Yatta! A new chapter! Thanks for reviewing to those who had! It makes me want to write as soon as possible! Thus, the 4th chappie!

I do not own Naruto. Or any other celebrities and songs that will or will not be mentioned in this fic.

P.S: The four girls are single. They have admirers and crushes, but they are still single, nonetheless. The boys…well, you'll find out. Lol. Now, on with the story!


"Oh my god!"

A woman around 16 rushed towards a little body almost buried in the deep white snow. She quickly picked her up from the cold, hard ground and took her inside her house.

"Ne, daijobu? Ne!'

She gently slapped the little girl's pale face. The girl slowly opened her eyes, shown of a dull jade-green colour. She blinked a few times before noticing the person beside her. It was also then did she notice that she had already been changed from her usual torn t-shirt and shorts to a warm and pretty dress. A pink one too, to be exact.

"Where am I…?"The girl whispered.

"You are in my house, obviously. Thank god you're okay," She took a wet towel and rubbed it on her forehead. "How are you feeling?"

"…fine, arigato for your help…"

"Iie, you just rest now until you feel better. I'll go and make something warm for you. Is chicken soup alright?"

"…hai," The girl answered in her weak voice and turned to the other of the couch she was resting in. '…'

Slowly, wet tears slid down her cheek. Memories of what happened before she fainted came back to her, piece by piece. 'Tou-chan…Kaa-chan…why did you leave me? Nande?'

"Hey, here's your soup (well, that was fast…)—oh dear, why are you crying?" the woman took a box of Kleenex and dabbed the tears dry. The girl turned towards her and looked at her while more tears came out of her emotionless eyes.

"Daddy…mommy…dous-te? Why did you leave me alone? Why?"

"Huh?"

"Mommy…daddy!" Uncontrollably, the girl wrapped her small arms around the woman's neck. Sniffing and hiccupping as she tried to swallow back the tears.

The woman was taken back for a bit. 'Okay…?'

"There, there…don't cry…what's your name?" she tried to be as gentle as she can be.

The girl sniffed again and answered, "Sakura…Haruno Sakura,"

"That's a nice name. Wanna know mine?"

She nodded.

"Kurenai. Yuuhi Kurenai."

"That's a nice name too."

Kurenai grinned. But it didn't last long. She broke the embrace and asks Sakura a question.

"Ne…what happened to your parents?"

Sakura stopped sniffling and started fidgeting in her seat.

"…"

"…well?"

"…they…are dead,"

"!"

"…I came back from Ino-chan's house…and when I opened the door, mommy and daddy are lying on the ground."

"Oh god,"

"…" Tears started again. "T-they won't move anymore! They won't speak to Sakura, or scold Sakura!"

Kurenai looked at Sakura, frowning at what she had gone through. Sakura rubbed her eyes again and started hiccupping…again.

"They just lie there…their bodies are cold…I touched them…and there was blood everywhere…"

'So that explains why her clothes are all red…poor kid…she'd been through a lot…no kid should go through that…'

"…" 'Oh, she's finished…'

"…look, I'll tell you what. You can stay here with me, if you like. Since you can't possibly go back now…" Kurenai patted her head. Sakura tilted her head up and smiled for the first time for the Yuuhi. "I don't have any siblings…my mom and dad are in America for business. You can help keep me company here."

"Arigato…but I'll only trouble you…"

"Iie! You won't be. If you want to repay my kindness for letting you rest here, I suggest you do what I said." Kurenai smirked playfully. Sakura's eyes widened for she had not expect that she will be threat to stay here. But still, she doesn't have any place to go now…

"Then…Ok! I'll stay here with nee-san!"

"That's a good girl," Kurenai ruffled her head for the second time. "Here, eat up." She handed the bowl of soup that is still warm to Sakura.

"Thank you!" Sakura prayed and gulped down the liquid, spoon by spoon.

Kurenai smiled and watched Sakura finish…


My life, Your life, Our lives…

Chapter 4…

Girls' condo, living room…

"Ready girls?"

"Hai,"

"Ready."

"Wait! I can't find my cell!" Ino wailed while searching all over the living room. The others sighed. Sakura helplessly joined the search, knowing that it will take forever to let Ino find it herself.

"I told you to get ready an hour ago but nooo, you just have to watch D.N.Angel," (lol, they are anime characters and they watch anime too.)

"It is important!" Ino cried in despair. "Dark is on the verge of getting killed by that no-good, dumb-ass-jerk, Krad!"

"But you have watched this freakin' anime for the 5th time!" Tenten huffed and crossed her arms. "Besides, Dark is not the most important character here. Daisuke is."

"!—you take that back, Tenten! Dark is the most important!"

"Daisuke!"

"Dark!"

"Daisuke!"

"Dar—"

"Ino-chan, what's that on your right hand?" Hinata pointed to the device.

"Eh! How'd it get her—oh, that's right! I was taking pictures of Dark!"

