Sighing heavily, I unlocked the door to my small two bedroom apartment and flicked on the lights in the process. My emerald orbs scanned the spotless living room and kitchen, satisfied that I've finally finished unpacking last night and was able to enjoy the place for the weekend.

Smiling, I closed and locked the door behind me, placing my keys on the key rack and slipping off my black leather boots.

Making my way into the kitchen, I laid my black and pink camo motorcycle helmet upon the counter and strolled on over to the refrigerator. Popping my neck and rolling my shoulders to loosen my muscles I opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water.

Taking a sip of the cold drink I saw the screen of my laptop light up from the corner of my eye. Grinning, I dashed towards the computer and sat heavily onto the plush leather computer chair.

I grinned seeing that I was receiving a call on my Skype and quickly answered when I saw the familiar penname xXracoon_demonXx. A screen immediately popped up and my twin brother bleeped onto the monitor.

"Gaara!"

My brother smirked, piercing emerald orbs lighting up when he was able to see me as well. He pulled a black beanie off his head, revealing short blood red spiky hair. He ran his fingers through his spiky tresses.

"Hey sis; did you finally finish unpacking?"

"Yeah; last night." I sighed heavily pulling off my dark gray beanie and shaking out my short choppy pink hair. "I thought I'd never get done."

Gaara laughed softly, swiveling his seat from side to side with his foot. "I bet you're glad you can relax for the weekend."

"Hell yeah! I may just stay in my pajamas all weekend! I haven't been sleeping too well so I deserve to be lazy."

Gaara arched a hairless brow. "You've been having trouble sleeping too?"

I frowned slightly. "You haven't been able to sleep either?"

My brother shook his head. "I haven't slept since you left."

"Yeah...I haven't slept since I left; I figured it was because I needed time to settle down from moving."

Gaara laced his hands behind the back of his head. "It's because we've never been separated."

I rolled my eyes. "You don't know that."

"This has never happened before."

"We're insomniacs! This happens all the time."

Gaara in turn rolled his eyes. "It hasn't happened since we've been on this medication and we've been on it for quite a while."

"Like I said; it could be the stress from the move. We just need to give it time."

Gaara scowled. "You need to come home."

I pinched the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes in frustration. I should have known this was coming.

"We've already discussed this Gaara. I'm not coming back...I...I need this."

"But we need you." Gaara's scowl disappeared as his eyes filled with pain and sadness. "I need you."

I looked down at my keyboard as I felt my heart jerk in my chest. I hated it when my brother looked at me like that...that same look I've been getting for weeks; abandonment.

Fuck! Now my eyes are tearing up!

Damn him!

"Gaara...don't do this to me." I cursed under my breath when my voice cracked.

My brother ignored me and continued. "Things aren't the same without you."

I lifted my head at this. "How so?"

The red head leaned in closer to the camera, propping his chin on top of his hands as he looked at me with annoyance clearly written on his face. "Kankuro and Deidara have become hoes."

I laughed at his bluntness. "I thought we established this before I left."

I jumped when Gaara's bedroom door was thrown open and smacked against the wall loudly. I shifted my eyes to my twin to see that he had turned towards the door.

"Who the hell are you calling a hoe!"

I snapped my eyes back towards the door and saw Kankuro standing in the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest. His spiky brown bangs covered his dark brown eyes that held amusement as he scowled at his little brother.

"You are a hoe and don't come barging in my room like that!" snapped Gaara as he glared at his older brother for the rude intrusion.

"I am not a hoe! Can you blame the ladies for wanting a piece of me?!" yelled Kankuro.

I couldn't help but to snort at the blasphemy of his words. The sound caused Kankuro to snap his head towards the computer screen and he grinned when he saw me.

"Is that you, baby sis?"

I grinned. "Hey big bro! What is this I hear about you and Dei being hoes?"

Kankuro stared back as the screen appalled. "Who would say such a thing?!"

"Everyone." muttered Gaara.

Kankuro glared at his brother. "Shut up!"

"What the hell are you two bitching about now? Oh my God is that Sakura?!"

I watched as both my brothers were pushed out of the way and my older sister's face suddenly appeared on the screen. In the background I could see Kankuro's feet up in the air from his fall at the unexpected push and could hear Gaara grumbling cuss words and trying to get up from being pushed out of his seat.

"Hey baby sis! We miss you so much! How's Konoha?"

I shook my head and laughed. "I miss you guys too! Konoha is really nice and it's so different from Suna. I think I'm really going to like it here."

"Will you move your big ass head out of the way, Temari?!"

"Fuck you Gaara!"

