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

A bell rang in 'Konoha High' signaling that school had ended. Immediately, students rushed out of the school's front entrance. Some were taking deep breaths of the fresh air, and others were walking with their friends. Naruto did neither of the two, he was too lost in thought about the kiss in the boy's locker room.

'My first kiss...was from Neji!' Naruto thought, repeating the sentence over and over for the last hour and thirty minutes. 'I can't believe that my first kiss was from a boy!' Naruto thought, pulling his spiky hair in frustration. 'It's not like I have a problem with gay relationships, but I always thought I would have my first kiss with a girl!' Naruto thought, glaring at the ground in front of him.

"Naruto?"

Naruto snapped back to reality and looked at the person who called him.

"Hey Gaara!" Naruto greeted cheerfully, grinning at the red-head.

"..." Gaara stood silent, looking at the ground.

"What is it?" Naruto asked, curiosity in his cerulean eyes.

"Do you..." Gaara trailed off, feeling an emotion he hadn't felt in over ten years.

Nervous.

"Spill it." Naruto said, pouting at Gaara who was staring at the ground.

"Do you...Do you want to go to the mall?" Gaara asked, looking at Naruto face to face.

Naruto looked at Gaara with a surprised look on his face. 'Say yes.' Gaara thought, feeling slighty nervous, but hid it with his emotionless mask. 'Woah!' Naruto thought, still having a surprised look on his face. Seems like everyone was full of surprises today. After a few seconds, Naruto gave Gaara a small grin.

"Sorry Gaara, but I have cello lesson in a few minutes. How about tomorrow?" Naruto asked, grinning brightly at Gaara on the last sentence.

Gaara nodded, feeling slightly disappointed, but glad that he and Naruto were going tomorrow. 'Nervous, disappoint, happy.' Gaara thought. 'I never expected to feel emotions ever again.'

"I'll meet you at the entrance of the mall at 3:00 P.M tomorrow! See ya!" Naruto said as he walked and waved at Gaara.

Gaara only nodded to the blonde as he walked off. 'Tomorrow it is then.' Gaara thought as he also walked off. 'That will be the day when I will tell him his whole past.'

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

Naruto stepped in front of 'Kakashi's Music Store' entrance door. He opened the door and stepped in. 'As usual, Kakashi-sensei isn't here.' Naruto thought as he sighed in the empty store. 'Why can't he be on time for once?' Naruto walked towards the door in the back. 'Might as well practice while he's not here.' Naruto thought as he opened the door and entered.

The room was in the back was a storage room for every kind of instument in the world. All the way from Uh from Korean to the famous Sanxian from China. The storage room was, of course, huge. Only employees can enter the room, but Naruto was an exception because no one wanted to wait for an hour for Kakashi to arrive and get their cello.

Naruto went to the back and stood in front of a small see-through glass case. Inside the glass was his cello. Naruto pulled a set of keys from his back pocket and opened the case. He gently grasped the neck of the cello and pulled it out of the case along with the bow.

The blonde walked out of the storage room and sat the cello down near the center of the room. He grabbed a music sheet from his back pack and grabbed a chair and stand. He sat down on the chair and settled the cello between his legs. He tuned his cello and grabbed the music sheets from the ground and sat them on the metal stand.

Naruto began practicing "Brandenburg Concerto No.4 in G major". He immediately sped up after the first note. His eyes were following the notes on the sheets and his fingers were playing on the strings in a slightly fast pace. Three minutes later, Naruto finished playing the music.

"You forgot to rest at the beginning."

Naruto snapped his head up and saw Kakashi leaning against the counter with his 'Icha Icha Paradise' book in his left hand.

"Your late!" Naruto shouted as he pointed at Kakashi.

"Ahh, only a few minutes." Kakashi said, waving at Naruto with his right hand while still reading the orange book.

Naruto looked at the hanging clock and noticed it was 4:05 P.M. 'He's actually not late for an hour today.' Naruto thought, a surprised look in his face.

