Everyone was at school and it was lunch time.
"So, you busy today Sakura-chan?"asked Ino.
"Yeah, sorry"said Sakura."Your hanging out with Sasuke?"asked Derick.
"Well of course she is!That's the only reason for why she's busy, she will be too busy spending time with her boyfriend.Where are you guys going anyway?"asked Ino.
"We didn't make any plans"said Sasuke confused.
"Huh?Then, why did you say your busy?"Ino asked Sakura.
"My parents are coming to visit"Sakura said softly."Oh"said Ino.
"Yeah,(sigh)I haven't seen them in a few months.They called me yesterday and said they were coming here to have a talk with me,face to face"said Sakura.
"Good luck with that!"said Ino.
"What time are they coming?"asked Darien.
"About half an hour after school ends"said Sakura.
"Oh, I hope everything goes well"said Skyler.
"Yeah"said Sakura.
...At The End Of The ScHooL dAy...
Sakura and Sasuke were at the front of the school talking, everyone else had left.
"You nervous about seeing them after all this time?"asked Sasuke.
"A bit"said Sakura.
"Don't worry, I'm sure that it will all go fine.I'll call you up later to see how things turned out.Bye Sakura,I love you"said Sasuke as he kissed her on the lips.
When he pulled back she said "Thanks, and okay bye Sasuke-kun, I love you too."
They walked their separate ways, into their cars and rode home.
When Sakura rrived her home she saw her parents already waiting for her.
'I must have been talking to Sasuke-kun longer than I thought'thought Sakura.
"Hey mom, hey dad"said Sakura softly.
"Sakura"said Sakura's mom smiling as she hugged Sakura, Sakura hugged her back."Mom!Aren't you guys mad at me?"asked Sakura.
"We're a bit disappointed in you but, we can't stop you from doing what you want to, no matter how much it's destroying your future"said her father.
"It's not destroying my my future!And I have my reasons for why I do this!Yo just never take the time to listen to me.You never took the time to listen to me!You always ignored me, both you and mom!"said Sakura as tears started running down her face.
'What are they doing here anyway?Do they want to tell me how stupid I am to be a gang leader?That's all they ever told me!That I'm stupid and never will be successful in life if I continue being a dumb gang leader!'thought Sakura.
"That's not true"said her father.
"Yes it is!Every time I tried telling you something you said you don't want to hear my excuses or your too busy!"said Sakura.
Her father stayed quiet, he knew that what she was saying was true.
"Fine, then now that you have the chance, tell us what your reasons are"said Sakura's mother.
"Let's go inside"said Sakura as she opened the door of her house.
They walked to her living room to talk there.
"Why do you choose to be a gang leader?You just want to rob and kill?!"asked her father.
"NO!That's far from it!Just let me explain!"said Sakura.
"Don't raise your voice at us young lady!"said her father.
"Just let her talk"said Sakura's mother.
"I became a gang leader for protection.I was always bullied when I was small, and I couldn't defend myself.Naruto-kun,my best friend, was also bullied but,i could never do anything to help.I wanted to change that, I didn't ever want to see someone precious to me be hurt and I didn't want to be stepped on anymore.So, I became a gang leader, not to harm others but, just so I can be able to protect myself and those I care about"said Sakura.
"But,your in a group fighting!Againast dangerous people!Why do you like starting fights?"asked her father.
"I DON'T!If someone starts with me,if they lay a hand on me, that's when I fight"said Sakura.
"You fight,only when your provoked?"asked her mother.
"Yeah, I have been trying to tell you guys this for the past seven years!Did you ever listen to me?No, you avoided me!"said Sakura crying.
"I'm so sorry Sakura,we never took the time to listen to you,I know that now.I feel so bad,I'm a terrible mother.Don't worry, I approve of this now that I know your reason."said Sakura's mother as she went over to Sakura and hugged her.
"Is this really the reason?"asked her dad surprised.
"Yeah, I would never do something just to rob from people and kill them.That's not me, I'm not like that, I'm not a cold heartless person dad, you should know how I am, I'm your own daughter!"said Sakura.
"(sigh)I guess your right, it's just girls can get really hurt if they're in a gang and I never thought girls could be a gang leader especially not my own daughter.You were in a gang since you were like nine year sold or something it started as a group but, you all always considered yourself as a gang"said her father.
"Yeah but, I'm a gang leader and I will continue being one, with your approval or without it"said Sakura.
