Chapter 5

It turned out that the gang really did follow her for the whole day but didn't talk to her. At lunch Sakura had snapped.

"OK! I GET IT!" the gang looked surprised at her sudden outburst. It wasn't like her. "God You people are really weird you know that" and she sighed. "Introduce, yourselves except you Uchiha. I already know you" They all smiled (except Sasuke who grunted)

"Yamanaka Ino! Hope we can get along really well" sakura nodded and looked at the next girl.

"H...hhyyuuuuuaa...Hhiiiin...nattttt...aaa" Sakura sensed her nervousness.

"TenTen just TenTen" Sakura nodded

"Hyuuga Neji" Sakura raised an eyebrow

"Brother?" she asked

"Cousin" he answered and she nodded.

"Uzumaki Naruto"

"Nara*yawn*Shikamaru"

Sakura closed her eyes to process all this. She then felt a presence and looked to her side. Sasuke looked confused and looked to the side. There stood Karin and two of her clones. He sniggered at Karin's bruised nose. The group looked at him surprised. The human ice cube had cracked an emotion. Karin turned red both with embarrassment and anger. She glared at Sakura. "YOU! HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LOOK BAD IN FRONT OF SASUKE-KUN! ITS YOU'RE FAULT THAT THE WHOLE SCHOOL IS LAUGHING AT ME!" Karin screamed in Sakura's face. Sakura shrugged and simply replied

"You had it coming" This made Karin angrier. Replay of what happened the day before but a bit different. Karin walked closer to slap her but this time Sasuke stopped her. Karin looked surprised.

"Sasuke-kun...what...why are you protecting that brat?!YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE PROTECTING ME! I'M YOU'RE GIRLFRIEND!"

"You're not my girlfriend not even my friend and also you're about to slap sakura who is my friend." Karin looked as if she was about to cry. Sakura stood up and motioned Sasuke to release her. Sasuke did. Sakura looked at Karin and said

"Look umm..." Sakura looked at Sasuke and mouthed what's her name?

"Karin" Sakura nodded and looked back at Karin

"Look Karin, what happened this morning was entirely your fault"

"HOW, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TIPPED ME OFF THE TABLE. "

"Yes I did but I warned you. I told you to leave or I'd make you. You should have left. If you did none of this would have happened. Now about you run along like a good girl or... I'll make you." Karin paled at those three words. She scrambled off closely followed by her clones. Sakura smirked. Everyone clapped at her. She blinked and without emotion she sat back down. AS they walked to class, Sakura hadn't really changed on the outside but on the inside, she felt as if she had a family again. She didn't really say much about herself. She just warned them that occasionally she would go on rage mode and said that if they were really her friends, they wouldn't ditch her like her previous friends did. When TenTen asked about her family, Sakura momentarily lost her composure and her eyes turned indigo for a moment. Sasuke and the others all looked at her concerned, not seeing the change of her eyes. "Sakura?" said Ino

"I'm fine, I'll see you guys later" Sakura said and hastily walked away, leaving the others in confusion. It better this way. It better if they didn't know about my past or that I'm a ninja...or about my bloodline.

Sasuke eyed the retreating figure of the blossom but unfortunately, Naruto caught him and shouted out

"OH MY GODD! SASUKE HAS A CRUSH ON SAKURA!" Sasuke punched his head...hard. And Naruto said it at the wrong time. A group of fan girls were passing by and had heard him. They immediately chased after a running Sasuke.

Sasuke: *pant pant* Naruto, you will pay for that. It wasn't even in the script.

Naruto: Sorry bro...Couldn't help myself

Sasuke: You better start running

Shikamaru: Troublesome...review to save us from this troublesome mess
