Hello everyone who is reading this. Which is probably like...one person. So, Hello one person who is reading this story.

I don't really have much to say on the matter of the story, but maybe if you could review...that would be like EXTREMLY helpful. Merci. (P.s. Go back and read the first chapter, cause it won't make sense if you don't.)

Oh and sadly, I don't own Naruto, or Gaara... Which just adds to the crappiness of my life.

Sakura made her way down the stairs but her mom stopped her at the front door. "Where do you think your going?" Her mom asked with a hint of impatience in her voice. "Outside." Sakura responded blantently.

"Oh really, and why?" her mom pushed on. "Because, I want to." Sakura responded firmly and brushed past her mom and out the front door. "Sakura! Get back here!" Her mom shouted sticking her head out the front door. "Your step sisters are on there way from there moms and I want you to be here when they arrive!" She continued but Sakura just ignored her mom and kept walking toward the volleyball court where she saw the boys waiting for her.

She dreaded the thought of step sisters, she knew they'd be preppy annoying beach blonde idiots. People Sakura knew for a fact she would never be able to bond with. Sakura didn't look like an average 16 year old girl you'd see walking along the beaches of Beverly Hills. She had bubblegum pink hair, that used to be a bright blonde before she decided to screw around in Cosmotology class. She had aqua colored eyes that were big and bright, and very light fair skin, that did tend to burn easily. "Sakura! Catch!" A voice yelled interupting Sakuras thoughts. Unfortunatly she didn't think quick enough and found herself feeling the impact of the ball and falling flat on her ass. "I'm starting to think this place is going to be a health hazard." She thought to herself rubbing her head. She opened her eyes and saw the group of guys crowding around her, with Gaara kneeling down beside her.

"Sorry about that...I mean, I guess were even now though right?" He asked nervously, afraid that Sakura was going to bite his head of at any moment. "Damn, she is really cute...especially when she looks confused."

"You know, i'm starting to think were going to be the death of eachother." She joked sitting up. "Though dying at the hands of someone as cute as that wouldn't exactly be a bad thing. I'm starting to think I should be getting my flirt on." She thought making her smile to herself. "But actually, I don't believe we are even, I believe i've been hit twice today by flying inanimate objects." She pointed out standing up.

(P.S. The other boys walked away as soon as they saw her open her eyes, and they're playing like...ball or something.)

Gaara stood up right after she did and thought nervously to himself about the possible punishment she would think up so they could be even. "Why don't we just call it square..." He suggested nervously. Sakura tilted her head to the side, like she was considering his offer, but then shook her head no. "But whOWWWWWW!" He started but was cut of by Sakura giving him a nice "little" kick where the sun don't shine. "Now were even." She said, turning on her heel and heading towards the volleyball court which now was much fuller then she remembered it being.

"Hey Sakura!!!" Naruto shouted running over and grabbing Sakuras wrist, pulling her over to the big group which now contained girls and a few boys that weren't there before. "These are all our friends from school." He explained. "Everyone this is Sakura, Sakura everyone." He introduced her, she nodded her head towards all of them and all the girl's seemed to run over and immediatly start to tighten there bonds with her. Luckily everyone seemed to look like people she would easily get along with, and even though she had inflicted enough pain on Gaara for him to not want to talk to her ever again, he still did. Just as Sakura had agreed to go to the mall tomorrow with Hinata, Temari, Ino and TenTen a shrill voice could be heard screaming from the general direction of Sakuras house.

"SAKURA! GET YOUR TINY ASS BACK HERE AT ONCE!" A voice Sakura immediatly reconised as her moms scream. Sakura let out a small sigh and bid farewell to her newly aquired friends. "See ya tomorrow!" a few of them shouted as Sakura made her way to her back porch where her mom and two girls were standing. She let out a small sigh and ascended the steps of the porch only to be brought face to face with her very angry mother. "Hello." Sakura said simply walking by her mom and two step sisters and straight into the house. "Oh burn!" Kiba shouted loud enough for Sakura to hear, and she let out a small giggle and she walked up to her room.

She walked into her room and slammed the door, locking it behind her. She knew she would have to break her bad habit, but just for one more night, she would do it. She promised herself she would stop, and if she didn't she'd punish herself. But then again, maybe she shouldn't do it. She was torn between the two desicions,afterall things were alot better here then they were back in newyork. She had gotten away from all the bad memorys including her boyfriends death, but it seemed to haunt her no matter where she went. It was all her fault afterall. She walked towards the attached bathroom and slammed that door behind her too. She turned the taps on so that water would be ice cold. Just the way she liked it, it numbed the pain she often felt, she walked over to her medicine cabinet and opened it to reveal a large supply of pain killers and a huge stash of razorblades she kept in a little drawer. She stopped the water and stripped out of her clothes. She looked down sadly at all the cuts on her arms, some faded, lots new. "This is the last time." She told herself and lowered herself into the cold water, opening the jar of razors and pulling an unrusted one out.

'You don't want to do this, Sakura.' ' Oh and why don't I?' 'You'll just regret it and do it again as punishment, just stop now or the scars will never go away.' 'NO! This will be the last time I swear!' 'Don't lie to me, i'm in your head. You can't lie to yourself anymore.' "STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!" Sakura finally screamed, letting the razor fall out of her hand making a small splash in the water. She heard a knock on her bedroom door, and her moms voice asking "Sakura are you okay sweet heart?". Hearing her moms voice snapped her back into reality. "Yeah, i'm fine. Just fine." she called back. "Oh, okay well dinner will be ready soon." Her mom told her and Sakura hear her footsteps fade away slowly. "I can't believe I almost did that again." Sakura said to herself pulling her legs close to her cold body.

Okay that's it for right now, chapter 3 should probably be out later tonight or tomorrow morning.
