Chapter One: Haruno Sakura

Sakura's eyes sparkled as she devoured her plate of dangos without pretty much caring her table manners. Across from her, Ino has stopped eating her salad in favor of staring at her with her jaw dropped open. She knew that Sakura loved eating sweets, but she didn't expect to see her best friend turning into a hungry animal; however, she also couldn't help but coo at her cuteness. Sakura was stuffing her mouth with dangos too much that she looked like a chipmunk. A very cute, pink haired, green eyed chipmunk.

"Chew your food slowly, Sakura, or else you're going to choke," the platinum blonde haired female lightly reprimands her, then handing her some tissues. "Here. Wipe your mouth."

Sakura blinks her eyes cutely at her and Ino resists the urge to squish her adorable, puffy cheeks. The pink haired female grabs the tissues and dabs it on to her natural pinkish lips. She gulps down her dangos and smiles softly at Ino. "Arigatō, Ino. Sorry for eating so messily, I can't help it. I love dangos!" she lets out her innocent and pure smile and that's the last straw for Ino. She leans into Sakura and squeezes her cheeks while cooing at her attempt to pry off her hands.

"I-Ino — Owchie! — Schapt!"

"You're too adorable, Sakura! I want to kidnap you and lock you up!"

Now that's borderline creepy.

This time, Sakura successfully pulls her aching face away from Ino's merciless hands and starts to massage it gently. She inwardly cries out in pain, then she glares at the cheeky blonde haired female who merely gave her a peace sign.

"Yo guys! Look what I got here!" a familiar voice catches their attention. They turn their heads to the direction of the said voice and they saw a brown haired girl with her hair styled into two buns and following behind her was a girl with long, dark blue hair and palish lavender colored eyes. Those two were Tenten and Hinata. The former was holding a piece of paper in her hand.

"Hey, Tenten, Hinata," Ino and Sakura greeted. They notice the paper and Ino asks, "What you got there?"

The brunette grins excitedly. "This is the approval letter of our Student Council President! He approved Sakura's idea of creating a temporary host club with the whole male members of the Student Council hosting it in our 365th Foundation Day!"

The rose haired teen was stunned where as her blonde best friend squealed in delight. "Oh my gosh! I knew it! You're so brilliant, Sakura! Maybe you should have joined us in the Student Council."

All three — Ino, Tenten, and Hinata — of them were part of the Student Council. With Ino and Hinata being the First-Year Representatives and Tenten, the Second-Year Representative. They tried multiple times to persuade their rose haired friend in being a member of the Student Council, but she always refused with the reasons like: 'I'm too busy with my studies', 'Nah, I prefer to not join because it will be too troublesome' or 'I'll think about it." No matter what they said, she always found a way to counter them. Yeah, she's that determined to not involve herself.

"It's not like I had a choice. You forced me to think of a different event to be held in the upcoming Foundation Day," Sakura scoffs. "Till now, I still couldn't believe that I let you bribed me."

She gave her a mischievous grin, "I wasn't my fault if you were too obsessed with your dangos."

"I was not obsessed!"

"By the way, have I mention that Karin was the only one who rejected Sakura's idea? The nerve of that girl! It was quite obvious that she was jealous of Sakura because she couldn't come up with one on time and the fact that all of us agreed, right, Hinata?" Tenten scrunched up her nose.

The said girl nods meekly. "Yeah, she threw a tantrum when the others left while Tenten and I were still there."

Ino rolled her eyes. "She's such a bitch. No wonder every hot guys avoided her as much as possible."

"I don't know what's really her problem with me," Sakura says with a wary tone.

"Oh, our lovely Sakura," Tenten coos. "You're just too adorable and she's just envious. I mean, who wouldn't choose an innocent girl like you over a slut like Karin?"

"Not to mention that almost all of the guys have crushes on you," Hinata stares at the rosette with a secretive smile.


After lunch, the pink haired maiden along with her friends decide to head over to their next class. Tenten separated from them during their walk since she was in a different year level and so, the trio headed towards their next subject which was Physical Science with Orochimaru-sensei. Their teacher wasn't that all bad in teaching; however, his snake-like eyes is what made his students quite scared of him. Well, most of his students anyway, since there were others who could careless about someone's eyes. One of them is Sakura. Like seriously, why judge a person's eyes? Humans in this world are just too judgmental.

