.X. Recap .X.
In the real world, tears silently trailed down her pale face as she continued her journey throughout her childhood years. Everyone in the class was busy working on their painting that they didn't notice the lone girl by the window…out of all the people there only one person noticed and that one person was…
'Why is Sakura crying? No one said anything to her. She's so confusing. Ahhh. Why am I thinking about a girl I don't even know?' a certain person thought.
"Oi! Sasuke-teme! Why are you spacing out like that? I called you a billion times already for the past 10 minutes. What's gotten you all spacey?" the fox-looking boy asked with a concerned look in his eyes.
"Nothing dobe. What do you want?"
"Hmm…I forgot."
Sasuke turned to the boy with a vein protruding from his forehead. "Naruto, you are so stupid!"
"Oh! I remember now. I was going to ask you what you were gonna draw for your picture." Naruto said with a big smile on his face.
"I don't know. Now leave me alone baka."
"Geez, Sasuke what's got you so pissed?"
"Hn."
Sakura was still in her own world, going through all of the good times of her life, and the bad times of her life. She saw herself playing the flute when she was younger. She loved playing it for Sai. But when he passed, she gave up on it, she never touched her flute ever again. It is hidden in her closet waiting to be played again. 'Maybe I should play it one last time in a couple days…just for him' she thought to herself. Sai's favourite holiday was Christmas and it was only a month away. (A/N: its November 25th‼ ;P).
Briinggg. Riing! The period ended. "Listen you morons; remember that the project is due by the end of this week! Dismissed". Everyone slowly packed up and began to leave the classroom to get to their classes. Sakura quickly rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand to rid her face of any evidence of crying.
"Ne. Forehead-chan! Hurry up! We're gonna be late for class if you don't move your butt faster!" Ino screeched.
"Yara, Yara, Ino-pig. You're so loud, just like Naruto." Sakura said with a fake smile.
"Come on, we gotta get to bio. Asuma-sensei's gonna be mad if we're late!"
"Ok. Ok. Just slow down!"
The others were already heading to class as the two girls were exiting the class. "So what are you gonna draw for the assignment Saku-chan? I'm gonna draw us shopping!" Ino said with sparkles in her eyes.
"Ahh…still the same Ino I grew up with" The cherry blossom said shaking her cotton candy coloured head.
The said girls arrived at their class in the nick of time. Ino sat down with Shikamaru and Sakura beside her. "Everyone sit down. Today we will be learning about the human body; like the parts of the body and their functions." Asuma said as he passed out the sheets. "You will need a partner for this, since we have a new student, there will be one group of three. Everyone please proceed, and the textbooks are at the back of the class."
Everyone slowly got to work. Sakura looked around to see who she would be working with and she saw Ino talking to Shikamaru and didn't want to disturb them.
"Sakura-chan! Come work with me and teme!"
Sakura looked over to Naruto with a nervous smile. She looked back to Ino who gave her a reassuring smile before turning back to her precious Shika-kun. Sakura slowly gathered her belongings and walked over to Sasuke and Naruto with a small smile and seated herself in between the boys. "Let's get working shall we?" Sakura said in a small voice. She hated working in groups…especially if they make her do all the work, since she was top of her class since she was in school.
"Yeah!"
"Hn."
As the three were working on their assignment the other girls in the class were glaring at Sakura with envious eyes and were plotting to hurt her in some way. Sakura was oblivious to these acts as she continued her work. Sakura and Sasuke were done there work after 20 minutes while Naruto was struggling with it. He felt like tearing out his hair!
"Sakura-chan! Teme! Help me! I don't understand any of this! Gah! I'm going to fail this! And it's all gonna be teme's fault!"
"How is it my fault if you fail baka?"
"I don't know, but it is!" Naruto replied.
Sakura watched the two with interest. 'How could these two be best friends if they act like enemies?' She wondered.
"Naruto…Did you know you only have a couple more minutes before class ends?"
"NOOOOO!‼‼‼! Sakura-chan! You gotta help me! I'm gonna fail and and-"
"Urusai baka. You talk too much."
"Sakura-chan! Teme is being mean to me!" he wailed.
"Uzumaki-kun. I suggest you stop yelling and ask nicely for help, rather than damaging everyone's ear drums." The dark haired teacher said while taking a drag from his cigarette.
"Fine. Stupid baka, teacher, no help at all…" Naruto muttered under his breath while turning back to his partners. "Ne, Sakura-chan and teme. Please help me with the ass—"
Briing! Ring!
"Okay class dismissed. Please hand in your assignment at the front desk. Enjoy the rest of your day!" Asuma said with a lazy hidden smile. Everyone got up and handed in their assignment and left the classroom. Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto walked slowly to their next class together, gym.
"Oh crap. I'm gonna fail this! Stupid Asuma-sensei. Always giving hard assignments."
"Naruto. It's okay. I did your assignment when you were yelling. So you won't fail. But, you are going to re-do everything once we get it back, since you didn't do anything." Sakura said with a small smile.
"Thanks you're the best Sakura-chan!" Naruto glomped the poor girl into a tight hug.
Sakura immediately began struggling for her release. "P-please let m-me go. Please." Her complexion began to pale quickly as the oblivious boy continued to hug the scared girl. Sasuke noticed the change in her aura and decided to take action.
"Dobe. Let her go, she's scared."
"Nani?" Naruto took a step back to look at the paled girl. Sakura scrambled away from Naruto and hid behind Sasuke unconsciously. Naruto looked at Sakura's trembling form with sad eyes.
"Ne, Sakura-chan, I'm sorry if I scared you. It's just that I'm glad that you helped me out with my work. I didn't want to fail bio because Asuma-sensei always gives hard assignments and I never get any of them done. So yeah…will you forgive me?" He asked while scratching the back of his head absentmindedly.
Sasuke turned around to see the small girl hiding behind him with a soften look. 'It seems like she has been through so much.' He observed. 'To be this scared of the opposite gender. Something must've happened to her when she was younger.'
"It's okay Naruto. I just don't like it when guys touch me." She answered with some hidden fear laced within her words.
"Hurry and let's get to class before Gai goes all 'unyouthful' on us for being late." Sasuke said in an irritated tone.
Naruto and Sasuke led the way to the gym class while Sakura lagged behind them. 'I feel bad for not telling them about my past. But the pain of it is too unbearable to remember. I feel really safe around Sasuke though…which is really odd because I only feel this way near Gaara and Kankuro since they are my brothers. Something about him makes me feel safe and secure, just like Sai-nii-chan.'
'Have you ever thought that you felt safe near Sasuke is because he looks like Sai?'
Sakura looked closely at Sasuke from behind. 'Yeah. You're right! He does look like nii-chan!'
'Stupid idiot.'
'Shut up! It's not my fault that I don't see these things easily!'
A voice broke through her argument with herself. "Haruno. Hurry up before we leave you alone in the hallway."
"Coming." Sakura picked up her pace to catch up to her newly found friends.
The trio went on towards the gymnasium. As they entered the doors there was a loud screech, a flash of green and a bright light.
'I knew something like this was gonna happen. Stupid dobe had to scare the girl.'
To Be Continued.
So yeah. End of Chapter 4! I changed the title of my story from Forgotten to Never Forgotten.
