)) Chapter One- Transformation ((

Three years later…

The morning sunlight crept its way towards a sleepy pink haired girl. The light finally reached her long silky pink tresses. Sakura felt the brightness on her eyes so she whipped her blanket over her head. A while later she was woken up by a constant banging on her door.

"Onee-chan! Wake up!" shouted Kono.

"Get lost, I want my sleep!" exclaimed Sakura.

"Well ok… If you don't come out now I'll rip up this letter from the university of Osaka," taunted Kono.

As Sakura heard the mention of the university, she raced up to her bedroom door instantly. She has recently graduated from high school and has been waiting eagerly for a university reply. Sakura may be a smart girl but she lacked the money to go to a university to study law even if she did get accepted.

Kono was amazed at how fast his sister took to reach the door, he was only joking with her. He knew how much the letters meant to her and it broke his heart to see her upset every time she read one of them. Sakura squinted her eyes on Kono as soon as she saw him.

"Give it too me!" she demanded.

"No," he responded before running away with it in his hand.

"That's it Kono! If I catch you, you're dead meat," she joked and ran after him.

Sakura continued to chase after Kono out in the streets until he stopped to catch his breath. She snatched the letter out of his hands and smiled triumphantly as she watched her brother pant. She has maintained her exercise over the years to keep up her endurance. The Sakura today resembled nothing like she used to be because of her weight loss.

She could now fit into any clothing but she liked to keep herself modest and resolved with many shirts and pants or occasionally long skirts. As she held the letter her heart skipped a beat and her fingers trembled a little as she opened it. She had received a few letters of success but she declined them all unwillingly. There was no way that she could pay the fees.

Sakura read the letter slowly and Kono was surprised to see her sister's eyes becoming bigger. Normally they would be watery by now but she continued to smile. Suddenly joyful tears rolled down her eyes as she hugged her little brother. Perhaps he was not so little because he will be starting his first year in junior high.

"Why are you so happy?" asked Kono struggling for breath from his sister's crushing hug.

"I got a scholarship to study law in Osaka University," explained Sakura.

"Isn't that a bit far?" queried Kono.

"No… Well yes, but the scholarship includes accommodation. It says here that I will be living in a dormitory at the university," said Sakura.

"Do you have to go?" asked Kono softly even though he knew it was her dream to go.

"… I'm sorry Kono but this may be my only chance," she whispered and ruffled his soft brown hair. She continued, "I'll take you out for ice-cream after your first day of school. You look gorgeous in that junior uniform I'm sure you'd win many young girls' hearts."

"I don't want any girl's heart, they have rabies!" stated Kono.

"I'm a girl," said Sakura.

"You're different…" he muttered before running back home to get his bag. He came back downstairs to give his sister a hug and left without a good bye.

Sasuke waited impatiently for his girlfriend Setsuna to come out of her house. They had only begun dating recently and he was getting tired of her. He hated girl's that cared about their appearance and would take hours to dress up. He looked at his watch and cursed for waiting over an hour. He honked his horn to express his frustration and finally she got out of the house.

His eyes froze at her hair and a nauseating feeling arose from his stomach. He hated the colour PINK and she just had to go dye it that colour. Sasuke tread on the accelerator and drove off without an explanation. Setsuna tried to run after his car but her 6-inch heels slowed her down. Finally she tripped and twisted her ankle.

She yanked her mobile from her bag and dialed Sasuke's number. When he picked up she screamed, "How dare you leave me like that!"

"I will and I have. Oh… Don't ever call me again because we're over," stated Sasuke.

"Ah… hunny no. You can't just break up with me for no reason," cried Setsuna.

"I just did, didn't I? Sorry babe, that was the last straw," muttered Sasuke before he hung up on her.

'I can't believe I wasted a month with her,' thought Sasuke as he decided to drive to his university. There was still a week before university started but Sasuke wanted to check the place out. If Itachi hadn't ran away Sasuke wouldn't need to study law and business combine to take over the Uchiha's business.

After he had parked his car, he went past the gates and realized there were people there. A group of four, two guys and two girls were chatting happily over a barbecue stand. As Sasuke continued to make his way over, a hand tapped his shoulder which made him jump.

"Whoa," yelled Sasuke as he turned around to face an eyebrow less freak and added, "Who the hell are you?"

Garaa grunted and ignored him. He had wanted to ask the black haired man for some directions but decided not to mingle with him. He walked off into the distance to search for the office. Sasuke continued to proceed to the group of four and asked, "Can I join you guys?"

"No," replied Neji.

"Why not?" asked Sasuke.

"Depends on what class you are in. We don't mix with the poor or the middle for that matter," said Tenten.

