"Sakura! Sasuke is leaving! You better give him a hug before he leaves!"

Sasuke? Leaving? Where is he going? Naruto better not be lying.

I quickly got up from my bed and ran out of my room; as if I'm running for my life.

Once I approached the leaving room, there was Naruto standing next to Sasuke, of course; with tears in his eyes.

I didn't know what going on, so I finally said something.

"Where are you going, Mikoto?"

Mikoto, Sasuke's mom, looked at me with a soft elegant smile. "My dear little Saku, we're moving to another country. You see, Fugaku found a decent job. So, we're gonna move in with him."

I looked over at Sasuke that was talking to Naruto, then back at Mikoto. "Oh…okay. Well, me and Naruto are gonna miss Sasuke… but, I understand."

She gently put her hand on my head as she giggled a bit. "Thank you, Saku." Then she looked over at Sasuke while making her way towards the door with Itachi by her side, Sasuke's older brother. "We'll be in the car waiting, dear." The two left from the house.

I made my way toward Sasuke, trying my best to not shed a tear. Still, Sasuke would notice it.

"Why are you crying Sakura? I'll be back when I'm a big kid."

"I'm not crying Sasuke! Do you see tears on my face!? I don't think so!" Even though it couldn't be seen that I was crying, but I was crying in the inside.

Naruto poked the side of Sasuke's face with an annoyed look on his face. "Hey! Sakura deserve to cry, Sasu-cake! You're our best friend. Without you, there wouldn't be the Three Musketeers anymore."

He just laughed. Then he gave me and Naruto a big hug. "Ah, okay then. Well, Sakura, you have my permission to cry, but you can't Naru-toad. You're a boy, and boys don't cry!"

As he let go, he then turned away with his back towards us. He glanced behind him and gave a smile. "I promise I'll be back. You have my word. Once I turn 16, the Three Musketeers will reunite!" With that being said, he opened the door and ran out.

My emotion had the control of me, and I couldn't help but cry, so did Naruto.

We just waved our 'goodbyes' at Sasuke as the car drove off with him in the back; waving back at us.

Then I quickly ran outside onto the sidewalk while yelling out, "SASUKE! YOU BETTER COME BACK, OR NARUTO AND I WILL COME AFTER YOU!"

A sound of an alarm was beeping, while it sang, "I don't wanna spend my life jaded. Waiting to wake up one day and find, that I've let all these years go by…Wasted!"

I slowly turned off the alarm; still asleep. "Wh-What time is it...?"

I manage to open my eyes and looked at the clock.

"OH SHIT!"

It was 7:55 A.M. Mondays are the days that I'm usually late.

I jumped out of bed and ran inside of the bathroom.

I only have 5 minutes to get dress and start heading towards the school building.

As I brushed my short pink hair, I was brushing my teeth at the same time.

Then I quickly put on some blue skinny jeans, a white T-shirt with a pink hoodie on, and some white high tops.

When I finished getting dressed, I grabbed my backpack and head out of the front door.

"Damn it! I'm not gonna make it!"

I decide to take a short cut, through the park.

8:05 A.M.

I approached the school building.

I made it, before 8:15 A.M.! I have 15 minutes left before the bell will ring.

To make the time pass, I sat at a bench in front of the school building; resting.

Just right when I was about to close my eyes, I heard my name being called.

I ignored it, but it was getting closer. So, I slightly opened one of my eyes to see who it was.

Apparently, it was Naruto. I should've known it was him, since he likes to call out my name in a singing voice.

"What do you want, baka?"

"I need help on my homework, honey bunch!"

"When you mean, 'help,' you want to copy my homework, right?"

"Maybe…."

I gave out a rough sigh as I begin to dug into my backpack, then I handed it to him.

"Here, hurry up before the bell will ring."

Naruto nodded as he pulled out a pencil and paper while he was copying my answer.

I couldn't help but watch him. With his presence around, I would always get distracted by his body movement. He's the type that doesn't stay still in one place for more than one second, maybe more like one millisecond.

"Hey, Naruto…. I had a weird dream today."

He glances at me, and then looked back down to his paper. "What were you dreaming about?"

"It was about Sasuke, that time when he was leaving."

"Sasuke, huh? Damn, that was seven years ago. I can't believe it's been that long."

"Do you think he still kept his promise?"

"Hell, how should I know? He better keep that promise, because I won't let some bastard break a promise for my best friend, Sakura."

"Sasuke isn't just a bastard. He's our bastard."

The bell suddenly rang.

Naruto put his things away back into his bag, then he handed my paper back. "Well, I'll see ya at lunch, alright? Chow." He walked off into the school building.

I looked up at the sky; watching the clouds roll by.

"I hope he still remembers us, if so, he must be keeping the promise then."

Lunch time came around.

I was sitting with my homies; I guess that's what you call them.

Well, that's what Naruto calls them.

I was sitting with Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Temari, Ino, and Ten-Ten.

The other group was somewhere else, probably studying or has practice.

Oh well, at least I was with someone.

As I was about to take a bit of my sandwich, Shikamaru asked a question.

"Hey, Sakura. Where's Naruto at? Isn't he usually with you when you get out of your 4th hour?"

I shrugged, and gave a truthful answer. "I'm not sure where he is at. You know him, wondering off; trying to hit on a girl."

Temari laughed as she moved her hand up and down. "Please, Sakura! The only girl he wants to hit on is you. You're everything to him; life and soul. You must be blind to see that. I know I was blind when Shika came around."

Shikamaru sighed as he put his hands behind his head; leaning back on his chair a bit. "You are blind, babe."

Suddenly, Temari's face turned red. Embarrassment or frustration. I couldn't tell, but she slapped her hand against the back of Shika's head. "I'M NOT BLIND, YOU LAZY-ASS!"

Kiba laughed as he pointed at the 'Marriage couple.' "Damn, you two DO act like a marriage couple! I'm glad that I stayed single!"

Ino gave a rough sigh as she shook her head a bit. "Then why do you complain when you don't have a date when there's a dance going on here?"

"WELL! That's a different story. It's not like I'm gonna date the girl that I'm bring to the dance."

"Still, you complain that no one loves you."

"I have Akamaru."

"Akamaru is a mutt." Temari added.

"HE'S NOT A MUTT! HE'S MY BEST FRIEND!"

"Yo, Kiba! Calm down." Shikamaru spoke as he looked over at him. "Fine, you can stay as a single man. You'll regret it later though."

I didn't say anything since I was too busy eating my lunch. Still, Shikamaru's question was bothering me.

Where is Naruto at? He wouldn't be late, would he? Maybe he's in detention? Still, if he was… then he would have texted me, unless his phone was taken away.

As I was about to take my cell phone out, Naruto slowly approached the table.

"Sorry guys! I lost track of time. I too busy showing Hinata around our school."

Hinata? The new girl?

My head was too busy looking down, so I finally looked up at Naruto with the girl next to him.

She's different.

Her aura was calm, and soothing.

So, this must be Hinata Hyuuga that Naruto was talking about last week.

Hinata bowed in respect as she gave out a soft smile. "Hello there. I'm Hinata Hyuuga. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

So, the Princess finally arrives, huh?

Le gasp~!

Hinata makes an entrance. :O