"Why are you earlier than usual?" Naruto asked, looking at Kakashi with suspicion in his eyes.

"I met a small yellow fox that was sad. So, I came early to cheer him up." Kakashi explained, his visible eye curving. 'A small yellow fox?' Naruto thought, his eyes closed in thinking.

"Anyways, play it again." Kakashi instructed.

Naruto did and was stopped in the middle of a note by Kakashi.

"You forgot to play the notes in bar 58." Kakashi said.

Naruto looked at bar 58. He shifted his fingers down, fingered the first note, and played the rest of the notes on the bar. The blonde accidentally played a wrong note and made a deep screech. Naruto wince at the sound and stopped. He tried to play the note again, but the sound was still a screech.

'What am I playing wrong?' Naruto thought, glaring at the sheet music in front of him. He soon felt someone behind him. He turned around and met eyes with Kakashi. Kakashi grabbed Naruto's left hand that was resting on the neck of the cello and grabbed his other hand that was on the bow. Naruto immediately blushed.

"Place your fingers like this." Kakashi said as he moved Naruto's left fingers down and placed four of his fingers on the D-string.

He moved Naruto's right hand so that the bow moved horizontally, creating a slight high hum from the cello.

"There. Do you know how to do it now?" Kakashi asked, his eye curving.

Kakashi heard nothing from Naruto and felt the blonde stiffen under him. Kakashi turned his head to the side. He noticed scarlet color across Naruto's cheeks and on the tips of his ears. Until then, Kakashi had not noticed the position they were in. Now it was his turn to blush, but it was covered by his mask.

"Naruto."

"Y-Yeah?" Naruto stuttered, now blushing bright red.

Naruto turned his head and looked up at Kakashi. Their faces were close enough that they felt each other's breaths on their cheeks. 'Just like 2 weeks ago.' Naruto thought. Kakashi practically held his breath as he looked at Naruto. His face was totally flushed, his lips were sticking out slightly making a small pout, and his cerulean eyes looked innocently at him. 'He looks so...kissable.' Kakashi thought.

Meanwhile, Naruto felt as if his face was on fire. He looked at Kakashi's masked face. 'I wonder what he is hiding beneath that mask?' Naruto thought curiosly. As if they were magnets, their faces moved closer. Soon, their lips were a few centimeters apart. Naruto felt his heart beating like he was running a marathon.

Then, Kakashi moved his head down and kissed Naruto.

Naruto's eyes widen in shock as he felt the soft cloth of Kakashi's mask press on his lips. Unlike, his first kiss, Naruto instantly felt a pleasent electricity surge throughout his body. 'This feels...good.' Naruto thought. Suddently, the entrance door opened.

Naruto and Kakashi quickly pulled themselves away from each other, but they were too late. A small gasp came from the person in front of them. Naruto blushed in embarressment, while Kakashi stayed cool with his visible eye half-lidded as he looked at the person in front of them. Naruto slowly looked up. As he opened his mouth to talk, he stopped in total shock and slight fear.

Sakura stood in front of him with her emerald eyes widening at what she just saw.

---------------------------------------------------30 minutes ago in Sakura's POV-------------------------------------------------------------

'I can't belive the nerve of that guy!' Sakura thought furiously as she stormed down the sidewalk. 'I am going to pummel that guy to death!' Her inner self shouted in her mind. Sakura completely agreed with her inner self. 'I am NOT a messanger! I am better than this.' Sakura fummed. The people who were jogging or walking in the sidewalks, felt an angry aura coming from the pink-haired girl and quickly ran away from her.

'Yeah, you're a prostitute. Do you think that's any better!' A small voice said harshly in her mind. Sakura wince as if her face was slapped. Yes, Sakura was a prostitute.

-----------------------------------------------------Eight years ago--------------------------------------------------------------

Both Ino and her parents were very poor and both lived in a small trailer, but they never told anyone. So, rumors started going around that they were rich spoiled brats because of their attitude in elementary school. Ino and Sakura completely ignored the rumors and continued normally in school.

