Hope you enjoy my first attempt at fanfiction!

R/R would be much appreciated!

The city is quiet at night despite all the lights illuminating part of the cold sky. Before the sun is even setting, people are in their houses, the doors locked, and the curtains drawn. So there is absolutely no one out. Even the rats from the sewers seem to know better then to be out past night fall.
But tonight is different. With everything happening, it's nice to go for a walk and clear the mind. Even if it's practically forbidden..
The wind is starting to pick up as I make my way towards my house. My light pink hair is beginning to fly everywhere along with my coat. I quickly button the center button so it doesn't fly off.
As I make a turn down another street, I hear crunching behind me as if someone else was stupid enough to be out this late. I don't turn around and I definitely do not stop.
We've all heard the rumors and stories about why we all stay inside before nightfall.
People believe that.. something lurks among the city streets at night, waiting, hunting. For someone who was unlucky enough to be caught out past their bedtime. A lot of people have gone missing after being seen outside after dark. But no one is usually found.. Well alive that is. Numerous bodies have been found before, except for a select few who have never been disovered. All the bodies that we found have had their throats cut out, so that leaves room for superstitions as crazy as they come.
I continue walking, picking up the pace as I enter a darker area. I wouldn't even think of going through here if there was a more direct way other than this one alley.
The sounds bouncing through the dark and murky walls are creepy to say the least. I know for a fact someone is following me, but I am too tired and too sore to care.
I just got out of the hospital after training with Naruto and Sai in the fields. I work at running the hospital as much as possible and usually get caught up with Naruto, either training or eating at Ichibad's before heading home.
Tonight, I had worked late but promised the guys I'd eat with them which then basically turned into a training session after a couple stupid things were said.
I make it out into the moonlight and basically sprint for my apartment that's further down across the street.
It may just be paranoia, but I lock my door with a seal around my apartment as to prevent anyone from getting in that is using an unusual amount of chakra. I walk through and turn on any lights I see necessary to be on this late.
"Freaking nerves.." I hiss out as I grab a bottle of wine from my cooler and a glass from the cabinet in the kitchen. It's not a small apartment but it's big enough for a small group to stand comfortably in, which is why I got this really...

My friends and I always seem to have gatherings here or at Sai's... I don't know why though he never has anything but art and scrolls.. Not that the art is bad but there's just so much.. Tons and tons of art and scrolls.. That would be the main reason his house is a backup for mine.
I walk to my room upstairs with a glass of red wine and my phone.
I've learned from past experiences that it's not wise to not answer when one of my boys, or anyone I know really, calls. So I have to keep it on me at all times.
I walk over and press play on my old stereo, it lets some weird noise out before playing a random song. I swear the damned thing hisses at me sometimes..
I set my glass down on the dark oak dresser by my door and walk to the bathroom to turn on the shower.
I glance at my large balcony window before grabbing my clothes and stepping back into the humid air. I strip down to nothing before stepping into the hot water, letting my aching muscles relax into the warmth.
I still can't believe the boys got into another fight, all because of me not drinking at dinner. Naruto thought it was because I was scared of turning into Tsunade who couldn't put the bottle down even as Hokage. Sai on the other hand just thought it was because Sake is disgusting, which it is. So in truth, both of them are right. I can't stand the taste and I don't want to have to try and run a hospital drunk. I can't even imagine trying to be a top medic with an alcohol problem.
My thoughts are interrupted as my phone starts going off.
"I'm walking on sunshine! Woah! I'm walking on sunshine! Wo-o-oah! I'm walking on sunshine and don't it-" I pick up, knowing who it is by the ringtone.
"Naruto, I just saw you-"
"Sakura! Can I come over?! It's creepy out here!"
"What? Why can't you... Fine." I say tiredly as I turn the water down so I can hear better.
"Okay good 'cause I'm outside now!" He says before someone starts banging on my front door.
"Ugh hold on." I say before hanging up and turning the water off. I grab my teal towel and slip on my flats before running down the stairs, my hair still dripping all over the place.
Honestly I just don't want him out there alone longer then need be. Bad memories..
"Hey! Thanks!" The blonde idiot says before running in behind me, leaving me staring at that dark alley again. A shadow moves slightly as I turn on the porch light.
"Whatcha looking at?" He asks from behind me before I shake my head and turn the light off, leaving it dark again.
"Thought I saw something.. Now what are you doing here?" I demand as I slam the door and lock it again.
"Well you see.. Sai and I were gonna head home, but then we got distracted and ended up back at Ichibad's for another drink and Sai lives close to here so I had to walk alone in the dark and it's pretty damn scary out there." He says laying back against the couch.
"And your reasoning for coming here instead of with Sai?" I ask, fixing my towel and walking into the kitchen.
"I just wanted to see my Sakura." He says turning on the tv and kicking his shoes off before propping them up on the coffee table. I scoff as he leans back and gives me a sly toothy grin.

