Magic, rivals and friendship?
By: dark kakashi m13 Chapter 4- New Friend…but then Tragedy came"We shouldn't let that stupid girl take over my throne." Shiriku said. " We should do something quickly, she's already attracting many guys."
"Yeah. I agree. Sai already touched her and even talked to her…I mean…scolded…and she just ignored it…what the- if I were just on her place that time, I should have kissed him already." Tenten sighed dreamily.
"If only we can frame her up on to something, that will make them mad…and Sakura will be their suspect and-"
"I know, why don't we kill his pet dog. Sasuke will surely get mad at her." Ino said.
"No, not that one. We shouldn't kill anyone."
"How about use Hinata…" Tenten pointed to Hinata running on the hallway and Sakura reading a book walking to Hinata's direction. Then they bumped one another, Hinata fell on the floor while Sakura nearly fell but then balanced herself by leaning on the wall.
"Sorry." Sakura said while picking Hinata's things that fell on the floor. "Here." She extended her hand to help Hinata get up. "Really sorry, didn't saw you coming, 'cause I'm mesmerized on the book I'm reading."
"No, don't be sorry…I was running and I saw you but it's too late. Hehe…" Hinata said.
"Oh. Well, I'm Sakura."
"Hinata."
"So, see you around then, bye."
"Bye." They went on different directions with a small smile on Hinata's lips.
------------------------------------------------------
"See…I told you…we can use Hinata!"
"Tenten…are you sure? You're Hinata's friend."
Tenten scoffed. "Sorry…didn't heard you right…did you just say that, I am Hinata's friend?"
"Yeah. You were talking to her last year and you're going to her house for sleepovers and other stuff."
"Hello…I'm just doing that because Hinata is Neji's cousin, duh, she's just my trophy friend, I'm only using her to see Neji and to be close to him. But it didn't work so…" Tenten did a shoo sign with her hand, "bye bye…" Shiriku and Ino smirked.
"Now, we can start our plan." They talked and talked and talked……buuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………
All of them smirked. "Let's just tell this to Temari and others when we meet them. Okay?"
"Sure, this will be great! When will we do this?"
"Perhaps, this Friday." They all giggled. "This is going to be good."
------------------------------------------------------------
Friday morning…
RING! RING! RING! RING! RI- BOOM! CRASH! AH! BUG! DUM! BUSH! ENK! ENK!
"What the-" Sakura looked at the floor. She saw her alarm clock…BRAND NEW alarm clock…BROKEN INTO PIECES AND WIRES STUCK OUT. And it's all because of her…
…Very cute puppy! How nice.
"Stupid!" she muttered. She got up and does some stretching until she's fully awaked but then a loud screech boomed out the whole house.
Sakura immediately went to see what's going on. She saw Temari screeching like no tomorrow.
"What happened?" Sakura raised her right brow.
"Somebody pooped in my carpet. And I know that you're the only one who can do it." Temari accused her. "Gaara and Kankuro never do such thing so you are the culprit. You're disgusting! Don't even know where to poop…stupi-"
"Woof! Woof!" Temari once again…shouted. "Oh my God, that puppy is so cute. Starting this day, that's mine!" Temari went near the puppy and carried it when suddenly…………
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Temari shouted as if she was raped.
Wanna know what happened? Here take a look…
Temari carried the puppy and put it up while staring at it when suddenly the puppy peed…on her hair, face and shirt. Now, who wouldn't get mad?
"BAD PUPPY! BAD PUPPY! YOU DESTROYED MY HAIR, MY MAKE-UP AND MY FAVORITE SHIRT! AUGH!" She shouted while pointing her hair, face and shirt.
'Serves you right!' Sakura thought. She picked up her puppy then went away.
'It's alright, I can still get my payback this afternoon. Just you wait, pinky!' Temari smirked.
--------------------------------------------------------
Sakura went directly to her classroom, feeling a bit nervous…and butterflies on her stomach.
She saw the I.H. gang went inside the classroom…'Another day ruined!' She thought with a frown on her face.
"Here they come!" Shiriku giggled then stood up walking towards them.
Her plan…
Walk in front of them and pretend to feel dizzy then fell. And because they're gentlemen, one of them should catch her then ask if she's alright and other stuff.
And so the plan began…She is now 3 meters away from them…2 meters…1 meter………
"Sasukeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" I.H. turned around and saw a panting Naruto, walking towards them. "Guess what?" THUD!