Bad move. Sakura's last string of patience snapped into two.

"Moron! You were holding it the whole time and didn't notice it yourself? And you call yourself a ninja? No, worse than that, an ANBU! For crying out loud, be bright for once in your whole pathetic life!" Sakura took a deep, deep breath.

Tenten and Hinata awed at their leader's reaction. "Hey," Tenten whispered to Hinata. "Nani?"

"It's the first time she said only one curse in a year!"

"(Sweat-drops) you keep track?"

"Hell yeah I do!" Tenten grinned.

"…good for you…" Hinata clapped sarcastically.

"Well, I'm sorry for troubling you! It wasn't me who asked for your freakin' help, was it now?" Sakura stomped towards her belongings and picked them up.

"I don't care what the fuck you do next time, but please remind me to kick your ass hard if this freakin' scene happens again, and burn all your freakin' CDs, and tore off all your designer outfits into…into little pieces that have a Mexican name for it but I can't remember!"

"I stand corrected…five curses today…"

"Yup,"

"I said that I was freakin' sorry, didn't I? Who died and made you queen?" Ino stomped away to pick up her belongings too. "And, the little pieces that has a Mexican name for it, is called confetti, idiot."

"Argh! Stupid Ino-pig!"

"You little over-sized forehead! You don't call me that!"

"Why? Will it hurt Ino-pig's feelings?"

"No!—I mean yes!—I mean—argh! Let's just get out of here! We're gonna be late!" Ino was the first to 'poof' out of sight. But in a few seconds later, she came back. The others look at her in surprise.

"What? I forgot my books. Am I gonna be sentenced to death?" She poofed out again.

"Ya know," Tenten wondered out loud. "It makes me wonder why we were best friends back then."

"Don't remind me, I want to forget everything sweet that I have said to her in the past ten years!" Sakura out.

"…do you remember? Hinata?"

"well…haha…I…oh, got to go. Don't forget about the guide thing later!" Hinata out.

"Come on! Does it hurt to just tell me?" Tenten out.


Konoha Academy, front porch…

"Does this have to be long? I have Taekwondo lessons today,"

"Yes, Haruno. You are to show the boys to around school and the town too, if they like."

"Oh man…" 'I need to let out my nerves on a punching bag today! Damn you, Ino!'

Ino sneezed. Sakura smirked. Tenten, Hinata and Godaime looked at the two.

"They got into a fight again, didn't they?"

"Yup. And she broke the record today for the sentence with the least curses today."

"How many?"

"5,"

Tsunade let out a tiny gasp. "Whoa, that is a small number…did she ate something wrong these days?"

"No. I cook for everyone in the house."

"Yeah, the only thing edible if Hinata don't cook is a whole shelf full of trail mix and crackers." Tenten shuddered. "Or, we will have to order take outs."

"Ummhmm…" Tsunade look out from the porch. "Oh, they're here! Come on, girls!"

Tsunade literally pushed Sakura and Ino out from their roots. Hinata and Tenten followed. "I need to make sure everything is in order. Take them to my office once you introduced yourselves."

All four mumbled a 'hai—' and walked out, regretting that they had taken this 'mission'.


Konoha Academy, Main gate…

Girls' point of view from afar…

A car stopped in front of the huge gate. The back door opened and out stepped a blonde guy with blue eyes. (Estimated height is 160cm.) Followed by a guy with dark (almost) raven hair. (Estimated height is 165cm.) Then, a guy with black hair tied into a ponytail on his head stepped out. (Estimated height is 164cm.) Lastly, another guy with his black hair tied at the end climbed out of the limousine. (Estimated height is 167cm.)

All of boys are carrying with them backpacks or a simple book bag. Some brought cells of their own, one carrying Discman, and one even brought along their sketch book (Ok, this, you must know who, right?).

Sakura sighed, upon reaching the gate. "Ino, can we continue our fight later when we get back? I'm lacking energy to 'introduce' them to the whole school."

The Yamanaka blinked and grinned. "Sure."

Tenten and Hinata sweat-dropped as the conversation ends.

"That must be the most peaceful fights between two friends…"

"Yup."

Boys' point of view…

Our driver parked the limo along the sidewalk to our new school. Naruto, Sasuke, and Shikamaru got out first, due to the fact that the right door is closer. I got out last.

Right in front of us, ok, not in front-in front. But still in front of us, were four girls heading our way. The first one had pale pink hair that's until her shoulders. She's about 161cm tall. The one next to her had blonde hair like Naruto but ten times longer. This one's almost as tall as Nara. Behind them, one had purple hair, about Naruto's height and the other had dark brown, I think, tied in two buns, about Uchiha's height. All in all, I had a weird feeling every time I lay my eyes on the one with the purple hair. Must be the breakfast Naruto got us. Mental note to self, never eat ramen too quickly in the morning. Even if you're starving. They do things to you…

I noted that everyone seemed to bring their cells with them. Uchiha even brought his sketch book. That smart-ass. Nara was yawning and rubbing his eyes now and then. Even Naruto brought his Discman. I look at myself. A book bag and a cell. Simple. Turning towards the inside of our new school, the girls neared us.


