Dear Kakashi,
I accept your generous offer to work on my father's farm. Even tow I'm only sixteen, I'll try my very best to work hard on the farm.
Sincerely,
Sakura
Spring 8th : Two p.m.
Sakura stepped off the small and shaky wooden bout and on to the dry sandy land. She pulled her long light pink hair out off her emerald eyes and into a ponytail. 'Stupid ocean! To much water!' Inner Sakura yelled loudly, giving the ocean a glare.
"You must be Sakura, I'm Kakashi, welcome to Forget-me-not Valley." The man known as Kakashi said kindly, picking up her bags. "The farm is this way."
"Thank you! Wow! This town is so cozy!" Sakura replied while walking behind Kakashi, slowly drifting of into la-la land.
"Nobody ever wants to leaves. That's why not allot of people come here anymore." Kakashi said blankly, leading Sakura onto the small farm, while she walked into another passing person.
"Epp! Sorry! I was in my own world!" Sakura apologized to a taller man with red hair.
"Hn." He snorted back to her while she smiled up at him.
'I apologized to that loser and he has the nerve not even to say it's okay! Jerk!' INNER SAKURA yelled as Sakura ran off to follow Kakashi who was rambling on about grass and mushrooms.
"Gaara! Who was that?" Timari yelled to her older brother, who was staring at Sakura as she giggled after that scarecrow Kakashi.
"And her we are, the Haruno family farm." Kakashi said blankly. "Now let me show you around. This is the barn, and that fine peace of meat we have here, is-" Kakashi was cut off when a hove flew into his face.
"Hi there! You sure are a pretty girl aren't you!" Sakura chirped to the normal looking cow, which was a little dirty from the barn dust. She looked over to the board that read Cherry.
"Your father was the same way, always talking to that STUPID cow. Never had enough time for me, and when ever he wasn't with old stick in the mud over there, he was with your mother. No, but don't worry, I- Sakura?" Kakashi said, stopping his rambling to notice that his pink haired friend wasn't with him any more.
"Hm, I wonder where-" Sakura stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a drop dead gorgeous boy exiting the inn door in front of her. 'Holy crap! What's an angel doing in a dump like this! Two hot guys in one day! WOOT!' INNER SAKURA screamed to herself. "Um, excuse me, is this Joujin inn?" Sakura asked the boy with dark blue hair and onyx eyes.
"Hn" The boy mumbled, walking past her and towards the hill that lead to the market place.
'Is that all anyone around here can say! Jeez!' INNER SAKURA Yelled.
Sakura curiously pushed opened the door the door to the building and walked in.
"Welcome to the Joujin inn! I'm Iruka, and that lady over there is my wife Anko! How may I help you!" A man with black hair that was pulled back into a high ponytail asked formally.
"Um, Haruno Sakura, I own the farm up the hill-"
"Dad! Someone ate my Ramen! And there's no more! What do I do!" Yet another boy shouted, exiting the Kitchen. This boy had bright yellow hair with sky blue eyes, he wore an orange jump suit with fluffy white rims, also, and he had three cat whiskers on each side of face. "Hay! You're really pretty! What's your name angel!"
"Naruto! Sasuke went out for Ramen ten minutes ago, and her name her name is Sakura, now take this and go get something to eat!" Iruka shouted back to Naruto, who was walking circles around Sakura, he then handed him some money.
"Bye Sakura-chan! I hope I see you soon!" Naruto yelled to Sakura as he raced out the door.
"Iruka! Help! The oven broke again!" Anko shouted from the kitchen.
Iruka ran into the kitchen and took on look at the stove, and then he took a deep breath and shouted angrily at the top of his lungs, "Naruto!"
Sakura took the chance to slip out of the house and run down to the bar she saw on the way.
"You must be that farmer girl that Kakashi has been talking about for months." A girl snorted as Sakura walked into the bar.
'Isn't she supposed to say welcome or something?' INNER SAKURA thought while Sakura looked at her. "The one and only." Sakura replied sitting down at the bar, not noticing that the man with the red hair from earlier was sitting next to her.
