~Day 1~

A light white blanket of snow slowly trickled down from the dark and gloomy grey sky on early afternoon on the town of Konoha. Seventeen year old Sakura Haruno let a sigh escape her perfectly pink lips, looking out toward the dark city in a deep depression the winter weather always brought her. This time of year had always been the worst for her, but she was determines to make it work though, like she managed to do in some way or another. She shifted her jade eyes toward her blond companion who sat directly to her left.

"This seriously sucks." The pinkette said letting out a huff.

"Stop with all this complaining forehead."

Ino, her best friend, would always give her a hard time. Thats why they were bestfriends. Sakura wanted to object to her friends nick-name for her, after all, years of wishing, she had finally grown into her forehead.. for the most part at least, it wasn't going to get much better then it was now, and she had accepted it.

Plus, did Ino really believe that just anyone could look like her? No, she was one of a kind. Always has and always will be. With long blond hair and piercing sky blue eyes, she could easily be a model. Life was sure unfair sometime.. rolling her jade eyes, Sakura, heard a very familiar voice call to them. Craning her pink head of hair to her left, beyond Ino, she say another beautiful face, this time belonging to a young woman with stunning teal eyes.

"Hey girls."

"Hey Mari" Ino answer back.

Temari was also one of their best friends. She was tall, tan, and beautiful with a fierce attitude to match. People knew not to mess with her, she could be cold and aggressive toward anyone who crossed a thin line. That's why they all loved her, ever since she came around people always steered clear of Sakura and her group of girls. Temari and TenTen are probably two of the scariest girls on the planet, come to think of it. Well, second in line after the gym teacher, Anko. Now that woman was really bat-shit crazy.

"Is Sakura in one of her 'I hate winter' moods again?" She asked looking at the pink haired girl who continued to look out toward the window.

"Do you even have to ask?"

Hearing Ino's sarcastic comment caused the pinkette to make a slight volgur hand jester in her direction. The blond giggled lightly seeing her friends childish action. Leave it to Sakura to do something like that.

"Maybe this will cheer her up. My dad gave me the cabin for the week. He said we could spend all break up there."

Hearing the news, a blond head of hair lept off her chair and threw he hands into the air in pure excitement. Squealing and words soon followed but they were too high pitched and jumbled to make out. Taking in a deep breath she clapped her hands -like a retarded seal as TenTen called it- and broke the silence that was now around the small class room. A sheepish grin crossed her face as she sat back into her seat and leaned over to where he friend now sat.

"Seriously? The whole break?"

"Yeah. Dad, Kankuro and Gaara all left for Suna to visit their mom while I stayed behind. He said he didn't want me alone and parts of our house are still under contraction so he said to just take the cabin instead."

"That's seriously cool of him." Ino spoke, excitement laced every word.

"Hell yea! You, me, TenTen, Hinata, and even you Saku-"

Sakura interrupted. "Not a chance, you won't get me all the way up into the mountains and not expect me to complain."

Cutting her off before she could even finish her sentence, the pinkette snapped her head around 360 degrees and shot a look of disgust and pure shock at her dirty blond friend. How could she even think Sakura would go on such a trip?! A trip to Yukigakure was out of the question! All she wanted to do was sit in her nice warm house with her mother and watch re-runs of Charlie Brown and Rudolf like she did every year. Was that too hard to understand? No, no it wasn't.

"Don't worry" She started her rebuttal, to Sakura's dismay. "I already called the people who live next door and they said they have gotten less snow this year then what Konoha has gotten."

Cream colored ear perked up. Now this was interesting. Without another thought Sakura spoke again, this time with happiness and composure. Maybe this winter wouldn't be as bad as she first thought. There was always a bright side to things like this, right? Maybe she had just found hers.

"Count me in!"

Blue and teal eyes rolled at their friends display of childish behavior. Did she ever act her age? Probably not. Shifting in her brown wooden seat, Sakura faced her two companions with a smile on her face, eager to hear more about their upcoming travels. Temari spoke up in the silence.

"I was planning on telling the guys too, they have all been stressed out on finals and what not, this is the perfect opportunity for all of us."

"Sounds good to me!" Ino spoke in another one of her high- pitched voices.

"But no Sasuke, right...?"

