I made a HUGE mistake in the last 2 chapters! You see Hikaru! She isn't supposed to be included with the friends list! Just forget that Hikaru was introduced along with Tenten, Temari, and Kin! Ok! And replace whatever Hikaru said with Tenten or Temari ! Ok! See I told you I didn't check! Because I was in a hurry to post it! So you can read it! I replaced the chapter now. you don't have to read it just replace whatever Hikaru said with tenten or temari. Hikaru is a minor character. She isn't important. And I want to read some reviews!
hagane-girl, thx for beta reading! i told u i am going to wait now no matter what! even if it kills me!
"HYUUGA NEJI IS COMING TO MY SCHOOL!" Sakura practically screamed. She fell to the floor dramatically and cupped her face with her hands. "That's it! My freedom is over! My life is over! Isn't it enough that I am already engaged to guy I don't even know? Does he have to come now and take away what I thought will be my only year of freedom and happiness!"
The maids sweat-dropped but felt sympathy toward their young Miss.
"Miss, please, we don't like to see you like this…" the poor servants had no idea how to deal with the overdramatic Sakura. To tell you the truth, no one
does. Their young Miss has occasional emotional outbursts. No one knows how to deal with them, except one, Naruto!
"Call master Naruto! Quick! Hurry before Miss gets angry and explodes!" one of the servants called out to another while she quickly ran away.
"Oh no! My life! I have waited for so long to be free now I am chained once more! And it happens that my parents are away! I would have been more free!" suddenly, she stopped and stared at the ground. Her eyes no longer visible, her hair covered half of her face, casting a shadow which covered her features. She seemed dangerous all of a sudden, even menacing. Her presence was threatening. She started laughing softly, then it got louder and louder till it reached the point where it became hysterical.
"ITS ALWAYS LIKE THIS! WHENEVER I GET MY HOPES HIGH THEY ALWAYS GET CRUSHED! THE HIGHER MY HOPES THE STRONGER THEY GET CRUSHED! HAHAHAHAHA! I AM SICK OF THIS! I AM SICK OF IT ALL!" she started to sob. It was amazing how she changed from being dramatic, to being angry, to being hysterical, to finally being depressed. It was really sad and funny in its own twisted way.
"SAKURA! DON'T CRY! NARUTO IS HERE FOR YOU!" Naruto came through the door with amazing speed. Fat drops of sweat were rolling down his forehead.
"N-Naruto…" Sakura sniffed. Naruto smiled. She was a sight alright. A puffed up blue and purple nose, red eyes from crying, red cheeks from overexerting herself, pink hair, and green eyes. Yup, she was the most colorful girl on the planet right now.
"Wow Sakura!" Naruto stared at her in awe.
"What?"
"You have every color of the rainbow on your face!" he exclaimed. She laughed and yelled at him. "Baka!" Naruto smiled sheepishly.
"It's true!" he told her.
She stood up and went to see herself in the mirror. She took a look at herself and a frown formed. She sighed. "Leave it to you to get things incomplete!" she scolded. "I am still missing orange and indigo!" she told him cheekily.
Naruto laughed. She smiled. The staff sighed in relief. She was back to normal.
The two went to her room and she told Naruto about Neji coming back and how its unfair. He listened to her intently and saw her obvious distress so he tried to comfort her. She was glad for it. It helped her a lot to know he was always there for her. After he listened to her, he gave her advice. To accept what will happen but she should not let it get in the way of her freedom and happiness because after all they weren't still married. And he would be there to punch the daylights out of him if Neji decides to interfere.
After their conversation, he left as it was getting late. At the door he stopped and faced her with a concerned face.
"Sakura, your nose is getting bigger! Did you get anyone to check it for you? If you didn't, have Hinata-chan check on you! She is great!" he blushed
when he said her name. Sakura saw this and a sudden tightness settled in her stomach. He wasn't supposed to get close to any girl that much other than her. She was his best friend and he was hers! It wasn't fair!
"Uh, yea…I got one of the maids to look at it! Nothing serious!" she told him. he eyed her suspiciously.
"Sakura! You're lying! You didn't have anyone look at you!" he accused and scolded.
"Fine! I didn't! I will let this Hinata person check my nose out!"
He smiled, satisfied. They said goodbye and he left while she closed the door and went inside. She climbed the stair and went to her room. She showered and brushed her teeth. She wasn't in any mood to eat anything. She looked at her homework and sighed. 'It isn't due until a few days…sigh I shouldn't let this bother me! I am not usually like this. Leaving things until tomorrow…sigh SNAP OUT OF IT SAKURA! AH HELL! JUST go to sleep!' she sighed in defeat. (a/n: inner Sakura appears! Outer sakura will never say hell! Ok! Gotta clear things out!)
She turned off the lights and opened the window, then went to her bed. it was really early to go to sleep just yet but her day was exhausting and she
didn't care. She cuddled her teddy and closed her eyes. "life is so not fair to me…" she muttered. And went to sleep.
MORNING…
BEBEEP BEBEEP BEBEEEP BEBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
The little pink haired girl stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. She yawned and stretched her arms. She smiled at the beautiful sunny day but then suddenly her hands flew to her nose. It felt big and hurt her a bit. She quickly got off the bed and went to see herself in the mirror. She gasped at the sight of her nose. It was BIG! and BLUE and PURPLE! It was hideous! Absolutely HIDEOUS! She felt awful too. Her supposedly happy day just turned gloomy as a heavy cloud.
