My Hopeless Family

I just realized I forgot to incorporate Kakashi and Shikamaru in the food fight scene. I'm an idiot. So to make sure this doesn't happen again, I made a chart! Now I can track how much each character talks!

…I'm such a loser.

Ok, so this is really important. I wrote this chapter in Sakura's POV. I wanted to ask you guys a question: Do I write better in first person or third person?

I want to see what style suits me more. Please compare this chapter with the last and tell me. Whichever you guys like more will be the style of my future chapters. To me first person is easier, but I can see how it may get confusing. I have a third person version made out already, so if people prefer third person I'll switch the chapters.

Thanks to my reviewers: Keraii (Thanks for the review :]), Strawberries and Cream-chan (It's ok! Take as long as you want. There will be some Sakura-Gaara interaction in the next chapter. Be prepared.), Lazy Black Wolf (Thanks!), Shining Through (I'm sososososo sorry I didn't reply back to that PM you sent me in like...January. I'm such a bad person. I'm dedicating the next chapter to you.), Twisted Musalih (I updated! Yeah, it's a little late, but hey! Better late than never right? Right?), SasoLOVE111 (Chocolate... Yum. Yes, I admit. I am a sugar obsessive freak.), Sodapopgirly83 (Thanks for your review!)

Dedication: To Karin Ochibi-chan. Happy birthday. And yes, there are anime characters born today :]. There's Hatoko Daikanyama(Cyber Team in Akihabara), Inori (Haruka Naru Toki no Naka de), Leo Aioria (Saint Seiya), Chiharu Aoki (Tokimeki Memorial: Girls' Side), and Anzu Mazaki/ Tea Garder (Yu-Gi-Oh). (I googled this...)

Disclaimer: Nope, not mine. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto and part of the plot belongs to the birthday girl, Karin Ochibi-chan-sama.

"Sakura Haruno! How dare you act like that in front of them! Do you know how much you embarrassed me? What am I going to say to Kakashi? Oh! He might leave me because of what happened! You are in so much trouble, young lady!"

I rolled my eyes at my mother's rant and continued to flip the channel on TV. There's nothing good on Disney today. And there really is no point of trying Cartoon Network or Nick. If there's one thing I hate about the 21st century, it's the TV shows that come on.

Seriously. What happened to the good classics?

"SAKURA HARUNO ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?"

"Mom, if he left you for whatever happened yesterday, then he isn't worth it. Plus he has 9 boys. He's probably used to this type of stuff."

My mom sighed and looked at me, "I hope he doesn't leave-"

"Well, I hope he does," I mumbled under my breath, earning a glare from mom.

"As I was saying. I have proposed a plan. I know you're going to enjoy it."

I stared at my mom, horrified. Any idea she thought I was going to enjoy usually ended up as a disaster.

Exhibit A: That trip to all the fast food chains.

I couldn't look at meat for an entire month. And any person that knows me knows that meat is high up on my favorite foods list. Right after chocolate and other sugary products.

Exhibit B: The dinner from yesterday.

Now thatwas riding on first class of a trainwreck. And puh-lease that food fight was so not my fault. It was that hyperactive blonde's.

"Oh god, no,"

"You are staying with the boys today. I expect you to be on your best behavior."

I glared at her, "What? Why?"

Mom looked at me squarely in the eyes, "You need to bond with them. They'll become your family in the matter of a couple months."

"No!" I huffed and crossed her arms. No way. There was no force in the world that could make me do this. No matter how much her mother begged, I will not agree.

Bu unfortunately I made the mistake of looking at my mom. She was pouting and had tears in her eyes.

I really despise those puppy dog eyes.

"Welcome to our humble abode," Kakashidrawled as he opened his arms wide, gesturing to the house.

I gaped at the house, 'Humble abode my foot. This isn't a house, it's a freakin mansion!'

There it was. The house was gated with roses adorning the edge or the walkway. There were tree's everywhere, and I swear I saw a lake near the back. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a fountain in the middle of their house. This house was made for royalty.

"Uh... Nice house?"

Kakashichuckled at my response, "We get that a lot. The boys should be inside, I've told them to treat you nicely."

I nodded, still staring at their 'house'

Kakashi's eyes crinkled. I sure hope that meant he was smiling.

He needs to take off that mask. Understanding him would be so much easier. And I want to see why my mom says he's so attractive.

"Try to make yourself at home. This is your house now."

I smiled at him and started walking inside, "You got it Kakashi."

"Oh, and Sakura? Try not to make a mess in the dining hall. Cleaning it will take forever."

I twitched. Why bring up that mess again?

How many times will I have to say it?

I.

Didn't.

Start.

It.

It was that stupid blonde and his Ino-look-alike friend that did.

I will forever be misunderstood. I sighed and I walked inside, my jaw dropped at the decorations and I froze in place, staring around the room.

Da-yum.

The inside looked better than the out. And the outside was already perfect.

What's the need for a 72 inch plasma screen TV?

…And was that a chocolate fountain?

As Haruhi would say in a time like this: rich bastards.

"Oh, so you're here already." I turned around to see the guy with pineapple hair on the stairs. He was wearing a black t-shirt with faded jeans.

He looks pretty hot.

…Bad thoughts. Must get rid of bad thoughts.

Gah, I thought I got rid of my inner last year. Why the hell was she back?

You can't get rid of me that easily.

I mentally snorted. 'Easily? I was in therapy for months because of you.'

He came down the stairs, yawning. "This is so troublesome. I'm supposed to take you on a tour of the house."

I rolled my eyes, "I can find my way around. You don't need to help me."

He raised his eyebrow. "This house is pretty big."

"I know! But with the power of my chocolate I know I can!" I pumped my fist into the air.

