A Piece of Hers
"So, why'd you call?" Sakura kindly asked.
"No reason really. I was just worried because you haven't called me in a long time." the said Gaara answered.
Sakura felt good to hear that he still cared about her. The pink haired girl got to her bed and rested there for a moment, leaving the computer open. Gaara was her friend from her old school and so were his siblings, Temari and Kankouro.
"How are Temari and Kankouro?"
"Well, they were also worried about you but I'm sure they can't wait to hear that you are fine." There was a silent pause and all you could hear was silent breathing until the computer buzzed.
It was Ino. She was typing stuff on the chat room…more like spamming it. Sakura just rolled her eyes and read her message. She told Gaara to hold on for awhile.
"What? Shikamaru asked you out?" Sakura practically screamed out. She typed as fast as she could.
Sakura: Are you sure he asked you out?
Ino: What do you mean?
Sakura: I mean, you sure it wasn't the other way around?
Ino: Well, oh, I dunno.
Sakura: What do you mean 'I dunno'?
Ino: Fine, it was SORT OF the other way around…
Sakura: Oh Ino!
Ino: What! He started it!
Sakura: lol
Sakura: So when is it?
Ino: Next Friday, 6:00pm
Sakura: Wow, w8. Brb
She got the cordless phone and placed it on speaker. 'Now, why didn't I just do that in the first place?'' she thought silently.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. So, how you been?"
"Oh, fine. Tenten suddenly just dropped out of school; you know what happened to her?" There was also a tone of worry in his voice.
"She is here. Anyway, do you still remember how we met? I mean, with Temari and Kankouro…" He heard a chuckle on the other end of the line.
"Of course I do."
FLASHBACK
A little girl with unnaturally pink hair was roaming around the desserted hallways of a school. She seemed to be lost. No one was there to help her. What now?
"Oh no. I think I am lost. I hate being new in schools." She was eight years old and was in a very depressed state now.
Her eyes felt watery, she was frightened, alone, and lost. Nowhere to go, the girl just ran outside the school and to a place wherever her unconscious legs could take her. Under a tree, in the school field, she went.
Hours later, after school, three children were gradually walking outside of school and were on they're way back home until the youngest one spotted pink beneath a tree. He tugged his companions and ran to the unknown thing. He stared closer to observe what it was and realized that it was a girl sleeping.
She woke up after moments of poking her. Her eyes were red and her neat hair from awhile ago was now messier than when she woke up.
"What? Okaasan?" She glanced up with her big emerald eyes, only to see that it was a blonde and two guys. No, definitely not her mom.
"What's your name? If you're looking for your mom, we don't know her. Get up." the seemingly eldest one answered.
"Oh—Okay…" She got up slowly and rubbed her eyes harshly.
"My name is Haruno Sakura, what is yours?"
"I am Temari." The blonde, eldest answered.
"Kankouro." The other boy said.
"Gaara." The youngest, red head answered.
"Do you know where I am?" curiously, she asked.
"You are in Suna College. A school composed of College, Grade School, High School and Preschool." The one named Kankouro answered, rather intelligently.
"You shuldn't be here if you don't know where 'here' is, you know?" Temari said, slightly offending the little girl.
"I am sorry." She whispered very low, letting anyone hardly hear. Only Gaara did.
"It's okay. Let's be friends from now on. Then we will help you around the school." He said with a warm smile.
Sakura looked at him, shocked and then beamed.
"Sure." She nodded and then, begins a long friendship filled with happiness, friendship, and etcetera.
End FLASHBACK
Another buzz was heard once more from the computer that made Sakura awaken from her daze. She approached the computer looked up her list and saw that Tenten and Hinata were finally online.
"Finally, I won't be alone with---aww, whatever." She mumbled to herself. She was invited to a conference so she accepted it.
Ino: You guys! Shikamaru asked me out!
Sakura: Don't listen to her. It was the other way around…
Tenten: XD
Hinata: lol
Ino: By the way, what took you guys so long?
Hinata: …well….Naruto-kun…ehh…
Tenten: Neji made me stay behind for some reason…
Sakura: Okay. Oh yea, Tenten, Gaara is on the phone and was wondering how you were doing
Ino: Is Gaara a guy?
Tenten: What do you wanna know about him?
Ino: Is he hot?
Tenten: Erm…Sakura, help me out…
Sakura: Don't bet on it
'Ugh, I wouldn't allow Ino to ever hit on him…' She silently thought. The speaker on the phone voiced out something.
"Sakura? Are you there?"
