-Recap-
At the last two words the phone dropped and shattered as Sakura's mind went into shock. Did she just say Future Housemate?! She was coming to live with me?!' Sakura thought. 'Housemate!!' With those two words, all chaos was bound to break loose. Oh yeah Sakura, you should've DEFINITELY let it roll to voicemail.
-End Recap-
"Why?!...Why me?!...Why does it always have to be me!?" cried Sakura as she slammed her head down on the table. Sakura had called her friends after the 'big news' and told them to meet her at the 'Konoha Café'. They were now all sitting at a table, sipping coffee, and listening to Sakura's story.
"Oh, come on forehead! She can't be that bad!" Ino protested, while taking a sip of her vanilla-bean latte.
"…She tried to kill me when I was three…" Sakura said bluntly.
TenTen shook her head. "Don't you think you're a little bit over-exaggerating?"
Sakura rolled her eyes. They just didn't get it! They didn't understand the evil ways of Saki. "Guys…this is serious! When she comes, we have to be fully prepared! If we don't…she'll kill us all! Trust me, Saki is like the devil! She's a conniving little-"
"Hey cousin" A sweet voice sounded behind Sakura.
"Perfect Cousin!" Sakura lied, finishing her sentence. Her tone had gone from angry to sweet, when she had heard Saki's voice behind her. She didn't want her cousin to know that she hated her. After all, Saki was Sakura's cousin.
Saki stood right by Sakura's table with a sweet smile on her face. She looked just like Sakura, except her hair was more crimson red; her complexion was a little tanner and her eyes were more of a hazel green rather than a jade one. She wore a dark purple tank top, with a little black half sweater over it. Her Capri's were a dark blue, and she had on purple and black flats. Saki's hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, with loose strands of hair out framing her face. She was beautiful.
"It's so nice to see you, too little cousin!" Saki said, her smile growing warm and friendly.
Ino bent over towards Sakura, and whispered so that no one else could hear. 'Oh yeah, Sakura…she's a real devil!' Ino said sarcastically. Sakura glared at her best friend and whispered back.
"Just you wait, Ino-pig. Right when you'd least expect it…Saki's going to pull one over on us!"
Ino just rolled her eyes at her stubborn best friend and turned to Saki.
"So…Saki is it? Hi, my name's Ino Yamanaka…Sakura's told me so much about you!" Ino said reaching out her hand for Saki to shake.
Saki side-glanced at Sakura for a second, before complying with Ino. "Hopefully good things" Saki said before she stopped shaking Ino's hand.
"So…are you two also friends of Sakura?" Saki asked turning to TenTen and Hinata.
"Oh yeah…I'm sorry, how rude of me…My name is TenTen, and the girl next to me is Hinata." TenTen said also extending her hand out, which Saki shook.
"Well…I've had a long days travel so, do you mind if I sit down?" Saki asked politely.
"Yes, I would mind." Sakura muttered under her breath. Ino nudged Sakura, before she could go on.
"No, no go ahead! We'd love for you to sit down! Wouldn't we Sakura?" Ino said turning to Sakura and giving her 'the look'.
Sakura gritted her teeth. "Yeah, yeah whatever."
Saki looked at her cousin and pretended to have sadness in her eyes. "Sakura…look, I know we've had our differences, but come on! We're both older and more mature, now. I'm willing to forgive and forget if you are. So what do you say…friends?" Saki held out her hand in truce, and Sakura just stared wide-eyed at it.
Sakura stood up from her seat and glared at Saki. "You know just as well as I do, that the only person who has truly grown up here is me!"
"Well, apparently not. If you're not going to accept my apology, then I was wrong…you haven't grown up." Said Saki coolly from where she was sitting. Sakura turned to her friends for reassurance, but they all just looked away.
"G-guys…what's wrong?! Why aren't you guys agreeing with me?" Sakura asked with a confused expression on her face. TenTen was the first to speak up.
"Well…she does have a point Sakura…she's trying to apologize but, like a child, you're refusing. The mature thing to do would be to forgive and forget this whole issue."
Sakura looked at Hinata and Ino to see if what TenTen had said was true, but again, they looked away. Sakura then turned her gaze to Saki, who was smirking.
"I have to go to the bathroom." Sakura said before she stormed off to the back where the restrooms were located.
Once Sakura, was inside of the bathroom, she walked over to the sink and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Look at yourself, Sakura. You're going crazy!" Sakura said to herself. She washed her face quickly, and headed back out towards the table.