He's grown a lot in the last few years, insanely handsome with his tan features and messy hair always sticking up in random places. Training in the summer is the best because he just so happens to not have a shirt on most of the time.
"Sai wouldn't let you stay, would he?" I say laughing a little before heading towards the stairs.
"No.. Hey where ya goin?" He asks as I start on the first step.
"To finish showering and go to sleep. Which you need to do too. You reek." I say before walking up the stairs and heading to my room.
This is actually a regular occurrence with him. Ever since Sasuke went missing at night, he's been wary about staying out after dark unaccompanied. So I let him stay in the guest room, but most of the time he'll end up in my room at some point during the night when he hears a noise. Which is okay, I mean I enjoy the company sometimes.
I make my way to my bathroom and grab my glass I left on the dresser. It seems to have warmed up after being left out, it's a slightly redder color. After taking a sip and almost choking, I lock the door and slip back in the hot water.
That wine had a strange irony taste to it, but the bottle isn't from Konoha. I get a lot of my wine from out of town. Okay so I don't drink sake but I do drink wine.. I'm a pretty heavy wine drinker.
After finishing my shower, smelling like strawberries, and finishing the glass of wine, I throw on my bra and underwear and step back into the room.
"Saku! Hey can I-" Naruto begins before seeing me half naked and standing there like a statue.
"Naruto! The hell?!" I scream before grabbing a shirt and throwing it on.
"Sorry! Sorry! I was just uh.. Oh yeah! Can I use your shower?"
"No! There's one downstairs for a reason." I say before grabbing my glass and walking back down stairs not bothering to grab pants.
"But Sakura.." He whines as he follows me into the kitchen. I just pour another glass before leaning back on the counter and rolling my eyes.
"Why?"
"Well it gets scary down here and cold and your room is always so warm and smells amazing.. Just like you." He says, watching me as I examine the dark wine bottle. I don't really listen too carefully and instead read the bottle.
The label says Dark Desires 1820.. The bottom is carved with a symbol..
"Sasuke?" I say as the symbol matches the Uchiha family symbol.
"What?" Naruto says walking next to me and staring at the bottle.
"This symbol.. Was Sasuke's family secretly into the wine business or something?" I ask, setting the bottle down and grabbing my glass again to examine the liquid. It's a deep red and doesn't have any bubbles or anything in it.
"Not that I remember, but his brother wasn't really around so it could be from him. So can I?" He asks, giving me his sad face.
No matter how hard I try I can't say no to his face. I giggle a little, blaming it on the wine and nod, exaggerating my sigh.
"But how about I stay down here while you take a shower in the guest room and then go to bed." I say, trying to make a deal. It's not so much the privacy point as much as it is he always gets dirt all of my bathroom that I have to go back over and clean.
"Fine... But will you still see me to bed?" He says waiting for my nod but I simply shake my head causing him to look down sadly before taking off for the bathroom.
I laugh a little and take my glass and sit on the couch. I pick up the remote and turn on the tv. The movie Big Fish is on. One of my absolute favorite movies with Ewan McGregor.

A lot of things have changed over the years in Konoha. New couples, new missions, new people. Temari and Shikamaru ended up hitting it off after sparring a few times and meeting up on missions. Obviously Ino and Kiba after he helped her out on a mission to Suna. Then there's Naruto and I, mainly we just date without labeling it as that.. It's not that I'm scared of a relationship it's just.. I don't want anything to happen where he gets too attached. He's got a lot more possibilities than I do to become something, Hokage for one. So we keep it simple for now just acting normal unless one of us feels the need to get physical.
I feel my eyes getting heavier before I finish off my second glass.

I feel someone pick me up and hold me to their chest. They smell nice.. Wait what? But I'm too tired to care so I just wrap my arms around the person's neck and snuggle into their chest.

"Sakura.."
I'm running through the outskirts of town at night. Why?
I'm too focused on getting away to even think about why.
"Sakura, I will find you." A deep voice says from somewhere around me in the trees. I sense someone moving behind me and before I know it, I'm on the ground. With someone hovering over me. I can't see their face, but their eyes are a dark red and I watch as they get close to my neck.
"Sakura, I've missed you." I hear the person say before they sink their teeth into the spot connecting my shoulder to my neck. It's an odd sensation causing me to let out a scream as I'm overcome with an ice feeling running through my veins.

"Sakura!" I shoot forward into someone's arms, shaking. That dream was so freaking real.
"You okay?" Naruto asks, hugging me to him tightly.
"Y-yeah.. That was just a fucked up dream.." I say quietly. I mean that was one of the realist dreams I've ever had.. And who was the guy?
"What.. What time is it?" I ask, backing away from him on the bed. I notice it's finally light outside.. Really light out.
"Only like 10." He says in a very nonchalant tone.
"Oh ok-..." I begin until I realize what he just said.
"It's already 10?! I'm so freaking late!" I scream, basically falling out of the bed, only to be caught by my waist.
"It's Saturday.."
"I have to meet Tsunade at 10:30 to discuss things for a new children's wing on the hospital! Oh my-" I run into the bathroom and throw my toothbrush in as I run back into the room and fly around, grabbing different articles of clothing.
"Sakura-"
"Can you throw me that pwease." I say slightly before putting my toothbrush back in.
"Sakura!"
"What?!"
"Granny called earlier and I moved the time for you." I pause and take a breath.
"Oh shwe.. She.. you did?" I say, removing the toothbrush.
He nods and chuckles at me. I look down and see that I'm half dressed with my hair all on one side and toothpaste on my chest.
"Yeah.." I say awkwardly before backing into the bathroom.
Oh my jeeze. That was so embarrassing! Wait why was that embarrassing? It's Naruto. I've had a whole wet t-shirt incident happen with him and Sai and Kakashi. Not to mention that time Lee stole my top so I had to run around the field half naked.
I quickly pull back my hair and wash my face and chest of toothpaste and get rid of my toothbrush. I put a little eyeliner and mascara on and open the door.
"You never got to kiss me goodnight Sakura, maybe that's why you had a bad bad dream?" Naruto says from my bed that he's laying shirtless on with only boxers on... I just roll my eyes and fall down next to him still in my underclothes, consisting of a teal bra and maroon underwear.
"Sooo... Can I?" He asks turning to me hopeful. I just laugh until he takes that as a sign to go ahead. He pulls me over to him and begins to kiss me lightly
So like I said before, I just haven't accepted telling everyone that we do these things about every other night.. I mean they already assume so why put the effort into that?
He rolls me over so I'm on top of him, still kissing. Suddenly his mouth is now on my neck slowly creating circles with his tongue. This goes on for a few more minutes until we go to switch so he's on top. If I had bothered to check for anything weird I wouldn't have missed the man that made it through my window and was now staring at us.
"Sai?! The hell is with you guys and sneaking into my apartment, uninvited?!" I basically scream, grabbing the shirt laying on the ground next to the bed and pushing Naruto off of me.
"Naruto said I could come over... And nice shirt." He says causing me to glance down at the white shirt with the Uzumaki family crest on it.
Literal face palm.
"Gahh!" I feel my eyebrow begin to twitch, so I take off down the stairs to grab breakfast.
I reach up and rub my sore neck.. Sore neck? I lower my hand that seems to have something red on it.
"The fuck?!" I run to the bathroom down the hall and switch on the light.
I rub a sore spot between my collar bone and neck that has red on it. It comes off..
"It's just wine.." I say, letting out a breath of relief.
"Hey, Sakura! You okay in there?" Naruto yells from the hallway, not wanting to invade my privacy. That's a first..
"Yeah!" I say coming out into the light cascading through the window to our right.

