XA/N: Masashi Kishimoto owns Naruto. Not me. This is my latest story. If you read what I have posted already and are waiting for me to update it. I will as soon as I get the inspiration to write the chapter that needs to written. Have some faith in me please? And as always read and review please. "Italics" is Inner Sakura. Italics are thoughts. Bold are sound effects. All jutsus used can be found on the wikis. If you ask I can post the links of the wikis that I use for the jutsus since I use them regularly in role play spars.

Chapter Five: Raina attacked?

Raina sighed as she looked at her hands as they wrapped around her small cup of tea.

"I don't know what is going on with my eye. It does this whenever I get upset to the point where I snap." Raina explained as she stared into her tea. Naruto and Sakura looked at her, dango sticks sticking out of their mouths. Sasuke took a sip of his tea, avoiding the dango since he didn't like sweets that much.

"So in other words, you're a freak." Sakura stated causing her three team mates to glare at her. "What? It's true." "Cha… everyone was thinking it!"

"Sakura… that's mean. Raina isn't a freak." Naruto defended the red head as she grunted and pushed herself up to her feet using the wall for support.

"It's okay… Naruto… I'm used to hearing it. 'Freak.' 'Monster.' I heard those all the time while growing up. Being told to die…. Trying to kill myself to get away from the pain that was caused by the words… Nothing new…" Raina said before she took one last sip of her tea and stepped over Sasuke to get away from them.
"But Rain…" Naruto trailed off as his new teammate places a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her to see a sad smile, noticing that she was trying to fight off tears.

"Gomen Naruto… I'll meet you at Ichiruki's later for some ramen." She told him before she tugged on a piece of Sasuke's hair gently. "Later Jackass." Raina then left the store and slowly made her way down the street, after she made sure to leave money to pay for her tea; leaving enough to pay for Naruto's as well. Sasuke looked at the money and counted it quickly.

"She left enough to pay for two teas… And she didn't have too…" Sasuke muttered before he set it back down on the table. Naruto looked over at Sasuke and gave him a questioning gaze.

"Did you see her eyes? When she left?" Naruto asked Sasuke as he looked at him. Sasuke nodded his head.

"Yeah…" Sasuke grunted before he finished his tea. Sasuke put money down on the table and stood up. "I'm going after her, Dobe." Sasuke told Naruto, having decided to ignore Sakura. Naruto just nodded his head before he finishes his tea and gets up as well.

"I'll help look for her." The blonde responded as he starts to walk out the door. Sakura just stays where she is in disbelief. She stayed like that for five minutes before Kakashi reappeared.

"Well now… I was expecting all four of my students… not just one." Kakashi walked over to Sakura as he spoke. "Where did the other three go?"

"I said something that pissed Raina off again and she left. Sasuke and Naruto went looking for her." Sakura replied coldly as Kakashi looked at her and sighed.

I feared that Sakura would be cold and a little mean to Raina, but something tells me that this is something more than a simple crush rivalry. Kakashi thought as he sighed softly. "Sakura… what did you say exactly?" Kakashi asked as he looked at her.

"I said she was a freak. She was talking about how she didn't know what caused her eye to change." Sakura said as Kakashi sighed more and ran a hand through his hair.

"Sakura, you know… even those who treat their friends like trash are worse than scum as well." Kakashi said before he disappeared. Inside, Kakashi was pissed. He trained his team to understand that those who abandoned their friends are worse than scum. Sakura, to him, had abandoned Raina. Sasuke and Naruto looked all over for Raina, but never found her. Kakashi told them to get some sleep and to meet at the same place as always tomorrow once he found them. The next day Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto were standing on the bridge waiting for Kakashi when Raina showed up.

"Hey guys." Raina yawned as Naruto and Saskue looked at her before at each other.

"Rain, where were you? Teme and I looked all over for you!" Naruto exclaimed as he gave her a tight hug. He was worried about her ever since he saw the look in her eyes yesterday. He knew that look well since he wore it before.

"When I don't want to be found, I make sure I can't be found." Raina hugged Naruto back. Once Naruto let her go, Raina leaned against the railing next to Sasuke.

"You okay?" Sasuke asked her as he looked at her from the corner of his eye, pulling on her hair lightly. Raina nodded her head just as Kakashi appeared above the four.

"Hey guys… sorry I'm late, I had to find a different route. A black cat walked in front of me." Kakashi watched as Naruto and Sakura yelled at him for lying. "Let's go guys. We will have missions." Kakashi led the four off on their various missions.
After completing the missions Sakura tried to get Sasuke to go out with her and like usual Sasuke denied. Raina rolled her eyes and walked away from them.

Sakura really needs to stop to get with him... Raina thought as she groaned when she heard Naruto shouting. "Now what did he do…" Raina trailed off as she turned around and started running towards him. She spotted Konohamaru being held up by a man with purple face paint while a blonde with four pig tails standing next to him.
"Konohamaru!" Naruto shouted as Raina walked into view. The girl spotted Raina and smirked as a stone came hurdling, hitting the boy in the hand.
"What are you asses doing in our village?" Sasuke asked as he tossed a stone up and down.
"Sasuke!" Sakura cheered as Raina noticed sand starting to wrap around her ankle.
Oh this is not going to be fun… Raina thought as she looked up at Sasuke, but noticed one person on the other side of the tree. Suddenly she was yanked up into the air by her ankle. "AH!" Raina shouted before she started laughing as she held onto her shirt so it didn't fall down.

"Raina!" Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke shouted as they looked at her, confused as to why she was laughing.

"I'm okay." Raina said as she looked over at the tree. "Is this seriously how you are going to greet me?" She called over the person.
"Hn… Can't break tradition of how I greet you." Someone near Sasuke grunted.
