Sakura awoke from a very peaceful sleep. It was like she had nothing to worry about in her life, until she remembered Naruto. It had been about a month since Sakura had moved to Konoha.
Sakura sat up and looked out the French doors. It was early morning, and the sun hadn't even risen yet.
Sakura sighed and fell to her pillow.
She turned to face the French doors, and she said,
" Naruto.. "
About half an hour later..
Beep! Beep! Beep!
" Ugh!! Stupid alarm clock.. " Sakura sighed as she stopped her alarm clock.
She got up and walked over to her bathroom, and stood in the shower.
After she had finished she set off in her pink towel to her closet. She wanted to Naruto to like her so much..
She decided on a white spaghetti string strapped shirt that flowed below her waist and a little shorter than midway her thigh. Then she wore black capris, with white flip-flops. She tied her hair into a high ponytail and left some bangs on her face to frame her face.
She sprayed on some cherry perfume on her this time, and wore cherry lipgloss that shined.
She took one last look in the mirror and grabbed her backpack.
She made her way downstairs and out the door with a,
" I have to go! I'll see you later dad! " Sakura yelled.
" You too honey. " Sakura's father said.
At School In homeroom..
Sakura walked into the room 301. She saw the usual group of 8 boys sitting in the back, but Naruto was a little side tracked.
He then felt someone walking up to him and looked up to see Sakura. He smiled and said,
" Hey Sakura-Chan!"
" Hey Naruto. What's up?" Sakura asked.
Naruto looked at her,
" Um.. Nothing. So, Sakura..?"
" Hmm? " Sakura asked.
" Do you think-? " Naruto was going to ask, but was interrupted by,
" Hey sexy.. What you up to? " A voice asked behind her, with arrogance in their voice.
Sakura rolled her eyes at the sound of his voice. It was part of her daily routine at school.. And she tired of it.
She turned to see Sasuke smirking at her about 5 inches away from her face.
" Oh, hey Sasuke. " Sakura answered with boredness in her voice.
" So, Sakura..? Do you want to go out with me on Friday? " Sasuke looked so smug, that Sakura wanted to slap that smirk right off his face.
" No Sasuke.. I don't think I do. " Sakura said and she turned back to Naruto, completely ignoring Sasuke.
Sasuke fell to the floor in embarrassment.
Then Sasuke got up and slammed his hand on Sakura's desk. Sakura ignored him. Sasuke was tired of not getting her attention, so he grabbed her arm. Sakura looked at him.
He narrowed his eyes and said,
" You will go out with me Sakura Haruno, and you will like it! "
Sakura glared at him and tried to get out of his grip, but he wouldn't budge.
" Let go of me Sasuke! " Sakura said.
Sasuke had no intention of letting her go.
" Let me go! " Sakura yelled.
Everyone stopped talking and watched the two at it.
" Let me go, now Sasuke! " Sakura screamed.
" N- " Sasuke was interrupted by Naruto punching him hard right in the face, knocking Sasuke off balance and he fell onto a bookcase, causing the book shelf to land right on Mr. Kakashi as he opened the door. (It's about a 6ft shelf that is really heavy, filled with books.)
" Arrggg! " Kakashi yelled as it fell right on top of him.
" OOOOhh!! " The class yelled as it fell all the way down on poor Mr.Kakashi.
After about, 5 minutes of silence, Mr. Kakashi got up and pushed the shelf back. He luckily wasn't hurt so badly, but saw the culprit.
Sasuke was still sitting in the shelf.
Kakashi glared at Sasuke.
" Uchiha Sasuke. To the principles office, now. " Kakashi said as he walked back to the front of the classroom.
" But, Kakashi! Naruto was the one that punched me right into the shelves! " Sasuke yelled as he got up and walked up to kakashi's desk.
Kakashi looked at Naruto. Naruto was sitting there, with a small smirk on his face.
" I don't care. If you hadn't provoked Naruto, it wouldn't have happened in the first place. "
Sasuke looked like he was going to argue some more, but he said,
" Fine. " He turned and glared at Naruto and Sakura, then went out the door.
Naruto was still smirking. Sakura looked at Naruto and mouthed a ' thank you '
Naruto smiled and nodded.
After homeroom..
Naruto walked after Sakura and he said,
" So Sakura..? "
Sakura looked back at him,
" Yeah? "
" Do you want to -? "
" Sakura! "
Naruto was once again interrupted.
