Criminal

Chapter 1

Sakura sighed as she sat in her room, her long pink hair pulled back in a sloppy pony tail. She pushed herself back from her desk, which was decorated with scattered notes and her math and science text books. She stood up and sighed, removing the hair tie from her flowing locks. She walked out of her room and jogged down stairs and to her kitchen to grab a snack.

Sakura jogged up to her fridge and opened it, not finding anything in there that interested her she went to her cabinets. She opened one up and blinked "Huh?! I'm out of KD?!" She scratched her head "Aw man, And I was really craving it..." She checked the clock on the wall "Well, the store hasn't closed yet, I bet I can grab some from there."

Sakura then turned and jogged up stairs and into her room, she pulled on a black draw-string hoodie and black sweats over her yoga shorts. She pulled on her sneakers and jogged back down stairs, she grabbed her wallet and left the house.

Sakura took the ten minute walk to the corner store, she smiled to see that it was still open and quickly walked in. She walked the isles and retrieved two boxes of KD macaroni, then made her way to the counter. She set the two items down on the counter "That'll be three fifty." She took out a five dollar bill and handed it to the cashier "Keep the change." He put the two boxes into a plastic bag and handed it to her "Thank you." Sakura turned and walked out, Her jaw dropped at the raging rain storm that was now taking place in front of her. She swallowed "Crap, I had a feeling I should have brought an umbrella." She bit down on her bottom lip and frowned a little "You're never the prepared type, are you Sakura?" The pinkette jumped and turned to face the most popular guy at Konoha high and her long time friend.

"S-Sasuke-kun! What are you doing here?" The young Uchiha smirked, he was dressed in a black hoodie, navy blue skater jeans and black converse, holding a black umbrella over his head. "I just decided to take a walk today." Sakura blinked "In the rain?" Sasuke shrugged "I like it more than others." Sakura blushed a little at him "W-Well, I better get home-" "I'll walk you." Sakura blinked "Y-You will?" Sasuke smirked "You don't seem to have an umbrella with you, so why not? Unless, you don't care for the offer-" "N-No! I don't mind at all." Sasuke smirked and took her hand "Good." Sakura blushed at his touch and she took a step closer to him so the umbrella would shield them both completely.

They walked together in silence, making Sakura bite down on her bottom lip nervously, C'mon Sakura! Say something! You've known him since you where kids, don't tell me you can't have a one-on-one conversation with Sasuke!

She took a breath "So Sasuke, Are you ready for the Algebra test tommorow?"

Sasuke arched an eyebrow at her "You mean the one we did today?" her eyes widened and she blushed "Oh! Um, Yeah, Hehe, What I meant to ask was how do you think you did on the test today."

Sasuke looked straight forward "Fine, The same as usual I guess."

She looked up at him "I'm sure you got perfect, you where always good at math...and everything else."

He smirked at that "So are you Sakura, most of your marks are just as perfect as mine."

Sakura blushed at that "Oh, Thanks."

Sasuke glanced down at her and smiled softly "Are you doing anything this friday?"

Her eyes widened "Huh?! M-me? No, Why?"

He chuckled "No need to sound so nervous Sakura."

Her ears warmed with embarrassment at her quick answer "If you're free this Friday, I want to know if you want to go to lunch with me."

She pursed her lips and looked up at him "L-Like a date?"
Sasuke smirked "Yeah."

She could hardly contain her excitement, CHA! That's right! He's mine! Her inner half shouted, punching the air confidently.

Sakura nodded "Y-Yeah, I'd love to."

They both stopped in front of her door "Great, So, I'll see you then?"

Sakura nodded "Yeah, See you then." She made a step to walk into her house but tripped and nearly fell, if it weren't for Sasuke grabbing her by the wrist and yanking her to his chest. She looked up at him with wide eyes and he looked down at her with the same look.

They both blushed and looked away "Uh, S-Sorry."

Sasuke nodded, still looking the other "I-It's no problem." Sakura stepped into her house "I-I'll see you tommorow."

"Right, Bye." They waved each other goodbye and Sakura watched Sasuke walk away before shutting the door and falling back against it. Sakura smiled and bit her bottom lip, she closed her eyes and grinned "Yes! Yes! Yes! I did it! Sasuke and I have a date!" Sakura's never been more happy in her life.

. . . .

"Crap! I'm Late!" Sakura cried, blazing down the stairs and into her living room, she spun around looking for her jacket-

"On the news today, A murder in the middle of the night, Fukaku and Mikoto Uchiha where slaughtered last night along with their Nineteen year old son Itachi uchiha." Sakura froze, slowly turning to the TV, W-what? That's Sasuke's family.

"Luckily their youngest son, Sasuke Uchiha was out at the time the murder occurred, He's being held at the Police station for questioning-"
The reporter paused for a moment "This just in, Sasuke seemed to have escaped the Police station and is now vanished, Making him now a suspect."

Sakura brought her hand to her mouth, eyes wide as they put up at picture of Sasuke up on the screen, Oh my god...Sasuke...
