''Everyone, this is Sakura Haruno
Sakura was blushing from all the attention as she walked into the dinner hall(the morning had been a tour of the school), trying to avoid everyone she saw. She was SO shy! Sakura went and sat at a table on her own, keeping her head down. She looked up, hearing someone whispering about how weird her hair colour was. That REALLY pissed her off! She jumped out of her seat and over the table, rushing towards the evil bitch who called her weird. But someone beat her to it. Next thing Karin (the bitch) knew, she was being held up against the wall by none other than Naruto Umazaki. "How DARE you call the NEW girl weird, you slut?!" He was fuming, Kyuubi threatening to burst through hid bindings. Sakura stared in disbelief and pure happiness at his face. She knew that face, it was a long time since she saw him last, but yeah. "NARUTO-KUN!!" She screamed in happiness and ran over to him. Naruto turned round, hearing a long-lost voice call his name. He dropped Karin and scooped Sakura up into a bone-crushing hug. "SAKURA-CHAN!!" He replied, just as enthusiastically. Everyone in the dinner hall was SUPER confused, but decided to ignore it. Naruto led Sakura, with her lunch tray, over to his friends on a central table. "Sakura, this is Neji," "Hunh." "Shikamaru," "Troublesome loudmouth." "And ….. hey, guys. Where's Teme?" Naruto finally took a deep breath as he turned back to the other guys. "He got detention again." Neji replied in a bored voice. Just then the bell went, and everyone went to their classrooms.
"Everyone, this is Sakura Haruno. She's new to this school so please be nice. Sakura, could you please tell us about yourself?" Kakashi-sensei asked politely.
"Um…ok. I'm Sakura Haruno. I'm 14 years old and love animals. I also like to run, read, and draw. Before I moved here, I lived in America, England and China. That's about all there is to know about me." She said shyly, casting her eyes around the room as she talked and eventually letting them rest on a black-haired boy with gorgeous onyx eyes. He gazed back at her with an odd look on his face. Everyone started talking as soon as she finished. "England!! China!! America?!" echoed around the room amid the buzz created by the whispers. She quickly averted her eyes as Kakashi started talking again. "You can sit next to ..." A loud voice echoed across the classroom "Senseiiiiii, can Sakura sit next to me pleeeeassse." Naruto sounded oddly familiar with the new girl, seeing as he added no suffix to her name. "Fine, Naruto. Anything to make you shut up." Kakashi sighed "Oh, Sakura-san, can you please try to shut him up a bit?" Sakura he whispered in Sakura's ear as she walked by. "Of course, sensei. Me and Naruto go WAAAAY back. I'll keep him quiet for you, don't worry." Sakura replied and flashed a brilliant grin as she walked over to her seat. Naruto and Sakura immediately began talking and laughing. She had a very soft voice.
As she walked to her seat, all the boys (except Sasuke, he's too 'cool' ) wolf-whistled at her
She looks like the girl from earlier Sasuke thought
That's because she is dumbass!!
Leave me alone!!
Look at that butt!!
Wtf?!
What??
I'm not a pervert!!
It's not being a pervert, it's studying the opposite gender!!
Whatever.
Oh come ON!! She is so cute and you know it!! Didn't you see the way she was looking at you??
She was looking AROUND THE ROOM not at me.
She was looking at you and you were looking at her!!
Shut up and leave me alone!!
Fine but just think about what you REALLY think of her and you might be surprised…
"Sasuke Uchiha!! Will you please listen to me!!" Sasuke's desk partner, Naruto, loudly whispered in his ear. "Hn?" was Sasuke's reply. "I SAID what do you think of Sakura-chan, cute, eh?" Naruto sounded REALLY excited at the prospect of Sakura moving to their school, but he said it quietly so that Sakura wouldn't hear him.
At lunch, Naruto introduced Sakura to Hinata and then Hinata took Sakura with her to meet her friends, Ino and Tenten. Ino was a very bossy, outgoing girl with a GREAT attitude to life, and Tenten was a very…energetic girl who always saw the best in everyone and everything. They made her feel welcome straight away. "Oh, no!!" Sakura gasped suddenly, startling her new friends. "What's the matter?" cried Ino. "I was meant to go see the Head-sensei about who I'm rooming with!!" Sakura wailed and dashed off, activating her chakra run so that she was as quick as possible. Her friends didn't even have time to tell her a VERY important fact…
"WHAT?! I'M ROOMING WITH A BOY!!" Sakura exclaimed loudly. "I'm sorry but there are no spare rooms. And anyway, Sasuke Uchiha is an ice-block who needs to learn the value of being nice so I think you're the perfect person to room with him." Head-sensei said with a hint of desperation. And with that he kicked Sakura out of his office, and she went down to lunch.
Later that lunch…
"You're rooming with a BOY!! No WAY!! Who is it??" Tenten asked nosily. "Um…I think his name was…. Sasuke? That's it!! Sasuke Uchiha." "Sasuke Uchiha??" all 3 of her friends cried. "Do you know him??" Sakura asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice, startled by her friends reaction. "KNOW HIM?! Most of the girls in this school would DIE to room with Sasuke Uchiha!! He's the school heartthrob!! You'll need 24-hour protection to survive in this school now!!" Ino squealed. "So I not only have to room with a boy, but he's the school hottie?! Ohhh, I knew this move was a bad idea." Sakura exclaimed dejectedly. Then the bell went and all 4 girls dispersed to their classrooms, all trying to think of a way around their little problem.
When Sakura and Hinata got back to their classroom, Sasuke was already there, thinking over the events of this lunchtime.
