The first thing Sakura heard upon waking was, "Sakura-nee, I have to go potty." She opened her eyes to find her face was buried against the blanket over Naruto's shoulder. She had slept above the covers, and it had been cold. She had instinctively moved close to something warm in her sleep, and so had draped herself over Naruto.
"Oh," she said, rolling off of him, and sitting up. "Sorry, Naruto-kun," she said as the boy swiftly slipped out of bed. His little feet moving him quickly out of the room. Sakura giggled. He was too adorable.
She too moved off of the bed, before heading to her own bedroom. She picked out an outfit for the day, and, after closing herself in her closet, equipped it. The dress - a grey jumper- had been old, so would have been small, but fit perfectly thanks to the game. Sure, this whole thing tried to kill her sometimes, but it did have its perks. She kept her legs warm with a pair of thick brown tights, and a pair of grey socks.
After dressing she headed down to the kitchen, and was soon joined by Naruto. "Any requests?" she asked, opening a cupboard.
"Ramen!"
Sakura rolled her eyes. "How about ramen for lunch?" she offered instead.
"Yeah!" he replied, cheerful as ever.
Sakura smiled as she set about getting breakfast ready, earning another level in cooking while doing so. As they ate their meal the pair went over etiquette, and how to act in social situations. Naruto had never really been good at communicating back in school, and she hoped she might be able to help him with that.
"But most importantly, just be yourself. Sometimes its okay to slip on all the rules. No matter what anyone else says, or thinks, I'll have your back." Because, while it seemed like it would be rather easy, surprisingly enough, to teach Naruto how to act properly, he wouldn't really be Naruto without a bit of inappropriateness.
"And I've got yours, Nee-chan!"
She was fairly certain that if Naruto had a Faction bar for her, it would be maxed out already. He was always so cheerful. He was her ray of light, always giving her a smile. She wondered if he would still smile for her if he knew she had helped kill someone last night,
She thought not.
She felt that smile slip from her face, and watched as Naruto's mood shifted as hers did. He could be perceptive. Damn it, she didn't want to upset him. She just needed time to think. She just needed time to stop.
'Inventory.'
And time stopped.
She had killed before. Not a lot, maybe, compared to most, but she was comfortable with killing; not that she would want to admit something like that, though.
She was also a medic. She had taken an oath. Sure, no one else remembered it, but she did, and that still mattered to her.
She had murdered a civilian of Konohagakure. She had almost been murdered by a civilian. She had bled for these people. She had died for them. She had murdered someone with the help of a man who would soon massacre his whole family.
Was he really a bad person? Had he wanted to kill her? Or was he just some puppet of the Kami? Did she murder someone who had no control of himself?
Was he even real? He could have just been someone the game made up. He hadn't had a name like Ami had. But then, she had known Ami's name, and she didn't know his, if he had one. Perhaps that was why he had no name above his title. But perhaps he had a wife, kids, a family.
She had wanted a fight. She had gotten one.
She felt like a monster. She had never wanted to hurt anyone, but she also felt satisfaction in the fact he was dead. He had tried to kill her. Real, or no, he was a monster too. The Kami never would have made someone do something out of character. She prayed that was true.
Speaking of Kami… She looked over her inventory till she found the item she was thinking of - the Kami Coin. 'What the hell is this.'
Kami Coin
The currency used in the Kami Shop.
Earned from trying situations.
Can also be found in random places around the world.
'Kami Shop'
Kami Shop is currently unavailable.
'Lovely.' Sakura would have rolled her eyes if she had control of her body.
Her attention shifted from the screen in front of her face to the boy behind it. He had supported Sasuke through everything; he had never given up on him. She hoped that this Naruto would do the same for her.
She decided that today she would make sure they have a good day. They'd play games, and have fun. No game, no nonsense. She'd forget about everything except being his big sister.
She closed the inventory, and smiled at the blonde across from her.
"Wanna do something fun?"
Naruto was interrupted by a knock at the door.
Quest Started
Shuishin Senpai - Friend or Foe
-Answer the Door
'So much for that...'
"Oh! Maybe its Jii-jii!" Naruto yelled as he launched himself towards the door. Sakura let out a growl of annoyance as she followed.
'This had better be good.' she thought as Naruto threw open the door - she'd have to talk to him about safety later.
"Hey kiddos!" Sakura was surprised to see Shusui outside her door.
"Eh? What are you doing here?" Naruto demanded.
"I'm here to check up on-" Shusui started, but cut off when Sakura started shaking her head, and waving her hands in front of herself.
