This idea came from all the Kiba and Sakura stories I have read on fan fiction and some of my own experiences.
BTW: I don't own Naruto, or the songs mentioned or sung in this fan fic. I do write the poems myself, so I technically own them.
-Sakura's point of view-
-Before you can believe in anything, you must believe in Love and Music-
"Why did I have to leave again?" I ask my mother as I stare out the window of the train car. I was moving away from my home in the Village Hidden in the Grass where I had lived for almost all 17 years of my life.
"Because you decided to get into a fight honey, remember?"
"That wasn't it and you know it!" I growl and turn to glare at her as she had a smile on her face. I never fought with anyone ever, I may have a temper, but I was the goody-two-shoes back home.
"I know, I'm sorry that wasn't funny, well, I thought it was best for you to transfer to Konoha and spend some time with your cousin and maybe even your brother. They can help you out with your senior year more than I can, with me off on missions with the Anbu, it's almost impossible. Plus it will be good for you; it wouldn't hurt you to find new friends and besides, you need to get out of the country." We lived in the middle of a valley I guess you could call it. Our house was on at least 10 acres of land, but I didn't mind at all.
"Mom I was going to have the best senior year ever this year! I was going to be lead soprano in choir, I was finally able to take that veterinarian class I have wanted to take since freshman year, and I earned my name at that school, now I am just going to be the new girl. Why did you have to do this to me?" By the way, if you didn't notice, I have a lot of pent up anger.
"Enough Sakura, I have gone over this with you many times and I am not going over it with you again, you are going to stay with your cousin Ayame and your uncle and you are going to like it, you understand me?" My mother has that angry sound in her voice that I didn't like too much. I finally decided to give up which I never liked doing… especially when I was giving in to my mother.
"Fine, I guess I can deal," I say looking back out the window of the train. I had to admit, I kind of wanted to leave the country life I was living, but I didn't want to leave until after high school. Not in the middle of high school. I was supposed to be a senior at Grassy Mountain High in the village hidden in the grass. I loved my old village because there was plenty of area to roam around and get lost if I wanted to, plus it was peaceful. I loved running around my family's large house with our dogs, especially Mia, she wasn't just a dog; she was my best friend. Well, until she died a few years ago. But, I guess I'm over it now. After putting that thought out of my mind I decided to grab my I-pod and play my favorite song 'Fight like a Girl' and I fell asleep.
After an hour or so, my mother woke me up telling me my stop was next. I nodded, grabbed my belongings and waited at the doors of the train. As the doors opened my mother gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She also brushed her fingers through my long bubble gum pink hair, and let me walk off the train.
"Bye Mom! I'll call you when I get all settled in!" I yell to her.
"I love you Sakura, have fun, and be careful!" I nod as the doors to the train shut, and it's off again. I stand there for a moment, and then I remember what I was doing. "Right, now I need to find…"
"SAKURA!" Suddenly I was attacked in a hug. "I am so happy you are here!"
"Hi Ayame, how are you, now, can I breathe?" She was crushing me, yes I had strength in me too, but she was crushing me.
"Oh, I am sooo sorry Sakura, I just missed you so much, and look at you, you have gotten older and sooo much cuter too!" I smile at her.
"Thanks Ayame, I'm kind of tired, can we head home?" I ask as I am feeling somewhat tired.
"Of course, but after we hit the house, we need to stop at your school so you can get your paperwork all filled out!" Ayame screeched as she grabbed some of my bags and headed off. I smile, she is always so hyper when she is around me, and it always makes me smile. I quickly grab what bags are left with me and run to catch up to her.
As I finally catch up with Ayame, I see that she is almost at my uncle's ramen shop. Yes, my uncle is the owner of the best ramen shop in town, Ichiraku ramen! He lives upstairs with Ayame, and now with me. As I run up to the restaurant, I smile as she walks in and I hear my uncle.
"Ayame, please tell me you didn't lose her already," My uncle says jokingly.
"No uncle, I'm right here," I say as I walk into the shop. My uncle smiles and walks over to me to give me a hug.
"Welcome back to Konaha Sakura!" He says. I smile and hug him back.
"Thanks uncle, so, where am I staying?"
"Oh, you will be staying in the spare bedroom, Ayame, will you take Sakura's…"
"Already on it!" Ayame called grabbing my bags I had with me and running upstairs. After a few seconds Ayame comes back down and grabs my arm. "Come on we have to go to the school and get you registered." She starts pulling me out of the shop and down the road. I can't help but laugh as I remember all the times I pulled her out to do things when I was around. When I would come up before my father died, she would always want to stay inside or stay working at the shop. When I was around, she would never do that because I always wanted to go shopping. After a few minutes of pulling me Ayame realized that I wasn't struggling and let me walk with her the rest of the way. As we approached the school I think I froze at the sight. The school was only a little bigger then my old school, but my school was only of 150 or so students. Ok, so now I kind of don't like the city, too many people. Ayame pulls my arm again and we walk into the school. As Ayame walks in the door with me she points out the little office area to my right and we walk in. A young lady, ok, she was older than me, was sitting at a desk and greeted us.
