The fierce tornado destroyed everything in it's wake

It came closer and closer to the rooted Sunflower that was rooted in the meadow.

The Raven had sat up in the tree every late day watching the beautiful Sunflower

grow biggerband beautiful as time went by.

He too saw the fast approaching storm.

He flew down and said to her, let me be your wings and I'll take you away from here.

She smiled at the dark and handsome raven, and replied, but if you pluck me I will soon die anyways.

But with me you will at least have more time than if you were demolished by the storm.

She agreed and he plucked her up and flew away.

Where are you taking me, the Sunflower asked the Raven.

Up to the heavens so you can at least experience what it is like to fly.

So up up up they went.. together for such a short time but never happier were they, for who gets to fly with the one they love?

CHAPTER 1

Konoha University was home to 30 thousand students. It was a coed college that was 3 stories high and had adjacent departments that made a wide half circle. A big green grassy court yard sat in the middle.

The back held a large wide expanse of a seemingly never-ending field that was for sports and cheerleading.

Under a set of silver metal bleachers stood Sasuke Uchiha, the university heart throb.. not by choice if you asked him. He has heard it all, heart throb, hunk, hottie, big man on campus, and The bad boy.

Bad boy was definitely accurate.

Sasuke tried his best to stay out of the limelight , all these girls were the same, giggly, self starving stick figures that drooled all over him. Sure he had other types that fawned over him but they tended to hide in the shadows.

In high school he remembered an obese girl who had had a crush on him but due to her position in society had stayed unseen.

Sasukes onyx orbs narrowed as he stared out into the field, the cheerleading squad 30 feet away bouncing and flipping over one another like Mexican jumping beans.

He took another drag off his cigarette, the harsh smoke burning his throat before he exhaled it out of his lungs.

"Come on ladies, the big game is friday, make them jumps perfect!" Ino yamanaka the cheer captain hollered, her long blonde ponytail flying about her shoulders.

"Saskura, pick your leg up higher .. like this," Ino threw her right leg up in the air, her shin only 15 inches from her pert nose.

Sakura Haruno, Sasuke's biggest fangirl, huffed irritable and tried unsuccessfully to imitate Ino.

Sasuke rolling his eyes dropped his cigarette and stomped it out with his boot.

He stealthily scampered from underneath the bleachers without any of his (fan club) seeing him and hurried towards the dorms.

Hinata Hyuga, sweet and shy and naturally beautiful and of course unpopular. Which was fine by her, she never liked to be in the lime light either. Thankfully today she had no more classes.

Like an addict to his or her drug of choice she anxiously opens her laptop and hit the power button to wake it, she never turned it off.

Wrapping her grey blanket tighter around her she bit her bottom lip and brought up her daily frequented website, The Dark Lounge. It was a chat site for people who have been dealt any sort of hardship, from drug addiction to losing a loved one in an accident. What started as just a curiosity had become her safe haven.

She had met another user on the site, TheRaven88. It had been a month since they had met online and had become close, creating their own private chat room.

Their relationship was not only platonic but mysterious as well, even though the two had been chatting online for a month, they still didnt know a whole lot about each other.

It was though neither wanted to end the mystery.

~You have entered the dark lounge-

Appeared on her screen in light blue words that sat on a black background. She smiled giddyly and clicked on the private chat.

TheRaven88 is online.

Sunflower17: hello

TheRaven88: hey there

Hinata ignored the guilt she always felt upon talking to her mysterious friend. Hinata had a boyfriend but it wasn't like she was cheating. They were only friends, online friends at that.

Sunflower17: how was your day?

Hinata saw the dots appearing and disappearing on the bottom of the screen signaling the other person was typing.

Then..

TheRaven88: Same shit different day.. Except I did check out that book you told me about.. That had the "the raven and the sunflower" poem in it :)

Sunflower17: oh that's great! Did you read it yet?

TheRaven88: lol chill woman I just checked it out today, havent had a chamce yet.

Chance*

Hinata smiled at his words and his typo, everything about him made her grin.

Her fingers immediately flew across the keyboard as she typed her response.

Sunflower17: Kay..well let me know what you think when you do! :P

TheRaven88: I sure will. Have you checked out that band I told you about?

Sunflower17: I did! I loved them!

TheRaven88: I have another for you, they are called "Deep Cuts" if you liked "Laughing Sam" then you will love them to!

Sunflower17: Thanks I will check them out.

Sakura held up a black dress in from of her, her bright green eyes shimmering with mischief behind them.
"This is the dress! He will definitely rid the word no out of his vocabulary after he sees me in this, right Ino?"
Ino puckered up her red lips in front of the mirror. Her reflection looking ready for a kiss.

"You know, Sakura, your not the only girl in this university who is trying to bag Sasuke" Ino stated, as she pulled her long jaw length bangs over her right eye. Sakura knew all about the other girls and she didn't care in the least.

Sakura tossed the skimpy black material on her bed and pounced over to her dresser, opening the top drawer she quickly rummaged through loads of thongs and nylons until she found the object she was looking for.

"Dark red, I'll be the dark seductress" Sakura said, waving the tube of dark red lipstick at Ino. Ino snatched it from her hand, earning a glare from the bubble gummed haired girl. Ino quickly wiped the bright red wax off her lips and slid the dark red tube of lipstick over her lips. "Ah... this is sexy!" Ino raved. Sakura rolled her eyes and snatched it back. "I know and I stole this fair and square, get your own Ino pig!" Sakura spat.

Ino ignored her insult and blotted her lips on a tissue. "Know Sasuke he won't even be at this party, tomorrow" Sakura hung the black dress back in her closet. "Which is why I am going to his dorm room to pick him up" Sakura stated as if it were a no brainer. Ino wrinkled her nose as she patted powder onto it. "You know, if I wasn't already taken.. me and you both would be fighting over dear Sasuke" Ino said, almost warningly. Sakura scoffed, as she slipped on her red night shirt.

"But you are taken and don't underestimate me, you always do that" Sakura replied, hurt in her tone. Ino sighed and looked over at her best friend, "I didn't say you would lose" Ino interjected, rolling her eyes. Sakura plopped down on her bed hugging her stuffed pink teddy bear. Her chin resting on top of it's head. Sakura had never had a guy reject her and it was eating her alive, what with her slim figure and bright green eyes and candy pink locks, she had always been considered an exotic catch. But this guy...Sasuke Uchiha had definitely rejected her. Its a good thing Sakura Haruno never gave up.
