ShinobiDarkbeak you make me happy for always reviewing!
Ruriko89 I'm glad you think the last chapter extra awesome! Thanks a lot! You made me jump from my chair and do a series of kicks and punches when you said you will be cheering me on all my stories! I am so happy! I am planning on new story calledGoing AgainestAll Rules of Love orBreaking All Rules of Love! (which one do you like? all of you guys vote!) It is set in present day Tokyo. It's going to be another SasuSaku but I want to make it a triangle with Neji. Sakura will be an overprotective child with only one true friend who helps her to get to know the world better and make her know herself better. She is forced to an engagement to the Hyuugas. Oh Sakura will be rich and Sasuke will be a commoner. And the story will be different than any other story on this site. Well different than most stories anyway but the fic will be awesome! I just know it! Sakura's personality will flip 180 degrees from her personality here but she wont be boring I can tell you that much! You will see some of her stubbornness and hotheadedness but that's about it! Anyway keep on reviewing and you are welcome anytime for dinner! ;)
OH YEAH! Thanks for reviewing cuz! Konoha-angel aka midnite-phantom! Glad you took my advice and changed it from angel to phantom because if anything you are a demon! A demon who enjoys pissing me off! I swear you are such a Guru Guru Icey-Dono! I changed your previous nickname to this. I will always call you that until well who know until I think of another name to name you! And don't call me Hothead anymore! When my foot heals I swear I'm gonna kick that cheeky mouth of yours and send it flying over the moon! Just kidding but seriously I am considering it! I just can't have the reviewers think I am one heck of a violent person! But I am seriously thinking that!
And else1321 thx for the email but pls review here! I don't check my hotmail often! I consider it a bother! But anyway thax for reviewing!
Thanks for everyone who reviews! Oh ya! New characters by me and they are minor characters. Also I made a mistake in a previous chapter where Jiraya (aka Pervy-dono) tells Sakura she is in 2nd year. In this Academy there are 3 years of what I shall consider High School. The last years of school before the graduate. There are the Freshmen, Juniors, and Seniors. Sakura's grade is the 3rd year. She is a Senior. They are all 15 though. Use your imaginations! Another thing is this chapter will show how Sakura is faring in class and how she is with her fellow classmates. She really is friendly although Sasuke is an exception. She likes Naruto although she may not show it that well. and vote for the title name for my new story. see Ruriko89And one more thing REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
"A little late on my first class wasn't bad enough it had to also be second class! Somebody up there is trying my patience! Got to reach class fast! With a name like Zabuza the teacher gotta be a tough meanie!" huffed Sakura while she ran very fast to reach the other side of the huge school. Plus she didn't know where the gym is and she ended up lost and asking only about a dozen of students! 'Maybe he will not get mad!' she hoped silently.
No such luck! That little piece of hope shattered in pieces when she heard "HARUNO SAKURA! LATE TO CLASS I SEE! AND ON YOUR FIRST DAY! SO PHYS. ED. ISNT THAT IMPORTANT OF A CLASS, EH? BUSY SOCIALIZING! GO CHANGE NOW!" yelled a man next to her. She turned to see a huge man with small pointy teeth and short spiky hair. He would look handsome if he hadn't those teeth.
'Are they even natural?' wondered Sakura. "N-no sensei! I got lost you see! After all I am new and nobody was there to show me the way so I was lost!" she explained.
"So! It isn't my problem! GO CHANGE!" he ordered her.
"Yes sensei!" she answered a bit sharply. She was seriously pissed off! The teacher was taken back by her sharp tone but he didn't say anything. After she turned her back and went inside, a small smile appeared on the teacher's face.
'So she has some pride and isn't some silly girl who cries at being shouted at! Not like many girls in her class, those pitiful crybabies who follow the boys around like lovesick puppies! Interesting! No wonder the Hokage is very attached to this girl! She is like a pink miniature model of Tsunade-chan when we were in school. Interesting! Haruno Sakura…' the teacher thought to himself.
"The nerve of that teacher! Shouting at me when it's obviously not my fault that I don't know the way and ended lost so I had to ask a dozen students!" she mumbled angrily. She was alone in the dressing room, or as she thought. She mumbled even more until she got so pissed off she slammed her locker door so hard that it made a very big dent. It was very loud and violent. Suddenly she heard a little whimper.
"Who's there!" she called out roughly. Her voice trembling from anger. She was that angry!
