Chapter 2
The summer breeze felt warm and comforting against every inch of her skin. Standing on the peak of the hill, a girl with short pink hair and emerald eyes smiled at the familiar place she once lived.
It has been so long.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of this nostalgic smell. It never change, the same sweet flowery smell filled her nostril, the sound of the birds, the way wind brushed her hair back, all so familiar.
"Naruto, Sasuke, I am back." A small whisper carried off by the wind.
Haruno Sakura, 17, back to the place she has been wishing for for 7 years.
Tokyo.
Over the 7 years, life was not easy for her but Sakura was not some ordinary girl, she has managed everything. After the first year she moved to Hokkaido, she was force to face the bitter fate that her parents died in a car accident leaving her with nothing but herself.
The 11 year old Sakura did not cry at their funeral, everyone thought she was heartless. But silently in a place no one can see, her tears were stream down till there is no more to shield. She hated tears, it makes her feel helpless, weak, and pitiful, that was why she has been struggling so hard not to let any fall. Despite so, a family's love will never be there anymore. She cursed why wasn't her the one who die. Why? How much she wanted her to be the one.
Little Sakura watched as the people laid her parent's lifeless body into the wooden tomb. She watched as her parents slowly disappeared into the earth, gone forever.
She didn't say anything, she just watched.
With no relatives and no one to rely on, she has no place to go. Sitting quietly in front of the grave with the cold rain pouring down as if moaning with her, she begged her parents to take her with them. They never did.
Two days after she sat there waiting for her parents to take her, an old woman came over and offered her a home. Without her, Sakura would have been sleeping with her parents forever in the darkness and never will full fill her dream to seek for Naruto and Sasuke's smile again.
Her 2 years spending with the old woman, now consider her grandma, was one of the best memories she has. She was another person who filled the loneliness in her heart. Those times did not last long, at the age of 12, she was forced to accept the lost of another person she loved.
Her grandma passed away leaving her alone again, the last words of her that Sakura has clearly carved in her heart, she will always remember.
"Be strong, Saku-chan, don't let anything get to you."
After her grandma's death, she took multiple jobs and attended school at the same time to manage her daily expense. And with the 4 years of her hard earned money, she finally got enough to go back to Tokyo, the place where it all began.
Now,17, the second gear of her life will begin to turn.
Sakura, after her declaration of returning, quickly ran down the hill and into the familiar street. She wanted to see them as soon as possible; they were all she thought about when she first stepped into the train.
The last time she heard from them was a month before her parent's death. She has continuously sent letters but never had she got any back. Their bond was not as simple as this, she told herself refusing to believe they might have already forgotten her.
Walking towards the direction of their house, her steps quickened as she thought more about the two. She has been waiting for so long for this day to come, she just couldn't wait anymore.
Panting as she finally arrived in front her old home, Sakura eyes wondered off to located their houses but, much to her horror, it wasn't the same. The two houses that belong to her best friends were gone, what is left was only a flat land. Her old house was still there, but that's not what she came back for. What she wanted is to see them.
Worries filled her mind, what if she never finds them? What if they move away to a place she can't reach? She shook her head in disbelief. Not thinking anymore, she rushed to knock on her old home. It took a moment before the door opened in a soft click.
"Yes?" An old lady greeted her.
"Excuse me, do you know what happen to the two houses around you?" She quickly asked hoping for an answer.
The old lady's eyes widen suddenly with a glimpse of horror hidden inside. After a short pause, Sakura tried again, "The Uchihas, and Uzumakis?"
Without answering her question, the woman quickly shut the door with a loud bam.
"W-wait, do you know them?" She certainly knows something and Sakura was not going to give up this chance. She knock on the door harder when no one responded.
"Please tell me." She tried again. From outside, she could hear the old lady mumbling in a shaky tone. "I don't know, p-please go away."
"Mrs. Ummm," looking at the door plate, "Kano-san, please tell me anything you know." Sakura continued to knock the door.
Behind the door, the old lady sound more scared than ever, "I don't know anything, please don't ask me!" She almost shouted.
"Are they still in town?" Ignoring her lies, Sakura continued to force an answer out.
" YES, now please go away!" satisfied with the answer, the pinked hair girl bowed and muttered a thanks before heading off. She smiled in relief, as long as they are still in town she could possibly meet them again.
