Don't own Naruto
Don't own Naruto
"Wow I can't believe how many people are here."
"S…sure is alo…lot of p…p…people."
"Well you can't go back now so deal with it."
Ino stared down Hinata, as the all the rookie nine stood in a small group. A guy with silver hair pulled in a pony tail, came over and started talking the rookie nine. He mentioned something about special cards and said he had information on almost everyone in there. Of course Sasuke took this to his advantage. He asked about Neji, Rock Lee, and Gaara.
But it's not like Sakura really cared. She was looking at her surroundings, trying to remember people's faces. She wanted to see what her team was up against.
She was distracted when she saw Naruto stand up and scream at everybody in the room.
"Hey! My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm going to beat every one of you bastereds!!"
The rookie nine stopped and glared at Naruto for bringing attention to himself and the ones around him. Ino jumped off Sasuke and turned to Sakura who was standing far away from Sasuke, much to everybody's surprise. "Hey forhead girl!"
Ino called out to Sakura. Sakura responded to the distasteful name. "WHAT?"
Ino flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder. "Tell your boyfriend to shut up and stop being an idiot. He is embarrassing me and Sasuke."
Why that little…
"It's SASUKE AND I bitch, so learn to fucking speak." A new voice entered the conversation and Sakura turned her head to the voice as Ino glared at the person who would talk to her that way.
"Michiko!" the beautiful teenager jumped on Sakura's back just the way Ino had done to Sasuke and squeezed her tight. "Sakura! Oh I missed you. I was hoping I would get to see you and I am so happy my wish came true and likes oh my god you are so cute!" She squeezed her and shook her the whole time she was speaking acting like Sakura was a teddy bear.
Can't…breathe…help!
"Chiko let her go. She can't breathe." She dropped her than turned around to the person who ordered her to do so.
"Hikaru you're so mean!" she exclaimed.
Sakura, who was trying to breathing in order, glanced up at the blond hair punk and tried talking.
"Hikaru cough you're cough here cough why? Cough cough." Said boy smiled and extended his hand out for her to take. She took it and used it for support to lift her self up.
"Sakura-chan!!" Naruto came running over to them, dragging Sasuke with him, and the rest of the rookies behind them. He came to a full stop in front of her and let go of Sasuke only to push him near Sakura, who he almost crashed heads into if he hadn't of last minute grabbed her shoulder for balance.
Sakura stiffened as Sasuke looked her straight in the eye. Feeling the tension of the body under his hand he removed him self from her and muttered about how much a dope Naruto was. Sakura sighed and tried to ignore the heat from where he had touched her. Her shoulder felt very hot.
"Oi who are you guys?" Shikamaru asked.
Both teenagers gave them a bored expression and yawned. "Us?" Michiko called out.
"Yes you two. The ones standing next to Sakura!" Kiba growled. She narrowed her eyes at him. "And how do you know Sakura-chan?!" she growled at him.
He was taken back by the animosity in her voice as every one thought the same thing.
Sakura-chan?
"We were all in the same class together in the academy. Now you the hell are you guys?!" Ino hissed still not forgetting that this girl called her a bitch.
Hikaru smirked, still holding Sakura's hand by the way, introduced him self.
"My name is Hikaru." "Got a last name?" Shikamaru asked. "Yes, but one you don't need to know." He answered smoothly.
"My name is Michiko and I'm not going to give you guys my last name either."
Sakura smiled at her two friends and let out a little giggle. They could be so mean sometimes.
Sasuke watched her and let out sigh. Ever since the accident in the hallway she had been silent and didn't look in his direction. When Ino had jumped on him and practically called him 'her' Sasuke-kun she didn't respond or spare him a glance. He for love of Kami could not figure out why he had done what he did. And what he almost did.
The only excuse he could come up with was 'Hormones' cause him to do that. Just like the night when he woke up 'hard' and 'horny' he blamed hormones. At least that was the terms the book had called them, when he had done research the next morning trying to figure out what was wrong with him. The book had said it was normal for a male's body to act this way when they are attracted to a girl and a male had "Two Heads" whatever that meant.
But this made no sense to him because there was no way he was attracted to his annoying pink haired teammate right?
He focused his attention on her and let his eyes scanned over her. Small petite body, smooth creamy skin with no blemishes anywhere and sight, long healthy pink hair, a button nose, luscious pink lips, perfect thin eyebrows, and wide emerald eyes which sometimes on several occasions changes to wolf like silver. She wasn't too tall or to short, but she seemed a little on the thin size. He glanced over her one more time and concluded that yes she was very cute and that maybe he was attracted to her.
"Oi! Why are you holding Sakura-chan's hand?!"
Naruto's statement turned everyone's head towards Sakura's hand connected to Hikarus.
