Sakura:

Light emitted from the cracks in the earth. I was surrounded by walls and corridors that looked the same. It was too confusing. I walked on and on, but everything looked identical-it was like a maze. A maze with walls made of stone and bricks. I suddenly heard clicking noises coming from behind me. As I quickly turned around I saw a giant snake, its fangs dripping with venom, coming towards me. I let a piercing scream fall from my mouth.

I woke up with a start. 'What was that all about?' I asked myself. That was the weirdest dream I have had in my entire life. Today was supposed to be one of the greatest days of my life. It was the day that I would finally graduate from the Ninja Academy in Konoha. What a horrible way to start the day.

My name is Haruno, Sakura. I have dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. I am 12 years old, and my family had an accident, in which they died, when I was very little, so I was taken in by the Haruno's. I never even got to know my original last name. When the Haruno's found me they said that I told them my name was Sakura, but I never mentioned a last name. I wish I could remember how my parents looked like, not that I dislike my adoptive parents, but I always wonder what my life would have been if I was still with my birth parents. The accident that most likely killed my parents was a fire. All I remember from the day I was found was that I was running and I was surrounded by the horrendous, sweltering heat and the smoldering smoke. So the ninjas assumed that I had escaped death, but my parents had not been so fortunate.

After I got dressed, and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I made myself some toast, and poured myself a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. I glanced at the clock and realized that if I didn't hurry I would be late. I finished my toast and ran to the front door racing to the academy.

I walked up to my classroom. Iruka-sensei was in charge of our class. I carefully made my way to my favorite seat near the middle row. 'Oh crap!' Someone was sitting in my favorite seat. 'That's what you get Sakura, next time make sure you get up early.' The person who was sitting in my seat had black hair and onyx eyes.

I made my way over to him and gently tapped him on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, would you mind moving over? I usually sit in this seat and..." I began to say before I was rudely interrupted by him.

"No. I was here first. I'm not moving." He seemed to have an ominous, dark personality.

I was beyond mad, I was fuming, but I didn't want to cause any trouble, so I just took the seat beside him. I was partially to blame for being late. This day had sure started out rotten. I was sure my aura was making people stay away from me. It was probably letting of signals that said, 'Mess with me today and you will surely regret it.' I began to fiddle with my fingers trying to let the anger wash away, but it wasn't really working too well. I tried a different method taking in a few deep breaths and that seemed to do the trick. I also took notice that many girls were glaring in my direction. 'What was wrong with them?' I asked myself.

Iruka-sensei walked in. He gave us a beautiful speech. He was very proud of us, and he hoped that we would achieve our dreams of becoming valuable and strong Konoha Ninja-becoming a genin was definitely the first step towards our goals. He began numbering us off into different squads. He said that this would be our genin squad. From this day forward these would be our designated teams; the ones we would do missions with.

"Squad 7. Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura..."

"Yes! Sakura-chan is in my squad."

"Naruto.", Iruka-sensei said in a stern voice.

"Sorry, Iruka-sensei."

"As I was saying...Squad 7 Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke."

"WHAT! Why do I have to be with this bastard!?"

I was silently agreeing with Naruto's protest, but that was only because he hadn't moved from "my" seat.

"Naruto, Sasuke scored one of the top grades in the exams, while you...well your exam wasn't exactly outstanding."

Naruto turned beet red and sat down. My inner was silently raging about getting stuck with a prick and loud-mouthed idiot. This squad would certainly be interesting.

Everyone scampered off to see who their senseis would be. We were left in the classroom waiting for ours. Time went by slowly, and that's when I realized that we were the only ones that were left in the room. He was extremely late it had been at least three hours since everyone else had gone to find their senseis. I just wanted to go home and take a nice hot bath, partially because I hadn't had time to shower in the morning and also to soothe my aching muscles-which were still tight from my evening training sessions.

"Sakura-chan? Do you think Kakashi-sensei will fall for this trick?" Naruto asked. He was putting an eraser at the top of the door; he was putting it at the top so when the door slid it would fall on his head.

"I don't know I surely hope he won't." I answered, "He will surely hate us." Inside I was cheering for him to fall for it. I wanted to see him squirm.

"Sakura-chan lighten up!"

"A jounin would never fall for such a lame trick." Sasuke contributed.

