K-HA PART TWO!

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and followed the story: luvu11, SaNcTuArYXXXXbLoSsOm ,GTakahiro.

I felt like it was hopeless at times but I will do my best. The song is meant to relate to Naruto, Sakura and Hinata in a innocent way. How friendship is liberating.

RECOMMENDED SONG: NOT ALONE BY DARREN CRISS

The walk back to her house was filled with mix emotions. She was happy that Naruto came to her defense but she felt vulnerable after being attacked both physically and emotionally.

She told her parents she fell. They believed her and fussed over her all weekend.

By the time Monday came around Sakura was fearful leaving her parents protection. She was glued onto Ino more so than usual. She grabbed onto her hand wherever she went. But in class Ami and her friends ignored her, and her school day was enjoyable.

Naruto walked her home every day after that.

"Come on Sakura let's go!"

"Why are you walking home with me?"

"Hahaha . . . I live this way too! What a coincidence!" He said scratching the back of his head.

Her parents greeted him cheerfully, when they saw him. The only friend Sakura had over was Ino. Naruto didn'tseem like a crazy boy and was received with open arms. Truthfully they were relieved Sakura was making friends.

Their friendship grew stronger. When Naruto came over they went to her room where they spent hours telling stories. Sakura learned about Naruto's ninja obsession, they would imagine their own ninja techniques. They would run around her house chasing each other. When the weather was nice they would play outside in her yard.

Somedays Sakura was the princess who was in dangers other times she was the cruel villain, or the kunoichi fighting along him. Naruto was always the hero.

Naruto never seemed concerned with how long they played together. He never wanted to leave. Even if they watched Sakura's girly shows it didn't bother him. It almost seemed like Naruto lived there he told her it was boring in his house and his parents wouldn't really mind.

If it was too late outside her parents would let him sleep over. On one of these nights, Sakura confessed she wanted to become a doctor. Naruto told her he was going to become Hokage of the Fire Nation. Kages were important figures kinda like a president that ruled over a nation.

There was also a Hokage for Sand, Wind, Sound and Grass. He wanted to change the nation. She thought it was a big dream for a child. But if anyone could do it, Naruto would be the one.

When Ino wasn't busy she would walk home with her, would stay for a few minutes before going home. They would gossip and paint their nails.

Naruto would stop by later if he saw Ino walking with her. If they were there at the same time, they would play Truth or Dare. Most of the time, Ino left earlier than normal. She told Sakura she couldn't stand Naruto. He was too loud and obnoxious.

"Pot calling the Kettle black much?"

Sakura was happy. While her bruises healed so did her confidence. She went over the words that Ami and her friends said and decided they were wrong. She was not a beauty queen but she was Sakura Haruno. The girl who had brains over beauty.

Time went by and Sakura was walking around the school. It was break time at Konoha Academy. She was on her way to the library for a good book to read. Ino was absent today. And Naruto was nowhere to be found. Since her two best friends were missing she decided to take refuge in the library.

"Ami would never step foot in the library."

Although she was ignored by Ami and friends she didn't want to test her luck.
Gazing at the rows of books Sakura headed to the Fiction Section. The library was empty and Sakura could hear her shoes as she walked.

"Ino would laugh her head off is she saw me here. "You don't need to make your head any bigger Sakura!""

Finally reaching the Fiction Section Sakura began searching. She found a Ninja book and decided that was good enough. Sakura began searching for a good spot to read her book. There was a huge window with sunlight streaming out. She decided to sit by it. There was a table with four seats, one is occupied. Approaching the table Sakura decided to ask.

"Um… Can I sit here?"

The person opposite her had shiny purple hair. The face is obscured by a book titled " Tales of The Kyubi". The person was wearing a gray sweater. The person lowered their book and blue eyes were visible, through purple bangs.

"Oh! . . . ok."

"Thanks!" Deciding to take a chance Sakura added. "My name is Sakura Haruno. Nice to meet you! "

"Umm . . M-My name is Hina . . Hinata Hyuga."

Deciding to give the girl a little push she decided to start a conversation.

" I read Tales the Kyubi last year. What part are you up to?

" . .The p-people a-a-attack . . . att-attacked the K-Kyubi."

" I always pictured the Kyubi as some big red beast. The book doesn't properly describe him. It only mentions his claws and tail."

The girl opposite Sakura looked nervously at the table. Her face was beet red and her hands had dropped the book and were now gripping the book tightly.

"A year ago I was just like you . . . .I used to st-stutter around everybody, even my family. I hated coming to school."

Hinata was now staring at her with a surprised look on her face. Her eyes seemed to be reaching out to her.
"H-How d-did you . . . ."

" Someone helped me through it. She would wait patiently for me to say whatever I had to say. And she would help me when I couldn't."

"Oh...um...d-does she go here?"

"Yeah! I could introduce you if you want. Her name is Ino Yamanaka."

"...Ok."

When Ino saw Hinata she enveloped the girl in a hug.

"HI! My name is Ino. You're so kawaii Hina-chan! I've never seen you before. What class are you in? "

Hinata's face was a bright shade of red as she squeaked

"Arigato . . . Ino. I am w-with Iruka."

"Ino? I think you should let her go. She's turning red."

"Sorry 'bout that Hina-chan." She said with an apologetic look on her face."Then you're in the same grade as Sakuraand me!"

"H-Hai."

"Lift your chin up girl! Try that again."

"...H-Hai."

"With more enthusiasm!"

"Hai!"

"That's more like it Hina-chan!"

"She's a bit bossy but she means well."

"Who are you calling bossy Forehead?!"

"I think I called you bossy, pig!"

"Oh yeah Billboard brow?"

"I won't say it twice lamb chops!"

"At least my hair colors natural!" Ino said while sticking her tongue out.

"My hair color is natural . . ."

"Naturally fake you mean!"

"Ano...a-are you two . . .?"

"Oh Hinata. We're not really fighting this is just how we talk."

"I remember you were that shy Forehead."