A little white furry thing came running from behind the lockers. It was a little dog! She recognized him! "Akamaru!"
The little dog yelped and ran to her. She kneeled and picked him up. She pulled him to her chest for a big hug. 'He is so soft and warm.' She thought. She loved that feeling of softness and warmness. She wants to feel warm forever!
"Um...e-excuse...m-me…" a nervous soft voice came out of nowhere. "K-Kiba-kun asked me to g-get A-Akamaru b-back. C-can I-I have h-him! Please!" the voice belongs to a small girl with blue hair and pearly white eyes. She was very pretty and her face was red as a tomato from all that blushing. 'She really is shy! But she is also very nice. Despite her shyness she managed to go against the angry me for the sake of friendship. She is very sweet! I wish I had a friend who would try to get over their fear or habit for my sake! sigh never gonna happen! Hey maybe I could be friends with her!' Sakura's anger vanished completely. She was happy again.
"Hi! I am Haruno Sakura! Let's bring Akamaru to Kiba together! Okay?" said Sakura cheerfully.
"H-Hello, I'M Hyuuga Hinata. Okay we will go together after you get dressed." The girl smiled shyly. Sakura looked down at herself and saw she had nothing on but her underwear! How embarrassing! Sakura blushed so hard but managed to stay cool. "Y-Yes, of course! Wait for a sec!"
She wore the school P.E. uniform. A white short sleeve shirt with the Konoha logo on the back and dark green shorts. They are really plain and just right for sports. "I'm done! Come on lets go! Hinata-chan!" she smiled and ran to the door with Akamaru in her arms. Hinata was startled with the transformation. Sakura managed to look incredibly cute in her P.E. uniform while all the other girls look plain and ordinary.
"Sakura-san here tie your hair. It will get in the way." Hinata handed Sakura a white ribbon. Sakura smiled and tied her hair into a high ponytail. She looked even cuter. "Thanks Hinata-chan! Please drop the formalities! No –san just Sakura or Sakura-chan is fine!"
"O-Okay! Sakura-chan!" the girl lifted her head and smiled the prettiest smile Sakura ever seen. 'She is very cute when she smiles. This is great! I made a friend!'
"Let's go!" said Sakura cheerfully while she picked Akamaru. Both girls went to the door and entered the gym. Sakura smiled. Bad mistake! "HAVING FUN HARUNO? 10 MINUTES LATE FOR CLASS!"
"I was changing!" she muttered.
"We all change but we never took as long as you!"
"Sensei! I-" she was cut off by him pushing her in line.
"Just stand here"
She stood next to a boy and a girl she had never seen before. A boy with long brown hair and pearly white eyes just like Hinata. He has very soft pale skin. He looked almost feminine! But he is very gorgeous and muscular. 'I wonder if they are related!' the girl next to her had brown hair that is split into two buns. She was very cute. They both were much taller than her. She felt like a dwarf!
"Shino!" Zabuza-sensei checked his list of students. "Present!"
"Neji!"
"Yes sir!" the boy next to her said. 'So that's what his name is! Neji!'
"Hinata"
"Y-Yes sir!" she said softly in a shy voice. Sakura smiled when she heard her voice.
"Naruto!"
"Here!"
"Sasuke!"
"Hn!" came his reply. 'Geez! He is one ice block! Can't he even give one proper reply! And does he have to be in my class? Dammit!'
"Tenten!"
"Present!" the girl next to Sakura said. She is really cheerful and hyper.
"Kiba!"
"Here!" 'Kiba! I still have Akamaru! Weird! Shark-teeth-sensei didn't say anything! Could he be not that bad! Who knows!'
"Tomoko!"
"Present!"
"Mai!"
"Here!"
"Yuki!"
"Yes sir!"
"Kyohei!"
"Here sir!"
"…" Zabuza-sensei went on and on and the students answered.
"Sakura!"
"Here sir!" Sakura answered.
"That's everyone! Okay everyone we have a new student and all of you be good to her!"
"Yes sir!" the class said in unison.
"Good! Ok! First we will warm up without using your chakra to help you with your activities!" he told them.
"Yes sir! No chakra sir!" they all mumbled. 'Are we in the army or something? Coz this is weird! What kind of strict rule does this teacher go by? They are all like a machine with a boring program installed! This is sure boring!'
"Alright! Today we will take it easy since we have a new girl here. Only 15 laps! Go!"
