Sakura is apart of the new real world cast; The Real World: Konoha. This is a true story... of nine strangers... picked to live in a house... work together...and have their lives taped... find out what happens... when people stop being polite... and start getting real…. Real World Konoha.

I've had this story in my head for a long time now; I thought it would be the perfect holiday present to my readers. :) I hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto; MTV owns the real world series

She took in a deep breath; she had applied several weeks ago, and wasn't quite sure she'd be accepted. It was clear from the audition that only seven, maybe eight, people would be asked to participate; Sakura hoped she would be one of the lucky few…

She had auditioned for a spot on MTV's Real World series; one of her friends had practically forced Sakura to try out with her… How she loved Ino.

Sakura took a deep breath, and then started to open the letter. Pink was an uncommon color for hair, but it allowed Sakura to be more memorable. The pink was also natural; she didn't know how to explain that one…

Her luscious emerald eyes glistened with hope as she took out the letter. MTV said she would be getting a letter no matter what; Sakura just hoped the letter would be the good kind, and not the bad.

Sakura opened the letter carefully, almost as if it was something precious to her. Before she could even start to read the letter, her telephone started to ring.

"Sakura Haruno, speaking," Sakura answered the phone quickly.

"Sakura Haruno," the voice said. "I'm assuming you have read the letter from MTV and know you are one of the few we have requested to join the cast."

Sakura took in a deep breath. "Actually I hadn't finished opening the letter yet," she was suddenly out of breath.

"Oh, you hadn't?" the voice said almost sheepishly. "I'm sorry for the trouble. I am Minato Namikaze, and will be the director of the Real World Konoha. You along with eight other people will be invited to Konoha, Japan."

"Wow," Sakura was still breathless. "Thank you very much."

"Get ready to leave in three weeks," Minato said; Sakura could practically hear the smile in his voice. "Congratulations Ms. Haruno."

It had been three weeks, and Sakura was now in the airport. She felt almost stupid with so many cameras following her, but she hoped she would get used to it.

For luggage, the pink haired woman, had a backpack on, and was rolling a dark blue luggage case; she figured that would be enough.

Walking through the airport, she was amazed at all the wondrous things Japan seemed to provide; she almost couldn't breath noticing all the good looking people around her.

"Ms. Sakura," one of the camera men called to her. Sakura nodded her head and looked back at him. "We have a taxi waiting for you at the door; we will have to go and pick up another person before we are able to go to the house."

"I understand," Sakura said with a smile. She walked out of the airport, and walked into the taxi cab the camera man pointed to. Sakura sat down, and smiled to the cab driver.

"I think we're going to Konoha State Park," Sakura said as she read it off of the note she had in her hands.

"Hai," the taxi cab driver responded. Sakura blushed when realized the cab driver already knew. She took in a deep breath, and decided to enjoy the scenery Konoha provided.

It was beautiful; Sakura decided. Konoha was filled with many trees, and several smaller buildings. Taking a breath, Sakura felt the taxi cab stop. She slowly opened the door and jumped out.

She noticed a dark raven haired man sketching something. The man had several pieces of luggage around him; Sakura figured he would be the one she was here to pick up.

"Hello," she said with a smile as she approached him. "I'm Sakura Haruno and I believe we are both going to be in the Real World together."

The man looked up; he had endless dark eyes. "I am Sai Uzutake," the man said as he stood. "It's nice to meet you, Ugly."

Sakura almost blanched, but shook his hand nonetheless. "Do you live here in Japan, Sai?" she asked as they started to walk back to their taxi.

"No," Sai said with a large grin. It looked fake to Sakura, almost too wide of a grin. "I just didn't want to wait for you to arrive at the airport."

"I guess that's understandable," Sakura said as Sai let her enter the taxi first. He followed behind her, and the taxi started going again. "I wouldn't have wanted to wait in the airport any longer than necessary; did I notice you drawing?"

"Yes," Sai said with a little more emotion. "Drawing helps sooth my soul."

"That was really deep," Sakura commented silently as she stared out her window again. She watched the buildings of Konoha slowly move further and further away from each other, and then she didn't notice any more at all. "Are we living in the country?"

"Hai," the taxi driver said. He motioned to the next driveway, and pulled up into it. Sakura's mouth dropped at the beautifully large mansion she would be staying in.

The outside of the large house was made purely of logs and stone, and seemed to make the mansion look even more inviting. There were trees surrounding the estate, and even a little pond was not far off.

"It's beautiful," Sakura breathed out. She looked to her companion next to her, only to see him sketching fervently. "Would you like to accompany me inside, Sai?"

"I'll look inside later, Ugly," Sai commented. Sakura just nodded, already used to the nickname for some reason, and started to walk to the door.

She opened it, and walked inside. Her mouth opened to a slight "o" as she looked at the interior. The room she walked into was a great entry way; there was a hot tub in the middle of the room, and Sakura also noticed a long spiral staircase leading upstairs somewhere.

She walked through the front room, and into a very large living room. She couldn't help but smile noticing the comfortable looking couches that resided in there. She walked quickly to the next room, and noticed it was a large gourmet kitchen.

"This is bigger than my apartment," Sakura commented under her breath.