Bewilderment passed over the Genins faces and then fury for some others.
Sasuke and Naruto glared at Hikaru as Ino glared at Sakura. Sakura just looked at Hikaru pleading with her eyes not to say anything. Either Hikaru didn't get the message or he didn't care because he started swinging their hands back and forth like they were little kids. Sakura bet her life it was the latter.
Hikaru gave a foxish grin; one that could beat Naruto's and started speaking.
"What's wrong with holding my Sakura-Chan's hand?" emphasizing the "my" in the question.
People gasped, Michiko giggled, Sasuke glared, Naruto growled, Ino hissed, Sakura sighed, and Hikaru smirked.
"You're Sakura-Chan? Sakura-Chan belongs to NO ONE!! Tell him Sakura-chan TELL HIM!!" Naruto yelled
"Yeah Forehead! He's kidding right! There's no way you could ever get a boyfriend!" Ino screeched.
Michiko took a menacing step towards Ino before Kiba spoke.
"Wow, you have a boyfriend? And here I thought you were a Sasuke fan girl huh?! What happened? Did you actually get to know him while being teamed up with him and realized he wasn't all that?"
Always leave it to Kiba to crack a joke that directed at someone when they are in the room.
Sasuke move his glare to Kiba but Ino was the one to respond first.
"HEY leave Sasuke-kun alone! There is nothing wrong with him! You are just jealous you aren't as cool or as strong as him!"
The dog on top of his head snarled and Kiba narrowed his eyes. "What did you say Blondie? I'm just as strong as him and who cares about being cool? I'm cool in my own way! So shut up you fan girl!!"
After the fan girl remark that started insults being thrown back and forth between Ino and Kiba. Everybody in the room was watching. Some amused, others annoyed and the ones surrounding the two embarrassed.
Sakura shook her head and realized they were getting more attention then wanted all because Hikaru was holding her hand. Still is actually. He continued to swing her hand back and forth with his as he watched the clash with the two.
It wasn't till Shikamaru pulled Ino away and told her that everybody was watching her did they stop. She then turned her attention to Sakura.
Sakura tried to look at her but was to busy trying not to laugh at the way Hikaru continuously swung their whole arms now in front of Naruto's face.
"Forehead?!"
"Yes?" she answered calmly
"…Is he really you're boyfriend?" Sakura had everyone's attention now.
Hikaru stop swinging their arms.
Silence.
Hikaru looked down at her and she looked into his violet eyes. They seemed to be having a mental conversation because next moment they both broke out laughing. Michiko giggling right along with them.
When Sakura was a little bit stable she began to talk.
"Hikaru is my friend…he is not my…boyfriend."
"I'm her really good friend. We both are me and Michiko."
"IT'S Michiko and I!"
"Whatever grammar freak."
"Bonehead!"
"Banshee!"
"Moron."
"Dill doe!"
"Thick-headed hick!"
"Hick? Ha ha I like that Chiko!"
"Thank you Sakura I try my best."
"Hey you can't take her side!"
"She didn't baka! She just knows who the best is."
"Ain't you! It's me!"
"Ain't isn't a word! See what I mean? I'm smarter than you."
"Bullshit."
"Why you little…"
"Michiko. Hikaru. Stop." A new voice joined the conversation.
Naruto groaned and Sasuke glared. (Sasuke just can't seem to stop glaring in this chapter can he? Lol)
Sakura smiled and stared at the orange haired boy.
"Kino!"
"Yo my brother from another mother!"
"Kun Kun!"
Kino chuckled at Hikaru's and Michiko's hello. He then smirked at Naruto and Sasuke.
"Naruto. Sasuke."
"Bigger Sasuke!"
"Hn."
"Bigger Sasuke?" Hinata asked.
Leave it up to her to be the only one who cares what Naruto says. HOLT SHIT! She said two words without stuttering; the eclipse happening? Now now friend eclipse's only happen when pigs fly remember? Ino can fly?
"Sakura are you talking to you're self?" Kino teased.
She gave him a goofy smile. "Yep. Eclipses and pigs Kino, eclipses and pigs."
He smiled then frowned when some movement caught his attention to the intertwined fingers of her and Hikaru.
"Hikaru."
"Yeah dude?"
"Why are you holding Sakura's hand?"
"Cause her hand is soft and I like her."
Kino narrowed his eyes and almost growled out his next words.
"Remove your self from her NOW!"
"Okay I got it, don't have to be a bitch about it." Even though he said his words casually he still let go of her hand quickly and put his own into his pocket.
Kino walked over to Sakura and pecked her on the cheek, which everyone gasped, including Sasuke who let out a little hiss. Ino was practically drooling at Kino and glaring at Sakura all at once. Michiko grabbed a tissue out of now where, how does she do that? I don't know but I want to learn, and wiped Ino's chin.
