It has been a grand total of two years since I have started living in Konoha Village, one year since I have started to have conversations with an inner me and convince my 'father' to let me attend the ninja academy, and a week since I have meet the guy all the girls in the village seem to go crazy over. I myself have started to get this very odd feeling when I am around him but what ever is making the girls in the village go crazy seems to have a hold of my friend Ino Yamanaka. However, I still have the nightmares that I tell no one about. The dreams where all of the people I grew up knowing, everyone that depended on me to keep them safe, everyone I hold dear is dead and haunting me for the rest of my life.

Five years later I am still having the nightmares, I have ended my friendship with Ino Yamanaka because we are both in love with the same man, and I am going to be placed in a cell/team. I don't know who my team members will be or who the jounin in charge will be all I do know is it better not be Ino and I definitely do not want Naruto Uzumaki on my team. I thought to myself as I stood in front of a full length mirror looking myself over. "Sakura, your going to be late!" My 'mother' called to me as I sighed.

"I know!" I called back before letting out another sigh. Twelve years old and they still treat me like I am five. Kind enough of them to let me keep my clan symbol but these colors are so not me but the closest I'll be able to get with out giving anything away. I thought disgustedly as I made my way out of the accommodation that I share with the loving couple and made my way to the Academy.

Walking down the streets of Konoha Village in the morning had to be one of the only elemental ups about the village. As I walked I would always be able to feel the first or second breeze of the day. It lightened my mood every day, especially seeming how those in the village that I meet would always greet me with a smile.

As I made my way to the Academy I had the unfortunate luck of running into Ino. We raced head to head to the Academy and our classroom getting ourselves stuck in the door way. Once in we were fighting about the first to enter before Naruto Uzumaki made his appearance. I gave him my usual 'princess' stay away from me routine before finding Sauske and 'talking' to him. As always he didn't really reply, not like always Naruto got all into his face and picked a fight with him. Then some one knocked into Naruto causing his lips to meet Sauske's lips, now unlike the other girls I was not at all pissed off at the fact that the dead last student of the academy stole a kiss from the lips of the guy I am currently crushing on/ in love with. Actually, I was more upset at the fact that they stopped. After all there is no telling when I am leaving Konoha and going back to 'my village',so it's not like I can really let myself be in a romantic relationship anyway.

After all of that was settled an I had hit Naruto very hard Iruka-sensei, as they address the teachers and some respected adults here in Konoha, walked in to which we all seated ourselves. I sat in between Naruto and Sauske waiting for Iruka-sensei to tell me what cell/team I was in. After what felt like forever Iruka-sensei finally got to my name and sadly for me that meant I was on a team with Naruto Uzumaki, the good side to that I also ended up on the same team as Sasuke-kun. One out of two heart throbs of the whole village, which was saying something seeming how they are only twelve and thirteen yet are getting chased by not only girls their age but by women younger and older than them as well.

Anyways back to my new cell/team, we are currently in an empty classroom waiting for our cell/team leader to arrive. Yes, he/she is late with a capital L mind you. Choosing to ignore my idiotic blonde teammate and not really feeling in the mood to be ignored by the 'oh so great' Uchiha I sat there instead comparing the hidden leaf village to my own 'hidden' village. Whoever the heck is coming so would get an earful about the importance of being on time from the Mentally Ill Professor. Then they would have to sit there and listen to the Overly Strict Queen of Fun Sucking lecture them about the fact that they should never keep royalty waiting. I thought with a inward smirk. As to 'here' I would just have to suck it up and deal with it.

I sighed before noticing that the hyper-active-baka as I have dubbed him put an eraser on the door that was barely open. "What are you doing?" I demanded cursing myself for asking something with such an obvious answer.

"Think of it as punishment for making us wait so long." The hyper-active-baka replied stepping away from his 'master piece'.

"He isn't going to fall for that, he happens to be a jounin, dobe." Sasuke-kun said in his monotone voice that for some odd reason always seemed to make my heart rate increase. Naruto replied with something or other though I didn't catch it and then the door was open and a head with a face that was covered with cloth with the exception of the right eye walked in getting hit with the eraser in the process.

After picking the fallen eraser up he has nerve to call us idiots! Was the only thought going through my head as our new 'instructor' lead us to where we would go over a few things or do whatever it was he was planning for us.

We arrived at the roof of a building where our 'instructor' told us to introduce ourselves. Of course I had to question him on this, I mean there was just no way I was going to be able to just say I am the princess of a whole different village and not cause a few heads to turn. Then when the hyper-active-baka told him he should give us an example of how it is done all he says is: "My name is Hatake Kakashi, my likes and dislikes...I don't feel like telling you, my dreams/goals...I've never really stopped to think about it, and my hobbies...I have a lot of hobbies."

Then he tells us it is our turn and chooses Naruto to begin he replies with: "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I like ramen, hate the three minute wait for after putting the water in, my hobbies are eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them, and my dream is to become the next hokage so the villagers will stop disrespecting me." To which all the while I was thinking, he is way to much like Mother Earth only you would change Ramen for Wanton's and as to his dream he is so innocent. Though I can't say I would jump at the chance to be his rival not at all.

After Naruto it was my turn and I really said what my 'character/personality' would say while thinking what I would say. So it turned out like this: "My name is Sakura Haruno" My name is Ying Fa Haruno. "I like..." (Look at Sasuke) freedom, being a ninja, dancing, singing, writing stories when I have free time, making anime when I have time, and playing with people's minds. "I hate Naruto." guys like Naruto, guys who hit on me and won't take no as an answer, guys who treat me like I'm some breakable glass doll, women who feel they need a guy around to think for them and protect them, and not being able to protect those I deem important and worth protecting. "My dream..."(Look at Sasuke and squeal) To return to my village, kill whoever is behind the reason for me being stuck here in Konoha, Marry Sasuke Uchiha and have him rapped around my little finger. "My hobbies..."(Look at Sasuke) Discovering new facts/things about Sasuke Uchiha, driving my childhood friends insane, fighting with my grandmother, annoying my god-mother, correcting my ethics instructor, and competing with Ino.

Last but not least Sasuke spoke up and I paid close attention to what he had to say for I did have a crush on him and that always leads to love which leads to other things. He answered the questions like so: "My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things and don't really like anything. I don't have a dream for I will make it a reality I will restore my clan and destroy a certain someone."

The thoughts going through my head at the moment were for lack of a better word confusing. A part of my mind told me to stay far away from him that he was defiantly not the type of guy I, a princess, should mingle with. Another part of my mind was totally infatuated with him, how that could be or even why I myself don't even understand, but it was the same part of me that feared him. Then there was a part of me that envied him for being able to say things like that and make decisions like that and just follow through with them. But the one thing I was sure of was that cell 7/team 7 was now officially a wacked out team and even came up with not only a group name but individual nicknames too. The group could be called the Dark Angels, Sauske nickname would be the Avenging Wolf, Kakashi would be the Mysterious Cyclops, Naruto would be the Ramen Baka, and I would be the Angry Over Protected Flower. I don't particularly like my nickname but with this seal on my back and not being able do much more than have wonderful control over my chakra I would definitely be treated like the 'damsel in distress-princess' I have for so long tried to avoid and detested with a vengeance.