Now after knowing they are ok and still within the search range, Sakura could start focusing on her other things, a place to stay and registration for school.
As she walked down the street she looked over the map to locate the nearest high school within the area. And luckily there is only one high school around this place.
Konoha High.
High school life with her friends, Sakura smiled a little when she thought of the life she might have. As she make her walk towards the school, the girl asked around the people if they know anything about the two big houses down the street or if they knew anyone named Uchiha or Uzumaki, but they all gave her a scary look and said they don't know anything.
So this is Konoha High. Sakura took a long look at the huge building. Five story high along with a soccer, baseball, and football field. Damn, they even have a swimming pool half the size of the whole school. The girl sweat drop when she thought about the price she might need to enroll.
Today is Tuesday, a few weeks after school has already started, she hope she could catch up with others if she can afford this place. Everyone is having class right now, so she quietly walked up the stairs and passed the hall to the office. On her way, she shivered when she heard some weird shouting and screaming inside certain classrooms.
She couldn't make out what they were saying but it sounded like they were having fun.
When she arrived in the office on the third floor, Sakura knocked softly before the principle permited her to come in.
"Umm…." Sakura struggled as she tried to avoid all the documents and junks on the floor. Papers were all over the place with cup noodles half eaten and some were even spilled on the red carpet.
She looked at the principle who was hidden among a bunch of papers.
"Excuse me?" Sakura called out for her attention when the lady doesn't seem to notice her.
"Hm?" A young woman with pretty blonde hair looked up from her work.
"Hi, my name is Sakura, I was wondering is it possible for me to enroll as soon as possible?" She asked politely. "Oh, and here are my information." She handed the lady her pass records in school and her personal information.
"Yes! Of course, you can enroll anytime you want." She replied with a quite joyful tone before looking at Sakura's profile.
"Ano...can I ask how much is the school fee." Sakura prayed it would be an amount she could afford. She was poor and she needed every penny to support herself. For a high school student to live by herself, she needed to be as frugal as possible. Even though she has 4 jobs a day in Hokkaido, that money was barely enough if she wanted to live in this big city.
"Umm, I see you have excellent performance in your previous school. And you are even the champion in taekwondo, Karate, gymnasium, soccer, basketball, etc….?!" The principle's eyes widen in disbelief as she flipped through all the awards Sakura has.
"I played for school team sometimes, and I had a good shishou who taught me taekwondo." Sakura smiled as she saw the resemblance between her shishou and the principle.
"The price..." She tried again when the principle was still busy looking over her records.
" I will grant you a scholarship."She smiled as she handed Sakura's stuff back." My name is Tsunade, the principle of the school, I'm looking forward towards your performance this year." She held out her hand, which Sakura quickly shook and thanked her for her generosity.
" You can start school tomorrow morning, and your class will be..." Tsunade went over to look at some papers. "Oh god," she cursed quietly.
"Your class will be Class 3-5, (sigh), sorry this is the only available class." She looked down as if she's worry about something.
"Thank you so much!" Sakura thank her once more wondering why she was apologizing.
"It's just someone die-, I mean passed away recently." She said sadly. "So we have more spots in that class."Tsunade lean back on the chair with a heavily sigh.
"Your uniform is located next door." She pointed to her left. "And I hope to see you tomorrow, don't be late." She waved as Sakura headed out the door.
Once the door was close, Tsunade looked at the classroom list again with a worry expression. "Please, don't go against them."
The uniform is pretty; in fact, this is the first time she received one, back in Hokkaido, school uniform was too expensive for her to afford so she never asked for one, but maybe just a little, she wanted to tried how it would feel like to own one. The white collar shirt was pair up with a rose color red tie. The skirt is in the same shades of red adorned with black strips across the bottom and the top making perfect squares across the fabric. Though the outfit was really beautiful, the skirt was too short for her liking, it barely reached her mid thigh showing too much.
Just when she was about to step out the gate, a sound of window shattering made her turned getting her attention. She stared at the broken window from the third floor for a second before a table was flung out breaking the remaining glass around it. The pinked hair girl flinched when the table landed loudly.
