How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able
Sakura awoke to yet another morning where everyone was already awake. Including Sai. After a lot of debating, blackmail, and threats, Sai was allowed to stay in the Haruno household. However, Naruto flat out refused to let Sai be there alone with Sakura and Hinata, even if Shino and Kiba were there. Sai's past wasn't in his favor on this argument, but Sai didn't seem to care either way. Lee was right nest door with Gai so is something happened, they had more asisstance. And Gaara, he seems to know everything and when Sakura is being attacked falls in the category. Sakura sighed and dressed, afraid to see the war going on downstairs. She walked down the stairs silently to hear Naruto yelling at the top of his lungs, "YOU COULDN'T WAIT 5 MINUTES FOR ME TO GET OUT OF THE SHOWER!"
Then came Sai's remark, "Honestly, there wasn't much there to see either way. I don't see the problem." Sakura peeked around and saw Naruto red in the face and Sai smiling plesantly. Hinata was also red faced, and looked ready to pass out any second. As for Kiba, he seemed torn between hilarity for Naruto's prediciment, and pissed of at Sai's presence. Shino just didn't care.
To see the signs that we missed?
And try to turn the tables
"Um, good morning." Sakura wasn't sure what else could be said. Naruto turned to Sakura grinning, and Sai just kept smiling. "So, what's-" Sakura was about to say "for breakfast" but she felt something vile rise up in her throat, and she ran into the closest bathroom. She returned feeling dizzy and unbalanced nearly tripping over her own front feet.
Everyone other than Sai was surpised by this, the second of which simply drank some coffee, "We should head off to school."
"What's your problem? Sakura's sick!"
"Regardless," Sai replied to Naruto, "I'm not going to be late."
"You stuck up asshole!"
"Naruto!" Naruto looked at Sakura, "I'm going to school, I don't need everyone thinking I ran away. That would just make things worse."
wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late
"But-"
"I'll be fine, I probably just have a bug. No offense Shino."
"None taken."
"The point is, we're all going."
One of the good things about having friends live in your house is they do what you tell them to nine out of ten times, and the tenth time is only when it's life-threatening. A cold is not life threatening, so five minutes later everyone was seperating for their schools. When the group arrived at the school, Gaara joined them. Along with his fan-girls. When one of them, a pretty girl with blue hair, saw Sakura, she sneered, "Well well, if it isn't the school skank. You know, we forgive Gaara for staying with you. He feels sorry for you, and isn't the kind of person to ban a girl after BEEPing her BEEP." (yeah, censors are fun cause then you can decide what she's saying XD) Everyone remained silent, but Gaara's silence coupled with a death glare is something that everyone feared, because it was usually followed by his evil sand. The girls didn't run, but walked away laughing about Sakura.
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
As soon as they were out od earsshot, Naruto turned on Sai, "You jerk! Why didn't you say something? If any of us defended Sakura, it'd just be something friends do! But you are not her friend! You could say something!"
"I don't like lying," Sai smiled, "and I agree with the girls. Sakura didn't even react to what the ROOT men did, proving that the sensation is old news to her. Therefore, she is a slut."
Silence. Sai smiled again, before departing for some curious girls who blushed when he came close to them. Kiba gritted his teeth, "He has no idea what Sakura's been through."
"And he never will," Gaara continued coldly, "he is undeserving."
"We will never trust him." Naruto finished.
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Sakura tried to break the tension, "If we don't get our bags, we're going to be-" Sakura stopped, he face turning green. Without another word, she ran into the closest girls bathroom, which was empty. Skura threw up in the sink, her eyes watering. She washed the stuff off her face and looked at her reflection in the broken mirror. It seemed paler, more broken then her face normally did. She saw the pain in her own eyes, before they fluttered shut and she felt her head hit the sink before she was unconcious.
When she awoke, she was on the bathroom floor, well into first period. "May as well just skip the rest of class," she sighed, wondering why she passed out. "Just a bug," she said aloud, to no one in paticular.
Sakura walked out of the bathroom and heard sobbing. She peekd her head around the corner, seeing Sasuke and Ino. "Sasuke, why?"