"I was talking to Sakura first! Get out!"

"The both of you can get out! What I have to say is more important!" exclaimed Kankuro as he pushed Temari into Gaara and appeared back onto the screen. "So Sakura, how hot are the girls out there?"

Both Temari and Gaara punched the back of their bother's head.

"IDIOT!" they both exclaimed.

"Ow!" cried Kankuro as he cradled his throbbing head.

"You deserved that bro." I smirked as I casted my eyes to the corner of my screen as another call bleeped in. I rolled my eyes when I read the penname Immortal_S3X_God.

"Hold on guys. I have another call."

My siblings continued to squabble as I accepted the incoming call. The screen popped up and I jerked back when angry violet eyes greeted me.

"You fucking bitch!"

My jaw dropped. "What the fuck did I do?"

"What did you do?! Are you fucking kidding me?!" He screamed as he pulled back from the camera.

"You left and didn't say shit!" He bellowed as he angrily brushed back his silver locks from his face.

"Uh...sorry?" I replied meekly. I was actually at a loss for words; I honestly didn't think he'd care that much.

"Sorry?!" He yelled. "Is that all you can fucking say?!" he snapped incredulously. "Do you know what the fuck I've been through?!"

I sighed, wondering if he was going to lower his voice anytime soon. "I'm sure you're going to tell me, Hidan." I drawled.

"You damn right I'm going to tell you!" He yelled, crossing his arms of his bare chest.

"I am sick of shark face's and sheman's crying and them moping around here like little bitches!" Hidan gripped the handles of his computer seat and leaned in closer to the camera. "Do you know how fucking hideous they are when they cry?!"

I threw my head back and busted out laughing.

"It's not funny bitch! Oh and don't let me get started on Itachi's bitch ass!"

"Oh God! What about him?"

"Running around here PMSing like a fucking woman! He had the audacity to punch me in the face because I brought him a tampon and told him to shove it up ass and stop being a bitchy little cunt."

"He had every right to punch you in the face."

"Fuck you bitch! You always take that bastard's side."

"I do not, now shut up. I got another call." I muttered as another notification popped up. I arched a pink brow when I saw the penname Goat_Raper_4Life.

"Who the hell is that?!" I questioned to no one in particular as I answered the call in curiosity.

To say that I was deeply disturbed when Itachi's scowling face appeared on the screen is an understatement.

"Where the hell are you woman?!"

I blinked...then blinked again; Itachi never cusses and more importantly what the hell was up with his penname?!

"What is up with your penname? Are you in the goat fucking business now? " I couldn't help but ask.

Itachi's scowl intensified and I wasn't quite sure if it was caused by me ignoring his question or by what I said but he answered me none the less.

"Deidara."

"Ah." That made perfect sense.

"Now back to my question. Where are you?"

"I moved."

Itachi's glare almost set me on fire. "Where?"

"You sure are inquisitive today." I smirked as I watched his left eye twitch in annoyance.

My smirk slowly faltered when I eyed him closely and acknowledged the bags under his eyes and his complexion was a tad paler than normal.

"Are you alright? You don't look too good."

"That fucker is going through withdrawals!" piped up Hidan as he overheard our conversation.

With raised brows, I looked at Itachi in curiosity. "Withdrawals?"

Itachi sighed heavily, lips pouting slightly. "I haven't had dango in 4 days."

I felt a sweat drop form as I rolled my eyes skyward in exasperation. "There's a dango shop not even two blocks from your complex."

The Uchiha grunted. "It's unworthy."

"You are being ridiculous."

"What's ridiculous is you leaving and not saying anything." snapped the Uchiha which in turn made me flinch.

"I was going to tell you…" I muttered weakly.

"BULLSHIT!" screamed Hidan.

"Fuck off Hidan!" I snapped back as I closed his screen, ending our convo. I could see that my siblings had finally stopped arguing and were silently listening to what I was saying to Itachi.

"Why didn't you tell us?" His voice lowered. "Why didn't you tell me?"

The hurt I heard in his voice caused some guilt to rise. I sighed heavily, twirling a pink lock around my slender finger.

"I wasn't trying to hurt you guys by not saying anything but I knew if I told you, you guys would of tried to convince me to stay."

"Of course we would have."

"That's the point." I whispered.

Itachi was silent for a moment as onyx eyes stared hard into my own eyes as if he were searching for something.

"You left because of that bitch."

I was taken aback by how much malice dripped off of his words at the accusation and for the fact that he cussed again.

"You don't understand."

