AN: So while I am waiting for my editor to become less busy, I decided I will write a different story till then please enjoy this story and please review! I want criticism or encouragement for this story!
Ps. If you already don't know anything in Italic writing is Sakura's thoughts.
I do not own Naruto!
I woke up to a loud buzzing sound in my ear. "Ugh! Why can't I get some decent sleep?" I mumbled to myself and smack the alarm clock off. I rubbed my eyes to make my sight more clear. Only after I finished I noticed the time. In bright neon red lights the clock read seven am. "Shit!" I shot up out of bed and ran towards the bathroom. Well now I don't have time for a shower, but atleast I can at least look some what decent. I quickly brushed down my birds nest of supposed pink hair. I swear no matter how much I can love my hair for being pink, it loves to make me think I should get a buzzcut.
I quickly brushed my teeth then applied some eyeliner and pink lip gloss. I then ran back to my room and rummaged through my closet. Where is it! I know I took it out last night! There it is! I grabbed my favorite band tee. I threw it on quickly with some torn skinny jeans and some what worn out converse. I turned and looked at the clock on my night stand. SHIT! I can not be late on the first day! I grabbed my bag and bolted out the front door completely forgetting about eating a light breakfast.
"Sakura-chan!" a loud blonde boy yelled while running towards me I stopped so he can catch up. "Naruto! You woke up late to?" I asked him while reaching for his hand. Once I felt his warm hand in mine I took off running with him right next to me. "Sakura we will never get there on time with how you are moving!" Naruto said with a small chuckle. I just turned to glare at him. He suddenly stopped and held my hand tight so I wouldn't leave without him. Now what is he doing?! We don't have time for this!
Naruto just bent down almost like he was trying to do a squat. "Naruto! We don't have time for this! Come on get up so we can go!". He just looked up at me and smiled his mila-watt smile. "Get on! I can run faster than you and we can get there on time with you on my back" He beamed. Well I can't argue with his logic. Yea of course he can run faster than me but I am catching up. Naruto looked at the confused expression I wore on my face and started to laugh."Hurry up Sakura-chan, with you standing there we will be late!" After he said that I took his bag and held it while I climbed onto his back.
Once Naruto secured me on his back he took off. Great now my hair is going to be even more messed up. Oh well Ino will probably fix it anyways. After a few minutes of running we finally reached Konoha high. "Dobe" Sasuke sneared. "Teme" Naruto beamed. Sasuke still had his stoic expression on his face while leaning on the front gate of the school. Aw how cute Sasuke waited for us. "Okay Naruto you can let me down now so we can get to our classes." I whispered in his ear. Naruto just turned his head slightly and that is when I saw his mischievous grin. Oh no! It's only the first day being a high school student and he is already going to make a scene. "Sasuke!" I yelled and reached for him but Naruto just ran past him.
While Naruto ran to the auditorium with me on his back I noticed how many confused stares we got. Finally we are here now I will show Naruto never pull a stunt like that again unless I am in on it! Naruto stopped and loosened his grip which was his mistake. I quickly climbed off of him and punched him hard on his head. "Naruto you idiot! Now there will be a bunch of rumors about us already!" I yelled. When Sasuke finally caught up to us he only chuckled at Naruto rubbing his head. "Come on before you guys really make us late" I audibly sighed and helped Naruto up. Us three will take this school by storm and leave our legacies! We walked into the auditorium and took seats.

After a couple hours of boring school rules and how us freshman should act we finally got to go to our classes. To my surprise Naruto was in the same class with Sasuke and I. This will be easier to take over than I thought. We shall be known as the cool freshman from class 1-1! "Hey forehead!" Ino yelled with a smile on her face all the while walking into the classroom."What do you want pig?". Ino smile only got more vicious "Well I heard a certain pink haired sure made an entrance today and caught the eye of a few upperclassmen" Ino slowly made her way to a seat right in front of me. I got flicked on the forehead which broke me out of my shocked trance. "Hey?!" I glared at Sasuke as he took a seat to my left. "You idiot!" Sasuke said in annoyance.
What did I do?! I did nothing! It was all Naruto and his childish ways! I turned to my head to a loud sigh and Shikamaru walked in "So troublesome" he mumbled. Right after he walked in Naruto came bolting in the room and ran to the empty seat to my right. "SAKURA!" he gasped for air while I plugged my ears. "Naruto lower your voice!" I hissed at him. He quickly calmed down. "Sorry" he said while rubbing the back of his head."It's just that there is quite a few men looking for us." He said with nervousness. What has got Naruto all shaking up? So what if a few guys are looking for us. It's not like we can't fight for ourselves. "So? You act like we can't take care of them if they attack us" I mumbled. "And that is why you are an idiot." Sasuke intervened. I turned and glared hard at him which didn't affect him. "It's the Akatsuki that is looking for you" He finished. WHAT! "Naruto! What did you do?!" I screamed.