"Don't worry like your mother, I approve now that I know your true intentions."said her father smiling at her, Sakura smiled back.
Her parents finally knew the truth, they finally approved of what she did.
'My life can be a lot better now.Except for the fact that Gaara,Zaku,and Sai wont leave me alone'thought Sakura.
"Um is that what you guys came here for?"asked Sakura.
"No, actually,um the discipline school you went to, well they're mad because of all the things you did and everything you destroyed"said Sakura's mother.
"And your point is...?"asked Sakura.
"The point is that they want you to fix everything y, paying for all the damage, and they want you to start going to the discipline school again but, they want you to behave like your suppose to so you can make up for everything that you have done"said Sakura's mother.
'That would mean being separated from my band again but, now I got a boyfriend too!What the hell?!I'm not doing this and I wont behave because I don't want to go!'thought Sakura.
"I'm not going"said Sakura.
"What are you talking about dear?You have to go, or they will put you in the juvenile detention center thing or they might even put you in jail since your nearly an adult!"said Sakura's mother.
'Say what?!Jail?!What the fuck?!Just because I disrespected the teachers and didn't behave in class?!'thought Sakura shocked.
"No, there's no way.Mom, there must be some mistake, why would they put me in jail just for that?!Is there any other way I can make up for it?!"asked Sakura.
"I'm not sure but, you have to go back because right now, that's the oly way I know of how they wont put you in jail or anything"said Sakura's mother.
"This is ridiculous, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!"Sakura said angrily.
'This doesn't even make sense!Can they really do that?!'thought Sakura.
"I'm sorry Sakura but that's what they told us"said Sakura's father.
"IF I go back there how long would I have to stay and when would I have to start?"asked Sakura.
"You would have to stay there for a year and five months.And you would have to start going in the very beginning of May"said Sakura's father.
"What?!But, that would mean that i can't graduate!I need to graduate High School!"said Sakura.
"I know, that's why they're going to make you get left back and start over twelfth grade again"said Sakura's mother.
"This is stupid!There must be some other way because I am not doing this!"said Sakura.
"It's better than being in jail for seven months!"said her father.
"I'm not a criminal, I shouldn't be put in jail, I didn't do anything!Why do they always end up sending some innocent people to jail!It's not right!"said Sakura.
"Oh so now it's our fault that you were bad in discipline school so they believe you should go to jail?!"asked her father.
"No but, it's YOUR FAULT THAT I HAD TO GO TO THAT STUPID SCHOOL IN THE FIRST PLACE!"yelled Sakura.
Her parents looked shocked at her.
Sakura looked away guilty.
"Sorry, I just-, it's just-,I don't want to be separated from my friends again!And I don't want to repeat the same grade again!There must be some other way!I can't do this but, I don't want to go to jail!Why couldn't you guys just listen to me back then?!This could have been avoided!"said Sakura.
"We're sorry Sakura but, you need to go, until we find another way, just be ready to go to discipline school in about four months"said Sakura's mom.
Angry tears rolled down Sakura's face.
How was she going to tell her gang?How was she going to tell Sasuke?How was she going to tell anybody?She only had four months left of being with them.She didn't want to feel the pain of leaving them for nearly two years!They can't be serious!
She didn't want to tell them, she didn't even want to look at them because, then when she left she would be way to sad and depressed.
'I need to try to have some space for myself.If I get way to close to them, closer than I already am, I might just die knowing that I have to leave them'thought Sakura sadly.
"We will call you once we find out anything sweetie but, we need to go"said Sakura's mother.
They kissed her on the cheek and left.
Sakura ran upstairs into her room crying into her pillow.
'WHY THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME?!I can't tell Sasuke-kun, I just can't,should I break up with him?I can't tell my gang either, they will be so upset knowing that I have to leave them again but, for a longer time!'thought Sakura.
'You better not break up with Sasuke-kun!They might find another way!You never know!'said Inner Sakura.
RING-RING-RING
Sakura looked at the caller ID and saw that Sasuke was calling her.
'He told me he would call me later to check up on things.Damn, he's too sweet, I love him!But, I can't talk to him just yet, I don't think I ever can, not until I know for sure that I wont have to go to jail and I wont have to leave for a year and a half!'thought Sakura.
Tears were rolling down her face.
She finally got a boyfriend, and she loved him, and right when they finally get together, she finds out she needs to leave him in a few months.
