Chapter 7 is now up! cheers Now I know everyone is wondering what's going on with Sakura. Well let's find out

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, if I did Naruto would already kick Sasuke's butt and bring him back to Konoha and he would get with Sakura :D

But I do own Kaoru, that bastard

Last Time on BITL

"You were the two that helped me with the rice this morning. Thank you once again and for walking my daughter back home" The woman they helped this morning appeared.

"Well, time to come in now….Mizuki" Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widened as Naruto snapped attention to Sakura. Sakura stared at the ground, not daring to look at them.

Misa looked up at Sakura then back at Naruto and Sasuke.

"Come on Mizuki…" Tears formed in Sakura's eyes. "Mizuki, what's wrong? Come, I have dinner prepared for you and your cousin"

Sakura looked back up at Naruto and Sasuke before turning around to enter the house. Misa looked back to see Naruto and Sasuke still confused.

"I'll tell you about it tomorrow. Meet me at Ino's flower shop tomorrow at one." Misa said as she followed after Sakura. Sakura looked backed outside giving them one last look, before closing the door.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto and Sasuke stood in front of the house, shocked at the scene that happened a few minutes ago.

"M-Mizuki?" Naruto finally whispered. Naruto looked up to see that Sasuke had begun to walk away from the house. "Oi, Teme!" Naruto began to chase after him.

Misa watched from her room above as she watched the two friends run away from the house.

Misa heard footsteps as she saw Sakura walking in the hall.

"Mizuki-chan!" Mrs. Haruno said.

"…" Sakura stopped in her steps.

"Mizuki-chan?" Mrs. Haruno called again.

Sakura clenched her fists. "…Yes mother?"

"Can you be a dear and prepare dinner for us and your cousin?"

"Sure…" Misa watched as Sakura walked down the stairs. Misa frowned as she looked back out the window.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Ino-chan!" Misa said as she entered Ino's flower shop. Ino was currently watering some tulips. Ino looked up to see Sakura's cousin.

"Misa-chan?" Ino looked behind her to see if Sakura was with her. "Where's Sakura?"

"She's at home taking care of her mom" Misa said. Ino frowned as she put the water can on the ground.

She began to wipe her hands with her apron. "How is she?"

"She's st-"Misa paused as the door to the flower shop opened.

"Oi!" Naruto said as Sasuke followed after him.

"You guys made it" Misa said. "Did you guys have lunch yet?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was shining as people walked around town. Misa stared outside the window while stirring her spoon around her coffee. Sasuke was staring at his reflection in his tea as Naruto stayed quiet. The three had finished their lunch and now was silent.

"So what's going on with Sakura…?" Sasuke finally asked breaking the silence. Naruto had finally looked up as Misa stopped stirring her coffee and stared into Sasuke's eyes before sighing.

"It all began when Sakura was ten years old…." Misa said as she closed her eyes to remember.

Flashback

"Onee-chan, Onee-chan!" Misa turned around to see her favorite cousin Sakura running up to her. Sakura had grabbed her hand and began pulling her towards the hospital.

"What's going on Sakura-chan?" Misa asked. Sakura's eyes were watery as she continued to pull her older cousin to the hospital.

"Something is wrong with mommy!" Sakura cried out."D-Daddy had to take her to the hospital" Sakura began to cry. Misa bent down to Sakura's level.

"It's okay, don't cry. I'm sure she's gonna be alright" Misa said.

End of flashback

"After we reached the hospital, we found out that my aunt had a miscarriage and had lost the baby. I continued to stay with Sakura for another year. As the year past, many events happened. Sakura's father had left them and made a new family. During the miscarriage, my aunt began to have side effects from it. It was when Sakura was thirteen that it began to happen" Misa said as she took a sip of her coffee

"What does that have to do with Sakura-chan's mother and the whole Misuki thing!" Naruto yelled. Mizuki glared at him as she kicked his seat from under the table, thus making him fall backwards.

"I'm not done yet you twerp!" Misa said. "I don't even know how Sakura can put up with you two. Anyways, after Sakura became a genin, things began to change."

Flashback

Misa and Sakura had heard the door open.

"Hey mom!" Sakura called out. Misa watched as her aunt had walked up behind Sakura and hugged her.

"Mizuki, I missed you so much!" Her mother said as Sakura's eyes had widened.

End of Flashback

"Who's Mizuki?" Sasuke asked. Misa made a sigh before answering.

"Mizuki…Mizuki was what my aunt and uncle were planning to name their second child. It seemed that my aunt was still traumatized by the problem. The result was her beginning to call Sakura Mizuki. It hurt Sakura so much. It was as if Sakura never existed to her mother. Soon Sakura had to play as Mizuki for the longest time"

Naruto's eyes widened as Sasuke frowned. Sakura seemed so happy that you couldn't imagine something like this happening to her.

