The journey wasn't too long. Just a couple miles. Sakura still couldn't believe that when Matsuri moved, it really wasn't that far from the school. She guessed that people would probably expect to find her far away, so she moved close so they wouldn't find her. Sakura approached the end of the path. There was a naborhood. All the houses looked the same. That must have been another reason Matsuri moved there; so that if someone found out it was this nabor hood, they wouldn't know what house. Sakura could tell, but only because she knew the address. Usually, Sakura would just go through the back door, but sense this was more of a 'I'm sorry I didn't tell you I am going to your old high school that you swore I would never go to' visit, she decided to use the doorbell instead.
Ding-dong
Immediately, she heard footsteps rushing towards the door in quite a rush. The door opened to find a petite girl around Sakura's height, but a little shorter; with dirty blond hair and black eyes. She was wearing just some blue shorts and a purple tank top. She stared at Sakura with a mix of hate and sorrow in her eyes.
Sakura- I'm sorry, I should have told—
Then, Sakura was hugged immediately. Tears were flowing the blonde's cheeks as she embraced the pink haired girl. Sakura stood there with shock dripping from her eyes.
Sakura- Matsuri…
Sakura embraced Matsuri and returned her hug. They stayed like that for a couple minutes. When Matsuri released, she gestured Sakura to come in side. Sakura stepped into the house. It was average sized and decent. It was warm in there. Sakura stepped in to smell the sent of chi tea tickling her nose. Sakura smiled at the warm sent. Matsuri must have been expecting her, because she went into the kitchen and brought out a tray with tea and macaroons on it. Sakura and Matsuri sat on the couch. They each picked up a cup of the tea and began to sip it quietly. It was Sakura's favorite. Sakura looked down at the tea, wondering what to do. Matsuri did the same.
Matsuri- are they nice?
Sakura looked up at Matsuri with a confused expression. Matsuri still looked at her tea, already knowing that Sakura probably have no idea what she was talking about. Matsuri let a small smile escape her lips.
Matsuri- your new friends. My old friends. Are they nice?
Sakura smiled at her with a calm expression. Now she understood. She wanted to know if Ino, Tenten, Temari, Neji, Kankuro, Naruto, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Kiba, and Hinata were doing ok. Sakura couldn't blame her. She lost contact with them a while ago.
Sakura- yea… they are.
Sakura began to explain her first day and how everyone was so kind. She explained how Naruto hit on her, and how Sasuke went all sassy at Anko, and how Naruto just slept, and all of her day, except the bad parts. Matsuri was laughing as she pictured all these things; Sakura was grinning, glad she could make Matsuri laugh.
Matsuri- **lol** no way! So, Tenten and Kankuro are FINALLY together?!
Sakura- **giggle** yea! It's so cute!
Matsuri- waaaaaaa, I wonder how Neji is taking this all in?
Sakura- eh? What do you mean? I'm sure Neji's fine with it! Its not like he likes Tenten or something **lol**
Matsuri stopped laughing, but was still smiling. Sakura looked at her with a shocked expression. OMS (A/N: I DON'T SAY 'OMN' I SAY 'OMS' WHICH MEANS OH MY SASUKE, BECAUSE TO ME, SASUKE IS GOD XDDDDD) no way!
Sakura- SERIOUSLY?! NEJI LIKES TENTEN?!
Matsuri nodded and let out a giggle, seeing Sakura make shocked faces amused her greatly. Sakura smiled and let out a laugh/ cough she was speechless.
Matsuri- yea, its true.
Sakura's smile dropped soon after. Time to move on to the bad parts of the high school.
Sakura- so uh… I never told you… I'm taking chemistry…
Matsuri sipped her tea and then smiled.
Sakura- and my teacher is… um… Orochimaru…
Matsuri spit her tea out and looked like she was about to strangle someone. Matsuri looked at Sakura with a mix of shock and fear.
Matsuri- YOU HAVE TO GET OUT!!
Sakura- but I don't know if I ca—
Matsuri- YOU HAVE TO!! Transfer out, tell a counselor, switch courses, I don't care just GET OUT! You know what happened to me!
Matsuri was almost in tears. Remembering what had happened and what she had to do wasn't something she wanted to think about. Sakura looked down. Just thinking about what Matsuri went though was enough to make her tear up.
