"SAKURA … SAKURA" a voice shouted up stairs "come on you'll be late for your first day"
"Coming mum" Sakura shouted down "ohh god help me" Sakura moaned to herself
"Ah chin up" inner Sakura chirped up "you'll be fine"
"Oh you can talk, no one will see you" Sakura frowned
Still mumbling Sakura quickly finished getting dressed and walked to school. Upon arriving she gulped taking in her surroundings, the huge school towered in front of her. Trying to go unnoticed Sakura made her way through the sea of laughing students who were to busy pushing and shoving each other as they all piled in to the school suddenly Sakura found her self being shoved in the opposed direction that she had been headed knocking in to students every were she turned Sakura managed to find refuge in the library.
"Ohh k well that didn't go so well" inner Sakura laughed as the surveyed the room shelves upon shelved filled with all kinds of books.
"Well might as well find something to read while I'm here" she walked over to the nearest book shelf headed healing, picking up a book Sakura skimmed through it.
"How to heal a broken leg ...blaa ...blaa…blaa, I know al this already" Sakura thought pushing the book back on to the shelf. It didn't go back in so she pushed it harder on to the shelf only to cringe when she herd a thud and then a grown as she pushed the book through to the other side of the shelf.
"Ohh great" inner Sakura mumbled as Sakura ran to the other side
"Ohh god I'm so sorry" Sakura said quickly trying to help the boy up
"Watch it" he snapped swatting her offered hand away
"I'm really sorry I didn't mean to I didn't mean to pushed it so hard I" Sakura stopped mid sentence
"Wow he's so cute, why'd u have to ask like an idiot in front of him" inner Sakura said
"Shut up" Sakura hissed trying to tear her eyes away from the raven haired boy in front of her.
"Just watch it" he snapped pushing past her "annoying girl"
"I said I was sorry" Sakura called after him, turning Sakura bent to pick up the book only to come face to face with a very angry looking girl.
"Umm hi" Sakura said trying to smile pleasantly
"We saw what you did to our Sasuke" the girl said
"Hu?"
"She said we saw what you did to OUR Sasuke" another girl said coming up behind her
"Oh was that his name? Umm yeah i already apologized to him" Sakura said trying to get past the now three girls only to get ruffle pushed back against the book case
"Oh you did not just push me" inner Sakura shouted
"You hurt our darling Sasuke and so we are going to make you pay" another girl said with a smirk
"Well he looked fine to me …" Sakura said just before a blond haired girl pushed past her
"You girls are pathetic" she said grabbing a book of the shelf ignoring Sakura.
"Hey bitch don't push ..."
"What ever" the blond said shoving past one of the girls and walking away.
"Hum they muttered, any way back to this one how are we going to punish her?" one asked another
"What the hell, all I did was push a book" Sakura thought these girls are weird, Iv come to a crazy school "you should fit right in them" inner Sakura laughed. "Shut up"
'I'll sort her out" one girl shouted running as she threw a handful of shuriken at Sakura, who easily dodged them and jumped out the way.
"Look I really don't want to fight I said I was sorry" Sakura said dodging another set of shuriken.
"tuff" one shouted
"Ohh just go for it Sakura these girls suck it's been a while since we last had a fight" inner Sakura cheered Sakura on
"My tern" another girl said throwing a dozen of Senbon Needles at who Sakura as easily as the shuriken managed to doge them punching two of the girl at the same time and sending them flying in to the wall.
"Hey is she new" "she's really good" mumbles were herd through the crows who had now gathered around.
"Bitch, look what you did to my nose " one screamed holding her now bloody nose as her friend ran towards Sakura who simple punched her again and threw her to the floor with another two. Looking at the pile of three girls in front of her Sakura quickly grabbed her bag and started to walk away just as the blond haired girl jumped in front of her swinging a fan
"Kamaitachi no Jutsu (Slashing Wind Skill)" she shouted as Sakura turned to see a dozen of senbon needles blown away back towards the pile of girls who screamed and quickly tried to doge out of the way.
"Umm thanks" Sakura said watching as the crowd slowly started to disperse
"No problem I hate people who fight when your backs turned plus I really can't stand those three" the girl laughed
"Your new I take it?"
"Yeah this is my first day"
"Well you got a batter welcoming that me" she laughed "I'm Temari by the way"
"Oh right Hi I'm Sakura" Sakura replied shaking Tamari's hand
"Right, so since your new and all I take it you don't really know any one?" Temari asked
"How'd you guess" Sakura said sarcastically looking around the now damaged part of the Library
"Well in that case you can hang around with me and my group" Temari said with a grin "it will be great to have a new person"
"Really you mean it" Sakura could hardly believe her luck "wow thanks I've never had a friend before"
"Really?" Temari asked shocked "but you don't look like crazy or anything"
Laughing Sakura pulled a strand of her hair "people didn't like me because of my hair, you know" Sakura pointed to her hair
"Aww the sucks, well I like it, it different" Temari said pulling a strand of the bright pink hair "its special different" she laughed
"you'll fit right in with us then and don't worry no one will try and touch you, especial when they know your in my group" she added with a smirk "don't worry you'll see" Temari said looking at Sakura's now worried face "we are all very close, no one dares to mess with us".
