Sakura spent the next night cleaning the kitchen chuckling. Her first day at Okiyama academy was nothing to brag about. She spent almost the whole day in the front office being interviewed by the Hokage of Konoha and the Kazekage of sand. Both were the principles of the academy.
She learned that she'd have 4 classes; weaponry, ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. The day had went by without a problem. Her teachers were cool and the students… well.. they'd take some getting use to. It turned out that the girls in Asuma's class were right. The boys in Okiyama Academy were cute and strong. But the girls forgot to mention that the boys were also bloodthirsty. And the girls of Okiayama Academy were hotheads with kunais.
She sighed and feverishly scrubbed a pot. The new school would be a challenge but in reality, it would be fun. No more silly girls and stupid boys.
The door behind Sakura slid open, the shuffle of feet resounded. Sakura tensed but continued scrubbing. A cold kunai came up against Sakura's throat, "Who are you?"
Sakura shivered slightly. Slowly she turned her head and found white eyes. "My names Haruno Sakura. I'm one of the new help that Lady Hyuuga Shuichi ordered. It's my job to clean on the night shifts."
The person before her stood back and nodded. To Sakura's ever loving embarrassment she blushed. She really couldn't help it, the guys was cute! He had long dark brown hair in a low pony tail and the face of an angel. She shook her head, scolding herself. Looking behind the boy she saw a timid looking girl twiddling. Sakura smiled slowly, the girl looked so cute.
Without a word the boy left. Sakura watched him go then turned to the girl and gave a slight bow. The girl smiled nervously. "I- I'm sorry for my cousin's r-rude behavior." She gave a little bow. "It's in h- his nature."
Sakura shook her head, "No it's alright. He's a boy. It's allowed." The girl chuckled a little, Sakura smiled. "May I ask what your name is?"
The girl looked at her swiftly then nodded. "M- My name is Hyuuga H- Hinata." She gave a slight bow. "N- Neji is a bit like m- my body guard."
Sakura grinned, "A body guard? Wow, you must be real important then." She laughed, "My names Haruno Sakura. I'll be working Kitchen shifts mainly. Not to brag but I can cook and clean like few can!"
Hinata smiled, "That's nice. I- I couldn't do th- that if I tried!" She walked over to the sink where Sakura was scrubbing a pot still. "B- Besides.. my father wouldn't want me to learn how to c- cook or clean. H- He wants me to be able to become a gr- great ninja."
Sakura cocked her head studying Hinata as Hinata's face went drwn and slightly sad. She chewed her lip than thought out loud. "Well do you want to be a ninja?"
Hinata nodded. Sakura grinned, "Then you'll be fine! One day you will be strong! That's what I believe!"
Hinata blinked for a moment then nodded with a smile. "Yes! That's what I believe to!"
Hinata and Sakura grinned at each other for a few moments then giggled slightly. Sakura smiled and put a pot away. "Well.. my shift is up so I have to go, but I'll see you tomorrow?" Hinata nodded. Sakura grinned brightly, "Good! Later!" She turned and ran out the door leaving a smiling Hinata. Never noticing that from the shadows around the corner, a pair of eyes watched her.
The next morning Sakura came to class exhausted. Her second day of school and she was ready to fall asleep in class. She sighed. Looking over the students around her she twitched her node then froze. In the back, three seats behind her sat Hinata. She blinked then whirled around. Holy crap! She shook her head, she had to be hallucinating! Looking back she bit back a groan to see that she was NOT hallucinating.
Looking around she muttered curses, she was the only one in the school and probably in Konoha with pink hair and green eyes. Hinata would know who she was automatically!
Looking around wildly she decided to bury her head in her arm and not look back.
The minute class ended she ran out of class and headed to her second class. While the teacher srated the lesson she thought feverishly of a way to make herself less recognizable. But to her distress no thought came up. Never before had she had this dilemma. Looking around she saw a sash, ideas came through her head, she grinned.
When the ball rung she tied the sash around her head so that it partially covered her hair. Grinning she walked into lunch. Maybe the sash wouldn't do much but it would certainly help her out a LITTLE.
Opening her bag of lunch she trailed over to a tree when suddenly she stupidly tripped and dumper her food onto a dark haired girl. Looking up Sakura could tell that the dark haired girl was NOT happy.
"This blouse cost me s fortune… and you ruined it!" The girl hissed. "I don't know who the hell you are but…. Give me that!" The girl took the remained of Sakura's lunch and held it over Sakura's head.
