Chapter 3: Friends...?
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"H-Hey Neji-n-niisan d-do you think y-you could h-help me find m-my f-friend S-Sakura? She's a t-transfer s-student and she's p-probably l-lost…" Hinata walked beside her cousin. Neji has dark chocolate hair that reached his back, but it was kept in a low ponytail. Neji's eyes were also a pale lavender color.
"All right Hinata, but can you tell me what color her hair is or her eyes so we can spot her out," Neji's voice deep and when he spoke it sounded calm and collected.
"O-Oh! That p-part is easy! S-She has short p-pink hair and g-green eyes…y-you know her f-features remind m-me of a f-flower," Hinata replied cheerfully.
"You seem to have taken a liking to this Sakura girl…" Neji just looked at his shy cousin from the corner of his eye.
"Y-Yeah…she's really f-friendly…a-and I w-want her to be m-my friend you know…" Hinata started to fiddle with her fingers as she spoke quietly to her cousin. Neji's eyes softened slightly as he listened to his cousin.
"So you think this Sakura can be a…true friend to you…not like all those others?" Neji's voice became quiet as he spoke to Hinata, as those words came out of his mouth he noticed how his cousin became rigid.
"I-I'm hoping s-she'll be m-my first true f-friend…e-ever since I-I was l-little p-people only w-wanted to befriend me b-because o-of o-our clans r-riches…" Hinata's voice cracked a bit as she whispered her words.
"Don't worry Hinata…I'm sure Sakura won't be like that," Even though Neji's voice sounded calm and not caring…Hinata still smiled because she could sense her cousins slight concern for her.
'I hope…' thought Neji as he walked beside Hinata.
"Ah! S-Sakura-chan! N-Neji h-help her!" Hinata let out a shriek as she witnessed her new friend being harshly thrown against the lockers near the cafeteria.
As soon as Neji spotted Sakura he immediately ran towards her but he could already see the guy pulling back his fist…
'Crap! I won't make it in time! Wait…unless I do that…no that's embarrassing! I can't! But I have to…' Neji was actually struggling with this. It's actually quite funny…
Neji took another look at Sakura and all he saw was the guy's fist moving towards her in slow motion.
'Pride or Sakura's face, pride or Sakura's face…'
"N-Neji-niisan! Hurry!"
'Ugh! Damnit' was all Neji thought of before he did that…
Ooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Ooooooooooooo
'Oh god I'm going to get a black eye! And it aint gonna be pretty!' Sakura's thoughts were racing…she could see the guys fist coming towards her in slow motion. Why is it always in slow motion!
'Here it comes…AH!' Sakura watched as the guy's fist was only inches from her face…and then that's when it happened…
A shoe was flying in the air and KAPOW! It hit the guy square in the face…yep that really happened.
Sakura just stared at the twitching guy on the floor…she couldn't help but laugh her guts out…she was laughing so hard that tears were almost forming in her emerald orbs.
'Shit that was hilarious! I know it saved my face but c'mon! Taken down by a shoe?! Classic! Hahaha!' While Sakura laughed her ass off she heard someone clear their throat…Sakura immediately stopped laughing and made a frightened face.
"I think you owe me a thank you," Neji just stood there looming over Sakura.
"You know you don't look very intimidating after your little shoe act…" Sakura's eyes widened as she realized what she had just said…Neji's vain started throbbing…big time.
"I-I mean oh thank you! Thank you so much!" Sakura rubbed the back of her head sheepishly as she watch the one shoed boy in front of her glare at her.
"H-hey niisan h-here's y-your s-shoe…Haha I-I r-remember the f-first time you d-did that in-"
"Hinata! Your not helping!" Neji cut off his cousin before grabbing his shoe from her and walking away. Neji walked away from the two girls with a frustrated blush staining his cheeks.
'Well…there goes my reputation' Neji just scowled and kept on walking…
"Hey Hinata was that your brother?" Sakura asked politely in her quiet voice.
"O-Oh…well h-he's actually m-my cousin b-but he l-lives with m-me…his name is Neji Hyuuga, we have the same last name," Hinata lead Sakura to the cafeteria.
"Oh wait…your last name is hyuuga…whoa you're the heiress aren't you!" Sakura has heard about the hyuuga family from Tsunade but she has never actually properly met one. Apparently they're quite known in Konoha, Iwa, and Suna…etc. Now that Sakura thinks about it…she's actually done 1 or 2 missions for Hinata's father.
"…Y-You know? I s-see…" Hinata adverted her eyes to the ground…she didn't want Sakura to know about her family…she just wanted a true friend and now…Sakura will probably only be her friend for the money…Hinata's cheery mood was gone and replaced with sadness.
'Huh?! Why is she sad all of a sudden?!' Sakura started to panic.
