Chapter 2

"I hate it here."

Kakashi sighed as he loaded their luggage on the carriage they were about to board on. "My dear Sakura," He sent her a sharp look. "We've only been here for a few minutes and yet here you are complaining on every single detail you find different from our old town."

The rosette pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. "You know how I hate change…"

"I do." Kakashi smiled. "The reason why I know this move will be for the better of you." He took her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "You might just find out that change may be good for you, my cherry blossom."

Sakura scowled as she tore away from his hold. "Don't be a hypocrite Kakashi," she muttered as she boarded the black carriage, the coachman awaiting their orders.

Kakashi watched her with a bitter smile, "As I have said, maybe this move will be for the better… for both of us."

Kakashi secured their luggage once more to make sure that nothing falls off, getting in the carriage next to the irate teen; he spoke their destination which the coachman happily complied with by immediately setting off.

"Cross Academy, my good man."

One known fact about Sakura, is that she absolutely-positively hates being coddled with burning passion.

"Are you okay?" The brunette next to her questioned with a worried gaze, "You're not getting tired are you? Do you want to rest?"

Kakashi and She had arrived at Cross Academy earlier than expected. They were met by the Headmaster himself; Kaien Cross. Apparently He and Kakashi go way back and decided to 'bond' and 'catch up' on what they have missed out on these past years. Sakura sighed as she remembered the 'tearful' reunion between the two.

"Sir, we have arrived." The coachman announced as he opened the carriage door.

Kakashi was the first one to get out, he scanned the surroundings and smiled at the peaceful feel that surrounded the school grounds.

"…I hate it here more."

Kakashi couldn't help but sigh as he turned to see Sakura peering out the window with a bored look on her face. "Princess…"

Sakura's face scrunched up in disgust at the use of the childhood nickname. "Fine." She stood up and jumped into the awaiting arms of Kakashi who smiled in triumph as she pouted in anger.

"Well… Well... Well…" A deep masculine voice suddenly spoke out. "If it isn't scarecrow."

Kakashi turned to the source of the voice and hid an amused smirk. "It's been awhile hasn't it…? Kaien?"

Sakura peered over his shoulder and saw a man who seemed to be in his mid-twenties that had his hair tied up into a pony tail. His choice of clothing was very odd, in contrast to his attractive face.

Kakashi freed Sakura as he greeted the old colleague with a firm handshake. "Nothing changed since the last time I saw you…"

"Speak for yourself!" Kakashi chuckled as he patted him on the back non-too gently. "You haven't aged a bit."

Sakura stared on how the two interacted with such familiarity that she had never seen Kakashi show to any living thing, other than her and a handful of people, ever.

"Remember when—"They completely forgot about her…

Sakura pouted as she walked closer to the conversing pair, and tugged on Kakashi's shirt, "Kakashi…" she whined as she hid her face into her back.

"Saku—Where are my manners," He chuckled and pushed the girl forward. "Kaien, meet Sakura."

Sakura took advantage of the close contact to closely examine the strange man that Kakashi had actually interacted with like a normal—well as normal as he could get, human being.

She averted her gaze when his eyes started to stare her down. "Y-Yoroshiku…" She mumbled and gave a small bow of greeting.

Without any warning she was instantly swooped into a pair of muscular yet gentle arms and squealing soon followed after.

"LET ME KEEP HER!"

Kaien absolutely fell in love with Sakura as soon as she stepped forward, wearing Kakashi's choice of attire for her: a white and black gothic Lolita dress that complimented her pale complexion, her sparkling emerald jade eyes and her long exotic pink locks. After Kakashi had pried her off the crazed cute loving headmaster of Cross Academy from her person, he introduced them to his adopted daughter; Yuki Cross.

"A-Ah! S-Sakura-san, p-please be careful! You might get hurt!"

Sakura scowled as she walked faster to a random direction yet she could still hear Yuki running after her yelling for her safety. She growled when she heard Yuki shout her name out loud over and over again when she almost tripped. "Sakura-san! Be careful!"

'Curse Kakashi for making her believe that I need assistance…'

Kakashi smiled and patted her on the head as Kaien introduced his adopted daughter.

"Well Yuki-san, I'll be leaving Sakura into your hands," He pushed her forward. "But please keep an eye on her, she is incredibly fragile." Sakura glared at the man and attempted to elbow him in the ribs, but before she could do so Kakashi already had his arm around Kaien's shoulder, the two of them heading out of town.

"I'll see you later my dear!" He called out as the carriage they boarded exited the school premises.

"Sakura-san!" Yuki grabbed her by the shoulder. "You should watch where you're going!" She scolded lightly.

Sakura blinked and escaped from her stupor, she looked around and found that they were currently in the school's forest; buildings nowhere in sight.

"Where … are we?" Sakura asked the taller girl.

Yuki sighed and took the girl's hand into hers. "Mou, Sakura-san… You kept on walking forward and didn't stop to listen to me," She sighed once more. "And to answer your question, we're currently near the Moon dormitories."