"Huh?" Everyone looked at the person behind the I.H. gang. And so they saw a wide-eyed Shiriku, her face red from embarrassment. Sakura snickered quietly…Shiriku heard her snicker because of her very sharp ears…She bolt up to go over to Sakura but then smacked her head with the table…and with that, she had a big red bump on her head. And now, she was totally humiliated. 'I'll kill you! Just you wait!' She thought while glaring at her.
"What are you looking at?" Sakura said.
"I'm not looking at you!"
"Well, I'm not talking with you!" Sakura smirked. Gaara just stared at her with a let's-talk look on his face. Sakura rolled her eyes. 'Whatever.'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lunch time…
Sakura hurriedly went out the classroom to go meet with Gaara. However, she didn't notice a certain person looking at her direction and followed her.
She passed by a narrow hallway when suddenly someone grabbed her from the back and pushed her on the wall.
"Uh! What the-"
"Shhhh!" Gaara covered her mouth. Then looked out to see if someone was there listening.
"I've got to tell you something, so don't do something stupid. Alright!" He removed his hand.
"Fine. What?" He looked at her eyes. "Don't shout after this, alright?"
"Uh, yeah. Sure." Gaara lowered his head…
…he whispered something to her.
But if you'll look sideways, it's like they're kissing.
Sakura has an 'o' shaped mouth and big eyes. She wanted to scream but then she just covered her mouth.
Someone screamed…not Sakura…but Shiriku did. Everyone looked at her even Gaara and Sakura. She pointed them. Everyone looked at her then at her finger and the direction where the finger is pointing, even the I.H. gang was there.
Everyone gasped, they saw Gaara holding Sakura's shoulder. His head bent near her.
"THEY KISSED!" Shiriku shouted.
"What the-" Sakura thought for some moment then realized what was happening. "No we didn't."
"YOU SLUT!" She scoffed. "ACTING INNOCENT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE! YOU CAN'T DENY THE TRUTH. I SAW IT WITH MY TWO EYES!"
"Oh sure! Whatever you say!" Gaara put his arm around Sakura's shoulder. He looked at her then winked. With that, she placed her arm on his waist.
"Can't deny the fact that we were meant to be." Sakura smirked. "Right?"
"Now, if you'll excuse us. We want to have privacy, not publicity, alright?" They walked away, hand-in-hand and bumped into Shiriku's shoulder. 'You'll pay for this slut! No one can get my throne!'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dismissal…
"Now, give me…" He computed on his hands. "…$2500. Come on." They handed him the money except for Naruto. He's patting every part of his body to find his wallet. "Oh no!"
"Why?"
"My wallet…IT'S GONE!"
"As if it's true. I know your style. You can't fool me, you global village idiot."
"I'm not an idiot and I'M saying the truth and nothing but the very TRUTH."
"Okay… don't shout. But if I found out that you're lying and you hid it… you'll pay me twice." He said with an evil voice.
"O-okay." He scratched his head while having a nervous laugh. 'Where did that stupid wallet go?'
------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Sakura…
'Stupid! Why did I even agreed with him.' She punched the wall nearest her. 'OUCH!' She rubbed her aching fist. 'And why did I even punched that damn wall.' She thought then groaned.
Flashback…When Gaara and Sakura was out of sight they detached their hands from each other and walked in different directions.
"Sakura, wait! I need to talk to you!" She looked back.
"About what?"
(sigh) "We should make a deal. Pretend that you're my girlfriend for a week or so, and it's finish."
"And why should I agree with your terms."
"It's my reputation we're talking about here, man."
"Don't care about your reputation."
"Just agree, you'll just pretend. Nothing more, nothing less, no harm done."
"Didn't you just say earlier that S.G.C. would be coming here next week? I mean… I'd be totally damned if they knew I agreed with that 'oh-so-low' deal with yours. I mean, we're cousins."
"It's just pretending. Just act like one. If you won't agree, I'll tell everyone here in the campus that we're cousins."
"It'll totally damage your 'oh-so-beautiful-reputation', you know? Together with your siblings."
"Then I'll just tell your gang that…"
"What?"
"That…they shouldn't get near you or else…"
Sakura scoffed. "Or else what?"
"…Something bad will happen to you."
"Like what?"
"Let's just say that, I'll ask my gang to bully you. Or the biggest bully here on school."
"Right. Frighten me as if I care. I still disagree with your deal."
"You really don't like. Okay. As far as you know, your mom called and told me something…"
"What?"
"Say yes and I'll state it."
"No."
