Gomen everyone! I realized that I had Kiba in both Sakura's AND Naruto's story and I couldn't have that so I rewrote it. I know I could've saved it and changed it a bit, but I had to go and be stupid and deleat the whole story out of spite. Gee, I hate myself. . . heh So sorry for all this! I didn't mean to I swear!
Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto or any characters *YET!* but I do own Kiyoshi! Yay me! ^_^
~Chapter 1: Sakura~
Sakura walked through the halls, heading to her locker. She was glad that the bell had rang before she had to answer Kakashi. She had no clue what the answer was. It's not like she ever paid attention in Geometry, she just needed the credit. She reached her locker, opening it, when Ino came bouncing up to her. Sakura sighed, knowing what was coming next. Ino began to scream. That's what I thought Sakura mused, closing her locker and looking at Ino.
"What is it?" She asked. She really didn't care, but they were friends. Of course she had to at least pretend to care. Ino followed her to their next class with Anko. Ino didn't like Biology, but it was Sakura's strong point. Ino stopped bouncing as soon as they reached the classroom, but she was still smiling.
"Shikamaru's my new boyfriend!" She squealed. Sakura covered her ears when Ino began to squeal like a little fan girl. She was glad no one else was in the classroom with them. Ino would've scared them away. "Why don't you get a boyfriend?" Ino asked. Sakura sighed, not wanting to explain it AGAIN.
"You know men piss me off. Especially after what happened when I was younger." Sakura trailed off. She was saved when Hinata and Shikamaru walked through the door. Ino quickly ran over to Shikamaru, attacking him, giggling like a little school girl.
"Ummm. . . Am I. . . uhhh. . . Missing something?" Hinata asked, turning towards Sakura. The pink haired girl just sighed, shaking her head, and talking her seat. Hinata sat next to her, trying to get away from the screaming blonde. Sakura stared at the new couple before answering Hinata's question.
"That says it all." Sakura pointed towards the two currently making out. Hinata stared, wide-eyed, for a second before looking away in utter disgust. Sakura smiled, nodding her head. She knew what Hinata was thinking as soon as she saw her face. "Sick, right?" Sakura asked. Hinata nodded, facing the girl.
"Why don't you. . . have a boyfriend?" Hinata pointed out. Sakura shrugged her shoulders, placing her elbows on the table, resting her head above her laced fingers. Sakura thought for a minute, looking out at the pouring rain, before she answered the small girl.
"I don't really need a boy right now. I'm a sophomore in high school; I have all the time in the world to find a boy. And mostly all high school relationships end anyway. Why put yourself through that heartache?" Sakura asked to no one in particular. Hinata nodded before facing the front. The bell had rang and Anko was currently standing in the front of the class, waiting for everyone to quiet down.
"Alright LISTEN UP EVERYONE!" Anko yelled. No one was fazed about the yelling, they survived a whole year with her yelling all the time. She slammed her hands on the desk, waiting for everyone to look at her. "I don't care if you only have four more days of school. The last three will be spent testing, so listen up today! This will all be on your exam. If you fail, that just proves you weren't paying attention to me today and I WILL fail you."
"You wouldn't fail me again, would you?" A voice called out. Anko merely laughed at this, knowing the boy wasn't really kidding. "Seriously, aren't you tired of me after two years?" The boy smiled at her.
"Well, Sai, I could hold you back for two more years and then you couldn't graduate, could you?" Anko asked. Sai just shook his head. Everyone in the room laughed. Sai was a junior taking one of the easiest sophomore classes and he STILL wasn't passing. "Pay attention today, Sai, and you'll pass my class." And with that, Anko began to start her lecture.
---------------------------
Sakura sighed. She was glad it was finally lunch. She couldn't stand most of her classes, and at least she could socialize with her friend. She grabbed her lunch and sat down next to Ino and Shikamaru. They were kissing and flirting which made Sakura sick. Finally Hinata, Neji, Sai, Choji, and Shino sat down, relieving the tension between Sakura and the new couple.
"Why now?" Neji asked, dropping his tray on the table. Ino and Shikamaru looked up to see everyone had joined them. Ino blushed and Shikamaru didn't look up at anyone. Everyone besides the two began to converse between each other, eating their food and having a great time.
"So, when did you two hook up?" Shino asked, looking at the new couple. Ino thought for a moment before she decided to answer.
"About eight fourteen today." She smiled. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Ino. Why was it that she could remember that and nothing else? Sakura shook her head. Why was it she remembered that but forgot her birthday last year? They had only been going out for three hours! "What?! I'm a lovesick pig!" Ino stated, noting everyone was staring at her. Sakura shook her head and continued her conversation with Hinata.