"Tsunade, we need a children's wing! I mean we don't have enough room already, but-"
"Sakura, if you bothered to look before you came.. It's already been done." The hazel eyed woman before me says with a smirk before taking a swig from her sake bottle.
"...What?" I say astonished.
"You mean.."
"Yes, I already had it added." She says causing me to freak. Like really freak.
"You are THE best! Thank you so much!" I screech before running and hugging my grandmother tightly, almost knocking over the chairs I had been walking around. The reason I've been wanting to add a children's wing is because of the amount of young kids that try to go to the fields and train and end up needing help. Considering the fact we already usually have a large number of adults coming in from missions gone wrong children usually have to wait, so if we added a pediatric ward that would help with the kids getting treated. Plus I'd get my own giant office..
"Yeah, yeah. Now shoo, I've got 'work' to do." She says holding up her bottle and some paper work. I nod quickly before basically skipping out of the room.
"Hey, Sakura. How'd it go?" Kakashi asks, leaning outside of the door on the tan wall. I don't even respond, I just hug him tightly, missing the slight red that spreads across his face.
"G-Good, I assume." He stutters as I back up. Kakashi Hatake stuttering? Oh well I'm too excited to care.
"It's been added! Let's go celebrate.. Wait, no I probably shouldn't, I mean I need to go and.."
"No, you deserve it! You've worked over every night for the past two weeks, trying to get it done. I'll take you to the best place around." He says grinning under his mask, I can tell because his eye is squinted upwards. Even not being able to see his face Kakashi is still one of the more attractive men I've seen in my twenty years. With his grey hair sticking back allowing a full view of his handsome features.
"Okay. Let's go then." I say smiling and kissing his cheek. The dark cloth tickles my lips as I linger for a second.
"Thanks." I add before taking his arm and walking down the dim hall. Most likely dim so the light doesn't kill Tsunade with her hangovers she gets..

Kakashi's POV
I can't believe what I'm seeing.. She's got her lab coat on, but only a low tank top and shorts. Not to mention all the skin showing from her beautiful milky legs.
I know it's wrong to think about my student like this but.. She's grown into the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Her long pink hair and doe like emerald eyes are enough to push someone over the edge, but her curves are just.. She is the picture of beauty. And I know I'm not the only one who thinks so.. She's just so innocent and pure looking... Until you get her on the training fields then that's a whole other story.. She's made it so far from her younger years where she would need saving, now she's the one saving people.
As we step into the sunlight, we are greeted with people scurrying by quickly, unless they see her and they slow down to stare at her. I glare at anyone who dares look longer than a second, but I go back to watching her as we walk over the cracks in the sidewalk.
"Hey, Kakashi, you okay?" She asks as we walk out to another busy street.
She caught me staring again...
"Uh yeah! Yeah! Fine, just.. You've got something red on you." I say quickly, pointing to the red blotch on her neck...
"Shoot! I thought I got it all off! I had some wine last night and.. Well the blonde idiot showed up and I fell asleep and apparently he wasn't careful taking the glass from me. Heh.." She says rubbing at the wrong spot. Before I know what I'm doing, I've reached out and rubbed the spot after licking my finger. She freezes and her face turns red.
Sakura's POV
Oh. My. Fuck.
Is Kakashi wiping my neck off? After licking his finger?
Woah there.. Calm down!
I can't help the redness that crawls onto my face as he rubs against my neck.
"S-sorry. You were missing it." He says, clearing his throat and turning into stone. If he's ever caught doing something he thinks is wrong he'll put on his stone façade and continue as usual.
"T-thanks.." I basically squeak as we continue walking.
Honestly, apart from our age difference, we'd probably be a perfect couple. But alas he's my sensei and more than likely doesn't even try to think of me in that way... It would be amazing though if he did.. I mean with his abilities going on missions with him would be an actual work out and he's helped me more than a few times in the past.
Suddenly two arms snake their way around my waist, causing me to send my arm back defensively, only to have it caught by a hand.
"Hey! Saku! Kakashi." Naruto says from behind me as he lifts me up.
"Put me down!" I scream as he spins me around like a doll.
"Aren't you two a sight for sore eyes." Kakashi all but hisses. I glance over to see Sai walking next to us with blank eyes. He's still not too keen with his emotions, but we've been working on that for a while now.
"Sorry, were we interrupting something?" Sai says, almost sarcastically. Almost.
"We were just headed to- lunch!" I scream as Naruto almost falls over the curb.
"Put me down, damnit!" I add until I'm set down gently.

My boys.. Er well Naruto at least.. Naruto is the most rambunctious guy you'll ever meet. But hey, someone's gotta love him for it.
"Sorry.." He says sadly before taking my arm. I really don't even try to fight it at this point.
"Can we go to Ichibad's?! Please!" Naruto yells causing me to hold my head. Just because I drink wine doesn't mean I don't get headaches after drinking a few glasses. It works weirdly for me.
"We can just eat somewhere different Saturday night." I whisper to Kakashi as we change direction and head towards said place.
The streets are filled with people, all busy and running to jobs or lunch. There is a group of kids playing on the street corner.
I sigh as I remember the days that we were all kids who would just run around and annoy Kakashi to death, with Sasuke.
Somewhere in the outskirts of
town

"I must have that beautiful doll.."

"Didn't she try to kill you..?"

"That's irrelevant."

"I called dibs, yeah!"

"Y'all are fucking wrong! I saw that hot bitch first!"

"Yeah she probably loves to be called a bitch."

"Bite me fishy!"

"I would but I don't eat shit."

"Fuck you and-!"
"Hey! I am the leader and what I say goes! Now shut it!" An orange haired man barks as the other men in the room grow silent before starting up again after a few heated glares.
"Tobi likes the pretty woman!"
"I wonder if she likes fish.."

"Oh you fucking wish!"
"Like she would ever look at you assholes. But me.. I've known her all my life.."
"Wait.. What?! No fair, yeah!" A blonde yells as the younger Uchiha in the room stands up and walks towards the door.
"Wrong again, brother. I was here years before you and took care of her when you were still a child." The older Uchiha says, half way snorting at the attitude of his brother. Some boys just have the need to be so damn dramatic..
"Did she ever want to be with you? Or cry when you disappeared? I don't think so!" The younger one yells like an angry toddler before stalking out of the room, earning multiple eye rolls from the other men in the room.
"As Fucking if." A silver haired man says, rolling his eyes before continuing in the discussion.