"K. Be that way." He started walking slowly.
"Wait. Sure, but it's just for 1 week. Okay. Now tell me what mom said."
Gaara smirked. "She said that…your gang would be here next week. Bye bye." He ran off towards the canteen. "What the- Stupid jack-assed brat. Just wait 'til I get my hands on you."
End of flashback…
Sakura mumbled incoherent words on her way towards the main gate of the school.
"Sakura! Help us! Somebody got Hinata! They're at the garden at the back of the school. Please help her." A half-pleading and half-crying Shiriku and Ino went to her.
"What? You mean Hinata, the shy timid girl."
"Yeah. We're just walking at the garden when suddenly group of boys tried to steal our belongings and rape us."
"Please help Hinata, I think she's in danger now."
"Uh, sure?"
"They're at the garden at the back of the campus. Hurry!" Sakura went to the garden with suspicion that they're lying.
"Alright! Great plan! Now, we should look for Neji and tell him everything." They giggled then ran inside the campus and looked for Neji.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura reached the back of the school and saw the scene there. One of the boys tried to kiss Hinata but then failed.
"Hey, look. Someone's here." They snickered. Then went up to her. "I think she's the one."
"Yeah. Pink haired girl with LARGE FOREHEAD!" Everyone laughed.
"Whatever. I'm here to get Hinata, so if you'll excuse…"
"And who said that we'll just give her to you. Huh?"
"…"
"I'm talking to you pinky. Answer me."
"Just give Hinata back…I don't want any fight here."
"Heh…that's why we're here…"
'I knew it! That stupid, mushy, gushy girls!' She thought.
"And now, let the play begin." He snapped his fingers then the guys went around her and 2 guys are still holding Hinata…trying to rape her.
The big guy with a scratch on his cheek holds her arms and held it up so that she won't move. A guy got a metal stick and hit Sakura on the stomach with full force. She knelt down with frown and hurt crossing her face. "You'll pay for this!" She mumbled.
She kicked the guy that is holding her on the knees and he freed her. She turned around and punched his face. And kicked the one at her back.
"You monkey girl!" The guy held Sakura and someone punched her face. "I don't really punch girls but…it's what we're paid for…to destroy you!" The guy laughed out loud together with his companions. She felt his hold loosen, she removed her arms from his grip and attacked the person in front of her. She tackled down the guy who punched her then spit on his face.
"That's what you get from attacking a girl!" She smirked then punched his face and kicked his stomach. The guy grunted, he forced himself to stand, but Sakura quickly thrust the guy's back knee and felt his leg numb.
"Help me up!" No one moved. "Help me up, dingus! Let's get out of here." The guys that are holding Hinata freed her. After the guys left, she made her way towards Hinata. She saw that she's crying quietly and her shirt torn.
"I know that you're not alright." Sakura caressed her back. "Wanna go home?" Hinata nodded while swiftly wiping her tears.
"Here." Sakura removed her jacket and placed it on top of her. "Wear that. It will keep you warm."
---------------------------------------------------------------
With Inhumane Human…
"Hey, before anything else. Are you and Sakura really…you know…the stuff…" Naruto asked.
"Why? You jealous?"
"No. Just asking. I'm just curious. Are you really couples? I mean, if not, how did you start the conversation and…did you really kiss her?"
"No. I-"
"NEJI! NEJI!" I.H. turned around and saw Shiriku and Ino running towards them.
"What? Don't tell me that you want to date me 'cause-"
"It's not about date. It's about Hinata! Something happened to Hinata…S-s-s-sakura…yeah…I heard her…uhmmmm…"
"What? Can't understand you!"
"Well…I saw…yeah…I saw Sakura…doing something to Hinata…I mean…I wanted to help her but, there are guys there…I don't want to risk my life for her so I searched for you."
"And I also heard her say…something like…blackmailing…I guess…like…don't tell it to others and you know the blackmailing stuff and something will happen to her when she said the truth…"
"And…have you heard the rumor that…Sakura is a lesbian…and…she has a gang…and I think…her gang is the one that we saw a while ago with her. " The two nodded.
"Where are they?"
"I think they're at your house now." Neji ran quickly outside followed by the I.H. gang to Neji's and Sasuke's cars.
They reached Neji's house and quickly barged in and searched for Hinata.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Is this your house?" She nodded slowly. "Come on. Go inside, change your clothes and after that, come back here and return my jacket."
"No. Come inside with me." They entered the gate. "Please do me a favor. Don't tell this to anyone especially my cousin. Will you?"