……………………………………………………………………………………..
As Temari was in the year above, she was given the first two periods of to show Sakura around the school. After the tour Sakura and Temari ended up in the cafeteria.
"Ohk now time to meet the group" Temari said grabbing Sakura's hand and pulling her further in.
"We all meet in the far corner" she said pointing to a large table in the far hand side, gulping Sakura looked over
"Don't worry" Temari added stepping around students pulling Sakura to the table.
"Hey guys" Temari said standing at the head of the table as a few looked up and replied
"OI" Temari said louder getting the attention of the whole table
"Keep it down women" a boy muttered resting his head on to the table
"Every one I have a new friend, she just started to day so I'm inviting her in to our group ok"
Every one nodded
"Great now, this is Sakura" she said pulling Sakura in front of her
"Hi" Sakura mumbled shyly
"H... hi Sakura" a girl stuttered quickly briefly looking up
"That's Hinata" Temari pointed out "the goon sitting next to her is her boyfriend Naruto"
"Hey" Naruto shouted holding out his hand and grabbing Sakura's "nice to meet you. I'm going to become Hokage one day" he said enthusiastically
"Umm yeah good for you" Sakura said unsure of what to say
"Naruto keep it down will ya" a boy with his head still on the table muttered
"And this is my lazy good for nothing boy friend Shikamaru" Temari said poking him "say hi"
"What a drag... Hi" Shikamaru said briefly looking up.
"Uhum" a girl coughed nodding at herself and the boy next to her.
"Oh yeah sorry this is Tenten and her boyfriend Neji, Neji is Hinata's cousin" Temari explained
"Hey" Neji and Tenten said
"Hi"
"Come sit next to us there's a free spot here" Tenten said pointing to a seat next to Neji
"Oh thanks" Sakura said sitting down returning Tenten's smile
They all began to introduce them self's more when suddenly Sakura felt a dark shadow appear over her. Turning around to see who it was she froze "ohh crap its him" inner Sakura said
"You're in my seat Move" the boy stated
"Oh sorry ill move" Sakura quickly stood up only to feel a hand on her shoulder push her back down
"No she's not, why don't you pick on some one your own size Uchiha" Neji spat at him
"Ohh no Neji its fine I'll just move" Sakura started only to quickly shut up when she saw Tenten shake her head at her.
"You really don't wona get in to this, those two are always at each other" Tenten explained
"What ever Hyuga" Sasuke muttered turning and walking back out of the café.
"Umm thanks" Sakura said to Neji
"No problem, just don't let him push you around he's a bastard ok" Neji told her
"Ohk" Sakura said "we'll try anyway" she added to inner Sakura
"the only reason he hangs around with us is because him and Naruto are close friends" Neji added
"Hey Sakura I've looked at your time table and you have double English next with Tenten, Naruto and Gaara" Temari called down the table
"oh ok thanks Temari, who's Gaara?" Sakura said looking around the table.
"Oh Gaara is my Darling little brother" Temari laughed
"Darling" Naruto choked on his drink
"N...Naruto-kun are you ok" a worried Hinata asked looking concerned
"Yeah, just Gaara a Darling hahaha" Naruto laughed so hard he started to cry
"Yeah well actually he's a maniac killer but you know, cant chose your family and all" Temari shrugged "don't worry" she added seeing Sakura's shocked and very worried face.
"Common Sakura we will be late, ill introduce you to Ino she's in out class to, come on Baka" Tenten said motioning to Naruto
"Coming" Naruto and Sakura called in unison following Tenten.
Out side the English class the met up with a blond haired girl
"This is Ino" Tenten said introducing her
"Hi I'm Sakura"
"Hey ya, so you're the new girl, Temari let you join our group? She must really like ya" Ino said
"Oh?" sakura asked confused
"Tamari's very picky with who joins our group but if she likes ya then u must be fine" Ino said with a big smile
"Thanks" Sakura smiled nervously back.
"Common girls don't chit chat you'll be late" a silvered haired man said pushing them in to a classroom
"Like you always are" Ino shot back
"Hey it wasn't my fault a beautiful girl crossed my path..." he started
"Yeh yeh sensei" Naruto shouted taking his seat
"That's Kakashi sensei, he's always late" Ino said "hear come sit with us" she motioned to a seat next to her. The class settled down and every one got seated. Just as Kakashi shut the door it was flung open again and a red haired boy entered.