"Good afternoon, you must be Sakura?"
"Yes, I am," I simply stated.
"Well Sakura, welcome to Konaha High, I am Shizune and I will help you get everything in order so you can start school tomorrow." She said perky-ish. I smiled at her and sat in the chair in front of her desk. "So if you could just fill out this paperwork we can get started." She hands me paperwork and I start filling it out, but I hand over some papers to Ayame, because they asked for home address. I don't know the shops address. After a few minutes, Ayame and I finally finish the paperwork and Shizune checks over them and put them into a file. Afterwards she pulls out a book and hands it to me. "This is our class roster, you can choose any classes you want to take, the only mandatory class you need is English 12 and that means you have six other class periods." I smile, I am so glad I took all my math and science classes before my senior year. I needed to so I could take veterinarian class. I look over the classes and choose my usual favorites, Choir, creative writing, gym, and History. Those were my favorite subjects at my old school, and as I look for my last two classes I see a class and I shrieked.
"What is it Sakura?" Ayame asks me worried.
"They have a Health class and veterinarian class! I am so happy!" I shriek again.
"The Vet class is a two period class, so you will have to take away one class." Shizune says. I frown.
"Well, what class would not fit into my schedule?" I ask curiously. I really want to take that vet class and I would be willing to drop almost any class, except choir.
"It would be the history class." I smile at the class she spoke.
"Ok, I will drop that one and take the vet class," I smile very big at my final decision. Shizune smiles and writes down my choices. "Here you go, this is your class schedule, what classroom, teacher and locker number and combination. Do you have any other questions?"
"Umm, yeah, is there a dress code here? Or any uniforms? And what time do classes start?" I ask knowing full well that each school was different.
"There isn't a dress code at this school, but we try to enforce being appropriate, and classes start at 8 am." I smiled again, I was sooo loving this school, classes started later then at my old school, and I had a total choice in what I could wear. "But, I highly suggest, not wearing green to your gym class." I look at her weird for a second and she gives me an 'I beg you please if you love your life' kind of look.
"Thank you Shizune!" I smile. "See you tomorrow!" I say as I pull Ayame out the door of the school and down the road. After we get back to the shop, I walk upstairs and go into my bedroom to unpack. The room wasn't very big, but it was about the same size as the one I had at home. The bed was about a twin, maybe a full size with pink, red and brown print. The curtains around the two windows were pink along with a painting on the wall. There was also a nightstand, a TV stand, a desk and a door leading to a bathroom. I smiled as I remember that the bathroom was going to be my own personal bathroom and that it also led to a walk in closet. That was a big reason I loved my uncle's house. I had almost everything I ever wanted. As I unpack my clothes, hanging them in the closet and everything I find a note that I had place between my clothes and my laptop. I smile as I open it up. Before I left for Konaha, I had made a checklist of what I wanted to do.
*Like Konaha High
*Make friends
*Make lead Soprano
*Get a boyfriend?
I laugh again. Me, Sakura Haruno, get a boyfriend? Yeah right. Anyways, I take my laptop and the list and place them on my desk and I finish unpacking the few leftovers. As I look at the desk I smile as I see the writing across the wall, 'Believe in Love and Music' my all time most favorite quote ever. After finishing, I decided to change into my favorite pair of dark blue jeans, my blue 'country girl' top and my cowgirl boots and then I hear Ayame yell to me.
"Hey Cherry, come down here I want you to meet someone!" I laughed and walked downstairs.
"Yes Yame?" I ask as I walk out from the back room. I see that the restaurant had customers and most of them looked like Ayame and my age. (Yes, I made Ayame younger) Then I look and see her talking to a boy in a green jumpsuit and a bowl looking hair cut. Oh my god and those eye brows were weird, but I wasn't going to judge. Ayame looked at me and smiled.
"You can take the girl out of the honky-tonk," she sang as she smiled and I started to laugh.
"But you can't take the honky-tonk out of the girl," I sang back. It was one of our favorite songs together and it fit me all too well.
"Cherry, this is Lee, he's my boyfriend." I froze. Ayame had a boyfriend? What was this world coming too?
"W-Wait? You have a boyfriend?" I ask as my eyes show my shock. Ayame starts laughing. "Be-Before me?"
"Yes I do, and it is all thanks to you, you made me come out of my shell more and Lee liked me anyways, so, we've been dating for about two months now." I smile as Ayame hugs Lee.