Silence one again swept through the small group of girls. Jade eyes widened in disbelief as she looked into her friends guilty face. She knew that face, all too well. Shaking her head, long pink hair fluttered back and forth. Her face switched between surprise to fear to anger. Something she was more then less famous for, she had a mean temper on her and everyone knew it, to some extent at least.

Now, it was no surprise to anyone at Konoha High that Sakura and Sasuke were, none the less, mortal enemies. Hell, you didn't even have to be at school to know! As long as you knew one of the two you knew about the other, and what you heard was never pretty.

One minute the pinkette and raven were perfectly content being around each other, some would even say friends, maybe even more at times. But after one weekend they both came back to school changed. Angry with one another. No one knew exactly what had happened and the two never talked about it. If they were around each other for more then ten minutes there was going to be bloodshed.

"Are you two still on bad terms?"

"Ino, you know as well as I do that he's a total prick. Plus a player and he thinks he can just buy whatever he pleases with-"

"Ugh, not this again." The blond groaned listening to her ground babble on.

Walking through the sliding doors into the class room of 2-B came two more girls. Named TenTen and Hinata. Walking up to the group of girls, the two sat down with smiles that could captivate anyone that came in contact with them, they were so bright, so vibrant.

At that moment Sakura stopped her rambling and smiled back to the two girls. At this point the overwhelming feeling of adventure and life was coming back into her. She loved being around all of her friends, and for a whole week? Things were going to be great! She had remembered going to Teamri's cabin for the first time over summer and it was nothing short of amazing.

"It's all set. The boys said they're in." The burnette chimed in looking over at Temari with a smile.

"Great! This weekend is going to be great!"

"Most definitely! The ten of us friends sitting by the fire, drinking hot chocolate, playing games, it all sounds good to me!"

Confusion swept over Sakura who looked questionably at her bum-headed friend.

"Ten?" She asked.

"Yea?" TenTen began with a laugh. "All of us girls plus all of the boys."

The two girls who had just stepped into the room looked at the petit friends with the long pastel colored locks in confusion. Temari had planned to tell Sasuke before she told Sakura about their plans. She knew that Sakura would object otherwise, and she was right. The blond knew her friend just as she knew herself, maybe even better. Sakura shot a look of anger over at Temari and the other girls. For someone like Sakura who had such a high IQ, her friends tended to out-smart her quit a bit.

"Temari, what the hell?!" Sakura spat.

Shrugging her shoulders in return all she could come up with in return was something simple that made her friend go ridged with anger and fear.

"If I told you he was coming I knew you wouldn't. Either was its going to be fun, we're going to have a good time. You're not the only one who will be there with him. Lighten up."

It was Ino's turn to speak now "Sakura just trust us, will you?"

Rolling her eyes in protest she gave a small huff though her cherry lip-glossed lips and turner her head back toward the window. Maybe they had a point, as long as the whole group was going there shouldn't be a problem between them. All she had to do was avoid Sasuke like the plague for seven days. Simple right?

"Look, we're all meeting up at the coffee house after school to smooth out the little details." The dirty blond betrayer spoke again.

"Fine.."

After school the five girls drove up to their home town coffee house to figure out things to do with their free week off of school. They pulled into the parking lot and piled out of Ino's light blue 2013 Honda, something she always loved to show off. They heard the bell right above the door as they walked through to find the boys had already arrived and gathered into the large booth in the back of the small room.

Later that day, after meeting with the others, Sakura was dropped off at her small home on 102 Village Dr. by Ino and the other girls. She had still a little disappointment and worry that Sasuke was going to partake in this little trip that that had already planned out. She walked into her home and heard the warm and caring voice that always made her the happiest.

"How was school?"

"The usual."

Sakura's mother had always asked her the same question everyday since sixth grade and she gave the same answer, the usual.

"Doesn't sound like it, what's wrong?"

Explaining the situation, in detail and vulgar terms thrown here and there, Sakura looked up to her mother with a worried face. She had asked for advice to deal with her emotionally crippled enemy and her overly certain friends. Good advices, one that her mother said she could crush Sasuke under her iron fist! But, nonetheless, no such advice came.

"Sometimes you just have to be the bigger person."

"I guess so."

Getting off of the couch and walking out of the room, Sakura's mom went back into the kitchen to finish her third bottle of Saki for the night until she passed out until the next morning. It had been her daily routine since her husband, and Sakura's father walked out on them fourteen years ago.

