It's been three weeks since Sakura first made friends with Naruto and with each passing day her confidence began to grow. She skipped over to where the blond and herself usually met, across the swingset and next to the grassy area with the purple wildflowers and the blue benches.
"Sakura-chan!" Sakura heard her blond best, and only, friend calling out to her. He was with a dark-haired kid who seemed to be around her age and seemed to be beckoning the new kid over to follow him as he ran towards her. "Sakura-chan!" He called out again and he picked her up into a tight hug and spun around with her in his arms.
"Naruto-kun, who is-" she couldn't get her question out before the blond began to tug her in his other friend's direction. She almost tripped over her own shoes at the pace he was pulling her.
"Sasuke-teme!" He called to his friend, "Teme! This is Sakura-chan!" He tried to introduce the two when he noticed Sasuke glare at the young rose-haired child.
Sakura noticed the boy's apprehension to her and stilled her feet letting Naruto's hand slip between her grasp. The raven-haired boy glared in her direction and she looked uncomfortably at her feet. "I... I should go, I'll see you later Naruto-san," The young Senju bowed towards the Uzumaki child and ran out of the park towards where she knew Ichijogi would somehow be waiting for her.
The unsettling feeling his friend gave off gnawed at her stomach. She had never seen someone give her such an expression of hatred and she almost wanted to cry. He may be connected to Naruto for life, but she didn't have to face him any time soon. Not when he hated her for no good reason.

"Oi! Teme! Why'd you scare Sakura-chan like that?" Naruto's eyebrows furrowed in frustration. He was finally going to make his two best friends meet each other, but Sasuke's attitude had to go and mess that up. "Why'd you do that to Sakura-chan?" He repeated.
"You didn't tell me she was a Senju," Sasuke argued hushedly. "She isn't a good person." The Uchiha crossed his arms defiantly, he heard his father and other clansmen talk about the Senju before. He knew that they were always up to no good. That's what his Otou-san said and he was always right.
"Her name is Senju Sakura?" the blond questioned. It was then that it clicked in his rather dense skull. "Oh yeah!"
Sasuke snorted at his best friend. How the hell was he stuck with this blond as his best friend?
Oh boy! We've got some clue's about string attachments and how the Uchiha and Senju relationship is going. I hope Sasuke and Sakura can be friends soon. The whole Dai-nana-han relationship needs to form quickly in case they grow apart. ):
Also! Next chapter is going to be extra long! I hope you like it! As you can see, I've added some characters to this story, these show 3 of Sakura's strings, but 1 is still missing. Whole bunch of twists and turns coming this way!
Please review! It gives me encouragement to go on. (:
