Thanks so much for the reviews, faves and likes. It's nice to know people still like what a write. It give me courage when I think about how much time has passed since I shared my imagination with you. On with Chapter 3!

Chapter 3

Ino's P.O.V.

We all watched as Sakura ran out of the cafeteria in a panic. She didn't seem to hear Naruto when he called after her. I wondered what was wrong. I shoved it away and turned my attention to the others.

"You guys all smelled her right? She has the scent. She must be the one dad was talking about who moved back to Konoha". They all nodded, even Karin. Though hers was more of a scowl.

Hinata was tapping her fingers together and shifting uncomfortably in her seat. She obviously had something she wanted to say but was unsure if she should say it at all.

"What's wrong Hinata"? I asked quietly. Her head snapped up and she met my steady gaze. "I don't know if you guys remember or ever even met them, but I did when I was two. Sakura looks exactly like Satsuki Haruno". My eyes widened. I'd never met anyone from the once prestigious Haruno clan but we've all heard the stories before. They used to be one of the strongest clans around. On par with the Uchiha and Hyuga, but that was a long time ago. Almost sixteen years ago.

A couple years after the birth of the clan heads first child someone attacked them. The person who did it totally wiped them out. In a single night they were all killed.

Only two were said to have survived and that is only because their bodies were never found. The sister of the clan heads wife Satsuki and her only child.

But that was just a false hope! Our families spent years looking for them and no trace was ever found. After awhile we just assumed the killers caught up with them and took them out as well.

"Hinata you know as well as I do that they were killed. Besides wasn't Sato's child a boy"? Hinata shook her head.

"No the child was a girl. My mother was best friends with Satsuki. I met her twice before they were killed. Though I never met her child I'm pretty sure it was a girl". She stated sadly. Then Naruto decided to but in.

"Even if their kid is still alive I don't think its Sakura-Chan. Her last name is Senju not Haruno". He brought up a good point. It couldn't be her then.

The rest of lunch passed by with no signs of Sakura returning. I had P.E. next and I know she did too. In her haste she'd left all her things behind. Even her phone! Whatever she's doing must be really important to leave her phone behind.

I gathered her things up and slipped her phone into my bag and went to my next class.

Sakura's P.O.V.

I started at Kakashi's class. This was the last place I remember having the necklace so it makes sense.

Luck was with me. The light was on a and he was in the classroom. I glanced around the room. He appeared to be alone. I don't want to disturb him if he's busy.

I slide the door open and he looks up from his desk a small smile on his face. "Ah Sakura. Is there something I can do for you? Is something wrong"? He add as an after thought.

"Sensei have you found anything in here? I lost something and it's very important to me. I need to find it". I look at him straight on studying his face for any traces of recognition that he did find something. Sadly his expression doesn't change.

I nod and head out the door to Itachi's classroom. When I get there the light isn't on and the door is locked. He isn't here. Maybe he's not back from lunch yet? I think to myself. He could just be in the teacher's lounge but I don't know that for sure.

The bell rings as I head to Minato's classroom. I need to hurry so I don't disrupt the class. I don't want to be labeled as a troublemaker on my first day of school. That wouldn't make Tsunade very happy.

Finally I see his classroom at the end of the hall. To my luck he's just opening the door. "Minato-Sensei"! I call to him before he goes in. He turns and looks at me. A small smile on his face. I stop in front of him and regain my breath before looking up.

"I think I might have lost something in your room. Its a green crys.." I begin but he interrupts.

"A green crystal on a black chain? Is that what you were going to say"? I blink at him. How did he know"?

"Yes! Did you find it? Please its really important to me"! I say almost begging him. I really want to know if he found it. I couldn't bare to have lost it.

"As a matter of fact I did find something with that description earlier. Shortly after your class left in fact".

He gestures for me to go in first and then flicks the light on. He walks over to his desk and unlocks the top drawer and pulls out my necklace.

I rush over to him and grasp it holding to my chest before slipping it on. I'm so happy I could hug him and I do.

I give him a big hug and then spin around for the door. I stop just before running out. "Thank you so much"! I call over my shoulder and run out the door. I'm halfway down the hall when I remember I left my books and stuff in the cafeteria. I want to kick myself because my phone was left behind as well.

I hope Ino or someone got my stuff. I finally make it to the cafeteria and no one is in there. Surprise, surprise. I think sarcastically. Looking at the table where my things were at I notice they're gone. So that means someone picked them up for me.

