Chapter 2: Accidents and accidental revealing

"Can you believe it Sakura, a guy actually insisted on going out with me on the first day? I mean he doesn't even know me!" Tenten ranted.

"That's weird… some guy also asked me out a while ago, who is this guy anyways?" Sakura asked.

"My seatmate"

"Likewise"

Silence.

"Coincidence maybe?" Tenten said

"Or not…I mean how often it that this happens is?" Sakura asked suspiciously.

"Just forget about it" Tenten said.

"Guess you're right" Sakura muttered.

"Sakura, Tenten" Somebody called behind them.

The two teens jumped up in shock "K-Kurenai-sensei!"

"Um…What can we do for you?" Sakura asked.

Kurenai sighed "Can you give this letter to the administration's office, I could do it myself but I have a lot of paperwork to do" Kurenai said handing them a white envelope.

"We could….but…" Sakura said her voice trailing.

"We kinda forgot where it is" Tenten finished.

Sakura laughed nervously and grinned sheepishly

Kurenai laughed "You just pass the lunch room and turn left in the next corner"

"You're done with lunch right?" Kurenai asked.

They both nodded "We had an early Lunch"

"That's great, well I'll be going now" Kurenai said then left.

Sakura looked at Tenten then smirked "Race you!" Sakura said running ahead.

"Hey! That's cheating!" Tenten shouted but still ran after her.


"So when's the next turn down?" Naruto asked with a smirk, while taking a sip of his ramen.

Neji scowled while Sasuke glared.

"I'm not giving up yet dobe" Sasuke said coldly.

"Neji?" Naruto asked, looking at him smugly

"This is child's play" Neji replied.

"So you lose"

"What's the matter Hyuuga can't keep up with a girl" Sasuke said, smirking.

"Right back at you Uchiha" Neji said, glaring at him dangerously.

"So you're backing out" Naruto said

"Whatever"

"So Sasuke what do you plan to do?" Naruto asked.

"Wait. The Uchiha charm will soon get her" Sasuke said assertively.

"And if your so called Uchiha charm Doesn't work?" Neji asked

"Yeah Sakura-chan isn't exactly an easy target" Naruto said.

"I'm done" Sasuke said, standing up, bringing his lunch with him.

Sasuke was about to throw away his lunch when a pink blur suddenly crashed into him.

'What the…' Sasuke thought as his leftovers settled itself on his head and clothes.


'Oh my god! I can't believe this' Sakura thought as she looked at the guy that asked her out a while ago, he was covered in food and milk, which was her entire fault 'I'm so dead!'

She was just looking back to see if Tenten was close but when she looked forward again BAM! She accidentally crashed into him.

"Um…Sorry?" Sakura said uncertainly and nervously 'This is just not my day…'

"Hey Saku, what happened?" Tenten asked from behind.

Sakura looked at her nervously "Well you see…I kinda crashed into him" Sakura said pointing at Sasuke.

"Um…Sasuke was it? Well…I'm really sorry I really didn't mean to bump into you" Sakura apologized as politely as she can.

Everybody in the lunch room was now staring at them with wide eyes. THE Uchiha Sasuke was just embarrassed by a new girl! Now that was a sight to see!

Sakura fidgeted nervously when he didn't respond "Um….Sasuke?"

Sakura looked at him in shock when he suddenly slammed her on a nearby wall.

"Look pinky, nobody has ever done this to me before so get ready" Sasuke whispered huskily.

Sakura looked at him with narrowed eyes "You think I'm scared? Try me I'm used to this" Sakura replied confidently.

Sasuke smirked and let go off her 'We'll see…I haven't had a target for days now this'll be good'

Sakura fixed her slightly wrinkled uniform and looked at Sasuke with a smirk "I'm not like your other targets Uchiha, if that's what you're thinking" She was almost out of the lunch room when she stopped and looked at Sasuke "And Uchiha…..can you clean yourself you look like crap" And with that she took off with Tenten following behind her.

"Tough luck, Uchiha" Neji said behind him with Naruto snickering beside him.

Sasuke glared at them and took off to clean himself


"B-But Sakura-chan, Uchiha-san is really known to be bullying others in school" Hinata stammered.

"You worry too much Hinata, Sakura can take care of herself and doesn't Uchiha get scolded by the teachers?" Tenten asked.

"Um…Uchiha-san owns the school" Hinata replied.

"So what if he does he doesn't scare me" Sakura said confidently.

"But Uchiha-san's notorious for making others drop out if they did anything wrong to him or if they were annoying him" Hinata reasoned.

"He won't make me" Sakura said.

"Ok….but why did you have to race towards the lunch room?" Hinata asked.

Sakura's eyes widened as she searched her pockets "Oh my god…I totally for got about the letter!"

"What! It's not with you!" Tenten shouted.

"I think it fell when I crashed!"

"Maybe it's still at the lunch room! Let's go!" Tenten said as she rushed towards the room.

"Hinata, I'll see you later!" Sakura shouted before following Tenten.


'Stupid girl…' Sasuke thought as he wiped his now filthy uniform.

'What's this?' Sasuke thought as he felt something in his pocket 'A letter…? It must've gotten here when pinky crashed into me, so this is hers?'

