-Inside the Matchmaker's House-

Sakura followed the matchmaker into the house. They walked on until they reached a dining/living room area. The Matchmaker then turned around and circled around Sakura.

"To skinny...Not good for bearing sons," the matchmaker said as she wrote something else on her clipboard.

'What the hell! You shouldn't be talking!' thought Sakura's inner voice while Sakura sent a glare at the lady.

She then notice the cricket jump out the cage. She grabbed him before he made the jump and tried to put it back in. Since she couldn't accomplish that she grabbed him and put him in her mouth.

"Recite the Final Admonition," the Matchmaker commanded.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm ...," Sakura smiled as she swiftly pulled out her fan and spit out the cricket.

"Well?" She asked impatiently.

"Fulfill your duties, calmly and ...," Sakura started then looked at her arm where the now smeared writing was,"respectively. Um, reflect before you ... snack. Act! I mean act. This shall bring you honor and glory." With that said an done she fanned herself. The Matchmaker then made a quick grab for her fan and looks it over.

'AHA! Fat lady the cheats aren't there. You'll never find them! BWAHAHAHA!' I.S. yelled in Sakura's head.

After finding none the matchmaker grabbed the arm that had Sakura's "notes" and pulled her towards a table. Once she released her hand the writing came off of Sakura's arm and on to her own hand.

"This way." she grumpily,"Now, pour the tea. To please your future in-laws, you must demonstrate a sense of dignity," while she said this she ran her inked covered fingers over mouth giving her a mustache and beard drawing on her face,"and refinement. You must also be poised."

Sakura stared at the Matchmaker while she poured the tea and misses the cup. She then regain her composure and quickly fills the tea cup. She then notices the cricket sitting in the tea cup like it was a mini hot spring. Then she saw the Matchmaker's hand come into view and take the cup away from her.

Sakura emerald eyes widen and tried to get the large women's attention,"Um...excuse me," she whispered trying not to get on her bad side.

"And silent!" she snapped at Sakura then turned back the tea sniffing it, "Ah."

'I can't let her swallow the cricket,' Sakura thought with determination.

"Could I get that back really quick?" she asked as she climbed the table and made a grab for the tea cup.

The Matchmaker fights back to get the tea cup causing both of them to fall back. The tea cup was release from their grasp and spilled on the Matchmaker.

She looked at Sakura and sent her a glare,"Why, you clumsy!" The Matchmaker stopped her verbal assault when she felt something jump into her dress,"... Oh! Ah! Woo!" she yelped as she tried to get the bug out of her dress which caused her to trip over the fire-pot and spilling the coals. Sakura watched in horror, as the women that held her honor, fell on the now spilled fire rocks.

'TIMBER!' was I.S. smart remark. 'Hey what's cooking?' I.S. said smirking in Sakura's head as she saw the smoke rise from underneath the Matchmaker.

As if the Matchmaker heard Sakura's thoughts she sniffed around and notices her dress was the cause. In panic, Sakura grabbed her fan and tried to blow out the burning dress. She then made a mental note to never do it again when the burnt spot burst into flames. Sakura gasped in shock and the matchmaker ran around the house screaming her head off.

-Outside-

CRASH BOOM and then a SCREECH was heard.

"I think its going well, don't you," Granma Haruno asked Rei with a smirk.

Rei looked at the doors with a worried expression. Just then the front doors burst open and out ran the matchmaker.

"Put it out! Put it out! PUT IT OUT!" the women yelled as she ran around in circles like a chicken with no head. Not long after Sakura came running out with the tea pot. Without a second thought she threw the tea on her putting out the fire.

'Oh ancestors what have I done?' Sakura thought after she realized what happen. Embarassed she handed the tea pot to the still shocked matchmaker and quickly walked towards her mother and grandma.

After realizing what just happened the Matchmaker looked furiously towards Sakura. "You are a DISGRACE!" she yelled," You may look like a bride but you will NEVER bring your family honor!"

Rei wrapped her arm over Sakura's shoulder but Sakura took it off and walked away. "Sakura," Rei whispered towards her daughter's retreating form. Everyone began walking away and began whispering things. Ino watched the whole thing and felt sorry for her rival/friend. She then turned her gazed towards the matchmaker and mumble the word bitch. She then had to suppress her laughter after seeing her rival's handy work on the Matchmaker.

-At the Haruno House-

Sakura walked into the front gates of her home and was greeted with a warm smile from her father. She sighed and turned away taking her horse to the stables.

'How embarrassing. I told you we should of ditched the horse and jumped the fence, go into the garden and hide under on of the rocks there,' I.S. snorted.

Once Sakura put her horse in the stable she walked to the little stream in the back garden. She looked into the water and and glared at the reflection. "This is so not me. I will never pass as a perfect bride or daughter," she growled as wiped off the make-up.

'Hey don't worry not everyone is perfect. Besides just being yourself should work just find. CHA!' I.S. tried to cheer herself up.

"That would just break my family's heart," Sakura sighed in defeat,"But then again I don't even know who I am really."

'What?! You are Sakura Haruno. DUH!'

"I know that. It just now I'm even more confused about my purpose. Up until now I knew my purpose was to be bring honor to my family by impressing the Matchmaker and getting married. Now that I failed that what am I supposed to do now? What's my purpose?"

'...,'/crickets chirping/.

"Thanks for the help," Sakura grumbled as she made her way across the little bridge, that went over the stream. She walked up to the bench that was under her favorite tree. She sat there looking at the cherry blossoms that bloomed in her favorite tree.

"My, my, what beautiful blossoms we have this year," Sakura looked up to see her father standing next to her, "But look, this one is late," he continued as he pointed towards a branch. Sakura followed his finger and gazed towards the bud.

"I bet when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all," he said with a warm smile as he placed the white comb, with cherry blossoms on it, in her hair. She turned toward her father and gave him a hug. Just then the sound of drums rang through the air. Sakura's father separated from their hug and looked towards the front of the house with worry.

'That's not good,' I.S. voice popped out of nowhere.

'So glad you could join me again,' Sakura thought sourly as she followed her father to the front of the house.

'...' once again/crickets chirping/