As soon as I step out of the cafeteria the late bell rings. "Damn late on the first day". I sigh out loud. Perfect.

I ran down the quiet halls quickly. Since no one was around I didn't have to worry about people seeing how fast I was going. Before long I was in front of the gym doors. I straightened my clothes and opened the doors.

The teachers turned to look at me. One had purple hair in a spiky bun and the other had a bowl cut and the biggest eyebrows I've ever seen. They were like two giant fuzzy caterpillars. The hell?

"You're late... Uh... What's your name"? The woman with the spiky purple bun asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Sakura Senju". I said simply.

"Right. Oh you're the new student. Did you have trouble finding the class"? She asked lifting an eyebrow at me.

"No I left something in my other teachers room and I had to get it". I told her reaching up and grasping the crystal to make sure it was still there. She nodded and turned back around to the group sitting in a circle on the floor already wearing the gym uniform.

"Uzumaki help her find a uniform". She pointed to the red haired girl that had been sitting across from me at lunch. I think her name started with a K but I'm not sure. The girl huffed before getting up and walking back to the locker rooms. I raised an eyebrow at her huffy behavior before shrugging and following her back.

Once I walked though the door it slammed shut behind me. The girl had closed it and was now leaning against the wall with her arms crossed under her chest and her foot propped against the wall.

"Let's get one thing straight pinky. Sasuke-Kun is mine. I'll tell you this only once so you better listen. He is mine so stay away from him"! She tried to sound fierce but failed. Her voice was too high pitched to make it work. She moved closer and her scent washed over me, I fought against the urge to cover my nose.

How much perfume is she wearing? My nose can't take it. I turned my back and sneezed. She stepped closer and a tingle shot through me. I turned back to face her and stepped back. Her eyes widened and she looked surprised.

"Look girl I don't mean to be rude or whatever". I began before sneezing again. "But you are seriously wearing way too much perfume. Did you bathe in it or something"? She completely ignored my question and continued to stare at me.

"What are you staring at"? I snapped irritated at being ignored and stared at. God didn't this girl have any manners at all?

She shook her head once and I blinked. What's her deal? The sneer came back to her face and I rolled my eyes. Seriously? I don't even know who it is she's obsessing over. The name kind of sounds familiar but I'm not sure.

"Just stay away from him". She commanded again before walking over to a closet and opening the door.

"Uniforms are in there. Get your stuff and a lock for your locker". She said and turned around walking back to the door and throwing it open and stalking out.

The uniform consisted of a pair of black short shorts and a white form fitting shirt with a leaf symbol on the bottom right corner, stitched with black thread. I was about to pull my hair up into a ponytail when I remembered what Ino had done earlier. So I just left it alone and joined the class.

My gym teachers were really weird. One was named Gai and had and obsession with the word youth. Seriously every other word that left his mouth was youth. He also liked to shout. Even if it was right in your ear. It was hard for me to resist punching him into next week when he shouted with me standing right next to him.

Had I been in wolf form my ears would have flattened against my head and I would have dropped my paws on top of them to keep the noise out. I did cover my ears with my hands and glared at him. After he was done I shook my head and tugged my ears trying to get the feeling back in them. I stopped when I felt a pair of eyes on me.

Looking up I stared into pale eyes. They were narrowed into a frown and studying me hard. I suddenly knew how a bug under a microscope felt. I turned and walked away completely unaware of the eight other pairs of eyes following my movements.

Sasuke's P.O.V.

"Are you absolutely sure about what you saw"? Tenten asked Karin for the tenth time. This is so annoying. If she was sure the first time why not just leave it at that?

"Yes! I'm telling you she sneezed and turned around and her eyes were blue with gold in them! I saw it"! Karin insisted her voice getting higher with each word.

I wasn't really paying attention to the conversation. Frankly hearing it once was enough. I didn't need to hear it again. Or nine times to be exact. I walked away bored of the conversation. Besides the bell was going to ring soon.

The rest of the day passed uneventfully. Nothing happened. Not that I paid attention in the first place. I already knew this stuff anyway.

I was getting ready to leave the school and go running when my phone vibrated with a text. It was from my brother.

SMS Itachi Uchiha: Mom says come straight home. We're having guests for dinner.

SMS Sasuke Uchiha: Whatever.

SMS Itachi Uchiha: Don't be so rude Otouto. I'm just passing on a message.

I ignored his last message and went home. What could be so important that I couldn't go for a run before dinner?

