Eclipse of the Dimensions

Chapter Warnings: None saves for girl talk

A/N: I do not think anyone is OOC that is good I suppose. I think this chapter may be longer than the other one. Thanks again for the reviews. I may be changing the summary, if anyone has a good idea for a new one please tells me.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto,

 

-Begin-

 

Only to find the oppressive weight on her chest was gone. She sat up, gasping for air, her eyes tightly shut. After Sakura had finally taken her desired quantity of air, she looked about. This is where the confusion set in. She was apparently in her room, but that could not be right, could it?

 

Sakura sat up with perplexity evident in her eyes. As her feet touched the chilly ground, the pinkette noticed something tickling her back and arms. She hesitantly looked behind her to find a curtain of pink tresses. Sakura's eyes widened considerably. She had not had long hair since she was eleven.

 

The girl rushed over to the mirror and nearly fainted. She looked like she was eleven; Sakura was very close to hyperventilating. She swiftly fashioned a hand sign.

 

“Kai!” (1)

 

Nothing, Sakura desperately reached for chakra, only to find nothing. Sakura had always been the best at genjutsu in Team 7 so she was gradually concluding that this was not an illusion.

 

She was eleven again; the pinkette was unsure whether to be scared, happy, or sad. She decided to focus on the good part of the situation. Maybe she could change time. Maybe everything would be all right.

 

She looked at the mirror again, first she would have to cut her hair, it felt heavy and it was annoying.

 

-Time-Skip-

 

She had forgotten how aggravating her red dress was. It kept getting caught between her legs and causing her to stumble. Sakura had figured out it was the day teams were chosen by the date on her calendar. Her head felt lighter now that all that troublesome hair was out of the way. The only trouble she came across was when her mom had freaked out for a little bit, knowing how precious Sakura's hair was to her. The woman had relaxed somewhat when her daughter had told her she was over that phase of her life.

 

Not relaxed completely however, she was suspicious and that was very bad for Sakura. No one could find out that she was from the future. Absolutely no one, they would just think her crazy or…

 

Sakura did not positively know what besides the fact that it would most likely be bad.

 

The girl, so caught up in her musings, almost crashed into Ino. Said girl was currently gaping at her hair like a fish out of water.

 

“W-what the hell did you do to your hair?” Ino reached out and cautiously tugged at her cotton-candy tresses, as if it would poof away revealing her old hairstyle.

 

“I cut it, duh Ino-pig” Sakura swatted away the other girl's hand; all the tugging was making her head sore.

 

“But…but what about Sasuke-kun?” Ino was defiantly confused; her rival had a crush the size of Fire Country on Sasuke. She had been ecstatic to learn about his so-called preferences for hair. Why would Sakura decide to cut it?

 

“Screw Sasuke” The pinkette spit out, she still really had not forgiving him for everything. Even if he had not honestly done it, yet it still burned a hole into her heart. Sakura may have forgiven him in the past but enough was certainly enough. She had slowly been losing the love she once held for Uchiha, although most of it had turned platonic, the rest had dissipated into nonexistence. (2)

 

Ino was supremely confused now; this was coming from a girl who had ended their friendship over Sasuke, now she was acting as if she disliked him immensely.

 

“Who are you and what did you do with Forehead-girl?” Ino poked the other girl in the chest.

 

Sakura again swatted the blonde's hand away, honestly why did Ino keep coming into her personal bubble?

 

“I just realized that chasing after a person who treats you like dirt is an impractical fixation”

 

Ino's eyes widened, this Sakura was not the one she had come to know. It was as if her old friend had matured overnight. The sapphire-eyed girl wondered what could have brought about such a change.

 

Chasing after Sasuke and expecting him to return any sort of feeling was a pipe dream. The other girl was right; the Uchiha ignored all of his fan girls. Still a nagging little voice, most likely her competitive streak, was reminding her that Sakura could be trying to trick her.

 

“Are you giving up on chasing him?” Ino's voice came out a little harsher than she intended it to be.

 

“Hai, I'm pretty much done with the whole Sasuke thing” Sakura tucked a piece of pink hair behind her ear and prepared to turn away.

 

“Wait! Does this mean we can, um, maybe, erm, be friends, or at least try to be, again?” Ino had grasped her elbow and was looking at her warily. The pinkette sighed, she had ended their last friendship, and Ino had every right to be wary.

 

Sakura smiled, “Of course”

 

While Ino perked up, Sakura's smile turned into a smirk.

 

“Ino-pig”

 

“You totally ruined the moment Forehead-girl!” the blonde playfully smacked her.

 

Sakura looked at the clock inside of the Yamanaka flower shop.

 

“Hell! We're late!” Sakura grabbed her rival-turned-friend and began running towards the academy. They could not miss the sorting! (3)

 

-Time-Skip-

 

Both girls thankfully made in time. Sakura quietly slipped into the only remaining seat.

 

“Sakura-chan!” the voice was familiarly earsplitting and obnoxious.

 

She turned to see Naruto in his entire vivid orange splendor. The jade-eyed girl resisted throwing her arms around him and sobbing, just a few hours ago, he was on the brink of death. She settled for just smiling a little half-smile at him.

 

Naruto looked as if he was going to say something but soon interrupted by Iruka's entrance. Sakura began to tune out the team announcements until a certain blond shot out of his seat cheering.

 

`Well, looks like Team 7 is being called out' Sakura thought, slightly nostalgic. Naruto abruptly sat down, obviously depressed, when Sasuke's name came up. The pinkette smiled, it would not be too bad staying in the past, or at least that was her hope.

 

-Time-Skips-Are-Fun-

 

After their dismissal, Sakura decided to go shop for a different outfit. She was not used to this blasted dress; the poor girl was used to freedom in her general knee vicinity.

 

She wandered to the clothing store and sifted about for a bit before deciding on an outfit similar to her old one, the only difference was that the skirt wrapped all the way around, save for two large slits up the sides. Her shirt also differed in the fact that it had the same sleeves that her dress had.

 

She smiled, contented with her new gear. Sakura stopped for a moment remembering something critical.

 

She was in her eleven-year-old body. Which meant all the muscle she had accumulated was gone. Sakura had no doubt that her medical jutsu was unchanged, but her punches were defiantly going to be weaker.

 

Shit.

 

The pink haired girl clenched her fist in determination. She would just have to train it all back! She would be stronger than ever, due to training earlier! Her smile returned, just a snag, nothing too big!

 

-Not-Another-Time-Skip-

 

Naruto had given up looking for Sakura and was walking dejectedly home. He had wanted to tell her how pretty her new hairstyle was! At least she was nicer today; she had even smiled at him! Naruto suddenly stopped. Hadn't Sakura grown her hair out for the bastard? She had not even spared a glance at Sasuke.

 

Naruto grinned; maybe he had a chance with his stunning Sakura-chan! His pace quickened immensely after that.

 

-End-

 

Well I hope you guys are satisfied with chapter 2, sorry for that cliffy in chapter 1. I may not do couples just as one of my reviewers said I should not. I may just leave subtle hints of things, you guys can pick if you really want to. Again, I WILL be changing the summary so if you have a better idea tells me.

Explanations:

One-Is that it? On the other hand, did I totally screw it over?

Two-I am a firm believer in this so no hints of SasuSaku ever, and I believe this is how she really feels. This is my opinion so yeah; you do not have to agree.

3- Harry Potter joke you guys! Sorted into teams and all...

Their own damn fault really…

 

Please review, it motivates me more than anything does! That means more shiny updates!
