''Are you sure about that Hinata?'' Ino is the first one to react after knowing that her yellow haired friend have know something about what happened to Kabuto.
''Yes i'm sure, well- he didn't tell all the details but still i know, Naruto kun, know something.'' with determination on her eyes the two girl only nod showing that they believing what the timid girl talking right now.
''So what we going to do know?'' Sakura said, knowing Naruto if he see even her shadow, he automatically run away so how she will ask him? Sakura and Hinata groan at the same time, but when they heard the belligerent smile of the blonde girl, they both felt quiver.
10 hours later, after school.
''Ino is this your plan all along?'' Sakura said she felt her soul already flitting away from her body, her best friend idea is really breathtaking.
Looking to Ino with a dull eyes, Sakura wants to give this girl beside her a good smash. after what she said how dare this blonde girl beside her take her to the Uzumaki house.
10 hours ago
''Is good to know that we can still find answer to all this because of Naruto, the problem is, that jerk hate me.. So how you sure he will help me?'' Sakura said crossing her both hand of her chest.
Hinata didn't answer to her question but rather, she curious the reason why there so much gap between them. With hesitation on her word, the pearly eyes speak '' A-ah, i-know is not my business, b-but can you tell me why y-you two become like this, if i heard it right, the two of you are f-friends before?'' then look down feel a little shy to what she asking.
Sakura look at Ino, cause even she's the one that Hinata's asking, she didn't know the answer for herself because she's not the Sakura they know, but she can't broadcast that to everyone, so the only one who can answer Hinata's question is a blonde-haired girl beside them.
Ino who feel the gaze of Sakura just make a soft cough so that Hinata's attention turn to her.
''T-they just have a simple misunderstanding'' Ino said have a fake smile but Hinata sense all those glaring of the two girl to each other and suddenly a tears fell to her pinkish cheeks, make the two of them worry and fluster to see Hinata crying suddenly.
''H-hey Hinata what's wrong?'' Sakura ask holding her both shoulder.
'' i thought, we are friends now, but- but you seem you don't trusted me at all'' feeling that her two friend hiding something to her, cause they haven't fully trusted her make her feel sad. Hinata that still crying cover her small face using her both hand.
The two felt guilty seeing the reaction of their pearly eyes friend. So Sakura sigh '' Ne, Hinata, i'm sorry if you felt like that, i didn't meant to, the reason i can't answer you question cause even i want to tell you, i can't-'' Sakura voice is full of sincerity and Hinata felt it, causing her to stop crying and look to the pink haired girl.
''why?''
Sakura wants to tell to Hinata about her memory at least even on that part, she become honest to her friend, cause to all the things she tell, since she come to that world, the fact she can't remember it, is the only true to all thing she uttered.
''- cause i don't remember it, Hinata all of my past. i can't remember it, so the only one who know's everything here is Ino, that's why i'm looking at her.'' Sakura said.
After Sakura explain why she doesn't remember anything, Hinata quickly apologizes for her doubts about their friendship.
Then ask Ino to tell them what happened between her and the whisker boy, cause deep inside Sakura want's to know it too..
And for Ino's revelation, Sakura shock state is stay for the rest of the class, she can't even focus, knowing her best friends dream ruin because of her other self.She know very well how hard Naruto try to aim his dreams like the Naruto she know on her world, those hardship he overcome.
So, how on earth she will deal with the person whose dream was ruined because of her other self, even she's not the one who did it, even so, the fact that she's Haruno Sakura that every know in this world. And seeing the whisker boy? how can she do that and act that she didn't know anything at all?
But now.....
Sakura frozen like a hard statue in front of the gate of the house of the Uzumaki. ''I-ino is this your great plan?!'' Shaking her both hand
''yes it is! Naruto can't run if we corner him in his room, great idea right?'' then wink to the pink haired girl that already boiling for annoyance of her bragging plan.
''Well let's go?'' Ino said smiling at her not even bother to her uncomfortable look and not hesitating to click the door bell.
When a voice speak and said '' wait a minute i open it up'' Sakura feel cold sweat on her forehead and even on her both palm, she so nervous to see Naruto after what happened. Her inner self screaming to run away before those door opened but some part of her mind saying to stay, for the shake of her other self.
