Sakura Seasons

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, I would go nuts and probably do the same things like the previous chapter.

A/N: I guess I've calmed down. Not really, I'm actually really shocked. But I had to do it. I'm so bad… Oh yeah, we are getting so close to ending this fanfic and into the sequel. I'm not having a lot of chapters when they're juniors and seniors.

Chapter 29

Conclusion

Sakura walked on the streets all alone the next morning. She took deep breaths and listened to loud music on her iPod to not think about the previous day. She turned the corner and saw Sayaka walking with Sai.

"Ohayo Sayaka, Sai!" Sakura greeted from the distance, waving her arm.

"Sakura-chan, ohayo!" Sayaka shouted back.

Sakura ran up to them with a bright smile on her face.

"Good to see you happy today and forgetting your past." Sayaka commented.

"Let's go or we'll be late for school." Sakura said, walking.

'I want things to stay this way now. I don't want my life to be involved with him.'

'Are you sure you're doing the right thing?'

'Of course I am. I don't want to be lied to again.'

'Yeah but I know deep inside that you want him back. Onii-chan would surely know how to deal with this.'

Sakura frowned. She tried so hard not to cry again. She remembered what she wrote yesterday in her diary.

.:Entry:.

'Okaa-san, Otou-san and Onii-chan in heaven,

Sasuke got engaged to Karin. He didn't tell me about it. He kept it all a big secret to me. He didn't even apologise to me! I'm not sure who he is anymore. I bet he lied to me all this time. It's getting hard now. I don't want to suffer anymore. So now I've decided to try to keep away from his as much as I can. He didn't even talk to me today. I'll try and hang out with Sayaka tomorrow. She knows how I feel. She's probably got a sadder life than me. Tomorrow I will start a new life. Without him. I'm gonna try to be happy as much as I can live.'

.::End of entry::.

Sakura snapped out of her memory and soon realised that she was at the school gates. People seemed to be crowding round two people. She didn't want to know who it was. She turned the other way and walked up to Hinata and Naruto.

"Ohayo!" Sakura greeted with an authentic smile.

"Huh? Sakura-chan, you're not going to talk with Sasuke?" Hinata asked, bemused.

"Nope. I'm trying to have a life without him so I can be happy as possible." Sakura proudly spoke, walking to her classroom.

"Ohayo Sayaka." Hinata greeted.

"Ohayo…" Sayaka replied back weakly.

"I don't think she's doing the right thing." Hinata moaned.

"She'll have to confront him sooner or later anyway." Sayaka stated, walking to the classroom.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Sakura sat down in her seat in the half empty classroom. She slowly took her books out until people began to talk louder. Sasuke and Karin were coming in the classroom, showing off like they were movie stars. Karin smirked while looking at Sakura's direction.

'Yes! My plan is working!' Karin cheered in her mind.

"Damn, damn, damn, damn!" Sakura quietly cursed to herself.

'Wha-what should I do now? They're coming this way!'

'Just calm down and pretend that you didn't notice them.'

Sakura hesitantly looked down to her desk and textbooks and she pretended to rummage through her bag to look for her pencil. The couple passed, not even acknowledging her. Sakura sighed and got out a pencil from her bag.

Lunch

Sakura opened her bento, sitting alone on a small table in the cafeteria. The chatter people were making got louder as Sasuke was entering the cafeteria. He wasn't with Karin which made everyone confused and murmur even louder. He seemed to be going into Sakura's direction. Sakura panicked. She quickly packed up her lunch and stood up.

"Wait, Sakura!" Sasuke called out, running up to the table.

Sakura panicked some more and hurriedly left the cafeteria.

"Damn!" Sasuke cursed, looking at the direction she left.

Sakura breathed heavily, tears nearly falling out.

'Why was he after me? Did he come to make me even miserable?'

'By the look of it, you shouldn't have run or your curiosity would lead to this. And now you're crying. See what I mean?'

'Everything's so hard! I don't even know if I can make it as a junior. I'll probably be happier when I'm a senior.'

'Don't boast about that! People are worrying about you! Look I have an idea if this goes on when you're still a senior and we're almost splitting up for university.'

'What is it?'

'Something that you should know when we get to that time. Now eat. You're getting hungry.'

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"So Sakura how was your day without Sasuke?" Sayaka asked.

"It was actually… alright… I guess…" Sakura replied.

Sayaka just blinked. Sakura felt heavy at that moment. She wasn't even sure if she was alright. Her face changed which made Sayaka worry.

"Do you wanna talk about this?" Sayaka asked.

"I… I don't know…" Sakura replied.

"Well I'll just take that answer as a yes."

Sayaka pulled Sakura's arm to a familiar place. They showed up at the park and they sat down on the swings. Several minutes passed after talking to each other. Sakura just sighed. She had nothing to do with her life now.

"If you don't want to get involved with Sasuke, just study." Sayaka advised.

Sakura looked up. "Huh?"

"You wanted to be a doctor well now's your chance to study for it. At least you have a good future ahead of you." Sayaka smiled.

Sakura smiled back. "Everyone helped me so much. I wish I could repay you."

