I could have sworn that I'd been seeing things yesterday night. I don't know maybe a cat? It had silverish eyes, and as I was walking home, a car passed and it was like the cat-well we'll just call it a cat-escaped from sight. I can't say it was white, but it was...tall, that's the thing, a tall cat? what universe are we in again? Oh yeah! The realistic one! Maybe there was something I didn't catch, Today I checked it out and there could've been no possible evidence except the cat was...floating...? Note to self: Recheck evidence and area later.

I set my backpack half-heartedly beside my desk and sat on my desk, my red plaid shorts almost touching my knees, my white knee-highs squeezing my calves and my white long-sleeved dress shirt-with of course, as usual-my top button unbuttoned and my white undershirt showing along with my dress shirt sleeves at my elbows. I pulled my hair into a pony-tail as a few students I didn't know, well didn't know well, entered the class. One was Uchiha Itachi, he wasn't really talkative, he's in my grade-11th-because he was in a coma and I really doubt you can learn while your like a vegetable. His brother and me used to be close. I frowned as I remembered what happened, Sasuke and my sister both disappeared around a year ago, same night and all.
I hated to remember about my sister, if I didn't have a photograph of her, I don't think I could remember what she looks like. I felt eyes on me as I looked up, I didn't notice my eyes were blurry until I blinked a few times, Uchiha had his eyes on me, emotions not showing, he turned away. I turned away hurried because I had obviously been caught staring at him, well it wasn't like I was imagining him in boxers...right? Oh god! Get the image out of my head!
I turned to the door, hearing an obnoxious Ino was easy, especially from the halls. Best friend and rival, dare devil contests, I out flanked her by a lot, but she was not a quitter. The other voice talking to her, my little brother, not literally, Naruto. I loved him to death though, he was the schools photographer and he always headed me in on dare-devil-places, as he liked to call them. Naruto helped me find a lot of places that were 'scary.' Well, there was only one true, where they said something about bones-under-the-bed. They were rat bones!! Not even human, and that's when Ino chickened out. Ino on the other hand, was in the school article beautess. Whatever. She wrote articles and Naruto took pictures, we three were a deadly gang to try and tear apart-trust me, we've had people try.
Ino entered class first. "Sakura! I heard something new for you!" Oh did I mention I'm the schools daredevil and Ino's just considered another?
Naruto butted in "Yep! all 100 percent scary, no ones going near the damn mansion!" Naruto smiled and rushed over to me, I had to smile for him, he tries hard.
"Fill be in." I lent Naruto my seat and Ino naturally sat next to me so she sat down and pulled out her make-up compact and started caking layers of cover-up onto her beautiful face, why didn't she just forget the make up, all she needed was eyeliner.
I swung my legs as Naruto pulled out his camera, geez, another picture? I smiled, and put the peace sign up as he snapped a shot. "Well, Sai's got most of it, but I got the jist-"
"No, I got the jist, Your just the photographer." Ino turned to me. "There's this haunted mansion on Calvary road, you know-the mansion that is abandoned-"
"Yes, I do…" I stated.
"Well, yeah. Apparently people, a few girls, went walking past there and saw silver eyes-" Ino said, I drowned out the sound and thought as I glanced around the room, Itachi's eyes widened a fraction, but turned normal again. I had a flashback of the night before-silver eyes. "-place is abandoned. Sakura, are you listening?" Ino looked grumpy once I snapped my head to her.
"Of course, for why-ever would I ignore you?" I joked in a mocking tone.
Naruto laughed and Ino hit me playfully. "Anyways, got the package?" Ino asked.
"Yep, it's sealed." I smiled.
"When are you going? Are you breaking in?" Naruto asked in a whispered voice.
"Why?" I leaned into Naruto "Planning on going?" I poked his forehead and sat up straight, I smiled and looked up at the ceiling, leaning back on my elbows, the wooden desk was made for two, only Ino and I didn't sit next to each other, she sat at a different desk. Naruto sat in the back with Sai.