I heard a roaring girly laughter coming from in front of me. Oh yeah Ino is still here maybe she will know what is going on. I looked at Ino and calmly said "Ino if you have something to share that we do not know then please leave this to us". It only made her laugh more by now she was clutching her sides and almost off the chair. Shikamaru stepped in and fixed Ino in her seat. Shika! He will definitely know what is going on! "Hey Shika" I purred. Yeah I know flirting doesn't affect him but it was still fun to do. "Shika you got to help us! I didn't mean for any of this to happen!" Naruto basically yelled again. "Naruto!" I hissed while Shikamaru sighed. "You guys are so troublesome. Here I thought I can finally get a normal school year."
"Hey!" Ino and Naruto yelled at the same time. Sasuke is just listening to everything not saying anything. I guess that means he doesn't know what is going on even though his brother is in the Akatsuki. "Shika if you know anything please tell Naruto and I" I asked. "Hey what about me?!" Ino screeched. Shikamaru sighed and rubbed his temples. "You did NOT hear this from me!" he glared at Ino to make sure she got it. We all leaned in towards Shikamaru so he could not run away from this and us. Naruto grabbed his shoulder for insurance. "Well since the Akatsuki heard about you three before even coming here they decided to keep an eye on you guys, and make sure you didn't cause problems when you got here"
What does he mean by problems? We just stood up for ourselves and people weaker than us! How the hell is that causing problems?! "What do you mean by problems?" Sasuke asked keeping the same monotone voice which caused me to roll my eyes. "Problems as in starting unnecessary trouble.". "Okay class in your seats! So we can get this over with!" A booming voice cut in. That voice sounds awfully familiar. The students sat down and waited. When the teacher walked in and I noticed the silver hair I went into shock. Kakashi-sensei? What is he doing here?! Apparently I wasn't the only one in shock Sasuke and Naruto were also in shock. "Oh well I see I have my favorite students again." Kakashi said playfully which snapped all three of us out our trance. "Tch" Sasuke said while looking out the window.

Finally we get away from Kaka-Sensei. Oh boy if he heard me call him that we would have ended up "sparring"again. I sighed while walking in between Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto just looked at me "You-". "Hey you three! Stop!" I turned to look who called us out and went into shock again but this time it was seeing such a handsome face. Wow! would you look at all those piercings! Why would he want to cover his handsome face? This time my train of thought ended when I saw Sasuke stiffen "Naruto, get Sakura and go to spot 3" Sasuke whispered to Naruto. What is going on? Before I can say it outloud the handsome redhead started walking towards us. That is when Naruto picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and took off faster than he usually ran. Sasuke was right next to Naruto. "Naruto!" I yelled trying to get off of him but he just held me tighter around my lower back.
Sasuke turned on a different corridor. "Sakura do not scream or hit at me please, We will explain what happened in spot 3" Naruto said softly. Aw Naruto can sure be sweet sometimes. I looked up and saw the redhead running after us. "Naruto I promise I will not scream or hit you, but we need an escape route cause he is right behind us". Naruto then turned and did Sasuke's signature 'tsk'. That means he has no plan on how to get out. I quickly looked around and saw an open window coming up. We are on the second floor, The fall won't be bad for both of us if he was not holding me. "Naruto the window coming up, it won't be bad if you let me go. You can pick me up again after" I told him to which he only nodded.
Naruto threw me out the window and right after threw himself after "Sorry Sakura-chan!" I heard him yell. I twisted in the air and landed on my feet only to do a roll to get out of Naruto's way. Seconds after Naruto landed and rolled near me only to scoop me back up and take off running again. I looked up to the window we just jumped out of and saw the red head boy look pissed off. I hope this doesn't count as starting problems. I want to stay away from the Akatsuki as long as I can. Naruto ran into another building which held the gym. He started to run towards the gym but stopped once he saw Sasuke 'talking' to two of our seniors. He looks pissed. We better stop this before anything happens.
"Naruto" I whispered only for him to nod and put me down. We walked up to Sasuke only for the two seniors to look down on us. 'Tsk' Who do they think they are looking to like that?! "Teme, what a surprise. These you new friends?" Naruto quipped. I only watched as a group of three sophomores walked towards us. Great so much for keeping low for a couple weeks. The group of sophomores stopped to watch us. "Naruto, Sasuke remember spot three now" I muttered. "Where do you think I was going?! These-" Sasuke stopped to glare at the two seniors. "Won't let us go pass" he finished. Oh so they wanted to treat us like that?! My boys and me?! Well we will just have to show them who they decided to mess with!
I stepped backwards towards the sophomores and Naruto soon followed once he saw I wasn't next to him. The sophomores just watched us, taking in everything they saw us do. "Teme" Naruto encouraged. "Sasuke just make it quick before we get caught." I mumbled. "Hn" was all he said before he went to block the guys kick with his own kick. They never met each other, one of the sophomores was in the middle of them holding their legs. What?! When the hell did he get there?! I looked to Naruto and saw his eyes like big from shock. "I thought the plan was to lay low?" A husky voice cut in. I turned to look at the boy with long brown hair and pale lavender eyes. Well atleast my eyes aren't the only weird ones. "But they were going to fight!" I turned to the voice and saw a guy with a green jumpsuit and really bushy brows. Oh my god! I hope Ino never mets him. I would feel bad for him. Wait!