Sakura- I'll try…
Matsuri nodded and changed the subject. Sakura's visit was short and pleasant. Sakura thanked Matsuri for the tea and then left for her house. Matsuri insisted to walked with Sakura to her house so she did. While they were walking in a pleasant silent, Matsuri started a conversation.
Matsuri- so… I started school today too…
Sakura's eyes widened in surprise. She had totally forgotten about Matsuri's school/ her old school.
Sakura- how is everyone?
Matsuri- they wondered where you were…
Sakura- oh…
Matsuri- they all miss you..
Sakura- I miss them too…
Matsuri- especially Gaara…
Sakura looked up in shock. She wasn't expecting her ex boyfriend to miss her at all; in fact, she thought he would think good riddance!
Sakura- Waa?!
Matsuri- he wants to get back together with you… he's over Clair, and Lizzie moved to a boarding school.
Sakura's eyes widened an inch. Great… Now he likes her. Sakura smiled and looked down.
Sakura- I can't go back.
Matsuri- why not?! You love it there! It's where all of your friends are! Its… It's… your home…
Sakura- I have a new home now…
Matsuri- it's not too late! Really! We miss you Sakura… so much… please… come back…
Sakura stopped in her footsteps and turned towards Matsuri. She could see she was on another brink of tears. Sakura gave her a comforting smile and put her hand on Matsuri's shoulder.
Sakura- I can't. that school didn't teach me a lot and didn't challenge me enough. I need to move on. I need a new beginning. I need… to go to this school.
Matsuri smiled a little. She was right. The school that Matsuri went to were for people who mostly had social problems. That explained why there was always so much drama there. It was true that at first Sakura wanted to go back because she would miss everyone so much, but she knew that if she stayed at that school, she would have no future as a medical ninja. That had been her dream ever sense she was a little girl. Of course, her parents supported her, what parent wouldn't want their child to grow up to be a successful doctor?
Matsuri- we'll miss you…
Sakura- I'll miss you too…
Matsuri and Sakura hugged knowing that they wouldn't be able to see each other for a while. The change in schools were going to be difficult, but even so Sakura wanted to stay close to Matsuri.
Matsuri- hey Sakura? Will you do me a favor?
Sakura- sure! Anything!
Matsuri- will you… forget about me?
****
Dark. Cold. Anger. Sadness. Hurt. Heart broken. Fear. They swept over Sakura like a gust of wind sweeping over a warm field, and turning it to ice. Frozen. Dead. Groggy. Foggy. All things she felt. How could she say something like that? She was her best friend… how could she… forget about her? Just like that? A hot tear strolled down Sakura's right cheek and landed on the sidewalk.
Sakura- w-w-what?
Matsuri- I don't want to interfere with you at that school. I want nothing to do with that school. You know what happened there to me, and you now know who caused it.
Sakura- I'm not you I—
Matsuri- your right, your not me, and you didn't know me when I was at that school. I was a monster… I was a slut… I was…
Sakura- DON'T SAY THAT! You were none of those things! I know it! You were lost and confused! I understand what happened to you there has changed your life and has permanently damaged your self-confidence, but don't you think your taking this a bit far?!
Matsuri- I just want you to be happy, and if forgetting me is one way, then I'll take it.
Sakura- there are other ways to make me happy, and making me forget you is not a way. Don't worry. I'll be fine.
Matsuri- …are you sure you don't want to come back?
Sakura- yea… I'm sure…
They were at the foot of Sakura's house now. It was starting to get dark. The sun was setting into a beautiful orange glow. Sakura hugged Matsuri for the last time, for she knew she wouldn't see her best friend for a while, and stepped onto her front porch. Matsuri watched her as she walked up to her door and walked in. once she was inside, Matsuri started walking away. Once she was about a block away, a voice came from behind her. One that she knew too well.
???- Matsuri?!
Matsuri turned around to see a boy wearing black trip pants with chains and zippers and a shirt that was black and tight, but had vest over it that were just like his pants, black with silver zippers and chains. There were hoops like sleeved that bagged down on his upper arm. His shoes were black, silver, and navy blue. His eyes were black with a hint of red, almost like a welcoming dark blood crimson. His hair spiked up like a parakeet, with strands of hair in his face. His hair was a navy blue, almost black. He seemed out of breath like he had just run for his life. Matsuri was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Sasuke- so it is you…
Matsuri made a run for it. She ran and ran, using all of her muscles. Sasuke ran after her. He knew he couldn't catch her, she had been on the track team sense she knew how to run. But he tried. She got too ahead of him at one point and ran a corner. When Sasuke turned the corner, she was out of sight. She practically disappeared. Sasuke banged his fist on a wooden fence out of anger. 'It happened again' he thought 'she ran away and there was nothing I could do!'
