"Oi! You, hurts." A guy in a black suit with cat ears and the guy's face was covered in purple painting.
Apparently, Konohamaru bumped him.
"Kankuro, we don't have time for this." The blonde-haired girl, whose hair was in four spiky pony tails, said to him.
"Don't worry, Temari . It'll be a second." The guy named Kankuro said.
"Hey! That's our friend there!" An angry blonde-haired with ocean-like eyes, tanned-skin and the strangest feature was his whiskers attached on his face. He was quite cute. He has the Kyubbi inside his body. And his dream was to be the next-hokage. Named, Naruto Uzumaki.
Besides him were a cherry blossom-haired girl, pale skin and viridian eyes. Her name is Sakura Haruno.
She was oddly quite.
I wonder what's Daiki doing now?
Shut your trap!
What-
Shut it! Listen!
The pink-haired vixen awkwardly obeyed her split-personality. She saw a red-haired, he has a gourd on his back and on his top-left was a "kanji" tattoo, and means love. This boy reminded Sakura as a grumpy panda or a raccoon because of his eyes, his eyes were out-lined with black…Eyeliner? (Well, it really looks like.) His eye-color was greenish-sea foam.
What an odd boy. His aura is so sad-wait a minute, a kanji tattoo?
"Sakura…?" The panda-like boy said. All heads snapped at Sakura.
"Gaara?" She croaked. She couldn't believe it! Her childhood friend, Gaara was here. She missed him so much.
Her blonde team mate, Naruto was confused. But she couldn't help, a pair onyx eyes were watching her. It was one her team mate's, Sasuke Uchiha's. Sasuke's clan-blood limit was Sharigan. They say the Sharigan has few more levels, Mangekyo Sharigan, blaze release and Eternal Mangekyo Sharigan. The Uchiha clan their eyes were their Kekkei genkai. But the Uchiha clan was killed by Itachi Uchiha, former ANBU captain at the age 13 and Sasuke's older brother. Itachi let his little brother alive, leaving Sasuke's mind filled in revenge for his clan. She saw his duck-butt, raven hair; almost tanned-skin and his handsome face were facing at her.
"Sakura," Gaara hug her but it was more like a friend hug, "I missed you, so much." He said while spilling a few tears. Sakura did spill some few tears as well. He couldn't help to sniff her hair. Hmm…Strawberries, He thought, it's so…So intoxicating. He remembered day when he first met her.
~~~~Flashback~~~~
A small red-haired boy was playing on a sandbox. He seemed to be lonely, kids afraid of him. No one wants to play with him.
"Hello, there! What's your name?" A chirpy voice said. It was little Sakura.
"Gaar-ra." He stammered, this girl didn't run away like the others, why?
"Name's, Sakura!" Sakura gleamed.
"Why aren't you afraid of me…?"
"Why? You don't seem scary. Are you scary?" Sakura innocently asked.
"I don't think so but the other kids said so." He started crying.
"Well, you're not that scary! You seemed nice! Say what they want, they're maybe hardly true. It's not their business, anyway." Sakura grinned.
"Yeah…You're right." He stopped crying but he released a few tears of happiness.
"You, know Gaara. I think we're going to be great friends!"
"Yeah…" Gaara, finally smiled. A friend…
~~~~End Flashback~~~~
After that, Sakura left because her father was having a job in Konoha. Eventually, Gaara cherished the memories of him and Sakura.
"So, are you participating in the Chunin exams?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah and my siblings are participating too." Gaara said as he introduced Temari and Kankuro to his pink-haired friend.
"Well, good luck at the Chunin exams!" Sakura grinned. Gaara didn't replied, he just smirked as he walked with his siblings.
Who's that, my child? A voice said. It was Shukaku.
That's Sakura, Shukaku. Gaara replied in his thoughts.
She's indeed interesting. Shukaku chuckled.
The sand-siblings left.
"Umm…Sakura is that Gaara kid, friends of yours?" Naruto's voice was filled with jealousy.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" She replied happily.
"Sakura…Is he your boyfriend?" Sasuke's voice said.
"Yeah," Sakura said.
"WHAT?" The two male and Konohamaru yelled.
"He's a boy and a friend! Boy-friend." Sakura said as she thought as the obivius thing in the world.
The three boys sighed in relief.
How can that sand-demon is Sakura's boyfriend? She's too innocent! The three boys thought the same thing.
~~~~The next day~~~~
Sasuke came early and Sakura too, came early. Sasuke was prepared for Sakura's good-mornings but it never came.
That's weird. Sasuke thought.
Then, Naruto came.
"SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto said loudly, maybe too loud but Sakura ignored him. Naruto was shock that Sakura usually, yelled at him for being too loud or something.
I wonder what Sakura's thinking? Naruto thought.
"Yo…" A silver-haired with a masked that only has hole at the right eye and the other was covered with his mask, he has a jonin-vest. Named, Kakashi Hatake. He can copy, over hundred jutsus with his Sharigan. Although Kakashi is not an Uchiha, he's former team mate implanted it to him. He's the leader of Team seven.
"YOU'RE LATE, KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Naruto yelled…Usually Sakura yelled Kakashi being late but she didn't. It was quite strange. She seemed to be thinking something.
"Many of you, already knew about the Chunin exams," he said as he peeked on them and he's, apparently reading an orange book, Icha-Icha paradise. "Here's the application form for the exams." He stated but kept thinking about Sakura's behavior. Sakura was very oddly quite the whole time.
"Sakura?" Kakashi said.
You, little imbecile! Remember The Deal with Ry-
Don't say his name! Please, don't! I remembered The Deal, please don't say his name, please.
Good, know your place, you, vile useless doll.
Yes, forgive me.
He'll be there watching and testing us at the Chunin exams, don't mess this up.
"Sakura!" Kakashi's voice reached to her ears. Her head snapped at her sensei.
"Sorry, something is on my mind." Sakura said who trying is made an excuse.
"Okay, tomorrow. 7am at the training grounds."
