Hi. I'm back! The chapter is a little longer then usual. Enjoy!
Chapter four:
Enter the demon(s)
Years later..
It was unbearable in a young girl's room. She sat at her bed, still dreaming about those past experiences. In fact, most of them were a blur that she couldn't say out loud. The girl rolled over to the side of her body and let out a soft moan as the dream took a dark unexpected turn:
Dream scape:
A young girl walked down the snow. She turned around and watched many trees and buildings come tumbling down. The girl switched back to the forest ahead of her and kept walking while crying miserably. Her tears rolled down the sides of her cheeks and turned into ice. The ice hit the snow and made an impact causing the earth to shave violently.
"It's not fair.. w-what have I done to them?" she whispered in frustration.
Then suddenly, a whole mob of people can be heard behind her. She picked up her feet and made a break for the trees. The little pinkette ran past a little boy carrying some logs and settled behind a house and waited patietnly for the mob to pass her by. While she waited there, conversations of the villagers can be heard up front.
"You, brat. Have you seen a bitch with pink hair?"
"No, I haven't seen any one with pink her." replied a tender voice. Sounded like a boy.
"Tch, never mind. We should head back."
"Yeah, I bet she probably got eaten by polar bears by now." said another man.
The little boy remained still as the group of men laughed heavily and walked away into the distance. His eyes narrowed in suspicion and he walked to the back carrying some fire wood. When he got there, he spotted a little girl with pink hair.
"Oh! A girl!" he exclaimed, dropping the fire wood.
It fell to the floor. He bent down to pick them up and quickly got them, until one was left behind.
She touched it then looked up at him. "Gomenasi, I apologize for their interference." the girl says softly.
"Um..no problem. Why were they after you?"
"I don't know.. M-maybe because my hair is pink."
"That's not a good reason." the little boy said with a frown.
She looked away, ashamed of who she really is. "Maybe it's because I'm from the Haruno clan.."
"Could be." he replied. "Would you like some hot tea? You seem famished."
"Okay.." she nodded, and began to introduce her self. "Hi, I'm Sakura."
"Why hello there cherry blossom, I'm.."
Some one interrupted her dream. "Sakura, time for school."
"Huh?"
End dream
"Sakura-chan, wake up. I said it's time for school.."
A messed up bed head rolled over. "Ugh, not right now. Five more minutes.." she mumbled, and then went back into position.
"Fine. don't get ready, don't get a good team, don't try to become a kunoichi then.." recited the older woman.
This put her on edge. While she ended her reasons, her niece still didn't get up. She left the room. Sakura's eyes cracked open after the door slammed shut. The pinkette got to the corner of the bed and stretched her arms out into the air and then leaped out the bed onto the floor.
She placed her feet into a pair of fuzzy bunny slippers and lazily slid down the carpet into the bathroom. The pinkette walked over near the sink and brushed her teeth. Then went on to taking a shower and exited out eight minutes later. Sakura reentered her room and sat on the bed and quickly established lotion all over her body.
Once that was done, she got up and rolled a black towel across her chest to her lower body. Sakura crossed the carpet and stood near the open wardrobe and debated on what to wear today. There wasn't that much to choose from; the colors ranged from red, pink...
"Hold up...is that.. fuchsia?" she questioned in disgust. "Ew, I am so not wearing that."
The girl dove into her wardrobe. A few colorful outfits flew out the compartment and hit the floor. Seconds later she came out wearing all black (A/N: No it's not goth!) including an inky shirt with the Haruno symbol on the back, very tiny shorts to remove heat from entering her body, and sandals to cover her feet. Multiple kunai holsters took hold of her hips. She secured her hitai-ate to her neck and left out the bedroom. Sakura traveled down the steps and was met by her mother.
She struck a pose, "How do I look?"
Her aunt gave her a disturbed look. "Um.. are you wearing booty shorts?"
"Auntie.. they are not booty shorts.." she groaned, rolling her green eyes.
"Yes they are. Your ass is hanging out and everything. Including your thighs.."
"So. I'm old enough to wear them."
"Fine. As long as the boys aren't staring at your breasts all the time then go ahead." She ruled out. "Not like you got any.."
