Hi everyone! As you can see, I have a broken hand so that is why I took so long.
Neji: Let me guess you broke your hand from playing football with your brother and friends?
Yeah, how did you know?
Neji: I can tell by seeing in your eyes.
I bet that's a lie.
Neji: Fine we were watching you playing.
What do you mean by we?
Neji: Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, Sai, Gaara, Kiba, and me.
You guys were stocking me?!
Neji: No, we were going to Sakura's house to have some kind of party, then we walk by and saw you playing. So we stay and watch what you were doing.
You guys are Stockers!
Neji: I alre-
Just do the disclaimer you stocker.
Neji: -Glares- She does not own Naruto.
Chapter 12: Memories and treasures
Sai ran after Sakura, but she ran faster and a few minutes he lost her trail. Sai stopped and looked around the city.
"Damn it Sakura, where are you?" mutter Sai.
Sakura ran as fast as she could, but when she didn't hear Sai's footsteps, she stopped her trail and went in an alley. Just incase if they see her. Sakura lean her back against the wall and pant from running. Then a few seconds, tears roll down her eyes and was still thinking of her past. She remembers why the break wasn't working because some kid from her class took it out. Every time someone pranks her she'll never forgive them because that will bring her bad memories of that day. Sakura looks up in the sky, it was getting dark. So she hugs her knees because it was getting a little cold.
"Why did you guys have to go," She questions herself as if she was talking to her parents in the sky. Then she took out a charm necklace that is a small, solid Sakura flower. Her parents gave her that when it was her 8 year old birthday. Sakura smiled at it and more tears fallen out of her eyes.
Flashback
"Hey Sakura, your mom and I have something to give you," said Sakura's dad. As he gave her a small box.
"What is it?" asked Sakura.
"Open it and find out," said her father. Sakura opened the little box with stunned in her eyes. Then Sakura held it up. It was a Sakura flower, she stare at it with amazement.
"It's a charm and the flower is called Sakura. Remember Sakura keep it safe and held it long to give it to your child when you grow up," her dad smiled at her. Sakura smiled back and nodded.
"That's my girl," her dad patted her head.
Flashback end
Then Sakura stood up from her spot and realize she was wasting time, she was about to walk out the alley to go to Hinata's house.
Sasuke then found her walking in an alley, "I found you Sakura," Then Sasuke grabbed her around the waist. Sakura gasp and struggle from his arms, but what she didn't know was that when she struggle, her charm fell off of her and landed on the ground. Then Sai show up and was about to help Sasuke, when he saw the charm on the floor.
"What's this?" Sai picked up and then Sakura froze when she saw Sai holding her charm.
"No! Give it back!" Sakura yelled. Then she started to struggle again.
"Sakura calm down or you'll never get it back," yelled Sasuke. With that Sakura stopped struggling. Then Sasuke let go of her and she landed on the floor with her knees. Then tears started to fall out of her eyes. She closes her eyes for preventing to stop crying, but it was no use. Then she hears footsteps coming towards her. She looked and saw Sai handing her charm back. She snatches it out of his hands, held it close to her and smiled.
"I got you back," said Sakura. With that she fell backward and was about to hit the ground when Sasuke caught her. Then Sasuke stood up and held Sakura bridal style.
"Let's get her back to the mansion," said Sasuke. Sai nodded.
At the mansion
Sakura is sleeping in the bedroom and dreaming about the good times she and her parents had.
In Sakura's dream
"Daddy why do you have to leave?" Sakura was crying, while her dad tries to comfort her.
"Don't worry sweetie, I'll be back soon," said her dad with a smiled.
"B-but I don't want you to leave," protest Sakura.
"Sakura, I won't leave you as long as you have that charm with you, I'll always be with you, and if I don't come back, I'll be right here," he pointed at her chest.
"My chest?" said Sakura. Her dad chuckled.