Sakura looked up to see an old familiar face.
" Rei..? Is that you? " Sakura asked with a confused look plastered on her face.
Naruto looked to see a girl, about their age, running up to Sakura with long, blue, wavy hair.
Naruto had never seen her in his life.
The girl stopped right in front of Sakura.
" Yup! It's me Rei! "
Sakura seemed to force a smile on her face.
" Oh, It's nice to see you again! " Sakura sighed, although it seemed Rei didn't notice.
It was silent, with smiles.
" So, who's um.. This? " Rei asked looking around Sakura to see Naruto still standing behind her.
Sakura remembered Naruto and said,
" Oh. This is Naruto. Uzumaki.. " Sakura said, although she really didn't want them to meet. It had to do with the kyubbi legend. But she also didn't want them to meet for some of her own purposes.
Rei's eyes sparkled in admiration. She put a seductive smile on her face.
" It' s soo nice to meet you Naruto. I'm Rei.. Just Rei. " Rei said, somehow getting in between Sakura and Naruto, and had sort of got him to walk back into the lockers.
He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.
" Umm.. I guess it's nice to meet you too.. " Naruto opened his eyes.
Sakura then said,
" So Rei, what are you doing here? " Sakura was still trying really hard not to get mad.
Rei turned her attention back to Sakura and Naruto sighed in relief.
" Oh, I'm going to come to this school now. Did I forget to mention that? " Rei smiled, nervously.
" Uh.. Yeah, I think you did. " Sakura said, her smile so fake now.
" Opps! " Rei laughed.
Sakura fake laughed.
" Well, I have to go Sakura, I'll see you later! " Rei said as she turned the opposite direction and walked away, but before she could completely leave she said,
" Oh, see you later Naruto. " She gave a flirty laugh.
Naruto shivered as she winked at him.
When she was gone, Naruto said,
" How do you know her Sakura-Chan? "
" My dad's boss' friend. " Sakura said.
" Oh.. " Naruto said.
" Why did ya want to know..? " Sakura asked suspiciously.
Naruto froze, but then said,
" Uhh..? No reason..! "
Sakura looked at him and watched him with suspicion still in her eyes, but she shook her head and said,
" Well.. I think we should head to math. " Sakura said and Naruto nodded his head and they headed for class.
I think I'm gonna watch those two..
PE..
" So this Rei girl is new you say, Saku-Chan? " TenTen asked as they walked out on the field.
Sakura nodded her head and Hinata said,
" So, why do you care about her, being new and all? "
Sakura shook her head, but then said,
" The thing is, she knows my dad's boss. She came over that night dad's boss came over. She was really suspicious looking. And then- "
" Hey Sakura-Chan! "
Sakura looked up to see Naruto waving at her. She couldn't help but blush.
" Sakura..? " TenTen asked.
" Oh.. Um, and then today, she was sort of all over Nar- " Sakura was once again interrupted.
" Naruto! "
The girls turned around to see the new girl, Rei, running over to where Naruto was standing.
Sakura couldn't help but glare at Rei running to Naruto.
" Ooh.. Um, hey Rei. " Naruto's smile faltered.
" I didn't know you were in this class! I have P.E too, isn't that cool. " Rei said, seduction creeping into her eyes.
" Uh..? Sure. " He said, while scratching the back of his head.
Sakura was getting furious. Her fists were clenched and her knuckles were white.
" Uh, Sakura..? " TenTen asked the said girl.
Sakura looked at TenTen, and she said,
" Huh..? "
" Let me guess. She was all over Naruto..? " Her face showed everything.
" Um.. " Sakura blushed, she knew she liked Naruto, but she didn't know how to really accept it.. I hope that makes sense. But she didn't want to really let anyone else know that she liked him, more than a friend, I mean.
" That's a yeah. So, why should you care, you guys are just friends.. hehe, right?! " Hinata said, she was having a spasm.
The two other girls looked at Hinata. Sakura then shook her head and said,
" Um.. Yeah, that's all that we are.. But he and I were talking and she just.. She just, she just- " Sakura was interrupted for the third time.
" Got in the way, and interrupted your little chat.. Right Sakura..? " TenTen said, knowledge in her eyes, even though fake confinement clashed with it.
Sakura turned red in embarrassment. She shook herself out of it and scratched the back of her head, sweat forming on the side of her face.
