Trust No One
The next class she had was gym and luckily people she actually likes is in that class. Surprisingly she wasn't late to any class... yet of course.
Walking in she was immediately greeted by Tenten. "Hey, Sakura how are you feeling?"
"Fine, I guess I just released some anger by slamming this new creepy girl against the locker. Tenten nervously chuckles taking a small step backward.
"Sakura-san resorting to violence isn't the youthful way to greet a new face." Sakura sighs and slowly turns around low and behold was her dedicated stalker. In his usual puke green track suit.
"Lee what do you want?" Tenten asks the question that was on her mind.
"I wanted to talk to the beautiful cherry blossom and cheer her up," all of a sudden Lee gets down on his knees crying his eyes out. "I'm sorry Sakura-san I wasn't there to protect you!"
Sakura tried to quiet him since he was attracting way too much attention. She even looked over to Tenten for some help who only shrug just as lost for words. To make matters worse, Gai came over to join the conversation. The grown man started crying as well leaving her to start panicking. Luckily for her Kiba arrived to help her out of the complicated situation.
"Gai-sensei the principal wants to see Sakura asap I'll escort her there." To her relief, they stopped crying and allowed her to leave. They both leave trying to hide their snickering from them.
Once out in the halls the two high five each other. "That was great thanks for the help Kiba."
Kiba blushes slightly scratching the back of his head. "Sakura listen I-"
"Sakura-senpai! Glad, I found you." As if her life couldn't get any worse the new girl decides to make her presence known.
"Hey, I was talking here!" Kiba angrily shouts to the weird green haired girl. Fu ignores him without a care in the world she walks up to Sakura as if they were best buddies.
"Glad I found you I wanted to chat with you." Sakura stares blankly into orange deceiving eyes.
"Listen Fu honestly why are you so persistent to be my friend?"
"I told you you're interesting." Fu simply answers.
"I'm as interesting as an animal taking a shit now out with it the truth." Kiba looks back and forth between the two girls wonderings if a cat fight was going to happen.
"Uh, ladies?" He was completely ignored.
"Sakura-chan what are you doing out here?" Sakura snaps her head at another interruption this time it was the only person who calls her Sakura-chan.
"Naruto." Naruto grins and walks closer to the group. His happy go lucky grin fades when he observe the situation. Kiba was standing awfully close to Sakura and the tension was very thick. "Shouldn't you guys be in class?" Fu smiles brightly at the handsome blonde. She observed from far away but up close he was extremely attractive.
"Hi, I'm Fu." Naruto shakes her smaller hands before also saying his name. "Naruto Uzumaki nice to meet you." Fu winks and grips his hand a bit tighter than what it should be gripped.
"It is indeed." Sakura was just gaping at Fu who continued to stare at her boyfriend with a tight grip on his hand.
"Uh, you can let go now," He says while nervously chuckling feeling the heat from his girlfriend's glare on the back of his head. He was a little confused as to why he was receiving a glare as hot at the sun.
"Let's go Kiba we're skipping." With her good arm, she grabs his wrist and angrily storms away from the two. Naruto escapes Fu's grasp to follow them.
"Sakura-chan! Stop!" Sakura continues to ignore him.
"Kiba what's the best skip spot in this school." Kiba thought about it for a minute he snaps his finger and this time he pulls her.
"Behind these doors is the best spot so close your eyes." Sakura nods and closes her eyes she heard footsteps behind them but paid it no mind. Kiba opens the door trying to fight down a huge grin he knew that Naruto was behind him, but he already knew about it anyway. There were some stairs he guided her through and another door stood in their way. Kiba opens it and they were immediately bathed in sunlight. "Open your eyes."
Sakura opens them and she found herself on the roof looking out at the streets. It was a wonderful view that she couldn't take her eyes off. The position in which the sun was made it look like art.
"Do you like it? I know it's a bit cliche but-" Kiba was cut off when he felt an arm wrap around him. He was overcome with shock as he slowly realizes that Hardass Sakura was hugging him. His crush was hugging him tightly.
"Thank you, Kiba I really needed this it's beautiful." Just as Kiba was coming down from his high of being hugged by her and was going to hug her back she lets him go.
"You can come out now Naruto." Naruto comes out from behind the door to the roof before he could say a word Sakura cuts him off with just a raised hand.
"Just enjoy the view Naruto I got a feeling it'll be the last time for awhile we'll be able to fully enjoy this." Naruto sighs and stands on her right as Kiba stands on her left they all stare at the wonderful view as the sun beam down on them.

The three skipped the whole gym class just hanging out on the roof of the school. The rest of the classes went by in a haze to her. She stopped paying attention after the whole roof thing. She almost forgot she had to stay after school to do some makeup work.
