'' how is she '' the man that hiding on the dark while facing in the window said.
'' she's doing fine'' the maid uttered bowing her head.
''but- '' she paused make the man lift his head and look at her make the maid continue. ''- after your dinner with the young miss, she ask about the reason why she lose her memory.''
''and what did you say to her''
''Like your order, i tell her that she accidentally fell in the river''
the man groan and turn his head again on the window. '' good, if she ask again something tell me immediately '' and lift his hand and wave it, a sign that he want to be alone.
the maid only nod and turn her back to the doorway.Going straight to her room. When the maid half upon seeing the big portrait of the Haruno family in the living room.
''this is the most beautiful portrait i every seen in my life '' she said.
her tear suddenly flow when her eyes landed on the beautiful face of the young lady.'' and you have a most beautiful smile my lady''
in her 20 years of serving the Haruno family, she really proud and happy to be serve those humble and kind family.
looking around,the maid recall those memory when the mayor's wife still alive.this mansion is so bright and warm, full of laughter in every part of the house, her hand grip her chest, and look to the woman in the portrait that so much look a like of the young lady.
''Miss Mebuki, maybe if you still here, this mansion will never become unfortunate, and swallow of sadness-''
-and the young lady will never turn in to some one who give up a will to live. when you die, the young lady ...'' tears continue flows in her wrinkled skin
the day when her mother die, she closed her self, she walking, eat and breath but her eyes, Sakura's eyes lose it's bright, become lifeless that tired to live..every day past she become different person, she lock her heart to everyone even in his own father,
make Kizashi more hard to move on, seeing her only daughter, tossing her life in darkness and sorrow. kizashi strength slowly crumble in to pieces.
''s-so what ever the reason, why the young lady lose her memory, i wish from the bottom of heart, until she become old and eventually close her eyes ..i hope..i hope that her memory won't ever come back-,''
-i know it so unfair for the young lady but even Kizashi have a foolish wish like me, if it's make our young lady to smile again, if it's the only solution so her life become so bright again..even i give my life in demon just to make my wish come true i will gladly do it..so Mebuki, please please guide your daughter,and take her memory wherever you are , cause i know, all of us what her happiness...''

Okia who still looking in her back just only nod.
--------------***
''that pervert teacher! is he just making fun of me!''
when she go to the teacher office to tell about what happen to her and naruto, kakashi only say '' is that so'' and nothing more..
she thought Kakashi give her punishment or demerit on her grades but he not even paying attention to what she saying about punching other student and what make her annoyed when all the teacher laugh at her, they don't seem to believe what she said or because she's the mayor's daughter, so they just ignoring whatever she does, maybe that's why the Sakura here do everything she wants in this school. because even teachers are has no guts to stop her?
"but if I'm Sakura's teacher, even if she's still the daughter of daimyo or even if her father is Orichimaru, her horn won't work on me, shanarro!" inner sakura making her rage punch on air
''and why he give so much books'' looking to books in her hand that Kakshi give at her and saying ..
''the exam is coming up in a few days and I'm paying attention to your grade, hm, it looks like your only have 3 points different to the lowest student here-''
'' and who is that?''
''hmm the guy you give a good punch'' then smile at her
''- and because i'm your good advisor, I'll lend you those books so that you can catch up with other lessons you missed''
Sakura can't believe that her other self is not only a witch but also have empty brain and the worst is.. Naruto and her have the same rank!
''this is really frustrating'' she sigh walking through the classroom to get her bags and ask Ino to help here to carry those books, but when she open the door there is no Ino to be found but the dark haired guy who standing and looking to the window while both hands is on his pocket.
''Sasuke kun '' she said.
the Uchiha only look at her in his peripheral vision but that make Sakura heartbeat rise,
''w-what are doing here Sasuke kun.'' she said, she feel like she eat her own word, she so fluster right now, being alone on the guy she love, even this is not the first time they've been together. its still for Sakura this kind of situation felt a little weird, after the tragedy in her world,
but Sasuke don't answer her and silent devour in the classroom. the pink haired just fixed her thing while the raven guy still look daze in the window..
''hey sakura tell something, this is your chance don't waste it'' her inner self said.
but before she open her mouth sasuke suddenly uttered a word.
'' hey,''
Sakura startled, and all the books she holding drop one by one on floor.''i'm sorry'' she quickly kneel and get all the books that scattered under her chair.
''what a clumsy girl'' he already looking at the pink girl who rushing herself to get those book in the floor.
Sakura feel so much shame for being so klutz in front of him, and the word he uttered make her more shrug.
when she finished to gather all the book's with out the help of the guy in front of her sakura sigh '' yeah they both the same'' she whisper..
the Uchiha walking toward to here and said ''give me you hand''
Sakura suddenly lift her head, look surprised for what the raven guy uttered and because of that her cheek become more red.
''w-what did you say Sasuke kun?''
''your hand?'' he repeated.
she slowly raised it and held out her hand to the dark orb eye that fix his gaze to her, make her straight on her leg wobble, while her both cheeks continued to heat up. But she was so disappointed when instead a hand, a cold book landed in her palm and the raven guy walk away.
