Sakura whipped her head around at the sound of a floor board creaking.

She quickly stashed the letters back in their drawer before she dashed for the open window not bothering to close it as she left.

Her swift feet brought her to the edge of the compound where she turned to look at the window.

She watched as Sasuke walked into his old room with a dimly lit candle.

Before she could see any more she decided it would be best if she leave before he saw her.

Once she was a few blocks away her steady run turned into a calm walk.

The moon was high as her feet treaded upon the dirt of the street.

She sighed. 'So my first love will never like me back,' Sakura sorrowfully thought to herself.

The sadness turned into flaming rage.

"HOW DARE HINATA STEAL SASUKE AWAY FROM ME!!!!! I WOULD RATHER INO PIG GET HIM THEN THAT PITIFUL GIRL!" Sakura screamed before she crouched down in a fetal position covering her mouth so she wouldn't wake anyone in the neighboring houses as the tears of anger slid down her face.

Overcome with a sudden urge to sleep Sakura climbed into bed where she tossed and turned before actually falling asleep.

Sakura woke up extra early the next day.

'Time to pay Hinata a visit' she chimed to herself as she tied her headband.

Sakura rapped her knuckles against the large mahogany doors to the Hyuga mansion.

She was hardly standing there for 30 seconds when someone answered to her knock.

She was met by a young girl with white and ever observant eyes. The branch house girl bowed curtly and waited for the guest to speak.

Sakura forced a smile and in the sweetest voice she could muster she said, "Is Hinata chan here?'

"No, the heiress is out training with her teammates at this hour but she will be home shortly," the girl answered.

"Oh well would it be okay if I waited for her in her room then since she'll be home soon," Sakura said tilting her innocently and giving a wide smile.

"I don't see how that would be problem" and with that the branch house member quietly led the unexpected guest to the Heiress' room.

They walked down many hallways with turns so sharp that even though Sakura was a ninja it was hard to keep up with the swift footed girl in front of her.

At long last they came to a long hallway that the led to the only door Sakura had seen in this part of the house.

'For how far we've walked we must be in the back of the house. Sheesh you'd expect that these rich bastards would be able to light up their own house.' Sakura thought with a slight twitch to her brow.

Sakura gasped as soon as the kneeling woman opened the door revealing its contents.

She expected with such a lovely house all the rooms would be furnished to the highest décor.

But what met her unwavering eyes was simple bedroom an orphan would even pity the person it belonged to.

Along side the wall was a thin futon barely half a foot from the floor even though it was folded multiple times.

Further away from the designated 'sleeping area' was a low worn table where the paint was chipping from age.

Sakura started laughing nervously. She glanced back at the maid who was confused to the pink haired kenouchi's sudden change in mood.

"That's a good one," Sakura said with a smile creasing her face, "Is this your room or something? How can anyone besides a slave in this kind of room?" Sakura said to the young girl beside her.

A look of understanding washed over the maid's face, "Oh, she gave up the title of heiress when Hanabi was about to get the seal on her forehead. On one condition though, she be treated as a branch house member. Although she was lucky since she is the first born she won't get the branch house seal," she said moving her thick bangs out of the way revealing the seal she herself had upon her forehead.
