Kumiko's P.O.V(Point of View)

*** *** ***

Did I expect someone to come knocking on my door & invite me to a sleepover? No. Did I expect her to be so persistent? Nope. Did I expect to be sleeping at Sakura's house any time soon? Not really.

So when Sakura came asking me to come to her sleepover I couldn't help but be a little surprised and maybe even a little shocked. After careful consideration I realized this could actually be kinda fun...You know! Pillow fights, wreacking havoc, sharing secrets, creating chaos, playing games, causing disruption...did I mention a nice serving of complete and utter chaos?

Thats how I ended up sitting cross-legged on Sakura's carpet. Simple, right?

The doorbell rang. Sakura was nowhere to be seen, so the doorbell rang again. Sakura was nowhere to be seen so the doorbell rang again. Sakura came thumping down the stairs.

"Coming!" she yelled.

The doorbell was now being pushed frantically.

"I SAID I WAS COMING!" she yelled, yanking the door open.

"Hi!" Ino said cheerfully, clearly not phased by Sakura's annoyance.

Sakura rolled her eyes and gave her a hug. Ino looked around at everything while walking in but froze when she spotted me. Her nose wrinkled and her brow furrowed.

"Who's that?" she whispered to Sakura rather loudly.

"Her? She's Kumiko." Sakura explained.

"I know that! But what is she doing here? Hence inviting your friends." she said clearly stating she doesnt want me there.

Great! I have a weak, annoying pink-head and a rude blondie. Things cannot get any worse! Boy was I wrong. I could hear them arguing in the kitchen.

"Is she staying for the whole sleepover?" Ino asked

"Yes" Sakura muttered

"Why did you invite her?"

"My mom made me. But Ino im sure oce we get to know her she'll be a great person."

"Are you serious?" Ino asked incredulously

"No...but if you would just be nice I would REALLY appreciate it."

"But-"

I got up and walked to the door frame and leaned on the side.

"You know I can hear everything your saying right?" I asked stoically

Ino bit her lip and looked at Sakura. Sakura gave her a stern look and Ino gave a big smile. She walked over and looped her arm through mine. I looked at her and raised one eyebrow.

"Let's go wait for others." she told me

"Isn't Sasuke CUTE?" Ino asked me

"I...guess?" I replied dubiously

"So dont I have a WAY better chance at him than billboard-brow?" she asked confidently

"Well-"

"Yeah right! What makes you think he wants an Ino-pig like you?" Sakura taunted

"Then he DEFINITELY wants nothing to do with a billboard-brow like yourself."

Sakura growled. Ten minutes later when TenTen and Hinata managed to break it all eyes turned towards me.

"Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...Kumiko..." TenTen started

"Yeah?"

"Tell us about yourself. Where are you from?"

"Oh where im from it's beatiful! There's mountains, beaches, castles, and even a palace." I said with a dreamy look on my face.

Everyone 'Oooooooooooooooooooh-ed' and 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-ed'.

"Sounds beatiful! If you had all that why did you come from that to here?" Ino asked

"I was born here. But my mother's family lived somewhere else so every summer I went to visit."

"You were born here?" Sakura asked

"Yeah."

"Cool. Ummmmm...Oh! How come i've never seen your family arond here?" TenTen asked

Kumiko's face fell and she looked at the ground.

"...My family...was...was..." I choked up and a a fat tear rolled down my cheek and I paused.

"Im SO sorry! I didnt me-"

I drew a deep breath and continued.

"All of my family was murdered!" I blurted out before I could change my mind.

There were a few gasps and everyone started stammering apologies.

"I-i-im s-so sorry!"

"Oh my gosh! I had NO idea!"

"Forget I ever said anything!"

"You dont have to continue!"

But one voice rang out abve the other voices and said:

"How?"

Everyone looked at her and said:

"Huh?"

"How? How did they die?"

"INO!" everyone chorused.

"What?" she asked innocently.

I laughed.

"It's ok. Really." I said while wiping my eyes.

"You know im really happy you came." TenTen told me.

"M-m-me t-too." Hinata said.

"Thanks you guys!" I said

"CONFESSION! Look, Kumiko. Im really sorry about earlier! I just...I just...I dont know what happened...but im really sorry!" Ino told me.

"Me too! Before I didnt want to invite you but im really glad I did. Im really sorry about everything! How about we start over?" Sakura pleaded

"Yeah, Kumiko! Me too!" Ino said.

I smiled.

"Sure."

"But before we do anything else, while we're making confessions I have to make one too."

She paused and took a breath. Then she looked each person in the eye and said:

"Im an Uchiha."

"No way. You cant be! All of them died. The only survivors were Sasuke and his older brother Itachi..." Ino said

I closed my eyes and activated my sharingan. I looked at the others.

"And me."

Everyone's mouths dropped open.

"OH MY GOD!"

"That's so awesome!"

"Cool!"

"W-w-wow!"

"There's more."

"How much more could there be? Your a secret agent undercover for the land of mist and after you've found out all our secrets your gonna kill us?" Ino asked

"No. Im not really Kumiko."

"Then who are you?" TenTen asked

"Akira. Akira Uchiha."

"S-s-so w-who's K-k-k-kumiko?" Hinata asked timidly

"No one. I made her up."

"O-o-oh."

"You guys this has to stay between us! And only us!"

"WHAT?" everyone screamed

"Do you know how popular you'd be if you told everybody?"

"Yeah! Everybody would love you!"

"All of you have to promise to keep this between the five of us! Tell NO. ONE. Not even a hint!" I told them seriously

Ino pouted for a moment then muttered a 'Fine', and they all made imaginary X's over their hearts.

"Ok. Now: I have sooooooooooooooooo many questions for you!" Ino said

"Totally" everyone chorused.

Everyone started talking at once and the noise level got louder.

"QUIET!" I screamed.

Everyone stopped and everything was quiet.

"One. At. A time." I said quietly.

"Does anyone else know your an Uchiha?"

"Not here."

"Whats that necklace for and how come you never take it off?"

"Because someone I loved very much gave it to me and its all I have left of them..." I replied sadly.

"Can I see it?" Sakura questioned

I gently reached behind my neck and untied the knot I had tied to keep it on and passed it to Sakura. She turned it around and read the inscription aloud.

"Forever mine, my one true love, Akira."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!" everyone said simultaneosly

I blushed and collected my necklace. It was a simple choker. A black band with a gold pendant in the middle. I answered the rest of their questions.

Suddenly, Ino said:

"Lets play Truth or Dare!"
