Sakura woke up to the feeling of someone roughly poking her side. She turned and glanced up to see who it was. Kiba stared down at her with a large grin on his face. "Wake up, Sakura-Chan!" Sakura's eyes narrowed furiously once she glared at the clock. It was six in the morning!

"Kiba…" Sakura snarled as she cocked her head back to where the youngest boy was. Kiba gulped nervously and quickly ran out of the room before he was to be attacked. Sakura smirked as she closed her eyes again.

"Guys!" All the men/boys looked up when they heard Kiba's voice echo through the building. Sasuke stared at the boy as he continued to pant. "What, Kiba?" The boy instantly shot up and pointed at the room where Naruto and Sakura remained asleep. "There's another Naruto!" Silence filled the room before everyone, but Kiba, started to laugh hysterically. "Another Naruto?" Neji asked as he clenched his stomach.

Shikamaru had his face buried in his hands. But you could still hear his muffled laughter. Sasuke had to get up, along with Kakashi, and walk to another room to burst out laughing. Yin was rolling on the floor laughing. Kiba stood there, frustrated, until the boys' laughter died down. "Better?" He growled as he eyed them. When they nodded, Kiba spoke clearly to keep them from laughing again. "What I meant was that Sakura is horrible to wake up just as Naruto!"

Then the boys froze. "Yes! That's what I have been trying to tell you!" Sasuke was the first to rise up. "I want to see for myself." Everyone slowly followed Sasuke to the last bedroom. When Sasuke opened the door, he instantly heard Naruto's snoring. "What did she do?" He asked Kiba, never taking his eyes off the two sleeping forms. "She threatened me! And acts just like him!" He exclaimed as he pointed his index finger at Naruto.

"How will we find out if Kiba's right or not?" Yin asked as he peeked through the two. Sasuke and the boys hit a giant growth spurt at the age of fourteen. They've been taller ever since. Sasuke slowly looked over at Kiba. "Simple…" He grabbed Kiba's shirt and threw him carelessly at the two sleepers. When Kiba landed on the bed, he staid still. One move and he could wake Naruto up, and he didn't want that. Then again, nobody did.

Naruto was completely deadly when he was tired or woken up, that's why everyone let him sleep until he woke up. He was killer. When Kiba thought that the two didn't feel his impact, he let out a victorious grin as he sighed quietly. Suddenly, blue orbs snapped open. Kiba froze as Naruto "rose from the dead." Naruto gave a hard-murderous glare at the young boy in front of him. He was currently lying on his feet! And Naruto did not like his feet touched.

"Kiba…" He snarled as he leered towards Kiba. Naruto's glares were always scary. Kiba yelled as her jumped up and started to hit Naruto violently. Little did Kiba know that he wasn't hitting Naruto, he was hitting Sakura. Sakura's small and delicate hands suddenly snatched the white pillow. When Kiba finally realized who he was actually hitting, he gulped and ran out of the room, almost, faster than light. "Kiba!"

After Sakura's "brutal" attack on Kiba, all the males were sure of it. There was in fact, another Naruto in the building. Oh lord. Naruto came out of the restroom. He was all refreshed and awake. His towel hung around his neck as he entered the kitchen. "Where's Sakura?" He asked looking for the pink haired girl. "Here!" Naruto turned around and chuckled. Sakura was eating a big bowl of salad. "Um…will you be able to eat it all, Sakura-Chan?" She nodded at Kakashi's words. "I may seem petite and such, but I always eat salad."

"Makes me wonder why you're fat…" Everyone glared over at Kiba, who thought his words were quiet. Not really. Sakura carefully sat her bowl down on the kitchen counter. Just as she did, Kiba leaped away as he ran for safety. "Did you just call me fast you stupid little brat!" The guys back in the kitchen couldn't help but chuckle at the fact that she was younger that him and yet she was calling him a brat.

"So, what are we doing today?" Neji asked Kakashi. Even though Sasuke was the leader, Kakashi still decided mostly-ish where they went. Kakashi opened his tablet and looked through it. "You have a photo shoot at noon, an interview at 3:30, and we have to go to the recording studio at 8:15." The males groaned at the fact they were completely busy today.

The sound of feet scuffing caused them to look over. Sakura stood there standing next to Kiba with a grin. "He apologized." Sakura spoke before walking back to her bowl of salad. Shikamaru sighed. "So that's all he had to do?" A sly and devious smirk formed on the two when he asked that. "Not really. Just something…else." Instantly, all the males, except Kiba, rose up frantically and ran out of the room. Sakura and Kiba instantly busted out laughing at the fact that they were only joking.

"I'm going to go get dressed!" Sakura exclaimed as she finished the salad, washed the bowl, and walked out of the room. Kiba nodded and did the same. When Sakura reached the living room, she walked over to her bag with a sigh. Suddenly, a sharp pain struck through her head as she bent down towards the suitcase. She gasped in pain as she clenched her head, trying to ease the pain.

"You okay?" Her eyes widened at the sound of the familiar voice. She turned around and saw Sasuke standing there with a curious expression. "Y-Yeah." She stuttered when she lied. She cursed at that. Whenever Sakura lied she would stutter. Sasuke caught that as well. "Then why are you holding your head?" She blinked.

Once.

Twice.

"I…just panicked. B-Because I forgot something back home, but its fine." Sakura rubbed the back of her neck as she rolled her shoulders. Sasuke could tell something was wrong with her, and he would find out what it was. Soon. "Whatever. Just get dressed." Sakura nodded, grabbed a handful of clothes, and ran to the restroom.