When they enter inside their room, the girls are immediately greeted by their other friends.

"Sakura-chan!" an orange blur tackles her on to the floor and quickly nuzzles his cheek to her own. He circles his muscled arms around her torso and pulls her closer to his warm body. He was completely ignorant to the deadly glares that his other best friend was throwing at him.

"N-Naruto, w-will you please get off of me?" Sakura's tone was laced with annoyance, probably because she was losing air and Naruto's grip was too tight.

"Oi, dobe! Let go of her, you'll suffocate her!" a hand grips the back of his shirt and harshly pulls him away from the relieved yet panting rosette.

"Teme! I wasn't done hugging, Sakura-chan!" he glared at the equally devilish, good-looking guy with dark colored hair and with smoldering, black eyes. Every part of him screamed 'HOT' and his fangirls damn well knew it because they were drooling at the sight of him and the way his muscles moved. But he wasn't the only one being ogled, Naruto was no exception from the lust-filled gazes of the girls in their classroom. He inwardly shudders when he sees their creepy smiles.

"Naruto, you idiot!" Ino bellowed, then hit him in the head. "You could have killed Sakura with your suffocating hug!"

"Mah, mah, calm down, Ino-chan," a hand snakes into the blonde's waist, pulling her closer to the person's hard chest. "I'm sure that Dickless didn't mean to harm Hag."

Ino takes a deep breath before cooling her nerves. Hinata giggles quietly as she leans over to her boyfriend's shoulder. She was sitting on top of the desk chair where Shino was sitting at with his one arm wrapped around her waist and her arm circled around his neck and shoulder. Shikamaru mumbles 'troublesome' under his breath before helping Sakura to stand up from the dirty floor. She smiles gratefully at him and he nods, letting go of her arm.

"Sai, you emotionless freak! I am not dickless!" the blonde male roared as he attempted to lunge at the smiling artist, but he is pulled back by Sakura. "Let me go, Sakura-chan! I'm going to teach this bastard a lesson!"

Sasuke rolls his eyes. "Dobe."

Then, almost immediately his anger is directed to the younger Uchiha. "Teme!"

"Dobe!"

"Teme!"

"Dobe!"

"Teme!"

"Shut up, the both of you!" Sakura hits her best friends in the head, causing a visible bump to appear on top of their heads. "You two are so annoying!"

"But Sakura-chan, he started it!"

"I don't care who started it! Just shut up or I'll break your vocal chords!"

Naruto grabs his throat as if to protect it in case Sakura does her threat. He didn't doubt that Sakura could not break his vocal chords. He very well knew how strong her hands were. He first hand experienced seeing her strength when someone foolishly groped her butt and the pervert's face is greeted by her merciless fist. She has punched him so hard that he flew a few feet away from her and got a large bruise, a broken nose, and few missing teeth. Oh, let's add the fact that she almost gave him a concussion. Poor guy.


The classes are finished and all students were required to go home; however, Sakura wasn't going home just yet. She needed to stop in her favorite place before going home. Can you make guess? I'll give you guys a hint: Dango. Anyway, she trudges toward the path and up ahead she can see colorful exterior designs of the shop. Her eyes lit up like christmas lights as she entered inside warm and cozy place. She breathes in the sweet smell of her favorite food.

"Good afterno — Oh, hello there, Sakura-san," a timid voice greets her and she lands her eyes on the feminine-looking guy. Her eyes turn into small, pink hearts when she sees her favorite employee in an apron.

"You're so cute, Haku!" she squeals, then hugs him to her chest, unaware that she causes his face to turn into several shades of red. A smoke starts to come out of his ears.

"Let me take a picture of you!" she hastily brings out her phone, ignoring Haku's embarrassed spluttering, and positioning her camera to have full view of him. She can't help but swoon over his adorable actions as he attempted to hide his face.

"Now, now, Haku, there's no need to hide your pretty face. I want to see your face," she pries his hands away and he reluctantly pulls them down. She giggles before snapping numerous pictures of him in different poses and angles.

"I'm so going to save these pictures in my laptop!"
