Chapter One

What Silence Screams

Chapter One- The beginning.

Authoresses notice: Terribly sorry I haven't been publishing stories lately. High school drama, homework and what not, but I'm back and ready to start my stories. Now for this one, I have a story line, but I don't have an exact plot so please excuse the slowness. I just brought the curiosity to create a new story based on some daydreams I've been having.

It's about time!

"I'll never be good enough will I?" She took a long deep sigh of stress.

"I think you'll do fine." The pink haired, older woman spoke quietly among a large crowd of hundreds of girls and their mothers. Sakura sighed again and spoke softly for no one but her own mother to hear.

"You're my mother; you're supposed to say that. No offense mom, but it's not what you think, it's what they think of me." Sakura fixed her teased hair back into a long ponytail and tried not to pace around the room.

'Those girls are ten times better than me! There is no way I'm going to make it to the runway finals.' She thought.

"Sakura Haruno! On stage! Ino Yamanaka! On desk!" a man with a large, paper filled clipboard yelled as he went back into his office.

"Go get em honey!" as Sakura ran back to the stage.

"Yeah go get them Sakura!" Ino snickered as she prepared herself.

As Sakura approached the stage, she could feel her heart pounding, pouncing like a cougar out of her chest.

"Sakura Haruno on stage, sir." She spoke meekly, trying to sound confident.

The man leaned back on his chair. He had such a low, deep, and menacing voice.

"Age?" "Sixteen."

"Height?" " Five foot nine."

"Weight." He demanded.

Sakura gulped hard.

"130…."

He glared at her. "One-hundred thirty, and you dare to come in here."

She looked down. A lady in red handed him Sakura's portfolio. He flipped through it.

"Sakura Haruno, advances; but by the fat on your stomach."

She sighed with semi-relief. She thanked him, took her portfolio back and walked out the door.

"Ino Yamanaka! On deck!" the man with the clipboard screamed.

Sakura sat back down with her mother gloomily.

"well?" Her mother asked.

"I advanced to the runway finals." She sighed as her mother squealed with delight.

"OH! Congrats honey!"

"Yeah….congrats to me…" The thought of having to stand there again, was a major stressor. Sakura sighed and laid back on her chair. Ino walked through the door all smiles.

"I made it! Mom! I did it!" she screamed. Her mother congratulated her and breathed a breath of relief.

Sakura walked out the door of REM Studios, with nothing joyous on her mind.

xxx-three day's later-xxx

"Sakura-chan!" The loudest hyperactive ninja screamed.

"Naruto! Be quiet for once will you?" Sakura sighed.

"Boy I haven't seen you since last week! Have you lost some weight?" He questioned.

"No I haven't Naruto, I've been busy though."

"Oh." He replied.

Sasuke walked across the bridge, ignoring Sakura as usual.

Today however, was different. Sakura didn't even bother saying hello to Sasuke. Was she over him? She stared blankly at the lake.

She mumbled numbers over and over again, Sasuke looked at her like she was insane. "Has she lost her mind?" he thought.

Unbeknownst to him, she was thinking the same thing.

"Have I lost my mind…?"

Was this over before it ever began?

"Yo." Kakashi exclaimed. He glanced over at the rather anti-social group today. No one said a word. He looked at them oddly.

"Something happen?" He asked

"SOMETHING HAPPENED!?OMIGOD WHERE!?" Naruto screamed.

Kakashi sighed.

"Alright then…well you all have a mission today…."