The sound that come to the open door make her more anxious but when a pretty red haired lady come out, all those anxious she felt vanish in instant.
''Ino chan! Long time no see, what bring you here and-'' the pretty red lady stop when she see a pink girl beside Ino.
''who's the guest darling'' the yellow man how follow the red haired lady peeking on the door make Sakura eyes more wider, seeing those two couple standing in front of her, make her heart feel so much joy,
-cause in this world Naruto's family
''his family, they are alive'' Inner Sakura said, felt so much overwhelm to the reality in front of her naked eyes, but suddenly her joy to see them change in complicity
Sakura automatically make a one step backward, when her mind snap up about what her blonde friend said, knowing what happened to Naruto, she won't be surprised if his family hates her too, who will be happy if you see the person who ruined their son's dream, the important thing right now for Sakura is to know that in this world, Naruto has experienced how to have a family , and feel the love of a mother that he always longing for so much long,
In case her family is sent her away in their house she won't feel any resentment and will accept it wholeheartedly. Beside she think she deserve it, she will think other way to find the answer of her question rather to bother Naruto on her mess.
''Oh dear! it's is really Sakura?''
Sakura mind snap when the red haired lady hurriedly approached her, and before she could speak, a warm hug give her by the pretty red lady and the yellow man tap gently her head while Ino smile at them.
''It's been a long time,i happy to see you again, my child'' she added. the warm welcome of the Uzumaki couple make Sakura anxious totally disappeared, and a tears burst on her.
''I-i....i'm sorry '' Sakura said holding Kuzhina's back tightly.
''Oh dear, i make this pretty young girl cry,'' she smile then hold Sakura' face with her soft hand. '' Look at me dear, you don't need to say sorry, you never do anything wrong'' she added.With her tender eyes that showing her affection and sincerity toward to the pink haired girl. Sakura nod and smile and those anxious and guiltiness feel in her heart fade away instantly and change with a courage to face her best friend once it for all.
Inside the Uzumaki house, the couple tell to the young lady to wait inside the room of their son while they preferring some snacks.
The whisker boy who busy playing videos games didn't bother to look when a knock sound heard come out in his room
'' mom, i will eat later'' he said not paying attention that his door is now open and the two lady is already standing behind him instead the one he calling mom.
When Naruto feel the presence of someone behind him, he title his head ''mom, i told you i will eat- wooohhhh!''
Bang!
To see unexpected visitor make him shock and stumble and fell from his bed.Naruto face is on the floor while his lower body twisted slightly and still on the top of the bed.
The two ladies who wetness all clumsiness of the whisker boy and his funny position blast on laugh while holding their tummy.
''T-that's so hilarious Naruto'' Ino said still laughing like there is no tomorrow.
Naruto who quickly stand up and have a red face for a shame and for laughing of Ino like crazy
''w-what the two of you doing here'' he said in his serious tone, changing the topic quickly showing that he is not glad to see those two in his room but before even Ino can answer he speak again
'' i'm not in a mode right now so get out on my room '' he said back to his bed and start to play games again like everything that happened is not happened at all.
Ino and Sakura who felt annoyed on his attitude start whining when the both of them sense something, something that make their quiver and feel scared. A dark aura can sense out side the room, and both of them felt terrified.
Sakura flinch, those kind of aura felt like a chakra to her, she quickly search it, looking every corner of the room '' it's might the one who create this world'' she whisper.
But when the three of them hearing a vibrating scary voice , a voice like something scary thing will show if they look back at the door behind them. Sakura ready her grip if the enemy suddenly show up.
''Na-ru-to'' the scary voice said.
Naruto who knew already where that voice come, are now shaking and sweating like crazy while slowly look behind, and when he see those red hair and those horrified look of her mother he immediately jump on the bed and kneel down,
''m-mom'' choking on his on saliva.
the pink haired girl who lost word upon seeing Kuzhina, felt like her soul is taking away for so much dumbstruck.
''what did you say about our guest, huh Naruto?''
shaking head faster like crazy Naruto said'' i-i didn't say anything, i din't say anything'' with to much sweat of his face like he is soaking on his own sweat.