Silver eyes huh? That might solve the problem with the 'cat.' Speaking of Sai, he sighed and walked in, the teacher dragging him by the collar, I looked over to Kurenai-sensei, she was flushed and angry. "Everyone take your seats, please." She let go of Sai. "You, sit by Sakura, maybe she can get you to cooperate!" Kurenai made it a command, not even an order that you could argue with. Anyways, this would be better to suck the living information out of him.
Sai sighed and sat to the left of me, how the heck could I get him to cooperate he still called me- "-Ugly, so you heard about the mansion?" He asked. Right then I wish I could hit him so hard it made him bleed, I'd gotten so many nicknames over the years, why ugly?! Well I would complain but-
"Yep Dickless, I did." I had great come-backs. So we weren't great friends, but he was good for information. "So tell me what you did to get her mad." I sighed and slipped down from my desk to my seat, it was warm from Naruto's bodyheat.
"Kakashi said to-" He didn't even finish because Kurenai slammed a stack of papers on his desk, I flinched, he didn't.
"Don't talk, pass them out." She whispered embarrassed. Sai fake-smiled and got up to pass them out as she went back to her desk. "Tell you later."
In Kurenai-Sensei's class, I was pretty much distracted to focus on what we were learning, she scolded Sai a bunch and called on him for just about everything, something about what 'Pneumonoultramicrosopicsilicovolcaniosis' was. A 49 letter 18 syllable word and it meant something about-…
"Sakura would you define Pneumonoultramicrosopicsilicovolcaniosis, please?" Kurenai stared at me. I sighed, always me, I never really got why. Maybe my pink-hair stood out too much.
I was just about to speak when the bell rang. What a nice day this was going to be.
"We'll finish up tomorrow, dismissed." Kurenai left with her suitcase at her side.
"Wow, well that was nice timing." Ino said and tugged at me.

"It's your turn Haruno, jump with youth you never knew you had!" And that was when Gai-sensei started crying proudly as I sprinted for 'the river' which was really just two ropes that you kept pulling away from each other and have to jump across making it over the rope and landing on your feet. It was about 2 and a half yards apart, well I was a good jumper. I rubbed my hands together and got in the position track-runners do as they are about to run a race.
"Come on Saku-chan!" Naruto threw up his fist, I sighed. I took off fast and leaped into the air, everyone's eyes were on me as I took the leap. Naruto's mouth hung open, other people sitting on the bleachers-like Ino, Sai, Temari and…Itachi?-were looking at me.
"Here goes nothing!" I shouted as I jumped wide over the rope and landed in the kneeling position with both hands on the ground, left knee and right foot.
I looked back to see I jumped maybe a yard and a half away from the rope, they should see me when I'm at home. "The tigress of youth!" Lee shouted.
"Never in my mighty years of teaching have I seen such a youthful jump!" Gai-sensei threw his fist up in the air, so did Lee, mimicking him.
--
Then there was lunch, of course I scrubbed myself in the girls locker room, we wear bloomers might I add, with matching school jackets. Our principal is a very perverted man…He tells us to call him Kakashi-sensei, he's like my dad though, love him to death.
I scurried through the line, picking out chocolate milk and an apple, I would eat more but I'm not hungry, you know that feeling where your hungry but once you eat-the first bite-your full? It was definitely excitement for tonight. I would have to go tonight because I'm busy for the rest of the week with babysitting.
I sat down at a table alone, sorting out my plan for tonight. Pretty much no one was familiar with the mansion except the previous owners, whom I didn't know. "Saku-chan!" Naruto sat next to me with ramen and whole milk.
"Hey." I greeted "What's up bro?" I mocked him.
"Why aren't you eating?" He gave me a worried look.
"I'm too excited for tonight." I looked at him and gave him an innocent smile.
"Energy, you'll need." Ino sat down on the other side of me.
"Say ahhh!" Naruto practically shoved his ramen in my mouth. I chewed it down, nearly choking.
"Thanks dad." I crossed my arms.
"No problem, anyways, have you seen the new girl?" Naruto asked.
"The white-eyed one?" Ino asked, I was pretty curious too.
