I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, I was too busy with my other story, The Land of Spades.

Speaking of which, if you don't remember what has happened so far, let me give you a brief update.

1: Sakura left Heaven.

2: Gaara got sick.

3: Sakura accidentally created a gemstone changer.

4: Kakashi asked her to make more to help Gaara. (And Sai is a stalker.)

Got it? Good.

Previously:

Before I could run to my bedroom to collapse in my bed, as an after thought, he came back and said,

"I am not an old man!"

"Late reaction, mister."

I was watering the plants in Konoha, and humming happily, when God yelled, "SAKURA! WAKE UP!"

"Whad'ya mean, wake up?" I said dreamily, moving on to the next rosebush.

"I'm wide awake. And I don't have to go anywhere anyway."

"YOU HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL! NOW!"

"Hey God, it's not good to scream," I continued, yawning as I pruned the orange tree.

"I'M NOT GOD, I'M SAI!"

A cold burst of water hit me, and I woke up panting, my eyes wide.

"SAI!" I yelled accusingly, wringing out the water in my hair.

"Hey, you were the one not waking up. And I-"

"Only say the truth, yeah, I know." I started to shiver. Waking up to a bucket of water in your face was not the best way to start the day.

"What are you so anxious about anyway? It's not like we have to-"

"Did you forget, Sakura?" Sai said calmly, sipping his tea.

I now realized he had a school uniform on, and the realization hit me like a brick.

"I'M LATE TO MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!"

Sai watched me as I jumped out of bed a full 3 feet and grabbed my female school uniform that Kakashi had gave me the other day.

I was about to pull my shirt off, but realized that Sai was watching with interest, turned, and glared at him.

"GET OUT!" Throwing Sai out, I breathed a sigh of relief. That was a close one.

Quickly getting into the gold and white uniform with a crest in the shape of a sun on my shoulder, I changed my hair color into a light brown, and my eyes into a warm hazel.

The red tie that went with the outfit tied itself on while I swept up my hair into a ponytail.

I looked into the mirror for one last check.

I smiled to myself. Good.

The black skirt and the gold and white blazer, plus the red tie looked really good. The person who designed these uniforms must be awesome!

"Are you ready yet?" Sai came in without knocking, and I sighed at the fact that I had a pervert for a neighbor. It was going to be a looong year.

"Hey Sai, don't the guys wear the same color as the girls?"

Sai was wearing a dark purple and black uniform, with a white tie.

"Yes, I'm just in the elite class of the school, and we wear... special uniforms. "

I could just tell he was laughing and smirking at me.

"Are you trying to tell me that I'm not smart, Sai?"

"Of course not, Ugly! I'm just telling you that I'M in the elite class, and YOU aren't."

We laughed with strained smiles on our faces for at least 5 minutes, then rushed out the door.

I dodged a couple of people walking dogs, jogged with a morning runner for several minutes, said hello to a couple of college students hanging around, and barely made it into the classroom.

And then looked at the empty class.

A pretty ravenette with red eyes looked up. "Why hello! Are you a new student? I'm sorry, but class doesn't begin for another hour."

I felt the blood rush to my face and I clenched my hands into fists.

SAI!

Meanwhile, with Sai...

Sai sneezed. Must be Sakura talking about him again, he reasoned, and chuckled at the joke he had played on her.

There would be hell to pay for it later, but for now, Sai just wanted a good laugh.

"What are you laughing about, Sai?"

"Nothing, just a prank that I played on a transfer student. "

"A prank isn't just nothing," The figure said, his cold voice hinting at sarcasm.

"Of course, Lord -, you're completely right." Another shadow stepped out of the darkness, and Sai knew who it was without even turning around.

"Why hello, -, it looks like you're in a fine mood this morning. "

"You've got one thing right, I feel about as dead as a doornail. " The shadow scoffed, and Sai just smirked. He knew - too well.

"Anyways, our plan must be set in motion. Is - ready?"

"He better be. - is always complaining about how it's too bright and how he wants to sleep."

Sai sighed. It was not the first time - had complained about the brightness of the human world, but he would just have to bear it.

Their target was in sight, and it was time to strike.

- chuckled. It had been a long time since he had seen Sai this excited before, and to tell the truth, he was extremely excited as well.

"Sakura... Cherry Blossom..."

Sorry if this was short, but it looks like this story will have to updated short chapters each unless I'm feeling energized.

K, gotta go, BYE! R and R please!
