Road to Sakura Uchiha

Welcome, all. This is my very first fanfiction so please excuse any spelling mistakes or any type of wrong information (but please be sure to write them in the comments). Flames and reviews are very welcome also.
Now for all you Naruto lovers, NaruHina and SasuSaku are confirmed (yaaaaay) and even though I like the former much more than the latter, I am going to be writing a fanfic about it! They have the absolute cutest children ever! This fanfic was inspired by this other fanfic called 'Road to Hinata Uzumaki' by TheCupIsMightierThanTheSword. So in retrospect, I guess this fanfic is dedicated to her. (Please update! It started off as a great fanfic that needs to be continued!)
I don't know if this fanfic will contain romance but it will indefinitely contain NaruHina and maybe some other pairings.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Naruto franchise in any way. The only thing I own is my OC and maybe the plot (maybe).

also I've changed most of this first paragraph... don't kill me *hides behind a rock*

I woke up to a faint smell of strawberries and peppermint.
I snuggled deeper into the pillows of my bed. Mmmm, strawberries and peppermint. My favour- Wait. Since when did my room smell of anything other than my mothers vanilla air freshener?

I opened my eyelids, slowly, painfully. It was very dark. Then I remembered. The mission given to me by my shisho (or lady Tsunade in my case) had taken everything from me. it was the first time that she had trusted me with a mission that was away from her care . it was also the first time I had gone out of the village since Naruto's leaving from the leaf village. I was 14 now, and Naruto would be coming back in 2 years. I needed to get stronger, for Sasuke and for Naruto.

I knew that I had fainted somewhere while Lee was taking me from the village gates to the hospital. while coming back from the mission, I had been attacked by a very large group of bandits that were looking to take the extra money earned from MY mission. while I had defeated them, the problem was that that they had a highly concentrated poison (that they shouldn't have gotten anyway) that I hadn't been able to get out of her system quick enough. This was in fact very bad. I hadn't gotten far enough in my studies to take out poison from my system without doing it slowly. so I had limped and dragged my feet through the many paths in the fire country to get to Konoha.

when I had finally reached within a few meters of the huge red wall, lee and his team were getting ready to go to a mission. it took all of my will power and strength to shout my self hoarse before lee's head had snapped in my direction. and even when he reached me within a few seconds, I was already seeing purple spots in my eyes and only just about felt strong arms wrap around me before I felt darkness over take me

Right now, I should have been at the hospital. then again I must have stayed asleep for days as it took a week for the after effects of the poison to ware off. they might have moved me back home as the hospital becoming quite busy these past few days. At least I'm at home now though, it could have been way worse. I could have died- I stilled as a strong arm (That was most definitely not my pillow) wrapped around my waist bringing me to them in a death-like grip.

My eyes widened almost comically as the person behind me gave a soft snore. I was brain dead for more than a few minutes before I realized that I needed to get out. For all I know the person behind me could be a kidnapper (even if it was unlikely that I could have been taken from the hospital. but maybe the bandits wanted me instead). Inch by Inch, I moved the hand away from me slowly, making sure to not wake my potential kidnapper up.

In what seemed like ages the man with-the-strong-grip let go, rolling on to the other side of the bed. It took me another few precious minutes to calm myself down so that I was sure that I or the man with-the-strong-grip couldn't hear the wild and loud beating of my heart. I checked underneath the covers of the bed pleased to find that I did have clothes on but they were pyjamas. Did he change me?! I didn't dare look at the man, instead choosing to roll away from him and take the covers off of me as noiselessly as I could.

As soon as I stepped out of the bedroom I realized that this was indeed not my home. From the room it opened out into a hall that had two other rooms other than the one that I was in front of and in the middle of it there were some stairs that lead to first floor of the house.
If this was someone else's house (or maybe a prison disguised as a house), then there was no reason for me to stay. I just need to find my shoes and weapon pouch and get out of here.

