Izzy: Today, we have a very Special guest here to do my Disclaimer, Freaky Fish Guy from Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series! YAY!
Freaky Fish Guy: I AM NOT A FREAKY FISH GUY! My name is Mako Tsunami, and I am married to the ocean!
Izzy: Yeah... You're not weird in any way possible... *Cough, Yes You Are, Cough* Just do the Disclaimer already.
Freaky Fish Guy: Issy111 does NOT own Naruto. Happy?
Izzy: Yes. And if I'm happy, the ocean is happy.
Freaky Fish Guy: This is good! When Issy111 is happy, the ocean is happy, and when the ocean is happy, I don't harpoon people!
Izzy: Oh Yeah? What about my cat? Why is there a harpoon in it?
Freaky Fish Guy: Umm...
"Please, introduce yourselves." Gaara invited. The line broke and chatter filled the room. The Kazekage left, Sakura knew from her childhood days that he hated loud noises and preferred quiet. As she watched him go, a hand rested on her shoulder. Sakura, completely caught off guard, reflexively took the persons hand and launched him across the room, hitting the wall. The room got quiet. Sakura gasped and rushed over, her chakra already focusing in her hand, ready to heal. But laughter filled the room.
"Did you see that? She completely just rocketed Naruto across the room!" a boyish voice laughed.
"Whoa! You've got monster-strength!" The blond, blue-eyed boy in an orange and black jumpsuit exclaimed when he leaped up, off of the floor. Sakura let out a sigh of relief. He didn't seem hurt at all. Temari walked over and smiled at her, as if approving. Sakura didn't know why she nodded like that, though. She shrugged and smiled, as if she had done something good.
"I like this girl. Anyone who throws Naruto across the room without thinking is a friend of mine!" the girl in purple clothes and the high ponytail said from behind Sakura. Sakura turned around and was facing three girls, the quiet gray-eyed one, the high ponytailed girl, and the girl with the buns.
"Ino's the name. This is Hinata, she's the quiet one, and Tenten, the hyper-active, sporty one." Ino introduced quickly.
"Hey, I'm Temari, and this is my best friend since forever, Sakura." Temari said, pointing at me. Naruto, the poor soul I flung across the room, came over to us, along with the rest of the gang.
"I'm Naruto! I'm going to be the Hokage!" he yelled with determination, "You've got amazing strength! I can see why the Kazekage chose you to come along on this mission! Then again, he could just think you're cute." Naruto winked at a blushing Sakura. Ino punched him, causing him to cry out in pain. Feeling the odd urge to show off, Sakura quickly focused her chakra in her hand and healed the forming bruise on Naruto's arm.
"Whoa! You're a medic-nin! That's just like hokage, Tsunade!" Ino sighed.
"Can we get on with the introductions already? We didn't come all the way to Suna to tell random girls the story of our village." She rolled her eyes. Naruto just shrugged in response.
"I'm Kiba, and this is my dog and best friend, Akamaru!" the boy with the upside-down arrows on his face started, patting the large dog.
"I'm Shikamaru, the brains." Pineapple-head said lazily.
"Neji Hyuuga." The gray-eyed boy continued, obviously a man of few words.
"My name is Sai." The shirt-too-short boy formally said, emotionless.
"I am Rock Lee! And I will protect you with my life, Sakura!" Everyone sweatdropped. Sakura gaped at the bowl-haired, huge eyebrowed, boy in a jumpsuit, smiling happily. Ino sighed her biggest sigh since Sakura had met her and knocked Rock Lee out with a nearby stick.
"Sorry. He's an… odd one." Ino apologized with exasperation. Sakura nodded, completely understanding. As a child, Gaara had been once considered, an odd child, but on a totally different level.
"The name is Shino. I have the power to control bugs." The boy in a large coat and sunglasses went on, as if no one had just been knocked out.
"I'm Choji, I like to eat and my best friend is Shikamaru." The large boy in red finished.
"And for those of you who don't know yet, I'm Kankuro and the pants in my three-way relationship with my sand siblings." Temari whacked him into the floor as everyone laughed.
"Call me Temari, I have a huge fan. So don't mess with me." She threatened. Pineapple-head, Shikamaru, stepped forward.
"And what if I do? Why should I be afraid of a fan?" he ventured, eyebrows raised. Sakura stepped back, making sure there would be enough room for the huge fan Temari pulled off her back. It stood taller than her and when it was extended, it was longer than two of Temari's arms combined. Shikamaru studied the huge weapon for a minute or two, then nodded approvingly.
"A fan this large, with enough strength, could wipe out a small forest." He stated, like the apparent brain he was. Everyone but Kankuro and Sakura stepped back, afraid Temari would snap at any moment and kill them all. Sakura looked at the Konaha ninjas with amusement. They didn't know that Temari had self-control, unlike the vicious girl they pictured her as. She smiled happily, for she knew everyone's name now. But when she caught sight of the boy with the fan symbol on his back, she realized that she didn't know his. Ino followed Sakura's gazed and then sighed dreamily, unlike all the other sighs she had been releasing all day.
"He's a hottie, I know." She stared at the boy as well. Then, she snapped back into reality and it seemed like a little bulb in her head went off.
"He didn't introduce himself! The nerve of the Uchiha bastard!" Ino marched over to him and it looked like she was yelling at him. Then he shrugged and Ino yelled at everyone else.
"Hey, wait a second! We have one boy who didn't introduce himself!" Everyone turned towards the loud mouth that had just interrupted their conversations. Ino glared at the boy.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. Happy now, you cow?" he said carelessly. All of the teens from Konaha gasped. Sakura, Kankuro, and Temari looked at each other in confusion. They called each other names all the time, what was wrong with this boy calling Ino a name? Sakura glanced at Ino and could almost see steam coming out of her ears. Hinata and Tenten rushed over to her and attempted to calm her down. Naruto ran up to Sasuke and started angrily yelling at him, saying things like "Do you WANT to die?" and "Do you have some room in that genius brain of yours for thinking before doing?" Sasuke, completely unfazed by these comments, looked Naruto right in the eyes, and Sakura saw, for the first time, his red, Sharigan eyes. But Sasuke seemed to be looking past Naruto, to Sakura.
Wow, she's so… No! Snap out of it Sasuke! You can't fall that easily! Imagine what Father would say!
Wow, Sasuke! You finally found a girl who can keep the Uchiha Clan going!
Sasuke shook the image of him and the pink haired-girl living together in Konaha.
Damn, I didn't catch her name. I don't want to ask someone or they'll get the wrong idea…
Sakura nervously looked down.
Omg, he's looking right at me! What do I do? What do I DO?
You go over and flirt like the happy little playgirl you are!
What? No way! That would be really awkward if he didn't like me!
I never said he had to! Maybe if you turn up the sexiness level, he will…
What the…No! Go AWAY, Inner Sakura!
Sakura sighed and left the room, needing time alone for some reason. Temari watched her go, worriedly looking at Kankuro, who shook his head, letting Sakura handle things on her own, whatever she had to do. Sasuke, whose curiosity was getting the best of him, wandered out, following the girl whose name was not known to him. He stopped, and listened, trying to pinpoint the sound of her feet, which would lead her to him.
Step, Step, Step, Step.
There she is! Sasuke rushed around the corner, waiting for her, hearing her footsteps become louder and louder, the closer she got. Her foot came into view and Sasuke grabbed her wrist, pulled her to him and leaned down, melting his lips into hers.