After a while, the bell rang and everyone exited the lunch room. Sakura quickly ran to her locker, grabbing her books and bag, and quickly headed off to English with Shikamaru in her class. Great. He'll probably ask me a bunch of questions about her. I hate high school relationships. She thought to herself. She made English just in time for the bell to ring. As soon as she sat down, she ignored anything that Iruka had to say. And anything Shikamaru wanted to know.
----------------------------------
Bell rang, signaling school was over, and Sakura was probably the happiest person at school. She only had to deal with Ino for another five minutes, and she had the rest of the night to herself. She headed outside in the rain. She found Ino's car and sat on the hood, waiting for her to exit the building. She finally came out, kissing Shikamaru goodbye, and racing to her car.
"I waited inside for you! Bitch!" Ino called out, unlocking her door and quickly getting in. Sakura opened her door and got in, shaking the water out of her hair. "Oh you're just trying to piss me off aren't you?" Ino asked, trying to glare at her best friend. She ended up laughing to herself before starting the engine and driving off.
"So, do you think this relationship will last?" Sakura asked. Ino nodded. She always did that when she had a new boyfriend, she would claim she would love him very much, they would be together forever, and then within the week, they would end up breaking up. Sakura hated when her friend was depressed about that stuff, but she needed to learn herself that relationships don't work.
"We. . . I don't know. We just click ya know? Oh of course you wouldn't, you're a prude." Ino muttered. Sakura glared at her friend. She wasn't a prude! She was just wary of relationships! Sakura ceased all conversation until they got to her street. Ino dropped her off, waved her goodbye, and drove off. Sakura hated when they were like that, she wished they could get along.
Sakura walked through all the rain to get home, her house all the way at the end of the road. She walked up, unlocked the door, and opened it, throwing her bag and keys down, and slipping her shoes off. "I'm home." She called. The only answer was her younger brother, Kiyoshi, ran up to her and hugged her.
"Hey sis! I missed you!" He stated, as Sakura picked her up. He was only five with dark blue hair, and blue eyes. He resembled Sakura somewhat, but mostly their dad. He was pretty strong for a five year old. Him and Neji love to work out together and Neji pushes him to his breaking point.
"What's up Kiyoshi? I missed you too!" Sakura cooed as she walked him to the kitchen. She grabbed herself a bottle of water and asked her brother what he wanted. He grabbed a blueberry juice box and ran into the living room with it. He came back into the kitchen a few seconds later, his parents yelling at him for brining that on carpet.
Sakura pressed her index finger to her lips and took Kiyoshi upstairs through the back stairs. He quietly ran upstairs and into Sakura's room. She smiled when he jumped into the computer chair, waiting for Sakura to put his game in.
"Do you want to play a game?" Sakura questioned. Kiyoshi nodded, sucking on his juice box. She giggled, grabbing his favorite game and popping it in the computer. Her parents called her downstairs, and she told Kiyoshi not to spill his juice box on her computer or pink carpet. She walked downstairs and into the living room where her parents were waiting for her.
"How was school?" Her mother asked her. She stood at ease and answered her question. Her father had taught her the ways of the military and what they had to do at military school and she was to follow the routine they did. If she let even one grade fall lower than a B- or she disobeyed her parents, she was going to be sent to Military school.
"What are your grades current?" Her father asked. Kiyoshi watched as her parents kept asking Sakura question after question. He got bored of his game and wanted to see what his sister was up to, since he was always sent to his room every day at this time.
"All A's sir." Sakura answered. She knew that Kiyoshi was watching her, but she couldn't do anything about it unless they both wanted to get in trouble. Sakura continued to act normal, answering all their questions until she was dismissed. She quietly walked up the stairs. Kiyoshi hid so that his parents wouldn't notice him. As soon as Sakura got upstairs, Kiyoshi followed her silently to her room.
"What were you doing?!" She hissed. She shut her door and glared at her brother. He didn't know how to respond; he could've seriously gotten both of them in trouble for that stunt he pulled. Sakura was about ready to smack him when her phone rang. She answered it, knowing it was Ino.
"What's up?" Sakura asked. Ino was crying, which wasn't a good sign for Sakura. She rushed out of her room, leaving Kiyoshi alone. She dropped to her knees outside her door, in the hall. "Tell me what's wrong Ino!" She screamed. Ino kept sobbing, but told Sakura.
"It's my father." She muttered.