Sakura sighed as she sat in the car. She was sitting between Naruto and Kiba once again. The only different was, was that Sasuke was on the other side of Neji and Shikamaru. Basically speaking, he was sitting in front of her. Sakura would catch Sasuke eye her every ten minutes or so. He obviously knew she was hiding something. Sakura just frowned and stared down until they arrived at the photo shoot.

When they arrived inside, Sakura awed at everything. The place was huge. Sakura could see famous people everywhere. Some she didn't some, some she admired. "Go change really fast guys. Sakura wait here, okay?" Sakura nodded and stood there, not moving. Suddenly, Sakura was rammed into by a woman. The woman fell to the ground with a gasp. Her long red hair that was once beautiful was now matted and dirty. "You little brat!" She rose.

"I-I'm sorry?" Sakura apologized yet asked. What was she to do? The woman was saying that she made her fall, when the woman ran into Sakura first of all. Sakura caught a good glimpse of the woman in front of her. Too put it simply, she looked like a whore. She had black glasses on and a skirt that showed too much skin. "You little brat!" She repeated. "How dare you trip me?" Sakura scoffed. "B-But I didn't-"

"Now you're going to lie to me? Who are your parents! They surely wouldn't leave their pathetic daughter alone…oh wait. I bet they did, didn't they?" Tears sprang to Sakura's eyes at the sound of the woman's cruel words. "Too me," she roughly poked Sakura's forehead. "You seem like a little grade scholar. Your parents didn't want you, right? That why you're here?" Tears began pouring down Sakura's face like a river. "N-No!" The woman pouted playfully. "No? Well…it seems like you're alone. If not, who're you here with?"

"With us." A deep voice called from behind them. Sakura knew instantly who it belonged to. The woman growled and glanced up to see who spoke to her, but her expression changed to horror when she found out that it was Sasuke and the others. "S-Sasuke-kun?" The woman gasped. Sasuke's eyes were dangerously narrowed. "What were you saying to her?" The woman gulped. "J-Just that how her and I are like sisters!"

Naruto scoffed. "Sisters? Then what's her name?" Her eyes widened. "Karin," Sasuke glared at the girl. "You know better than to say anything like that to people. Especially when that happened to you! You are the one that's alone, mostly because you're a bitch. Apologize to her!" Karin glared at the little girl and crossed her arms with a snarl.

"NOW!" Everyone jumped at Sasuke's sudden outburst. Uh oh, his temper was getting the best of him. Karin started to shake. Sasuke clenched his fists and started to walk towards Sakura and Karin. He placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder as he glared death into Karin's eyes. "Apologize…now." Karin gulped once more. "S-Sorry!" And with that, she ran off. Naruto came up beside Sakura. He bent down to her level and stared at her with a sad expression.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he took the tissues that Neji handed him. They were all staring at the girl. Sakura wasn't okay. She was a total mess and heartbroken. "Yeah." She managed to lie without stuttering. Naruto helped her wipe the tears off her face. "Just ignore what she said." The teary-faced girl looked up at Sasuke. His frown deepened as noticed the dried tears. "You, unlike her, actually have people that care about you."

"We're always here for you." Shikamaru chuckled as he ruffled the girl's hair. She smiled as she stared at the guys. "Thank you…" They all grinned back at her.

Naruto sighed. "Are you guys ready yet-"

"Naruto!" Naruto turned to see a blonde jump in his arms. She squealed and held onto him like a long lost puppy. Sakura quirked a brow at the scene. "That's Ino. She's Naruto's cousin. She's twenty." Kiba chuckled at the scene. "Naruto where have you been? I haven't seen you in forever! Boy you have grown!" Naruto chuckled once more and continued to hug his elder cousin. "Ah, you have too. How's the family?" Ino shrugged. "Same as always."

Then, that's when Ino noticed Sakura. "Aw! Who is she?" She walked up to Sakura and grinned. "I'm Ino!" She held her hand out to Sakura who shook it. "I'm…Sakura." Ino's face suddenly seemed to brighten up. "Naruto, take her! I want to have her in the family so I can hold her every night!" She squealed as she engulfed the pink haired girl. "Wait," Ino looked from the boys to Sakura, then back to the boys. "Why is she here?" They all sighed and told Ino the story.

"You poor girl!" Ino cried as she blew her nose in the 156th tissue. "Aw~" Ino cried as she latched onto Sakura once more. She had done this to Sakura numerous times every time a sad part would come. "You boys…are wonderful! Everyone must be proud of you!" They all sweat dropped as they sighed nervously. Sakura, however, continued to stare at Ino. Where had she seen this woman before? Finally, when she couldn't take it anymore. "U-Um…I'm sorry, but…I've seen you before, but I can't remember where…" Ino laughed.

"You probably saw me on the Korean Drama, The Lovely Pair?" Sakura's face lit up. "Yes! That's where!" Once again, the boys sighed. Now there was another person who freaked out over Korean Drama. What a world. "So tell me, Sakura." Ino started to talk as they all sat at a table to eat. "What do you want to be when you get older? A singer, an actor?" Sakura shook her head. "A doctor." She grinned. "I want to help save lives." Ino grinned at the girl's words.

"That's a really amazing dream, Sakura! I wish I could save lives too!" Sakura's face reddened a bit. "Y-Yeah, I guess. But I have to attend medical school for me to be only to become one." They all nodded at her words.

"Then let's start that once school starts again, okay?" Sakura grinned and nodded her head. She felt like these people were her second family.
