Warning: I have been completely obsessed with the song This is Gospel by Panic at the Disco therefore if it shows up in here don't be surprised.

I sighed. The last three years were pretty uneventful. I couldn't help but feel proud that I was able to make Shikamaru, Kiba, Choji, and Naruto my friends.

I tuned into Iruka-sensei's ranting. "-seriously Naruto, Sakura quiet skipping school!"

"Yes sensei," We both murmured. Although if we really wanted to... Iruka never would have caught us.

I wasn't looking forward to tonight. It was the day of the week that 'dad' came home from work.

Eventually Iruka untied us and told us to sit down and he went on about the lecture he had been in the middle of.

"Alright, its time for lunch." Iruka called out, "It's also time to say good-bye to the girls, they will be taking special Kunoichi lessons and will rejoin our class again next year."

My mood instantly fell. I only had four friends...every last one was a boy.

As soon as we were dismissed I ran. I ran as fast as I could, out the door, out into the open area and down the street. I didn't know if the boys were following me or not but right now I really didn't care.

My destination had been the park where I think the flower picking scene that Sakura and Ino remembered was at.

I curled up under the tree and cried. I don't really know the reason why I was crying. I just cried.

My cute little boys weren't going to be with me, no more cloud watching-or eating contests, no more pranks, no more getting tackled from the dog and his owner. I was crying, the logical side of me told me that I could always see them after school, but the child part of me thought I was loosing my friends for real.

"What a drag."

I hiccuped and forced a small laugh. I furiously wiped at my cheeks and eyes.

"You're just going to a different class, not a different city." That was Kiba's voice. So they had followed me.

"Sakura-chan, you'll be fine!"

"We can always hang out after school." Choji was agreeing with my logical side.

"I know." I sobbed, "I don't want to leave my friends!" I wailed into my hands and curled up even more.

I honestly knew I was being ridiculous but I became a little kid after being in this body for so long. I would've been seventeen and probably in jail for murdering my 'father'. I started to shake, my sobbing turning violent.

I felt something plop itself on my head and four pairs of arms wrapped themselves around me. I felt so warm.

"Troublesome woman." I laughed.

I laughed and laughed, my tears turned to happy tears. My boys were here with me, they weren't going to leave me.

They tugged back and smiled at me. I felt my face threaten to break in half from the startling grin that I couldn't get rid of. "I am, aren't I?" I giggled.

I launched myself at Shikamaru, grasping him in a really tight hold.

"Oi, Sakura-chan I want a hug too!"

I laughed and released Shikamaru who gasped for air, whoops.

I tackled Naruto to the ground, "Can't...Breathe."

I laughed, this was definitely the best.

I skipped home, thinking about how I could improve my skills. I was already good at the plants. I'm so glad I had a crazy psycho scientist as a father. The flower arranging was pretty good, not compared to Ino's but hey I'm not half bad.

I started to hum but stopped abruptly. I couldn't really hum a song no one has ever heard of yet right? Or ever will.

I tugged at my bangs frustrated, This is Gospel by Panic at the Disco was stuck in my head. Damn it! I wished, not for the first time, that I had been able to have my ipod. At least then I wouldn't have to deal with this annoying nagging.

I harrumphed and walked inside.

I jumped into a basic academy defensive stance seeing the three unfamiliar faces with 'dad'.

"Sakura, stop embarrassing yourself." He said harshly, I flinched at the tone. He almost never spoke to me. "Stand up straight girl. You are my daughter, stop acting like a village fool."

I did just that, straightened my posture. I knew the drill, my real 'father' had instilled it in me for the shows he put on for his fellow mad scientists. I glided on my feet to stand next to my 'dad' who was sitting in the recliner facing the couch where the intruders sat.

Two of them looked very similar, messy dark red hair, shockingly similar eye color as Sakura's was, on both faces were a grim line, the only differences? One looked to be about the same age as my 'dad' and the other one looked a few years older than me.

The lone female in the room looked plain, blonde hair and blue eyes, pale skin, and a frowning face. Nothing worth noticing really.

"Father?" I asked not breaking the eye contact and ending the glaring contest me and the boy were having.

"Sakura this is your cousin, Kaito." My father nodded to the boy.

I broke the glaring contest to look up at my father, confusion written all over my face.

"He is your fiance." My eyes bulged. I felt my heart hammer harder, had this really happened in the anime? Did they really marry in their families like this? Have they heard what inbreeding does?

"I-I-I-" I stammered I couldn't even think straight enough to retort to such a ridiculous suggestion. No way in hell I'd marry him. If I was going to marry some one in Naruto it'd be Gaara or Sasori before this twerp. Okay he wasn't a twerp and his red hair was pretty amazing...Damn my attraction to red heads.

"Sakura stop stuttering." He commanded. I obeyed. "You will from now on drop out of that school. I will have you enrolled in the woman's school-"

"No." I put malice behind my words and almost smirked at his reaction, but I was too angry for that right now. "I will not drop out of the academy. If he wants to marry me, he is going to marry a Kunoichi. If he is not willing to compromise for that I will disconnect myself from this family. I would cease to be your daughter, and cease to being related to them. I will not give up my dream to become a civilians breeder."

I huffed up my chest, posing every bit of a threat a Kunoichi in training was compared to these civilians. Wait a second, I thought both of her parents were Shinobi? I mean I don't really remember it very much considering its been a few years since then...Did I land in an alternate universe parallel to the one of the anime series?

This wasn't right I concluded glaring at the man who had threatened to make her a normal civilian. I guess this was my own real life, different from the anime and maybe that was a good thing. Although being able to tell the future would be really helpful with this world, anything could happen.

"Sakura-san." The female's voice was clipped and well angry I thought.

I turned to face her and level her with my icy glare. "I will not take my words back." I said it so calmly that I saw her flinch. "I may be only nine, but I know where my loyalty lies. It lies with the protection of Konoha. I will protect it until the bitter end. I will be strong enough to protect my family when I choose to have one. I will become a legend in the making. That is my dream, and it will come true with or without you four." My tone was even with enough passion laced into it that this woman's eyes softened.

"You really are your mothers child." I heard her mutter and a small pang went through my chest. My 'mother', no Sakura's mother died on a mission about two years ago. I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes.

I had only really known her for a year but she felt like a real mother to me, she loved me and I loved her too. Her death was something I didn't take well. Even if I had already lost one, but I couldn't remember having that experience. I had forgotten what it had been like to have a mother until that year. I turned my face away from her and stared at the wall.

"I agree to the terms set up by your daughter, Kizashi-kun." The woman said catching me off guard. "But, the second she strays from her dream I will be tying her down to a family."

I couldn't help it, I cracked a smile. She seemed like the voice of reason in her family.

"Very well, I will have to agree with her." The boys father stated.

"I accept the terms that have been set." I looked at the man Sakura had called father but couldn't find any emotion hidden behind tired green eyes.

"Kaito-kun, you and Sakura-san should take the time to get to know each other." The woman said placing her hand on top of the boys head.

I had yet to really see any reaction from the boy. Nothing, it was like he was a puppet.

"Yes, Okaa-san." He said, only his lips moved. His eyes stared straight ahead, not looking at anything in particular at all.

Again sorry about the song... Well I hope this chapter was good.

Any suggestions are welcomed with open arms!
