AngelDemonSakura – LOL, this is my second favorite review as of late xD
AnimaAmore – Why thank you(: I don't like worms very much but I thought it'd be an interesting way to go with things. My aunt used to tell me that if I walked around outside barefooted, I'd get worms in my body. It scared me so much xD Sorry, it's not the sound nin but thanks for guessing!

Iheartitachiuchiha – -emo inflates- Why thank you, thank you very much! Sand sibs? Not quite, but good guess(:
kurohime1024 – Woop woop! Ah, I think being a princess would be fun in a way, but with all those responsibilities, you might as well kill me. I can barely keep up with my school work xD Nope, not at all. Sakura wears what she wants when she wants to. I don't like the typical pairs very much. Well, I like them, but I like making them unexpectedly come up. It gets the readers guessing(: I love Kimimaro too! He's one of my favorites. Even though he's evil. Of course, I didn't like the "trying-to-kill-Gaara-because-I'm-Orochimaru's-bitch" thing but he's still cute none the less. Thanks for reviewing!
mayalice – I'm so very glad you like it! :D Thanks for reviewing!

xxxSakuraXionHinamorixxx – It's cool. My stories usually get most of their reviews like months or weeks after I post them xD Oh really? You should have guessed. I like writing one-shots though. It gives me an excuse and like guidelines and stuff. I have tons of possibilities and it helps me keep up. If I didn't have to write them, I probably wouldn't have anything written xD
Yuuki-Hime 2097 – Aw phooey, you didn't get them right, but thanks for guessing(:

Okay, so I'm still in the process of trying to get some of the Naruto bishounen in my possession. But as of now, they still belong to what's-her-name. The author who made Naruto. That woman needs to answer my e-mail.

Pairing: Sakura x Multi
Chapter 4
No POV
"This is the science building. And this one's the computer lab, and I'm not sure what that one is. Someone told me the building has ghosts in it but I haven't checked it out yet," Haku rambled, pulling Sakura around the campus, followed closely behind by his elder brother and his best friend.
"Haku, I think you should slow down. It looks like she's about to puke!" Kimimaro warned. And true to his word, Sakura had turned a light hue of green.
Haku quickly stopped moving, causing Sakura, who hadn't had enough reaction time to stop, to bump into him, thus causing them to land in a heap on the ground. Kimimaro and Zabuza quickly helped them up. "You guys alright?" asked the snow haired prince.
"Just dandy!" she responded cheerfully. She looked at her watch. "It's 7:30. We only have 45 minutes to get there and eat or else we're going without food until tomorrow."
"We could've just stayed in your room and ordered from there…" Kimimaro sighed. He couldn't imagine why she had insisted on going to the cafeteria. There were servants there to bring them food so why not use the service?
"Well, I never thought of that…" Kimimaro nearly facepalm-ed himself. "But anyway, I wanted to see what the cafeteria here looked like. There might be people there!" she said excitedly. "Not to mention, you need to walk to help your immune system and body health so you don't get sick again. Right Zabuza-kun?" He simply nodded. Kimimaro sighed. The simplicity of the girl stunned him.
Sakura was suddenly dragged away again. "Sakura-chan! There's the cafeteria! Let's go!" Haku yelled, pointing to a beautifully ornate door. He grabbed the handle and pulled with all his might. The door refused to budge. "I think the door's broken!"
Sakura saw a sign on the side of the door and laughed. "Um Haku-kun…"
"Yes?" he growled, still trying to dislodge the heavy structure.
"Push it." Haku did so and it opened. He blushed prettily at having embarrassed himself in front of such a pretty girl.
Sakura patted him on the back. "It's okay! I do that all the time!" She skipped into the cafeteria and her mouth nearly dropped. The place was ginormous! All the tables were made of a beautiful black marble; the chairs were all carefully crafted out of a white, see through rock and were finished with a soft, black, plush cushion. Many of the seats were occupied with students from the academy.
On each side of the cafeteria were three kitchens. The kitchen on the left side of the room was labeled appetizers. The kitchen on the opposite end of the kitchen was labeled main course and the kitchen on the right side was labeled desserts and drinks.
Sakura grabbed Kimimaro and Zabuza's hands and pulled them through the hustle and bustle. Haku followed behind obediently. "What do I do?" she asked excitedly.
"Well…" Kimimaro started, but was quickly interrupted by Zabuza.
"Press the red button." She did so and the screened kitchen quickly opened. She squealed.
A woman in a chef's garb came towards them. "What would you like today ma'am?" she asked.
