Author's Note: Hello everyone! I have another account on fanfiction, but I decided to make a new one, and be fresh. It's been awhile since I've written anything, so please, don't be too hard. ^_^; So yes. There's more information on my profile if you want to know more about me. (:

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and the first chapter of my story!

Oh, and just to let you know, if certain sentences are italicized, it means it's Sakura's thoughts, not her really talking.

Please review after! (: Critiques (Not flames, please), comments, anything!

Sakura's World

Chapter 1: Gone

Sakura's eyes opened slowly. She got up from her bed and stretched. She looked around her room, and saw everything where it was supposed to be. Her wooden desk with several medical books piled up on each other, and her red computer chair, along with her mirror stand on the side. Her dresser on the other side of the room, and her window with closed red curtains.

Sakura knew her room was plain, and boring. She didn't really care much, since she was on missions most of the time. Sakura walked slowly to her bathroom, and brushed her teeth. Once she splashed her face with water, she became wide awake. Sakura then wiped her face with a pink towel from her rack and put it in the hamper.

"Hm. What to do today…maybe Tsunade-sama might give me a mission or something. Or maybe help Shizune-chan at the hospital."

Sakura walked to her dresser and took out her usual clothes. Her red top, gray thigh leggings, pink shorts. After she was done dressing, she wrapped her bandages and placed her kunai pouch around it. Then she slipped on her thigh high sandals and tied her hidden leaf headband. Then she secured her black gloves on her hands.

Once Sakura was done dressing, she realized something.

"…Why is it so quiet? What time is it…?"

Sakura looked at her desk where her digital clock was. It wasn't there.

"…What the hell? Has someone been in my room? I haven't moved anything in my room for months."

Sakura knew it couldn't have been her parents. Her parents were on a long term mission and they've left Sakura ever since she was ten. She didn't know when she'd ever see them again, and doesn't really bother to ask Tsunade when they're coming back, because Sakura doesn't really mind taking care of herself.

"I only have a spare key for myself…I don't let anyone in here…What the hell?"

Sakura opened her curtains. Her eyes widened.

No one was outside.

"Wait, where are the villagers? Did I miss something I was supposed to know about? Where is everyone?"

Sakura became worried. She exited her apartment and locked it. Sakura began to walk all over the village, and still, she had not seen anyone.

Sakura hated to invade the privacy of other people, but she had no choice. She started walking into people's houses, and still, no one. Sakura walked to Ichiraku's to see if Naruto was there, but he was not. Teuchi and Ayame weren't there also.

It was like the leaf village had been deserted. Sakura was, in fact, by herself.

"What do I do now…? I'm confused."

Sakura was deep in thought, until she saw something from the corner of her eye. Sakura immediately ran to follow the mysterious figure.

It was going fast, but Sakura was determined to keep up with it. All of sudden, the mysterious figure ran into an alleyway. Sakura stopped, and walked slowly into the alley. While walking, Sakura took out a kunai from her pouch.

"…Sakura."

Sakura stopped walking. She knew that voice. She could spot it anywhere. She definitely knew, it was him.

"…Sakura."

"COME OUT! WHERE ARE YOU?" Sakura shouted.

"…Don't be so loud, Sakura."

"I SAID COME OUT. TELL ME WHY EVERYONE IS GONE." Sakura shouted once again.

"Hmph."

The dark figure walked out of the shadow he was concealed in.

It was really him. Sakura couldn't believe it.

It was the one and only, Sasuke Uchiha.

Sorry it was so short! I'm just testing this to see how it would go. Please tell me what you think, and if I should continue this or not!

Thank you for reading,