Kushina face back to her angelic look immediately'' is that so? I just misheard it, sorry for Interrupt your conversation..here eat some cookies'' and give the snack to the three brat before go and leave those three in the state of shock specially Sakura.
After a few second of silence, after regaining their mind in to shock the two lady start they business to the whisker boy.
''we heard it to Hinata, you know something about what happen to Kabuto.'' Sakura ask directly.
Naruto look at her then throw himself on the bed.'' yeah i know everything''
''then tell us'' Ino said
''why should i?'' Naruto said then turn his back to those two girls.
''what? Hey Naruto,do you know what that bastard do to Sakura? they framing her to something she didn't do! -'' but Naruto just stay quiet, form a glint of annoyance of the blonde girl.
''-I'm talking to you you idiot answer me-'' Ino stop when Sakura hold her hand and shake her head.
''Naruto-'' Sakura said to the yellow haired guy that still facing on the wall and just pretending like he was sleep.
''- i know is a bit late, but want to say sorry to you''
Naruto who pretending to sleep, open his eyes after hearing those word to the pink haired girl.
''right now, i'm in a mess, and involving you is to much, after everything i done to you, but your the one who can help me to clean my name to those accusation they throwing to me, and i know -''
Sakura know's in heart that her apology can't bring back those ruined dream of him, but she know that her other self is so guilty to vanish with out saying those word to her precious friends.
So even Naruto refuse to help her, she just want Naruto forgive her other self. Sakura look to Ino and then walk to through the door when Naruto suddenly roused up call her ''S-sakura chan''
looking back, Sakura almost burst to cry when see those blissful smile of him while uttering her name like before and after of a couple of tearing scene between the pink haired girl and the whisker boy, Naruto start to tell what really happened.
The day before Kabuto beat up
''Teme,! what took you so long,'' Naruto scream like his cored of every part of his neck want to blast for so much annoyed to the raven haired guy.
It almost 2 hours already passed when they decided to meet up in front of the burger shop to play basketball with they friends but Sasuke is so d*mn late.
''I clean the room'' he said not having feel sorry for the dobe that waiting to long
''You clean the room? and you spend to 2 hours to clean it?'' the dobe is full annoyance for the dark haired guy who have a same expression every day and saying a useless excuse.
''Aa-there's a things who interrupted my cleaning''
''And what's that?''
''A annoying thing'' he said then start his journey toward to their destination.
He still doubt about Sasuke's excuse, cause base on the expression on his friend's face, he can't see anything of those annoying thing he saying. His face is look like his not annoyed at all.The whisker guy just shrugged and scowl.
''That teme, he can't even show any sorry for me who waiting longer here and just telling me an excuse that obviously is a lie'' then follow his friend that already walking away not bother that he still staying behind.
The two boys talking continuously when Sasuke suddenly stop and look to the opposite side of the road. Naruto who notice that his friend is looking something also stop walking then follow the direction what his friend looking at. In the other side of the road, they saw Kabuto walking faster while dragging someone, the face of the girl is look very uncomfortable and just looking down but the four eye guy still dragging her not even aware that the girl is having difficulty to walk straight. The girl ware different uniform, and have a brown short curly hair.
''i didn't know Kabuto have already a girlfriend'' Naruto said staring to the two like they in the middle of arguing, then start walking again.
But Naruto notice that his friend Sasuke gaze is still focus to the couple on the other side so Naruto called him '' Teme, let's go ''
''Aa'' Sasuke said then continue walking behind Naruto.
The basketball match between their friends ended a bit late, and two guy waiting patiently for the bus.
''Let's have a re-match tomorrow'' Naruto said gripping his fist.
''Sure, but you staying on the bench'' Sasuke said in ironic way, obviously he is not happy to the result of the game.
And Naruto who has been riled by what the dark haired muttered, felt a bit enrage, ''hmp! he'd always been very full of himself, it make's me annoyed to his attitude'' he murmur then eye on the road and pretend he just looking for the bus.
''I can hear you idiot''
''T-teme!''
Naruto is about to explode to annoyance and challenge the Uchiha in a fight like he always do when Sasuke gaze focus on something else.
''D-don't ignore me Sasuke'' Naruto said still angry to his friend that serious looking to the group of the guy who walking toward to their location.