Sakura opened all of her dresser drawers and pulled out an old suitcase and started packing. For some reason, her mother has talked her into going on the trip and to not pay any attention to the man that was going. See seemed to be at peace.

Six o'clock rolled around and Sakura was all packed up and ready to go on the trip. She sat on the couch waiting for one of the girls to come and get her. It seemed so long and she sat on the edge of her seat. Hearing a car horn hank, Sakura jumped from her seat and grabbed her suitcase and headed out the door.

"Bye mom!"

"Bring back more sakiii!" She yelled the moment before she passed out.

Rolling her apple green eyes, she opened the white wooden from her house andlooked around to see one of her girlfriends cars waiting for her. She didn't see it. She turned around and began to walk back into her home until she heard he car horn again. Snapping back around she saw a pitch black sports car parked on the other side of the street.

"Hurry up Pinky!" She head someone call.

Walking toward the black 2014 Audi R8 the tinted window began to roll down on the passenger side. He eyes shot open once more as the sight of black hair and onyx eyes. It couldn't be..

"Sasuke?! Why the hell are you here?"

"To take you to the cabin idiot. Now stop being annoying and put your things in the trunk or I leave you here."

"Shut up! I meant why are you the one picking me up?"

"It was all forced. Everyone else was ridding up with their couple, that just leaves us. Now are you going to get in to not?"

"I'm still debating, I don't want to catch any diseases that you or your car might have from all the sluts you 'take to town."

"…Get the fuck in the car." He said while rolling up the tinted window.

Opening the trunk, Sakura put her bag and purse in the far back so that nothing would be lost. She climbed into the passenger seat next to Sasuke who stared at her still upset about that comment. Sakura smirked evilly at him in a satisfaction way that she had won the first battle out of many.

The car was mostly silent except the radio which bleared rock music. Sakura looked at Sasuke and the radio in disgust. He caught her looking at him a few times before he finally got fed up with it and turned down the music just low enough for her to hear him.

"Problem?"

"Just wondering what kind of crap we're listening to."

"Crap? This is All Time Low."

"Name sure fits…"

"Hn, Princess, can't you ever be please?"

"When I'm around you? No."

And hour and a half went by in the car as the two teenagers still drove and made their way up into the mountains. The color of the sky changed and it turned from a light gray to a darker one. Light snowflakes began to fall until it became a blizzard. The snow came from ever corner of the world it seemed, engulfing the car in a white blanket.

"I can't see shit!" The raven blurted out in anger.

"If I remember right, the cabin should only be a few meow minutes away, think we can make it?"

"We'll find out."

Working their way through the snow the two finally managed to react the top of the hill where the cabin that Temari's family owned was. The pink and raven haired kids took their things out of the trunk and pushed their way through the snow making their way to the door. Sakura remembered that they always left a spear key under the mat so she dug under the snow and unlocked the door.

Walking through the door the living room of the cabin was big and dark. They were the first one's there. Dropping their heavy luggage at the door, the swiftly took off their snow soaked shoes and tossed them to the side next to the big wooden door on the brown wooden floor. Stumbling left and right, Sakura finally managed to turn on a few lights around the living too.

Another hour had passed and the blizzard was still going strong. Sakura had turned the heater on high and Sasuke had started the fireplace. They didn't speak to each other and kept their distance. Things seemed to be going fine, with the in the same room.

Sakura made her way to the kitchen as she rummaged through the fridge and cabinets. There was always plenty of food here and it created such a good meal each and every time. Sakura could feel the vibration of the phone in the left back pocket and dug it out quickly, opened her phone and spoke.

"Temari! Oh thank god! Where are you guys?! I'm about to ring Sasuke's neck its been like two hours! I can't be here with him any long or I'll be charged with murder!"

"Sakura, listen, we can't get though. All of the roads are closed off. There is no way we'll be able to get to the cabin until the storm stops and the plows get thought. I'm sorry kiddo!"

"Bu-!"

"Look, Shikamaru needs me to get off of the phone and held him get out of this damned storm. Be brave and hide the knifes. Love you!"

And with a click, the screen on her phone lit up, signaling the end of their call. Talking in a short breath of disbelief The pinkette slid her phone back into there her jean packed and smaller her head into the closest cabinet.

"Fuuuuck myyyy liiiiife."
