Note: Never mind to the people who read the note from the previous chapter about this story being only three chapters. I think it's going to be longer if I'm going to fit all the fluff into the story.
Chapter Two: A Brief History
Leaf Academy. A prestigious school, Leaf Academy taught every single grade. From preschool to college, they had dorms for students who wanted to stay there. When Leaf was built the architecture tried to make it as homely as possible to help comfort younger children that were sent to live there. The dorms were built like regular houses, and they grouped together students of every age and gender to try to make a family. The dorms were two story houses; there were roughly three rooms in each, with one big kitchen, one living room, a garden, and several bathrooms in each. Every house had at least one college student in the house, and other people.
Of course not everyone agreed with this plan, so there were exceptions for people who wanted to live with only people there own age. And of course not member of a respected clan wouldn't live with little children. So in one of the houses lived only people older than sixteen. The people, who were fortune enough to live there, were only the 'hottest' people on campus. The house were these people lived was dubbed the "house where all the sexiest and hottest guys lived"a.k.a. h.w.a.t.s.a.h.g.l.. Everyday outside this house fan girls along with numerous fan boys surrounded it in every directions.
To be fair for the position where the fans girls and boys would stand, every fan had a number, and they rotated each day so everyone would have a different position. Except for the popular people, the popular people were always in the front. The occupants of the house loathed this for one reason; the most popular people in the school were always the bitchiest, snobbiest, richest, sluttiest, most superficial, people in the school. Well mostly anyways. Living in the house where Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Sasuke, Umazaki Naruto, Gaara, Hyuuga Neji, and Sai. There were two people per room in their three room house.
But a certain pink-haired girl came to the school of the middle of a term. All the rooms were booked, but the head of the school was the girl's aunt. At the time she was angered at the h.w.a.t.s.a.h.g.l. dorm for a prank that was pulled by an energetic blond student. So she put Sakura in the h.w.a.t.s.a.h.g.l. dorm. Sakura was infamous for her temper and her power packed punches. So according to the head mistress, she was killing three birds with one stone, she found a place for niece to stay, was punishing Naruto, and she figured it was good practice for the cold-hearted-bastards in the house to get used to living with a girl. So Sakura moved in. Itachi and Sai shared the biggest room, so Sakura roomed with them.
Why didn't someone sleep on the couch? Well there seemed to be a sort of curse on it. The details are vague since none of the people who lived in the h.w.a.t.s.a.h.g.l. dorm would talk about it much. But with some information from some fan girls and boys who were spying on the dorm. The couch seemed to give any one who sat on laid on it horrible bed hair that wouldn't go back to normal, serious back pains, and horrible nightmares about couches becoming alive and taking over the world. So that's why no one slept on the couch.
At first when Sakura met the occupants of the h.w.a.t.s.a.h.g.l. dorm, some of them hated her. But that was in the evening. When morning came Sakura came outside to meet the crowds of fan girls waiting outside. There is something you should know. That morning Sakura was P-I-S-S-E-D, Pissed. With capital letters. She had several reasons to be, she didn't get enough sleep, she had to stay in a room with two bastards, her housemates were very annoying, she didn't know where her first class was, she woke up to an idiot screaming, and she was late. So the girl was oh-so pissed off, and one of the things she didn't want to face then was a crowd of fan girls and boys who worshipped stupid bastards.
So what did she do? Sakura huffed and she puffed and she blew the fan girls away. Just kidding.
Flashback
'I hate those fucking bastards.' The fuming pink-haired girl thought as she raced through the house trying to get to her first class. 'I can't believe Aunty Tsunade put me with them.'
Sakura reached the front door and yanked it open. A big mistake. When the door was open, she was met with, according to her, a blast of shrieking banshees and unidentified flying objects thrown at her.
"I LOVE YOU SASUKE!"
"MARRY ME ITACHI!"
"YOU'RE THE BEST SAI!"
"GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAA!"
"LET ME BE YOUR BITCH NEJI!"
"YOU'RE THE COOLEST NARUTO!"
Needless to say Sakura's mood did not improve by this. Instead she grew angrier, and angrier, and angrier, and angrier.
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID SLUTS! YOU'RE JUST WASTING YOUR TIME WORSHIPPING THOSE BASTARDS WHILE YOU COULD BE DOING SOMETHING BETTER WITH YOUR LIFE! THEY WILL NEVER LIKE YOU AND IF YOU DO THIS IT'LL MAKE THEM HATE YOU EVEN MORE!"
"Hey, what do you know? You're just a dumb bitch with a large forehead who doesn't know what you're talking about." A fan girl number 73 said.
"Yeah." Other people agreed.
"You know she seems familiar." Fan girl number 101 remarked to the person next to her.
"Argh! I don't fucking care! Just get out of my way!" Sakura shouted frustrated.
"We're not going to move and there's nothing you can do about it." The fan girl replied smugly. Wrong answer. The normally happy emerald eyes of the girl turned red and she suddenly sprouted bull horns.
