The News

"GYAH!!" A melodramatic Ino called out from where she sat, grasping her head in her hands seemingly in pain.

Every person in the room had already been on edge, and Ino's shout startled everyone there, even the oh-so-cool-and-arrogant Sasuke and Shino. Sakura personally could have sworn her heart had jumped from her chest. The pink haired teen came to a wabbly stand and turned to Ino. "What?! Whats wrong?!"

Ino threw her arms in the air as she responded, "All of this is making my head hurt!" The blonde complained. Thankfully, before Sakura could destroy Ino, Temari had already thrown a pelow towards Ino's head. It probably wasnt as painful as what Sakura's fists would have been, but at the very least it shut the girl up. Sakura shook her head in disbeleif and exhasperation before plopping back down upon the couch beside Sasuke. Ino had a habit of being both dramatic and increadibly dim-witted. "Why are we so concerned about all this anyways? Its just another book! This is a sleepover, lets have fun!" The blonde wined. That particular comment made Sakura think, why were they all obsessing over this? It was a simple book that Sakura had found in her closet. So what? It nearly took everything she had to ignore the nagging feeling that she was all-around missing something. All around the room, eyes met; everyone thinking the same: Ino was ACTUALLY right. As if on que, Sakura's cell phone gave a destinct ring, signalling her parents were calling. This particular event seemed to have startled everyone--It also proved that Naruto not only had A.D.H.D, but he had issues with random sounds that came out of no where. Exhibit A: Doorbells and Ringtones.

Taking out her phone, Sakura flipped it open and pressed it to her ear. "Hello?" Sakura murmured.

"Miss Sakura Haruno?" Asked an unfamiluar voice.

"Yeah, thats me." The thing that bugged Sakura was how a complete stranger called, while using her parent's ringtone...?

"Your parents--they, well, they were involved in an automobile collision," The voice had seemed almost reluctant to be the one to call her, and know Sakura knew why.

Sakura's faced paled, and her face fell. Every eye in the room upon Sakura, everyone noticing the fact that the news must've been bad.

"Sakura, who is that?" Inquired a curious and worried Sasuke, "What are they saying."

Sakura couldnt gather herself together in time to answer, her throat was dry as sand and her eyes wide as plates. "A-are they alright?" Her voice sounded weak and shaky.

"No ones sure yet, their currently in the opperating room. Their at Starbird Little Pine Hospital. If you have any other questions, call back at this number." Then a click was heard and the line fell to a dull tone signalling he had hung up. Sakura did the same, gazing at the phone in her palm. They were in the operating room? Was it really that horrible of a collision? Were her parents going to live? And there was that damned Starbird again! Why would a town celebrate an old dead crazy guy?! So many things ran through Sakura's head, she wasnt sure what her exhpression at the moment. Though she knew the color still hadnt returned to her face.

"So, what did they say?" Shikamaru asked from across the room. Sakura shook her head, her throat too dry to speak right then.

Clearing her throat--though it still felt like sandpaper--Sakura took a few deep breaths. "My parents are in the hospital--they were in a car accident..."

In that mere instant, the room went speechless; a few jaws dropped as well.

"De' Ja' Vous," Spoke Naruto, soon to be glared at by Sasuke.

"Idiot, whats that to do with anything?"

"Well, the not by that Starbird guy said that weird things might happen, right?" Naruto pointed out.

Sasuke frowned, "How did you know that?"

"I was reading over your shoulder Sasuke,"

'Sheesh,' Sakura thought, 'since when was Naruto that sneaky?' She shook her head at the thought, now was not the time to think of those things. Folding her legs up against her chest, Sakura hugged them tight as if it would make the situation any less horrifyingly horrible. What if her parents really did die? When that thought had passed through her mind, Sakura could feel tears sting at her eyes as she tried with everything she had to hold them back. Sasuke spotted this, and in response slid next the the pink-haired girl, pressing her head to his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her. What was going on?

OoOoOoOoOoOo