Immediately Sakura could tell what the girl was about to do, dump the remaining food over Sakura's head. "This will teach you not to mess with a powerful ninja like me!" The girl smirked.
But before anything could happen Sakura's hand swept up and grabbed the girl's wrist. With a snort Sakura snapped the girl's wrist back then flung her to the ground. Stomping her foot onto the girl's chest Sakura whispered angrily. "I was about to say sorry but with that stunt you just pulled I should be wiping the floor with you." Sakura breathed and slowly took her foot off of the girl's chest. "But I won't, cause your not worth it." Slowly she backed up, taking the remained of the food with her. "I'm pretty nice but if you mess with me.. you better be prepared to put your fists up cause I'm no push over!"
Turning Sakura walked off, leaving the girl and a gaping crowd behind her. Jumping into a tree nearby Sakura prepared to eat when, "Hey! That's our tree! Get off!" Sakura looked down to see to blonds and a crowd. One blond was a hyper boy with blue eyes, the other was a girl. Sakura sighed and muttered some things. Preparing to leap the girl interrupted her. "Did you hear me I said-"
"DAMN IT I HEARD YOU!" Sakura snapped, "And FYI.. but I'm moving now!" Sakura angrily jumped off the tree.
"And we hear you just fine to.." Sakura slowly turned to see who said that. And there she saw the guy from the bridge. The one who had bumped into her and called her annoying and told her to shut up.
Bristling she snapped, "Don't even start with me bastard! I still haven't gotten over the time where you bumped into me and when I tried to apologize you told me to shut up and then called me annoying!" She stomped off. Everyone watched her leave with wide eyes. Then they turned to look at the guy she snapped at.
The boy she snapped at surprised everyone by smirking. The blond boy gulped, "Erm.. Sasuke? You ok?"
"I'm fine dope."
The blond buy busted a vein, "DON'T CALL ME DOPE BATARD! I HAVE A NAME! IT'S NARUTO! TRY USING IT!"
Sasuke shrugged, "Try growing taller, than maybe I'll call you by your name." He turned and walked to the tree. Naruto ranted like a monkey behind him.
That night at work Sakura cooked a feart for her boss than spent the night cleaning the dishes. To her surprise Hinata brought her supper. She bowed, "Thank you…."
Hinata smiled and blushed slightly. "It was nothing." She bit her lip and watched Sakura eat. She really wanted to ask Sakura to be her friend but, wouoldn't Sakura just laugh? No strong noble asked servants for friendship but, she really wanted to be Sakura's friend. "Um… Sakura… may I ask you something?" Sakura's head popped up, she nodded. Hinata twiddled, "Well.. I um…w- would you.. please.. BE MY FRIEND!" Hinata slouched her head down and blushed.
Sakura watched her for a moment then stood up and hugged Hinata with a huge grin. "Like to? I'd love to!"
Hinata's head slowly came up, her eyes were wide like saucers. "You would?" She blinked stupidly as Sakura nodded. Hinata broke into a huge smile, "Thank you.."
Sakura nodded. And while she ate Hinata spoke without stuttering for the first time.
Just when Sakura finished eating Neji walked in. Without a word he nodded to Hinata and reached for some water. Sakura watched him and then sighed, reaching into the fridge she took some extra food and heated it up with a little chakra. Setting it down she grabbed the water from him and set it next to the plate. "Here.. eat." He watched her coldly, she frowned and wondered if it was asswhole day because she seemed to be wondering into jerks all day. "Look.. you're a ninja right? To be a ninja is to be fit and healthy. Right now your acting like an anorexic. I know you have to be hungry, you've had no food. So eat!" She grabbed a napkin and set it down to.
Hinata watched worriedly from the side, she knew that her cousin could act lethally when provoked or bossed around. She stood up, ready to say something or apologize on Sakura's behalf when her cousin did the oddest thing. He bowed a thank you then sat and ate.
As Sakura nodded and then waved goodbye and ran out the door, Hinata could only gape. Sitting down she stared at her cousin as if he had an extra head. He just looked at her and shrugged.
A/n: Ok.. maybe this would seem a bit short but.. sry. Anway in case your wondering this is Sakura centric. So Sakura will probably have a lot of different guys around her. In the end though it will be up to your vote. But mainly it would have to be around Gaara, Neji, Itachi, Naruto, or Sasuke. So please review and tell me what you think! Thax!