Part of her wanted to know what was going on, but despite her curiosity, she can't go and interrupt the class right now. And plus, she has much more to do than getting herself in the class's business. Snapping herself out of the thought, she head off towards the street hoping to find a good deal of apartment for her to stay and some jobs to manage her expense.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
The noise of frustration rang painfully in her ears as the girl attempt to blocked out it out with her pillow.
Few more minutes... She mumbled lightly to herself.
Yesterday was a long day, after a tiresome search for a decent price apartment, Sakura has finally found a place to stay. The apartment was old with a barely covered roof, there is no warm water, but it doesn't matter, she never asked for much anyway. A roof is better than none. When she trained with her shishou, the waterfall part was always the hardest for her when she was so sensitive against the cold. But after a while she has gotten used to it.
The alarm ring again for a long, long time.
And this time she surprisingly managed to get up. Running her hands over the table to grab the alarm clock, the pinked hair girl sat up and yawned sleepily as she run her hands through her messy pink her. First day of school she can't be late.
Sakura yawned for the fifth time in 5 minutes and finally forced herself out of the comfortable bed. Grabbing the clock she looked at it for a second and rubbed her sleepy eyes again so she hasn't mistaken the number. 7:30? Ugrgghh I needa hurry… wait, She took a closer look when she realized something is not right.
WAIT! Dammit, is already 8:30!
Cursing inwardly, she quickly got herself off the bed and headed towards the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. 5 minutes are more than enough for a so un-girly girl.
8:36, Sakura has already rushed out almost breaking the door when she slammed it shut. If it wasn't for the rush she would have like to act more normal instead of jumping over people's roof while the kids on the streets pointed at her. They probably think she was a weirdo.
But thanks to her flexibility, jumping on trees or leaping over walls is a piece of cake. At 8:50, she's already in the hall to her classroom 3-5.
ummmhh, I am so late…. Sakura thought as she panted heavily after a long run. She took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat down before putting a smile back onto her face. Ok, here I come.
"Good morn-" The moment she opened the door, a person who seems like a teacher, ran out with teary eyes and a black bruise on his cheek; Sakura was quick enough to avoid the contact or she might have been knocked flat on the floor.
"Iruka-sensei?" She watched him to see if he was the teacher assigned to her. He did turn slightly but barely a second before he ran away.
"Guys, p-p-p-please go back t-to your s-sit," Iruka begin with a shaky voice. He loved being a teacher, but being the teacher of class 3-5 is just too much for him. Or too much for anyone. "C-class has already b-began 40 minutes a-ago." Most of the time he wouldn't be like this, but when they show up, all he could was watch out for his own life.
Two kings, is what people called them. Rich, powerful, genius, gorgeous, and SADIST are the best words to describe the two.
Trouble and only trouble will there be when they are here.
From the back of the room, a poor student begged for help but no one did of course considering who he got himself involved with. Daichi, who accidently bumped into the devil ruler's desk earlier, got himself in some deep trouble.
To them, he was a new toy to mess with.
"Tie him up." The boy with dark raven-hair commanded while lazily lean back on his chair.
Sweat beads started to form on Daichi's head as he sensed the danger coming. He screamed and attempted to make a run but too bad the whole class even his best friends would betray him when he order.
The king's order is absolute.
King one: Uchiha Sasuke, 17, the world's biggest underground business leader. Dark- raven hair with murderous glare that could sent people to hell.
King two: Uzumaki Naruto,17, also the world's biggest underground business leader, work side by side with the Uchiha but too lazy to care about it. Human game, is all he cares about.
"Didn't we play this game already?" Uzumaki Naruto looked at Daichi with disgust as he putted his legs on the table and hands behind his head.
"Is fun." Uchiha Sasuke held out his hand and one of the students brought a few knifes over.
"That's true." The blondie smirked when Daichi started to cry like some sissy girl.
The poor boy knew he won't get any chance, these two devils only enjoy seeing people in pain. The more pain there are, the more exciting they gets.
"I-Iruka-sensei…. Save me…." Daichi bursted out in tears while looking at Iruka for any sign of help.
Iruka hesitated for a second before he took a few steps forward until he was standing in front the Uchiha. "P-please l-l-let Daichi-kun g-go." He managed to spit out those words through his shaking teeth.
Sasuke continue to fondle the knife without bothering to glance at his teacher.
