Chapter 1: Welcome Back

Sakura's POV

It was a bright and warm morning. I was making my way to school. I was excited. Today was the first day back from summer break. I was now in my second year at Konoha High. I really like my school especially since I became one of the top students.

We learn so much in Konoha high and they really help us with our gifts; not many high schools do that. I think more should though since we live in Kage. Everyone in the country Kage contains a special power. That is the most wonderful thing about this country. It isn't as great as it seems to some because we (Kageins) are only born with one ability.

I finally reached the school and a huge grin appeared on my face. I observed the huge white building before making my way to the front doors. My heart began to race. I could feel my grin getting wider and tried to fight against it. I just couldn't wait! I began to speed walk to the doors. Today should be a good day. My class schedule was looking good and my cousin was suppose to be transferring today. I knew things would be so much more fun with her attending Konoha High.

I opened the school doors and made my way through the huge crowd of students in the hall. Everyone was getting reacquainted with each other. Students were leaning against the lockers, chatting away. I seen a few familiar faces and some new ones. I scanned the area to see if I could find a few friends. As I was looking around I bumped into someone.

"Oh my god, watch it billboard brow!" Ino, I thought.

"Why don't you watch it, Ino." I shot back.

She furrowed her brow and folded her arms. "Maybe if your four head wasn't so big you would have been able to see me," She said to me telepathically.

"Bite me." I shot back telepathically.

Ino and I shared the same power and she hated it. We were friends once; at the beginning of last year that is. We were really close. Inseparable some might say. Then people started to compare us because we shared the same power. They would say things like, "Who knows how to use it better." It went to her head and she began to flaunt her stuff. In the end she became the popular one. The one who got to hang around all of the popular guys. Even the one I liked. She claimed to like him first. An argument that never ended.

"Just move outta my way." She said while bumping me.

I gritted my teeth. I wish I had the gift to throw flames. You'd be my first target. I thought stomping to my homeroom. I stopped at the front door to view who was in my class. No one I knew well except one. Naruto. Though I really didn't want to be in homeroom with him. He could be troublesome and annoying.

He was seated in the front so I decided to sit in the front. I wonder who my homeroom teacher would be. As I was sitting the sound of someone sneezing startled me. It came from beside me. I turn to look. There was a girl beside me. I hadn't notice since she was quiet. She looked at me and smiled.

"Hello," I spoke to her telepathically.

Her eyes widened. "Did I hear..." I heard her think.

"Yeah, that was me. My gift is telepathy. I'm Sakura and you could speak or think if you want."

"Hello, my name is Hinata."

Eventually Hinata and I chatted verbally, but it didn't last long because the teacher walked in a few minutes later. Though it was homeroom it was also first period. I was glad it was a subject I like. Math.

"Good morning class," he spoke. "I am your homeroom/ math teacher Iruka. This should be a good year and I am looking forward to teaching you all."

Naruto's POV

Man I was glad first period was over. It was one more class down to get my school day out of the way. In all honesty I really didn't want my school day to in for a number of reasons: 1. my parent's are dead so I would have to go home to my old mean grandpa, 2. I actually liked this school, though I don't like math, but I do like Iruka, 3. I am determined to be somebody in this school one day. I may not be the most popular guy and I know I do a lot of meddling stuff. But in a couple years I am going to graduate as one of the most skilled students. I will be recognized. I will be somebody. Believe it!

I was looking forward to my next class. It was PE with one of my favorite teachers. Instructor Jiraiya. He was rather a perv and joked around a lot. He especially picked on me, but it was fun. I wonder if we're going to play a sport today? I thought as I walked with my hands behind my head.

I didn't notice other students leaving the gym. I was to busy staring at the ceiling. I ended up bumping into someone.

"You should watch where you're going, Naruto." It was third year student, Neji Hyuga. He shook his head at me and continued walking.

"That guy." I spat.

Once in the gym Jiraiya sensei took the attendance. "Alright class today we're going to start by doing some jumping jacks. Now, go!" He finished by blowing his whistle.

We ended up doing thirty. It was no problem though because I can handle anything. Then we had to run in place for 60 seconds. Lastly he made each of us do 25 push ups. He should of gave us fifty. Guess he was going easy on us since it was a unisex class.

