Me: Hello readers! Sorry for -
Naruto: Why didn't you update sooner?
Me: Naruto, I was getting to that. -Throws stone at Naruto- Anyway, sorry I couldn't update quickly because my Internet stopped working for some annoying reason and it took me ages to fix it. And because I sorta had a writers block... Heehee...
Naruto: Ahh! Ami-chan! That hurts...
Me: Well, you should have thought about that before interrupting. KAKASHI!
Kakashi: -Looks scared- Uhh, Ami-chan does not own Naruto but she does own the story.
Yes, now on to the story.
E N J O Y !
After the punching 'incident' I was infamous. Well, to most of Sasuke's fans kept on trying to find his revenge by calling me names and such. I wanted to get away, far away from that demon.
Shikamaru's POV:
Ah... The Clouds are out and i'm in my favourite spot... Nothing can ruin this...
Just then, a cute girl, with unmistakably, long pink hair that reached her back appeared.
I guess she noticed me as she headed my way.
Hm... Who is she? Oh - she's that Haruno girl, the who beaten Sasuke.
"Hi." She said, looking at me with those mesmerizing emerald eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"Cloud watching." I answered, lazily.
"I love cloud watching!" She replied eagerly. "What's your name?"
"Shikamaru Nara." I sighed. This could get quite troublesome. "I dont have to ask for yours, you made quite an entrance a few day ago."
"Oh. That. Well, he started it!" She insisted. "He called me annoying and dissed my forehead!"
I looked at her forehead. Sure enough, it was a bit bigger than the average sized one.
"Means you're smart." I smiled.
She didn't answer me for a while, but she stood there grinning back at me.
"You flatter me, Nara, but I dont think that's it..."
BRIIIIING!
"Well, I better get to class! Talk to you later?" She asked.
I stretched and rested against the tree. "Mhm."
"Aren't you coming?"
"School's troublesome." I said simply. "I'm in Team Asuma. They'll tell you which team you are on soon."
End of POV.

After few hours later, it was finally lunch! Thank you, Kami!
I qued up in the canteen and bought my usual panini.
Walking out of the cafeteria, I was suddenly surrounded by those evil fangirls. They encircled around me, making it impossible to escape.
Green chakra appeared on my fists as I prepared a fight. But there wasn't.
"Take this, freak!" A girl shouted and they pelted me with eggs! EGGS!
I felt eggs being thrown at me, probably bruising every inch of my skin.
"Stop! STOP!" I shouted, but my words were drowned by giggles and insults.
"You know what? I think she looks prettier now. Those yolks and egg shells seemed to do their work." A red haired laughed.
I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and bolted to the girls' toilet where I locked myself inside a cubicle and cried my eyes out.
XxXxXxXxXxXxX
I sighed. I knew I couldn't hide this from them.
I walked to the front gates, ignoring the snide remarks my school mates gave me.
"Sakura!" Sasori said in distress. "What the hell happened?"
"Sasuke." I spat.
"Im going to kill that cocky bas-" he pused and recomposed himself, "I'll make my puppets eat him."
"I'll crush him with my coffin." Gaara interrupted whilst we stared at him with blank expressions. "Sand coffin." He said, staring at our Oh-I-get-it-now faces.
"I want to beat up that smug face." I growled.
"There's nothing we can do about it now. Let's go home." I decided. I'll soon take my revenge someday.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"Dinner's finished!" I called to my two brothers.
They arrived at the table and sat down on their seats.
We ate in silence, until I couldn't bear to hold the question that echoed in my head. "Do you miss Suna?"
"Yes." They said together.
"Remind me - why did we move?" I asked.
"Fangirls." Gaara grumbled while glaring at Sasori.
"Oh yeah! I remember now! I could barely get out of the house without those girls screaming at me and such." I rolled my eyes.
"And you wondered why we moved." Sasori smirked.
"Sakura, we'll talk to the Uchiha kid for you." Gaara said, changing the subject.
"Yeah, we'll beat the hell out of him." Sasori inclined.
I smiled knowing how sweet my annoying brothers could be, sometimes.
And we left it to that, as we said our good nights and fell asleep.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
During gym, I was told that I would be in Team Kakashi. I had no idea who was in our group, except Kakashi...
"Sakura-chaaaaan! You're in our group!" Naruto exclaimed. Ok, not that bad. He might have the attention span of a squirel but at least he would make training funny. Or not.
"Alright. Who's the third person?"
"Look behind you." He giggled evilly.
I spun and the sight made me choke. Yes, on my own saliva.
"YOU?" I screeched.
"Hn."
Ignoring the immature voice in my head (yep, my Inner was very immature) I turned round to face Naruto again. Ok, maybe this is bad. Training with him would give him the oppurtunity to kill me. Great. Maybe it is the best to ignore him.
"Are we sparring?" I asked.
"Maybe. Depends on what Kakashi-sensei decides. He's usually late though." Naruto groaned.
Then suddenly a small 'poof' was heard, and the head teacher appeared, grinning sheepishly.
"YOU'RE LATE!" Naruto screamed. I have a feeling he likes shouting.