"Umm…" she looked towards the men.
"Egg rolls!" Haku shouted.
"For four?" the woman asked. Sakura nodded. She handed Sakura a green card with the number '113' on it. Sakura took it dumbly.
"What do I do with this?" she whispered to her companions.
"They'll call the number and the color when our food's done," Kimimaro said smartly, handing the woman $50. She gave him back $20. They walked towards one of the less crowded tables and sat down. "The food here is pretty reasonably priced."
"It's so cool in here!" she squealed, swiveling her chair back and forth. They just shrugged. "How long have you guys been here anyways?"
"A few weeks, I think…"
"Green 113!" a voice shouted.
Zabuza went back to the kitchen and grabbed the food. "Well that was fast," Sakura said.
"Yeah. These people are pretty quick on their feet. There are also rumors that there's at least one chef in each kitchen that has the power to for-see the future and that they already know what you're going to order before you even do," Kimimaro commented casually.
"That would be so cool!" Sakura grabbed one of the egg rolls and took a bite. Her eyes sparkled. "These are AMAZING!"
"Thanks?" said a voice. Sakura swiveled around and came face to face with a chubby boy with red swirls on his cheeks. "It's our family recipe."
"It's genius! In the batter, I can taste… salt… sugar… black pepper… soy sauce… some powdered garlic… oyster sauce… tofu… beef… carrots, lettuce, and a few other vegetables…" she took another bite and chewed it thoughtfully. "And is that cinnamon and… chicken's blood?"
The boy looked at her delightedly. "Yeah! How'd you do that?"
"I have amazing taste buds," she winked.
"I can tell!"
Kimimaro and Haku frowned at being ignored. They weren't jealous but they did not like having her attention was being stolen by some fat kid who wore his underwear on his head! "Who are you?" Kimimaro hissed, his face still naturally composed.
"Oh sorry. I'm Prince Chouji." The boys nearly fell out of their chairs. This fat, overbearing food hog was a prince? Unbelievable!
She stuck her hand out to the boy. "I'm Princess Sakura. Nice to meet you!" He took his hand out of his bag of chips, wiped it on his shirt then shook her hand earnestly. "Where are you from?"
"I'm from the Tochi no Tabemono. Our specialty, cooking and baking."
"I've been there before! That place has the most amazing food in all the nations!"
"That's what we're famous for after all."
"The cakes there are to DIE for," she said to her three infuriated companions.
"Chouji! We told you to wait so we could introduce ourselves together!" cried out two voices simultaneously. They all turned to see two boys running towards them. Except for their hairstyles, their faces and clothing, which consisted of the typical Jounin shirt, vest and pants, were entirely identical.
'Twins?' The three boys thought.
"Hello Princess Sakura. I'm Prince Izumo," said the twin with his hair slicked over to the side, his bangs covering his eyes.
"And I'm Prince Kotetsu," bowed the twin with spiked up hair and what seemed to be a bandage on his nose.
"We're from the Tochi no Maboroshi," they exclaimed simultaneously.
"Do they usually do this?" Haku whispered to Chouji. The boy nodded.
"You get used to it."
"You guys are twins right?" Sakura asked.
"Yup!"
"I knew it!" She shouted, fist pumping the air excitedly. "Anyways, I'm Princess Sakura from Tochi no Hana, but you knew that. This is Prince Kimimaro from Tochi no Shinda, and Prince Haku, and Prince Zabuza from Yukimura!"
"Nice to meet you!" greeted the three new princes. Kimimaro gave them a smile, Haku shook their hands earnestly, and Zabuza just nodded.
"Mmm! All finished! On to the main course!" And she ran towards the other end of the room. The princes of snow and the prince of death stared at the plate. All the egg rolls were gone. There were thirty of them. And she had just eaten them all. They quickly followed her.
Sakura stared at the touch screen computer, flipping through the food choices. "What to get… what to get…"
"The… Caesar salad is pretty nice. If you want something super low carbed like the other girls…" Chouji said, popping up beside her.
"… Salad? Really…? I love it and all but seriously. I need meat. And lots of it." Chouji grinned. He liked this girl already
"How about the barbeque chicken? The steak here is really nice and juicy too. Then there's the meat platter which comes in three sizes; small, normal, and jumbo."
"Of course, Chouji's the only one that could ever eat the jumbo platter!" Kotetsu said jokingly. Upon hearing the statement, her eyes started to twinkle.
"I bet I could!" The six boys all looked at each other and then started to laugh, even Zabuza.
