Emerald eyes glared out of the airplane window. "Is there anything I can get for you miss?" The stewardess asked politely. Sakura shook her head no. "Well we should be landing shortly, I hope you enjoy your stay in Japan." With that the woman walked off to check on some more passengers.

Sakura heaved a sigh. It would be quite hard for her to enjoy her stay in Japan. She was being sent overseas because she was being adopted by a family friend. About a year ago Sakura's parents had died in a car accident. Her 'Uncle' Kakashi (as she had called him since she was a child) was named in her parent' will as her new guardian since she had no other siblings and either did her parents.

Finally the plane touched down as the sun was setting. Sakura grabbed her suitcase from the overhead compartment and walked out of the plane and into the airport. When she excited the area for her flight she saw a tall man with spikey silver hair dressed in all black, even a mask that covered three quarters of his face. He held up a little sign that said "Welcome to Japan Sakura" in pink writing.

"Uncle Kakashi!" Sakura smiled as she walked over and hugged her new guardian. The man chuckled as he patted her head affectionately. "It's good to see you Sakura." The two walked to Kakashi's car. Sakura who was still exhausted from the flight fell asleep on the way to her new home.

Kakashi gently nudged his niece's shoulder when they arrived at his house. "Sakura, Sakura," he called. Said girl frowned but her eyes opened "Hmm wha…?" she looked around, confusion in her green orbs.

"We're here," Kakashi tried his best to sound cheerful, he knew how hard the past few months have been on his niece.

Sakura looked up at the simple two story grey house. Nothing special, nothing other than she had expected. Kakashi was a junior high school teacher after all. The sky was bright blue and the sun was shining. It was a fine day in spring.

School in Japan started in April which was quite odd for Sakura since school in the U.S started in September. Sakura was 15 years old, in the U.S she would have been going into the 10th grade, her second year of high school, but here in Japan she was only in her first year. To her it seemed like she was going to repeat a year in a sense. Freshman fresh meat once again I guess.

Kakashi opened the door and Sakura walked in. "I'll give you the grand tour I guess," Kakashi chuckled. Sakura smiled "Sure, but then can I take a nap." She yawned emphasizing her tiredness. "Alright it won't take too long."

"So this here is the living room," The first room they walked into ad plain white walls, on the left there was a flat-screen TV on the wall with a small dark wood cabinet with glass doors underneath it. Inside were some dvds and a few gaming systems. In the middle there was a dark wood rectangular table. On the right wall there was a large beige sofa with a few dark purple ad grey cushions. At the end of the room on the far right there as an entryway.

Kakashi led her through there and showed her the kitchen. "This is the kitchen and I guess we'll be eating here." He scratched the back of his head. Kakashi was an old bachelor. Sakura remembered her mother teasing him about a lady named Shizune but she guessed he never went out with her.

The kitchen had white walls and dark grey stone tiles. To Sakura's left there was a door that led to the backyard, to her front along the wall there was the sink to the left of the sink was the stove and oven and to the right of the sink was the refrigerator. Some appliances like a toaster and coffee maker were in the counter. There was a square table with a glass top on the middle of the room with four black chairs with white cushions attached to them.

They walked through the living room again to a small corridor there was a staircase that led to the second floor, and three doors by the staircase. Kakashi gestured to the one farther from the staircase "That leads to the garage," then the one closer to the stairs "and that is just a small room with the washer and dryer. The one in between is the guest bathroom. I'll show you your room now." He said.

Sakura's eye lit up "Thank God I'm about to pass out," she joked. She saw Kakashi roll his eyes (or eye since only one was visible) They walked up the stairs and entered the upstairs hallway. The walls were white and so were the doors.

"The door at the end of the hall is your room, the one on the left is the bathroom, beside the bathroom is my room and across from the bathroom is my err.. I guess library, feel free to go in there and read whatever." Sakura nodded and headed to her room.

She opened the door and saw the pastel pink walls. Opposite to the door was a large window with white curtains and a cherry blossom pattern. On the left wall was a double sized bed with a white frame and white and pink sheets. There was a small light wood table with drawers beside the bed. The closet was on the wall by the entry door on the left. On the right wall there was a desk and chair and a bookshelf. Sakura brought her suitcase in and stared at the room in awe.

"Thank you Uncle Kakashi! I love it!" she hugged her new guardian tightly surprising him. "You're welcome Sakura. I hope you like it here." She smiled up at her uncle. "I guess it's great for a fresh start." Tears were shining in her emerald orbs but didn't fall.

Kakashi looked at his niece sadly at the grief trapped behind her eyes. He knew all too well of the loneliness she was experiencing. "You should get some rest, school starts tomorrow." Sakura nodded. "I already got your uniform, it's hanging in the closet."

Kakashi left the girl to get settled in her new room. He ran a hand over his face "poor kid," he muttered
