Disclaimer : I sadly don't own Naruto, Wish i did, it would be named Sakura, Gaara or Itachi, LOL!


Staying in the bathroom till I knew there was only 10 minutes left, Mika with me because she was too shy to stay by herself. Time for an intervention!

"Mika Haruno, I have noticed you don't go anywhere without me, is it because you're scared by yourself or just shyness? Please tell me Onegai, ne?" I pleaded.

"Is it alright if I call you Onee-sama, Sakura-san?" Mika asked suddenly, I felt flattered because I never had a sister or a brother either. I started to cry and she looked at me.

"Sakura, are you ok, I'm sorry for asking that, if it's not too late, I'll take it back." She asked. I shook my head.

"It's ok Mika; I'll call you my Onee-chan, ne? You'll be my kawaii, Onee-chan." I told her, she started to cry immediately. She started to giggle while crystalline tears fell down her clear complexion, I hugged her while smiling, my eyes still watery.

"Mika-chan, you can call me whatever you like, as long as you stay my kawaii little Onee-chan, ne?" I told her

Mika nodded and I hugged her tighter. After I let her go I look at the clock in the corner of the bathroom and it read 10 minutes before the bell, I grabbed Mika's hand and dragged her back down the hall to Ibiki's classroom and sat in our seats. Mine in the corner, hers' next to mine, as we pulled out our phones, I was texting Hinata because she wasn't here, she left after last hour.

I didn't know who Mika was texting but each time she got a message she blushed and replied. Just after her last message which made her turn scarlet, I took the phone away and gazed through their text messages to find it was Kiba she was texting. I giggled and handed Mika her phone back, Mika stared at me as if asking me permission, I nodded and she did a small cheer with her hands. We chatted and laughed, and never noticed something walking towards us.

"Well, what do we have here? Some goth girls hanging in a corner to cut themselves?" Chided the girl we found out before was the Gaara fan girl president. I smiled mischievously and Mika saw the secretiveness and hide her own smirk as we turned towards the girls with heavy perfume and heavy layers of make-up.

"Well Matsuri, what do me and my cousin, have the pleasure of talking to you?" I snide hiding my own enjoyment at tricking her that Mika twinkled her golden eyes showing her enjoyment as well.

"Matsuri-chan, why did we come over here again?" asked one of the over-powdered girls behind the head fan-girl.

"We're here to tell off Sanai to back off Gaara-kun! She's making it difficult to get with him." Matsuri blurted, forgetting we were sitting right in front of her and her confession.

"Well now, I didn't start that small starting relationship did I Matsuri? Did you ever think he came to me to be away from your smell and over-powdered faces, I mean the only make-up I wear is a thin line of eye liner. Your wearing eye liner, a think line, a big thick glob of mascara and a bunch of face powder and blush, and that large amount of eye shadow isn't helping either. You do know make-up clogs your pours and makes pimples and zits come out on your face?" I pointed out as I rambled, purposely.

Matsuri's eyes twitched as I winked and she stood up straight and sniff her head up high and her and her posy walked away. I burst out laughing, catching someone's sea-foam green eyes.

I felt arms wrap around my waist and turned to see a certain red-head sitting beside me on the other side, and I noticed the Inuzuka in front of us, Mika blushing like crazy but talking to him normally. I set my eyes onto Gaara, and then looked towards Matsuri's table to see her crushing the nearest boys arm within her grasp, I smirked and cuddled into Gaara's chest as she growled and almost broke the boys' arm, yelping before she could manage it.

I smiled and looked up towards the leader of the group, and my first crush, boyfriend, and soon-to-be mate. We stared into each others' eyes for a few second before we heard a loud giggle and a laugh coming from the other two. We turned and stared at the two and found Kiba was sniffing a few strands of hair and Mika was chuckling and giggling. We grinned and I cleared my throat.

"Kiba, please release my cousins hair, I do have to ask you a few questions so you can date my cousin." I stated with a hint of authority.

"Mika, how did she know I asked you out?" Kiba questioned Mika, making her blush and sputter words helplessly.


"I took her phone away from her to see what she was blushing about and found your text." A small smirk spreading across my face, as I spoke the truth.

"Sakura, don't push your authoritive figure." Gaara stated with a small pinch of sarcasm. I pressed further into Gaara, practically on his lap as the bell rang before Kiba asked Mika how she could give her phone so freely. Gaara took my wrist and a grabbed Mika quickly and tightly as we were pulled to our next class, Math. I jumped for joy and whispered into Mika's ear were in our territory now, Math.

"Anko-sensei, my cousin moved in with me so she's new here, she doesn't want an introduction in front of class, she's too shy. She's in all of my classes so I would like her to be near me at all times, preferably beside me." I gave the information to my teacher and me Gaara and Mika sat in the back, me in the middle of the two.

I pulled out my math notebook out of my book bag and opened it to a new page, Mika and Gaara following suit. We each completed or problems, Mika first me second and Gaara last.

"Gaara-kun, Mika and I are good at math, now don't pout, it's too irresistible to not kiss you." I chided

"Then I should be pouting more." I stated simply.

I giggled as we began the homework that was due, me and Mika finished together and had to help the struggling Gaara do his homework, putting up with his, 'I can do it myself.' and 'I can do it.'. We eventually helped him finish his homework before the last bell rang for our last class, and my favorite, Art.

I gently pulled Mika and Gaara, rushing to Art but stopped a meter before the door to see a blonde in the door, the same one from the hall, before.

"I don't know what you did to Sasuke-kun, but he isn't acting like himself anymore, he's more determined to try and get you, he knows your going out with the goth king" She looked at Gaara and sneered, "He wants you, even if all his ex-girlfriends are asking to give them to him, he refuses, he usually accepts right away." I gagged at the girls' stupidity for an ignorant jack-ass with a chickens' ass attached to his head.

"Tell him just back off, even if he tries to force me to submit to him, I'll make his life a living hell, even after death." I swore and she gasped and ran off.

"What was that about Sakura-chan?" Mika whispered in my ear. I nodded my head and the understood; I was going to tell her during art.

"Sakura what did she mean Sasuke is acting different, even refusing sex with his groupies?" Gaara raised his invisible brow with his questioning stare and sentence directed at me.

"Ill you both in art there's too many people." I stated simply. We walked inside, the bell ringing second after we entered the classroom, Kurenai at the front of class, taking attendance.

"Glad you could join us before the bell, Sanai, Sabaku, Haruno." Sakura flinched at the last name, Mika's mother wanted to keep her families' name so Mika could live underneath the protection of the prominent clan, before the massacre of Haruno's, Their war with the werewolves did a lot of damage, Mika's father the only branch family member, Sakura, the only head member left, is now the clan leader, at such a tender age of 16.

They sat down at the three seats in the back corner and grabbed the canvas and paper on the desk in front of them.

'Paint the Best Thing In Your Past.' It read with small details telling you to title and which kind of paints they're using.

"Mika, are you painting your Okaa-sama?" I asked sweetly, hearing my voice crack at Okaa-sama.

She nodded and Gaara decided not to ask as out the corner of my eye I saw his mouth slightly open. I nodded as her silently asked her if it was a sensitive subject. We began to Use the paint brush , using swipes and strides, here and there, looking at it back, using a deeper shade to shade the areas, doing more detailing it and I was almost finished until I looked at Mika's painting, it was beautiful!
