The Beginning - Chapter 1

Sakura/Naruto

"The blossom will encounters situations, in which she will grow and become what she truly is meant."

Her sleepy eyes opened, slightly. –The clock in her room echoed with a long annoying ring, that only managed to make her realize the new day that was just to begin.

"Damn it!" She mumbled, still trying to deny that she needed to wake up. She slowly raised a finger to press the 'snooze' button. She knew that this wasn't something she anxiously awaited, like most teenage girls her age.

It was just another beginning of her high school life. Probably becoming another day in her life, that once again lead to nothing but a life of bullying. Oh so she thought herself. She felt a distinct sensation, that it's what awaited her.

She rose to her feet. Her feet being placed on the cold wooded floor, which covered her whole room. It felt cold. It brought a stinging sensation to the ends of her toes, as her feet's nerves felt the shock of the cold that emanated from the wooded floor.

"Ah! It's cold!" She jumped to her bed, finally widening her eyes. Her emeralds eyes scanned around the room after a moment, in search of slippers to warm her feet. Finally spotting some pink ones under her bed, she picked them up from the floor and placed them on her now chilly feet.

This was sure a nice way to finally awaken fully, or so she thought sarcastically to herself. She propped to her feet once more, the cold not affecting her feet like before to the slippers on her feet.

Their was no time to keep wasting, she needed to make it on time to class. The least she wanted was being eyed by her new fellow classmates. It brought a odd feeling of nervousness in the pit of her stomach, it wasn't what she needed. She needed to enter class without being judged by wandering eyes.

A day hadn't passed that she could managed to sustain her emotions. Those emotions that brought thoughts of the bad memories she had once in the various schools she had to enter, once before.

Pain, it always seemed to follow through her for her problems. She always believed herself to be odd, because she surpassed many students with her smarts and her ability to take in information, the moment instructors gave it. It was a gift, that most teachers believed she had. She denied it though, it was more a curse, a reason to her bullying.

Her hair, and most importantly her abnormal forehead. They obtained attention most of all. She had always had people make fun of her for her obvious flaws, it made her easily feel low about herself.

She sighed, as she tried to brush the feelings away. Searching for her uniform was a good way to forget about things, it was actually something that brought her comfort. It had ever since been one of her deep desires to wear a uniform that most known school girls wore.

It consisted of a green 'v' shaped blouse with triangulated shaped flaps on each side of her 'v' shape blouse. Each flap white striped, which represented the color of her school. Konoha High, school of the leaf. The green was the color of life, that varied in the various trees that stood on lively in the campus. The skirt was the other part of the uniform. It was just simple, it's green color was present with a white stripe as well, above the perfect ruffles of the skirt that perfected the simple skirt.

Sakura easily removed her pajamas to try on her uniform. It was actually her first time trying it. She wanted to enjoy the moment, as she stood before her full view mirror, so she wasted no time to slip into her skirt and her blouse. The curves of her hips, easily showing to the perfect fitted uniform. It made her look beautiful. For the first first time she managed contemplating her look in the mirror.

"Sakura, it's getting late for school!" Her mom shouted from below the stairs.

"Oh, no!" She looked back at the clock, noticing that their was probably twenty minutes to spare and relaxed. "Going!" She shouted back, while she nodded to herself, rapidly brushing the knots in her pink hair.

Finally finishing, she grabbed her school bag with her family emblem that she stitched on her bag. It was the Haruno symbol that she admitted that brought her ease to the new school day. At least she knew that she had something from home, it relaxed her.

She smiled softly to herself, letting her legs follow up with long steps downstairs in a hurried manner. Their was only one way to go to school, and it required her to walk. It not only helped her physical health, but it helped her curiosity wander and make her think of other things, then school.

"Mom, I'm going already. " She ran passed her mom, snatching a pop-tart from a plate placed for her in particular, and ran outside in a instance, before her mom could respond back.

She took small bites of the pop-tart, as she watched her surroundings. The birds chirped cheerfully, while the small children pouted and denied to their mothers their interest for school. A smile formed on her lips, remembering that she was once a small young girl too. She denied school as well, and never once understood why their was need for it at all. Only until she was older, did she realize the reasons for studying and learning.

She watched the children, loosing sight of what was in front of her. Without warning, she abruptly bumped into someone in front of her. The force being enough to make her fall on her behind in a awkward position. Her cellphone went flying in mid-air, hitting the pavement and breaking into fragments. A loud crack came, after dropping her bag to the floor. "Ouch!- What WAS THAT—! " She winced at the pain, stopping in mid-sentence, not being able to finish her sentence. –Noticing a blonde across the floor from her, rubbing his head with a orange colored uniform familiar to hers, but oddly ruined to a bad dye job.

"Damn it!" He kept rubbing his head, while his eyes were closed to the sudden pain on the fall.

"Who are you?!" She hissed, finally realizing that her phone had suffered the ending to her lack of attention.

He opened his eyes, while blinking a few times. Finally able to notice the pink haired girl in front of him. His eyes widened at her presence automatically without words to respond to her question. He was shocked by the sudden negative tone behind her voice, but he was more shocked by the sudden feeling in him.

A new inhuman feeling lingered inside him. It felt like a tug inside him, it attentively pulled at his insides for the girl that stood before him.

His inner self growled furiously at him, it denied the feeling his human self attempted to feel. The beast inside was clawing at his thoughts, his feelings that it desperately wanted to rid himself from.

"You fool!" The beast roared.

"Idiot! Hello, do you even talk?" She waved her hand in front of the boy to grab his attention. He seemed distant, and unaware of her question. The boy was lost in thought.

After a few moments, he finally managed coming back to reality. The pink haired girl was real, she was still in front of him confused to him spacing out. He actually thought it was all a dream, or that maybe his inner beast playing a mind game with him.

"S-sorry..." His cheeks reddening at his own embarrassing act. He didn't know how to respond to her, without sounding like a fool.

"Finally! What's wrong with you, it seemed you were out of it. "Who are you?" She asked onced again, hoping that she'll get a respond this time.

"Naruto Uzumaki." He responded quickly laughing, while he rubbed his back of his head. He was nervous, it easily showed in his laughter.

"I'm, Sakura Haruno." She didn't know why she was telling him at all, but their was something about him. A distinctive feeling that it didn't seem like he was a threat to her persona. The blonde seemed friendly, somehow.

"Sakura..." He mimicked her name, as he liked the sound of it.
