~6 years later~

A 18 year old girl, with long luscious black hair and pale white eyes sat silently in the back seat of a car.

She was back to the place she wish she wasn't coming back to. Her father always referred this place as her home but she never thought of it that way. So many painful memories were in this place that she wished it had never happened.

She had come to love Tokyo and all the people that she met there, including the boy she was with now.

But not only the memories of her childhood pained her from coming back, but the fact that her mother wasn't with them anymore, pained her more. It had been tragic. She was diagnose with cancer, 3 years after the moved and by then it was too late.

She died within weeks. Her family never mention her, it was too painful but now it seemed that it wasn't needed any words. Coming back itself was painful enough.

So, in a attempt to endure Tokyo, she asked her father at least to stay the summer, before they had to go back and he agreed.

So summer passed and now she was back.

The car stopped and she looked out the window. There it was, the house that she use to live in when she was small. The house her mother had design herself for her family.

"We're here" She said, knowing both her father and sister knew, but it more to herself.

"Yes. Everything must be unpack by now" He said turning the engine off.

The small family got off their car and stood side by side too look at the house. "This isn't going to be easy" Her father said, his voice filled with sadness.

The girl glanced at her father and laid her head on his shoulder. "We'll be alright" She said.

Her father's lip twitched, but he didn't dare to smile. He put his arms around each of his daughters and they all walked in together.

As expected, the whole house was already up and running thanks to the servitude. "I'll be in my study" Her father said, his arms slipped from both of their shoulder as her walked away.

"Dad, we haven't bought anything for school, and we start tomorrow" The younger sister said, slightly flipping her hair back.

She had grown to be one those kinds of girls. The ones who loved fashion and didn't lift a finger to do anything. She was daddy little girl, she got everything she wanted.

The older sister had grown to love the fashion as well, she was a preppy girl but she's wasn't as spoiled as he sister. She still remember what it was like to be normal. To be running around with boys, having real fun.

"Right… uhhh" Her father murmured and turned around to look at the oldest with sad eyes. "Hinata…"

"I'll take us shopping" The oldest girl said, a small smile on her face as she wrapped her arm around her sister's shoulder. "Come on let's go" She said as they turned around and to leave.

"See you at dinner daddy" The youngest called out before turning around to leave but didn't get a response from her father, he just kept on walking.

The ride to the mall, was normal for both girl. They both sat quietly, listening to the radio. "Meet me at 8 in the Food Court ok?" The oldest said as soon as they stepped into the mall. The little sister had already started to wonder off on her own.

"Yeah yeah" She said waving her hand and walking away as fast as her legs could take her.

"Little sisters" Hinata said to herself, holding back a chuckle. She began to walk around, peering through every store that were around, but nothing seemed to interest her. It was all so different from back in Tokyo, it seemed like in the states everything was very lumber yet preppy, something she wasn't.

Suddenly her eyes caught the sight of a pair of black leather boots. She smiled softly and entered the store. As she passed by she found very interesting shoes, she was sure she had entered the right store.

"Oh my god… Are those this season silver Manolo Blanick strappy sandals?" she heard someone gush behind her making her smile. She turned around and she felt like her whole body just froze. It was the girl her best friend had been in love with since forever, no one else had pink hair like hers.

"Are they?" The woman asked, looking into her eyes.

"Yes, they are" She said, forcing herself to smile.

"And is that the new dolce and gabana dress?" She gushed once more as she stared at her purple sun dress.

"That is correct" Hinata answered with a nod. "You know your fashion well" she chuckled.

"A girls got to know her stuff" She smiled. It was then the pink hair really looked into black hair's eye. "Hey, do I know you?" She asked, slightly squinting. The black haired girl was about to turn her face from the pink hair eyes, wondering if she would be lucky enough to not be recognize but it was too late. "Oh my god! You're Hinata Hyuga. Neji's cousin!" Sakura quickly said, her lips now showing a wide grin. "I remember you from we were little. You use to hang out with my ex"

"I… um…" Hinata struggled with her words.

"Don't you recognize me?" The girl asked slightly frowning. "Sakura Haruno"

"Yes I remember you" Hinata sigh in defeat. There was no way of avoiding it anymore, she was back and she would have to force herself to endure Sakura's presence.

"My god! You have grown well" Sakura said giving her a wink. "Naruto will be so happy to see you"

And it was then her heart stop, just with the mention of the name she felt herself out of breath and dizzy. "No!" She managed to say.

"No?" Sakura asked confuse.

"Don't tell him I'm here" She answered looking down at her feet. "Things didn't end that well when I left"

"I know" Sakura said, her hand now laid on her shoulder bringing her some kind of comfort. "He was pretty crushed when you left"

"He was?" Hinata asked, her eyes wide with shock.

"Yeah, you were his best friend" Sakura smiled. "I bet that even after all this time he would still know you are back"

"I guess" Hinata whispered. "But not yet… It's too soon"

"Ok" Sakura sigh. "I won't tell him" She promised. "So, your starting school tomorrow? I imagine you're going to the same place the rest of us are?"

"I guess" Hinata shrugged. "My father told me I'd me going to Konoha High"

"Then yes!" She squeaked. "How about we meet up tomorrow? I can help you with the tour and you don't have to be alone on your first day" She said as she smiled at a woman who had just entered the store.

Hinata pounder on the of hanging out with Sakura and her friends for the whole day. She thought of how Sakura was when she was little. She was mean and loud and although she was still loud she found her different. "Maybe she changed as well" She told herself.

"Ok" She agreed.

"Great!" Sakura grinned. "So, what are you up to for the night?"

"Oh I'm looking for a bookbag" She said.

"Oh don't worry about it. I'll bring you one tomorrow" Sakura smiled. "You still live in the same place, right?"

"Yes" She nodded.

"Then I'll be at your house at 7:30" Sakura said.

"Thank you" Hinata smiled and Sakura smiled back.

It has seemed that she wasn't the only that time had changed. It only made her wonder, had he change as well?