"Alright class today we will be playing a game of basketball. I see there is 12 of you in the class, so teams of six will be formed. Before we get into that though I will have each of you stand up, starting from row one, and say your names. A way for unfamiliars to get to know each other"

He pointed to some short kid with glasses to start, "Jerry, Kim, Rock Lee, Fred, Kai, Naruto, Shikamaru, Ino, Miyu, Lui, Choji, Shin!"

After we each introduced ourselves he broke us off into our teams. I was upset to be on the same team as Shikamaru and Choji. Shikamaru was too lazy and all Choji did was eat chips. The game would have been more interesting if the teach let us use our powers. But no, he forbade it.

Not surprisingly we ended up losing the game.

"Oh, come on, Choji, you could've at least try to play!" I yelled grabbing handfuls of my hair.

"Hey! Excuse me for taking a snack break," he said while munching on potato chips.

"Aggghh,"

"Naruto, calm down. It's just a game." I heard Shikamaru say.

I didn't care if it was just a game. What if I got teamed up with them again and continued to lose. The bell finally rung and I quickly made my way out of the gym. I was pissed. Once in the hall I slowed down. I was in no rush to go to my next class. Art.

Sakura's POV

It was lunchtime and I still haven't seen my cousin. She was a year ahead of me, but I was growing aggravated. I went through four classes and still no Ayame. With my paper bag in hand I headed to the lunchroom. I was sure she'd be there. Of course she'd be there it was lunch time.

As I was walking a seen a familiar face exit a classroom. It was Sasuke! I felt my cheeks heat up, my heart race and sweat form on my palms. The way he exited the class was so cool. He was so cool. Everything about him is just so cool!

My pace became slower. He turned my way and gave me a light wave. I could have sworn my heart stopped. I waved back and began to walk towards him. I thought maybe he would like to eat lunch with me. Before I could even speak a group of girls also exited the classroom and huddled around him.

Oh, dammit. I really wanted to talk to Sasuke, but this stupid girls just wouldn't go away. Life would be so much easier if I was the only girl who liked Sasuke. I saw Sasuke casually walk out of the group of babbling girls. They began to follow him but he turned and glared at them.

"Could you guys just back off." He said in his super cool sexy voice.

"Sure, Sasuke we'll go."

"See you around." that girl winked. Yuck.

Once the girls left he began to walk my way. I instantly became excited. Now I had a chance to speak to him.

"Hey, Sasuke," I said.

Before he could say anything I decided to read his thoughts. I don't do it often because I respect others privacy, but I just had to know if he thought anything about me.

"Sakura? Well at least she doesn't annoy me like those other girls. Well...At least not as much."

Wow he was thinking about me! I thought.

"Sup."

"I see you're not headed toward the cafeteria. Do you plan on eating lunch today?" I asked.

He shrugged, "Nah, I'm going to head to the gym."

"Oh...If you were eating lunch would you eat with me?"

He shrugged again. "Don't you have anyone to eat with?"

"I was hoping to spot my cousin in the lunch room."

"Who's your cousin."

"Her name's Ayame. She's a new student here. She's a third year, blue hair, brown eyes. Have you seen her?"

He shook his head. I sighed. "Thanks anyway." I waved bye and we went our separate ways. Hopefully I would see her in the lunch room.

I walked into the cafeteria and scanned the huge area. Students were getting their food and socializing. I stood at the entrance and soon spotted the two navy blue pigtails I was looking for. She was seated at a round table near a window. She wasn't alone. She was conversing with two other girls. It wasn't surprising, Ayame has always been friendly.

I walked over to her. I tapped her shoulder causing her to turn around. She stared at me for a moment before grinning. She grabbed my arm and pulled me down.

"Hey, Sakura! I was wondering when I'd finally see you."

"Same here. How is your first day going?" I was hoping that it went well. Ayame thought her old school sucked, reason being why she transferred. She said they didn't prepare students properly for the future.

"It's great. I know I don't know anyone, but I'm enjoying myself."

"Do you like your classes?" I asked taking my turkey sandwich out of my bag. By now the two other girls gave their farewells.

She nodded, "Yeah, I am. I really can't wait for my gift training class. Sadly I don't have that today."

Lunch went by quickly. "I guess it's time to head back to class." Ayame said.

"Normally, but there's an assembly first."

The hall was flooded with students trying to get to the auditorium. People were bumping me left and right. Ayame and I sat in a middle row. It was very noisy within the auditorium. A faint sound of shushing could be heard from various teachers. The students didn't pay them any mind.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Was heard coming from the stage. The once noisy auditorium became so quiet you could hear imaginary crickets chirping. Our principle, Lady Tsunade, cleared her throat before going on.