Sasuke examined the letter before opening it, it read:

Tsunade-sama,

I appreciate your kindness for letting Sakura enter your school she really appreciates the scholarship but on with the serious matters…..Please take care of Sakura, she still doesn't know that she already has a step mother here in Germany since I know that she won't forgive me that I already replace her mother already. I still need to wait for the right time to tell her that and that she already has a fiancé waiting for her here….I'm sure that she'll be shocked to find that out. And when she finds out that I'm not even here for a business trip I'm sure that she'll be really angry with me for lying to her that much especially since she loved her mother very much…after her death Sakura hasn't really been that happy, she may smile a lot but I know my daughter better than that so I hope that she haves fun there before she finds out about her fiancé and stepmother. I know that I haven't been really a father to her but hope that you'll take good care of her before I take her with me to Germany in a few months.

Sincerely,

Mr. Haruno

P.S. please don't tell Sakura about this.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed 'What the hell is this? Fiancé? Stepmother? Death? Lies?'

'I think the principal has some explaining left to do' Sasuke thought as he walked out of the bathroom and went towards the principal's office.


"Where is it?" Sakura shouted frustratedly.

"Sakura calm down" Tenten said.

"I can't! I need to go to the principal's office now!" Sakura said sternly.

"I'll come with you" Tenten said.

"No this is my fault" Sakura said as she walked away towards the principal's room

As soon as she reached the area she was about to open the door when she heard talking from the inside 'That voice…It's familiar…'

Sakura's eyes widened as he heard her name and her father's

'I can't believe this….'


"You have some explaining to do" Sasuke said coldly as he barged into the room.

"Uchiha-san what are you doing here?" Tsunade asked.

Sasuke went near her desk and placed the letter on her desk.

Tsunade's eyes narrowed "Where did you get this?"

"It accidentally got on me when Sakura crashed into me I think she was suppose to give it to the admin"

"Uchiha, I advise you to forget what was written in here" Tsunade aid coldly.

"Explain to me what's in that letter"

"Mind your own business"

"I can have you fired you know"

"….Fine but this doesn't get out okay?"

"Hn"

"Okay…." Tsunade sighed.

"As written here Sakura's mother died a year ago when her dad was and still is in Germany…I really feel about this you know…"

"Continue"

Tsunade sighed…she really didn't have a choice doesn't she?

"Her dad already heard the news he was suppose to go back to Japan but something went wrong since her father met this woman"

"I suppose that's her stepmother?" Sasuke said.

Tsunade nodded "After 3 months they got married and well…there was this guy who saw Sakura's picture and got attracted to her and since his family helped her dad when he needed it, he had no choice to accept the proposal of the boy to be engaged with Sakura and her dad isn't really on a business trip there he was just saying it so Sakura wouldn't get any ideas"

"So he lied to his own daughter"

"I'm afraid so"

"How do you know this?"

"Because I was a close friend of her mother's"

"Ah"

"I'm telling you Uchiha this stays between the two of us"


Sakura couldn't take it anymore…she ran off tears slowly streaking her pale face.

'No way…That can't be possible!' Sakura thought as she ran out of school but before she reached the exit she met up with Tenten

"Sakura? What happened? Why are you crying?"

"Please…I just need some time alone don't tell anyone where I'm going" Sakura pleaded.

"O-Okay"

"Thank you" Sakura said as she ran off.

'What the hell happened?'


Sasuke swore he heard somebody out here but I guess he was wrong

He was about to leave when something caught his eye, it was a silver bracelet.

'Who could've dropped this?' Sasuke thought as he got the bracelet and put it in his pocket


Sakura sat at an old rusty swing down at an old park, tears freely falling.

'They never told me….they never did'

'I have a step mom and….a fiancé….I can't believe it I haven't even met the guy and dad…how could you do this to mom and how could you lie to me?'

'You're an idiot Sakura! How could you be fooled like this! Even Uchiha knows! Y-You're such an idiot! Idiot! Idiot!'

More ears fell from her emerald eyes as she wiped them away.

'I should go back now…Tenten must be worried about me and so is Hinata….' Sakura thought as she got up and walked her way back to school.


"What happened Uchiha? You seem colder than before?" Neji asked.

"Nothing"

"So Sasuke still up for the challenge?" Naruto asked.

"Nope I have something else in mind for her" Sasuke replied with a smirk.

"She's your next target isn't she" Neji stated rather than asked.

"Yeah"

"What? How come? She's too pretty to be your target" Naruto whined.

"Shut up dobe, didn't you see what happened a while ago, nobody does that to me" Sasuke said coldly.

"What? So Sakura-chan embarrassed you in front of the whole school so what?"

Silence

"Dobe"

"Teme!"


"Sakura! There you are!" Tenten said in relief.

Sakura smiled weakly "Hi Tenten"

"S-Sakura-chan what happened?" Hinata asked nervously.

"I found everything out…"

"You found what out?" Tenten asked.

"Everything the truth about my dad"

"Eh? I'm confused" Tenten said.

"S-Sakura-chan?" Hinata asked as she saw a tear roll down her cheek.

Sakura quickly wiped it away and smiled "It's nothing really"

"Don't 'it's nothing me' If it's nothing then why the hell are you crying!"

"Can we speak somewhere else?" Sakura asked.

"Stop making excuses nobody's around" Tenten said.

Sakura sighed "My dad…He lied to me…"

Sakura told the whole story to both of them

"How did you find that out?" Tenten asked in a barely audible voice.

"The letter we lost it was a letter from my dad and I think Uchiha accidentally got it and he read it and he went to Tsunade-sama to get some explanations so when I went to the principal's office I overheard them talking" Sakura explained meekly.

"I-I'm so sorry Sakura-chan" Hinata whispered.

Sakura smiled "It's not your fault, let's go we still have classes" Sakura said, putting on a bright face.

'This is a new start for me…'
