the worst rank ever.

Swelling face, black line under the eyes, this is the look of Sakura when she go to her school and the reason?

Her blonde best friend.

Yesterday, because she so much worry for her friends, Sakura decided to stop by to her friends house, cause of so much trouble afterwards.

The blonde girl ask for help about their exam, so in the end she stay all night to their house to study together, then some unexpected guest arrived.

Shikamaru and Temari arrived, first she so shocked to know, that here in this world Shikamaru and Ino are cousin, but more shocking news is Shikamaru is Temari's boyfriend. The old enemy in her world become lover in this world and that fact make the pink haired girl chuckle in her breath.

After the two come in Ino's house, the planned to study together didn't happened at all and in the end a small slumber party headed by her blonde friend.

Whenever she tell to Ino to start to study she always say '' i'm study after 30 minutes.'' until they totally forget the exam and either she, can't focus to study because of the loudness around her and stay up all night with out knowing anything and leave early in the morning to go back to her house.

It's just only 7 o'clock on the morning but she feel like her energy is already draining and she afraid that she can't focus for the exam cause she so sleepy.

her soul is like dozing off any time, '' this bad, I can't remember what I studied last night and because of those three idiot'' holding to her head and make a trouble eye, Sakura walking with only one thing in her mind, that is ''her bed''

''Come down now,its dangerous there!''

Sakura look when she heard a voice and a whining of a children.

Not far a way from her, a three children gathering in one tree and looking up and waving their hand, like their something in the top of the tree.

''Hey kiddo do you need help?'' Sakura said then look to the top of the tree. There's a white dog that cry on the tree and Sakura startle to recognize that the familiar white dog ''Akamaru?''she whisper.

The three kids turn their head at her at the same time, make the pink haired girl frown.

''it's the three brat, that Naruto always playing around'' her inner self said.

The three kids look to each other then turn around and start whispering.

''Konohamaru, what we going to do now, there some stranger lady suddenly come to us'' the kids with boogers in his nose said.

''stranger lady?'' Sakura eyebrow frown

''Udon, lower your voice, she can hear you, my parents said don't talk to strangers, and she look scary'' said of the only girl in the group that have a orange hair and tied up in a like a two very large pigtails.

''look scary?'' Sakura grimace

'' Moige is right, we can't talk to her and that old lady is looks like ugly witch in the fairy tale.'' the two kids nod to the little boy who wear goggles.

''old lady? ugly witch?'' Sakura gripping her fist, controlling the angry nerve in her grip. But those familiar word is make her smirk when she remember the old time.

''Hey! witch we don't talk to ugly stranger-''

SMACK!

A weak smash on head unleash of the pink haired girl to the kids with goggles, make it cry,

''Konohamuru!'' the two other kids said and look's like they starting to cry as well

'' You ugly witch i going to tell it to my big brother'' he said, continue his whining while holding his hand on his head.

Sakura feel a little sorry for the three kids who whining louder in this early morning, she groan.''Ehem, stop those whining, don't you want to rescue your dogs?''

The three automatic stop crying when they remember their dog that on top of the tree. ''ah!!'' they said in the same time and start whining again, And Sakura head become more heavy because of their whining

''Stop it, i get Akamaru down, so stop crying'' Sakura said

The little boy who wearing goggles look at here '' Hey ugly witch, how do you know our dog name is Akumaru?'' then the other two kids look at her too.

''Ah? Eh?'' Sakura look away her gaze to the three kids like she thinking some reason when the three kids step backward away to her

'' i knew it your bad person! your spying us everyday and what to kidnap our dog so you can cook it, your ugly witch-'' Konohamaru shouted and pointing his finger to the emerald orb who have a dumbfound face.

and again other smash landed on Konohamaru head .

''this three are the same on my world, they making me angry to those nonsense idea on there mind.'' she talk on her breath.

''Don't read to much fantasy book kids, i just saw his collar and the dog name is there,''

''''well the dog really have a collar but is to far to read from here ''' inner Sakura smile so silly for her lie, but because those are only kids, even it's obviously lie they believe her right away.

''-if you don't want my help then, i let your dog die on the top of the tree'' Sakura added showing her evil smile, make the three kids scared..

She act like she's really going when the kids hold her skirt so fast in the same time, looking at her with there puppy eyes and said '' help us''

Sakura smile, then look slowly from above to upper trunk of the tree, she have no chakra but still, climbing this tree is piece of cake.

