Chapter 1: Sakura Haruno and her Mishaps.

We were friends once, not too long ago to be exact. Six months ago we were fine. I was sitting on your porch drinking out of your lemonade bottle while you texted away,I'm pretty sure you were talking to your girlfriend,your ex now, and I was just sitting there watching you. I did that a lot actually. Even when I didn't notice, I'm pretty sure you did though, you ignored it like you always did. I was obvious, but you were obviously in love, and it was obviously killing me.

Neither one of us did anything to fix it.

"Hey Sakura, you listening?" Ino asked me.

We were sitting outside near the cafeteria, it was our first day back from summer vacation, and I have yet to see you. Which is odd because your not hard to miss.

You were avoiding me ,and I for one couldn't blame you. It just pissed me off that you were that much of a coward.

"No, what did you say?"

Ino sighed loudly,"Nothing, never mind." She said and went back to filing her nails.

I sigh,and started to gather up my books.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to put theses in my locker, I'll be right back. " I said as I swung my book pack over my shoulder, and took my leave.

The corridors were crowded with students gossiping about what they've done over the summer break,and the lastest relationship in the celebrity world.

You weren't one for celebrities, you never praise anyone who just open their mouth and rehearse some lines. I like that about you. One of the weird qualities that no one else knew about you.

It was when I had turned the corner so caught up on the world of you that I hadn't seen him. I'm not sure who bumped into who, but he was left standing while I sat flat on my behind.

"Oh crap! Hey are you alright?"

He seemed so concern.

I sighed heavily and mutter," Yeah I'm fine."

He extended his sun kissed tone hand out to me, I took his hand,and he pulled me up like I was a feather. I had to clutch his hand to steady myself once I was up.

"You sure you're okay?"

I dusted off my pleated skirt and nodded, " Yep, no broken bones, perfectly fine." I assured him .

He nodded and bent down to pick up my fallen books, " That's good."

"You're new here?" I asked him as I took my books from his hands.

"I just got here two weeks ago, I'm Naruto by the way." He smiled down at me. It was bright,too bright.

"Sakura." I mumbled back.

His smile seemed to brighten, if that was possible. I tried to smile back, but it seemed dry.

"Well I should go,I need to find this class, see you around, yeah?"

I'm not sure if that was a question or if it was part of his goodbye.

"Yeah." I mumbled back.

It wasn't until he made his leave did I see what he wore, he wore a orange and black jumpsuit, it was bright, too bright.

I'm pretty sure you were skipping the first day of school when I hadn't seen you at lunch. I was sitting with our group of friends. They all asked about you, well Ino and Kiba did, I don't think the rest noticed, or maybe they didn't care. But it felt empty without you sitting next to me, although you didn't talk, your presence was enough.

"Hey, Sakura? You okay?"

I was staring again.
I nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine, I just don't have an appetite, excuse me."

I'm not sure if you were the cause of this because you were on my mind so heavily that I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings or maybe I was just having bad luck, everything just seemed to run in slow motion.

I had grabbed my food tray, ready to dump the full items in the trash, not on this persons shirt.

"Oh my...I am so so sorry." I pleaded as I grabbed a brown paper napkin from the dispenser. I whipped at the large multi colored stain and berated myself for getting fries with mayo and extra ketchup.

"Hey, it's fine."

I looked up and there he stood, Naruto, I think he said his name was.

He grabbed the napkin from my hands and began to whip at his own shirt. He still had on this big smile. I raised an eyebrow at his upbeat attitude. How could he still have on this big smile after I just dumped my lunch all over his shirt.

"I think I still have a tide to go pen in my locker." I mention to him as he stopped trying to get rid of the stain.

He smiled slightly, and I lead him out of the cafeteria.

I peeked around the corner to make sure there weren't any hall monitors lurking through the principle had strict rules about being where you're suppose to be. He didn't allow free roaming in the halls. If you were suppose to be in Physical Education, than thats where you were suppose to be kicking a ball or running the mile not lurking the halls. Same goes for lunch, and every other activity and classroom. They gave out months detention for lurking the halls. It was unnecessary, but I was not the principal,and this wasn't my school to run.

I sighed in relief when I didn't see a white slash. "This way." I said as I gesture for him to follow me.

"Were not really allowed out here." I explained to him as we near my locker, if I hadn't felt his presence behind me, I would have thought I was talking to myself. For a strong man he had silent footsteps.

I open up my locker and pulled out the Tide To Go pen and handed to Naruto.

"I'm really sorry about that, I hope it comes out, I can pay for dry cleaning." I said as reach inside my locker to pull out my purse,

"It's fine, no worries I have plenty of shirts." He smiled.

"I know-ahh!~"

Naruto grabbed onto my wrist,and pulled me into an adjacent empty room, which happened to be a supply closet.

"Hey! I said I was sorry but I'm not about to-" He put his hand over my mouth and told me to hush.

I glared at him, who was he to tell me to hush.

Then I heard heels clicking down the hallway, coming closer to us, and then passing us, until I couldn't hear them anymore.

I looked up at Naruto, and my eyes widen. How had he heard those footsteps. I hadn't heard them at all,and I was standing right next to him.

"How-"

"-That was close, huh?" He said sheepishly, he rubbed the back of his head.

I nodded mutely.

"Well um, thanks again for the cleaning pen." He placed the Tide To Go pen in the palm of my hand. "It was nice meeting you, I should get back." He said ,and let the supply closet.

"Hey-" I said as I left the supply closet right after him,but he was gone.

I pulled into driveway,and turned off my car. I grabbed my book bag out of the passenger seat and opened my door.

I sighed when I closed my door, today was one long weird day. Now to do homework and go to sleep. Sleep sounds pretty good.

The front door throw open ,and my mom came running down to met me, " Sakura!, Sakura! You won't believe it!"

I raised an eyebrow at my mother's antic's, she could so over dramatic sometimes.

"They found him! Sakura they found Sasuke, They found him!" She shouted down to me.

I dropped my book bag, and my world went black.

A/N: So I had this story in mind way before I put up the poll. Romance/ Humor won but Romance/Drama and Romance/Fantasy came close. This is Romance/Fantasy if you couldn't tell. I will be coming out with Romance/Humor once I think of a plot. If you guys have any ideas feel free to share them with me lol. Okay back story, Sasuke, Sakura best friend had been missing since the start of summer, and no one knew where he was at. Sasuke and Sakura had a nasty argument before he had disappeared so Sakura thought he didn't want to talk to her because of that not knowing that he was missing. So thats what the first part of this story was about. Um no Naruto is not a vampire, he is an Elite. There kinda like vampires just a lot advance and they feed off of something other than blood, they feed off intimacy and love, things like that. Review Please!
