Eh!!!!!! I need to update other stories but I promised to start the sequel and have it out TODAY!!!
First things first, yesterday was the band trip and something happened that I never thought would happen.
I kissed a guy. On the cheek but still!
To not make this an amazingly long AN, I'll just start the story and not bother telling you the kiss story.
Somehow I have a feeling that if Caitlin reads this I'm going to have some explaining to do…
XD
Now for the Long awaited sequel!
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto, never have, never will.

Sakura's POV
"Okay, I can understand Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade all following me to college, but you guys?!" I asked my not-so former teachers with shock on my face. Standing before me stood, Gai, Kakashi, Anko and even Kabuto (who had recently graduated and managed to get the job of being a science professor).
Naruto stood beside me, just as shocked as I was, he even dropped my luggage. Anko gave us a smile and looked at me, "Well, of course we'd come up here at the new dean's request! You don't think we'd leave you vulnerable for vampires to come take you away, do you? Besides, the pay here is better."
I gave an exasperated sigh and grabbed my luggage off the floor where Naruto had dropped it; they still thought I was a weakling! Stomping off towards the girl's dorms, I must have surprised many students who had heard the choice words I was muttering to myself. It was just like having a sister and three brothers at college with me.
Now it may sound strange for you to hear this talk about vampires but I found out about the whole story when I was a sophomore in high school after the incident where I lost my memory. I saw the diary and learned the rest from Tsunade, about the Council of Three, how I was to be hunted when I graduated from High School, what people were demons at our school and who knew about everything even if they were humans.
Let's just say it was the shock of my life and I had to see Naruto in his demon form to believe it.
Afterwards, I learned why Tsunade was on the Council of Three even though she was just a mere human, I learned that Orochimaru was a demon hunter (just the bad ones though), and that Jiraiya was a dog demon. That's also when I received 'training' from Tsunade and that's also when I started to have the small feeling that everybody was keeping something from me.
Something important.
Like, who the Hell sent me red roses every Valentines day and sent me pricy presents on other holidays and my birthday that I knew none of my friends could ever possibly afford? That, and who sent me a panda necklace? The tag didn't say who it was from; it just said it wasn't from the bastard who sent me the other gifts.
Naruto and the others avoided my questions like they were the flu, and I just had a feeling it wasn't them anyways.
I looked down to my black leather gloves that were on my hands, Tsunade had given me on my graduation day. They probably sound like a crappy graduation gift, but truth be told, they were perfect. They each had a silver cross embroidered onto the back, and they were made especially for my kind of battling.
Yes, I know it sounds weird that I know how to fight.
Surprisingly, I turned out to be a magic user, and shocking Tsunade, I could use two types of magic; healing and water. These gloves could intensify the magic and make them more effective towards vampires.
Basically I can kick vampire butt.
Surprising, huh, little weak me can use magic and I can use some weapons pretty well too. Unfortunately, I can't use two of Tsunade's types of her magic just yet; her super strength and her Creation Rebirth ability. That's why I'm still under her tutelage and that's why she did everything in her power to become the dean of Hitoshizuku College so she could continue my training.
As I walked, I cursed my shortness mentally (inner Sakura had finally become a true part of me so I was a bit more bold), for I couldn't see over these boxes worth anything. Then, as cliché as it was, I ran into somebody, all my luggage flying out of my arms as we both fell down, into a rather awkward position to say the least. The man I had crashed into was on the bottom and I was sprawled out on top of him!
"Oh! Sorry!" I exclaimed as I scrambled off of him with my cheeks flushed a dark red. He got up and looked at me, and I realized that he was unbelievably hot. He had dark onyx eyes, long black hair tied back, and his body… wow.
He calmly stood up and helped me gather my luggage, I tried not to stare at him, but my girly side had a mind of its own and I couldn't help but ogle him. What freaked me out though, was his eerie silence. Seriously, he had not said a single word.
As he handed me the last of my luggage I gave him a sheepish smile, "Um, my name's Haruno Sakura! Thanks for helping me gather my stuff...?" I told him, but looked at him with questioning eyes, wanting him to give me his name.
"Itachi is my name, cherry blossom."
'Cherry blossom?' I thought to myself as I studied the man before me. Nobody had ever called me 'cherry blossom' before, even if my name meant it. Suddenly, a man (well I think he was one), walked up to him and whispered something in his ear before Itachi looked back to me.
"…Ah." Was Itachi's reply to the blondie before he swiftly turned around and walked away, leaving me oh so very confused. After all, who left without giving a polite 'goodbye'?
With a sigh, I continued walking to my dorm, thoughts of quiet man I had just encountered bouncing around in my head.