"It's nice to meet you Ayame's youthful cousin…" He pauses as he doesn't know my name.
"My name is Sakura, Sakura Haruno,"
"Sakura, what a youthful name!" He cries and I step back. Ayame, why do you have to catch the screwed up ones?
"Well, it is getting late and I should head to bed, you know, first day of senior year and everything," I say to Ayame, but she wasn't paying attention so I roll my eyes. "Good night uncle!"
"Goodnight Sakura!" I smile and walk into my room. As I lay on my bed, I open my laptop I had grabbed and sat it in my lap I decided to check and see if any of my friends were online. As the screen popped up, I was bombarded by offline messages from my friends who were also offline.
Karin: Hey Billboard, we are really going to miss you… NOT! Thanks for leaving BTW now I can take over as head soprano. (Ok, not all were my friends, Karin was the b*tch of my old school, she always hung out with the popular Jugo, but I never cared, I wasn't into the whole, popular boy thing.
Deidara: Hey un, really missed you in art class, I couldn't blow anything up because I missed you un. And that is pretty bad. Deidara was one of my best friends, he and Zetsu, who was actually a creep were the only ones who talked to me in art class and we became friends. Deidara loves to blow up stuff and it was hilarious when he blew up the art room… twice!
Zetsu: You need to come back, Dei didn't blow the room up today. Zetsu was a creep with two sides of himself. But he was a good friend when needed.
Hidan: Hey Bitch, I didn't see you in town today? Why the hell not? I'm gonna find you and you are going to fucking pay for leaving without saying bye! Hidan was a riot. He always swore, and actually never got in trouble for it… I wish I could do that.
Konan and Pein: Hey we missed you, well, I missed you more than Pein, but you know him, anyways. When you get settled you have to tell me about your first day of school! Miss you and love you! Pein says he misses you too. Konan transferred to my school with her boyfriend Pein a while back and they became my siblings. I loved them a lot. I smiled at their comment and then quickly went on to my status.
`First night in Konaha, better than expected, school tomorrow. I GET A VET CLASS YAY! Hopefully I like the students. Miss all my friends back home. Text my cell tomorrow 3'
After posting my status, I close my laptop, place it on my night stand, set my cell's alarm for 7 am, and decided to drift off to sleep. I can only dream of how tomorrow will bring.
-Cherry—Cherry—Blossom-
'She lives in L.A. she flies to New York City, That woman's been around the world, You can take the girl out of the honky tonk, But you can't take the honky tonk, take the honky tonk, out of the girl'
I awoke to my favorite song playing on my cell phone and jumped to get out of bed. I couldn't wait to go to school. I shut off my alarm and jumped into the shower. After singing to my alarm clock song, I get out of the shower, and walk into my closet. I start to sing, again as I put on another one of my dark pairs of jeans, my red and brown top (cowgirl style) and my brown cowboy boots and walk out into my room again. I begin to grab my things including my laptop and I-Pod and race downstairs to Ayame and my Uncle.
"Good morning!" I sing as I hit the bottom step and walk into the kitchen area.
"Good morning Sakura, it looks like you are all ready for school," My uncle smiles handing me a plate of my favorite breakfast, Bacon and toast. Yes, my uncle can cook more than just ramen, which I love to eat, but for breakfast, it is not good for me. I smile as I start to eat my food and Ayame walks downstairs.
"Good morning Ayame!" I say with food in my mouth. Ayame looks at me and laughs.
"Morning Sakura, I see you haven't changed when it comes to breakfast."
"I'm sorry, I'm excited and I didn't have dinner last night," I say after swallowing what food was left in my mouth. Ayame smiled.
"Ready to go then?" Ayame said grabbing her lunch box. I grab my lunch box as well.
"Let's go!" I say and we are out the door. We walk down the path towards the school and I notice Ayame is wearing a green t-shirt and blue jeans with converse sneakers. I smile as I recognize the sneakers. "You still have those old things?"
"You mean the sneaker? Well of course I do, these things have been to the moon and back. I see you still have your boots."
"Duh, I would never part with these things, I love them, almost as much as my Red high heels," I smile at her thinking of another good song.
"Sakura, I know you like the song, but please tell me you haven't done that?"
"No, but mom has, she wore my heels and she broke up with the guy she was dating." I smile and then frown a little thinking about my mother after my father passed away on a mission. It had been around the same time Mia had died so I was in a lot of pain. But Ayame got me through it, and that made me who I am today. We got to the front gates and I see a lot of students standing outside and my heart starts to beat a little harder. God, why do I have to have so many kids at this school? Ayame pulls me out of my daze as she pulls me over to Lee and a group of his friends.
"Good morning my youthful Ayame, and good morning Ayame's youthful cousin." Lee says and I smile, thinking he forgot my name, but I think it's cute, except the whole youthful part.