Then, something happened.

Their parents said that they have to find another place to live because they couldn't pay the bills. Right then, Sakura wanted to do anything, anything, to help her parents. After a few talks with Ino and her parents, their parents agreed an idea.

They would start an illegal brothel.

It was their only choice. So they had to do it. The problem was, they needed girls in the brothel and they needed a place to work at. So, they rented out a run down apartment and started the business there. Ino and Sakura's mother agreed to work in the brothel. After a few weeks, they managed to buy a townhouse. Soon, Sakura and Ino got almost everything they wanted. Almost. They couldn't get what they wanted the most.

They wanted to stop the sadness that was slowly appearing in their house.

Every time the pink-haired girl walked past the locked bathroom door across the hall, she would always hear her mom crying and scrubbing furiously on something. Sakura knew her mother was scrubbing furiously on her body, but was too naive and innocent to notice then. Weeks past and still, Ino and Sakura's mom continued to work for their family. They soon got rich and were like a happy family, but Sakura noticed something strange in the look in her father's eyes.

It was the look of greed.

A few days past and Sakura started to hear her parents argue every night. One time, she didn't go to sleep and pushed slightly at the door and looked into the small crack. She heard her father talking about making her mother working with more customers and heard her mom about quitting the job and starting a normal one. Her father immediately objected to that, saying that she wouldn't get paid so well and that they still needed money.

"We have all the money we needed! We have a home! We have food to bring at the table! We can be normal people now! What if we get caught by the police?" Those we exactly her mother's words.

"We won't! We haven't been caught once in the last few weeks!" Her father snapped back.

"There might be a chance!" Her mother said.

"Since, when do you care about that now! You weren't thinking about this before we started the businese!" His father said, his patience getting thinner and thinner.

"That was because I was desparate to help rebuild our family! Now that we have a new start for us, we live noramally now."

"That's not enough! We need more money!" Her father bellowed at her mother.

"How can you be so selfish!"

That made her father snapped.

Sakura watched in horror as her mother flew to the wall behind her from a fist on her cheek by her father. Surprise and horror flashed in her mother's face before she slumped unconscience against the wall. Her father slowly walked towards her unconscience mother with anger still in his veins. He curls his fist and raised it to hit her mother again.

"Stop daddy! Don't hit mommy anymore!" Sakura shouted at her father as she burst into the room and ran between her mother and father.

Her father immediately froze and looked at Sakura with a surprised and shocked look in his face.

"Sakura, why aren't you in bed?" Her father demanded, uncurling his fist.

"I wanted...to know what you and mommy are arguing about." Sakura said, feeling fear creep up her spine.

"You should've been in bed!" He father said with a slight force in his voice.

"I know I should have, but if I did go to bed, you would hit mommy again!" Sakura shot back, feeling confidence in her body.

Her father made a small growl in his throat, making Sakura lose the feeling of confidence and gain a shiver up her spine. A few seconds passed in silence. She saw her father take a deep breath and his shoulders relaxed.

"I'm sorry Sakura. I've been stressed for a while." Her father said calmly.

"..."

"Why don't you go to bed? I'll take care of mommy." Her father said in a kind voice.

"No! I'm staying with mommy! I won't let you hurt her!" Sakura as fiercely.

"Sakura..."

"No!"

Her father let out a frustrated sigh.

"Alright. How about if I promise to never hurt mommy again?" Her father asked.

"..." Sakura relaxed slightly at her father's propersal.

"I swear I won't hurt mommy."

"Promise?" Sakura asked.

"Promise."

"Ok..." Sakura trailed off, slowly stepping aside from her father and mother.

Her father gently lifted her mother in his arms and walked off to their room. Sakura yawned and also walked off to her room. A few days past, everything was back to normal. Sakura didn't hear arguements downstairs anymore. Everything was perfect, they were finally a happy family.

Then everything changed.

Sakura and Ino were going to Ino's house to do homework. Once they were in the kitchen, the books in their hands dropped to the ground, making a sound in the silence.