"I think it's his time of the month, yeah." Someone remarks earning a few chuckles before hearing a door slam.
"Sakura.. I'm finally going to find you.. Tonight.."

"No staying the night at my house again." I say pointing at Naruto, earning a whine.
"But Sakura.. I love our sleepovers! You're soo warm and you smell delicious!" I literally go blank. I cover my face with both hands and groan.
"That's what you two do when he stays the night." Sai says from beside me, not exactly asking but just trying to call us out on it.
"No! He sleeps on the couch until something scares him and he runs up to me like a little girl!" I yell before stalking off, angrily. It's getting dark out.
"I'll walk you home." Sai says as Naruto dramatically makes whining sounds.

"No fair!"
"Thank you, Sai." I say taking the artist's arm, he tenses up slightly. He tries to hide it but I see his faint blush and him glance at me. I've almost mastered figuring out sullen looking men and their expressionless faces and what they actually mean, lots of practice through the years.
"Soo how's life." I say as we walk past Ino's' flower shop and take a right down another street that's full of children running before getting called inside.
"Apart from being around idiots all the time. Fine." He says like a stone again. Well there went the hope of improving his emotions..
"'And how was your day my lovely Sakura?'" I say mimicking his voice.
"Well thank you for asking, Sai! It was great." I tease, earning a scoff.
"Well would you look at that. Here we are." I say looking at the two apartment buildings. Sai lives literally one apartment complex down from me. Naruto is just annoying. Cute and dreamy but annoying nonetheless...
"See you tomorrow, Sakura." He says, walking up to his door, but he waits for me to get to mine and we walk into our separate houses at the same time. It may seem silly, but it's just a precaution after so many people have gone missing at night..
I lock my door and put the same seal on my house as last night.. And every other night. After making sure all is in check I walk in and grab a glass of water and walk up the tan carpeted stairs to my dark room to turn on the shower and take a bath. I start to set up my towel and move the curtain only to be interrupted.
Funny how I can never just get into the shower right when I want.
"Tiptoe through the window, by the window. That's where you'll-" I pick up quickly, I hate that creepy song. I only have it because Ino hates it too and I like messing with her.
"What's up, Ino?"
"Girl! You'll never guess what just happened!"
"What?! Did you finally learn how to fly?!" I say sarcastically, making a pig reference.
"What?! Oh what? Hey, no! Kiba just proposed!" She all but squeals into the phone. I put her on speaker and walk around to find my night clothes.
"How'd he do it?" I say, trying not to sound jealous. I mean we are twenty finally, but she always does everything before me. And I mean everything.. Except when it comes to work or training.
"We were just hanging out, ya know! And next thing I know we're making out and-"
"Ino, you know I don't like hearing about your sex life." I say loudly so she can hear me. I pick up my hamper of clean clothes and start putting them away in the appropriate drawers before tossing some on my bed.
"Oh stop being so uptight! It's not my problem you won't let anyone touch you. I mean you've got Naruto, Kakashi, and Sai! Three guys! Three! All who want to get in your pants and be with you, obviously really really badly! Oh and Gaara and-"
"Get back to your story." I say huffing as I walk back into the bathroom to turn off the water once it's filled the tub.
"Okay so we were making out and he grabbed my hands and then Akamaru interrupted us and I was pissed until I saw the dog smiling! Smiling! With a ring on one tooth! It was soo romantic!" She says, sighing dreamily into the phone.
Ugh she always gets things like this first.. Even if it is a ring with dog slobber on it..
"That's great! I call maid of honor!"
"Well duh! And I'm sure one day you'll give in to one of those guys and lose your V card. And then live happily ever after." I scoff at her remark and throw off my shirt onto the floor in the bathroom.
"Uhh who said I still had it?" I comment, smirking a little as I hear her sputter a bit.
"Oh come on, you would've told me.. Right? Right?!"
"Congrats Pig, bye!" I say laughing as I hang up and walk back into the bathroom with clean underclothes.

I add a strawberry bath bomb to the water and then slip in after it's disintegrated, turning the water a pink color.

I sigh a bit thinking about how far she and I have come in our friendship..

Back when we were a lot younger we used to fight all the time once we realized there was a cute boy our age, little did we know how fruitless it was to fight for him. We weren't always brats to each other, I mean she helped my self esteem when I was close to giving up on trying. She would help me with my hair and added a bow to it to bring the attention away as much as possible. Then after a while we were just talking about different things and we both brought up we liked someone and when we found out it was the same person.. We weren't going to let the other win just like everything else we tried for. After I was on the same team with said guy we just fought even more but eventually we both gave up after countless rejections and made up and became really good friends. I wouldn't exactly say I trusted her with my life but everything else? Sure.

"Looks like she actually beat me this time.." I sigh out, sinking further into the water. My pink hair starts to rise to the surface before floating around me as I move my head.

After a soothing bath and many strange noises from my room later, I put my bra and underwear on and walk into my now dark room.
I almost call out to whatever was here, assuming Naruto just let himself in until I hear something creak in the closet. Even Naruto knows that freaky trying to scare me shit doesn't fly. He learned that the hard way and still has a scar to prove it.

I grab a kunai quietly from the dresser and hold it in my defensive stance. I listen for more movement which probably wouldn't have been a big deal had I not seen something move slightly behind the sliding door to the left. I'm not one to fuck around with intruders... Unless it's Naruto..
"I know you're there." I say loudly as I wait for something. I reach over and turn on the light in my closet and room, hearing an instant hissing noise from the same place as the creak.
"Sakura.." I recognize the voice almost immediately. I've dreamt of this voice for the past eight years.
"S-Sasuke?!" I practically yell as he opens the closet slowly. He's got pale almost white skin and black eyes with a hint of red that seem to be staring right through me. His hair has stayed the same coal color with the back spiked and the front framing his face. His overall appearance seems to have gotten more.. Handsome... If that's even possible for an Uchiha.
"What the hell?! What happened to you?! It's been eight years! What the fuck dude?! We were all worried sick! And I.. I.." I begin before looking at the water in my glass on the dresser.
"I need a drink." I say, walking into the hall, completely avoiding the man standing in my room.