"Good morning Lee," Ayame says giving him a peck on the cheek. I smile and then look at his friends. There was a girl, my age, with brown hair that was tied up in buns; she wore a cute white kimono looking top with brown pants. Next to her, or should I say, on her arm, was a long brown haired boy with white, lavender eyes. I knew he must be a Hyuga by the eyes and he was wearing a white dress shirt and brown pants as well. They weren't matching, but it looked cute. "Oh, sorry, Sakura, this is Neji Hyuga and TenTen, they are some of Lee's friends."
"Hi, my name is Sakura Haruno," I smile brightly.
"So you are the cousin Ayame has been telling us sooo much about, it's finally nice to meet you," TenTen said shaking my hand. "Wow, you are as country as she mensioned." Neji just nodded and I was ok with that, oddly enough.
The bell went off and Ayame and the group started walking off. I frowned because they left me but I was ok with it because I wanted to learn my way around the school. As I walk down the hallways I look for my locker number which was 911, wow, a lot of students. As I finally found my locker the second bell had already gone off and I dropped off my gym clothes, and headed towards my first class.
Schedule:
Creative Writing: Kurenai
English: Kakashi Hatake
Choir: Shizune
Gym: Mighty Guy
Lunch:
Health: Tsunade
Vet Tech: Tsume Inuzuka (2 periods)
As I headed off to Creative Writing class, I was a little excited and a little scared, was I going to be in a big class? Or was it going to be small? As I approached the door and was ready to open it, it opened on its own to an older woman with black hair and red eyes.
"Umm… Is this Lady Kurenai's class?" I ask frightened a little. The woman puts a smile on her face.
"Yes, I'm Kurenai, and you must be Sakura, please come in," She waved me in and I see the class was actually smaller then I thought. There were about six other students in the class. "Class, this is Sakura Haruno, and she is a new transfer student, please make her feel welcome." Every teacher would say that and I knew it. "Sakura, why don't you sit in whatever seat you would like." I smile and nod and walk towards a seat next to a blonde girl who I swear could be Deidara's twin sister. As the class started I pulled out my notebook and started to write notes, then I get a note from the girl next to me.
Hi! My name's Ino Yamanaka, it's nice to meet you!
It's nice to meet you too Ino, so, are you a senior?
Yep, and happy I am too, I finally can be in for homecoming queen. What about you? Why did you transfer senior year?
Mom, she is being a pain and wants me to spend my senior year out of the country with my cousin Ayame
Ayame is your cousin? COOL! She's great. And what do you mean out of the country, does she mean out of the farmland?
Yeah :( but I am a country girl at heart, I just can't break it
I can tell, your really country!
Is that a bad thing?
I hand Ino back the note and the Kurenai comes over.
"Ino, why don't you share your poem you had for homework."
"What poem?"
"Come on Ino pig, we had a poem assigned for today," Another girl said from behind them.
"Shut up!" Ino said looking like she was ready to punch someone.
"Ino, calm down, maybe Sakura has a poem or two she can spare to give you," Kurenai said giving me a whole hearted smile, which made me smile in return. I flipped through my notebook and opened to a page with a poem on it and I handed it to Ino. She smiled and walked up to the front of the class.
Music
Music isn't something
That everyone can do
Music is something
That speaks right through your soul
Music is a way
To express yourself
Music is a way
to tell him you love him
Music is a way
To show how you feel
Music is a way
To tell what you miss the most
I smile as Ino finished my poem, it was weird hearing it from someone else's mouth, but it seemed to work for her and I was happy.
"Sakura, would you like to read one?" Kurenai asks and I nod shyly. As I stand at the front of the class I notice all eyes are on me and I smile. I'm not afraid one bit.
Country
I will always be
true to my roots
true to my friends
and true to myself
I may seem different
to everyone here
but I know deep inside
we are all the same
We all suffer hurt
Like losing a love one
we all hold love
for someone near and dear
some may share classes
some may share friends
others share likes
while others share fears
we are all the same
in some way shape or form
I am a Country girl
and that's the way I'll stay
I was so happy when I read that poem, I wanted to recite that back home, but no one would listen, so now I could read it.
"Great job Sakura, Now, I need another poem from everyone tomorrow on sadness, depression, death or…" the bell interrupted her. I grabbed my things and I walked to my English class. Ino caught up with me right as I left the classroom.
"So Sakura, how did you learn to write those poems so well, I mean, I can't write one like that?"
"I don't know I guess I just write what is speaking to me." I say and smile at her.
"What class do you have next?"
"English 12"
"AWESOME! I have another class with you, and I can introduce you to everyone!" Ino said walking faster forward. I knew she kind of forgot o was standing there when she didn't come right back, so I decided to walk towards the classroom. As I was almost at the door, someone ran into me and I was thrown to the ground.