Flashback
"The Head-sensei wants to see you, Sasuke" Kakashi called as Sasuke exited the classroom, deep in thought. So he went up to the Head-sensei's office to see what he wanted. "Sit down Sasuke. Now as you know, the new student, Sakura Haruno in your class, has just moved here and has no room here at the academy yet, and you have a room of your own at the minute so…" Head-sensei started saying but a "No, no, no way in hell!! Share my room with a GIRL (A very cute one might I add…SHUT UP!!)!! No chance!!"escaped Sasuke's lips before he could help himself.
End of flashback
And so it happened that Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno ended up sharing a room for the rest of their school lives. They ignored each other for the rest of the day, including Maths when they had to pair up with their roommates to work on some problems.
"End of school announcements:
Everyone taking part in the school camping trip must report to the main hall after school. Thank you."
The meeting
"Attention students!! You will be told who your cabin mate is upon arrival. Cabins will be allocated upon arrival at the campsite and a meeting held at 8:30 am before departure at 9 am. If you are late you WILL BE LEFT BEHIND AND HAVE TO DO SCHOOLWORK FOR THE WHOLE WEEK AS PUNISHMENT. Thank you."
Back at Sasuke and Sakura's room
I can't believe this!! I have to share my room with a GIRL!!
At least she's cute.
She is not!!
When she is getting changed will be a great time to do some more research…
You're disgusting, you know?
I'm you, dumbass!!
Stop calling me that!!
You will.
I won't!!
You will.
I won't!!
You will.
I WON'T!!
You will.
FINE!! I WILL!! Happy now??
Yay!!
"Um, Sasuke-sama?" Sakura asked timidly. "WHAT??" Sasuke yelled louder than he intended to, causing Naruto(from the room next door) to come barging in. "WHAT'S WRONG, WHAT'S WRONG?? Oh, um, hi…..Sakura." he said in a much quieter tone, blushing like mad when he noticed the pretty girl sat on the bed next to Sasuke's in her jamas. "Why's SAKURA in your room?" Naruto asked Sasuke in a suspicious voice. "What are y…" Sakura started asking when Sasuke yelled "WHAT IS IT TO YOU, DOBE?? GET OUT!!". "AARGH!! RUN!!" Naruto ran out the door like he was bare-footing across hot coal.
"Right, what did you want Sakura?" He asked rudely. "Um, I just wanted to know if you minded me setting my alarm for 7 in the morning?" she timidly replied, scared by her roommate's outburst, her voice quivering.
YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!!
What's with you?
YOU JUST SCARED HER OUT OF HER SKIN!! LOOK AT HOW SHE'S SHAKING!! SHE'S PROBABLY NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS EITHER SO JUST LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT AND BE NICE FOR GOD'S SAKE, MAN!!
Sorry!! I'll try to be nice to her ok?!
Don't forget your promise you made to yourself earlier.
What promise??
To peek at her.
When did I say that??
Earlier.
I'm not peeking.
Fine. Look at her in the shower then.
WHAT?? I won't do it.
You will coz' I'll make you. I'm you remember? Anyway listen to her, she's talking to you, dumbass!!
"Um, Sasuke-sama?" This time he noticed how she added a respectful suffix to the end of his name. Did she appreciate him letting her share his room THAT much? "Yes, Sakura-chan?" he replied, using the suffix to make her feel better about his outburst earlier. "Um…………… h-h-how do you l-lock the bathroom d-d-door?" She was really red as she spoke. He realised how much he had actually flattered her by using a suffix. "You use a security jutsu, Sakura-chan." He replied, interested in her reaction to his use of the –chan suffix. "Oh…. Ok…" She muttered and disappeared into the bathroom, her red face clashing with her pink hair. A moment later, he heard a frustrated moan from inside the bathroom. "Ohhh crap!! I can't lock it!! Um… S-Sasuke-sama, can you lock the door please, I-I can't do it." Her voice came floating very quietly from the bathroom. "Ok." He sighed inwardly and locked the door for her.
A FEW WEEKS LATER
"Sasuke-san!! How many times do I have to ask you?! Can you please pass me my dress?!" Sakura hollered from the bathroom. Sasuke picked up her dress and started opening the door. "DON'T OPEN THE DOOR!!" She screamed, but it was too late. The door was already open and her bare back (well, bare except for her bra. She already wearing her shorts) in full view. She was covered in bruises and had big scabs and scars all over her back. Sasuke was shocked. "Where are all these from??" He asked in horror as he cast a healing jutsu over her back. "……. I don't think I can tell you that……." She muttered. "You need to tell me or I can't help you." He told her in an annoyed tone. "It…w..s….my….athe…" She muttered something under her breath. "What was that?" He asked in a kind voice, all the while thinking; HOW could anyone do this to someone?
Especially someone as pretty as her. Look at that bod!!
Go away. I'm not in the mood.
"It…was…my…..…….father." The last word came out so quiet that Sasuke had to strain to hear it. "YOUR FATHER!!" Sasuke was so surprised that he yelled out and both Naruto and Neji (Hinata's overprotective cousin) from next door came running in this time. Before they could say a word, Sasuke cast a silence jutsu on them and explained what had happened then took off the jutsu and sent them back to their room. "Why did he do this to you?" Sasuke asked a grimacing Sakura in a gentle voice. "I…argued with him. I…. wanted to….go…shopping…….with…my…friends and…he said…….no…but I…went..anyway..so…he…..beat….me….when..he…..found out" She struggled to speak now. "When was this?" He asked with concern. "The…last…….night…before….I…came…….here." just managed to escape her lips before she passed out from pain and low chakra levels. Sasuke finished the procedure, gently covered her up, carried her bridal style over to her bed and gently lay her in it and tucked her in, being careful to avoid her injured back. Then he went to sleep himself, his dreams full of Sakura's smiling face and then the injuries on her back, caused by parental abuse.