'Only 15! ONLY 15! IS THIS GUY FOR REAL? IF THIS IS AN ONLY AND TAKING IT EASY WHAT WILL BE A NORMAL DAY LIKE! GEEZ!'
"Yes sir!" all students said in unison and ran.
Sakura ran to Kiba with Akamaru in her arms.
"Kiba!" she called for him. Kiba turned to face the owner of the voice. It was none other but Sakura and she was more beautiful than ever. He was too mesmerized by her to notice the yelping Akamaru in her arms. He blushed from the looks his friends were giving him. They were obviously signaling jealousy and he didn't blame them.
"S-Sakura-chan!"
She stopped right in front of him and smiled. He blushed harder. "I found this little pervert in the girl's locker room! Hinata-chan was trying to catch him and I helped her!" she held the dog in front of his face.
"Akamaru!" he smiled brightly. "Thanks Sakura-chan!" he turned to look for Hinata and saw her. "Oi Hinata-chan!" she turned to see him with Akamaru in his usual spot on Kiba's head and Sakura. "Y-Yes Kiba-kun."
"Thanks for getting Akamaru!"
She blushed and murmured a soft you're welcome and turned her head.
"Anyway! Thanks you two for getting Akamaru back!" Kiba thanked Sakura again.
"No problem!" she said cheerfully. "Alright! I'm gonna go run the laps now! See ya!" and with that's she ran off.
7 MINUTES LATER…
'13 laps done 2 more to go!' Sakura was in the lead.
"Sakura-chan!" a happy yet annoying voice called for her. 'Naruto! Ugh! I seriously am not in the mood for him! He is nice and all but god he is annoying!' Naruto was behind her and was trying to catch up to her. "Sakura-chan! Wait up!"
"What is it Naruto!" she said in an annoyed voice.
"What's the rush? Wait up!" he finally caught up to her. "I wanted to talk to you about something."
"What is it?"
"It's about Sasuke and the war that's going to start between you two! Sakura you should be careful! He is ruthless even to girls! He will shame you and won't let you drop out until he is satisfied!"
"Who says he will make me drop out or I will drop out! Don't you have any faith in me?"
"Of course I have faith in you Sakura-chan!" he quickly told her. "I just don't want you hurt. I like you Sakura-chan!"
"You like me? You don't even know me!"
"I know you more than you think!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh it's something for me to know and for you to find out!" he said cheekily.
"Che! I will figure it out! Don't worry!" she said stubbornly and determinedly.
"I'm sure you will." He mumbled softly.
"What?"
"Nothing Sakura-chan!"
"Alright! I'm gonna show that Jerk-sama and figure out what you know!" she said in a firm and determined voice while declaring her resolute promise.
"That's the spirit! Sakura-chan!" he said in admiration and stars in his eyes.
"Oh give me a break!" she sighed and rolled her eyes heavenward then smiled. "15 laps done! That was fast!"
"Ya Sakura-chan!"
Both students went to their teacher after their talk and after they were done with their laps. And both students were unaware of the eavesdropping raven-haired boy. 'So she plans to win! Che! This is interesting! And how the hell does Naruto know more about her!...why the hell do I even care? Shit! This is confusing! Must be from excitement of our challenge!'
Sasuke was confused. He felt an enormous wave of some foreign emotion that grasps his heart whenever he sees that girl smiling at another boy. He feels the overwhelming urge to kill the bastard right at the spot. When he saw her with Naruto all relaxed and smiling at his corny jokes and gestures and when he saw her friendly with Kiba and how she helps him and smiles at him made him angry. Very angry. Somehow even if they just met recently, heck!- their first meeting was less than 24 hours ago! He couldn't help but want to be the center of her attention. The only way he knew how to get it was by annoying her seeing how hotheaded she was. She couldn't help but react to anything he says and he liked that. He liked to know that he can get some emotion out of her. Even if it was anger. Of course all this didn't have to do anything with that beautiful face of hers and her curvy body. He never noticed the sway of her hips when she ran or how pretty she looks in a ponytail or how she makes that ugly uniform look amazing on her. Of course he didn't. Like hell he didn't!-but it didn't mean he was a pervert! It was just hard not to notice! He wasn't a pervert or someone who gets affected by a pretty face. No it wasn't her pretty face but her will and strength that many beautiful girls in the school do not have. It was safe to say he was attracted to her and who wouldn't be? She was strong and beautiful but what attracted him most was something no other girl he met had in her. She had a strong will that made her survive alone in the forest when she was a child and she wasn't made up! She was true to herself and to others. That what he was attracted to. Although her looks and body weren't that bad.