"What was that?"
"Nothing, nothing! Now go ahead and become a kunoichi."
"Thank you auntie!" Smiled the pinkette.
Aunt Haruno shielded her eyes, trying to ignore her skanky get up. Sakura laughed a bit and continued going down the steps into the kitchen. She stole a loaf of toast with butter smeared on it off the plate and exited out the front door into the boiling sun.
-Outside her house-
"Eek, it's so hot out here today.." She said, putting her hand to her face. "I need to get out of this sun and fast."
Sakura started speed walking down the side walks. She passed a few houses and sped up even faster past a flower shop with the name 'Yamanka' on it. The pinkette signed in relief when she didn't hear the loud obnoxious shouts of..
"HARUNO SAKURA! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"
"Shit. I have been spotted." Winced the figured out kunoichi in training. She slowly turned on the balls of her feet, facing the platinum blond. "What do you want?"
She didn't seem happy. "Why are you wearing booty shorts? Its not even that hot out."
Sakura didn't answer her. She hoped that Ino would go away and mind her own business.
But instead she kept going. "Unless your trying to steal Sasuke-kun away from me then don't bother cause I have this in the bag." Ino smirked. She pointed a finger at her chest. "You see these? My breasts are coming in."
"So.. that's nice. I'm not trying to compete with big breasted barbie dolls." Sakura said in a bored tone.
Ino freaked out when Sakura didn't blow up. "Hey! Come back here! I'm not through with you!"
Well Sakura was. She trudged on, not wanting to be bothered with her. 'In fact, why am I even friends with her?' she thought to her self. Her body soon ended up in new territory of the academy and in the front door way of the class room. All the kids she graduated with and many more stopped talking and turned around to face gave her.
She gave them her signature stink eye move and they looked away going back to what ever junk they were talking about. She smirked at her accomplishment and took a seat in the middle of the room. She took a nap. There was nothing but silence taking over the room. This bothered her.
Sakura cracked one eye open and asked, "Hey, what's going on?" to the group.
Apparently the boys were annoyed while the girls were in rage.
"Um.. hello. Mind telling me why everybody is angry as hell?" Questioned the annoyed cherry blossom.
A boy from the other side of the room answered her. "Yeah, your sitting next to the sex god of the entire earth!" he exclaimed and got death glares from the girls. "No homo.."
Sakura scrunched her face up in disgust. "Huh? What are you talk..." and didn't finish when she spotted someone sitting next to her. "Oh.. never mind."
Her said complication stared back at her for a few seconds before turning away to face the wall. Sakura let out a groan and started slamming her beautiful face on the desk numrtous times when she heard a whole bunch of girls screaming. She picked her head up from the desk and came across a blond haired boy sitting right next to Sasuke. He seemed to stare for a long period time until something terrible happened.
They almost, smooched.
Thanks a lot boy she has no idea about!
Sakura was in between getting kissed by both Sasuke and Naruto. They kissed for over three minute tops and released their grip on both of Sakura's cheeks. Chatter buzzed around them talking about the event that has just happened.
"Oh wow, I kissed a girl and I liked it!" Sang Naruto. He quickly ended the song and put a finger to his chin and started to talk in voice logic, "Even though it was by accident.."
"Naruto.." she voiced deeply, her head down and bangs covering her eyes.
The boy watched her with wide eyes. "Your not gonna hit me like those other girls, right?" he asked meekly.
She looked up, taking him by surprise. "No, not at all. If you wanted a kiss so bad then why didn't you ask me?" Sakura said sweetly.
"Hehehe.. maybe I will. Can I have another?" Naruto slurred, pointing to his whiskered cheek.
"Don't push your luck."
"Okay. Can I at least sit near you?"
"Sure. You can do that."
Instead of Naruto sitting beside Sasuke, he sat next to Sakura. Sasuke didn't say anything after the kiss and kept his attention on the teacher that has filed into the room holding a clip board in his hand. He cleared his throat and started to tell the audience of which teams they were being split up into.
The order went like this; Team seven's rookies are Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto. Secondly, team eight with Shino, Hinata, and Kiba. Lastly, team ten with Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji. Everyone left with their teams while team seven remained and were moved away to another class room.