"Hn, spunky, I'm Ino, ad keep your eyes off Sasuke! He's mine!" Ino said back to her, throwing a dirty smile.
"Nice to know, but who's Sasuke?" Sakura asked politely.
"The boy with the blue hair that lives in the inn."
"Oh, well, I should be going, I have to meet all the people that live here!" Sakura chirped out happily, reaching for the golden door nobe, receiving a swack from the door as someone entered.
"Hay Inooooooh my god! I didn't know anybody was there! Are you okay! Did I hurt you!" A boy asked, panic in his voice.
A small dog jumped up onto Sakura and started to affectionately lick Sakura's face. "Erg, ya I think…Hi I'm Sakura!" Sakura said, quickly recovering, seeing how hot he was. 'It's like I've died and goon to heaven! Heavens with only hot boys! I new it was a good idea to come to the farm!' INNER SAKURA thought as the boy helped her up.
"Sorry, I'm Kiba, and you are?"
"Sakura!" Sakura breathed out soon lost in his deep brown eyes.
"Even though I find this little eye to eye romance touching, I find it is necessary to-"
"Hay you old sand Hag! I was talking here!" Kiba snapped back to Gaara, whose facial expression stayed the same, board.
"I beg to differ, you were staring." Gaara replied to Kiba, while leaning back against the wall.
"Was not! Sakura, was I- Sakura?" Kiba asked in confusion, looking around to see a loss in a pink haired friend.
"She snuck out the door while you two where bickering, she's a snicky one, she is." Ino said loudly, cleaning a silver mug and looking out the window at the sunset.
'Glad I got out of there quick enough!' Sakura thought to her self as she walked up the hill, leading to a large mansion with a water feather in front of it.
In front of the mansion, a boy with long brown hair sat down, looking at his reflection in the water.
"Hi! I'm Sakura! What's your name?" She asked the boy, who stood up and looked down upon her.
"I'm Neji, what are you doing out in the middle of the night, alone?" Neji asked, studying her face, hair, and body.
'Pervert! He's checking me out! If he wasn't so damn hot I'd nock him to the moon!' INNER SAKURA yelled inside Sakura's head.
"Um, just looking around. I was hoping to meet all of the villagers today, but, it is getting late…" Sakura said, her voice trailing off as she slowly looked up at the stars.
"Hn, if you go home now, I'll help finish you're tour tomorrow." Neji said blankly, Sakura smiling ear to ear.
"Kay! See you tomorrow!" Sakura yelled and waved to Neji as she ran back down the hill to her farm.
'Well I think today was rather productive!' Sakura thought merrily to herself, running to her log house at the end of the farm by a patch of dirt.
Sakura walked up to her door and saw a note on it. It read, 'Dear Sakura, I saw you running down to the inn, so I'll see you at six, where I'll show you the farm!' signed, Kakashi.
Sakura looked up at the star lit sky and smiled, "To be a farmer." She the shook her head and walked into her house.
'SNAP! We forgot to unpack! Oh well, another thing to do!' INNER SAKURA Murmured is Sakura's head.
Sakura walked over to a box labeled clothes. With much difficulty, she found her favorite pink pajama. They had long sleeves and short shorts.
"Hay! I almost forgot! I have a diary!" Sakura yelled, digging threw some boxes and pulling out a pink diary with emerald jewels as a boarder. She yanked out a fuzzy Pink pen that gozed out green ink and started to right franticly.

Sakura's Diary
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Today was my first day at my new house! I meat a lot of new people too!
The first person I meet today was my dad's old friend Kakashi; he'll be working on the farm with me! Before we even got on the farm I talked to a boy with red hair and dark, almost brown, green eyes! He was really cute!
After that, Kakashi showed me the cow, who's name is cherry, even thought he doesn't like her, but that's just him, I thought she was adorable! He then started to ramble on about my dad, it got really boring! So I left out the barns back door.
Before my mother died when I was little, she told me of her friend named Anko, who married an inn owner's son. It was one of those things you have right before you die, kind of like a flash back you can't control, but from the stories she told me, they sounded nice! So I decided to go and meet them!