"Welcome to the class Gaara, nice of you to join us" Kakashi sighed
"hm" was the only response as Gaara made his way to the back of the class room taking a desk in the far corner.
"Nice entrance" Naruto whispered to Gaara as Kakashi shut the door again, laughing Naruto turned his attention back to the front of the class.
"Ok, well now every one if here we can start" Kakashi said picking up a book
"Sasuke's not hear yet sensei" a girl called out, Sakura immediately recognized her from the previous fight in the library.
"Oh yes, does any one know were Sasuke is?" Kakashi asked the class
"She probably tried to hurt him again" the girl said pointing at Sakura
"What no I didn't" Sakura quickly started to protect when Ino cut in
"Hey bitch, how about I break that pretty little nose of yours"
"Though from the look of it some one already has" Tenten added causing the whole class to laugh.
"It was that bitch" the girl said pointing at Sakura
"AHAHAHA" Naruto fell of his chair laughing as the class erupted again, Sakura noticed even Kakashi smirked though no one else saw because of him mask.
"Shame kikiyo" some one shouted
"That new girl must be hard" another added
As kikiyo backed away from Ino and Tenten
"Wow Temari was right when she said no one would try and hurt me Ino doesn't even know me yet she's taking my side"
"Ohk calm down" Kakashi said taking control of the class aging before it got to out of hand again.
"In today's lesson we are going to finish reading the novel I gave you" and with that he pulled out an little orange book and started to read, as every one else got theirs out.
Sakura looked around spotting Naruto who was desperately trying to open a window with a Kunai.
"It's locked with a jutsu Naruto" Kakashi called not even bothering to look up
"Aww but sensei…"Naruto started
"Read" Kakashi said more firmly throwing a board rubber at his head; Sakura could tell he was trying not to smile.
"Ow" Naruto mumbles as he decided to it a sulk instead
Sakura looked behind her at Gaara, he was sat perfectly still in the corner with his eyes closed.
"I take it that's Tamari's brother, what's he doing?" She nudged Tenten
"Yeh that's our 'darling' Gaara, he always does it he's just meditating" Tenten answered
"He always does it don't worry about him that's just what Gaara does" Ino told her
"Oh" Sakura thought "well he's really hot" inner Sakura said as Sakura sneaked another look at him quickly gabbing a book that was flying straight at the back of her head.
"Wow nice reflexes" Naruto said as Sakura gracefully caught the book and turned round to face the front quickly opening it not before sneaking peak at Kakashi who simple nodded and returned to him own book.
"Wow that was really good" Tenten whispered
"Thanks" Sakura said shyly unknown to her a certain red head had opened his eyes just in time to see what happened and was now watching her with interest
"She was looking at you" Shukaku said
"hm"
"Oh don't hm me you know she was to and she's really hot"
"Shut up"
"Ok ok but you know I'm right"
After a 2 hour lesson Kakashi finally dismissed the class, Sakura found her self being steered away with Ino, Tenten and Naruto, Gaara was no were to be seen.
"Ramey hear I come" Naruto shouted sprinting down the hall way to the canteen the others slowly following. When the girls finally reached the canteen it was already full of students, they walked over to their table carrying their dinners. Hinata and Neji were already sitting down along with Temari, Shikamaru and a boy wearing makeup?
"Hey Sakura" Temari waved
"Hi"
"This is one of my younger brothers Kankuro" Temari nodded to the boy wearing make up.
"Hi nice to meet you' Sakura said extending a hand
"Nice to meet you to" Kankuro said eyeing her up "you single" he asked flashing her a smile as Temari hit him over the head with her fan.
"Please forgive my brother, he's a pervert, to many lessons with Jaria sensei" Temari said shaking her head
Laughing they all sat down and started to eat their lunch when a chubby boy came running up to their table accompanied by a boy wearing a hooded coat.
"Hey every one" they said as they reached the table
"Hey Choji, Kiba" Temari greeted them
"Hey sweetie" Kiba said kissing Ino
"Hey"
"Kiba, choji this is Sakura" Ino said motioning to her right
"Hi" Kiba nodded
"Hey" Sakura retuned the smile
"Wait Sakura, the Sakura" Choji asked sitting next to her "you're the one who beat up Sasuke's fan girls?" he asked
"Umm… well I didn't mean to" Sakura said looking worried
"Ah man I cant believe I missed it, I've always wanted to see them get it" Choji said as every one nodded in agreement
"You got all three of them pretty good" Kiba laughed
"Have u seen kikiyos nose" Ino asked laughing
"So you beat my fan girls" a voice said from behind Sakura
"Umm... I didn't know there were your fan girls I was just protecting myself" Sakura protested quickly as Sasuke sat down opposite them
"Ahahahaha" Naruto laughed "Hey people you should see her reflexes they are nearly as quick as Kakashi's" Naruto excitedly told every one.
