It's been a few years since I met my fiance, and well he is an emotionless prick. The same year I met him, Ino became my friend. We have this weird rivalry going for guess who, nope not Sasuke. We are fighting over Shikamaru out of all people. Not romantically of course, just trying to see who could keep the geniuses attention the longest, so far I'm winning.
I managed to make friends with the shy Hinata, we train together a lot. Ino joins us some times, depending if she's chasing after Sasuke or not. He's still relatively the same as cannon, cold, distant, and an asshole.
Anyways today was the day our teams were going to be decided, so many things were different that I began to hope that maybe just maybe I'd get a different team, not that I don't mind being on a team with Naruto but honestly he is way too loud to handle all the time.
I got out of bed, a huge smile adorning my face. Finally I get to wear my actual ninja gear! I ran to my closet full of excitement.
I had always been an early bloomer, so having boobs and a good hip width was no surprise to me. I began to search for the black corset that would only cover most of my chest and end just an inch or two from my sternum with white lacing, the black mesh high waist band shorts that would cover most of my stomach til about an inch above my stomach, the black short shorts that had white stitching on the sides, the black skin tight spandex gloves that would end above my elbows and cover my fingers, and last but not least the black jacket that ended about an inch from knees.
I grabbed them and took a shower, changed, then stood in front of my vanity mirror. I glanced at the clock wondering if I had time to weaponize my hair. I only had about twenty minutes to finish getting ready and get to class. I could always do my hair tonight or tomorrow. I sighed and just pulled it up into a high pony tail. My bangs framed my face and placed my forehead protector on my forehead.
Damn I looked hot. I looked sixteen not twelve. I giggled.
I wrapped my kunai holster on my left leg and my pouch on the right side of my waist. I was ready for anything.
Hell yes we are!
Oh and the old Sakura, yeah I awakened her. Tragedy usually causes some people to go slightly insane, so this wasn't surprising to me. She started talking to me when I was nine. She hates Kaito too.
Keimico, we are going to be late if you don't head out now.
I shook my head and began to run. I hate being late. Just one of my pet peeves.
I can't wait to find out who my teammates are.
I want to be on Shika's team! That'd show the pig!
As much as I'd love to be on Shikamaru's team we already know its going to be the new InoShikaCho group.
But that means she wins!
Not really, she may be training with him from now on, but he would still pick hanging out with me any day.
Hey if we get Kakashi as our sensei are you still going to try and make him blush?
That will be too easy, I smiled evilly as my feet carried me to the academy.
Ino was waiting for me at the door, she had always done this. We'd go in and sit next to each other. She was my life line and I was her savior. That's how we referred to ourselves as.
I smiled at her and waved, she did the same.
"Hey forehead!" Yes I still had that insufferable nickname, but hey hers was worse.
"Yes pig?"
"Excited for teams?" She asked linking her arm with mine.
"I can't wait!" I chirped, "But I bet your gonna end up with Shika-kun and Choji-kun." I pouted.
"Haha, then I'd win!" She smiled haughtily, no actually I would win. This was my way of trying to get Ino and Shikamaru together before he met Temari. Temari was cool and every thing I just liked ShikaIno better then ShikaTem.
We'd look good with him too!
I know but honestly I'd rather be with Gaara, damn that man is so damn hot.
He is also very scary!
Only until Naruto breaks through his barrier. After that he becomes the hottest piece of meat to walk the earth.
You're weird.
It's not being weird. I just have a thing for guys with blood red hair.
Ino and I entered the classroom and spotted Hinata sitting by herself. "Hina-chan!" I yelled and waved enthusiastically. I saw her smile and wave. She had gotten better about being shy, thanks to me and Ino. We both were so loud that she had to be loud to be heard when she was with us. No more stuttering, no more pausing when talking, this was the new and improved Hinata.
"Kura-chan, Ino-chan." She greeted with her soft voice. Just because she stopped stuttering didn't mean she had a strong voice, at least around other people. When we were alone we had a hard time quieting her.
