Please ignore the mistakes if there are any. I'm not completely recovered, but i'm fine enough to write!

Please review! I'd really, really, appreciate it.
And I would also like to know who'd you like Sakura to end up with.
Thanks!

Hello - Inner Sakura

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Naruto. But I do own my OC and this plot;D

Random fact of the day:
Almost every 18 seconds, somebody committs suicide in the world.


-Previously on Difficult-

They both kept on arguing nonstop for a while.

"Aha! There he is!" The hotel owner/manager said, pointing at a teen who looked about one or two years older than Naruto, Sai, and Sakura."He's my son and his name is-"

"JUST SHUT UP, ALREADY!" They heard Sakura hiss. They turned their heads and began to watch her.

Suddenly, she grabbed her backpack and flung it over her head with both arms.

She was about to give Naruto and Sai an intense blow to head that would shatter their skulls on impact.

"Sakura-san..?"

She paused when she heard a slightly familiar voice say her name.


Sakura looked up. "..Aoi-san..?"

Aoi smiled at her and waved. She gave a small, shy smile back, dropping her backpack on the couch. Her team looked at him. Aoi's slightly short, choppy layered hair was a bit messy, but at the same time, presentable. His multi-colored locks framed his face perfectly.His bangs covered a portion of his face;
almost like Sakura. He was wearing a plain white hoodie with loose grey skinny jeans, secured with a black and white checkered belt around his waist.

"Aha, so I see that your pink-haired girlie already knows one of my sons." The hotel owner said to Kakashi, grinning. Kakashi looked at Sakura with curiosity. The masked ninja never knew she had a new friend... a new friend that happened to be a boy. Sakura never really made new friends; but when she did, they were girls. He also noticed her small, shy smile. 'This is interesting...' Kakashi thought, grinning. He walked over to his students, standing behind the couch.

Aoi walked over to the couch where they were. "I'm Aoi." He said, slightly smiling down with cold eyes at Sai, Kakashi, and Naruto. He then turned to Sakura with a half lustful, half innocent look in his eyes; still smiling.

Sai grunted and started to look somewhere else, while Naruto glared when he saw Aoi's expression suddenly change at the sight of his pink-haired teammate. The blonde quietly growled under his breath. Kakashi narrowed his eyes.

Sakura didn't notice the sudden change in his eyes when he looked at her. She just waved sheepishly.

'What the hell? Is she blind or something?! Didn't she notice the look in that hormone-crazed teenager's eyes?!' Kakashi thought and inwardly groaned.

Five minutes passes by with nobody saying a word. An uncomfortable silence fell into the hotel lobby.

The hotel owner behind the desk coughed a bit awkwardly, breaking the silence. "Aoi, please show them the penthouse upstairs so they can unpack." He said to his son, looking at all of them.

"Yes, father." Aoi replied. "Follow me."

The team walked behind the other teenager, following him.


They arrived infront of a door which read 'Private Penthouse'

Aoi brought out a card and swiped it across the slot above the handle. He opened the door and motioned for them to go inside. As soon as the four shinobi stepped inside, their mouths dropped open.

It was beautiful. There were huge glass walls on the opposite side of the room. Around the glass walls, there was an indoor hot spring. The kitchen was huge; it had a one huge fridge, two stoves, a microwave, and a coffee maker. The living room had a shiny white marble floor with a fireplace, two black couches, and a big tv. There two hallways. There was stairs to another story of the penthouse, where a small library was. The whole place looked amazing.

"This is the penthouse I live in, and this is also where you'll be staying." Aoi said, motioning for them to follow. "Follow me and i'll show you your rooms.
There are only two rooms, so Sakura, you can stay in my room with me if you'd like." He smiled and turned around to face them.

"OHHHHHH HELLLLLL NO. She's staying with us." Naruto yelled, putting an arm around Sakura's shoulders.

"Take it off, before I break it off." The pink-haired medic slightly growled. The blonde quickly slid his arm off.

"I think it's up to her, Naruto-san." Aoi said, with a light smirk on face.

Naruto glared at him. "How do you know my name?"

"From Tsunade-sama. She told me all of your names."

"Oh."

"Anyways, where would you like to stay, Sakura?" Kakashi asked.

"I think.. I'll just stay with my team. I don't know you that much so I can't stay with you, Aoi-san.I'm sorry. " Sakura said, making Aoi frown. "Please don't be sad." The kunoichi finished, putting her hand on his shoulder.

Aoi immediately smiled under the girl's touch; making the other three males grunt.

'He tried to steal Hag-chan away... but I wonder why. Who in the world would like an ugly hag?' Sai thought to himself.

"She can stay with me and Sai!!" Naruto yelped with arms in the air.

"No. I don't trust you. I don't want anything to happen to me while I sleep. And for Sai, well.. he's an asshole." Sakura replied, removing her hand from Aoi's shoulder.

"You can stay with me, Sakura." Kakashi said with a grin hidden under his mask.

Sakura nodded. "Ok."

"WHAT THE HELL?! Are you actually gonna stay with him?! He's old and perverted!" Naruto yelled.

"That may be, but I trust him more than you." She replied, walking infront next to Kakashi and Aoi.