While his friend continued to grumble like a child and still did not feel the strange look he had on the group of men who were now also standing near them and seemed to be waiting for the bus as well. Sasuke who watching them recognize the uniform they wearing.
''Same as that girl'' he remember the uniform that the girl earlier wearing but the thing what the raven guy caught attention the most is the guy who have a red hair and eye liner on his eyes, and have a messy uniform and his hand, have a trace of a blood. His gaze still fixed to that guy, until the bus that the group waiting come after a couple of minute and all of them go inside.
''Hey Sasuke, i think those guys-,
-it looks like those are come from the strange party'' Naruto said who was still staring at the road where the bus headed.
Sasuke look at him a bit surprised, and those face of him make Naruto annoyance continue. '' don't look me like that ''
''what look?''
Pointing his index finger to the Uchiha, Naruto said '' The dark eyes of yours saying, you thought i'm stupid right!?''
''I'm glad you know'' then smirk at the yellow head guy and before Naruto can react Sasuke go inside the bus that come in the right time.
The next morning the gossip about Kabuto beating up by some thug order by the pink haired girl spread so fast like a fire.
''Teme, can you tell me what the reason why we are here?'' Naruto could not understand what they were doing outside of another school.
When he said catch a fish, all this time he thought they will going to some lake or river to do fishing but why they end up outside this school that a little to far away from where they live.
''Hey teme, can you just explain it and not just ignoring me''
Sasuke's narrow his eyebrow, and have with a little remorse and frowning, Sasuke think that come along here with this loud dobe is a wrong decision.
''Dobe can you shut your damn mouth even just this once'' then give him a final warning using his sharp gaze and Naruto automatically obey.
When the bell ring and the student are coming out one by one, after a few minutes of looking to those student who passed by, Sasuke who see what he searching on, suddenly walk toward to the girl who have short curly brown hair standing outside the gate, seem like she waiting someone too.
The whisker boy who just watching his friend smirk '' That teme, he just want to see a girl but he can't say it, what a loser.'' he said laughing on his own weird thought.
He just watching far from where they are, so Naruto can't heard what the two talking about so seriously, when he saw Sasuke take out his phone, like their something Sasuke want to show to the girl, Naruto grin ''Wow, that jerk is so fast, asking the girl phone number even they just only meet hehe''
And after brief of talking, the girl already left when she see her companion.Walking back to the dobe who have a silly smile Sasuke groan seeing those stupid smile of his friend.
''I warn you don't talk or think nonsense if you want to go home with complete part of your body'' Sasuke said then start walking leaving again the whisker boy.
''Teme, wait for me, i didn't talk or think'' but Sasuke still walking and not stoping ''that teme, always leave me behind'' Naruto furious on his own breath, for being always bossy tone of his friend but still he can't help himself not to follow his friend
It's already time for dinner but Naruto still wandering around with his friend on the street,
'' Can we go find something to eat first'' he wince and like earlier he just ignore by his friend that to busy staring all the people walking there and that.
But when a familiar guy walking toward to their direction Sasuke suddenly walk and block his path.
Naruto frown to see who's the guy that Sasuke trying to pick a fight and he immediately run toward them with he see it's Kabuto.
''Sasuke teme, what are you doing?'' he ask but Sasuke eyes fixed on Kabuto who just frowning too for suddenly blocking his path by the dark haired guy.
''what do you want'' he said
Sasuke smirk'' talk''
In the quiet alley the two guy who facing each other are still quiet and just staring each other gaze while Naruto who standing on the back still confused.
''Just tell me what do you want'' Kabuto who broke the silent first.
''Confess'' Sasuke said
''What are you saying? I don't have plan to fooling around here, i still need to attend my cram school. so-''
The babbling of the four eye boy make the Uchiha smirk and frown. '' Seem you are really busy so i make it faster'' take his phone on his pocket Sasuke show something to the Kabuto make his complexion turn in pale, like he see something horror.
Sasuke smirk '' You know this girl right?''
''w-what are you talking about i never meet that girl''
The Uchiha who still never left his sharp gaze to the guy in front of him call his friend behind and show the picture on his cellphone.
Naruto who immediately recognize the girl look at Kabuto '' hey men, this is your girlfriend right? i saw both of you yesterday and this is also the same girl that you talking earlier right Sasuke?''Naruto said recognizing the girl on Sasuke's phone.