Sasuke's POV
I watch as she walks away, she's even more beautiful than I remember. Her porcelain legs have gotten longer and more toned and her stomach is flat and has a few marks adorning it, probably scars... Her face is unbelievable. She is honestly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.. Her light green eyes and light pink hair give her an innocent look that matches what Ino said about her still being a.. My throat clenches as my brain even tries to think of the word again. It's funny how before I was a total douche and now.. Now I can't imagine not knowing her. She's a picture of beauty in her own unique way, looking innocent but fierce at the same time.. Why the hell is she having this effect on me?
"Are you coming?" I hear from down the stairs. I quickly transport myself to the kitchen, not going unnoticed by her. Her eyes widen before she reaches for a kunai laying carelessly on the table.
"Are.. Are you a.. A-" She stutters trying to think of the word to describe what I'd have to be to be able to do this.
"A demon?" I finish her sentence, leaving her astonished but glaring nonetheless.
"Yeah.." She remarks, her finger tips gliding from the top of the blade down to the ring hold, not taking her eyes off of me.
"Yes, among others.." I glance briefly at her hand to watch her reaction. Although she used to be weak, her chakra was no where near what I'm sensing now. This fact alone makes me keep my guard up.
"Vampires don't belong in the city.. That's why you left? Your brother.. he.. So now you kill people? For no reason other than your own need!" She begins to raise her voice and fully grabs the kunai, prepared to slash at me. I react quickly and activate my eyes.
"You will forget that I have to kill people." I grumble out at having to say that to her. It's silly and cliché I know, but hey that's an issue people don't usually like to just gloss over.
"So what have you been doing all this time..?" She asks warily, setting down the small weapon before walking towards her wine cooler and pulling out a bottle. I watch as she cautiously moves to get a glass and pour herself a half a glass before mumbling something and pouring it to the brim instead.
Unless wine has gotten much more disgusting, that's not wine.. My senses tingle and my eyes begin to turn completely red, everything in my being telling me to attack.
"What is that?" I say, smelling the putrid liquid even more.
"An odd bottle of wine I got the other day as a gift from someone.." She responds before drinking some out of a glass she poured.
Wait.. That's the.. Fuck.
"Don't drink any more of that!" I yell, grabbing the bottle and trying to control myself from almost throwing it across the room. Even in my dazed state I can still process that that would not be a very welcome thing to do in her house.
"What are you doing?!" She yells back causing me to flinch at how her voice screeches.
"This isn't all wine." I explain before I feel her standing closer, looking over my shoulder with her barely clothes chest pressed against my arm as she looks at the bottle. I almost fall to my knees. Her sweet scent blocks out the bottle and leaves tingles throughout my mind. Without thinking I find myself almost leaning my face towards hers. Strange thing is, she's not moving away. Instead she's staring into my eyes as if waiting for instructions on what to do.

Sakura's POV
I almost drop to the ground at his thundering voice, and almost drop the glass bottle. I regain my composure though and question his yell, only to be met with obsidian eyes that seem to smolder me on the spot. I try to move but can't seem to feel my body at all..
Wait is he leaning towards me?
All I can do is stare at his lips and feel my heartbeat increase tenfold.
I mean to pull away, but I just can't find it in myself to even look away. It's like I can't control my actions...
"Sakura.." He whispers. That voice. That's the one from my dream! I strangely let him venture closer to my lips as I feel his hot breath grace my skin. He sets down the bottle on the table before setting his hand on my waist.
"Sakura.." He says once again as we get closer, barely letting there be a hair space between us.
I take in his strange scent as he is about to close the gap between us. He smells of rain and.. Pine.. It's intoxicating and I don't realize it until a couple seconds after that we are finally touching.
"Mmnmn.." I release a breath I didn't realize I was holding in.
The kiss is light, almost tender as I step closer and wrap my arms around his neck kind of reluctantly. I allow him to wrap his arms around my waist, bringing me closer and pressing us together. My tongue suddenly traces his bottom lip, teasing him almost.
"S-Sakura.."
"Don't stutter. You sound too much like my blonde idiot." I say, smiling against his lips as he does the same. Wait.. My blonde idiot.. My smile fades almost immediately..
He is pulling me flush against him as he begins another kiss that is harder than the first one. I try to force myself to pull away, thinking of Naruto and how wrong this really is, but my body won't move.
I don't know why my body is giving into him, I mean I haven't seen him in years and he shows up and takes away my wine.. Well I mean it's not like I don't have more, but still. I feel him slowly nip at my bottom lip before tracing his tongue along it. I somehow manage to regain my composure and pull away quickly.
"So care to explain the bottle that someone had to pay for?" I ask as I glance at the bottle that's been completely disregarded.
"It isn't wine... My brother and his foolish minions decided to send you a bottle of their.." He begins but oddly shies away before finishing his sentence.
"Their what?" I demand, glaring in his general direction with the way this night has gone.
"Their blood. Well it is mostly wine. Like 98% wine and 2% blood." He finally gets out, almost rubbing the back of his neck but he refrains.
"Oh so like drinking 2% milk. Great. What does that mean for me?" I say as I find another bottle in my cooler.
"If you had finished it all, you would almost be like me."
"Wait... Why are you here again?" I ask, finally registering everything. This guy comes back after eight years as a vampire and breaks into my apartment for some reason. Sasuke Uchiha is not the visiting type so there's got to be a reason.
"Well.. I uh.. Itachi and the Akatsuki group are.. They want you to.."
"If you don't spit it out soon I'm going to kick your sulking ass out of my house." I say, getting irritated at his stuttering. It feels like some sort of spell just wore off.. The eyes. He had me with his eyes. That bastard.
"The guys want you." He finally says, glaring at the wall behind me. I turn around and try to find the source of his anger.
"I see you've decided to get the girl before we had the chance to." A man with dark hair and red eyes says from the chair in the corner of the living room. It's too dark to see features but from the odd chakra I can assume..
"Itachi. Why are you here?" He seethes out before stepping around me. I glare in his direction before stepping beside him, I don't like people trying to fight for me when I can handle myself.
"What reason do I have for not claiming the blossom here." The man says before my assumptions are correct and I freeze a little more.
Itachi Uchiha. The famous missing killer. He murdered almost all of his clan, but he left his brother and mother. His other family consisted of over 15 people. After the bodies were found, he went missing and no one has seen him since. Even though he left the select few alive.. They were just empty shells.. They had nothing really left, the only thing keeping Sasuke alive was his mother and his decision to live his life in hate towards his brother.. As long as I tried I could never change him out of that and then one day he was just.. Gone.. He stayed out too late and was taken.. His mother seemed on the brink of death but the Hyuuga Clan took her in for some reason.. I think it was for possibly superficial reasons but it did help her, she's still living there today. Okay back to reality here..
I back up a few steps, only to back into someone. I quickly turn and am faced with a giant blue man. He looks like a shark, complete with black eyes and pointed facial features, including gill looking things by his nose. He's got to be at least seven feet in height, I have to look up to see his face which should be intimidating but I'm too focused on what the fuck is happening to even consider intimidation.