"M-Mama? Ino stuttered at she looked at her and Sakura's mother's body.

Sakra and Ino's mother each had a rope aroung their necks and were hanging from the ceiling. Their bodies were hanging lifelessly in the air. The girls did what any female would do right now.

They screamed.

The next door neighbors immediately ran outside, wondering who was screaming. They went to Ino's house and found Ino and Sakura pale as a ghost and kneeling in fear in front of their dead mothers.

After the police came, Sakura and Ino were holding each other with tears streaming down their cheeks. They were sitting ouside. A few minutes later, their fathers came and asked one of the polices what happened.

"We believe your wives commited suicide." Sakura heard the police said.

Sakura's heart shattered as her and Ino's father said and did nothing. Their face expressions were of shock, but their eyes held no emotions. As if their wives were of nothing to them. It was then she knew.

Ino and her father were not the kind fathers they knew anymore. They were now monsters who were consumed with greed.

After a week since Sakura's mother died, the pink-haired girl hadn't recovered the slightest bit. Ino was the same as Sakura, but she managed to make a small smile for show. Everything was slowly falling apart for them. Then, it just got worse.

"Sakura, can you come in?" Sakura's father asked throught his room.

"Yeah, hold on!" Sakura said as she walked upstairs and into her father's room.

"What is it daddy?" Sakura asked quietly as she stepped in front of her father.

"Sakura...I don't know how to say this, but..." Her father trailed off.

"We need to find you a job."

"...W-What?" Sakura managed to say out.

"I know this is surprising, but since mommy died, we have no one to help bring food to the table." Her father explained.

"But, what about you! Can't you find a job?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Don't you think I already have a job?" Her father said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"That was before mommy died! Since she's gone, how are you going to find...ummm...what was it called. Whores?" Sakura said.

"Easy, you are going to take mommy's place."

"Huh!" Sakura shouted, looking at her father with a shocked look.

"Why can't I take a normal job?" Sakura asked.

"You're going to work with daddy and that's final." Her father commanded.

"Why!" Sakura asked, remembering that her mother said that her job was very bad and that she should never have a job like her's.

"Because I said so! We won't have a lot of money! Do you want to get us back to being poor and losing this house!" Her father said.

"...No." Sakrua said hesitantly.

"Then, it's settled, you are working for daddy now."

----------------------------------------------------------------------End of Flashback-------------------------------------------------

After that, she called Ino about what happened. Ino said that her father said the same thing. That she was working with her father too. At first, they were scared, but now they were use to it. Now, Sakura can get almost everything she wanted now, but she couldn't get what she wanted the most.

Someone to love her.

That's when she met Sasuke. While she was walking down the street in the middle of the night, she was attacked and almost raped. Sakura looked in fear as she saw a knife appear in the person's hand. As the person raised the knife, the person, who was identified as a man, dropped his knife and doubled over in pain. The fell unconscience Sakura looked up and saw a pair of ebony eyes.

She immediately fell in love.

Before, she could say anything, he left. After that, she went to middle school and saw her hero again. She heard his name was Sasuke Uchiha. Then, she was determined that she would get Sasuke because he might be the person who will save her from her father and from the gruesome job. She noticed that she wasn't the only one vieing for Sasuke's attention.

Ino was also chasing him.

That immediately set them from best of friends to rivals. Sakura snapped out if her thoughts and remembered what she needed to do. One of her 'customers' asked her if she would give a note to a guy named Hatake, Kakashi. Sakura just looked at him as if he was dumb.

"THE Hatake, Kakashi here?" Sakura asked.

"He is here. In fact, he has a shop. Here's the address." Her customer said and told her how to get there.

"Once you return from giving him the note, I'll give you something special." The man said, giving a seductive wink at Sakura.

Sakura only forced a polite smile while her inner self rambled about how she was going to pummel that guy. Sakura snapped back to reality and noticed she was in front of a store.

"Kakashi's Music Store." Sakura read the sign above the store.