''W-wait a second, does it mean-''
Sasuke who having a smirk on his lips, look at amaze to his friend, for guessing what happened even he didn't said it clearly to him.
''-the two of you (look to Sasuke and then to Kabuto) are you fighting because of one girl!'' he shouted.
Sasuke mouth drop to what his friend useless uttered, he so fool on himself to believe that this friend of him can get's what going on and forget that this guy is so dense. Sasuke hold his forehead, he felt like he got a headache for being brainless of the yellow haired guy.
and Kabuto who also shock, having a same thought about Naruto.
''What? did i guess it wrong?'' he said scratch his head.
Sasuke who just decide to ignore his friend back his gaze to the four eye guy.. '' i know you know her, and i know what you done to her''
Kabuto who flinch and look away for what the dark haired guy uttered ''i-i don't know what your talking about''
Sasuke walk near to him ''still denying?The one who beat you up is the friend of this girl right?''
Seeing the reaction of the face of Kabuto, Sasuke hit the jackpot. Actually when he meet the girl, Sasuke only ask the girl if he knew the guy on the photo.
flashback.
''Hey '' Sasuke said when he approached the brown haired girl that standing near in the gate and the girl only look at her.
''My friend and i is a bit lost, i'm looking to this friend of mine but i don't know where his house'' Sasuke said and even it's a lie the serious handsome face of him make the girl automatic offer her help.
''Do you know this guy, it's my friend and i know he leave around here'' Sasuke show his phone to the girl and act like he searching on his surrounding by looking here and there, but a soon the girl saw those photo his face look horrified, her body shiver like crazy and all of that never escape on Sasuke's dark eyes.
The girl didn't answer and only looking down, holding her skirt tightly.
Sasuke back his phone in his pocket '' i guess you didn't know him, then i'm going now thank you for your time '' Sasuke said.
''I-im sorry i didn't even help you'' the girl said still looking down
Sasuke smile '' I'ts okay''
The girl who saw her friend excuse herself to the Uchiha and go, but before it turn her back at him in a simple and fast move, the Uchiha take a photo of the girl in his cellphone. And Sasuke who just turning his back jerk upon seeing a familiar red guy and his gaze fixed on the same direction where the girl went.
All the thing in his mind is just a hunch from the start, but seeing Kabuto's horrified reaction, his gut's is right all along.
''So? Did i guest it right'' Sasuke show his arrogant smirk.
The mood between the two guy who glaring each other become more intense. No one, want's to back off of their death glaring to each other. Even the place is so loud from all the people who walking here and there and so many cars that passing by every minute, the atmosphere feels like, silent eaten all of them, the two guy that having different thought in mind is to focus and observing one another when the dobe fox guy open his mouth and say something make the intense two man turn in dumbfounded look.
''So, tell me, did my guess is wrong?'' repeating what he said.
Sasuke who want to give his friend a punch rather those four eye jerk look at the yellow haired guy in his very scary look. '' if you can't say something that have more sense, can you closed your damn mouth!''
He know is friend is slow but being to much stupid like this is a bit to much, how the heck he still can't figure it out after what the two of them talking right now, releasing a long sigh of annoyance Sasuke relax his annoyed face when Kabuto laugh like crazy.
''Hey Sasuke, are you sure you want to be friend with the fool guy? You know what? Your image will ruin if you continue to be friend with a empty brain brat like him.''
What Kabuto uttered make Naruto range goes up in his nerve '' what did you say four eye''
But Kabuto gaze only focus to the Uchiha who already back to his compose self not even bother to the presence of the loud dobe. '' You seem to be surrounded by worthless people, this dimwit yellow head guy and the pink haired bitch''
Naruto who know who's this guy talking about when he said the pink haired bitch was and that fact make him more range. And Sasuke who still have a same expression flinch.
''- well their not the only one who have no brain here'' holding the bridge of his glasses Kabuto release a soft but creepy smirk ''- i guess denying it useless now, when i already corner like this, and your right this bruise in my face'' pointing some bandage in his face that still sore for the punch last time Kabuto said it out loud like he is so proud of it '' this is not cause by that pink bitch!''