"Good! Everyone is done! Alright warm-up exercises!" Zabuza gave his next order.
After a series of warm-ups Zabuza declared that in three weeks there will be a sport festival where everyone must compete. "All of you will be divided into groups of three. The festival will be attended by the seniors only which is you guys and the senior Class A and B. Last year Class B surprisingly won first place and us second making Class A third. this year you will win first! Understand!"
"Yes sir!" the class replied but this time with determination.
"Good! Now all of you will pick a paper from this hat and whatever number you get another two will have it. They will be your team members and the number will be your team's name. Let's say you got number 1 the other two who also has the number 1 will be in your team. You can not swap numbers and you can't change your team or anything. What you got is what you will have! Alright make a line behind Neji!"
All students stood behind Neji who will be the first to pick. He put his hand in and pulled out a piece of paper.
"Number 7 sir!" he told his sensei.
"Ok! Next!"
It was Tenten. "Number 7 also sir!"
"Stand next to Neji" he told her. She nodded and stood next to the boy while a faint pink stained her cheeks. "Next!"
It was Sasuke's turn. He pulled the piece of paper. "Number 4." He said in a bored voice. The girls squealed. They all wanted to be in team 4 now!
"Quiet!" Zabuza said in disgust. "Next!"
It was some girl called Tomoko Yuuichi. " Number 6 sir!"
"Ok! Next!"
It was Naruto's turn. He picked a piece of paper and his face paled when he saw the number. "S-sir can I change?" he said weakly.
"What you get is what you will have! Spit it out!"
"Number 4!" he said in a shaky voice. He doesn't want to be in the same team as Sasuke-Bastard.
"Next!" and so on until they were all in their respective teams except two students. Kiba and Sakura. The two have to pick and there are only two teams that are missing a member. Sasuke and Naruto's team 4 which no girl managed to get in and Hinata and Shino's team 5.
"Looks like we won't be in the same team, huh?" Kiba told Sakura sadly. He hoped that they both will be in the same team.
"Yeah!" she said sadly. "To be honest, I really wanted to be in the same team with you." Sasuke was watching the two intently and was filled with rage over what he heard. 'She hast be in my team! I can't have her in any other team except mine!' he thought. He was already overprotective of her and he didn't notice.
Kiba pulled out a piece of paper. "Team 5 sir!"
Sasuke smirked a smug smirk towards Kiba and Sakura. Partly he for wanting to annoy Sakura and the other reason to bug Kiba. In his heart and mind Kiba and him are rivals for Sakura's attention. Sakura just gave a horrified look towards the smirking Jerk-sama and the now jumping happily Naruto who is calling her name.
"Yay Sakura-chan is with us! At least I have a pretty face to look at besides Sasuke-Bastard's ugly face!" Naruto was truly happy that Sakura was in the same team as his. He was secretly pleased that Sasuke was in the same team as him and Sakura. He believed that they are fated to meet and be together since the day he saw them five years ago on that hill. Yes, it's true! He believed it with all his heart that they are fated to be together always even if it takes a while for all of them to open up. It's funny. That day they formed a triangle. Up on the highest part of the hill he could see Sasuke and Sasuke crying both on the opposite end. If they all had chose to go to the opposite direction they chose that day they would have met a long time ago. Just a change of direction would have made the bitterness stop growing but it grew when they had no one. But he is sure now that now they are all here together, something will change. It is their fate and it is their destiny! Yes! He believed that with all his heart!
Ok! Wow that took me a long time! Sorry guys! I feel awful but I am trying! Now the story will start going up since it's the beginning of the competitions. I was thinking of a strong ending which is deep and different and unpredictable. I know it's too soon but I just can't help but think of a good ending so I can link all the upcoming events to make the ending powerful. And it came to me when I was taking a shower and singing a song of an anime show I like. For the first time I planned something beforehand which is very surprising seeing I am a very spontaneous person. Also I didn't proofread this chap all that good. I am very sick now. my fever won't go down and my throat is burning me! Also I want you to notice the changes in Sakura's personality. Ever since she was exposed to more people the more she let her guard down and act naturally. Sasuke doesn't love her, yet! I want just want to make that clear! The next chapter isn't really a chapter but a list of the students in Class C and the teams. Ok! And review! They are my inspiration! REVIEW!
