Tittle: White Cherry Blossoms
Parring: Haku x Sakura
Note/Disclaimer: I do not own any characters in naruto.
This story was first started out as kisshi-chans, and she put it up for adoption,
having fallen in love with the first part writen, I had adopted it.
Please do not flame me and say that I have stolen the idea, it is alright with her, that
I adopted the story.
Sakura and Haku walked through the door of Sakura's house.
"It's a little dusty. But I hope you don't mind." She said as she walked in and looked around her old and dusty apartment.
"No, not at all. after all you haven't been home for a little over a year."
"Your right." Sakura said as she walked up stairs. "Your room will be across the hall from mine, and there's a bathroom next to it. If you have any questions about anything feel free to shoot, I'll just be in the shower, it'll only take a few minutes."
Haku nodded and followed Sakura up the stairs and walked in to his new room. He could tell that is was used as a guest room before. Other than the layer of dust that was on everything, it was a warm and calm room. There was a queen sized bed in the corner of the room. The headboard was red mahogany, it had a deep red coverlet on top with gold trim on the edges, and in the center it had different kinds of flowers all over. Next to it was a small night stand that was also red mahogany. On the other side of the room there was a large closet, with sliding doors. On the floor was a blood red, gold , and black round floor mat.
He walked over to the bed and sat down, and a small cloud of dust moved as he sat down. Haku coughed and covered his mouth, maybe it wasn't such a good Idea to sit on the dusty bed. He got up again and walked out of the room. He would have to clean that up later.
"Hey, Sakura." Haku said walking towards the bathroom door.
"Hn? What is it?" She asked, the sound of the running shower drowned out most of the words.
Haku not hearing correctly, thought that she had said 'Come in.' So he reached for the door knob and turned it.
Sakura rinsed out the remainder of the lilac conditioner. She turned off the shower and pulled open the shower curtains. She ran her hands through her hair to ring out most of the water that was left in her long pink locks. When she was done she she took a step out, on to the dry mat on the floor.
Haku opened the door and stopped in his tracks.
Sakura looked at him suddenly.
Both of them had there mouths open, Sakura because she was a bit shocked at him opening the door, and Haku shocked by the sight he was seeing.
Sakura then took in what just happened and was the first to react. She let out a ear piercing scream and reached for the first thing that she was able to pick up and hurl at her sudden 'intruder'. too bad for Haku that 'thing' was a shapoo rack that still help the shampoo and conditioner.
A slight blush crossed Haku's face. He still didn't know what he was seeing. The next thing he knew was that he was face first on the ground with and shampoo rack imprint across his face.
Sakura soon riped off a towel from the wall and wrapped it around her small frame. She then dashed out the door in to her room.
About twenty minuets later Sakura emerged from her room. She was wearing a short black skirt that ran down till mid thigh. Underneath she wore black leggings that cut off an inch above her knee. Her top was red that matched perfectly with her hair, it had long sleeves that reached down past her wrists, her left sleeve was cut off, and on her right sleeve, on her shoulder, was a simple cut out design of a cherry blossom. She still wore her grass headband around her neck, and her hair was now kept in a braid that rested over her shoulder. She no longer wore her Konoha headband on her head like she used, but she had used it to tie the end of her braid, it may be smaller than the regular headband but it still showed the Konoha symbol clearly, And just for decoration, she had a few bracelets litter her wrists.
Sakura still had a slight blush cover her cheeks. She brushed her bangs to the side and looked down the hall to see that Haku was still on the ground. "I think I hit him a bit too hard..." she walked to where he was laying.
'W-why that dirty bastard!'
There was Haku, lying on the floor. His face was red and he had a tiny trail of blood coming from his nose.
"Well! I'll see you down stairs then!" She practically yelled in his ear, then she stormed down the stairs.
&&&
Haku walked down the stairs just a bit after Sakura. "Um Sakura-chan?"He said looking around the kitchen. "I didn't mean to look in on you in the bathroom. I thought that you said you where done and I could come in."
"Oh I'm so sure!" Sakura said coming out from the living room. "Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was!" Her voice was starting to raise.