Naruto was on the verge of tears, reaching his arm out in the direction of Sakura. "WAHH! Sakura-chan doesn't like me.." He said with a frown.

"You just noticed that? Maybe she doesn't like you because you're Dickless." Sai said with a fake smile.

"I'll show you!" The kyuubi screamed, reaching for his pants. Sakura screamed.

Naruto reached for his zipper until Kakashi came running and grabbed his hands. "Stop it, Naruto. Nobody wanted to see."

"Fine." He replied, putting his hands to his sides.

Aoi coughed awkwardly. "Anyways, here's your two rooms." He said, pointing to two doors that were next to eachother. "My room is down the hall. I have to go to my room, so please, make yourself at home. Anything that is mine is yours as well." He finished, leaving.

Sakura opened the door to the room she had to share with Kakashi. Her lips made a small smile when she entered the huge room. The walls were painted light grey with two windows. The floor was a shiny white marble, just like the living room. In the corner, there was a small black desk made out of wood. She sat on the white bed with black covers, closing her eyes.

Wait. The bed? As in one?

Her eyes shot open.

Only one bed.

She groaned.

Kakashi walked into the room when he heard her groan. "What's wrong?" He asked. He looked at Sakura and froze. 'One bed..? This is going to get very interesting..' He thought and smirked behind his mask.


-With Naruto and Sai-

"Why the hell do I have to share a room with you?!" Naruto growled once he got into the room. The room was the same thing as Sakura's and Kakashi's room.

Sai walked in. "I have no idea, but-" He stopped when he took a look at the room. Only one bed as well. "You get the floor." He finished, sitting on the bed.

"Why do I have to?!"

"Because you are a fag. And I don't want you to touch me while I sleep."

"Fuck you!" Naruto began and sighed. "Well, I'm going to go hang out with Kakashi-sensei and Sakura-chan." He finished and left the room.
Sai stood up and walked to the room as well.

ooo

-Back to Kakashi's and Sakura's Room-

Naruto and Sai walked in without knocking. "Any manners?" Kakashi stated.

"Nope. Anyways, we are here to hang out in your room with you guys." Naruto replied.

Sakura stood up, walking to the bathroom with her backpack. She undressed herself and slipped a big towel around her body. The towel started at the top of her chest, and ended at mid-thigh. She walked out of the bathroom. The three looked up at her with wide eyes.Their 15 year old teammate/student has pale,
but slender, feminine legs. They looked really smooth. The didn't get to see the front of her body. Only her back. "I am going to take a bath in the indoor hot spring. And please, you three. Don't go there." She said, heading for the door.

"Why would we want to look at you while taking a bath? You're ugly." Sai scoffed.

Sakura's head turned to Sai. Her eyes full of sadness and pain met his cold black ones. She turned her head back and walked out the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Sai?!" Naruto yelled.

"Sai, you just HAD to ruin the moment.." Kakashi sighed.


Sakura finally reached the hot spring. She dipped her foot in the water to feel the tempurature. She smiled to herself and took off her towel. She walked to the edge of the hot spring and slowly slid her body down in the hot water, enjoying the feeling. She sighed in relaxation and grabbed a sponge to wash herself.
She placed the sponge in the water and picked it up, gently scrubbing her pale flesh.A few minutes later, she closed her eyes and began to sing in a soft voice.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have All of me

ooo

-With Kakashi, Naruto, and Sai-

"Do you hear that?" Sai asked, walking out the door.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"I hear it too. Let's see where it's coming from. " Kakashi said and began to walk out the door.

Naruto quickly ran after them and stopped next to them. They heard someone sing. Kakashi opened the glass doors to a small crack so they can see what was happening. They saw Sakura in the bath leaning back to the edge of the spring with closed eyes and red cheeks from the heat. They just watched her with curious eyes.

ooo

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream
I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have All of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have All of me...

Sakura finished singing but didn't open her eyes.

ooo

The three male's hearts wrenched at what they heard. There was real emotion in the words she sang.

"Am I that unattractive...?" She quietly spoke to herself.

You are beautiful. Her inner replied.

"Why do people ignore me... people always stare at me... why?"

Because you're different.

"Why...?"

You just are.

"I just can't take this anymore..."

Then do something about it.

Her eyes shot open and she let out a loud scream, throwing a soap bar at a mirror across the room, shattering it. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD! GET OUT OF MY HEAD"
She shrieked even louder, grabbing her head and pink locks in her hands as if she were insane. Sharp broken pieces of the mirror flew everywhere. It even flew onto her face, cutting her pale flesh. The water began to turn red, contaminated with Sakura's blood. Her naked body crawled out of the water, pulling her wet knees to her bloody chin. She tumbled over and was shaking. Blood was trickling down her cheeks and chin. She coughed up some blood. "U-Unwanted.. weak.. forgotten... mistreated..."She chanted over and over again. Her unsteady arm reached and picked up a long sharp piece of the broken mirror. She was about to slash and stab it into her wrist until she heard someone call her name.

"Sakura!" Kakashi, Naruto, and Sai came running in and bent down to her. Kakashi grabbed the sharp object from her hand. He was about to put a towel around her body until he heard her cough.

"D-Don't touch me." Sakura hissed through bloody gritted teeth.