"You're funny Sakura!" Izumo said, wiping a tear from his eyes. Sakura just stared at them.
"I was being dead serious…"
"Sakura, you seem to underestimate the size of the platter. When we mean jumbo, we mean JUMBO. Like, a fourth of a table jumbo."
Sakura just stared at them. "Yeah, and?" She turned towards the lunch lady and gave her order. The plate came out within the next ten minutes. They all stared at the plate, wide-eyed.
"Well damn. You weren't kidding."
"Well, whatever you don't finish off, I won't mind eating," Chouji said, munching on his bag of chips.
Sakura placed the plate on the table and turned to Chouji, a smirk on her face and her hand on her hip. "You underestimate me my dear. I WILL finish this."
Chouji smirked. "I bet you a year worth of free food that you won't be able to finish it.
"You are SO on!"
Sakura sat into the chair and tied her bangs into a cute little ponytail at the top of her head with a cherry rubber band. The boys gathered around her. She took her chopsticks and broke them apart. "Itadakimasu!" She took a bite of the meat and her eyes began to see stars. "Oh. My. God. THIS IS DELICIOUS!" And she started to devour the entire plate. Within twenty minutes, she had finished more than 3/4ths of the plate. She had, unknowingly, attracted a large crowd of bystanders. The girls looked at her in disgust while the boys cheered her on. Finally, at 27 minutes and 38 seconds, she had finished the plate, her mouth covered in the sticky brown sauce.
"IN YOUR FACE CHOUJI!' She screamed. "Is there any more?" she asked innocently. Everyone sweat dropped. The girl had just finished one of the biggest meat platter in history and she was still hungry. What was she, a black hole?
"You, are a worthy rival Sakura, a worthy rival indeed," Chouji said in disbelief.
"If you had finished it like 4 minutes earlier, you would've beat Chouji's record!" the twins said simultaneously.
"Well damn. I guess I have a new goal," she said grinning. She began to lick the sauce off of her face. Her tongue childishly lapped off the sauce, causing her face to contort into cute expressions. The boys began to blush. "Done!"
Suddenly, Izumo and Kotetsu licked both of her cheeks. She began to blush. "What was that for?!" She said, rubbing her flaming cheeks. They both chuckled at her cuteness.
"You had sauce on your face," they said grinning. "And you're right, it was… delicious." They smirked deviously, causing Sakura to flush even harder. Kimimaro, Zabuza and Haku rolled their eyes in mock irritation.
Kimimaro grabbed a wet napkin from the automated dispenser and gently turned Sakura's face toward him. He began to gently wipe her cheeks as a mother would do to a child. Her face began to puff up cutely. "I'm not a little kid guys," she pouted.
"We know! But you're so cute!" Haku said cheerfully. Sakura grinned.
"Thanks Haku-kun, Kimi-kun! Oh, and you guys too!" She said, turning to the mischievous twins. She turned to Chouji. "I'm definitely coming to you for food suggestions."
"Please do!" He said grinning.
"Now onto dessert!" She stood up and almost walked towards to the dessert when Zabuza appeared in front of her, a large plate of blueberry cheesecake, a piece of strawberry shortcake, a piece of sweet potato pie, and a glass of milk.
"Zabuza! How'd you know what my favorite desserts were?!" He just shrugged.
"That's Zabuza-nii-chan's favorite food too!" Haku intruded.
She took the plate from him and tip-toed to kiss his cheek. "Thank you Zabuza-kun!" she said, grinning. She placed the dessert on the table and began to devour the desserts post haste. Zabuza just stood there red, stunned, and for some reason - extremely giddy.
Just as Sakura took her last bite of her cake, the cafeteria doors burst open once again, making the cafeteria go silent. In strode a very hot and very loud blonde with bright cerulean eyes and an obnoxious jumpsuit of orange and blue.
"Who in the world is that?" Sakura whispered to her companions.
"He's Prince Uzumaki Naruto from Konoha," Izumo responded.
"Aka, the ramen king," Kotetsu said, following up.
"The ramen king?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Wait for it!" Chouji said.
"BAA-CHAN! THREE BOWLS OF CHICKEN RAMEN, SIX BOWLS OF SPICY SHRIMP RAMEN, FOUR BOWLS OF BEEF RAMEN, AND FIVE BOWLS OF MISO RAMEN!" He yelled loudly. Sakura winced at the loudness.
"Oh, that's why. Is he always so…" she trailed off.