"Owe, hey, watch were your going!" The boy yelled. I looked at the boy with an angry look on my face.
"Sorry that I don't know where I'm going, I'm new here!" I snapped back and Ino came over out of the classroom.
"There you are… Kiba! Why did you have to run the new girl over?" Ino said helping me up. "Come on Sakura, let's get to class, even thought the teacher will be late." Ino said pulling me into the classroom.
(Still outside the classroom with Kiba)
Owe that freaking hurt; she knocked me on my butt pretty nice. But who is she? Oh yeah, Ino-pig just said she was new. She looked so… different, and she smelled so… what the hell? What am I doing? I need to get to class. Kiba ran into class.
(Classroom. Sakura POV)
I walk in with Ino and notice that the English class was pretty full, it was kind of scary, and none of my classes back home were even close to being this big. I look around and I see Neji, TenTen, Lee, Ayame, and Ino all sitting in their seats, and then I see the boy that had ran into me in the hallway. As his eyes met mine I could swear he was smiling at me, and of course I blushed. The bell rang again and I was waiting for the teacher, when suddenly, a puff of white smoke appeared next to me.
"Sorry I'm late class, I got lost on the path of life"
"Oh shut up Kakashi, we know you were reading that perverted book." A blonde yells from near Kiba.
"Well, anyways, today we have a new student, this is Sakura Haruno, and she is from the Wind Village, so, Sakura, is there anything you would like to tell the class?" I look at Kakashi and laugh a little.
"Sure, I am actually from the Grass Village, I love to sing and write stories and poems. My cousin is Ayame and I would love to make new friends. Oh, and I love animals." I smile as I say the last part thinking of all the dogs at my house.
"Dogs are her favorite though; she has four of them at her house!" Ayame yelled and the class smiled.
"Well… actually I only have three now… My dog Mia died a few years ago the same day as my father," I say with a sad tone. I look around the class and my gaze lands on the boy who I had ran over in the hallway. Kiba looked at me with a sad look on his face, now that I take a better look at him, I swear he looks like a dog, as I look at him, and I hear Ayame yell to me again.
"Cherry, come sit next to me!" I frown and glare at her for the nickname.
"Actually Sakura, you can sit in the seat between Kiba and Naruto." Kakashi said. I turn and look at him with a questioned look, but he didn't see it so I turn and see the blonde boy who had spoken up before smiling so I smile back and walk over and sit between the two. The day's lesson went on and I was sitting there completely bored, I had gone over this material last year and it was really old. Naruto was asleep, Ayame was flirting with Lee. As I sit with my chin in my palm I get a note passed to me.
Hey, I'm Kiba Inuzuka
Hi Kiba, can I ask you a question?
Shoot?
Why do you look like a dog? Not saying it's bad
No, it's ok, my family is all about dogs and we have dog companions. I have my little friend Akamaru
Awe… that is sweet, my family was like that, but all I had for friends were my dogs because my parents were on missions a lot. I miss Mia though
I'm sorry Sakura, hey, what class do you have next?
Choir! I can't wait.
What about you're other classes?
I have gym :( grrreeeeat *roll eyes… then lunch, health and then I have a vet class... I AM SOOOO EXCITED!
Wait, you have vet tech? That's my mom's class, please tell me you have it 6 and 7th period
Isn't that the only class period it's in?
Oh… yeah I forgot so you're in the class?
Yeah, I love animals like I said, I was going to take a vet class back home but I transferred before I could
Well umm would you like to sit with me and my friends at lunch?
Sounds great! Thanks Kiba
BBBBRRRRRRRRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG
The bell rang and I grabbed my stuff and started heading out of the room before I was stopped by Ino.
"So… Sakura… It seems you like Kiba Inuzuka!" Ino smiled.
"He seems nice, and he apologized for running into me" Even thought he actually didn't but I smiled.
"Really, well, I think that pup is tamed now, that was the first class period he has actually been quiet in!" Ino said smiling. "But remember, there are other boys at this school who are… more appropriate for a country girl like you. You shouldn't try for the mutts."
"Shut it Ino!" I turn around to see Kiba standing there glaring at Ino. I smile at him and I swear I see him blush this time, which made me smile brighter.
"Go away Mutt, she doesn't want to hang with you!" Ino said pulling me away. What the hell was she doing? I could see the hurt look on his face which made me want to cry. Suddenly I stepped down and Ino's grip disappeared. "What?" Ino said confused as she looks back at me.
"Come on Ino, you shouldn't try to control the girl, she is a new student, she doesn't know anything yet," another girl said as she passed. She had blonde hair that looked to be in four tails, but they were pretty short.