First, she distanced herself from the tree and then jumped, once she reach one of the branch of the tree, using her full strength, she pull her body upwards and in a flash she was immediately at the top of the tree and holding the dog that trembling with fear.

She smiled, remembering the other Akamaru who always bark and not fearing to anything ,different from Akamaru she hugging that shaking in to fears '' I don't know how you got here but don't worry your okay now, we going down. '' the dog who seemed to understand her bark.

"What are you doing here?"

A man's voice spoke from behind of the three children, and at the same time they turned around and a sweet smile drew on their lips.

'' big brother'' the trio said.

"big brother?" because there were so much branches and leaves blocking her sight, she couldn't see very well who the man they called brother was.

with her free right hand, while hugging the dog using her other hand, Sakura tore off some branches and leaves that were blocking her until

crack ..

''eh?''

suddenly the branch of the tree which she stood was break off, and she's falling, shouting her both eyes while the wind gasping her falling body Sakura hugged the dog tightly.

with one skip breath, before she hit the ground the man that stand earlier on the back of the trio, are already under the tree in just a flash and with perfect timing before her body landed on the ground the man catch her.

the trio who watching the thrill scene clap their hand, ''wow! big bro is really amazing''

when Sakura heard that from Konohamaru, she open her eyes immediately and see a black haired guy with black and sharp eye,

''Sasuke-''she whisper but when she carefully see it, is is not the same guy in her mind, and knowing that make her mind frozen in shock, cause the guy who holding her like a bridal style is non other than the older brother of the guy she like.

''I-itachi?''

'' i didn't know that my simple name knew of this beautiful lady in my arms, make my heart flattered '' and smile at her.

Sakura snap and immediately jump away in his arms and quickly make a few step away to him

''Hahahaha'' Itachi laugh suddenly

''eh?''

'' i'm just joking, so please don't make a face like that,''

''what face?'' Sakura said.

''-you look like you see a gross things, don't misunderstand me, i'm just happy to see a beautiful lady in this morning'' he added

''eh? '' she blush and quickly composed herself, with cringe on her finger Sakura can't believe that the Itachi in this world is a little bit ''pervert''

Woof! Woof! Woof!

She snap back when Akamaru bark, she almost forget the dog she hugging tightly, she lowered herself and put down the dog and the dog immediately run to the three kids

''So Akamaru's owner is the three brat? Then what about kiba?'' Sakura take her bag that lying on the ground, when she climb she put it down earlier and because her business here is done she decided to go her school.

Turning her back and ready to go Itachi suddenly speak '' thanks for helping these three brat.'' make the slight bow on his head

'' Is nothing, by the way is that three brat is your sibling, i heard they call you big brother'' then make a quick gaze to the brat that making crooked face while poking their lower eyelid and waving their tongue to her

Sakura eyebrow flinch ''those brat!''

when Itachi see the annoyed face of the pink haired girl he look back and see the three brat's doing '' hey stop that.'' and three suddenly run away with the dog tailing them.

The two left alone, make the atmosphere become awkward. ''ah! about your question, i'm not their real brother, those three brat is lived near in our home, they just called me big brother''

Sakura nod '' i see, then i'm going now'' she turn around when Itachi speak again

''wait, before you go can i know the name of the pretty girl in front of me?''

''i'm Sa-'' but before Sakura can't even say her name, someone already uttered her name in the back.

'' Sakura,''

the two look and saw the young Uchiha holding his bag while the other hand is on his pocket.

''Sasuke kun'' Sakura uttered and her cheeks paint in small red. The looks of the blushing pink haired girl never escape to the sight of other Uchiha.

''So, you know my little brother too'' Itachi smiling at the pink haired girl that just only nod that still making panic expression while still focus to the young Uchiha that walking toward them.

''How do you know her Sasuke?'' Itachi said turn back to his little brother.

''classmate'' he said, then passed his brother that observing his face and go directly to the pink haired girl that still have a red cheeks. when Sasuke is already near to her, he give her a quickly gazed and said '' let's go'' then continue walking forward.

Sakura only nod, even she don't know what's suddenly going on, seeing Sasuke in this morning make her heart fluttered. Giving her goodbyeto Itachi then run toward to the young Uchiha.

Itachi left alone. ''Sakura? huh,interesting '' then smirk before turn back.