'Oh you have no idea.' Haku thought to himself. He looked at sakura and his mind started to wonder. "Any way..." He said turning around. "Ino called and she wants to do something with us, same with some other people." Haku said making something up. His mind was starting to wander and if he didn't do something he would have another nose bleed soon.
"Fine we may as well go." Sakura said cutting him some slack, she knew that Ino didn't call, ever since she started to go out with Sasuke she never did.
Haku nodded his head and started for the door.
&&&
The pair of them walked down the street in silence. It would take a while before they started talking again, give or take two days. or maybe not...
"Hey Sakura, I'm sorry."
Sakura let out a sigh "Its alright, I forgive you."
Sakura stopped in front of a tea house and smiled. There she could here the conversation of the whole rookie nine.
Sakura smiled and pulled Haku along in the tea house.
"Oh hey Forehead girl!" Ino said first, She was hanging on Sasuke like her life depended on it.
"Hey." She said smiling at Ino, But Ignoring Sasuke like he wasn't ever there.
"Forehead girl?" Haku said with a smirk.
"Shut up!" Sakura hissed at him
"Oh my god! I love both of your guys outfits! where did you get them."
"I got mine from grass."Sakura said turning her attention back to Ino.
"What about you?" Ino looked at Haku. He was wearing Sleeveless grey shirt, and loose black pants. He still had The black choker around his neck and his hair was left down.
"Mind if we sit down?"
"I got mine from Water."
"Go ahead Sakura-Chan!" Naruto yelled out. A huge grin on his face.
Both of them sat down and Ino continued to talk.
"So Who's your hunky boyfriend?" Ino asked as she checked out Haku. then giggled.
"This is Haku, he's my friend." Sakura said.
"I'm Ino, nice to meet you Haku." She winked at him. Haku just ignored her and she huffed and went back to annoying Sasuke.
"Haku, this is Naruto, Hinata, Shino, Shikamaru and Neji, Ten-ten. oh and that's Sasuke." She said saying Sasuke's name with out the 'kun' which made him shift in his seat, but no one noticed.
Haku nodded at the others and also ignored Sasuke, even though Haku wasn't the one to judge on appearance, He didn't like him. and he could also tell that Sasuke was going to be trouble in the near future.
"S-so Haku-san, w-were are you staying right now?" Hinata said a nervous blush on her face.
"Well right now I'm staying with Sakura."
"Oh! Scandalous!" Ino squeezed out loud.
"Jeez Ino, Your so quick to jump to conclusions." Ten-ten sighed
"Well you would too! I mean forehead has a hot guy living with her!" Ino once again squealed.
"Yeah right, I don't think that Sasuke Wants to hear you talk about another guy being hot." Ten-ten looked to Sasuke, who looked like he should care less.
"Aw, Sasuke-kun did I hurt your feelings?" The blonde cooed as she moved on to his lap.
"No."He mearly growled and shoved her off then stormed off.
"Wow. Whats up his ass?" I asked Haku, who just shrugged and smirk and the departing Uchiha. 'That's strange, he was like that in Tsunade-sama's office today too.'
"Iunno, he could just have his period." Haku chuckled
"Well I'm going to go and sit with the other guys, since Naruto asked me already."
"Sure." Sakura said as she nodded.
"So, do you think that Haku likes it here in Konoha?" Hinata asked after Haku was out of ear shot..
"I think its going well, he seems to be happy."Sakura said As she watched haku laugh at one of the guys jokes, then come back over to where Sakura was sitting." Haku Hinata just asked how you like it here so far."
He smiled as he put an arm around Sakura's shoulders "I'm having fun." Sakura blushed a bit.
"Well thats always good" Ten-ten chirped
"Yeah and its also nice here."
"Here Haku Have my chair I'll go and get another one." Sakura said as she stood up and let Haku take the seat.
"Thats alright, you don't need to." Haku said as he pulled her down and she was soon sitting on his lap, and leaning against his his chest. Which made Sakura blush even more.
"H-Haku!" Sakura gasped as she then looked over the table to find the girls giggiling and wispering to each other.