-------------------------------
Kankuro licked Tenten's lips, only begging for permission. She gladly obliged. He explored her warm cavern as Tenten met his tongue and wrapped and unwrapped it with her own.
Knock! Knock!
There was a knock at Tenten's door.
Tenten-'Grar! Can't they just leave us al—oh gawds'
Kankuro grabbed a hold of her boob and squeezed into his firm hands. Even though they were both fully clothed, Kankuro already felt Tenten getting warm in her chore.
Kankuro- 'man, horny already Ten?'
Kankuro smirked into the kiss. Tenten could only moan in pleasure.
Knock! Knock!
Kankuro released from the kiss, very irritated. Tenten pouted at the unexpected interruption. After school, Kankuro decided to go over to Tenten's house, and Tenten couldn't have been more happier to say yes. Tenten got up from Kankuro's lap and walked towards the door. There was another knock.
Tenten- ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'M COMING DAMNIT!
Tenten walked over to the door and slowly pulled it open. She had a confused look on her face when she saw Neji Hyuga standing in the doorway. She was about to say something but Neji beat her to it.
Neji- you wanted math tutoring?
Tenten- oh! Whoa! I completely forgot! Um… well… can you come back another time, see, I have to clean and—
Kankuro- SHE'S NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT EVER YOU'RE SELLING!!!
Neji raised an eyebrow at Tenten as Tenten winced when Kankuro decided to yell. Neji looked to the side to see Kankuro sitting on Tenten's sofa looking quite pissed off.
Kankuro- oh its just Neji… do fucking you mind Hyuga?
Neji observed Tenten's ruffled hair and messy clothes. He met her eyes again. Great. He had just proved that she was a slut and she was giving him the puppy dog pout? Neji looked back at Kankuro, his hair was a mess as well, and he currently wasn't wearing a shirt, reveling his toned muscled torso. His jeans were sagging so you could see his boxers as well. They were dark purple. Neji looked back at Tenten.
Neji- sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you.
And Neji walked off. Tenten shrugged, it was just natural for him to be like that. She closed the door and walked back over to Kankuro.
Tenten- now, where were we?
----------
Ino sat with Hinata in Hinata's living room flipping through channels on her big screen TV. they were BOOOOOORED!!!!
Bleach
D-Gray Man
Naruto (they get 'wtf' expressions on their face)
Shugo Chara
Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch—
Ino- OOOO! I LOVE THIS SHO—
Hinata- no.
Ino- WELL WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST WE WATCH THEN?
Hinata- I don't know… I've already seen all these episodes…
Ino- give me the remote!
Ino snatched the remote from Hinata. Hinata pouted and curled up into a little ball. She was facing the TV. but clearly, she was deep in thought. Ino decided on Death Note. She looked over at Hinata to see if she was satisfied with this show, but saw that something was troubling her.
Ino- Hinata? What's wrong? You seem troubled… every thing o—
Hinata- do you think Light is too knowledgeable?
Ino- huh?
Hinata- in Death Note. Do you think Light is too knowledgeable? He knows a lot about L, but he doesn't know what is real name is and plots against him. L knows everything, but doesn't know that Kira is right in front of him and has been deceiving him this whole time. He trusts Light… but Light just acts like a friend so that he can get close to L and kill him. do you think L is naïve for trusting him? is he a fool?
Ino smiled. Now she got it.
Ino- no. L's not a fool or naïve, he is misunderstood.
Hinata took that in and thought about those words. Ino smiled at her wise words flipped the channel back to Kirarin Revolution. Hinata smiled.
Hinata- do you think Light is forgiving?
Ino- no, but I think Sakura is L.
Hinata blushed and looked back at the show. Tomorrow she would apologize to Sakura for acting so rood and give her a small present. Hm, but what to get her?
Hinata- you wana go to the mall?
Ino smiled a wide grin. Finally something to do! They went to the mall and walked into the large building. They walked into Sanrio Surprise where they got Sakura a little Pucchuco key chain. They also got her some gum and candy with a couple of pencils and two blue and purple gel pins. They walked past the large fountain in the middle of the mall where there was a group of kids, their age.