"Really?"

"Yes, really." I looked at him again. What's his name again? I swear it started with a P. "What's your name anyways?"

He stared at me lazily, "It's Shikamaru. Women are so troublesome. This is why I didn't want to do this." He then waved his hand and started walking up the stairs, "Have fun by yourself."

I gaped in his direction. He just left me here? What a jerk. He could have been nice and said it was no big deal.

I stomped after him, "Hey! Wait a moment! I said wait!"

I reached the hallway and froze. There were 5 other hallways connected to this one. Which one to choose? So many choices.

Well, there's only one way to decide.

"Eeny meeny miny mo catch the chocolate by the toe. If it hollers eat it up. Eeny meeny miny mo."

I pointed to hallway 1. "Aha! That lazy ass will definitely be in there!"

I will find him now. This rhyme never fails me!

No seriously. This rhyme was the reason I won the golden ticket at the raffle. The others were so jealous. I won a free trip to Tokyo Disneyland for two, and what did they win?

Tissues.

Freakin' tissues.

Hah.

Humming, I skipped down the hallway until I arrived at the first door. I debated on whether I should knock or not. I decided against it.

"Ready or not here I come!"

I flung the door open and looked around. I saw a patch of white on the ground and squealed.

"AKAMARU!" I ran over to him and picked him up, smothering him against my chest, "You're so cute! Aww. I love you, you adorable doggy. Who's a good doggy?"

"H-Hey!" I turned around to see a second door on the wall left of the door I came from. It was that Eskimo guy, "Let go of my dog!"

I stared at him, "Who are you again?"

He blanched, "Kiba. Remember?"

I thought back to the dinner, "Ah! Your that guy that had a drumstick on his forehead."

He glared at me, "And whose fault was that?"

I glared back. This was the third time this chapter already! "It was your blonde friend! He started it."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, just give me back Akamaru."

I blew him a raspberry, "No. I like Akamaru and he likes me. No force can stop our love for each other! Not god. Not my mom. Heck, Ino can't even do something about this. That's how strong our love is. Chocolate may possibly interfere." I looked at the suffocating dog, "I'm sorry Akamaru, but no matter how strong out love is, nothing will ever beat chocolate."

He stared at me, "Uh.. Sure. Can I have him back now?"

"Were you not listening to me? I said no."

He twitched, "Now wait a minute. Akamaru is MY dog. Not yours."

I stick my tongue out at him. "Akamaru likes me better."

"No he doesn't! He just met you!"

"It's love at first sight! How dare you interfere with true love!"

Kiba growled, "Now listen here. Akamaru is my dog and I want him back. Hand him over."

"Aka-chan is mine now."

"Akamaru's not a girl dammit!"

"I don't care! Aka-chan is fitting for such a cute dog." I nuzzled his face," Aka-chan, lets stay together forever."

"Oi! Put him down!"

"No! Akamaru wants to stay with me!"

"No he wants to stay with me!" Kiba death glared at me, "Fine, how about you put him down and he picks who he likes more."

I nodded, "Fine, but just don't feel heartbroken when he chooses me."

He grunted and I put Akamaru on the ground. Kiba and I crouched down.

"Come on boy," I said gesticulating towards me, "Don't stop our love."

"Akamaru, come over here," Kiba said at the same time as me, "I've always been there for you."

Akamaru whimpered as he looked at the two of us. He looked at me for a couple seconds, and then Kiba. This went on for the next minute.

"Please Akamaru?" I pouted.

"Akamaru," Kiba looked at him seriously, "Pick me."

He looked at us for another couple of seconds. And then he started moving. I held my breath, hoping that he would come near me. Instead, he did the most unexpected thing.

He walked out the room.

I stared at his retreating form and then glanced at Kiba. He was shocked too.

"This is so your fault."

"My fault? You were the one who wouldn't give me back my dog!"

"He's not a possession. You can't just own him. That's slavery right there! I bet you aren't paying him for his services."

He gaped at me, "What services? He's my pet. I give him everything he needs. And how would he even use the money if I gave it to him?"

"How should I know? Do I look like Akamaru?"

We both glared at each other before Kba turned away and looked at the door.

Stupid eskimo. Akamaru was supposed to be mine.

I sighed and stared at Kiba.

Now that I think about it, Kiba's not that bad looking either.

How I hate my mind. Stupid Inner.

He noticed my gaze and looked at me, "What?"

I cracked my knuckes and got off the ground. "Nothing of importance. Now excuse me while I go find the guy that just left me here."

Kiba raised an eyebrow, "Do you know your way around the house?"

I kicked the ground and clasped my fingers togerher, "Not really. But I can find my way around. I do have the power of chocolate."

He looked at me like I was crazy, "Yeah, ok. How about I take you to Shikamaru's room."

Hm. If he took me there right now, and Shikamaru wasn't there I could get my revenge.

MWAHAHAHAHA-coughchoke-HAHAHA.

Revenge is sweet.

But then again, so is ice cream.

"Revenge is ice cream." I cackled, earning a creeped out look from Kiba.

"What?"

"Oh nothing."

Omake

I stopped in place, "Wait how did you know that Shikamaru was my guide?"

He kept walking foreward, "We played a game. The loser had to take you around the house."

I twitched, "Thanks for caring about me."

We walked silently for another few minutes, "Wait. What game did you play?"

He turned and smirked at me, "We used a cootie catcher."

And I'm done! Yes! Sorry if it just cut off really weirdly. I really wanted to post this today.

Oh, and guess what? I gotz myself a Deidara plushie.

He's adorable and my inspiration to this chapter. Now I need Sasori.

Review, ne?

Love,

Roro-chan

P.S. I was bored, hence the omake. Ignore it if you don't like it.