She then said,
" Hehe.. Uh, that's not really what I meant to say.. What I meant is that.. You know, I think Mr.Gai is calling me.. I'm comi-! " Sakura was yet again interrupted.
" Sakura.. Mr.Gai is not calling you.. Fine don't tell us the truth, BUT!!! You will have to tell us eventually.. " TenTen said.
" Uh.. " Sakura sighed and then they watched Rei at it.
" So.. Naruto, how long have you lived here in Konoha..? " Rei asked unpaitionantly.
" Uhh..? I've lived here my whole life.. Why'd you want to know..? " Naruto asked, suspicion in his voice.
" Well, since I moved here.. I've noticed that very few people have lived here their whole lives. So, It came to a surprise to me, seeing that you've lived here pretty much your entire life.. That's all. I'm I not allowed to ask questions..? " Rei said, fake pain in her voice at the end.
" N-No of course, your allowed to ask questions.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.. " Naruto said, his hands waving in front of her face.
She sighed and said,
" Oh, it's fine! Thanks! " Rei then hugged Naruto and Naruto hugged her back, awkwardly, I must add..
On the other side of the field, Sakura, TenTen, and Hinata were watching intently.
Sakura was immediately the first to react to this scene that played before them.
Sakura's fists clenched once again and her face became red in anger. Her eyes were glaring daggers at the two.
TenTen just starred at the two, wondering what had happened.
Hinata's eyes went wide, and she started to quietly scream off that jealousy inside.
Rei then let Naruto go, and looked around to find the trio staring at them. Rei smirked inwardly, but then put on a very convincing smile on her face. She took a hold of Naruto's wrist and pulled him to the other side of the field where the girls were still standing.
" Ahh! Where are we goin' Rei!?? " Naruto yelled to the said girl.
" Here! " Rei laughed.
The two stopped in front of the three girls and Rei said,
" Hey Sakura! I didn't know you were in this class too?! This is great! It could just be like the trio amigos! " Rei exclaimed, bittersweetness in her voice as she laughed.
Sakura wanted to strangle the girl. She then unclenched her fists and decided to go along with the girl. She placed a fake smile on her face and said,
" Oh my gosh Rei! I didn't know either, this.. Is such a surprise.. " Sakura pulled some fake exclamation in her voice.
" I know, huh? Wow.. I didn't think you, Naruto, and me would be in any classes together! I'm so happy that we are! " Rei smiled at Sakura.
TenTen and Hinata sort of glared at Rei for ignoring them.
" Oh. Rei, these two here are my best friends, TenTen and Hinata Hyuuga. " Sakura said.
Rei looked at the other girls and gave them a look saying, Who Cares?
But she had once a gain pulled on a fake smile and said,
" It's really nice to meet you two! " She bowed.
The girls put on their fake smiles and said,
" It's very.. Cough.. Nice to meet you Rei! " Their eyes were twitching in anger, although the said girl didn't notice.
She then, once ignored the two and said,
" Anyways, Sakura I was just asking Naruto here if he had lived here his entire life. "
" Why..? " Sakura asked, suspicion written all over her face.
" Well, I just wanted to know.. " Still suspicious.
" Oh.. So, why were you.. hugging? " Sakura asked, trying to not be so obvious, but she couldn't really help it.
" Oh it was just and it's ok hug! " Rei smiled.
" Um..? " Sakura asked, clearly confused.
" Yup, exactly! " Naruto said nervously.
" Ok.. " Sakura was still suspicious of the two.
" OOOOOOWWWW!!! " The group looked at the sound to see that Lee was on the floor, his leg was stuck behind his head, and at an attempt to move it, he broke his leg. His leg got a little messed up and, lets just say that is wasn't clean..
PE class was canceled for the rest of the day..
Lunch..
" Hey Sakura.. Heard you got dumped for the new girl Rei.. Aw soo sad " Ino screeched at Sakura.
Sakura then stopped and said,
" FYI, I didn't get dumped. We're not even going out, so go shove it, Ino-bitch.. " Sakura said as she walked to her usual table.
" Why you..! " Ino said, standing up, but was pulled back down by Temari.
" She's not worth your time Ino.. " Temari was tired of their bickering battles and she just wanted this one over already.
Ino just huffed.
" Hey guys, whats up? " Sakura said, walking over to the lunch line with TenTen and Hinata.
" Not much here.. " TenTen answered.
Sakura nodded.
After
getting lunch..
The trio walked over to their usual table and sat down. They saw their usual friends were already sitting.