One of the kids was tall and had grey hair; he was tall and skinny he had baggy pants and a camo shirt on. His hair went down to his shoulders, it looked soft actually. Another guy was tan and well built, his hair was brown and was up in a ponytail and… wait, does he have six arms?! The last guy was a red haired shorty. Wait? What that Temari's youngest brother Gaara?! Ino and Hinata approached the guys, well mostly Gaara. Gaara looked up and grunted as he saw them approach him.
Gaara- what do you want?
Ino- well, if I didn't know any better, I would saw SOME ONES not doing their homework. Does Temari know you're here?
Gaara- does she care?
Hinata- y-yes!
Grey hair boy- oi! Gaara, who are they? And are they single?
Six arm boy- I CALL THE BLONDE!
Ino almost puked. Hinata didn't blush, but all the color drained from her face like she was about to be sick.
Ino- we're Gaara's sister's friends.
Grey haired guy- do you have names?
Ino- Ino
Hinata- H-Hinata.
Gaara- Kidomaru, Sakon, stop. Now what do you want?
Ino- we were picking up things and just ran into you.
Kidomaru- would one of those things happen to be a condom?
Ino- what the fuck, no. Your ugly and what is up with your arms!? You look more like you should be in a circus instead of at a mall, let alone public.
Kidomaru- bitch.
Ino- dick—oooo, sorry you don't have one.
Kidomaru- Ouch. That kinda stung. Mind kissing it to make it better?
Ino- sorry, I don't like transvestites.
Gaara- that's enough! Kidomaru, Sakon! Stop!
The guys looked at Gaara who was giving them a death glare. They looked back at the girls and then grunted.
Sakon- don't think we're done here.
Hinata and Ino rolled their eyes and just left. The guys glared at them as they left. Ino and Hinata signed their names on the poka-doted bag that they got with the gifts and headed back to Hinata's house in her blue prius. Once they got there, they saw that Neji had come home because they saw his dark grey porch in the driveway. Once Hinata and Ino got home they decided to see what was up with Neji sense there was nothing better to do because it was too cold to go swimming, they had finished their homework, and there was nothing on TV. They made their way up to Neji's room.
They knocked on the door. There was no answer. They knocked again. Nothing. They walked in his room, but didn't see any one. Just then, they heard something from the closet. It sounded muffled. Ino and Hinata thought that he was just talking to someone in private. They put their ears close to the door. It sounded like talking, maybe Naruto? Or Sasuke? Maybe Kiba?
Ino-(whisper) we'll jump him on the count of three!
Hinata nodded. Ino held up her hand one…two…THREE!! They burst in and gasped. Neji was curled up into a ball, he looked up at them looking EXTREMELY pissed. His teeth were clinched and…wait!...where those tears?!?!?!
Hinata- Neji!?
Ino- what happened?!
They ran over to Neji as he put his head back down on his forearms. Hinata rubbed his back and Ino combed his long black silky hair with her hand. They had met Ino when they were in fourth grade. She had just transferred there and on the first day she made Hinata cry for being too quiet, it bugged her.
Neji- I'm so stupid!
He muttered under his breath as they warmed up to him. The whispered soft words to him and told him that everything going to be alright.
Ino- no, your not. Now what happened?
She said in a soft voice.
Neji- Tenten and Kankuro happened.
Hinata- huh? Aren't you happy for them?
Neji- are you stupid to Hinata? I love Tenten.
Hinata and Ino were so shocked. They didn't know what to say. Ino forgot to breath, Hinata just held it. Never once has the Hyuga ever shown interest in a girl. Not when they were in the mall, not when they were in school, and not once has he EVER been caught with a playboy magazine; infact, sometimes Hinata wondered if he had ever had an erection. Neji's throat swelled up and it felt like a sharp kunai was pinching the inside of his esophagus and he could barley breath. He hasn't cried sense his father died when he was younger. When his father died, he thought that all his tears had dried up, sense he was the closest person to him ever. But now he could see, that Tenten had filled that gap and had been taken away just as quickly as his father was.
Ino- no… way…
Neji- I have ever sense 5th grade.
Hinata- why didn't you tell anyone?!
Neji- I did. I told Naruto, Kiba, Kankuro, Shikamaru, and Sasuke.
Ino- Naruto kept a secret?