Sakura's P.O.V.

The moment I arrived home Tsunade was pushing me upstairs and commanding that I change into something nice as we were going to have dinner out this evening. Before she shut my room door she said "No running today" and was gone. I sat on my bed and huffed. I'd been looking forward to that all day!

I pulled my uniform off and tossed it on the floor as I walked to my bathroom to take a shower. As soon as I stepped out Tsunade burst into my room again and started rummaging through my closet. She pulled out a red knee length spaghetti strap dress and tossed it at me along with my black lace up heels. I raised an eyebrow at her and she gave me a look that clearly said don't argue with me and get dressed.

After pulling the clothes on she took me to her room and sat me down in front of her vanity table. She then proceeded to brush and blow dry my hair. This was normal. Every time we went somewhere really important she would fix my hair even though I was capable of doing it myself.

She braided several strands and then wound up the rest of my hair into a simple looking bun using the braids as a tie. How she does that and make it look easy I haven't a clue.

After she finished I put my shoes on and tied the ribbons holding them to my feet and went downstairs. I watched TV while she got ready. It was almost seven by the time she came downstairs. She was wearing a green summer dress and white heels.

"Let's go she said grabbing her purse and keys. Her hair was in its usual style of two pigtails. She never changes. I though shaking my head and getting into the car with her. I expected her to drive into town and for us to attend one of her business dinners as usual but to my surprise she turned further down the street heading towards the bigger houses in the neighborhood.

I opened my mouth to ask where we were going but she beat me to it. "Just wait and see Sakura". She always did have a pretty good idea of what I wanted to ask before I even voiced it. After about ten minutes she pulled up in front of a pair of wrought iron gates with a large red and white Uchiwa on the front. The gates parted in the center of the fan letting us through and Tsunade pulled up in front of a large mansion. Several cars were parked in front already as Tsunade pulled up.

She parked close to a familiar black Ferrari. We got out and walked to the huge wooden front doors. Tsunade rang the bell and I flinched at the loud sound. If this keeps up I'm going to have hearing damage by the time I'm twenty.

After a minute the doors opened and a petite woman with short silver hair beckoned us in. The moment I stepped foot across the threshold the scent of many different wolves assaulted my nose. I felt my hairs stand on end when I caught scent of seven different alphas. Why are so many in one place? That isn't even including Tsunade!

The woman with silver hair lead us to a large living room. Upon arrival she announced our presence and a woman with long black hair rose and greeted her as though she's known her a long time and is a good friend.

I took a step back feeling intimidated by so many wolves in one place. I'd never been around more than three at the most.

I scanned the room quickly seeing many of the people I'd met at school today. There were six of my teachers and even more of my classmates here. I took another step back trying to fight the urge to run and looked at Tsunade.

"What's going on Tsunade? Why are we here"? She reached out and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. I relaxed slightly at her familiar touch but I was still uncertain.

"Sakura relax no one here is going to hurt you". She said and I caught the order underlying her tone and forced myself to calm down.

Naruto and Kiba bounced over to me and gave me a bear hug. Somehow this served to further calm my frazzled nerves. I guess he has that effect on people.

The woman with the black hair took my hand and smiled brightly at me. "Its so nice to meet you Sakura. My name is Mikoto Uchiha, but just call me Mikoto! You look just like her"! She squeezed slightly. Upon noticing my blank look she turned to Tsunade. "Have you not told her yet"? She sounded bewildered.

Tsunade shook her head and Mikoto sighed. "Come on dear we have much to tell you it seems. I let her take my hand and lead me into the room. She sat me in a chair opposite the couch Itachi-Sensei, Kakashi-Sensei, and a man with short black hair and a serious expression. Then she sat down next to the man. The others all grabbed a chair or sat on the ground.

"I think introductions are in order first. Like I said I'm Mikoto. This is my husband Fugaku. I believe you already know my sons Itachi and Sasuke". I nodded and she went on pointing to each person in turn and not bothering with people I already knew.

Kiba's mother Tsume and sister Hana both had the red triangles on their faces. Maybe its a family thing? His mother had a fierce look to her and wild brown hair like Kiba. His sister looked very nice, her hair gathered in a low ponytail.

Shikamaru's mom Yoshino and dad Shikaku resembled him greatly. His mother had brown hair falling halfway down her back and the ends tied in a loose ponytail. She was a stern looking woman until she smiled. Then she looked very kind. Shikaku had his hair in a style just like Shikamaru. A ponytail on the top of his head. Resembling a pineapple. Odd. He had black eyes and a kind face.