"Yeah! Her name's Hinata." Naruto smiled.
"Oh god, here we go." Ino and I both said together.
"She's cute, I think I'll ask her out. She got all nervous today in front of me, she's shy." Naruto wolfed his ramen down. "Her cousin goes here too." Naruto started. "His name's Nej-" I drowned out the voices, a wave of nausea washed over me. It came and went within milliseconds. Not short enough for my friends to not notice. A voice entered my head, and a vision. A woman pointed a white light to my eyes 'It will pass.' She said.
A flash of black effulged my vision for a second and I blinked and it was gone. "Sakura, you okay?" Ino was by my side.
"Yeah, a little sick feeling, hot flashes." Oh god, I needed to lay down.
"Naruto, help me get her to the nurse." Ino said worriedly.
"I can get there myself." I said, but a headache grew on me and Naruto put a hand on my forehead.
"Maybe it's from gym." Naruto said. "Your burning up."
"It would've happened there baka." I said to him and stood up. Everyone, I mean everyone was looking at me. We walked down the halls, my right hand on my stomach and my left arm around Naruto's shoulder. We passed a lot of faces that I really didn't feel like talking to.
We got in the office, skimmed through people to the clinic, The nurse immediately sat me down on a bed. I laid down as soon as I touched the rubber paper-covered like bed. I nearly passed out as soon as I put my head down on the paper but then I could hear Shizune talking to me.
"Sakura open your eyes." I did as told and she shined a light in my eyes "It will pass." Can you say de-ja-vu?! "Go ahead and sleep, I'll wake you up in time for dismissal."
And then I heard Naruto ask if I was going to be okay and if he could stay and I fell asleep.
--
I firstly opened my eyes and shielded them from light once I noticed the light above me. I secondly sat up on the rubber bed and glanced at the clock. It read 12:47pm. I slept for about an hour and thirteen minutes.
"How are you feeling?" Shizune asked.
"I'm fine now, can I go to class now?" I unshielded my eyes and looked at her, god! I wanted to hear Sai's story on Kurenai, thinking made my head spasm, I didn't complain though and took the water and aspirin from Shizune. Apparently Tenten's mom dropped it off, she was my legal guardian.
I took the pills and swallowed them down with the help of water. "Sure, I just need to ask you a question."
"Umm, I'm guessing I don't have a choice." I smiled at her and stood up.
"Do you know Uchiha Itachi?" She asked. Well, I guess I knew him.
"Well, yes-" She cut me off.
"Okay that's all I needed to know." Shizune wrote me a pass. Why did it matter?
"Thanks." I mumbled and grabbed my backpack from where Naruto apparently put it. I walked to class, ignoring any eye-contact and entered my favorite class, Math with Asuma-sensei.
"Late Haruno, that's not like you." I handed him the pass and went and took my seat. "Anyways-" He trailed on and on about myths, who knew there were math myths, I rested my head on my arms that were on my desk.
My long hair tickled my face and I had to brush it out of my face a few times. I opened my eyes for a second to see Kiba trying to refrain Naruto from bothering me. Thank you Kiba. I smiled and math was like a breeze.
SAT's were soon and I had already learned this stuff five times, they brief you in on what all you have learned and apparently Asuma was taking it seriously. About PEMDAS and which way and order to put what. I don't know if I drifted off but I opened my eyes at the sound of the school bell. I sat up and then stood up a little loopy.
I looked around and Ino was instantly next to me. "You should go home and rest." She looked worried.
"I will, I will. Where's Naruto?" I asked.
"He got called out early for some photographer thing." Ino sighed. "Thank the lord, eh?"
I smiled "Yeah."
I ended up going home as time fled past me. I walked thinking about Tenten, she's in war, I hope she's okay. She was a Helicopter pilot and I couldn't wait until she got back, we were really close, letting her go was hard. I entered the house, I don't know why, but I instantly felt better.
I'd go check the crime scene later along with the 'cat' possible mishap. I put my backpack down. I originally didn't walk from school but I felt really energetic, like now. I threw down my backpack by the door and wrote a note since it was going to get late by the time Tenten's mom was home.