Hinata- there's a first.
Ino- and Kankuro knew?
Neji- yes.
Hinata hugged him. Neji was stunned, he hadn't been hugged sense his father died when he was three. He wrapped his arms around Hinata in return, Ino wrapped her arms around both of them, and then Hinata whispered
Hinata- I'll talk to her.
Neji- don't… I just want her to be happy.
Ino- she won't be happy with Kankuro for long, we just have to get her to realize that Kankuro only wants her for her body, he doesn't really care about her as a person.
Neji nodded. It was true. Ever sense Temari and Kankuro moved to that school, Kankuro has been nothing but a pervert and Temari has been nothing but attitude. Neji looked at Hinata and Ino—no, his friends. Ino decided to sleep over. Neji still wasn't over the shock that people had just witnessed him crying. They watched movies and played video games all night. They drank monster to give them energy. They had already done their homework and there were no tests tomorrow. Hinata and Ino stayed with Neji that whole night. Telling him, he wasn't alone. Proving it to him. And making sure, he knew that.
------------
Naruto came home from school, that day into the empty apartment that he grew up in. 'Iruka must still be in the teacher conference.' He thought. It was a nice apartment, it was a two-story apartment room. Naruto referred to it as the 'loft'. It just sounded better. The upstairs was mainly his. The down stairs was shared by him and Iruka.
He was in 3rd grade when Iruka moved in. he was the closest thing besides Sasuke to a family. Sasuke is his best friend. They have been best friends sense they first met. Naruto even remembers how they meet: Naruto was counting his Pokémon cards in a nice pile, then Sasuke came up behind him and asked if he wanted to battle. Naruto excepted but made a bet: if Naruto won, then Sasuke would have to give him his gummy worms, and if Sasuke won, Naruto would have to be his friend. Sasuke won of course, but Naruto lost on purpose. He had never had a friend and he wanted to have at least one. So he lost. For a friend.
Naruto made his way up the stairs and into the room where the flat screen TV. is. When his parents died when he was born, all the money went to him, and for some reason, that was A LOT. Naruto didn't know his parents, nor does he know who they are; but it didn't matter to him. what's in the past is in the past, and we shouldn't dwell on something we can never change. Besides. He was happy living this simple life. He had the nine tailed fox in him, and all the civilians hated him, but it didn't matter to him, as long as he was with the people that he loved, he would be ok. He set his backpack down in his room and started to work. Just then, his cell phone rang. It was Sasuke.
Naruto- HEY! Sasuke! What's up?
Sasuke- I saw Matsuri, she's around here somewhere.
Naruto- no way! I'll look out for her.
Sasuke- alright. See ya.
Naruto- bye Teamy!!!!! :D
The next day at school was different. No one could put their finger on it, but something seemed off. Tenten, Hinata, Ino, Kankuro, and Neji all rode the Hyuga limo. Car pull was easier sense they lived pretty close, but for a limo, it seemed pretty cramped. Tenten seemed EXHAUSTED and so did Kankuro. Hm… what could they have been doing last night? Neji was supposable 'reading a magazine' but really, he was glaring at Kankuro and Tenten as they 'played around'. Ino and Hinata were watching Neji intently waiting for him to pounce and for them to drag him off. Just then, on the road, they saw a girl wearing blue jeans and a cute read dressy-shirt with a white shirt underneath and walked in high-healed sandals with a star necklace hanging loosely around her neck. What gave her away though, wasn't the clothes though, it was the pink hair that bounced up and down with every step she took. With a clip, holding her long bangs off to the side.
Neji- chives, can you please pull over for a second?
They limo stopped off to the side of the road where Sakura was. Sakura looked at it with aw. She wondered who was in it. The window rolled down to reveal Neji.
Sakura- good morning Neji! I didn't know you road a limo to school… that's pretty nice.
Neji- yea, would you like us to give you a ride?
Sakura looked to the side of Neji's head to see that the Limo was very much packed. She saw everyone and decided that if she were to get it, she, and everyone else would be practically squished.
Sakura- no thanks, its just such a nice morning out, I think I'll walk.
Neji- alright, see you in a few minutes.