TenTen then said,
" Hey Neji, what you up to? " She smiled, while he just gave her a
" Hn " As a response to her question.
TenTen frowned and said,
" Fine, don't say anything! " She faced Hinata and started talking about their next class.
Neji on the other hand, was looking really gloomy when she started to ignore him.
Sakura rolled her eyes at the two that were unable to see that they were madly in love with each other.
Sakura then turned to her other friend,
" Hey Gaara, how was your day? " Sakura asked smiling.
" Hn.. Why do you care? " His eyes showing that he was bored out of his mind.
Sakura frowned and then said,
" Well.. I just wanted to see if you had a good day.. That's all.. " Sakura said, forcing herself to seem that she was hurt by his response. She then seemed to cry out things and say,
" What did I do to Gaara that made him hate me? I should just go emo like Sasuke and cut myself! My world is going to crash down! Oh- "
" Shh! Sakura, Shh! Be quiet, ok.. What can I do to shut you up?!?!?? " Gaara said panicking.
Gaara was getting panicky.' Why?' You ask? Well, the last time Sakura had said this for the world to hear, Naruto had come out of no where, and started to beat the shit out a' him. So, lets just say Gaara didn't want that to happen again, k?
Sakura smirked, knowing that would crack him..
She then stopped crying and said,
" Can I have that cookie of yours then..? "
Gaara looked down at his cookie and felt his heart crack in half. He loved his cookie, and he didn't want to part with it. Gaara then imagined, Himself running in a field and the cookie was running to him. The fell in each other's arms as the sun had set..
Gaara cried, but picked up his precious cookie and gave it to Sakura. Sakura smiled and said,
" Thanks Gaara ! " While Gaara just anime cried in his land of despair.
" Hmm..? What's goin' on..? " A boy with pineapple shaped hair said sitting up from his nap. This was Shikamaru Nara. Oh wait, I forgot to tell you all that are sitting here at the table, didn't I? Opps! Sorry!
Besides Sakura, Hinata, and TenTen, six other people sat there. It was just those girls, and 6 other guys. It's weirdly unbalanced. Anyways, Neji, Gaara, Shikamaru, Kiba, Naruto, and to Sakura's dislike, Sasuke, sat there with them as well. Kiba just started sitting with them last week, cuz he and Hinata had become better friends during an assignment, and she invited him to sit with them. So it was 9 people at the table pretty much.
Shikamaru noticed that he was still in the cafeteria, and saw Gaara crying in his own little world.
" Troublesome.. " Shikamaru muttered under his breath.
" Hey whats up party people! " Kiba yelled behind Shikamaru, nearly killing him in the process.
" Arghh! " Shikamaru yelped and saw that it had been Kiba.
" Hehe.. Did I scare ya Shika? " Kiba said with a toothy grin.
" Troublesome.. " Shikamaru said, with a tinge of pink on his cheeks from embarrassment.
Sakura giggled at the sight that had happened before her.
" So, Sakura..? Hinata and me were just talking, and I had a brilliant idea! " TenTen exclaimed happily.
" Hmm..? What? " Sakura asked curiously.
" Hey everyone! " Sakura turned to see that it was Naruto that had spoken.
Sakura still being mad at Naruto for hugging Rei ignored him.
" Hn.. " Sasuke said, sitting next to Neji and ignoring the dobe.
" Sakura-Chan..? " Naruto asked, with confinement.
Sakura ignored him.
" Sakura, did I do something wrong..? " Naruto asked.
" Oh yeah, since when does Naruto not do anything right..? " Sasuke couldn't help but put that point out.
" Shut it, teme.. " Naruto glared at Sasuke.
" Sakura..? " Naruto asked questioningly.
Sakura knew that he didn't really know what he did wrong so she said,
" No.. You didn't do anything wrong Naruto.. "
Naruto smiled and said,
" Oh.. That's good.. I thought I did something.. "
" Anyways.. TenTen, what were you saying? " Sakura said.
" Oh I was saying, maybe we should have a sleepover.. Just the three of us! " TenTen exclaimed.
Sakura smiled and said,
" That's a great idea Ten-Chan! " Sakura hugged her.
Then Sakura let go of her and said,
" At who's house..? " TenTen then said,
" Well, It can't be at my house cuz my apartment is way too small.. " TenTen sighed.
" And it can't be at my house cuz' my dad is way too strict to let me do anything at our house.. " Hinata said and shrugged.