"Loud? Obnoxious?" She nodded. "Yup. Pretty much." Sakura turned back to look at the boy carrying his extremely large order of ramen to a table in a secluded corner near the doors. Sakura saw the distasteful stares given to him as he passed and immediately, her heart dropped. The only one that hadn't seemed to glare was the mysterious hooded figure sitting at the same table.
"Why… why do they keep looking at him that way? He's a prince isn't he?"
"There are a lot of rumors," Chouji started. "Some say that he's was adopted."
"Others say that he's the bastard child between the current Hokage," Izumo butt in. "And some say that he's out to kill the entire royal family of Konoha."
"But one thing's for sure, he possesses a powerful nine tailed demon called Kyuubi inside of him and that as he grows older, the seal used to seal it will grow weaker and weaker until eventually, he'll only be able to control it with his own will. People are afraid that they'll get killed if they hang out with him," Chouji finished.
"That's a shame. He's so cute too," Sakura sighed. Suddenly, an idea came to her. She immediately steam lined towards Naruto and slammed her hands on the table. "HI! I'M HARUNO SAKURA FROM TOCHI NO HANA AND I'D LIKE TO BE YOUR FRIEND!" She shouted bluntly. The boys behind her sweat dropped as the entire cafeteria went silent. Naruto stared at her, eyes wide, and mouth full of hanging ramen.
There was a long lingering silence. Well, there was one until the mysterious hooded man sitting across from Naruto burst into laughter.
"Wh-What's so funny?" Sakura asked him.
"You know what this kid is right? He's a demon container for one of the largest monsters known to man," the boy/man informed. She saw Naruto look down ashamed, a sad look on his face.
"And?" She didn't care. He was a normal person. A normal person with a demon in him, but he was still a normal person. What did she care?
"And you're still gonna befriend him?"
"Well, yeah. It's not like he's carrying some deadly disease or something so I don't see why not."
"You positive 'bout this, girl?" he smirked. Sakura started to twitch. She jumped on the table and pulled the hooded man towards her, chest first.
"Why are you trying so hard to keep me from befriending him?! Do you really want a beating, bastard?!"
"I'm just warning you. This kid's a real," He paused and then snarled, "Monster."
Sakura's hand started to twitch and before she knew it, the hooded figure was thrown halfway across the cafeteria. "FUCK OFF!"
The viewers watched her, stunned. The hooded man quickly stood up, his smirk turning into a large grin. "YOU PASS!" Sakura fell back dumbstruck.
"Wh-What?"
"You pass! You can be Naruto's friend!" Sakura started to twitch again.
"And who gave YOU rights to tell me whether or not I can be Naruto's friend?" she yelled, throwing her hands up in the air exaggeratedly.
"I did. I am his elder brother after all," he said, pulling off his hood to reveal familiar cerulean orbs and long, wild, blonde hair. His face had a straight nose, fine cheekbones, high eye brows, and a finely chiseled structure. He had the face of a god. Sakura looked from Naruto to Naruto's "brother". She could definitely see the resemblance.
"I. Am so. CONFUSED!" Sakura yelled, throwing her arms into the air.
The handsome blonde boy stuck his hand out to Sakura. "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. I'm Uzumaki Minato, Naruto's brother, like I said before." Sakura shook it absentmindedly.
"Umm… Nice to meet you… Minato-kun." He grinned, a perfect set of straight white teeth gleamed at her. She nearly fainted at the pheromone overload, as the fan girls behind her had done.
"Well, you're probably wondering about the test. Well, it's not like lots of people are eager to go and befriend my little brother here," he ruffled Naruto's hair. "So I just make sure that the people that DO try to befriend him aren't trying to hurt him." Sakura could see Naruto's admiration towards his brother in his eyes.
"Well, that makes sense," Sakura said, grinning back at him. She turned towards Naruto and held out her hand.
"It's nice to meet you Naruto-kun." He took it, gripping it firmly.
"It's nice to meet you too Haruno-san."
"Just call me Sakura," she said. "We're friends after all right?" She was suddenly almost blinded by the brightness of Naruto's smile.
"Hai, Sakura-chan!" Sakura gasped suddenly.
"Wh-What?"
"Are those… WHISKERS?!" Naruto looked down.
"Y-Yeah. Th-They're proof that I have K-Kyuubi in me," he said, trying to stabilize his shaking voice. He was afraid, so very afraid of rejection from people. Would she look at him with fear like all the others had done? No… she had said that the demon didn't matter. But people were always different from what they presented themselves as, and it made it hard for him because he trusted people way too easily. That's why he relied on his brother so much.