"Hina-chan, you excited?" Ino asked sitting on her left and I took up the seat on Hinata's right.
"Yes I can't wait." She smiled. I hoped for her sake that Shino and Kiba were still on her team. Kiba would take good care of her and Shino would be there to keep them out of trouble.
"Kura-chan, how's Shiyo?" Hinata asked taking me out of my stupor.
"He's doing fine, running around now though. I can barely keep up with him any more." I whispered, the only people who knew about Shiyo was Hinata and Ino, and that ANBU officer who helped me.
I tried not think about the memory. I really hated Kaito.
He did give us Shiyo though, and he woke me up.
Yes but still, I could really have done with out that memory.
I know it was a bit traumatic, although probably nothing compared to your old life.
Eh I guess, well I know the procedure was probably more complicated than just adding animal DNA into my system. Probably had radiation and other things as well. I really have no idea how it worked. Some times the little check ups went for a long time and well others were just that a check up.
God I feel for you.
Oh shut up it wasn't that bad.
Your father experimented on you, you weren't a human being. You were a test subject.
Eh, I got used to that after the first year.
"Good every one is here, congratulations on making Genin." Iruka said, I looked around for Naruto.
I smiled at the blonde, then at Shikamaru, then Kiba, then at Choji. We all made it.
Was that really all that surprising?
Oh shut up.
I looked back up at Iruka, he was calling out teams. "Team seven, Naruto Uzumaki..." I saw the blonde perk up, "Sakura Haruno," Cue a victory whoop from both me and Naruto, "And Sasuke Uchiha." I growled and crossed my arms across my chest, damn it I wished the teams had been changed.
"Team eight, Hinata Hyuuga," I looked over at her, "Kiba Inuzuka," Good, he'll protect her well, "And Shino Aburame." Perfect tracking team.
Hyuuga princess safe and sound.
Sarcasm will get you no where in life.
Haha very funny.
I'm glad She's with Kiba and Shino. In the anime they became the best of all best friends, I think.
Well maybe this time it will be different.
Doubt it, Kiba wants to always play 'princess' saying that Naruto should play the dragon that he has to slay to rescue me. That way he'd be my knight in shining armor. So I'm pretty sure he'd treat Hina the same way.
Probably but what about Shino?
I don't know I could never really get him to talk to me. I'm just glad he doesn't have spiders as his 'hive'. I repressed a shutter. Spiders are so gross.
All bugs are.
Nope just spiders...and cockroaches, and crickets...and yeah no that's all of them.
Ino poked me, "You were right. Ha I win."
I pouted and looked away from her as she rolled her eyes, even though I knew she was just teasing me.
"Alright, you have an hour for lunch. After that come back here to meet your sensei." Iruka got my attention.
"Ino-chan, Hina-chan are you going to eat with your teammates?" I asked practically bouncing in place. I had waited for this day for so long.
"Yeah." Ino said waving as she walked to the two boys.
"Yes," Hinata smiled, "Kura-chan?"
"Hm?" I asked noting how soft her voice had gotten.
"Will you still want to train with me now that you have a team?" She asked so quietly I had to lean in closer to hear her.
"Hinata. You will always be my training partner, you know why?"
She shook her head.
"Because you are bad ass and a hell of a lot stronger than most girls our age." I commented seriously, I saw her face brighten up.
"Really?"
"Yup," I nodded, "After your done with your team, wanna come over to my house?"
"Sure." She smiled.
"Hey make sure you tell Ino that too!" I said before she was dragged away by Kiba and Shino.
"Sakura-chan!" I turned and waved at Naruto.
"Wanna have lunch together?" I asked, noting that his cheeks didn't flush like they would've in the anime.
"Sure," He nodded.
So this has gotten pretty wordy and what not. I had to leave some suspense for a different area in this story so I may or may not answer your questions. I honestly can't wait to type up the next chapter. :)
