what had caused him to be emo.
"Can you stop staring?" Sasuke broke my thought.
I shook my head and looked around. I have reached home! Then, I immediately took my bag and took off my seat belt.
"Thank you." I gave him a smile as I opened the door and closed it.
"Hn."