"Moon Dormitories?" Sakura tilted her head to the side in a confused manner.

Yuki couldn't help but smile at her, "Un. The dorms for the night class students—"The two of them stopped walking as they heard squealing nearby.

Sakura looked up at the brunette, her emerald eyes locking onto her chocolate brown ones. "Is there an event happening?"

Yuki laughed nervously and tugged on her hand so they could walk faster. "Not really—But I guess you can call it that." She growled as soon as they neared a big white building with a mass of female students standing outside of a gate, squealing out loud.

"Can I leave you here for a minute Sakura-san?"

Without waiting for her reply, Yuki set off running and into the group of screaming fan girls yelling for them to be quiet.

"HEY! DAY CLASS STUDENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO ABIDE BY THE RULES, CURFEW HAS —!" She yelled

Sakura watched in a daze as Yuki pushed off students from getting near the gates. Sighing, she made her way to the large noisy group and climbed up a near-by tree for a better see on the situation. She watched as Yuki get trampled over by the over persistent girls and couldn't help but laugh at her foolishness.

One of the girls in front sent her a glare. "You just want to keep the night class all to yourself, Cross-san! It's not fair! Just because you're the daughter of the—"

Sakura sighed and twirled a long pink strand of hair on her finger to relieve boredom. "Baka"

Her head snapped open when the gates swung open fluidly, revealing a group of students differently dressed than those of the Day class. They all had a white ensemble with complete similarity to those of Yuki's, other than the color of course. They all stood with an air of nobility and grace that could put royals to shame.

Sakura blinked only to see that the once messy group of noisy girls had formed two rows at each side of the gate to formally greet the oncoming students. She smirked when Yuki awkwardly moved away to let said students pass.

"How annoying…" Sakura mumbled as she finished braiding a strand. She watched the blonde-blue eyed male walk upfront with such enthusiasm that made the girls around them squeal in delight. He made a ridiculous pose that made one of the girls faint which lead to the other girls swarming around him for attention. Sakura frowned when Yuki was pushed away leading her to fall to the ground.

"Yuki… Are you okay?"

A tall brown haired male approached Yuki and bent over to help her up. "K-Kaname-sempai!" Yuki stuttered in shock.

'Kaname' gave her a gentle smile. "Thank you for all the hard work you've done."

Yuki blushed at the compliment "N-not really—"She tensed when she felt the hostile looks of the girls that were sent her way. "N-Not at all! It's my job as a prefect" She stood up quickly, and gave the older male a nervous laugh.

Sakura hummed in amusement as she watched the two interact. "So, Yuki-san likes this Kaname-sempai person."

She watched him pat her head affectionately, while Yuki had her gaze focused on the floor below. "Don't worry much about it; it happened a long time ago…" His hand was suddenly grabbed by a tall silver haired male, who she assumed was also a prefect as well seeing the band on his shoulder.

"Zero!" Yuki gasped in shock.

Sakura tilted her head to the side. "Zero?"

His deep masculine, and somewhat, irritated voice hissed as he glared at Kaname. "Class is starting soon, Kuran-sempai."

Kaname hid a small frown and shook of his hold from his hand. "How scary... Mr. Prefect"

"Quite you are…"

They all turned to see Sakura still seated on top of the tree with a bored look on her face.

"Ah!" Yuki yelled out in surprise. "S-S-Sakura-san! W-What are you doing up there!" She panicked and ran over to the girl. "G-get down y-you might get hurt!"

"Ah." Sakura blinked in realization. "I spoke out loud…" She mumbled hatefully. She stood up from the branch, which earned a horrified shriek from Yuki, and jumped, down gracefully, her skirt flowing elegantly behind her.

"S-Sakura-san! You could've gotten hurt!" Yuki scolded running over to the girl to inspect Injuries.

Sakura sighed in irritation as she gently pushed the girl away from her. "I'm fine Yuki-san."

The Blue-eyed blonde from before approached the two with a disarming smile. "Well hello there my fair lady, It seems I have not made you acquaintance yet," He took her small hand into his and gave it a kiss. "Aido Hanabusa."

Sakura frowned and shook her hand to get away from his hold. "Do not touch me." With that she walked away passing the night class students, and leaving the day class students standing with their mouths agape.

Yuki broke out from her shock and chased after the girl. "S-Sakura-san!"

Aido smirked and watched the retreating form of the girl, from his side Akatsuki gave him a warning look. "Hanabusa…"

"Sakura…"

Kaname watched as Yuki caught up to the smaller girl with an unreadable expression. "She's finally here."

"So Kakashi…" Kaien held out a glass of wine towards the old friend. "Have you decided yet?"

Kakashi downed the whole glass in one swig and gave him a blank look.

"To have Sakura stay in the day class, will be fine." He set down the glass with a soft 'clink'. "But I don't want to take the risk…"

Okay this chapter pretty much wrote itself… so what do you think?

Should sakura be a day or night class student? A prefect perhaps?

…

Wow I'm really bored at home. -_-"