Sasuke seemd oblivious to Ino's state, "You lack what I need."
"Sasuke! I thought..."
"I loved you? No, you meant nothing to me. Just like the others."
"It meant nothing to you? Not a thing?"
"You were simply another woman to me."
"It meant something to me! I loved you!"
"Then you are even more of a fool then I thought."
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Ino looked like she was about to say something, but she stopped herself. Crying, she ran aroung the corner and past Sakura, not even noticing the pink-haired girl. The bathroom door slammed as Ino ran in, and Sakura peeked around the corner and saw Sasuke, his hands in his pockets as he walked away. Sakura paused for a moment, then turned back into the bathroom. Ino looked up viciously, mascara staining her ivory skin. "What do you want forehead-girl?!"
Sakura locked the door and walked over to Ino, taking out concealer, "You and I have about the same skin tone, this will help cover the redness." Ino glared at Sakura, distrustful, before grudgingly taking the compact. She turned to the mirror, gently applying it then blending it with her thumb. Sakura remained silent, then spoke, "Sasuke is being an idiot, he can't get anyone prettier then you."
Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Ino chuckled "I don't want your pity Haruno. I have friends for that." She handed Sakura her makeup, then spoke quietly, "Deep down, I always knew that Sasuke never loved me, I just took what I could get. But I guess it doesn't matter. Now that's he's single, the girls will be too busy to torment you, and the guys will be too busy taking bets on who his next girlfriend will be and how long she'll last." Ino sighed, "They'll also be asking me out, but I'm going to stay away from guys for a bit." Ino looked up as the school bell rang, then looked to Sakura with that hard look in here eyes, "Sasuke and I may have broken up, but I'm not going to let you have him Sakura." She walked to the door, and unlocked it as she walked out.
Sakura looked at her face, wondering if it had changed and made everyone think she wanted to date Sasuke, the most confusing person in her world, who would kill her one second, and then save her the next.
Later...
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror
Lunch had come, and Ino's prediction was true, any thoughts of Sakura's recent story drifted to the back of everyone's minds as the two biggest daters were single once again. Tenten and Temari were absent from their boyfriends' sides, they were helping to hide Ino from everyone until she could face them. As usual, Sakura sat with Kiba, Gaara, and Naruto. Sai didn't join them, he was sitting with his fan club, much to their delight. He would smile pleasently whenever anyone told him something, and then the girls would swoon. Kiba scoffed at the table, which was becoming more and more filled with girls every second. Naruto seemed distracted by his ramen, while Gaara worked on some homework. Sakura ate her food quietly, noticing that Sasuke was missing as well. Not that I care... but where is he? He isn't like Ino, he's not avoiding his fangirls, he smirks at them and breaks their hearts. Sakura sighed, and heared the PA call out, "Sakura Haruno and Neji Hyuga, please come to the office. Sakura Haruno and Neji Hyuga..." Sakura looked around to see if there were any other Sakura Harunos she didn't know about, but everyone was looking at her and Neji, sitting a few tables over. With a sigh, Sakura stood up and started to the office, her friends close behind. Neji went alone, Shikamaru was too lazy to go and everyone else had bad memories involving a combination of the office and a little note for the parents. The door opened, and the secretary nodded at Sakura and Neji, but making sure that no one else entered.
Little did she know that the moment her back was turned, Kiba and Naruto snuck in, Gaara simply walking behind them. The principal, a prim woman with glasses called Ms. King, nodded at Sakura and Neji, while ignoring everyone else. She gave a buisness like sniff, before speaking, "Mr. Hyuga and Miss Haruno, I thank you for arriving so promptly." Neji raised an eyebrow at the principal's attitude, while she continued, "I have asked you hear for a very important matter. Miss Hinata Hyuga was hospitalized-"
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
"WHAT!!!!" Ms. King raised an eyebrow at Naruto, who knocked his chair down when he stood up so suddenly. Sakura looked shocked beyond words, Kiba was just dumbfounded. Gaara's eyes were closed, his face emotionless, as was Neji's.
"Yes, blood was dripping from her eyes, and she fainted. I believe that someone called Shino accompanied her to the hospital, and is there currently."