My eyes go wide and I back up into someone else, this time it's a blonde with blue eyes.. Who looks exactly like Ino... What the fuck? Wait.. No No No.
"What's wrong, dear brother? Expecting someone else?" Itachi says, standing up and walking towards the door way. The Ino imposter is staring at my chest and eyeing my figure, I almost growl before his blue eyes snap back to mine. Why was he even..

My face goes red as I realize that I'm topless except for a bra and only have my shortest shorts on.. Why? Because it was supposed to be hot and Naruto was possibly coming over later.. A girl has to present herself sometimes..
As I move to get out from between the two men I hit another body. I look up to see a redhead. A redhead I thought was dead.
A few years ago, when I was younger, our group was attacked and this guy decided to try and kill Naruto. I had grabbed the nearest thing, which happened to be a katana, and I Thought I had sliced through his torso. Key word now is thought. My breath hitches as I fully start realizing who they all are.. The Akatsuki. The most dangerous.. Creatures within.. Well anywhere. I focus my face back on the red headed demon before me, my eyes slit as I tighten my fist. His chestnut eyes watching my every move with amusement clearly evident in his expression. I feel my blood boil and my chakra start to collect in my fists.
"Surprised to see me, doll." Sasori says as he steps forward, causing me to take steps back, right into another freaking person. I turn quickly and come face to face with a silver haired man with violet eyes who has a sly grin on his face. Any other fucking people?!
"You're one hot bitch." He says looking at me hungrily.
"Excuse me?!" I yell before they all step closer, boxing me in. Before I can retort against this pig I focus on freaking out about all of them.. It's not the fact of being scared so much as the fact of being surrounded by bloodthirsty criminals while you're half naked.
"Leave me alone!" I scream as I turn around quickly, watching all of them. Their eyes all red. I begin to freak out, my breathing quickens and I feel lightheaded.
"I.." I take a deep intake of breath as my vision blurs. No.. No.. No please no don't faint...
"Just relax, yeah." The blonde man says looking into my eyes and taking my arm lightly.
"N-Naruto.." I say quietly, hoping he felt the surge I sent him through the floor.
My connection with the elements is one of the strongest in the village so I'm able to send vibes through the ground to other people. It's odd but hey I don't question it when it's pretty handy.
"Isn't that cute, she has a little boyfriend. But of course, not for long, yeah." The blonde guy says, reaching for my face. I try to tear my face away from his hand but I take another intake of breath and feel myself falling.

Sasuke's POV
I can't believe them. She never had a chance when they all surrounded her and enacted their eyes. She looked like she was restraining her terrified expression as she fainted into Sasori. Of course it was him. If she knew, she'd attempt to kill him again. We all saw the hatred in her eyes when she saw him..
"What is your problem?" Someone asks as I stalk towards them and her. She fainted with a pained expression. I walk to her and pick her up under her knees and shoulders.

"Hey leave the fucking shirt off seriously." Hidan remarks with a grin, earning a couple agreements but I just scoff.
"You are all pigs." I say before appearing in her room. I lay her gently on the bed. Her sheets are a lavender color with an odd stitched comforter sprawled out across part of the bed. Her room isn't very big, but it has a lot of... personality.. She has pictures of us hanging on her walls, along with pictures of her with Sai and the other two. His expression looks like me when I was younger. Emotionless. I never showed anything after the massacre of my family. Little did I know the full reason behind it. It's why I'm not As hostile towards my brother as I once was.
I walk towards her closet where I assume she has clothes hanging up. How wrong I am. She has a weapons shrine, along with shoes and... Blankets.. She's so odd.. But intriguing nonetheless.
"Hn." I walk back to the short, but stout, old dresser that her mother used to have before they went missing. None of us actually know what happened to them though. So it wasn't us.. They honestly just disappeared. Which isn't the better alternative here.. If you really think about it that means that they just up and left their 12 year old daughter to fend for herself... The dobe's family took her in though, until she was 18 and wanted to go out on her own.
I find a pair of sweatpants and an oversized shirt. A very oversized shirt. With the Uzumaki crest on it. I throw it to the ground and grab a small long sleeved shirt and gently slip her arms through and then the rest of her into the shirt. She's like a doll, fragile and close to breaking. I try to be as careful as I can hoping she won't wake up to me dressing her, but with how many of them used their eyes she may be out for a while.
"What are you doing? We were enjoying the view, yeah!" Deidara yells as the others stand at the threshold of the door. Unwilling or unable to enter the room, except for Sasori.. I smirk as I realize what she did. She put a seal on her room that prevents anyone that she hasn't physically touched from coming in. That would help with any intruders that weren't supposed to be here.
I make a low growling noise as the red haired puppet master nears us.