She grabbed her phone and threw it at the wall.
With Sasuke
He kept trying to call her.
'Why aren't you picking up your phone?'thought Sasuke angrily.
He called her five times,she didn't pick up.
'I told her that I would call her, so she should have her phone just in case.Why wont she pick up my calls?!Did something happen to her?'thought Sasuke concerned.
"She should at least call me back.If I see her all well tomorrow, I'm going to get mad.I'm worrid about what could have happened to her yet, she can't answer my calls or at least call me back?!"Sasuke said to himself.
He left his phone aside and decided to take a cold shower.
With Sakura
'He's probably going to get mad because I didn't pick up.(sigh)Oh well,I guess I will have to deal with his yelling tomorrow'thought Sakura.
She didn't even feel like going to school tomorrow but, she knew that she had to.
She went to sleep thinking about what her parents had told her.
...The Next morning...
Everyone except for Sakura was sitting on the steps, they were waiting for Sakura to come.
"Does anyone know what happened to Sakura yesterday?"asked Sasuke.
"No, why?"asked Darien."She didn't pick up any of my calls, she didn't even call back or anything"said Sasuke.
"She didn't pick up for any of our calls either!"said Derick.
"Do you think something happened with her parents?"asked Naruto.
"Did she talk to anyone yesterday after school?"asked Sasuke.
"Nope"said Ino.
"Nu uh"said Tenten."I haven't heard a single word from her"said Hinata.
"Nope, I tried calling her but the little cherry blossom didn't answer"said Skyler.
"I told her I would call her later on yesterday, she told me she would tell me everything that happened.So, why didn't she answer any of my calls?!"asked Sasuke frustrated.
"Ask her when she comes"said Kiba.
With Sakura
Sakura took her time on getting to school.
She parked her car in the school's parking lot, like she always did and slowly walked to the front of the school, a bit nervous actually.
She avoided looking at anyone int he eyes, she just sat on the bottom ont he steps away from them, because they were sitting on the top.
'SAKURA?!'thought Sasuke.
He went down the steps quickly and sat next to her.
"Sakura, what happened?!Why didn't you answer any of my calls?!Why didn't you call back?What happened?Did your parents do anything?"asked Sasuke.
"No,they finally listened to me, and they approve of me you know, as being a gang leader"Sakura said softly.
"That's great!Wait, that's good news so, why didn't you pick up my calls or anything?I was worried!I thought something happened to you!"said Sasuke.
"Nothing happened Sasuke, I'm fine"said Sakura.
'SASUKE?What happened to the -Kun suffix?!What the hell?!'thought Sasuke.
"Well, I called you yesterday and you didn't answer"said Sasuke.
"I know that you called me Sasuke, I saw your name on the caller ID.I know that I didn't answer you"said Sakura.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!What is wrong with you?!"asked Sasuke angrily.
"I don't want to talk"said Sakura.
"Why wont you look at me in the eyes?!Are you hiding something?"asked Sasuke.
I don't want to talk right now Sasuke, please leave me alone"said Sakura as she got up, without sparing a single glance at anyone, and walked inside the school.
'What the hell just happened?!And why is she so different from yesterday?Why wont she tell me what happened?Why wont she look at anyone?Why did she seem so...sad?Her parents approved of what she was doing so, why wasn't she happy?'so many thoughts were running through Sasuke's head.
Nothing made any sense to him.
"So, she knew that we called her but, she didn't pick up?"asked Skyler confused.
'Why would she do that?"asked Jesse.
Everyone was confused with Sakura's actions.
"I think something happened, and she isn't telling us about it but, what could it be?"asked Kiba.
"She usually tells everything, no matter how bad it is"said Darien.
"We shouldn't ask her any questions.Leave her for a while, she needs some time alone"said Hinata.
"But, Sakura-chan isn't usually like this.I wonder what happened to her.I know it has something to do with her parents but, why wont she tell us?We're her friends and she usually ends up telling one of us anyway'said Naruto.
'Sakura,what's going on?And why wont you tell me?'thought Sasuke.
Sasuke was a bit hurt because Sakura didn't tell him what was wrong.
'Did I do something?'thought Sasuke.
He sighed out in frustration.'I want to know what happened, I want to be able to help her'thought Sasuke.
"We should go in guys, the bell will ring soon enough"said Shino.
"(sigh)Yeah"said Sasuke as he got up from his spot on the steps.
They all entered the school and went to their first period class.
