So what is normally a half hour drive to the mall, we made in 10 minutes flat. Thanks to Ino's speeding and a near death crash with a bus, we arrived in one piece for the most part. Tenten looked like a ghost and Hinata looked like a deer in the headlights and was making an ah ah ah noise. And me I was shocked but I was used to crazy driving, stupid mafia I thought bitterly. Then we started arguing.

"Holy shit pig you almost got us all killed!" I told her with my voice rising

"No I didn't, and besides like you could have done better!" she retorted.

"She could do a lot better Ino." Tenten said recovering from what had just happened "Let's just go inside and forget this EVER happened." Her tone made it clear that we forget now or suffer a terrible fate.

"She's r-right, let's just go inside and shop till we drop!" Hinata said, I have to admit the girl was getting better at not stuttering around me. And right when those word came out of her mouth. Ino was already walking through the doors.

"Well are you coming?" Ino shouted at us impatiently. So we made sure to take our time.

FAST FORWORD TO LUNCH

We were shopping for 3 ½ hours and we finally got to go eat; Ino was still shopping of course.

"Wow there really is no rest for the wicked." I said making Tenten and Hinata laugh.

"No there isn't." Hinata said giggling. "So Sakura do you have any siblings?" the shy girl asked nervously.

"Well Biologically No but I have a younger step sister." I said.

"What do you mean biologically?" Tenten asked a little confused.

"My parents are . . . idiots, to tell the truth I haven't spoken to them in 8 years." I said not going into much detail.

"Awww do you want to tell us what happened?" Hinata asked. Tenten just looked concerned.

"In a nutshell my parents gave me away when I was 8 an I have moved around a lot since then." This was the half truth. "And for the past 2 years I have been living with Mio and Masurao and they have a 9 year old daughter, my step sis Fukitori." I said smiling. "It was hard leaving her but were staying in touch." I said.

"Oh, I have a younger sister but her name is Hanabi." Hinata said. "Here's a picture of her" she said pulling out her phone. The girl had Hinata's eyes and brown hair. She was wearing a light blue kimono with koi on it. "I took this at the summer festival." Hinata said proudly.

"She looks nice." I said.

"Oh no she's the devil in a little girl's body." Tenten said sighing. "Believe me it's bad, besides she's a total daddy's girl."

Trying to change the subject Hinata asked if I had a picture of Fukitori, Which I did and showed them.

"That's my sis, there's a few in there if you want to look." I said handing them my iPhone. This was a gift from Mio. Fukitori had long auburn hair with natural black in it. And pretty amber eyes. She was also very mature for her age. One of the pictures was when she got her orange belt. I was so proud of her I remember training with her for weeks. She wanted it so bad. Another one of my favorites was when we both went on a picnic just us too and we both got a picture under a cherry blossom tree and she was sitting on my lap and I took it self-portrait style, we were both smiling as big as we could.

"She's so cute!" Ino said taking my phone

"You finally done Ino?"Tenten asked raising an eyebrow at the blonde.

"NO! I just wanted to check on you guys." She said innocently. Then her stomach growled really loud and we all sweat dropped. "And maybe join you for lunch? Heh Heh…" she laughed nervously sliding down next to me. We just talked some more about school and family, but that's when the Sochi showed up and to stick the noses in our business.

"Hey Haruno why are you here? Shouldn't you be off playing hero to some defenseless girl?" a man's voice said next to me.

"What do you want Uchiha?" I growled, I was not in the mood to talk to a pedophile, or his friends.

"Teme, this is the one who let Shizuka get away?" an annoying blonde with spiky hair said next to him. I assumed he was Naruto. "She looks harmless to me."

A guy with white eyes looked at me funny, I assumed he was Neji because Hinata has the same eyes, and then he shifted is gaze over to Tenten and then her chest. Tenten looked pissed off.

Another boy just yawned and looked bored and had a pineapple hairstyle. I'm gonna guess this is Shikamaru. He always kept Ino in his line of sight. And Sasuke was just glaring at me.

"Well little Haruno, nice to see you too, I just wanted to talk to you." Sasuke said as he tried to slide next to me in the booth but I was not moving anytime soon. Then he gave one big shove and it made me slide over, then he sat next to me and put his arm around my shoulders. Ino, Tenten and Hinata looked shocked, then the rest of the Sochi followed suit. Tenten stood up to leave but Neji grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close. Bad move. Naruto rested his cheek on Hinata's head and grabbed her shoulders. Hinata was 5 shades of red. Shikamaru just smirked and grabbed Ino's hands in a death grip and just looked at her. The way the boys had set themselves up was so no one could get away. But I saw right through their barricade. Tsk what idiots well guess there's only one thing to do. I thought. Being in the mafia you had to know all types of escape routes. Time for the grand finale though I really don't want to do this. I pouted in my head.

"Oh Sasuke-kun." I said in my most flirtatious voice but in my head I was screaming EW EW EW EWWWWW!

"Hm Sakura-chan?" he asked.

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to let me go?" I said still flirting with him, I started running my arm over the back of his neck then running my hand in his hair.

"And if I refuse?" he said softly, thinking he had won me over.

"This." And I rammed his head into the spaghetti I was eating. Then I jumped up on the table top and picked up Hinata's lemonade. As expected he grabbed my ankle and I dumped the lemonade on his head. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that will teach him to mess with me again I thought smirking at him. He had sauce all over his face, noodles in his hair and lemonade in his hair. Mental Note: laugh later. I then jumped off the table, grabbed my bags and said "You really think I'm a ditzy fan-girl? After I met you one time? Wow you are naïve idiots."