As I ran down right in front of the door, lucky I was out of rang, the door opened, reviling a totally hot guy! He has dark blue hair with onyx eyes! I later found out his name is Sasuke! He is so dreamy! He didn't say much, but he still was hot!
Soon after I meet him, I meet Iruka, Anko's husband. Also, I meet a silly blond named Naruto! What a mess up! He even called me a really pretty angel! Me, forehead girl! Ha! He left quickly when his dad gave his money for ramen, then, Anko called Iruka in, I knew I was going to be trouble so I left.
Next, I ran to the Blue bar where a girl named Ino works at, she has a big crush on Sasuke, she my new Love rival and I won't lose!
Anyway, another boy named Kiba walked in, right after slamming the door into my face! Ouch! Although I forgot how angry I way at him when I saw how hot he was! Then, out of the corner of the bar, the boy I meet earlier when I bumped into him, started talking to Kiba. I thought they would start yelling, which they did, so I quietly left that war zone!
I had to get out of eye rang of them, so they wouldn't drag me into the fight, but I still wanted to see the town! So I ran up a hill and meet the final boy of the day, yet another cute boy, who's name happens to be Neji! He even said if I went home right away, he would show me the town! Did he want to get rid of me or something? Oh well, something else I have to think about tomorrow, but for now I have to get to bed, Kakashi's making me get up at six, and it's already eleven!
Night dairy!

Spring 8th : Eleven p.m.
Sakura shut her dairy and placed it on her bedside table. "And so ends day one…" Sakura murmured as she rubbed her eyes and crawled under her pink bed sheets and blanket.
Spring 9th : Six a.m.
"No!" Sakura whined, looking at the source of the noise. "Stupid sun, stupid Kakashi!" She yelled, rubbing her eyes, looking out the window to see Kakashi nailing something to the side of her house.
'Who idea was it to wake up this earlier!' INNER SAKURA yelled angrily is Sakura's head.
"Sakura! Time to wake up!" Kakashi yelled to Sakura from outside to cabin.
"I'll be right out!" Sakura yelled in an equal tone, slowing sitting up in bed.
"Change of plans, I have to go to the market for a few hours, put the cow out and when I come home I'll put her back in, I also left a list of things to do, now get to it!" Kakashi said from the other side of the door.
"WHAT?" Sakura screamed, snapping up out of bed and running to the door in her pajamas, tripping on the way.
Neji walked onto the farm and looked around in amazement. 'This place was a dump just a week ago, and looking at it now, it seems like a totally different farm.' Neji thought to himself.
"Sakura's in her house, if you're looking for her." Kakashi said smirking wildly.
"Hn." Neji mumbled, walking towards the house at the end of the farm.
"WAIT! KAKASHI!" Sakura yelled, flinging the door open, just to see Neji, who looked shocked to she her in her p.j.'s.
"Er, good…morning?" Neji said, not sure what to say in a Situation like this.
Sakura laughed nervously and shut the door; quickly getting changed while Neji waited outside quietly, in dead silence.
No more then ten seconds later did Sakura emerge in a dark red shirt and matching skirt, around her neck was a choker with her last name imprinted on it.
"You look, nice. Let's go." Neji murmured, trying not to talk much, he didn't trust his voice at the moment, standing next to her.
"Um, where does that road lead to?" Sakura asked, referring to a jagged road that was between two tall hills.
"If you take that road up the mountain, it leads to a market place." Neji spout out, he obviously didn't get out much.
"So, what's over there?" Sakura asked, pointing to a farm across a wooden bridge that was over a creek.
"That's Tetsuma's farm, she manly makes seeds and fruit." Neji replied quietly, leading her to the other farm.
"Shikamaru! Get back HERE!" A girl's voice yelled from the inside of one of the house that was on the property.
"The on yelling is Tin ten, She's our age and has been living with Tetsuma since she was five, she and that crazy scientist are engaged.
And that, is Tetsuma's lazy nephew Shikamaru, he has a thing for that blond girl." Neji stated, watching Shikamaru run up the hill.
"Ino?" Sakura asked, walking across the wooden bridge, along side Neji.