"You're right Temari; I guess she will have to learn that Kiba isn't someone to hang out with," Ino said walking towards Temari.
"Cool it Temari, what did I say about Sakura," a voice said behind me, as I turn I look onto the face of a red head boy, who was standing next to another red head boy with the love symbol on his forehead. As I look at the first red head boy I notice that he looks really familiar and as I stare, he smiles. That smile! How could I forget that smile? "Sakura, are you being serious?"
"What? About me wanting to hang with Kiba or my just realizing who you are?"
"The second one," I smile and run and give him a hug. Kiba, Temari, Ino and whoever else was around looked in shock.
"I missed you Sasori!" I hug him and he returns it.
"I missed you too, now, I will talk to you later, we are all going to be late for class, and if anyone gives you a hard time about friends, make sure you come to me, ok?" Sasori spoke, "And you haven't changed your style have you?"
"Nope, and I will, thanks Sasori!" I say as I run off to class. Kiba caught up to me pretty fast.
"How do you know Sasori? He's been around here for a while but I know he had transferred. Was he your boyfriend in your other village?" Kiba asked and I wanted to be sick and laugh at the same time.
"Kiba, you're assuming things, no, Sasori wasn't a boyfriend and I think I would be sick if I dated him, he's my brother who I haven't seen since he moved here after my father's death." Kiba looked at me in shock and also with a weight lifted off his shoulder. After walking me to Choir class, Kiba took off and I walked in. Shizune saw me and smiled.
"So, Sakura, how is your first day here going?"
"It's ok I guess, happy I have met some great friends, and excited I got to see my brother again." I smiled and sat in an open seat. As the class trickled in, the bell finally rang and Shizune introduced me.
"Class, this is Sakura and she is from the grass village and she will be in our class from now on. Do you have any questions for her?" Ino raised her hand. "Yes Ino?"
"Ok, you can write poetry, can you sing?" I smiled at that question.
"Would you sing us a song Sakura?" I nod and walk to the front of the class. I put my I-pod into the I-Home and scrolled to one particular song that no matter what mood I was in, it fit my life and it was one of the only non-country songs I actually liked.
I'm an angel, I'm a devil
I am sometimes in between
I'm as bad it can get
And good as it can be
Sometimes I'm a million colors
Sometimes I'm black and white
I am all extremes
Try figure me out you never can
There's so many things I am
I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
I'm someone filled with self-belief
And haunted by self-doubt
I've got all the answers
I've got nothing figured out
I like to be by myself
I hate to be alone
I'm up and I am down
But that's part of the thrill
Part of the plan
Part of all of the things I am
I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
I'm a million contradictions
Sometimes I make no sense
Sometimes I'm perfect
Sometimes I'm a mess
Sometimes I'm not sure who I am
I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
I smiled as I finished the song because everyone looked at me in awe.
"Great job Sakura, you may take your seat now." Shizune said, "I think we have finally found our high soprano we have been looking for class." I smiled as I made her way back to my seat.
%^^%^^%^^%^^%
Choir ended and I was sooo excited to have that class, I loved it, my homework for tonight was to write a chorus to an original song. The only thing I had to do was pick one song of mine to give. I love writing my own songs, but I had never actually gotten a chance to sing any of them. Now as I walked from my locker with my gym clothes to the locker room to change, I remembered what Shizune said yesterday. I brought a black tank top with inch straps, and black and pink plaid shorts. After changing, I slipped on my black sneakers I had brought, put my hair up into two side ponytails, and placed the rest of my stuff in an open locker, then walked out into the gym. The class seemed to already have started because all the students were sitting on the bleachers with an older man wearing a green spandex and had the worst hair cut ever. As I walked closer to the group the teacher turned around.
"You are late my new youthful student." Wow, is he related to Lee?
"Sorry, I had to find my way here," I smiled trying to hide how much he creped me out.
"Well, introduce your youthful self"
"Umm, my name is Sakura Haruno,"
"Sakura, what a youthful name, you must be Ayame's youthful cousin."
"Yes that's me," I smiled truly.
"Well, we are going to play football outside today, all of you need to do 10 youthful laps around the gym and meet me outside," Guy said and the class came down from the bleachers. As I was about to start running I heard my name called.
"Sakura!" I turn to see Kiba and three boys walking down towards me. I smile at him, hopefully not showing a blush on my face.
"Hey Kiba," I smiled bright and then looked puzzled at the blonde, and black haired boys behind him.
"Oh, these are my friends, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Shino Aburame,"
"Hi Sakura-chan, we are in English together, remember?" Naruto smiled at me.