"Fuck off strings." I growl out as he eyes her, his fingers start to glow blue before I pick her back up and walk towards the window. There's suddenly loud banging at the front door.. and yelling. We all turn towards the noise and begin to disappear
"Sakura?! Are you okay?!" I hear the blonde haired dobe I used to train with, yelling from outside her front door. I roll my eyes as the others are gone, leaving me to walk back to our base with her. I don't mind in the least bit though, all of them are just ignorant and don't know how to treat her.
She's so beautiful.. Her hair has grown way past her shoulders and sways in the wind as I walk. Her expression has turned from pained to.. Relaxed. She slowly curls into my arms, causing me to pause and stare as her small hands work their way up and around my neck so she can rest her head on my shoulder. She almost glows as the moon illuminates her pale skin, giving her the appearance of a ghost almost.. Her dark lashes dust her pink tinted cheeks that lead down to her pink lips slightly stained from the wine she had been drinking earlier.
"N.. Naruto.." I hear her almost moan as I start walking again.
Of course the dobe would get her.. I should never have left to find Itachi. She tried to stop me, but I was too stubborn to care about what she had to say.. That's why one night I snuck back to erase the memory of me leaving and calling her annoying for crying. I replaced it with the memory of me just disappearing like her parents. Don't know of that's better or worse..
"S..S-" She starts to groan out before her eyes begin to flutter.
I freeze.

Sakura's POV
I had an odd dream. Like really odd. I dreamt that Sasuke showed up and then the whole Akatsuki group appeared in my house. Funny dream..
Why am I swaying? And not in my bed..
I begin to open my eyes and am faced with a dark shirt and pale skin.
"What.. What's going on?!" I begin to struggle as I feel arms tighten around me. I start pushing away until I fall to the ground. It's cold and covered in leaves. I'm in the forest surrounding the town of rain.
"Sakura, calm down! It just me!" A voice says from above me. It's.. Sasuke.. It wasn't a dream.
"Why.. Why am I not in my house?" I say looking around, but keeping him in my peripheral vision.
"I told you why.. They want you."
"So you kidnap me?!" I begin sending shocks through the ground through my hands.
"Naruto will find me. And so will Kakashi and don't get me started on Tsunade." I say as he begins to reach for me. I don't know why I feel threatened but something is up, my memories of everything surrounding him are foggy.
"Did.. Did you do something with my head?" I ask before putting my hands to my temples and pushing my chakra into the foggy parts.
Words flash through my eyes.
Death. Disappearing. Blood. Killer. Akatsuki.
"You're.. You kill people." I say blankly as I stare into the sky.
"We can discuss everything once we get to the base, the sun is going to be up within the hour." He says before taking one of my hands.
I feel instant relief course through my body, but I fight it. This is how they can get people away from others. They feel unthreatened and do anything they are asked. That makes sense with all the missing person cases, it's mainly young or middle aged women, which would be easier to lure away than a grown man.
"I.. I don't want to go with you." I finally get out even after my body protests about it.
"But what about.. You don't have a choice here." He says before turning cold and grabbing my arms. He throws me over his shoulder as I start to struggle until I look at the trees flying by.. It's beautiful.. They all look like one of those old oil paintings where nothing is definite and it's all blurred together. It looks so unbelievably beautiful that I don't even realize the arms holding me to a firm body. Before I know it, we stop at a large.. Building? It looks like it could be anything from a house to a workers mill.
"I'm supposed to take your chakra away so you can't leave." He says stoically as I look around us absentmindedly.
"I.. I don't want to disappear." I say looking back at the building and remembering the new addition to my hospital. Tsunade just had it added for me..
"The new ward!.. I'm not.." I say quietly to myself as I realize what's happening. I'm never going to see the new children's ward that I worked so hard to get passed by the committee. I'll never see Tsunade again either.. My own grandmother or mother better yet, she always looked after me when I was a child and even as I grew up. I feel my face drop and I fight back tears thinking about losing all of the people I care for.. Ino and Kiba's wedding.. I won't get to see any of my friends get married.. But I can fight.
"I.." I hear him start before a loud banging comes from inside the building.
"She's here! The beautiful lady is here! Tobi wants to see her!" Screaming starts erupting from the doorway of the place.
"Get inside! You'll scare her away! Yeah!"
"Fucking dumbass."
"Stop!"
Suddenly a figure runs from beside the house. Headed directly for me.
"Stop him! He's gonna kill her!" The shark man from before yells as the group runs after him.
I let out a strangled scream as the guy almost clobbers me, but I'm pulled up just in time to escape him. I stand completely still as I register what just happened.
"Holy fuck. Tobi! You almost killed her!" The grey haired man yells as they start to run to where I'm at. The guy that caused all of the noise and everything is a decent height with an orange mask covering his face, he's wearing a black t shirt and black pants that stop at the ankle. His black hair is spiked over the mask and he looks like a grown man just acting like a child, he gives off an odd aura.. This is Tobi?
I finally glance down from the tree I'm standing in, but Sasuke is standing there glaring at a spot behind me.
"Wha-.." I turn around and find myself in Itachi Uchiha's arms. His face is blank but his dark eyes are gleaming with some sort of emotion..
"I.. You.. He.. Me.." I stutter before feeling his arms push me away. I almost squeal as he just drops me from the branch, but turn brace myself for the fall. Instead of hitting the ground, blue arms wrap around me before my feet can even touch the ground.
"Asshole.." Someone grumbles from behind me.
I'm just in shock at this point. First I'm kidnapped, then some random kid tries to clobber me to death, and then I'm pushed from a tree. The hell is up with my day?!
"Tobi wants to meet the pretty lady!" The guy from before begins to whine as I'm held in place, midway between the ground and the tree branch. The arms around me belonging to the shark man, the very muscular man... No not even starting that.
"I.. What in the hell is going on?!" I demand as I'm set down gently. Everyone stares at me as I look around at them and remember everything. My feet begin to hurt as I realize I'm shoeless and standing in the sharpest bed of roots I've ever stood on. I step down onto something soft.. Of course I stepped on someone's feet.
"S-sorry." I apologize quickly and step away onto more roots causing more pain than before. Wait why the hell am I apologizing they are the ones who took my shoes in the first place!
"Where are my shoes?!" I yell before I'm picked up again.
"Inside." An orange haired man with piercings says as he watches the arms that pick me up like a child. I don't even bother to look at the shark man I know is holding me again. I smell the slightest hint of fish, it's not terrible which isn't a good thing. I need to hate these men. They kill people and don't even care.. But why would he.. Oh never mind.
"I.. Don't understand." I say as he begins walking towards the house, followed closely by the others. The door way is hidden slightly under an overhanging porch like thing, causing a shadow to reach out a few yards, it's almost ominous looking if it wasn't for the weird looking... Mailbox? No not a mailbox it's more of a bin with scribbles on it.
"So she's the girl everyone is crazy over?" A blue haired woman says as we walk into what I assume is a living room. It's dim and a little too man-cavey for me. There are a couple dark colored couches and a pool table in the far corner, there's a big flat screen against the wall to my left with movies in a bookshelf type thing under it and... Video games? Skilled assassins have a PlayStation... I allow my eyes to look through the rest of the room. There's a lamp and an arm chair in the corner past the tv and then a full sized book case with hundreds of books. After the book case is a small side table and then a door way leading into a dimly lit hallway then another hallway to the right of this doorway, it's under the stairs leading up into blackness.
"I can see why." She adds to her previous statement as I'm finally set down onto the soft dark colored rug spread across the floor.
"Come on! Go find your own girl! She's into guys!" Someone yells as the woman eyes my figure. I feel my face turn red as she pauses at my chest that's slightly showing too much cleavage. That's why I never wear this shirt in certain situations, it's too revealing.
I wrap my arms around my chest after I pull up my shirt. The woman still stares at me through toffee colored eyes and bluish purple hair. Her figure is somewhat hidden under the large black cloak with red clouds on it, I can tell she's barefoot and wearing what seems to be leggings. This is Konan.

