A Chance to Change
Chapter 5-In Fear and Faith
"Just leave it Sasuke," Sakura said while walking away, this time though, Sasuke didn't stop her but watched her as she walked away.
After Sakura reached her house and got settled on the couch, she sighed. Her mind was plagued with thoughts again, and they weren't pretty. They were gory and gruesome memories. People, family actually, lied around her. They were bloodied, none of them having a pulse. All she could do was cry, since she had only been 3 years old. That actually, had been the day that she had been stolen from her parents, who were carried away by their friends. Sakura never blamed them for her leaving because she knew, she knew that they had not been given a choice. Their friends wanted to get them safe first and come back for her later, but she wasn't there, she had been brought to Konoha.
Sakura had to blink a few times before she could see. She yawned and stretched. After deflating she threw her legs off the side of the bed and stood up, stretching again. She walked over to her dresser and pulled a few things out. After putting the clothes on, she grabbed her head band and wrapped it around her neck. Before she left, she examined herself in her long mirror. She had on a navy blue skirt that was a bit short, but not too short, with a slit on one side, a black fishnet shirt underneath her dark red jacket that cut off right above her belly button and went out behind her reaching a bit bellow her knees in the back. The jacket had been slit in the back through the middle going from the bottom. The bottom had been framed with white and was lined with a diamond shape and the collar of her jacket had the same design. The jacket wasn't zipped all the way up though so it seemed like it was a v-neck, this also helped people see that she was a Konoha ninja. Under her skirt she wore short leggings that ended just above her knee. Her footwear had been a very simple pair of dark red ninja sandals.
Sakura then touched her hair and then started messing it around. She then just stared at her hair in the mirror. All she could think was 'Why won't my hair get messy, so weird' Then she chuckled to herself before walking out of her room. She walked down her steps before entering the kitchen, in which still smelt a little bloody. She then continued on her journey to grab a dango, which she had recently bought a box of, and proceeded out the door, with the dango in her mouth.
While Sakura walked down the street, she would examine the shops and other buildings around her. Sakura couldn't even remember the last time Konoha looked so peaceful. It had felt so weird without the people trying to fix up buildings, and gennin running around doing missions to help clean the village up. It wasn't like she was complaining, if anything she was happy to see her home like this. It was just that she knew it wasn't going to last long, so she wanted to take everything in before it went away.
Before she knew it, she was standing at the doors to the academy. All she could do was sigh and enter. When Sakura reached her classroom, she entered and ignored any stares, glares, or anything else the bashed at her. All she did was stare at the board. Something didn't feel right to her and she did not like the feeling. Before anyone could annoy her and ask her questions, which she knew were probably about her parents deaths, she walked down towards Irukas desk. Everyone in the classroom stopped talking to look at what the pinkette was doing. Sakura was staring at the board.
'Why do I have a really bad feeling, and why does it happen to be coming from the chalk board.'
'I don't know maybe it's because if you don't move out of the way something is going to make you go flying.'
'Fuck.'
Sakura then quickly side-stepped just in time to miss the hit that was coming for her face.
"What. The. Fuck!" Sakura yelled
"I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!" A voice yelled from within the dust and debris.
"Wait…… No…" Sakura said, way to calmly.
"he… hehe…" The voice nervously chuckled.
"GOD DAMNIT KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!" Sakura screamed
As the dust finally cleared, you could see the masked ninja standing there, a little bloodied with cuts. You could also see a large hole in the wall where the chalk board used to be.
"What's going on sensei?" Sakura asked
"First of all, stop calling me sensei! Second of all, this stupid sound ninja invaded and seems to be out as an assassin." Kakashi said, searching for the sound ninja
"Any idea who he's looking for Kaka-sensei?" Sakura asked
"Yes and I said stop that!" Kakashi scolded
"Who?" Sakura asked
"You." Kakashi stated
Sakura groaned before the sound ninja jumped at Kakashi from behind the missing piece of wall.
"Where is she?" The sound ninja asked
Kakashi chuckled before throwing him through the closed door, causing it to break open.
"Wow, how the fuck did you get hurt by that dimwit?" Sakura asked mockingly
"Shut it Sakura." Kakashi growled before jumping through the door.
"By the way, I wasn't late!" Kakashi said before he attacked the sound ninja who was extremely pissed off.
"Yea, yea old man. Let's see if you can finish him off in time though, or I'm counting you as late." Sakura mocked.
"What?!?!" Kakashi groaned.
Kakashi cursed under his breath when he had got hit with a kunai in his leg.
"Wow, you suck Kaka-sensei." Sakura said
"Shut up." Kakashi growled
The sound ninja turned to see who was speaking to the copy-nin and was extremely happy that he had looked. There was the person who he was ordered to kill. The sound ninja suddenly grinned and jumped at her.
Sakura raised an eyebrow at his attempt at an attack before kicking, making him fly back to where he was before, except a little farther. By a little farther, I actually mean out a window.
"Really Kakashi? He most likely just fell to his death but you couldn't even inflict a sever wound on him?" Sakura laughed
"Shut it," Kakashi snapped
Sakura could only chuckle before walking to where the sound ninja had fallen from. Sakura looked out the window and down to see a dead sound ninja body.
Sakura chuckled again before entering the classroom again, where Kakashi took residence in and had sat down on Iruka's desk, messing all his paper's up.
"Did he really expect to kill me with those abilities? " Sakura laughed before going to Kakashi to heal him.
"Hey Sakura?" Kakashi asked
"Yes sensei?"
Kakashi cringed before answering.