"Well, I'm Sasuke Uchiha," he addressed.

"You're the son of the Uchiha organization?" commented Ino.

"Yea," boasted Sasuke who decided to sit next to the pretty blond girl.

"Where do you think you're sitting?" grunted Shikamaru and added, "Ino here is MY girl."

"Am not!" shouted Ino.

"Wanna make a bet?" asked Shika cunningly before he placed Ino on his lap and kissed her passionately on the lips. Ino pushed his lips away from hers but the tingling sensation she always got stayed there. She sighed as Shikamaru wrapped his strong arms around her. She felt safe and comfortable within his arms…

"Do you believe me you're mine now?" he whispered gently in her ear and started kissing her neck, which sent Ino groaning.

"God can't you guys do that somewhere else?" argued Tenten who was still single and have been waiting for Neji to make a move. Perhaps she could make Neji jealous by getting closer to Sasuke. She wrapped her arm around Sasuke's arm and introduced, "I'm Tenten Umino and my father owns a shipping company."

Neji didn't bother looking at them and continued to drink his vodka. Deep inside he was feeling a pang of jealousy because he had known Tenten since forever. However, he had never admitted his feelings for her because he didn't feel worthy of her. Neji was the adopted son of Hiashi Hyuga ever since both his parents died.

"Hey you there with the white eyes. What's your name?" asked Sasuke.

Tenten had now placed her head on Sasuke's shoulder, which infuriated Neji, veins were popping out of the sides of his temples but he tried to maintain his cool. He couldn't face her so he decided to grab another bottle of vodka and leave them. Tenten let go of Sasuke instantly to chase after Neji.

"Neji, where are you going? Wait!" yelled Tenten.

Sasuke watched the two run off into the distance amused. Shikamaru stopped kissing Ino and stated, "Don't mess with them if you want to join us. I'm Shikamaru Nara and my father owns a computer company."

"I'm Ino Yamanaka and my father owns a jewelry industry," she stated and nibbled at Shikamaru.

"So… How long have you two been going out?" asked Sasuke.

"Ten years," said Shika.

"Really? That's a really long time," pointed Sasuke.

"He meant we met ten years ago, we only began to go out in junior high. You should've seen him then, he would go and bash up any guy that tried to come near me," laughed Ino.

"Did you mean the other way around? You went to slap any girl that laid a hand on me," he corrected.

"I did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Hey hey! You guys can continue with that but I'm gonna leave now. Say bye to those two for me if they come back," broke in Sasuke.

As soon as Sasuke left Shikamaru began to hold onto his sweet Ino. He shut her mouth with another deep kiss and reminisced the first time he had seen her. He could never forget the image of a cute innocent blonde haired girl in two pigtails. Shikamaru lifted Ino in his strong arms and placed her on a soft patch of grass.

"It's sunny here, can we please get back into the shade?" asked Ino.

"No… Did you know the first time I saw you with your gleeful smile. You reminded me of the sun. I'm glad I found you… You shone light into my world," whispered Shikamaru gently as he nestled his head on Ino's neck.

'I would have been so lost without you,' thought Ino and remembered how Shika had shown her around on the first day they had met. He has always been there when she was happy or when she was sad. Suddenly she felt that she couldn't live without him, he was her protector and guardian angel.

A small tear rolled down her eyes as she recalled all the joyous moments with him. She moved her head towards Shika's chest to hear his heart beat. 'I am yours as you are mine,' she thought before closing her eyes. She loved the scent of his cologne and the cool summer breeze against her skin.

'You're my princess and I will never let anyone hurt you,' thought Shikamaru before he drifted off to sleep with Ino in his arms. He always felt complete with her around him.

)) o ((

"Neji, Neji! Where are you going?" cried Tenten before she tripped over her own feet.

Blood began to seep out from her left knee while she sobbed in pain. A greater pain bothered her than the physical hurt from the scrape. Out of nowhere a shadow came over her and she looked up to see two beautiful white eyes. Neji tugged at his white ribbon and unclasped his silky black hair that fluttered softly against the wind.

Tenten's eyes were wide opened because she has never seen Neji with his hair untied. He bent down towards her to straighten her leg, as soon as his calloused hands touched her delicate creamy skin he flinched. He had longed to touch her in an intimate way but shook those thoughts away.

"You're hurt," he stated as he began to wrap the ribbon around her knee. He tied a small bow before letting go of her lovely long leg. Tenten was wearing a miniskirt that revealed a lot of her tender legs and Neji had taken a 'long' look. He had wanted to pull back but Tenten held him there.