"uh, yeah. Sorry. I'm kinda lost right now." There was a silent pause in everything. No text was typed from her friends, and Gaara didn't say anything. Then, he spoke.
"Hey Sakura, wanna meet up sometime?" This startled her a bit.
"Us?"
"And Tenten." She smiled at the thought of them hanging out like before. When was the last time they did that?
"Sure, when?"
"What about next Saturday?"
"Sure. That sounds fine to me. Hold on again. I'll ask Tenten."
She typed on the computer.
Sakura: Hey, Tenten, Gaara wants to know if you would wanna go hang out with us next Saturday.
Tenten: Sure! I'd love to.
Ino: I am so OP! (it means out of place just so you know)
Sakura: Oh, sorry. How is your project going for lit?
'That 'otta shut them up while I talk to gaara.' She thought once more.
"She accepts."
"Great. Oh, gotta go. Temari wants to talk to her 'girlfriends'". Sakura chuckled as she heard muffled screams of the blonde behind.
"Okay, see you soon! Bye!" They placed down the phone. Sakura turned once more to her computer.
Ino: Well, my partner…as usual…says it's troublesome and doesn't want to use his above-200 IQ, so…there.
Hinata: Well, I love mine. Naruto-kun did it all by himself. He even titled it as 'My heart as Ramen'. Isn't it cute?
Sakura just sweat-dropped at this.
Tenten: Neji couldn't think of anything brilliantly so I told him my idea and even complimented it, saying that it was sweet and all.
Sakura: I see.
She checked the clock and saw that it was time to eat dinner already. She said her goodbyes to the three and rushed downstairs to check if her parents were home. Sadly, they weren't.
This meant she had to make dinner on her own. She got the easy-mac-and-cheese box, and whipped up her own dinner. After eating, she went upstairs to sleep. Time flew so fast, you know?
In the morning, she woke up and saw that it was really early and couldn't go back to sleep so she decided to put on her clothes to take a walk. She crept out of the house as silent as she could as to not wake up her parents.
The morning breeze was as refreshing as always. Sakura walked to the park, which wasn't so far away. There was a bench for free so she took it. Looking around her, the park was empty. Heck, who would be up 4am?
After 10 minutes or so, Sakura spotted a little boy walking alone. He looked very sad as he walked. He sat down right beside her, as if not even realizing she was there to start. She observed his every movement.
Out of the blue, a girl comes out. Surprisingly, she had pink hair just like hers. The little girl approached the little boy and patted his back, as if she were cheering him up. His silent sobs broke into tears. No reaction came from the little girl; she just smiled at him while she hugged him, cheering him up.
Sakura couldn't make out their faces, eyes to be precise, for it was all black. Her emerald, green eyes noticed the little girl's mouth move a bit, whispering to the boy. She couldn't hear it so she lowered a bit, even though it wasn't her business to.
For some reason, the boy stopped crying and smiled back at the girl. There was something Sakura heard out of the boy at least. It sort of made Sakura's heart skip a beat.
"I promise…I won't forget you. We will see each other again. That's a promise!" was what the boy whispered back to the little girl. They looked like they were seven years old.
To Sakura, this seemed all too familiar. Her heart stopped beating for a moment and time passed quickly. She couldn't breathe… heat was pressured upon her. It was killing her. She fought desperately to fight back this feeling she felt.
Everything went black. It was quiet… until she heard a voice.
"Sakura! Wake up!" Sakura shot her eyes open as she realized the voice.
"Mom?" She looked at her surroundings and saw that she was in her room, facing her parents.
It was just a dream. It sort of relieved Sakura but she couldn't quite forget it yet.
"Are you okay sweetie?" Her mom had sincerity in her eyes and so did her father.
"Don't worry, I am fine mom." She said reassuringly, with a grin.
"Glad to hear it. We heard you mumbling just as I was about to wake you up." Sakura blankly stared at her father until she realized something.
"Oh no! I'm late for school!" Sakura hurriedly took a bath and dressed up. While she did this, her parents just slowly went out of the room.
"Bye mom, bye dad!" She ran outside, towards school, skipping breakfast.
This was completely opposite of her dream. Still, one thing still wondered in her head, why did she have that dream and why did it seem so familiar? And lastly…
Why did the little girl have pink hair while the little boy had… blue hair?
AN: Hoorah! I'm done! Just so you know, this was a very spontaneous things so I don't clearly know what is happening, I just need to rest because it's 10pm already and what's more, I have a tournament tomorrow! I know everything is rushed and I am sorry. Well, anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. Wish me luck. If you have any questions, ask on. If you have flames, flame on. XDD