'So the guy wasn't lying.' Sakura thought. 'But, I'm still going to pummel that guy!' Her inner self shouted in her thoughts. 'Well, lets get over with this and I can go home.' Sakura thought as she opened the entrance door.

----------------------------------------------------------Present------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto felt his body froze in shock as he looked at Sakura with fear in his eyes. 'Damn! Why did it have to be her!' Naruto shouted in his mind. 'Now, she's going to tell everyone about this.' Kakashi stood still, wondering what's going to happen. 'Great.' Kakashi thought sarcastically. 'Someone saw me kiss my student. I'm going to hear lots of people talking about this.' Kakashi thought, letting out a silent sigh.

"Ummm, I'm just here to give a note to Kakashi-san." Sakura said politely as she grabbed a yellow note from her breast pocket.

"Uh, just set it on the counter." Kakashi said, standing up.

Sakura nodded and set the note on the counter. She looked at Naruto who was thinking of gruesome ways that Sakura is going to ruin his life with what she saw. 'I could tell everyone about this at school.' Sakura realized. 'Then Sasuke would be so disgusted of Naruto. Then, he will be with me.' Sakura thought, happy over that thought. 'That would be too cruel.' A voice in the back of her head said. 'Remember, he had a worst life than you.' 'But, what about me? I want a happy ending for me too.' Sakura bit back. 'Sakura, for once. Don't be selfish and do something for someone other than yourself.' The voice said.

"Miss?"

Sakura snapped back from her thoughts and turned to the voice. Kakashi was looking at her strangely, while Naruto shifted uncomfortably.

"Oh, sorry! I should be going now." Sakura said as she walked out of the store.

Naruto sat down his instrument and walked towards Kakashi.

"Umm, Kakashi-sensei..." Naruto trailed off.

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone if you don't." Kakashi said, his eye curving.

"Yeah! Thank you." Naruto said, grinning at Kakashi.

"I got to go! I'll see ya later Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said brightly as he walked out of the store.

Kakashi just waved back.

Once Naruto was out of the store, he ran towards Sakura.

"Hey, Sakura!" Naruto shouted.

Sakura turned around and looked at Naruto. Once Naruto was in front of her, he looked at Sakura with a slight fear in his eyes.

"Look, I know you hate me because you think I was flirting with Sasuke, but I'm not! Sasuke is an arrogant bastard and pigs would fly before I flirt with him. Don't say anything about what happened a few minutes ago. My friends will be all over me about this, and Iruka-sensei will kill me about this. Also-" Naruto rambled, but was cut off.

"Don't worry Naruto. I won't tell anyone." Sakura said.

"You won't?" Naruto said with suspicion, but hope in his eyes.

"I won't." Sakura said.

"Really! Thanks!" Naruto shouted happily, relief in his eyes.

Sakura smiled at Naruto's reaction.

"You know you aren't such a bitch as I thought!" Naruto said.

He suddently felt a dark aura emitted from the pink-haired girl.

"You thought I was a bitch?" Sakura said darkly as she cracked her knuckles in a threatening way.

"Eh...Oh! Look at the time! I got to go see Iruka-sensei. I'll see ya later!" Naruto said as he ran off.

"NARUTO!" Sakura shouted at the running blonde.

Sakura couldn't stop a smile appearing on her face as she watched the blonde run. 'It feels good.' Sakura realized. 'It feels good to see the look of trust or relief coming from someone looking at me.' Sakura thought. 'Maybe, I could be friends with Naruto.'

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

Naruto stood in front of the white hospital entrance, with his hands on his knees panting. 'I got away from Sakura.' Naruto thought, sighing with relief. 'I'm surprised she promised not to say anything about what happened.' Naruto thought. He thought about Kakashi. He lifted his right hand and touched his lips. 'The kiss felt good.' Naruto thought. He immediately blushed at the thought. 'Come on Naruto! He's your cello teacher!' Naruto shouted in his mind.

Taking a deep breath he walked into the hospital and talked to Iruka.