She stared at him with her big turquoise eyes before closing them. She waited for him to kiss her even knowing that he never would. She had lost count on the number of times she had wanted to or have tried to kiss him. Each time he would move away and ignore her.

To her surprise Neji leaned forward and touched his lips with hers. Tenten didn't expect Neji to deepen the kiss and accepted his tongue inside hers. She felt really good to be kissed by the person she had longed for and have loved for so many years. A tear began to roll down her eyes but was licked away by Neji.

They continued to kiss with Neji on top of Tenten and enjoyed fondly of this new experience they shared. Neji was about to explore Tenten with his hands but a clapping noise interrupted them.

"Man, you guys are even more wild then them two," said Sasuke in the background and added, "You guys continue without me, bye."

Neji gave him a death glare as Sasuke took a brief moment to stare at Tenten's legs. Sasuke ignored him and continued to head back to his car. He put on an amused smirk when he reached the car. He was happy to have made some friends if you could call it that. 'Aw… I need a girlfriend to show off too,' he thought.

)) o ((

Kono waited patiently for his sister to arrive and take him out for ice cream. He could feel many female eyes staring at him as he waited with his big earphones. It was his first day at school and a few girls had already made their 'moves' on him. Suddenly a girl wrapped an arm around his, he wanted to pull away but she didn't let go.

He gave her a quick glance and realized she was very scared. In fact she was shivering all over. He asked gently, "Are you ok?"

Out of nowhere a voice boomed, "Meilin! There you are I was looking all over for you."

Meilin hid behind Kono for protection so he figured the boy was the one that had hurt her. He blocked the boy and shouted, "You stay away from her!"

"Why? Are you her boyfriend now?" asked Akane.

"No, but if you touch her I won't let you go that easily," responded Kono.

"Do you know who I am?" he stated and threatened, "You should know better not to mess with me. No one takes away the things I want and that includes her." Akane pointed at the girl behind Kono.

"Uchiha sir," called a man inside a limousine.

"I'll see you tomorrow," hissed Akane as he turned to hop into the car. Akane was the third son of Mr. Uchiha with his late wife.

"Konohamaru! Holding a girl's hand already, I thought you were scared of girl germs," said a sweet voice.

Meilin watched a beautiful woman with long tresses of pink hair approach Kono. She was the prettiest woman she had ever seen and her eyes shone like exquisite emerald gems. Meilin took a short glance at Kono and realized how handsome he looked as well. His hair was spiked and the earmuff looking headphones made him appear more attractive.

"Do you want to bring your new girlfriend to eat ice cream with us?" asked Sakura.

"Ne, are you still scared? Come eat ice-cream with me," offered Kono and decided to let her hold onto his arms.

She nodded her head and forgot about the driver in the limo waiting for her…

Sakura took them to a nice ice-cream store with delicious yet expensive ice creams. 'Aww… they look so nice,' dribbled Sakura, as it has been a long time since she had eaten delicious yet fattening food. The two children ordered their choice quickly and waited impatiently with Sakura.

Meanwhile, a certain spiky blond haired man was enjoying his 3rd round of ice cream. He was about to order a fourth but his senses drifted to a familiar sent. Naruto didn't even realize his eyes had changed into a red colour for a brief second. His eyes directed to a table of three and they landed on a pink haired girl.

His heart clutched and he knew sitting before him was his soul mate. He smiled and thought, 'Sakura, my other half. Interesting. I'm glad you don't look like how you used too.' Naruto gagged at the thought of the fat blob he had marked.

That night the 100 year curse was wearing out and all he could find was the blob… -.-

He watched Sakura and the two kids enjoy their ice cream. After they had finished Sakura was looking very worried at a bill on her table. She had forgotten her wallet so she whispered, "Kono have you got any money?"

"No why?" he asked before he passed the word softly to Meilin, "Bizz, do you have any money?"

"No… but I can-" she said.

Sakura's face was very red from embarrassment, 'How could I have forgotten…'

Suddenly her savior appeared a man with blond hair came up to the waiter. "You can put their bill with mine," she heard him say.

Naruto came up to Sakura and introduced, "Hi I'm Naruto. This is my number and I hope to see more of you. I better go bye." Throughout the brief moment Sakura had been staring at his beautiful sea-blue eyes. His entire completion reminded her of the beach…

DURIAN

Shall we keep this story alive? Between, this fic contains wild out of character ness. Basically Sakura goes to the same school as Sasuke who will be torturing her. However, Naruto will be there to help her. Aiyoo: Naruto X Sakura fluffiness. Lastly, Sasuke's motto is just like his brother's- "No one can take away the things I want." Hint Hint…
