We're back! Here is the next installment of our ever-growing story! Credit goes to MadHope again, if it wasn't for her, this story would be half the story it is ^^ lol. Okay enough about us, here's the chapter!

The high school was amazing. Everything about it was so different than what Sakura was used to, it was just so…big. Sakura slowed her pace as she walked through the front entrance of Konoha High. Glancing around, Sakura noticed that people were staring at her; probably all wondering what kind of a freak would have pink hair. Her face became flushed as she quickly made her way through the large hallways, focusing on where her first class was. Completely unaware of her surroundings, Sakura bumped into a girl who looked about the same age as she. The girl before her had light blue eyes, and blonde hair pulled into a ponytail.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you. I was just looking for my class…" Sakura apologized to the girl and began to start walking away—

"Oh no, it's my fault." Said the blonde girl. "My name is Ino Yamanaka, I'm a freshman here at Konoha High. You must be new, I've never seen you around." The girl, Ino, smiled at Sakura and stretched out her hand. Sakura took it, shaking it lightly.

"I'm Sakura Haruno. My dad got transferred here during the summer. I'm also a freshman, but I haven't really gotten used to the place." Sakura found herself speaking more natural than she had expected; there was something about Ino that made her comfortable.

"Well, I guess I'll be seeing you around." After her first attempt, Sakura started walking away again from Ino—

"Wait, I could help you get to know everyone here. I know about everything that happens here, and I have a feeling you and I are going to be great friends." Again, Ino smiled and this time, Sakura returned the smile with true intentions.

"Sounds great, thank you." With that Sakura and Ino headed through the hallways, constantly changing the subject, getting to know each other. She seems real nice, thought Sakura. I think that this will be a great year. I wonder though, she keeps finding her way back to talking about this Sasuke guy, he sounds hot. I wonder where he is right now…

With Akamaru trailing behind him, Kiba looked up at the large building known as Konoha High. The place was packed with all sorts of people, some of which were stranger than others. Kiba scanned the area around him, spotting punks, cheerleaders, and the occasional nerds. I'm already starting to like it here, thought Kiba with a smirk as he started walking towards the arch that led into the new school. Within moments Kiba found himself wandering through the long, packed hallways checking out new students and locating old ones that were barely recognizable. After getting bored with looking at all the people, Kiba saw two girls walking his way, and smirked.

"Hey Ino! What's goin' on? I haven't seen you all summer; I thought maybe you were avoiding me." Kiba shifted his gaze from Ino towards the girl with short pink hair. "And who is this? Someone I should know?"

Ignoring Kiba's remark, Ino greeted him. "Hey Kiba, didn't see ya there!" Turning to her new friend, Ino introduced Kiba to the girl. "Kiba, this is Sakura Haruno. She's a new student here and I want you to be nice to her." The girl, Sakura, smiled with a hint of flush and outstretched her hand.

"Hi, you're Kiba right? Ino mentioned you earlier. I had no idea she could talk so much about a single person!" Sakura smirked. Ino giggled and proceeded down the hallway with her new friend.

Kiba continued through the hallways, thinking about that Sakura girl. Huh, she was pretty cute; but I don't know if she was my type. Deep in thought, Kiba caught a glimpse of someone who brought a feeling of familiarity. Well well, if it isn't Neji. A smirk grew across Kiba's face as he rushed to catch up with the boy he had seen, moving through the halls with amazing accuracy.

"Neji!" The boy ahead stopped and turned around. Neji Hyuuga was a quiet sophomore, with dark brown hair that was long enough to put into a loose ponytail. His eyes were a faded silver color that made his face look strong. If you were lucky enough to witness Neji when he was focused, you could see the veins around his eyes pop out.

"Kiba," greeted Neji with a calm tone. "I had forgotten you were coming to this school this year. It's been a while, I wish I had time to catch up, but I'm kind of in a hurry. I heard there were some seniors picking on a new freshman here; I need to go check it out."

"Oh, yeah? Well then how about I join you? I have nothing better to do, besides, this sounds like fun." Kiba smiled.

"Very well then, you may do as you like. Just don't get in my way." Neji continued through the halls with an eager Kiba following closely behind.