"Do you have another dango?" Kakashi asked
Just then Sakura remembered she still had the dango in her mouth, wow. How she pulled that off, nobody will ever know.
"Oh! I almost forgot! Ha-ha, well, I do have a box at home, but you have to work for it." Sakura said, smirking when she finished.
"Oh, come on! I wasn't that bad of a teacher, was I?" Kakashi pleaded.
"Hmmm… Well if you couldn't even beat that worthless assassin then, yeah, you were." Sakura stated
"Come on! That's not fair! I'm not used to this…" Kakashi trailed off
"Yeah, yeah. I get what you're trying to get at. I'm having some problems too." Sakura agreed
Just then Iruka stood out the classroom door.
"What. The. Hell." Iruka shook his head
"Wasn't me!" Kakashi exclaimed
"Oh really? Why else would YOU Kakashi be early?" Iruka growled out
"Um, because if I didn't come on time Sakura would castrate me." Kakashi asked more then said
"But you're EARLY." Iruka said
"Yeah, yeah. Well, Sakura and I will fix the room up. I promise!" Kakashi said before jumping off the desk and to the window.
"Wait! What did you say?!?!" Sakura growled
"Ugh…"
"Hm?" Sakura asked
"Oh! Shikamaru! Well, good morning sunshine!" Sakura exclaimed
"Ha-ha, very funny." Shikamaru complained from the back of the room before standing up and walking towards the front where he yawned and sat down where Kakashi had been sitting just before.
"Have a good nap?" Sakura mocked
"Could've been better if there weren't people flying through walls." Shikamaru sighed before shaking his head.
"Oh yeah, Sakura!" Kakashi exclaimed
"Yes?" Sakura asked
"I forgot to tell you that you are engaged!" Kakashi said
…
"WHAT THE FUCK!?!?" Sakura yelled
"Eh?" Iruka questioned
"You've got to be kidding me!" Sakura complained
"Troublesome… Why?" Shikamaru asked
"Well… In order to keep you know who out of Konoha… I kinda said that you would marry… Suigetsu…" Kakashi then ran to the back of the room and hid
Shikamaru suddenly broke out laughing while Sakura turned the color of a tomato in anger.
"WHAT!?!?" Sakura yelled
"How could you possibly make me get married to fish face!" Sakura complained
"Wow Kakashi, you've done it this time." Shikamaru chuckled before getting glared at by Sakura
"Well would you rather be married of one of the Uchiha's?" Kakashi called from the back
Sakura cringed and her eyebrow started to twitch.
"Hmmm… I don't think weasel would mind that." Kakashi chuckled
"Oh shut the fuck up Kaka-sensei." Sakura growled
"Well, Kakashi." Shikamaru started
"Didn't we want him in Konoha? That completely defeats the point." Shikamaru shook his head
"Oh, fuck." Kakashi cursed under his breath
"You fucking retard!" Sakura scolded while throwing an eraser she found at him, which hit him in the forehead sending him backwards and onto the floor.
Kakashi rubbed his head and then sat up.
"Hehe. Sorry…" Kakashi said
Shikamaru shook his head then started to whisper to Sakura.
"I'll take care of your engagement and cancel it. You just have to stay here and clean up the place. Cover me would you?" Shikamaru said
"Aa." Sakura nodded
Shikamaru nodded his head towards Kakashi, silently telling him he had to take care of something, and then left.
"You scared me Kaka-sensei." Sakura sighed
"Ha-ha, you have no faith in me." Kakashi said
"Yeah, and you gave me another reason not to." Sakura said smirking.
"Yeah… About that… Uhhh… Yeah, I really don't know what I was thinking, and I don't have an excuse." Kakashi sweat dropped
"Especially since fishy was on his team, I have even less trust and faith in you." Sakura answered
Sakura turned around from where she was standing to face a demolished wall. She shook her head and then turned to Iruka.
"Hey Iruka-sensei?" Sakura asked
"Yes?"
"Can you get somebody for me?" Sakura asked
"I really don't have a choice do I?" Iruka mused
"Ha-ha, nope!" Sakura laughed
Iruka chuckled before continuing.
"Well? Who do you want?" Iruka asked
"His name is Yamato or if you can't find him under that name, Tenzō." Sakura said
"Do I even want to know why?" Iruka asked
"Nah, you'll find out soon." Sakura grinned
Iruka sighed before shaking his head and leaving to go find Yamato.
Sakura turned towards the class before sighing and shaking her head.
"God damn it Kakashi, you really had to fuck things up didn't you?" Sakura sighed
"Ha-ha sorry about that." Kakashi laughed
"You really aren't sorry so stop lying." Sakura scolded
Kakashi just looked down in defeat before looking at the class that had been so shocked that they became speechless
"What are we going to do with them?" Kakashi asked
"What do you mean we? I'm not an ANBU like you Kaka-sensei." Sakura chuckled
"Damn it Sakura! I'm not your sensei anymore, so stop it!" Kakashi yelled
"What are you talking about Kakashi? I was never your student. I'm just an academy student." Sakura smirked
"You are such a… What am I going to do with you?" Kakashi said before shaking his head
"I don't know, throw me out a window?" Sakura giggled
Kakashi just chuckled before shaking his head and walking to the back of the room.
"Do I even want to know?" Sakura asked
"You already do." Kakashi smirked
I feel like a bitch for not updating for a couple of weeks. Gomen nesai. Well, I've been working on this chapter for a while also, I've been writing it and then my computer would crash and it wouldn't auto save. So then I would have to do it over again. Stupid laptop. Anyways, thanks for sticking with me and for that you get a cookie ⓒⓞⓞⓚⓘⓔⓓ
