That same day with Sakura...
She was at Ino's Clan Head Estate, catching up on some studying but for the life of her - she couldn't pay attention...
Her mind was on other things...
Like Sasuke, but Menma's increasing attempts to sway her was annoying...
But then she started to think of Hinata out of nowhere.
Out of everyone...
She's been the most impatient in a way...
The second she got to school, she was ready to leave...
And then with Shikamaru and the others, they were whispering something and she couldn't help but figure out it was about Menma and Narumi's older brother...
Sakura: ... Hm...
Ino: Hm?
Naruto...
She rested her head on her fist and began to scribble a little...
She's doesn't know him very well and it wasn't some obsession, it's just that...
She couldn't figure out why he didn't live with with family...
Sakura: Menma said that he was the Black Sheep. Did he do something to become that way.
*Snap!!* *Snap!!*
Sakura: Hm?
Ino: Earth to Sakura! Hello!?
Sakura: Oh! Yea - right.
Ino: Jeez, what's got your mind right now?
Sakura: Nothing...
Ino: ... Yea, you're lying. Look, it doesn't matter what you try - Sasuke is mine. Try Menma or Kiba, girls like them too -
Sakura: I'm not thinking about them.
Ino: Whoa, you? Not thinking about boy? Something is wrong.
Sakura: 💢
Ino: Heheh c'mon, tell me
Sakura: ... No, it's nothing.
She then got up and packed her stuff...
Ino: Sakura?
Sakura: It's getting late, I'll see you at school tomorrow.
Ino: O...kay...?
With that, she left...
The dawn was waning as she made her way home but as she did...
She saw a hooded boy...
Sakura: Hm?
He ended up getting some things to eat but of course, she couldn't see his face...
Sakura: Is that... him?
He started to get lost in the crowd which made her follow him. She watched as he made his way into the store before coming out...
Then the nearby seafood place...
She kept following him before seeing the teen go into an alleyway...
She made her way in and just like last time...
He was gone...
Sakura: Again? He's go -
Naruto: Why are you following me?
Sakura: (GASP)!!!!
She covered her mouth because she almost yelled...