So as everyone left the school she was trapped sitting there doing old homework. Sakura walked to her first class of the day English. "Kakashi hope you don't mind me being here but if you do talk to Baa-chan." Sakura sits in her usual seat on her phone.
Kakashi was feeling a bit awkward since the girl who he pretty much abandon was sitting right in front of him. He wasn't sure what to say he wasn't the type of person to say sorry. "Sakura..."
"You don't have to apologize Kakashi I'm used to being let down," She says as if she was simply talking about the weather.
"You and I both know I couldn't raise you by myself." Kakashi glares down at his desk. That was only half of the reason everyone he gets close to dies.
"I would've understood we could have helped each other get through it but you-you never even stopped by..." Sakura hoped that Kakashi was feeling as bad as she felt when they never came for her. Her anger clouded her rational mind her first instinct was to make him feel as low as the dirt on her shoes.
"You're a poor excuse of a man and a father figure." Sakura coldly stares at him her green eyes dull and dark with undisguised hatred. It was like her words were knives and they were thrown in his heart.
"You're right and I'm sorry for everything." Sakura stares at the man before her with a blank look. She learned from Itachi to never show your emotion in an emotional situation.
"Sometimes an apology isn't enough." His eyes widen as he remembered those words.
Flashback
Kakashi Rin and Obito were patrolling the city as usual. They were fresh out of the academy and were placed on Minato-sensei's squad. "When are we going to get real assignments patrolling is so boring." Obito whines trailing behind his two teammates sluggishly.
It was another dead night in Konoha no rules were being broken yet. Then again it was only 8 o'clock at night. "Stop complaining Minato-sensei is entrusting us with this mission." Obito mocks Kakashi behind his back before looking away angrily. Sometimes Kakashi wondered how old Obito was.
"Could you guys get together at least once?" Rin asks annoyed with their constant rivalry.
Kakashi and Obito both responds at the same time. "No." Finally agreeing on something.
It was another hour in the shift and all three of them heard a loud shriek. It only took them a second to get in gear run towards the source of the shriek. Three older men looked about 20 to 40-year-old. The dark in the alleyway didn't help matters at all. The three seemed to be gathered around something or someone. Whatever they were gathered around was the source of the shrieks.
"We'll teach you a lesson about stealing from us you brat." Says the supposed leader of the trio.
"I'm s-sorry I was h-hungry."
"Sometimes an apology isn't enough." The leader takes out a knife and cuts her arm. It wasn't too shallow, but it was enough to bleed and cause just the right amount of pain.
The trio quickly stepped in to stop the violence on the person. "Hey! Stop right there." Kakashi shouts.
"Police." Obito adds pulling out his gun in case they try anything. The men turn around with their hands in the air. "Drop your weapons and walk away slowly from the person."
They do what they say and to their surprise the men were tormenting a little girl no older than five years old. Obito angrily runs up to the leader and punches him with all his might.
Blood gushed from the man's now broken nose before Obito could attack again he was being held back by Kakashi. "Obito calm down we got to get the little girl some medical attention." Obito calms down but continues to stare daggers at the leader.
Rin takes a step to the little girl the girl scurries away from her when she tries to reach out to her. "It's ok I won't hurt you. We're here to help you." Rin smiles sweetly at the little pink haired girl. Almost instantly Sakura fear of Rin goes away. Sakura throws herself into the arms of the woman and weep. Rin whispers sweet nothings in her ear trying to calm the now trembling girl down.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and Obito were arresting the three older men. Once the pinkette calmed down enough to talk Rin begins to ask her simple questions while cleaning her wounds. "What's your name? My name is Rin."
"Sakura."
"What's your favorite color?"
"Pink!" The little girl says loudly proud that her favorite color is pink. "Oh really?" Sakura nods continually further amusing the young police officer.
"Come on I'll take you to the hospital to get those wounds better treated." Rin picks up the thin light 5-year-old in her arms. Rin saw that they had everything taken care of. Now the only problem left was who was going to ride in the car.
"You guys go I'll just walk to the hospital it's not too far we'll be at Ichiraku when we're done there." The two guys weren't fully convinced but nonetheless takes the three men to the cop car.
"Who are they?" She looks up at her with large confused bright emerald eyes.
"Kakashi and Obito." Sakura wanted to ask something else, but she was a bit hesitant.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan we'll take good care of you." Sakura hugs Rin tighter as her tears drenched Rin's shirt.
"Thank you... will you be my mommy?"
Flashback end
"If you would allow me I would like to be in your life again. Rin and Obito would want that." Sakura scoffs. She found what he was saying utterly unbelievable.
She should have known that coming to his classroom would only end on a bad note. "Just leave me alone Kakashi."