"No. That one." Neji murmured, pointing to Gaara's sister. "Her name is Timari. She and her brother are working at that sandpit, something their parents worked on together with them. It has something to do with a 'lost' city. I can't see how you could lose a city in sand." Neji wondered.
"Hm, Oh no! I forgot! I have work! Thank you Neji! But I have to go home, see you tomorrow!" Sakura shouted, running home to do her work. 'I didn't even get ten minutes with him!' Sakura thought as she ran on the farm and into the barn.
"Sorry! Come on, I'll let you out!" Sakura chirped to the agitated cow. 'Thank goodness she's too old to be milked.' Sakura thought quietly to herself.
She opened the back door and let the cow run free in the small meadow. "Okay, chickens where next on the list." She hoped over the fence and got the bird feeder that lied on the floor by the chicken coop door, which she swung open. Upon arriving inside, a boy with black hair and a bowl shaped haircut swung around to come eye to eye with her.
"Hi! I'm rock lee, but you can call me Lee!" Lee then ran past her and off the farm.
'WHAT the hell that freak doing in my chicken coop! Jeez!' INNER SAKURA shouted.
For the rest of the day, Sakura slaved away planting, watering, plowing, feeding and brushing. By the time she was done, it was already nightfall.
Sakura slowly slumped off to her house and opened the door. 'Opps, forgot about those boxes.' Sakura thought, to tired to talk.

Dear dairy,
Today was so unfair! I had to work, work, WORK! The only good thing that happened today was that I got to spend five soled minuets with Neji. J
Neji told me that a girl my age over on the other farm, I think we will be good frainds if she gave me a chance! Oh! She's also is ingaged with a sentist.
Also I found out that the man from yeasterday, Garra, works over at the sand pit by the waterfall with his sister after his parents died. That's so sad having to work at your parents job after they died! Hm, sound familiar…
Tomorrow's the last day of spring, I better pick some of thoses Goddess drops flowers! They only come onece a year!
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Spring 9th : Ten p.m.
Sakura looked out the window and sighed, she had only been on the farm for two days and she meets almost all the villagers! What a productive two days! Soon enough, she dazed off into a heavy sleep.
-------------
Spring 10: One p.m.
Sakura slowly fluttered her eyelashes and looked forward, the sun was high in the sky, she the shot up in bed.
"I sleep in!" Sakura exclaimed as she grabbed and then swung a dark green bag over her shoulder, letting it hang on her hip as she ran out side to work on her morning chores.
She raced out side to feed her cow, whom upon seeing her glared. "Oh! I'm sooo sorry!" Sakura apologized to the cow, which got over her anger as soon as Sakura feed and milked her.
After letting Cherry out, Sakura feed her chickens and headed over to the other farm for seeds.
'Oh! I should get those flowers now!' Sakura thought, knowing that the flower patch was over by Tin ten's farm. Sakura stopped when she saw that all of the flowers were gone, making her very sad.
'Who the hell would pick a hundred flowers over night! Freaks!' INNER Sakura yelled angrily.
"Hey there! You must be that new farmer Sakura! I'm Tin ten!" Tin ten greeted as soon as Sakura enter the farm.
"Hi! Um, I wanted to know if you have any apple seeds?" Sakura asked slowly.
"You betcha! Hold on!" Tin ten exclaimed as she ran out of the house, and within a few minutes came running back.
"Here you go!" Tin ten said, Sakura then gave her money in return for a bag full of seeds.
"Thank you!" Sakura replied as she started to walk away. Tin ten then look sadly at Sakura, she really didn't have anything to do.
'Hm, maybe I could ask her to go shopping with me, I totally out of food!' Sakura thought to her self.
Sakura twirled around to she Tin ten opening the door, about to walk in.
"Hay Tin ten! I really don't know my way around the market! Can you show me!" Sakura asked, she then heard Tin ten squeals.
"Ya! Okay! Follow me!" Tin ten giggled as Sakura slipped the seeds into to her side bag.
Seven hours later…
Spring 10th: Eight p.m.
Sakura walk home, kicking herself for not getting the flowers she wanted. Although to day wasn't so bad, she made a new best friend!