"I-" one of the students went over and landed a bruising punch on the teacher's face knocking him down on his rear." FUCKING ANNOYING, DIDN'T YOU SEE UCHIHA-SAN WAS HAVING FUN?!" Okuma Aki, one of Sasuke and Naurto's loyal servants cracked his knuckle while getting ready to send another blow.
"Ano, Iruka teacher, can you stop shoving your ass in our business?" Naruto inhaled a cigarette and blow the smoke onto Iruka's face.
On the other chair, Sasuke look down on him with an annoyed face before taking the cigarette from his mouth and rubbed the burning part against Iruka's hand.
He yelped in pain.
"Do you want to die?" He glared at him with dangerous eyes. The teacher scrambled back in fear, if they said it, they meant it. Iruka's eyes started to water and before he knew, he found himself running away from their terrifying aura.
He quickly slide the door open, not daring to look back. He was so fast that he almost crashed into the pink hair girl standing at the door.
"Iruka-sensei?" Turning slightly as she called his name, Iruka knew she must be the new student. But too bad his heart was in too much fear that he doesn't care about anything anymore.
This poor girl will be another victim.
Where is he going? Sakura watched the teacher with a questionable look while he ran down the stairs.
Brushing off the thought, she peek her head inside the chaotic classroom. Everyone was standing in the back of the room, their back facing her. They seem to be having fun in whatever they were doing so she took a step forward trying to see what they were looking at. Too bad her height was not helping her.
"Good morning guys! I am-"
"SHIT, teme, let me do the next one!" Her words were interrupted.
Curiosity hit her again, is it really that fun? Sakura turned around and hopped onto a desk so she can get a better view over the crowd.
At first she thought something was wrong with her eyes, but when a loud cry burst out from the guy on the wall, her heart felt heavy.
"W-What are you doing!?" Sakura quickly pushed herself towards the bleeding boy. He was in a really bad shape when she released him from the binds. A few knifes were stabbed into his arms and legs; his face was barely identifiable with all the purple bruises on it.
If Sasuke wanted, he could have aimed at Daichi's head or heart, but what fun does it fun if his toy is game over so easily?
The students looked at her with horror as she untied Daichi and laid him down on the floor. Does she not know who she just pissed off?
The two figures sat still staring at her as she fixed up Daichi, her back facing them. This woman has probably lost her mind getting so smart interrupting their fun.
Still holding onto the knife, Sasuke guess he will have to deal with this new target then. He threw it hard against the pinked hair woman not even bother aiming.
Sakura's eye twitched as she sensed the object flying towards her. Would waiting a second kill them? She cursed inwardly. She caught the knife with a simple shift but obviously unhappy at what he was doing.
The class watched with mouths dropped open.
"Can you seriously not wait a second, I'm busy." Anger filled her tone as she tried to pull the knifes off of the boy's arm.
Daichi shook as he watched Sakura treat his wounds."Don't, Don't…" He pushed away Sakura's hand.
Getting save by a girl? What might they do to him after this? This kind of pain is nothing compare to the ones they make when they are serious.
"D-Don't, don't interfere the kings." Daichi wrapped his hands around his head trying to hide from the Uchiha.
Sakura found herself biting her lower lip when she watched the poor boy cry.
Isn't this clearly human abuse? Anger flushed up to her face, "Are you fucking out of your mind?!" She turned to face the so-call kings with frustrated eyes, but the moment she did, she was meet by their familiar eyes.
This is impossible. Her heart beat painfully against her ribs.
"Naruto….Sasuke" No this is not them, they wouldn't do it. They wouldn't. But the facts lied clearly in front of her.
Naruto still has the prettiest blond hair she had ever seemed, but the aura he was giving out was not the warm one she remembered. It felt so…so strange. He smirked as he looked down at her.
Sasuke's hair was longer, his face was more define and more gorgeous, gorgeous enough to make girls faint just by looking. But for some reason, she doesn't like it. He felt so different. His eyes too, the brightness was gone, there is only a hollow and a feeling of emptiness in those dark orbs.
The Uchiha looked annoyed while Naruto sat lazily in the chair with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. He didn't say anything and just stared at her.
"Who are you?" His words ring painfully in her ears.
Leave me review :)
