[NaruSaku] Now I See...

Chapter 6: Did You Have A Bad Day At School?

Sakura's POV

I got up and stretched my arms. I did my regular morning routine and headed downstairs. "Ohayo Kakashi." He smiled gave me a closed eye smile. "Good Morning Sakura. Sleep well?" I grabbed a waffle from the toaster and popped it in my mouth while pouring a glass of milk. "You can say that."

I finished my so called breakfast and grabbed my bag. "See ya Kakashi! Don't read those books anymore k?" He swiftly hid the book behind him and smiled as if I didn't see. I shot him a warning look. "S-Sure thing Sakura!"

I walked to the bus stop where I was greeted by a group of guy's. I decided to ignore them and look straight ahead. One of the guys walked up to me. "Oi, are you Sakura Haruno?" I looked at them. "What of it?" They exchanged some looks and nods. Then a fist collided with my gut. I winced and fell on my knees.

I held my stomach gasping for air. They continued to kick me and strike my across the face. They gave each other some looks again and walked away. I wiped the blood from the corner of my lip and slowly got up. I grabbed my stuff and hobbled over to my house.

When I arrived I made sure Kakashi wasn't there. I dropped my things and made my way to the bathroom. I opened the cabinet and took out a First Aid Kit. I rummaged through the things and took out some bandages. I lifted myself on top of the countertop and lifted my shirt. I held my shirt up with my teeth and applied the bandage around my waist.

I finished fixing myself up and got of the counter top. I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed I had a bruise on my face. I huffed. "Great Sakura, just when I thought you weren't getting any uglier."

I grabbed an ice pack and held it against my face. I then heard a knock on my door. I quickly went to grab a pair of sunglasses and then opened the door. 'Aw great...'

I rolled my eyes. "What are you doing here Uzumaki?" He pretended to be hurt. "Well hello to you to. Can I come in?" I glared. "Answer the question." He sighed. "Alright Alright. I'm here to finish up the project." I sighed and motioned him inside.

He walked in and looked around. "Why do you have ice on the couch?" I crossed my arms. "I was hot, is that illegal?" He held up his hands defenselessly. "No." He smirked. "Why were you hot? Were you hot when I came in." I growled. "Are you here to do the project or interrogate me?!"

He chuckled. "Your funny dattebayo." I ignored his comment and grabbed the project. "Alright so we gotta write the essay and we're done."

"Cool now get out." He looked at me. "What? Why?" I folded my arms. "Because I'll finish it up and I'll slap your name on it. Done." I said bluntly.

"But that wouldn't be fair." Well to me it would. I wouldn't get to hear your annoying voice and I can be alone for once!" He looked down. I realized I had hurt him. "I-Im sorry, I d-didnt mean it. I-I.." 'Wait...why am I apologizing... I never do that..'

He got up. "No...it's cool I get it. I'll just leave." He put his hands in his pocket and headed for the door. I grabbed his arm. "Wait!" He looked at me with hope in his eyes. "You forgot your jacket..." I handed him his jacket. He looked at it and took it looking disappointed again. "Thanks...See ya."

He closed the door and I smacked my cheeks simultaneously. 'Snap yourself out of it Sakura!' A couple hours passed and I still felt guilty. I grabbed my jacket and head out the door.

Naruto's POV

I layed on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I felt sad she kicked me out. It reminded me of all those villagers who shunned me when I was little.

>>Flashback<<

"Leave you demon. Go back to where you came from!" I looked at all the villagers helplessly. "What did I do?!" A villager threw a can at my head. "Don't get near my shop!" I held my head and ran. Tears stung in my eyes, threatening to fall. I ran deep in the forest and sat at a tree crying.

A girl with daring pink hair walked up to me. "Oi, you Ok?" She extended her hand. "I'm Sakura." She said, giving me a closed eyes smile. I looked up at her taking her hand. "I'm Naruto." She smiled and looked nervous all of a sudden. "Do you wanna hear something crazy?" I looked at her confused. "Sure?" She smiled and a tint of pink filled her cheeks. "Do you want to be my friend?" I looked at her, hope filling my eyes with every word she spoke. She chuckled. "It's silly I know but, you seemed sad so I thought you could use a friend." I smiled at her and I wiped the remaining tears of my face. "I'd love to be your friend!"

She clasped her hands together. "Awesome! Ya know your my first friend to! I've always wanted a friend!" She twirled happily in a black long sleeved shirt with cuts on the side and some bluish pants. She hugged me tightly and I blushed at the contact. "We're gonna best friends forever!"

>>End of Flashback<<

I smiled as I remembered her. I would do anything to meet her again. Them something clicked. 'That girls name's.... It's Saku-'

My thoughts were interrupted as I heard a knock on the door. "Coming!" I yelled. I ruffled my hair and opened the door. My eyes widened. "Sakura?" She looked up at me shyly. Her cheek were pink from the cold. "Do you wanna hang out?"
