'Inner Sakura'
'Anyone's thoughts'
A New Beginning
This year will be Sakura's 16th birthday, her 8th time moving, her 4th time changing schools and her 2nd time losing a parent. Why, you ask? Sakura used to live in Nagoya, Japan with her mother. Her father never really planned on having children, so he left earlier on in her life. Sakura and her mother fit in with the general population when it came to financials. So they could be placed in middle class. Earlier this year her mother went out late to pick up groceries.
Later that morning she was found on the street, beaten and bruised to death by some local thugs. Sakura stayed out of school for only two days. She applied for a job to pay rent on her mothers' apartment. She'd finally gotten a steady after school job, when social services told her she had to live in either a foster home, or have an adoptive family. Sakura chose the latter. Sakura would rather be stuck with one family so when she left only one family would miss her. So eventually she was introduced to a woman named Tsunade.
Tsunade appeared much too young to be in her fifties or sixties, but Sakura never questioned it. So she packed her bags and left for Tokyo, Japan. So this is where Sakura's story begins.
Sakura heard a loud beeping noise come from the left side of her bed. She groaned and began to smack it until it stopped. She sighed with bliss when it did. But it became short-lived when it started five minutes later. Sakura eventually became fed up and just pulled the plug out of the socket. She buried her face in the pillow hoping to sleep forever. Her door burst open to see none other than Tsunade.
"WAKE UP SAKURA!!!!!" Tsunade practically shouted in Sakura's ear.
Sakura shot up and growled at her. She is not a morning person.
"OKAY! NOW GET THE HELL OUT!" Sakura was taught to yell by Tsunade herself.
Tsunade grinned and told her she was leaving. Sakura waved as she exited the room. She slid out of bed and shivered. 'Tsunade always keeps the house so damn cold!'
Sakura went into the bathroom clad in boxers and a camisole. She peeled off the sweaty materials and started the shower. Sakura scowled at her legs.
"Crap. I hate shaving. I'll do it tomorrow." Sakura sighed as she hopped into the shower.
Sakura slapped a glob of shampoo on her pink tresses and rinsed it out. She took a bar of soap and scrubbed lightly until she was content with the texture difference on her skin. Sakura preferred showers over baths any day. For some reason she found baths much to relaxing for her taste. So what if Tsunade yelled at her for not leaving any hot water? It was definitely worth it.
Sakura opened the showers door and pulled a towel off the rack. Once covered, she went back to her room. After some quick drying she dressed herself. A simple pair of black jeans, and a red and black graphic tee shirt, with a pair of chucks. She spun around in the mirror and winked as well. Sakura ran downstairs swiftly and picked up her backpack. She took a glance towards the kitchen and grimaced. She hated lying to Tsunade. But, ever since her mother died, breakfast just lost its' ring and no longer held interest.
So Sakura made her way out the door. She bent over and pulled the spare key out from under the welcome mat, stuck it into the keyhole and twisted it until the door locked. Tsunade always left early. For her today was extremely late. So Sakura had to lock the door, check messages, and make breakfast- which she never did- in the mornings. She slid the key back under the mat and went down the fire escape of the apartment complex. On a rusty bike rack was her red bike, of which she received as a moving gift from Tsunade. She hopped on it and maneuvered through early morning traffic in the parking area.
Sakura was really grateful for the bike. She knew Tsunade couldn't afford a car, so she could settle for this. And plus, it kept her in shape as well. And honestly she preferred it. The crisp morning air always awoke her senses and prepared for the day to come. Speaking of the day, this will be her first day attending Konohagure high school. It took Tsunade awhile to find a school without uniforms. But, luckily she knew the principal at Konoha high. In fact, they've known each other since they were kids.
As Sakura rode through the busy streets of Tokyo she pondered what her first day would be like. Would she be an outcast? Would she be popular? Would she make friends or be ignored? While she pondered these thoughts the light for the intersection turned green so she attempted to turn. A driver that wasn't exactly paying attention bumped her bike slightly, causing her to fall over. She picked herself up and glared at the Nissan Altima that just bumped her.
"Watch where you're going asshole! Try to keep your fucking eyes on the God damn road!" Sakura shouted at the car.
Sakura sneered and hopped on her slightly damaged bike. She pedaled down the road.
The drivers of said car were a tad bit shocked at such a vulgar display of anger. Little did Sakura know, she had just made a horrible first impression on her soon-to-be classmate and her teacher.
Sakura continued her pride-filled pedaling until she came to the entrance of her new school. She sighed and brought her red bike to a near bike rack. Sakura latched a lock onto the wheel of her bike and the bar of the rack. She looked to her right and saw a cute purple bike next to hers and an . . . . orange and yellow bike after that. Sakura was horrified.
'Holy shit! That bike is so tacky!!!'
'MY EYES!!! THEY BURN!!!'
'Who the hell would even be fool enough to buy this piece of crap?!'
Just as she thought that a guy with blonde bushy hair came up to her. He actually was pretty attractive. He had pretty blue eyes, these scars that looked kinda like whiskers; he was pretty well built too. The only flaw was, he wore a lot of orange.
'I think I just found the owner.'
'Oh my God! He's hot, but what's with the orange?!'
The blonde headed boy bends down to Sakura's level.
"Hey, I'm Uzumaki Naruto, admiring my wheels?" Naruto got a foxy grin on his face.
"I'm Haruno Sakura! And hehe, of course!" 'HELL NO!!' Sakura fake smiled.
Naruto got a real serious look on his face as he contemplated something. Then out of nowhere he gave her a huge hug.
"Sakura-chan!!!! I'll show you around!!!" Naruto dragged Sakura inside the school.
Naruto pulled her into the main hallway and pointed to a door.
"That's the Main Office! In there you'll find the secretary, nurse's office, and principal's office. Oh! Stay away from the Jiraiya-sensei; I swear he's a pervert." Naruto whispered.
They continued down the hallway until reaching room 508. Sakura looked at her schedule. This was her homeroom. She and Naruto went inside and put their books on randomly selected desks. Sakura pulled a watch out of her back pack.
"Oh man, we're really early. I guess I could just go chill in the library. Hey? Naruto-kun, will you show me to the library?" Sakura questioned.
Naruto turned around and had a puzzled look on his face.
"What's a library?" Naruto was being serious.
Sakura tried not to laugh as she took his hand and started dragging him down the hall.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to show you!" Sakura chuckled.
Maybe this year wouldn't suck so badly. Sakura had already made one friend, even if he wasn't the most intelligent person in the world. She hadn't embarrassed herself yet either. So I guess it would be safe for her to say, today was going to be a great day.
So? How was it?
Sasuke, Itachi, Ino, Hinata, and Shikamaru come in the next chappie for sure!
This is not ShikaIno, it's gonna be ShikaTema.
For none other than Queen of the Bobs.