When I made myself downstairs soundlessly (thank goodness), I was in what looked like a spacious living room. There was a door less wall that looked like it lead to the front room and 3 other doors were beside it. To be honest, the house itself looked like an immaculate family house. Dear god. I hope the guy-with-the-strong-grip wasn't keeping me captive in a house with children. I knew if I escaped on my own I would feel guilty about it later.
The windows were drawn, but I could still see a sliver of silver light coming from the outside. I opened the door on my far right and I realized that I pushed it open too hard when it gave a loud, ear screeching creek. I went inside and closed it just as quickly as I came in as I didn't need it making any more noise than it already had. That door really needs to get oiled and quick.

With a start I realized that this was the kitchen. It was immaculate, just like the rest of the house (no surprise there) and the knife holders held a scary amount of knives and with a resolve I didn't think I had I took a particularly sharp one and held it in my hand (it was better to be safe than sorry). It felt cold against the warmth of my hands and I already felt just a little bit safer and stronger than before. That is, before someone came in.

"Hey, Sakura. What are you doing?"
…Sakura…? since when did this man know my name
I turned around, heart beating a mile a minute.

"Listen here, buddy. I don't know who you are but I need to go home now before I do anything drastic. I've got a mission report to deliver tomorrow which is really important, with my shisho being the hokag-". I trailed off from my nervous babbling when I finally got a look at who I was actually talking to. I mean really, he was hot. No wonder I had gone to his house when I had and really, who wouldn't? He had gorgeous black hair that hung over one eye and his eye, my god, it as the nicest shade of onyx I had ever seen. To top it off he had the most adorable confused face ever! he looked like a hair-tamed older version of Sasuke-kun
I must have stayed gaping at his beautiful face for a while because he suddenly had this infuriatingly cute smirk (just like Sasuke-kun) on his face as he made his way towards me.

"So you want to play it that way huh?"
This is when I finally got out of my stupor. The knife was cold against my back as I tried to inch away from him. Dead end. He was closer now, too close. He carried on talking.
"But don't you think we should have waited until Sarada went to school?" he said with a low growl.
…Sarada…?
I was panicking now. Get away, use the knife. HIT HIM GODDAMMIT-

With a confidence and sense of agility and skill I didn't think I had, I threw the kitchen knife at him where it skimmed his ear and safely embedded the wall behind him. I was shocked. No, shocked was an understatement. I felt like I was strong for once. He seemed shocked too. And that was when the dam broke.
"Please STAY AWAY from me" I yelled. He was watching me with calculating eyes( which was now creepily like sasuke's was). "O-or I-I'll… I'LL DO THIS" And before I could even tell what was happening, I raised my fist, a blue glow surrounding it. I had seen Tsunade-sama do this enough but she hadn't gotten around to teaching It to me. I was going punch him,with the intent to kill- no, hit him.
"SHANNARO!-"
As I looked into his eye, I saw something that shook me to the core. It was his eye. eyes that I thought that I would never see again in a long time. It was red with the familiar three commas- No, tomoe's that swirled hypnotizing, in its deep scarlet pools. I couldn't even scream as everything became dizzyingly dark. And I happily welcomed it. Everything was getting too much for me to handle.

Woohoo. I finished the VERY FIRST chapter of my VERY FIRST fan fiction. Thanks to y'all that read this fan fiction. I know that this first chapter was a little short (okay, maybe a lot), but it needs to be as in the next chapter in will be a bit confusing. Also this fanfic is a little AU because if some of you know, Sasuke doesn't come back for a few years at a time (and 'Sakura' will be changing a few things...). But over here he comes at the VERY least every year. Chapters will be updated every Fridays and/or every Wednesdays (depends on the comments and moi).
QUESTION: Would you like this to be a SasuOC? (Because really, I don't think it would work) It's your choice, I guess.
Remember, reviews and flames galore. - Cuz' I really need it.

hello, this is future me, just realised that I wrote 'road to saura uzumaki' rather than 'road to sakura Uchiha' sorry for the confusion guys... please don't kill me. also, the next chapter will be dedicated to sexyblossom08 , Hanmac and Nutella Love for being my first reviewers. the next chapter is dedicated to YOU. thank you for reading this fic!