"Ugh, he's so slow.." groand the blond.
Sakura felt the need to exploit their teacher. "I heard that he's so slow, a snail could beat him. Don't expect him to come here early everyday like the other senseis."
"Then what's the point of having him?" Naruto asked in annoyance.
"My thoughts exactly."
So together, they waited it out for another hour.
...
"Yo, I-"
Cricket noise. Team seven was nowhere in sight.
The teacher scratched his head. "Wow, I never expected my team to leave me.."
So he left to in a puff of smoke and wandered around the village trying to find them. Kakashi used his photographic memory from looking at their profiles in the office and spotted one of them hangng out at the ramen bar. 'Naruto.. your hiding place is so easy to spot. Pathetic..' he thought with a frown.
The scarecrow walked over and touched his back. Apparently he left in a puff of smoke.
"A vanashing act? How unpredicatable of the blond.." he mumbled to him self.
Kakashi looked to his right, and spotted a pink dot over near the vegetable stand. A smirk was visble beyond his mask. He started to walk down the concrete into the street and poked Sakura in the back. He frowned in disapointment as the pinkette left in a swirl of blossoms.
"Ah, another clone." he said. "Well, I guess I should publish a MIA to the authorities."
"I don't think you should do that.. sir."
He looked up at the voice. "Ah, Sasuke-chan. Mind telling me where your team mates are?"
Sasuke sat on the roof holding a tomato. "I can't do that." he spoke.
"Why not?"
"I don't know. See you later."
With that, he teleported away leaving Kakashi all alone.
He stood there, not knowing what to do. "Ugh, I thought these kids were trainable."
"Well you thought wrong." spoke a familar voice.
Kakashi spotted Iruka behind him. "Iruka, pleasure finding you here. Would you mind explaining your students to me."
"Sure. Where should I begin?" he asked.
"Begin with the blond."
"Ah, Naruto.. well, he's a very special boy. I wouldn't want him any other way."
"As in, untrained?"
"You don't have to dub him un-trainable. Just give him a chance."
"Alright, what about the Uchiha?"
"Sasuke is a talented young warrior. Make sure to train him to his full potential."
"and if I don't?"
"Why are you so negative?"
"Answer the question."
"Okay, he just might train else where."
Kakashi nodded, taking in the information. "The girl?" he finished.
"Sakura? Oh yes, she's indeed very special. You know, I heard that you found her in the land of snow.. Mou, you should already know something about her by now."
"Actually I don't.. the kage of her village didn't fully explain the details."
"Great. Then you'll have enough time to get to know them. Good luck!" excalimed the dolphin.
Iruka left in a swirl of leaves.
Kakashi brushed his chin with his palm. "I'm going to need it.."
Then walked slowly down the path of life..
...
-At Sakura's house-
Sakura sat at the dinner table eating food with her aunt. Numerous meals cooked by the mistress of the house sat on china plates.
"How was your da-" Sakura cut her off.
"Terrible. Our teacher was so late, that we got up and left out the room."
Aunt Haruno raised an eye brow. "Are you even allowed to do that?" she asked in disbeleif.
"I don't know.. pass me the tea."
After dinner, Sakura retreated to her room.
She took a quick shower and brushed her teeth then went to bed. Sakura didn't shut her eyes, instead, she stared up at the ceiling with a blank expression on her face. In her mind, she didn't want to sleep. She didn't want to relive those dreams.
Of her past life..
'Your going to have to face reality sooner or later..'
"Shut up. You are only an illusion." she snarled at the voice in her head.
'To you, but not to your home.'
"My home is in Konoha. I have been here all my life."
'Sure, beleive what you want.'
The kunoichi signed deeply and turned out the lights then went to sleep.
A/N: Yay! It's longer! D: Anyways, I didn't want this story to be a repeat of the manga so I changed it a little. Well, some of it.. Now here's the character struggle. Typing out an aloof Kakashi wasn't easy to do. Using Iruka as a distraction to warn Kakashi of their student's chracteristics will hopefuly shine some light into their new releationship with one another.
Well, I am going to end it here. Don't forget to leave a reveiw! Will be back soon.
