Chapter 1: The New Girl Looks Weird!

Sakura's POV

My mom's SUV stopped in front of the plain white house that we'd spent so much time moving our junk into. My new home, according to her. I got out and stretched; we'd been stuffed into her car for over nine hours.

By the time she'd gotten out of her 'lovely' car, I'd walked up to the front door, unlocked it, and had gone straight to my room.

Mom had let me decorate it however I wanted. 'Give it some personality!' or something like that. I'd gotten black lace curtains to cover the window forever; I didn't normally like the sun that much. And the rare times I did, I could just peak out of the curtains and realize I still hated it, couldn't I?

Speaking of that over-cheerful ball of light, it was sunset. If you'd asked me my opinion on sunsets half a year ago, I probably would have told you that they were wonderful, pretty, etc. Now, I'd say that they were a waste of time to watch.

Six months ago, if you'd looked through all of my clothes *cough-pervert-cough*, you'd find happy, average colors. These days, the only colors you're going to find are black, purple, red, blue, white, and dark green.

A lot can change in six months. I knew that better than anyone else.

For the rest of the day, I read. I like reading. I liked slipping into the lives of other people, forgetting my own for short, bliss amount of time.

As I was turning the page, I saw something moving out of the corner of my left eye. I whipped around to see what it was. And I was facing my reflection. Myself.

I guess that it's safe to say I'm the kind of person who attracts attention without trying.

For starters, my hair is pink. Naturally pink. It used to be short, but now I'm letting it grow out. It's at my upper-back right now. Although I guess that it's hard to tell, because I always keep my hair in pigtails. They aren't pigtails that make me look innocent, though. They just sort of add to my gothic appearance.

Another weird thing is the eye patch on my right eye. I hadn't always been blind in that eye, but things don't always stay the same, do they?

And I guess my style doesn't help, but who gives a damn?

I went back to reading and stopped four hours later so I could go to bed. Tomorrow, I was going to start going to my new school; Konoha High School. I'd be the new kid. And I'd probably get a lot of unwanted attention.

I set my uniform out. This school's uniform was a black dress for girls. It wasn't too long' it ended at my knees. It had a V-neck and long sleeves, with puffy shoulders. The dress fit perfectly around my torso, flowing out freely once it got to my waist.

Surprisingly, I liked it.

I fell asleep, and had that dream again…that horrible nightmare I never wanted to see. I've never told anybody I had them. And nobody ever noticed. I wasn't the kind of idiot who screamed from a dream.

I woke up right before my alarm clock went off, ringing annoyingly. I turned it off and got up, heading to the bathroom. After a quick shower, I changed into my uniform and put my hair up in its famous pigtails.

Then I headed downstairs, where my mom was lazily sipping at a mug of coffee over some local newspaper. I got an apple out of the fridge and took it with me as I grabbed my sturdy black backpack and headed outside, to walk to KHS.

I'll take this apple…, I thought, thinking of Light Yagami. And eat it! I took a bite out of it and started laughing a bit to myself.

When I got there, I went to the principal's office. Some lady at the front desk gave me my schedule while gaping at me. She was very talented at doing two things at once.

I walked to my homeroom class, getting stares from passers by. Whispers and mutters could be heard from behind my back, but I didn't care; I was way too used to it.

By the time I'd found it, homeroom was almost over. I walked into the classroom and went to the teacher's desk. The funny thing was his left eye was covered, along with a majority of his face. He was reading some book.

"I'm Sakura Haruno," I said.

"You must be my cute new student?" he asked. My eye twitched.

"Yes," I said, grinding my teeth together.

'Cute'? Is the guy a pedophile or something? I wondered angrily.

"You'll be next to Naruto and Hinata, Sakura," he said. "Naruto! Hinata! Raise your hands!"

I saw two hands popping up into the air in the middle of a bundle of people. I couldn't see their owners. I walked in that direction, and found my desk. I sat down in it silently, and the mass of people surrounding went quiet.

"H-hello," said a girl next to me. Hinata, I guessed. "I'm Hinata Hyuuga. Nice to meet you."

I looked at her. She was a pretty thing, with violet hair and pupil-less eyes. Her skin was perfect; clear and white, although her cheeks were flushed pink. She made the school outfit look ugly.

I smiled at her. Somehow, she seemed like the type of person I'd want to be friends with.

"I'm Sakura Haruno," I said. I held out a hand. "Nice to meet you, too, Hinata-chan."

She smiled happily and took my hand. The poor thing was trembling as we shook.

"H-Haruno-san," she stammered. "Let's be friends."

I shook my head. "Call me Sakura!" I insisted.

Hinata smiled even more. "O-okay," she said. "S-Sakura-chan…."

I nodded approvingly.

"So you're Sakura-chan!" an energetic voice behind me said. My eye twitched.

I turned to face a cute blond with bright blue eyes.

"Yes," I said.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" he said proudly. "Let's be good friends!"

The others around seemed to take encouragement and began introducing themselves, too.

That was the first time that I met Naruto. And the second I met him, I knew that he was someone who I'd never be able to get along with.

Naruto's POV

I listened as the new girl introduced herself to Hinata. She seemed really nice, despite her scary appearance. When it looked like she'd finished, I took my turn.

"So you're Sakura-chan!" I said. She turned around to face me, and I saw her close up. Her eye was green, emerald green. Her skin was white and clear, flawless. Her eye patch was actually pretty awesome, and her pink hair made her look kind of Goth.

She looked annoyed.

"Yes," she answered.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" I told her proudly. "Let's be friends!"

The others began to introduce themselves; Ino, Tenten, Lee, Neji, Shikamaru, Chouji, Kiba, and Shino.

Everyone began to become more comfortable around Sakura-chan, even though the only one she seemed to want to talk to was Hinata.

That was the first time I met Sakura-chan. From the second I saw her, I knew she had something dark and painful hidden deep inside her. I just had no idea how dark.

A/N: That's the end of the chapter! I know, it was short, but oh well. What dark secrets does Sakura have? Why does she have an eye patch? And yes, it's still a SasukexSakuraxNaruto fanfic (no yaoi, fangirls). Please Review!