"You're drooling honey." She teased. Ino recovered from her fantasy dream and looked Kino up down like a piece of meat while battering her eyelashes.
"Well Sakura…is another one of you're friends?" She asked, flirtation dripping from her tone. Sakura rolled her eyes at the pig.
Kino answered her. "No."
Ino's eyes widen, and then she smiled. Sakura narrowed her eyes at Kino. She was about to say something when Shikamaru beat her to it.
"If you're not one of Sakura's friends then who are you?" His eyes scanning over the silver eyed shinobi.
"Kino, Cross Kino."
"Wow we actually got a last name this time." Kiba snorted. "Since we know you're name why don't you tell us what you want."
Kino gave them a confused yet hidden amusement look. "What do you mean? I am here for the Chuunin's exam, the same reason you're here right?"
"Yeah well what he means is why you are over here?" Ino inquired.
He gave her an award winning smile which had her blushing like crazy. "I'm over here to pick up my teammates: they left me all by myself without even telling me where they went." He said looking at Michiko and Hikaru the whole time. They both gave him a sheepish grin.
"Well we wanted to say hi to Sakura before you saw her." Michiko rubbed the back of her head.
"Why?"
"Cause we know how you get when you see saw Sakura-Chan." Hikaru retorted.
"How do you get when you see Sakura-Chan?" Naruto questioned.
"I thought you said you weren't friends with Sakura." Shikamaru said.
"I'm not her friend."
"Then who are you?" Kiba asked
"I already told you I'm Kino…" He was interrupted by Kiba shouting.
"YOU ALREADY SAID THAT!"
"Then what are you asking me?"
"What are you to her." It wasn't really a question but more a demand and it wasn't from Shikamaru or Kiba.
Sakura looked into the direction of the voice and was slightly startled to see Sasuke's red eyes staring heatedly into hers.
He repeated the question again never taking his eyes away from hers.
"What are you to her?"
Kino frowned and said "Me? To Sakura?"
He tore his eyes away from hers and glared at him, growling out his reply.
"Yes. What. Are. You. To. Sakura?"
Everyone was startled by this angry Sasuke, never really seeing show emotions before. Everyone but Sakura, Hikaru, Michiko( they haven't met Sasuke till now.),Naruto and Kino.
A part of Sakura wished to know what the hell Sasuke was thinking and a small little piece was slightly flattered by the jealousy he was showing. Slightly? Shut up!
Knowing Kino as long as she did, which wasn't very long, she knew his response was either going to get them kicked out of the exams or have Sasuke wanting revenge.
"Well isn't it obvious?" He started by wrapping his arms around her waist and then slowly lean her back against his chest all while Sasuke's and everyone else eyes widen.
"I'm" he nuzzled her cheek "her" gave it a peck, then buried his head right between her shoulder and neck. He kissed her neck, which caused Sakura to gasp and Sasuke to hiss. The last word he said he looked Sasuke right in the eyes getting ready to send Sasuke a clear message.

Oh yeah. This was going to be fun. Sakura just knew it.
Kakashi looked around the room trying to find a place to sit that wasn't covered in dust or clothes. Instead he just leaned against the wall waiting for the man sitting across from him to speak.
The man sat hunched over his chair as if he had been working all day and was tired. Kakashi knew he did nothing all day or any day in the last years.
"So…" the mans voice sound croaky like he hadn't used it in along time which was probably true considering nobody talked to him in awhile.
"…what do I owe you for this visit Kakashi?"
Kakashi took his uncovered eye away from the book to answer the man.
"I was just curious to how you were holding up. It's been awhile since we last saw each other. Thought we could catch up for a bit while my students are taking the Chuunin exams."
The other man chuckled. "You students? That has to be a joke. Last time I checked you never take students."
Kakashi chuckled right along. "Well let's say I was surprise myself at how talented they can be at times the three of them."
"Talented huh? Well they must be something special for you to be their sensei."
"They are very…special indeed. One might say a little too special."
The man laughed and spoke again this time his voice sounding way better than before.
"Really Kakashi insulting them when they aren't around how cruel. I never thought the day would come when you would become a sensei to three little brats. So what are they like?"
This was the part Kakashi was wishing would and wouldn't come up. He didn't want to do this but he really had too.
"There is Sasuke who is a very talented shinobi." "How talented?" he interrupted him.
"He is an Uchiha." "Oh…I see. He will go far if he doesn't let the darkness consume him first. So sad."
"Yes…Sasuke is…he is just Sasuke, that's all I can say for now."
"For now…well let's move on shall we? Next student…"
Kakashi was secretly thankful the man had an eye for when to change or avoid a subject because he was feeling uncomfortable talking about Sasuke and his future.
