PRESENT
Sakura took her seat nezt to Shino who sat there chuckling as people turned and stared at her as if she was an alien from outer space. Sakura put her head her hands hoping she could just disappear.
Another girl walked in, "Hello? My names Saya, I use to live her about 10 yrs ago but now I'm back and starting school here." The announcer who had said start stepped forward, "My names Kakshi and I'll be substituting for your actual teacher who is um…."he looked back to see Iruka try to call to a medic, he chuckled, "er…he's a liitle busy at the moment so you'll be sitting…." Ino stood up, "she'll be sitting here!" Kakashi nodded. "Ok, just go to that lady over there." Saya nodded and walked to Ino. Ino smiled, "I', so happy to see that your back." Saya looked at Ino funny first than grinned, "It's good to be back…" Hinata and Neji looked sharply at the girl, she had just lied. The puzzled look she gave Ino said that.
From her seat Sakura slightly whined. Normally this would bother Shino, he hated whinny people but in this case he just laughed. He couldn't help it. Sakura was funny. "Why did I have to fight and she didn't?" Shino smirked, "Cuz you knocked out the guy who would have made her fight." "How come Kin isn't picking on her?" Shino chukled and shrugged. "How come when I come in I'm looked at like 'oh my God!' and she's looked at like 'oh hi!'? Shino laughed harder and again shrugged. "And why the hell are you laughing at my confusion and sense of unfairness?" Shino choked and looked at her then snickered. Sakura rolled her eyes, but soon enough she was snickering too. In the end neither of them could hold it in and they just laughed out loud. Unfortunately their laughter quickly turned into embarrassment as the whole class turned to look at them. Apparently they had laughed a little too loud. They ducked for cover but was caught anyway. "Is my lesson funny Shino, Sakura?" They looked at each other, what do they say? Sasuke stared at her, did she just laugh in the middle of a major lesson? Shikamaru sighed, how troublesome. Shino and Sakura turned their heads and tried to hide their slight blushes. Luckily Lord Hyuuga saved them. "My fault, I pointed out that one of the backers was screaming like a girl and chasing a rat around in his underwear. My apologys. I won't distract your students again." Shino and Sakura turned to him, very confused. Their confusion skyrocketed when Lord Hyuuga winked at the. They weren't the only ones confused, Neji caught the wink and had no idea what to make of it. Hinata however smiled.
After school as Sakura was walking home, Hinata followed her anxiously. "S- Sakura right?" Sakura nodded, noting how the girls stuttered, just like someone she use to know did. "Can I walk with you?" Again Sakura nodded. They walked in silence. Sakura looked down wondering what to do, the silence was killing her. Then she noticed that a bracelet she had been wearing had fallen to the floor behind her. "Oh my God!" She picked up the bracelet and hugged it tightly. "Thank goodness it's ok!" Hinata watched her hug it and noted on the pattern.
FLASHBACK
"Sakura, that's an odd pattern your doing on your bracelet. Pretty but odd. What is that?" Hinata asked as she and Sakura sat on the floor making bracelets Sakura smiled, "It's my special pattern, the Sakura blossom pattern!" Hinata giggled, "That's silly!" Sakura giggled and then the 2 of them erupted into fits of laughter.
END OF FLASHBACK
"HINATA!" Hinata shook her head, "Eh?" Sakura peered at her worriedly, "You kind of dazed out there…" Hinata shook her head and smiled, "No I was just remembering something." "Not to be nosy but ..what were you remembering? Something good? Cuz you were smiling," Hinata blinked, "Sakura….blossum….pattern..thats right her name was…..SAKURA!" Sakura jumped up at the sound of her name, "EH!" Hinata grasped her and hugged her tight, "God I've missed you!" Saakura struggled to get out of her arms when she froze, "What did you…say before…before you shouted my name.." Hinata stopped and let go, wiping away tears, "Sakura blossom pattern… it was your pattern wasn't it? You use to live here, 10yrs ago…" Sakura stared at her how did she know all of this stuff about her unless she…….
"You were one of my friends when I lived here…..we made bracelets together and trained together…." The world around her spun, everything was turning into a fading color, "Hinata? Hinata Hyuuga?" Hinata smiled with tears in her eyes,"OH MY GOD!" They leapt at each other and hugged tightly.
Meanwhile, Ino clenched Saya's hand tightly, "It's been so long….!" Saya nodded, truth was she had no idea who Ino was she was just here cuz Lord Orochiamaru was paying her to be there so mshe could get close to Sasuke. "Everyone meet Saya, the girl from out past!" Kiba's mouth dropped open. "No way……" Saya grinned evily, "Way!"