Ayame's POV

The assembly didn't last longer than a half hour and I was now on my 6th period class. I reached the classroom and noticed there still was a class inside. I leaned against the wall waiting for them to leave. The door opened and one by one they exited.

There was a guy and girl who exited together. The girl with the two buns linked her arm with the long haired boys. I got off the wall to make my way into the class.

"Neji, after school how bout we grab some smoothies." The girl said.

He didn't respond and I noticed he was eying me. He wouldn't take his eyes off me and it was forcing me to stare back. I raised an eyebrow. His action confused me. I eventually turned my head shrugging the situation off.

Neji's POV

That girl, I knew that girl. I went to middle school with that girl. She probably didn't know who I was, it was a few years ago. I was too shy to speak to her then and stupidly didn't speak to her now.

"Neji? Neji!?" Tenten said interrupting my trance.

"Yes."

I saw her raise an eyebrow. "Are you blushing? Am I making you blush?" She said with a grin. I didn't answer she. however continued to speak, "Want to grab some smoothies at the cafe after school?"

Still stuck on seeing that girl I nodded my head. As we walked down the hall Tenten continued to talk. I tried to listen, but my thoughts kept going back to that girl. I was trying to remember her name and I kept wondering if I would eventually have class with her. I tried to shake the thoughts but to no avail.

Ayame's POV

A few people followed behind me as I made my way into class. They all began to take their seats. I was told this was a mix class with different leveled students in it. I guess it didn't matter what grade you were in to take world studies. I searched for an empty seat and found one by a black haired boy. He was leaned back into his chair observing the ceiling. I set my books down and sat next to him.

"Hi, I'm Ayame Haruno." I said smiling.

He didn't look at me, "Sasuke Uchiha."

"Nice to meet you."

I could see him gaze at me through my peripherals. He sat up and shifted his body in my direction. I turned to face him and smiled.

"I guess you're who Sakura was looking for," He said.

"Oh I guess so," I giggled. "Are you and my little cousin friends?"

He shrugged, "She's not bothersome like most girls here."

I raised my eyebrow. "Look around," he said.

I turned my head to view the rest of the class. I noticed that half of the females were giving me dirty looks. I turned back to Sasuke.

"See what I mean," he said.

I nodded. "Is it really a crime around here to talk to you?" I ask jokingly.

"Just ignore them."

I smirk, "They don't bother me. I don't make enemies easily so everything will be alright." I gave him a thumbs up and winked.

He shifted his body to the front of the class, placed his hands behind his head and smirked.

It was the next day and there was a small break before the start of first period. I met up with Sakura and we sat in her homeroom. It was pretty noisy since her instructor had stepped out.

"Was your first day good?" She asked.

"Yes! I met lots of people and I enjoyed my classes."

Before our conversation could continue her homeroom instructor came in. The room instantly became quiet. The young instructor looked distraught.

"Class I have some news, shocking news," he said.

"What is Mr. Iruka?" Sakura had asked.

"I was just informed that Principle Tsunade is out today because...Because...She is ill." Everyone in the classroom gasped.

"What's the big deal?" I whisper to Sakura.

"This is terrible!" She said slamming her hands on the desk.

"I don't get it," I say.

She turns to look at me, "Lady Tsunade's gift is to heal. ADVANCE HEALING. She never gets sick because she constantly heals herself." Her attention returns to her teacher. "Why didn't she just heal herself?"

Iruka sighed and stared at his desk. "She can't. No matter how much—they said she just can't. They said she will be out for a while for she is going out of the city to get medical treatment. It's very serious. She is very ill and her powers are gone."

"This is terrible!" Sakura screams again. I see tears form into her eyes. I knew it was bad but wasn't expecting this kind of reaction from her.

"Sakura, are you ok?" I ask placing a hand on her shoulder.

"I worship her," She whispered to me. "Is Vice Principle Shizune taking over?" She asked.

Mr. Iruka shakes his head. Before speaking he gazes at the class. "All of this is so hard to take in," He said silently. "Ms. Shizune has gone missing."

I could her gasps again. I even gasped. I looked at Sakura and noticed the look of shock written on her face.

Mr. Iruka continued, "We will have to replace her as well. The head of the school district is finding us a new principle as we speak."
