--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry it took so long for me to update. But here it is and i wanted to know if there would be anyone who could help me with this story by being the beta if you can please tell me and please review and tell me what you think

I do not own Naruto

Adrienne and Sakura went back to the restaurant and called Ino and Rin to take their places for the rest of the day. (A\N They both lived with Adrienne.) Sakura had seen Ino around in school, they where in the same grad and they had some of the same classes, but they never talked or hanged out. After they came Sakura and Adrienne went to the café and just sat and talked.

"So Sakura, what up? Is everything ok?" Adrienne asked her as they order their coffees.

"Ya, I just have to find another job." Sakura said as she ordered a black coffee with cream.

"Will I know a place where you could work, but I don't know if you would like to work there." she said Sakura face lit up a little

"Where is it?" she asked

"Will I work there on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays night. And it's more of a bar\club and you have to be or looked 21 to work there, but we are friends with the owner and he backs us up. It pays really well, so what do you say? " Sakura looked a little worry, but what's the harm of going and cheek it out? And if she could get another job then it wouldn't look to bad when she had to give her father her money from her first job, since she would still have more money so that nothing looked weird.

"Ok I'll check it out. When do you guys go?" she asked

"Tonight and since you are staying the night we can take you and see what the boss said's." after that little problem was solved they talked about little things like how Sakura was doing in school and how Adrienne had almost enough money saved up to go to collage. Afterwards they head to Adrienne's place to see that Hinata was making dinner.

Sakura pov

"Hi there, Adrienne. Hi there Sakura, how are you?" Hinata asked me. Hinata was also from my class but like Ino we don't hang out. At all we just know each other from school…

"I'm good Hinata. Do you need any help cooking?" I asked her as she smiled at me and shook her head.

"No that ok Sakura I'm almost done here." she told me and she turn to Adrienne and asked "So is Sakura coming with us?"

Adrienne who nodded "Ya, just have to make her looked 21." Adrienne said as she walked to the stairs, I followed her upstairs and into one of the rooms, where I put my things. Her house was pretty nice much bigger then mine. As I put my things on the bed I head someone say behind us.

"Hay is this Sakura?" a girl asked I turn to see a women around 24 she had short blue hair with a white paper flower on her left side.

"Ya she is. She wants to check out where we work. Since she is looking for a new job so what do you say Konan?" she asked

"Find, just make such she gets really at 8:00 by the way Am Konan and am the one that owns this place and I'm kina of like the mother of everyone, so while you're here I'll be taking care of you as will, so listened so everything I tell you to do and not to do." she said I nodded my head.

"Good now come on let go and sit the table Ino and Rin will be here any minute." they followed her out I was a little nerves Konan sound a little mad and I don't want to be on her bad side that was for such, as we walked Adrienne notches that I was nerves.

"Don't be nerves Sakura, Konan not bad at all she just wants to make such we're all safe." Adrienne told me as we went back to the kitchen and into the dinning room.

I helped as the others come. It was actually fun to talk to all of them and in no time I felt at home here.

After dinner Ino and Rin clean up as Adrienne and I washed the dishes, Konan and Hinata where pick something of us all to wear. Once finished Konan gave me the clothiers and made me change in her room. I wore a Stunning long sleeve top from Battery Organic with the UV detail on the arms, neck and band. Plunging V neck and cut out detail on the arms along with a Stunning mine skirt with the UV detailing. On my feet where Battery Organic R Legs. I looked in the mirror and saw myself. I had never thought of myself as pretty or anything of the sort.

I was and am below average I always know this that why I spend my time studying and nothing else and now with this outfit on me I feel so out of place. This is not me, the me that everyone sees and everyone knows. I head Konan knock

"Are you done?" she asked

"Ya come in" I called out, I heard the door open and looked at me, my arms where over her stomach trying to hid as much skin as I could.

"You don't need to do that. Don't be ashamed of what you looked like, you looked great." she said walked near me and she gave me a warm smile

"Thanks, but it's just not me." I told her, looking at the flood

"What do you mean?"

"Will I'm never been or am the pretty typed, I never believed it. I always spend my time studying, and trying to be a good step daughter." I said with out looking at her.

"Sakura come sit down." Konan said as she sat on the bed. I went over and sat with her. She then left her paper flower from her heir and left of it behind her ear and I saw a scar of stitches there.

"What happen?" I asked her shook to see her hurt she dint look like the type of girl that would be easy to push around and here she was showing me scars.

"My father would hit me and my mother when I was young. One night he killed my mother and raped me. As he did I tried to stop him, but he hit me with his beer bother. Then the ANBU come, but it was too late he had killed himself and left me crying and in my own blood. After that I was take in by some good people they where pretty will off and they couldn't have children. They where better then my mother and father and as I grow up I was a lot like you. I did nothing but study, but in the end I couldn't talked it anymore it wasn't me. I was born to be wild to do things and travel and be with others that where like me. One night I truly had it and we got in a fight and I ran out on them. And went to live with a friend, They come one night and asked for my forgiveness for putting so much presser on me and even thought I was the one who should have been asking for their forgiveness they seem to understand how I fee. Will I never did go back home I did visit but never stayed long. One night they both died on a mission leaving me alone again but this time they left me some money and with that money I made this house. And I worked at the bar\club. But I did feel bad for them I always felt it was my fault and that I should have never left them, but then I remember what my stepmother had said to me 'don't be ashamed of what you are or what you look like. Case you will always be you inside or out. don't hid what you are.' and I thought to myself that oh will I liked getting all dress up and I liked to make the guys go crazy and I also found friends with family problems not the same as mine, but almost. One by one they stared to live here with me and together we became a family." Konan looked at me and smiled "what am trying to say is that sometimes what you see in the mirror and what others see you as isn't always what you are and that there will be times its good to not act like what everyone thinks we are and remember where we are going no one knows you, so you can act as crazy as you want. " I had to laugh, she had it harder than I did and yet she could be happy. It gave me a little hope and I couldn't help but like her.

"Now come on lets do you hair and show the world who you are." she took my arm and took me out. I can so tell this is going to be a long night… But I don't really mind I know I can truth them but I could never tell them what going on with my father I don't want them to be hurt too……