"Hai Sakura-chan?" He said in a calm voice
"N-nothing." she said with a sigh
Soon after Haku had started to act like he was one of the gang, it surprized Sakura at first thet her friends had accepted him with open arms, Excluding Sasuke.
"Looks like we better get going. I still have to show Haku around some more."Sakura said
"Aw. Alright forehead girl." Ino said.
"Nice meeting you all."Haku said as Sakura pulled him out of the teashop and down the street.
"Whats the matter Sakura-chan?" Haku said after a few moments of silence.
"Whats the matter!? The matter is what you pulled in the tea shop."She said stopping to look at him "what came over you! you never did that before, adn why did you suddenly do that just now?"
"Oh. the lap thing? I just thought that it was too much hassle to get a new chair, and I didn't mind if you sat on my lap. To tell you the truth it was comfy." He said with a small smirk on his face.
"That was just to get me back for earlier today!" she nearly screeched.
"You guessed it, and it worked too."
"You bastard!" she mumbled under her breath.
"Now what about the rest of the village?" Haku said continuing to walk.
Sakura looked at him, he still hadn't changed since the day she met him. He was still sly as ever and still as charming, which annoyed Sakura to hell and back.
"Hey wait you don't know where you are with out me!" she said as she quickened her pace to catch up with him.
&&&
Haku lended over to catch his breath, he never ran that hard in his life before."Who would have thought that I'd have fangirls in this village also?" haku said in between breaths.
"Just shut up." Sakura hissed as she looked out from an allyway.
"Same goes for you." he said as she looked over her head, since he was taller."Looks like its all clear." Haku said as she steped out from the allyway and then pulled Sakura out from it.
"Lets just go home before they find us."
"Agreed." Sakura said as she let out a sigh. and they started walking, cautiously, down the street.
Sakura and Haku once again walked through the doors and into her house.
"Hey Sakura I'm just going to jump in the shower, I'll be done in about fifteen minutes."
"Sure I'll get dinner ready then."She said and they both whent there different ways, one upstairs and the other to the kitchen.
Sakura walked in to the kitchen and started to pull out things. "I guess it will be spagetti tonight." She said as she pulled out the ingredients. She soon got to cooking.
"Shit!" Sakura said as she spilt some of the tomato sauce on her shirt. "Now I have to change it." Sakura looked at the noodles they would be done in about ten minutes so she had enough time to run upstairs and change her shirt.
So she ran up the stairs and quickly changed, when she was done she walked out the door and looked down the hall. "Looks like Haku's still in the..." She trailed off as she saw the door open. Haku walked out with a towel around his waist and one around his neck.
Sakura looked at him. She never really saw him with out his shirt off before so this was kind of a first for her. Her mouth was slightly open and she couldn't beleve her eyes. He was so well toned and his muscles where well definded. She blushed a bit and in return he did as well.
Breaking the silence Haku looked at her. "Sakura?"
"The food!" She said as she came back to reality and then dashed down the stairs.
"Didn't this happen before?" Haku said as he walked in to his room, to get redy for the dinner.
"Damn, that was close." She said as she drained the noodles. 'It was almost a repeat of this morning.'
"Haku. Dinner's done." She said up the stairs.
"Comming." He said as less than a second later he walked down the stairs and took his seat at the table. He took a plate and filled it up with noodles then added the sauce after.
The both of them ate in silence, this was getting a bit akward for both of them, and they both knew it.
'Should I tell her? No, she wouldn't care, she doesn't care for you in the same way as you do for her.' Hakus mind said.
'OK this is getting a bit weird. This is a guy I liked for almost a year now and all I can think about is myself. If I tell him he'll just go back to wave. I'll just have to wait for the right time! But when will that be? Ten minutes, ten years?' Sakura's mind seemed to be doing the same thing.
Sakura looked up as she finished her dinner. "Well I'm going to go to bed now. "She stood up and picked up her plate then walked in to the kitchen, Haku followed doing the same.
"Yeah me too, I have to clean the room tomorrow its full of dust." He said putting the plate in the sink.