"That was my first reaction," Sakura heard a feminine voice speak from next to her. She turned to see a beautiful brunette woman. Her eyes were teal, and her hair was spiked up into four pony tails. "I'm Temari."

"Sakura," Sakura stated while shaking Temari's hand. Temari smirked, and practically dragged Sakura out the kitchen room.

"I think I'm going to really like ya, Sak," Temari said as the two bounded up the spiral staircase. "So we should naturally share a room together."

"Agreed," Sakura said with a smile. She and Temari ran down the hallway into the last room. "It so large!"

"I know," Temari said with a smirk. "I think it's the biggest of the bedrooms, so I took it first. Sasori really didn't seem to complain anyways."

"Sasori?" Sakura questioned as she laid on her soon to be bed.

"Oh right," Temari said while slapping her forehead. "I forgot to tell you about Sasori; he's the one that I met when I first got here. He's going to be staying with us too."

"That reminds me," Sakura said as she stood up. "Sai is outside drawing; he and I came here together, too."

"I guess we should go meet-"

"That is not art!" A loud voice boomed throughout the house.

"Don't even start with me Deidara," a softer, yet still loud voice spoke back. "Art is not fleeting; I find Sai-san's drawing to be beautiful."

"It would be beautiful if it would just blow up!" The first voice yelled again.

"Well the second voice is Sasori," Temari commented as she and Sakura began heading down the stairs. "I'm not quite sure who the first voice was…"

Once they reached the bottom stair, Sakura blinked rather confusedly. "Ino?" She asked loudly.

The group of three turned towards her; one was Sai, one was a red head, and one was a blonde.

Sakura flung herself at the blonde and squeezed tightly. "I didn't know if you made it or not, Ino!" Sakura said with a smile. She was confused when the blonde's hands didn't hug her back.

"Who's Ino?" The blonde's voice was masculine; definitely not Ino's. Sakura blushed and pried herself away from the male blonde in front of her.

"Ha ha," Sakura said rather sheepishly. "Sorry… It's just you look so much like my friend Ino."

"Ino being a girl?" the blonde man asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Ha, yeah," Sakura said before looking to the red head. "I'm Sakura."

"Sasori," the red head commented quietly. There was a smirk on his face as he looked back toward the blonde. "I told you, you looked feminine, Deidara."

"I do not!" Deidara yelled at Sasori. Deidara's cheeks blushed a dark red. "I'm not girly…"

"What's with all the commotion?" A new voice asked as the door to the house opened. Sakura blinked once before she flung herself once again, at the person.

"Ino!" Sakura said happily as she squeezed the blonde haired woman.

"Sakura!" Ino squeezed her back tightly. "I'm so glad you're here!"

Sakura pulled herself away from Ino, and tugged her over to the group. "This is my friend, Ino," Sakura said while she placed Ino right in front of Deidara. The two blinked before Deidara smirked.

"I've never met such an attractive woman before," Deidara said while taking Ino's hand. He kissed it, and stared into her eyes.

Ino's cheeks blushed a pretty red, and she smiled back at the blonde haired man. "Nor have I met more of a beautiful man."

"It's like looking in the mirror," someone commented dully from behind the group. Sakura turned around to see a brunette headed male; he had two tattoos. They were both red triangles on his cheeks. "It's almost sick."

"Agreed," Sasori commented from next to the new male. "Sasori, by the way."

"I'm Kiba," the tattooed male said. He smirked at seeing both Temari and Sakura. "And I do say that I am beginning to love Konoha."

Temari smirked back, and waved. "I'm Temari," Temari stated flirtatiously. "This is Sakura, Sai, Deidara, and-"

"Ino," Kiba said with a sigh. "I had to wait for her at the bus station. How many more people do we have to wait for?"

"Two," Sakura said while counting her fingers. "Do you think they'll be here soon?"

"Dunno," Kiba commented. His stomach growled causing him to smirk. "Where can a guy find something to eat around here?"

"I'll help you to the kitchen," Temari said. She took Kiba's hand and they walked over to the gourmet kitchen.

"I HAVE ARRIVED!" A loud voice yelled as the front door opened again. A blonde haired man practically sprinted inside the house.

"Shut up," A voice complained behind him. A long dark haired male followed closely behind him; he appeared to be scowling.

"Um," Sakura started when the blonde's attention moved to her. His eyes glistened, and he raced towards her.

"You are just so cute!" The blonde yelled as he scooped Sakura up in his arms. Sakura's eyes widened, and soon she was being flung into the air, by the blonde male's arms. "I'm Naruto, and I want you to be my girlfriend."

The brunette long haired male came up behind Naruto, and punched him in the face. Naruto had been able to throw Sakura up in the air, and now she was falling hard. The long brown haired man caught her with ease.

"I am Neji," he stated casually as he set Sakura down on the ground. "Sorry about the idiot… I've had to deal with him all day."

Sakura giggled as she watched Naruto lay on the ground; he had probably fainted. "I'm Sakura," Sakura said while shaking Neji's hand. "Looks like everyone's here."

Neji glanced toward the middle of the room, and Sakura noticed he was staring at Ino and Deidara. "Don't mind them," Sakura stated with a smile. "It appears love at first sight is actually true."

"It appears so," Neji commented quietly as he followed the pink haired woman further into the home.