A few minutes later our sensei slid the door open, and sure enough the eraser fell on his head making white powdery dust fly on his hair and clothes.

He cleared his throat and stated, "My first impression of you, and I already hate you."

I deadpanned; I hated it when I was right. We went up to the roof of the academy, and he asked us to introduce ourselves. I asked him if he would do an example so we would know what to say, and let's just say all we learned from him was his name, which was Hatake Kakashi. Naruto basically liked ramen and he had a crush on me, and he wanted to be acknowledged by the villagers and become Hokage. A quite remarkable dream for such an idiot, but his eyes shone with determination and I was sure he would train hard to achieve his goal. Sasuke wanted to restore his clan, and kill a certain man that had wronged him in the past. And me, all they really got from me was how I came to be a Haruno, and my name. I wasn't much of a talker, but I felt that they deserved to know at least something besides my name.

I really didn't see why all the girls insisted on fawning over Sasuke. I mean sure he was very good looking, but he had an extremely big ego and a very bad personality. He would barely even talk and when he did he used grunts. He could be nice at times, but it seemed like he was not being very sincere. I tried to stay as far away from him as possible, and I would mostly hang out with Naruto. At least Naruto would talk to me. Even if he was an annoying loudmouth, he was good company.

Sasuke:

This girl on my team was different from the rest. She wasn't fawning over me with drool hanging out of her mouth nor was she constantly trying to ask me out. She seemed to think I didn't even exist, which in turn really frustrated me. Had I done something wrong? Why did I even care so much?

'Had she done something to me?' I normally didn't think about girls…at all wanted to find out why she would avoid me. Was she her own species or something? Any other girl in her place would be rather pleased that she was on my team, but this girl seemed completely unfazed.

I was walking to the bridge were we would usually meet before we started training. We had made it our official meeting place. As usual, I was the first one there. I waited patiently for everyone to arrive. Hey, it wasn't my fault that I always arrived ten to fifteen minutes early. As I stared of into space, I began to let my mind zone out. I needed to get stronger so I could defeat my older brother and kill him. He had massacred my whole clan. He had let me live, so I could hunt him down and kill him. It was my destiny to be an avenger, and I needed to get my clan's revenge.

I heard light footsteps on the pavement. I looked up, and saw Sakura making her way to the bridge, as she reached the bridge she seemed to tense up more. She didn't say anything. She just stood as far away as possible from me.

"What is your problem?" I sneered. The tension had been driving me nuts, so I decided to confront her about it. Maybe I should have been nicer…

Her face seemed to go from shock to embarrassment to anger, but those emotions left as soon as they had appeared. She quickly composed herself and answered, "I don't have a problem."

"Yes, you do. Do you not like me? Did I do something to offend you?" I asked her sincerely, but smirked to prove I wasn't really interested. I couldn't help myself from asking, and I was just curious that's all. There was definitely nothing else going on.

"...No it's not that, really, it's just that...well...you seem...I don't know...unreachable. So why would I bother trying to talk to you?" Her answer kind of shocked me. She wasn't even embarrassed to tell me the truth. She said it like it was no big deal.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean if I were to start a conversation you would most likely ignore me, unless there was something you could gain."

"Hn." She was right, but she could have at least attempted to try to talk to me; after all, we were teammates now.

"Whatever. Forget I said anything." She seemed to be annoyed with my reaction. I couldn't really blame her…much.

I waited patiently for the dobe and Kakashi-sensei to arrive. I was growing impatient once more, but then I heard the dobe's voice.

"SAKURA-CHAN!"

"NARUTO! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO BE QUIET!?"

"...um gomen Sakura-chan."

"It's okay Naruto. I was just a little annoyed." I could have sworn she sent me a glare when she said that.

Kakashi arrived late, as usual, and training went pretty well. It seems that I am not the only one of my teammates that hides things. Sakura's past seems a little too suspicious, and Naruto sometimes doesn't seem himself, especially when he gets angry.

I wonder what they could be hiding.

Well that is my first chappie! =D I'm so happy and I hope you will enjoy this fanfic. It will be the first one that I will make with chapters. I might me a little slow at updating because I have a lot of schoolwork lately, but I will try to update at least once a week. Well thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed.
