12 year old Sakura Haruno ran to the old bridge where she was to meet her team of Sasuke Uchiha, hottie extraordinaire, and Naruto Uzumaki, number one knuckle head. Their sensei Kakashi Hatake would probably arrive in about two hours so there was no real point in running, except to see Sasuke of course.

As the bridge came into view Sakura was delighted to see Sasuke was the only one there.

"Hi, Sasuke. How are you" she shouted determined to make Sasuke love her "God he looks so hot today"

"Hn" was the reply "I hate fan girls" he thought

"Oh that's wonderful Sasuke. I'm wonderful and I was wondering if maybe "Sakura blushed "if you'd go out with me"

"Sakura for the millionth time no. I do not like you in the least, therefore I will not go out with you so stop asking, and you are so annoying. Instead of being an idiotic fan girl why don't you train so you aren't as weak as you are now?" Sasuke had finally got so fed up with Sakura he exploded

"Oh" was all Sakura said trying hard not to cry

"You are the most beautiful, strong, and unique girl there is Sakura"

Sakura's head snapped up at the memory at least she thought it was a memory. Every now and again she had little memories of a black haired boy with emerald eyes. She suspected it to be someone from her past. Her parents had informed her last year that she was adopted; found when she was four years old at the hokage tower. When the hokage who had found her asked who she was she said Sakura and nothing more. It was later discovered that a memory jutsu had blocked all her memories. Now they were slowly coming back. Luckily only Sakura her parents and the hokage knew of her adoption.

Sakura smiled at the memory "fine Sasuke"

Sasuke was shocked at the impassiveness of the answer.

"Sakura how are you" Naruto asked as he ran to the bridge. Sakura sighed, she knew Naruto liked her but she seriously thought he was annoying.

"Fine"

"Hey teme" Naruto snarled at Sasuke "How can Sakura like him. I bet she pretends to make me jealous to like her even more. I'm awesome. Not as much as ramen. Yeah ramen! Ramen, ramen, ramen, ramen."

"Dobe" was Sasuke's reply "Idiot"


After about an hour Kakashi arrived. "Sorry I'm late but I"

"LIAR!!!!" Naruto and Sakura screamed in unison

"Well I have some news" Kakashi said and informed them of the chunnin exams. As they walked away Sakura sulked over her failed attempt at a date, when she heard a certain Konohamaru say she was Naruto's girlfriend. As she rounded the corner to kill the brat for calling her ugly she stared in horror at a large sand nin.

"Sakura" Kankuro whispered so no one heard though Temari thought the same.

"let him go, what has he done to you jerk?" she screeched.

"no way is that her she died eight years ago but, the hair, the eyes. maybe... no they look different"' Kankuro shook his head and glared at Sakura

"Why should I. This is gonna be fun" Then a pebble whizzed hitting him making him drop the brat. "Who"

"Leave him alone" Sasuke's voice said from a tree

"Sasuke" swooned the two girls and Temari nodded in approval of the little hottie

"Why you-"

"Kankuro" Gaara's voice shook Kankuro and temari to the core.

"Gaara" he looked and sure enough there he was red hair and all.


As Gaara appeared next to Temari, Sakura looked at him.

"Sakura, do you think I'm a monster?"

"That's impossible Gaara"

Sakura screeched and screamed as pain filled her head. She fell to the ground still thrashing wildly.

Everyone but Gaara and Kankuro rushed to her aid. They pulled Temari back and disappeared.