'It's you know who.
Went out to do some dare-devil stuff, promise I'll be back not too late. I never am, am I? I left leftovers from dinner on the stove for you. Enjoy.
Love, you know who.'
I placed it on the counter as I whipped out a box of mac-and-cheese and a few hotdogs for Ms.Tenten. I Boiled water and threw in the hotdogs and boiled another pot then threw the noodles in. Dinner was that easy. Drained noodles, added the cheese powder and some milk, got out a few buns for hot dogs and I sat down in front of the television with dinner. I glanced at the clock. 4:35, I'd leave soon.
--
It was around 6:30 when I left. We leapt forward on time so it was already dark out. I showered and did dishes and my chores and grabbed my purse-looking-backpack. For Dare-devil-exercises of course.
I walked down the street un-noticed. I wore these black knee-length shorts and a black shirt with an outline of white. I pulled the drawstrings on my backpack tighter and slung it over my left shoulder and through my right arm.
I felt like I was being watched, 'I'm so glad I remembered to bring my cell phone!' I joked bitterly. I didn't have one, I'm supposed to get one for my next birthday when I turn seventeen. I glanced to the right as I continued down narrow roads. Something was following me, I wasn't going to panic because that might draw attention.
I managed to make it to the scene of the cat without attracting attention, question was: why was the thing still following me. Forget inspecting! If everyone was afraid of the mansion and afraid to go in, they wouldn't still follow me in right. I got out my flashlight that way when I got to the mansion I could high-tail it in…anyway possible.
I turned away from the alley and started sprinting to the place, this would show for sure who the hell was following me. I couldn't tell if anyone was following me when I turned down Calvary road and got in front of the gate leading to the mansion.
I stopped and panted, tugging at the tall gate, it didn't budge. I tucked my flashlight into my pocket and gripped onto the fence and started pulling myself up with my strength. This gate was like one of those that was tall and had bars vertically and hard to grip, but I managed and pulled myself over, then my flashlight slipped my pocket and landed on the ground below me.
I jumped down and tried out the flashlight, it was cracked and flashing, but it worked. The grass was tall and whipped my legs as I kneeled and ran through it. I sprinted up the porch past the overgrown bushes and managed to get to the front door. This house must have been built before world war II, it was grey and old. It squeaked as I took another step and then I tried the front door. It was unlocked! But then I whipped around to see a shadow whip past me, the flashlight flickering still.
To tell you the truth, it was scaring the crud out of me, I could just go back…but then I could continue. The shadow might be-well I don't know-something logical. I pushed the door open and tore through the vines and entered the place, not shutting the squeaky door behind me. This house was definitely one of those houses that looked like a palace, so why wasn't it in good shape?
The marble floors swirled red, manila and dark blue like a dance floor and it had a grand staircase leading to the second floor. My first thought was to tackle the bottom but something urged me onto the second floor. Why were my instincts defying me? They were supposed to go with the groove instead of urging me on to possible death. The staircase was marble so not creaks, but if someone got scared and tripped, they were done for, no if's and's or but's.
I got to the top quickly and pointed my flashlight to the left and started down the halls, I opened the first door that I came to on the right, twirled around and entered. I closed the door behind me hoping to get the stranger out of my mind and looked around. It looked like a normal dusty place with no care.
The bed was grand and the drapes on the window tied up. Dressers scattered and three doors and let's not forget a six foot mirror for looks. I stepped forward and the house creaked. That scared me so bad I was about to run out right then. I looked around, somehow this one rooms didn't scare me as much. I went to the mirror and looked into it, nada, nothing scary-feeling.
I whipped around for one last glance and was about to hightail it out until I blinked and when I opened my eyes I screamed. I tripped backwards and felt liquid effulge me. I shut my eyes quick and my back hit something hard. At first I felt a hand on my arm, but then my eyes darted open and Itachi Uchiha let go of my arm, wide-eyed.

Please review...ummm...I know it's odd...I don't think I can help it, hahahaha, cliffy much?