"Hinata-chan…what's wrong?" Sakura's quiet voice just seemed to make Hinata even sadder.
"I-It's just that…now that you know about me you just want to be my friend for my money!" Hinata snapped. Sakura was quite shocked about the whole thing she was really confused. She was also shocked that Hinata didn't stutter.
'Aw man! Just what I needed to complete my wonderful first day of school…Drama' Sakura was getting a bit annoyed but pushed those thoughts away. Sakura saw that Hinata was about to cry so Sakura did the only thing came into her mind.
Sakura just gently hugged Hinata. At first Hinata was surprised but once her surprise faded she just cried quietly into Sakura's vest.
"You know…I'll tell you a secret…I've only really had two friends in my whole life and they mean the world to me…Friendship isn't something that just comes to me…but I can assure you that I don't care how much money you have, or the fact that you're a hyuuga. To me you are Hinata…my friend," Sakura's eyes were distant as she spoke…Hinata also noticed that when Sakura spoke it wasn't her quiet voce that came out…it was the voice of a stronger person. It confused Hinata.
It was official…Hinata became Sakura's new friend…
'What have I done…' Sakura's thoughts were filled with her new friendship. Sakura thought of all the bad scenarios that included Hinata if her enemies ever found out her identity.
'No, I want Hinata as my friend…and if anyone tries to harm my friends…then their going to have to get through me first' Sakura let a smirk play on her lips as she finally accepted the fact that she got a new friend.
Ooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Ooooooooooooo
When the school bell rang, signaling home time, Sakura quickly bid her goodbyes to Hinata and Made her way towards the forest where she left her bike.
After Sakura disabled the bombs she got on her bike…but before she started the engine she started thinking for a bit.
'Since I'm one of the only few people who wears a vest in this school…then they'd know it's me riding this motorbike…'
Sakura then took off her vest, leaving only her white school blouse, and put it in her messenger bag. Once that was done Sakura started her bike and made her way home. But on the way home she could see Naruto and Sasuke crossing the road, Sakura then came up with an evil plan. Naruto made it across the road and was now screaming for Sasuke to hurry up…Sakura revved her motorbike.
She sped towards Sasuke…
Ooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Ooooooooooooo
'Is is just me or do I hear a motorbike coming?' Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted when he turned his head only to see a mad woman on a motorbike speeding towards him.
"Oh crap," Sasuke then jumped out of the way only to land harshly on his butt.
"TAKE THAT ASSHOLE!" Was all Sasuke heard before the motorbike disappeared behind the next corner?
"Wow, who'd you piss off this time Teme," Naruto was just laughing his ass off at the still-in-shock Uchiha who just stayed sitting on the ground.
"Naruto…shut up,"
Ooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Ooooooooooooo
'Paybacks a bitch aint it sasuke!' Sakura was grinning inside her helmet.
When Sakura got home she immediately went straight into Tsunade's medicine room. Sakura looked for her special home made cream but was having a bit of trouble finding it.
"Ne Sakura-chan what are you looking for?" Sakura stifled the urge to jump in surprise when Tsunade came out of nowhere.
"Just my medicine cream-" And that's when Tsunade saw a bruise that was being covered by Sakura's pink locks.
"Holy shit! Where did you get that massive bruise on the back of your neck?!" Tsunade quickly walked towards Sakura and lifted the surprised teenager onto her shoulder. Tsunade headed towards the couch in the living room.
"You know I aint a sack of potatoes!" Sakura tried to get out of her shishou's grasp but it didn't work
Tsunade then laid Sakura on the couch, on her stomach, and then Tsunade brushed away Sakura's hair only to find a big ugly bruise.
"Hey Sakura where did you get this?" Tsunade's voice turned serious.
"Ehehe…well you see I was minding my own business and trying to act like a nerd so I wouldn't be noticed…but the complete opposite happened…apparently people like to hurt the nerds at school…and if I did anything about it I would risk exposure to myself," Sakura winced when Tsunade applied the cream.
This type of cream was specially made for bruises…but it adds pressure to make the healing process quicker…and it hurts like a bitch.
"Oh and Shishou…Ehehe…do you think you can do the one on my back too?" Sakura watched as Tsunade's eyes widened and Tsunade immediately helped Sakura take off her blouse only leaving her bra.
"Holy mother of pearl! Are you serious! Geez Sakura! Next time try to avoid getting beat up! And take your medical bag with you everyday from no on young lady!" Tsunade was shocked when she found a bruise the size of a bowl on her apprentices back.
"Yeah, yeah…oh! Hey my homeroom teacher, Kakashi-sensei, seems familiar to me…it's like I've seen him somewhere before oh and I saw Shizune-neechan there too," Sakura put on her blouse after Tsunade was finished.