The two walking silently, Sasuke is just looking straight in a calm face while Sakura can't stop her heart pumping for to much of joy.

''kekekeke this great going school with Sasuke kun!'' her inner self said as if she celebrating with great joy cause she goes to school with the guy she like

Her cheeks continue to heat up and every second her gaze landed to the handsome face of the young guy walking near to her. '' Sasuke kun is really cool'' she added.

''Hey'' but when Sasuke suddenly speak Sakura mind snap immediately.

''y-yes?'' she said feel so nervous.

While still looking straight on the road Sasuke spoke '' why both of you are together?''

''eh? ah! do you mean your brother?''

but what Sakura said make the young uchiha stop walking and looked at her '' how do you know, he is my brother, i didn't even said it?''

Sakura suddenly feel anxious, her forehead release a tiny sweat even it's still early in the morning ''eh? ah.. y-you, you both look similar to each other so i thought it's your brother, and the guy earlier said it, or he just think as you as his little brother like the three kids, am i'm wrong? '' then look away immediately to the sharp gaze of the Uchiha.

''Hm'' then start walking again.

'' oh! snap your big mouth Sakura'' her inner self said then follow the raven guy.

''so- are you not related to each other?'' Sakura ask acting as if she doesn't know at all.

''your guess is right,he is my older brother'' Sasuke answer still looking straight on the road.

A quick image suddenly snap on the pink haired girl, remembering the pain and hatred that Sasuke feel in her world. The pain that drove him to go into the darkness and head down the bloody road of revenge. In this world she hope Sasuke is free from those pain.

''Ne, Sasuke kun? do you hate your brother?'' a question that unconsciously, suddenly came out of her mouth

''what?'' make the raven snap and look again to her.

when she realized the strange question that came out of her mouth, she quickly think a good excuse. "Ah b-because, the other siblings are always fighting, I just want to know, because you know-,

-I'm just an only child" she said quickly as if she was eating the other words she uttered.

Sasuke fixed his gaze to her then after a few second he looked away '' why i hate my own brother? hurry up we going to be late'' then walk through the gate of the school.

Sakura left alone outside the gate, stunned to what the raven guy uttered, a smile of relieve show on her lips.

''thank god, the Sasuke kun here is free from all sorrow, i'm so happy''

The pink haired girl still standing there, her sanity is now flying in air when a small smash on her head landed.

''ah!'' scratching her head the pink haired girl look back and see her best friend Ino

''hey forehead why you smiling like idiot there'' then snatch Sakura wrist '' let's go we going to be late''

the two girl running toward inside the school not see the one pair of angry eyes that looking to pink haired girl.

After the last test, Sakura who sit in her chair look trouble.

''i'm doomed!'' Sakura eyes wider without even blinking her two hand is in head and tweaked her hair.

she can't believe what happening, she can't even answer anything the question on their last test, as if her mind is empty.

''you're ugly when you do that'' Ino said standing in her side.

giving her best friend a death glare Sakura stand and put her two hand in her neck ''Ino pig if i choke you right now don't feel angry with me okay, were friends and if you die i promise i always remember you'' she said in a scary tone make Ino shove her hand and immediately make a few step away to her.

''are you crazy! why you want to choking me! just because you failed to your test you going to kill your pretty friends'' Ino shouted

''yes! I'm become crazy, because of you i can't think an answer to my test paper! And telling me your pretty make me even mad'' Sakura shouted too.

''what? just because that?''

Sakura frown ''what do you mean because of that? is not simple as you think''

Ino put her both arms to her chest '' why you making a fuss about that? Sakura don't pretend to be smart, cause your not, and being second to last is not bad at all, beside all of us are used to it right Sasuke?'' then look to the Uchiha who stand up and ready to go.

Sasuke look at Ino then look to the pink haired girl then smirk before left the room.

Her world feel like collapse, seeing the guy she like, smirking like that , like he mocking her for being stupid. Sakura become mad, putting again her hand on Ino's neck and start to shaking it ''it's your fault!it's your fault!''

''a-aah Forehead don't kill me'' Ino said acting as if Sakura really choking her.

The different form of the cloud on the sky make the pink haired girl who lying on the roof feel so much sleepy.The exam is over and after those stressing test paper she feel like she drowning in drowsiness,when a cold thing touched her forehead make her drowsiness fly away and when she looked her eyes above her, she find her blonde friend who smiling widely at her.