"Uh, sure. I promise." She raised her right hand. "Thanks." They entered the main door.
"I'll just wait here."
"Sure. Sit down if you want."
"No, I'm fine here."
"Okay. I'll be right back." Hinata sobbed. She went up the stairs when suddenly tears began rolling down her cheeks. She wiped it immediately and continued walking to her room, but once again, tears began rolling down her cheeks. She inhaled deeply and looked up and found the I.H. gang looking directly at her. Her eyes wide open and she quickly wiped her tears away and looked at different direction.
"What happened?" Neji asked her cousin worriedly.
"Nothing. Dirt passed by my eyes that's why." She sniffed once again. Neji hugged her and looked at their living room. And there she saw Sakura leaning her back on their wall.
"How could you!" Neji said in a low deadly voice. "What?"
"Nothing. Go to your room. I have some important matters to finish."
"…"
"Go to your room! Fix yourself!" Naruto went with her.
"Okay!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sakura!" She looked up and found the five of them walking towards her, Neji leading the group. 'I knew this would happen.'
He suddenly gripped Sakura's neck with rage in his eyes. His hand was shaking because of anger and pushed her on the wall still gripping her neck.
"Ugh!" Sakura's face turned white.
"Neji let go of her! You'll kill her!" Gaara shouted. Still he didn't let go. Gaara held Neji's shoulder and forced him to free Sakura from his grip. Neji threw Sakura on the floor.
Cough cough, cough cough . She breathe using her mouth and exhaled deeply. She scoffed. "What do you think you're doing?"
"We should be the one asking you that, bi-otch!" Sasuke snapped back.
"What?"
"Can you please stop acting innocent? We know what you did to Hinata! So don't deny IT!"
"You're like Shiriku you know."
"Don't change the subject!" Neji retorted angrily. Sakura stood up and rubbed her temples and her nape.
"Whatever!"
Neji held her neck once again and pushed her on the wall. "Don't talk to me like that!"
"Neji! Stop that!" Gaara is now raging with anger.
Flashback…"Gaara, can you do a favor for me please."
"Uh, sure. What is it?"
"Can you please look after Sakura while I'm still here in Hawaii. I can't help but worry about her."
"Sure, I will."
"Thanks. If something bad will happen to her. Please call me immediately. I'm really worried."
"Sure. No prob."
"Bye."
"Bye."
End of flashback…"NEJI STOP IT!"
"What! You're telling me to stop? Why? Because you like her! Huh! I don't care! That girl is ruining our FRIENDSHIP! She's trying to destroy us. CAN'T YOU GET THAT?"
"NO! IT'S NOT TRUE!" Gaara sighed. "She did NOTHING to Hinata."
"I don't care! See, she's RUINING EVERYTHING!"
"I didn't do anything!" Sakura interrupted them.
"Yeah right! Stop talking will yah!" A very annoyed Sasuke said. She scoffed. "Whatever you say, jerk!"
"YOU! GET OUT!" Neji scolded her. "GET OUT!"
"Sure! I'm not deaf. Don't shout!" Sakura walked through the door when suddenly a hand grabbed her arm.
"You'll not go until this is finish!"
"Whatever."
Neji went closer to Sakura, and then slapped her hard, with the back of his hand.
"Augh!" She touched her cheeks and found a cut on it. It is bleeding because of Neji's ring.
"You'll pay for this, nimrod!" She made a fuck you sign then headed outside the house.
"Look what you did! You made yourself low! You actually slapped a girl! I can't believe you!" Gaara followed Sakura outside.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sakura, are you alright?"
"Yeah. Whatever. Just leave me alone."
"Tell me what really happened."
"Nothing happened." Gaara held Sakura's arm and made her look at him.
"What?"
"Did you do something to Hinata?"
"Why should I tell you? It's just between me and her."
"Don't be hard headed! Maybe after this we won't be friends anymore and it's ALL because of YOU!"
"I don't care. It's your fault! Why did you even have to stop Neji from what he's doing?"
"Now you're angry because I saved you. You should be thankful on the first place."
"I didn't ask for it. You did it by yourself!"
"…"
"This conversation is going nowhere!" Sakura left Gaara there, standing alone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"I already saw her chief!" Buzz!
"Good! Now watch her like a hawk!" Buzz!
"Yes chief!" Click!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sir, I already found her!" The chief bowed on the person sitting on the chair.
"Excellent! Now, do the plan!"
"Yes sir."
