Bail Out I: Seeing Orange


Stupid Pig. Who does she think she is?

It was past lunchtime, but Haruno Sakura was still reeling from the morning's discussion with Ino. As she treaded through the halls with heavy feet and tightly-wound fists, her classmates sent her wary glances, the underclassmen fled in fear, and no one dared ask about the impetus of her latest tirade.

It's not like the driving force behind such behavior really varied, anyway; when Sakura saw red, it was often because she had just seen orange.

"Hey, Sakura-chan!"

The remaining classmates scurried away, and prayed for as little bloodshed as possible.