Kakashi sighs and goes back to grading papers. Maybe it was too soon to ask for forgiveness.
The two hours that went by felt like torture instead of getting ready for a date she was stuck with Kakashi like she was given detention. Sakura sighs the work was really easy she was tough and a hard ass but she was indeed a smart hard ass. Of course, she couldn't have anyone knowing that but Tsunade somehow found out about it.
It was about 6 o'clock by the time she got home and she was exhausted. Between a broken wrist and tons of school work, she was surprised she didn't crash yet.
Naruto told her before leaving that he was going to pick her up at 8 she was going to rest for an hour and get dressed when she woke up. Sakura sluggishly walks to her bed and lays down flat on it almost instantly she was asleep that was a big mistake.
2 hours later a loud knock woke her up from her slumber. Sakura gets up stumbling and tripping over her things. The person knocks on the door again irritating her.
Sakura snatched open the door before she snapped at the person who gave her a rude awakening she saw who it was that woke her. "N-Naruto."
Naruto had some flowers in his hand and a suit on." His face expression was unreadable as he looked her up and down. He must have realized that she was not dressed for their date.
"Oh, shit is it 8 already!" Naruto doesn't say anything as she has a small panic attack. Sakura steps aside and allows him inside he has yet to say a thing to her.
"Naruto I'm really really sorry I'll get ready right now." Before she could scurry away to her room he grabs her hand and pull her back.
"Don't worry about it Sakura. I get it you're tired we can just hang out here I'll make you dinner." Sakura sighs at that moment she realized she didn't deserve Naruto. "Alright, Naruto. Only if you want to."
"I'll do anything for you Sakura-chan." He gives her a quick peck before heading to the kitchen.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Sakura goes to her room to at least look a little bit presentable. She came out with a disgustingly pink dress that reached almost to her knees. She absolutely hated pink it was her favorite color when she was little, but now it's just disgusting.
Sakura walks into the kitchen and leans against the door frame. "What the hell are you cooking cup noodles?" Sakura bursts out laughing when she saw him warm up some cup noodles.
"Hehe, I can't exactly-." Naruto turns around to her and instantly froze. It was his first time seeing her in an actual dress and she looked absolutely stunning. "Cook."
He stared and it actually made her blush seriously. She hung out with guys every single day and a compliment would float around each time. Maybe it was because it was as a joke, but it still meant something. "Are you just going to stand there and gawk or come over here and actually do something."
Naruto with the grace of a fox was instantly in front of her. He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer to his body. "You look beautiful without even trying." Sakura giggles like she was in elementary school.
Sakura clears her throat before regaining her air of confidence. "I know... it's a gift. Again I want to apologize for our date being ruined.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan as long as I'm with you it doesn't matter besides this is what we needed." Naruto pecks her large charming forehead.
"You're so corny." Naruto gives her a familiar look that she remembered when they first got together.
"I lo-" multiple fists was knocking on the door rather insisting on coming in. Naruto sighs as he watches his girlfriend walk away to answer the door. Once again he was interrupted in telling her something extremely important.
She was irritated and her irritation only increased more when she opened the door to her "family", To her surprise they were all sober and present. Hell, even Madara was standing there looking like he didn't want to be there.
"What the hell are you guys doing here on my doorstep?"
"Sakura we have information that you need to hear. Is anyone here?"
Sakura was unsure how to feel she wanted to know what new information they received. It was also a new experience being in the group and hearing all the plans. "Uh, just Naruto."
Madara and Itachi exchange glances which she caught. "What does he know about you?" Itachi suddenly asks as if he wasn't in the apartment.
"Not much he knows I'm violent he knows about the Akatsuki most if the members. Why?" Madara steps forward and from his facial expression he was being serious.
"I'll be right back Naruto!" She yells before closing the door behind her.
"Sakura what do you know about him?" Sakura thought for a minute before answering.
"He's supportive, nice, funn-"
"What about his past?" Madara snaps. She takes a step back before glaring at him she hated to admit it, but she didn't know much.
"He has three whiskers on each cheek that he usually hides, but they're birthmarks." Every single Akatsuki member could tell something was up with the story. Something about Naruto Uzumaki was not right. Itachi puts his hands on her good shoulder looking in her eyes like she was a child. But his next words sent a chill down her spine and her heart picked up. It felt as if his words was causing her heart to literally beat out of her chest.
"Sakura... for your own sake stay away from him no arguments just... do it." It was only a once in a lifetime chance that you actually hear Itachi sound so desperate. She had no other options then to agree with him.
"Ok."
A/N: This might be a misleading chapter for future chapters. Soon the leader will be revealed and after that I'm going to put this story on hiatus. I have to start working on my other stories and focus on my school work hell I don't even know what I want to do as a career.
