"SHUT UP!!!" Sakura screamed shooting up from the bed she lay in, sweat pouring down her face like she just took a shower. Sakura breathed in deep breaths to calm her down as well as she could, but then she noticed her surroundings. Sakura jumped to her feet quickly and looked around. "Sasuke? Naruto?" Sakura whipped around looking for them, but after a minute she decided to run out the door and look.
The pink haired girl turned the knob and ran out of the room. She couldn't sense any chakra so she was a bit worried. She looked left, and then right. She stood in a long hallway. A set of stairs was seen so she ran down them, tripping on the way down. Once she reached the bottom she paused and listened. A TV was turned on in another room while in a different room there was running water and dishes being set near each other making a loud noise.
"Honey, could you bring me some coffee when you're done?" A man's voice shouted from the room where the TV was playing loudly. A woman sighed, but mumbled, "Yes, dear." The she mumbled something about being a lazy husband. Sakura didn't feel any threat to the two adults so she stepped around the corner of the hallway which led into the Kitchen. The woman heard Sakura and almost dropped her plate, "Oh my gosh! You scared me." Then the woman smiled gently, "Are you ok dear? When Ben and his friends came home with a pink haired girl with burn makes all over her, I got so worried." Sakura giggled nervously and rubbed the back of her head like her blond friend does. She noticed the burn makes still there. She wanted to heal them, but not in front of strangers.
The woman put down the dish she was cleaning and quickly turned the water off after she washed her hands. Sakura looked down and looked at her clothes. She was wearing a green and black shirt with a 10 on it. It was a size or two big for her so she knew it must have been Ben's. Then she noticed black shorts, once again a size or two big. She was a tiny girl for her age. The woman, most likely Ben's mom, smiled again, "My clothes were a bit small on you. I'm just a tiny woman for my age. Ben didn't mind giving up some clothes for the girl who helped Gwen. I'm Mrs. Tennyson." Then Mrs. Tennyson giggled and continued, "It was weird how when Ben entered the house with a 'Mom I'm Home' I only thought it would be him and maybe Gwen and Kevin. It shocked me to see two extra boys with weird clothes. One had whiskers and the other had chicken butt hair. Oh and I laughed when my husband walked into the room and the dark looking on with the chicken butt hair pulled out a long sword."
Sakura thought to herself, 'She talks kinda fast.' The woman added, "Oh and the blond one with whiskers was so funny!" Mrs. Tennyson giggled. Sakura smiled and nodded.
A man with dark hair walked into the room and smiled when he saw Sakura, "You finally up? It's been almost two days." Sakura gasped and yelled in her head, "Almost two days?! Where are the others?!"
Mrs. Tennyson said, "Your friends are such sweethearts. The blond said 'I will always be by Sakura's side! She is like a sister to me and it won't be any other way! I will die before she does!' and the darker, kinda scary one, said 'Hn…' They stayed next to you for almost the whole time, but I forced them to get out about an hour ago. They needed fresh air. I was worried about Kevin though. He wouldn't leave. Ben had to force him out of the house."
Mr. Tennyson laughed, "Yeah, but weird clothes style you guys have. By the way, Honey, you talk too much."
Mrs. and Mr. Tennyson laughed together and smiled at Sakura again. Sakura sighed, but then smiled, "Thanks for taking care of me while I was out. I'm sorry about the trouble I caused." Mrs. Tennyson was about to protest, but Sakura continued, "Do you know where Sasuke and Naruto went?"
Mrs. Tennyson shrugged, "Um, do you mind telling me how you ended up like that? With all of those burn makes and stuff. It looks like you were in a fire of something." This caught Mr. Tennyson's attention.
Sakura thought, 'Well if they didn't tell them then I shouldn't.' Sakura lied, "Gwen was in a fire and she was trapped, so I ran in and saved her. On my way out I got caught on something and couldn't move so it took me a while, but I finally got out with Gwen." Mr. Tennyson didn't believe Sakura, for he knew Gwen didn't have burn marks.
"But Gwen didn't have the burn marks on her."
Sakura added, "I used my coat to shield her, but in turn I got hurt and lost my coat. But I would have rather got hurt and lost my coat then Gwen get killed." Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson smiled. Before they could talk any longer the door burst open and a 'I'm home!' was heard on another room. Sakura looked to her right and saw a group of people walk into the room. Naruto walked into the room first and grinned at the sight of Sakura.
"Sakura-Chan!" Naruto lunged at her and hugged her with all of his strength. "I missed you so much!" Sakura rolled her eyes and looked at Naruto with a smile.
"It's not like I was gone forever, and plus. I've had worse."Sasuke walked into the room before Ben, Gwen, and Kevin entered. Sasuke muttered a 'dobe' under his breath and walked over to Sakura. Sakura smiled at him and Sasuke smirked, but it faded away when Ben grinned and blurted, "Hey, Sakura." Sakura grinned at him and then at the other two behind him. Gwen walked up to Sakura and gave her a hug and mumbled thanks.
Kevin just stood there, a small smirk on his face. The dark haired boy leaned against the wall and closed his eyes not letting his smirk fade away. Sakura stared at him, completely forgetting the six other people in the room. Sakura just stared at him. 'I want… to be near him… just for a second…' Sakura felt herself being forced to move by an invisible force. Inner Sakura, who has been gone for a long time, started to cheer. Sakura got closer and closer to the man she thought was hot. Left… right… left… right… her feet found their way to the other side of the room. She raised a hand, getting closer to Kevin as her hand extended. She felt a tingle in her stomach.
Sakura never felt this way. She felt so strange, emotions filling in her. So many that it all led to one. She knew something was making her be drawn to him. She would die if she couldn't at least touch his arm! She had too! She wanted to SO bad! A wave of anxious nausea hit her like a base ball bat to the head. She reached closer and closer. The feeling in her, that emotion that roamed in her, grew so much. She had to do this or she would die, mentally and maybe even physically. She reached her hand up and right before it touched his pale skin he opened his eyes and looked at her. He looked into her eyes and she looked into his. The room grew quiet. His handsome features shocked her. She just now noticed how cute he was.
Then he opened his mouth to say something…