Sasuke's POV
"Now, I'm not going to try to prevent either of you from biting her, but just be warned, she has gotten strong." The amber-eyed woman warned Gaara and I. He looked like he was trying not to roll his eyes, for it did sound absurd, Sakura… strong? That was just crazy. We stared at the human for a moment and when she realized we weren't going to say anything, she continued, "Anyways, here's your dorm number, it's a nice room and I'm sure you both have missed Naruto."
That's when our stares turned into glares, although both of us could probably still call Naruto a 'best friend' having to live with him? What if-
"Oh, he's over his Batman obsession now."
Thank God.
Afterwards, she rambled on about the procedures there and how no students were to be killed by our feedings before she let us go to our dorm. An hour later, I found out that having a Batman freak was much better than a Spiderman freak.
"Sasuke-teme, I swear, the first movie is so much better than the second and third movies! It's when he becomes Spiderman!" Naruto exclaimed, being past the whole me-wanting-to-suck-Sakura's-blood thing after the thirty minutes or so.
Gaara rolled his eyes at Naruto's antics, ripping down another Spiderman poster Naruto had put up, the walls of the dorm room being covered with them. I had been tuning him out, something bugging me the whole time. After another minute, the words tumbled out of my mouth, "Naruto, where's Sakura?"

Sakura's POV
"Hinata! Ino!" I squealed, hugging my two friends. We had all made it into the college, but we didn't think we'd share the same dorm room! After a happy reunion and some unpacking, my cell phone started to go off.
I picked it up and pressed the talk button, "Hello?"
"Sakura-chan! Can you come to my dorm? I want you to meet some of my friends!" Naruto's loud voice boomed over the phone, so loud I had to hold it away from my ear.
"Naruto, girls aren't allowed in the boy's dorm." I told him with a sigh and there was a slight pause as he said something to his friends.
"What about the fountain?"
"Naruto? Why do I need to meet your friends so badly?" I asked, worrying that he was trying to set me up with another guy.
"What? Sorry, I'm losing signal! Meet you in five minutes!" Naruto yelled, throwing in fake static noises before hanging up. I looked to Hinata and Ino and gave them a goodbye before heading to the fountain.

Sasuke's POV
Do you know how some girls who were once pretty get ugly as they get older?
Sakura isn't one of them.
She had grown her pink hair out so that it reached the mid-section of her back, her emerald eyes held more fire in them, she had filled out nicely, her skin was pale and smooth, and her whole appearance was just… wow. She walked up to the fountain with a gracefulness that she had never had when I saw her Sophomore year and that's when I noticed something.
Well two things.
She was wearing the necklace Gaara had sent her.
The gloves she was wearing had crosses on them and I could sense the magic on them before she even walked out of the building. Actually, I sensed magic all around her, but a lot of it was around her hands.
Maybe Tsunade was on to something earlier with Sakura's new powers.
She saw Naruto and gave him a smile and wave before walking up to us and looking at Gaara and I with interest, "Hey Naruto!"
Her eyes traveled over to mine and she gave me a bright smile, "I'm Haruno Sakura! What are your names?" she asked Gaara and I cheerfully.
She didn't remember either of us at all.
"Sabaku no Gaara." Gaara answered first, coming out of the shock of seeing her again before I did. Her eyes looked to him for a moment before they turned their gaze back to me with interest.
"Uchiha Sasuke." I answered numbly and she looked to Naruto before laughing.
Was it me or was she more… open than the last time I saw her?
"Sorry, I just think it's funny that Naruto made friends with you two, both of you being so… calm and all! Then again he's pretty much always been friends with Neji!" she explained to us and we just stared at her before Naruto leaned over to me and whispered.
"She kind of says whatever she wants to now, like some inner demon unleashed itself or whatever."
"Naruto… what did you just say to Sasuke-san?" she asked, her eyes flashing with anger for an instant. I nearly winced, Sasuke-san? It was worse than 'Duck Ass'. Naruto gave Sakura a sheepish smile and a nervous laugh while he came up with something to say to her.
"I just said that you looked really cute in the outfit you were wearing today, Sakura-chan!" he said, but that was the wrong thing apparently.
"Naruto… do not ogle other girls, especially me, when you are Hinata's boyfriend.
" Sakura lectured her friend with a playful punch. Apparently she had become more tolerant of him while I had been gone. She looked back to me before speaking again, "Sasuke-san, you look familiar-"
'Could it be?'
"-Wait, just my imagination, you just look like somebody I know, actually two people!"
'Who do I look like?'
"You look a lot like Sai-kun and-" she continued before her cell phone started to ring and her hand flew down to it and she looked at the caller ID, "… Hello? Sai-kun? You found a sushi place? Awesome! Where is it at? Oh you'll pick me up in my dorm's lobby? Okay! Thanks! See you in ten! Oh and STOP CALLING ME UGLY!"
She closed the phone and looked at Naruto before telling us a goodbye and running off with incredible speed. I turned to the fox demon with a frown on my face, "Who the Hell is 'Sai-kun?'"
