A/N: Am I going too fast? Or am I updating too fast. We'll have a deal after this chapter.

Chapter 7
New Arrivals
Sakura got ready to set off for school. It was a new trimester and she was excited to see the new members. She dashed off to school, smiling eagerly to herself. By the time she got there, the Academy was empty and silent. Sakura glanced at her watch.
"Too early…"
She decided to go to the dojo for an early and quick practice. She entered the dojo and saw Kakashi putting a box down on a small pile of other boxes.
"Ah, Sakura, you're early." He said turning his head.
"Are the new members here yet?" Sakura asked quickly.
"Eager to know I see. They're just in Tsunade-sama's office, getting their schedule. I suppose they would like a quick tour around school before it starts."
"I'll just go and see them." She said, bowing down and leaving. She walked slowly to the office, still trying to grasp the memory of what happened at the dance, weeks ago. Sakura stopped walking and shook her head. She ran once more toward the office.
She knocked on the door and waited patiently for someone to answer. Shizune popped her head out of the door.
"Ah, Sakura, we just needed you right now!" Shizune smiled. She let her in to talk to Tsunade.
Sakura entered the room with two unfamiliar faces and the headmistress.
"This Haruno Sakura, she will be showing you around the Academy and the kendo club. Sakura this is Mikatsuki Sayaka and Sai." Tsunade introduced. (A/N: Remember that I made up the girl. I watched way too much Bamboo Blade…)
Sakura smiled weakly and waved her hand. "Nice to meet you." Sakura said like a robot. She was so excited that she couldn't greet properly. She led them outside and showed them around for a bit.
"Can I see your timetable sheet?" Sakura asked.
They both handed in their sheets and Sakura scanned them.
"Holy shit, Sakura, they got the same class as us!" Ino screamed from a very shocked Sakura.
"I-i-ino, don't do that again please." Sakura pleaded quietly.
"Gome." Ino said rubbing the back of her head.
Sakura led them into class and surprisingly they saw Kakashi there, and class didn't even start yet. Naruto came in the door, pointing at his sensei so suddenly.
"Kakashi-sensei, this is a miracle! This is the first time you came into class without first period starting yet!" Naruto yelled.
A bell then rang signalling for it's-first-period-so get-your-ass-into-class. Sakura then took her seat and saw an empty table beside her which was near the window.
"Alright everyone, we have two new students in class so please make them feel welcome." Kakashi spoke as he signalled the two teens to come. He wrote their names on the board and announced again, "Mikatsuki Sayaka and Sai."
They bowed respectfully to the class and greeted them.
"You can both sit on the desk next to Haruno Sakura over there." Kakashi ordered, pointing at the empty desk.

At lunch, Sakura showed Sayaka and Sai the kendo club, in the dojo. They slipped into their dogi and got ready to spar.
"Sakura, spar with Sayaka. I want to see how good she is." Kakashi told Sakura.
She nodded and walked up to her. They stood in their starting positions and held out their shinai.
"Begin!" Kakashi announced.
Sakura started to -attack her and she blocked them perfectly and accurately.
'She's fast. I can't keep up with her!' Sakura thought.
Sayaka raised her shinai and found an open spot.
"Men!"
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
A few minutes passed and Sakura took off her head gear and reported Sayaka's skill. Sakura wore this face: 0.o
"She is…" She paused.
"AMAZING!!!!" Sakura yelled with joy.
"She beat you in less than three minutes. She's faster than you. Too bad I can't keep her for any tournaments."
Sakura wore a confused face.
"I'll tell you later. But first, rest for a bit so you can spar with Sai next."
Sakura nodded and took out her water bottle.

Sakura sat next to her sensei after their match. She wore the same face again.
"…"
"That's the same time as Sayaka. I can't keep him either."
"Tell me why." Sakura demanded, taking off her head gear.
"Well they won the nationals about nearly all the years they've lived."
"EH?!"
"On the last nationals they won they declared that they wouldn't enter the nationals anymore so they would let other people have a chance to win. Although they still go to kendo clubs but right now they're in this one."
"Sounds fair."
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Sakura walked to the dojo at the end of school. She peeked through the door and saw no-one. As usual. She got changed again and saw Sayaka coming in.
"Konichiwa, Haruno-san!" Sayaka chirped.
'She seems to be in a good mood today.'
Kendo practice was normal except for the two professionals. She told Sasuke about too but he barely spoke. Sakura had suspicions to him. She entered her house and did her normal routine. She scribbled the words that were in her mind.
'Okaa-san, Otou-san and Onii-san in heaven,
The new members in the kendo club are amazing plus they have the same classes as me. The girls Mikatsuki Sayaka and the boy is Sai. Maybe if I had the courage, I would ask Sayaka to be my friend. I told Sasuke about them and he barely talked.'
Sakura stopped. She had just remembered something from the spring dance. The thing that he did to her. No other boy had done it to her except for her father and brother.
.::Flashback::.
'Sakura widened her eyes as Sasuke wrapped his arms round her body.
"Damn what should I do?! Okaa-san, please forgive me for that word but it is necessary.'
'Calm down, just calm down.'
'How can I calm down? If I were any calmer I'd be dead by now!'
'-Insert Sakura's inner running manically in circles-'
Sakura breathed heavily and then fainted.
.::End::.
-Insert Sakura's face looking like this: 0.o –
She could still remember how she got back at home plus when Sasuke got her into bed she heard some words but her mind was still blurry so she couldn't remember what he said. She closed her diary and got back inside for training.

It was the next day and Sakura sat in her seat, slumping her head on her desk.
'Sakura, get a hold of yourself! Your lazy side is leaking out!'
Sakura tilted her head towards Sayaka's table. Sakura stared at both of them for a little while.
'Hey, don't they look like a cute couple.'
'Not again. Look you already got Ino and Shikamaru together. Plus a bit of Naruto and Hinata. You can't just get a mission to get those together if they look cute.'
'Fine, I'll just leave both of them to get to know each other.'
'Oh yeah, didn't you just tell Tenten that you would sort her and Neji. You dragged Ino into the mess aswell.'
'Oh yeah speaking about that, I wrote down the plan in my notebook.'
'-Insert inner with sweat drop- …'

At lunch Sakura walked up to Ino.
"So are you ready for Tenten and Neji to get together?" Sakura asked evilly.
"Whatever you say!" Ino saluted with delight. She also wanted them to be together aswell.
"Right let's meet up at my house tomorrow. We'll get ready for the plan there." Sakura commanded.

A/N: Okay so I admit, that chapter wasn't really long. Oh plus, the deal is if I put up a short chapter, I will update fast. And if I have a long chapter, I will update for a long time unless I'm in the mood to give a long chapter and quick update. My tooth just fell out and now I have to focus on getting the other one out. When I smile, I look like a six year-old again. And we're always taking tons of pictures on Christmas! Oh well. Reviews are much appreciated and have a merry Christmas!