"Oh yeah, you were the one that yelled at Kakashi when he was late, and I sit next to you," I smile and I make the connection. Sasuke and Shino just nodded at me, which again, I seemed completely ok with. Weird. Anyways, we started running a little and I was pacing myself because I love football and I didn't want to tire to easy. After a few minutes Kiba and I were on the last lap and Kiba decided to make a bet.
"Hey, race you to the end Sakura,"
"You're on!" We both ran, I was hoping that Kiba wasn't running his full pace, because I hadn't nor did I want to 'open' my real energy that I had for running. I swear it was adrenaline, but no one else ever ran that fast after. I beat him to the line.
"Nice, you're pretty fast Sakura, why don't we head out to football…" We both walked out to football and I saw the class splitting into teams. After joining the lines, I waited to be picked, and come to find out… I was last. Most of the girls were last actually, but since I was new, I was dead last. They would regret that later.
"Ok girls, which of you are actually going to play football?" Guy asked. I raised my hand and so did TenTen. "Good, TenTen, go on one team, Sakura, you can go on the other." I smile as TenTen made her choice of a team. She chose to be on Neji, Kiba and Lee's team. So I walked over to Naruto, Sasori and Shikamaru's team.
%^^%^^%^^%^^%
"HIKE!" Naruto called being the Quarterback. I ran down the field, hoping I wouldn't be blocked by anyone, which I wasn't. Everyone seemed to look at me like the weak one of the group, but what they didn't know, is that I used to play football back home. I waved my hands in the air to get Naruto's attention, and Naruto hesitantly threw the ball to me. As the ball flew through the air, everyone stopped to watch it fly towards me. I gracefully jumped up into the air, caught the ball, completed a full 360 flip and landed with both feet on the ground, in the end zone. There was a moment of silence as everyone comprehended what I did. I just laughed.
"WAY TO GO SAKURA!" My team yelled.
%^^%^^%^^%^^%
After 14 more touchdowns and 3 interceptions, it was time to change for the rest of the school day. Sakura hadn't even worked up a sweat winning for her team. As she walked back inside, Kiba, Naruto and Sasori caught up to her.
"Let me guess, you were a wolf?" Sasori asked.
"Yep, I was the only female on the team, it took me forever to convince the couch to let me join, but once I went to one practice, I was on for the whole season, I even went to championships. I bet the team is hurting without me now," Sakura smiled.
"Wait, you were actually on a football team?" Kiba asked. Sakura looked at him and smiled.
"Yep!" Sakura walked into the locker room with TenTen, Ino, and Hinata.
%^^%^^%^^%^^%
After changing back into my clothes, I walk to my locker, grab my lunch box, and walk to the cafeteria. I look around the room a little nervous because I have no idea where to sit, until I see Naruto and Kiba waving at me from a table in the back. I walk to the table and sit down next to Kiba. Soon, Sasori, Hinata, Ino, Neji, TenTen, Lee, Ayame, Temari, Shino and Sasuke join with a few other students. I just sat their quietly as I ate my ramen, which was still warm from this morning, while everyone else talked. Apparently I zoned out because I was knocked back into reality by Kiba putting his hand on my shoulder.
"What?"
"You zoned out, Ayame was trying to get your attention." I look at Ayame and she smiles.
"Typical Cherry always…"
-Back, Back, dude looks like a lady, back, back, dude looks like a lady- I quickly grab my phone and open it.
"Hello?"
"Hey un."
"What are you doing calling me, you should be destroying the art room right now dei, not calling me"
"I and Zetsu miss you, and Karin is..."
"Deidara I have to go, don't call me during school or I will get Pein and Konan to hurt you ok? Tell Zetsu to be a good boy and not eat anyone… unless, it's Karin… I got to go before I get in trouble"
"But..."
"Bye Dei Dei." I hung up and everyone looked at me. "What?"
"Who was that" Ayame asked.
"Remember Deidara? From my old school?"
"That hot boy that looks like a girl?"
"Umm… yeah… I guess you can say that… he misses me and if he calls me again I will smack him."
"Sooo… Does Sakura have a crush on this boy?" Ino asked.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, that would be like having a crush on you Ino, first time I met you, I swore you were his twin. I'm not into guys who look like girls." I say and then close my lunch box. "I'm more into… well, the strong, active, animal loving, music loving type. Deidara, let alone, Zetsu, Pein and Jugo, are NOT my type." Everyone looked at me weird again until Ayame laughed.
"Is Jugo still with that Bitch?"
-She took him faster than you can say sabatosh- I roll my eyes "Speak of the devil"
-Karin
Hey Pinky, turn around
I look confused for a minute then I turn around to see a red hair girl with glasses and a really skimpy skirt standing behind me.
"Hey Pinky!"
"FUCK!" my head hit the table.
"What, Pinky you didn't want to see little old me?"
"What the hell are you doing here Karin?"