"How can I understand when you don't talk to me?" he growled, turning his head away from me. "We used to be so close…we used to talk about everything. Ever since that…that incident you've changed."

I turned my head from the screen as his words hit me hard. "Look…I'm sorry Itachi…I really am. I just couldn't take living there anymore." I chewed on my bottom lip, slowly turning my head back to look at Itachi.

"If I had stayed…I would have tried again."

Itachi flinched at my words as I watched his eyes darken and his lips settle into a firm line; he knew exactly what I was talking about.

"On top of that I don't want to be a…"

"Don't!"

I shifted my gaze to Temari as she glared at me heatedly.

"You are not a burden to us." stated Kankuro with a frown marring his face. I looked to my twin to see that he was scowling at me.

"Don't say such stupid things." muttered Gaara as he shook his head in disapproval.

"They're right you know." spoke Itachi softly. "You're not a burden."

"Yeah yeah yeah…" I muttered with a small smile. "But as much as I would like to continue this conversation…" I drawled. "I have to go; I did move here for another valid reason and I have to get supplies."

"You have several bags of medical supplies sitting over on that shelf." pointed out Itachi.

I clenched my jaw as I felt a vein pulsing quite violently on my forehead.

I knew exactly where the bags of medical supplies were.

How he could see them was beyond me and it pissed me off.

Damn those eyes of his!

"I need more you ass!" I snapped.

Itachi grinned at me cheekily and I had the desire to smack it off his face. "Awww don't get all hostile on me Sakura."

"Goodbye Itachi!" I growled before closing his screen. I shifted my gaze to my siblings with a huff and all three of them were smirking at me.

I scowled.

"What!?"

Temari laughed with a shake of her head. "Nothing baby sis, we'll catch you later."

Kankuro nodded, leaning in closer to the screen. "Yeah and remember what we talked about. If you see any hot girls you give them my number!"

Temari leaned forward and snatched up her brother's ear and began dragging him away from the screen and out of the room. Kankaro hollered the entire way, pitifully attempting to pry off his older sister's iron like grip on his poor ear.

"Idiot." Gaara and I muttered in unison. We both looked at each other with a laugh.

Gaara grinned, sitting up in his seat. "I know you have to go, so take, be safe and get some sleep."

I grinned at my twin with a nod of my head. "I will and the same goes for you." I clicked my brother's screen off and stood with stretch, groaning when my back popped. Closing the screen of my laptop I began heading towards my bedroom for a change a clothes; I could definitely take a little tour of the city.

I slammed my glass down on the counter and raised my hand and waived the bartender over for another refill. The liquor was already kicking in and I bobbed my head to the fast paced music that filled the club. My mind was finally blank and free of all thoughts of the past and the annoying Skype chats from earlier. Turning in my seat my half lidded emerald orbs scanned over the many people pressed up against each other on the dance floor, vibing and dancing hard to the beat.

One person in particular caught my attention as her sky blue eyes locked onto me and her pink lips curved into a flirtatious smile. She was in the middle of the dance floor, in a skin tight lavender spaghetti strap dress swaying to the music and I watched her hips rock as if I was hypnotized.

Blinking, I turned back in my seat as the bartender set my drink down before me. I quickly threw back my shot and slid out of my seat and made my way through the dance floor. The mysterious woman now had her back to me, losing herself in the music and I stood back and watched her for a moment.

Deciding that I had enough of watching, I maneuvered through the crowded dance floor and slipped in behind the pretty blond and casually laid a hand upon her hip. I felt her tense before turning her head to the side and flashing me a smile.

"About time you came over here."

I smirked, as I slipped both hands around her waist and pulled her closer to me, a soft scent of lilacs invading my senses. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

The mysterious blond turned in my arms, trailing her hands up my chest and lacing them around my shoulders. "You should be." She replied with a teasing smile as we easily fell into step with one another; the music winding down to a much slower beat.

"So what's a pretty girl like you doing in a club all by yourself?"

I was grateful for the club being so dark because it did well to hide my blush. "I just moved here actually."

"Aaah!" She grinned. "Welcome to Konoha."

"Thank you."

"Enjoying yourself yet?"

"I would think so; I do have a pretty girl in my arms right now."

The blonde giggled, "So what's your name?"

"Sakura and yours?"

"Ino."

"Ino…" I said, already liking the way her name rolled off my tongue.

Ino giggled once more, arching a perfect blond brow. " So Sakura, how about you buy me a drink and we continue this conversation elsewhere?"

I grinned, liking the direction this was going. "That sounds like a great idea." I replied, leading the blonde off the dance floor and towards the bar.

Have I mentioned how much I love Konoha?