"No, I met your heart," With that Sakura wiped her tears away and smiled at her dad. Then her dad pats her head and took his backpack.
"I'll see you soon," said Sakura's dad. With that he kisses her cheek goodbye.
Living room
"Saucy, I think we should call her friend now," said Sai while sitting on the couch. Sasuke nodded and pick up his cell phone to dial Hinata.
Hinata was in the guest room with Naruto talking about ramen. Well, Naruto does the talking. Then her cell phone rang and she picks it up.
"Hello, Hinata speaking," answer Hinata.
"Hinata, this is Sasuke," then Hinata had a frown on her face.
"Well, Sasuke-san why did you call me for?" she said harshly.
"Look Hinata, this is not the time to argue and I'm sorry what we did to Sakura, but she ran off to the city," Hinata's eyes widen and were worried right now. When Naruto saw this and he gave Hinata a worry look.
"Did you find her? Is she ok?" said Hinata worriedly.
Yes we found her and she's ok, but you need to come over now," said Sasuke.
"Ok Sasuke-san I'll be right there," then they both hung up. Hinata sigh and then turn to face Naruto.
"Hinata, is it about Sakura?" said Naruto. Hinata nodded.
"Naruto-kun, I need to go to Sakura-chan's house and see if she's ok," said Hinata.
"I understand and while you're leaving can you hand me Kyubi?" Kyubi is Naruto's stuff animal and he found out that Hinata has a stuff bunny. So they have one common thing about it. They kept it a secret, but Sakura already knew and kept it a secret too. (Squeal from one of the fanfic!)
"Sure Naruto-kun," with that Hinata handed him his stuff fox and left.
At Sakura's mansion
Hinata was sitting one of Sakura's chairs and waited for Sasuke or Sai's question.
"Hinata, why did Sakura cry in just one prank and why did she run away?" ask Sasuke.
"Because…" Hinata hesitated. While Sasuke and Sai waited for her answer.
"Because when she was young, she had kids pulling pranks on her and then a kid who likes to prank her is the one that killed her parents by breaking her parent's break in the car," Hinata started to burst in tears, "It was so sad and it was hard for her to forget that. So every time someone pulls a prank on her, it brings back memories about it." The Hinata wipes her tears away.
"How long have you've been friends with her?" ask Sai.
"Since we were 7, but the car crash started when she was 9," said Hinata.
"One more thing, the Sakura charm she have, why is it important to her?" said Sasuke. Then Hinata head went down and hide herself under her bangs.
"That's the only thing that Sakura have left for her parents," explain Hinata, "When she was little, her parents gave it to her and they say as long as she has it they always be there for her and if she losses it she'll never forgive herself." Then Hinata looked up to them.
"Can I see her please?" ask Hinata. Both Sasuke and Sai nodded. All three of them went to Sakura's room. When they went in there they saw Sakura's awake and she was looking outside.
"Sakura-chan," said Hinata. Sakura turned around with a smiled.
"Hi Hina-chan," said Sakura.
Done!
Neji: Well, that took long.
Oh shut up Neji. Also before we leave… WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!
Neji: Why would you say that?
Duh Neji, It's Friday the thirteenth, the bad luck day.
Neji: That's just a super stition.
Oh yea, then why is my hand broken?
Neji: That was 2 days ago. 'A bird flew by and pooped on Neji's head'

Neji: 'Glares at me, took a towel, and wipes the poop off his head' Oh shut up!

Neji: Never! 'A bag of flours landed on him and he falls on the ground' O.O

Neji: A little… 'Stands up and then green goo landed on him'

Neji: Ok I admitted that it is bad luck… Wait a sec. this looks like one of the chapter that Ino pranks Sasuke and Sai. 'Looks up and saw Naruto, Sasuke, Sai, and Kiba holding a bucket of green goo and a bag of flours'
Naruto, Sasuke, Sai, and Kiba: 'snickers at Neji and gives me two thumbs each.'
'Give them two thumbs up'
Neji: JENNY, NARUTO, SASUKE, SAI, AND KIBA WAIT TILL I'LL GET MY REVENGE! 'Storms off to the bathroom'

"Hey, you bitch stay away from my Neji-kun, he is my boyfriend and mine only!"
"Why haven't I noticed her before?"
