Hello.

Here's chapter four.

I do not own Naruto.

Happy reading.

Sakura walked past the black iron gates of the school with her hands wrapped around the strap of her bag in front of her.

Two girls who were in their second year of high school ran past her. "Hurry, the assembly is starting soon," one said to the other.

Sakura walked through the front doors, making her way down the step and to the shoe lockers. She opened the small door and took out another pair of white shoes and placed them on the floor next to her. Sakura slipped one foot out of her black penny loafers and slipped it into the other. Once she had her penny loafers off, Sakura placed them in the small locker.

The school was somewhat empty as she walked the halls towards the auditorium. When it came to assemblies, everyone came earlier than usual just to see the Judo club show off a little before Tsunade would start.

"Sakura," Takahashi said as he ran up to her.

"Yes, Sensei?" Sakura watched him as he grabbed her bag from her hands and grabbed her arm, dragging her faster to the auditorium.

"Jiro is not here yet and we need you to perform a song so it could attract students to come to the performance tonight." Takahashi opened the double doors and dragged Sakura down the aisle and towards the back of the stage. She could feel the students' eyes watching them.

They were hidden behind the red curtain as Takahashi still held her bag and handed her a violin. "Go out there and perform something." Takahashi pushed Sakura towards the center of the stage.

She stood in the dark; her heart racing for some source of light to appear before her.

And soon enough, the lights above her turned on.

"Haruno, Sakura will be performing a piece for you. Enjoy," a voice called throughout the auditorium.

The curtains opened.

Sakura froze, slowly inhaling and exhaling from her mouth.

"Is she going to play?" Voices were heard from the audience.

Sakura slowly placed the violin under her chin and the bow on the strings.

She began to play.

She started off slow then began to pick up the pace. Although this song was only played for a piano, it sounded just as beautiful on a violin.

Sakura has never loved a song so much as this one, and she has never loved playing music so much until she first heard it many years ago. She closed her eyes and let the music flow from the violin. She slowly stopped playing, opened her eyes, and placed the violin and bow at her sides, bowing towards the audience and walked back behind the curtains.

Claps were heard, as were some shouts.

Sakura handed Takahashi the violin and bow, taking her bag back in her hands. "That was great!" Takahashi smiled. "Now we might have more students coming to tonight's performance."

Sakura's heart never stopped racing as she bowed again and walked off stage and found a seat in the front row. This was the first time Sakura has ever performed in front of the whole school, and the first time the whole school has heard someone from orchestra perform.

OoO

Sakura sat in her seat, her bag in her lap, and took in a deep breath. Finally the assembly was over and school was starting. After Ichi—a blonde haired, blue eyed boy—took attendance and made announcements, Anko walked in.

Anko had light brown eyes. Her violet hair is done up in a short, somewhat spiky ponytail. She always wore a tan overcoat that covered what was hidden under it. Sometimes, when it wasn't closed, Sakura could see a fitted mesh body suit that stretches from her neck down to her thighs. She also had a dark orange mini-skirt, a small pendant that looks like a snake fang on a thick cord rather than a chain, and a wrist watch. Sakura could also see a dark blue belt around her waist that connects to her skirt that has an appendage-like sash.

Sakura stood up, along with the rest of the class and bowed before sitting back down to start class.

Once Anko ended class, she left the room, letting everyone talk amongst themselves as they waited for Asuma to come. Time continued slowly as Asuma left as did every other teacher—Kakashi, Iruka, Guy—to which Sakura had to go outside for physical education—and Kurenai. Finally it was down to the last class, orchestra with Takahashi.

Sakura stood up with the rest of the class, bowed, and walked out of the classroom with everyone else. As the rest of the students went to the art room, Sakura was the only one who went to the auditorium for orchestra.

Today she was going to practice a little more on her music and help set up anything else that is needed to be helped with, just for this one night.

Sakura began to move towards the wall as she watched a class walk down the hallway—most likely making their way towards the gym Sakura assumed. "Did you hear? Sasuke's going to the performance tonight!"

Sakura froze and turned to look at the class that continued to walk down the hall.

"I guess more people will come," she muttered to herself as she continued down the hallway towards orchestra class.
