By: Raecine

Eight year old Sakura learns a lesson about invading personal belongings. Eight year old Ino learns that revenge isn't the answer.

Chapter 1 – Awww, a Diary!

It was a clear, sunny afternoon in Sakura's house where two certain eight year olds are spending their time relaxing.

Scream!!!

Okay, I mean—stressing out!

"Calm down Sakura!" Ino replied. Sakura stomped her foot, glaring at her best friend, she growled, "Calm down? How can I calm down!? I have to find my book report!" groaned Sakura as Ino rolled her eyes, "Do you know where I put it?"

"How am I supposed to know? Do you know where you put it?" Ino pointed out. Sakura thought for a minute then came back to reality.

"Nah, I came home right after bumping into--" Sakura's eyes widen; she gasped, "Oh no!"

Ino looked at Sakura's pale faced, "What's wrong?"

Sakura raced to the front door, "I got to go! I-it might still be there!" Ino looked at Sakura as her head disappeared around the corner, and then went back to what she was doing.

------- OKAY! Brief info!

Sakura Haruno: has natural PINK hair, emerald eyes, is 8 years old, only child, living with her godmother--- Tsunade, her status: Takes things seriously.

Ino Yamanaka: has blond (pale blond) hair, blue sea eyes, is eight years old, orphan but Tsunade took her in, best friends with Sakura, her status: Duh.

! ON with the story! Continue with Sakura.

Sakura ran as fast as she could back to Konoha elementary school. She paced herself as she entered the school. She licked her lips and went to her classroom--- empty. She walked towards her desk and slowly opened it--- nothing.

'Ah man! I worked so hard on that book report for me and Hina-chan!' thought Sakura as she imaged her Hyuuga friend, angry at her in disappointment. Sakura continued to look around; when she bumped into, non other than Uchiha Sasuke, the popular guy in school; also known as her 'dream guy'. The first time she met him was at a school play and he so happens to sit next to her, when this big fat guy almost, ALMOST sits on him; she pushes him out of the way! Yup, she saved him from being squashed but in return, she got the consequence.

Sakura groaned and started for the exit when she heard her name being called. She turned around and groaned, "Great." Uchiha Sasuke and the rest of his team, Naruto Uzamaki (loud mouth idiot); Neji Hyuuga (Hinata's cousin, quiet); Shikamaru Nara (lazy butt) stood there staring back. Sakura gulped but then widen her eyes as Sasuke held up a black folder--- her book report.

"Didn't know your color is black." exclaimed Sasuke.

Sakura stood there, dumbfounded, "It isn't. "

"But, you DO know black is for guys?" Sasuke asked coolly.

Sakura shrugged, "Could be."

"So, why do you have this black folder?" he held up the folder.

Sakura showed him her empty hands, "I don't"

"Can't you tell pink are for girls only?"

"Can't tell." Sakura swallowed, blinked and shrugged.

"Why you--" Sasuke glared at Sakura, but Naruto patted his shoulder.

"Teme, go easy on her!" Naruto muttered, "It's just a matter of time—"

"Shut up dope!" Sasuke growled, "I know what I'm doing!"

Sakura ran towards Sasuke and swiftly snatched her folder and ran. Sasuke turned around and chased her, the others following behind.

"You can't escape me, Haruno!" Sasuke growled as Sakura made a quick turn and disappeared.

"She's fast!" Shikamaru said. Neji nodded, "And clever!" Naruto added, "She even escaped you, teme."

"We'll see about that!" Sasuke glared at them.

As Sakura entered her house, she found Ino in her room.

"Ino!?" she yelled as Ino jumped and turned around.

"What!?"

"I found it!" Sakura held the black folder. Ino rolled her eyes, "So?"

"Just thought you needed to know. So… what're you doing?" Sakura asked, trying to peek at what Ino was trying to hide.

"N-nothing." Ino stuttered, "Go Away!"

But curiosity got the best of Sakura as she tried peering around Ino, "If it's nothing, then why are you hiding it?"

"It's a secret." Ino blurted out.

"Ooo, a secret. Tell me, I want to know! I won't tell." Sakura said getting closer. Ino inched back but only bumped into her desk, "No! It's MY secret!"

"O-okay fine, I'm going." Sakura inched away then as Ino gathered her belongings, Sakura gasped out loud—making Ino throw her papers scattering everywhere.

"Look what you DID, Sakura!" Ino shrieked, trying to gather all her papers. Sakura decided to help.

"Gomen. Here lemme help---" she picked up Ino's recent paper, "Hey, what's this?" Sakura read aloud, "Dear Diary, I accidentally bumped into Shikamaru Nara, the hottest--- most coolest guy (besides that jerk, Uchiha) in school. I didn't know what to do but say 'I'm sorry' and run. I sometimes dream about him and---"

"Hey!" Ino shrieked, snatching her paper away from Sakura, "You weren't supposed to read that! That's my---"

"Diary? Awww! That's so cute! But, you should keep it in a real diary with a lock and key. It's much safer---" Sakura was cut off.

Ino snorted, "Away from you. Now look here Sakura Haruno, you better not tell nobody about this."

Sakura walked out of Ino's room and into her own, "Yeah yeah, I'll try."

Okay, that's a wrap for Chapter 1, stay tuned and please review. Thank you. Chapter 2 is on its way.