'This is it! Tell him that he can stay in your room for the night! He'll say yes, you know he would.'
"Well you don't have to sleep down here tonoght, you can sleep in my room, with me." Sakura paused "On the floor that is, there isn't enough romo on the bed for the both of us."
"Sure that sounds alright, I'm just lucky that you don't snore." Haku chukkled to himself.
Sakura just ignored the remark and trudged up the stairs. "I'm getting changed so don't come in till I come out!"
"Fine, I wasn't planing on doing so anyways." he said after her.
"Do you believe this? did you see how he was all over her!"
"Don't tell me your jealous Uchiha."
"Shut up, I'm just saying they should keep it in doors."
"Much like how you and Ino 'keep it in doors'?"
The Uchiha had no comment.
"Wow that's a first, I shut up the famous Uchiha."
"I said Shut up Kabuto!"
"My my, you temper seems to have gotten worse." Kabuto said with a smirk on his face. "Remember your debt to me, I helped you kill him, and got rid of that seal, Sasuke. Time for you to fill your end of the deal."
"Hai, and I found the perfect test subject." Sasuke smiled. Yes, he did find the perfect test subject, no to go and get him.
"I hope there promising." The ninja said and jumped off.
"Oh they are, I guarantee it."
One week later
"Hey Sakura-chan. Sakura-chan are you up?" Haku said whispering in her ear.
"Hmmmm." She said swatting her ear, due to Hakus breath.
"Sakura-chan." He said in a honey sweet voice.
"What?" Sakura said impatiently.
"Sakura-chan." He said again.
"What!" she said and turned oer to see him but instead she fell off the bed and went crashing to the floor.
Haku laughed as she fell to the ground.
"What time is it?" Sakura said getting up and looking at the clock. "Seven!!" I could have slept in for another two hours! Haku why did you wake me up!" The rosette haired woman turned to him, glaring.
"Ha ha well Ino called. and she wanted to hang out with you today, I said that's alright with me, and Naruto had asked me to go and hang with him."
Sakura let out a sigh, she would have to sleep in another day."Fine." Sakura said.
"Alright I'll be going now, meet you later." Haku said and was out the door.
&&&
Sakura ran down the streets of Konoha, she took longer to get dressed since everything of hers was either in scrolls or scattered all over her floor. Sakura waved at people she knew as she ran past them. Some or more like most of the people Sakura waved at just looked at her like she was from a different planet. She didn't expect any different from them, after all she did wear strange clothing now and she also had strange markings on her forehead, but that didn't bother her, not in the least.
Sakura looked around once more and noticed that she ran right by Ino's. So she ran back and knocked on the door.
"There you are forehead, what took you so long?" Ino scowled.
"I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
"Typical forehead, now come on, Tenten and Hinata are already inside." Ino said, ushering me into her living room.
"Sakura!" yelled Tenten.
"Sakura." Hinata nodded.
"Hey guys." Sakura greeted.
"Whats going on?" she asked as she looked at the girls.
They put on innocent faces before shrugging.
"Well I guess I should go if there's no reason for me to be here."
"No! Don't leave!" Ino said quickly.
"Fine, but you better not be up to something." Sakura said looking at her and crossing her arms. Then took a seat next to Hinata.
"So...we never did learn why you wear Grass's hitai-ate and why there's a leaf on your huge forehead." Ino snorted.
"Well that's kinda a long story, But it tell you the short version. I have my own kekki genkai, from grass, since I was born there. The leaf is there because I have control over my abilities. I wear the hitai-ate because like I said, I was born in Grass." Sakura said as she looked around the room.
"Wow so your like...Sasuke in a way?" Tenten said in confusion.
"I guess, I mean his parents are dead, and both sets of my parents are dead but then again, I'm the last of my clan, Sasuke still has Itachi to deal with before he can be considered the last of his clan." Sakura spoke in a soft voice. "And we both have a kekkei genkai, and we were both alone. Now I have Haku and he has Naruto as a best friend. Not to mention I have you guys." She said looking sheepishly around.
"Well you know you could show us a demonstration of your kekki genkai." Ino said.