Main Gate, Entrance…

"…Ohayou! Welcome to Konoha High!"

Sakura greeted as she stepped in front of the other girls. It was always her job to be the first one getting into anything the four do. And, it is totally nerve-wrecking.

"Morning." The boys echoed.

'Well, that was fast…' Tenten, Hinata, and Ino thought.

"I'm Sakura, she's Ino, that's Tenten, and that's Hinata. And you are…?"

a boy yawned. One just blinked. One glared and the last one looked freaked out. And the last one is Neji. 'Masaka…white eyes? Is she a…' Neji looked at Uchiha and Shikamaru. Naruto is out of the question since he is currently listening to his D'man.

Neji tell them to look at the one called Hinata. They did and they are awed too. They shot back looks saying that they will talk about it later. Meantime, Sasuke took the task of introducing them. He pointed to himself then to the others.

"Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji." 'Sasuke… where have I heard that before… 'thought Sakura.

Hinata saw the one called Neji and almost fainted. She gripped onto Tenten and shot her the same looks that Neji did. Tenten saw it and nudged the other two. Sakura and Ino noticed and shot back another 'I know' look. To break the thick ice, the Chinese clapped her hands together.

"Great! Now that we know each other, why don't we go inside and get your schedule first?" Tenten chirped happily. If you are standing next to her, you can see that she is forcing it, mostly. And Hinata saw it.

"Sure/ Whatever/ Hn."

Ino whispered to Hinata. "Man, are they talkative or what?"


Konoha Academy, on the way to Godaime's office…

"…and here's the lab, the workshop…" Sakura pointed out at every room they passed.

Sasuke walked at the same pace as Sakura, in front. Ino was walking with the one called Shikamaru, swallowing the fact that he can sleep even if he's standing. Tenten and Neji walked together as soon as Neji saw that she threw a dart towards a particular target and it hit the tiny red zone when they passed by the training grounds for archery. Apparently, they both do the same activities. Naruto and Hinata walked together since everyone is paired up unknowingly.

Naruto and Hinata…

"Anosa…you're Hinata right?"

"Hai. And you're Naruto."

"Hey, how'd you know that?"

"…the one called Sasuke introduced each of you…"

"Oh yeah…heheh…my bad…" Naruto rubbed his nape.

"It's ok." Hinata smiled. Naruto blushed momentarily but hid it. 'Kawaii…'

Neji and Tenten…

"So…when did you start playing?"

"Around six, I think…or younger."

"Cool. I start playing at seven. Sensei wouldn't let me play when I was six. I can only watch."

Neji smirked. "Lucky me."

Tenten gave him somewhat of a pout and glare. "Jerk."

"Jealous?"

"Of you? Why should I be? I'm already playing now."

"I can see that."

"Hmph." Tenten crossed her arms and focused her attention on the pin-up boards. Neji's smirk widened. 'This girl's interesting…'

Shikamaru and Ino…

Silence conquered both of them. Shikamaru was going to doze off every time if not for Ino's nudging him in the ribs. And to top it off, she received a lazy glare that was supposed to mean 'knock it off'. From Ino's view, it was more like 'what the hell are you doing?'.

"Are you always like this?"

"(yawns) no."

"Then what do you do most of your time?"

"Watching clouds."

"Well that's interesting."

"It is."

Ino wanted so much to knock this guy senseless. Shikamaru just gave her another glare and look forward.

Sasuke and Sakura…

"The boys' bathroom is down this hall and the cafeteria is over there."

"Hn."

"And the library is upstairs, along with 3 other labs."

"Hn."

"The computer room is on the top floor. The roof top is only accessible during recess or co curriculum activities."

"Hn."

"…do you say anything besides 'hn'?"

"Yea, I do."

"And what's that?"

"None of your business."

Sakura gaped at her new-friend-to-be's attitude. Only one word can describe it. It. Totally. Sucks. Ok, so it's three words. Who cares?

"Ok then. Moving on." She continues her task. Sasuke glance at her direction now and then, unknown to the Haruno, of course.

'She's Sakura…ka? Sure, she could be her…but she hasn't said her surname yet…'

Glance.

'She also has the pink hair…and the green eyes…but could it really be her?'

"OI! Sasuke! We're here!"

Sasuke awakened from his daydreaming. The others already went inside a room.

"…oh…" He nodded slightly and went inside it too, followed by Sakura, who frown at Sasuke's back. 'He seems so familiar…but that attitude…' Sakura shook off the idea. 'Naw…couldn't be…I don't know any guy-friends back then…' Sakura closed the door behind her. '…do I?'


Wow…memory loss stinks…haha.

I don't have any notes I want to make clear this chapter…I think.