''By the way Sakura there some one want to talk to you'' she said then look behind them, Sakura follow Ino' gaze while still drinking soda. A long haired girl standing in their back,

Sakura put her drinks down immediately and look to the girl behind '' Hinata?''

The timid girl make a few step toward to the two girl who still sitting on the floor. ''H-haruno san, i- i..i-am sorry!!'' making a bow while shaking her voice.

Sakura panic after seeing Hinata bow her head and immediately stand up '' w-why your saying sorry?''

''what the heck is going on?'' although she knew for herself that she didn't do well the last exam, but she never expecting to have a worst result.

Her name is on the top of the lowest rank student in their school and that's one and only the yellowed haired guy.

''wow forehead you almost beat Naruto in his rank it's just a two points deference and congrats for being consisted to the second to the lowest rank'' then laugh, sounds that she mocking the pink haired girl

''don't be arrogant, you thought your rank was higher than us?what a joke there are only two gaps between you and my rank Ino pig!''

Sakura teeth clutch to each other for being sarcastic of her friend when she see the pearly eyes that looking her test result too.

''Hinata?''

the pearly eye look at two and great them

''so what your rank Hinata?'' Ino's voice still have a slight arrogant tone.

''me?-'' looking down and blush Hinata continue '' i-im not as good as everyone, and my rank is not good too.''

''eh!!'' they both scream and the pearly eyes look at them with blank expression.

'' y-your no. 5?'' the two girl duet and Hinata only smile to them.

the two lady start to narrow their eyes for being humble of the pearly eye beside them when some one speak.

''W-Wow my Hinata is really smart''

a voice came from there back and when the three young lady look back it's the yellow haired guy with a stupid smile of his whisker cheek and the raven guy that have a boredom look on his face.

''Naruto kun?'' hinata smile to see her boyfriend.

But when Naruto notice the girl beside his girlfriend, he immediately looked away and start to turned when Ino speak suddenly.

''hey Naruto! i think you have something to tell to Sakura right?'' Ino said, the pink haired girl puzzle to what her friends uttered then look again to the yellow haired guy who looking away and have a trouble look on his face.

Naruto gripping his fist hesitating when Hinata call his name. ''N-naruto kun?''

Biting his lips Naruto look at the pink haired girl, his both cheeks is turning into red. He sigh and in his low voice Naruto said ''i'm sorry for being jerk last time''

Sakura eye wider but quickly composed herself and make a bright smile, make the whisker boy immediately turn his back cause his face is heating up, then run away, left the Uchiha who groaning for such of drama actor of his friend.

The Uchiha start to follow his stupid friend when Sakura call him ''Sasuke kun, what is your test result?''

Sasuke lift his head slight and with the corner of his eyes he look to the pink haired girl then raised his hand and make a number 1 gesture. before walk away.

''W-WOW!! Sasuke kun is number 1? Sasuke kun is so cool?'' her inner self celebrating and totally forget that she sulking earlier for being second to the lowest rank.

Her smile almost reached her ears, suddenly vanish upon seeing a weird glare of the guy with a gray hair and glasses, looking at the Uchiha who walking away.

''eh? that's guy looks like-''

'' what are you looking forehead?'' Ino interrupt her and when she look again, she can't see that guy in to the crowd

''what is it?'' Ino look at the same direction where Sakura gaze fixed but she can't see anything but full of student who busy seeing their own test result.

''i-it's nothing, let's go and eat? do you want to join us Hinata?'' after Hinata nod the three of them go to cafeteria.

Meanwhile the two guy are also heading to cafeteria and heading a head of the three girls. Naruto babbling is already started while Sasuke just smirking to what his friend talking about when suddenly he notice a girl with a red hair walking toward to their opposite direction.

when the red haired girl passed them, Sasuke glint of eyes changed and suddenly stop.

''what is it?'' Naruto ask

Sasuske turn a deaf ears to his friend then look behind while his both hand is still inside the his pants pocket looking to the three girl not far from where they are.

The three girl laughing while chatting to each other when a the red girl suddenly block their path.

Upon seeing the girl in front of them Ino immediately frown while Hinata suddenly tremble and have anxious look.

The red haired girl who block their path, put one of her hand to her waist and her other hand holding the temples of her glasses, smiling to the pink haired girl and said.

''Long time no see princess Sakura''

Sakura who look serious, narrow her two eyebrow.

''Karin?''