Sakura saw her friends all laughing at something that Saki had said, but as soon as the girls saw her, they stopped.
Ino half-giggled when she began talking. "Oh, um –giggle- hey Sakura…we were just talking about you –giggle-"
Sakura clenched her fists. " About what exactly?
Saki took this time to cut in. "Oh, I was just telling them the embarrassing things you did when you were a baby."
The girls all let out a soft giggle, but when they all saw Sakura's glare, they pretended to cough rather than laugh. Sakura shook her head and grabbed her purse, and coat and stormed out of the café. She heard her friends calling after her, but Sakura didn't stop.
Once she was in her car, Sakura put the key in the ignition, and turned on the radio. One of her favorite songs came on, but she didn't pay attention. She was way to angry to listen to Avril Lavigne.
She's one of those girls, nothing but trouble
Just one look, and now you're seeing double
Before you know it she'll be gone
Off to the next one
She's so good that you won't see it coming
She'll take you for a ride and you'll be left with nothing
You'll be broken she'll be gone
Off to the next one
The song faded away, as Sakura pulled up to her house. She got out, slammed the door, and proceeded to the front door.
"Sakura-chan…what's wrong, rough day?" Said one of Sakura's maids, opening the front door and letting Sakura into her house. Her maid had medium-length blonde hair and blue eyes and was about Sakura's mom's age. Huli was like a second mom to her.
"Thanks, Huli-chan, but I'm fine…it's just…"
"Mistress Saki?" Said the maid finishing Sakura's sentence.
Sakura nodded curtly, before taking off her coat, which Huli put in the closet.
Sakura sighed heavily and flopped on the couch. She looked at the ceiling, and she tried imagining her life with Saki in it. Now, Saki may seem like you average 'sweet-heart' but inside, she was a little evil prick! That 'nice-girl' act just led people on and when the time came, Saki would pull it out from under everyone! Whatever Saki wanted, she got.
Huli walked over to where Sakura was sitting, and she sat down next to her. Sakura could feel her maids' gaze on her, so she turned to face Huli, who had a worried look in her eye.
"Look, Sakura…you know I worry about you…and I know that you don't like your cousin, but please, please try to get along with her. I've seen her 'act' before, and it really is cruel, but being your maid entitles me to not pick favorites amongst the family. I am a servant to all Haruno's, including Saki. So, please, I'd love for you two to get along." Huli said with a warm smile.
Sakura only looked back up at the ceiling before sighing, yet again. "I'll try, Huli-chan…but I'm not making any promises. If she tries anything…I'm not going to just sit back and be ridiculed…it's not like old times, anymore. I'm not going to be the helpless little cousin I once was. No, not anymore."
Huli looked up at her with caring eyes. "Of course, Sakura-chan…just don't do anything that you'll regret later. Remember: Stooping down to her level doesn't make a fight…it makes chaos."
Sakura propped herself into a proper seating position. "Thanks Huli-chan, you really are like a second mom to me." Sakura said as she hugged Huli.
"Anytime, Sakura-chan. Now, I'm going to go get started on dinner, I'll call you when it's all ready." Replied Huli, as she stood up, and dusted of her uniform. She gave a small smile, before turning and walking towards the kitchen.
When Huli was out of earshot, Sakura slumped down on the couch.
'Great…I just made a promise to Huli-chan than I know I can't keep!' Sakura thought to herself. As she closed her eyes
'What am I going to do now? My least favorite cousin is moving in, my friends think I'm crazy, I just made an impossible promise, and I haven't heard from Sasuke all da-'
Sakura's eyes shot open, and she bolted upright. That was it…Sasuke! Sasuke could help her feel better!
Sakura smiled, and reached for her purse which was resting on the coffee table. She dumped out the contents, and began rummaging through all of her stuff.
"Lipstick…mirror…pad…money….where is that stupid phone!" Sakura said in frustration. She looked back into her purse and in her pockets…but the phone wasn't there.
'Okay…the last place I saw my phone was…on the table at the caf-'Sakura began to think, but she stopped, when she had remembered the café.
Sakura closed her eyes, and heavily sighed as realization hit her. There was only one explanation, for her missing phone.
"…Saki…" Sakura whispered, closing her eyes as she sighed for like, the fourth time that day.
Like I said…what Saki wants…Saki gets.