Sakura nodded and watched as the Limo drove off. She sighed. School wasn't for another few miles. It wasn't much for ninjas, but still, she did have to walk there. She has parents, but they are constantly out on missions. In fact, the reason why she is there and not anywhere else, is because her godmother, the principle Tsunade, was her godmother and the principle, so she could look after her. Tsunade said that she would take care of Sakura for the school year while her parents go on a top secret mission to gods know where. Tsunade always wakes up at four A.M. and Sakura sleeps in until seven, so she walked to school instead of driving with Tsunade.
Her feet started to hurt in these painfully cute sandals. She cursed the fashion gods for making such traps. Just then, a black care pulled up beside her. Sakura's eyes widened. It was a Ferrari. It was so clean and sparkly. The passenger seat window slid down. Sasuke?!
Sasuke- hey Sakura, need a ride?
Sakura looked inside the backseat windows. No one was there and her feet were killing her. She looked back at Sasuke and smiled.
Sakura- sure!
She climbed into the amazing sports car and they drove off. Sakura was so busy focusing on her feet, that she didn't see who was driving. She looked to the side of Sasuke's head and saw a very handsome man. He was wearing shirt that was from a metal band no doubt, and skinny jeans with black skater shoes. His hair was different from Sasuke's. it was more black than blue and much longer. But his bangs were the same. His face features were surprisingly similar to Sasuke's, except his eyes. they were a dark crimson red with black dots and pupils. Sakura stared at the handsome man until he noticed, or finely got annoyed of, her staring at him.
Sakura- Sasuke, who's this?
Sasuke- huh? Oh, this is unfortunately my brother, Itachi. Itachi, this is Sakura.
Itachi- ah, is this the girl you couldn't shut up about last night?
Sasuke- WHAT THE HELL?! I DIDN'T EVEN MINCHIN HER LAST—oh what ever. Itachi is probably the master of mind fuck. He will literally rape your brain.
Itachi- hm? Is this the girl you kept moaning the name up in your sleep? I was wondering who would be so pretty enough to actually make you masturbate.
Sasuke- THAT'S IT!!!!!! I DID NO SUCH THING AND I NEVER WILL!!!!
Sakura- ouch.
Sasuke- NO! I didn't mean it like that—I—he… forget it…
Itachi smirked and Sakura giggled. Raping Sasuke's mind was fun :D. they soon got to school within five minutes. Sakura thanked Itachi for the ride and she and Sasuke walked in.
Oh, people talked when they saw that sight. Sakura, the new girl, and Sasuke, the boy girls dreamed of. Sakura looked at Sasuke nervously, but he was apathetic and seemed to not care… on the outside that is. I guess he was use to these kinds of things; but Sakura wasn't sure, so she asked.
Sakura- are you ok… with them talking about us like that?
Sasuke- hn, they can think what they want.
Sakura- o-ok… if you say its ok…
Sasuke- if I say its ok?
Sakura- well yea, I don't mind that much… I mean, I just didn't know if you did and…
Sasuke- Sakura, you have never been to a school like this so I'll tell you how this works. If you are a new student, then your going to want to build up your reputation; most people here have known each other sense they were in seventh grade, so there's no need to create a new reputation sense people already know what their like. You need to create a status. You hang out with us, which is good, but you might want to talk to other classmates and get to know them better.
Sakura- wow… that's a lot of information… um… ok… well, what are the rest of you guys's statuses.
Sasuke- Temari is the one girl with the attitude, Ino is the one that knows everything about everyone, Hinata is the one that can keep secrets and you can conform to, Tenten is the one the dreamer, Kiba is the animal lover, Kankuro is the pervert, Shikamaru is the lazy ass, Neji is the smart one that's a tutor, and Naruto is the playboy.
Sakura- what about you?
Sasuke- hn. Mines the uh…
Sakura- come on, just say it!
Sasuke-…the 'perfect' one.
Sakura looked at Sasuke like he was mad. Perfect? Yea right (A/N: OOOO, SASUKE IS SOOOO PERFECT AND—HEY LOOK A PING PONG PADDLE :O) she had a muffled laugh. Sasuke stared at her with apathetic eyes. Sasuke rolled his eyes and explained.
Sasuke- see, I'm good at everything and most of the girls in the school want me. So boys refer to me as 'the perfect one'… its pathetic.
Sakura- well, to me, your not perfect. I can see a lot of your flaws. But, you are very smart and wise, but sense your so droopy most of the time, but not ALL emo; I think of you more as more of a 'scene kid'. So to me, that's you're reputation in my eyes; a scene kid.