"Yeah I assigned her that mission…but this Kakashi I know him and I know where you've seen him…but I aint 'tellin yah," Tsunade smiled wickedly as Sakura's jaw dropped in disbelief.
"Why won't you tell me? You know it's gonna bug me until I find out the answer!" Sakura tried her best to get Tsunade to spill but she was a tough nut to crack.
"Go find out yourself, Oh and I want you to train for 1 hour today…then you'll help me stitch up an ANBU squad who fell into one of Orochimaru's explosive traps, it seems that the snake bastard is in Konoha…" Tsunade lead Sakura to the backyard once she finished telling Sakura what to do.
"I see…Hey! When did we get our own training grounds?" Sakura stared in awe at their huge backyard; there were really tall fences surround the area so neighbours won't see anything, even though they don't have a lot of neighbours. She also noticed that there was a forest a few meters behind her backyard.
"Well I set it up while you were at school…now I want all 30 wooden training dolls broken by the time I get back and you may only use your legs today, since you mostly use your fists all the time. Oh and you can only use less then half of your monstrous strength," Tsunade explained as she motioned to a three rows of wooden training dolls.
"Aw and I wanted smash something…your no fun…but I guess I'm lucky I learned your insane strength…anyway fine piece of cake,"
"Oh but Sakura darling these training dummies are a special type of wood, when I was your age and when my teacher made me do the same thing I only got through 7 in one hour…so don't get too confident," With that Tsunade walked away snickering and a dumbfounded Sakura.
"Pfft I could so crush all 30 in an hour…"
1 hour later…
"Oh god…legs cramping…excruciating muscle pain! Noooo!" Sakura huffed and sluggishly kicked her 8th training dummy down.
"I see you've only gone through 8 of them S-a-k-u-chan!" Tsunade walked over to the tired Sakura who stood there panting, her legs held cuts and bruises…some parts of her skin even looked raw.
"Well I pant still pant beat you I got pant 8 and you only took down pant 7," Tsunade just laughed and nodded. Tsunade then told Sakura to come in but all Sakura did was stand there.
"C'mon Sakura! I said let's go in now! You only have 2 hours to rest before the ANBU squad comes over!" Tsunade got frustrated so she walked over to her still student.
"I'm sorry Tsunade but I can't," Sakura's voice was stern and this confused the hell out of Tsunade.
"Sakura Haruno get in the house and rest up now!" Tsunade was on the verge of throwing Sakura into the house…literally.
"No…I seriously can't my legs are numb and if I move excruciating pain will shoot up my body…" After Sakura's confession Tsunade started to roar with laughter.
"Aw Saku-chan! You just needed to ask! Of course I'll carry you!" Tsunade then picked up Sakura and threw her over her shoulders…again.
'And this is exactly what did not want happening' Sakura then let out an 'oof!' as she hit Tsunade's shoulder.
"Damnit Tsunade this isn't whatt I wanted! 'Leme gooo! Noooo! Not again!" Sakura thrashed her arms around but it didn't do much as Tsunade kept on skipping towards the house.
"Tsunade! Let me down-oh forget it…"
Ooooooooooooo
OOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOO
Ooooooooooooo
2 hours later…
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"I'm coming!" Sakura opened the door only to see 3 ANBU members with minor burns all over their bodies.
"Okay as you go in give me your names and sit down on the couch Tsunade will be out in a minute," Sakura stood there ready to take names.
"Are you always this organized Ugly?" Sakura's eyes widened she immediately saw a boy with pale skin, short black hair, and onyx colored eyes. She immediately hugged the burnt ANBU member.
"Sai! Holy shit you look like crap! Geez I knew you couldn't live without me," Sakura just smiled when Sai gave her a look that said what-the-hell-are-you-talking-about.
"Yeah you wish ugly…ouch, easy on the hug," Sakura just smiled and let Sai sit on the couch. When Sakura first met Sai it was mostly arguing, punching, and a lot more punching but over the years Sai's smiles turned into genuine ones and he started to open up more but that's only with Sakura and their other friend…
"Okay next," Sakura looked up only to see a boy with black hair tied into a high spiky ponytail, and sharp black eyes.
"Hey there Sakura…" Sakura just smiled and engulfed the ANBU member in a hug, which the boy returned.
"Shika! Man I haven't seen you and Sai in…2 years! It's so nice to see you!" Sakura let go of Shikamaru and let him sit on the couch too.
"Okay and you are?" Sakura looked up only to see that the man in front of her didn't take of his mask. She could tell it was a guy buy the build of his body.
"Sakura Haruno…?" The man's voice sounded familiar to Sakura but she couldn't remember where she heard it. Sakura just gave the man a questioning look.
The man then sighed and took off his mask…
"Holy…shit your-"