The three girls sighed and then TenTen and Hinata looked at Sakura.
" What..? " Sakura asked confused.
" Well.. You have a house don't you..? " TenTen asked.
Sakura thought of what she was asking.
It clicked.
" My house..? " Sakura asked.
" Yeah.. " TenTen smiled.
" Umm..? " Sakura thought about it.
" Come on Sakura.. We haven't had a sleepover yet! Your the only one that could hold it! Please, Saku-chan..? " TenTen asked, using puppy-dog eyes.
Sakura rolled her eyes and sighed.
" Ok fine.. " Sakura said.
The other two girls exclaimed.
" Yes! "
" I think my dad will let me, but the only real problem is Caira.. " Sakura loathed saying her step-mom's name.
" Who's Caira..? " Hinata asked.
" She's my evil step-mother.. " Sakura said.
" What happened to your real mother..? " Naruto asked.
Sakura then looked down at her feet. She really didn't want to talk about it.
Naruto saw the look of dispair on Sakura's face and gasped,
" Oh Sakura-Chan.. I'm sorry, I didn't meant to hurt you.. " He said.
Sakura gave him a small smile and said,
" It's ok Naruto.. You didn't know.. "
" She died of cancer.. 5 years ago. Dad got married to Caira last year.. " Sakura said.
" Oh.. I'm so sorry Sakura.. " Naruto said.
" It's ok, really.. "
She then decided to put it out of her head and said,
" Anyways.. Caira can be such a bitch, I don't know if she'll let me have it. So, I guess it's up to dad.. " Sakura smiled.
The girls nodded and said,
" When should we have it..? "
Sakura thought about it.
" Well.. I don't think we have any plans this Friday. So.. Maybe..? "
" Friday it is! " TenTen exclaimed hugging Sakura.
" Ok.. Here's my address..Write it down "
" It's 1616 Sakura St. " The girls looked at her weirdly.
" What?! It is..! " Sakura exclaimed. The two shook it off and finished writing Sakura's address down.
" Ok, well I think I better get to my next class.. " Sakura said as she stood up.
They nodded and they too departed.
Once the girls had all left, Naruto said,
" Hey guys..? ''
All 5 other guys looked at Naruto confused.
Naruto smirked and said,
" Do you want to crash their sleepover..? ''
The guys all smirked at his question and Naruto knew that, that Friday they would be crashing Sakura's sleepover at her house.
Naruto smirked at them before getting up and walking to his next class.
Afterschool..
" Hey Naruto! Do you want to walk me to my car? " Sakura said as she walked up to Naruto with a smile.
Naruto gave her a guilty look and said,
" Um.. Sorry Sakura-Chan.. I promised Rei that I would help her with our science project today.. I'm sorry.. " Naruto said with a pained expression on his face.
" O-ohh.. " Sakura said, a hint of pain in her voice.
" Naruto-Kun! " Sakura looked around Naruto to see Rei running to him. Sakura felt very envious to the girl, because she would get to work with him. Sakura was still a little hurt that Naruto had kind of chosen to help Rei instead of her.
Naruto turned too and asked,
" Oh hey Rei.. Ready to go? "
Rei nodded and pulled on his arm to follow her. She saw Sakura and smirked inwardly again, and said,
" Later Sakura.. Naruto and I have to go! "
Naruto looked back at Sakura as they ran, and saw that she was frowning, and her face showed that she was hurt.
Naruto sighed as they ran.
With that they were gone.
Sakura couldn't help but feel betrayed.. But she slowly made her way out to the schools parking lot, and went home.
Somewhere Unknown..
There was a small knock on the wooden door.
" Come In " The man said.
The door slowly opened.
" Oh it's you. "
" Yes. " The girl spoke.
" Did you manage to find the boy? " The man spoke.
" Yes, Oroachimaru-Sama.. "
A smirk crawled onto his face and he said,
" Excellent. "
" Oroachimaru-Sama..? '' The girl asked
" Yes-s " He sneered.
" What is the next move? " The girl asked.
The man was still smirking.
" You mean, we should still go on with the previous plan? " The girl questioned.
" Yes-s.. Please do.. "
The girl nodded her head and said,
" Yes Sir. "
" Don't worry Rei.. Everything will work out.. " Oroachimaru said.
The girl nodded her head.
" You're dismissed. "
" Hai!" She yelled as she disappeared in thin air.