"Who are you guys?" I asked. "I am TenTen, this is Neji and that is Rock Lee" The girl with twin buns on her head said. "Call me Hyuuga, And it is only proper for you to give us your guys names in return" Neji said stoically. "Naruto" I pointed to the blonde boy who was still staring at Lee holding Sasuke's and the other guys leg. "That is Sasuke and I am Sakura". "Can you let go of my leg?" Sasuke asked. Lee let go but stayed between them. Oh shit we need to go, I am sure that guy will find us soon. "Sasuke, Naruto. Come on we can just move past them. I have a feeling that guy will be here soon." I said while grabbing Naruto by his arm and pulling him past the two seniors and into the gym. Sasuke was right behind us but he wasn't the only one. "Sakura-chan! My what a lovely name you have it fits your flower of youth!"
Flower of youth? What the hell was up with this guy?. We did not go to our spot since we did not want them to see it. "Naruto how did you escape?" Sasuke asked. Naruto was out of it only Kami knows what he is thinking about now. "Well he kinda ran into a corridor he didn't know so we jumped out the second story window." I explained only to get shocked looks from Neji and TenTen. While Lee was just looking at me like I was a god, which only sent shivers down my spine. "So care to explain why we ran from that guy? I'm pretty sure us three could hav-". "No we wouldn't have and because he is the leader of Akatsuki" Sasuke interrupted. My jaw hung up which seemed to bring Naruto back down to earth. Neji, TenTen and Lee were just as shocked as I was
The leader of Akatsuki was chasing us?! Now we are so dead! They probably went to Ino since she can't keep her big mouth shut! We have to leave and keep moving so we won't get caught! I started going through escape routes in my head if we were to get caught. "What does he want from you guys?" Lee asked. "Sasuke we have to move! Now! He saw which building we went into!" I yelled in panic. "Hn" was his reply so I pulled Naruto to leave. "Wait?! We will accompany you so you can escape. But please inform us why you are running from him." Neji practically yelled which surprised TenTen. "That's the thing we do not know what he wants from us. We were informed earlier that the Akatsuki is looking for us and we don't plan on finding out what he wants". Okay now it was my turn to be shocked. That is the most Sasuke said to other people besides Naruto and I.
"We can not go back to our lockers till we know for sure they have left the building. Naruto and Sasuke I think it is best if you two stayed the night at my house for a few days and till we know what they want Sasuke you will stay with one of us." I told them my hasty plan but they had agreed. "Sakura-chan! May I stay with such a youthful flower till this blows over?!" Lee asked excitedly while walking on his hands. TenTen just pushed him "Lee we do not know them and Neji we should leave them be the Akatsuki will probably come after us as well if we try to help them!" TenTen pleaded. Neji just denied the idea of leaving us alone. So Lee jumped in the air with a fist raised high. TenTen looked defeated but said nothing more.
Why are they following us? It's so weird we don't even know them! Naruto seemed to know what I was thinking like always. "Wanna ditch every one and go to our place and spar?" He whispered in my ear. I nodded which Naruto crouched over and I climbed onto his back. He took off like he was running from that leader guy again which made me laugh as we ran passed a confused Sasuke. "Hurry Naruto before Sasuke figures out with left him with those weird people." I whispered in his ear. Naruto grew a mischievous grin and took his speed even faster.
After a few minutes of running Naruto finally put me down and started panting. "Jeez Sakura You get heavier every day". I could feel my eye twitch as I punched him hard on the top of his head. "What was that Naruto?!". He backed up and started to sputter out apologizes. "Sakura I was only kidding. You know you will always look gorgeous and weigh nothing to me!" He yelled while panicking. I could only laugh at how worked up he gets. Of Course I know what you think of me Naruto, how can I not when you tell me every day!But I still have to punish you for saying it in the first place! "Just you wait till we get to our spot Naruto then I won't be so easy than! Now get up and lets go before Sasuke finds us!" He nodded and got back up and we started walking to our favorite place to spar.

We walked up to Naruto's house and as we walked up to the door I noticed something coming towards us. I shoved Naruto out the way and pushed myself back and heard as a ninja star whiz past. "Sakura what the hell?!" Naruto yelled while picking himself up. "Oh its just you two" a firm voice said. I turned towards Naruto and glared at him. "Naruto! What is he doing here! I do not want to be around him!" I yelled while pointing to the man. "Sakura-chan! I swear I did not know he was going to be here!" Naruto pleaded. I sighed and rubbed the bridge of my nose. "Naruto I thought you wouldn't bring me here when he was visiting?!"
