"So... What are we going to do?" Temari held the phone to her ear, listening to Kiba blowing his mind off at hearing that Sakura 'Fell down the stairs'. He had finally calmed down enough to talk. "The battle of the bands was re-posted. It's tomorrow. Do you think she'll be better by then?"
"I don't know..." Temari groaned, putting her head down on the table. She had moved to the kitchen so she didn't wake Sakura up, Gaara had just got her back to sleep. "We'll have to wait and see. I'm more consurned about her though. She refuses to go to the hospital."
"Well... I can have my sister come over. She's a vet though, but it's better then nothing. She'll be able to tell if we have to force her to go or not."
"That'd be great. Thanks."
"No problem. Sakura's all our friends. So, I'll talk to her and call you back." They said a quick good-bye and the line went dead.
"Sooo?" Kankuro had been standing at the doorway, but he was now walking across the room over to her. "What'd he say?"
"The things not till tomorrow, and Hanna is coming over to check her." Temari mumbled into the table, to tired to lift her head.
"Why don't you go get some rest? I'll wait for Hanna." Kankuro sat down in the chair oppiset her and watched as she smiled at him and slowly left the room, heading for the stairs.

A small girl of 7 stood looking up at what was left of her house. It was lit with flames, people were running everywhere trying to put it out, but with no prevail. No one noticed the small girl that was crying, her pink hair in a mess.
Sakura watched as hte house caved in on her mothers dead body. She had been dead for a few years, but Sakura and her brother burried her in the basement.
Kyoto...
More tears flowed out of her eyes from thinking about her brother. After theat night, Sakura had run home and hid in the house away from the world. But the fire ended it all.
"Are you ok?!" Someone grabbed the girls shoulder and spun her around. "My god child, you're mothing but shin and bones!" The women was rather plump, and she had soft eyes. "There, there child." The women wiped away some of the tears and gave Sakura a soft smile. "What's your name?"
"S-S-Sakura." She managed to whisper. The women smiled and picked her up, bringing her away from the house. Sakura watched from over the womens shoulder as her house fell to the ground.

A girl the age of 9 ran around the large lawn with her friends. She was playing tag with the other girls at the ophanage. But this girl stuck out.
Sakura's pink hair had now grown to just below her shoulders. She pushed it away from her face as she headed towards the goal with the soccer ball in front of her running feet. She was the best at soccer, and loved the sport. With one hard kick, the ball flew into the goal. All the other kids on her team cheered and jumped around her.
"Sakura, dear!" The old plump women walked around the house with a man following behind her. He had brown hair and was somewhat tall. But when you stand next to Chio, you always feel tall.
"Coming!" Sakura laughed, running over. She gave the man a smile and looked at Chio. "Yes?"
"I have some great news for you, dear." Chio gave her a grin, and nodded to the man as she said, "You're getting adopted."
Sakura's mouth fell open. What could she say? She didn't want to leave, she loved it here. Everyone here was nice and she loved them all. Plus, the way the man was looking at her, she knew she wouldn't like him, not one bit.
"I-I... ahhh..." Sakura shifted uncomfertably under the mans gaze. Nope, wouldn't like it at all.
She just didn't know how much she would hate the man that ruwinned her life, more then once, and more then one way.

Sakura woke up with a gasp. She bolted into a sitting position, but only to be pushed back down. She glanced up and saw Gaara's and Hanna's faces above her. She let out her breath and laid back down, eyes never leaving Gaara's.
"Ok, well..." Hanna stood and wiped her hands on her pants. "Nothing's broken, she should be fine, just sore." Hanna looked down at Sakura and smiled. "Take it easy, and don't let them push you to go to that battle thing tomorrow if you're to sore. Alright?"
"Thanks." Sakura whispered, and gave her a soft smile.
"But, you do need to eat something." Hanna grabbed her coat and put on her boots near the door. "I'll come pick you up at 9, Kiba. Be ready. And make sure you don't eat anything to hard, Sakura!" She called back as she shut the door behind her.
"So..." Temari plopped down on the couch next to Sakura as Gaara helped her to sit up. "What do you want to eat? I'll cook anything you want."
"Then she defenetlly wont beable to sing tomorrow, she'll be dead." Gaara huffed, sitting on the other side of Sakura, he had his hand on Sakura's back, to keep her from falling backwards. "Naruto can pick something up." Gaara glanced over at Naruto. "Get something she can eat. Not what you want."
"But ramens something she can eat... AND IT'S WHAT I WANT!" Naruto yelled as he ran out the door to go get everyone some food.
"... What do you mean she'll be dead tomorrow?" Temari looked over at Gaara, she looked very confused.
"He was dissing your cooking, Temari." Sakura smiled, to sore to giggle. "But, its fine. Ramen sounds good."

By the time Naruto got back, Hinata and TenTen had arrived.
"Good thing I got extra!" Naruto laughed nervously, setting the bags down on the coffie table that was in front of Sakura. He opened the bag and handed Sakura a bowl with a pair of chop sticks, then started digging in himself.
"So Sakura..." TenTen said after finishing her bowl of ramen. "How did you fall down the stairs?"
Sakura gave a quick glance in Temari's direction, before swollowing what was in her mouth before she spoke. "The floor was wet at the top, and I slipped."
"Oh... But why are you here and not home?"
"... Ahhhh..."
"Because she wants to be. Now stop asking her so many questions!" Temari snapped.
"... Sorry." TenTen mumbled, looking down.
"It's fine." Sakura gave her a small smile.
