SasuSaku: Forever Love
Chapter 1: New Friends

6 year-old Sakura Haruno skipped happily as she headed towards the Ninja Academy. Thanks to her new friend, Ino Yamanaka, she had learned to ignore the mean comments that people gave her about her wide forehead. She stopped skipping and carefull adjusted the red ribbon that Ino had given her the day that they had become friends.

As she was adjusting the ribbon, something caught her eye...or someone. She took a better look and saw a boy that looked about her age sitting beneath the cherry trees reading. Sakura hesitated and slowly walked up to him.

"Hi..." she said uncertainly. The boy slowly looked up and Sakura saw his face. He was fair-skinnned, and he had onyx eyes that matched his spiky, black hair. She smiled timidly.

"I'm Haruno Sakura." she said, holding out her hand. "What's your name?" the boy took her hand and shook it, looking at her face. She had short, pink hair and emerald eyes.

"Sasuke...Uchiha Sasuke." Sakura gasped and giggled. Sasuke looked at her, confused. "What?" he asked, hoping that she wasn't another fangirl. She didn't seem like one, but he couldn't be sure.

"So you're the boy that all the girls are talking about." she bent down and poked his forehead. "You're not that cute. You look too serious to me." she giggled and stood up straight.

"Hey!" Sasuke said, rubbing his forehead and standing up. Sakura ignored the comment and smiled.

"All those other girls are wierd to me." she giggled. "They're all obsessed with you." she did a little imitation and Sasuke laughed. He liked this girl. Suddenly, Sakura gasped as she realized what time it was.

"Shoot! We're gonna be late!" she said, and started to run away. She stopped suddenly and turned around, holding out her hand. "You coming?" she asked, tilting her head and smiling.

"Yeah." Sasuke walked up to her and took her outstretched hand. They both took off running towards the Ninja Academy.

They were both happy when they found out that they were in the same class. "Let's sit together." Sakura suggested and they went towards to open seats in the back of the classroom. All the girls were angry when they saw Sakura and Sasuke walk into the classroom holding hands.

Iruka-sensei came in and began to teach the class about cloning jutsus. Sakura and Sasuke both had good chakra control and got the hang of it easily. Eveutally class ended and they both went outside.

"So does this mean we're friends?" Sasuke asked as they were walking home. Sakura looked at him and smiled.

"Friends." she said, as they arrived in front of her house. "You can come in if you want." she smiled as Sasuke slowly nodded.

"Okay..." he said, a little nervous. Sakura grabbed his hand, surprising him, and led him inside. She watched him as he looked around. He looked back at her and smiled. "Nice place."

"Thanks!" Sakura said, smiling. "Wanna go to my room?" Sasuke smiled and nodded.

"Sure."

Sakura led him to her room and they both started playing games. After a couple of hours, Sasuke realized the time.

"It's getting late. I gotta go." he said, standing up.

Sakura smiled and stood up with him. "I walk you to the door." she said, and they left the room. They went outside and Sasuke turned around.

"See you tomorrow." Sakura nodded and smiled.

"Yeah." she hugged him, and watched as he walked away. "Good-bye! See you tomorrow!"

Sasuke turned around and waved. Slowly, he made his way back home...Only to meet disaster.

I hope you all liked it! Stay tuned for the next chapter!