''book?'' she lost her word
when her wit back, she turned right away in a panic mode while groaned to call its name
'' S-sasuke kun? what this books for?''
''hm, it looks like you need it,'' he glanced at the books that are now on her desk. she cringed to realize what the raven guy meant.
'' sh*t! does Sasuke kun here, know the rank status of the other me here? it's really embarrassing!'' inner Sakura said
''-but Sasuke kun what about you? is the exam near so- (pause) if you want let sh''
'' I don't need that '' he said with a cold tone in his voice.
'' ah '' the dismay write over her face but she can't help it, for suddenly asking her like that even ...even in this world, they might not close ah she think,
maybe the Sasuke here is also smart like the Sasuke in her world.. a sweet smile draw on her small lips without realizing it..''right, Sasuke kun is good to every thing'' she mumble, he remembering the old times, when her cord on her neck almost blast out for screaming every time Sasuke show their moves or techniques when he fight against her whisker friend. Other girls like her who like Sasuke always cheery for him and just ignoring Naruto. All girls in there village admire the Uchiha guy for being the best in their class and for being so handsome.
she couldn't help but to chuckle in giggles when the man who had been watching his reaction spoke again.
'' you-''
''hm?'' Sakura suddenly look at him, still not realizing the changed of glint in his eyes.
''-why you have those eyes? ''
she puzzle to his word make her full attention to what he uttered, but still, Sakura couldn't think clearly what it meant about that, until his presence disappear in her sight and register in her mind that she totally alone in that cold room.
A pale tint of orange can be seen when you looked up in the sky, darkness are taking over in a few hours and one by one, the students are going home when she decides not to wondering around and it's already time for her to go home,
her blonde friend already head off a minute ago, so she have no choice but to ask the driver to pick her up,it's to hard for her to ride on train while holding so much books
when she arrived at the gate his driver was already waiting,
''miss'' the driver said after opening the car door for her.
''uhm thank you''
a soon she go inside the car she lean her back and relaxed her shoulder..with the amount of work she do and so much problem in her hand, she felt that this day is to long for her, she so tired she felt like her soul was going to be separated from her body.
the weight of her eyelids seemed to drag her in drowsiness when she noticed the figure of her blonde friend walking in the alley, she quickly rouse up and chased the gaze of her friend into the window.
''is there a problem miss sakura?''
'' huh? nothing'' then she lean her back again. ''this is not the direction to their house but what Ino doing in this area'''
the tall post,which stand on the side of road. one by one start to light up and the blonde long hair girl seriously walking under the light.
not even paying attention of the loudness of all people who walking back and forth in the street..
her mind is still fixed to the scene of her two closed friend.The one who still tied up in the past, and the other one that already erase her past.Thinking to those two Ino can't help but to feel sorry for both of them.
Ino groan. '' this is to complicated''
''what complicated?''
Ino look up and see a yellow haired girl that holding a fan. she immediately grimace and turn back when a hand snatch her collar in her back
''where do you think your going?''the yellow haired girl said and make a evil smile while pointing the tip of her fan in her face.
Ino gulp ''Oh Temari i didn't notice you are there''
''don't make a useless excuses! you avoiding me right?''
a tiny little sweat fell from Ino fore head.'' what avoiding you?when did i do that? haha'' her lips continue distorted for her grimacing and when Temari look her closely Ino eyes automatic look away.
'' you lying Ino''
''of course not!'' shaking her head for panicking..
''if you say so..then! come with me'' with not even getting an answer to the blonde girl that she holding. Temari pulled Ino, and drag her in the street.
'' hey temari where are we going''she asking, and let the yellow girl dragged to somewhere.
a burger shop near in the train station Ino found herself..''sh*t'' she felt something bad when they stopped at the door of the burger shop.
she want to run away when Temari rest her arms in Ino's shoulder '' let's go, you can't escape'' then show a her scary smile make Ino more shiver.
when they go inside Ino minds wish something, she wish that the fat guy who always follow her ever since they young is not there..Ino eyes shaking while scanning all the people inside the burger shop
''hey relax!Choji is not here haha''then walk toward to the two girl who seating near in the corner of the shop.
''That b*tch, why she didn't tell sooner'' her teeth clutch to each other while walking to the same direction that Temari went, pulling the chair, Ino sit and look to the two familiar face. '' so what's going on? why suddenly showed up?''
''don't make a face like that Ino, after all this is our first gathering after we graduate in middle school'' the girl wearing Chinese shirt said.
''what ever'' she shrug.
''hey why making a long face! are you not happy to see us!'' Temari hit the table using her fan and make Ino eyebrow narrow in annoyance
''why i will happy to see you when you always in our house every week end and flirting to my cousin Shikamaru!'' Ino stand and put her right feet in the chair
''oh! hahaha '' the yellow haired girl back off immediately to what Ino uttered.
''Ino you never changed a bit'' Tenten said.
''-ah i forget to introduce the girl beside me'' tenten added
Ino who just realize that their still other girl sitting in their table, so her eyes look to the girl beside Tenten
''a-ah y-you''
''-this is my boyfriend little sister Hinata!''
