Just read, enjoy, have a good laugh or two, let a tear slip here and there, get mad at cliffhangers or late updates, and review. Even if it's a one word, review.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!
Her suitcase rolled close behind her as the sound of the black wheels hitting the cobblestone road echoed in the surprisingly silent park. Sakura took the palmed of her hands and roughly wiped away the tears on her cheeks. Up ahead was supposedly her "fairy godmother." Now, the young man that came to her rescue wouldn't agreed to that but Sakura had different ideas. 'I mean come on, who's that one person in every fairy-tale that comes and tells her to wipe away those tears? Well duh, the fairy godmother! ...he's not exactly one...but I'll take it. And that's how desperate I am.'
Being the fallow minded girl she was, Sakura looked ahead of her to find the young man but he was nowhere in sight. "What the hell? Hey jerk, you call that being a fairy godmother?" Sakura shouted her anger to no one in general. Looking around fanatically, she saw that he was truly gone. Sighing, Sakura headed over to the little park bench on the side of the road and plopped right down. She couldn't help but let her vision become blurry. Some bitch she was right now... "Seriously Sakura? The guy was just being nice and you just had to go and insult him like that. And this is why you're still single."
The rosette bent over and propped her elbows upon her suitcase and rested her chin on her palms. 'But then...he could also be a rapist or serial killer?' With the last thought on her mind, the girl couldn't help but feel a tad bit tired.
"We'll be arriving in Konohagakure shortly. We'll be arriving in Konohagakure shortly."
'Huh, Konoha? Capital city?' Sakura forced herself to open her eyes. To be quite honest, she was shocked to find herself sitting on a metro bus. Taking a glance out of the window, she realized that it had to be somewhere late in the afternoon for the sun was beginning to set in the distance. It was the turning the sky into a beautiful red orange while dark shades of blue melted into the warm colors as night was about to descend on the city of Konohagkure. As she looked into the window, she also saw her own reflection. It wasn't the slightly smeared makeup and messy hair that caught her attention but the blindly, bright colored post it note stuck to the white military cap upon her head.
She removed the cap and flipped it over, pulling the note off, it read:
'Hn, Welcome to the Joy Bus of Konohagakure. Just one ride on this bus, and you'll be back to your crazy, annoying self again. The earth is round, so no matter how far you go... just like the route bus, you'll always come back to where you started. By the time, you come back to the original stop, your apartment is right down the street. College campus is about five blocks away. ~Your's truly, Fairy Godmother'
The little note brought a smile to her lips without a second thought. Her "fairy godmother" might have been a total jerk but he had charms and just that spark of bittersweet kindness. But it was enough to make her day, even after the chaotic events that Kami decided to rain on her.
"We've arrived at Konohagakure's. Welcome to..." The driver's voice shook Sakura out of her thoughts as he announced that they had arrived at their destination. Gathering all of her belongings, Sakura proceeded to get off the bus. Her "fairy godmother" watched the pink haired girl hop off the bus with a smirk on his face.
Following the directions her "fairy godmother" gave her, she stopped at the intersection and began walking five blocks up north. Bright, emerald eyes scanned her surroundings for the name of her new apartment. Right in front of her was her new home. Entering the apartment complex, she headed straight for the girl typing furiously on her keyboard. "Um, excuse me? I'm a student at Konoha State, and I have an apartment here."
Not even sparring a single glance at Sakura, she asked, "Name?"
"Haruno Sakura."
The girl nodded before turning around and quickly grabbing a key from the slots in the back and tossed it at Sakura. "Enjoy your stay."
Sakura stood there for a second and blinked at the girl's actions before rolling her suitcase over to the elevator. The doors opened with a 'ding'. Stepping inside, Sakura pushed the 27th floor.
She was practically buzzing with excitement as the elevator moved higher and higher. All she wanted to do was get into their apartment, take a long shower, and go to sleep. Sakura put the key into the lock and twisted the nob. As she entered into the apartment, the sound of poppers filled the air for a second before streamers and confetti rained down on her. "Hey new roomies!- I thought there were three total."
The smile on the brunette's face dropped as she realized that there was only one girl standing in the doorway verses three. "Ummm...where are the other two?"
"Well...you see," Sakura said sheepishly. "What had happen was...they got in trouble somehow at the train station while I was lost. And now, they're at the police station. Which I have no clue where."
"Got ya... Hi! I'm Tenten. And don't just stand there! Come in!" Tenten moved out of the way and motioned the girl to enter in. "Considering your hair color, I'm assuming that you're Haruno Sakura?"