The maid came in to check if she was awake and immediately gasped at Sakura's nose. "Miss! Your nose! I really should have looked at your nose yesterday! It looks horrible! Absolutely horrible! What a shame! You had such a pretty nose!"
"And a good morning to you too Momo-san." Sakura drawled out with a frown. The maid whose name is Momo was embarrassed at her behaviour. She
blushed.
"Good morning Miss Sakura. I am sorry about that, it was just I was worried!" the maid apologized and explained.
Sakura sighed. "I know, its okay." Then she turned to see her reflection once again. "It really looks horrible, doesn't it?"
"Hai…it does…it looks ghastly miss. Absolutely ghastly." Momo admitted. Sakura just stared, stunned by the maid's bluntness. Then she laughed. It was refreshing to hear something else then praise. The maid joined Sakura in her laughing.
Sakura caught a glimpse of the time and immediately stopped laughing. "I am going to be late! Its already 8 o'clock! School starts in half an hour!" she exclaimed and hurried inside her bathroom.
After she washed her face and brushed her teeth. Then she wore her uniform and brushed her hair. Decided she should let it loose and went downstairs to eat a quick breakfast. Real quick. Noting but milk and a muffin with sugar on top. Her favourite, but it really wasn't much of a breakfast and she ate it in the car.
'I wish I could go to school walking like all other kids do. It's so much fun! At least it seems so! Walking with my friends down the streets and laughing with them. Wow! I wish I was a normal kid with an average life! I could ask Kenkaro-san but I don't think he will agree. Oh well, I really should be satisfied with what I got! Hmm, now that I got to sit down and relax, I feel that I forgot something important. What is it? I am sure it will come to me sooner or later if it is really important.'
"Sakura-chan, did Naruto take you home yesterday?" her driver, Kenkaro asked.
"No, it wasn't Naruto but someone else." It wasn't the complete truth but in a way it was. If he knew that she was lost and if it wasn't for that boy Sasuke, she wouldn't be at home but crying somewhere on the streets. Probably in some dark alley where no one can see her.
"Really? Who is that someone?"
"A friend." She told him. she didn't want to tell him it was really a boy she bumped into when she was lost and he helped her. And it also turns out that they are in the same grade.
She was being difficult and they both knew it but she didn't want to tell the whole truth to anyone. What would happen to her freedom if she told Kenkaro that a total stranger who by pure coincidence happened to be in the same school as her took her home because he felt sorry for her? That will be the end of the little piece of freedom she currently has. Her wings would be tied up in chains and she will be thrust into a cage. At least that's how she
imagined herself. A chained up white dove waiting to be free. Struggling for freedom. Okay that's an exaggeration but still, she wants freedom more than anything. And she has a bit of it now and she doesn't want to let go. Never!
Kenkaro sighed. then he changed the subject to something even more distressing. "Sakura-chan, what happened to your nose?"
Sakura rolled her eyes in frustration and pouted. "I know it looks horrible and ghastly but its nothing, really!"
"yes I know how it looks but what exactly happened to make it so horrible and ghastly?"
"a basket ball accident." That was all she was going to say. No more.
"An accident?"
"Yes!" she really was getting frustrated.
"Did you get someone to look at it?"
'He won't quit those personal questions! Its driving me crazy! Why does everyone need to know about every single thing that happens to me?'
Sakura knew if she said no, he won't quit with all these questions. "Actually, I heard that the school nurse is awesome with injuries like this so I am going to see her today. Naruto said she is great. What was her name again? Ah. Hinata-san. So don't worry Kenkaro-san, I will have someone with excellent nursing ability to look at my horrible and ghastly nose. Okay! Oops! Here is my school! No need to take me all the way to the gate! See you Kenkaro-san and take care."
"Y-yes, be safe and take care." He was startled by her abrupt departure.
"Bye!" she took her bag and closed the door. She turned to leave but then Kenkaro opened the window to ask another question.
"Sakura-chan, shall I pick you up today? Or will Naruto or that friend will take you home?"
"I don't know…I guess you should come to get me this time."
"Okay Sakura-chan! Have a great day!"
"Thanks! I will!" she left and went inside the school grounds. 'I hope…now what was that thing I don't remember?'
She was smiling and was heading for the door. She heard some girls speaking about a new exchange student. 'wow! A new exchange student today! Yesterday the school got me, a new exchange school student! And today another exchange student! I hope we can be friends!'
She heard more and more about this exchange student and how good-looking that person is. 'I wonder who this person is? School still didn't start and he or she are already popular!'
Then she passed a group of boys who were also discussing the new student. She heard something about good looks and money. 'money eh?'
Her eyes widened in realization. She froze in her tracks and only a thought crossed her mind. 'I remember…Hyuuga Neji is here!'

Sorry if I didn't say anything for some reviewers! I am dead tired right now! Next time I will personally thank you all like what I do in fate what binds us together. Ok! Although I stopped now I will continue now! Did u know that our Sheikh aka Emir(the prince, we don't have kings in Kuwait) died. I cried! He was like a father figure for all of us. We don't even call him Sheikh Jaber we call him Baba(papa in English) Jaber. I never cry! But I grew up loving Baba Jaber and now he is dead! I didn't have the chance to meet him! In two yrs I would have been shaking his hand and he would be the one to graduate all of us highschool students. I wanted to shake his hand and talk with my Baba Jaber! I seriously cant believe he is dead. I am not accepting it! He died Sunday, Jan 15! I am writing it but I still cant believe it! Sigh! I don't think I will ever adjust to the fact that he passed away….
