CHAPTER 2: SAD EYES

A/N: I'm so sorry, I haven't updated in such a long time. Pls forgive. I had the chapter written down but I was too lazy to actually type it.

Disclaimer: Naruto doesn't belong to me.

Kakashi eyed the Hokage curiously. He didn't get why all four of them had to live with Sakura; even one of them would have been enough.

" I know you are wondering, why you people are supposed to live with her but there is a reason for it," the Hokage started.

"I figured that much out," Kakashi said.

"And a very valid reason indeed. I suspect that Orichimaru might be behind the murder of Sakura's parents," Tsunde continued.

"And why is that," He asked puzzled due to the fact that Orichimaru had no connection to Sakura what so ever.

"Because he was trying to lure Sasuke by using Sakura as a bait, unfortunately for him her parent's got in the way and were sadly killed." Tsunde explained.

"I see. Thanks for informing me but I should leave before naruto and sasuke get in a fight." Kakashi said and left.

Sakura felt a lot better since her talk with Kakashi sensei, but that didn't mean that she was over it. She could never be able to get over something this big. It's her parent's they were talking about for god's sake. They were the people who were always there for her since she was a little girl. How could she forget them so easily? But she didn't want to show people that she was so weak that she couldn't even control her own emotions. She wanted to prove to her team more than anyone, that she was strong, that she could smile even when she was going through hell. She wouldn't let anyone see her cry. This was her time to prove that she could handle herself, without depending on anyone. She smiled faintly, knowing Naruto would probably be against this idea but she needed some self security that she could survive alone.

What the hell is she smiling about? Neji and Sasuke thought, not missing her faint smile.

"Hey, Sakura-chan isn't it strange, how all of us are supposed to live with you, not that I mind." Naruto asked for once serious in his life.

"Yeah it is," Sakura answered. No matter how strange it was, she had other bigger problems at her hand. How in the hell would she be able to live with four guys in her house? She only had a small house with two bedrooms in her house, a living room and a bathroom. The two bedrooms and bathroom were upstairs and the living room and kitchen were downstairs. Her parent's and her were never really home so they didn't see any point in buying a huge house. She felt a pang of hurt at the thought that someone else besides her parents would be living in their bedroom. She quickly discarded the hurt, trying to keep herself from getting emotional in front of her teammates. Moving on to other problems, someone would have to share a room with her. Sakura was abdruptly interrupted out of her thoughts when Kakashi-sensei came back.

" Okay, Listen up people, I want you to go home and pack whatever you need, and meet me here in three hours. Take in consideration that we don't know how long we will be living with Sakura. One more thing, Don't be late." Kakashi explained and disappeared in smoke.

Naruto and Sakura sweatdropped, knowing him, he would be the one late.

THREE HOURS LATER

All of them were now seated in Sakura's living room.

"Okay, my parent's room is big enough for three people, so one of you would have to room with me," Sakura finished the last part quickly.

What's wrong with me? I have roomed with guys tons of time, so why am I so nervous? She thought frustrated.

" You guys can decide whom while I get a drink," she said nervously, and was about to leave when Neji spoke up.

" I'll room with you," he said indifferently.

To say they were shocked was an understatement, their mouth's were literally hanging open, including sasuke's. They looked at Neji, like he had grown an other head or two.

" What? Is there a problem with what I said?" Neji snapped irritated by their gaze.

Hell yeah, you damned Hyuuga. Sasuke thought angrily. What he didn't understand was why he was so irritated at Neji; it's not like he cared what Sakura did.

"No, not at all Neji-san," Sakura said with a little smile, recovering from her shock. If it was two years ago she would've have been dying to room with sasuke but now she didn't care. Not that she didn't like him; she just became less obvious about it. During the years she had come to realize that the less she flirted with Sasuke, the less annoyed he was with her. Upon this realization she started to concentrate more on her training and to her surprise sasuke actually started to treat her with respect.

"Why don't I show you your room, so you can settle in." Sakura said and led the way. They went upstairs and entered a spacious room with two beds, two side tables with a lamp and a walk in closet.

"Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi sensei this is your room. One of you would have to sleep on the floor. I'll bring the futon bed later. If you guys need any thing don't hesitate to ask me," Sakura explained.

"Any questions?" She asked.

"Sakura-chan where's…" Naruto started but was quickly cut off by sakura.

"Naruto the ramen is on the top first cupboard on the right in the kitchen," Sakura answered, knowing full well what her teammate was going to ask.

"Thanks Sakura-chan." Naruto said happily. As long as he had ramen he was happy.

" I'll leave you guys to settle in," she said.

"Neji-san please come with me," she asked politely before exiting the room. Neji quickly followed her into her room. He would have imagined her room to be pink but was surprised to find it was an elegant shade of creamy white. The wall was creamy white; the carpet and curtains were beige. It was a fairly large and simple room but none the less unique. There was a bed against the wall along with a dresser next to it. There was a door next to the window that led to the balcony

connected to Sakura's and her team's room.

Sakura put the futon bed that she had brought while Neji was looking around, on the floor.

"Thanks,"Neji said not looking up.

"Ur, You're welcome. Well I'm going downstairs to cook dinner. If you need anything just call me." She said and left.

While in the next room naruto and sasuke were still trying to decide who was taking the bed because Kakashi had already taken one of the beds. They played rock, paper and scissors. Unfortunately for naruto he lost.

"Ugh, this is so unfair." Naruto whined.

"Deal with it, Dobe." Sasuke smirked. Even though they were best friends, they still didn't give up their rivalry.

"Shut up, Sasuke-bastard." Naruto glowered angrily.

"Whatever" Sasuke put his clothes in the closet and was about to sit down when he noticed a picture on the side table. He picked it up and sat down on the bed. It showed a picture of a man and woman with a 9-year-old girl. The man had his arm draped around the woman's shoulder and both of them were smiling happily but the little girl had her head bowed down and she had a sad look in her eyes. He guessed it was Sakura since she had pink hair and green eyes. It was hard to believe that this girl was Sakura because the Sakura he knew always looked happy

and never did he see her sad.

"Hard to believe that's Sakura isn't it," Kakashi commented.

"Hn"

" When Sakura was little she was very self conscious about her forehead because everyone used to bully her about it, but then Ino came and her helped her realize that it didn't matter what people thought. When they realized both of them liked you, Sakura broke off their friendship. But in the end I guess both of them gave up on you." Kakashi finished of lazily.

"Personally, I think it was a futile cause breaking their friendship over you because neither of them gained your affection. Don't you think so." Kakashi smirked.

"Yeah…it was futile." Sasuke hesitated. Was it really? He questioned, doubting himself.
