Sunlight streamed in through the window and the birds sang happily. The curtains fluttered in the slight wind and everything was quiet.
I opened one eye lazily, and layed on my bed letting the warm sunlight wash over me.
'Time to go train...' I thought groggily.
I changed positions so that I was sitting down with my legs swinging over the side. I sat there for a few seconds thinking, then I got up and stretched. I yawned thinking of the day ahead of me.
'Training...training...and more training...It's almost as if I'm back home. ' I thought reflecting on all I ever do and have done.
I walked over to my huge closet and sifted through everything until I found what I was looking for, a baby blue tube top and my black ninja capris.
I slipped them on and pulled on my ninja shoes. I took the stairs two at a time and raced to the front door. As I was walking out I glanced at the clock, 7:30. I was late!
I raced down the streets dodging the people almost knocking down someone. I went to the training area, to find it empty.
"Phew! I made it!" I thought out loud to myself.
I walked over to the shade and sat down.
'Today is a beautiful day…' I thought to myself.
After waiting for half an hour I finally decided to start training myself.
'That old man would be late to his own funeral!'
While absorbed in my thoughts I summoned five clones. They stood there waiting, looking at me. I stood in the middle.
"Attack me."

I sat there with beads of sweat trickling down my face. I closed my eyes waiting for my breaths to slow. The only sound was the one coming from my breathing. I heard the sound of footsteps and tensed. I opened my eyes and looked around. Then I heard voices.
"You guys have to work on your teamwork. I've noticed that throughout the time. Sakura that means that you have to work with Naruto and boys that means you have to work with each other…together."
'I recognize that voice! That's Kakashi!' I thought furiously
'We were supposed to train today!' I thought, my thoughts coming in fast.
"I can't work with that knucklehead! He'll ruin me and Sasuke! Sasuke doesn't deserve to work with him! He never thinks things through! This isn't fair! Why can't I just work with Sasuke?" Someone said whining.
"Hey! Kakashi-sensei Sakura's being mean!" Naruto yelled.
"Sakura the only way to become a great ninja is to learn teamwork. Even the best ninja in the world couldn't survive without skills in teamwork." Kakashi persisted
"Fine Kakashi-sensei, I'll try…" The girl said defeated.
"Kakashi-sensei! Are you even listening?" Asked the boy.
'Hmmm…Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto, that would be team 7' I thought interested.
They then walked into view. A pouting girl with pink hair and emerald green eyes to match, a boy with onyx black eyes and midnight blue hair, and then I saw the wildly known boy a.k.a. Konoha's #1 knucklehead! The one and only…Naruto! He had blonde hair and sky blue eyes.
I sat there waiting for them to spot me. Then I got a brilliant idea. I masked my chakra and watched them. When they stopped I jumped in front of Kakashi.
"You weren't at training earlier today." I said coldly.
"Oh yeah…about that…ummmmm…you know I thought we could take a break today." He said uneasily.
"You totally forgot. Yet you remembered Team 7, so obviously you don't have that bad of a memory." I said narrowing my eyes dangerously.
"Ok so I forgot…if you want you can join Team 7's training." He said thoughtfully
"No thanks, I already trained. Myself. Besides I don't train with amateurs." I said walking away.
Sakura and Naruto stood there baffled and confused. Sasuke's ears perked up at this. Nobody underestimated an Uchiha.
"Then what makes you think your better?" Sasuke challenged.
"The fact that I can actually beat somebody in a battle. Unlike some people on this training ground…" She said trailing off. After that she disappeared.
The moonlight gently poured in through the window and I undressed. I looked in my closet for clothes to sleep in and found a nightgown. I sat on my bed clutching my necklace. It was a chocker. It had a simple black band that ran around my neck and a gold pendant. It was a circle with an inscription on the back.
I read the inscription:
Forever mine, my one true love, Akira.
As I read that tears flowed down my face and I closed my eyes. I imagined all the time we spent together, the fun times we had. I imagined me being in his arms. Then just as quickly as it appeared the memories went away, all of them. I scolded myself for being so emotional.
Besides, he left years ago. What was I doing thinking about him now?
'Get yourself together; you have no time for emotions! Emotions make you weak!' I thought bitterly.
As I gathered myself I slipped under the covers and closed my eyes. I drifted off to a deep sleep…