Sakura stepped inside with her suitcase rolling behind her and took her shoes off, placing it along the wall by the door. With a smile, she nodded, "It's nice to meet you."
Tenten beckoned her to take a seat on the one of the barstool. Opening the fridge, she grabbed herself a can of tea, "Arizona tea Sakura?"
At the mentioning of the favorable drink, Sakura emerald eyes lit up. "Yes, please." Her voice held the desperation, a need of the drink. Like an alcoholic without their alcohol. "Thank goodness. So you wouldn't mind having a roomate that's addicted to Arizona tea would you?"
A easy,carefree laugh escaped the brunette's lips. "Not a problem as long as there's always one left for me too."
Sakura couldn't help but laugh along with the girl. "Sounds like a deal."
"About these friends of yours...shouldn't we go and bail them out?"
"Miss Yamanaka, you are aware of why you're being held here correct?"
Ino folded her arms across her chest and huffed. "Yes, but can't I leave now? The real troublemaker here is that lazy ass over there!" The blond sent an accusing glare at the pineapple headed boy lounging on the plastic chairs. "He was the one that started! I was just minding my own business when he had to be nosy and interfere!"
"Miss, I really am losing my patients with you." The quite young officer said. "And you may leave after four hours. But first we need you and your friend to answer some questions-."
"I already told you! I don't know and I don't care! Just let me and Hinata get the hell out of here!" Ino shouted. "All I know is that we got lost from our other friend at the train station and she called us. Then all of a sudden, the stupid pineapple head over there decided to nosy into our business. So I only yelled back in defense. Now can we go?"
"But you seemed to have one thing missing. You threaten and attacked him right afterwards."
"Yeah, in self defense."
The officer let out a dreary sigh. "I'm sorry miss, but you and your friend are going to have to stay here until your probation is done." He got up and took the two girls by the arms and lead them down one of the hallways. Turning at a sharp corner, he opened the cell's door and pushed them inside. Before the girls can even process what happened, he twisted the key and locked them in their death cage. "Now, your probation starts. Only four hours left to go girls."
"B-but..." Hinata's words died in her throat as he began to walk away. "I d-didn't do a-anything."
"But your idiotic blond friend did, what a drag." A voice spoke to them from the other cell right next to them.
"Hey pineapple head, you better shut that trap of yours better I shut it for you!" Ino shouted angrily. "The nerves of this guy. How dare he blame it on me!"
"And she still doesn't understand. Troublesome."
"Will you just shut it?"
Empty silence enveloped the threesome as they listen to the ticking of each second that passed by. As the minutes turned into half and hour then an hour, poor little Hinata fell asleep. Her head rolled onto Ino's shoulder, where it remained for the rest of the time.
"The name's Nara Shikamara."
"Huh?" Ino blinked.
"The name's Nara Shikamara." The boy repeated himself.
"Yamanaka Ino."
"So...what's your favorite color?"
Ino raised an eyebrow at the ridiculously innocent but incredibly stupid question. But either way, she answered him, "Purple."
"You've got to be kidding me...court?" Sakura questioned through the telephone. "Oh, for Kami's sake, what the hell did you do Ino? We're not talking about some four hours probation anymore, we're talking about going to court in a city that we've barely been in for 24 hours!"
"Hey, it's not my fault the minster cop here, had his panties in a twist!"
"Ino, where's Hinata?"
"She's in an interview with minster cop."
Sakura shook her head in a sad manner, the shy heiress was not going to last long in there.
Hinata began to rub her sweaty palms on the fabric of her pants as she began have what felt like an anxiety attack. Her heart was pounding against her rib cage, as if any second now it could burst out. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and the handle turned downwards causing the girl's breath to stop all together. What she didn't expect was to see the one person that she haven't seen in years.
"Hey Hinata-chan, how's it going?" He casually pulled out the chair from behind the table. It dragged across the tiled floor with a screech. Sitting down, his bright cerulean eyes stared at her every move. Each little fidget or tremble, he seemed to be able to take acknowledge of.
Taking a shaky breath, Hinata licked her chapped lips before opening her mouth. "Are y-you i-interviewing me?"
"Yes m'am, I am." He replied back with tip of his military cap. "But, knowing you girls. Ino probably started a unless agreement with a somewhat innocent bystander and some random cop with his panties in a twist decided to throw you guys in the dudgeon just for heck of it. So what's the point of interviewing you, you all were innocent from the beginning to begin with. Now isn't that right?"
Hinata giggled but nodded.
The blond sneaked a glance at the time, smiling, he turned towards Hinata. "You in for some ramen Hinata-chan? We still have 30 minutes left."
"S-sure Naruto-kun."