Tenten smirked and stomped on Neji's foot and grabbed her sandwich and stuck it in his open mouth. Ino used her head and rammed Shikamaru in the face. Both of them grabbed their bags and joined me. Naruto just let go of Hinata. Smart move Uzumaki. Hinata scrambled to get her bags and joined the three of us.

"See you at school Sochi! Syonara!" I said and then we ran for it. Made it to Ino's car, threw the bags in the trunk. Hopped in and hit the gas.

FAST FORWORD HOME OR SCHOOL

We stumbled through the doors, dropped everything and burst into hysterical laughter. We had tears running down our faces, bad side cramps and one hell of a good time.

"I don't think I will ever forget that!" Tenten said while laughing.

"Me too, BRAVO FOREHEAD!" Ino said.

"I wish we had a camera to re-live it." Hinata said holding her sides.

"That was nothing, anyway there's one more thing I regret though. . ."I said trailing off, I was serious about what I was gonna say next, but I knew they would laugh anyway.

"What is it Sakura?" Tenten said. Hinata tilted her head sideways. And Ino just looked confused.

"I wasn't done eating."

This started a new round of laughter. "Ok who's up for dinner?"Tenten asked.

"ME!" we all yelled.

"Ok in honor of messing with the Sochi, who wants some spaghetti?" Hinata asked.

"Sure."

"Sounds good."

"Why not."

"Ok while Dinner is being prepared I shalt go ith and ith clean up ith." I said picking up my bags and heading towards my room. Finally some thinking time. I thought with a smile. I got in my room and laid my clothes out on my bed. I had 5 pairs of dark wash jeans, 2 skirts 5 shirts and 3 jackets. I don't think I have ever been this spoiled in my entire life. I thought giddily.

"SAKURA SOCHI SLAYER TO THE KITCHEN YOUR HONORARY DINNER IS DONE PLUS A BONUS GARLIC BREAD FOR THE MAN EGO SQUISHER!" I heard Ino yell to me."ALL HAIL QUEEN EGO KILLER! AND SOUL DESTROYER SA-KU-RA!" I couldn't help but laugh at his. Then Tenten and Hinata joined in.

"SA-KU-RA! SA-KU-RA! SA-KU-RA!"

"COMING MY LOYAL FACE BUSTERS! I called back laughing.

FAST FORWARD TO BED TIME!

Ahhhhhh today was a good day. I thought plopping on my bed after a long hot shower. Then I made the mistake of looking at the open closet doors that had my new uniform on a hanger. Ew I don't want to wear that, I'll probably have the whole male population of the school trying to look at my ass. I thought disgustedly. Then I felt really sleepy so I made the right choice and went to sleep.

SASUKES POV

I kept tossing and turning, a certain pinkette was clouding up my mind. She was so different than the other girls at this crap lousy school. Except Ino, Hinata and Tenten, she fits right in. But something was so familiar about her, I can't figure it out but I'm sure I will eventually. And then the allure of sleep came for me.

SAKURAS POV (This is a Dream/Flashback)

"Fugaku-sama I have a proposal for you." Sakura's father said to a man with a scary face.

"What is it Akio?"

"My family is poor we can't keep our daughter anymore, will you take her into the mafia and make her strong." Akio said.

Just then the man came over to a little 8 year old me and examined me.

"She's a good strong girl and has potential . . . fine I will take her off your hands."

"How much will you give me?" Akio asked in a greedy voice.

"1,000 dollars."

"Perfect." Dad gave a wicked smile.

"Does Avaron know about this?" the strange man asked.

He knows my momma? I thought. What's going on I'm scared!

"Yes and all she said was "Keep my little flower safe." Dad said.

"Will do Haruno-san, Kimiko! Take the child to her room."

"Yes sir." A girl who just popped out of nowhere grabbed me by the arm and dragged me away.

"Dad? What's going on! WHY DID YOU TAKE ME HERE?" I screamed.

"You're going to help the family Sakura; this is the last time we will see each other." Dad said in a cold voice.

"Don't you love me?" I sniffled; I was crying and feeling myself falling to pieces.

"Heh Heh Heh, Sakura if I loved you, you wouldn't have been sold into the mafia." He paused. "You know you were a mistake, I wanted a son, BUT I GOT YOU INSTEAD YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Dad roared at me.

I felt something be ripped from my mind and being then all warmth left me and I turned cold.

"I HATE YOU, MAY YOU FOREVER ROT IN THAT HOUSE, AND MAY YOU NEVER SEE SUNLIGHT AGAIN! I HOPE MOMMA LEAVES YOU AND THAT YOU WILL NEVER GET A SON! I HOPE I ALWAYS STAY IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND AS A GUILTY CONCIENCE KNOWING WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DONE WAS A MISTAKE!" I yelled at him, putting all the emotion I could muster and I wasn't a naïve child and I had a temper. And I knew what I was talking about. And everyone just stood with their mouths gaping at me. Then Kimiko snapped back and lead me away.

DREAM END

I woke up panting, I was sweating badly and I felt tears come out of my eyes and roll off my cheeks. I thought I had forgotten that, suppressed it or something, I DON"T WANT TO REMEMBER! I am not useless or unloved .I have friends and a family who cares and loves me. I'm happy.

I had to get out of my room it was suffocating me. So I got up and got a glass of water. Then went and laid down. I looked at the clock and it said 2:57 a.m. well I better try to sleep. Big day tomorrow, though I highly doubt I'll fall back asleep. Within minutes I was slipping into unconscious-ness.
