Chapter Two : Questions

'Sakura-chan. Neh, what happened to your arms?' Naruto asked, scratching his head.

Sakura faked a smile.

'Um, nothing. Nothing. I fell down the stairs, that's all.'

Naruto nodded. 'Oh.'

Sasuke smirked at the stupidity of Naruto. It was so obvious that one don't fall down the stairs and have cuts on your hands.

He frowned.

But how the hell did she get the cuts in the first place?

Sakura found that Sasuke was staring at her injuries.

She covered her arms and turned away.

Sometimes, Sasuke was too smart for his own good.

If he ever found out about her secret trainings, he might tell Kakashi and he might try to stop her.

She will not allow that.

Not after she learnt so many attacks, upped her speed and strength.

Apparently the late night trainings have done her good.

'Where is Kakashi-sensei?' Sakura asked, trying to veer off the topic.

Naruto nodded.

'Yah. Yah. Where is that Kakashi-sensei?'

'Sorry. I saw a pregnant woman in the forest just now. I sent her to the hospital…' Kakashi smiled awkwardly, mentally preparing himself for the scolding he would get from Naruto and Sakura.

'KAKASHI-SENSEI! THAT WAS SO LAME!' Naruto blared.

…

That was weird.

Why didn't Sakura say anything when he arrived late?

Then again, she has been weird for two months already, appearing for trainings bruised, and quiet.

Today, she was rained with wounds.

What had happened?

'Kakashi-sensei.' Sakura nodded.

'Hnh.' Sasuke replied.

Kakashi blinked.

'Today, we will be having joint practice with Rock Lee, TenTen and Neji. It will be a great opportunity to test your strengths.' Kakashi said, pulling out a book.

'With that bushy eye brows?' Naruto asked.

'SAKURA-CHAN!'

A loud, irritating voice blared in the distance.

Sakura looked up.

'HELLO BUSHY EYE BROWS!' Naruto waved.

A figure in dark green jumped enthusiastically.

Behind him was a girl, hair tied in two buns and a guy, with white eyes.

'Rock Lee, TenTen, Neji!' Naruto jumped.

Rock Lee ignored Naruto and rushed to Sakura.

'Sakura-chan, what happened to you?' Rock Lee asked, concerned.

Sakura blinked.

'Oh. Nothing. I fell down from the stairs this morning.'

'Oh.' Rock Lee nodded.

Sasuke smirked. Another idiot like Naruto who would actually believe that lame lie.

He ignored the loud boy, and his onyx eyes scanned around, before locating Hyuuga Neji.

Neji met his eyes and smirked.