"Yeah! Show us something!!" Tenten said looking excited.
"Why don't we all go to the training fields?" Hinata suggested.
"Okay, let's change!" Ino said while running to her room. They all agreed to meet up at field one after changing. Sakura ran home and threw on one of Haku's grey shirts and slipped on a pair of her tight shorts. She ran to the fields only to run into the boys heading there too.
"Hey, why are you guys here?" Sakura asked, hands on her hips.
"Well they wanted to train so I tagged along."
"Oh alright, Just stay off field one. Don't want any of you boys getting hurt." Sakura said as she winked and smiled.
"Che, as if." Sasuke grumbled.
"Fine. We'll stay off that field, if you tell us what you girls are doing." Shikamaru said.
"I'm showing them some of my kekki genkai." Sakura said as she turned around to head to the grounds but was stopped by Naruto's voice in the background.
"Can we see Sakura-chan!"
Sakura let out a tiny sigh and nodded.
The boys and Sakura walked to where the others where.
&&&
Hinata in her black Capri's and black shirt with a section of mesh in the front, Ino in her purple top and matching skirt with her thighs and middle bandaged and Tenten in a pair of dark green Capri's and a light pink Chinese shirt.
"What are they doing here?" Ino asked with her hands crossed on her chest.
"Blame Naruto. He wanted to see too." Sakura pointed to the pouting fox boy.
"Sakura-chan said it was okay!" he said quickly, as not to get him pounded by us.
"I did, then they'll leave." Sakura glared at them, watching them nod, agreeing that they would leave once the demonstration was over.
"Okay stand back." Sakura said as she walked out in to the open. She closed her eyes, she said a few chants and slowly raised her arm over her head. Her hand was facing palm up, so that it was pointing towards the sky. Her other arm shot out in front of her, and she then opened her eyes. She spun around in a circle, with her arms still in the same place then stopped, she then raised up her hand to face the sky.
The ground started to shake and this startled more than the girls.
"Oh my go! what happening!" Ino yelled.
Sakura smiled and soon enough four huge pillars of water appeared, each on one side of Sakura.
"T-That's amazing!" hinata said.
Haku just crossed his arms and nodded with a smile."That's one of her favourite attack, that is when she has time to summon it."
Everyone looked at Sakura.
"Do something else Sakura!" Tenten said.
Alright" She said as she let the water pillars go back into the ground. Sakura knelt down and did some rapid hand signs, some chants and ended it all with her palms hitting the ground. This ended up with grass, flowers, and tress of all kinds shooting up from the ground at a rapid rate.
"Wow, now that's interesting." Shikamaru said looking at the grass and everything else. "That can come in very handy for missions."
"Yeah I know." Sakura said fighting her way through the mini jungle.
"That is so cool!" Ino jumped up and down. "how did you do that!"
"Easy I pumped chakra in to the ground and with my kekki genkai, it causes this to happen." She said turning to look at her handy work.
"Yeah well now that we've seen her kekki genkai, we can get back to training." Haku said making everyone to turn to him.
They all nodded and left.
"See you later Hinata-chan! You too Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled before he was pulled off by one of the guys.
"Why don't we train each other?" Hinata said, once all of the guys had gone over to another field. She wasn't as nervous when she was around her girl friends, it's the guys and Naruto that made her stutter.
"Sure why not." I said as the other girls agreed.
Tenten helped them with our aim as Hinata showed them how to increase our speed, because out of all of all the girls, she was the fastest. Ino, who was good at seduction, taught them different ways to seduce a man to get information, and Sakura showed the girls how to control their chakra better and how to use it to create whips and to use it with kunai and shuriken.
A few hours later the girls decided to stop.
"Eww! I'm all sweaty!" Ino winned.
'Welsome to the real world princess.' Tenten thought to her self. "Yeah thats what you get when you work out non-stop for a few hours."
"Tenten I'm not in the mood for your remarks."
"Ok then, how about we all go home, Get showerd, get changed and then go out for dinner?" Sakura said trying to break up the on coming fight.
"That sound good, Sakura-san" Hinata said taking the hint.