"I recognize her now," Fan girl number 101 exclaimed excitedly. "She was in my fifth grade class. Once a girl tried to bully her, so she attacked the girl. The girl went to the hospital with three broken ribs, a broke arm, a concussion, a black eye, and a phobia of the color pink."
There was silence after everyone heard fan girl's number 101's comment. A stray breeze blew by as the information processed through their thick heads.
"I'll give you five seconds to leave before I do something drastic." A red eyed Sakura hissed dangerously. "Five."
"Four."
"Thr-"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"RUN AWAY THERE IS A CRAZY HOMOICIDE RUNNING AROUND!"
"HELP ME ITACHI!"
"MMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!"
"STAMPEDE!"
Fan girls were running around everywhere. To the left, to the right, towards the school towards the gyms, even towards heaven. Inside the house the men watched impressed at the sight of their pink-haired roommate managing to do in five minutes what they tried to do for about a decade.
"Maybe she isn't that bad after all." One of them remarked. "Let's keep her."
End of Flashback
The fan girls stayed away after that. No one wanted to risk messing up there faces when there would be plenty of other places to ambush the bishounens. But that was in the past, and we will go back to the present now.
The cherry blossom was currently laying on a couch in the living room, with her other house mates. But they had classes, so one by one they would drift away. Tsunade, the head mistress, heard about her dear niece's condition and excused her from classes until she was ready to go back. So Sakura would be the only one in house all alone. But luckily, Tsunade wouldn't leave her niece defenseless for the whole day, so while she had business to attend to, she let her housemates too skip class. So it turned out they didn't drift away after all, and she wouldn't be alone.
"You must be hungry Sakura, why don't I bring you to the kitchen to eat?" Itachi said offering Sakura his smooth hand with a fluid motion.
"Thanks….Itachi, right?" Sakura asked as he pulled her up from the couch oblivious to the angered looks directed at him. He nodded in reply to her question.
"I'll make you your favorite breakfast Sakura." Naruto offered staring with eyes that were usually calm and collected than before. Everyone was staring at Naruto in surprise. Right now he was standing calmly and looked very different than his usual energetic self. Usually he radiated a presence filled with restless energy just waiting to be let out, but right now it was like a grown mature man. I bet you're wishing now that we stayed to watch him plotting.
"Knowing the dobe, he'll just burn the food." Sasuke snorted after they got over their shock. "I'll make it."
"All you know how to make is rice balls." Neji scoffed. "I'll make it."
"How about we go out to eat?" Gaara suggested. Since no one could cook that well in the house, and Gaara's suggestion was a good one. They all went out to eat.
If any fan girl or guy heard this conversation, they would be in the hospital right now having fainted from shock. Usually, the most members of the h.w.a.t.s.a.h.g.l. dorm used a grunt and one-word communication. But they weren't here, and Sakura lost her memory so no one fainted.
So where? Well of course they went to the place they always went. It was a place where no fan girl or boy could step into if she/he found it. It was called Ichiraku, a dingy place in the shady part of the Konoha. It was hard to find. For it had no sign and it was crammed between two other crumbling buildings. Usually, only thugs and drunks went to that place. Naruto had found it in his youth and loved the ramen there that had a special ingredient that no one else had.
As Naruto came to know his housemates better, he brang them along with him to Ichiraku. Slowly over time, Ichiraku became a regular place for them to go to. So there they went. Hand in hand down the yellow brick ro-. Wait, never mind wrong story. So there they went down the dark allies. Each discreetly pushing and shoving each other to try to walk next to the pink haired blossom.
"Where are we going?" Sakura questioned Gaara looking at him with bright curious eyes.
"Ichiraku. It's just around this corner." Gaara stated seeming to look ahead, but was watching her from the edges of his eyes.
'OMG! She's just sooooo cute when she's acts like that. I just want to squeeze the life out of her. I wouldn't mind if lost her memory forever!' The perverted Inner Gaara squealed.
'What are you talking about? Part of the reason we love Sakura is her old personality.' The sensible chibi Inner Gaara argued hugging his teddy bear.
'Oh right. Forget what I said then.'
"Hey we're here." Naruto said. He grabbed Sakura's hand and ran towards the restaurant.
The few people who were in there looked up curiously to see who would come into there at this time at day. When they saw that it was just Sakura, Naruto, Neji, Sai, Gaara, Itachi, and Sasuke who regularly came to Ichiraku, they just went back to what they were doing. That all sat at one long table with Sakura sitting between, Naruto and Sasuke. The waitress drifted over and placed down the groups' usual orders and went back behind the counter to continue to read her magazine.
"How the food Sakura?" Itachi asked smoothly in his deep velvety voice.
"It's delicious!" The girl announced cheerfully. "How come the waitress knew what we wanted?"
"We come here all the time." The onyx-haired guy on her right told her.
"Really? Like on dates?" She asked curiously.
"…"
