Chapter 5

A/N {I may not be able to write too quickly due to my parents. You see my parents hate and I mean HATE things that involve reincarnation and yuri so I need to hide what I'm doing from them so... If I ever stop writing it's probably because I was caught. Now go read the chapter!}

My parents decided that Sakura and I needed to go outside and make some friends. They told us "We are going to bring you to a place where you can make friends" before dragging us somewhere.

Once we were at our destination they left us there saying "Be nice and we'll be back soon!" I held Sakura's hand to comfort both her and myself before approaching the children that were playing tag. This is a game that I was quite familiar with in my past life.

As we approached the children I noticed that all of them were girls! They also seemed to be of similar age to that of Sakura and me. 'Did mother and father think it would be better to interact with children at the same age and gender as us?' I wondered

One of the girls saw us and whispered to the others who immediately stopped playing their game before waving at us. 'Honestly, I'm getting a bad feeling from this' I thought.

"Hey look at that girl, she has such a large forehead!" One rude girl shouted. The girls began to laugh, some even pointed their fingers at Sakura. Sakura's face immediately twisted into a pained expression before looking down trying to avoid looking at them.

This reminded me of the time I was bullied in middle school for being an orphan. My only salvation for that situation was my best friend Chad. He single-handedly stopped the bullying, something that even the teachers ignored or assisted in. I began to tear up from the memories remembering 'Right I'll never see Chad or the other orphanage kids again.'

I was heading down a depressing train of thought but I have quickly snapped back to reality thanks to the girls' laughter getting louder. 'Ah, I'm the only person that can help Sakura right now so I need to do something'

I squeezed Sakura's hand reassuringly and glared at girls who were at this point howling in laughter while retaliating with a retort of my own. "I think you have confused us with people who care about what someone with a minuscule brain like yours says"

The girls instantly quieted down and looked surprised at my retort. I felt a bit proud of this but that moment was quickly ruined. "That was mean! I'm going to tell my mommy one you!" a lanky, ugly girl screeched. I thought to myself ' Woah way to be a hypocrite! She truly is a child born in the leaf isn't she?'

I continued to glare at the human trash cans opening their lids trying to say something before turning to Sakura and saying "Hey Sakura do you want to play with me?"

"But Kaa-san and Tou-san said we need to make friends?" She replied.

A/N {Tou-san means father in Japanese}

I stared at Sakura for a moment before responding "Kaa-san and Tou-san said to make friends but we can't have bad kids for friends they would only hurt us and hurt Kaa-san and Tou-San. We don't want that to happen right?"

Sakura looked surprised at the sudden revelation and then quickly said "Okay let's play together! I don't want to have people that hurt us as friends!" We both played games ignoring the provocations and cries of the "Trash cans" Okay honestly we retaliated with insults of our own but let's just gloss over that.

Soon after playing with Sakura until we were completely exhausted our mother and father picked us up to take us home and asked "Did you make any friends?"

I answered with a smile energetically saying "No" My reply surprised them but after Sakura and I explained what happened and why we didn't make any friends our kind and caring parents said they were going to have a "Talk" about this with the children's parents

With the combination of how they said "Talk" with their tone of voice and facial expression, I was sure this was not going to end peacefully.

****************

It has been a few days and unfortunately, it seems that my fears are about to come true… My parents are just about to have their "Talk" with the parents of those "Trash cans" we met a few days ago… I'm afraid! I'm really afraid that they will tell lies about Sakura and me to our parents and even worse than that is… if our parents believe them…

While hiding in a corner I strained my ears to hear their conversation. "So I heard that your children were insulting my children. Is that true?" My Mother questioned the TC's parents with a fierce gaze.

A/N {The parents of those troublesome children will be called TC parents. TC= trash can}

One of the TC parents against my expectations sighed, then with a tired tone he said "Yes that's true my child was being an annoying brat"

'Woah! I did not expect the TC parent to say that! Wait hold on with that kind of face and with how he sounds when he says that… Did he already go through this before?

My mother sighed before saying "If you know that why don't you punish your child? I have a few methods to make them very "obedient" I've tried them myself"

As I heard that I felt a terrifyingly cold chill in my spine. 'Wait hold on! She has more punishments! I can't possibly dare to defy her if I still wish to live!' I silently made a vow to never disobey my parents. (Well mostly my mother, My father is a pretty chill guy who makes stupid jokes that are pretty good)

The parents soon finished their meeting in an unexpectedly civilized manner. 'Maybe I read too many Chinese web novels in my past life?'

I tried to sneak back to my room only to be caught by my mother "Didn't I say not to underestimate a mother's senses?" I cursed at myself and looked at her.

"So why were you spying on our conversation?" She asked. I decided to be honest with her "I thought they were going to lie about what we did and get us in trouble…" answered her in a quiet fearful voice.

She sighed "Do you think that adults are children?" I quickly shook my head. "Adult's can solve their problems by speaking with each other unlike children who just don't listen and make baseless accusations"

I looked down ashamed at my past behavior. My mother raised her hand, I braced myself for a slap but… instead of being slapped her hand gently placed itself on my head. She comfortably patted my head.

I looked at her surprised that I wasn't slapped. In my past life I once defended myself from a few of my bullies (By beating them up), however, they told one of the teachers that I just randomly attacked them for no reason! Oh, and did you know that this was also a teacher that watched me get bullied by these guys and did nothing about it?

Do you know what he did? He BELIEVED THEM! Why and how the hell did he believe them??? In the end, this resulted in a phone call to the orphanage and I tried to explain why I defended myself from those annoying, stupid pricks but the orphanage keeper just slapped me!

He beat me with a wooden ruler until my body was covered in bruises. Thankfully March break started right after that day so I could recover and go back to school without any bruises! I later met Chad but that's a story for another time.

******************

[A few hours later]

It was finally time for Sakura and I to sleep. We both climbed into our bed (We both still share the same bed! Why god? Why must you do this to me?!)

I thought to myself 'Hey wasn't Sakura from the original Naruto series bullied which led to her friendship with Ino Yamanaka? Since I stopped that from happening doesn't that mean that Sakura and I won't become friends? No, no they can still become friends in the academy! If I'm right, we should be able to enter the academy when we are six-year-olds right? Ah well let's leave future problems to future me'

I then fell into a long comfortable sleep.

A/N{Did you know that it's like 3:00 am for me right now? I don't think I feel so good right now...}
