Another chance

More like did ya poop ya pants?

Today I was heading toward the Hyuuga compound. "I believe that we will try and befriend Neji right?" Keyword try. Inner snorted loudly causing me to grip my hands on the sides of my face. Woah watch how loud you laugh please. "Hehe sorry about that I kinda forgot and that was really funny" not really "oh shush Saku-chan!" It was my turn to laugh, but quietly so I didn't get any weird looks from any bystanders. I sighed lightly and continued to walk forward. "Neh neh Saku-chan are you alright? You seem I don't know....sad?" I slowly looked up at the bright azure skies.

Naruto came into my mind, how am I going to protect everyone, the timeline has changed and now I'm not sure I can fix everything if I don't know what's changed. "Sakura Haruno calm down, you're stressing yourself when you know that as long as you try hard it will play out right" but- I couldn't finish my sentence as my small body rammed into another.

"Ahh sorry I wasn't paying attention!" I quickly stood up and bowed. "Nah don't worry about it we both weren't paying attention." The person before me smiled brightly as they stood up and bowed as well. "Hey don't look so glum, by the way your face is positioned, you'd look better smiling and not worrying" I felt a little heat run into my cheeks. "Oh by the way my names Ariana but you can call me Nana if you like." So they're a girl, she smiled as she patted my head. "Ah my names Sakura Haruno!" She started to walk away " well Sakura I see that you seem to be heading towards either the Hyuuga compound or the training grounds by the Hyuuga compound?" " I'm heading towards the compound actually" " you mind if I tag along? I'm heading to the training grounds." " yeah I'm just picking up a friend from the compound and we're going to go train at the training grounds." A rich laugh erupted from Ariana- er Nana, "then I tag on the whole way? How does that sound? Or if your alright with that?" "Says yess!" Eh why? "We never met this girl before, NEVER, do you get it now?" Oh okay I understand now "good." I smiled lightly, "yeah that'd be fine" we walked towards the Hyuuga compound together, the whole time Nana would crack jokes and made funny conversations, she helped lighten the mood, if I was as naïve as I was in the old timeline  I would have trusted her very quickly and call her a good friend. "But we still have to be suspicious for the safety of everyone" yes we must.

Timeskip to the entrance of the compound

We asked if Hinata could come and train with us-err I mean I asked Nana was just at my side smiling politely. Now we're waiting for Hinata to come out. The sound of light footsteps and the creek of the door opening alert is. "U-uh I-I h-h-hope you g-guys d-d-don't m-mind I-if s-someone els-else t-tags a-along?" Nana spoke happily "well of course I tagged along then whoever you want to come can come, right Sakura?" "yep!" We heard the door open a bit more to fit another person, to my surprise a long brown haired ninja walked out. "no way h-h-h-how, i-its Ne-Neji!" "Let's head out to the training grounds che!" Nana fist pumped in the air and swiftly turned to us, her pearly whites shone brightly, her straight teeth helped her smile frame her oval face. I smiled brightly in return, Hinata shyly smiled, and well Neji....he just glared at the ground. "Geez did he poop his pants or something?" I snorted lightly. "THAT WAS SO CUTE SAKURA!" Nana twirled me around and pulled me into a gentle embrace, my face landed in her chest, I could hear her gentle heartbeat....it was very soothing. "I don't mean to be rude but we're part of the itty bitty titty committee!" Oh Nana and I are both flat-chested. "Yeah!" My face flushed as I thought about what Inner said, most of the girls in the other timeline were much larger then me, I looked over to Hinata and sighed, especially Hinata.

Time skip

I shot forward dodging Hinata's oncoming fist, I kicked my leg back into her shin, kicking her off balance, which worked until Hinata caught herself and shifted into a hand-stand and twirled her legs around, of course chakra enforced not only her swinging legs but her arms to steady herself. "we taught her well heh" she learned quickly, I'm glad I always knew Hinata was a quick learner- "TIMES UP!" Nana shouted loudly as she grinned goofily. "Hinata good job your chakra flowed quite freely a little hesitant but just keep working on it and I know you'll improve lots!" A doubtful grunt was heard, I turned my head to see Neji with a prominent frown on his face. "No matter how much she 'practices or trains' she will never change her fate, her destiny will remain the same." Before I could say something to Neji, an animalistic growl erupted from.....Nana?

"FIGHT ME!" Nana's eyes glowed with...hate? No something stronger then hate, my body shuddered at Nana's intense glare, her kindness suddenly disappeared and her relaxed body tensed ready to battle. "You think I want to fight you?" Neji scoffed, which caused Nana to grin, "what are you afraid that fate decided on you chickening out? Did destiny decide that you're afraid to lose against me" Nana sneered as she slid into a taijustu stance. "Destiny assures me of my win" "whatever girly" I saw a thin eyebrow on Neji's face twitch in annoyance.

Nana immediately ran forward straight towards Neji, while Neji spiraled incasing himself in a palms rotation. "T-t-there's n-no w-way N-Nana-san ca-can g-get t-threw" "she's right" Inner and I both sighed, Neji was a tough opponent for sure....I snapped my head towards Nana's figure, chakra surrounding her body, it glowed a light red? "Red???" Red. Nana rushed straight into a rotating Neji. "IS SHE CRAZY?"

"Lady Hinata, your father calls for you and Neji" that sentence stopped everyone there was no more movement, a thin air of silence covered us. "A-ah y-y-yess" Neji frowned even more as he turned around and proceeded to walk away. Hinata dashed towards Nana and I, and gave us a quick hug and walked away while waving goodbye.

I yawned as me and Nana walked back into town, we finished our simple meal of fried tempura and pork dumplings. I felt my body rise off the ground, I not only tense but a loud gasp escapes my lips as I see Nana lift me onto her back. "Tell me where you live and I'll drop you off?" To tired to speak, I nodded.

After Nana dropped me off in front of my home, I gingerly slipped my feet out of my sandals and walked up stairs and slipped into some comfy nightwear, I slid right into the cold comforters. Goosebumps raised over my pale skin as I thought about today's events. I feel so odd, Nana just barged into my life and now I feel like she's always been apart of it......No I cannot afford to trust her. "I say we give her a chance, I mean we have another chance, so why not give Nana one?" I sighed, yeah but I don't want this to be a mistake..."it won't be, I swear Saku-chan I won't let it" I hope you're right. I breath in and slowly start to drift off dreaming about the endless possibilities that are happening right now in the other timeline, well I mean having a nightmare....my world fades, I want to scream until I hear a soft voice. "Sweet dreams Sakura..." Nana muttered as she pulled me into an embrace...she smelled like strawberries and...and....."home."