"They're… they're… THEY'RE SO CUTE!" She said squealing. She had never met anyone with whiskers and they were just the most adorable things ever! She quickly prodded through his hair, searching for a pair of matching ears. "Darn… they're no ears!"
"W-Well no… but… Kyuubi might be able to make some… come out…" he said, his voice gradually changing to a whisper. He'd never had so much female attention before and he was scared of chasing her away.
Sakura's eyes brightened widely. "You can do that?!" Naruto nodded.
Naruto closed his eyes in immense concentration. Kyuubi, please, just once, help me. Please! Naruto was suddenly surrounded by a bright blue chakra and cute little fox ears started to pop out of his head. "KAWAII!" he heard her squeal and he grinned brightly.
"I want some so bad! Can I touch them?" she asked. He nodded, pleased at her reaction. Sakura hesitantly brought her fingers towards his ears and lightly stroked them, feeling the velvety softness beneath her fingers. Suddenly, she heard him purr and a blush spread across his face.
"Hehe…" he chuckled, embarrassedly. He was suddenly knocked out of his chair, Sakura wrapped across his torso.
"You are just too cute!" She said. Suddenly, she was pulled away and placed into a chair.
"Zabuza?" she asked questioningly. Then she remembered something. "Oh, Naruto, if I'm your friend, then my friends are your friends! Meet Zabuza, Kimimaro, Haku, Chouji, Izumo, and Kotetsu!"
Naruto looked at them hesitantly. He was suddenly hit on his back. "Oh don't be shy! They're all really nice people!"
Naruto sucked up his fear and grinned. "Nice to meet you! I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the future Hokage!"
There was a tense silence which was broken by a large chorus of "hellos" and "nice to meet yous". Naruto let out a breath he didn't know he had held. The princes proceeded to introduce themselves and started to chat.
Sakura smiled at the group, satisfied at the progress and turned towards Minato, a wet ice pack appearing out of thin air. She placed it in his cheek.
"Wh-What?"
"It's swelling. And sorry bout that. My strength is kinda well… uncontrollable," she said, chuckling to herself.
Minato grabbed the ice pack from her hand and placed it on the swelling. It would, undoubtedly, bruise for a few days. "I guess it's my fault too. It's a procedural kinda thing though."
"It's all good. Just don't do it again or who knows what might happen," her eyes twinkled. Minato grinned.
"I'll keep that in mind Princess."
Suddenly, Sakura's face turned from cheerful to serious. "I have one question,"
"Ask away."
"Is there any topic we should avoid when talking with Naruto-kun?"
Minato's eyebrows raised in suspicion. "Why?"
Sakura waved her hands in front of her. "No, I meant so we don't bring up any painful memories. I've… been through what he's going through. And I just thought it'd be best if I knew what to avoid…" Minato saw flickers of sadness passing through Sakura's eyes when she looked at Naruto.
"Well… if anything, please avoid the topic of our father, and the village's treatment. And if possible, Kyuubi. He loves the village a lot and does whatever he can to help, but the villagers just don't get it," Minato growled, his hands clenching into porcelain white fists.
Sakura nodded, mentally computing a checklist. "Oh, and does he have any foods he's allergic to?" Minato shook his head. "One more thing, what's his favorite ramen flavor?"
"What?" They had just switched from avoidable topics to ramen. This girl was very… tangent.
"What's his favorite ramen flavor?"
"He doesn't have a favorite, why?"
"Oh. I just wanted to know so when we throw a party or something, I know what to cook."
"A party?"
"Yeah. A party. After all, his birthday will be coming up in October won't it?"
"Well, yes. But how'd you know?"
Sakura winked. "It's a secret." And before Minato could say another word, Sakura bounded back to the group of princes who were having a ramen eating contest.
Minato sighed in exaggerated defeat, his eyes, however, followed Sakura. If one looked closely, you could see the glimmer of hope present in his dark, cerulean orbs. Maybe she was the person who would save Naruto from his dark future. And maybe, just maybe, she could save him too.
Well, bet you guys didn't see that coming. I know Naruto's kinda OCD but well… he'll fix back later. This is just a, pre-Sakura phase. You'll have him back in no time.
Izumo and Kotetsu, I think I'm going to model some of their antics after the Hitachi twins from Ouran High School Host Club. Sadly, this chapter is kinda short but well… I've been lazy xD I hope you guys enjoy it!
Read, review, etc etc. Reviews make me happy :D More reviews, longer chapter. That's how it goes bros. :D