"Wow really" Kiba asked looking really impressed
"Yeah she caught a book that Kakashi threw at her from behind" Tenten nodded in approval.
"Yeah believe it she's good"
"That my Sakura" Temari slung an arm round her "I new this kid was special" she ruffled her hair causing every one to laugh again as Sakura tried to sort her hair out.
"So you met my little brother to" Temari asked pointing to Gaara who had perched himself at the far end of the table.
"Oi Gaara you said Hello yet?" she shouted down the table
"Hm" He grunted ignoring his sister
"That's my little brother" Temari said proudly
"Woof" Something barked from under Kiba grey coat
"Shh Akamaru" Kiba hissed as Kakashi walked past
"Kiba you know you shouldn't have that dog at school" Kakashi said
"Dog? What dog" Kiba asked clueless "I don't have a dog t school, do you Ino?"
"No Kiba I don't have a dog, Tenten have you seen a dog?" Ino asked angelically.
"Oh no Ino never, I know we aren't allowed dogs at school" Tenten Said smugly
"Gee you girls" Kakashi walked off muttering something about bratty kids and innocent my ass, as the group tried to muffle their laughter.
"Hey Akamaru meet Sakura" Kiba said opening his coat a little to allow the dog to stick his head out.
"Woof" Akamaru barked
"Aww Kiba he's so cute" Sakura said ruffling Akamarus head.
"So what's every one up to tonight?" Ino asked
"Sleeping like normal people" Shikamaru muttered leaning his head on his girlfriends shoulder.
"That's what you think" Temari said slyly "we are going to throw a party to welcome Sakura"
"Yay Party" Naruto shouted hugging Hinata
"That's a great idea" Tenten said
"Well be there" Neji said
"Great my house 7:00" Temari said happily as every one nodded. "You'll love it Sakura we'll have a great night"
"Hey baka" Naruto called to Sasuke "Your gona come right" nudging the grumpy looking boy
"Wot eva" was the only answer he got
"That means yes, he's just trying to act cool" Naruto laughed ducking as Sasuke aimed a punch at his head.
"Thanks Temari, but I don't know were you live" Sakura said shyly
"Don't worry ill give you directions, were do you live?"
"Umm… 20 south sides" Sakura said thinking
"No kidding really?" Kankuro said joining the convocation
"Yeh... why is that bad" Sakura asked suddenly worried
"You could say that, since you got Temari as you neighbor" Naruto laughed receiving a glare from Temari
"Really you're my neighbors?" Sakura asked
"Yep. Oh my god we are going to have so much fun" Temari said hugging Sakura excitedly
"Any way I have one more lesson since I'm in a higher year than you" Temari said getting up "how are you getting home?"
"Umm ill walk the bus looks a bit dodgy" Sakura laughed
"Ohk well then Gaara can give you a life with Kankuro" Temari said grapping her bag
"Oh no it's ok I can walk" Sakura said quickly looking at Gaara
"No no it's fine they are going your way and I don't want you getting lost. Any way Gaara doesn't mind do ya?" Temari told Gaara
"hm" was the reply Gaara gave not even opening his eyes
"good good, well I'm off see you all later, Ino if you see the others tell them about to night" Temari said kissing shika quickly, "and Kankuro if you touch her ill set Gaara on you" Temari said as she ran out of the café leaving a scared looking Kankuro.
"Ohk then see you all later" Tenten said as the group began to disperse.
"Right let's go" Kankuro said looking at Gaara who silently turned and walked out. Sakura let Kankuro lead her to a small black car in the car park. She watched surprisingly as Gaara got in to the drivers side,
"Well get in them" he snapped not even looking at her
"oh um ok" Sakura said shakily "omg we are going to die" inner Sakura screamed "shut up" Sakura said trying to calm her self
"How comes Gaara is driving?" Sakura said trying not to sound worried "don't you have to be eighteen in Konoha?"
"Yeh but Gaara threatened a driving instructor to pass him" Kankuro laughed casually
"Ohh k we are going to die" Sakura gulped
Surprisingly Sakura got home safely except for the slight scare when Gaara didn't bother to wait for the traffic lights to change, causing a slight problem for the other drivers.
"Well thanks for the lift" Sakura said to Gaara "see you at 7:00"
"Yeah ok see you later" Kankuro said happily as he and Gaara when to their house as Sakura let her self in.
"Mum, I'm home" She called in to the house "Mum?" no answer
"She must have already left for work" inner Sakura said as she walking in to the kitchen, noticing a letter in the table Sakura picked it up.
"Sakura,
Sorry Hun, worked called trouble with the council in the sound village, had to rush of ill phone you later. Hope school was good love you
Mum x x x"
"Oh well suppose I should get my home work done, then get ready" Sakura thought walking up stairs