"Soon I had to go back home and left Sakura to take care of her mom. I don't know how Sakura felt coming back home but she told me she had you guys to make her better." Misa said with a sad smile.

Sasuke began to feel the guilt of how he used to treat Sakura back in the days. Naruto was upset that Sakura could hide something like this from him.

"I thought we're best friends" Naruto thought.

"But she told me that after you…," Misa said looking at Sasuke. "…had left the village and he left to train with some guy, she moved out of the house because she couldn't take it anymore. So Tsunade-sama had to take care of her mother yet understood how Sakura felt. But now I came back to help her."

"Is there no way to help Sakura-chan's mother?" Naruto asked. "Can't Tsunade-baachan do something?"

"Tsunade tried all she could, but not even she could help her" Misa said with a sigh. "All we can do is pray and hope that my aunt's condition will get better"

"So if Sakura's mother was being taken care of by the Hokage, why did Sakura have to move back in with her mother?" Sasuke asked.

"Because my aunt's condition had gotten worse, so she can't be living by herself anymore. Well now you know…" Misa said as she got up.

"W-Wait!" Naruto called out. Misa continued to walk pass them. While passing Sasuke she said something only he could hear.

"Don't hurt her anymore than you already have, she won't be able to take it…" Sasuke's eyes widened as he turned around to see Misa had already left the café.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaoru walked around the village as he saw a familiar bird flew to him.

"Hello?! What's this?" Kaoru said as he took the note from the bird's claws. Looking around, Kaoru began to untie the black ribbon as he began to make hand signs. He soon began to read the letter aloud.

Kaoru

I'm surprised to be getting a letter from you. It's been years since I've last seen you.

So you're at Konoha huh? I'll be there in a few days, probably this Thursday. Let's see what trouble we'll create next.

-love Arisa

Kaoru smirked as he read the last sentence. "We'll see…" Today was Tuesday. In two days, he's long time friend would come to visit.

'This will be interesting…' Kaoru thought as he rolled the scroll back and put it in his pocket. Kaoru soon walked away from the scene. Unknown to him, a certain artist was drawing and had heard the whole thing.

"Seems trouble is coming to Konoha…." He said with a smirk. "Things are about to get interesting around here."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was quiet at the Hyuga compound as Neji Hyuga and Shikamaru Nara were walking down the halls. They had just finished a game of Shougi. They were passing through the halls that led to Hinata's room. What they heard made them stop.

"Damn it!" A voice yelled from Hinata's room. Shikamaru and Neji had stopped in their tracks as they faced the door.

"That sounded like Tenten…" Neji thought. He walked up to the door as he pressed his ears against the door trying to hear what was going on. Shikamaru followed after

"Harder Tenten! Harder!" Another voice was heard in Hinata's room.

"That's Sakura's voice" Shikamaru said. The two could feel their faces turn red as they continued to listen. Shuffling and thumping was heard.

"I am! I am!" Tenten answered. Unclean thoughts entered their minds.

"T-Tenten-chan, you're hurting her!" Hinata's voice could be heard.

"No, not until I'm done. I'm almost there!" Tenten replied.

Shikamaru had turned red as heard a thump to the floor. He looked to see that Neji had fainted as blood was dripping from his nose.

A bang was heard as if someone had hit the wall.

"Sakura-chan! Are you okay" Hinata asked.

"I'm sorry Sakura-chan!" Tenten cried out. "You told me harder"

Shikamaru held his nose as blood began to drip. He too had fallen to the floor.

(A/N: Haha sorry, I couldn't resist X)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thump.

The girls' eyes widened as they heard someone fall.

"What was that?" Sakura asked. Tenten went to check it out with Hinata. Sakura looked down at her hand with the ring. Tenten had tried with all her strength to pull it out but it didn't work. She sighed. Not even Tsunade with her strength could pull this darn ring out.

"Nii-san, Shikamaru!" Hinata cried out. Sakura went over to see Shikamaru and Neji knocked out with blood dripping down their face.

Sakura went to heal the two. They soon woke up.

"You two okay?" Sakura asked. Embarrassed, the two silently nodded not want to explain the cause of their nose bleeds. "Well take care, don't want to find you guys on the floor again"

"C-Can we ask you a question?" Shikamaru asked. Sakura tilted her head a bit. Shikamaru continued. "What were you three doing in the room?"

"Oh, she was trying to take this ring out of my hand. It's stuck." Sakura simply said leaving Shikamaru and Neji wondering how they became so perverted.