"Don't worry about that. The important thing is that we're all still friends." Sayaka assured, standing up.

"Do you wanna go home now?" Sayaka questioned.

Sakura proudly nodded and stood up.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"Ohayo, Sayaka!" Sakura greeted as she walked up to the said girl.

"Huh? Where's Sai?" Sakura asked, looking around.

"He's sick so he can't go to school for a week." Sayaka replied.

"Now come on, we're gonna be late asking Tsunade-sama." Sayaka smiled, pulling Sakura towards the school.

'Yup, I want things to be like this now.'

'But how about the rest?'

'Huh? Oh yeah, they haven't been talking a lot to me lately.'

'They probably understand what you're going through right now so I guess they're giving you some space.'

'You're right…'

'Holy crap! Hoe the hell did we get into the office that quick?!'

'It's called losing track of time.'

"So Sakura, you want to be my apprentice?" Tsunade asked which made Sakura snap out of her conversation with her inner.

"H-hai." Sakura replied blandly.

"Alright then." Tsunade leaned forward. "Be in the nurses' office at lunch break today."

"I will. Thank you." Sakura brightly smiled, standing up and heading for the door.

'Nothing is gonna ruin my dream!'

Sakura hummed a happy tune and appeared at the classroom door. She skipped to her seat and got her books out. Sasuke and Karin also arrived in the classroom. This time everyone where whispering to each other with a strange expression on their faces. Sayaka stopped as soon as she got to the door. She then walked over to Sakura's desk.

"What's up with the change of mood around here?" She asked, sitting down.

"Dunno. Everyone's talking about something else now.

"Sakura, Sakura, Sakura!" A familiar voice entered the room.

Ino marched off to her desk and placed her hands on the table.

"I so cannot believe that Tsunade-sama is gonna teach you! I mean I heard she was one of the best doctors in Konoha a long time ago." Ino blabbed.

"Okay, who the hell spreads the news round here?" Sakura asked.

"Practically my source was Naruto. I dunno how he got the info. Everyone knows about it now. Oh it's nearly time for class. See you later!" Ino waved before skipping out.

Sakura got totally livid. She held out her fist and a dark aura took over. She stood up and marched to Naruto's class.

"Oh god… I have a bad feeling about this.

Naruto's classroom

Naruto proudly smirked and nodded his head.

"Yep, that's what happened. I know it all." Naruto said, showing off.

What he didn't know that someone was out to get him.

"NARUTO!!!!" A furious voice called out.

"Huh?" Naruto looked around.

-PUNCH!!!-

"Don't spread the damn news about me idiot!" Sakura angrily shouted.

Naruto lay on the floor with a massive nosebleed.

"S-Sakura, you didn't have to go that far…" Hinata remarked.

"Oh so if I do something embarrassing he's gonna spread the news like chicken pox and would you think I would be fine with that?" Sakura said.

"You got a point…"

"Hinata-chan, help me…" Naruto groaned in pain, raising his arm up.

"Naruto quit it. You'll survive anyway it's just an ordinary nosebleed." Sakura coldly replied back, slapping the arm back down to the floor.

Sakura muttered some curses while leaving the surprised classroom.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"N-Naruto, that idiot." Sayaka stated, holding her chopsticks.

"He was fine anyway. All he needed to do was wash out all the blood since it stopped bleeding." Sakura explained, eating sushi.

"So Tsunade-sama had to cancel the training today?"

"Yup. There was someone who fell down the stairs so she couldn't just hang around with me."

'Yup. I want things to be like this every single day. No Sasuke, no fangirls to worry about and all that kind of stuff I used to bawl about.'

'But you must admit. Those times were fun… and scary…'

'I want to at least lead a normal life.'

'Too late. You already got yourself tangled up with Karin's plans. What could happen in the future anyway?'

'Whatever. Shut up, I'm hungry.'

'So what, you can talk to me while eating.'

'But I want to talk to Sayaka.'

'Yeah but still you can talk to us both.'

'It's not like she can read my mind so she can join the conversation.'

'Oh cool, she has onigiri. Ask for one, you know you want one.'

'Fine you win.'

'I always do.'

'No you don't'

'Yes I do.'

'This is all going well. See I want things this way.'

'Well stop saying it because I already know.'

'But you don't pay attention.'

'Hey look, it's Naruto.'

'What's he doing?'

'Whoa, he just fell off that tree.'

'Do you think I should help him?'

'Nah leave him alone. This is good to watch anyway.'

Sakura Seasons – Sakura's New Life

"Let's see… which class am I in now…" Sakura slowly said, reading her timetable carefully.

"YES!!!" Sakura cheered, hugging Sayaka.

"We're in the same classes again." Sakura smiled.

"Why do you like her better than us?" Ino moaned with her hands on her hips.

"Dunno. I've gotten accustomed to her." Sakura excused.

"By the way, how are the fashion classes going with Emi?" Sakura asked, jumping subjects.

"It's going GREAT!! I didn't know Emi-sempai had such a good fashion sense!" Ino squealed, skipping away to her class.

"Ino will always be the same." Sakura stated.

"Yeah…" The rest agreed.