"I see. Is that all?" Everyone turned to Neji, who was acting as though this didn't matter.
"You... you bastard." Naruto was silently cursing before resorting to loud yelling, "Hinata's your cousin! You're supposed to at least be concerned, but you don't even care."
Neji's face did not change during Naruto's outburst, "If we are done, I will return to class."
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that)
"Actually, I am aloowing you all passes to leave class and go to see Miss Hyuga."
"That won't be needed." Without another word, he stood up and walked out of the room. Everyone, even Ms. King stared, unable to say a word.
Ms. King shook herself slightly and regained her composure, "So, will any of you go to see Ms. Hyuga?"
"We all will, duh!" Naruto yelled out, upset that Ms. King would even consider they wouldn't go. Ms. King nodded and handed everyone slips. Naruto stared at his like it was the difference between life and death, his hand shaking slightly, "We're coming Hinata." Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Sakura spoke up, "We should get our bags, we're going straight home after we visit Hinata." Everyone stood up and walked out with Sakura, but then they seperated. Sakura was alone, walking down the hall when she heard a voice call out, "Neji!"
Sakura paused and peeked around the corner, where Neji was standing still as Tenten ran to him, "How's Ino?"
"No one will look for her in a library."
"I find that believeable."
"Hey! She only acted like an idiot because she was trying to impress Sasuke, not because she normally is stupid." Tenten paused, "What did the bitch call you for?"
Neji was silent, then, "My cousin is in the Hospital."
Tenten lookd up at Neji worriedly, "Will she be okay?"
"Probably. All that's happening is our family disease. Simply side effects from out eyes being strained."
"... You're worried, aren't you?"
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
"Hinata isn't as weak as she appears. Her sister, Hanabi, survived. Hinata will too."
"Survive? You mean it can kill!"
"Only the weak."
"Neji..." Tenten looked up at her boyfriend at a loss for words, then stepped closer and hugged him. Neji was still, then slowly pulled Tenten closer.
Feeling she was intruding, Sakura decided to take the longer, yet abandoned, hall to reach her locker. When she did reach it, everyone was waiting for her, "You're late." Gaara stated.
"I know." Sakura took out her bag and went out the doors with her friends, ready to go and see Hinata.
Now the story's played out like this

At the Hospital
Naruto ran up to Hinata, "Hinata! Are you alright?"
"I'll be fine Naruto. It's... normal."
"Normal? Is that why Neji didn't come?"
"... Yes." Hinata gave a weak smile at Naruto, who was now doing some sort of dance that involved jumping around and shouting , "Hinata's gonna be okay!"
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Sakura went up to her friend, "Are you sure you'll be okay Hinata?" Sakura looked at her friend's pure white eyes, just now realizing their strangeness.
"NO DOGS ALLOWED!!!" Sakura turned to see a burse glaring at a cringing Kiba, who had whimpers from a certain dog emitting from his jacket. "GET IT OUT OF HERE!"
Kiba pouted slightly, before taking Akamaru from his jacket and setting him on the floor, "Wait for me outside, okay buddy?" Akamaru gave a short bark to show he understood, then trotted out the door.
The nurse, who a second ago seemed to be pure evilness in the form of a woman, now looked up at Sakura smiling, "so, when are you expecting?"
"Expecting what?" Sakura looked at the woman, puzzled, "My check-up?"
"You mean you don't know?" The nurse gave Sakura an odd look before sigh and saying, "You're going to be a mother."
Silence. Than: "I'M GONNA KILL HIM!!!!!!!!!!" Both Naruto and Kiba ran out the door, ready to murder Sai.
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
The nurse stared at the spaces where both Naruto and Kiba used to stand, "I'm taking it this was unexpected?"
"Not essentially." Gaara's voice was flat, "it is a disturbance"
The nurse glared at Gaara, "When I get home, I will pray to all gods above and below that you aren't that father."
Hinata stared at Sakura, surprised. Shino looked out the window, where Kiba and Naruto were running with Akamaru beind them. Gaara looked at the woman, "You had better be wrong, otherwise life will become the apocolypse tenfold."
"I'm never wrong."
"Then Life as we know it is over."
Someday, somehow