Sakura came onto her property and saw Gaara sitting on the fence to the small meadow where her cows would graze.
"Um, hi!" Sakura exclaimed, waving to Gaara.
"Hn. I brought you these." Gaara grumbled, pulling out a bouquet of Goddess drops. "You looked kind of bummed out when you saw the empty patch, so, here." Gaara said emotionlessly, shoving them into her hands.
"Gaara! Thank you!" Sakura shouted as she thought him the pink rose she had bought at the market. Gaara caught the rose and smiled.
"Thank you, Cherry blossom." Gaara whisper, quickly walking off the property, knowing that he would receive endless teasing from his sister.
Sakura smiled as she opened her door and flipped on the T.v. to listen to the weather while she started to finally unpack.
"…Summer heat will be kicking up tomorrow so put on you're bathing suit and head to the beach. Later on this month a cool wind will breeze thought, followed by a cold front." The weatherman spoke as Sakura nailed a large map of the town up on the wall, right next to her calendar, which she marked off next.
Sakura soon grew tired of hearing the same forecast over and over again, so she changed the channel to the romance channel, which was playing it's only show called A wonderful life.
"…Are you Sirius?" Asked a female character called Celia.
"Yes! I want you to take this blue feather as a symbol of my love!" The main farmer character named Anton, who was giving his secret crush a blue feather.
"Will Celia say yes, or will she leave Anton for Marlin, her old boy friend? Don't touch that remote, the conclusion is coming up next in…A wonderful life!" Announced the narrator.
Sakura smiled at the T.v., she had always watched this show, even when she lived back in the smoggy city.
She secretly always envied Anton; he had two sweet sisters, tones of caring friends, and a dog! Sakura turned up the T.v. to hear what Celia said.
"Oh Anton! Of course I will! I love you!" Celia replied happily as Anton slipped his blue feather into her had and returned the hug.
"Yes! Finally you told her! Ya!" Sakura yelled as Anton and Celia walk in to Vesta's house to tell her the great news.
She then went back to work. She then put away her cool summer clothe in the top draw, fall coats and jeans in the first middle draw, her winter sweaters and scarves in the draw below the last, followed by her cherished spring dress's and shorts in the bottom draw.
She pulled out a picture of her parents and her, which was taken right after they got married, she then put it down on top of her dresser draw.
She sighed at the flowers Gaara gave her, which she had put on the small wooden table. Sakura took out a red book with the word flower imprinted on the cover and side.
She took two of the several flowers and pressed them into the red book. Above the flowers she wrote Goddess drops, spring tenth, Gaara.
She then smiled and laid the book on the table by the yellow glass vase with three of the flowers, the other ones Sakura had placed in the sink to de juice into perfume.
"I like Gaara, but I also like Neji, Kiba seems nice too, also Sasuke! Arg!" Sakura, now frustrated, turned off the T.V. and slipped into her p.j.'s.
Sakura snatched her dairy from its resting-place on her bedside table. She then flipped to a fresh page and started to write on it.

Sakura's dairy
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Dear dairy,
I made a great friend today! She was so sweet! We went shopping, she showed me around town, told me about Lee, that nuts in my chicken coop, and we're even going to the beach tomorrow!
Oh! I didn't even tell you the highlight of my day! I was so bummed when I saw that all the Goddess drops were gone, and then later after I went shopping, I came home and saw some one sitting on my Fence! Guess whom!
Gaara! I know! I was so surprised, but at the same time really happy! He gave me the goddess drop flowers, which I later made a beautiful smelling perfume! Today was so fabulously great!
I even got to unpack! Yay for me!
Tomorrow I'll get up extra early to do my chorus so I can go and spend the rest of the day down at the beach festival!
Everyone's going to bring something; maybe I'll bring so cookies? Hm gotta think about that one.
Night Dairy!

Sakura smiled, then put her dairy down on top of her book of pressed flowers, and opened up her cabinet that was above her sink, and placed the bottle of perfume in it.
She smiled at the pink alarm clock she bought at the market with Tin ten, set it to seven, placed it on the bed side table, and went to sleep.