"Mother Dearest sent me to this school because I asked her too. I didn't want to leave my dearest friend alone." She put her arm around my shoulder. I pushed it off and glared at her.
"I am not your dearest friend and DON"T touch me!" I growled at her.
"Pinky, be nice, I'm just trying to make up for what happened back at the other school, I want to be your friend," Karin tried a puppy dog face on me, but didn't work. "Wait who is this here." She said to Kiba.
"Stay away from my friends Karin, remember what you did to Jugo!"
"Oh come on Jugo did it all on his free will, he didn't like you Sakura, you're to country for him, he loved me, and still does." I roll my eyes. This much drama already? It was my first day of school.
"Karin, can you ever leave her alone?" Sasori spoke up.
"Sasori! Oh how I missed you!" she ran over to give him a hug and he pushed her away before she could.
"Leave me alone Karin, why don't you go back to that… thing you call a boyfriend and go back home away from me and Sakura."
"You never did like me, did you Sasori."
"Never in a million years." Sasori glared at her and she humphed.
"Fine, but I can hang out with who I want to… and I wanna hang out with this cutie right here," She wrapped her arm around Kiba's next. I glared at her and I swear I was growling. Kiba smiled at her, and so did Sasuke.
"Whatever, do what yall want Karin, yall did it when you moved to West Mountain (her old high school) why would it be any different here." I snarled in my accent (which comes out when i get pissed) as I closed my lunchbox and stormed out of the lunchroom. I couldn't believe it, the only reason I was happy for leaving home was to get away from her… now she was here and all I wanted to do was cry my eyes out. Actually I wanted to scratch her eyes out, but, I'm not violent, not THAT violent. I threw my lunchbox in my locker and grabbed my things for my next classes, I was hoping Karin wasn't going to be in any of my other classes, but, knowing my luck, she would be in my next one. As I walked down to my next class I noticed no one was in the halls. The bells haven't gone off, duh! I find my health classroom and then take a seat in the room as I wait for the bell to ring suddenly, I feel my phone vibrate and I grab it out of my pocket.
"Hello?"
"SAKURA!"
"Hey Zetsu what's…"
"Karin transferred to your school!"
"Yeah I know… She just met my new friends…"
"Damn it, we were too late… Well, what class do you have right now un?"
"Deidara, why did you steal the phone from Zetsu?"
"I didn't it's on loud speaker, now what class are you in?"
"Health, well I'm going to be…"
"Ok well… See you soon!" The phone disconnected.
"Wait… What the hell?" Did he just say he would see me soon? I slowly grab my stuff realizing I didn't have the right books and walk to my locker. As I reach my locker I hear the bell ring. I didn't want to see Karin, or even Kiba for that matter. He seemed to like Karin… I can't believe that! I slam my locker door and start walking towards my class again.
"SAKURA!" I hear my name screamed through the hallway. I stop and turn to see a blonde and a green haired boy running towards me. Behind them, a silver haired boy walked. My eyes took a double take and then I smiled brightly.
"Deidara! Zetsu! Hidan!" I run and give them all a hug. Hidan hates hugs but I gave him one anyways. "What are yall doing here?"
"Well we had to transfer here, we knew you would need help with Karin, Pein and Konan stayed behind though… But we are here and in your health class too!" I smile and lead them to the classroom. As I enter I see the teacher and Karin standing at the front of the class.
"Welcome, you must be the other new students. Please introduce yourselves, your friend Karin has already introduced herself." Karin nodded and went to side down in a seat next to Kiba.
"Actually Lady Tsunade, Karin is NOT a friend of ours. I'm Sakura Haruno, and these are my friends Zetsu, who loves plants, Deidara who LOVES to blow things up, so be careful, and Hidan who… well… Hidan likes to swear A LOT!" I giggle.
"Ok, so where are the other two students?" I look at her confused.
"What others are you talking about?"
"Sorry Lady Tsunade, we were still figuring out the school, sorry we are late." I turn to see a blue haired girl and an orange haired boy with piercings all over his face. My eyes lit up along with Deidara's.
"Konan! Pein!" I give them a hug! "This is Konan, she loves Origami, and Pein, well he doesn't like a lot of things." I smile. My old gang was all here! I was sooo happy. I looked to Karin, she seemed to be a little annoyed but she was flirting… WITH KIBA! I took my seat next to Kiba and Naruto and I started to pay attention.
"Hey Sakura?"
"Yeah Naruto?"
"So… you know… would you like to go get some ramen… with me one night?" I looked confused for a minute and then I hear a growl behind me. I see Kiba glaring at me and Karin was talking to Sasuke who sat on the other side. I roll my eyes at him and then turn to Naruto.
"I would love to Naruto!"
I just wanted to see what you guys thought of this.. please read and review.. idk if I should continue this or not..