"Alright, I'm gone." Ino said walking away, the other soon followed.
&&&
The pink haired girl walked in to her house, Haku seemed to be out still."Finally, some time to my self." Sakura said as she walked up the stairs and in to the bathroom.
She turned on the water and let the hot water fill the tub. Sakura stripped off her clothes and climbed in the hot water. "Ahh." she said as she let out a sigh of releif. this is just what she needed after a long days work out. When she was done she leaserly climbed out. Sakura walked to her room and changed then headed out the door to the ramen stand that Naruto loves so much.
"Sakura!" Ino called Sakura over as she looked around for the girls.
"Over here!" Tenten shouted when Sakura couldn't locate them. It seemed that the stand had turned into a resturant, not a big one but one that was big enough for the rookie nine plus twenty-one more, so enought for thirty people in all.
"Wow they expanded." Sakura said to her self.
She walked over to them and looked around taking in the sudden differince.
The girls talked for what seemed to be an hour, when they got there food they ate it like it was the last in the world, Sakura had an exsuse to but she didn't know about the others.
"So Sakura, how's living with Haku?" Tenten winked.
"He's nice, and he cooks!" Sakura giggled.
"Haku cooks?" Hinata asked, because her cousin Neji had tried to cook once, it resulted in having to remodel the kitchen due to all of the burn marks on the cabinets. Just the memory of walking in there when I stayed the night, made me smile.
"I guess some guys can cook! Poor Neji though, I don't think he'll ever go near a stove ever again." Ino cackled.
"Yeah. Haku's really talented in the kitchen, last night we had steak and mashed potatoes." Sakura stared off in to space, just thinking about it.
"Sounds so good." Tenten sighed.
"Hello, sakura is any one home?" Tenten said with a smile on her face.
"Huh, Oh Sorry. I just spaced out for a second." The girls laughed, Sakura just looked at them thinking 'whats so funny?'
"Well I think that its about time I head home." Sakura said looking out side to see that it got darker.
"Yeah sure, see you later then." Ino said.
"Bye girls." sakura said as she put the money she owed on the table and walked home.
Sakura walked in the door. "Home." She said as she looked around and saw Haku sitting on the couch reading a book. He must have just gotten out of the shower because her was only wearing pants and his hair was still damp.
"Welsom back, how was traning?" he said as she set the book down and watched her come around to the side of the couch.
"It was fine, it was tiring though. "She said as she colapsed on the couch, her head on Hakus lap and her feet haning over the edge. "What about you?"
"Yes, the traning session, oh and I was pleased to know that you took one of my shirts."
Sakura looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "What?" She finally said.
"If youd seen sasukes face you would know, he tried to take it out on me. It was a sight to see, even Neji backed off." Haku smirked.
"Really?" sakura said tring to hide a smilem, but that failed. Sakura sat up and rested her head against Haku's shoulder.
"Yeah, but as you know I beat him. He wont be able to use his arm for a while."
Sakura smiled again, and closed her eyes."Haku?"
"Hm?"
"Have you ever kissed a girl before?"
"What? why do you want to know?" he said looking at her shocked.
"I just do."
"Well, if you must know, " he let out a sigh. "No."
"Really?" Sakura said looking up at him. Haku just looked away.
"Drop it."
Sakura giggled, it was so cute that hw was acting like this." Hey Haku."
"Yeah?"
"Look at me." She said and she put her hand to the side of his face.
"Why do you..." he was cut off by Sakura's lips pressed against his.
Haku closed his eyes in pure instinct and ran his hand through her hair, Sakura did the same.
BAM!!
BAM!!
BAM!!
The door burst open.
both of them looked as if they where little kids that got caught taking cookies from the cookie jar.
"Saku...What where you guys just doing?"
Well there you guys go, I'm sorry for such the lat update, I really am.
Please forgive me!!!
Anyways tell me what you think.
Oh and next chapter there will be more Haku Sakura moments, And I hope that you all like the next chappy and are looking forward to it.
I'm also sorry for any spelling mistakes, or punctuation errors, etc...
Till next time,