Sasuke's eyes widened. No one has ever told him that before. Naruto's complained about how his name makes no sense, but no ones ever changed it. He looked at Sakura in amazement as she smiled a wide grin. His heart tingled a bit, as if it was healing. It was a warm, nice feeling. She was something else.
They walked over to where their groups were and split up; Sakura going with the girls, and Sasuke going with the guys.
with the guys
Naruto- why did you come here with Sakura?
Sasuke- I gave her a ride.
Neji- that doesn't sound likely; I offered her a ride and she declined.
Sasuke- well maybe she didn't want to ride with you or something…
Shikamaru- or maybe Sasuke got himself a girlfriend for once.
Naruto and Sasuke tensed up. That defiantly wasn't the case. Kiba smirked at the obvious reaction. He knew that Sasuke didn't like Sakura like that. It was more of a older brother kind of feeling. But what he didn't know was why Sasuke was acting so kind to her. He hasn't acted this kind towards a girl sense he first met Ino in fourth grade. Kiba wondered…
Kiba- do you like her like that?
Sasuke-…no… I like her more like the younger sibling I never had—or, got to have…
Kiba- you can't blame your self for you parents deaths forever.
Sasuke- I know…
Naruto- aw, cheer up Sasuke-teme! Things will look up!
Sasuke smirked at Naruto. Naruto was never one to look at the negatives around him. He never seamed down in front of anyone. But Sasuke knew that wasn't the case. Sasuke had known Naruto ever sense they were three, and he knows well enough by now, that Naruto just puts on a brave and strong face. Naruto really feels lonely and depressed, like something is eating at him heart and making it ach like it was just stabbed. He has only showed his real face to Sasuke and Kiba.
Once when they were younger Naruto told them about how he was born alone, how is mother died giving birth to him, and his father died sealing the fox inside of him. He blamed himself for it all. He said that it was he who was born, it was he who is the tailed fox container, and it is he who caused everyone pain and suffering in the village.
Kiba and Sasuke are the only ones to see Naruto without that warm mask he wears. The boys continued with their conversations, but then they realized there weren't any 'that's what she said' jokes after PERFECT opportunities, and then they realized that Kankuro wasn't there. They looked over to the girls and didn't see a Tenten either. Great. Just what they needed.
what happened with the girls
Sakura- hey guys.
Hinata- good morning Sakura.
Sakura- g-g-good morning Hinata!?
Temari- so… you and Sasuke eh?
Sakura- huh? No, it's not like that at all!
Temari- then how is it? Eh?
Sakura- its like a brother and a sister sorta thing… hey, where's Tenten?
Ino- I saw her with Kankuro… I don't wana know that much….
Sakura- are they always like that?
Hinata- actually, they just got together yesterday.
Sakura- whoa! Really?! They seem to be going pretty fast to me…
Temari- they'll know when to stop. Well… Tenten at least will…
Sakura- Ino? You OK? You've been pretty quiet this morning… everything OK?
Ino- yea… I'm always quiet in the mornings.
Temari- no… your not. Now what's wrong.
Ino looked at Hinata. She had the same worried look on her face. They were worried for Tenten; they knew that Kankuro would go all the way if he had the chance. Hinata bit her index finger, hoping to extract some of her anger and worry. She wasn't scared, she had known Tenten all her life; but that didn't mean that Tenten wouldn't go all the way with Kankuro if she had the chance.
They had a hard time trusting Kankuro because he has been a horny bastard ever sense they met him. Temari was probably they one most worried because he was her brother and she knew that he HAS tried to have a one night stand and take advantage of girls when their drunk. But Tenten was a different story because she has never dome alcohol or drugs and she certainly hasn't lost her virginity yet; but even though she was strong on the outside, she was still fairly pliant on her morals and that's what worried them.
Sakura- maybe we should go check on them…
Temari- I'm sure she's fine. She doesn't need us to watch over her and tell her what to do. She can live her own life.
Just then, Ino looked up and waved. They saw Tenten walking towards them. She was carrying her small backpack on her back and waved back. Her cheeks were flushed and if they weren't mistaken, WAS THAT A HICKY ON HER NECK?!?! Ino stopped waving when she saw that. Her eyes widened in shock. Temari's eyes widened in disbelief. Hinata couldn't even look at that sickening image. Sakura's had turned and watched everyone in horror as she was experiencing as what she realized what was happening. This couldn't be happening. Not again.