"On what?" Naruto questioned, oblivious to Sakura's actions.
"On whether you two want to be my students, of course. Normally I'd be sparring with my cousin, but all he wants to do lately is missions and train with his brother, so I am left out. So what do you say?"
-Accept Training
"Yeah!" Naruto cheered, pumping his fist into the air.
"I would like that a lot, Uchiha-sensei." Sakura said, grinning. Perfect, she could train, and keep Naruto happy. It was a win win. Plus, with Naruto's ever present, and always hidden, guards she wouldn't have to worry about Shusui doing something shifty. Though, it would probably be best to play it safe. 'Save Game in Slot Two. Rename Pretraining Trip.'
Game Saved
"So, first things first. What do you two think would be a good way to train?"
"Fight bad guys!"
"We could play hide and go seek, or tag," Sakura suggestion.
"Eh, Nee-chan, those are kid games."
"Ah, yes, but how could those games help someone train to be a ninja, Naruto-kun?"
"Eh, well, ninjas gotta be sneaky, right?" Sakura's lips twitched up in amusement at the thought of Naruto being sneaky. "And you gotta be sneaky in hide and go seek! Oh, and it would help you learn to find sneaky people too. Tag makes you run, and fighting makes you move too, so I guess that it would help you get more, uhm, speed?"
Sakura beamed in pride for her little knucklehead.
"Correct! Now, for your first year you won't be getting into much of the complicated stuff, but having more stamina, and speed, will go a long way in your spars, which you will be doing a lot of. For now, you are going to want to train what you are working on in school. I am not going to step on your teacher's toes. However, if you prove that you can do well in school I will teach you both a ninjutsu, deal?"
"Hai Sensei!" Sakura chirped as Naruto fist pumped, and said "Hell yeah!"
"So, for today lets play tag. Now, to be really good in tag you not only have to be fast, but you also have to be smart. You can try to trick your opponents, make them think you are going to go one way when you are really going to go another. So, who wants to be it?"
"Not it!" both soon to be Academy Students yelled.
Shusui grinned. "Get running then, kiddos."
And with a squeal of delight they did just that.
That morning Sakura gained a total of three points in Body, and one in Mind.
After their games Shusui offered to take them out to lunch, and happily agreed to Naruto's request for ramen.
On one hand, Sakura was happy the two had found someone so kind. And on the other, Sakura was highly suspicious. He couldn't be trying to harm them because of the ANBU guards; which she was sure the Uchiha noticed. So what was his angle? Was he trying to get close to Naruto? With his eyes he could control the Kyuubi. Just how advanced was his sharingan, anyways?
"Something wrong?" Shusui asked Sakura. She hadn't realised she was staring.
"Why are you being so nice?" Sakura asked after a few moments. Children were known for being blunt. She could use that.
"Honestly," he started after a few moments of contemplation, "I am doing this partially for Sasuke. He, well, he is going to need friends. My clan, well all clans tend to stick together, but there is no one his age, really, from our clan. He will be the only person in his class that will be an Uchiha. People in clans like mine tend to be segregated from the others. Thats just the way it is. I don't want that for him. Its sad. So, I guess I want you two to feel comfortable around us, so you can bond with him."
Sakura felt like he was being honest, but then, in this world you could not always trust your senses - especially not with Uchihas. Though, it seemed completely possible that the game could set them up with someone else who could help them in a village full of unfriendly faces. He had a quest. That had to mean something.
"Plus, you seem special, kid," he said, grinning at Sakura. "You both do," he quickly added before Naruto's pout could fully form. "I've always dreamed of having a genin team. This will be good for all of us."
She really hoped he was the person he seemed to be. Though, it would be tragic for Naruto to get attached to someone only to lose them. Perhaps there was a way to keep both him and Sasuke safe during the massacre? Perhaps the Kami was giving her a chance to save someone else who had caught her attention. That made sense.
She let herself return the Uchiha's smile. "Yeah, I think it will be real good."

227 XP Earned
+2576 Faction With Shisui
That evening they went over reading from the textbooks. Naruto let her go over things that he deemed less exciting, but was able to keep himself focused. The possibility of a ninjutsu for good grades really help him channel his energy into learning. It also let Sakura gain a level in Mind. She knew all the information already -only things combat based seemed to have been taken from her- but it seemed that just studying in itself helped. Perhaps she would check out the library for more complex, and unknown things to see if that helped her gain points faster.
Sakura got them both to bed early. She couldn't wait to see her former classmates tomorrow.