"You're fucking hot. I'm Hidan." The silver haired man says as he looks me over hungrily. I just roll my eyes, I've dealt with this kind before; overly cocky with inflated pride.

"That's great I so wanted to know." I huff out sarcastically before he goes to grab my ass causing me to spin around and deck him square in the jaw. I smirk happily, satisfied after hearing a pop. That is until I hear him groan out like he enjoyed it causing me to scowl at the man now reaching for my leg, he moves his hand up to pop his jaw somehow without a medics help and stands up looking even more intrigued. Fuck my life. I deliver a swift kick to his ribs hearing a crunch even with no shoes on. He falls back, smiling the whole way.

"Stop fucking smiling!" I yell before chucking the nearest thing which happened to be a tan colored lamp at him. I successfully hit the part of him I was hoping for causing him to groan even louder but still in pain as any guy would be if they got a lamp to the crotch.

"That was so fucking funny!" The blonde one, Deidara I think, says as he is almost rolling on the ground from laughing so hard.

"Heh at least it shut him up for once." Kisame, the shark man, says smirking at me almost admiring my work of turning Hidan into a fucking toy.

"The lamp! What the fuck we have to pay for that! Who the fuck is she?!" A man with old newspaper looking skin yells as he walks in eyeing the lamp them glaring at me. He's got green eyes and dark hair.. Kakuzu I think.

"Who the fuck are you?!" I yell back brazenly as he looks like he could kill me.

"Oh shit here we go about finances again.."

"I am the financier of this fine establishment and you little bug just destroyed something we will have to waste money on! I should eat you!" He growls out which would've been intimidating had he not been looking at the lamp longingly.

"Oh fuck off!" I yell causing him to start stalking towards me only to be cut off by Kisame stepping in front of me and glaring, almost growling at the other man.

"Hey! Shut up! It's just a lamp but no more smashing stuff around here to keep the peace. Konan would you please.." Pein, their orange haired leader if I remember correctly says pinching the bridge of his pierced nose.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to them soon enough, but for now I'm gonna get you a shirt that doesn't distract everyone so much. I'm Konan, by the way." Said woman says, grabbing my arm and taking off down into the dark hallway under the stairs.
Okay I hate the dark. Like nothing in this wide world scares me more. I'd rather be stuck in a burning room then in a pitch black room.
"Lights!" I squeak as we walk further into the dark nothingness that's threatening to swallow me whole.
"Oh! Sorry! I've gotten so used to it.. Here we go!" She says as the lights along the walls click on. I relax a bit and continue walking through the wood paneled hallway. I start contemplating running out the window at the far end but I feel it would be completely useless due to the group of vampires within this place. It's not that I'm scared believe me I'd beat some ass if given the chance, but I know when I'm outmatched and the whole Akatsuki? Way above my level. I'll just try to beat who I can and go from there..
"So.. I should turn all the lights on around here huh?" Konan says as we walk up a few stairs. At least she's trying to be nice to me compared to the others.. I've had my fair share of men trying to get in my pants but those guys.. whole new level.
"Uh yeah.. I can't handle the dark too well." I say quietly before we stop in front of a light oak door with cherry blossom designs carved into it.
"Wha.."
"They've all been Extremely excited since they decided to snatch you.. Which I guess is understandable, but they're all a bunch of creeps if you ask me.. That's why I'm cool both ways." Who'd have thought they planned taking me so far that they carved a door.. Someone has a bit too much time on their hands.. I bet it was the blonde he looks very... flamboyant. I laugh to myself a little as she reaches for the handle.
I gasp loudly as she opens the door, revealing a light purple room that looks exactly like mine.. Except for my pictures.. The bed is on the far right wall next to the bathroom, there's my dresser next to the door we walked in and a closet on the wall across from my bed to the left of us. I see two outlines of windows on the far wall but they're covered by dark curtains. I look over to the bedside table to find my stupid radio and half broken lamp.
"Is this.. How?!"
"We're supernatural beings with teleportation abilities. We can do anything. Even move furniture from one house to another." I walk in hurriedly and look in my dresser, hoping to find a shirt I had in there before. Naruto's shirt.
"Not all of my clothes are here." I comment as I glance around quickly looking for the shirt. If I find it, I can send a message to him through it. It's weird but it works.
"Sasuke was the one who dealt with most of it, so I don't know." She says leaning in the doorway. Oh course that asshole would be the one to handle my things.. I know he's not physically an asshole but I sure damn could've mistaken his personality for one.
"You do have a nice choice of underwear though." Konan laughs and winks at me but I'm too focused on finding anything that I can that Naruto would've held or anything.. But there's nothing. I look around a bit dumbfounded at this whole thing.. At least the room is nice.. Right?

How will Sakura deal with this new situation? Stay tuned for more installments, Also if anyone would like to post their favorite Sakura pairing, I'm going to do a couple different endings and then a final couple if I can get a few ideas of who to put her with.

It will mainly be from this selection- NaruSaku, SasuSaku, KakaSaku, KisaSaku, DeiSaku, ItaSaku, HidaSaku