"Naruto is my other student. Uzamaki, Naruto." "The kid with the nine tails fox in him?" Once again interrupted Kakashi could only smile underneath his mask. Something never change, even now talking to the other man Kakashi could feel the memories creeping into his minds. When they were younger he uses to never let Kakashi finish a story without interrupting him a hundred times. Plus he said "The kid with the nine tails fox in him" instead of calling Naruto the nine tails fox. This man was a good kind hearted man who did not deserve this hell that he was in.
"Yes that is Naruto. He is quite the joker. He is very unpredictable and is a little bit lacking in the mental area."
He laughed. "Really Kakashi that is the exact same as calling him slow."
"No it's not. I am simply saying Naruto is…he is…Naruto is Naruto."
"Are you going to say that for all you're students Kakashi?"
"Maybe…"
"You know you said the exact same thing to Yuki about me?"
"Did I? I don't recall."
"Yeah I'm sure you don't. But I proved you wrong now didn't I?"
"The difference is you were acting dumb, Naruto really can't help it."
"SEE! See I told you!"
"Hmm…if you say so…"
"Nice save Kakashi."
"How have you been doing?"
The other man narrowed his eyes. "I'm doing fine."
"Just fine?"
"You know how I'm really doing so why bother asking?"
"Just want to see if anything is different that's all."
"No nothing has changed as you can see. I'm still here aren't I? They don't come to see me and I don't go to them."
"I see…"
Silence filled the room for a few minutes till the man spoke.
"You never finished."
Kakashi's eye brow rose. "Finish what?"
"You're students. You never finished. You have three but you only mentioned two."
Kakashi stayed quiet for a few moments trying to gather his thoughts on what to say.
Finally he spoke. "She is very intelligent. She scored very high on her written part of her test."
"A girl? Nice…how is interaction with the boys?"
"With Naruto she can be very forceful. She thinks he is annoying and is always hitting him for interrupting her time with Sasuke."
"Aw so she is interested in the Uchiha? So does she follow him around like a puppy?"
He was getting a kick out of it.
"Yes she does…well at least she use too."
"Use too?"
"For the last few days she has stop being rude to Naruto and actually been treating him as a teammate."
"Maybe she is maturing. I hear girls mature faster than boys."
Kakashi chuckled. "I wish. No it's a little more then that. She has made comments to Sasuke and has been yelling at him."
"I see and what is Sasuke's response?"
Kakashi took a second to think about all the interactions with Sasuke and Sakura as of lately.
"He seems…comfused. He gets angry and will glare which only causes her to walk away from him or to talk to Naruto. And when no one is looking he watches her, almost like he is in a trance."
"Think he might be missing all the attention she gave to him before the sudden change?"
"I don't know, I really don't know but that is not the biggest problem."
"Right now anyway."
"Yes for right now. In the future yes, but not now."
"So what is the problem now?"
"She has been hanging out with older kids."
"Oh I see…she is becoming friends with them and is starting to act like them right?"
"Yes."
"Then what's the problem?"
"It's the kids she is befriending."
"Are they bad kids?"
"No they are not bad kids."
"Then what is the problem?"
"I think they are the kind of the kids her parents don't want her around and I'm certain trouble is ahead."
"So why don't you talk to the parents?"
"…I can't…"
"Are they hard to talk to?"
"Yes very hard."
"Well they can't be as bad as mine." He chuckled waiting for Kakashi to laugh with him but he didn't.
Silence fills the room again.
"Kakashi?"
No response.
"…Are they as bad as my parents?"
"Yes."
The man's eyes sadden. "Wow that poor kid I feel for her."
"She has been with these kids for only a few days and she already changing dramatically. It won't be long till they start to question her."
The man snorted. "Cha sounds like my parents. Actually it sounds just like my past."
Silence. The man narrowed his eyes for a few moments. He seemed to be thinking of something before he spoke.
"Kakashi?"
"Yes?"
"This really does sound like my past." The man looked Kakashi right in the eyes as though he was trying to look through him.
"Why did you come here today?"
Kakashi silently cursed, he was starting to put all the pieces together.
"I came for a visit."
"Yes, but why? No better yet why are you telling me this girl's story? You were never the kind of person to gossip about other people's lives."
Silence.
"You never mentioned her name you know or who she has been hanging out with."
"She is hanging out with him……Kino."
"Kino…"
"Yes Kino."
"This girl, you're student, what is her name?" The man sounded like he was about to break. They both he already knew the answer to this but it needed to be spoken out loud.

The man's eyes widen.
"Sakura…my sister…"
Well I'm going to leave it at that because I want a little bit of a cliffy and I think this is the longest chapter I have ever written. Sorry for the wait guys. I was in different place for awhile and I wasn't allowed to use the internet.

Bye bye.