"Ahaha, sorry... I got caught up on the path of life."
"LIAR!" Naruto retorted.
"Anyway, we have a new team member here - Haruno Sakura.I guess we should start off with sparring," Naruto 'yessed' at this. "So we can see each others strength. Who wants to go first?" Kakashi asked.
No one answered, which eventually led Kakashi to sigh. "I should have known... I'll choose then. Sasuke and Sakura, you'll spar first, we'll watch."
I inwardly groaned and much to his amusement, he smirked.I want to rip that expression off his ugly face. Yeah, I said it. U-G-L-Y.
That's what YOU MAY think.
INNER! Okay, tactics first, then we can talk, kay?
GENJUTSU! I wasn't the best, but it's still worth a try, right?
I focused on the Uchiha-jerk until his eyes became unfocus and his breathing slowed.
Yes! Haha, now I can get close range!
With agility and speed, I appeared in front of the oh-so-great Uchiha and controlled my chakra until most of them were evened out on my fist.
My fists glowed bright green - it wasn't even transparent anymore!
"Revenge is sweet." I muttered under my breath and punched him with all the force I had to his stomach. He fell, snapping out of my trance, but it was too late; my second fist was aimed straight to stomach again, causing him to cough blood.
He was sitting up, but panting heavily. I took this as an opportunity to scare him. I leaned in, so my mouth was right next to his ear.
"This is what you get when you insult my forehead." I whispered innocently; but I could see that he took this as a threat and stayed silent.
I 'hmphed' triumphantly and returned to Kakashi and Naruto who were staring at me intently as if I was an alien or something... This made me feel kind of self-concious.
"Congratulation, Sakura! You were the first to beat Sasuke." Kakashi informed me.
"O-oh, really?"
"OH YEAH! SASUKE GOT OWNED - AGAIN!" The annoying, blond shinobi bellowed before Kakashi could answer.
Why does Naruto have to shout? It was little bit too loud. Now, everyone was staring at me.
Neji, Tenten, Lee, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Kiba, Hinata - you get the picture.
I was going to murder Naruto. But in the end, I just blushed and faced away from the stares.
"Well done!" A girlish voice screamed. My curiosity got the better of me and I was suddenly hugged by... Ino?
"Thanks..." I mummbled.
Sheesh, what is WRONG with Konoha? There's a hyperactive blond who likes to shout, a really lazy guy, a cool wannabe, girl-who-hugs-randomly, someone who talks to dogs and a boy who keeps bugs on his pockets. What the hell?
"Heehee. Anyway - look! He's still on the ground and hypervilentilating!" Ino shrieked in delight, a little over much?
At being pointed out, Sasuke got up and scowled as he stormed out of the training ground.
"Haha! You got beaten up by a girl!" Naruto shouted as he ran after him.
"Whatever, I let her." I heard Sasuke say faintly.
"Well anyway," Ino cleared her throat. "Do you want me to come round your house so we can work on our homework together?"
"Uh, sure. Yeah, that'd be great." I said. "We'll be walking home though, because it's not that far."
"With Sasori and Gaara?" Ino asked.
"Yeah. Hope you dont mind though."
"No - it's fine." She grinned.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Shika-kuuuun!" I yelled, once I saw the lazy guy walking down the stairs.
"Ughh... Sakura, please dont call me that." Shikamaru complained, whilst I made my way down next to him.
I stood there, glaring. "Alright, pineapple head."
He sighed. "That's not any better." He grumbled. "You want me to call you pinkie?" He rosed an eyebrow challenging me. I glared at him, I hate being called that and anything about my forehead. "I guess not."
"I was joking." I stated.
He opened his mouth to speak when, "Sakuraaaa! Come on, let's go!" Ino sang from the bottom of the stairs.
"Sure!" I called to Ino, making my way down, ignoring the looks I got from other students. "I have to go now. See you tomorrow?"
Shikamaru smiled and nodded; I returned the smile and left off to walk with Ino, Sasori and Gaara.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
"It's getting late..." Ino said. "I guess I better get going."
"What? Okay..."
We packed off our stuff and Ino picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder.
Sasori and Gaara had appeared to bid my new friend good bye.
"Bye Saso-kun!" She said, giving him a wink and a flying kiss. Err, WHAT? "Bye Sakura!"
I nodded goodbye, and turned around to see Sasori's face frowning once Ino was out of sight.
"Aw, is something bothering dear Saso-kun?" I mocked, giggling all the while.
He shot me a glare and continued with his puppets.
Gaara, who was smirking just went back to his corner and stared blankly at the air.
"Jeez, I have the most depressing brothers ever!" I groaned.
"Talk about depressing, what's with you and Nara?" Gaara glared.
"That Nara kid? No, of course not. He's one of my friends. Yeah..." I said, casually.
"You seem a bit... tense," Sasori smirked. "Well, at least he doesn't order fangirls to throw eggs at you." Gaara nodded to confirm this.
"Talking about Sasuke... I beaten him up during training at school today." I said, feeling the glory bubbling inside me.
The rest of the converstation continued and I for once was succesful to change the subject.
Hee hee, hoped you liked this chapter.
