Sakura Momochi Chapter 7
Sakura sat down on a small stump as Kakashi started telling his team about their new situation, AKA, the new member of their team.
'I have really mixed feelings Inner,' she stated as a small sigh escaped her lips. She felt like one half of her body was dipped in boiling water, and the other in cool water. And sadly, her heart and brain was right in between the two.
She thought back to her first interrogation, and of what she thought…
Sakura glared at Anko, she had a feeling she would probably like this woman a friend out side of this damnable cell, perhaps create a sibling bond. She reminded her so much of her father, and even more of Kisame, but he had left the group long ago.
"What are you talking about?" she grounded out, trying desperately to get a hold on the information she had just been told.
"You heard me right Precious. My friend Kakashi didn't kill your father- practically anyways. But he did kill Haku, but that was an accident, totally unplanned." Anko paused to wait for Sakura's reaction, and smirked when Sakura glared at her.
"C'mon, you don't have to be so tough all the time!" she mocked, holding a piece of dango in front of Sakura nose, but much to her dismay, she didn't pay any attention to the sweet treat.
"What do you mean? Tell me!" she screamed, and Anko almost pitied her for a second. But that went by in a flash, of course.
"Well, what I mean is, Kakashi was about to kill Zabuza, but Haku stepped in between them, dieing himself to save Zabuza. Even with all that, Zabuza was pretty injured, but before he could attack Kakashi, Gauto and his henchmen appeared. Zabuza was pretty pissed, and decided to attack Gauto 'n them instead of Kakashi and his team. He died heroically, he died a strong shinobi. You should be happy Precious. He left with a bang."
Sakura stared at her feet for a long time. 'I see… I acted too soon, I shouldn't have come over here. If I stayed with Kai and Rainin, we would've found that out before making any moves. I acted rashly… I'm getting what I deserve.' She thought, feeling confused, proud, angry, and pleased all at the same time. It was quite a strange mixture of emotions.
"Alright Precious, I'll leave you here to brood on that bit of information. So long!" With that, Anko quickly hopped off of the gray table and walked right out of the room, humming all the while.
Sakura sighed. Her boiling half was angry and upset. A third aimed at Kakashi, and the other half and a third directed at Gauto and his men, though he was probably dead already. It seemed she couldn't avenge her family after all.
Her other half was wonder, confusion, and pleasure. She was extremely proud how her father died, not by the hands of an unworthy… punk- but out going against an army. He died gloriously, just as he always wished he would, not by being bested out by some lucky bastard. She was glad he had died the way he did. But then, she was confused. Should she be angry at Kakashi? It wasn't his fault Zabuza had decided to work for that freak Gauto, who ordered him to kill that bridge builder. So, should she be angry at all…?
And then there was the wonder. Kakashi Hatake… He felt so… familiar? Was that the word she wanted? Maybe. But she couldn't shake that feeling, that strong feeling of familiarity, like he was her family, her friend, her brother… her something. Perhaps in a past life, they had been something to each other.
Maybe it wasn't that long ago. She stared over at Kakashi in the ANBU suit. Every once in a while she would get a flash of a younger Kakashi in a similar suit. Had she known him when she was younger?
"Hey little miss, it's time for introductions!" Sai yelled, giving her a strange fake smile. Sakura stared at him for a second, nodded her head wearily, (she couldn't stop her mind from moving a mile a minuet) and walked over to join them.
Once she had gotten in front of the entire group, she leaned against a tree, her sword right beside her, and stared at the four, waiting for one to start.
"I'm Naruto Uzamaki! Believe it! I'm going to become the Hokage one day! I love eating ramen, and my hobby is eating different ramen and comparing the flavors. I hate the three minutes you have to wait before you can eat the ramen, and that's about it." Naruto stated proudly, and quite loudly. Quite loudly…
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha. I hate fangirls… and a certain somebody. I have ambitions, and I will fufil them, but I don't feel like explaining them for you." Sakura glared at the handsome boy. He was already on her bad list… He might as well as said 'Your not worthy of me, so bow down and kiss my ass!'
"I'm Sai. I don't have a last name. I used to be in ANBU root, and Danzou gave me my name. I like to draw, trying to give people nick names, and I don't really hate anything. At least I don't think I do." He seemed to pause to think, then he shrugged and turned to Kakashi.
Kakashi gave a small crinkle-eyed smile, and rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Well, you already know me. I'm Kakashi Hatake, and I like some things, and dislike some things. I don't really have any dreams for the future, never thought about them really. Oh well. Now how about yourself?"
Sakura stared at all of them. One was a jerk, one was a ramen obsessed perv, the other was an emotionless… guy, and the last… She didn't learn a thing about him other than his name.
Sakura stared at all of them once again. She really didn't want to do this- any on this! So with a sigh, she closed her eyes and thought.
"I'm Sakura Momochi. My hobbies are training and reading. I don't know if I particularly like anything or hate anything either. So that's all I can say." She said softly and opened her eyes. They didn't seem angry or interested. She didn't really expect them to anyways…
'This is going to be a long time…' With a sigh, she stood up and they all started to train. Like the team they weren't…
That was a pretty crappy chapter. But hey, I'm running out of juice! Suggestions are gladly taken! Though I can't reply. I changed my e-mail a while back, so I have to check the reviews manually. They aren't sent to me… Ho-hum… Oh well. Next chapter, Sakura has to go shopping! And she meets the rest of the girls and guys… Great…
Reviews are well welcomed and appreciated!