Hinata's father and Neji's uncle stuck me as the no nonsense type. Long chocolate brown hair in a low ponytail like Yoshino's and those lavender tinted pearl like eyes. He didn't smile and only nodded when he was pointed out.

Ino's mother Ayame and father Inoichi looked just like her. Long pale blonde hair fell to Ayame's waist and green eyes. A small smile graced her face when she was pointed out. Her father Inoichi had darker blonde hair pulled into a ponytail much like Ino's. The only difference was his bangs were much shorter and they were kind of spiky on the top of his head. Blue eyes stared back at me and I had that microscope feeling again.

"Now that formal introductions are out of the way I'll introduce the clan heads". She paused looking at me to continue. I nodded and she went on. "Shikaku Nara is head of the Nara clan. Inoichi Yamanaka is head of the Yamanaka clan. Minato Namikaze is head of the Uzumaki/Namikaze clan. Tsume Inuzuka is head of the Inuzuka clan. My husband Fugaku is head of the Uchiha clan. We are just like you Sakura. We..." I cut her off here and spoke after being quiet for so long.

"I know. I can smell all of you. I also know who is an alpha here". Everyone looked at me interested in what I had to say. "Let me just say I don't exactly enjoy it either. Someone has a particularly overpowering smell". I glanced at Karin and she looked down in anger and embarrassment.

"Now I have a question for you, you, you, and you. Today or yesterday each of you has mistaken me for someone else. I want to know who it is". I crossed my legs and my arms under my chest and sat back in my chair waiting for the answer.

"That's a bit of a hard one. Did you bring it Kushina"? Mikoto asked her and she stood up and passed a photo album over to me. Flipping it open I was met with the sight of Tsunade, Mikoto, Kushina, Yoshino, Ayame, Tsume, and another women I didn't know. All standing around a person who could only be described as my mirror image.

"Wh-what is this"? I asked frantically. I was really freaking out now. The women in the photo were laughing and my copy had one eye shut. The other revealed a gold flecked blue eye. Those were my eyes too.

"That is your mother Sakura and my sister". I looked up to see Tsunade standing behind me looking over my shoulder at the picture.

"B-but this looks just like me! Almost a copy"! I exclaimed standing up suddenly. The album fell to the floor flopping open to a random page. I looked down again and saw a silver haired man. His hair was long an unbound. Hanging down past his shoulders. Jade green eyes like mine stared back at me.

Something wet trickled down my face and I touched my cheek surprised when I pulled my hand away and a tear rolled down my fingers. I was crying? I hadn't done that in such a long time. Not since I was seven and asked Tsunade what happened to my parents. She told me they died. I was beginning to wonder if that was true.

"Your mother really was my younger sister. She was Born Satsuki Senju and later married Sato Haruno. He was head of the Haruno clan and since both came from really strong wolf genes that means you are really powerful and you being the only Haruno left are clan head".

I shook my head refusing to believe what had been said. I didn't want to believe and so I wouldn't.

"Did my parents even die in car crash like you said? Or was that a lie too"? She looked down and I shook my head. The urge to run was so strong now it dominated my entire being. I would snap if I didn't get away. "Unbelievable". I said quietly and stood up with my head down.

"I can't believe you lied to me". I said still quiet. Tsunade put her hand on my shoulder and tried to comfort me.

"Sakura it was for..."

I viciously shook her hand off and stepped away from them all. "NO! YOU DON'T GET IT! NONE OF YOU DO! It wasn't just for a little while but for my whole entire life. so don't you dare say it was for my own good! I don't even know who I am anymore! I don't know. I just don't"! With that said I turned and ran out of the room heading for the door. I flung it open and saw it was pouring but for once I didn't care. I kicked my shoes off and dashed out into the storm. Letting my wolf take control.

Soon I was running no clear destination in mind just the words escape, get away and run clear in my head and I listened. I'd never wanted to run so fast before. Especially in the rain, but I did now. I threw caution to the wind and set myself completely free. Nothing holding me back. Not anymore.

I was so lost in the torment in my mind I never noticed I was being followed. I just kept running, soon the woods I'd come to a few days ago were zooming around me.

That concludes chapter 3. I guess I still have my knack for cliff hangers huh? You know the drill. Please share your thoughts with me and I'll see you next time!
